The sad reminder of the science man

Wang Ziteng is the current patriarch of the royal family and the only official with real power among the four major families.

Prince Teng Xuepan and the others went to the Yamen on time.After returning home, he did not call Xue Pan and Xue Jia over to meet him right away, but went into the room to ask Shi Shi.

Wang Ziteng asked, "Madam, according to what you see today, what do you think of the Xue family's children?"

Shi thought for a while, "I think Brother Pan has the demeanor of the eldest son, takes good care of his younger siblings, and speaks well. By the way, Brother Pan gave me a 5000 tael silver ticket when he came to visit me, saying that it was them. For flowers, I can't refuse, so I accept it."

Wang Ziteng heard it, "How can you ask him for a bank note? Could it be that I, Wang Ziteng, can't afford to support a few nieces and nieces?"

Shi received the banknote, and he had a good impression of Xue Pan and the others, "What is the master talking about? Is this the Xue family's caution? I am afraid that my brother-in-law is afraid that the children will feel uncomfortable living here, so he asked them to give us the banknote. Besides, they gave it in private."

Wang Ziteng thought for a moment, "That's right, they are afraid that the servants will not speak well! Forget it, since you have given it, you can accept it. Their Xue family is not short of money."

Shi was puzzled, "What does the master mean? Doesn't it mean that their house lost the imperial merchant, the situation is not very good, or is it relying on the master's face to keep the position of the patriarch?"

Wang Ziteng snorted coldly, "Do you think Xue Ze is a fool? He is not a simple character. If a merchant can marry a girl from our Wang family, even if it is Xue's family, one of the four great families, even if their house was an imperial merchant at that time, it is impossible for him to marry a girl from the Wang family. Isn't that Shang? Xue Zehui is a simple person. His father praised Xue Ze when he was alive, and he is even higher in his father's eyes than his elder sister marrying Jia Zheng."

Shi Shi was surprised. He thought that the master took over Xue Pan and the others just for the sake of the second sister. It seems that the master came here to ask himself what he thought of Xue Pan and the others because he valued the Xue family. Thinking of this, Shi Shi had an idea. "I think all three of Xue's family are good. I just said that Xue Pan has a good manner. Although I can't see anything, I feel like a master."

The prince became interested and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shi stopped for a while and continued, "Well, how should I put it, didn't the master join the army from the very beginning, Brother Pan seems to have a little bit of this feeling, and I think Brother Pan and Brother Chi are twin brothers, But Brother Pan is sturdier than Brother Chi."

Wang Ziteng, "Well, I remember that Brother Pan is 12 this year. I remember that when he was 6 years old, Xue Ze invited Yang Wu from me. You must know that Yang Wu followed me on the battlefield. It seems that these years Yang Wu has been teaching Xue Pan all the time, but I'll talk about the specifics when I see him. Then you just said that Xue Chi is a little smaller than Xue Pan, so is he in poor health?"

Shi thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, I think Brother Chi should be in good health. Think about it, after spending so many days on the boat, he should be mentally ill, but I think the Xue family is in good health. The three are all very energetic, not trying to force their spirits. It’s just that I think Brother Chi may not be very talkative.”

Wang Ziteng asked, "I don't like talking very much. How do I talk? Is it because I can't talk, or I don't like talking by nature?"

Shi Shi paused, "I don't know. Today he speaks less. He usually asks An to answer something, and then he speaks. Brother Pan and Haoer talk about everything else. But I feel that Brother Chi may not have a good heart." Kind of, probably the second brother-in-law told him not to let him talk too much!" Speaking of this, Shi couldn't help laughing.

Wang Ziteng was drinking tea with his head down, when he heard the words, he raised his head, "Why, what's so funny, come and tell me."

"The old lady asked Brother Pan how many times, what kind of pastimes do you usually have, Brother Pan and Haoer answered very well, but something happened when it was Brother Chi's turn." Speaking of this, Shi couldn't help laughing .

"Oh, what's the question that made Madam laugh so much?" Wang Ziteng became more and more interested.

