Protect Our Chief-Chapter 663 - 77: Husband Grows Skills! Concubines Can Be Taken at Will

...

Just when Wang Dinghai’s wife from the Wang Family, Madam Chen, was leading over a handsome little boy of about four or five years to pay their respects.

A sudden sense of unease tickled Wang Shihai’s heart, turning into a feeling of joy.

Wang Shouzhe stepped forward and was the first to bow: "Shouzhe pays respects to Sixth Aunt."

In any Noble Family, the hierarchy of generations is emphasized. Even a Patriarch or Young Clan Leader must show the necessary etiquette and respect when meeting elders.

In fact, as Patriarch and Young Clan Leader, they should set an example for the clan, preserving kinship and unity, showcasing a good family tradition.

Imagine if Wang Shouzhe abused his power as Patriarch or took pride in his accomplishments, showing no respect for elders or affection for the young, other clanspeople would naturally imitate him. Over time, such a family would surely collapse and eventually disintegrate.

Madam Chen first greeted Ancestor Longyan, then slightly nervously bowed to Wang Shouzhe, "Greetings, Shouzhe." Then, she tugged at Wang Shoucheng, urging him, "Hurry and greet your Fourth Brother."

"Greetings, Fourth Brother," Wang Shoucheng said, his little face turning pale with nerves, his voice innocent and childlike.

The reputation of Fourth Brother is terrifying among peers and younger generations. Especially for the seventh and eighth generations, if caught by him, you would often face a test...

If you passed the test smoothly, you might even receive many rewards. But if you were caught being lazy, that would be big trouble... He would keep you in his mind, keeping an eye on you, creating ways to trouble you... making you uneasy even in your dreams.

These were all what the older siblings told him...

"It’s been only half a year since we last met, and Little Jiu has grown quite a bit." Wang Shouzhe, with a warm smile, picked up Wang Shoucheng, and while patting his head, said, "You must be starting your literacy lessons by now? How many characters have you learned? Can you do arithmetic?"

Standing beside, Wang Shouming and Wang Luoqing became stiff, as that gentle tone and concerned demeanor seemed to take them back to their "warm" childhood.

There were several instances where they failed Fourth Brother’s tests, and afterwards, they would either be spanked by their father Wang Dinghai or scolded by their tearful mother for several nights.

"I... I can recognize a few hundred characters now..." The young Wang Shoucheng nervously swallowed and said, "And I can do some simple addition and subtraction too."

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe became quite awake.

He then took the opportunity to test Wang Shoucheng, who despite being tense, answered every question, showing he had put in effort.

"Very good, very good." Wang Shouzhe praised approvingly, "It seems Sixth Aunt has put in a lot of effort in teaching. Having guided Shouye well in the past, she is now also nurturing Shoucheng quite successfully."

While speaking, Wang Shouzhe even bowed slightly to Madam Chen: "Sixth Aunt, you’ve worked hard."

"Not hard at all, not hard at all, it’s Shouye and Shoucheng who deserve the credit for being motivated." Madam Chen beamed with pride.

The two exchanged a few words.

Wang Shouming and Wang Luoqing exchanged embarrassed glances at the side. They focused entirely on praising Shouye and Shoucheng, completely overlooking them. Indeed, they were cherished treasures, while the others were overlooked.

After complimenting Shoucheng, Wang Shouzhe then began to introduce Wang Shihai: "Shihai, this is Grandpa the Ninth from our Shou Generation... and this is Sixth Great-Grandmother."

Wang Shihai’s heart pounded, his nose tingled, thinking that just when he felt things might go wrong and had shrunk to the back, Fourth Granduncle had not forgotten him. How grateful he was!

But such is the nature of a Noble Family.

One must not neglect etiquette despite the young age of the other party. Shedding tears in his heart, he wore a smile on his face, bowing: "Shihai greets Ninth Grandpa and Sixth Great-Grandmother."

At that moment, Wang Shihai wished to return home.

He should never, never have come alone; now he was the sole focus.

The incense time that followed.

Wang Shihai could barely tell how he passed it, thankful that kneeling was not customary among Noble Families, otherwise, he would have kowtowed endlessly!

Afterwards.

Wang Shouzhe personally arranged accommodation for Wang Shihai, considering his youth and fondness for new things, placing him in the top suite of the Wang Family’s internal guest hotel.

This lakeside hotel was originally built specifically for Ancestor Longyan’s Celestial Human Banquet, incorporating many of Wang Shouzhe’s modern aesthetic ideas from Earth. Especially the top-floor suites, where the interiors were luxurious yet clean, featuring 24-hour hot water supply, ceramic bathtubs, ceramic toilets, bright array lighting systems, and large floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Zhuwei Lake.

The maids and servants, all in uniform, underwent rigorous training.

Everything there contrasted distinctly with the traditional architectural and decorative atmosphere of the Daqian Kingdom.

"Fourth Granduncle~" Wang Shihai, like entering the Grand View Garden, found everything new and exciting, "Why is this bed so bouncy? This ceramic toilet feels strange to use, and it’s connected at the bottom, so how does the servant empty it?"

"The bed has springs underneath... As for the toilet and others, you’ll figure them out by yourself." Wang Shouzhe said, "Press this bell, and there will be maids and servants to respond to your command. You can have them teach you." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Being tired from the journey, have a rest first." Wang Shouzhe said, "Tonight, I will arrange a welcoming banquet for you. I need to return home and handle some matters first."
