Master of Rebirth

Chapter 12 Gifts

Seeing that everything that should be done was almost done, Wang Qi got up and said goodbye.

Dong Jue was very happy, not only sent Wang Qi out of the house graciously, but also took some expensive New Year's goods from the cabinet, and stuffed them into Wang Qi's hands.

Holding a stack of gift boxes, Wang Sheng asked inexplicably, "Why is Master Dong so enthusiastic today, and gave him so many good things?"

"It's nothing." Wang Qi smiled and said, "It's just that your young master is going to do business with young master Dong."

Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he was a little happy.He is the clearest about Wang Qi's current situation.Since Wang Hui left, the business of the Wang family has nothing to do with Wang Qi.Although Wang Feng still paid dividends to Wang Qi according to Wang Hui's rules when he was there, the money he actually got was getting worse day by day.

In the past few months, Wang Feng simply used the loss of business as an excuse. Not only did he cut off Wang Qi's dividends, but he also came here every day to cry for poverty, persuading Wang Qi to use money to support the family's business.Although Wang Qi has some money in his hand, he can survive for a few years with a little money.But even if you live frugally, you can't afford to sit and eat.

"It's a good thing that the young master can make plans for himself as soon as possible." Seeing that his young master has already started to make plans for himself, although Wang Sheng was happy, he couldn't help worrying: "Although you are close to Mr. Dong, it is also difficult to do business with him." You have to be cautious. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, no matter how good the relationship is, once interests are involved, they will turn against each other. You only have this one friend. "

That's a good thing to say, Wang Qi followed with a sigh.Right now, it is also a helpless move. The business field in Pingyao County is dominated by the Wang family, and his every move cannot escape the eyes of the second uncle.If there is any trouble, it will definitely be suppressed by the second uncle and Wang Long.Before he is able to plan a way out for himself, he must have enough money as capital, otherwise everything is empty talk.If he wanted to make money without telling third uncle, besides Dong Jue, he couldn't find anyone else he could trust.

Besides, Wang Qi didn't do this just for herself.In the last life, Dong Jue died in an accident because he was out on business, and his body was never found.If Dong Jue hadn't died, he wouldn't have had such a hard time after being kicked out of the Wang family, without even a helper.No matter what, Dong Jue has been his friend since childhood, and he must find a way to save him in this life.

When Wang Qi returned home, the banquet had already started for a long time.Of course, the whole family didn't wait for him, they had already eaten enough, and they were gathering around to play with the children.

Seeing the talking and laughing family and the table full of leftovers, Wang Qi smiled mockingly and didn't care.

Wrapped into a rice dumpling, Wang Fu was held in the arms of Wang Long's official wife, Xue Shi, and accepted the "admiration" of the crowd.

Wang Yao's children are young and have not yet married, and it has not yet come for him to embrace his grandson.Wang Fu considered Wang Yao to be his grandfather. When they met for the first time, Wang Yao naturally liked it. He kept praising the child for his good looks, and even the red envelopes were big. Wang Long and Xue Shi were so happy.

Looking at Wang Long and Xue's appearance of taking advantage of everything, Wang Qi really didn't understand why they were still so blind to money and couldn't get on the stage, even though they were born in a wealthy family and had never been short of money since childhood.

Seeing the lively chatting of other people's families, it is obvious that they can't get in.Wang Qi simply put the "Quick Snow and Sunny Post" back into her sleeve.

Apart from leftovers, there was not even a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks on the table, obviously no place for him was prepared.Seeing this scene, Wang Qi sneered again.

Because Wang Sheng had too many presents in his hand, Wang Qi was afraid of being seen by Wang Li and Wang Long and causing trouble, so he sent him back to Dongyuan first.Now there is not even a messenger around, and the servants around Wang Lishi are very airy, and they know that Wang Qi is not welcome, so they don't usually treat him as a serious master.Even if he ordered them to do things, most of them were perfunctory, anyway, Wang Qi did not dare to seriously pursue their faults.

