Unlike other neighbors in Huizhou Fucheng, there are not many pedestrians on Doushan Street at noon. On both sides of the street, there are deep courtyards, with horse-headed walls shoulder to shoulder with each other, and black and white are particularly elegant. They are all mansions built by Hui merchants who are successful in doing business outside, with deep courtyards. The largest house often has to sit on another slider from the outermost gate to the innermost courtyard. The so-called unwritten rules that merchants cannot participate in the imperial examinations afterwards have long become a thing of the past. Many people use business to support literature, use literature to enter the officialdom, and use officialdom to expand business. This is the case.

The Xu family mansion is deep in Doushan Street. Several generations of salt merchants in the legitimate branch have accumulated a wealth of family business. In the past 20 or 30 years, two juren and five or six scholars have gradually evolved from merchant families to rural officials and gentry. Due to the large clan members, the originally spacious courtyard can no longer be occupied. However, Doushan Street is limited, except for the legitimate branch, if the side branches are developed, they will often buy houses in other parts of the city. As for the side branches who continue to rely on the legitimate branch to live here, most of the side branches are in ordinary families and rely on their frequent walks to their main houses to maintain blood relationships.

Wang Yuanwan was originally just one of these female relatives in the Xu family. Her father-in-law was an outsider and her husband was a child for many years. Although she became a scholar at a young age, she suffered such a storm. When she followed her mother-in-law to meet the elders and peers in the main hall of her family, she didn't know how many sarcasm she had suffered. But at this moment, the eyes that glanced at her still looked contempt and disdain, but there were many curious eyes.

"Sister-in-law Zhen, your mother's younger brother really accepted the eight-year-old nephew as his son? When I talked to Sister Mingyue that day, she also asked about this matter specifically."

The question was about Xu Wei, a lady from the ninth lady of the Xu family who was a peer with Wang Yuanguan. She was a bit cute and cute and loved by her grandmother Fang. As she was, the others immediately started asking questions. Wang Yuanguan had no idea how much idle he had in the past days. Even her mother-in-law once whispered a few words, but now she finally got the turn of the tables. But she forced herself to suppress the idea of ​​ridicule some people and quietly told everyone the scene of Minglun Hall she had inquired about.

As soon as Wang Yuanwan finished speaking, someone couldn't stand her pride and suddenly interrupted: "A fourteen-year-old father, eight-year-old son, if any lady married him in the future, she would have a cheap son as soon as she passed the door. At that time, there would be some fun!"

"I said this to my brother," Wang Yuanguan said lightly, "Although he is young, he is very open-minded and says that there are always girls with good vision in the world."

Seeing that many people around her disapproval, she smiled and said, "Besides, she is an adopted son, not an heir. Jinbao has been with my brother for less than two months, and can read all the books I have read. The first hand characters have been trained from the initial dog crawling to a very decent one. Even the great master highly appreciates his qualifications. My brother also joked that he is waiting for Jinbao to succeed in his academic field so that he can support himself."

Thinking of Wang Fulin saying such old and old words at the age of fourteen, the young and old in the room were immediately happy. Even the old lady Fang, who was always serious in the main seat, almost burst into tears. In this way, the picky atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace.

Fang smiled again and said, "It is said that we should treat the elderly and the elderly of others. It may be easier to do the former, but there are no ones who can do the latter. It is rare that he is very meticulous and careful at a young age, which makes the evil nephew in the clan unable to succeed, and protects the beautiful and beautiful talents. No wonder even the great master praised him. If you have the chance in the future, you should bring him to your house to sit in the house."

Now the Xu family has the highest generation. Fang family, who came from the Fang family in Yanzhen, has spoken, so there is no other words. Wang Yuanguan's mother-in-law Ke Shi felt extremely happy. For the first time, she felt that the eldest daughter-in-law's family was not very generous, and the other shortcomings were really undeniable. After all, there were a few new daughters-in-law in this family who could handle the housework in an orderly manner as soon as she entered the door, respect her parents-in-law and treat her uncle and sister-in-law kindly? After a long time, when she was about to take Wang Yuanguan to say goodbye, she saw the curtain move, but she opened her head to one of her own mothers. Knowing that this action was unruly, she was immediately embarrassed.

"What are you doing sneaking in? Come in and talk!"

"It's a little reckless." The old mother thorned her teeth into the house. After Wanfu gave the ceremony, she smiled and said with a smile on her face, "It's a big grandma's house. The young one will come to see if she has time."

Wang Yuanwan only thought it was Wang Fulin, and was overjoyed: "Is it my brother here?"

Someone in the room immediately joked: "Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive."

But the old mother shook her head immediately after hearing this: "It's not Wang Xiaoguanren, but Mr. Nanming, the younger brother of Songmingshan, and the eldest grandmother's uncle, Master Wang Er."

