Chapter 31: The Heir (II)
On the first day of June, it is advisable to avoid buying production and making a bed, and it is advisable to travel.
As early as this day, the Wang family had already packed up and waited for the auspicious time to move.
So on this day, the sky was bright, and the sky was only showing a light and early white color, and the main gate of the royal mansion was opened from the inside.
A group of people came out of it in a mighty way, some carrying things, some driving carriages, as if moving, but in fact, this family all went to live in Jishui County, and it was no different from moving the whole family.
Since Wang Shoutian was promoted to the commander of Jishui County, the Wang family has become more and more a large household within a radius of 100 miles, and the number of slaves has reached dozens.
Although most of these people are children of poor families in the vicinity, many of them are rude, and they don't know etiquette, they have been cultivated in this Wang family for a few months, and they are even decent.
At this time, because of He Gui and others, it was not too busy.
Even so, the horse and the donkey cried, but it woke up several families.
How many pairs of eyes are staring at the royal mansion, this person woke up, and within a pillar of incense, the whole village knew.
It was originally a cold road in the village, and when the daughter of the Wang family came out, there were already many onlookers.
Seeing this scene, the old lady of the Wang family had to sigh, with a little helplessness in her words, and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to leave." ”
Zhao Wan on the side was so young that she didn't understand the meaning of her mother-in-law's words, she took a few steps forward and asked suspiciously: "Mother-in-law, can you leave when you get in the car?"
The old lady glanced at her, and saw that the daughter-in-law was wearing a skirt style that the wife was fortunate enough to wear, although she only wore one or two ornaments on her head, but they were not vulgar.
Sighing again, the old lady of the Wang family only said: "After a while, you will be clear." ”
Zhao Wan didn't dare to ask again, although she was confused in her heart, she just stood beside her mother-in-law and served carefully.
The younger Su'er beside the old lady lowered her eyes thoughtfully.
Seeing that several necessary objects and valuables were loaded into the car, the old lady gave an order, and the female dependents got into the car one after another.
At this time, in the southeast of the village, a group of people came to Hulala, shouting as they walked, and seeing this, the old lady had to order the carriage to stop and wait.
"Su'er, you wait in the car first, for a while, you have to entangle, you haven't been out of the cabinet yet, and you are not the daughter of the Wang family, so it is not good to show up. ”
Knowing who it was, the old lady had to get out of the car again, and the accompanying lady could only follow.
To Su'er, the old lady specially mentioned these words.
Su'er didn't want to have more contact with the villagers, and the old lady's words hit her heart, so she nodded obediently and got back into the carriage very quietly.
In the same place, only the old lady and a group of family servants were left standing in front of the car.
In less than a moment, the group had arrived. At the head was the boy from the patriarch's family, and he exclaimed: "Old lady, old lady! My grandfather is about to bring the villagers to see you off, don't go!"
After a while, when he went to the old lady, he shouted that the person was about fourteen or fifteen years old and out of breath, but he still came home to give the old lady a deep salute.
The old lady was busy with him, and she was very upset.
"I just moved to the county to stay for a few days, and I was afraid of bothering you, so I chose to set off in the morning, but I didn't want to, and it still alarmed you. ”
"Old lady, what you say is far away, the clansmen are related by blood, how can they be compared with ordinary people? What is there to bother or not, if my grandfather listens to this, he will definitely be uncomfortable!" As the young man spoke, several people behind him had already arrived, and among them, there was a patriarch of the Wang clan who showed an old state.
Although Wang Shoutian has become an official family and is in the clan, he wants to give this patriarch a few thin faces, how can Mrs. Wang not understand this?
"Patriarch, I'm just going to stay in the county for a few days, why are you here in person?" the old lady said busily.
"Tian'er is an example for the whole village and even the whole clan, and you went to Jishui County this time, I don't know if you have brought some local products, I have prepared some here. ”
"I heard that you will leave in the past few days, but I don't know the time of the letter, if it wasn't for my kid to say it in the past, I would still be waiting for it. The patriarch seemed to be dissatisfied, but there was no real reproach in his words, and he also had a smile on his face.
The old lady was busy explaining again, and saw that several large baskets of souvenirs were forced into the car by the clansmen, and a few teenagers were pushed in front of her by the patriarch.
"These children are good teenagers in the clan, they all went to work in the city before, and they just came back, you see, can they be brought to Jishui County? No matter what they do, as long as they can stay there and grow some skills, and give these children a long face in their families, it will be done. Although the patriarch was discussing, when he said this, it was expected that the Wang family would not refuse.
The Wang family did not refuse, and she really couldn't refuse, in front of these many people, the patriarch just made this request, could she refuse in person?
I had to answer, but I said that the woman didn't understand the affairs of men, and these people only brought them over, and what to do, it was up to the son to decide.
"It's nature, it's nature. Seeing that the person had accepted it, the patriarch's thin face seemed to be able to give birth to flowers, and he said with great satisfaction.
While talking here, after a while, Zhang Lichang, who rushed over after hearing the news, also rushed over to see him off with a humble smile.
Beside him, followed by his favorite sister-in-law Zhang Qingyun.
