302. Chapter 302 The left hand turns the right hand
Do you still remember the down-and-out scholar that Qian Wubing picked up from the Confucius Temple in Nanjing? Do you still remember the cheap calligraphy and painting master of Miss Sun Qiansun? Yes, the Mr. Tang in Su Su's mouth is this one - Tang Yin and Tang Bohu.
In line with the principle of respecting teachers, Sun Qian wrote a letter and invited Tang Yin to come to the capital. Tang Yin, who faced the Wu family and his son every day in Nanjing and had nothing to say, seemed to have stayed in one place for a long time and was thinking of traveling. Wu
The father and son didn't have much in common with Tang Yin. Since the letter from the capital asked him to go there, they naturally sealed off the expenses and sent him to Beijing as a gift.
But our great talent of the Tang Dynasty lived up to his reputation as a arrogant ****. Before leaving Jiangsu, he scattered all the money prepared for him by the Wu family and his son in Wenrou Township, and just relied on selling money all the way.
Calligraphy and painting got mixed up in the capital. Of course, in his words to Sun Qian, this journey was like reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, looking at the picturesque scenery of the country, and drinking with friends, which was not pleasant. The real situation is probably only
He knew it himself.
She was just a female disciple he had accepted at random, but now she has become his bread and butter. He must not have thought of this at the beginning. Sun Qian's natural courtesy made him teach this female disciple even more while wandering among the flowers.
He worked hard, and now his painting skills, Sun Qian can not only inherit his true skills, but at least 50% of his charm, that is absolutely unparalleled.
At the same time, what made him depressed was that although his talent and reputation were not well known to all women and children in Nanzhili, no matter where he went, as long as he showed the name Tang Yin, he would always gain some respect and admiration. But when he arrived in the capital,
, but his reputation is not very easy to use. Not to mention that he knows very little, even if he knows, few regard him as the talented scholar of the Tang Dynasty who was famous in Jiangnan in the past. In the eyes of those people, he, Tang Yin, is nothing more than
He is an unlucky person who was involved in the examination case in the past, and is just a down-and-out scholar who has never had any chance of officialdom.
Comparing these two things, Tang Yin is naturally depressed. The Qian family has a big business now, and their house is much more luxurious than it was in Nanjing. Sun Qian arranged a small courtyard for him, and he is depressed.
Apart from occasionally going to the **** to cheat on little girls, Tang Yin would just stay in the yard and paint butterfly beauties and the like.
As soon as Qian Wubing heard that Tang Yin was at his home, he immediately thought of letting Zhang Cai live with him. Both of them were scholars and both had very good minds. When they stayed together, they always had something in common.
topic! He even felt a little regretful. It would be great if the identities of Zhang Cai and Tang Yin were changed. Zhang Cai knew everything about the officialdom and served as his staff, while Tang Yin had a talent and reputation, but his talent could not be used as a job.
Eat, this guy doesn’t know much about officialdom, so just let him use the name of a talented person to make money for himself, that would be the best of both worlds.
As for finding a family background for Tang Yin, Qian Wubing never thought about it. Not to mention that he was the protagonist of the imperial examination case that the emperor approved never to hire. With Tang Yin's temperament, could he be an official material?
"Is that Zhang Cai very useful to our family?" Wu Yanran gently stroked her belly and asked with a smile after Qian Wubing explained the origin of Zhang Cai.
"Well, it should be useful. Let him talk to his father-in-law about this matter when he comes back. If someone who doesn't trust him follows him, I don't dare to let him out. If what he said is true, I think that at least our son will be safe for the rest of his life.
If you come down here, you can be sure that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!" Qian Wubing nodded slightly.
"I don't understand these things, but if his identity is known, it will be of no benefit to our family. Wu Yi, you have to send him away as soon as possible!"
Wu Yanran said: "Dad is getting old, and I don't want him to do this running around. He hasn't enjoyed much happiness in his life. Now that you and Hu Chen are both successful, it's time to let him enjoy the happiness."
, if you must have someone close to you to follow this matter, let the eldest brother do it. If you don’t want to do the flag-bearer’s errand, then just don’t do it. Now we are not short of the salary!"
The eldest brother Wu Yanran was talking about was naturally Wu Junhou, her and Wu Huchen's brother. Thanks to Zhang Yong's promotion, Wu Junhou was now serving as the general bannerman in the flag guard. Compared with Qian Wubing and Wu Huchen's future, it was natural that Wu Junhou
There's no comparison.
"I will talk to my elder brother about this later. If he is willing, that would be the best. If he is not willing, I will think about it again!"
Qian Wubing thought about it for a moment. No matter how well Zhang Cai manages the fleet, there is no doubt that as soon as Zhang Cai leaves his sight, his manpower will be at a disadvantage. The human heart is the most difficult thing to guess.
At present, Zhang Cai seems to be obedient and obedient, but who can guarantee that he will not have second thoughts, and even end up backfiring on himself.
To ensure that this person does not have second thoughts, the most direct way, other than to win over him with kindness, is of course to prevent him from having second thoughts. This combination of strength and softness is the right way!
