Lunch at the Qian Mansion is very simple. After all, there are only a few people in this family who are qualified to sit at the table for dinner. There is no rule in the Wu family that men are not allowed to eat and women are not allowed to eat at the table. When it comes to the Qian family, this rule will naturally follow.
Came over.
Wu Dazhong, Qian Wubing, and the two sisters who still laughed and said something in a low voice even when the food was on the table. If Wu Huchen was on duty, there would be one more of him.
Wu Dazhong suddenly became rich from a poor man. At first, he had to be served by servants to get over the addiction of being a master. However, later Qian Wubing felt that he was staring at him while he was eating. It was really awkward and he couldn't care less.
Wu Dazhong complained and directly rejected Wu Dazhong's rules, so now there were only four of them at the dinner table.
No one mentioned the previous embarrassment, but Wu Dazhong didn't understand and enthusiastically asked Sun Qian to eat more meat and vegetables, which made Wu Yanran glare at her father and keep complaining that her father was partial.
"Wu Bing, Sister Qian and I are also going to learn painting with Mr. Tang. Do you think it's good? I heard that Mr. Tang can sell a painting for dozens of taels of silver. This is also a craft.
If my family has no money in the future, I can still make money by painting to supplement the family income!"
Qian Wubing was putting a sip of wine into his mouth when he choked himself with a "pop" sound: "No, I have to learn to draw. You just follow Girl Qian to learn. I have to wait until you draw."
If I have to sell money to support my family, I should find a piece of tofu and kill me!"
Sun Qian's face turned slightly red. In Wu Yanran's eyes, Mr. Tang was capable and could paint well. However, she learned painting from Mr. Tang, but she knew very well that she
The little things she learned were not even close to Mr. Tang's. She followed her own example and painted a phoenix as a grass chicken. She didn't find it strange at all.
"The house is so big. I said don't use so many servants, but my father refused. He said that since you are a hundred households, you must have the dignity of a hundred households. With so many servants, the daily expenses are as smooth as water.
When the flowers went out, Dad felt sorry for me again. He didn’t say it in front of you, but he nagged me many times!”
Wu Yanran was slightly embarrassed when she saw Qian Wubing's surprised look. She also felt that her idea was a bit unreliable and not enough. She was just idle at home. She used to be able to do some housework at home, but now her family is so
If there were more people, she would have nothing to do all of a sudden. If Sun Qian hadn't run so diligently, she wouldn't even have friends to talk to.
"If you are worried about money, you don't have to worry about this." Qian Wubing felt a little distressed when he saw Wu Yanran looking depressed, "If you have nothing to do every day, it's good to go out for a walk.
Sitting at home all day long, getting sick even when you are not sick, it is useless for us military families to learn what those scholars do!"
He turned sideways to Sun Qian: "Girl Qian, you should have visited most of Nanjing these days. I asked Zhang Erlang. Before Yanran came here, you came here like crazy. Mr. Tang was not here this afternoon.
, after dinner, I took Yanran for a walk around without disturbing your business!"
After thinking about it, Qian Wubing felt a little uneasy: "Bring two more people with you, that guy Zhang Erlang is a bit unreliable. Otherwise, I'll find two people to follow you!"
"No, my uncle has sent people to follow me. Although I can't see it, but what happened last time, my uncle has been sending people to protect me. Don't worry, I will take your wife out, and I guarantee that I won't suffer any loss!" Sun
Qian's face returned to normal and she said carelessly.
"That's good. If my Yanran is lost by you, I want you to be the only one to ask questions!" As soon as the words came out, Qian Wubing suddenly felt that something was wrong. The words were somewhat ambiguous, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
, stuffed his mouth with the rice in the bowl.
Sun Qian's eyes wandered and she glanced at Qian Wubing. Apparently, she was the first to hear the ambiguity that even the Wu family and his daughter didn't catch.
...
After the meal, the two girls went out joking all the way. A stone in Qian Wubing's heart was finally relieved. During the meal, he was afraid that Wu Yanran would mention the little embarrassment from before. He was still talking to his father-in-law yesterday.
He was discussing his wedding date, and then the next day he hugged another woman in front of his fiancée. Although it wasn't really like that, when he said it, it always seemed a bit ridiculous.
"I checked the almanac. The ninth day of the lunar month in winter is an auspicious day for marriage. If you miss this day, you will have to wait until next year!" Taking the strong tea handed over by his servants, Wu Dazhong took a sip with satisfaction:
"Let's organize the happy event before the year!"
"So urgent?" Qian Wubing frowned. It's not that he didn't want to marry Wu Yanran as soon as possible and then sleep together legally. It's just that this woman's marriage was a lifelong event, and he didn't want his wedding to be cold.
Deserted.