Shi calmed down and said, "Brother Chi said that he likes to walk around the streets on weekdays and follow Master everywhere. The old lady thought she had heard wrong. No one said that she likes to hang out, so she asked again, but Chi But brother said it again with a straight face, and said with a straight face that what he said was true, he never lied, and turned his head to Pan brother and Haoer after he finished speaking, asking them for proof. This made the old lady very angry Speechless, but Brother Chi is serious about this issue. He has been trying to tell the old lady that he is telling the truth. Even if the old lady ignores him, he still looks at the old lady with a serious face. In the end, it is better to say something Go round, but Brother Chi is obviously unconvinced, but Brother Pan has been pulling him, I saw Brother Pan pinch him, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself, and looks at Brother Pan in doubt, that scene is terrible Feeling happy."

Wang Ziteng thought about the scene, "I can imagine that when someone makes an astonishing statement without realizing it, the others will be amazed to see it dumbfounded. It seems that Brother Chi is relatively simple-minded!"

Shi Shi nodded, "I think so. This child is very innocent, but maybe he is pretending, but I don't think so. You will know it from many places. It's not urgent."

Wang Ziteng nodded, "I believe that since he was able to worship Cheng Gong as a teacher, there must be something special about him. Although there are not many people who know about his apprenticeship, I do know that he said he came with his family, or he said Anything else?"

Shi thought about it, "I remember that Brother Pan seemed to say that Brother Chi came to the capital at the request of his master, and it should have been written in the letter from the second brother-in-law!" Shi Shi looked at Wang Ziteng suspiciously.

Wang Ziteng nodded unexpectedly, "It was written. Xue Pan and Xue Chi went to Beijing, one was going to be sent to me to learn from me, and the other was requested by Master, so what does it mean that Xue Hao also sent it? Could it be that they met? trouble?"

Shi Shi smiled and looked at Wang Ziteng, "This master didn't expect it, in my opinion, the second sister sent Xue Hao over here, that's the way to treat Xue Hao well."

Wang Ziteng raised his head, "How to say?"

Shi Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "Master is not our woman. We usually think about it as an important matter for the court, but our women worry about the backyard and our children. In my opinion, Brother Pan and Brother Chi are good friends." , and it’s a boy, so you don’t have to worry too much in the future; but this girl is a girl, and according to my observations today, I think it’s a good one, even ordinary petty officials’ families can’t raise it, I guess it’s the second sister I want us to look at some people for Haoer. Haoer is also 9 years old, which is just the right age. Looking at Haoer's appearance and demeanor, Jinling probably can't find any good people who can match her. After all, it has been a long time No matter how much the master thinks highly of the Xue family, this Xue family is an ordinary family after all, and there was an emperor supporting the scene, but now it is indeed an ordinary family in the eyes of others."

Wang Ziteng thought for a while, "Indeed, from our point of view, this family is definitely better than them. If that's the case, madam, please pay more attention."

Shi Shi nodded, "It should be, even if the master doesn't tell me, I will still do it."

Wang Ziteng asked again, "How does Brother Feng feel about the three brothers and sisters of the Xue family?"

Shi replied with a smile, "It should be good. Brother Feng and Haoer have been communicating with each other in the past few years, so Brother Feng specially went to practice calligraphy for this reason!"

Wang Ziteng nodded, "Although our daughter of the Wang family emphasizes that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, I think it's better to learn some characters. When I wanted to teach Brother Feng, she was not happy. It seems that I have a good relationship with this Xue because I am good at communication and went to learn it specially."

Shi also nodded, "That's right, this brother Feng talks about Xue Hao on weekdays, and he also has a lot of good things to say."

"In this way, Xue Hao has something special about her. But after all, she is a daughter's family, and she will marry a good family in the future." Wang Ziteng said lightly, not like Xue Pan and Xue Chi How do you feel about Xue Hao?

Shi said with a smile, "You can't let Brother Feng hear this, or she will have to be anxious with you."

Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment, and stroked his beard, "Indeed, please keep it secret, madam." After speaking, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
