Chapter 3 Shouzhe! Being Handsome Is the Original Sin

…

After the auction.

Wang Shouzhe declined the invitation from the Tuoba clan and the Tantai clan to stay for a while, and quickly retreated on the pretext of sending his daughter to the academy, so as not to be involved in the whirlpool of the fight between the two parties.

Of course, this reason is true.

The eldest daughter Wang Liyao is nineteen years old this year, and the eldest son Wang Zongan is also sixteen years old. They are both old enough to go to the academy.

Among them, the eldest daughter Wang Liyao is extremely talented and her future achievements are limitless. Wang's platform is too small for her, and she will definitely take the academy route in the future.

A few years ago, he had asked his wife Liu Ruolan to write a letter to her registered master, Master Tianyuan of the Yuanshui Tianhu lineage of Zifu Academy, and informed him of Li Yao's basic situation. And initially reached the intention of recruiting apprentices.

When she went out this time, Wang Shouzhe was planning to send her to the academy along the way.

As for Zong An, although he was not assigned to the Blood Gu King in Wedding Clothes, he had bought pills for him to improve his qualifications over the years, such as the Ling Qi Pill, the Blood Tempering Pill, and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, all of which he had taken in one round.

Last year, Zong An passed the second level of the Shenwu Dynasty trial copy and obtained the primary bloodline qualification improvement fluid. Now that his bloodline has awakened to the second level, he is considered a "genius" in the academy.

However, Zong An was the eldest son and was not suitable for the academy route, and Wang Shouzhe had no intention of letting him join the academy completely.

Sending him there this time means letting him go to the academy to be an ordinary disciple, hang out for a few years, gain experience, broaden his horizons, and prevent him from living under the shadow of the Wang family since childhood and becoming a frog in the well in the future. .

It should be noted that the world is vast, and Changning Guard is just a small part of it.

As the saying goes, "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness." Only when you have seen the vastness of the world can you know how small you are. Only in this way can we always have a fearful heart and not make some low-level mistakes because we think too highly of ourselves.

For example, Yin Yuze of Yinsha Sect is a typical example.

If he didn't think too highly of himself and didn't take Huangfu Huaye and Huangfu Jinhuan seriously at all, how could he be killed so easily with his Yinsha clan's methods of passing down disciples?

…

Half a month later, Wang's motorcade arrived at Longzuo County.

This is Wang Shouzhe's second visit to Longzuo County. The last time he came was to send Luo Qiu and Luo Jing to the palace.

Eleven years later, the city walls of the county are still as majestic and towering as before.

The city wall is mottled with traces of time, but it is still thick and solid, with a heavy sense of oppression, as if it can stand like this for thousands or tens of thousands of years without changing.

However, the Wang family is no longer what it used to be.

Looking at this scene, Wang Shouzhe was filled with emotion.

The last time I came, the Wang family was only from an eighth-grade family, but this time, they were already a dignified seventh-grade family.

There are many great families in Daqian, and their status and treatment are all very different.

When the Wang family came to the county town, they needed to be picked up by their master. Now, with Wang's current status, even without the guidance of the master's family, she can enter the city directly through the VIP passage and enjoy the respectful attitude and envy of the city guards. eyes.

After handing over the name card, the soldiers guarding the city immediately put on warm smiles and led Wang's motorcade to the VIP passage.

Accompanied by the sound of wheels, the motorcade slowly entered the city.

After entering the city, Wang Shouzhe and his party did not visit the Wang family in Longzuo first. Instead, they went to a shop in the South Market.

This shop has three street-facing facades and seven or eight houses for people to live in. The location is quite good. Of course, the price is also very good.

Even with Wang's financial resources, it took a lot of effort and a lot of money to acquire him.

The county town is the county town, and the price of a prosperous shop of the same area is more than ten times that of Changning Wei. Three shops and some houses cost the Wang family nearly 150,000 gold.

Fortunately, the shops now sell mirrors, fine glass products, skin care products and other luxury goods produced by Wang. Even though the business has only been in business for a short period of time and has not yet fully opened up, it can still make thousands of dollars in profit every year.

If such an expensive shop were used to sell salted fish products from the north and south, it might not be possible to repay the money in a hundred years.

