Wei Ni

Chapter 34

For official career, Wang Su has no ambitions.

What he is really pursuing is that his theory can be widely promoted and recognized.

Just as the theory of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan is called "Zheng Xue", he also hopes that his own theory can be called "Wang Xue" in the future.

Gein, one generation does the work of one generation.

After becoming a senior member of the East China Sea, his father Wang Lang has already achieved the Sangong family. Whether he can become a Sangong in the future will not be of great benefit to the family.

However, "Han Shu Wei Xian Biography" has the saying that "the leftover is full of gold, it is not as good as one scripture".

In the era of handing down poems and books, if he carried forward his theories and added another authority in classics to his family, then it would be inevitable for future generations of the family to have hairpin tassels and occasional three princes.

Just like the Runan Yuan family of four generations and three princes.

When he first started his business, didn't he rely on the "Meng Shiyi"~
It is also true that Wang Su, who has no interest in official career, actually does not dislike Xia Houhui's actions in the court.

On the contrary, he was quite appreciative.

As a lonely minister of the country, maybe in the future, he will be generously written about by the history of history!

The only bad thing is that this kind of people often don't end well.

And if Xia Houhui didn't end well, then his daughter would naturally be implicated.

Therefore, it is not surprising that when Wang Suku sat in front of the hall, out of his love for his daughter, he secretly slandered the emperor Cao Rui and randomly pointed out marriage.

Yes, he didn't blame Xiahou's family.

Xia Houhui needless to say, his own life is his own decision, and others cannot force it.

Xia Houheng couldn't criticize even more.

On the second day after he drove Xia Houhui out of the house, he brought several carts of money to visit Wang Su.

After being led by Wang Su to sit inside, he apologized with shame on his face, and kept claiming that "I didn't teach the sixth brother well, so that he rebelled wildly and condescended to the daughter of the royal family" and other words.

The sincerity of the posture is almost like giving a big gift to Wang Su.

Finally, under Wang Su's good persuasion, he left with apology.

He didn't take those carts of money back, and Wang Su let his family accept them without refusing.

Both of them are people who are rushing to the age of [-], and they know some things well.

The marriage of the two families was appointed by the emperor, and the result cannot be changed, and the Donghai Gaomen can't do such things as regretting the marriage to tarnish the family reputation and increase the ridicule of others.

These treasures are actually dowry gifts from Xiahou's family in advance.

Now that Xia Houheng has driven Xia Houhui out of the house, he will naturally not handle the preparations for the marriage and the holding of the evening ceremony in the future.

To offer the dowry in advance is because he thought about the death of his parents, and finally fulfilled the responsibility of an elder brother like a father.

As for why there is so much money~
Part of it was for Wang Su to buy the house.

Anning Tinghou's mansion is very large, even if the three generations of the brothers live under the same roof, there is more than enough room for them to accommodate them, so the Xiahou family did not build a separate house in the capital.

Xia Houhui, who was kicked out, naturally had no place to live.

According to the vivid after-dinner of the good people in the market, when Xia Houhui was kicked out of the mansion, there was only an old man surnamed Sun accompanying him; the only things he carried were daily clothes, bows and arrows, long and short soldiers, books and other miscellaneous items. The cart, which is pulled by a nanny horse, is finished.

Now his shelter is in a private house outside the west gate of Luoyang.

And that cramped house with only two rooms was built by the son of the old man named Sun.
Oh, it's really miserable~
After being the hero of Qiaopei Xiahou, the servant of Sanqi, who was a close minister of the emperor, was so downcast that he was taken in by his servants!

Therefore, another purpose of Xia Houheng sending a lot of money is to let Wang Su marry a small house for the new couple to live in when he marries his daughter in the future, so as not to wrong his own daughter.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Su is very friendly to Xia Houheng.

Because according to today's law, the dowry is owned by the wife, and neither the husband nor the husband's family has the right to dispose of it.

When his daughter gets married in the future, once Xia Houhui lives in the dowry house, her confidence will be a little weaker, and she will naturally treat his daughter better.

All insight into the world is knowledge.

Xiahou Boquan can be said to be well-rounded in dealing with people, how could he discipline Xiahou Zhiquan who is ignorant of the world?
Ugh.
Thinking of this, Wang Su couldn't help but sighed again.

He casually put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and was about to get up and walk when he suddenly heard the rustling footsteps behind him.

Looking back, he saw his eldest queen, Yuan Ji, walking slowly with a tea set in a small basket.

Seeing him looking over, he didn't make a sound.

Just bowing slightly to be courteous and grinning, she knelt down in front of him and was busy taking out cakes and tea, pottery stove, bearing plate and charcoal wrapped in linen from the small basket.

Wang Su didn't make a sound either.

Not only did he just want to get up and walk, but he also watched his daughter busy with a smile and beard.

Today's fashion is drinking.

People who drink heavily are praised as strong men, but Wang Su likes to drink tea.

Therefore, whenever he was reading biography in front of the hall at home, Wang Yuanji, who had always been filial, would come over to make (fried) tea for him in person.

First light the charcoal, take out a small piece of cake tea and burn it red on the charcoal fire, then chop it up and put it in a small mortar, grind it into fine powder, pour it into the supporting plate, and use green onions, ginger, oranges, etc. As a condiment, add water to boil and drink. 【Note 1】

When I was young, the water smoke curled up on the bearing plate, and the tea soup boiled.

Wang Yuanji, who was simmering beside the fire, poured the boiled tea soup into a pottery bowl from the supporting plate, placed it on Wang Su's desk, and said in a soft voice, "Father, it's very cold, and tea is warm." body."

"it is good."

Wang Su nodded lightly and responded with relief.

