…
While Wang Zongan was trembling, Wang Shouzhe rushed to the scene.
"Wang Liyao!" Wang Shouzhe reprimanded angrily, "What are you doing standing on the platform? You..."
However, he couldn't say the second half of his reprimand.
Because as soon as Wang Liyao saw her father, the composure and majesty on that pretty little face disappeared without a trace in an instant, her little mouth was suppressed, and tears began to flow.
Then she flew into Wang Shouzhe's arms, crying out of grievance: "Daddy, you've come, woo woo~"
Seeing the baby girl's aggrieved appearance, Wang Shouzhe's heart melted instantly, how could he care about being angry
He hurriedly hugged his precious daughter firmly, rubbing her hair with a distressed face: "You child, standing so high on the platform, you are not afraid of falling?"
"Father, old man, the old master is a bully." Wang Liyao pouted, with tears in her eyes, her pretty little cheeks were puffed up with anger.
Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat.
In this whole scene, why do I look like you are bullying the old master
Then Wang Shouzhe reprimanded his son: "Wang Zong'an, what are you eating? You just stood there stupidly, and didn't know how to persuade your sister."
Wang Zongan's eyes suddenly widened.
This, this is also my fault? I'm only five years old, okay
Besides, I have tried to persuade you many times, but can my sister listen to me
"You still dare to stare at me?" Wang Shouzhe looked majestic, "As the young patriarch of my Ping'an Wang Clan, it's your fault for not being able to control the situation. I'll deal with you when I go back."
Ok!
Wang Zongan had an expression of lovelessness.
This time, a beating is probably inevitable. But he is used to it, every time his sister gets into trouble, he will inevitably be implicated.
As the eldest son of the Wang family, it is really difficult for him~
Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe looked at the students who gathered to make trouble, and when his eyes swept over them, they all trembled.
However, this time, Wang Shouzhe didn't care about them, but said, "It's all gone, so why should I go?"
But what Wang Shouzhe never expected was that the group of children were afraid of returning home, but they did not obey their orders and dispersed, but looked at Wang Liyao eagerly.
Wang Liyao, who was crying and acting coquettishly in Wang Shouzhe's arms, waved her hand and said, "Didn't you hear what my dad said? Let's go."
After the words fell, a large group of students, big and small, dispersed in a rush, going about what they should do.
Wang Shouzhe was in a cold sweat.
Why is his majesty not as effective as his daughter's in this ethnology
Then he saw a few familiar figures among the group of children, sneakily avoiding his sight, trying to slip away.
"Wang Luolan! Wang Shouming! Wang Luoqing! Wang Zongyao! Wang Lilian!"
Every time Wang Shouzhe called a name, a person in the crowd trembled, and then walked back obediently.
From Wang Luolan, who was the oldest, to Luoqing, who was the youngest, they lined up in front of Wang Shouzhe, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
"Wang Luolan." Wang Shouzhe glared, "How old are you? You're still messing around with your niece, nephew, and others!"
"Fourth brother." Wang Luolan laughed dryly twice, and said weakly, "It's not because of the old master, he is a bit too bully. I just wanted to support Yaoyao, and I didn't do anything bad."
Luo Lan, the little eighth king who was still in Wang Shouzhe's arms, is now a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, with a very beautiful appearance, a little beauty.
"Humph!"
Wang Shouzhe snorted, still a little displeased: "I know the old master. Although he is a bit rigid, he is also an old elder of our Wang family. If there is any problem, can't we solve it properly? I think you are I'm in a hurry. It just so happens that your fourth sister's place is too busy, so you go there and organize a refugee team, dredging and expanding the river, and the goal is not less than 30 miles."
"Yes, fourth brother."
Although Wang Luolan felt aggrieved, she obediently accepted the order and left.
It is not the first time she has done similar work.
This is good for the children of the Wang family. Although they need to study and practice, they also need to participate in family affairs.
Not only Wang Luolan, but also Wang Luomiao, as well as former girls such as Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing, have been involved in family affairs while studying.
This will give them great exercise and rapid growth. None of the ladies in the Wang family is a completely delicate daughter.
Then Wang Shouzhe looked at Wang Shouming and Wang Zongyao.
These two boys, one is eight years old and the other is nine years old, both are the continuation of Wang's blood and the foundation of the future of the family.
Especially that Wang Shouming, who is the youngest male in the Shouzi generation, the second son of the sixth uncle Wang Dinghai, who replaced Wang Shouye's original position as the youngest male of the seventh generation.
