Coming out of Prince Yi's mansion, Wang Quantai was not sad for the thirteenth elder brother's scolding, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also annoyed by his mother's partiality. But man's words are terrifying, as a son of man, how can he do what he wants?

But I couldn't bear it anymore.

I thought that I and my wife would live in the old house, so that I could give the old lady a wake-up call and let her settle down, but I didn't expect the old lady to become Bengali.

Doesn't she understand that she can rely on herself, a living person, not the big house.

He sent his two restless concubines to Zhuangzi, wanting to make the family less right and wrong, but the old lady was good and instigated his two concubines. Now, the two sons looked at him, and they saw no closeness, only fear. I heard that in private, I also have a grudge against my mother-in-law.

is not close to his biological father and mother, and he is mixed with several cousins all the time, and these two sons are afraid that they will not be able to keep it. Even if they were taught a lesson and isolated their cousins, they were poisoned in their hearts.

This home is about to be scattered.

He was originally a Shandong man, and he was also a temperamental person. The affection for brothers and nephews was almost worn out as early as when they returned to their hometowns to become married.

The reason why he repeatedly tolerated the behavior of the old lady and his younger brother was also because he was in the official career, knew the danger of officialdom, and did not dare to make a mistake.

Just like the impeachment excerpt that the thirteenth elder brother said to him today, the imperial history is not to verify who is right and wrong, as long as he knows that he disobeys his mother, it is a crime of unfilial piety.

endured until now, and finally waited for the thirteenth elder brother to speak.

Even if he uses thunderous means, even if there is a royal history to impeach him, he is no longer afraid.

No one will care whether he, a member of the palace, is really filial, but countless people are staring at the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion.

The scolding of the thirteenth elder brother just now did not avoid the people of the palace.

He believed that even if the old lady really went to the yamen to beat the drum in the future to accuse him of the unfilial piety of his eldest son, no one would believe it.

Because the thirteenth elder brother believed him, because even the thirteenth elder brother couldn't look at it and speak, it seemed that he, a "filial son", was incompetent and helpless.

No matter how much the old lady makes trouble, she will be seen as rude and ignorant.

Riding on the horse, he had a bit of self-deprecation on his face.

I am really despicable, so indulgent that the old lady is partial, and I faintly do not pretend to be pitiful; connived at the brothers and doves to occupy the magpie's nest and make a lot of nonsense, and also had the idea of breaking off early.

The calculations learned in officialdom are used in the bloodline to the person.

When he thought that he would be burdened with the status of a businessman for the rest of his life, the disdain and contempt in the eyes of his younger brother and sister-in-law were unconcealed; When they learned of their wives' origins, their mean faces were even more revealed.

That scene was so vividly imprinted in his mind that Wang Quantai never forgot it for a moment.

On what basis are they sure that after they are ruthless and unrighteous, and after they despise and despise them, they should not hold grudges, but should be kind to them without complaint?

Is it not easy for a mother to be widowed? But after his father died, he joined the army early, supported the door, and supported his younger brother to study. For more than ten years, he sent 1,000 taels of silver home, just because he thought it was family.

What's available? Just to "buy pen and ink" for his nephews, he deserves to be poor, he will not get a penny of money back, and he will have to borrow money to marry a daughter-in-law?

His hard-working eldest son deserves to take the hundreds of taels of silver from the sale of his ancestral property and leave his hometown with his wife to beg for a living; And the younger brother, who only knew how to read and never knew how to make a living, used the money earned by his brother to buy a field and a shop, and made slaves call maids.

Thinking of these, Wang Lusheng, who is over forty years old, lost his calmness and still hated it.

That kind of resentment can't be resolved.

It wasn't until he reached the gate of Cao's mansion that Wang Quantai shook his head and calmed down his emotions.

Walking into the gate of Cao's Mansion, he was also thinking about Cao Hao's intention to call him over.

Also for impeachment? Or did the people of the Dutong Mansion make a big fuss in the Zheng family?

He was a little weak-hearted.

He knows his uncle's surname, and he would rather be a rich man than have the heart to be a man; But in May, the eldest brother begged Caofu, made up for the commission of the sixth grade, and entered the Yamen of the Nine Gates as an errand boy.

It's just that I'm afraid that I've wronged my wife, and I have the intention of supporting my wife.

With his identity as a second-rank commander, a small six-rank step military academy is really not a big deal. But this desire to protect his siblings moved and envied him.

Cao Hao didn't expect Wang Quantai to come so early, he thought that since Wang Quantai was in a hurry to go to the palace, something must have happened.

In his heart, he has a lot of complaints about Wang Quantai.

The world values relatives, and in the eyes of outsiders, the friendship between Cao Hao and Wang Lusheng is really not as good as the uncle and nephew relationship between Wang Lusheng and Wang Quantai.

In fact, Wang Lusheng, a Qilu man nicknamed "Sai Mengwei", is not only kind to outsiders, but also kind to his relatives.

Although Wang Quantai is a cousin, Wang Lusheng has always treated him as a nephew.

After Wang Quantai gained power, not only did he not think about reciprocating, but instead connived at his brother to bully Wang Lusheng's family, which was really "ungrateful".

Thinking about it again, Zheng Hu made up for the vacancy, Cao Hao was in a mood for a while, and he didn't bother to say anything if he wanted to persuade him.

Wang Quantai noticed Cao Hao's coldness, and his heart was suspicious. Although the number of contacts is limited, Cao Hao has always been gentle and polite, and rarely has the current detached look.

