Chapter 26: Call your uncle quickly
Xu Yan didn’t know much about the Wang family in Qizhou. He only knew that this was a top-notch family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
When Yu founded the country, the Wang family secretly supported him, sending money, food, and people to Emperor Yu, allowing him to grow bigger step by step, destroying other forces, and finally establishing the Central Plains.
Many people say that without the support of the Wang family, Dayu would not be what it is today. This is actually true.
After Dayu was stabilized, the Wang family chose to retreat bravely. They gave up all their rights and retired to seclusion as a family. At the same time, they also strictly ordered their clan members not to serve as officials in the court for generations to come.
After the Wang family made this move, the whole world was shocked.
Although Yu Gaozu didn't say anything on the surface, he was actually so happy that he couldn't sleep. However, in order to stop everyone in the world from talking, Yu Gaozu specifically issued an order for the princes and grandsons to marry into the Wang family. Later emperors will also marry into each other.
This tradition has been preserved.
Many years ago, the eldest daughter and second daughter of the Wang family in Qizhou married the current emperor and Prince An respectively. They are the current queen and Xu Yan's late mother.
It can be said that today, more than half of the members of the royal family have the blood of the Wang family. Although the Wang family does not participate in government affairs, they can be regarded as co-ruling the world with the royal family.
The best way to control power is to give it up. It can only be said that the Wang family is very smart.
As soon as Xu Yan arrived downstairs, he saw a young man in his twenties chatting with the madam.
Seeing Xu Yan and Xin Lan, the young man quickly pushed Zhang Guimei away and walked to Xin Lan.
"Miss Xinlan, I'm here again."
Thinking he was handsome, he flipped up his hair and looked at Xinlan lovingly.
Xu Yan was disgusted by what he saw. It was really "an oily thing in the world".
Xinlan also felt disgusted, but thinking of the other party's identity, she held it back and did not show any displeasure.
Salute politely: "Young lady has met the prince!"
At this time, Xu Qianan also walked over and came to Xu Yan's side.
Pointing at the young man, he asked without hesitation: "Who are you forcing? I look so disgusting!"
Seeing the unkind look cast by the young man, Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh: He is indeed the protagonist, he can attract hatred wherever he goes.
Just when the young man was about to get angry, Zhang Guimei spoke up first: "I pay my respects to His Highness King Wu, His Highness Prince Zhuang Xun!"
Xu Yan looked at Zhang Guimei. This old guy reacted very quickly and didn't even give a chance for conflicts to arise.
There is nothing Zhang Guimei can do! Although she has Wang An's support behind her, these three people have extraordinary identities. If they really start a quarrel here, Wang An will definitely not care. If the three of them expose Yue Qing, she will
Who can I talk to for explanation?
When the young man heard Zhang Guimei's words, most of the anger in his heart dissipated.
His eyes were mainly on Xu Yan, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes. Because the two of them are relatives, although they are separated by several generations.
"Wang Teng, a common man, pays homage to Wan'an, the king of Zhuangxun County!"
As for Xu Qianan, Wang Teng selectively ignored it.
Xu Qian'an got angry and came up.
Didn't he see such a big man standing here? Or does the dignified King Wu not have enough face?
Xu Yan patted Xu Qianan and signaled him to calm down.
"You are also a member of the Wang family, so you should also know about dignity and inferiority. He is His Royal Highness King Wu of Dayu. He has a distinguished status and should be polite when meeting him!"
Wang Teng stayed for a few seconds and asked him to salute Xu Qianan, the "scourge"? Doesn't he want to lose face?
In the end, under Xu Yan's gaze, Wang Teng had to bow in humiliation.
Looking at Wang Teng's unhappy expression, Xu Qianan was happy.
"Xiao Wang, which lineage of the Wang family are you from? What is your relationship with Xu Yan?"
Xu Qian'an shamelessly pulled Wang Teng and asked about Wang Teng's parents and origin.
Wang Teng also met Xu Yan for the first time, and it took him a long time to figure out the relationship between the two.
"You mean that your grandfather is the nephew of Prince An's concubine, Prince Xu, and the cousin of Xu Yan, so aren't you Xu Yan's grandnephew!"
Xu Qianan looked at Wang Teng with a look of gloating on his misfortune. He was older than Xu Yan, but his seniority was so different.
