high official

Chapter 65

When it was getting dark, Dad came back.When Wang Xian asked, my father actually went to the yamen to go through the formalities.It's just that the official room where the father went first, the father and son missed it.Because my father was going to be an official in the higher-level yamen, not the irrelevant history of Renhe County, naturally he was more valued by the county than the previous two times when he returned to the yamen.Even the magistrate of Wei County took the time to meet him, spitting out 'Brother Taiwan' every time, which made Old Wang dizzy...

"My son, my father is very pleased to hear about your performance in recent months." Back home, Wang Xingye was still reluctant to take off the black gauze hat.He was wearing a green official robe with a regimental collar, with a bird patched on his chest, sitting on the patriarch's seat with a sword and a golden horse, reminiscing about the scene when he met the county magistrate, he couldn't help twirling his beard with his arms propped up, and his speech became polite.

Standing in the hall, Wang Xian felt goosebumps all over his body. He was still used to the father who gambled in the reed marshes, picked his feet in the courtyard, and talked about "Lao Tzu".I had no choice but to bear the discomfort and said: "The child can make a little progress, it is because of the good teaching of the father."

"It's true..." Wang Xingye took a sip from the teacup, put it down abruptly, sprayed himself on the chest, and said, "Scald my tongue!"

"What?" Yin Ling asked strangely.

"My mouth is burning." Wang Xian whispered, "Hurry up and wipe it off for Dad."

"Oh." Yin Ling picked up the rag and wanted to wipe it for her father, but Wang Xingye stopped her and said, "This is the cloth for wiping the table!"

"What?" Yinling opened her mouth slightly.

"This is a rag for wiping the table!" Wang Xian coughed dryly, saying to himself, "Dad, Wei Zhi County's two-ranked Jinshi, it doesn't take so much effort to speak.Didn't you just become a ninth-rank sesame official? What kind of writing is there?

Yinling had no choice but to use her sleeve to wipe off the water stains on her father's chest, and stared at his patch while wiping, saying, "Daddy, the cloth on your chest has birds, clouds, and waves, so beautiful." ah!"

"It's not cloth, it's love." The old man said angrily.

"It's not cloth, it's Buzi." Without waiting for Yinling to ask, Wang Xianxian explained, "Different birds represent different grades."

"What kind of bird is this?" Yinling asked curiously, "I don't recognize it well..."

"Quail." The old man said in embarrassment.

"What kind of bird is a quail?" Yinling stared at her second brother with big eyes that were curious for knowledge.

"This..." Wang Xian coughed lightly and said, "It's quail."

"Pfft..." Yinling gave a puff, and laughed prettily and said, "Daddy is so funny, put a quail on his chest."

"Cough cough," the old man glared at Wang Xian angrily and said, "You beast, you shouldn't be a son of man!"

"Father, do you want to keep talking like this?" Wang Xian smiled wryly.

"Ignorant child, there are many high officials in the provincial capital, and they all say this. If I don't, how can I deal with myself?" The old man said angrily.

"He speaks well, that's because he was born as a scholar." Wang Xian said with a wry smile: "Father, we are born as officials, and we also learn how to speak like others. Isn't it a joke?"

"Uh..." Dad thought about it, and it seemed to be the case.I watched Wei Zhixian's ninja a few times today, and I should be laughing at myself.He couldn't help but shyly said: "I also feel weird, because I was teased by those narrow-minded ghosts." It turned out that when my father was running an official in the provincial capital, several chief secretary clerks told him that the adults in the provincial capital all Speaking classical Chinese and vernacular is to be laughed at.

Dad was not coaxed to grow up, he didn't believe it: "I have also served several elders, why do I speak vernacular?" '

They sneered and said, that was in the county, facing you bumpkins, when you come to the provincial capital, you county magistrates also speak classical Chinese.He also said that you used to be an official, so naturally you didn't pay much attention to it. Now that you are an official, you have to be decent, and speaking official language is the first rule.

The old man was obsessed with officials, dizzy, and his IQ was only half of his usual, so he believed it.So I kept speaking in classical Chinese, and only after Wang Xian said this did I realize that I had lost my old man...

"It's a shame..." The old man felt ashamed, got up and went into the back room, and when he came out, he had already put on the Liuhe hat he usually wears, the silk cotton padded robe, and old cloth shoes, and it was much more pleasing to the eye...

.

In the evening, my mother cooks in person and cooks a table full of good dishes.

The whole family sat around the table, with the father and mother sitting upright, Wang Gui and his wife on the left, Wang Xian and Lin Qing'er on the right, and younger sister Yinling sitting on the bottom.This also exposed the background of the old Wang family. It is a real big family, and the daughter-in-law does not come to the table when eating...

But having said that, the rules are nothing, as long as you feel comfortable.

Sitting on a chair, Wang Xingye looked at the house full of children, thinking that at this time last year, he was dispatched to the saltworks in the cold wind and rain. At that time, he never imagined that after only one year, he would be able to live a good life again. up.Thinking of this, his simple and honest face burst into a smile, looked at the little girl and said: "Our family has four happy occasions today, little Yinling, do you know which four happy ones are?"

"I know, I know," Yinling chirped like a little magpie, "The first joy is that Daddy has become an official!"

"That's right," Wang Xingye said with a smile, "Shouldn't all of you offer me a toast?"