When Wang Shouzhe saw him like this, he trembled and said honestly, "Fourth brother, I was wrong."
"Fourth uncle, I was wrong too." Wang Zongyao was also very scared, his heart was shaking, "Don't tell my father."
He is the second son of the second brother Wang Shouyi. Although the second brother has a gentle temper, he has very strict requirements for his children. If this matter really fell into the ears of the second brother, Zong Yao would have to shed half of his skin if he didn't die.
"The two of you have already started to warm and nourish your meridians, and you have entered the initial stage of cultivation. Your strength is not weaker than ordinary people." Wang Shouzhe said, "Go to the refugee camp for me, and take on the work of distributing porridge and comforting refugees. I will also let you know that life It's so difficult."
When the two heard this, they were not surprised but delighted, and said to Wang Shouzhe, "Thank you fourth uncle/fourth brother." Doing these jobs, not only do you not need to tell your parents, but you can also earn some meritorious service.
Finally, Wang Shouzhe set his eyes on Wang Lilian and Wang Luoqing.
The two female dolls also looked at Wang Shouzhe with some fear, as if waiting to be dealt with.
Wang Luoqing is the ninth child of Luo's generation, and if there is no accident, she is probably the youngest of Luo's generation.
Of course, it does not rule out that the sixth uncle, Wang Dinghai, will come and chat with an old man about his youthful madness, and give Wang Shouzhe a younger sister.
Now the family conditions are better, the financial pressure and burden are much less, and the fertility rate is much higher than before.
"Fourth brother." Wang Luoqing is only six years old this year, blinking at Wang Shouzhe with watery eyes, and said in a childish voice, "It's sister Yaoyao who said that the old master is too bullying."
"That's your Yaoyao niece, you can't mess up your seniority." Wang Shouzhe rubbed her little head lovingly, "Besides, the old master can still bully you?"
This poor girl is the youngest, but her seniority is high. Wang Zongwei is already thirty years old, so he has to honestly call her Nine Aunt.
"Fourth Uncle." Wang Lilian said aggrievedly, "I also think sister Yaoyao is right, the old master shouldn't look down on those female gentlemen in the ethnology."
Wang Lilian is the eldest daughter of the second brother Wang Shouyi, and she is only seven years old this year. Although she is one year older than Wang Luoqing, she is actually a half-old girl,
For the young girls, Wang Shouzhe couldn't bear to be harsh, so he pinched her cheeks and said, "You guys, the goal now is to study hard. If there is any problem, then report it to the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle It'll work out."
"Fourth brother, we were wrong, and we are willing to be punished." Wang Luoqing was quite reassuring, "We are also willing to go to the refugee camp to help."
"Okay, after I finish this matter, none of you will be able to escape." Wang Shouzhe glared at Wang Liyao as he spoke, "Including you, do you know?"
"I know dad." Wang Liyao was not afraid of being punished, "I also heard from Aunt Seven and Aunt Four that refugees have arrived in Ping'an Town one after another recently, and there is too much resettlement work to do."
"So cute~"
Wang Shouzhe praised her, then put her down, and followed the female gentleman to the old master's office with her.
There was an old man in his seventies sitting in the office. The old man looked very miserable. More than half of his originally majestic white beard was burned, and his face was also black and gray. He looked quite embarrassed.
He was leaning on crutches with both hands, and he was still trembling slightly until now, as if he was a little terrified.
"Shou Zhe, how do you usually take care of your children? Look at your family, Wang Liyao, who makes trouble in the ethnology every day."
Seeing Wang Shouzhe, the old man finally found an outlet to vent his emotions, and attacked sharply.
"Mr. Wang, calm down, calm down. Let me ask about the situation first."
Wang Shouzhe also respected this senior who had been serving the Wang family conscientiously for half his life, so he hurriedly comforted him.
The old man's name is Wang Yangjie, he is a collateral child of the Wang family, and he is also a very outstanding scholar. He has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot of knowledge.
Back then, it was the ancestor Longyan who came forward and recruited him back to serve as a professor in ethnology. He has taught many people, even Wang Shouzhe's predecessor was taught by him, and he has worked hard all his life.
In the new ethnology, therefore, he served as associate dean.
As for the dean, of course Wang Shouzhe made a name for it. It's just that he is usually busy with affairs, and he is basically not in charge of ethnology.
The face of Wang Shouzhe, the head of the family, is still very useful. Seeing him speak, the old man really stopped.
Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe set his sights on his precious daughter.
My daughter is now eight years old, and she has already passed the age of ignorance.
I saw her clasping her hands, feeling angry, and said with some grievances: "Dad, didn't you always say that boys and girls are the same? But the old master always prefers those boys."
"Those boys made mistakes, and he just reprimanded them lightly. But if those girls in the ethnology department made mistakes, the old master always said that they should be driven back. And the old master always said that there should not be those girls in the college. Female mister, reprimand them at every turn. I couldn't get angry, so I went against her."
Wang Shouzhe knew this.
Old man Wang Yangjie does have the problem of patriarchy. At the beginning, Luo Qiu and the others didn't like reading so much, there may not be no reason for this.
Moreover, back then, Luo Qiu, Luo Jing and the others seemed to be against Wang Yangjie.
"Then you can't burn the old master's beard. Since there is a problem, it should be solved." Wang Shouzhe said with a serious face, "Then tell me what to do?"
"I think there must be a female deputy dean in the ethnology." Wang Liyao had obviously thought about this question a long time ago. When Wang Shouzhe asked, she folded her arms and began to talk seriously, "We still have to make a clear decision." According to the rules, whoever makes a mistake must be punished, and boys and girls cannot be treated differently."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Wang Shouzhe said, "However, Yaoyao, your handling method is too radical. First, apologize to the old master."
Wang Liyao respected her father very much, although she still felt wronged, she still apologized honestly.
Then, Wang Shouzhe also cupped his hands to Wang Yangjie and said, "Old Master, I also apologize on behalf of my little girl."
The attitude is very sincere.
Wang Yangjie panicked all of a sudden, and hastily returned the courtesy: "Patriarch Shouzhe, I'm just out of temper for a while, I'm not trying to embarrass Miss Liyao."
Today's Wang Shouzhe is not the brat he taught back then.
Today's Wang Shouzhe, in the entire Ping'an Town, can be said to cover the sky with one hand. Just one word can affect the fate of thousands of people. How dare he accept this gift
"However, there is some truth to what this child said." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, "Our Wang family has come to this day, and there are many women who have made outstanding contributions. Whether it is the aunt Gongsunhui or the ancestor Longyan, they are all girls. Leader, I hope the old master can achieve the words of 'handling with justice'."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Wang Yangjie didn't know why, a chill suddenly rose in his heart, and he hastily and solemnly agreed.
"Yaoyao, are you satisfied with this way?" Wang Shouzhe asked seriously.
"Satisfied. As long as the old master can deal with it fairly, I am also willing to respect him." Wang Liyao also nodded seriously.
"Since that's the case, then we must punish what should be punished." Wang Shouzhe said with a serious expression, "It is said that 'the daughter is not the fault of the father'. It is because your father usually neglects to discipline you that makes you a little domineering and do whatever you want. This Once, Daddy was punished together with you and An An."
"Yes, Daddy." Wang Liyao seemed to know that she was wrong, and accepted the punishment honestly.
But Wang Zongan had a cute face.
Got implicated again.
It's too difficult for me, the young patriarch!
…
Changning Xu.
As an old eighth-rank family with a history of three hundred years, the true background of the Xu family in Changning is by no means as simple as it appears on the outside.
In the deepest part of its main house, there is an ancient hall called "Hall of Tibetan Spirits", which is the ancestral hall where Xu's ancestors are worshipped.
But this is not just a simple shrine.
Inside is enshrined the root of Changning Xu's life, a treasure.
This treasure is called "Zhenlong Stele", and it is a treasure handed down from Xu's family.
Cooperating with the large formation in the Hidden Spirit Hall, it can exert the power to destroy the world. Even if it is a cultivator in the heaven-human realm, he may be suppressed and eventually grind to death.
It's a pity that this "Dragon Town Monument" has quite a few flaws.
For one thing, it cannot be moved and must be used in conjunction with a large formation.
Secondly, it has faint cracks on the surface, obviously the number of times it can be used is not much.
This is also what it should be, otherwise, how can the Xu family in Changning be qualified to gain a foothold in Changning
It is precisely because of the "Suppressing Dragon Stele" this big killer that everyone fears it.
now.
Under the Dragon Town Monument, an old man in gray robe was sitting cross-legged.
His beard and hair are all white, his skin is no longer as smooth as when he was young, and there are already many wrinkles on his forehead, obviously he has entered the state of real old age.
However, his aura is so restrained that no one can detect its depth.