Seeing him again, it made the villagers stunned, less than a year later, this son has grown a little, his facial features are much more handsome, standing aside and silent, but he is also decent.
Sensing that the daughter-in-law moved down a little uneasily, the old lady smiled on her face, and after only a few words, she lukewarmly proposed to leave.
This lieutenant still had a smile on his face, and sent half a mile of land with the Wang clan.
The family behaved very humbly, but when the Wang family's convoy went away, Zhang Qingyunfang, who was standing next to his father, raised his head and looked at the direction of the convoy's departure, his face uncertain.
"What else are you looking at? What, you are not as powerful as others, and you still want to take revenge if you can't do it?" At this time, there was no one else around, and as soon as Zhang Lichang turned his face, he saw the hatred on his son's face, and immediately reprimanded.
Zhang Qingyun did not jump up as before, but bowed his head very respectfully and said: "Please rest assured father, as long as that person gains power for a day, his son will endure it for a day, and he will never do a stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg." ”
He was quite satisfied with the changes in his son during this time, so when he saw that he was obedient, he didn't say much, but said, "It's good that you understand." ”
Zhang Qingyun nodded in agreement.
As soon as the Wang family left, the palace that had been lively for a long time suddenly seemed empty.
However, although several masters have gone to Jishui County, there are also a few honest slaves left here, who usually only take care of the house and fields, but they are also idle.
Those who followed were all usually clever and capable, among them, the Hegui family was the most favored.
He Gui is now in charge of a group of maids and servants, and he has long been a little timid, and his speech and demeanor have become more and more capable.
Zhao Wan has a gentle personality, virtuous and filial, when she first came here, she helped the housekeeper of Hegui, and usually followed the literacy and reading, which can be regarded as getting more and more progressive, but there are more and more matters in the Wang family, which really manages the affairs of a large family, but it is not something that can be learned in one time.
Moreover, in the Wang family's heart, Zhao Wan is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, not exactly a promise-only person, and she is just a flat wife, not an eldest wife, even if it is for her sake, the old lady will never really let her really grasp the power of the housekeeper.
The Wang family knows in his heart that his son will marry a wife in the future, and he will marry the daughter of the Shu clan, how many such women will tolerate the fall of power?
After entering the door, instead of starting infighting and damaging Zhao Wan, it is better to control it now.
For this Zhao Wan, the old lady really likes it, and it is precisely because she likes it that she has to take precautions.
"My son's marriage should be soon. Thinking of the man's reactions, the old lady suddenly became a little uneasy.
I don't know what kind of marriage that person will arrange for his son, if there is a difficult lady on the stall, I am afraid that the family will have no peace.
There is a good saying: mother and son are connected, and father and son are by nature.
Now this is really a bit appropriate, the old lady is thinking about her son's marriage on the road, and Wang Shoutian is also bothering about this matter.
It's just that what Wang Shoutian thinks about is when this marriage will be decided.
Although the initial appointment has passed, the person he sent to hire has not yet sent back the letter, and if something happens at this time, it is not impossible.
Only when the hiring is successful, the matter is settled.
Wang Shoutian had to wait.
Not only him, but Wang Shoutian's team, everyone is anxiously waiting.
These people knew how much help they would have for their own lord if this thing came to pass, so compared to the people who were going to get married, they were more attentive to the bystanders.
Wang Shoutian was calm and calm, and gave a lot of relief to the other people in the county government.
On the afternoon of this day, in the Yabian Hall of Jishui County, the fragrance of tea overflowed.
In the afternoon, when there was nothing to do, Wang Shoutian and Lai Tongyu played chess here, and several people watched the game in a circle.
Wang Shoutian was imprisoned for more than ten years in his previous life, and he usually enjoyed himself with chess, but now he is playing, and his momentum is naturally different.
In the end, Lai Tongyu had no choice but to push the chessboard and said depressedly: "No, I wanted to take advantage of these few days to win the defeat and win the main game, but I don't want the main father to even give me this opportunity, which really surprises and delights me!"
Haha laughed, Wang Shoutian saw that the other party was very depressed, and teased: "At your level, even if the county is upset and wants to win me, I'm afraid there is no hope." ”
After a pause, he said, "Which of you will play the next plate?"
Several people who were swept by his gaze waved their hands and said, "Lord, I'm not good at chess!"
Wang Shoutian laughed more and more happily.
Looking at Wang Shoutian for a long time, Lai Tongyu sighed and asked quietly: "The lord really admires me, at this time, can he still be so calm?"
Song Ziye was overjoyed at the beginning, and when he heard that Wang Shoutian already had a flat wife, he couldn't help but turn pale, even if he didn't sweep his sleeves away, it was almost like this.
This shocked a group of people, and they were very worried about the marriage.
"Lord, I already like this matter very much in the Song family, the key is Zhao Wan, as long as this flat wife is demoted...... " At this time, Xue Yuan finally couldn't bear it, stepped forward seriously, bowed, and said: "This big family, how can there be a flat wife to divide the family, the lord is wise, and he will not not understand this." ”
As he said this, the room was silent, except for the afternoon sun.
Wang Shoutian picked up a son and stroked it, as if he was smiling.
