Chapter 88: The w.a.n.g Clan!
“Big aunt!”
Gazing at that face, a delighted expression spread over w.a.n.g Chong’s face. It was Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang and Uncle Li Lin.
“Hehe, Chong-er, you’re here. Xiao Yao as well.”
Big aunt looked at w.a.n.g Chong and little sister pa.s.sionately, as though they were her own children.
“Hehe, Chun Yuan, they are just children, there is no need for you to quarrel with them. Just let them be. Today is father’s birthday, we should discuss on how we could avoid any accidents to please him instead.”
Big aunt quickly stood out and cleared up the situation. As she spoke, she sent an inconspicuous blink at w.a.n.g Chong.
Understanding her intentions, w.a.n.g Chong smiled and pulled his little sister to the side.
In the previous life, Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang was actually quite close with Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun. However, everything changed in this world. With w.a.n.g Chong’s help, not only was Uncle Li Lin deployed from the North Gates to come under Zhao Fengchen, he was even promoted.
As such, w.a.n.g Ru Shuang might be even fonder of w.a.n.g Chong than her own son now!
The ruckus in big uncle’s carriage abruptly came to a halt.
“Hehe, Ru Shuang is here.”
Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun’s head appeared from the window. She looked at w.a.n.g Ru Shuang’s carriage with welcoming eyes. Her att.i.tude was completely different from how she treated w.a.n.g Chong’s mother previously.
w.a.n.g Chong’s grandfather has a total of three sons and one daughter, and Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang was his only daughter. In her body flowed Duke Jiu’s blood.
On top of that, Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang was married out, and she wasn’t in line for the inheritance. As such, there wasn’t any conflict between her and Xing Yuan Chun.
In this aspect, she was much different from w.a.n.g Chong’s mother.
“Hehe, it’s been awhile since we last met, and Yuan Chun, you are looking better and better. You don’t seem like you’re in our age group at all. Look at me, white hairs are starting to sprout already!”
“Really? Big sister, you shouldn’t say that of yourself. You don’t look old at all…”
A healthy red glow was on Xing Yuan Chun’s face, and a wide smile hung on her lips. Suddenly, a cold harrumph echoed from her carriage. Peng, the doors of the green carriage was opened from the inside. A tall figure emitting a deep aura walked out.
The abrupt situation left everyone stunned.
“Cousin!”
w.a.n.g Chong and his little sister were taken aback for a moment before they got a grasp of what was going on. From the doors of the carriage, the figure with an impatient look was no other than w.a.n.g Chong’s cousin, w.a.n.g Li.
“This child! How can you behave like that before your big aunt, hurry up and greet her!”
Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun called.
However, w.a.n.g Li seemed as if he didn’t hear her words at all, and he didn’t even spare a glance to Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang. Walking out of the carriage, he headed straight in.
w.a.n.g Li was both a son of the main family of the w.a.n.g Clan and he was an official of the royal court. The old master has given him special permission, thus the Imperial Army guards didn’t even stop him, allowing him to walk through.
In the blink of an eye, w.a.n.g Li disappeared on the road by the bamboo forest Throughout the entire process, not a single guard paid him any attention.
“It must be the matter before…”
A thought flashed through w.a.n.g Chong’s mind. No one could be more aware than him how ambitious Cousin w.a.n.g Li was.
In the third generation offsprings, Cousin w.a.n.g Li has been competing against w.a.n.g Chong’s two elder brothers, especially his eldest brother. However, despite being the eldest son of the main family, he wasn’t a match for Eldest Brother w.a.n.g Fu.
Even his official rank was beneath him!
This time, due to the interference of the Yao Clan, his chance at promotion was wrecked. It was obvious what Cousin w.a.n.g Li thought of the matter.
“This child…”
Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun watched sheepishly as her son’s figure disappeared amidst the trees.
“Alright! Let’s not talk anymore and alight from the carriage!”
