Quick travel to save a miserable life

After breakfast the next day, Wang Xiuyuan put on his latest and best clothes, a pair of shoes he didn't often wear, and went out.

Before leaving, he asked for another ten taels of silver from his mother, Wang Liu.

Although Mrs. Wang Liu supports her son's study and making friends, and is also willing to accept some necessary entertainment expenses as Wang Xiuyuan said, her recent large expenditures by her son still make her feel a little wrong.

So he hesitated and refused to take the money, and asked suspiciously: "Son, you just took five taels a few days ago, did you spend it all so quickly? This time you want to take away ten taels at once, you What are you going to do?"

Wang Liu's face was a little suspicious, and suddenly her expression changed drastically. What kind of place would need so much money in a short period of time? From Wang Liu's perspective, all she could think of was a place like a brothel or a gambling house.

I heard that these two realms are gold-selling caves. No matter how much silver you put in there, it won't be enough to spend.

The thought of her good scholar son being seduced to these two places made her anxious.

Without waiting for Wang Xiuyuan's answer, she said hurriedly with a worried look on her face: "Son, you can't go to those gambling houses and brothels. Gambling houses only defraud people of their money, and the women in those brothels are even more amazing and consume people's energy." Even if you are angry, you will find other ways to coax a man's money away, and those dirty women can't get their hands on it!"

Wang Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing these words. What was she thinking?

He said seriously: "Mom, don't you know about my son? My son is not a fool like that. He uses the money to do business. He definitely doesn't go to places like that. Don't worry!"

Mrs. Wang Liu, you are still a little worried about asking your son to tell you what he is going to do.

He hasn't met the master of the Dong family yet, and the affairs between himself and the young lady of the Dong family haven't been settled yet. My mother is not a wealthy person, so she can't hide her words at all. Therefore, Wang Xiuyuan just vaguely said that the matter has not been settled yet. Let's talk to my mother again after we get acquainted.

Seeing that her son had made up his mind, Mrs. Wang Liu had no choice but to give him the money. She also told him to use it sparingly. Her family was really poor and she didn't have much money left.

Wang Xiuyuan took the money to buy two boxes of high-quality pastries and took them to Dong's house.

Mrs. Wang Liu felt that ten taels of silver was a lot, so she asked him to save some money, but she didn't know that her son spent four taels of silver on just these two boxes of pastries.

I have no choice but to bring something that I can afford when I visit my house for the first time. My family is poor and cannot afford other good things, so I always get two boxes of good pastries.

Although Wang Xiuyuan did a lot of psychological preparation for himself before coming to the door, when he actually sat down in the main hall of the Dong family, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, after all, he had gone through several exams and had even answered the county magistrate's questions. By the time the Dong family and his son came out to meet the guests, his mind had calmed down.

When the Dong family father and son came out of the back hall, they saw a man in a green shirt, handsome and leisurely.

Both of them couldn't help but praise in their hearts: "He is indeed a handsome man. I can't blame my daughter/sister for falling in love with this man!"

However, we should not just look at people by their appearance, but also look inside to see if they really have real talents and can make a difference in the future.

So, after the Dong family father and son sat down, they first exchanged a few casual greetings with Wang Xiuyuan, and then began to raise some targeted topics, quietly guiding them to where they wanted to go.

However, the longer they talked, the more they liked Wang Xiuyuan. Even if his appearance was not mentioned, his conversation and knowledge were quite insightful, and he was not as boastful as some scholars. What he said every time There must be something to say.

Mr. Dong couldn't help but nodded secretly. Yesterday, his daughter came back and said that she had fallen in love with a scholar and wanted to marry him. He thought it was ridiculous because that man had a wife.

Even if the daughter of the Dong family is divorced, she will never be reduced to the level of coveting a married man.

When she came out to see this boy today, it was only because her daughter begged her repeatedly that he would not come out to sit with him. She originally planned to just say a few words and then go back to the back hall, but she didn't know that the person her daughter had chosen this time turned out to be a genuine talent.

Mr. Dong is a businessman. What he considers to be a talented person is not a pedantic scholar who can only recite poetry correctly, but a knowledgeable, insightful and motivated person who is eager to learn. Only then can he live up to the title of talented person.

But now, this Wang Xiucai is in line with everything, and more importantly, he is very confident.

It can be seen from Wang Xiucai's clothes that his family is not wealthy, but when he arrived in a beautiful place like Dong's Mansion, he was not timid, and there was no humility in his speech, but he was generous and generous. It’s rare.

Wang Xiuyuan alone responded to the questions from the Dong family and his son without showing any signs of panic. He was always clear-cut and answered fluently.

The three of them chatted happily. Mr. Dong invited guests outside and set up a meal in the flower hall at noon. He and his eldest son ate with the guests.

When Wang Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It seemed that the Dong family and his son were quite satisfied with him, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed him to eat. However, he did not show joy easily and remained as polite as before.

The master of the Dong family was even more satisfied when he saw this. The meal was a feast for the guests and the host.

After the meal, Wang Xiuyuan returned home because he drank some wine during lunch and smelled of alcohol, so it was not suitable to go anywhere else.

The Dong family's carriage dropped Wang Xiuyuan at the door and returned to the house.

Mrs. Wang Liu went to visit some neighbor's house. Ziming didn't return from school, and the only ones at home were Lin Hui who was working and Yao Niang who was playing next to her.

After drinking, Wang Xiuyuan inevitably felt a little thirsty, so he asked Lin Hui to pour him some water.

Seeing his relaxed expression and leisurely posture, Lin Hui knew that his trip was probably going to be what he wanted.

After he drank three cups of tea to quench his thirst, Lin Hui asked him tentatively: "Did your husband eat at Mr. Dong's house?"

"Hmm." Wang Xiuyuan replied casually.

"My husband just went to borrow a book and he was given a meal, so Mr. Dong must think highly of my husband!" Lin Huiyan complimented sincerely.

"Yeah." Wang Xiuyuan still refused to say more and answered casually.

Then, he didn't know if it was to avoid Lin Hui asking any more questions, so he went back to his room to rest on the pretext of having a headache after drinking.

Lin Hui couldn't help but think about it secretly for a while. The Dong family actually gave him food and wine. It seemed that they were quite satisfied with him. Things between him and Miss Dong's family were progressing so smoothly. In order to please the Dong family, he Huan Xin, if you get on the Dong family's lap as soon as possible, you will probably get rid of yourself as an obstruction as soon as possible.

Lin Hui felt that the time for him to take action was not far away. He might not wait until more than twenty days before taking action like in his previous life. The time might be brought forward.
