Unfortunately, he didn't know that the courtyard house where they lived would definitely not be demolished.

Although several of the courtyard houses that Wang Yue initially invested in were demolished, he did not feel sorry about it because he still had other courtyards, one for each of his three children.

Speaking of the three children, Wang Xiaoshi, like Wang Yue, graduated from Tsinghua University, but he refused to work in Wang Yue's laboratory.

In his words, his mother was already pitiful enough, as she could only see her husband at night when she went to bed. He didn't want his mother to be away from her son.

This kid gets along very well with his godfather Cai Xiaoguang, and often follows Cai Xiaoguang to some theaters to work.

It was only recently that Cai Xiaoguang plunged into the laboratory, and this kid has been staying at home every day like a lazy man.

The second daughter, Wang Xiaomi, has a personality similar to Zheng Juan. After graduation, she also went to work at Guangming Group and soon became the president of a subsidiary.

Although the company did not make much money in the beginning, it gradually got things sorted out and turned losses into profits.

Zheng Juan was very satisfied with what she did and was considering when to be transferred back to the headquarters.

Although the third son Wang Xiaohe attended the National Defense University, he unexpectedly joined Wang Yue's laboratory after graduation. He has been helping Wang Yue with some daily affairs, allowing Wang Yue to have more time to study and research.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Only part of the science fiction story that Wang Yue told Zhou Rong has been realized.

However, even this part made Zhou Rong and Zheng Juan very satisfied, and Sunshine Group has also become the pride of the Chinese people.

But Wang Yue was just sighing, finally arriving at the place he was familiar with. There was no ripple in his heart, he just felt that he could enjoy life now.

What he didn't expect was that before he could enjoy it properly, he heard a ding sound.

"Ding, the dream of the human world ends, and the host is about to return!"

"Ding, the host is returning to the journey..."

Chapter 158: Do You Know? Cousin of the Wang Family!

Yangzhou

Tongpan Shengfu, Weiruixuan

Mrs. Shengda, Wang Ruofu, lived in the second branch of the Wang family when she was young. She did not return to the first branch of the Wang family until she was about to come of age.

Therefore, she felt that it was reasonable and proper to send an invitation to the second branch of the Wang family in Suzhou for her daughter's marriage.

The Suzhou Canal can go directly to Yangzhou, and a round trip only takes half a day. Within two days, people from the second branch of the Wang family in Suzhou came, and they arrived even earlier than the first branch of the Wang family in Runzhou.

After greeting each other, Wang Ruofu, the eldest lady of the Sheng family, enthusiastically took the hand of Xu, the eldest lady of the second branch of the Wang family, and asked with a grin, "Sister-in-law, I thought you were not coming, what a pity! I didn't expect you to arrive a few days early."

Seeing that Madam Shengda did not act like an official's wife in front of her at all, Xu felt that it might be the right decision to come this time.

She originally didn't want to come. After all, they were from the second branch of the Wang family, and were related to the first branch where Wang Ruofu was. When the old man of the first branch passed away, their contact had become less close.

This time when Sheng Hualan wanted to pay the dowry, the people from the Wang family's eldest branch only sent gifts but had no intention of going. It would be inappropriate for them, as the second branch, to go in person.

So, she originally wanted to just send someone to deliver the gift and wait until the wedding day to come over, but her only son Wang Yue, after learning that his family had received an invitation from the Sheng family, insisted on coming to Yangzhou to join in the fun. Coincidentally, Father Wang also said that he had to take care of some business in Yangzhou, so the whole family rushed over.

……

It has been almost a year since Wang Yue traveled here. He has long been tired of staying in Suzhou. After all, he was born there in his previous life, so he just wants to travel around.

So when he heard that their family actually had relatives with the heroine's family, he wanted to go to the Sheng family to join in the fun.

After all, he was so tired after being in two consecutive worlds, so he just wanted to have some fun, so he urged his parents to rush over from Suzhou.

He would never admit that he just wanted to see the Lans from the Sheng family!

……

Xu faced Madam Sheng's sincere eyes, shook her head, and explained with a smile, "Sister, what are you talking about? This is your eldest daughter's wedding, how can we not come?

