Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

"Calculating the time, the second child and his wife should be here soon." Jinling Wang's family, Hu said counting the time.

Mrs. Li served a cup of tea and said, "It should be soon."

Mrs. Hu saw that Mrs. Li hesitated to speak, and knew what she was thinking, "I know that you and the boss have worked hard for the Wang family these two years, but is Brother Ren the second son's son or the eldest son? Did he go to a harsh place like a military camp?"

Li-shi lowered her eyes and remained silent. She was surprised when she received her husband's letter. She didn't expect him to let Wang Ren go to the military camp, but then she realized that this matter might be a trouble. As the eldest sister-in-law, she manages the whole family She has no complaints about doing more things for the second room, and she can even bear losses in some things.

However, it is clear that the strategy of "good medicine tastes bitter, but good advice hurts ears" is not feasible. Neither the old lady nor the second child's family are willing to send Wang Ren to the military camp. She didn't want to see it.

Hu's body has been in poor health since she fell ill, and her body is not as good as before. Her feelings are the clearest. It's not that she doesn't want the boss to take care of Wang Ren, but that she can't go to places like military camps. The old lady of the Wang family is because of After struggling on the battlefield, the body couldn't bear to go to the west before enjoying the blessing for a few days.

After serving Mrs. Hu for dinner, Mrs. Li went back to her yard, thinking about the situation that her husband should have now, she was worried for a while. They have been married for many years, and they can empathize with each other's feelings. I only hope that he can handle it well. Make his mother dissatisfied with him.

At the same time, in Wang Ziteng's study, Wang Zisheng, Wang Ren and Jiang Yan were all there. Looking at his mother's letter, Wang Ziteng was furious, and he glanced at Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren.

Wang Zisheng has been under the supervision of Wang Ziteng since he was a child. In recent years, Wang Ziteng has rarely seen him as an official, but he still has an instinctive fear when he sees him again. .

Now Wang Ziteng didn't say anything, just glanced at him, and he couldn't help but tremble. Wang Ren is better than his father. After all, Wang Ziteng is very kind to the younger generation, and has never been as harsh as he was to Wang Zisheng. Pass.

"You have already beaten him about stealing things from the house, so I won't talk about it. Now he has made his mother sick with anger. The mother is already old, and she is kind and unwilling to let her grandchildren suffer. You think the same way, second brother. ?"

"I...Big brother, I think...I think everything should be decided by the big brother." Wang Zisheng hesitated, and finally said this sentence.

"Father..." Wang Ren yelled from the side. People don't go to places like military camps. "Am I your son? Am I a descendant of the Wang family? Do you really want me to die in battle to make you happy?" ?"

"Shut up, you're mad at grandma, and you still think you're right. Do you want me to ask for family law again?"

Wang Zisheng just felt ashamed and panicked. He was inferior to his elder brother in everything since he was a child. It's only been a while, and the eldest son has caused so many troubles for him.

Wang Ren didn't say a word, but it could be seen from his expression that he didn't think he was wrong. Wang Ziteng became more and more angry when he saw him like this, but this was not his own son. If it was his own, he should be beaten. Scolding, completely letting him decide.

"Since the second brother has nothing to say, let's send Brother Ren to the barracks. I'll clear the way, and you don't have to worry too much, second brother. There are not as many wars as our ancestors. Even if Brother Ren goes to the barracks It’s not necessarily going to be on the battlefield, it’s just tempering his temperament, and we won’t let him die on the battlefield.”

This rhetoric is for Wang Zisheng, and it is also for the Hu family. If it is said that the Hu family still loves his grandson, Wang Ziteng feels that there is really nothing he can do about the second room. After all, filial piety is too great, and he can't openly disobey his mother. The command.

Jiang Yan was just a lively person from the beginning to the end. He watched Wang Ziteng give the order, and Wang Ren tried his best to struggle but still had no choice but to be sent to the military camp. Fu, Wang Ziteng didn't say that he was from his Wang family, but that he was a distant relative who wanted to find a place to practice martial arts.

