……
Just when Wu Jinghao was stuck in a traffic jam and panicked.
Inside Changning Ferry.
A figure soared into the sky, flying through the sky like a thunderous roar.
The distance of five or six miles passed by in just sixty or seventy breaths, and then he landed gracefully in front of Wu Jinghao’s “Palace Chariot” and said in a loud voice: “Little Prince Jinghao and The relatives of the Monan clan are here, and I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar.”
He was a handsome young man with a graceful manner, and every move he made exuded the warmth, warmth and cultural heritage of a child of an aristocratic family.
“It’s the Ninth Master of the Wang family’s “Shou” generation.” Some of the people in the surrounding carriages who came to give gifts and congratulations, with a little knowledge, all started to praise in surprise.
The seventh generation of the Wang family, the men of the “Shou” generation and the women of the “Luo” generation, are the most legendary generation.
Although there are not many people in this generation, even if Wang Shouzhe, the patriarch of the Wang family, is excluded, the rest of his generation are each outstanding and wonderful in their own way. Their generation has now truly become the backbone of the Wang family.
The youngest among the “Shou” generation is the old Nine King Shoucheng in front of him.
When Wang Shoucheng was just born, he caught up with the era of rapid development of the Wang family. As the youngest son of the six ancestors of the Wang family in Dinghai, and the youngest in the “Shou” generation, he was naturally favored by his elders and brothers and sisters, and he enjoyed very good treatment from childhood to adulthood.
Even Wang Shouzhe took good care of and valued his younger brother, who was younger than his own son, and was very attentive to him in his studies and cultivation.
Under the “care” of his fourth brother, Wang Shoucheng grew up vigorously. Now, just over a hundred years old, he has already reached the third level of the Heavenly Realm and has become a pillar of the Wang family.
Wang Shoucheng came to greet him personally. How could Wu Jinghao and Wang Guanghai dare to neglect them?
The two quickly got off the palace chariot.
Especially Wang Wanghai, who quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, “How could Shi Hai be so virtuous that he dares to trouble Grandpa Ninth to come and greet him?”
“Jinghao has met the Nine Old Masters.” Wu Jinghao also hurriedly saluted.
Although the two of them are about twenty years older than Wang Shoucheng, they can’t stand up to their seniority. Moreover, the “Shou” generation can currently be regarded as the backbone of the Wang family, and its status in the family is also extraordinary.
In the motorcade, the Huangfu family, the Mo family, and the stewards and elders of other families also got out of the car to greet Wang Shoucheng.
Having the Ninth Old Master personally greet him was a great honor to the people in Monan who were sending congratulatory gifts.
After a brief exchange of greetings.
Under the control of Wang Shoucheng and some Wang family stewards who came later, the Monan convoy was sent to the ferries in batches. After arriving at Wang’s Dingpu port, the gift list was handed over and the accounts were kept. Warehousing and other work.
Although this kind of work is tedious, it is necessary.
Between aristocratic families, what matters is sophistication and courtesy.
The Wang family in Changning is not a brave person who can only get in and out. When accepting gifts from others, they must at least be aware of it, and they must also express their feelings when doing things at home in the future. Or if someone comes to ask for something one day, this relationship must also be taken into consideration.
The relationship between family and family is established bit by bit in this way.
But just because the Wang family is now so powerful, and the great-grandson of the direct line is married to two young princesses, it doesn’t mean that he has to look down on one and look down on the other. This is too nouveau riche. If the family tradition is like this, this family will probably not last long.
However, due to limited resources, conditions, and manpower, etc. When it comes to welcoming guests and sending them off, it must be planned in a unified manner and cannot be arranged randomly. It is best to have a slightly higher allocation.
Just like Wang Shoucheng, as the ninth eldest son of the “Shou” generation, with a third-level cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, he is a slightly superior person for the gift-giving team that went to pick up Monan. But because the age gap between the two parties is not big, it is easier to find common topics after getting acquainted with each other, and they can talk relatively well.
But if he was asked to receive the Monan County Prince and his wife, the Dingxin ancestor of the Monan Wang family, he would not be qualified.
In this kind of welcome and send-off etiquette, if you don’t understand the rules and act randomly, you will only offend the guests.
When a distinguished guest like this arrives, it is natural that Shouzhe personally comes to greet him, and then leaves it to Shouyong, Shoulian, or Shouye to stay with him for a long time.
Furthermore, guests from the third-rank Gongye clan and the third-rank Chen clan, similar to Dingguo Gongfu, are coming. If the head of the family or the ancestor of Shen Tong comes in person, Wang Shouzhe or the ancestor of Longyan will inevitably have to accompany them in person and send their family members. Excellent juniors are waiting to be dispatched.
