Chapter 199 Wang Ziteng's Thoughts

Aunt Xue just wiped away her tears. Her husband has been away for several years, and her mood has gradually returned to calm.

She also noticed her brother's scorching eyes wandering over her two children, and she was also a little panicked.

This son had such a big incident in Jinling City, and he was fortunate to know that the mansion and the Xue family were old, so he took care of the Xue family, so this matter has been dragging on.

Later, it was learned that the magistrate was going to be replaced, but the new magistrate did not know who it was, which made Xue's family feel a little busy.

In the end, there was no other way, so the family hurriedly packed their bags and left Jinling under the guise of their daughter entering Beijing to be elected.

First went to Songjiang for more than a month, and then lived in Yangzhou for a few months before leaving for Beijing.

It was already the end of May when we arrived in Beijing.

Since he was on the road and hadn't heard from Jinling, he was in a state of anxiety along the way.

It was not until Beijing and China that they settled down.

At any rate, my sister married into Jia's mansion, which is also the mansion of the Duke, and my elder brother was also promoted from the Jingying Jiedu envoy to the governor of Xuanda under the control of the nine provinces. He has power for a while, and presumably this kind of relationship can also save his son from prison. right?

But seeing her elder brother's serious face today, Aunt Xue's heart beat.

I don't know if my brother knows, or if he already knows his attitude towards this matter.

In fact, Wang Ziteng didn't pay much attention to Xue Pan, his thoughts were all on Xue Baochai who was beside Xue Pan.

The 12-year-old girl has indeed acquired a rather rare bearing.

Ice muscles and fine bones, plump skin, one point increase is too much, one point decrease is less, one stop there, the end is graceful and graceful, like a lotus out of water.

Especially the tranquility and serenity between the brows and eyes, without the rosy complexion, without the pink skin, it makes people feel a little more peaceful.

Already having some concerns in his heart, Wang Ziteng turned his gaze from Xue Baochai to Xue Pan.

My younger sister only has this one son, but she never thought that it would be so disappointing.

If the Feng family knew about these things, would it affect their perception of the Xue family?

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng's face became more solemn, "Did the second sister ever know what Wenlong committed in Jinling?"

Wang Ziteng's words almost caused Aunt Xue to collapse on the chair.

Struggling to get up and let her son kneel down, Baochai also hurriedly knelt down with her elder brother. Aunt Xue stepped forward to greet her elder brother, but she was persuaded by her sister-in-law next to her.

"Second brother, my younger sister only has this one son, but it's a big mistake. It's because her husband passed away early, and my younger sister has no way to teach her son. Second brother, please forgive me for my brother-in-law's sake..."

Aunt Xue bent her legs and was about to kneel down, so panicked that her sister-in-law next to her hurriedly supported her.

Wang Ziteng let out a long sigh, and raised his hand to signal, "Get up, Baochai should get up too."

Xue Pan was not mentioned in the words, and Xue Pan was so frightened that he only dared to kneel on the ground and put his head on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Seeing her brother like this, Baochai naturally didn't dare to get up.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang Ziteng helped her sister-in-law to the side and sat down, but she was wiping tears with Aunt Xue.

Wang Ziteng was also helpless.

It's hard for an upright official to do housework, and his younger sister's life experience is bleak. It seems that the Xue family is also one of the four major families in the past, but the inside has already collapsed, leaving only an empty shelf, but outsiders can't see it.

Now even the eldest son who is holding on to airs is so unbearable, Wang Ziteng is more and more worried about his younger sister's life in the future.

Looking at it now, Baochai seems to be in a good mood.

If she could find a good family, it might make her younger sister's life a little easier for the rest of her life, after all, she was just a daughter.

"This time things are done badly." Wang Ziteng considered his words, after all, they are all a family, and he would not say those falsehoods.

"On the side of Jinling, it is up to the government to judge, but on the side of the sufferer, try to deal with it as best as possible, so as not to cause trouble."

As soon as Aunt Xue heard what her brother said, she knew that he must have explained to Jinling, and she immediately put down a big stone in her heart.

As long as the son can be kept safe, nothing else is a problem.

"What the second brother said is that the younger sister has already arranged for the family members who are used to doing things to deal with it in this way, and the sufferer must be settled properly. Please rest assured, the second brother."

Aunt Xue nodded like chicken pecking at rice, but her eyes signaled her son to apologize and ask for forgiveness.

Although Xue Pan was stupid, he was still somewhat awakened at this moment, bumping his head on the floor in a hurry.

"I'm asking for forgiveness from my uncle. My nephew is very irritable. After this incident, I must make amends..."

Wang Ziteng didn't believe a word Xue Pan said.

It's just that everyone said so, so he couldn't hold on to it any longer, so he said lightly: "Wen Long also get up, it's not that uncle said you, the present is not the same as before, the new emperor Yuji, all matters have not yet been resolved , A group of censors are looking for opportunities everywhere as an excuse to flatter you, if you are caught by the censor, even I will not be able to protect you."

