…
I have to admit that women are often more delicate than men in this regard.
Although Wang Shouzhe can't be said to be a straight man of steel, after all, he has little thought about this aspect. If it weren't for the reminders from the aunt Gongsunhui and sister Luomiao, Bao Buqi would never have thought of sending some gifts.
Fortunately, at least through the silent interaction with Liu Ruolan this time, he probably understood what Liu Ruolan meant.
"Yuan Rui, go back and tell your sister for me, I understand what she means." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly.
ah
Liu Yuanrui was stunned, what does sister mean? What do you mean sister? Could it be that my sister is still hiding some secret secret in this return gift
Although he is quite talented, he is still young after all.
And boys are always less thoughtful than girls in this regard.
Putting this topic aside for now, Wang Shouzhe chatted with Liu Yuanrui again.
Aunt Gongsun Hui left for the time being.
Half an hour passed.
Outside the main hall, Gongsun Hui's voice came in: "Shouzhe, your great-grandfather is here, come out to greet him."
Great-grandfather
Wang Shouzhe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately greeted him with a look of joy on his face. And Liu Yuanrui was also slightly curious, and went out together.
Outside the main hall of the main house.
Standing tall is a tall man in a gray robe, his appearance is only that of a middle-aged man. But if you stop there casually, you will have a majestic and unfathomable bearing like a mountain.
The aunt, Gongsun Hui, stood by his side with her hands down, obediently like a little girl.
"Shouzhe pays homage to Patriarch Wu." Wang Shouzhe hastily stepped forward to salute.
"Shouzhe is exempt from courtesy."
This gray-robed man is naturally one of the two ancestors of the Gongsun family—Gongsun Shu, who is honored as the ancestor of the family inside and outside the family.
At this time, Old Ancestor Wu was also looking up and down at Wang Shouzhe, and couldn't help showing a gratified and satisfied smile: "Not bad, Shou Zhe, you have reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm at a young age, which is not easy."
Of course, what he is most satisfied with Wang Shouzhe is not his progress in cultivation, but his way of dealing with the world, his style of doing things, and some methods of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.
"My patriarch is amazing." Wang Shouzhe said respectfully and humbly, "Shouzhe is only relying on his family resources to achieve what he is today. Patriarch, why didn't you inform in advance that Shouzhe can go to meet you , such and such, I, Mrs. Wang, are too rude."
"Come here this time, it's a secret matter, so you can't make a big show of it, how can you be rude?" Old Ancestor Wu smiled heartily, "I have heard Hui'er talk about your plan and plan. Well done , Those jackals should be taught a lesson severely."
Wang Shouzhe clasped his hands and said, "Shouzhe would like to thank Patriarch Mi for his support, and please move Patriarch to the main hall, so Shouzhe will entertain him."
"No need for now." After waving his hands with a smile, Old Ancestor Wu put his eyes on Liu Yuanrui and smiled calmly, "This child bears the aura of Liu's kung fu "Yuan Shui Xin Jue", could it be Liu's child?"
Wang Shouzhe said: "Old Ancestor, this is Liu Yuanrui, the younger brother of Shouzhe's fiancée Liu Ruolan."
Liu Yuanrui's whole body trembled, and he also recovered from the shock at the beginning, and hastily stepped forward to pay his respects: "Mr. Liu Yuanrui, pay respects to Patriarch Mi."
The Liu family and the Gongsun family are at odds, but only at the level of disharmony, the two sides are not incompatible enemies. It doesn't mean that the juniors can be rude and disrespectful at will when they see their ancestor-level elders.
"It turned out to be a child of Liu's Yuan family. I met your elder brother Yuanhui a while ago. That child is quite a spiritual platform. With Liu's current financial resources, he can be raised. It's just that you, a child, are not breathing well. , the whole body is loose and loose, you need to practice more hard in the future, no one can say for sure whether you can take the road to the Lingtai in the future, so don't give up at will." The old ancestor Wu is quite a senior, and he also mentioned a few words.
"Yes, this junior must work hard." Liu Yuanrui's forehead was sweating. Generally, what the ancestors said cannot be contradicted face to face, even if it is the ancestors of other people.
After greeting each other.
Aunt Gongsunhui bowed to the old ancestor: "Grandpa, my granddaughter has passed through the old ancestor Longyan before. She has been waiting for a long time, so let's go there now?"
As soon as the ancestor of Longyan was mentioned, even the expression of the ancestor of Longyan became serious, and he said with some respect in his eyes: "Hui'er, please lead the way. I haven't seen my aunt and her old man for a long time."
Old Ancestor Wu's mother is Queen Lingdie, the fourth generation of the Wang family, and she is Ancestor Longyan's biological niece. Therefore, Patriarch Longyan is the great-aunt of Patriarch Wu.
Gongsun Hui leads the way, and the old ancestor Mi follows.
And Wang Shouzhe and Liu Yuanrui, the two juniors, naturally followed behind them step by step.
Notify the ancestor of Longyan, and then enter the back of Longyan residence.
Patriarch Longyan was already waiting in the courtyard. She had white hair, a veil, and plain dress.
Wang Mei pretends to be Zhong Luoxian, whose temperament is comparable to that of her old man, as if the difference between heaven and earth is cloud and mud.
Ancestor Wu was the first to go up to pay respects, bowed and said, "Gongsun Wu, pay respects to Grandma Longyan."