"This is something our family can't afford. It's a million-tael business. Some people risk their lives to gamble, and I can't do it myself. I think the princes and father-in-law in Nanjing may also be interested in adding a kick.
Over the past year or so, Eunuch Wang has been able to gain a firm foothold under Liu Jin's pressure. Now that Liu Jin has fallen, Eunuch Wang is afraid that no one in Jiangnan can suppress him!"
When Qian Wubing said this, Wu Huchen suddenly said "Oh": "I almost forgot, brother-in-law, please wait, my uncle sent you a letter, I will get it for you right now!"
After a while, Wu Huchen came back with a letter. Qian Wubing took the letter and opened it to read.
The last time I received a letter from Wang Yue was after the New Year, and a few months passed in the blink of an eye.
The letter didn't say much. It basically contained the smell of a letter from home, some trivial matters guarding the eunuch's house, changes in the weather, and even what he likes to eat recently. These things were all written in, and he rambled on, making him look like a lonely old man.
Regarding the words of the younger generation, Wang Yue only said a few words about Qian Wubing, which made him restrain his sharpness and act after thinking.
"What did you say in the letter?" Wu Yanran saw Qian Wubing's face changing from smile to weird, and she couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Eunuch Wang seems to know about your pregnancy!" Qian Wubing looked at the letter with an indescribable feeling. There were two pages of paper, and Wang Yue actually had half of the paper written about Wu Yanran and the fetus in her belly.
He even specifically told him a few things that the pregnant woman should pay attention to in the letter. The main content of the letter sent by the dignified former eunuch and now the eunuch of Nanjing was this, Qian Wu
Can the look on the sick face not be weird?
"Dad has already said that Eunuch Wang has read the letter I sent him. It seems that Eunuch Wang went to our house in Nanjing several times to chat with Dad?" Wu Yanran said without any surprise.
"Wu Bing, let me tell you something!" Wu Yanran hesitated for a moment. She didn't know how Qian Wu Bing would react after hearing this.
"Well, you tell me!" Qian Wubing disagreed and agreed, folding the letter and putting it in his arms.
"I heard from my father that the prince is interested in letting our Qian family adopt a son to the Wang family to continue the legacy of the Wang family!" Wu Yanran said with some anxiety.
Qian Wubing was stunned: "Did the prince say it himself?"
"It doesn't seem to be that way. It just means that the child will have a different surname and we will still raise him, but..." Wu Yanran glanced at Sun Qian: "Eunuch Wang would rather be the son of you and Sun Qian!"
In this era, the concept of continuing the family line is very strong. When it comes to eunuchs, eunuchs are people who have been purified, that is, people whose bodies are not complete. Such people, in many clans, are dead.
You are not even qualified to enter the ancestral hall, or even be buried in the ancestral graves. It is useless to be buried in the ancestral graves. There will be no descendants to worship, and you will not even be able to enjoy the incense during the Qingming Festival.
Why are eunuchs so greedy for money, some even to the point of sexual intercourse? Some people say that these eunuchs have purified themselves and cannot be close to women. Of course, they can only have preferences in wealth. As the saying goes, wealth and sex do not separate families.
Really? In fact, few people think deeply about it. Even though eunuchs are so majestic when they are in power, no one has ever lost power in old age or has closed his eyes and stared.
Incense and even ancestral graves are not allowed. No one can imagine this.
Therefore, while you can make more money, you can make it as hard as you can, so that you will have someone to keep you close to you even when you are old. Using money to win over your relatives is the only choice. What they want
, it’s nothing more than having a place to live after death, so that you won’t become a lonely ghost.
Of course, it would be great if someone inherits the incense. However, the living person does not know what will happen after death. Whether the person who said he wanted to inherit the incense was being hypocritical or sincere is a bit of a gamble.
.
Seeing Qian Wubing's expressionless face, Wu Yanran hurriedly said: "Eunuch Wang is very kind to our Qian family. Whether it's you Wu Bing or Hu Chen, without Eunuch Wang, we wouldn't be here today, let alone
I've also asked Qian'er if you have any objections, and Qian'er agreed!"
"What are you thinking! Of course I have no objection! As you said, without the prince, where would I be today? It is normal to adopt a son to inherit the Wang family!" Qian Wubing smiled.
There was no expression on his face, not because he was unhappy, but because he thought that he had just planned to get Wang Yue to buy shares. Naturally, he couldn't be stingy about such a big deal. Even if Wang Yue wanted to take half or 60 to 70%, he would willingly accept it.
Well, it is certain that Wang Yue is kind to him. He is not an ungrateful person. However, don't forget that Wang Yue is not an old and useless eunuch now. He is still a big shot in guarding the party, and Qian Wubing relies on him the most.
of foreign aid.
But in the blink of an eye, he no longer has to worry about these shares, and Wang Yue may be more dedicated than him in this matter. A hundred years later, Wang Yue will inherit his son's incense. Isn't this the left hand and the right hand?
Something?
"I'll write him a reply when I get back!"
