Records of the King of Xin'an County

In the early morning of the next day, after eating the court food, Wang Chang urged Prince Xian to visit the patriarch.As for things such as the need to prepare gifts for home visits, they didn't mention a word.Wang Zixian couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, he responded while pretending to be embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Da Lang, why don't you go soon? Don't disappoint your grandfather's expectations. However, you have always been talented, and you must have a way to persuade the patriarch. We are all waiting for you information."

Hearing this, Wang Chang's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a satisfied look of "successful success".Wang Zixian sneered from the bottom of his heart, he naturally knew that Xiao Yang's move was just to promote him higher, and then to see him fall even worse.If the patriarch is so easy to persuade, why did the two of them ask so many times, but still nothing?Xiao Yang must have been shut out many times, so Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu were not allowed to try.If this matter could continue to drive a wedge between him and Wang Chang's father-son relationship, she would of course be happy to hear it.

Therefore, he was no longer polite, and said with a smile: "When a child visits the patriarch in the twelfth lunar month, he must prepare some gifts. I wonder if mother has arrangements? Otherwise, the patriarch may think that our family is rude. If we can impress the patriarch , and things should be easier to handle.” If you want to ask someone to do something, but you don’t want to give up your property, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Of course, Wang Chang is not that stupid, at least he knows how to receive gifts and handle affairs, and the principle of coming and going, so he looked at Xiao Yang: "The gift cart brought back by Da Lang and the others yesterday is very good, half of it... …No, divide more than half of it, and add some other things to make a whole car, and let Da Lang send it to the patriarch.”

Xiao Yang's face was so distressed that her face turned pale, and she almost tore off the brocade handkerchief in her hand.She glanced at Wang Zixian hesitantly, and then looked at Wang Ziling: "This... this is also a piece of filial piety from the children. Isn't it appropriate to give it to others?" She calculated carefully last night. The gift is worth a hundred yuan, which is worth the prospects of two or three farms in the family.Just giving it to the patriarch's family like this is like eating her flesh and drinking her blood!

Wang Ziling was not unaware of what she meant, but after pondering for a moment, he still remained silent.Naturally, Wang Zixian pretended not to have seen it, and only showed a bit of surprise just right.

Sure enough, Wang Chang put away his joy almost immediately, and his face was gloomy: "A woman's opinion! We know that the filial piety of the children is enough, but they are just some gifts, what can't be given?! Even such a little money is not enough. How can I ask for my official position back?" He and Xiao Yang have been husband and wife for many years, and he quickly discovered something from her evasion, and said in surprise: "It's only one night, and that carload of gifts Could it be that you have used up all of them?!"

Xiao Yang immediately rubbed her forehead and choked with tears, "Because Luoniang and Xiangniang haven't cut new clothes for a long time, I made the decision... I gave them some good materials." The exquisite valerian purchased in Chang'an West Market Satin is just right for winter and spring shirts.Although these are not very rare in Shangzhou, they are also very precious fabrics, which add up to a full value of fifty or sixty guan.When Wang Luoniang saw it, she couldn't move her eyes. Little Yang didn't want her to be wronged, so she naturally gave her several horses.As for Wang Xiangniang, what she got was just ordinary twisted satin.

Hearing this, Wang Chang tried every possible means to hold back his anger: "Just use the used ones, and put away the unused ones!" He expected that in just one night, the servants in the two daughters' houses would not be able to cut much clothing.Unexpectedly, the maidservant went to the boudoir of the two young ladies, but only brought back all the twisted satin that Wang Xiangniang shared, which was worth three or four strings at most.As for the precious valerian satin that Wang Luoniang took, it has already been cut.

Wang Zixian knew the younger sister's temperament very well, guessing that she must have heard the servant girl's message, so he directly took the scissors and twisted the satin.His selfish temperament and stupid behavior are exactly the same as Xiao Yang, Wang Chang and Wang Ziling.It's just that Xiao Yang sees that she looks like her and is a daughter who is good at acting like a baby, so she is very tolerant and loving to her.After raising and raising it, it finally became such an ugly eater, I couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Wang Chang was furious immediately, and glared at Xiao Yang: "What a good daughter you have brought up! She is so greedy for small profits, how can she look like the daughter of my Langya Wang family?! Since she used so much fabric, you have tried every means to replace it for her." She made it up! Hurry up and prepare the presents so that Da Lang can go out! If anything goes wrong, I’m the only one who asks you! It’s almost like you’re going to lose all face!!” After saying that, he threw it away Sleeve then went to the study in the outer courtyard, ignoring Xiao Yang's weeping.

Being reprimanded by him in front of his son, Xiao Yang also lost all face, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, and trembled slightly with anger.But Wang Changfang was the head of the family, and she never dared to disobey him on such important matters, so she could only prepare presents with red eyes.

Wang Ziling followed immediately, persuading her with kind words, and asking for some favors for himself.But Wang Zimu hesitated for a moment, and came to Wang Zixian: "Brother, shall I go with you? If there is one more person, maybe the patriarch will be kinder. Moreover, if it doesn't work out, and Grandpa is angry and blames him, I can also take the place Brother, share some." How could he fail to see what the result of this trip would be?Otherwise, Little Yang wouldn't have stopped them from going, but instead urged the eldest brother to try.

"You stay at home and rest at ease." Wang Zixian shook his head, "The patriarch is an elder after all, so what if he reprimands you a few words? It won't make things too difficult for me." It was because he wanted Wang Zimu to go together, It is impossible for Xiao Yang to agree, so why bother to try?What's more, he had some things he wanted to mention to the patriarch, and it was inconvenient for Wang Zimu to know.

