"It's not that, it's just that grandpa said that my sister will get married in less than two years." Wang Luojing pouted and said, "It's better to help my brother improve his cultivation."
"Fourth brother, I gave it to my brother voluntarily. You, please don't blame him." Wang Ruotong explained nervously.
According to clan rules, those who appropriate others' resources within the clan will be severely punished. However, those who voluntarily give resources are not within the scope of punishment.
"well!"
Wang Shouzhe sighed heavily in his heart. It seemed that the fourth old man was a little more patriarchal, but this was basically a common phenomenon in the Wang family nowadays. It was all caused by poor words.
Wang Shounuo was not as good as Wang Shouzhe. Even though he was a direct descendant of the clan, and his talents were easy to be cultivated as the first rank, the resources that could usually be allocated were naturally far inferior.
But in the practice of Xuanwu, it is natural that the younger you can go, the higher the better. Otherwise, when you get older, your body will decline and it will become more and more difficult to improve your cultivation. The fourth old man probably had no choice, so he persuaded Wang Ruotong to help Wang Shounuo.
"It's okay, it's all my fault." Wang Shouzhe sighed, "I took up too many resources by myself, which inadvertently caused my brothers, sisters, and sisters to lose a lot of their share."
"Fourth brother is a direct descendant, highly talented, and the backbone of the family. He should allocate more resources." Wang Luotong's eyes showed some admiration and hope, "I heard from grandpa that the fourth brother's talent is compared to that of the Longyan ancestor.
We are only a little short of it, and there is great hope to break through to the Lingtai realm in the future. As long as the fourth brother becomes the ancestor of the Lingtai, our Wang family's life will be easier."
"Yes, yes, I also heard that Fourth Brother, you have been admitted to Zifu Academy." Wang Luojing also said excitedly with her eyes wide open, "If something hadn't happened to Fifth Uncle this time, Fourth Brother would have to stand up and become the leader of the clan.
Fourth brother, are you going to Zifu Academy now? I heard that there are beautiful sisters everywhere in Zifu Academy. If fourth brother goes, he will definitely be able to marry one back."
Zifu Academy!
This is a holy land of dreams for young people in the entire Changning area, an unattainable dream.
"Don't talk nonsense, what are you thinking about, you little yellow-haired girl?" Wang Shouzhe glared at her with a smile and stuffed a few pieces of candied fruit into her, "I haven't passed the final assessment yet. If I don't keep it all, I'll be kicked out.
Come down."
While he was laughing and joking, Wang Shouzhe felt heavy pressure. It was the pressure that the entire clan had their hopes on him.
"In short, the fourth brother is the strongest." Wang Luojing obviously has a blind respect for him.
"The strength of a family cannot be achieved by one person." Wang Shouzhe looked at Wang Luojing with a smile, "You are also a member of the family, so you have to work hard. I think your talent is not bad. You are already at the Qi Refining Realm at a young age.
You have reached a higher level. If you work hard, you might be admitted to the Zifu Academy in the future and be as outstanding as the ancestor Longyan."
"Hmm, Jing'er will definitely work hard." Wang Luojing's eyes were full of hope, "At least I won't let Sister Luoqiu surpass me anymore."
Luoqiu?
"Is it Wang Luoqiu from the third uncle's family?" Wang Shouzhe said curiously, "Is she already at the peak level and about to break through?"
"We have already achieved a breakthrough." Wang Luojing pouted and said a little unhappy, "You came here to show off to me some time ago."
"This talent is quite good." Wang Shouzhe said a little surprised, "Remember she is only eleven years old, right?" This talent seems to be not inferior to that of Wang Shouzhe.
It seems that the younger generation of the Wang family is no worse than the Liu family and the Zhao family, but because of resource problems, their growth is not high. He frowned and kept thinking.
Take the Liu family Liu Yongzhou as an example. The fifth-level senior figure at the age of 23 or 4 is considered relatively outstanding among the younger generation. If Wang Luotong is given ample training resources, her future achievements may not necessarily be better than those of Liu Yongzhou.
Yongzhou difference.
It's a pity that, firstly, she is a woman. Secondly, her family is too poor.
Later, Wang Shouzhe tested their cultural subjects intentionally or unintentionally, but found that they were all average in this area, especially in arithmetic.
This made Wang Shouzhe's face darken, and he reprimanded directly: "It's too embarrassing for you, your beautiful heads are empty. Although the Xuanwu family is founded on martial arts, its culture and knowledge are also the foundation of a family's inheritance."
"Fourth brother, we don't dare anymore, we don't dare anymore."
"After I go back this time, I will study hard. I will take the exam again in three months."
"oh!"
Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing both had their heads drooped.
…
From Wang's main house to Fenggu Farm, there is only a dozen miles of land. The road is a hard-paved dirt road that can be crossed by two carriages. Wheat is planted on both sides of the dirt road, making the journey very smooth.
It is the beginning of midsummer, and the vegetation on both sides is luxuriant and full of vitality. Pieces of green wheat are floating in the wind, like blue waves on the sea. This season is when the wheat ears are filling, and the wind is bright and the sun is abundant. It is obviously a good time.
Omen.
While Wang Shouzhe was talking to his two sisters, he arrived at Fenggu Farm within half an hour.
Most of the farms are located in areas with relatively fertile land. This land is close to the main stream of Anjiang River for seven or eight miles, and a small tributary about ten feet wide winds down and passes through Fenggu Farm.
The ancestors also cut off the tributaries and opened up several horizontal ditches with a width of three feet, making this water area look like a large "Feng" when viewed from a high altitude, so the ancestors named it Fenggu Farm.
Rows of well-proportioned houses are built along the Feng-shaped water source. Although the houses are simple, they all have small front and back yards. In the yards, some fruits and vegetables can be planted, some chickens can be raised, and there are some simple stone courtyards in the backyards.
Quality steps lead to the river ditch, which can be used for washing and cooking.
In the large and small river ditches, there are also flocks of ducks and geese playing and hunting, quacking and quacking in a lively manner.
In front of the house is cultivated and maintained fertile land, with patches of wheat fields swaying in the wind, extremely majestic and beautiful.
What a pastoral scenery.
Wang Shouzhe, who has lived in the city for a long time, was instantly attracted by this comfortable and leisurely scene. When he first traveled through time, his understanding of the fantasy world was limited to fighting and killing.
But I never imagined that there would be such beautiful pastoral scenery.
The family generals had come to report before, but despite this, Wang Shouzhe and his two sisters waited in front of the river bank for two quarters of an hour before Wang Xiaozhi walked out from the depths of the vast farmland.
He was over seventy years old, and his skin was tanned, but he was still energetic. He took off his straw hat and greeted Wang Shouzhe. He smiled and said, "Why are Shouzhe free to come here today?"
"Fourth Grandpa." Wang Shouzhe bowed politely.
"Grandpa." Two girls, Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing, obediently saluted Wang Xiaozhi.
"What are you two girls doing here, other than studying and practicing at home?" Wang Xiaozhi, the fourth old man, frowned slightly and scolded, "There are many snakes, rats, rats and ants in the fields. What's the fun?"
The two girls' faces turned pale after being scolded, and they lowered their heads weakly and did not dare to speak.
"Fourth Grandpa," Wang Shouzhe said helpfully, "the fourth and fifth sisters missed you, so I took them to visit you without permission. I don't blame them."
"Shouzhe, don't be too indulging in their temperament. Otherwise, when you get married, you will always feel wronged in your husband's house." Wang Xiaozhi's attitude towards Wang Shouzhe was much kinder, "It's a coincidence that you came here today. Yesterday,
There is a group of pigs that come to the wheat field to feed at night. The big pig has been hunted and killed by us. It has been stewing in a pot since morning. Come on, Fourth Grandpa will treat you to wine and meat."
"Let me tell you, when I got up this morning, I wanted to come to the farm on a whim. It turns out that I am blessed in my heart. I smelled that Grandpa Fourth had delicious food here from afar." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "It seems that I am really lucky.
"
"You are the backbone of our family, of course you are lucky." Wang Xiaozhi smiled and led Wang Shouzhe into the main courtyard of the farm, and the two girls followed step by step.
The main courtyard of the farm is a mixed structure of bricks, tiles and wood. It is relatively simple and simple in shape. It is mainly used for the residence of the left-behind tribesmen, generals, servants, etc. There are some farm tools facing the corners of the courtyard, and there are also some free-range chickens. It is like a farmhouse.
style.
Wang Xiaozhi greeted Wang Shouzhe in the courtyard. It was a stone round table with five or six stone round stools placed around it. After several peasant women laid out some fruits and tea, they began to work in the kitchen.
During this period, the two girls were also driven by Wang Xiaozhi to help in the kitchen. According to his theory, girls should have more contact with the kitchen so that they would not suffer a disadvantage in their husband's family in the future.
Wang Shouzhe knew that this was a tradition in the Xuanwu world. Although the Xuanwu family would have dedicated cooks, cooking some food with one's own hands represented one's sincerity.
Just like the aunt Gongsun Hui, she often cooks delicious dishes for Wang Dingyue and Wang Shouzhe herself, which represents a close relationship with each other.