The reason why Wang Shouzhe spent a lot of money to get a foothold in the county city was also for the future development of the Wang family. As the Wang family becomes more and more powerful, the number of trips to and from the county will inevitably increase in the future, so they won't always visit the Wang family's house in Longzuo, right?

No matter how good the relationship between the two families is, they have already separated. As time goes by, there will always be inconveniences.

"Fourth brother, younger brothers and sisters, you are here."

Seeing the motorcade stop at the door, Wang Shounuo, who was already in his early forties, immediately came out to greet him.

After meeting Wang Shouzhe and the others who came with him, he immediately directed the boys to lead the carriage straight into the inner courtyard.

That's right.

The facade of the county city is occupied by Wang Shounuo, the third eldest son of the Wang family with the word "shou".

Although the current population of the Wang family is gradually becoming more prosperous, the growth of clan members takes time, and there are still not many clan members who can take charge of their own affairs. In addition, the Wang family has more and more properties now, and clan members are needed everywhere, so manpower is still very scarce.

Wang Shounuo was in his prime, and with the support of his family, he was promoted to a monk in the Lingtai realm. It was perfect for him to be responsible for developing the industry in the county.

Of course, he is the only one here. His children are all staying in the main house, being taken care of by the Shounuo family's wife and receiving unified training from the family.

The inner house had already been tidied up, and with the help of many servants and servants, Wang Shouzhe and his party were quickly settled in.

This time, Longyan Patriarch also came with Wang Shouzhe.

After Wang Shounuo paid a visit to Longyan Ancestor, the three of them gathered together for a small meeting.

Patriarch Longyan came to Longzuo County without any fanfare, so as not to give the impression that the main residence was empty. Of course, Wang Shouzhe did not really leave the defense of the main house empty.

With his wife Liu Ruolan sitting in charge, if an ordinary monk in the Heavenly Realm dares to go to Ping'an Town and act recklessly, he will probably not get good results.

"Third brother, I asked you to guard the county's property, which separated you from your family. It's hard work." Wang Shouzhe said with a cupped hand.

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about?" Wang Shounuo hurriedly returned the courtesy, "We are all members of the Wang family, and we should contribute to the family. My abilities are limited and I can't do big things. What's the point of talking about doing something small? Hard work? Besides, I will rush back at the end of the year and it will only take eight or nine days."

"When the younger ones at home get older, I will ask them to come over and work with the third brother." Wang Shouzhe said, "With them taking care of you, you can go back every three or four months to spend time with your family. "

No member of the clan who is sent abroad will send all his small family out. For example, sending his wife and children over to live together.

Because doing so, although it can reunite their family, will gradually cause the family to lose cohesion and centripetal force over time.

If everyone works outside the home as a small family unit, within a hundred years, the entire family will be in disarray.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Shounuo said, "It is not easy for the family to develop. I don't know how many ancestors of the clan have paid the price with their lives for the family. I am just doing some things for the family, fourth brother, don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe also felt a little emotional.

In this world where there are many aristocratic families, many people's family concepts and thoughts are very different from those of modern Chinese people.

For someone like Wang Shounuo, his wife and children are all in the main house, and the two places are separated for a whole year. Wang Shounuo thinks it is a normal thing. At most, he is suffering from some lovesickness, and there is nothing reluctant about it. .

And his wife and children also feel that as long as the family needs it, this is a matter of course.

The rest of the tribe didn't think there was anything unusual.

Only Wang Shouzhe, who was once a "modern man", would feel a little ashamed of Shou Nuo and his wife and children.

"Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about other things." Wang Shouzhe, Longyan Patriarch, and Wang Shounuo sat down together and said, "You have been collecting news about the county and city in the past two years, and it is quite effective. You talk first Tell me, how is the Wang family in Longzuo doing?"

At this banquet between gods and humans, Patriarch Zhou Bo still couldn't escape. Only the head of the family and the elders went to the Wang family in a low-key manner and sent a congratulatory gift. Then, they hurried back.

Although they didn't say anything, Wang Shouzhe could guess that the Wang family of Longzuo must be in trouble.

