Chapter 67 067 My enemy, this fourth brother is really evil! ...

After Wang Yao sent Jia Zhu back to Rongguo Mansion, he rushed back to pick up the women of the Wang family and bring them back to the mansion.

Not to mention how tiring it is to travel back and forth like this, the fact that he has this intention shows that he is sensible and responsible.

Xianyu's adopted elder brother is indeed the pillar of the Wang family of this generation. His sense of responsibility alone makes him far superior to his peers who are either dissolute, useless, or both.

For example, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and even Jia Zhu cannot compare with him at all.

Of course, Wang Yao was not so outstanding at the beginning.

The second master of the Wang family was also a troublemaker for several years in the capital.

Although he was young, he was extremely smart and one of the few sober people in the world. He was really naughty during those years, but once he came to his senses, he immediately turned over a new leaf and became more sensible than the average man.

For many things, he knows how to do them naturally without being taught. He is really born with this understanding. Everyone would have to sigh that he is so talented and has a bright future.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Ziteng wanted him to take the imperial examination.

Wang Ziteng must have realized that Wang Yao was more suitable for officialdom than him as a father, and that his future achievements would certainly be higher than his as a father - he himself was already a first-rank governor of the Beijing Camp, and according to the "oracle" of his beloved daughter Xianyu, he would be able to be promoted to a first-rank governor of nine provinces in the future, but it was estimated that he would stop there.

As the saying goes, a clerk who doesn't want to be the prime minister is not a good soldier (not)... The main thing is that as long as you become an official in the court, you will definitely want to climb up and reach the top.

The Prime Minister, the head of all officials, can be said to be the ultimate dream of all officials.

Wang Ziteng is no exception.

But he knew that he had basically no chance.

This is because since the time of the late Emperor Shunzhi, all the chief ministers came from the Hanlin Academy, and there was basically no place for officials like Bi Tieshi who relied on their ancestors' influence to get promoted through the back door.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng knew that it would be difficult for him to become the Prime Minister in this life. After discovering that his son Wang Yao had suddenly awakened, he insisted that Wang Yao try to take the imperial examination to become an official.

All the prime ministers in history were from Hanlin Academy, so if they followed the same path of relying on their ancestors’ influence as him, the upper limit of their potential would be low.

Since my son has expertise in this area, he must aim for the highest position.

This is what it means to be a high-ranking official.

He has no chance, but his son can still try hard.

Wang Ziteng planned a smooth road for Wang Yao, and Wang Yao also worked hard. At least from his state when he left the examination room, it can be seen that this exam was still very easy for him.

But what the result will be, we will have to wait and see when the results are announced.

As a character not mentioned in the original plot, Xianyu really had no idea what the result of Wang Yao's exam was, but she knew Jia Zhu's result.

Speaking of which, Jia Zhu is also a very tragic character in the original plot.

As the eldest son of the second branch of the Rongguo Mansion, Master Zhu was very smart when he was young. He entered school at the age of 14 and passed the examination for a scholar. This result is very impressive no matter where you talk about it.

To be honest, Wang Yao didn't get it earlier than him.

After all, when Xianyu was thirteen or fourteen years old, it was the most rebellious period in the life of Wang Yao, Xianyu's younger brother.

He had no interest in studying and could not stay at home for a whole day. Instead, he went out to hang out with a bunch of friends every day.

He has done everything from teasing cats and dogs, fighting, drinking and having fun, to hanging out in red-light districts. He is not only a veteran player, but also a leader among players.

After all, he is not only rich, generous, and righteous, but also good-looking, smart, and sweet-spoken. He will never do anything that forces others to do anything. He is simply a gentleman among dandies and a dandy among gentlemen.

That is why, although Wang Ziteng was angry at his lack of progress, he did not discipline him seriously.

Maybe Lao Wang always thinks that the child is still young, and it would be good to let him play for a few more years - as to whether he is using this method to heal his own childhood, it is hard to say.

After all, everyone knows that Wang Ziteng had a very difficult childhood. He was sent to the Military Camp by the old man of the Wang family and was severely trained by Jia Daishan...

Although he later succeeded in becoming the governor of the Beijing camp and succeeded Jia Daishan, only he knew the hardships and sadness he had gone through.

Therefore, when facing his son Wang Yao, who is extremely similar to himself back then, Wang Ziteng can't help but have some empathy, as if pampering his son a little bit would be able to heal himself who also liked to make trouble but had no chance back then.

As long as Wang Yao didn't do anything too out of line, he would turn a blind eye.

Wang Yao also felt Wang Ziteng's subtle emotions, so of course he obeyed his orders and had fun.

