Chapter 323: Being Schemed
When Wang Anshi returned to Beijing to report on his work, he had already proposed a reform proposal, but it was not adopted by the officials at the time. This also made Wang Anshi a little disappointed and wanted to resign.
Wang Yue saw clearly. He looked at the younger version of Wang Anshi, smiled and comforted, "The official family is old. Of course, stability is the priority at this time. It is of course impossible for my uncle to implement changes nationwide. The official family I'm also afraid of causing turmoil."
Wang Anshi saw that Wang Yue was very supportive of his reform, but seemed to have his own ideas, so he really wanted to hear his nephew's opinion, so he asked with a smile, "My dear nephew, tell me, What do you think?"
Wang Yue thought of the future special zone model and said with a smile, "Reform is a major event, so we can't be impatient. It's not too much to think of it as a century-old plan. We can't think of it happening overnight, otherwise there will be too much movement. It's too big, it's better to choose one state and one county as a pilot to see the effect of the reform first. If the effect of the reform is good, we won't need to push it at all, and those who are interested in the interests will soon follow the implementation of the reform. At the same time, We can also summarize the shortcomings of the reform here. This is better than implementing it nationwide at once, and it is more stable." Wang Anshi was a little excited after hearing Wang Yue's idea of the pilot
project. He is a Enterprising people want to make their country strong. If his opinions had not been adopted, he would not have thought of going into seclusion.
Now that Wang Anshi heard Wang Yue's compromise opinion, his anger returned. He also knew that Wang Yue was right. As officials get older, they strive to be safe. This is understandable. He wanted to further improve Wang Yue's pilot concept before proposing it to the officials.
With Wang Anshi having his own things to do, he left Wang Yue to do his own thing, which was equivalent to giving Wang Yue a holiday in disguise.
Wang Yue was also happy and at ease. The royal collection was rich, and Wang Yue, who had nothing to do, always read through it.
The last time Sheng Hong was reprimanded by the officials, the family's eldest lady and Lin Xiaoniang almost had a falling out. Sheng Hong, who was already frightened, was so angry that he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he immediately thought of Mrs. Sheng's kindness.
So, after Sheng Hong dealt with the affairs at home, he took Old Mrs. Sheng, who was enjoying the blessings from Wang Yue, back to his home. He wanted Old Mrs. Sheng to sit at home and manage the house.
Old Mrs. Sheng was speechless. She enjoyed her time in Wang Yue's village and felt her body relaxed. She felt that if she lived there for one winter every year, she could live until Minglan's children grew up.
After being recuperated by Wang Yue's prescription and being forced to practice martial arts by Xiao Changdong, Wei Xiaoniang's body has improved a bit. It's not that she has developed internal skills, but that her face has some color and is no longer as pale and weak as before.
What Wang Yue taught Chang Dong was originally to strengthen his body, so that Wei Xiaoniang, a housewife, could live for a while every day, and no longer move every half a day like before. Her body naturally got better, and she was already on par with healthy people. Not much different.
Changdong's body recovered better, and he practiced his martial arts moves in a decent manner. Minglan also practiced and looked much better.
Several of them, including Ru Lan, were on vacation alone. Except for the time when Aunt Kong came for training, which made her feel a little aggrieved, the rest of the day was not too comfortable and she was all fat. A few kilograms.
When Sheng Hong picked up his mother at his door, he saw the three children and Wei Xiaoniang getting off the carriage. His first reaction was not that the children looked better, but that he should take time to go to Wangyue Village for a vacation. It’s also so nurturing.
Of course, it was impossible for Old Mrs. Sheng to take care of the house by herself. After returning to her yard, she smiled and said to Sheng Hong, who was following eagerly, "This is in the capital. If you change my housekeeper rashly, people will question the lady. It's better to let Minglan be the housekeeper. When she was studying before, she compiled a booklet, which I found to be very organized."
Sheng Hong read Minglan's booklet and got some ideas. He saw that the old lady really didn't want to stand out. I also feel that letting the elder sister of the family take care of the house on behalf of the eldest lady, and outsiders would only think of it as training before leaving the cabinet, is the best of both worlds.
Time passed very quickly. On this day, Mrs. Wu of the Earl's Palace of Yongchang held a polo match and invited many young brothers and sisters in Tokyo. Wang Yue, the new beauty prospector, was also invited.
Wang Yue was reading leisurely in the Hanlin Academy. He didn't plan to go there originally, but Wang Anshi didn't know what he was thinking. He specially gave him and Chang Bai a holiday and let them go to the polo club together.
Before Wang Yue and Chang Bai came to the polo club, the focus of the polo club was Qi Heng, the young master of Qi Mansion. But after Wang Yan and Chang Bai arrived, the two new Hanlin officials immediately attracted a lot of people. of attention.
In particular, Wang Yue, the newly promoted prostitute, attracted many women of marriageable age to watch secretly.
Changbai was not used to such an occasion. Being looked at by those women who looked like tigers and wolves made him feel a little nervous. If Wang Yue hadn't been there, he would have been in the same boat.