But the apology Wang Xifeng had been waiting for did not come. A person who made his grandmother mad and fell ill didn't feel that he was wrong. How could he apologize for stealing a little girl's jewelry?

That was impossible, but Wang Xifeng was still a little disappointed. After all, she was different from Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan knew that Wang Ren was not a good person when he first came to this world, so he didn't have any expectations for him at all.

Wang Xifeng's first impression of Wang Ren was "Second Brother", plus Li Ci often said in her ear that she had two biological brothers, Wang Xifeng inevitably equated Wang Ren and Jiang Yan, and then gradually realized The difference between the two brothers.

Now that Wang Ren has been sent away, Jiang Yan and Wang Xifeng don't feel much. Wang Zisheng treats the children like a shopkeeper, and his son is just a tool for him to carry on the family line. Maybe he doesn't like the concubine he brought into the mansion. Woolen cloth.

The only one who was sad was Li Ci, Wang Ren was her first son, she spent the longest time with her and devoted the most effort and energy, so the relationship was naturally extraordinary.

After celebrating the prince's birthday, Li Ci returned home and became seriously ill. He lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was also very emaciated. All he could do at home was to see a doctor. As for bringing Wang Ren back No one said anything.

On and off, it didn't get better until the beginning of spring, but the spirit was not as good as before. Jiang Yan estimated that even if Wang Ren came back, she would not be able to recover.

After Wang Xifeng's fourth birthday, Jiang Yan took the initiative to enlighten Wang Xifeng. Wang Zisheng's father did not participate in anything about the children except for donating a sperm. Li Ci himself was illiterate, let alone took the initiative to let his daughter study.

What is advocated in this dynasty is that "a woman's ignorance is virtue", and only literati's families, or those who care about their daughters, will let their daughters read and write. In my memory, Wang Xifeng is illiterate, and she can often recognize a few words roughly. After marrying into the Jia family, I often saw it before I remembered it.

The ancestors of the Wang family were military generals, so they didn't pay much attention to literary accomplishment. Although Wang Ziteng was a literati who came from the imperial examination, he went out to be an official, and he was too busy with big and small things to care about his niece's reading and literacy.

Jiang Yan is now giving enlightenment to Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng has no interest in it at all. With the pen in her hand, the ink has already blurred a large area on the paper, and her thoughts have gone to nowhere.

Jiang Yan now knows why Wang Xifeng will be in charge of Jia's family in the future, and she still doesn't know many words. She has no interest in feelings, and he didn't notice this when she was too young before.

"Wang Xifeng."

Seeing that she was in a daze again, Jiang Yan called out.

Wang Xifeng suddenly heard a voice, and the pen in his hand fell directly, and the whole paper was stained black, "Brother, why did you call me? I was so scared that I dropped the pen."

"You are quite confident, what were you thinking just now? I asked you to write big characters, how many pictures have you written?"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips when she heard Jiang Yan's question. She didn't like writing, it was so difficult.

Seeing that her hands and face were all stained with ink, Jiang Yan asked someone to get a basin of water to wash her face and hands. He no longer expected Wang Xifeng to have such a good literary talent. But a person must know a few words in order to live, how could he not know a single word?

Wang Xifeng obediently washed her hands and face, and then applied the fragrant ointment. She could smell the fragrance of flowers from her hands and face, and she liked it very much.

"Brother, let's go out and fly a kite. I asked Mama Liu to buy a kite yesterday. The big bird's is really nice." Wang Xifeng said with a smile while holding Jiang Yan's hand.

Jiang Yan pointed to the book paper on the table, "Go and write ten different types, and I'll take you there when you're done."

"Don't write, then I won't go." Wang Xifeng climbed onto the kang and sat cross-legged while still crossing her chest, as if she wanted to tangle herself into a ball, but her eyes kept looking at Jiang Yan.

