Chapter 71 Wang Shuyi goes to Jia Mansion
In Prince Teng's palace, Wang Shuyi heard the conversation between her clan brother and her father. She couldn't believe that her always kind father turned out to be such a person.
The honest brother is also such a stranger. The clan sister Wang Xifeng is living a good life. Did his two aunts ever complain about their father for sacrificing them like this for the Wang family? What about me?
But only now did Wang Ren realize that the so-called dandies from the Xungui family were all relative, and no one knew whether they were just pretending or not.
"Here, what does uncle mean when he asks me to find out when I join the army?"
Wang Ziteng wrote a warrant on the desk in front of him and handed it to Wang Ren.
"I just want you to go to the capital camp, report with Jia Lian, and be appointed as an infantry lieutenant to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses. Start from scratch. It's up to you how far you can go."
Wang Ren was very excited after hearing this, and finally got what he wanted. Wang Ziteng saw him and reminded him like this;
"When you get there, talk less, watch more, and learn more. It's not the mouth that leads the troops, but the brain. Be careful with Jia Lian."
"Uh, yes, uncle."
"Very well, Shuyi, do you have anything you want to ask?"
Wang Ziteng has long been aware that his daughter is unconscious, and knows that after listening to so many words, she must be blaming him as a father, but I can't keep it from you now.
Wang Shuyi couldn't believe it all after listening to the conversation between her cousin and her father, but when she thought about it carefully, what she said was all the truth. But as for herself, when her father asked the question, she simply said it;
"Father, everything you said is right, but I want to know how you can arrange for me to continue our marriage?"
Seeing his daughter's stubborn look, Wang Ziteng felt heartbroken.
"As a father, I tell you the truth. I had this idea before, but as a father, I have not done anything in these years. I have always thought it was a pity that I was alone and couldn't bear to leave. So it's up to you."
Wang Shuyi's eyes turned red after hearing this. She knew that it was not easy for her father, but she still asked;
"Father, can I ask who you are considering marrying?"
Wang Ziteng looked up at his daughter, understood what he meant, and answered with a smile;
"There is no one else. It is the tiger I just mentioned, Luoyun Marquis Zhang Jinyu, the son of your distant aunt Wang Shihan. Although we are related to each other, we have already been on the fifth server."
"It's him. Didn't you just say that he had alien intentions?"
Wang Shuyi couldn't believe that just now her uncle and nephew were thinking about how to deal with her, and now they wanted to marry her daughter off.
"That's when I look at him from the perspective of the court. I look at him from the perspective of you and the Wang family. Naturally, I look at him differently. If you marry him, what do you think the Wang family will do?"
Wang Ren thought about it and realized that crisis and opportunity coexisted, which was unimaginable at that time.
"Uncle, either he will be dismissed from office and never be used again, or even better, the royal family will put more emphasis on the Wang family."
"Yes, this is a risky move, and I don't dare to make it. So I haven't mentioned it to Shuyi for a long time, but now that I've talked about it today, I brought it up. Of course, it's all being laid out now, and it's just begun.
The tiger is also a cub, and the Wang family is still struggling and must be careful at every step. Whether the border troops had it easy or not, it's the same."
Wang Shuyi felt very sad when she saw her father's aging face. It turned out that her father who wanted to be strong still had this side.
"My daughter understands, dare to ask father, who did you value before Zhang Jinyu, Marquis of Luoyun, appeared?"
"There is one, Kang Mengyu, the son of Marquis Baoning."
"Uncle, my nephew has never heard of Marquis Baoning."
Wang Ren asked as soon as he heard that it was Mr. Hou but the name was too unfamiliar.
"Of course you haven't heard of it. His father Kang Guichen, Marquis of Baoning, is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army has its own system. The nobles of the Forbidden Army are different from us. They basically don't interact with each other. They stick to the one-third of an acre of the Forbidden Army and our Beijing camp.
They do not interfere with each other, so they are basically invisible from the outside."
"I know what to do, Father."
After Wang Shuyi understood everything, she replied with a confident smile that looked a little charming.
"Father, I want to visit Jia's mansion."
After hearing this, Wang Ziteng thought for a while, should he go now? The old lady of the Jia family was the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Jia family, or maybe his sister.
Wang Ren saw that his uncle was hesitant and couldn't figure out the purpose of his cousin's trip, but he couldn't bear to let his sister down, so he helped him.
"How about uncle, I will accompany my sister to visit Jia's house."
