Wang Koushi bent down and filled the empty tea bowl in front of Wang Shu with tea, and said with a smile.
Wang Shu picked up the tea bowl, tasted it, and asked, "What's a good way?"
Wang Kou sat sideways on the chair next to Wang Shu, facing Wang Shu, and sighed: "Yuan'er said a few disrespectful words to him today. Instead of blaming Yuan'er, he actually spoke for Yuan'er.
"
Wang Shu's face darkened and he frowned: "What did this traitor say?"
Regarding his son, Wang Shu knew very well that any words that could be deemed disrespectful by Wang Kou must be offensive.
When Wang Kou saw Wang Shu's expression, she knew that Wang Shu was already upset. She quickly spoke out to defend Wang Yuan, "Yuan'er didn't say anything, Ji'er is not an outsider, even though Yuan'er said a few words
Ji'er wouldn't blame him if he did.
Besides, I have already taken the place of Yuan'er, so I have done my fault for Ji'er."
Wang Shu heard that Wang Kou had committed a crime against Kou Jipai on Wang Yuan's behalf, so he didn't go into details further.
He glared at Mr. Wang Kou and snorted coldly: "If you just let that traitor get used to you, sooner or later he will cause a huge disaster."
Wang Shu had said this no less than a thousand times, and Wang Kou didn't pay attention, just kept smiling.
"Why……"
Wang Shu sighed and murmured: "If that traitor was half as good as Kou Ji, I would be relieved."
When Wang Kou heard this, she was a little unhappy. She argued: "Yuan'er is not as good as Kou Ji? He is just young and not sensible now. When he is older, he will be sensible."
If Yuan'er becomes an official, with you and my father helping him, his achievements will definitely be higher than Kou Ji's."
Wang Shu opened his mouth and wanted to refute.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He knew that once he opened his mouth to criticize his son, Wang Kou would definitely defend his son and quarrel with him.
He had been busy all day and no longer had the time or energy to argue with Wang Kou.
Wang Shu changed the topic and said: "Today when I went to visit Prime Minister Li's house, I bumped into Mr. Xiang."
Seeing that Wang Shu no longer scolded Wang Yuan, Wang Kou felt very happy. When she heard Wang Shu's words, she subconsciously raised her eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "Xiang Minzhong?"
Wang Shu nodded.
Wang Kou said in confusion: "I heard that Mr. Xiang has been living in seclusion in the mansion since his begging for bones was rejected. He rarely leaves the mansion except when he is teaching the prince.
Why did you appear at Xianggong Li's house?"
Wang Shu clicked his lips, glanced at Wang Kou, and said quietly: "If I said that he came to Li's Mansion just to see me, would you believe it?"
Mrs. Wang Kou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Are you playing tricks on me? If Mr. Xiang wants to see you, he can just recruit you to live in the house. Why go to the Li Mansion? It's so troublesome."
Wang Shu sighed: "I didn't believe it at first, but after knowing Xiang Gong's request, I believed it. When he came to Li's house, he rushed to me."
Mrs. Wang Kou looked surprised at first, and then asked curiously: "Is there anything Mr. Xiang wants you to do?"
Wang Shu nodded and said with a smile: "It's a happy event to say the least. Nian Fang, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Xiang, was interested in marrying Ji'er. He was embarrassed to speak, so he asked Prime Minister Li to reveal the matter.
He hopes that I can mediate and facilitate this marriage."
When Wang Kou heard this, he was shocked and said: "Dong Xiang wants to betroth his eldest granddaughter to Kou Ji?"
Wang Shu smiled and said: "It's surprising?"
Wang Kou rolled her eyes and said with a wry smile: "Is it not surprising? The Xiang Mansion is full of officials, and everyone in Bianjing knows how important their legitimate daughter is.
Mrs. Wang had met the legitimate daughter of the Xiang Mansion. When she was with her concubine, she praised the legitimate daughter of the Xiang Mansion as being unparalleled in heaven and earth.
It is said that the legitimate daughter of Xiang Mansion is well-educated and talented. She is a rare talented woman.
And he looks quite handsome.
She is even more handsome than ordinary women.
It seems that there are not many women in Bianjing who are beautiful, talented and of good family background.
I heard that on weekdays, there are countless people who come to Xiangfu to ask for marriage.
Xiang Gong didn't even agree.
Why did you suddenly think of marrying her to Kou Ji?"
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Is Xiang Mansion's legitimate daughter as good as you say?"
Wang Koushi nodded heavily.
Wang Shu nodded slowly and said thoughtfully: "In this case, it is quite good to match Ji'er..."
"What's so good? I look like you're a long way from it."
Wang Kou said with a snort: "Kou Ji hasn't gone to school for a few years, and he hasn't been in Bianjing for a long time. He can be an official only because of the support of you and my father. How can he be worthy of the Xiang Mansion?"
The legitimate daughter."
Wang Shu opened his mouth to refute.
Then Wang Kou said again: "As for me, the only person who is worthy of the legitimate daughter of Xiang Mansion is our Yuan'er. Yuan'er studied hard with my father since he was a child, and when he grew up, he went to Taixue.
He studied knowledge intensively with many Taixue doctors.
Nowadays, I dare not say that there is a great success in learning, but there are still some small achievements.
Among the peers in Bianjing City, there are only a few who can match Yuan'er's knowledge.
The family status of the Wang and Kou families is not inferior to that of the Xiang family.
Yuan'er is also the eldest son of the royal family.
She is a perfect match for the legitimate daughter of the Xiang Mansion."
Wang Shu said blankly: "According to what you say, the legitimate daughter of Xiang Mansion is a good match for Yuan'er?"
Mrs. Wang Kou said proudly: "I don't look down upon the legitimate daughter of someone else's house."
Wang Shu frowned and said, "But the one Xiang Gong values is Ji'er..."
Wang Kou curled his lips disdainfully and said: "That's because he has never seen our Yuan'er and doesn't know that our Yuan'er is better than Kou Ji. He must have been bored in the house for the past two years and has taken a small look at the scholars in Bianjing City.
.
That’s why I treat Kou Ji as my treasure.”
Before Wang Shu could speak, Wang Kou said again: "Go to the Li Mansion tomorrow and talk to Mr. Li, and ask him to help Yuan'er in front of Mr. Xiang."
Wang Shu hesitated and said: "Yuan'er..."
Wang Shu knew very well how much Wang Yuan had weighed.
In terms of familiarity with the Five Classics, Wang Yuan may be better than Kou Ji.
But in terms of dealing with people, Wang Yuan was much inferior to Kou Ji.
When Wang Kou saw Wang Shu's hesitant expression, she immediately glared and said angrily, "What? Are you planning to give Kou Ji a well-educated and sensible daughter-in-law?
Yuan'er is your son, Kou Ji is just your nephew!
Not the biological kind.
Which one is lighter and which one is more serious, you can’t tell?”
Wang Shu frowned, glanced at Wang Kou, and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether Kou Ji is the grandson of his father-in-law or not, he is now his biological grandson. Don't say this again in the future, or else he will be criticized by others.
If you know it, you will not only look down upon my palace, but also look down upon the Kou Mansion."
Wang Kou curled her lips and whispered: "I'm not wrong..."
Wang Shu glared at her, and she shut her mouth knowingly.
Wang Shu frowned and said: "Of course I won't push out a good daughter-in-law. Regarding Yuan'er's matter, I will ask Mr. Li to speak out. But if Xiang Guilin won't agree, then I can't make the decision."