It was Big Uncle w.a.n.g Gen’s voice. Right after he said those words, he stepped out from the carriage. Before he came out, he glanced at w.a.n.g Chong and nodded. After which, a worried look plagued his face once more as he proceeded forward.
As the eldest son of the w.a.n.g Clan, as well as an important official in the royal court, big uncle would often come to the Four Quarters Emba.s.sy to consult the old master on some political questions.
As such, he was also another exception to the rules of the Four Quarters Emba.s.sy.
Soon, big uncle also pa.s.sed by the sentry post and disappeared amidst the bamboo forest.
“Ru Shuang, shall we enter as well?”
“I’ll pa.s.s! It’s a rare occasion for my fourth brother to come down from Tianzhu Mountain to attend father’s birthday, so I’ll wait for him here and enter along with him.”
w.a.n.g Ru Shuang shook her head. She glanced purposefully at w.a.n.g Chong.
Xing Yuan Chun didn’t insist on the matter. Alighting from the carriage, she harrumphed coldly beside w.a.n.g Chong’s mother before walking into the bamboo forest.
w.a.n.g Zhu Yan was the final one to alight. Only after Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun’s figure disappeared completely did she silently step out of the carriage. Without Xing Yuan Chun’s presence, the atmosphere felt much more harmonious.
“Aunt!”
w.a.n.g Zhu Yan walked over to w.a.n.g Chong’s mother and apologized:
“My mother’s words are a little nasty, but she isn’t a bad person. I’ll apologize in her stead, so please don’t take her words to heart.”
“Hehe, silly child. There’s no need for you apologize, I’m fine.”
w.a.n.g Chong’s mother shook her head with a smile.
“Indeed, Shu Hua. That’s just how Yuan Chun’s personality is. You should just let her words enter from one ear and leave from the other.”
Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang added in.
The aunt and niece chatted for a few moment before they turned their gazes simultaneously at w.a.n.g Chong. Gedeng, w.a.n.g Chong’s heart skipped a beat. Big aunt’s gaze was one thing, but Cousin w.a.n.g Zhu Yan’s eyes were filled with bad intentions, as though she was looking at a piece of fat and tasty meat.
“Tsk tsk, isn’t this our family’s little Tao Zhu Gong? Why, do you not remember your Second Sister after earning some money?”
(Tao Zhu Gong is a famous businessman in the Spring and Autumn Period)
“How would I dare to!”
w.a.n.g Chong smiled sheepishly. Upon seeing this sight, w.a.n.g Chong’s big aunt, uncle, and mother couldn’t help but chuckle. Even though w.a.n.g Chong has saved the w.a.n.g Clan from a crisis and earned a huge sum of money, he was unable to maintain the same impressive image before his Cousin w.a.n.g Zhu Yan. It was as though he has met his nemesis.
“Where’s my portion? After earning so much money, it can’t be that you wish to dump your Second Sister aside?”
w.a.n.g Zhu Yan stretched out her hands and rubbed her thumb with her forefinger and middle finger.
“How could this be? I’ve put aside a makeup fund just for you. Whenever you need it, inform me and I’ll send it over to you.”
w.a.n.g Chong said.
“That’s more like it!”
w.a.n.g Zhu Yan said, but soon, she couldn’t hold herself back any longer and burst out laughing.
The moment w.a.n.g Zhu Yan laughed, the others followed suit. Only w.a.n.g Chong was rubbing his nose awkwardly.
“Right, don’t leave right after the birthday banquet later on. I’ve something I need to talk to you about.”
w.a.n.g Zhu Yan suddenly said.
w.a.n.g Chong was surprised.
His cousin rarely had anything that she needed him for, not to mention, on such an important occasion.
“Alright.”
Even though w.a.n.g Chong was perplexed, he nodded in agreement.
Even though his cousin was smiling on the surface, w.a.n.g Chong could tell that she was serious. Usually, when she put on such an expression, it meant that the matter was extremely important.
w.a.n.g Chong didn’t dare to be negligent.