Wang Teng didn't feel that there was anything he couldn't accept about the fact that Xu Yan was his uncle. A wealthy family like the Wang family had gone through such a long period of inheritance and had already formed countless branches. The seniority differences among the clan members were all different.
A lot.
Wang Teng's lineage is already very close to the direct lineage.
Wang Teng naturally said to Xu Yan: "Uncle!"
Xu Qian'an didn't know what to say. He asked you to call him uncle without any hesitation. But asking you to call him King Wu was like forcing you to eat shit with a knife. Let's just say, is the reputation of King Wu really that bad?
Wang Teng gave Xu Yan a pretty good impression. Although he didn't like Xu Qianan, he said it as if any normal person could.
"You and I are about the same age, so it's not appropriate to call me uncle."
"Then I'd better call you Prince!"
The three of them were considered acquainted, and Wang Teng took the initiative to take Xu Yan and Xu Qianan to drink. However, Xu Yan had been drinking for a day and his stomach couldn't hold it anymore, so he stayed beside them to talk to them.
After being poured a few drinks by Xu Qian'an, Wang Teng became a little drunk and was no longer so reserved. He pointed at Xin Lan who was pouring wine and said: "Your Majesty, this is Yue Qingzha's oiran, she's so good-looking.
It’s beautiful. If you like it, I won’t compete with you.”
Xinlan, who was pouring the wine, was a little confused. Why did she mention herself again and send her here and there like a commodity?
Before Xu Yan could speak, Xu Qianan jumped out and said with a hint of sourness: "Why don't you ask me? Just because Xu Yan is your uncle?"
Wang Teng pushed Xu Qianan and said disgustedly: "You are a disaster. Miss Xinlan is a fairy-like figure. How could you fall into the mouth of a toad like you? Although my uncle's status is not as good as yours, he is also a talented person. Xinlan is worthy of him."
Great uncle is just right, okay?"
Just say it properly, why do you use personal attacks?
If Wang Teng hadn't been drunk, Xu Qian'an would have given him two big mouths to let him know the dangers of society.
"By the way, Wang Teng, why are you here in Beijing? I remember that people from the Wang family rarely come to Beijing, and everyone avoids them!"

Wang Teng sighed and said slowly: "The county prince may not know that the Wang family's rules for their children are extremely strict. After each clan member is crowned, he must go out to explore. If he does not achieve some results, he is not allowed to enter the Wang family."<
/p>
Xu Yan and Xu Qian'an looked at each other. They really didn't know that the Wang family had such cruel rules.
"So you were kicked out by your family?"
"It's not like being kicked out. My father gave me some capital and asked me to start a business. As long as I can make money, I can go back."
When it came to business, Xu Qianan was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He asked, "How much capital do you have and what business do you want to do?"
Wang Teng stretched out two fingers.
He tentatively reported the number: "Two thousand taels of silver?"
Wang Teng shook his head, indicating something was wrong.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver?"
Wang Teng shook his head again and said: "It's twenty thousand gold."
Xu Qian'an couldn't help but take a breath.
Xu Yan was also a little surprised. Are all members of the Wang family so rich? Just give so much money to a weak and weak child.
"Well, I took twenty thousand gold and traveled around most of the Yu Kingdom, but I still couldn't find a business suitable for me. I kept walking, and I came to Shangjing last month, wanting to try my luck here.
”
Wang Teng's tone was filled with distress and unwillingness.
On the other hand, Xu Qianan's eyes were shining. He had a lot of business ideas, but he happened to be short of money. No, there just happened to be a grievance... Bah, partner.
Xu Yan also saw Xu Qianan's plan, but he did not stop it.
If Wang Teng is allowed to follow Xu Qianan, he will definitely make money, but the difference is that he will make more or less. With his brain that does not look very smart, he will probably be tricked by Xu Qianan.
"Xiao Wang, I actually have a lot of money-making ideas. How about we cooperate?"
"No!"
Wang Teng didn't even hesitate and refused directly to Xu Qianan.
"Why?"
"Because you are a disaster!"
"..."
Xu Qianan discovered that when Wang Teng talked to him, the word "disaster" could not be separated from the three sentences.
"Xiao Wang, I feel like you have some misunderstandings about me! You can ask your uncle, he knows what kind of person I am. You will never find a good boy like me in Kyoto."
