perfect man wife

Wu Xia naturally wouldn't ask if Xiao Yun missed his son, even though he and Xiao Yun often talked about everything.If you ask him and he answers yes, then how should he respond, pretending to be silly and acting cute?How long can you hang out?

While Wu Xia was sullen, he had something on his mind. When Xiao Yun learned the identity of the coming guest from Mr. Xiao, he wanted to tell Wu Xia to divert his attention and stop being angry.

"It means that the people who came were from the Xiao family in the capital, and they came for the test of the head of the family." Wu Xia concluded.

"That's what it means." Xiao Yun said. "I also vaguely know that my family may be related to the Xiao family in the capital, but I didn't expect it to be related to the same family."

"The Xiao family in the capital is a scholarly family, and most of the families were officials who entered the imperial examination. At its peak, there was a family of Wuhanlin, which was very noble." Wu Xia said that he also went to the capital when he was on a study tour. The more worthy family in the capital is him. Also heard a little.

"Qinggui, can you not be Qinggui? Do you know how much silver Daddy sends to the Xiao family in the capital every year?" Xiao Yun said, "I just found out today that the Xiao family sends 100 million silver to the capital every year. Even a family of Wuhanlin can’t make so much money.”

"Which generation is the same ancestor as yours?" Wu Xia asked.

"Let me do the math, it's probably my grandfather's great-grandfather." Xiao Yun calculated in his mind, "Didn't the great-grandfather meet the prince who seized the heirloom in his generation? Of the two sons, one stayed by my side while the other was shrewd and capable. At that time, the two brothers still had a good relationship. The Xiao family in the capital city did not participate in the seizure of the heir apparent. He also went into business smoothly and started his own business. This businessman doesn’t want to go back to study or something. My great-grandfather thinks that if something happens to me if my brothers are not together, I will still have a trace of blood in the future. So Under the witness of the great grandfather, the two of them made a contract of the same family, brothers united, and their profits cut gold."

"The Xiao family in the capital guards the family, glorifies the lintel of the Xiao family, and does not fall into the name of the scholarly family. As for the Xiao family in Liangcheng, only the descendants of the direct descendants cannot be admitted to the imperial examination. There are no requirements for the rest. Of course , both of them have to declare to the outside world that they have nothing to do with each other." Xiao Yun finished explaining.

Wu Xia was puzzled, "I don't understand what is about my grandpa and grandpa, but it's just a decisive separation of the family. Why do you want us to send money to the capital?"

"Didn't it mean that the two brothers of the first generation had a good relationship, and then the businessman made money again. Isn't the price level in this capital high? Being a Hanlin means having a good reputation and what money can you have? What about the younger brother?" I just wanted to give some money to my brother, and I will give it down year by year, and it will become a practice, and the future generations will get used to it, so I have to give it away!" Xiao Yun said.

"Then why did the Xiao family choose the Patriarch and they still have people coming?" Wu Xia asked.

"Not only the visitors, their opinions are still very important in choosing the Patriarch." Xiao Yun said. "Similarly, when the head of the Xiao family in the capital is selected, the elders on our side will also go there."

"I always feel that simple things have become complicated. Since it is for the sake of protecting the heirs, why are they entangled with each other? If they come and go like this, if they really want to commit something, they will be taken over by others." Wu Xia said with emotion. "Children are also part of the investigation."

"Why did you suddenly think of an heir?" Wu Xia changed the subject too quickly, and Xiao Yun couldn't keep up. Isn't he still saying that this phenomenon is unreasonable?Wu Xia glanced at him leisurely, remembering that she was still angry with him, turned around and left.

Xiao Yun was left puzzled.

Master Xiao naturally wouldn't just tell Xiao Yun why the distinguished guests from the capital came to him alone.It's just that Xiao Feng and Xiao Lei both knew about it one after another. Xiao Chui and Xiao Yunxu were still young and would not participate in this battle of patriarchs. For the rest, Xiao Dian didn't have this idea, and the two sons of Uncle Xiao's family also The Patriarch who is going to participate this time, and the rest are four or five children from the other family, and they should be going to the Xiao family soon.

"What?" Xiao Wangshi was a little surprised, "Lei Er, what you said is true?"

"Mother, why didn't you know before?" Xiao Lei asked. Originally, he only wanted to ask Xiao Wangshi about the secrets that Mr. Xiao didn't say after he knew the intention of the people from the capital. As a result, Xiao Wangshi didn't know .

Xiao Wangshi shook his head with a heavy expression, "I've never heard of it."

"So, it is true what the old lady said last time that the Patriarch of the Xiao family was selected through the patriarch's test." Xiao Wangshi said, "Lei'er, don't worry, this Patriarch position must be yours."

"Mother, I'm not worried. Since everyone depends on their own abilities, I will naturally not lose to anyone." Xiao Lei said, "I just listened to my father's tone. The opinions of people from the capital are quite important, so I thought, How close will make them have a good impression of me."

Xiao Wang thought for a while, "Didn't you say that the family members are all officials? It must be right for the officials to ask your uncle. Write a letter and send it over now. When the letter comes back, the guests may have just arrived. this."

"Father said that these things cannot be spread." Xiao Lei nodded, just reminding again.

"Lei'er don't worry, mother, I only inquired about the situation of the Xiao family, I didn't say why." Xiao Wangshi said, "Your uncle is not someone who likes to inquire about other people's family affairs."

"Is uncle in good health recently?" Xiao Lei asked, "If this year isn't special, I'd like to send the New Year gift to uncle's house in person."

