I have to admit that women are often much more delicate than men in this regard.
Although Wang Shouzhe cannot be said to be a straight man, he is not very thoughtful in this regard. Without the reminders from his aunt Gongsun Hui and sister Luo Miao, Bao Buqi would never have thought of sending some gifts.
Fortunately, at least through this silent interaction with Liu Ruolan, he roughly understood what Liu Ruolan meant.
"Yuan Rui, go back and tell your sister for me that I understand what she means." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly.
ah?
Liu Yuanrui was confused. What does sister mean? What does sister mean? Could it be that sister is hiding some 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 aside this topic for the time being, Wang Shouzhe chatted with Liu Yuanrui again.
Grandma Gongsun Hui took her leave for now.
Less than 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 went out with a look of joy on his face. Liu Yuanrui was also slightly curious and followed him out.
Outside the main hall of the main house.
Standing there is a tall man in gray robe. His appearance is just that of a middle-aged man. But as soon as he stops there casually, he has a majestic and unfathomable aura like a mountain.
The aunt, Gongsun Hui, stood by his side with her hands down, as obediently as a little girl.
"Shouzhe pays homage to Ancestor Jie." Wang Shouzhe hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"If you stick to your principles, you won't have to pay homage."
This gray-robed man is naturally one of the two ancestors of the Gongsun family - Gongsun Jian. He is called Patriarch Jie both inside and outside the family.
At this time, Ancestor Jian was also looking Wang Shouzhe up and down, and couldn't help but reveal a happy and satisfied smile: "That's right, Shouzhe, you have reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm at such a young age. It's not easy."
Of course, what he was most satisfied with Wang Shouzhe was not his cultivation progress, but his conduct, style of conduct and some of his methods of turning clouds and rain.
"Ancestor Jie is ridiculous." Wang Shouzhe said respectfully and modestly, "Shouzhe only relied on his family's resources to achieve what he has achieved today. Ancestor, you are coming, why don't you inform in advance so that Shouzhe can go and greet you?
, such and such, it is too rude of me, Mrs. Wang."
"I came here this time to do things in secret, so I can't make a big show of it. How can I not be rude?" Ancestor Jie said with a hearty smile, "I have heard Hui'er tell you about your plans and plans. Well done.
, those jackals should be taught a severe lesson."
Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "Shouzhe thanks Ancestor Jie for your support, and please ask Ancestor to move to the main hall so that Shouzhe can entertain us."
"No need for the moment." Patriarch Jie waved with a smile, then turned his attention to Liu Yuanrui and smiled lightly, "This child has the aura of Liu's Kung Fu "Yuan Shui Xin Jue", could he be Liu's child?"
Wang Shouzhe said: "Ancestor, this is Liu Yuanrui, the younger brother of Shouzhe's fiancée Liu Ruolan."
Liu Yuanrui was agitated, and he recovered from the initial shock, and hurriedly came forward to pay homage: "Liu Yuanrui, pay homage to Ancestor Jie."
The Liu family and the Gongsun family are not in harmony, but it is only at the level of disharmony. The two parties are not incompatible enemies. It does not mean that the younger generation can look at their elders rudely and rudely when they see them.
"It turns out that he is a child of the Yuan generation of the Liu family. I met your brother Yuanhui some time ago. That child is quite a spiritual figure. With the current financial resources of the Liu family, he can afford to raise him. It's just that your child's breath is unstable.
, My muscles and bones all over my body are loose and loose. You must practice more diligently in the future. No one can say whether you can take the road to Lingtai in the future. Don’t give up casually." Patriarch Jie had the style of a senior and gave a few words of advice.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard." Liu Yuanrui's forehead was dripping with sweat. Generally speaking, what an ancestor says cannot be contradicted in person, even if it is someone else's ancestor.
After all the pleasantries.
Grandma Gongsun Hui bowed to Patriarch Jie: "Grandpa, my granddaughter has had an affair with Patriarch Longyan before. She has been waiting for a long time, shall we go over now?"
As soon as Patriarch Longyan was mentioned, Patriarch Jie's expression became serious, and he said with some respect in his eyes: "Hui'er, please lead the way. I haven't seen my aunt for a long time."
Ancestor Jian’s mother is the fourth-generation Queen Lingdie of the Wang family. She is the niece of Ancestor Longyan. Therefore, Ancestor Longyan is Ancestor Jian’s aunt.
Gongsun Hui led the way, and Patriarch Jie followed.
The two juniors, Wang Shouzhe and Liu Yuanrui, naturally followed behind them step by step.
Notify Longyan Ancestor, and then enter the back of Longyan Residence.
Ancestor Longyan was already waiting in the courtyard. She had white hair shawl, wore a veil, and wore a simple dress. She was so unworldly and uncontaminated, without the slightest trace of fireworks, as if she was a real banished immortal descending to earth.
The temperament of the Zhong Luoxian pretended to be by Wang Mei is as different as that of her old man.
Ancestor Jian was the first to go up and pay homage, bowing and saying: "Gongsun Jian, pay homage to Aunt Longyan."