So, after Xiao Yang once again reluctantly took out the things in the warehouse and made up the cart of gifts, Wang Zixian took a few glances, and then took the trilogy to the patriarch's house alone.Most of the Wang families in Shangzhou live in Shangzhou City, not far from each other.And the blood relationship between Wang Chang's branch and the direct lineage is not too far away. When it comes to careful consideration, he should call the patriarch Cong father, and Wang Zixian should call the patriarch Cong grandfather.

Cao Silang took a step ahead and handed over the greeting card.So, when Prince Xian arrived, the patriarch sent his eldest grandson out to meet him.After exchanging a few pleasantries and calling each other polite brothers, the Wang Family Dalang took him to the main study in the outer courtyard.A vigorous, thin old man was waiting for him.

"Grandpa, my son." The prince was very thoughtful in his gifts, and his words and deeds seemed to be the same as in the past, no different.A year ago, he was just a helpless eldest son of the original spouse, who often traveled and disappeared without a trace, and his talent and name were not much different from that of his second brother, Prince Ling.However, at this moment, he is already a student of the Imperial Academy, with Prince Pu's Mansion and Xin'an County King behind him, how can they be the same?

The patriarch caressed his long beard, looked at him with a smile, his eyes changed a few times, he nodded and said: "My good boy, I really didn't expect you to have such an encounter. I was mistaken before, thinking that your grandpa and Xiao Yang's It is impossible for people like that to teach any talents—they really can’t teach any good children, you are completely dependent on yourself, and you are what you are today. Zimu also relied on you, so he never went astray."

Wang Zixian raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "Grandpa is worrying too much. We are five brothers and sisters. It is human nature for grandpa and mother to be negligent. At least, they have never been short of food and clothing. What about having a baby. As for the others, it is fate and cannot be forced." The so-called food and clothing are of course relative terms.But it's useless to say more about this kind of inner house matter, and it is more meaningful to understate it.

Moreover, although the patriarch did not take good care of him, at least occasionally he would ask him about his schooling, so Xiao Yang did not dare to go too far.Based on this matter alone, he cared about the elder's affection.

His words were quite subtle, and the patriarch could hear them naturally, and said with a satisfied smile: "Your disposition is really rare. It would sound hypocritical to say that you don't feel anything at all, but now it is enough to see that you are really calm." Extreme - only if you can control your emotions, you can become a master in the future. However, you can rest assured that it is rare for the Wang family in Shangzhou to produce a student of the Imperial College, and after a few years, it may be a young Jinshi. The old man will never Allow anyone to ruin your career and reputation."

"Thank you, Grandpa Cong." The prince offered, "My best friend, Prince Xin'an, wrote a letter to Grandpa Cong, but did he embarrass Grandpa Cong?"

"Your Majesty's words are all from the bottom of your heart, so how can you embarrass this old man?" The patriarch said, "My good boy, you are too worried. You don't have to be so cautious when you have your Majesty looking out for you. Besides, you can rest assured, The Wang family of Shangzhou will not make it difficult for the king in the future." It was not easy for someone in the family to get acquainted with the royal family like the king of Xin'an County, so naturally they cannot be easily offended, let alone cause any trouble.Otherwise, desires will be hard to fill, and if you offend the nobleman, you will only waste future opportunities in vain.

"There is another reason for my son to visit my grandfather this time." Wang Zixian's smile deepened, and he said, "Grandpa hopes that my grandfather can say a few words for him in front of the state's meritorious officials, so that he able to return to his post."

The patriarch smiled lightly: "It's...it's really not that the old man is refusing to ignore it, but the word has been passed down from above that your grandpa's official career in this life may have been cut off." Of course, he can vaguely guess whether it is Who would have trouble with a small person like Wang Chang - who else but the Xin'an County King in Chang'an?And how could Wang Zixian know nothing about it?

"My son understands my grandfather's difficulty, but grandpa may not be able to understand it." Wang Zixian continued, with the corners of his lips slightly curled up, "Grandpa might as well promise grandpa to take him to walk in front of Gongcao personally. Only Only in this way can he see the facts clearly and not complain about his grandfather."

The patriarch was stunned, and said with a smile: "Once and for all, it should be so. You go back and tell him to wait for the news, and follow me to the state capital in two days." After that, he sighed again: "He will not send any more Looking at this old man, I will definitely embarrass you three brothers, have you thought about how to do it?"

"My child has always been filial, so I have to do everything for my grandfather." The prince replied, "However, how can a mere Guozijian student do anything?"

"...Don't worry, the old man knows very well when to hold them tightly."

"Thank you for taking care of me from my grandfather. This kind of kindness, my child will never forget it."

It is always very convenient for wise people to talk.After finalizing the important matters in a few words, the old and the young talked about the things that happened in Chang'an and Shangzhou, the customs, wealth and splendor and so on.It wasn't until the patriarch tried every means to keep him, after lunch and dinner, that Wang Zixian took his leave.

The patriarch looked at his back from a distance, as if he could vaguely see the revitalization of the Wang family in Shangzhou, and his heart was both excited and vaguely embarrassed.Such nasty things happened in Wang Chang's lineage, so how can they raise such a young man?The sum of the grandchildren he raised so well is not as good as this one.Perhaps, if he hadn't gone through so much training, he wouldn't have offered this handsome prince today.

The author has something to say: Patriarch: ╮(╯-╰)╭, maybe the feng shui of the ancestral tombs has gone to his house, how can he raise such a wonderful flower (commentary).

Wang Langjun: I praised it from my grandfather ^^

Patriarch: He plots against his grandpa without changing his face and heartbeat, and makes people feel that he has a good character... What a talent Wang Langjun: Hehe^^

Mr. Song: Do you think he is praising you?In fact, he is envious and jealous.

Wang Langjun: At least he praised him much better than Mr.

Mr. Song: Do you dislike being a teacher?

Wang Langjun: I dare not.
