Chapter 851 Negotiation (Part 2)
Jiangning, Wei’s House.
Gui Niang stood there, looking at Wei Ren with a tired face, feeling a little uncomfortable. After four or five years, this was the first time the old man had encountered it.
Although she was promoted as an aunt, she was just a girl bought by the Wei family and was not even as good as a child. Suli, the master and the wife were quite polite to her because of the devoted relationship between the children she was taking care of.
But there is no reason why the elder brother and the younger brother's aunt are close to each other, so Wei Ren can count the number of times she has seen him.
"Is the uncle here to see Master Jiu? Master Jiu has gone to a private school. Should I ask someone to take Master Jiu back?" Gui Niang said carefully when she saw Wei Ren not speaking for a long time.
All the maids and the mother-in-law were sent to the yard, and the only two of them were left in the room, which was really not in line with the rules. Although the door of the hall was open, if there was a villain talking, wouldn't it be unfair?
Young Master Ninth is Wei Xin’s youngest son Wenying. Their three brothers are ranked fourth, seven, and nine.
It was originally Gui Niang who brought her with her side. I wonder if it was because Wei Xin was interested, but all the concubine's sons and the biological mother of the concubine's mother were sent away, but no one was left. Gui Niang had only obtained the title and had no biological children.
She is three years older than Wei Xin and is no longer young now.
Earlier, several young masters were raised by her. Two years ago, Wen Jie and Wen Zhi brothers grew older and moved out; only the young Wen Ying was still by her side.
Wei Ren coughed and said, "Giang Gui, I am here to find you today. Tomorrow I will tell you to the master and wife to send Wenying to the third grandma's yard. The third grandma has always loved Wenying and will not treat him badly."
When Gui Niang heard this, her face turned pale and she whispered: "Uncle... has news from the fifth master..."
Wei Ren raised his head, his eyes fell on Gui Niang like a knife, and asked gloomyly: "You have known about the fifth brother's going abroad?"
Seeing that Wei Ren was about to eat people, Gui Niang shivered in fear and nodded.
Wei Ren had to say something, but finally he pursed his lips tightly, got up and strode out.
Gui Niang felt like she was cramping and peeling her bones, and her body suddenly became soft. The maid who had just waited in the yard had already come in and hurriedly supported Gui Niang when she saw this.
Gui Niang felt chill all over and her teeth were trembling.
If you send the Ninth Master to the third grandma's yard, you will have to inherit the heir. The fifth master... The fifth master... Before the fifth master came back, he spoke, because he knew that the fifth master would come back...
Gui Niang felt her mind explode suddenly, and her eyes suddenly became dark and she fainted...
Chengjia Villa, living room.
Both Wei Wenjie and Wei Wenzhi sat in a regular manner, with only the young Wei Wenying secretly turning her head and looking at the bird cage hanging under the corridor.
There is a pair of colorful parrots inside, with their feathers lowered.
At this time, I heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside.
Hearing the footsteps, Wei Ren called his nephews to get up.
Wei Wenying is still young and doesn't think anything; Wei Wenjie and Wei Wenzhi brothers are older and feel a little strange in their hearts.
Especially Wen Jie, who was hugged by his uncle a few days ago and cried. Later, his uncle only said that he had drunk too much, but Wen Jie remembered clearly that there was no smell of alcohol on his uncle.
Today, I took the three of them out, just saying that I was going to visit their father's friends, and told them to be respectful to the three of them.
Those who came in were Cao Yong who rushed over from the guest room after getting the news.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Wei Ren standing with his three children, and Cao Yong couldn't help but stop.
The older one of the three children looks the most like Wei Xin when he was a teenager, but he is a little more honest and well-behaved, and does not have the arrogance of Wei Xin in his early years.
The remaining two can also show some of Wei Xin's shadows when the facial features are outlined.
At this moment, Cao Yong felt very regretful.
He always used Wei Xin a lot and never really considered him, otherwise he would not let him go abroad in disheartened manner, and he was thinking about letting him arrange a way out for himself.
If it were Cao Song and Cao Xiang, would he not dissuade them at all and let them take risks? The answer is no.
Wei Ren had already bowed, pointed to his three nephews, and introduced him to Cao Yong one by one; then said to his nephews: "This is your father's friend, Mr. Cao, why don't you call him Uncle Shi?"
"Uncle Cao Shi." The three children said in unison.
After seeing each other, Cao Yong asked everyone to sit down. After all, it was the first time we met. Although Cao Yong felt close to him, he had no other words to say, and he had to ask a few words about his studies and studies.
Wen Jie answered honestly, and Wen Zhi also answered with his brother, but his face was a little strange.
