Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

Wang Xifeng was right, Xue Pan knew that the Xue family lost the imperial businessman probably because of Jiang Yan's memorial, but he didn't even dare to target Wang Xifeng, he only dared to attack Chen Ling, let alone Jiang Yan.

When Jiang Yan went to visit Xue's house, it was the younger generation who visited the elders. Master Xue and Mrs. Xue didn't say anything, even though Mrs. Xue's face was very ugly, Jiang Yan just pretended not to see it.

And Xue Pan really couldn't hold back his sarcasm to Jiang Yan. Before Jiang Yan could speak, Master Xue reprimanded him first.

In short, Jiang Yan's trip went smoothly. Wang Xifeng felt a little pity after listening to Ping'er's report, and it further verified Xue Pan's "bullying the weak and fearing the hard". If Xue Pan really argued with Jiang Yan, she still admired his courage. , now it seems that he doesn't even have that courage.

But then Wang Xifeng found out that on the night when Jiang Yan went to Xue's house, Xue Pan asked Wang Ren to go out, and at the same time Wang Xifeng knew what they said.

Xue Pan complained to Wang Ren about the "power" of his parents. It was obviously Jiang Yan who was sorry for them, but because Jiang Yan had an official position, they were dissatisfied and smiled.

Wang Ren and Xue Pan complained that Jiang Yan told Wang Zisheng not to marry her before Wang Xifeng. In Wang Ren's view, this move meant that Jiang Yan wanted Wang Xifeng to guard all the wealth of the second wife of the Wang family without marrying.

Wang Xifeng thought it was very ridiculous when he heard the report from the servants. Sure enough, what my brother said was right, you can see how far you stand from the height. Wang Ren was only in Jinling, and what he saw was only the acre of Jinling. Three points of land, what I think about is all the money of the second room of the Wang family.

"The girl smiled instead of anger, she definitely won't be angry with the second master, right?" Ping'er said with a smile on the side.

"I have known his thoughts for a long time. There is no need to get angry with him because of this kind of thing. I can give him things from the Wang family whenever he wants, but I don't know if my parents will agree." Although most of the time these years I'm in Jinling, but I still go for a walk occasionally.

Either go to the capital to find Jiang Yan, or just wander around Jinling, sometimes Wang Xifeng really wants to indulge like that. Forget about the landscape, ignore all kinds of worldly things, even if life is not as refined as at home, she is willing of.

But it is a pity that since ancient times, it has been impossible to have both the fish and the bear's paw. She was born in the Wang family and enjoyed the fine clothes and fine food that the Wang family gave her since she was a child. She has to shoulder the responsibility of the Wang family.

Jiang Yan came back and lived at home for more than half a month. After knowing everything about the house, the accounts of the shop, and Wang Xifeng's management of all things, he set off for Beijing again.

After leaving Jinling, he went to Gusu first, saw that Lin Ruhai's family's pulse was healthier when he came last time, then left, and returned to Beijing to continue to be his fourth-rank official.

Before Jiang Yan left, he asked Wang Xifeng to pay special attention to Wang Ren's situation. He and Xue Pan were like-minded, so be careful not to let him do anything illegal. At that time, it would be bad to implicate the entire Wang family.

Seeing that the crown prince in the court is becoming more and more dissatisfied with those clans, and the emperor will abdicate in a few years to let the prince ascend the throne. At that time, the four major families will be the prince's primary objects of governance. The Wang family, even if they meet the Wang family while cutting up other families, they must not hurt him and Wang Xifeng.

Time flies by, and two years later, the two-year period between Wang Xifeng and Chen Ling has arrived. Chen Ling studied hard for two years, and won Tanhua in the spring examination. It can be regarded as the title of the gold list.

On the second day of Chenling High School, Chen Shao brought a matchmaker to the door. The newly promoted Tanhua Lang, who has not yet married a wife in his twenties, is naturally very popular. After winning the Juren last year, matchmakers came to the door one after another, all of which were pushed by Chen Shao. Go out and wait for today.