Looking at your expression, I feel that I have come to the right place. Are you reluctant to leave?"

Madam Shengda also put away her smile and said with great melancholy, "Yes, now I still think of the little one who followed us to Lingzhou. I didn't expect that she would be getting married in the blink of an eye.

By the way, this must be my nephew Xiaoyue. I remember the last time I saw him was five or six years ago when my husband took office.

He was so young back then, but now he has grown so tall. In another three to five years, he will probably get married.”

The two families were so close that it was impossible for them not to have contact with each other. However, Wang Yue was the only child in the family, and Old Man Wang was worried about Wang Yue going out, so he had never come to Yangzhou with Wang Yue's mother.

Every time Xu came to Yangzhou as a guest, Madam Sheng would mention the matter of the child. This time she really brought the child with her, and of course she also wanted to let Madam Sheng see her son.

So, he smiled and waved at Wang Yue, and then said happily, "Children grow fast, and he has brute strength, so he grows faster.

As for his marriage, there is no rush. His father and I want her to study hard, and when she has achieved success in the future, it won’t be too late to find a husband. By then, I will need your help in choosing a husband.”

Wang Ruofu originally looked at Xu bringing Wang Yue this time and was a little worried about Xu's proposal for the two families to get married, so she was afraid she would have to discuss it with her husband.

Hearing what Xu said, she felt that if Wang Yue could really pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future, it would be great for the two families to become even closer.

She did not look down on her uncle's family. It was because she knew her husband well and he would never be willing to marry his daughter to a businessman, even if he was a concubine.

Wang Ruofu let go of her guard and said happily, "Yue'er is preparing for the imperial examination? How is his study going now?"

This touched Mrs. Xu's heart, and she said with a smile, "He originally loved to play with spears and clubs, and he didn't read much. But last year, he took the imperial examination and passed three levels in a row, and came back as a scholar. My master was so happy that he decided to let him take the imperial examination."

Wang Ruofu was very surprised to hear that Wang Yue was already a scholar at such a young age.

You should know that Wang Yue is the same age as Changbai. Under the guidance of Sheng Hong, Changbai has not yet passed the examination to become a scholar. This shows that Wang Yue is really smart and the possibility of him passing the examination to become a Jinshi in the future is much greater.

She looked at the silly Rulan beside her. This girl had the same personality as her. If she could go to her uncle's house, she would understand the personalities of her uncle's family and would not be bullied.

When she looked at Wang Yue again, she felt like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and she didn't even think about introducing Wang Yue to other girls.

Xu was very satisfied with Madam Sheng's reaction. If it was someone else, she would think it was snobbish, but when she saw Madam Sheng's face, she could see what she was thinking at a glance and just thought it was funny.

The two were having a pleasant conversation. Seeing that Wang Yue was sitting there bored, Madam Sheng asked Changbai to take Wang Yue and Rulan out to play.

Changbai was an honest child and had no idea of ​​Madam Sheng's thoughts. After learning that Wang Yue was already a scholar, he wanted to humbly ask Wang Yue for advice, so he brought Wang Yue Rulan to his own small courtyard.

Wang Yue understood Mrs. Sheng's plan, and also understood Changbai's thoughts. He also thought that this mother and son were quite interesting, so he seriously talked about classics with Changbai. After all, he was an adult, and some of his opinions seemed casual but also very unique, which made Changbai admire him very much.

Rulan, who came out with them, felt dizzy after listening to the two people's chatter. She couldn't sit still, so she interrupted Changbai and said, "Second brother, cousin Wang, I'm going to look for my elder sister."

Changbai didn't understand what his mother meant, so he said indifferently, "Then go ahead. My cousin and I still have something to talk about."

Rulan left happily without any care in the world, not realizing that her mother asked her to come out with her so that she could get acquainted with Wang Yue.

Of course Wang Yue pretended not to know and had no intention of trying to keep her. He had watched the drama and liked Ruolan's character quite a bit, but Ruolan was only six or seven years old now, and he just wanted to raise her, so he wouldn't take care of such a young girl.

But after Rulan left, he could only concentrate on dealing with Changbai. After a long time, he felt quite bored. He took the imperial examination just to have fun in this world, and he really didn't want to teach children like a teacher.