Cao Yong went over to look at his cousins. When he grew up, he had several sons in his family. There was no way to see Wen Zhi's "pain". It seemed that this little guy was not a person who loved studying, and he was in line with previous investigations.
Wei Xin, the second son, has the demeanor of his father and knows nothing about articles.
Wenying is innocent, innocent, romantic, smart and well-behaved. Without the carefulness of her brothers, she can tell that she is a cheerful child.
He was sent back to Jiangning during his cradle, and he had no impression of his parents, and he didn't know if it was a blessing.
Looking at Wenying's eyes glancing on the bird cage under the corridor, Cao Yong smiled and asked someone to take Wenying to the yard to play.
"I heard from your uncle that you took the Tongsheng exam in April and are you sure you will be ready to be the candidate next year?" Cao Yong looked at Wen Jie and asked.
Wen Jie stood up and replied, "My nephew dares not be too proud, just try it."
Wei Ren had already mentioned the details of this nephew to Cao Yong before. Although he worked hard in his studies, his studies were just mediocre. In February, the county examination results were still in the middle of the journey, and in April, the government examination was a hang-out tail.
The Master who taught Wen Jie had already told Wei Ren that whether Wen Jie could pass the college entrance examination next year was only a 50-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
"If you pass the scholar, do you want to continue taking the imperial examination?" Cao Yong continued to ask.
Wen Jie shook his head, looked at Wei Ren next to him, and whispered: "I've been hit by a scholar, my nephew wants to go to Guangzhou to find my father."
Wei Ren had changed his face when he heard this; Cao Yong's expression was as normal as he did, and continued to ask, "Do you have no other plans except to find your father?"
Wen Jie was ten years old when Wei Xin sent them back to Jiangning. Therefore, Wen Jie remembered clearly the "Uncle Cao Shi" in front of him. His father had told him that if he was not good at his grandfather's house, he could send someone a letter to "Uncle Cao Shi" in the capital.
Therefore, when Cao Yong did not treat him as a child and asked him seriously about his opinions, he also said what he said.
"Apart from finding a father, I just learn to make a living, take care of my younger brothers and sisters, and be filial to my elders." Wen Jie replied.
Wei Ren's face became more and more ugly. He didn't care about being in front of Cao Yong and said angrily: "At a young age, I just study hard. What do you think of these useless things? Our Wei family can still support you children."
Wen Jie blushed and didn't say anything.
Wen Zhi was straightforward. Seeing his brother being trained, he couldn't help but mutter, "It was my aunt who said that the family was having a difficult life..."
Wei Ren's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't say anything to defend himself, so he could only sigh heavily.
Seeing that Wen Jie was not as restless as a young man, and was so sensible, Cao Yong felt a little more pity and said, "Do you want to go to other places except Guangzhou? The capital is prosperous. Do you want to take your younger brother over there? You can study in the college or learn to do business."
Before Wen Jie could speak, Wen Zhi's eyes were already lit up and he looked at his brother eagerly.
Wen Jie hesitated for a moment, finally shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi is kind, so my nephew can't stop. But my father once told me to ask my nephew to be filial to his father. Grandfather and grandmother are old, and nephew wants to serve him."
This is like the one who just said "Looking for Father in Guangzhou". He was afraid that Cao Yong would misunderstand that he was clever and rude, so he hurriedly said, "It's just that my nephew wanted to go looking for his father, but because he couldn't bear to see his grandfather, his grandmother missed his father too much."
He is a good child with affection and righteousness. Cao Yong nodded, his expression softer, and said, "Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. It's good that you can remember that although I am not your father's blood relative, I am like your father. In my heart, you are my nephews. Your father had 30,000 taels of silver in his early years. When you grow up, I will send someone to come and buy labor for your brothers, so you don't need to worry about the livelihood of your brothers and sisters."
As for why they don’t buy it now, it is because the Wei family has not yet separated, and now they have bought a residential land and their relatives have to talk to each other again, which makes the children embarrassed.
Wen Jie heard this, but his face was not happy. He raised his head and looked at Cao Yong. His eyes were already misty and his words were filled with tremolo: "Uncle Shi, don't come from the capital, but call Guangzhou?"
He remembered clearly that although his father mentioned "Uncle Cao Shi" several times, he never mentioned money. Instead, he secretly mentioned to his eldest son that he left some property for his brothers in Guangzhou. When they grew up, they wanted to go back to Guangzhou to settle down. They wanted to stay in Jiangning and sold land in the past. These were all entrusted to "Uncle Cao Shi" in the capital.
Now, what "Uncle Cao Shi" is talking about is money, not land.