It is said that Huizhou Prefecture can produce several Jinshi every three years, but now the court is dangerous and can truly be one of the top ten high-ranking officials. Even if Mr. Nanming from Songmingshan is now unemployed, he has already been a governor before he was dismissed from office. In recent years, he is known to Wang Shizhen and is famous all over the world. In this Huizhou Prefecture where women and children also study, there is no second literary celebrity who can be called together. Therefore, the eyes of the people in the room immediately changed when they looked at Wang Yuanguan. Even if they were still a little dissatisfied, they also showed some surprise and envy.

Wang Yuanwan almost thought she had heard it. The reason why her father had not returned from business for many years was that the eldest daughter of her family vaguely realized that she had a little bit of it. Apart from the big days of worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve, her family had almost cut off contact with the most prominent relatives in the clan. Even when she got married, she only ordered people to give gifts and did not come to have a drink. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the elders of the family would come to see her younger generation!

"Go quickly, don't let your uncle wait for a long time!"

This time, even Fang urged him repeatedly. When Wang Yuanwan hurriedly accused him of guilt and hurriedly left with his mother-in-law Ke, there was a burst of surprise in the room. I don’t know who muttered in a low voice: “It was a lawsuit that almost wanted to be reborn, but I didn’t expect that the bad thing would turn into a good thing and suddenly it started to shake!”

Fang did not say anything, but showed fatigue. Xu Wei was the best at observing words and expressions. He quickly brought tea and water to ask if his grandmother was tired. When others saw this, they quickly surrendered. When the idle people were gone, Fang turned a wink. Xu Wei's mother, her eldest daughter-in-law Cheng, immediately got up and went outside the house, and ordered someone to go to Wang Yuanguan's house to inquire.

After about half an hour, news came.

"Old lady. The second master of the Wang family came, and they met the fourth wife and Grandma Zhen and sent four-color gifts together. He only left for a quarter of an hour, but the room was filled with laughter. It is said that Grandma Zhen's younger brother made a joke when he went to see the Grandmaster off."

Fang immediately exclaimed in surprise: "I just made the Grand Master praise him a few days ago. Why did I make a joke again today? And Zhen's daughter-in-law, the eldest sister, can actually laugh?"

"It's a joke, but it's also a good story. I heard that Wang Xiaogong and others went to see the grandmaster off today. The impatient students surrounded the grandmaster's poem on the left and right and took the opportunity to pee and escape! Who knew that at this time, the grandmaster summoned him. He was not here, and a book boy next to him naturally had to report. At this time, a student from Wuyuan squeezed out a few sentences. The book boy was angry and recited a poem by his master. This time, the grandmaster praised him and laughed three times. He set off immediately. When Wang Xiaogong came back, the grandmaster was gone even his figure!"

Zhang Ersao, who was talking back and forth, spoke vividly and recited the poem again. Although the female relatives in the room were not present, they all felt lifelike. For a moment, Xu Wei actually burst into laughter, and then blinked her eyes and thought a lot. Fang couldn't help but smile and said, "There are talents in the country and the country have emerged, and they have been leading the trend for hundreds of years... It turns out that it's so amazing. Zhen's daughter-in-law's younger brother is really unusual! Okay, you go down and receive the reward!"

Zhang Ersan was overjoyed. After thanking her, she was about to step down, but another voice came from outside: "Old lady, the little husband Wang brought Jin Bao to see Grandma Zhen. He had already entered the house. He happened to miss the second master of the Wang family!"

If she was just a fourteen-year-old scholar, Fang would only ask. However, a fourteen-year-old scholar turned over a lawsuit that was extremely unfavorable to her. She made such a "joke" when she saw her off today. Although she was two generations older than her, she could be her grandmother in terms of age, she still said with great interest: "Let's do this, prepare for the slider. I'll join in the fun and see this little husband Wang!"

Everyone did not expect Fang to be so excited. I advised her to invite someone to talk, but Fang only shook her head and said, "Zhen's daughter-in-law has been here today. For our curiosity, she invited her to come again. This is not a relative, but a current person. At the age of my life, I told people the truth that I was curious. I think that since her younger brother loves young people, he should always respect the elderly and not behave in the outside world."

The old lady at home said this, and the others rushed to do some work. Xu Wei helped to change her clothes for her grandmother who was dressed up in a homely manner. She said curiously, "Grandma, didn't Wang Fulin say that she was a nerd in the past? Why is she so powerful all of a sudden?"

"I was only fourteen years old and accepted an adopted son of eight years old. I saw him off to the Grand Master, but I was impatiently slipping out of the court. Isn't that stupid?" Fang said as he even laughed, but said thoughtfully, "It's true nature."

If we knew that behind this fame and fortune storm was related to the Xia Tax storm, what would Wang Fulin, who was truly in a state of mind, react?

However, it was finally easy to clean up outside, and the slide rod had already been lifted to the door of the main hall, and then another message was sent. Now, everyone who had just finished the work was stunned.

"Ye County Zun of Shexian sent someone to find us and invited Xiaogugong Wang to the county government!"
