perfect man wife

When Wu Xia went to Xiao Sanshu's mansion, Yan Zhiwu no longer had the cold appearance before, the shrewd and capable secular image, and he listened to the man and woman in charge of the work in an orderly manner, and then handed out the right cards to explain the work. Seeing Wu Xia coming I just said one thing to him, "You go to the side hall and wait for me, and I will come." Turn around and continue with the arrangement.

Yan Zhiwu didn't keep Wu Xia waiting for long, and came over after a while, and took a sip of warm tea before taking a seat, moistening his voice a little too much, "Why did you come to play today?" Yan Zhiwu asked.

"I came here to congratulate Third Aunt, but it seems that I came at the wrong time. Third Aunt is busy." Wu Xia said.

Yan Zhiwu smiled and said, "It's good for you to come, and I can also steal half a day's leisure."

"Xiao He's decision was made suddenly. In two days, Xiao Dian will move in and he will be busy with marriage proposals. He will even start preparations for next year's big wedding." Yan Zhiwu said, "I Now I can’t wait for one person to be used by three people.”

"Did Third Uncle discuss it with you when he made this decision?" Wu Xia asked. "It's really in a hurry. I didn't hear any news before. I went to live in Xiaofengshan's villa for two days. I thought I had lived there for half a year. The news is so closed."

"He told me after he had made an agreement with the old lady, and he also made an agreement with Xiao Dian. I probably didn't know until the elder brother knew about it." Yan Zhiwu said, but there was no complaint in his words. "Actually, I never thought of adopting the elder brother's child before. The bastard adopts the younger brother as the heir and inherits the family business. This reputation is not very good. Who would have thought that Xiao He had a conversation with Xiao Dian, so he decided to let Xiao Dian adopt him. coming."

"Speaking of which, does it have anything to do with you?" Yan Zhiwu said.

"What does it have to do with me? I don't remember what I matched?" Wu Xia asked.

Yan Zhiwu said with a smile, "Didn't your younger brother pass the No. 1 county examination before? Your younger brother is only 12 years old. Xiao Dian likes to study, and he has made a few friends. Maybe it is your younger brother's classmate or friend who said he is knowledgeable. It's not bad, seeing your younger brother in full bloom now, thinking that I don't even have a chance to end, I'm so sad, met by Xiao He, and the two of them chatted, and it was decided."

"Is that okay?" Wu Xia wondered. "Then, if he adopts the third uncle, he will be able to end?"

Yan Zhiwu nodded, "Xiaohe has read some articles written by Xiao Dian, and his knowledge is still good. Now he is busy going to the academy to find a good teacher. He will teach systematically when Xiao Dian comes to live in him."

"That's fine, everyone is benevolent. Seeing that Xiaohe has an heir, the old lady will not rush him anymore. The old lady has always wanted Yuyi to marry her grandson. Xiao Lei is impossible. Xiao Dian's original status The age is not appropriate, now Xiao He is adopted, and the status is matched, Xiao Dian himself is also a man with great ambitions, this marriage could not be better." Yan Zhiwu said. "I can finally relieve the pressure of being urged to have an heir. Everyone is happy."

"But Xiao Dian is so old, in terms of feelings." Wu Xia said, "I'm afraid it won't be closer than the ones raised since childhood."

"We have also thought about this. We don't want him to treat us like his biological father, as long as he has basic respect and love for his elders. Xiao He said that Xiao Dian is not an ungrateful person. Let's not mention this, anyway, he and We won't spend much time together, and we don't ask him for more, as long as we get old, someone wears mourning and throws a basin, and there is a stick of incense on Qingming Festival." Yan Zhiwu said.

"Third Aunt, you are so free and easy." Wu Xia said.

Yan Zhiwu looked at him and said, "Then what are your plans? If you value the relationship between father and son, then you should adopt the younger one and raise him slowly, so that the relationship will be deep."

"I haven't thought about it yet." Wu Xia said, "Anyway, no one is urging me now."

"It's time to think about it." Yan Zhiwu persuaded with the look of someone who has been here, "If you wait until the adults in the family suddenly exert pressure, you will be stunned and unable to react in time, and you will feel sad yourself."

"Second master won't." Wu Xia said firmly.

"Hey, now you and I can talk about everything. When you run for the head of the family, offspring are also a very important criterion." Yan Zhiwu said, "Let's not talk about that, I heard that you can write well in lowercase , come, come, write a few invitations for me. After the formal adoption, I will invite friends over for a drink."

