After leaving the main hall, Wang Sanlang always carried Taoist idiots with him. The two brothers were inseparable from Meng, and Meng was inseparable from Jiao.
Dao Chi thought about his grandmother's instructions yesterday, so he did not refuse the drama of brothers and sisters. These two handsome and handsome brothers have lost the attention of many people in the tribe.
Earlier, there were gossips about the Twelve Fangs, and they were gloating about the misfortune behind their backs, but now they are a little unsure about the situation.
Wang Qi followed the two brothers, looking at the scene of brotherly friendship, touching his nose, feeling sour in his heart, and felt it was an eyesore. He couldn't tell for a moment whether he should blame the Taoist idiot for taking Sanlang away, or whether he should blame Sanlang.
He snatched away the Taoist idiot.
After all, he had only been in contact with Saburo for more than half a month, and only spent a few hours in Zongxue every day; but he and Dao Chi lived and ate together for almost a month. Now he can't explain clearly, what is the relationship between these two clans?
Brother, which one is closer?
It's just that he is usually willful and willful, but he also knows the importance of it. Both Saburo and Dao Chi are restrained in nature and don't like to show off in front of others. Now they dare to act like monkeys and stage a "sibling love" drama in front of their relatives, which is helpless.
This move was just to deal with the rumors from the past few days.
The twelfth house returned to its hometown with its family before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was the first time to entertain guests with wine. Not only the prominent members of the clan came, but also the down-and-out people who had not received the message came shamelessly to eat and drink.
All in all, it was very lively.
Although it was the first time for Taoist Chi to see most of them, there were a few familiar faces, such as the Fifth, Eleventh and Tenth Grandpas whom he had met in the ancestral hall when he was born.
The Fifth Grandpa and the Eleventh Grandpa were not as serious as they were when they were middlemen in the ancestral hall. They looked very kind, and they were especially kind to Sanlang. However, when they turned to face the Taoist Chi, their smiles were somewhat dull.
To them, what does it matter if the two men in front of them are brothers from the same father? The clan leaders have praised Saburo for his intelligence, and his mother's clan is in the capital, so he has a bright future; the Taoist idiot has already succeeded his wife to nine families, and even if he endures the imperial examination, he will not be able to succeed.
Judging people is the end. The outer nine houses really do not have the feng shui of the Jinshi master. The imperial examinations of three generations of ancestors and grandsons did not have the fortune and destiny.
The tenth prince stared hard at the silk clothes on Dao Chi's body, and said in a strange tone: "It seems that the outer nine houses are not what they used to be. They are really rich." There was no trace of greed on his face.
Dao Chi looked at the Tenth Master with cold eyes.
Although Wang Ning didn't say anything when he returned home this time, Uncle Yan told him in private that the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the tenth room had been running out to the ninth room a few days ago, just to find out about the twelfth room's subsidy.
How much money? In his words, he mentioned several granddaughters of Shifang, who wanted to marry the Taoist idiot.
The tenth house master was greedy for money, and none of his daughters married well. In order to obtain high betrothal gifts, they either married blind men, lame men, or married people to fill houses. Even if Wang Ning was crazy, she would not marry her family.
.Because of their entanglement, Wang Ning almost fell out with them, and he almost fell ill from their anger, so Shi Fang was able to live peacefully.
The Taoist idiots had little impression of Shifang. Even if they heard that they had peeked at Waijiufang's property, they didn't take it seriously. After all, in the early years, they were worried about Waijiufang because Waijiufang had lost their heirs;
As Fang's greed continued, Dao Chi became impatient.
It's just that he is studying in the government, and he can't take care of his family for a while. Wang Ning has a temperament that doesn't like to trouble others. As long as the noisy in the outer tenth room is not too much, it is probably because of himself. But who knows where the outer tenth room is?
Will it make you lose your wits and make you jump over the wall in a hurry?
Thinking of this, Dao Chi was still a little worried, so he said hello to Sanlang and went over to talk to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen is no longer next to Wang Qinghong, but is standing with a middle-aged man in bright clothes.
Seeing Dao Chi approaching, Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Erlang is here to find me?"
Dao Chi nodded and said, "I have a few words to say to Brother Zhen."
If it were other people, they would probably leave and leave a place for these two people to talk, but the middle-aged man stood there steadily and looked at Dao Chi with a smile. Even when facing Wang Zhen, he just acted politely.
Pretending to be an elder, without the respect that ordinary clan members have for the eldest grandson of the clan, he said casually: "Eldest nephew, which clan is this junior from?"
Wang Zhen said: "Uncle Han, this is Erlang from the ninth room outside." After that, he said to Dao Chi: "Erlang, this is Uncle Han from the third room."
The Taoist Chi knew that this was Wang Qinghan, a wealthy family member nicknamed "Wang Wanwan".
Dao Chi met the greetings according to the rules. Wang Qinghan smiled and took out half a handful of golden melon seeds from his sleeve and stuffed them into Dao Chi's hands: "This is the first time I meet Erlang. As an uncle, I don't have anything that can be used as a greeting gift. I only have this. Take this."
Go buy some snacks."
These golden melon seeds are heavy, each one weighs as much as one penny, and half a handful contains two or three taels of gold.
Just as Dao Chi was about to return it, Wang Qinghan had already left laughing.