Cao Hao was too lazy to go around in circles, and said bluntly: "I have long wanted to see you, but I have never been empty, and I am also thinking in my heart, I don't know whether I should tell you or not." After hesitating for a long time, I still want to ask for a thing or two. ”

Although he said "please", his tone did not look like asking for help.

Wang Quantai's heart sank, and he said, "Cao Ye has something to say, just command." ”

Cao Hao looked at Wang Quantai and said lightly: "The seventh master is getting older, and the two sons are young, which is really worrying. Lord Wang has a bright future, and if he can shelter, please ask for shelter or two. ”

Wang Quantai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

The seventh uncle and two sons are young, what is this called?

The little cousin is not too big, but the eldest cousin is already in his twenties, and he is married to his own son, where is he still young?

Seeing that Wang Lusheng was stunned and didn't answer, Cao Hao frowned and said, "If you, a noble person who is a cousin, are busy, then I, a person with a foreign surname, will have a lot of trouble." has been friends with the seventh master for more than ten years, and he can't be seen in his twilight desolation, and he is bullied. ”

Wang Quantai reacted, his face immediately changed, he stood up, and said excitedly: "Someone bullied Uncle Seven? Who is so short-sighted, please tell Cao Ye bluntly! ”

The second-rank deputy capital may not be so heavy in the capital, but in the local area, it is at the same level as the governor. Someone embarrassed his cousin, how could he not make him angry?

Although people in the world pay attention to returning to their hometowns after being promoted and making a fortune, because he has been on an errand over the years, he has not returned to his hometown.

Cao Hao raised his eyes and looked at Wang Quantai quietly, without opening his mouth to answer.

Wang Quantai was puzzled by Cao Hao's silence at first, then slowly opened his eyes, his face suddenly turned pale, and he spoke after a while: "Is it Wang Quanfeng who offended the seventh uncle?" ”

Wang Quantai's expression did not seem to be fake, obviously unaware, the disgust in Cao Hao's heart decreased a little, and said: "Offended or not, I don't know, I only heard that some people accuse the patriarch of the Seventh Master of bad intentions and instigating other people's brotherhood; also took advantage of his official status to become the elder of the Wang family, and let out a message to ask the old patriarch to step down, so as to compete for the next patriarch. Everyone in the Wang family knows that the Seventh Master has offended the powerful, and many people avoid the Seventh Master's family. ”

After hearing this, there was no need to find someone to verify at all, Wang Quantai knew that what Cao Hao said was true.

Because he had heard similar things from his mother and his younger brother, he thought that it was just his younger brother who loved face and made excuses for his past rudeness; The mother, on the other hand, is eccentric, as long as whatever the younger brother says is right.

It seems that with this rhetoric, they can convince themselves to forget their affection for him and cling to him with peace of mind.

Wang Quantai despised his younger brother's shamelessness, as long as he saw his younger brother put on a face of "righteous words", he remembered the sentence "Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are all scholars".

Unexpectedly, this is not only Wang Quanfeng's excuse for himself, but also a cover for him to bully others. The one who bullied was still the cousin who was kind to Wang Quantai.

Wang Quantai clenched his fists vigorously, the thirteenth elder brother's reprimand made him ashamed, and Cao Hao's words made him even more embarrassed.

Wang Quantai's shoulders suddenly slumped down, and after coming out of Prince Yi's mansion, he was faintly complacent in his heart, and he had long disappeared.

His forbearance in the past few years has not only failed his wife, but also his benefactor.

Now, the farce in his hometown is even known to Cao Hao, a person with a foreign surname, who is still ignorant and ungrateful.

Regarding how the Wang brothers get along, Cao Hao is reluctant to talk much.

But if Wang Quanfeng used Wang Quantai's power to persecute Wang Lusheng, Cao Hao couldn't stand by.

Cao Hao had already planned it, if only Wang Quantai was willing to take care of it; If Wang Quantai refuses to take care of it, then for Wang Lusheng, he will knock out the Wang family's support.

Cao Hao does not deny his selfishness, Wang Lusheng is his benefactor and his old friend. Ten Wang Quantai combined, but not one Wang Lusheng.

Even if Wang Quantai is the disciple of the Thirteenth Elder Brother, he is not afraid.

He hadn't counted people for a long time, but his brain hadn't rusted yet. can not only let the thirteenth elder brother choose Wang Quantai as the doorman, but also make the thirteenth elder brother tired of Wang Quantai.

When Wang Quantai raised his head again, he showed decisiveness: "Master Cao, don't worry, with my Wang Quantai in the first place, I will not let the seventh uncle and the two cousins be wronged." ”

Cao Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "You have to think about it, isn't this a matter of a day or two?" Now it is your brother who treats the seventh master's father and son slowly, maybe it will be your son in the future? ”

Wang Quantai straightened his chest and said without hesitation: "They dare? If there is really such a son who disobeys his elders, I don't need Cao Ye to speak, I will directly knock him to death with a board! ”

Cao Hao's face also became solemn, and he said solemnly: "I don't need you to promise anything, as long as you remember, if you can't protect the Seventh Master's family, you will be protected by me." Cao rarely owes favors, but he has received a lot of kindness from the Seventh Master, and he will never watch the Seventh Master's family suffer any grievances. This time, since I have you, I will no longer be verbose; If there is a next time, Cao may not have the patience to discuss anything with you. ”

In the end, the voice was faint, but it was cold, and Wang Quantai felt that his back was covered with cold sweat.

Wang Quantai also said with a straight face: "I know, I don't dare to let Cao Ye bother with family affairs......"