"Mu'er." A trace of sigh passed through the eyes of the ancestor Longyan as deep as the starry sky, "Every time I see you, I can't help but think of the past. When I think of your mother when she was young, she always I hope that when I come back from the school to visit relatives, she will have rare and delicious snacks. This time, it seems like a fleeting moment, and things change in the blink of an eye."
Listening to Longyan's ancestor's emotion, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but smile in his heart and suddenly realized that Lingdie, the ancestor's mother, was also a foodie when she was young.
No wonder, Patriarch Longyan doted on that poor girl Wang Lici very much, so it turned out that she saw the shadow of her niece when she was a child.
"Grandma, my mother is living a peaceful life with no difficulties and no worries. Don't be sad, Patriarch," said Patriarch Wu comfortingly.
In fact, only Patriarch Wu knew that although his mother Wang Lingdie lived to be eighty years old, she had been suffering from angina pectoris for the next twenty years, which could not be cured.
That was because of the death of her mother's family. She felt sorry for her ancestors, and even more so for her Aunt Longyan and her elder brother Qiongyuan. No matter how good the pill is, it can only heal the body but not the heart.
He even remembered that twenty-five years ago, before his mother Wang Lingdie passed away, she held his hand and told her, if there is an opportunity in the future, she must support the Wang family.
He remembered all these words.
Otherwise, why would Gongsun Hui go to renew Wang Dingyue? If not for his Gongsun Shu to push behind, Gongsun Mo would not necessarily agree to the continuation of the marriage, and the other elders would not agree.
"Ancestor Longyan, Ancestor Wu." Wang Shouzhe persuaded, "Let's sit down and talk first. The past is over, and we have to look forward to a better future."
The two ancestors were not mortals either, so they withdrew their emotions immediately and sat down on the stone benches in the gazebo one after another.
Only now did Liu Yuanrui have the opportunity to come forward to pay his respects: "Mr. Liu Yuanrui, pay respects to Patriarch Longyan."
The ancestor Longyan once went to the Liu family in person to make an appointment for Wang Shouzhe. Naturally, he was no stranger to the younger generation of the Liu family, and immediately softened his voice a little: "This child Yuanrui has the temperament of a scholar. Taking the road of official career is also a way out. However, studying belongs to studying, so don't delay your cultivation."
With the eyesight of the ancestor Longyan, he naturally saw Liu Yuanrui's problem at a glance.
"Yes, Patriarch." Liu Yuanrui broke out in a cold sweat, having already been criticized by the two Patriarchs today.
I thought to myself, after going back this time, I must work hard to cultivate.
Also, he never expected that brother Shou Zhe has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, and he is not inferior to his 21-year-old brother Liu Yuanhui in the slightest.
With such potential, it is no wonder that the family finally agreed to this marriage.
Just imagine, in the situation that the Wang family is facing, if Wang Shouzhe has no support value. I'm afraid that even if Patriarch Longyan has a lot of face, he will definitely not open his mouth to Liu Shi.
Gongsun Hui began to make tea and serve the two ancestors virtuously, using the little spirit species of Shanyang. I also don't know when she came back from her mother's house, and fresh melons and fruits were also placed on the table.
The two juniors, Wang Shouzhe and Liu Yuanrui, stood aside obediently, listening to their conversation obediently.
After a while, the two began to talk about Wang Shouzhe.
First, there was the insect infestation incident, and then I don't know why they got a large amount of food from Qian's business. Immediately, the grain was sold to the Zhao family and the Liu family at a high price.
But now, he started to attack Liu's and Zhao's annexation plans.
One ring within another, trapping Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhao into a trap from which they cannot advance or retreat. They spent a lot of money to eat old food, and they wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a big profit.
But now Wang Shouzhe uses the large-scale project of dredging and filling the soil to provide relief with labor, which saves wages and saves the self-cultivated farmers who are about to be murdered by the Liu family and the Zhao family from famine, and smashes the Liu family and the Zhao family. s plan.
They stole chickens and lost money. Not only did they ruin their reputation, but they didn't get any benefits, and they also threw a large amount of high-priced old grain into their hands. And after such an encounter, the reputation of the Wang family among the civilians in Ping'an Town will completely crush the Liu family and the Zhao family.
Ancestor Wu praised Wang Shouzhe endlessly.
And Liu Yuanrui's eyes widened, his heart became more and more shocked, brother Shou Zhe, the future brother-in-law, is too fierce, right? This series of operations was dazzling, digging pits and burying people was not counted, and it also reaped huge benefits for the Wang family.
Even the two patriarchs are here to listen to him and assist him in handling follow-up matters.
At this time, Patriarch Longyan gave Wang Shouzhe a more meaningful look. When Liu Yuanrui mentioned so many things in front of him, he naturally wanted him to go back and tell Liu Shi.
It may be called Liu's internal affairs, some gossip and chatter have subsided a little.
However, the ancestor of Longyan knows the inside story that is not known to the public, and some "records" that Wang Shouzhe can publicize to the outside world can only be limited to this.
His plan for the second half is not only more ferocious, but also must not be leaked to the outside world. This is already related to the future rise of the Wang family!
Wang Longyan knew very well that there were still some families in the Changning Weicheng who were very unwilling to see the rise of the Wang family.
All of a sudden!
There was a slight flicker of coldness in her eyes.
Now that her injuries are gradually recovering, it will be time for her, Wang Longyan, to pay back her old debts little by little.