In front of him, stood a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, who was the head of the Xu family, Xu Anbang.
"Old Ancestor, that's how it happened." Xu Anbang said respectfully with his hands down, "According to my inference, it seems that Mrs. Wang's move this time is to help us, but in fact it has another purpose. Most of the purpose is to let us Our Changning Xu family became the first bird, entangled with Huangfu's head-on, and attracted all the firepower of Huangfu's."
Hearing this, the brilliant old man slowly opened his eyes, neither joy nor sadness in his eyes: "Anbang, what do you mean..."
Xu Anbang said in a deep voice: "If we reject Ping An Wang's family, the future must be based on the face of this Huangfu family. Life and death of wealth and honor are all in one's mind. However, if we cooperate with Wang's family, we will completely tear ourselves apart from Huangfu's family. You are so embarrassing, and there is no room for change from now on. This matter is of great importance, and Anbang dare not make the decision, so please ask the ancestors to show you."
A throbbing flashed deep in the gray-robed old man's eyes, and he looked at Xu Anbang: "I felt it from the moment you came in. Since you already have an idea in your heart, why don't you tell me about it."
Xu Anbang took a deep breath and said, "According to my observation, Wang Shouzhe of Ping'an Wang family is not a simple character. This time, he may have a big picture."
He told about some unusual details he discovered when he greeted the personal disciples of Zifu Academy last time, as well as his observation and understanding of Wang Shouzhe during this period.
"Wang Shouzhe seems to be indifferent, but he is extremely cautious and never does anything he is not sure about. His attack on Huangfu's family must have been thoroughly considered. Maybe he has a complete attack on Huangfu. His plan."
"Interesting, interesting~"
A smile flashed across the grey-robed old man's old face.
Back then, Zhouxuan, the ancestor of the Ping'an Wang family, was also a great hero.
Unexpectedly, only a few decades after Zhou Xuan's ancestor passed away, the Ping'an Wang family gave birth to another incredible little guy.
"In that case, let's go crazy with that kid from the Wang family."
The old man in gray robe made a final decision.
Hearing this, Xu Anbang's eyes showed a fiery color: "This is also what Anbang thinks. Our Changning Xu family has been suppressed for so long, it's time for Huangfu to take a look, we are not easy to bully!"
As soon as the words fell, the powerful aura of Lingtai Realm rose from him instantly, full of fighting spirit.
As a three-hundred-year-old eighth-rank family, the Changning Xu family naturally has its own confidence and courage.
…
After dealing with the matter of ethnology, Wang Shouzhe left all other things behind.
With their daughter and son, they joined the embankment construction work as an ordinary family member.
Liu Ruolan rushed over after hearing the news, and joined the team after understanding Wang Shouzhe's intentions.
Both husband and wife understand.
Now is a critical period for children to grow up. It is necessary to teach them by precepts and deeds, so that they can endure hardships and stand hard work, understand the difficulty of life, and establish their correct three views.
If the three views are not right, the body is not right. No matter how great the achievements in the future are, they are just castles in the air, which may collapse one day.
Even if it doesn't collapse, it's probably a scourge.
Wang Shouzhe had seen and heard many such things in his previous life on Earth.
Children have their own independent ideas and oppose the old master's education policy and prejudice, which is not a problem in itself.
The method that can be adopted is thinking too little and doing things only on the spur of the moment, which Wang Shouzhe disagrees with
Moreover, the old master is old and has worked hard for the Wang family all his life. Even if his thinking is really outdated and no longer suitable for the current Wang family, he cannot be treated like this.
thus.
Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan and his wife hid their identities. Take the two children to build the embankment together, so that they can feel the hard work of their ancestors who used their bare hands to open up wasteland in Ping'an Town.
Hiding their identities also allows them to have more contact with ordinary children and civilians.
To prevent them from being superior, with a sense of superiority that they are born to be young ladies and gentlemen.
Not to mention, during this period, even Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan had a lot of insights into life, and felt that it was not easy for ordinary people to survive.
I also felt their willingness to build a home with the Ping An Wang family and build a safe and peaceful habitat for their children and grandchildren.
Naturally, it was also a solid lesson for the pair of children, which is quite beneficial to their future life.
…
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of summer and autumn.
Under the overall situation presided over by Fang You'an, a direct disciple of Zifu Academy, the disastrous consequences of the flood were healed one by one.
The victims were resettled, and the disaster-stricken areas began to be gradually rebuilt. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and life was revived amidst the ruins.
