Chapter 89: Extravagant greed and honest people are dishonest (please vote for me)
The tiger's head is different from ordinary people even with a small amount of effort. Under the orders of the old monk and Taoist idiot, it is rarely revealed in front of others. (See the latest update of this book.) However, at home, the family members are somewhat aware of it. They do not find out what is going on.
, I just think that Hutou is a stupid guy with stupid strength, so I don’t think there is anything strange about it.
However, when he thought of his eldest grandson's shortcomings, Wang Fuping immediately felt dizzy and hesitated: "The second young master has given me some advice, and I am very grateful. But the tiger head is not like an ordinary child. Will he let down the second young master's hard work?"
How can anyone come forward to join the palace? There are only two people from the huge Wang family who have entered the palace. Although their surname is Wang, they were given the surname by the master's family. The original surname has long been unknown, and even the descendants of the Wang family have
If you are not as good as any of your clan members, how can you be qualified to send your children to the palace?
The second young master just said that Hutou should be admitted to the government school. Seeing that, he did not have the status of accompaniment.
As Wang Fuping said this, he was wavering in his heart. Sometimes he felt that this was an opportunity. Regardless of whether Hutou could succeed in the end, as long as he made friends with Dao Chi and Wang Qi, it would be a good thing. Sometimes he thought that giving Hutou such a good opportunity would be a waste.
.Would it be better if the smart second grandson was introduced?
But looking at the lukewarm look on the Taoist idiot's face, Wang Fuping thought that the second young master didn't owe their family anything. The old monk's last mission was not to take care of their family, but when it came to the tiger head alone, it was not what they thought.
Just replace the tiger head.
He couldn't help feeling upset. Since his father's death, his relationship with Xishan Temple had become distant due to filial piety. Otherwise, if the old monk had left a message to take care of his family, even the clan would treat them more seriously.
.
Now it is too late to regret. He can only blame the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law for being short-sighted. The whole family expects a child without relying on such a good tree. How can the imperial examination be so cheap over there? How many families may not be able to produce a child even after generations of farming and studying?
Scholar.
Dao Chi said: "The crown prince's younger brother is ten years old this year. He is obsessed with martial arts and has no age-appropriate playmates in the mansion. I want to bring Hutou into the mansion just to keep him company."
Wang Fuping's wavering heart was suddenly settled. It turned out that the eldest grandson entered the palace to be a playmate for the prince's younger brother. In this way, his second grandson really had nothing to do with him.
Hutou has a good temper and is obedient, but his head is too stupid. If he follows him to learn literacy, I can't even imagine what will happen. If it is just a play among children, it will be fine.
I also thought that the prince had no biological brothers. This breast brother could even please the prince like the second son as his companion, so he obviously had a great status in the palace. Even if Hu Tou was just a playmate in the past, the benefits in the future would be indispensable.\\.com first release

Wang Fuping showed joy and said: "I'll ask the Second Young Master to take care of the tiger head from now on. I'll go talk to his parents."
Dao Chi thought for a while and said: "The village chief doesn't have to worry about Hu Tou's marriage. When Hu Tou gets bigger, I will ask my clan aunt to help Hu Tou become a matchmaker."
Wang Fuping opened his eyes wide in shock: "The second young master is talking about the aunt in the palace?"
This sentence was just an idiotic attempt to pull off a tiger's skin. He didn't want the village chief's family to have a little daughter-in-law who would be called Hutou's wife. He also didn't want Hutou's parents to come out and confront Hutou when he made a career in the future.
Talking about head matters.
The Taoist Chi nodded and said: "Of course it is her. After all, Hutou's surname is Wang, and it was me and Brother Qi who brought her into the house. I will naturally rely on my aunt from the tribe to take care of her from now on."
The Wang family does not want a tiger-headed servant, but they also want their descendants to study and become officials, and live for three or two generations, hiding their origins. When the time comes, they will hang under the head of a certain room in the Wang family and become a godmother. Who can ask for a closer look at them?
's origin.
Wang Fuping was naturally overjoyed to hear that Hui would be taking care of Mrs. Wang. They were said to be old servants of the Wang family, but in fact, except for the late old man who was a servant, everyone from the Wang Fuping brothers to the grandchildren below were all good people.
If the tiger's head really catches Mrs. Wang's eye, maybe their whole family will be respectable. They don't have to wait two or two lifetimes to find a house to hang out with.
After thinking about this, Wang Fuping wanted to pack the tiger's head immediately. Finally, he did not get carried away and said a few words of thanks to the second young master.
The Taoist Chi said his business and had no intention of staying. Wang Fuping looked at his plain clothes and felt guilty, so he swallowed the words of staying as a guest.
However, because he heard that Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang were also coming, Wang Fuping sent them out in person. He also asked his second son to pack a large suitcase of food and ordered his son to personally send them back to Xishan.
Hutou's father was also entertaining guests in the front yard and came out to meet Dao Chi and Hutou. Although he was hesitant to speak, he was glared at by Wang Fuping. It was Uncle Wang who really felt sorry for his nephew.
My son, I don’t know when I took the candy and filled several cloth pockets on the tiger’s head.
The tiger head had candy in its mouth, its cheeks were bulging, and its mouth was dripping with saliva, and it looked more and more silly.
Hutou's mother was accompanying guests in the west courtyard. I don't know if she knew what was going on here, but she didn't show up from the beginning to the end.
Hutou's brother, who was in his teens and dressed in brand new clothes, followed his father. He looked at Hutou with contempt and jealousy in his eyes, which made Wang Qi extremely angry.
Dao Chi left the suitcase behind, declined Uncle Wang's offer to send it off, and the four of them returned the same way.
