Volume 1: The King's Son Chapter 2: The Art of Painting
"It's Xiao Dong..."
Wang Ai sat on the armchair in the middle, picked up the mild tea on the table, took a sip and asked, "What's the matter? I see you've been waiting for me here for a long time!"
"Yes, sir! This is the information about Zhang Huaiyi that you asked me to look up before..."
Just as Uncle Dong was about to continue speaking, Wang Ai suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.
At this time, Uncle Dong also realized that there was another Wang Bing in the main hall! It was indeed not appropriate to talk about these things.
Wang Bing saw this and probably thought that the old man didn't want him to know about the "Jiashen Rebellion", so he stood up and said, "Grandpa, since Uncle Dong wants to talk to you about something, I'll go back and finish today's homework first!"
"Ah...well, go ahead!"
Wang Ai, who originally wanted to send Wang Bing away, saw that his grandson had brought it up first, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Wait a minute, Grandpa will check your practice!"
"OK!"
After saying that, Wang Bing left the main hall in two steps, but he did not walk far! Instead, he held his breath and leaned against the door, as if he wanted to listen to what the old man was going to say!
It is now the second half of 2000. Logically speaking, Zhang Huaiyi should have appeared to fight against the heroes in 2003...
Has his whereabouts been exposed now?
"Master, according to the informant, some time ago someone in Shandong witnessed a 5-year-old child fighting with a group of children. During the fight, it seemed that the Golden Light Curse was used!"
Uncle Dong reported in a low voice: "But according to our subsequent investigation, there is another old man in that family. It seems that his name is not Zhang Huaiyi, but Zhang Xilin!"
"What did the Tianshi Mansion say?" Wang Ai continued to ask as he looked at the report in his hand.
"The news from Longhu Mountain says that there is no such person in Tianshi Mansion!"
Uncle Dong continued, "And this old man named Zhang Xilin does look a bit like the one you described to me..."
"That's definitely him!"
Wang Ai slammed the table and said, "Are they still in Shandong? Send someone to contact the rest of their family!"
"I'm sorry, sir..."
Uncle Dong said hesitantly, "The people over there said that they seem to have moved away... They didn't leave any messages, and this family didn't have much contact with the neighbors. They didn't know where Zhang Xilin's family moved to..."
"The old guy is quite sensitive!"
Wang Ai picked up the teacup, licked the rim with the lid and said, "Since the old man wants to hide, we won't let him hide! Send people to Hebei, Henan, AH and Jiangsu to spread the news that Zhang Huaiyi has appeared!"
"Let me see where this big-eared thief can hide!"
"But master..." Uncle Dong hesitated to speak.
"Haha, the Eight Wonders of Jiashen, our family alone can't handle them all (after all, we already have one)..."
Wang Ai smiled sinisterly and said, "Since we can't eat it all, why not invite a few more..."
"As for who ends up in the hands of the enemy...it all depends on their own abilities!"
…
Wang Bing, who was standing outside the door at this moment, was also a little dazed.
It turns out that Zhang Huaiyi's sudden appearance at this point in time was not entirely his own will...
The Wang family was behind the scenes, forcing Zhang Huaiyi to have nowhere to hide, so he simply gave up hiding.
Everyone has a temper!
What’s more, he is such a genius!
Rather than passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative and take away a few old guys who know the inside story before you die.
In this way, his descendants can also have a chance to breathe! They won't be in danger all the time.
"Wang Bing, what are you doing?"
Just as Wang Bing was thinking, suddenly a little girl's voice came from behind him!
Wang Bing was so scared that he shuddered. He turned around and covered the mouth of the little girl behind him.
Take her out of the front hall quickly!
Wang Ai in the room seemed to have noticed something and asked Uncle Dong to go out and take a look.
Uncle Dong walked to the door and looked around. After making sure that there was no one there, he went back to report to Wang Ai.
Aside.
Wang Bing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand...
"Oh my god, why did you bite me?"
Wang Bing quickly let go of his hand and glared at the little girl. This unlucky girl was his own sister, Wang Na!
" I haven't asked you yet. It's just a greeting. Why did you react so strongly? I almost couldn't breathe!" Wang Na glared at Wang Bing.
"Well……"
Wang Bing now thought about it and realized that he had really used too much force just now, and was afraid that his sister would make some noise.
"Sorry, I was a little nervous!" Wang Bing apologized.
"Forget it, Dad asked me to call you and ask you to come over!"
After Wang Na finished speaking, she remembered something and said, "Your snacks belong to me. It's your compensation!"
"ah?"
Wang Bing was stunned at first, but then he realized that Wang Na was talking about snacks, and then he was relieved. He had long disliked snacks, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it's yours!"
After watching the little girl skipping back to the back hall, Wang Bing also shook his head.
Walk towards your father.
Sometimes, Wang Bing often sighed that the Wang family compound was too big!
There is no south house in the Wang family compound. After entering from the main gate and going around the screen wall, you will reach the central square of the compound. There is not only a training ground, but also a park...
Looking from above, the Wang family's courtyard is a rectangle.
In addition to the family ancestral hall and the main hall, there are about 20 side rooms in the north building.
There are more than 10 side rooms on the east and west sides.
The building on the north side is for the Wang family's descendants to live in, while the wing rooms on the east and west sides are for the servants and some foreigners who are vassals of the Wang family.
Due to the turmoil in Wang Ai's generation, he did not have many descendants, only two sons!
But by the time of Wang Bing's father, the Wang family had more talented people. For example, Wang Bing's grandfather had four children! Two boys and two girls...
Wang Zhongshu (Wang Bing's father), Wang Yuanguang, Wang Yuluan, and Wang Yanwen.
This was suggested by Wang Ai. It sounds quite interesting. The names of these four people actually mean pen, ink, paper and inkstone!
What made Wang Bing speechless was that when it came to their generation, the naming was handed over to their grandfather, and the result was Wang Bing, Wang Na...
The class dropped instantly!
When Wang Bing arrived at Wang Zhongshu's room, he saw a middle-aged man with a crew cut and wearing a suit sitting there reading a newspaper!
After seeing Wang Bing come in, Wang Zhongshu puffed out his bloated belly and said, "Haha! My eldest son is back!"
"Dad, you don't have any social engagements tonight?" Wang Bing asked curiously. In the past, his father was often so busy that he didn't even go home.
"Leave it to your third aunt! Your grandfather means to let her take care of the company more!" said Wang Zhongshu.
Wang Bing nodded. To be honest, her third aunt was quite miserable. She was born in a big family of aliens but she was not an alien...
A bit similar to Lu Ci’s fourth son of the Lu family, Lu Yi!
Just because he was not an alien, he was sent out to manage the family business...
The good thing about the Wang family is that the Wang family is not an independent village like the Lu family. The Wang family and the city are integrated into one, and there is no feeling of being squeezed out of the village like the Lu family.
But, discrimination still exists to some extent. After all, this kind of thing happens even in that extraordinary family!
"Is there something wrong? Father, I heard Nana tell me that you have something to talk to me about." Wang Bing asked.
"yes!"
Wang Zhongshu stood up and said quietly: "I heard from your grandfather before that your great grandfather seemed to want you to learn the art of painting!"
"The art of painting?"
Wang Bing was slightly stunned. He thought he was asked to learn how to summon spirits and dispatch generals!