Wang Zisheng and Li Ci agreed in their hearts, but they also said to think about it and give Chen Shao an answer after three days.

Wang Zisheng thinks that the Wang family is a wealthy family, while the Chen family is just a merchant. Even though Chen Ling is now the No. [-] scholar, Jiang Yan was the number one scholar back then, so Wang Zisheng thinks that their family has the capital to win Joe.

When he took Joe, Chen Shao could see it, Wang Xifeng could see it, and Wang Ren could see it too. At this time, Wang Ren was filled with joy and anger. He was so happy that Wang Xifeng was about to marry, and the entire family property would be his. Angry It was Wang Xifeng who must have had something to do with Chen Ling for a long time, but let Chen Ling persecute their relatives, and she was very angry.

"In the past two years, the second brother and Xue Pan have been meeting each other almost every three to five days. I thought they were just friends, but I didn't expect to be so angry. Could it be that the two of them really have so much friendship?"

Wang Xifeng asked in confusion after hearing the servants' reports, but no one could answer her question. Ping'er had the same thought as Wang Xifeng before, and she is also puzzled now.

"It doesn't matter, I don't believe that this family business can really fall into his hands after I get married." Wang Xifeng threw the embroidery shed in her hand aside, and Li Ci asked her to learn embroidery since she was about to pass the business. , and asked her to make a wedding dress.

It's ridiculous, I didn't care about her since I was a child, now I'm going to get married and let her make the wedding dress by herself, the best tailor in Jinling City will definitely be able to make the most beautiful wedding dress, why does she bother herself, it doesn't look good , Wearing an ugly wedding dress to get married is a joke for no reason.

Ping'er picked up the flower shed that Wang Xifeng embroidered with only one petal and continued to embroider, "What the girl said is true, not to mention the old master, even the second master and second wife will definitely not agree."

Wang Xifeng sneered, Wang Ren relied on him being Wang Ziren's eldest son, and his status has become increasingly unclear over the years. In the past, Wang Zisheng didn't care about him, at least Li Ci didn't care about him, and waited for Wang Ren, the eldest son. I will give her a pension in the future.

But now Li Ci is chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha every day, and Wang Ren is in his 30s. There are a lot of concubines and concubines, and he is not looking for an official wife for him. , Li Ci is no longer afraid of other people's jokes.

Wang Ren couldn't see this clearly, and he was waiting for Wang Xifeng to take over the second branch of the Wang family after he got married. Did he really think that being a housekeeper was a fun thing?Regardless of spending money or making money, Jinshan Yinshan has to be taken into account by him.

"By the way, girl, the butler told me this morning that the fourth master sent someone to Jinling to do business, and asked the girl to go to the restaurant in the afternoon. He wanted to talk to the girl."

Wang Xifeng nodded. She knew that her brother had been doing business all these years, and it was not surprising that he came to Jinling. Because the family didn't know about these businesses, she didn't ask about them. She just sent letters to her brother through these passing businessmen. Postman is faster.

However, what Wang Xifeng didn't expect was that the person she saw in the restaurant room would be Chen Ling.

After two years, Chen Ling looks more mature, and seems to be taller than before. Is it because he lost weight?

"Why are you? You are the person sent by my brother?"

"I am not sent by the fourth brother, I and the fourth brother took the initiative to invite you here." Chen Ling said with a smile, and at the same time showed Wang Xifeng an imperial decree, "I am now the prefect of Jinling, the sixth rank, and I will be here in the future." Jinling is here for a long time, are you happy?"

"What does your long stay in Jinling have to do with me?" Although Wang Xifeng said so, there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Even if she married to the capital, she would also be reluctant to part with Jinling where she grew up, so it would be good to live in Jinling for a long time.

The two of them have not forgotten this relationship in the past two years, or accepted other temptations, which caused their beliefs to waver.

Three days later, Wang Zisheng gave Chen Shao the answer that he agreed. The two sides exchanged the courtesy, and everything was carried out according to the etiquette, three letters and six rituals. After a few days, the news that Chen Ling was going to be the magistrate of Jinling reached Jinling City.