Knowing that ordering these people to get the bowls and chopsticks would only give them a chance to disgust themselves, Wang Qi simply ate at Dong Jue's, and was not interested in the leftovers on the table, so she picked a seat far away and sat down.

"Where did you go, young master? Why haven't you seen me just now?" The first person who found Wang Qi was Jia Min'er who was also neglected.

Although she was favored at the beginning, she didn't live up to expectations. She has been in the door for more than a year, and she didn't make any movement at all.Wang Long likes the new and dislikes the old, and married a few new concubines, so Jia Miner's treatment is naturally not as good as before.

However, Mrs. Xue resented her arrogance when she was favored, and threw her face from time to time.Firstly, Jia Min'er had no family background to rely on, and secondly, she had no children, so naturally she didn't dare to contradict the eldest lady, and her life was not happy, so she could only do her best to please Wang Long.Jia Min'er knew that Wang Long didn't like Wang Qi, so she often used Wang Qi's old feelings for her to trip him up.

Jia Min'er's sudden opening of the mouth really drew everyone's eyes away from the child and onto Wang Qi.

If it was left in the past, Wang Qi would definitely be moved, thinking that Jia Min'er was the only person in the family who cared about him, even if she married Wang Long, she would sincerely regard him as her own family.But now, Wang Qi just wanted to sneer.

Looking around at the cousin's family with malicious intentions and the servants watching the jokes with wide eyes, Wang Qi knew that a good show was about to start.The corner of his mouth hooked slightly, and Shi Shiran stood up.

"What did you do, why are you here now?" When Wang Li saw Wang Qi, his expression was really ugly.

Wang Long took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames, and made up the knife with ulterior motives: "Brother, third uncle finally came here, and he loves you so much, why are you here now? We have used up all the lunch. Do you have anything to say?" , my brother will help you do it."

On the surface, it sounds like he cares about his elder brother, but in fact, it implies that Wang Qi came too late and doesn't respect his elders.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Li's complexion completely sank, "Qi'er, as the eldest grandson of the family, why are you so ignorant of the rules, not as familiar as your younger brother. Knowing that today is our family's reunion Banquet, come here so late, do you want the elders to wait for you?"

"Grandma, don't say that, maybe the eldest brother is delayed by something." Seeing Wang Qi being scolded, Wang Long pretended to persuade him a few words, and watched Wang Qi being scolded in his spare time.

The anger in Wang Li's heart became even stronger: "You don't need to speak for him, can't you just take care of things later? I don't expect him to be as filial as you, but he should understand the minimum etiquette."

Seeing that Wang Lishi was very "angry", Jia Min'er quickly got up, walked to her side, and thoughtfully helped her calm down, "Don't be angry, old lady, maybe the young master has something important to do, let's go." In a hurry, I forgot for a while."

"He doesn't need to be tested in the township examination, and he doesn't need to worry about the family's business. He just idles around all day, what else can he do urgently?" Wang Li said every word to his heart.

Wang Yao was originally displeased with Wang Qi's lateness, but after hearing what Wang Li said, he thought it was too much, and quickly said, "How can mother say that?"

"You, don't plead for him. Look at him, does he still look like the eldest grandson? Our Wang family will lose all face. You don't know, he doesn't care about the business of the family, he only knows about it all day long. Lie in the house, and go out for a stroll when you have nothing to do. If he has half the energy of Long Er, I can save a lot of worry." Wang Lishi looked like he hated iron and steel.

"I want to take care of the family's business. Does the second uncle dare to let me intervene?" Wang Qi sneered in her heart, looking at Wang Li's "angry and indisputable" face, she said slowly: "Grandma misunderstood, how dare grandson be right?" The third uncle is disrespectful. It was just a gift prepared for the third uncle, so it was delayed."