It was a very tricky thing, Jiang Yan got up and straightened his robes, and called Liu Ma outside the door, "I have something to go out of the house, my aunt is not at home today because she went to the outskirts of the city to deal with the farm rent, mother and grandmother I'm not in good health, don't let Sister Feng go to their place to make trouble."

"Understood, I will look after Miss." Liu Ma agreed.

Wang Xifeng watched Jiang Yan leave without looking back, ran down in disbelief, and ran to the gate of the courtyard without even seeing Jiang Yan's shadow.

Angrily, she climbed onto the kang, crossed her legs and hugged her chest as before, but this time she was really angry, different from the makeup just now.

Liu Ma took a small plate of dim sum and put it on the kang table, and said with a smile: "Sister Feng just listen to Si Ye's words and write a few more words. I heard that there are many people flying kites outside, and the sky is full of them." A big colorful bird, the lady has 'phoenix' in her name, and the kite she flies must also be 'a hundred birds chasing the phoenix'."

In fact, Wang Xifeng couldn't quite understand what Liu Ma said, but she seemed to be praising her, but she really didn't want to write, so she made it straight behind the table with a pen, which was very uncomfortable.

I took a small snack and ate it. It would be great if I could go out and fly a kite without writing.

"Mother Liu, carry me behind the desk, I want to write."

"Okay, Madam Liu will grind the lady herself."

A four-year-old girl, no matter how smart she is, she is only four years old. She can grasp Jiang Yan's soft-heartedness towards her, but she doesn't know that Jiang Yan wants to make her better, not just treat him well.

He is stricter with her now. In the future, she can use her ability to win others to treat her well. That is Jiang Yan's goal.

Jiang Yan came back at night, and ten large characters had already been placed on his desk, besides, there was a cup of milk tea pressed against the paper, which was already completely cold, presumably it had been placed here for a while.

Ten large characters, for Wang Xifeng to write like this is not bad, one big character on a piece of paper, although there are only ten characters, but it is estimated that she will have to write for a long time, so that she can bring her out to fly a kite tomorrow. It's on the agenda.

Wang Xifeng didn't come out for no reason, and she exchanged ten big characters for the opportunity to go out and play, so she cherished it very much, and she was not willing to go home until evening.

After that, it seemed to become an unwritten rule. Whatever Wang Xifeng asked for, she had to exchange for reading and writing. The conditions were laid out, and it was up to her whether she could fulfill them.

Some did it, some didn't, Jiang Yan satisfied her when she did it, and Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't satisfy her request when she didn't complete it according to the conditions.

This method has been maintained for a year, and Wang Xifeng has already recognized [-] characters.

Ever since she found out that she had no interest in studying, Jiang Yan kept her requirements to a minimum. She writes more than 300 words a year, on average one word a day. It is enough if she can remember deeply and never forget. Too many demands are on Wang Xifeng. It is also a burden to say that there is still a long way to go in life, so we must continue to progress step by step.

On the day of Laba, after drinking Laba porridge, Wang Xifeng asked, "I want my brother to take me to Gusu to watch lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Which article should I read or how many words should I write?"

"Go to Gusu to see the lanterns? Didn't you see them last year? Let's see the lanterns in Jinling City this year."

Jiang Yan suggested, but Wang Xifeng flatly refused, "No, I'm going to see the lanterns in Gusu. I've already agreed with Yinglian to give her lanterns. Didn't you say you can't keep your word? ?"

"Yinglian?" Yes, there is also the question of Yinglian. If Wang Xifeng hadn't said that he had almost forgotten about it, it seemed that he would have to go and see it on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. "You two are babbling." That's what you're talking about? You were only two years old when you saw her last time, and she can't speak well."

"Brother hates it. Of course children can't speak well, so there's nothing to laugh at." A pair of bright eyes expressed her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Yan smiled and said that he was not mocking, "Well, as long as you can write three hundred different characters silently and know what they mean, I will take you to Gusu to see lanterns."

