Chapter 83 083 You have no chance, do you know that? ...
Judging from the experiences of the four major families in Jinling, it seems that the best way is to be a loyal minister recognized by Master Kang like the Lin family.
But Xianyu thinks that there is a better way, such as making salted fish or something. Wouldn’t that be safer and more cost-effective?
She learned this method from the Third Prince.
So, none of these princes were given for free.
Reading the evaluations in history books is not as direct as meeting them in real life. During the time when Xianyu was helping Zhang Youshi to set up the medical clinic, she had the opportunity to meet several princes.
The one who interested her the most was indeed the Third Prince.
The Third Prince is eighteen years old this year, one year older than the Fourth Prince. He is the most low-key and indifferent among all the older princes.
Although the Fourth Prince was quite mature despite his young age, the Third Prince was obviously more cultured - this Third Prince was a well-known intellectual who not only knew a lot about astronomy and geography, but also participated in the compilation of history books and dictionaries.
That is the "Kangxi Dictionary". It is impossible for ordinary people to do this. It must be a "learned" person recognized by Master Kang.
It was obvious that the third prince took the lead and became a clear stream among the princes who were eager to take the throne.
Of course, later on, anyone who had read the history of the Qing Dynasty knew that the Third Master also took the route of "hiding one's capabilities and biding one's time", and even did better than the Fourth Master in the early stages. It was just that he was a little bit unable to hold back and was exposed in advance, which made Master Kang decisively choose the Fourth Master who was more capable of pretending. However, this method was really useful in the early stages.
Imagine that you have a group of capable sons, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, but all want your property.
He had only one son, and he was different from the others. He did not fight or compete with others. He was only obsessed with academics, either compiling history books or working on dictionaries. He was really indifferent to fame and fortune, and you could tell at first glance that he was a good child.
Later on, Master Kang was also very fond of the Third Prince. He often went to the Third Prince's house at that time because he was attracted by the fact that the Third Prince was quiet and did not fight or compete.
Of course, there is also the Fourth Uncle who has the same character.
However, their personalities are slightly different.
The third prince is more inclined to be a scholar, while the fourth prince is more pragmatic and hard-working.
In short, as long as they don't covet the throne, they are all good children of Master Kang.
Sadly, these are also illusions.
So, in the end, Master Kang must have been very disappointed, so he just gave the throne to the Fourth Uncle, right?
However, this did not prevent the Third Prince from enjoying many benefits of Master Kang's favor in his early years - such as being granted the title of prince, establishing a mansion, and receiving rewards. Master Kang would come to the mansion every year for family banquets.
Suddenly, there really was a sense of father and son in the folk world. Is this considered family happiness?
Anyway, Xianyu felt that since Master Kang liked such a peaceful life, then their Wang family could also live a peaceful life in front of him.
Of course, they can't just live in peace and tranquility. After all, their family is not a royal family, and there is no taboo about competing for the throne. Living in peace and tranquility all the time may backfire.
Therefore, the best way is for some people to live a peaceful life while others to work hard.
Fortunately, the Wang family has both types of people.
Capable people, of course, have to take on more responsibilities. So whether it's Wang Ziteng or Wang Yao, as the two most capable people in the entire Wang family, they just need to perform normally, and it's obvious that they will have a bright future.
The original novel also said that Wang Ziteng would be the governor of nine provinces in the future. Although Wang Yao did not have many roles, looking at the current situation, he would have a bright future.
As for Xianyu, she can just lie down.
From this perspective, it is a good thing that the men in Fengjie'er's and other members of the Wang family's eldest branch are all useless.
Think about it, the Wang family is such a powerful aristocratic family. From the ancestor of the Wang family, the great grandfather Wang who ruled the county, to the present generation of Feng Jieer, Xianyu, Wang Yao and others, there have been at least five generations and eight branches. The whole family is really prosperous.
The eldest son of the family is incompetent and can only inherit the title and property left by his ancestors, which makes Master Kang feel at ease.
Although the second branch is capable, it is still the second branch after all. Even though Wang Ziteng and his son Wang Yao are both very powerful, they will never be able to reach the level of the Wang family's ancestors in a short period of time - that is to say, it is impossible for the Wang family to have brothers who are all dukes like the ancestors of the Jia family, or brothers who are all marquises like the fourth generation of the Shi family.
But there is a little hope of becoming the second Lin family.
After all, Wang Yao had already taken the path of imperial examination, which was equivalent to letting the entire Wang family completely abandon military affairs and turn to literature.