Dao Chi looked at the golden melon seeds in his hand and couldn't help but frown, and then heard Wang Zhen say: "Since it's for you, just take it. Uncle Han has this temper. Whether he is a junior in the clan or a junior from aristocratic families outside, he always
Use this as a greeting gift. In his eyes, there is no difference between half a handful of golden melon seeds and half a handful of copper coins."
The Taoist idiot was not pedantic either. He nodded and stuffed the golden melon seeds into his purse. He accepted the small windfall with peace of mind and then mentioned to Wang Zhen the matter of the outer tenth house and the outer ninth house.
Wang Zhen frowned when she heard this and said: "If I tell you about the granddaughter of the tenth house, they would really dare to think about it. There is no decent family among the tenth house. Tell your subordinates that if the tenth house comes to harass you again,
Then come to the clan house to look for me. As long as I am here, I will not let them act arrogantly. You can just study in peace in the palace."
This time when Wang Qi came back, Mrs. Wang once asked about things in the mansion school. In addition to how Wang Qi was doing, he also asked emphatically about Dao Chi's performance in the mansion school.
Hearing that he had made a good deal with the prince's brother-in-law, he also stayed up all night studying to prepare for next year's exam. Mrs. Wang was filled with admiration. At the same time, Wang Zhen also paid more and more attention to this younger brother and wanted to see where he could go.
step.
With Wang Zhen's words, Dao Chi had nothing to worry about and casually asked about the third bedroom Wang Qinghan.
When Wang Zhen talked about Wang Qinghan, she still had a smile on her face, but the tone behind her words was a bit strange. Dao Chi drooped his eyelids. It seemed that the relationship between Wang Qinghan and the clan was indeed somewhat subtle, but he didn't know if Wang Yang would know it.
You will find this.
At this moment, Wang Qi was seen coming, walked up to Wang Zhen, and said: "Brother, Aunt Hong asked me to invite eldest brother over."
Wang Zhen asked doubtfully: "Where to go?"
"Sanlang's courtyard, I just called Sanlang over, and now I'm looking for my brother. Maybe there's something wrong." Wang Qi replied.
Although Wang Zhen was full of doubts, she thought that since Saburo was here, there was nothing to avoid, so she nodded to the Taoist Chi and followed Wang Qi over.
Looking at the backs of Wang Zhen and Wang Qi, Dao Chi raised his eyebrows. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. Did Wang Yang's search for Wang Zhen come up with a way to deal with Wang Qinghan?
For a moment, both Sanlang and Wang Qi were not there, and Dao Chi felt a little bored, so he found a deserted corner to be quiet.
Unexpectedly, someone was already there in the corner, an acquaintance. Lu Wenzhao was holding a book in his hand, leaning against the wall, his eyes wandering.
Dao Chi thought about what Wang Qi said about "supervising Lu" and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Lu Wenzhao had already noticed that someone was coming. When he saw Dao Chi, he widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
It was rare for this kid to have such a lively expression besides arrogance on his face. Dao Chi smiled and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
"You, you, shouldn't you be studying behind closed doors?" As expected, he was a single-minded guy who didn't think about the complicated relationships between heirs and heirs.
The Taoist idiot said: "Read when you should study and play when you should play. This is the right way."
When Lu Wenzhao heard this, he grabbed the scroll with all his strength, his fingers were blue and white, and he shouted angrily: "That's a lie! Work is better than hard work, but play is waste. I don't have enough time to study, so I don't have time to play!"
It seems that this copycat nerd is not born, but is forced out by parents who "hope that their children will succeed."
Dao Chi didn't want to be the "big brother" to solve the problem, so he didn't argue with Lu Wenzhao. He took out the book from Lu Wenzhao's hand and took advantage of his free time to read a few pages to consolidate his lessons.
Seeing the Taoist idiot flipping the pages of the book, Lu Wenzhao had a complicated look on his face. He couldn't tell whether it was envy or jealousy. He hesitated for a while and said, "Does Wang Sanlang also play besides reading? Then someone scolds him? He
How did he read the book? Why does everyone praise him? I heard that he will take the boy's examination next year, and everyone says that he is the second uncle Qinghong. Not only can he be captured in the boy's test, but the criminal can't escape either."
The Taoist idiot listened with a smile at first, but when he heard something later, he felt something was wrong. What does it mean that "a boy can catch him even if he tries his hand"? What does "the head of the case cannot escape". Who is this "everyone"?
Although the boy's examination is only the first level of the imperial examination, it has to go through three tests: the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination. There are many changes in it. Even a long-time scholar cannot guarantee that he will pass all three tests after the test.
If Wang Sanlang was delayed by something else during the few months he was taking the exam, or if he successfully took the exam but lost his case, it would be impossible.
The person who spread these words had ulterior motives. Even if these words did not directly slander Saburo, anyone who heard them would think that Saburo was arrogant, young and frivolous.
This person who spreads the message is suspected of "praising and killing". If Sanlang is on the list, everyone will take it for granted; if Sanlang has the slightest setback, he will be regarded as a person who has "wasted his fame".
It is probably Wang Qinghansheng's trouble again. It seems that he has identified the Twelve Houses, and he is going to mess up the Twelve Houses at any cost, making it easier for his own family to get involved...