"Uh, I really came here to steal half a day's leisure for you. I wrote it for you. It's not easy for you." Wu Xia said deliberately pretending to be distressed.

Yan Zhiwu was amused by him, "Okay, I accept your favor, I just got a new cook here, and she cooks wonderful Su's dim sum, now I will let her show off her culinary skills and treat her well." you."

Wu Xia agreed with a smile.

After returning from Third Uncle Xiao's house, Wu Xia wrote a letter to Xiao Yun, including the recent news from the house, what he said when he chatted with Third Aunt today, and finally asked him naturally what he thought about his son.

Xiao Yun replied quickly. He briefly wrote some comments on what happened in the mansion, and asked Wu Xia to carefully prepare gifts and not to neglect them. He also wrote a letter to Xiao Dian, asking Wu Xia to privately Transfer to Xiao Dian.Regarding the issue of children, Xiao Yun only said to let nature take its course, and there is no rush now, he asked the caravan to find out how other men and wives solved the problem of children.There are always people who want to have their own blood, but don't want the other party to get involved with women, they can always find a way to get the best of both worlds, Xiao Yun said.

Satisfied, Wu Xia put away the letter and went to Xiangshui to ask her to send the letter to Xiao Dian in a natural way that would not be suspected.Wu Xia was not curious about what was written in the letter. He was a brother for more than ten years, so there must be some affection.

Opening the ancestral hall to adopt the step-heir, this kind of scene naturally has nothing to do with Wu Xia. Wu Xia just went to the third aunt's house to drink a glass of congratulatory wine afterwards. Seeing the fourth brother who usually has no sense of presence respectfully toasted Master Xiao with a wine glass, he said Uncle, for some reason, Wu Xia felt a bit of a lie.

The five sons of the Xiao family all admire Master Xiao very much. Although Master Xiao does not value and be close to all of them, the son who is usually neglected calls him uncle, so he will feel sore.

After the adoption, Wang Yuyi and Wang Yucui were sent away one after another. Just when Wu Xia was feeling bored, someone from the Wu family said that Wu Zhen was going to go on a study tour tomorrow, passing through Liangcheng, and going to Taizhou from the south gate.

Wu Xia was surprised by Wu Zhen's route, thinking he wanted to see himself, Wu Xia said to the visitor, "Go back and tell the second master that I will wait for him at the gate of the city tomorrow."

It should be the person who came, and he took his reward and left.

Wu Xia thought that maybe Xiao Dian wanted to see Wu Zhen, so he sent someone to visit his third uncle's house. If Xiao Dian wanted to see Wu Zhen, he would go to the gate of the city with him to see him off tomorrow.

Those who went came back soon and said that the uncle would go, and that the second grandmother would wait at the corner gate of the third uncle's house tomorrow when the second grandmother went out, and he would get on the car there.Wu Xia thought, sure enough, the fourth master of Mr. Xiao's family became the uncle of Mr. Xiao's family, which is really different.

Wu Xia got up early and invited An and went out. Now that the Yao family and the Xiao Wang family are fighting against each other, Wu Xia can go out more freely if he wants to go out, and he can go out with just one word.

Picked up Xiao Dian at the gate of the third uncle. Xiao Dian was a young boy who had not yet drawn out, wearing a Confucian uniform, with a handsome face and a serious greeting.Wu Xia snickered in his heart when he first saw him, thinking that Xiao Yun should be the same as him when he was a child, pretending to be an adult at a young age always has extraordinary laughs.

Even though his heart was already rolling with laughter, Wu Xia still exchanged gentle greetings on his face, because what he thought in his heart was that he was a little closer to Xiao Dian.

Not long after arriving at the gate of the city, Wu Zhen came, followed by a strong man and a little book boy. The man mainly carried the luggage, but Wu Zhen still pretended to be carrying a scholar's bamboo basket.

Wu Zhen was very happy to see Wu Xia, so he called his elder brother and ran over.Wu Xia stretched out the bamboo basket behind him, and it was as light as expected, "You also put some books in it anyway, isn't this purely for show?" Wu Xia said with a smile.

Wu Zhen's face turned red, and he said, "Is it more interesting to see others memorize like this?"

Wu Xia touched his shoulder with a smile, and introduced him, "This is Xiao Yun's younger brother, and he will take the exam next year. Maybe we can meet again in the capital."