Just at this moment, Wang Yue smelled a thick smell of smoke, and he immediately remembered what happened in the play. It seemed that the silver charcoal that Minglan's mother was supposed to get was replaced with charcoal for burning fire by the servant in charge, which caused the house in Minglan's yard to seem to be on fire.

He didn't expect that Changbai's house was not far from Minglan's yard, so he wrinkled his nose and asked, "Changbai, is your house on fire? Why is there such a pungent smell?"

Changbai also frowned. Although he didn't want to get involved, it would be bad to choke the guests when they came.

He frowned and said to his servant Hanniu, "Hanniu, go and see what's going on."

Han Niu was originally wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, secretly mourning for his future days.

His young master usually doesn't talk much, but this time he talked so much with his cousin Wang's young master. I wonder how long he will not speak after his cousin Wang leaves?

But now, after hearing the young master's instructions, he showed no sign of getting angry. He quickly agreed and ran out of the yard.

Changbai didn't want Wang Yue to smell the smoke in the house with him, so he said a little embarrassedly, "Cousin, why don't we go to the pavilion outside? It's more spacious there, and there won't be this strong smell of smoke."

Wang Yue was just trying to escape from his current situation, so he nodded and agreed, then he was the first to stand up, which surprised Chang Bai.

The two men had just sat down in the pavilion outside, and before Changbai could ask further questions, Han Niu hurried over.

Changbai put down the book in his hand and asked in confusion, "What happened? There is no fire, right?"

Han Niu shook his head, looked at Wang Yue with some embarrassment, and hesitated for a long time, but did not say anything.

Changbai was getting a little impatient, so he waved his hand and said, "Since it's not convenient to talk about it here, then go and tell my mother and let her help deal with it."

Han Niu wanted to explain, but he knew the character of the young master, so he had to bite the bullet and go find Cai Huan, the second-class maidservant of Madam Sheng Da, and ask her to go and handle it.

He knew Caihuan's character and had long wanted to go a step further. This maid would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to suppress Aunt Lin.

Sure enough, after he met Cai Huan and told her what happened, he heard Cai Huan say, "Which damn servant dared to deduct money? No, dared to affect the Second Young Master's studies? I'll tell the Madam right now."

She didn't care at all that Madam Sheng was chatting with Madam Wang and just barged in.

Madam Shengda felt a little embarrassed when she saw Caihuan's serious look, so she asked coldly, "What's the matter? Don't you know I have guests here?"

Caihuan was not afraid at all. She knew in her heart that she was a lady with a hard mouth but a soft heart. Moreover, after this incident, she felt that she would definitely be promoted to a first-class maid, so she was very courageous.

So, she said angrily, "Madam, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Although Madam Shengda was not very smart, she still understood that Caihuan might have said something very important. She hesitated for a moment, and then said to Wang Yue's mother, "Sister-in-law, we are family, so I won't be polite to you. Hualan has a lot of things to do. I will let Madam Liu take you downstairs to rest for a while. I will come to you to reminisce after I am done with my work."

Chapter 159: Favoring concubines and destroying wives is a family tradition!

Xu knew at a glance that something was going on in the Sheng family's backyard, but she pretended not to understand and said, "Of course it's a big deal. Anyway, we're here for many days, so we have plenty of time to catch up."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Madam Liu who was beside Madam Shengda. After Madam Liu made a gesture for her to come in, she stood up and followed Madam Liu out.

Wang Yue was having a headache because of Changbai's pestering. When he saw his mother finally coming out of the house, he quickly said to Changbai, "Changbai, how about we talk about this tomorrow? My mother is coming out, I'll go with her to see where to stay tonight."

Changbai didn't realize that Wang Yue didn't want to stay with him any longer, so he hurriedly said reluctantly, "Cousin, please stay in my room tonight. I still have many questions I want to ask you."

Wang Yue looked at Changbai in some surprise. He didn’t expect this guy to be so talkative. Didn’t the drama say that Changbai didn’t like to talk?

He knew he couldn't get away, so he turned his eyes to his mother, hoping that she would find a reason to take him away.

When Mrs. Wang saw her son's expression, she understood what he meant.