This is a tacit understanding that belongs only to these two fathers.

It could have gone on like this forever.

If the old man in the family had not suddenly passed away, giving Wang Yao a "very painful realization", he would not have "turned over a new leaf" so quickly.

In short, the old man passed away, and although Wang Ziteng was still alive, the Wang family seemed to have fallen apart. As the grandson, Wang Yao matured all of a sudden and truly became a man who could support the family like Wang Ziteng.

The women in the Wang family were very pleased about this, including Xianyu. They all felt that it was better to have a reliable second master of the Wang family.

Especially for Xianyu, it must be very nice to have such a powerful cheap brother.

After all, she is really satisfied with her current life as a rich and beautiful woman. If her elder brother is supportive, then this kind of life will definitely continue. Who wouldn't be happy then?

The support and praise from his family made Wang Yao feel a lot of positive feedback, so he became more and more determined to walk on this reliable path.

Precisely because he himself had transformed from a playboy into a reliable elder brother, he was well aware of the common tactics used by those playboys.

Although the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was not a playboy, in Wang Yao's eyes, any male creature who approached his beloved sister Xianyu was a target to be guarded against.

Especially the Fourth Prince.

He is definitely the person that big brother Wang Yao has to be wary of first.

In fact, Wang Yao had long disliked the Fourth Prince.

Ever since they first met on the waterway outside Jinling City, Wang Yao felt that the Fourth Prince was not someone who could be made close friends with - he had many cronies, but he had also made a few real friends among them, so he had quite a bit of experience in judging people.

The Fourth Prince was a man who, although not very old, looked about the same age as him. Not only did he not look physically strong, but his eyes also looked too calm and deep.

A calm look in the eyes indicates that the person is calm and patient.

His deep eyes show that he is quite shrewd and a person who is difficult to see through.

In addition, he had been following the Wang family's fleet for such a long time without any reason, but did not come to say hello. He seemed to be sneaky and observing secretly, and was not an upright man at all, which made Wang Yao very unhappy.

Master Wang Er was very unhappy. The Fourth Prince would definitely not have a good time in their Wang family, at least in the second branch of their Wang family.

As the eldest son of the second branch of the Wang family, although Wang Yao is not qualified to inherit the title, he is also very ambitious and aspiring.

He was confident that he didn't need to inherit the title or use the things from his ancestors. He could rely on his own abilities to earn a share of property for the second branch of the Wang family that would definitely not be inferior to that of the first branch.

It’s not that he looks down on the eldest uncle of the Wang family, the main reason is that there is really no one in the eldest house... Not to mention that Wang Ren is just a bastard's son, in fact, Wang Yao does not have any special discrimination against legitimate and illegitimate children. His attitude towards people is mainly determined by their abilities.

But Wang Ren really has no ability.

Although Wang Yao would politely call him "big brother" in daily life, Wang Yao knew very well in his heart that this Uncle Wang was a useless piece of mud - since he had no ability, it would not be wrong to get along with him if he had good character, just like his eldest uncle, Uncle Wang, it would be good to be a playboy and inherit the family business safely and steadily.

But the problem is that Wang Ren still has evil intentions.

After accidentally witnessing Wang Ren doing several things that forced others to do things and bullied others, Wang Yao felt that this man was rotten to the core.

It can be said that if it weren’t for his sister Feng Jie’er who was a good person, Wang Yao would have simply not bothered to have anything to do with the first wife.

However, no matter how good Feng Jieer was, she was still a girl and would get married in the future. Therefore, the eldest branch of the Wang family was probably going to be ruined in Wang Ren's hands.

But what does this have to do with their second wife?

When the old man of the Wang family was alive, he said that everyone should live their own lives. The old lady of the Wang family also agreed with this. She would say a few words whenever there was something wrong. Sooner or later, the first and second houses would separate. Judging from the current situation, it should be soon.

After all, no matter who looks at it, the first branch is gradually declining, while the second branch is gradually rising, and there is no point in forcibly tying them together.

Take this trip to Beijing as an example.

Except for two female members of the Wang family's main branch, Madam Li and Sister Feng, the rest of the Wang family's eldest master and Wang Ren did not come at all. They said that they wanted to continue guarding the tomb of the old man in the old house, but in fact they simply did not want to come to the capital.

Wang Ziteng and Wang Yao from the second house both had their reasons for returning to the capital, so they would not be spoiled. If they really returned to the capital on their own, this would be a very obvious signal.

Originally, the family should be united and advance and retreat together, but Li and Feng Jieer insisted on going to Beijing under the banner of serving the old lady of the Wang family, and they also wanted to sever ties with the useless eldest master of the Wang family and Wang Ren and his son.

