"uncle!"

As soon as Wang Zhong entered the door, he saw Mrs. Li coming up to her with an anxious look on her face, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I was delayed at Sheng's house yesterday, so I didn't come back." Knowing that Li was worried about him, Wang Zhong explained with a smile.

But Li still looked around Wang Zhong up and down, left and right, and made sure there was no problem before he felt relieved.

"It'll be fine if nothing happens, it'll be fine if nothing happens!" Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart dropped.

"Tongpan Mansion is not a tiger's den. Besides, Sheng Tongpan has a reputation as a virtuous man. My sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this."

"Uncle, forgive me!" Mrs. Li hurriedly explained that Wang Zhong was not at home last night, and only a stranger came to report the news. If Old Yu hadn't seen that person, he would remember that it was Master Shanda who invited Wang Zhong to the city.

With his entourage, Mrs. Li was afraid that she would not be able to sleep all night.

Even in the first few years when Wang Zhong went out to do business, as Wang Erxi ran around, running up and down the country, Li was worried, but she had never been so out of control.

"Sister-in-law is caring about me, but it's not too late for me to be happy!" Wang Zhong's eyes, as bright as stars, stared at Li's beautiful eyes, with a knowing smile on his brave and resolute face.

Looking at her now tall, tall, heroic and majestic brother-in-law, facing the burning gaze, Li felt like a deer bumping around in her heart. Even though she was no longer the inexperienced little girl, she still endured it.

Some of my cheeks couldn't help feeling slightly hot.

Li felt even more ashamed of the thoughts that arose in her heart, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Wang Zhong.

"Since my uncle is fine, I am relieved!"

······

In the evening, after dinner, Wang Zhong practiced swordsmanship and spearmanship in the courtyard for more than an hour, then took a shower, changed clothes, and went into the study.

Mrs. Li had just put her daughter to sleep. On a whim, she asked the old Aunt Yutou who was waiting next to her: "Is uncle asleep?"

Lao Yutou's wife replied: "When I passed by just now, I saw that the light in the study was still on!"

Mrs. Li nodded, and ordered Lao Yutou's wife to go into the cellar to get some ice, put the mung bean soup that she prepares every day at home into the ice box, then scrape off the smoothie with her own hands and mix it into the mung bean soup.

Carrying the food box, he came to the side courtyard and knocked on the study door.

"Enter!"

Wang Zhong's voice came from the study room. Mrs. Li pushed open the door and walked straight to the round table with the food box. Seeing Wang Zhong sitting in front of the desk, reading with an oil lamp and a book in hand, she scooped up some

After cooling the mung bean smoothie for a while, he said: "The candlelight is dim, and uncle was careful to hurt his eyes."

When Wang Chong saw that it was Mrs. Li, he put down the book in his hand, smiled and said: "It turns out it's my sister-in-law. It doesn't matter, I know it well!"

"The weather is hot, I made some mung bean smoothie, uncle, can you try it?"

"Sorry for bothering you, sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong took the mung bean smoothie brought by Mrs. Li and said softly with a smile.

This mung bean smoothie was made by Wang Zhongjiao and Li. Eating a bowl of it during the scorching summer heat will relieve fatigue and relieve the heat, but the effect is not too good.

Seeing Wang Chong reading at night without letting go of the scroll, she couldn't help but think of her husband who was addicted to gambling, lost both herself and her daughter, and even lost her life. Suddenly, Mrs. Li felt a little sad and a little sad.

A different kind of mood.

I wonder which girl in the future will be able to see her uncle in person.

The autumn tiger has not yet dispersed, and the weather is indeed a bit hot, but it is not bad at night. The autumn wind is gentle and cool, but eating a bowl of mung bean smoothie can cool down the fire and refresh the heart and spleen.

"Sister Qian, are you asleep?" Wang Zhong's words woke Li up from her trance.

"Just went to bed!"

Mrs. Li looked at Wang Zhong and caught a glimpse of the books on the table. She couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "I know that my uncle wants to obtain fame, but he must also pay attention to his own health."

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong raised his head and poured a bowl of mung bean smoothie into his mouth. A cold and refreshing feeling came from the inside out, and it was very transparent. He handed the bowl to Mrs. Li and said, "How about another bowl?"

"

Mrs. Li took the bowl, walked back to the table, and scooped out another bowl.

This time Wang Zhong no longer ate in large gulps, but slowly tasted spoonful after spoonful. Seeing that Mrs. Li was only looking at him, he asked: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to eat it?"

Li Shi also scooped out a bowl for herself and ate it with Wang Zhong.

"In recent years, my uncle has been traveling here and there, doing business and buying properties, and studying to prepare for exams. Now that he has achieved the title of scholar, and his family business is quite prosperous, it's time for him to rest for a few days!"

What Li said was sincere and there was no falsehood at all. In the past few years, it was all thanks to Wang Zhong running around alone that the situation in the family was what it is today.

"Life is like a journey against the odds. If you don't advance, you will retreat!" Wang Zhong said with emotion: "What people fear most in this life is comfort! I'm afraid that once I enjoy comfort, I won't want to work hard anymore."

Wang Zhong's words are half true and half false, but the fact is exactly like what the young man who went to the border alone said to Long Wenwen in "My Captain, My Regiment".

No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, people can always come up with various ways to overcome it. For the sake of the righteousness in their hearts, they are willing to risk their lives. However, a single comfort has caused countless people to retreat step by step.

When Li heard the words, she couldn't help but be stunned. Although she didn't quite understand what she heard, looking at Wang Zhong with a sigh on his face, for some reason, countless sorrows suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Uncle..." Li wanted to persuade her again, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say. She just looked at Wang Zhong, thinking about Wang Zhong's age, and felt more and more sorry for this brother-in-law.

