Records of the King of Xin'an County

Chapter 183 The Uninvited Guest

When the old mother Fu Anuo saw Wang Luoniang, the kind smile on her face disappeared in an instant.There is no other reason, Wang Luoniang looks too much like the young Yang Shi when she was young, but there is no pity and weakness in her frowns and smiles, on the contrary, she is extraordinarily quiet.She sighed in her heart, and after she settled Wang Luoniang properly, she put away the two sets of head and face jewelry from the West Market store.

"From now on, Luo Niang and Xiang Niang will be raised by Mother Lao Fu." Wang Zixian smiled slightly, "The poisonous woman neglected to teach them, and they only learned everything they should learn. Not to mention, the aristocratic family Women should learn how to conduct themselves in the world, how to assess the situation, and how to handle economic and general affairs." As for independence and not being controlled by others, there should be no need to learn.The two younger sisters in his family are definitely not dodder flowers, and he is very relieved of their decisiveness at the moment.

A Nuo couldn't help but shook his head: "Since the old slave agreed to come here, he knows what to do. Don't worry, the poisonous woman has already got what she deserved, and the old slave will not anger the children she gave birth to later." As for Wang Ziling, The weapon that was once used by Xiao Yang to deal with Dayang has rotted from the root, and it is retribution to be in the current situation.

Wang Zixian supported the old Fu's mother and came to the warehouse built by the back room of the main courtyard.But in just a few days, a lot of good things have been accumulated in the originally empty warehouse.Most of them are clothing materials, accessories, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, ornaments, etc. that he used, and the other half are gifts that he bought back specially and packed in carefully crafted wooden boxes.In addition, there are more than [-] boxes and cages for the items used by the female family members.

The old mother carefully looked at the two new sets of masks he bought: "Little Lang, you seem to be a little alienated from them, but in fact you have taken good care of them. This old slave has never seen Yang's family back then. What kind of headgear does the man buy for his female relatives, or bring some other things. Moreover, these jewelry are full of water and cost a lot of money? Even for the lady, there were only two sets of such good headgear back then. That’s your grandmother Good stuff for the bottom of the box."

"It's just to prepare some dowry for them, and it's nothing to take care of. Moreover, these two sets of headgear are for them to use as a press box, so that they will not have no suitable jewelry to wear in the future, and instead fall into the name of the Wang family. In my opinion Come to think of it, instead of hoarding head jewelry for them, it would be more cost-effective to buy some Zhuangzi shops." The prince offered.

He is actually a cold person.For the person who is really in his heart, even if he is to give up everything and even give up his life to protect him, he is also willing to do so.To him, the remaining two younger sisters were more like an unfulfilled responsibility, at most there was a tinge of pity.

"The second lady is still young, and it's too early to propose marriage. The eldest lady is already old, and she should look good in the past two years." A Nuo continued, "However, after all, Mr. Xiaolang is only the elder brother. If there is no suitable one Let the elders help you decide who to choose, so that the little brother-sister relationship you have left will be wiped out by these things in the future."

"Mother Fu, don't worry, I already have plans." Wang Zixian comforted her.

The old mother looked at him, and sighed again: "Mr. Lang planned well for them, so why don't you worry about your own marriage at all? Is it possible that the Duke of Hongnong County is really going to be a matchmaker? Didn't the sage also want to be a matchmaker before?" The old slave feels that instead of marrying a daughter of the Yang family or a daughter born to a daughter of the Yang family, it is better to marry the head of the clan and county."

"Mother Fu, I already have someone I love, and I will marry him home sooner or later." Wang Zixian raised his lips, turned and left without waiting for Mother Fu to react.

Today he still has a literary meeting for the new Jinshi, and by the way, he can also ask them what they are doing.Among these new Jinshi, several have always been friends with him, and two or three have also shown goodwill to him.As for whether to part ways in the future or continue to work together, it depends on each other's vision and choice.

This article will be held in a Taoist temple in nearby Lifang.Everyone wore Taoist robes, sitting under the shade of willows by the small pond, drinking wine and admiring the lotus, they were quite at ease.In addition to Prince Xian, Cheng Wei, who is also a No. [-] Jinshi and one of the Tanhua Envoys, is surrounded by the most people.The two have the potential to fight against each other, which makes many people who want to have their own way quite embarrassed.However, when Yan Balang brought some students from Guozixue and Taixue to join in the fun, Wang Zhuantou's momentum was far beyond comparison.

After chatting for a while, the prince stood up and toured this small Taoist temple with Yan Balang and others.Before they knew it, they all got separated, Wang Zixian detoured a few ways, asked the little Taoist who was cleaning the courtyard nearby, and then pushed aside a hut at will to rest.However, someone was already in the dormitory—Sun Rong turned around and offered him the fried fragrant tea to taste.

"As expected of someone who started a tea business, even the tea he brewed looks good." Wang Zixian praised with a half-smile, and then mentioned the business route of the Western Regions, "I wanted to do business routes in the Western Regions before. But he couldn’t compete with those Sogdian Hu merchants, so he had to give up temporarily. Now if you think about an idea, whether you borrow the connections of those Hu merchants or borrow the momentum of other people, you have to slowly build this trade route. Get up. Gaining benefits is the second most important thing, and hearing the news is the most important thing."

