Chapter 97 Wang Xian Wang Ye - Diligence and Progress

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

A moment later, two young men walked into the house in a hurry.

The leader is older.

He has a thin figure, looks like a weak scholar, and his eyes are a bit dull and calm.

The man following behind was slightly younger.

But he was tall and strong, with a strong face and a heroic look between his brows, which formed a sharp contrast with the person in front.

These are naturally Wang Xian and Wang Ye.

"coming?"

Wang Zhuo saw this and hurriedly introduced them to his two sons:
"This is your aunt. She just came here from Bian Jing. Hurry and call someone!"

"Aunt Yi'an!"

"Aunt Yi'an!"

"Good good!"

Wang Ruofu looked at the two cousins ​​whom she hadn't seen for a long time, with a smile on her face:

"Where did this just go?"

Wang Xian replied, "In reply to my aunt, I was just studying at the academy in the city. My father sent someone to look for me and told me that my aunt had arrived home, so we hurriedly asked for leave from our teacher and rushed back."

Wang Ruofu nodded and smiled:
“They are all good kids, and they study hard.”

Wang Ruofu had just heard from Wang Zhuo that neither of them made the list, so it was hard to say that they were talented. She could only praise them for their diligence and seriousness.

Wang Zhuo sighed, "There is no such thing as hardworking or not hardworking. They are just useless people who only think that hard work can make up for their shortcomings."

Wang Ye curled his lips slightly in the back, as if he didn't care about what his father said.

"Brother, that's not the point."

Wang Ruofu spoke on behalf of his two nephews:
"I think they are both good people, diligent and motivated, and they will definitely have a bright future."

"What kind of future do you have? You can't even pass the provincial examination."

Wang Zhuo sighed softly:

"If only they could be like your Changbai, I would have less worries."

Wang Ruofu vaguely felt that Wang Zhuo had other meanings in his words, but she thought she was overthinking it and just smiled:

"I think both of them are capable. Maybe they just haven't found the right person. There's more to life than just studying."

"That's right, that's right!" Wang Ye also spoke at this time.

"How dare you speak!"

Wang Zhuo angrily said to Wang Ye: "I told you to study but you didn't. All you do is wield a spear and a stick all day long. You even fight with your classmates every time you go to school!"

"I didn't want to study, but you forced me to go."

Wang Zhuo muttered quietly, "There is no talent for studying in our family. It would be better to follow my wishes and let me pursue a military career."

"All right!"

Wang Zhuo wanted to say more, but Wang Shunqing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Fuer is here today because of a happy event at home, not to listen to you and your son arguing."

Wang Ruofu also tried to smooth things over when she saw this:

"Yeah, we're all family, there's nothing to argue about."

As he spoke, Wang Ruofu said to Wang Shunqing:
"Uncle, I don't come here often, so I don't have much to bring. I know you are old now, so I asked someone in Beijing to find some medicinal wine, hoping to nourish your body. It's in the carriage."

These medicinal liquors are naturally Styrax liquor.

Wang Ruofu removed the label on the Suhexiang wine reserved for herself, changed the bottle, and took it away secretly, saying only that it was medicinal wine and not that it was a reward from the palace.

Anyway, Wang Shunqing had never tasted it before and couldn't recognize it.

Wang Shunqing thought it was just an ordinary medicinal wine, so he gladly accepted Wang Ruofu's kindness and nodded immediately:

"Since Fu'er is so thoughtful, I will accept it."

Wang Ruofu was just about to take the opportunity to tell Wang Shunqing and his family about going to Bianjing, but Wang Shunqing saw some fatigue in Wang Ruofu's eyes and knew that she must be tired after traveling all the way here, so he ordered:

"Now, take your aunt to the tidy yard."

"Fuer, follow Xian'er to the yard to rest first. You still need to stay here for some time. It's not too late to talk about it if there is anything else." Wang Ruofu also felt a little tired.

Anyway, Yang Wenyuan still has to go to Bailudong and Hongzhou. Even if he can return directly by water, it will take about ten days for the round trip.

I will be staying here for some time, so there is no rush to talk about Hualan's wedding.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

As soon as Wang Ruofu left, Wang Shunqing stood up, snorted, and asked Wang Zhuo to follow him to the study.

Wang Zhuo looked embarrassed when he saw this.

But then he made up his mind and gritted his teeth to follow.

……

Hongzhou is not as good as Bianjing, and Wang Shunqing's family is also considered a wealthy businessman in Hongzhou.

Therefore, Wang Shunqing's mansion was no worse than the Sheng family's courtyard in Bian Jing.

If Wang Shunqing wasn't afraid of violating the rules at home, his house would probably be bigger than it is now.

In the courtyard arranged by Wang Zhuo.

A bluestone-paved corridor winds forward, with neatly trimmed green plants and blooming flowers on both sides.

Wang Zhuo must have chosen the best courtyard in the mansion for Yang Wenyuan.

"I'm so tired!" Yang Ruijin walked into the main room, immediately found a place to sit down, and complained.

"You deserve it."

Yang Wenyuan retorted angrily, "I told you not to come but you refused to listen and sneaked on board. Do you think you are on a spring outing in Bianjing? Now you know how powerful I am, don't you?"

"I just complained, but I didn't regret it."

Yang Rujin pursed her lips and said stubbornly:

"I just said I was a little tired and needed to rest for a while."

Yang Wenyuan was happy and said with a smile:
"Okay then. Once you have rested well, we will continue our journey tomorrow."

"Ah? Didn't you say you wanted to take a two-day break?"

Yang Rujin screamed out immediately, but after seeing Yang Wenyuan's half-smile, she knew she was being fooled, and said angrily:
"Aren't you tired, cousin? You still have the leisure to tease me."

"I'm not tired!"

If it weren't for taking care of Yang Ruijin, Yang Wenyuan would only need to rest for a day and have a good sleep before continuing on his journey.

But there is no way, because I have such a spoiled burden around me.

Seeing Yang Rujin's unhappy expression, Yang Wenyuan felt a little distressed and immediately comforted her: "After we go to Bailu Cave and our hometown, we can take the water route when we return here, and then we won't be so tired."

"real!"

Yang Rujin had been traveling for the past two days and didn't want to ride in a carriage anymore. He said with a look of surprise:
"So we're going to go by water from now on?"

Yang Wenyuan shrugged:

"As I said, as long as you can build a canal directly to Bianjing, the water route will be yours for the taking."

"There's no point in talking any more. You should rest for the next two days. Bailu Academy is not far from here, so you can stay there for a few more days."

……

In the study room.

Wang Shunqing sat at the desk with a gloomy face, while Wang Zhuo stood beside him with an unwilling look on his face.

Wang Shunqing said solemnly:

"Tell me, why did you mention Xian'er and Ye'er over and over again in front of your sister?"

Wang Zhuo glanced at Wang Shunqing and muttered softly:
"Xian'er and Ye'er are both my sister's nephews. Now that we haven't seen each other for such a long time, why can't we mention them?"

Wang Shunqing saw that Wang Zhuo was still not giving up.

He immediately slammed the table and said angrily:
“Are you asking Fu’er to care about her two nephews?

You keep bringing the topic to the two of them, and you're still hinting that they're not doing well. It's your sister, or anyone else, who would know your intentions at a glance!"
