Chapter 208(1/2)
Wen Dao Academy will be closed for two consecutive days.
Wang Zhen didn't go out today, she was leaning on a wicker chair quite leisurely.
Dressed in white clothes, a book, a pot of tea, a plate of fruits, a lovely wife, and a beautiful concubine.
The son and daughter paid their respects and then went out to play.
Wang Zhen held the scroll and read it, Tan Xiang sat on one side and peeled a fruit to feed him from time to time, while Tao Wenjun mostly checked accounts at the table.
Wang Zhen held the scroll in one hand and played with Tan Xiang's jade hand with the other. Her eyes fell on the book and she bit the fruit in her mouth.
"Ah."
Tan Xiang asked: "Why are you laughing, husband?"
"The monk in the laughing book." Wang Zhen said.
He unfolded the book in his hand and showed Tan Xiang the cover.
"Xingshi... Wutong Ying?" Tan Xiang was slightly confused and said, "What kind of book is this?"
Wang Zhendao: "It's about the romantic affairs of a monk with six impure roots, who did the 'Awakening Zen'."
Tao Wenjun turned his head and said angrily: "I rested for two days, but I was reading...such a bad book at home."
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Aren't Tan'er and I waiting for you to finish your work?"
"Screw you, the boss is too young to be serious." Tao Wenjun turned around to take care of the accounts and ignored him.
Wang Zhen then said to Tanxiang: "Last time, the Master of the Hanlin Academy praised the name of 'Weizhai'. You also imitated him, remember?"
"Remember."
"Master He Liangyuan, he banned this book a few days ago." Wang Zhen said: "If he hadn't banned this book, I wouldn't have known that such a good book existed."
Tao Wenjun turned around and cursed again: "That's you. Because it was banned, I came here to see you. No wonder the boss of the Hanlin Academy didn't choose you to be on the list."
"Just pretend that I have a bone in the back of my head." Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Each flower enters each eye. The Buddhist teachings in this book are like the etiquette and rules in this world. They can restrain some people, but not everyone."
"It is shameful for monks to fish and hunt women in this book, but it is true, so what if the book is banned? This book is about adultery, but the title of the book has the word 'Awakening the World', which is quite thought-provoking..."
Tao Wenjun scolded: "Things selling dog meat with sheep's heads should be banned."
Tan Xiang didn't understand this anyway, so she just looked at Wang Zhen's eloquent talk and felt a sense of admiration.
Just as he was talking, Wang Yan came to see him, so Wang Zhen had to go out to see him.
After a while.
Wang Zhen came back with a slight frown.
Tao Wenjun was also frowning.
"Brother Xie, what do you want from me?"
Wang Zhen said: "He wants to marry the maid next to him. Please ask me to persuade his second uncle and second aunt."
Tao Wenjun said casually: "What's wrong with the second aunt about taking a concubine?"
"Not a concubine, he wants to marry Bi Qi as his wife."
"How can that work?" Tao Wenjun said: "Our Wang family is such a wealthy family, how could he marry a maid as..."
"I promised him." Wang Zhen waved her hands and said, "This kid is used to being unofficial, so it's a good thing that he can take responsibility now."
Tao Wenjun said anxiously: "How could you agree to him? If nothing else, you just offended the second uncle and the second aunt by persuading him. Then he turned around and said that you, the eldest son of Dongfu, were deliberately making the second wife embarrassed.
, and you are his husband, and people say it was you who taught him. This is how the disaster of the Emperor’s Wall started..."
Wang Zhen waved her hand and said with a smile: "I understand what you said, but you are just telling the truth. To avoid the disaster of the imperial war, you can't rely on such clever tricks to avoid family disputes."
Tao Wenjun was stunned.
Wang Zhen held up her hands and said: "Teach your brothers and let them be responsible men. This is the right way for the family to prosper and prosper. Only by following this worldly path can we go further. Do you understand?"
Tanxiang looked at Wang Zhen and her eyes lit up again.
Ten years ago, Tao Wenjun might have been able to be coaxed by him, but now he scolded: "Stop showing off, marrying a maid is unreasonable. How can you still try to break the world's path? Return to the righteousness of the Dharma."
?You yourself are still a **** watcher."
"In short, don't worry about this." Wang Zhen laughed at herself and asked, "What are you in trouble for?"