He has just established himself here not long ago and has almost no friends except Liu Zigu. As for his colleagues, if he gets married, people from his own household will probably come to congratulate him, and those few acquaintances from other households will probably hand over the post.
, they also prevaricate. As for this neighbor, he doesn’t even know the name of the owner of the shop where he used to eat porridge every day. He still sees him every day. As for the fact that he hasn’t met, who knows who he is!
"This thing must have the flavor of a happy event. If this happy event is done in a deserted manner, it would be too unfair for Yanran. Otherwise, let's talk about it after spring!" Qian Wubing thought for a while.
"Huh, can you wait? Can Yanran wait?" Wu Dazhong glared at Qian Wubing angrily. For several mornings, he saw Qian Wubing sneaking out of his daughter's room. He really thought he was blind.
What.
"I think it should be worth the wait!" Qian Wubing's face turned slightly red. Even after the new year, it would only be three or four months. Even if Yanran was pregnant, it wouldn't be obvious.
"Then it's up to you! Anyway, if this thing is really a joke, your face will be disgraced, but you, Mr. Qian!" Wu Dazhong is a little bit weird. This is roughly the experience of every father who loves his daughter. It's like
It was as if my most precious thing had been stolen by this guy in front of me.
"However, this marriage can be postponed. I'm afraid I can't postpone the matter I told you last time. This matter is very important. If it's late, I'm afraid something will change!"
"That incident in Datong, Shanxi?" Wu Dazhong put down his teacup, "Is it important?"
"This is news from our Jin Yiwei. The missing daughter of the Liu family may be closely related to a noble man. However, no one knows about this relationship at the moment. You have often heard about books. Have you heard the story of Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei?
, I am a businessman. Just because of this clever favor, when the nobleman was not yet prosperous, he became rich and powerful, and became a very popular minister. Now I have such a good opportunity, if I don’t seize it, I will wait until the Liu family
If my daughter gets rich and tries to please her, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal anymore!"
"That noble person is very important?" Wu Dazhong only found out the specific reason for this today, and sighed in his heart, no wonder his son-in-law is so tight-lipped. If others find out, it will naturally be of no benefit to his family, especially Liu.
The family also needs to be kept in the dark, but don't let people think that Qian Wubing has other motives for befriending them.
"It's very valuable!" Qian Wubing nodded, "I originally planned to ask you to go there, thinking that I would not be able to get away before this year, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will have some free time before this year, and it happens that the Liu family has approved
The goods are going there these days, so I might as well go there by myself!"
"Who will take care of things in the health center?" Wu Dazhong was obviously worried that Qian Wubing had finally managed to win over people's hearts and opened up a situation where if he went there for a few months, he might be put on the bench when he came back.
Left to dry.
"Let Huchen watch it. As long as the prince is still in Nanjing, I don't think anyone will be so blind as to block my future. It just so happens that Huchen can learn more and gain experience. You should also watch your own son."
Tighter!"
"If you ask for leave, someone will still take advantage of you. It's wrong!" Wu Dazhong didn't support him. He had seen too many cases where he lost his seat once he came back after leaving his own territory.
This kind of thing is related to authority and interests, and it can be done at will.
"The reason has been found. Aren't there some inexplicable people under my command now? I sent them to Luan Tongzhi to help collect the tax money. Therefore, I also have some responsibility for the tax money matter.
Responsibilities, Mr. Luan, I have also said hello. There are several shops whose accounts are not clear, which makes the household department feel strange. It is natural for the Jinyi guards to check them. I will go out and check them.
Check where the goods come in and out. This is my responsibility. With this excuse, no one will think that I have gone to do other things!"
"Just worry about it yourself!" Wu Dazhong looked at Qian Wubing and was slightly relieved. His eyes were sharp, his methods were bold, and his thoughts were meticulous. He thought of everything that should be thought of. His son-in-law is worse than his two biological sons. I don't know how much stronger I have to be. Even when I was Qian Wubing's age, I was afraid that I would be far inferior to him.
"You don't have to worry about things at home, but before you go, you'd better take me to see the prince. If anything happens, it might come in handy!"
"No need!" Qian Wubing shook his head, "If anything really happens, you can just tell Sun Qian. If you go to see the prince, it will be too loyal to prevent anyone from making random guesses!"
"That's fine!" Wu Dazhong was slightly regretful, but he knew that even if he met the Wang Eunuch, he probably wouldn't have much to say. He was a guard eunuch, so he was nothing. Even if he was rich and not sick, he wouldn't be able to meet him just because he wanted to.
To be able to meet people like that.
"When are you going to tell Yanran? Don't try to keep this girl in the dark. If she won't let you go, I won't be able to change her into a living person!"
"I'll talk to Yanran when he comes back tonight. Yanran knows the truth. How can you talk about your daughter like a shrew!" Qian Wubing curled his lips and walked out: "I'll go out for a walk too.