These words are neither serious nor serious, and it depends on each individual to comprehend and understand.

Xue Pan felt that this was just an excuse from his uncle. Since he told himself to get up, it was all right, so he got up carelessly, bowed his hands and stood behind his mother.

Seeing that Baochai next to her also frowned slightly, she wanted to say a few words to her elder brother, but she could only hold back on such occasions.

Wang Ziteng himself didn't take Xue Pan seriously.

This kind of people is the source of disaster, now that the Xue family is in such decline, and they don't know how to love themselves, if something happens, it will be too late to regret.

Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it anymore: "Since my younger sister came to Beijing, she will take care of her life in Beijing, and Xue's family also has a business in Beijing, so I ordered my servants to take care of her life and not to cause trouble again."

Both Aunt Xue and Baochai felt Wang Ziteng's dissatisfaction with Xue Pan, and felt even more uneasy.

This capital is no different than in Jinling, there are some acquaintances there anyway, and high-ranking officials and nobles in this capital can be seen everywhere, and there are big figures behind any one who is brought out.

Moreover, the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital is no better than that in Nanjing, and it seems that even his own brother's position is still somewhat fearful.

"Second brother is right, the three members of my sister's family will definitely abide by the teachings and dare not provoke disputes." Aunt Xue quickly responded.

"The matter over there in Jinling hasn't been completely settled yet, where is the troublemaker girl now?" Wang Ziteng asked casually.

"Now I have come to Beijing with my younger sister..." Aunt Xue didn't know what her brother meant.

"This kind of woman has caused such trouble, let her follow Baochai first." Wang Ziteng thought for a while, "If this matter is to be completely forgotten, it may take some time, and Wen Long will have to ground his feet and not go out easily. .”

This would kill Xue Pan, but in such a situation, he would never dare to argue with his uncle.

Aunt Xue also knew that if her son were to be grounded at home, it would be better to kill him, but at this moment she didn't dare to say no, she could only nod her head yes.

The hall was silent for a while, Wang Ziteng stroked his beard and pondered for a while before saying: "Baochai is twelve this year?"

"It's already full of twelve." Aunt Xue felt a little strange, but she also felt something, and quickly explained: "The intention is to try the candidate in the palace,..."

Prince Teng waved his hand, "Let's not say that the time has passed, even if it hasn't, I don't advocate it. There are rules in the selection of candidates in this palace. All the empresses and concubines of the Great Zhou Dynasty come from the poor families of the people, and the current emperor has never liked martial arts. Xun, if he is chosen to enter the palace, it will be nothing more than the life of a living dead..."

As soon as the words came out, Wang Ziteng suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.

Jia Yuanchun was also selected into the palace. Although she was a female historian, she had a different idea from Aunt Xue, but given Jia Yuanchun's age and having entered the Renshou Palace, the chance of leaving the palace might be slim.

The Jia family also did a poor job in this matter, so that their own niece became like this. If they had never entered the palace, wouldn't it be a good match for Feng Ziying?

The more he thought about it, the more Wang Ziteng felt regretful.

This Xue Baochai also looks good, but after all, she lost her father since she was a child, and her family background is a little bit worse, so she feels a little high when she is paired with Feng Ziying.

But looking at Xue Baochai's demeanor, Wang Ziteng felt a little more at ease.

If such a wind is given to the Feng family, I am afraid that the Feng family will also come to inquire about it. Knowing the appearance and demeanor of Baochai, they may also have some concerns.

Aunt Xue was also surprised when her elder brother said that he was waiting to be selected into the palace.

She didn't expect her elder brother to be so disdainful of being selected into the palace, so what about Yuan Chunna from her sister's family?

It's just that she didn't dare to ask such words, so she could only swallow them in her stomach.

"Forget it, where does my sister live now, has she ever settled down?"

After a lot of thought, Wang Ziteng finally withdrew his thoughts. Such things should not be rushed, but should be done slowly.

"Now that my sister's house occupies a courtyard, it's quiet. My sister wants to keep a low profile while going to Beijing, so she also plans to be quiet." Aunt Xue explained.

"Well, it's just right." Wang Ziteng was satisfied with Aunt Xue's arrangement, "Wenlong also needs to avoid the limelight for a while, and wait until Jinling is completely calm before making any fuss."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ziteng asked some gossip about Jinling, and Aunt Xue answered them one by one, inevitably sighing and sighing.

The main branches of the Wang family have all moved to Beijing, but there are still many clansmen in Jinling, but they are all side branches, which are gradually declining.

It's just that Wang Ziteng couldn't even take care of the people in Jingzhong, so how could he have more energy to switch to Jinling?

But this is carrying the banner of the Wang family, if you want to ignore it at all, but you are afraid of being stabbed in the back, so you can only donate some good money every year, just for peace of mind.

Thinking of these two younger sisters and nieces, although they seem to be married well, they thought it was the best thing to do back then, but now it seems that there are all kinds of unsatisfactory things in the Wu Xun family.

Especially the lack of pillars is even more so.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng also felt more and more the importance of choosing the right family.