"It's all good. The last letter said that your cousin was favored by the sage and went to work as a personal bodyguard." Xiao Wang said, "It would be best if someone in the Xiao family was an official. He and your uncle are colleagues, so I don't know. When did they ask to go to your uncle's door, they don't have a good uncle."

Two days later, the distinguished guests from the capital arrived. Mr. Xiao had explained earlier that they would go to the gate to welcome the guests. Xiao Yun stood behind Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng stood behind Xiao Lei, and other people who participated in the test were classified according to their closeness and kinship. Stand behind Xiao Yun.

There were a total of eight people in the group, four old men with white beards and hair, two middle-aged men who were about the same age as Master Xiao, one young man who was slightly older than Xiao Feng, and a young man who was about the same age as Xiao Dian.They are all dressed up as Confucian scholars, with a refined manner.In addition to the servant girl and the salute, there are five large carriages in a mighty manner.When Xiao Yun later relayed the story to Wu Xia, Wu Xia only said firmly that the young man must have come to make up the numbers.

The guests stayed in the guest house that had been cleaned up, and there was a welcome dinner in the evening. Master Xiao said that no one would easily go to the guest house to disturb the distinguished guests, but there were always people who went in in one way or another to get close, Wu Xia looked at the sitting Xiao Yun in front of him said, "Why don't you please please the guests?"

"Literati are the most noble. If you rush to curry favor, he will think that your character is not good." Xiao Yun said. "You think they will be able to see the big head now, and they will be fine if they see the close-fitting long-term follower."

"It is said that the king of Hades is easy to grind, and little ghosts are difficult to deal with. If you arrange a close servant, who knows at which critical moment you can say a good word, the result will be very different." Wu Xia said.

"Anyway, I can see you at the banquet at night. I don't really want to go. Those old people don't give me a good feeling." Xiao Yun said.Father didn't take that pedestrian seriously, of course, he didn't need to tell Wu Xia this.

At the dinner party, Wu Xia just met this group of people. The seniority of these four old people is quite high, they belong to Master Xiao’s father’s generation, and it’s no different. It's sour.

The rest of the people are well-dressed, and they are polite and distant towards others, even if they are not very warm to Mr. Xiao, but anyone with a heart can see the calculation and greed hidden in the eyes under the gentle appearance.

The dinner party used a silk screen to separate the male guests and the female relatives. Wu Xia originally followed Xiao Yun. Normally, he would sit with Xiao Yun in the male guest area. An old man chatted with Mr. Xiao, "Is there a man and wife in the house? I don't know how to arrange seats on such an occasion. According to me, some people just can't figure it out. They think that a man and a wife are also men. There is nothing wrong with having a banquet. But I don't want a man's wife and a man's wife, but the wife is a family member, if the man's wife entertains guests, if things go on like this, the husband's relationship will not be strong, and there will be big troubles."

Wu Xia silently withdrew his forward foot, turned back, and lifted his foot to walk. Yan Zhiwu had already sat on his seat, so he wouldn't get up and walk to the inner house in front of everyone. Anyway, Xiao He didn't join the Patriarch, they came here just Accompany guests.

Wu Xia politely declined Yao Shi's beckoning, and sat down at the last seat.Through the thin screen, in fact, if you speak loudly over there, you can still hear it here.

In the middle of the banquet, Wu Xia heard the voice from before saying, "Although it is said that ordinary wives are made by merchants, they are away from home. In order to socialize, one person is left at home to serve the elderly, and one person is left to socialize. What do you say?" You are also a big businessman, and you don’t usually travel far to discuss business, and you don’t need an extra person to help you socialize. Why do you want to bring up a flat wife? It's something like flat wives."

Wu Xia was about to explode with anger. Looking at the seat, Xiao Wang's face instantly became smug, but Yao's was calm, as if he didn't hear it.

"Bao Yong, stop talking." Another old man stopped the old man from spouting, "Since Xiao Hai did this, he has his reasons. As an elder, you should be cautious about your words."

Wu Xia didn't listen to the rest of the murmurs. He was thinking about how to teach this rude person a lesson.Beckoning Xiangshui to come over, and after saying this, Xiangshui nodded and left.

When the dinner was coming to an end, there was a commotion outside again, "What's the use of reading? It's useless. You are a scholar. You can't lift your shoulders, you can't resist your back, you don't understand general affairs, you don't understand economics, and you still call yourself a scholarly family. Isn't that right?" I want to come to a relative of a merchant to play the autumn breeze."

"Second Uncle, Er Uncle, you're drunk, I'll take you back to your room to rest." Someone said eagerly.

"I'm not drunk, how much wine do I drink, huh, huh, huh, huh, why can't I pass the exam, since I was 16, I'm 66 this year, I haven't passed the exam yet, I Why can't I pass the exam, what family education, all the students taught passed the exam, I couldn't pass the exam, and the disciple who passed the exam didn't admit that he was my student, why didn't I pass the exam, why didn't I pass the exam .” The old man’s voice was sharp.

"It's just that I couldn't pass the exam, so everyone humiliated me. He looked like a gentleman on the outside, and he came to his relatives' house to play the autumn breeze. He is a scholarly family. He wants to support his family with money from merchants. What is his character~~~" said the old man After the last roar, he passed out.

The old man with the longest white hair was almost black. Looking at the silent Xiao Hai, his expressionless brother and some contemptuous nephews, and then at the prodigal old man sleeping in his nephew's arms at the banquet, his mouth was dark. Blood was barely spat out.

"It's almost done after eating like this, let's go away." The white-haired old man said indifferently, of course he was pretending.