But when she thought about how her son said before he came that he wanted to stay at the Sheng family for a while and have a good look around Yangzhou, she felt that Wang Yue should be taught a lesson.

When you visit someone's home and want to stay there permanently, how can you not be influenced by the host?

So, she ignored Wang Yue's gaze and said to Chang Bai in a warm tone, "In that case, I'll trouble Chang Bai to take care of my little Yue."

Changbai was originally worried that Wang Yue was going to leave, but after hearing what Xu said, he said happily, "Don't worry, aunt. I just happen to have a lot of questions that I want to ask cousin Wang."

Seeing that Wang Yue had won Changbai's admiration so quickly, Xu was very happy, so she left without any formalities.

After all, although she seldom came, the two families would visit each other during the holidays. She also knew that Changbai of the Sheng family was an honest child. She felt that as long as Wang Yue could play with Changbai, nothing would go wrong.

Wang Yue watched his mother leave happily, and he was speechless. He came to Yangzhou to have fun. What was there to do with a blockhead like Changbai?

Facing the inquisitive eyes, he thought it was better to tell the truth to such an honest child, so he said to Changbai who was holding a university book and wanted to ask, "This is my first time in Yangzhou since I was a child. Can you take me to have a look? We can discuss it in detail when we come back?"

Changbai was stunned for a moment, then he put down the book in his hand and said a little embarrassedly, "Cousin, it's my fault. I thought we could discuss more while you were here, but I forgot that you might not be able to stay here for a few days."

Wang Yue saw Chang Bai saying this and explained, "You are thinking in the wrong direction. My father needs to take care of some things here, so I may have to stay here for a long time."

When Changbai heard that Wang Yue was going to stay here for a long time, he immediately stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, I will take my cousin for a good stroll."

Although Wang Yue felt that there would be nowhere to go if he went out with Changbai, he still happily stood up.

However, when the two of them walked out of Weiruixuan and were about to walk towards the gate, they unexpectedly ran into Old Man Wang and Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong saw Changbai and Wang Yue wanted to go out, so he frowned and asked, "Changbai, where are you taking your cousin? Come over and meet your uncle!"

Seeing Sheng Hong so serious, Father Wang quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be so serious. Don't you know Changbai's personality? It must be that my little monkey wanted to go out to play, so Changbai had to take him out."

Changbai had a very good impression of Wang Yue. Seeing that Wang Yue did not explain, he quickly defended Wang Yue and said, "Uncle, you have wronged my cousin. His academic foundation is very solid and he is now a scholar. I just asked him for advice."

After hearing what Changbai said, Sheng Hong asked Old Man Wang curiously, "Brother, Yue'er is already a scholar? Why didn't you mention it before?"

When Father Wang saw Sheng Hong mention this, he smiled and said, "I've been busy with business all year round. It was only when I went back home at the end of last year that I learned that this brat had taken three tests in the academy and finally ranked first and passed the exam for a scholar.

So, this time I came to Jinling, I just wanted to find a famous teacher for Yueer to learn from, it would be great if he could make further progress. "

Sheng Hong is now at a critical moment in his promotion, and he doesn't want to be caught because of his relatives, so he is wary of the arrival of Old Man Wang and his family.

After hearing what Old Man Wang said, he had an idea in his mind. It seemed that his brother-in-law came to attend Hua'er's betrothal banquet without any intention of asking him, the second-in-command of Yangzhou, for help. This made him feel relieved.

After Sheng Hong and Madam Sheng were relieved as expected, an idea came to his mind. He began to look at Wang Yue carefully. An eleven-year-old scholar, he was very remarkable. He felt that if Wang Yue was really a promising talent, it was not impossible for the two families to marry.

So he asked, "What books have you read?"

Wang Yue had watched the drama and knew that Sheng Hong had carried forward the Sheng family's tradition of favoring concubines and killing wives, and he had even surpassed his predecessor.

He had a bad impression of Sheng Hong, but after all, Sheng Hong was testing him in the manner of an elder, so he couldn't avoid answering.

So he immediately said vaguely, "Uncle, I have only read most of the poems and classics without thinking."

Sheng Hong was somewhat surprised by Wang Yue's answer, and he became interested. He asked several questions in succession, just to test Wang Yue's level.
