Chapter 37: Wang Conghan
Because there is no such activity as a dragon boat, it is the most exciting time to swim all kinds of diseases after the Dragon Boat Festival. Young men and women will also come out to play with their families, and even the elderly will come out to join in a lively scene.
This year, Bai Yitian was particularly careful. He made an appointment with the Zhou family and caught up with his cousin from Qingzhou. Naturally, he was very happy.
His parents are used to being clean, so he has set up the largest elegant room in Fuhai Building, the largest restaurant in the county, which is enough to accommodate three tables and separated by screens, which is convenient for women and servants to eat together.
Before noon, Anning County was also a rare flow of cars and horses, filling the main streets of the commercial street all the way.
Bai Yitian and Wang Congmeng walked to the "Fuhai Tower" with their maids and girls respectively. Bai Yitian couldn't help but say proudly to Wang Conghan: "Cousin doesn't know that this 'Fuhai Tower' has just invited a cook from the imperial capital. I heard that the craftsmanship is excellent, no worse than Qingzhou Prefecture."
Different from Bai Yitian's joy, Wang Conghan said with a faint expression, "I thought we would eat at home with my aunt and uncle."
Bai Yitian was surprised and said, "Aren't you afraid that my father will talk about learning with you at such a time?"
"You, your uncle is just stricter, and you are so annoyed?" Wang Conghan shook his head. Because of his dissatisfaction with the current situation, his uncle did not allow Bai Yitian to participate in the scientific examination, but he refused to relax his knowledge at all. Bai Yitian inevitably wanted to find an excuse to leave the house. He used to go to his home every two or three months, or called him by letter, but now he is heard that he often to live in that country.
Bai Yitian was stunned and said, "I'm not annoyed, it's just..."
"Even if you just act in front of your uncle." Wang Cong sneered with a cold face and said, "You are different from me..."
Bai Yitian frowned and said, "Cousin,..."
"Don't say that," Wang Cong smiled coldly. "I heard that you are about to live in the countryside now? It's strange that my aunt and uncle didn't scold you this time!"
"Why did you scold me?" Bai Yitian heard the words with a smile on his face.
Seeing his happy appearance, Wang Congmeng, who had never spoken, whispered, "I heard that the Zhou brothers and sisters were just from Shangjia and were looked up by their uncles. They must have some true temperament."
With a white temper, if you don't like it, it's the face of a first-class member, and it won't be given. The ability of learning is still secondary, and the word temperament is even more important. For example, Xu Cong'an, who is at peace with him, also has a similar personality.
Also thinking of the strange doctor Xu, Wang Conghan couldn't help asking Bai Yitian, "I heard from my aunt before that Xu Weng now lives in the Zhou family now? Is that so?"
Bai Yitian said, "Since then, you know Xu Weng's temper. He is used to it casually. He is more casual in the Zhou family than in the county government. He also planted some herbs in the Zhou family, so he is happy to think about Shu."
"Isn't there an elder in the Zhou family?" Wang Congmeng asked curiously.
"Of course," Bai Yitian shook his head and said, "I heard that Brother Bo vaguely revealed that the Zhou family used to have a lot of business, so the business was also big. They should have come back to take refuge. I don't know what the specific situation is."
Wang Conghan said, "If it's just an ordinary businessman, why do you need to take refuge?"
"It is naturally inconvenient to ask more about other people's private affairs." Bai Yitian was not interested in this matter itself and said, "You really should go to court to try the case."
"Cousin's words are extremely true." Wang Congmeng covered his mouth and smiled.
Wang Conhan and his parents have always had a disagreement. The whole house only loved this different mother's sister the most, so he also smiled and said, "I'll beg my uncle to sit for him for two days."
Bai Yitian clapped his hands with great support and smiled, "Meng Niang and I support it. You don't have to go to the 'Fuhai Tower' now, just go back to the county government to get a job."
"I think you're looking for a fight!" Wang Conghan shouted and came with a quick slap, but Bai Yitian had already expected that his hand had already flashed his body, ignored him, and walked into the "Fuhai Tower" with Wang Congmeng Shiran.
"Cousin didn't think about it either," Bai Yitian and Wang Cong muttered upstairs, "I'm not a wooden man. Can he hit me with his skills?"
Wang Congmeng squeezed his lips and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, my cousin is the best!"
"In your heart, you are towards Brother Han," Bai Yitian said sadly, "My cousin has always loved you, which really broke my heart!"
"Peach, go and ask Xiao Er to bring a big bowl," Wang Congmeng said with a smile to the girl behind him, "To take tears for my cousin, you need to use a big bowl."
Wang Conghan, who caught up, also said, "It's best to have such a big sea bowl." Reach out and draw half a circle.
Bai Yitian covered his chest and said with grief, "Meng Niang was also broken by her cousin."
Walking through a relatively dark corridor, he pushed the door into the elegant room, walked straight to the window and said, "I'm not popular, so I'll jump off from here."
Wang Conghan held a folding fan, unfolded with a smile, and said, "If you jump on yours, we will never stop you."
The tone of his words was extremely gentle, and Bai Yitian looked at the sky helplessly, "Oh, on, on, it's not that God wants to stop me, but my cousin!"
After all, Wang Congmeng came to stop him, took his arm, and said with a smile, "Cousin, stop playing. Tell Menger about your new pine egg in Anning County? I don't know if there is any in this 'Fuhai Building'?
Wang Cong Hanqi said, "'Mix egg'? What is that?"
Bai Yitian is selling the key: "I won't tell you!"
Wang Conhan said, "Anyway, I'll know if I ask Xiao Er later."
"The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family are coming. I'm afraid they will laugh to death when they hear this." Bai Yitian smiled.
What's wrong with the countryman in here? Wang Conghan was very curious, but looking at Bai Yitian's arrogant face, he naturally would not let him succeed.
Aware of Wang Conhan's dissatisfaction, Bai Yitian directly made it clear: "Although the Zhou brothers and sisters are low, they are noble, and Brother Bo is a good friend of Yitian. I hope my cousin can't be less than him, okay?"
Who is Wang Conghan? The young man is very smart. From the attitude of his uncle and Xu Cong'an, it can be seen that Zhou's family is not an ordinary family, but it is not so easy for him to look up.
My only cousin is closer to him than the younger brothers in the family. He won't sweep his face, so he restrained his mind and said lazily, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Mr. Bai!"
Wang Conghan's father is the magistrate of Qingzhou, and his mother died early. Now the magistrate's wife Wen has only one daughter from the dream. Although he is the eldest son of the family, he is not close to his famous stepmother. Wang Zhifu has many concubines and maidservants, and there are five or six concubines in the family. His mother was angry to death because she couldn't stand it, so it also made Wang Conghan's personality more extreme.
Wang Congmeng has a soft personality. Although he is the direct daughter, he sometimes gets angry because of his personality. He has protected this girl since he was a child.
"It's coming!" He has been looking at the window without saying a word.
After a while, the Zhou brothers and sisters have been attentively welcomed to the second floor by Xiao Er and sent to the elegant room.
Bai Yitian took the lead and pulled Zhou Bo and Er Niang and said, "Come on, let me introduce it to Brother Bo. This is my cousin Wang Zi Zi Han. This little lady is my cousin, Wang Coneng."