Seeing that there were outsiders, Wu Zhen quickly put away his childishness in front of Wu Xia, and exchanged student etiquette with Xiao Lei in a serious manner.The man and the book boy also took the opportunity to salute Wu Xia, Wu Xia hurriedly waved his hand to signal no, "Brother Chen, please take this trip."

"It should." Brother Chen said honestly.

"You went away, sister Li is at home alone." Wu Xia asked.Sister Li is Nanny Sun's daughter, and Brother Chen is her son-in-law.It is a steward of the Wu family who manages the tenants.

"The master believed me and let me go out with the second young master. Ali supported me very much. I asked my sister-in-law to accompany her often." Brother Chen said shyly.

Wu Xia nodded, "Since that's the case, if I'm free, let Nanny Sun go back to accompany Sister Li."

"Thank you, sir." Brother Chen said.

"What's the matter, are you going to travel all over the country on foot?" After Wu Zhen and Xiao Lei exchanged greetings, Wu Xia joked.

"Father told us to buy a carriage in Liangcheng." Wu Xia said.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Wu Xia asked again.

Wu Zhen rubbed his belly in embarrassment, "I was so excited when I got up in the morning." The implication was that I didn't eat much, and now I'm hungry.

Wu Xia smiled knowingly, "Come on, let's go eat something first."

Wu Xia accompanied him to eat, bought a carriage, and bought dry food.Wu Xia has been explaining all kinds of taboos and things to pay attention to when going out, some are for Wu Zhen, and some are for Brother Chen and Shutong.They bought something to see that it was getting late, so they decided to have lunch together again. After the meal, Wu Zhen had to set off, or else he would have to sleep on the street.

After sending it all the way to the south gate, Wu Xia repeatedly explained that he must often write letters home, and that safety comes first when he is away from home.Sitting on the carriage, Wu Zhen waved his hands, "Brother, go back quickly, you're talking like a little old man now."

"Little bastard." Wu Xia scolded with a smile.

Wu Zhen said very seriously, "Brother, when you came back from your study tour safely, I will also come back from your study tour safely. Just wait."

Wu Xia smiled and nodded, "I believe in you, I'll wait for you."

Wu Zhen waved his hand twice quickly, and then retreated into the carriage. Brother Chen swung his whip to drive the horse, and Wu Zhen sat in the carriage and burst into tears.

"He was crying." Xiao Dian said behind Wu Xia when the carriage was no longer in sight.When he saw it, Wu Zhen shrank his head back, his eyes were red.

Wu Xia turned around, "You're only 12 after all."

"Why doesn't he continue to take the exam? With his grades, he won't get nothing." Xiao Dian asked, "His teacher is very optimistic about him, saying that he is the number one scholar."

"He is still young, and too much honor is a burden to him. When he returns from his travels and has a stable and mature mind, then it will be the most appropriate time." Wu Xia said. "Let's go back."

Until sitting in the carriage, Xiao Dian still looked thoughtful. Wu Xia said to him seriously, "You don't need to go on a study tour, and you don't have time. You will marry Cousin Yuyi after you finish next year. Don't you Can you take Yuyi to travel together?"

"Why not?" Xiao Dian asked back.

Wu Xia was surprised, "Did you really think about this just now?"

Xiao Dian was a little silent, "You don't let him continue the exam, do you think he is too young, even if he does pass the exam, the court will not reuse him."

"There is such a little meaning." Wu Xia didn't hide it.

Xiao Dian pondered again, after all he was not much older than Wu Zhen, if he passed the exam, how would the court arrange him.

"You must pass the Juren examination, otherwise Cousin Yuyi will be laughed at when she marries." Wu Xia said coolly.

"I will definitely be admitted to Juren." Xiao Dian said firmly.

"Do you want to continue the exam?" Wu Xia asked Xiao Dian's question, "You can discuss it with your third uncle. If he has the energy to help you find a good job, you can continue to take the exam. But there is one thing you You know, Yuyi's stepmother is not friendly to Yuyi, and her stepmother's family is also a family of officials, that is to say, you already have enemies before you enter the court."

"If I have full wings, I have nothing to fear." Xiao Dian said.

"It's good that you have confidence." Wu Xia said.

"Second sister-in-law, can I communicate with Wu Zhen?" Xiao Dian suddenly changed from ambitious to shy.

"Of course." Wu Xia smiled.