“Remember to wait for me later on. Don’t forget.”
Only then did w.a.n.g Zhu Yan nod her head in satisfaction. Then, bidding w.a.n.g Chong’s mother and Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang farewell, she walked into the bamboo forest.
After w.a.n.g Zhu Yan left, w.a.n.g Ru Shuang walked up to w.a.n.g Chong. Her gaze was extremely gentle, and a sliver of grat.i.tude could be seen in it.
“Child, thank you!”
w.a.n.g Ru Shuang said in grat.i.tude. Since her brother and his wife wasn’t here, there wasn’t any need for her to hide anything at all. Regarding the issue of her husband, Li Lin, she had pleaded with the old master for countless times.
However, the old master was simply too obstinate. The decisions he made couldn’t be changed, and w.a.n.g Ru Shuang had already fallen into despair. She thought that her husband would remain as a mere section leader at the North Gates until death.
The change came too suddenly!
w.a.n.g Ru Shuang could have never imagined that the one who would solve her dilemma would be the nephew whom she always thought to be rebellious and profligate.
Within an extremely short period of time, not only was her husband Li Lin deployed out of the North Gates, he was even promoted.
Even until now, w.a.n.g Ru Shuang still found it hard to believe that it wasn’t just a dream.
“Big aunt, there’s no need to thank me. We’re one family. Besides, uncle has also helped me as well.”
w.a.n.g Chong glanced at Uncle Li Lin, who was standing behind Big Aunt w.a.n.g Ru Shuang. w.a.n.g Chong was speaking the truth, but when those words reached w.a.n.g Ru Shuang’s ears, it sounded as though he was being humble. She couldn’t help but feel even more grateful.
“This child… Chong-er, you should visit big aunt more often, and interact more with your cousin w.a.n.g Liang. ——w.a.n.g Liang, your cousin is here. Come down!”
At the end, she turned to her carriage and bellowed.
“Wait a moment! Allow me to finish this wooden bird carving first. This is one of the hottest product in the capital now, and it is worth five silver taels each. If it can fly, it’ll be worth ten. Once I make a few more of these, I’ll surely be able to earn a sizeable sum!”
The person in the carriage sounded as though he was immersed in the task he was engaged in.
“w.a.n.g Liang!”
w.a.n.g Ru Shuang’s face steeled as she flew into a temper.
Listening to those words, w.a.n.g Chong couldn’t help but chuckle. Those words could have only come out from the mouth of his Cousin w.a.n.g Liang. Cousin w.a.n.g Liang wasn’t interested in academics or martial arts, the only thing he was devoted to was conducting business and earning money.
Sensitive to the market conditions, he was always able to detect business opportunities and earn a sum. The only problem was that:
Just like he said, he could only earn five silver taels to ten silver taels each time… This was just pocket change!
Hearing the sound of wood being shaved from the carriage, Cousin w.a.n.g Liang was clearly still busy.
“This child…”
w.a.n.g Ru Shuang felt helpless:
“Forget it, Shu Hua. It’s already about time. There should be a while before fourth brother comes, so let’s enter first.”
Not too far away, the Imperial Army experts split apart, opening up a path.
The old master had already relayed the news that they could enter.
The group walked into the depths of the Four Quarters Emba.s.sy.
The place where the old master resided was called ‘Erudite Pavilion’, and there were countless experts guarding the compounds. When w.a.n.g Chong and his mother walked in, big uncle and big aunt were already in there along with w.a.n.g Zhu Yan and w.a.n.g Li. They were standing in a line respectfully, and the entire atmosphere felt solemn.
Even though Cousin w.a.n.g Liang was slightly rebellious, he still put on an extremely obedient look at this moment, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
See how confusing it gets -_-
Cousin here cousin there big aunt here and big aunt there.
w.a.n.g Li, w.a.n.g Liang, w.a.n.g Zhu Yan are all older than w.a.n.g Chong.