.

Wang Zhong changed his tone and said: "In a few days, the uncle from the Sheng family who came yesterday will probably come back. The sugar workshop will speed up the progress."

"Uncle, don't worry. This matter has been discussed with the clan elders today. The work will start in the afternoon and will be completed in a few days."

Wang Zhong warned: "Although we are working with the village to run the sugar workshop, the most critical steps can only be controlled by you and me for the time being. My sister-in-law needs to remember this."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sister-in-law has to keep an eye on Wangjiang Tower and try to get started as soon as possible." Wang Zhong originally didn't want to open such a big stall and only raise pigs and build a restaurant.

Establish an ecological chain of agricultural products, and by the way bring the economy of Baishui Village up, wait until you are admitted to Jinshi.

But who would have thought that Sheng Wei would suddenly visit. Although the plan could not keep up with the changes, it would not be impossible with a little adjustment, but Li's ability was still not enough.

Mrs. Li also felt a lot of pressure. Originally, Mrs. Li couldn't take care of the property in the village. Now there is another Wangjiang Tower, which makes Mrs. Li very anxious. Fortunately, Mrs. Li also knows that Wang Zhong is doing this for

She and her daughter thought about it and have been studying hard. However, this thing cannot be mastered in a short time. It has been half a year since Wangjiang Tower opened, and Li has not yet met Wang Zhong's requirements.

In fact, Mr. Li is not particularly slow in learning management, but due to his temperament, he is not decisive enough. However, it is enough to only run Wangjiang Tower and Zhuangzi, but if the business is to become bigger, it is still a bit behind.

Moreover, Li's educational level is a bit low. Recently, she has been taking her daughter with Wang Zhong every morning to make up for her misfortunes, but she is still far behind Wang Zhong's requirements.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Li took her daughter and followed Wang Zhong in the study to read and learn arithmetic.

"One to one makes one, one to two makes two, one to three makes three..." Although Wang Qian'er is only over four years old, she is quite smart. Although she has not yet memorized "Hundred Family Surnames" in full, she has learned nine of them.

The nine multiplication tables are already memorized by heart.

After checking the mother and daughter's homework, Wang Jian, who was holding a ruler, nodded and said: "Yes, Sister Qian memorized very well. You can have an extra bowl of ice cream today!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Although she was extremely happy, the little girl still resisted the urge to jump up and dance, and thanked Wang Zhong first.

"Remember, don't be proud!"

"yes!"

"Today we will talk about "The Thousand Character Essay"..."

The little girl likes to listen to Wang Zhong's lectures very much, because in addition to reading, she can also listen to Wang Zhong's stories. Now every morning, Li doesn't have to ask the girl to get up. The little girl gets up spontaneously and drags Li to the study to find her.

Wang Zhong is very proactive in his studies.

Two days later, someone from the Sheng family came, not only bringing gifts, but also a post from Sheng Hong. In the post, Sheng Hong invited Wang Zhong to a banquet and a boat trip on the lake. Many scholars and scholars were also present. Everyone gathered together.

Let's go to the lake, enjoy the scenery, and discuss knowledge together. It can be regarded as a small cultural gathering.

Two days later, Wang Zhong happily went to the banquet by car. When he arrived, he discovered that in addition to Sheng Hong, the initiator, Sheng Hong's two sons were also there, as well as seven or eight other sons, two of whom were Wang Zhong's age.

Similar talents.

The cultural gatherings initiated by Mr. Sheng himself were naturally different from those that tried to sell dogs on their own. In addition to eating wine and listening to music, most of the remaining activities were related to the discussion of knowledge. First, the scholars were allowed to discuss and debate with each other, and then

Sheng Hong commented, then personally set the questions to test the talents and learning of the students, and finally gave evaluations and gave careful guidance.

Although Sheng Hong is a man who has both sides, he still has real qualities. As a second-ranked Jinshi, although Sheng Hong's ranking is only in the upper middle of the second class, he is not as talented as his short-lived father, but

It is more than enough to guide a group of people to develop talents.

As for this group of talented people, they are all supported by the Sheng family. If anyone successfully passes the exam and enters the official career in the future, it will naturally be from the Sheng family.

In the future, in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, the Sheng family will be the backbone, and these scholars and scholars will be the side branches. If there are those who are extremely talented and rise all the way to the top, and overtake the Sheng family, the Sheng family can also rely on the support they received in the past. Well, be blessed.

Not only the Sheng family, but also most of the wealthy families in the world are like this, especially those like the Sheng family who have only been able to rise for two or three generations and have a weak foundation.

Sheng Hong is also considered to be conscientious and hardworking.

It's just that today's Wang Zhong's performance is completely different from what Sheng Hong expected.

With Wang Zhong's talent and learning, Sheng Hong originally thought that Wang Zhong would shine in the literary conference and become a blockbuster, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhong would mostly watch the whole process and rarely speak. Even if he did speak occasionally, he would usually speak concisely and to the point, and cherish his words like gold. .

Seeing Wang Zhong's performance, Sheng Hong couldn't help but think of his old Taishan, who had been deceased for many years, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the eldest son who looked exactly like Old Taishan.

After the cultural meeting, Sheng Hong sent someone to stop Wang Zhong.

"I've seen Tong San!" Wang Zhong bowed his hands in greeting, but there was no surprise on his face.

Sheng Hong said loudly: "I was above the literary level just now, but my nephew's performance is not consistent with his talent and learning!"

Just looking at Wang Zhong's eyes was somewhat meaningful.

Wang Zhong said neither humble nor arrogantly: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!"

"Oh?" Sheng Hong pretended to be surprised.