"Of course it should?" Starting with Wang Gui, he and his daughter-in-law toasted Lao Wang with a glass of wine, making Wang Xingye burst into laughter.

"The second joy is that my sister-in-law is finally pregnant..." Yinling praised: "It's really not easy, it's been three years!"

The speaker was innocent and innocent, but the listener was blushing. Wang Gui and his wife wished they could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"No matter what, it will be fine if you get pregnant." The old man laughed and said, "How about a toast to your sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, congratulations, you must give birth to a fat boy!" Wang Gui's daughter-in-law can't drink alcohol, and neither can Yin Ling, so they had a glass of water instead of wine.

Wang Xian and Lin Qing'er also respected their elder brother and sister-in-law, Wang Gui couldn't sit still, so he stole a hand from Hou, stood up with her, toasted his parents and said: "We were ignorant before, and we will never do it again from now on." Will."

The old lady sneered in her heart, but on such a happy day, it's hard to keep her mouth open.Then he said lightly: "I hope so." After drinking this cup, it was considered as a face for the two of them.

"Is this the third joy?" Seeing that they had finished moaning, Yinling hurriedly continued, "Second brother has become our God of Wealth in Fuyang...Second brother, why do people call you the God of Wealth?"

"Because I'm very talented." Wang Xian said solemnly, causing Lin Qing'er to burst into a chuckle.

"Stupid girl, your second brother is in charge of the bank and grain depot in Fuyang County. Do you think he is the God of Wealth?" Seeing that his daughter seemed to understand but half understood, the father said to his mother proudly, "Go to the Yamen today. , what I am most proud of is not being flattered by myself, but the compliments from those guys to Xiao Er, I was taken aback for a while, wondering if this is my son?" I couldn't help laughing out loud .

The old woman glared at her father and said: "Old Wang sells melons, sells melons and boasts, can't even hear a flattery?"

"It's not flattery, it's true admiration." Wang Xingye shook his head and smiled, "We've been together for more than ten years, and I still can't tell if they're telling the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's true. Uncle's character and ability have been spread in the county for a long time. Who doesn't know that the 'No. 16 official in the south of the Yangtze River' who is cold-faced and Tiehan is the [-]-year-old Wang Jia Erlang!" Hou Shi Couldn't help answering the conversation, flattering Wang Xian and said: "Uncle is very capable, sister-in-law is really blind, but fortunately there are so many uncles, sister-in-law is really ashamed and grateful..."

Wang Xianlian said a lot of reassuring words before Hou stopped chattering.Yin Ling couldn't wait and said: "The fourth joy, it's my elder brother, he finally got his wish and became the owner of Zhifang!"

"Hehe..." Wang Guihan laughed, he had already told his former boss today, the boss was grateful for his hard work all these years, and thought of relying on him in the future to have a relationship with Wang Xian, so he counted [-] guan wages for him ...it's all money strings.

"What?" Hou was a little confused, looked at Wang Gui and said, "What kind of boss are you?"

Wang Gui briefly explained the matter of Wang Xian buying Zhangjiazhifang for himself.He was just honest, not stupid, he only said that the two brothers accounted for half, and didn't say anything else.

After hearing this, Hou Shi was shocked and overjoyed, and couldn't help losing her composure, and couldn't help giggling.The eyes looking at Wang Xian were shining, and he completely regarded him as the God of Wealth. "Second uncle lives in the yamen, must be very uncomfortable?"

"Fortunately, there is a cafeteria for meals, and there are white servants to serve in the morning and evening." Seeing that Lin Qing'er was also looking at him with concern, Wang Xian had no choice but to cheer up and answer.

"How do those people take care of your uncle when they serve your uncle?" Hou said courteously, "Sister-in-law will find you two hardworking and pleasant maids to serve you in the morning and evening, so that the family can rest assured."

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law, don't worry about it." Wang Xian was so sweaty, he said in his heart that in front of sister Lin, you want to send me a cute little girl, is this against me?
Lin Qing'er just smiled, showing no emotional change.

"Ahem." The old lady finally couldn't listen anymore, and said in a choked voice: "Wang Gui's daughter-in-law, Wang Xian doesn't need you to worry about it, you should save money and hire two to serve yourself." Seeing Hou's stunned, the old lady He simply announced his decision:

"Your father and I celebrated the new year, so I took your sister to Hangzhou." After the old lady finished speaking, she obviously saw surprise flashing in the eyes of the eldest daughter-in-law, while the second daughter-in-law was full of anxiety. "Wang Gui's daughter-in-law is right. Wang Xian needs someone to take care of him when he lives in the yamen. Besides, it's not convenient for Qing'er to live with her elder brother and sister-in-law without the elderly at home. Simply let her move to take care of Wang Xian. Wang Gui and his wife are willing If you live at home, you can stay at home, if you want to live in your big house, I will give you freedom."

"Mother..." From the beginning, Lin Qing'er listened calmly, until she heard the old lady's arrangement, her face flushed immediately, her head was so low that it was about to break, but she just didn't say 'no'...

"I know you guys have been thinking about your own little life for a long time." The old lady sneered and said: "It's all things that you forget your mother when you marry a wife. But Wang Xian, let me remind you, you two are still siblings now, sister and brother What to do, what not to do, don’t ask me!”

Now even Wang Xian's face turned red, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mother, don't worry..." No one would be killed.