After picking up the pottery bowl and blowing it gently, taking a slow sip, I immediately felt warm in my heart.

His eldest daughter is well-educated, filial and well-behaved, not only loved by the late grandfather, but also loved by him, but in the future, she will have to endure hardships with Xia Houhui!

After taking a few sips, Wang Su put down the pottery bowl, and said in a regretful tone, "Did Yuan Ji know about it? Xiahou Zhiquan was kicked out of the house by her elder brother."

"Well, my son heard from the steward at home."

There was nothing unusual in Wang Yuanji's expression, and she nodded in response.

Regarding the marriage between the two families, when Xia Houheng asked a matchmaker to come to the house to go through the process, the family told her about the situation of Xiahou's family and Xiahou Hui's personality.Moreover, Wang Su's continuation Xiahou family was very happy to be married, and they did not hesitate to say something for their own family, such as Qinggui, the servant of Sanqi, who is the reserve talent of the community, and will surely do something great in the future.

Now that something like this happened, the family naturally wouldn't hide it from her.

However, Wang Su's reaction to her was also a little strange,
That's your future husband, isn't he emotional at all?
After thinking for a while, he couldn't help asking, "Don't you think he's unbearable?"

Regarding this, Wang Yuanji smiled, and returned without thinking, "I don't understand the court affairs, and I don't understand the conflicts between his brothers, so I dare not make a statement. Well, father, did he do something wrong? "

Uh.
It doesn't seem to have either.

It is the duty of a courtier to speak out for the country, and he has done nothing wrong, but he is not like others and seeks to benefit himself first.

Wang Su was dumbfounded for a moment.

Suddenly, he smiled suddenly, "Well, he didn't do anything wrong."

"Oh~"

Wang Yuanji still smiled, and said softly, "Father, eat the tea soup while it's hot. I'm going to urge younger brother Yun and younger brother to read the Analects of Confucius."

"Okay, let's go."

The hall was quiet again.

Wang Su continued to drink tea, while thinking about his daughter's answer, while laughing at himself for being mediocre.

The so-called loss of a horse is a blessing in disguise.

From the fact that the emperor Cao Rui reintroduced Du Shu into the court, we can know that Xiahou Huijian is in the emperor's heart. Now that he has been kicked out of the house by Xiahouheng, can the emperor ignore it?
Taking a step back, he really did nothing wrong~
With Qiao Pei Yuanxun's background, married his own daughter-in-law to help her official career, even if she is rejected by the court official, she will be released by the emperor as two thousand stones in the future!
Moreover, Wang Su suddenly remembered something.

When hunting in Beiman Mountain earlier, Xia Houhui once hunted a wild hog alone.

From the wounds on the lower jaw, abdomen, shoulder and back of the wild boar, we can know that Xia Houhui has a thorough plan in doing things.Now, he doesn't hesitate to offend the clan's heroes and lose face to the princes in the temple. Didn't he think about the price he will pay in advance?

Now that I thought of the result, I still did it
Really wholeheartedly for the public?

Or is it that the conspiracy is very big and evil?

Wang Su put down the pottery bowl and looked at the courtyard, and felt that the snowflakes were very messy and disorderly.

It's just that, this time, he wasn't restless, but rather uncertain, and had some vague expectations.

Nanyang County, Jingzhou, Wancheng.

In the Hushi General's office, Sima Yi touched his beard with one hand, looking at the letter sent by the emperor Cao Rui and meditating.

It is the re-recording book of Xiahou Huishang's sparse words that Shu cannot be defeated.

And Sima Yi's eyes fell on the words at the end of the re-recording book, "This book was sent by Xiahou Hui, the servant of Sanqi".

This was the third time he saw Xia Houhui's name.

The first time, it came from Jiang Ji, who had a good personal relationship with him.

That was when he learned that Jiang Ji went to Shu Temple for self-examination, so he wrote a letter and went back to talk about his friendship with him, and he did not hesitate to praise the goodness of this move.In Jiang Ji's reply, he revealed to him the matter of the emperor Enke in advance, and also said that the person who made this move was Xia Houhui, who had just been appointed as the servant of Sanqi not long ago.

When it was time, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, praised him for being young and promising, and then skipped it.

Talented people in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river. Occasionally, it is strange to meet someone who has his own opinions~
With his status and qualifications, a mere Xia Houhui is not worthy of attention.

The second time, it was from the letter of Sima Fu, who served as Duzhi Shangshu in the middle of the court.

Because he has already served as a local governor, guarding the front line, and his elder brother Sima Lang died long ago, many things in the family are handled by Sima Fu in the capital.

Children's in-laws are no exception.

His second son, Sima Zhao, was about to reach the age of weak crown, so Sima Fu sent a letter to inquire, claiming that the granddaughter of the late Situ Wang Lang was quite good, and whether he would go to propose marriage for Sima Zhao.

He felt pretty good about it.

The Wang family of Donghai is a high-ranking family in the world, and the first daughter in the family is naturally not bad, and it is more than enough to match the second son of the family.

However, when he was about to send out the completed family letter, Sima Fu sent someone to send a letter in a hurry, claiming that Wang Lang's granddaughter had already been promised to someone else, and he was going to choose another daughter from his family for Sima Zhao.

It wasn't enough to make him weird either.

Marrying in-laws is something that the first seeker gets.

There are many families of powerful and meritorious officials in Wei State, and the second son of his family is not the only one who wants to ask for a wife.

After hearing that Wang Lang's granddaughter was betrothed to Xia Houhui, I became interested in it—this son is young enough to be mentioned by Jiang Ji in ink, and Wang Su said that he is a daughter-in-law. Maybe he is a rising star in the Great Wei Dynasty?

I just don’t know, how is it compared to my Ziyuan? ——