However, in this short period of two or three months, the entire Changning Guard had an undercurrent.
The old eighth-rank family, Changning Xu, and the former Ma Huangfu completely tore up their skins and got into a fight.
Their battle revolved around the raw material of raw silk.
Raw silk was in and around Changningwei, and the price of raw silk was raised again and again, and in a short period of time, it was more than three times the original price.
Even, some shrewd businessmen specially transported raw silk from distant places, taking the opportunity to make a fortune.
However, these two families seemed to have no intention of stopping at all, and continued to rob each family's silkworm farm output at high prices.
In less than three months, both parties have invested more than 200,000 dry gold.
There is no doubt that this is a battle where one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred are harmed.
This is no longer a purely commercial act, but to put the other party to death and completely drive them out of the industry.
Even if the city guard government mediated several times, neither side had the slightest intention of giving up. It was like two gamblers, both of whom had lost their eyes. Down.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the decisions of both parties.
Behind the former Ma Huangfu family there is a faint backing of the heavenly Huangfu family, and the Changning Xu family is not fighting alone, with the in-law family Ping'an Wang family as the backing.
Wang Zongwei of Ping'an Wang Clan is the link.
For several months, he was almost permanently stationed in Changning Town.
this day.
Changning Ping'an Wang's fish stall.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove up the street.
The shop assistants and vendors in the surrounding shops all cast their attention on the carriage.
"That's the carriage of the eldest son Zongwei." A vendor said, "This is another trip to the main residence of the Xu family in Changning."
"Tsk tsk, Mr. Zongwei has been very successful in the past two months. He is the link between the Wang family of Ping'an and the Xu family of Changning. Now the Xu family of Changning and the former Ma Huangfu family are so entangled in the raw silk industry. It is all thanks to King Ping'an With the funds from the rear, the status of the eldest son of Zongwei has risen with the tide."
"Once the Changning Xu family gains a firm foothold, the future eldest son Zongwei will be a very popular figure."
Amidst a series of discussions, the carriage headed towards the east of the city.
What everyone doesn't know is.
This carriage dealer is not only Wang Zongwei alone, but also a very enchanting and charming woman.
Her body exudes a seductive charm, as if every smile and frown are all charming.
But Wang Zongwei was sitting upright, with his head down, not daring to look at her more.
It was as if the woman in front of her was an untouchable femme fatale.
"Hehehe." The charming woman's beautiful eyes burst into a coquettish smile, "Master Zongwei, are you afraid that my concubine will eat you? I heard that you recently won a lot of money in the Fa Cai gambling house."
"This..." A drop of cold sweat dripped from Wang Zongwei's forehead, and he said in a weak voice, "Miss Mei, don't be joking, I just follow orders, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go to the gambling house again if I was killed."
Although she is only a family general, there are differences between family generals. Moreover, she is very skillful, as if her eyes are everywhere, and she knows every move like the back of the palm of her hand.
Once you offend her, I'm afraid life will be difficult.
"Forget it, it's really boring to see you being so nervous." The charming woman suddenly put on a pretty face amidst her coquettish laughter, "However, don't call me wrong. My concubine's name is Mrs. Ji."
"Yes, Mrs. Ji." Wang Zongwei replied honestly, with some hesitation, "I don't know Mrs. Ji, what is the purpose of looking for me this time?"
When it came to the business, the charming woman also straightened her face, and there was a trace of fanaticism in her eyes: "I have received the secret order from the Patriarch, and the entire network has been set up, and you can act. This is the secret order document from the Patriarch. , let you fully cooperate with this big operation."
For the big move, Wang Zhongwei's eyes tightened, he checked the secret order, and was convinced that it was true.
Although there is a trace of fear in my heart. But he still said solemnly: "For the ancestors, for the Wang family, and for my wife and children."
"But according to Madam Ji's orders."
"Hehehe!" Mrs. Ji's laughter was extraordinarily enchanting and charming, "Master Zongwei, don't be nervous, your task part is not difficult, but your meritorious service is extremely high, so you will be envied by others."
Although that laughter made Wang Zongwei's hairs stand on end, but there was a trace of enthusiasm in his heart.
That's right, his mission merit value this time is very high.
If he earns a large amount of merit points and borrows more money, he can exchange for a Spiritual Enlightenment Pill and a drop of stone marrow for the child.
With the stone marrow and Qiling Pill, Shi Ning's child will have a much higher start in the future.
…