In the past, it seemed to everyone that Wang Xifeng was married to Chen Ling. Although Chen Ling was a Tanhualang, his family business was different from that of the Wang family, but now Chen Ling came to Jinling to be the prefect. Although the sixth rank is only as big as Zhimaguan A bit lost, but it can also be said to have a bright future.

Gradually, a voice emerged in Jinling City. It is said that Chen Ling had already made a private decision with Wang Xifeng when he was in the Wang family private school.

As for the reason why Jinling was able to be named on the gold list, the Wang family must have put a lot of effort in it, otherwise it would be so good, Chen Ling returned to Jinling to be an official after winning Tanhua, saying that there is no operation of the Wang family here. Do not believe.

These remarks 'naturally' came to Wang Xifeng's ears. Originally, she was concentrating on getting married and didn't want to pay attention to those gossips. It was Ping'er who reminded her that Chen Ling was the magistrate of Jinling City. Such a bold person talking about his parents and officials is such a disgraceful remark.

As for the sophistication of the world, is it true that the people of Jinling City are all saints, and it is impossible to understand those things?

Therefore, Wang Xifeng felt that it was man-made. After some investigation, it was as expected that the source of those remarks was Xue Pan from the Xue family, and Wang Ren, who was the same as him, also contributed to it.

Wang Xifeng didn't say anything about it, and asked someone to send the investigation results to Chen Ling. Chen Ling is now an official, and he was the one who was beaten by Xue Pan in the past, but Xue Pan could only be blamed for provoking trouble. Chen Xiucai who got up was different. It was a crime to slander court officials.

Wang Xifeng didn't know exactly how Chen Ling handled this matter, but after that, Xue Pan really stopped. Not long after Wang Xifeng and Chen Ling got married, Master Xue passed away, and Mrs. Xue went to the capital with a pair of children and lived in Rongguo Mansion .

Later, Wang Xifeng heard that Xue Pan had beaten someone to death and was sentenced to exile. After that, everyone in the Jia family was arrested and exiled for various reasons. Chai returned to Jinling, and the mother and daughter depended on each other.

Of course, this is something to say later, now Wang Xifeng is actively preparing to get married, because she is now, and Chen Ling is already in her twenties, and there are very few unmarried people in this era, so the families of the two parties decided to get married in three months.

Three months is a long time, but for sentient beings, seeing each other every day is like three autumns; if it is neither long nor long, it is only a short period of ninety days, not even a hundred days, and the whole day is busy. After the preparations, when the preparations are almost done, the day of great joy will arrive.

Jiang Yan returned to Jinling from the capital, personally sent Wang Xifeng to marry, watched her get on the bridal sedan chair, and watched her pay homage. This is the girl he raised, and today she has become someone else's wife. Now he only hopes that everything goes well for her in the future.

Although Jiang Yan also knew that it was impossible to have a smooth life, this was his blessing to Wang Xifeng.

Back at Wang's house at night, Wang Ziteng called him to the study and told him many things, about the Wang family's affairs, and the situation of the court.

The Holy Majesty should abdicate in a short time. According to how much the crown prince hates the family now, I am afraid that none of the children of the family who do evil will be able to escape. The most problematic member of the Wang family is Wang Ren, but he is relatively better than other families. He and Jiang Yan are still here, so Wang Ziteng is not worried about the Wang family.

"What I'm worried about right now is your aunt's family. Your aunt's eldest son went away two years ago. It will take many more years until Baoyu grows up. I'm afraid they won't be able to give them so much time to raise Baoyu and make him promising. gone."

They are all biological brothers and sisters. Even though the younger sister is married, Wang Ziteng is still very worried about their family.

"Uncle, I think it's not a matter of time, but a matter of what you see and think. Now my aunt's family doesn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and they are still immersed in the rich and luxurious life, without the awareness of 'being prepared for danger in times of peace'. That's the scariest thing."

Wang Ziteng agreed with Jiang Yan's statement. In the past few years, he had been thinking that he couldn't control so much and just cared about the Wang family's well-being. into the fire pit.