So, from this point of view, the Wang family is still quite safe.
There is no need to worry about ending up like the Jia, Shi and Xue families - if only Master Kang wasn't so moody and wouldn't suddenly confiscate someone's property or exile someone, that would be enough.
Xianyu observed the several princes who were coming to visit her. Apart from wanting to learn the art of keeping a low profile from the Third Prince, she did not feel any waves in her heart.
Lin Ruhai was watching from the side, and although he was speechless, he couldn't help but praise Xianyu's relaxation - he had never seen a young person as calm as this niece from the Wang family.
This kind of demeanor of "remaining calm even when Mount Tai collapses" really leaves many people far behind - including those adults who have been in the officialdom for many years, few of whom are as steady as Xianyu.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai, who was originally very anxious, gradually calmed down.
Well, what's the old saying?
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings?
This little niece is so calm, she must have a mind of her own. Although she is not very old, she must be well aware of her own affairs.
In that case, let her handle it herself - just to let him see that the Fourth Prince is still a good person. However, if it was his own daughter, none of these princes would choose her.
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea.
Anyone who truly loves his or her daughter would want to marry her into the royal family.
Even if she became a concubine or even a queen, she would not be as comfortable as an ordinary person. She might never see her parents and relatives again in her life, which is really miserable.
I don’t know what Brother Wang Shi is thinking.
He let this young niece show up in public like this. I wonder if he ever thought that she might have been noticed by the royal family a long time ago...
While Lin Ruhai was helping to offer suggestions for the construction of the medical museum, he couldn't help but worry about Xianyu's affairs.
Because he has a good relationship with Wang Ziteng and likes Xianyu very much, Wang Ziteng is not present here, so he inevitably puts on the role of Xianyu's father.
So he didn't have a good face towards those princes who often came and obviously had feelings for Xianyu.
Especially the Fourth Prince, because Lin Ruhai felt that he had the greatest possibility, so he paid the most attention to him, often staring at him silently, which made him very uncomfortable. Several times, he almost couldn't hold on and ran away.
Of course, the fourth uncle was still the fourth uncle. Even so, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and did not really flee.
He did have the idea of "winning the beauty's heart".
But not now.
Firstly, the construction of the medical center is at a critical stage, and he does not want to disturb Xianyu with such a small matter. Secondly, Xianyu is still too young.
She was only twelve years old, four years younger than herself, still a little girl.
He was not the emperor's father, and he did not have the pressure to get married right away - he certainly knew that the emperor's father got married so early because he was under pressure to take power sooner.
But he doesn't need it now.
On the contrary, he needed to be a little low-key in order to gain the trust of the Emperor - as smart as he was, he had already seen through the methods of his third brother at this time.
Isn't it just pretending to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but actually performing in different ways in front of the Emperor every day?
It seems like no one would do that.
Okay, Third Brother, as long as you are happy, I will follow you.
After Yinzhen made this decision in his mind, he went to the medical clinic to report for duty every day.
But he is different from the Fifth Prince. He will not behave like a pervert. He just wants to pay attention to Xianyu silently.
And he didn't just sit there in a daze, he also helped Xianyu and the others do things within his ability - doesn't liking her mean helping her do the things she likes?
Since she wants to build this medical clinic, he will help her.
Not to mention that this medical center is a meritorious project that benefits all people, even if it is just for her own wish to build it, he will work hard to help her achieve it.
So, who asked this silly Lao Wu to come here?
You said you were here, so you came. It would be fine if you didn't help, but you had to stare at the girl stupidly. I know that you just have admiration for the girl and don't have any bad intentions.
If someone doesn’t know you, they would think you are some kind of pervert. Well - no, what kind of child would stare at someone like that?
Don't ever say you're my brother when you go out...
The Fourth Prince's behavior towards the Fifth Prince was very disappointing. But he had no other choice.
After all, the Fourth Prince couldn't just chase the Fifth Prince away like that, because the Fifth Prince didn't do anything bad except sitting there or standing in the corner staring at Xianyu.
So, there is no way to deal with him.
But if I don't deal with it, I'll feel dizzy just looking at him.
The Fourth Prince glared at the Fifth Prince several times, but finally compromised reluctantly.
All right, you can watch it if you want. Anyway, the Emperor said before that the Imperial Household Department will hold a beauty pageant in the spring of next year, and then they will arrange a marriage between him and Miss Wang.
So, Lao Wu, just go to bed?
This is your future sister-in-law. You have no chance at all, do you know that?