"Jian'er." Ancestor Longyan's eyes as deep as the starry sky also flashed with a hint of sadness, "Every time I see you, I can't help but think of all the past. When I think of your mother when she was young, she always
She is looking forward to my return from the academy to visit relatives, so that she can have rare and delicious snacks. This time is like a fleeting moment, and everything changes in the blink of an eye."
Listening to Patriarch Longyan's emotion, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but smile and suddenly realized that Patriarch Jie's mother, Aunt Lingdie, was also a foodie when she was a child.
No wonder, Patriarch Longyan was very fond of that poor girl Wang Lici. It turned out that he saw the shadow of his childhood niece in her.
"Auntie, my mother has lived a peaceful life in this life, with no troubles or worries. Ancestor, please don't be sad." Ancestor Jie comforted her.
In fact, only Ancestor Jian himself knew that although his mother, Wang Lingdie, lived to be eighty years old, she had been suffering from angina pectoris for the past twenty years and could not be cured no matter what.
That was because of the death of her mother's clan. She felt sorry for her ancestors, and even more so for her Aunt Longyan and her brother Qiongyuan. No matter how good the elixir was, it could only heal the body but not the mind.
He even remembered that twenty-five years ago, before his mother Wang Lingdie passed away, she once held his hand and told her, Jie'er, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must support the Wang family.
He remembered all these words.
Otherwise, why would Gongsun Hui go to renew Wang Dingyue's marriage? Without Gongsun Jian's push, Gongsun Mo would not necessarily agree to the marriage renewal, and the other elders would not agree either.
"Ancestor Longyan, Ancestor Jie." Wang Shouzhe advised, "Let's sit down and talk first. The past is over, and we have to look forward to a bright future."
The two ancestor-level figures were not mortals. They immediately recovered their emotions and sat down on the stone benches in the pavilion one after another.
Only then did Liu Yuanrui have the opportunity to step forward and pay homage: "Liu Yuanrui, pay homage to Longyan Ancestor."
Ancestor Longyan once went to the Liu family in person to arrange a marriage for Wang Shouzhe. Naturally, he was no stranger to the younger generation of the Liu family. His voice softened a bit and he said, "This kid Yuan Rui has the temperament of a scholar. He seems to be ready."
Taking the road of official career is also a way out. But studying is study, and don't delay your cultivation."
With Patriarch Longyan's eyesight, he could naturally see Liu Yuanrui's problem at a glance.
"Yes, Ancestor." Liu Yuanrui broke into a cold sweat. He had already been criticized by two Ancestors today.
I kept thinking in my heart that after returning home this time, I must work hard to practice.
Furthermore, he never expected that Brother Shouzhe would already be at the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, and he was not inferior in any way to his 21-year-old brother Liu Yuanhui.
With such potential, it is no wonder that the family finally agreed to this marriage.
Just imagine, given the situation that the Wang family is facing, if Wang Shouzhe has no value in supporting him, I am afraid that no matter how much face Longyan Patriarch has, he will definitely not be able to open his mouth to the Liu family.
Gongsun Hui began to make tea virtuously to serve the two ancestors, using the Shanyang Xiaoling species. I don’t know when she came back from her parents’ home, and she also put fresh fruits and other things on the table.
The two juniors, Wang Shouzhe and Liu Yuanrui, stood aside obediently and listened to their conversation.
After a long while, the two began to talk about Wang Shouzhe.
First, there was the insect plague incident, and then, for some reason, he obtained a large sum of grain from Qian's Trading Company. Then, he used this grain to sell it to the Zhao family and the Liu family at a high price.
And now, he has begun to attack the Liu family and Zhao family's merger plan.
One ring within another, the Liu family and the Zhao family were trapped in a trap where they could not advance or retreat. They spent a high price to eat old grains, just to take advantage of the situation and make a lot of money.
But now Wang Shouzhe is using the large-scale dredging and filling project to provide work-for-relief, which not only saves wages, but also saves the farmers who are about to be poisoned by the Liu family and Zhao family from famine, and crushes the Liu family and Zhao family.
plan of.
They stole the chicken but lost the rice. They ruined their reputation. Not only did they not get any benefits, but they also lost a large amount of high-priced old grain in their hands. And after this, the Wang family's reputation among the civilians of Ping'an Town will completely crush the Liu family.
Zhao family.
Ancestor Jian praised Wang Shouzhe endlessly.
Liu Yuanrui's eyes widened, and he was increasingly shocked. Brother Shouzhe, the future brother-in-law, was too fierce, wasn't he? This series of operations was dazzling, not counting digging holes and burying people, but also brought huge benefits to the Wang family.
Even the two ancestors were here to listen to his orders and assist him in handling subsequent matters.
Patriarch Longyan gave Wang Shouzhe a more profound look at this moment. After mentioning so many things in front of Liu Yuanrui, he naturally asked him to go back and tell the story to Liu.
It might as well be that some gossip within the Liu family can calm down a bit.
However, the ancestor of Longyan knew the inside story that was unknown to the public, and the "achievements" that Wang Shouzhe could publicize to the outside world could only be limited to this.
The second half of his plan is not only more fierce, 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 Acropolis who were very reluctant to see the rise of the Wang family.
All of a sudden!
The cold light in her eyes flickered slightly.
Now that her injuries are gradually recovering, it will be time for her, Wang Longyan, to repay her old debt little by little.