"Really?" Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up in a flash. She could already know those words. It's no problem to write silently. As long as she knows the meaning of the words, she can naturally say the meaning.

"Of course it's true."

Wang Ziteng was able to come back during the New Year's Eve this year, but he didn't spend much time at home, only less than ten days, but anyway, it was considered to be at home for the New Year. His wife and son were very happy. It was also a pleasure to see the eldest son.

It's just that she didn't see Wang Ren during the New Year's Eve dinner, so Hu couldn't help but miss her a little bit. Although Li Ci was the same as her, she didn't dare to express it, and could only secretly wipe her tears.

Jiang Yan ignored everyone's yearning for Wang Ren. Now he thought about why he had to find a reason to take Wang Xifeng out together before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

If you ride a horse, you will arrive in Gusu in a whole day. If you count the round trip, it will take at least three days. This is based on the fact that Wang Xifeng can adapt to fast horse riding. If the bumps are too fast, it will definitely delay the trip. .

After much deliberation, Jiang Yan decided to tell a little lie. To the outside world, he took Wang Xifeng to the temple to pray for blessings, and stayed in the temple for a few days before going back.

The family did not doubt that Wang Ziteng left Jinling on the eighth day of the eighth day, and Jiang Yan took Wang Xifeng to the temple on the tenth day of the eighth day, and then set off from the back door of the temple and took Wang Xifeng to Gusu on horseback.

Just like the boat ride before, Wang Xifeng sat in Jiang Yan's arms and rode on the horse without feeling uncomfortable at all. Occasionally, she stretched out her little hand to face the wind, giggling when she felt the wind.

Because of enough time, Jiang Yan did not hurry too fast. It took two days to arrive in Gusu. As soon as he arrived in Gusu city, Wang Xifeng felt very familiar. Tell me all the funny things.

This also once again verified the fact that the two of them were doing "Hutong Strings" before.

This time, they didn't bring the servant girl out, it was just the two of them. Jiang Yan must pay more attention to Wang Xifeng. He lost him once when he came out, and it would be hard to find him if he wanted to.

After arriving in Gusu, Jiang Yan first inquired about the Lin family's affairs, and learned that Lin Ruhai had been promoted to the doctor of Lantai Temple, and that his wife and young master were both in good health.

As for the Zhen family, it was still the same as when he left. Zhen Shiyin was a squire, and his daughter was already three years old.

Jiang Yan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this. The person Zhen Shiyin sponsored was Jia Yucun, right? !

When Jia Yucun was an official, it happened that Zhen Shiyin's family was in trouble, but Jia Yucun did not repay his kindness. Instead, he took away Mrs. Zhen's maid as the second wife.

A few years after that, Jia Yucun was dismissed from office because of corruption and breaking the law. Without a way out, he became the teacher of Lin Ruhai's daughter Daiyu. Later, he met Jia's family through Lin Ruhai and continued to be an official.

What impressed Jiang Yan deeply was that Jia Yucun met Yinglian who was kidnapped and trafficked after becoming an official, and sentenced a muddled case. Even after knowing that Yinglian was Zhen Shiyin's daughter, he completely ignored Zhen Shiyin's kindness to him. It would be better to offend the powerful and ruin one's own future.

Zhen Shiyin, Jia Yucun: The real thing is hidden, and the false words spoken exist in the world, which is extremely ironic.

"Brother, brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing Jiang Yan was lost in thought, Wang Xifeng tugged at his sleeve vigorously.

Jiang Yan came back to his senses, "It's nothing, Sister Feng is now reading by herself, and has heard many stories, can my brother tell you a story today?"

"What story?" Wang Xifeng asked curiously. In order to let her study, her brother specially selected two maids who could read to serve her. Those two maids often told her stories, and her brother occasionally told her stories. story.

Therefore, even though Wang Xifeng didn't know the story Jiang Yan was going to tell her, she didn't pay attention to it, and just listened to it as a story.