"What's the big deal for you to prepare for so long?" Wang Li said angrily, "Look at you, you don't know how to admit you made a mistake, and you still think about these excuses for yourself all day long."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "This gift is very precious. My grandson dare not give it to others, so I can only get it myself."

"I don't know what good things Qi'er found for Third Uncle?" Seeing that Wang Lishi was really angry, afraid that she would say something worse to provoke Wang Qi, Wang Yao hurriedly changed the topic, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Wang Qi respectfully said: "The last time my third uncle came and said he liked Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Qi'er has been thinking about it all the time. It's just a coincidence that I really found it."

"Qi'er really has a heart." Wang Yao also searched for Wang Xizhi's authentic works for many years, but unfortunately he found very little.He naturally didn't believe that Wang Qi, a yellow-haired boy, was capable of finding the authentic work, but no matter what, he was grateful for Wang Qi's heart, "I don't know which picture you found? It can't be "Lanting Preface", right? .”

This is a bit of a joke. The "Lanting Preface" has been lost for many years. I don't know which emperor was buried with it. How could I find it.

Wang Qi didn't expect Wang Yao to believe him, but took out the copybook from her sleeve unhurriedly, opened it carefully, and then handed it up respectfully, "It's not "The Preface to the Lanting Collection", it's this "Quick Snow and Sunshine" post."

""Quick Snow and Sunshine Calligraphy" is also a masterpiece of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. It is not easy to see the real work." Wang Yao smiled, took it over and glanced at it, and then never looked away.

Seeing her son's sudden silence and staring at a piece of writing, Wang Li said worriedly, "Son, are you okay?"

"This, this...seems to be the real work." Wang Yao was incoherent with excitement, and even his hands trembled slightly.

Wang Yao was born in the imperial examinations. After entering the officialdom, he often interacted with literati and scholars, and was influenced by his father-in-law, who was highly accomplished in calligraphy and painting. After so many years of being influenced by his ears and eyes, he has developed a pair of discerning eyes.With the authenticity in front, even if you can't be [-]% sure, you can still be sure about it.

Seeing Uncle San's excitement, Wang Long gave Wang Qi a disconvinced look, and wanted to snatch the copybook from Wang Yao's hands to have a look, and said, "Uncle San, what's so great about this piece of paper? "

"Take it easy, don't break it." Seeing Wang Long's rude actions, Wang Yao became anxious, and opened his hand with a "snap", which was not insignificant.

Unexpectedly, Wang Long was in pain, but he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction. He could only withdraw his beaten hand in embarrassment, hoping that the scene just now would not attract people's attention.

Wang Yao couldn't put it down for the copybook, and his tone of voice when talking to Wang Qi was a bit warmer, "Qi'er, I didn't expect you to find such a precious thing. Third uncle underestimated you."

"It's as long as third uncle likes it." Wang Qi said neither humble nor overbearing.

Wang Li didn't know why his son was so happy all of a sudden, so he hurriedly asked, "My son, what is that piece of paper? It's worth your fuss?"

First determine the style of the font and the newness of the ink on the paper, and finally look at the seal.Only then did Wang Yao carefully put away the copybook, and then explained to Wang Lishi: "My mother doesn't know, this is not an ordinary piece of paper, it is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Wang Xizhi is a master of calligraphy, and there are only a few authentic copies handed down. There are not many of them, and each one is hard to find. My father-in-law is obsessed with calligraphy and loves Wang Xizhi the most. If he sees this "Quick Snow and Sunshine Poster", he will be very happy. Qi'er is really amazing. Uncle is an eye-opener!"

Seeing that Wang Qi made Wang Yao so happy with just one word, and even flattered the Prime Minister, everyone present looked very unhappy.Especially Wang Lishi and Wang Long, almost described as gnashing their teeth.

Looking at their wonderful faces, Wang Qi smiled heartily, "I can't stand it anymore. Don't worry, the more uncomfortable ones are yet to come."
