Chapter 38 The Family's Attention
"Meihua, we'll talk about what your mother and son have to say later. This time, we have something very important to ask Chong'er! We must ask him about Yao, Wang's family, and King Song."
Suddenly, a heavy and majestic voice came into his ears. Wang Chong raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting at the most prominent place in the center.
His face is serious and meticulous, and sitting there gives a very majestic, very rational feeling. This kind of person looks like the kind of person who is very suitable for taking up important positions in the court.
In fact, he is.
"Uncle!"
A thought flashed in Wang Chong's mind. This person was his uncle Wang Gen. In the previous life, when Wang Chong first crossed into this world, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he was a little afraid of this uncle Wang Gen, who was not very close to him.
There are some people in this world who are angry because they are angry, and it is because they are angry that they are afraid. But there are some people who seem to be born to be feared.
They don't seem to be able to laugh from the bottom of their hearts, and when they do, they are terrifying, even more terrifying than crying.
This uncle is such a person!
Even his cousin Wang Zhuyan, in some respects, it was because he inherited the genes of his eldest uncle that Wang Chong felt that she was so embarrassing.
"Since the uncle said it, then do as the uncle said."
Mrs. Wang Zhao Shuhua let go of her hand and looked embarrassed, obviously she was also a little afraid of Wang Chong's eldest uncle. In a feudal society, the eldest brother was the father, and Wang Gen was the eldest son, so he naturally had an advantage in the Wang family. This was not only for Zhao Shuhua, but also for everyone including Wang Chong's aunt, uncle, and uncle.
As soon as the uncle spoke, everyone was silent. Only Wang Chong's cousin Wang Zhuyan was much quieter, but Wang Chong winked mischievously, raised his thumb, and gave an encouraging gesture.
"Wang Chong, let me ask you. Your father suddenly pulled out his camp at the border, and the army retreated fifty miles, evading Yao Guangyi's plot. Your father said it was your credit, and you told him. I ask you, this is Really?"
Wang Chong's eldest uncle, Wang Gen, stared at Wang Chong. In an instant, Wang Chong's aunt and uncle all looked over.
Everyone looked at Wang Chong, waiting for his answer.
Although his mother had explained everything, Wang Chong could see that everyone obviously did not believe that he did it. Even my cousin Wang Zhuyan didn't believe it a bit.
After all, compared to his previous actions, what he did this time was simply too amazing.
"it's me!"
Wang Chong was silent for a moment, before facing everyone's gaze, he nodded seriously.
These two simple words fell in the ears of everyone, but they felt completely different. Everyone looked at Wang Chong with complicated expressions. Although Wang Chong's father had already made the problem clear in another letter to the family.
But it was still very shocking to hear the confirmation from Wang Chong's mouth.
"I ask you, what's going on here?"
Wang Chong's eldest uncle still said coldly with a straight face.
"Wang Chong, don't be nervous. Your uncle didn't want to interrogate you!"
Aside, Wang Chong's aunt Wang Rushuang quickly explained:
"You may not know yet that the matter at the border has caused an uproar in the capital. The Yao family's actions are not authentic.
A few days ago, Yao Guangyi showed up in your father's territory with someone, trying to create the illusion that our Wang family and Yao's Bing Shi Qian Shi would join forces together. "
"Fortunately, your father listened to your words, led the army to pull out the camp, retreated 50 miles ahead of time, cleared the suspicion, and caught Yao Guangyi and the Yao family by surprise. Your father said all this clearly in the letter, this is all you. In the battle with the Yao family, our Wang family has regained a lot."
"Wang Chong, now you are a great hero of our Wang family!"
Wang Chong was only a fifteen-year-old child, and he was not afraid of his eldest brother, Wang Gen, in the Wang family. Wang Chong's aunt Wang Rushuang seemed to know this, so she smiled to ease the atmosphere.
"Besides, this time I asked you to find out about the situation, which is actually your grandfather's intention. You have merits and faults, so don't be too nervous."
Hearing the aunt's last words, Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly regained his spirits. If I remember correctly, Grandpa sits in the Sifang Pavilion and provides policy decision-making support for the Holy Emperor at any time. He never cares about such trivial matters other than national affairs.
What happened on the frontier this time obviously caught his attention. Or to be more precise, it was himself who caught his attention.
Among the grandchildren of the Wang family, only the eldest brother and the first cousin have caught the attention of the grandfather. This is the first time that his little grandson has been valued by his grandfather.
Wang Chong quickly glanced at his mother and saw that her face was flushed, obviously already aware of this.
"Great!"
Wang Chong clenched his fists violently, and his heart moved. This is definitely an unexpected bonus. In the Wang family, although the grandfather is old, he has the supreme status.
All the rights, status, reputation and influence of the Wang family all came from grandfather's deeds of following the dragon. In the court, grandpa has a huge influence.
The reason why my uncle and father have their current status is all because of my grandfather's credit!
Yao Guangyi of the Yao family, including the immortal old man Yao, and the king of Qi, who is a royal family member, is so afraid of the Wang family and tried every means to break up the Wang family and King Qi. The key is also because of his secluded Sifang Pavilion , Grandpa who doesn't show up easily!
But Wang Chong didn't care about this.
"Can I read the letter on the table first?"
Wang Chong pointed at the white envelope on the table.
"Of course, this was originally sent to you!"
The people in the room nodded.