"Alang, we still have the post of Princess Changning in our hands. This is the most popular noble lord right now, and those Hu merchants who try their best to honor her have no way—" When mentioning the business route, Sun Rong couldn't help but get excited. "If I am willing to help them connect, I think they will be willing to give me a profit or two."

"No, you can't borrow the name of Princess Changning when traveling to the Western Regions." Prince Xian thought for a moment, "I'll discuss it with Xuan Qi first, and then decide whose post to borrow."

At first, Sun Rong was quite puzzled.But if you think about it carefully, your husband is already regarded as Princess Changning on the surface. If he makes it clear that his reliance is also Princess Changning, how can he make those hostile people put down their guard?The most important thing to go to the Western Regions is to inquire about news. If the other party is cautious enough, they will only get fake news and will never be able to gain trust.As for profit, it is secondary... However, why is it that I feel a little lost just thinking about it this way?

"You really got into the eyes of money." Seeing the unconcealable regret in his expression, Wang Zixian couldn't help laughing, "Nowadays, the family wealth is more than thousands of dollars, don't you think it's not enough?" Even in Chang'an In the city, the two brothers and sister Sun Rong can be regarded as a wealthy family.Although it is still not as good as those rich and wealthy businessmen who have been in business for many years, it will only take a few years to surpass them.

"Not enough, no matter how many times I think it's not enough." Sun Rong said frankly, "When I was a child, I was afraid of being poor... Sigh... I still want to build a golden house in the future so that Alang can live in it."

"..." Wang Zixian suddenly felt that it was time for him, the most trusted subordinate, to read the history books.

After making such a grand vow, he failed to move his family, A-Lang. Sun Rong was full of doubts and regrets, and reluctantly left.The two of them rarely meet each other, and Sun Jinniang has grown into a big lady, so it is a bit reluctant to dress up as a young man, and it is extremely difficult to meet.However, private correspondence is now more frequent than ever.

After resting in this hut for a while, Wang Zixian returned to the small pond again.Perhaps because of his absence, there were more people around Cheng Wei, and the newly promoted school secretary also chatted and laughed with everyone calmly.Seeing him returning, he took the initiative to sit over and greeted him very kindly.

As if inadvertently, Cheng Wei said: "In two days, Yang Zhuantou will hold a small essay meeting, will Zi Xian go?"

"Wenhui?" Wang Zixian pondered for a while, and smiled, "I haven't received my cousin's post yet, maybe my cousin has his own plans."

Cheng Wei had heard that he and the Yang family were distant relatives, and he was a little surprised when he heard that: "The posts are sent out one after another, maybe they haven't been delivered yet." Talked about others.He also lived in Fuji Garden for a few days when the rumors were raging years ago, and the two were actually not estranged, nor close.

After the literary meeting was over, the prince returned to the rattan garden.Originally, he thought that Mr. Song should bring He Cheng back, but he never thought that neither of them had returned yet.However, the concierge reported that a Du Langjun had just arrived and was waiting for him in the study in the outer courtyard.When it comes to Du Langjun, Du Chongfeng is the only one he knows.

After Wang Zimu became a monk, Du Chongfeng was quite depressed for a while, and it is said that he stayed behind closed doors in the other courtyard of the Yang family all day long.Later, he probably finally figured it out, and gradually returned to his old life.Moreover, like Wang Xiangniang, he often went to Ci'en Temple to see Yuan Wu who had become a monk.Unlike Wang Xiangniang who firmly wanted to persuade Yuan Wu to return to vulgarity, he came to discuss Buddhism with Yuan Wu.After coming and going, the friendship between the two is actually a bit deeper than before.

Both Wang Zixian and Li Hui spoke highly of Du Shishilang.They unanimously felt that he was the most talented disciple of Mr. Zhou, and his character was also polished the best, but he just lacked some desire for fame and fortune.But for those who want to get ahead, perhaps the pursuit of fame and fortune is the most important thing, and talent is second.Therefore, his disposition, in the eyes of the Yang family and Mr. Zhou, lacks an "enterprising" heart.

If he does not take the imperial examination for a long time, he will not be able to help the Yang family.Three years and five years are fine, but after ten or eight years, will the Yang family and Mr. Zhou still allow him to spend his days idle like this?No matter what choice he made in the end, as long as he stayed in the Yang family, he would become an enemy sooner or later.After all, Yang Qian is his senior brother, and the Yang family can be regarded as his bole and benefactor who protects him, and he will never betray his teacher.

It was also because of this that even though he had always been close to Li Hui, Li Hui had never let go of his guard against him—as for Wang Zixian, after finding out that he was extraordinarily kind to Li Hui, he became even more jealous.

Also because of this estrangement, the two of them rarely communicate in private.But I don't know what Du Chongfeng came here for?

The handsome young man sitting in the study did not turn around, and said directly: "Yang Shangshu wants to marry Yang Ba Niang to you, but Senior Brother Yang wants to marry her to me—I have no interest in her, why don't you marry her?" Let’s get married, and she’s the Duke’s first daughter, with a generous dowry, which can be called a rare good marriage.”

At this moment, Wang Zixian had a strong urge to beat him with a whip, and then drive him out of the house like the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.