It's just that the other party seems unwilling to involve the Changning Wang family, so it has been secretive and wants to solve the problem independently.

However, the Changning Wang family and the Longzuo Wang family are of the same spirit. Not only did they receive a lot of help from the Longzuo Wang family, but during the battle of Luoying Gorge a few years ago, ancestor Zhou Bo was even more willing to take risks and personally help deal with it. Ancestor Hua Ye did not receive any reward afterwards.

With this friendship, Wang Shouzhe naturally couldn't just watch them encounter trouble and just pretend that he didn't know anything.

"Fourth brother's prediction is correct. The Wang family of Longzuo is indeed in trouble." Wang Shounuo's face suddenly straightened when he heard Wang Shouzhe mention this matter. I carefully inquired about the relationship, and finally I found out part of the truth. The thing is like this..."

Through Wang Shounuo's narration, Wang Shouzhe gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter.

As a long-established aristocratic family, the Wang family of Longzuo was a fifth-grade family at its strongest. It was also very prosperous and had countless properties to its name. However, due to the continuous decline over the years, the ancestral property has been gradually lost. Now, except for the main house that has not been moved and the few remaining shops, there are also several farms outside the county that are making profits.

In recent years, the Wang family of Longzuo listened to Wang Shouzhe's suggestion, vacated part of the real estate inside the main residence, and managed the "Purple Palace" with heart, and gradually accumulated a lot of wealth, and gradually started cultivating a second genius. The human realm, re-emerge, and restore Zu Yao's mind.

When they were cleaning up the family's previous resistance agreement, they discovered that there was a land lease agreement 330 years ago, which actually expired 30 years ago.

Therefore, ancestor Zhoubo tried to take back his ancestral land, which was about 20,000 acres.

"But the other party kept pushing the envelope in every possible way until a conflict broke out between the two parties. Now the friction between the Longzuo Wang family and that family is getting more intense, and the conflicts are getting deeper and deeper. If this continues, the Longzuo Wang family may suffer. Fourth brother, I'm here The foundation of the county is too shallow, and the details cannot be ascertained, but the opponent's family is not weak. There should be an ancestor in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm and an ancestor in the early stage of the Celestial Realm sitting in charge. The ancestor Zhoubo is unable to support himself, and I am afraid he will be stretched thin."

"I understand." Wang Shouzhe nodded, "The other party should only be a strong seventh-level family. If it is a family that has reached the sixth level, ancestor Zhou Bo will not dare to make grudges with others."

A strong seventh-grade family would naturally be the top family in the Southern Sixth Guards. Even the Changning Wang family would not want to be their enemy.

However, in the county where aristocratic families gather, the seventh-grade strong ones are definitely not considered top-notch, they can only be considered average, and there are many who are stronger than them.

Ancestor Longyan had been listening quietly before, but at this moment, a sharp light suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Humph~ That family should bully others in such a way, it is really hateful. Shouzhe, the Wang family of Longzuo is not kind to us. You must think of a solution for Ancestor Zhou Bo on this matter."

"Don't worry, ancestor." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "It was originally planned to enter the county to assist the Wang family of Longzuo. However, because our Changning Wang family has a weak foundation in the county and the information is not detailed yet, let's introduce it I have to go find my friends and find out."

…

An hour later, Baiweige headquarters.

In a private room on the third floor, Wang Shouzhe was holding a teacup and sipping tea leisurely.

This private room is uniquely and elegantly decorated, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, sandalwood lingering around, gauze curtains rolling, and the sound of silk and bamboo coming from far downstairs, making it indescribably comfortable.

Even if there is no delicious food, the decoration and atmosphere alone are enough to make people linger.

Even the fragrant tea used for entertaining guests has a long aftertaste and overflowing fragrance, which is no worse than the tea used by Wang himself.

Baiwei Pavilion has been passed down for thousands of years, so it really has something.

While Wang Shouzhe was thinking.

Suddenly.

A graceful woman opened the curtain and walked in.

She was wearing a light crimson gauze dress, and she walked towards her. The flowing skirt swayed slightly with her steps, making her figure look graceful, and the swaying was naturally aristocratic.

It is the amorous feeling that only married women can have, mature and charming, especially those charming eyes, which are smooth and charming.