Wang Chong took the envelope, glanced at it, and found that the lead seal on the envelope had been removed. Obviously, the contents of the letter have been read by others.
However, Wang Chong was not surprised at all.
King Song and King Qi are the two most powerful princes in the Tang Dynasty. Surrounding them, I don't know how many important court officials and border generals were involved.
This kind of partisan struggle in the courthouse has always been extremely dangerous, like thin ice.
The Wang family is involved in it, and if one gets it right, the body will die and the Tao will disappear.
When it comes to this kind of thing, it would be really strange if the Wang family didn't care, didn't care, and didn't want to figure it out.
Opening the letter, taking out the letter paper inside, the lines of dragons and phoenixes danced, and the majestic handwriting came out, revealing a sense of urgency between the lines.
"It's my father's handwriting."
Wang Chong recognized his father's handwriting. In the letter, his father Wang Yan gave a complete account of the whole story. Not surprisingly, my father really listened to what he said. On the day he mentioned, he dispatched a scout to detect Yao Guangyi's movements in advance, and then retreated fifty miles ahead of schedule.
It didn't take long for the whole thing to go through. However, it was more about asking Wang Chong. Wang Chong could feel the deep confusion in his father's heart.
Undoubtedly, there were too many things before and after the whole thing that he couldn't understand. Why did Wang Chong know that Yao Guangyi was going to kill him, why did he know when the King of Song would send messengers to pick him up, and why did he know that the Hu people would invade and that Yao Guangyi would send troops to appear in his territory, so he had to retreat fifty miles in advance?
If Wang Chong's usual performance is extremely outstanding, wise and intelligent, he is valued by his family, and he shows amazing talent. However, Wang Chong's past performance has always been worrying.
Not long ago, he even did something so lowly that an ordinary nobleman would not do something like robbing a civilian girl.
Just imagine, such a Wang Chong suddenly became so insightful and wise, who would not doubt it?
Wang Chong raised his head and glanced at him. The eldest uncle, cousin, aunt, and uncle all said nothing and looked at him expectantly.
This was the first time that Wang Chong had received so much attention in the family. In his mind, countless thoughts flew by, Wang Chong gradually calmed down, and many thoughts in his mind gradually became clear.
In the last life, until the Wang family completely declined, Wang Chong never received any attention from the family. In the eyes of all the family members, Wang Chong was an idiot who couldn't be helped.
But the Wang family is not an ordinary family. In the entire Middle-earth, there are absolutely few aristocratic families that can be compared with the entire Wang family.
Wang Chong deeply knew that if he could get the attention of his family, it would be of great help to his future plans. With the resources of the Wang family, including grandfather, uncle, aunt, uncle, father, elder brother, cousin, cousin... all the energy combined, the power is extremely huge.
This is absolutely incomparable to struggle alone.
But before that, I need to win their trust and the approval of all family members! In Wang Chong's plan, the first step to change the Wang family has been completed, the next step is to enter the core of the family, and now is the best opportunity!
My grandfather, who lives in seclusion in the Sifang Pavilion, rarely asks about the younger generation. Although it was the uncle, aunt, and uncle who came here this time, they were the ones who asked me.
But Wang Chong knew deeply that his grandfather, who was a powerful man, was the one who really asked him.
The incident at the border had a great impact. His father "unintentionally" escaped a plot by Yao Guangyi, which made the entire Wang family escape unintentionally.
This kind of performance is really amazing, and it's not like what people of my age can do.
Now not only grandpa, I am afraid everyone wants to know how they did it?
Wang Chong can easily find many plausible excuses. For example, like some people who have traveled through the world, a master from outside the world came to him and told him of the Yao family's conspiracy; I heard the Yao family's plan to deal with the Wang family, so I told my father.
All of these can be said. But in doing so, it runs counter to its original purpose!
If you want to squeeze into the core of the family and let everyone pay attention to yourself, you must fully show your edge, let everyone pay attention to yourself, and leave a deep and unforgettable impression on them.
"Uncle, I wonder if you still remember not long ago, Ma Zhou used my name to rob a civilian girl?"
Wang Chong raised his head, looked at Wang Gen, the oldest uncle with the highest status among the people, and said calmly.
"Remember!"
Wang Gen said. His face was expressionless, but his heart suddenly jumped, and a strange feeling flashed.
In the Wang family, he is the eldest son, and he inherited almost all the rights and influences of the old man. He has a supreme position in the family, and there is almost no one in the Wang family who is not afraid of him.
Not to mention the juniors like Wang Chong and Wang Zhuyan, the elders like Wang Rushuang and Zhao Shuhua felt a little scared when they saw him.
Wang Chong had seen him a few times before, and each time he was afraid to let out the air and timid, but this time, this ignorant "scum" of the Wang family dared to look directly at him without any fear. .
Even Wang Chong's eldest and second brothers couldn't do this.
"This kid..."
Wang Gen frowned slightly. In all fairness, before he came, he didn't believe Wang Yan's words at all. Can you point Wang Yan just with the little goods in Wang Chong's stomach?
In all likelihood, Wang Yan was protecting his son in this matter, and in order to attract the attention of the old man, he put gold on his face.
But now, looking at Wang Chong's eloquent, calm and calm demeanor, Wang Gen suddenly felt a little uncertain. After decades of polishing in the officialdom, I am really not afraid of pretending not to be afraid that he can still tell the difference.
The Wang Chong in front of him was indeed different from the impression he had in his memory.