Otherwise, once word spreads, it will mean that Mr. Wang does not understand the rules and is neglecting the guests.
Separating guests into different levels in this way is definitely not snobbish or anything like that.
It’s just that within any family, there are differences in status like a pyramid structure. You can’t have Shouzhe entertain you if you’re in the eighth or ninth grade, and you have to be entertained by Shouzhe if you’re in the sixth or seventh grade… If that’s the case, cut Wang Shouzhe into pieces Hundreds of cuts are not enough.
Therefore, except for Wang Shoucheng who welcomed the princes of the small county of Monan, the other guests who sent congratulatory gifts were all busy managed by the Wang clan, old and young, and everything was in order, busy and not chaotic.
Wang Anye’s wedding is also a huge event for the Wang family. The marriage of the eldest great-grandson represents the continuation of the family heir’s bloodline, not to mention that this time he is marrying two royal princesses.
If Wang Shouzhe showed an attitude of not taking it seriously, it would be a disgrace to the royal family, and Emperor Longchang would probably be the first to get angry.
Therefore, Wang has been making preparations for a long time.
In Xinping Town and Xin’an Town, large restaurants with high occupancy rates and a large number of apartment-style restaurants have been built.
Even if it is a groom or a steward who comes, he will be arranged into the restaurant and entertained with delicious food and drinks. And distinguished guests with different identities will naturally have different specifications of high-quality hospitality.
The group with the highest status are naturally the Wang clan, royal clan, relatives of Wu Xuening’s mother clan, the Daqian Chen clan, Yiluo’s maternal clan, the Gongye clan, and the core of the Wang clan Relatives, etc., these people were all arranged in the expanded Wang family’s main residence.
As for the newly built restaurants and houses, they will not be wasted.
Wang Shouzhe intends to build Xinping Town and Xin’an Town into a prosperous commercial base. Those few large restaurants may not be enough in the future.
The continuous procession of gift-giving continued for a long time, and it basically stopped abruptly until one month before Wang Anye got married.
This is also the rule between aristocratic families. The more important the event, the more important it is to prepare and deliver the gifts in advance to show respect and politeness.
This is also because of the vast territory of Daqian. The convoys transporting the gifts sometimes need to travel for several months, or even nearly a year, to transport the gifts. If you do not prepare in advance and set off in advance, in case of encounters on the road If you delay something, you may miss the opportunity to give a gift.
If the congratulatory gifts are delivered a few days before the wedding, or even on the same day, without special reasons, it will cause displeasure among the organizers. If you give a gift in this way, it will be worth the loss if it has the opposite effect.
Of course, for a big happy event like getting married, some elders will carry precious things with them and give them out at the wedding to make it festive and lively. This is another matter. Those are all things other than formal gifts.
Just a few days before Wang Anye got married.
Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard is very lively with people coming and going.
In fact, this small courtyard has not been idle for a long time.
As Wang Anye’s wedding day approaches, relatives and friends have rushed to live in Wang’s house. How can he be free here?
The spring day is bright and the breeze is gentle.
In Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard, green plants and flowers are eye-catching. A group of wild tiger-headed bees boldly built a nest under the eaves to collect nectar from the exotic flowers in Shouzhe’s courtyard. Fill in the number of flowers in other courtyards of the house.
Wang Shouzhe, who couldn’t laugh or cry, thought of the past incident where he bought a [Butterfly Bee Hive] and Luo Jing identified it as an amethyst bee, so he let them go.
After getting familiar with them, these tiger-headed wasps are very well-behaved and will never attack humans or animals. Instead, day after day, he diligently collects spiritual flower pollen and turns it into first-level spiritual honey.
“Four of two, Wang Zha.” Emperor Longchang, who was dressed as an ordinary old man, threw out four of two in a loud voice, and looked at Zixiong and said, “Who else is there?”
Generally speaking, Wang Zha refers to ghosts, big and small. But Emperor Longchang thought that the big and small ghosts were the biggest, so how could he be called Wang Zha? Therefore, the Four Twos were named Wang Zha, and the big and small ghosts were named Emperor Zha.
The two people playing cards with the emperor were Prince Deshun and Prince Yongan.
Among them, although Prince Yong’an was a prince from the Dexin lineage, he also helped Prince Kang in the dispute between the emperor and his son. But since Long Wuji “submitted” to Wang Shouzhe, he began to fade out of the fight intentionally or unintentionally.
Among these, there should be the results of a separate conversation with Long Wuji and his son. No matter how much conflict the father and son have, and how incompatible they may seem on the surface, they are still the same father and son after all.
What’s more, Prince Yong’an is only a son like Long Wuji, and he still attaches great importance to him in his heart.