Wang Yue ignored the looks of others and walked calmly to the arranged seat. Changbai glanced at Wang Yue and quickly followed.
When they arrived at the seat, before Wang Yue could sit down, Minglan walked up to Wang Yue and Chang Bai with a young woman.
Wang Yue looked at Minglan who was walking in front of them, and without waiting for them to salute, he smiled and asked, "Sixth sister, what's the matter with you running over in such a hurry?" Minglan looked at Wang Yue and looked at her
, He said to Wang Yue with a smile like a flower, "One of the prizes in the polo match is a relic of sister Yanran's mother. I want you to help participate in a polo match." Wang Yue was a little hesitant. He just wanted to come for a formality, but
for The two girls looked at him with pleading eyes and nodded helplessly.
The polo match requires a man and a woman. Yu Yanran originally wanted to participate in the polo match with Wang Yue because she heard from Minglan that Wang Yue was skilled in bow and horse and must be good at polo. As long as he played, he would definitely win.
But Yu Yanran saw the expression Minglan looked at Wang Yue, so she excused herself from feeling uncomfortable and let Minglan play.
With Wang Yue on the horse and Minglan now in good physical condition, there was certainly no suspense in the game and he easily won the prize.
Wang Yue glanced at the stadium that was filled with excitement because Wang Yue came on the field, and then at the happy Minglan and Yu Yanran. He said a little depressed, "I have been harmed by you two. After this incident, I feel There will no longer be peace in my family.”
Yu Yanran was not very familiar with Wang Yue, so she didn't speak. She just covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She was afraid that she would be rude if she laughed.
Minglan was happy at the moment. He shook his head indifferently and said with a smile, "With Brother Wang's ability, he shouldn't care about those troubles."
Wang Yue looked at the expressions of the two people and pretended to be very serious. He said distressedly, "I don't care about those troublesome things. It's just that there are too many people I'm kissing, which disturbs my peace." After hearing
Wang Yue's words, Yu Yanran and Minglan couldn't help laughing.
Changbai glanced at Wang Yue speechlessly. He didn't expect that Wang Yue had such an unruly side.
...
Wang Yue originally thought that the most trouble this polo match would bring to him would be the spread of peach blossoms, but he didn't expect that the most troublesome thing would be caused by Minglan.
At the polo match, Wang Yue and Ming Lan worked together so well that many people were curious about the two of them and felt that they must have something to do with each other.
Such rumors quickly reached Sheng Hong's ears after several days of fermentation.
Sheng Hong was very concerned about his reputation. After hearing these rumors, he was very angry at Ming Lan's intimate behavior with Wang Yue in full view of the public, and punished Ming Lan to kneel in the ancestral hall.
After Xiaotao saw Minglan being punished, she secretly ran out of Sheng Mansion and came to Wang Yue's house.
Wang Yue was reading a book when he heard Xiao Tao next to Ming Lan running into his home. He was surprised and asked his servants to invite her in.
After Xiao Tao came over, Wang Yue asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with Ming girl? Why do you come here so easily?"
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to smile? My young lady was punished by the master to kneel down in the ancestral hall just because you played polo with him."
Wang Yue was stunned by Xiao Tao's words. He only cared about having fun on the court and forgot to keep a distance from Minglan. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that this world is not the world of Tianlong, and it has very strict requirements for women.
Wang Yue and Ming Lan behaved a bit close to each other at the polo meet, which must have caused others to misunderstand, and in turn caused some damage to Ming Lan's reputation.
Wang Yue didn't expect these situations, but Minglan must have thought of it. She was still willing to play polo with Wang Yue so intimately. The little girl's thoughts were already very clear.
Of course, Wang Yue couldn't let a little girl endure rumors. Under Xiao Tao's angry eyes, he decisively sent someone to notify Wang Anshi, preparing to entrust him to propose marriage to the Sheng family.
Wang Anshi had long been entrusted by Father Wang to help Wang Yue propose marriage at any time. After listening to Wang Yue's request, he went to Sheng's house with the gift prepared by Wang Yue without saying a word.
While Minglan was still kneeling in the ancestral hall, Wang Anshi and Sheng Hong had already agreed on the marriage of Minglan and Wang Yue.
Since Sheng and Cangbai were discussing marriage, and the wedding would only happen in the next few days, Sheng Hong decided to set the wedding date for Wang Yue and Minglan in the coming spring.
Wang Anshi did not have any requirements for the wedding date. He knew that Wang Yue was not in a hurry. Wang Yue just wanted to restore Minglan's reputation, which made Wang Anshi admire Wang Yue very much.
When Minglan came out of the ancestral hall, she realized that she was engaged to Wang Yue. From today on, she would also embroider the wedding dress behind closed doors. She had just obtained the housekeeper rights and returned to the eldest lady. in hand.
After everything settled, Wang Yue suddenly felt that something was not right. He suddenly felt that he might have been plotted against.
