Not only were the two brothers of Beiliang, Hsu Fengnian and Xu Longxiang present, there was also a deputy administrator that had never been set up before in the Liyang Dynasty. In the twilight, before the city was closed, there was a mighty group of horses entering Qing Cang. The guards were actually from the Wei River Camp. In Beiliang, only the "relatives of the emperor" who were related to the Xu family by marriage would have this kind of special treatment. If it wasn't the Lu Family in Qingzhou, then it would be the Lin Family that produced the God of Wealth. As expected, Liu Zhen, who was in charge of welcoming the guests, saw the tall figure of Wang Linquan. He was travel-worn. Originally, Liu Zhen was a bit nervous. After all, Wang Linquan was a pawn who carried the flag for the Great General. He was a trusted aide among trusted aides. Now that he had become the new King Liang's father-in-law, he was an influential person of "two dynasties". As a scholar, he didn't dare to put on airs in front of such a popular person. However, Wang Linquan was very easy to talk to. Although he didn't deliberately speak warmly, his eyes were sincere. This made Liu Zhen feel a bit better. Liu Zhen had heard before that the two people from Beiliang who were also from Qingzhou, the Lu Family led by the great scholar Lu Dongjiang was very hard to please. Wang Linquan, who was the richest man in Qingzhou, was very considerate. There had never been any rumors that the Lin Family bullied others. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, Liu Zhen believed most of it. Liu Zhen led Wang Linquan to a quiet courtyard in the north of the old Dragon King's residence. There were no strict guards along the way. Wang Linquan, who had sharp eyes, felt a bit of a knot in his heart. He felt that the Provincial Governor Yang Guangdou was too careless. However, he quickly felt relieved. In today's world, how many masters dared to show off their martial arts in front of the King of Beiliang?
However, after Wang Linquan and Liu Zhen crossed the courtyard door, they saw the scene in front of them. They looked at each other in dismay. They saw the young king sitting on the stairs with his sleeves rolled up and washing his brother Xu Longxiang's hair. The young commander of the Dragon-Elephant Cavalry was squatting two steps down. He raised his butt and lowered his head towards the water basin. Liu Zhen didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly took her leave. Hsu Fengnian held Xu Longxiang's hair with one hand and used the other hand to apply local soap on his brother's hair. When he saw his father-in-law, he could only raise his elbow and gesture for Wang Linquan to sit beside him. Xu Longxiang turned his head and grinned. This could be considered a greeting. Wang Linquan couldn't help but feel flattered. In Beiliang, the young prince didn't warm up to anyone. Even when he was with his second sister Xu Weixiong, he rarely smiled. As Hsu Fengnian washed Xu Longxiang's hair, he said casually, "I can only rest assured when I leave all the big and small businesses in Liuzhou to Uncle Wang. There will definitely be a lot of gossip. Some people will say that I appoint people by favoritism, that I only care about the Xu family's money and ignore Beiliang's great achievements. Otherwise, even if I don't avoid family, why would I only use the Wang family and ignore the talented Lu Family? Others may not be able to see the twists and turns in this matter, but your Uncle Wang must be well aware. Ever since the death of Lu Feichi of the Pillar State, Lu Feichi of the Lu Family, Lu Dongjiang is temporarily unable to support the Lu Family. Our Master Lu, after his death, first sought an official position for the Lu Family's children. After being rejected by his daughter, Lu Chengyan, he has now begun to compete with others for the position of the leader of Beiliang's literary scene. He hasn't been idle for a moment. I can't say anything and can only let him do as he pleases. As long as he doesn't cross the line, there will always be a place for the Lu Family at the New Year's Eve dinner on Mount Qing Liang. "
Wang Linquan sighed and didn't say anything else. Although the Xu Family and the Lu Family were grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing honor and disgrace, it was difficult for an honest official to resolve family disputes. The Lu Family didn't look far ahead, and Wang Linquan couldn't run to Lu Family and criticize them in front of Lu Dongjiang. Moreover, the entire Lu Family was filled with scholars, each more arrogant than the other. They would never take a merchant like him seriously. Because of their daughters, the Lu Family and the Wang Family were on equal footing in Beiliang. The Wang Family didn't think much of it, but the Lu Family, which had been officials for generations, was something they felt ashamed of. Hsu Fengnian helped his younger brother dry his hair. He raised his head to look at the uneasy Wang Linquan and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Uncle Wang? Don't you recognize me?"
Wang Linquan smiled bitterly and said softly, "Wang Ye, my daughter Chu Dong has never understood the ways of the world. Now, she has run to the Academy to cause trouble. It is really improper. Wang Ye, when it is time to scold and hit her, please don't be lenient."
Hsu Fengnian joked, "I can't bear to do that. I don't know how other people get married, but the Xu Family has never had a rule of hiding a woman at home. Uncle Wang, you have seen my mother. Does Xu Xiao dare?"
Wang Linquan laughed brightly and said, "Wang Ye is joking. Wang Fei is a rare woman in the world. My daughter doesn't dare to be mentioned in the same breath as Wang Fei. The General respects Wang Fei, and that is because Wang Fei deserves it."
Hsu Fengnian raised his sleeve to carelessly wipe his face and asked, "Uncle Wang, do you want to talk about Xu Xiao's past? When he talks with me and Huang Man 'er, he always likes to talk about his heroic deeds. Every time I ask about those famous defeats, he always avoids talking about them."