Until the end when King Kang lost all the way, he never came to help. He even went out to live in seclusion for a period of time, saying that he had a sense of heaven. After spending some time in seclusion, it was obvious that the two were no longer helping each other.
On Yiluo’s side, Prince Deshun will support the show, while on Xuening’s side, Prince Rongjun’s Mansion can only bring out Prince Yong’an to support the show. Xuening’s momentum cannot be weakened.
“The ancestors were mighty, wise and brave as before.” Princes Yong’an and Deshun both flattered the emperor.
Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched. This kind of flattery was boring to watch. He turned around to drink tea with Long Wuji and started chatting: “Brother Wuji, I have read all the sea charts you have drawn over the past few decades, but they seem to have no connection with Tianji Continent.”
“I didn’t expect that there are so many islands and subcontinents overseas.” Long Wuji said helplessly, “There is a human race on the subcontinent. They are all primitive tribes, and their civilization is lagging behind compared to the Barbarian Gu race. .According to our judgment of the location of Tianji Continent, it will take decades to open up routes on both sides.”
Long Wuji and the Wang family jointly explored overseas, mainly to open up navigation routes between Tianji Continent and Daqian, but they have not yet succeeded.
“It’s already quite remarkable.” Wang Shouzhe said, “I still put safety first, and I won’t be afraid even if it takes another hundred years.”
While the two were talking.
A steward outside the house reported: “The head of the family is informed that a girl from the Immortal Dynasty came to visit. She said that she was entrusted by Miss Li Ci to give the seventh young master a wedding gift.”
Immortal Dynasty? Li Ci?
Wang Shouzhe frowned. That girl Li Ci has been in a fairyland for a long time. Although she occasionally wrote back to report the situation, when Wang Shouzhe wrote, the girl had no fixed address.
More than ten years ago, he asked Yao to deliver a letter to Li Ci by air, so that she could come back and see it when she had time. She has never met An Ye, but she is already getting married. What delayed you this time? Can’t you come back?
“Please treat that girl well, and I’ll go see her after a break.” Wang Shouzhe said.
“Yes, head of the family.” The steward retreated.
Just when Wang Shouzhe was about to go, Long Wuji glanced at the three “old men” who were playing cards, feeling a little uncomfortable and unwilling to stay here for a long time: “Shouzhe, I have never seen a live person. Where’s the girl from Dexianchao? Let’s go with you to gain some knowledge.”
“That’s okay.” Wang Shouzhe said after a slight hesitation, “But you can’t harass the guests.”
“Shouzhe, what you said is so heartbreaking. I, Long Wuji, have always been a gentleman.”
“But I heard from Shi Hao that you have been clamoring on the boat all day long to go to Tianji Continent to find those blond and blue-eyed women.”
“Ahem~ What I do is called morale boosting. I have to draw a cake for my brothers, otherwise I won’t have the courage to persevere.”
The two of them walked out while talking. Before leaving the house, Wang Shouzhe shouted into the room: “Ruolan, I’m going out. The distinguished guests in the room have been entertained, don’t let them go hungry.”
“Mr., I understand.” Liu Ruolan’s reply came from the kitchen in the distance, “Don’t worry, I’ve already cooked this. Are you going to leave if you don’t want to eat? I’ll eat it if you don’t want to. Give it to the old man.”
“Well, leave it all to the old man.”
Then, the two princes and the emperor all changed their expressions and cast an angry look at Wang Shouzhe. Especially Emperor Longchang’s face turned green, as he had to enjoy an extra portion of Wang Shouzhe today. dessert.
Wang Shouzhe left with satisfaction.
Who asked Emperor Longchang to come to his yard to play cards when he had nothing to do? You also bring cards and tricks at every turn…it’s very disturbing, you know?
Not more than a moment.
VIP room in the front courtyard.
A fairy-like masked woman stood gracefully, admiring various paintings by famous artists in the living room. Among them, the most conspicuous one is the “Rising Sun Picture of Remaining Immortal Residence”, a masterpiece made by the emperor himself. It was also specially stamped with a large seal, so that people would not know that it was the work of the emperor, so it had to be hung in a conspicuous place.
“Ahem, this fairy is very polite. I’m Wang Shouzhe. Thank you fairy for sending something for Li Ci.” Wang Shouzhe coughed twice from a distance, and Long Wuji also pretended to be serious.
The woman slowly looked back: “The paintings of Emperor Longchang are as ingenious as ever. It’s hard for you to hang them up.”
“Ahem, girl, be careful what you say.” Wang Shouzhe was a little embarrassed, “After all, I am the emperor.”
The woman was noncommittal, looking Wang Shouzhe up and down, and said with a slightly surprised expression: “Li Ci complimented you on how good-looking you are. I still don’t believe it, but you are even more handsome than expected.”