"You are not arranging your brother's marriage yet." Tao Wenjun said: "Father agreed to the clan mansion that our family would buy Princess Chunning's mansion... It was originally agreed that Zhongyonghou's house would be sold to us, but
Now that the wedding is approaching, the Marquis is still deciding the price."
"Still trying to decide?" Wang Zhen was a little surprised, "The price we gave is not low."
"More than that, it's not low." Tao Wenjun frowned and said, "Now it's already 30% higher than the market price. I thought I could settle it today, but I regretted it again!"
She said, becoming more and more anxious: "In a few days, the palace will have to put in bed cabinets and furniture, and such a big house will have to be cleaned. With the Marquis making such a fuss, it's too late to find another house, so we can only let him increase the price.
.Son of a bitch!"
Wang Zhen shook her head and said: "Don't add it. Zhongyong Hou didn't plan to sell it and deliberately dragged us away."
Tao Wenjun was stunned and murmured: "No way?"
"It must be, let's find another house."
"But this is the princess's mansion," Tao Wenjun said: "There are very few condominiums of this size in the capital, and even fewer are willing to sell..."
Wang Zhen said: "This was supposed to be built by the clan. Now that we are here to buy it, it will naturally not have that level of specifications. It's just about the same."
Tao Wenjun felt quite regretful.
"Ms. Cui has not recovered from a long-term illness." She organized this marriage as a "sister-in-law like a mother", and she wanted to make a big splash.
Now that the house is not up to standard, the limelight has become much less popular.
But since Wang Zhen said so, she also knew that this was the only way to go.
"But it's too late to buy something with lower specifications now." Tao Wenjun still frowned, and after a while he said: "I heard that you spent 30,000 taels from the public account to buy a house a few days ago. Can you use it?
?”
Wang Zhen said: "That's not a big house, it's Wu Pei's house."
"Wu Pei's? Just the one to the south of our house?!" Tao Wenjun said in shock: "Three thousand taels is enough for that house!"
"I know." Wang Zhen waved her hands and sighed: "He Wan originally bought it to be my neighbor, but now he has something happened and needs money."
"As long as you know." Tao Wenjun didn't care about his external affairs and frowned: "Where can I buy a big house temporarily..."
After a while.
The couple suddenly looked at each other with understanding.
"Dad said last time that he has a villa in Shichahai. That location is also a house owned by dad. Do I need to mention it?"
Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Am I going to offend my second uncle and my father together?"
"Two offending things, you ask my second brother to share one for you..."
~
"The traitor!"
In Du Kangzhai, Wang Kang shook his long beard and shouted: "Kneel down!"
Wang Zhu did not kneel down and said calmly: "It's just a house."
Wang Kang rolled his eyes.
Just a house?
That is my private property for retirement!
I was willing to take it out before because the worst case scenario was that I would have to pay for it from the public account to buy another place.
Now that the wine business is no longer in business, and the accounts are controlled by you, a traitor like you, can I still receive the money?
The key is, is it the same whether it is given to the boss or to the third child?!
But Wang Zhu knew what he was thinking, and said calmly: "The child will exchange Yiyuan for his father, and then give the father some money."
"Make up money? You are all born of me! Also, where is your Yiyuan? Where is my Jingyuan? On the shore of Qianhai Lake, it is connected to the palace by the water. The Drum Tower is connected to Houhu Bay to the west, and the Yinding Bridge lies across the sunset.
, my landscape garden is located on this bay, and you can still see the Silver Ingot Bridge when you go up to the pavilion. If you don’t have the opportunity, you won’t be able to buy it no matter how much money you have!”
Wang Zhu said: "It is precisely because I couldn't buy it that the child came to ask his father for it."
"Get out! I was willing to give it to the eldest brother at that time, just because it is still passed down from generation to generation in my Wang family. You gave it to the third eldest child? That was for someone else's family! I tell you, it is absolutely impossible!"
"I, absolutely, no!"
Wang Zhu said: "Father, you promised the clan mansion that we would buy the house."
"Yes at that time. But am I still the head of this family now? And which evil creature locked me up?"
As Wang Kang spoke, he clasped his hands and said proudly: "I am in captivity now and have nothing to do."
Wang Zhu: "..."