Thinking of Hutou's second brother, Wang Qi said with annoyance: "Bullshit brother, what kind of look is that? He still has the nerve to be a child prodigy and doesn't know his filial piety. If I had such a brother, I would have to beat him eight times a day!"
"
After hearing what he said, Wang Sanlang looked at the tiger's head.
Hutou's face was full of tangles, and he was almost in tears.
Wang Sanlang was startled, and hurriedly pulled Wang Qi and said: "Brother Qi, please stop saying a few words."
Only then did Wang Qi realize that something was wrong with Hu Tou. She laughed twice, patted Hu Tou on the shoulder and said, "Hu Tou, don't feel bad. He doesn't treat you as a brother, so don't treat him as a younger brother either. From now on, my brother will protect you."
you!"
The Taoist idiot was beside him, laughing endlessly.
It's really like a chicken talking to a duck.
If a tiger head takes those things to heart, he is not a tiger head.
The tiger head seemed to have made great determination. He sniffed, held back the tears in his eyes, and stretched out his fist towards Wang Qi.
Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang didn't understand what he meant, so they stood down and looked at the tiger's head.
The tiger's fist slowly opened, and inside was a wet piece of pine nut candy half an inch in size.
The tangle on Hutou's face has faded away, leaving only the joy of sharing. He looked at Wang Qi and said, "Eat!"
Wang Qi's eyes widened: "Is this for me?"
The eyes of the tiger's head wanted to stick to the pine nut candy, and then they pulled open again, lowering their eyelids and nodding.
Wang Qi felt that her whole body was ironed and not dirty at all. She immediately took it and threw it in her mouth. She laughed and said, "The tiger head is really good. It knows who is good and who is bad!" As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the Taoist idiot.
Extremely proud.
Only then did Wang Sanlang realize that Hu Tou's confusion and discomfort just now were not at all because of his brother's supercilious look, but because of this piece of pine nut candy. He couldn't help but smile.
He wondered if Hu Tou would also give him a piece of candy, but Hu Tou looked at Wang Qi with a smile, but his hands were tightly covering his bag of candy, with no intention of taking any more candy.
Wang Sanlang didn't feel dissatisfied. During the past few days when he went up the mountain, he was with Dao Chi every day. He was not like Wang Qi who played with Hu Tou all day long. It was not surprising that Hu Tou valued Wang Qi more.
Wang Qi's pride did not last long.
When he returned to Xishan Temple, Wang Qi was miserable. Because Hu Tou took out all the candies and pushed them to the Taoist idiot. He only glanced at the pile of candies, but Hu Tou guarded him and stared at him.
He looked like he was a candy thief.
Dao Chi took a gauze bag, put all the candies in it, handed it to Hu Tou, and said: "Still three pills a day."
Hutou nodded with a smile and went out holding the candy bag.
Wang Qi saw something and said: "Erlang, you only eat sweets on the tiger's head?"
The Taoist idiot said: "Hutou has been addicted to sweets since he was a child. If he is not restricted, his teeth will rot long ago."
Wang Qi was a little downcast: "Tiger Head still listens to you."
Dao Chi smiled and said: "Although Hutou talks little, he understands in his heart that I am controlling him for his own good, so he is obedient. From now on, if Brother Qi treats Hutou well, he will naturally listen to Brother Qi."
Wang Qi thought about it, and immediately became proud again and said: "Speaking of which, my brother and Hu Tou are the most compatible, so we two brothers can play together. I'll go see where that guy hid the sugar bag!" After that, he got up and went out.
I took the tiger head.
Dao Chi and Wang Sanlang looked at each other and both smiled.
Although Wang Qi is also the eldest son, he has been doted on by his grandparents since he was a child, and he is more like a child. Although he calls himself an "elder brother" and regards Dao Chi and Sanlang as younger brothers in their daily interactions, in the eyes of these two little brothers, Wang Qi is more like
Brother, you need to be coaxed.
The tiger head was hidden, Wang Qi was looking for it, and the laughter of the two people could be heard from time to time in the yard.
Dao Chi and Wang Sanlang stopped joining in the fun and chatted about their daily routine. Dao Chi thought that he had troubled Wang Zhen too many times in the past year and was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to trouble him anymore about buying a shop, so he asked Rong Niang.
Rong Niang has already grown hair, and has promised to marry her two aunts and cousins in the capital. The wedding is scheduled for next year. Now she is at home, studying housework with Wang Yang.
Mentioning this, Wang Sanlang showed regret: "My sister and I made an agreement in the early years. If my sister marries to Beijing, I will take the imperial examination and come to Beijing to support my sister. That way, even if my father takes office abroad in the future, I will have my natal family to support my sister."
Call the shots.”
The Taoist idiot said: "I will take the imperial examination!"
Wang Sanlang looked grateful: "Erlang..."
Dao Chi shook his head and said: "Third brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not here for my eldest sister. This is my long-standing plan. I heard that the capital is prosperous and I want to see the world."
Wang Sanlang said happily: "No matter what Erlang is for, as long as he can come to Beijing, it is a good thing. Do you think you will stand by if my sister is really in trouble? With Erlang here, I feel relieved. Although my sister is very strong, she is still a woman. If I marry
When you go to other people's houses, you can still ask your uncles and aunts to make the decision when you feel wronged. But in my aunt's house, we are in-laws, so it's hard to talk to uncles and aunts."
The Taoist idiot said: "Third brother, does he know what kind of store my eldest sister uses as a dowry?"
Wang Sanlang shook his head and said embarrassedly: "I really don't know about this. But most of the shops my mother was married to were left to my eldest sister."
The Taoist Chi said: "Can you please help me, Third Brother, to ask my eldest sister which shop has a good future? My sister will leave the cabinet this autumn, and my future brother-in-law will study and start a career. I want to buy her a shop and increase her income..."
