Chapter 199 Wang Ziteng’s Thoughts in Volume B

Aunt Xue just wiped away her tears. Her husband had been gone for a few years, and her mood had gradually returned to calm. This was just a moment of sadness when she came to her brother's house.

 She also noticed her brother's burning eyes wandering around her two children, and she was also a little panicked in her heart.

This son had such a big incident in Jinling City. Fortunately, Zhifu had an old relationship with the Xue family and took some care of the Xue family, so the matter was postponed.

Later, I learned that the prefect was going to be replaced, but I didn’t know who the new prefect was, which made the Xue family a little worried.

In the end, there was no choice but to pack up and leave Jinling under the guise that their daughter was waiting for selection in Beijing.

First he went to Songjiang and stayed there for more than a month, and then went to Yangzhou to stay for a few months before setting off for Beijing.

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

Since we were on the road and there was no news from Jinling, we were in a state of panic all the way.

 It was not until Beijing that things finally settled down.

At any rate, my sister married into the Jia Mansion, which was also the residence of the Duke of Guo, and my brother was promoted from the Jiedushi of Beijing to the Governor of Xuanda in the nine-province system. He had great power for a while. Presumably, this relationship can also save his son from prison. Already?

 But seeing her 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.

 Wang Ziteng actually didn't look at Xue Pan much. His mind was on Xue Baochai who was beside Xue Pan.

 The twelve-year-old girl indeed already has a rather rare magnanimity.

The ice muscles are jade bones, the skin is rich and moist.

Especially the tranquility and tranquility between the eyebrows, without the blush on the face or the pink skin on the skin, which makes people feel a little more peaceful.

 Having already made some calculations in his mind, Wang Ziteng turned his attention from Xue Baochai to Xue Pan.

 My sister only has this one son. I never expected that she would be so unsatisfied.

If the Feng family knew about such things, I wonder if it would affect their perception of the Xue family?

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng's face became more serious, "Has the second sister ever known about what Wen Long committed in Jinling?"

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

Struggling to stand up and ask her son to kneel down, Baochai quickly knelt down with her brother. Aunt Xue then stepped forward to greet her brother, but was persuaded by her sister-in-law next to her.

“Second brother, my sister only has this one son, which means she is very lucky. Her late husband passed away early, and my sister has no way to teach her son. Second brother, please be tolerant for your brother-in-law’s sake...”

Aunt Xue bent her legs and was about to kneel down. Her sister-in-law beside her panicked and quickly supported her.

Wizi Teng let out a long sigh and raised his hand to signal, "Get up, Baochai, please get up too."

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

Seeing his brother like this, Baochai naturally did not dare to get up.

 Mrs. Wang Ziteng, on the other hand, helped her sister-in-law to the side and sat down, but she kept wiping her tears with Aunt Xue.

 Wang Ziteng was also helpless.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores, and his sister's life experience is miserable. It seems that the Xue family is also one of the four great families in the past, but it has long since collapsed inside, leaving only an empty frame, but outsiders can't see it.

 Even the eldest son who was just trying to stand up was in such a bad state now that Wang Ziteng became more and more worried about his younger sister's future life.

 At present, this Baochai seems to be quite impressive.

If she can find a good family, it may make her sister's life a little easier for the rest of her life. After all, she is just a daughter.

“This time we did something wrong.” Wang Ziteng considered his words. After all, they were all a family, and he would not say anything false.

"On the Jinling side, it is up to the government to make the judgment, but on the suffering owner's side, we should handle it as well as possible and avoid causing trouble."

As soon as Aunt Xue heard what her brother said, she knew that he must have made an explanation with Jinling, and she felt a huge weight drop in her heart.

As long as we can keep our son safe, everything else is not a problem.

“What the second brother said is that my sister has arranged for the family members there who are accustomed to doing things to deal with it in this way, and they must settle the suffering owner’s side. Please rest assured, second brother.”

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

Although Xue Pan was stupid, he was still a little awakened at this time, and he banged his head on the floor in a hurry.

“It’s okay to ask for forgiveness from my uncle. My nephew is impatient. After this incident, I will definitely change my past mistakes...”

Wang Ziteng didn't believe a word of Xue Pan's words.

It's just that people have said so, so naturally he can't hold on to it any longer, so he can only say calmly: "Wen Long, get up too. It's not my uncle who told you that things are not as good as before. The new emperor Yuji, all matters have not been resolved yet. , a bunch of censors are looking for opportunities to use as excuses to claim credit, if you are caught by the censors, even I can't protect you."

These words are neither light nor heavy, and it is up to each individual to comprehend and understand them.