Besides, having the father and son from the eldest branch of the Wang family stay alone in Jinling City was exactly what they wanted - away from the control of the old lady of the Wang family, if they wanted to turn the old house of the Wang family in Jinling City upside down, no one would interfere, which was simply too great.

In this way, everyone parted ways tacitly, and Wang Yao knew the reason clearly.

That’s what happened to the Wang family’s eldest wife.

As for the second wife, it all depends on his luck.

Wang Ziteng gradually stopped caring about family affairs, with the intention of training him. This was also a tacit understanding between father and son.

The father and son discussed the outside matters, but when it came to the family matters, Wang Ziteng stepped back and let Wang Yao learn how to handle them.

The first thing is the marriage of the girls in the family.

Fortunately, there are only two girls in the family, Feng Jieer and Xianyu, so the preparation is not complicated.

However, what surprised Wang Yao was that the eldest wife, Feng Jie'er, had already been arranged for marriage, so why was she still looking for a date after returning to the capital? Could it be that the old lady had other ideas?

It doesn't matter. Anyway, the old lady is quite reliable in this matter. Besides, Feng Jieer is only his cousin after all. How can she be as important as his biological sister?

Therefore, Wang Yao, who had no reaction to Feng Jie'er's marriage, suddenly changed his attitude when facing the potential suitors of his own sister Xianyu.

Other things are not important, but Xianyu’s matter is a big matter for both father and son.

Especially her marriage, that must be carefully scrutinized and not promised lightly.

So, when Wang Yao saw that the Fourth Prince had actually followed him to the restaurant to talk alone with his beloved sister Xianyu, he immediately became furious and his words became less polite.

"What a wind is blowing today! The Fourth Master actually came to visit us. It really makes us feel embarrassed."

Wang Yao greeted Yinzhen politely but obviously with a hint of sarcasm, and quickly and calmly pulled Xianyu behind him. Before Yinzhen could react, he said:

"My sister is still young. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Fourth Master... Alas, it is already late today. The old lady and the ladies at home are tired. I should send them back home. Please forgive me, Fourth Master. I will not bother you any more."

Seeing that Wang Yao had successfully blocked all his words with one sentence, and turned around to take Xianyu away without giving him a chance to speak, Yinzhen became anxious and said hurriedly: "Brother Wang, please stay, I have something else to say."

Wang Yao paused, but did not let go of Xianyu's hand. Instead, he said impatiently, "Fourth Master, if you have anything to say, you can talk to me. Although my sister is young, she is still a woman who has not left the boudoir. It is inconvenient for Fourth Master to hold her hand and talk to her like this. You should be more careful."

Seeing how Wang Yao protected Xianyu so tightly with his "sister-protecting maniac", Yinzhen had no choice but to give in temporarily - although he had not yet broken that layer of window paper, but since he had already made up his mind, he was inevitably a little restrained when facing Wang Yao.

If he could really marry Xianyu, then Wang Yao would be his elder brother-in-law. In the future, whether they were officials in the same court or he could really sit on that position as Xianyu said, it would be like being a monarch or a minister. No matter which one it was, their relationship had to be good, otherwise it would be a bit uncomfortable.

Yinzhen sighed silently in his heart and decided that it would be a wise man to know the times and not to confront his future brother-in-law head-on for the time being. There is a long time to come and he will always find an opportunity to reconcile in the future.

Facts have proved that he still underestimated how much Wang Yao valued and loved his sister. After the grudge was formed, it has never been resolved... This is a later story. What he has to solve now is how to naturally find opportunities to interact more with the girl he likes.

There was no better excuse than talking about serious business. It just so happened that he had been ordered to investigate the imperial examination fraud case and it had come to a critical moment. Since Wang Yao had taken the initiative to come to him, he might as well join in the investigation together.

So, Wang Yao, who originally wanted to "rescue his sister as a hero", was inexplicably pulled into the investigation team and became a member of the imperial examination fraud investigation team.

This fourth brother is really bad!

Although Wang Yao was so angry that his nose was crooked, he had to hold his nose and endure it for the sake of his sister.

With the addition of Wang Yao, Xianyu's cheating and the fourth master's halo as the male protagonist, this sensational imperial examination cheating case was finally solved one month after the end of the special examination.

There were nearly a hundred people involved in the case. Master Kang was furious and ordered the officials to conduct a thorough investigation and punish severely. For a time, people inside and outside the court were in a panic, fearing that they would accidentally anger the emperor and bring about a fatal disaster.

Amidst such chaos, the Wang family was filled with joy and peace because Wang Yao's test results were out.