Wang Ziteng was not in a hurry to reply, and was still making repeated plans. What did the Jia family mean this time, whether they were testing or preparing to leave a way out.
Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to let the two of them go and visit them with his name card. He looked at the two of them and nodded;
"It's okay to go and have a look. The Jia family is a wealthy family. Wang Ren, you should also go with us. Take more care of Shuyi and be more careful."
Wang Ren still didn't understand his uncle's intention, so he nodded vigorously.
Wang Ziteng waved his hand to indicate that he could go, and Wang Ren and Wang Shuyi left the study together. After closing the door, they did not go back to change clothes. They directly took some gifts from the warehouse, asked the butler to prepare the carriages, horses and guards, and set off.
Wang Shuyi sat quietly in the carriage, and Wang Ren followed the carriage on horseback with his guards. The capital was not peaceful now, so it was better to be careful. There were obviously fewer passers-by on the streets.
However, there were many more officers and soldiers patrolling, especially the people from the Imperial City Division and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division who were searching house to house, which was causing quite a fuss, but it was undeniable that seeing them made them feel more at ease.
Wang Ziteng's residence is in Nancheng. After walking a long distance to reach Ningrong Street in Dongcheng, the whole street belongs to the Jia family's east and west mansions. How heroic.
Wang Shuyi also visited the house for the first time. She was obviously shocked by the luxury of the Duke's Mansion. Her family was considered a wealthy and aristocratic family, but compared with the Jia family, not to mention other things, this gate alone was incomparable.
The towering gatehouse has two auspicious animal totems inlaid on the vermilion door. The huge stone lion made of white marble at the door looks so majestic and domineering.
The door walls on both sides of the gate are also made of fine bluestone, which is majestic and solemn. There are many old servants and young men at the door. At first glance, it looks like a large gate of a large family. Of course, the threshold under the feet is still as high.
The carriage stopped at the door. Wang Ren dismounted first and came to the concierge to hand over the name card. The porter did not dare to neglect it. The carriage with the escort was obviously from a high-ranking family. When he opened the name card, he saw Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing Camp, who was frightened.
The concierge quickly opened the front door.
When Wang Shuyi saw the main door open, she got off the carriage and walked in with her maids and guards. Her breath was calm and generous. Wang Shuyi knew that she was here on behalf of the prince of the Wang family. At this moment, Wang Shuyi understood that the relationship between her father and her brother
These words explain the current attitude of the Jia family.
After seeing his sister go in first, Wang Ren followed with his followers, and the concierge shouted to the house;
"The legitimate daughter of the Wang family, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, came to visit."
There were boys inside who had already gone to Rongxi Hall to inform the old lady.
Wang Shuyi did not rush inside, but walked slowly with the help of the maid to take a look at the style of the Duke's Mansion.
The first thing that catches the eye is the huge courtyard in which all kinds of flowers and plants are blooming. Then there are the magnificent courtyards everywhere, especially the red and yellow hall in the middle. The majestic and imposing houses are obviously higher than the houses in the courtyard. It seems that this is a glorious place.
The Hall of Fame of the National Government.
At this time, Jia Mu, who was joking with Sanchun in Rongxi Hall, heard the news from the servant that Wang Ziteng's daughter came to visit, which was a bit unexpected.
However, when the in-laws entered the house with their name cards, they had to be treated with courtesy, so they quickly ordered Yuanyang to take them to Rongxi Hall. At the same time, they sent someone to notify the second wife and Wang Xifeng, and asked the servant to notify the kitchen to prepare for the banquet.
Yuanyang followed the order and headed towards the front with two maids. As soon as he walked to the yard outside Rongxi Hall, he saw a tall man with a beautiful face, fair skin and a unique temperament.
The distinguished lady was strolling there to admire the courtyard, and Yuanyang hurriedly greeted her and said a long blessing.
"I've seen Miss Wang's family. My maid Yuanyang came to greet Miss Wang at the request of the old lady."
Wang Shuyi had seen her a long time ago. Her appearance was a trademark, and her manners were generous. She didn't expect that she was a maid. She thought she was a young lady from some hospital. When she heard her greetings, Wang Shuyi nodded.
"I know, let's lead the way."
"Yes, miss."
Yuanyang took Wang Shuyi and walked towards Rongxi Hall.
The second grandma, Wang Xifeng, was also surprised when she heard the boy said that her sister came to Rongguo Mansion. This girl is famous for not liking the excitement. What is the situation? I heard that she still came to the door with her uncle's name card. Could it be that her uncle had something to do with her?
Important things to say.
No, I'll go take a look.