Xue Pan felt that this was just an excuse from his uncle. Since he woke up, it meant there was nothing to do, so he became carefree, bowed his hands and stood behind his mother.

 Seeing Baochai next to him also frown slightly, he wanted to say a few words to his brother, but in this situation, he could only hold back.

 Wang Ziteng himself did not take Xue Pan seriously.

These kind of people are the source of trouble. Now that the Xue family is in such decline and they don’t know how to love themselves, it will be too late to regret it if something happens to them.

Thinking of this, he really couldn't bear it anymore: "Since my sister has come to the capital, she will live a good life in the capital. The Xue family also has a living in the capital, so I ordered my servants to take good care of themselves and not cause any trouble again."

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

This capital is no different from Jinling, where there are still some acquaintances from all parties, but high-ranking officials and dignitaries can be seen everywhere in this capital, and there is a big shot behind any one of them.

Furthermore, the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital is not as powerful as the one in Nanjing. It seems that even his brother is still a little wary of his position.

"Second brother is right. My sister and her family of three will definitely abide by the teachings and dare not cause trouble." Aunt Xue responded quickly.

"The matter in Jinling has not been completely settled yet. Where is the maid who caused the trouble?" Wang Ziteng asked casually.

"Now I have arrived in Beijing with my sister..." Aunt Xue didn't know what her brother meant.

"If this woman has caused such trouble, let's let her follow Baochai first." Wang Ziteng thought for a while, "If this matter is completely forgotten, I'm afraid it will take some time, and Wenlong will be grounded and not allowed to go out easily. .”

This would cost Xue Pan his life, but under such circumstances, he would never dare to have a quarrel with his uncle.

Aunt Xue also knew that if she wanted to keep her son at home, it would be better to kill him, but at this time she did not dare to respond and could only nod her head.

There was silence in the hall for a while. Wang Ziteng stroked his beard and pondered for a while before saying, "Is Baochai twelve this year?"

"It's already twelve years old." Aunt Xue felt a little strange, but she also felt something, and quickly explained: "The original intention was to try out the candidates for the palace,..."

Wang Ziteng waved his hand, "Not to mention that the time has passed, even if it has not passed, I will not advocate it. There are rules for selecting people in this palace. The concubines of the Great Zhou Dynasty all come from poor families, and the current emperor has never been fond of martial arts. Xun, if you are selected to enter the palace, it will be nothing more than the life of a living dead..."

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

Jia Yuanchun was also elected to the palace. Although she was a female historian, her ideas were somewhat different from those of Aunt Xue. However, given Jia Yuanchun's age and entering the Renshou Palace, the chance of leaving the palace was probably slim.

The Jia family also did a bad job in this matter, causing their own niece to become like this. If she had never entered the palace, wouldn't it be a good match for Feng Ziying?

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

This Xue Baochai looks good, but after all, he lost his father when he was young, and his family background is somewhat poor, so Feng Ziying feels a bit high-spirited.

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

If such a tip is given to the Feng family, I'm afraid the Feng family will also come to inquire about it. Knowing the appearance and demeanor of this girl Baochai, they may also have some concerns.

 Aunt Xue was also surprised when her brother said this about being selected to enter the palace.

She didn't expect that her brother would be so disdainful of being selected for the palace, so what about her sister's Yuan Chun?

　　But she didn't dare to ask these words, so she could only swallow them in her stomach.

“Forget it, where does my sister live now? Has she settled down?”

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ziteng finally recovered his thoughts. We can't rush for such things, we have to figure it out slowly.

"Now my sister's family occupies a house, which is quite quiet. My sister wants to keep a low profile while going to Beijing, so she also wants to stay quiet." Aunt Xue explained.

"Well, this is just right." Wang Ziteng was satisfied with Aunt Xue's arrangement. "Wenlong needs to stay away from the limelight for a while after this incident. We can wait until the situation in Jinling is completely calm before we start worrying about it."

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

The main branch of the Wang family has moved to the capital, but there are still many people in Jinling, but they are all side branches and are gradually declining.

It's just that Prince Teng can't even take care of the Jingzhong clan, so where can he have more energy to take care of Jinling?

But if you carry the banner of the Wang family and don't care about it at all, you are afraid of being stabbed in the back, so you can only give some charity every year for peace of mind.

Thinking about it, although these two younger sisters and niece seemed to be marrying well, and I thought it was the best at the time, now it seems that there are various dissatisfactions in the Wuxun family.

 Especially if the backbone is missing.

 So Wang Ziteng also felt more and more the importance of choosing the right person.