If my father was fine, why would "Uncle Cao Shi" make this decision? Wen Jie was a little afraid to think about it...
Cao Yong and Wei Ren looked at each other, but they didn't expect Wen Jie to be so sensitive. The two of them had to delay for a few years before telling Wen Jie.
Cao Yong glanced at Wen Jie, did not answer directly, but turned to Wen Zhi and asked, "Does Wen Zhi want to go to the capital?"
Wen Zhi's eyes were bright, and he raised his head and asked, "Can you join the army in Beijing? My nephew wants to go to war?"
Cao Yong thought of the "general" at home and couldn't help but smile and said, "Wen Zhi wants to be a general?"
Wen Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not a general, I want to be a military officer. My nephew is stupid and can't study at the secretary. He will be quick to learn fists and feet with Master Liang. If he becomes an official, he can earn money and support his aunt."
Although the Wei family is not as famous as the Cheng family in the world, it is one of the best landlords in Jiangning City.
Even when Cao Yin was in Jiangning, he was very polite to the Wei family.
The children who grew up in the Wei family are now planning for their livelihood, and Cao Yong's smile froze on his face.
Wei Ren was able to scold Wen Jie just now, but now he was full of shame and trembling lips, unable to speak.
Seeing Cao Yong's expression was ugly, Wen Zhi was a little nervous and whispered: "Did Uncle Shi think that his nephew has no ambition?"
Cao Yong's expression was soothing, he shook his head, and said, "No. Wen Zhi is right. Since he can't study well, he can learn fist and kick. But you have to remember that if you want to be a military officer, it is not possible to be a soldier. It is not easy for a soldier to become a military officer. If you really want to be a military officer, you can learn riding and shooting well, and you can't leave all your homework. You still have to learn to do strategy. Then take the martial arts exam, and when you pass the martial arts juren and the martial arts jinshi, you can become a military officer..."
After chatting for a while, Cheng Mengxing had asked someone to arrange a seat to deliver it to him.
Cao Yong has always been patient with his children. These children can feel his kindness and are willing to get close to him. After a meal, the guests and guests will have fun.
Only Wen Jie, Wen Ya's face was a little more sad. Cao Yong couldn't bear to tell the truth in front of his children, but just comforted him quietly: "Your nephew doesn't have to think too much. Your father is fine, he has just gone abroad for a few years and is happy. When he comes back, let's fight him together."
I don't know if he heard it, but in front of his two younger brothers, he could see that he was hiding his worries.
When Wei Ren sent the housekeeper to send his nephews back first, leaving only him and Cao Yong, Cao Yong sighed and said, "Brother Wei, the children's age is just when they need the care of their elders. They are thinking about making a living all day long, which is really unbearable. Otherwise, they would leave a few thousand taels of silver left by their father, which is what they can do to chew?"
Wei Ren's face was flushed and he waved his hand and said, "The eldest son is going to be so embarrassed. It's all because I'm not strict in the family and I'm despising my nephews. I will definitely not do this in the future. The tens of thousands of taels of silver are the funds left by my fifth brother for marriage. How can I do it lightly? I'd better ask the eldest son to keep it for him..."
Wei Ren was firm in his attitude, and Cao Yong couldn't say anything.
A few days later, I heard that the marriage date of the legitimate son of the Wei family was postponed. I heard that it was the Wei family’s uncle’s meaning. Speaking of the monks in the temple, it was said that this year, the Wei family’s reign was not good, so it was not suitable to marry.
For this reason, the Wei family also performed several rituals in the temple...
In the capital, within Andingmen, Prince Yong’s Mansion.
The Thirteenth Prince was wearing a royal blue dress, teasing the baby held by the woman, and said happily: "Fourth Brother, this little prince is very handsome. When she grows up, she is designated as a handsome man."
The fourth prince rarely had a cold face and looked at the baby in the cradle lovingly, saying, "I asked someone to ask him for amulets from the Lama Temple in Rehe, and I just hope he grows up safely."
He had a difficult life for his son. In his early years, he only had three sons and one daughter, and half of them died.
Although the young prince who was born in this year's concubine was born in full term, he was not as strong as an ordinary child because of his weak mother.
Poor parents in the world, the Thirteenth Prince sighed in his heart and said, "It's almost a hundred days, so it's going to be lively and lively. I heard that Nian Gengyao sent someone back to give gifts. After all, he was my uncle and loved his nephew..."
Cao Mansion, Lanyuan.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Li's mother-in-law were also talking about the newborn, but it was not the little prince of Prince Yong's mansion, but Chen Shu, who was from the prince Chun's mansion, gave birth to the little prince.
Although he is a half-brother, Chu Yu, the married eldest sister, has a bad reputation.