Wang Shouzhe raised his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Mrs. Bilian hasn't been here for a long time. Shouzhe thought she wasn't ready to see me."

"How dare you, the majestic head of the Chang Ning Wang family, not to see me? It's really rare that the head of the Shouzhe family is willing to come to see me, an old acquaintance~" Mrs. Bilian cast her beautiful eyes sideways and glanced behind Wang Shouzhe, " Why, your eldest niece who is very good at eating didn’t come with you?”

It was very obvious that Wang Lizi had left a very deep impression on her. The money spent to treat her to a meal is enough to treat others to ten meals.

"She traveled abroad with Master for training, and I haven't seen her for several years. She didn't even come back to participate in this family feast." Wang Shouzhe picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a leisurely smile, " If Madam Bilian misses her and waits for her to return from her training, I will let her stay with Madam for a while."

Hearing this, Mrs. Bilian, who had just sat down, flicked her wrist and almost dropped the tea cup she had just brought into her hand.

She rolled her eyes at Wang Shouzhe angrily: "Only a ghost would miss her. It's up to you, the Wang family, to support such an outstanding child by yourself~~ Tell me, what do you want to see me for this time? Since you look so handsome, Come on, as long as the matter is not too difficult, I will handle it for you."

Wang Shouzhe did have something to do here. Hearing this, he was not polite to her and asked directly: "Madam, do you know about the Longzuo Zhang family?"

"Mr. Zhang? So that's why you're here." Mrs. Bilian frowned slightly, "I heard that there is some rift between the Zhang family and the Wang family. In recent years, there have been many conflicts due to industrial disputes."

The Baiweige she runs is a thousand-year-old brand with a wide network of contacts. Especially in this county, few troubles can be hidden from her.

"Although the Zhang family is not a powerful one, it is still an old family that has been around for six to seven hundred years. Its network of connections is much stronger than that of the Wang family in Longzuo, which has recently declined. Even I, the Yuwen family, have some friendships. However, in terms of discussion, In terms of connections and confidence, you, the Wang family of Changning, are stronger." Mrs. Bilian smiled and glanced at Wang Shouzhe, "If you need it, I can mediate and resolve the discord between the Zhang family and the Wang family."

"Mediation?" Wang Shouzhe shook his head, "Thank you, madam, for your kindness. But how can Mrs. Zhang be willing to spit out the fat in her belly? With Madam's warning, I understand what to do. Thank you for today's matter. Madam, Shouzhe has taken his leave."

After that, he put down the tea cup and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"etc."

Mrs. Bilian was not prepared to let him go just like that.

"I helped you, you can't just slap your butt and leave, right? Now I also have an unspeakable difficulty, and I need your help, Shouzhe. After all, the head of the Shouzhe family is so handsome, and So excellent..."

As she spoke, she looked Wang Shouzhe up and down with her beautiful eyes, the brilliance in her eyes seemed to be pointing.

this……

Wang Shouzhe was horrified by her sight, and he thought to himself, Mrs. Bilian must have been a widow for too long, and seeing how handsome he was, she had some evil thoughts, right?

He was so embarrassed that he pretended to drink tea: "Madam, I actually look very average..."

"Do you believe what Patriarch Shouzhe said?" Mrs. Bilian gave him a sideways look, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find a man with such extraordinary beauty as Patriarch Shouzhe, even if I search all over Longzuo County. A few come."

"Um... but Madam and I are not very familiar with each other yet. Since it's hard to say anything, Madam, I'd better stop talking and take my leave."

Wang Shouzhe coughed twice, immediately rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, got up and left.

Mrs. Bilian was trembling with anger and said: "Well, Wang Shouzhe! When you asked my wife for help, you asked me to say hello, and I sent important guests to see you. Now I want you to do a favor, but you follow me You say we are not familiar with each other? Do you really think I am easy to bully?!"

"No, I have been putting up with this matter for a long time. Only an outstanding and handsome man like you can solve it. The price is 50,000 gold!"

"What?"

Wang Shouzhe stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

No, is he being squandered by a beautiful woman again?

Isn't he just a bit handsome? Too good? How can life be so hard?