"Uncle has my aunt's family in his heart, but if you say it rashly, they may think you are alarmist. Uncle should be more careful."

Wang Ziteng never thought before that their clans would collapse so quickly, but after thinking about it carefully, there are traces to follow, because their clans were once too brilliant, and the people in the clan let this glory Their eyes were so dizzy that there was only an empty shelf left in their eyes, and they were still unwilling to look away and look elsewhere.

"I have a measure of this matter, you don't have to worry about me."

Wang Ziteng can feel that his body is getting worse and worse than before, but at this time, if he retreats, only Jiang Yan will be on top. It will be good to be able to protect the entire Wang family by then, and he seems to think that Jiang Yan He didn't mean to rescue the Xue family and the Jia family.

Of course, Jiang Yan can't be blamed for this, those two families did something wrong, maybe he shouldn't care about it, but the family relationship can't be broken just by saying it.

Jiang Yan took all of Wang Ziteng's emotions into his eyes. Wang Ziteng valued family affection, which was a bit and a shortcoming. When his relatives were not up to date, he wanted to help them, but he couldn't be merciless, so he just struggled and regretted it.

Stuck between law and family affection, regretting not noticing this earlier, watching them make mistakes and unable to recover.

According to his memory, he died of illness on the way back to Beijing to report on his work, but he did not have any serious illnesses during the examination. Now it seems that he died of depression due to too much thinking.

That night, Wang Ziteng went to bed very late. Jiang Yan took his pulse as before when he was in the Lin Mansion, and gave him medicine, which could not influence his thoughts. Keeping his pulse in check keeps him from rushing to his heart.

Of course, if the fire is too urgent, the heart protection pill will not work.

Because Wang Xifeng got married, Jiang Yan and Wang Ziteng came and went in a hurry, Jiang Yan went to the capital and Wang Ziteng continued to check the border.

The family property did not fall into Wang Ren's hands because of Wang Xifeng's marriage, but was handed over to the two nuns who followed Wang Xifeng before, and the immediate bosses of those two nuns were still Wang Xifeng.

Wang Ren naturally refused, but Wang Ziteng spoke. Although Wang Zisheng didn't care about his children, he also knew that Wang Ren was not the material of the housekeeper. He had been using his own private property all these years. He can live without worrying about food and clothing, but he still doesn't want to watch his family go downhill.

Wang Ren was not convinced, but it didn't help. Xue Pan, who had been with him for several years, went to the capital with his mother and sister after the death of Master Xue. Xue Pan went to the capital and entered Jia's private school. I forgot about Wang Ren until I don't know where.

And Wang Ren has regarded Xue Pan as his only friend these years, and after sending two or three letters, seeing that Xue Pan did not reply, the popularity gradually went down.

Looking at the situation of these two people, Wang Xifeng suddenly understood the meaning of what Jiang Yan said to her shortly after Chen Ling went to the capital.

Time and space are two insurmountable gaps. No matter how strong the emotion is, the heat will fade because of time, and no matter how strong the emotion is, it will become less hot because of the enlargement of space.

In the past, Wang Ren valued Xue Pan a lot, not to mention the rumors about Chen Ling before getting married, and the fact that she was angry because she married Chen Ling are the best proofs, and now it is slowly fading.

"It's all in the past, so don't think about it so much." Chen Ling said with a smile after listening to Wang Xifeng talking about the previous things.

Seeing his smile, Wang Xifeng was very mysterious. Thinking of the rumor, she didn't seem to know how he solved it.

"This is a secret, it's better for the lady not to know, otherwise it will scare you."

"Don't look down on people, your wife, I don't do bad things and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The only thing that can scare me is poisonous snakes and beasts. Could it be that you sent Xue Pan to the door of the tiger cave to scare him?"

Chen Ling continued to shake his head mysteriously, "Young lady's thinking is too vulgar, it's not what we and other literati should do."

In fact, it's not a secret, it's just that I told Mr. Xue the whole thing, but there are some secrets between husband and wife, and he doesn't want to be seen through.
