Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

In a blink of an eye, it is autumn and winter.This year's winter was extremely cold. Wang Xiujin was so cold that he didn't want to go out when he went out several times. He would never go out unless necessary, and no one said anything.Because Mrs. Wang's body had fallen ill in the early years, Wang Xiujin would visit his mother every time he went out.Mrs. Wang knew that her son was filial, so she advised him not to come here every time. The dragon seeds were burning hot at home, and there was a lot of firewood ready at home!But Wang Xiujin is still the same, he still visits his mother whenever he goes out.

The weather in winter is cold, but there is no snow.People complain about this year's weather. If it doesn't snow, the next year's weather may not be so good.Wang Xiujin does not have the ability to observe the sky, but he respects the guesses of the peasants who have depended on the sky all their lives, and what they say is absolutely inseparable.If the weather is bad next year, the harvest will not be good, and the price of grain will definitely increase. He noticed that some grain stores have already started stockpiling grain, but he wondered if it was malicious hoarding.Wang Xiujin did not stock up on grain. The granaries in Daliang were definitely not full. There was a lot of grain in every city. Even if the harvest was not good, there was no need to worry about running out of grain. will take advantage.

Days, one day is colder than the other. On the day of the New Year, the sky suddenly snowed. Frowning, he cheerfully said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year.It snows from the first day of the first day to the third day of the third year. There are few children in the family. Li Sushan accompanied his son to build two big and two small snowmen in the yard. Wang Xiujin was reluctant to go out because of the cold weather, so he stood by the window with his daughter in his arms and looked out. , but the windows are made of colored glaze instead of more transparent glass, so the outside is not very clear.Dissatisfied, Yayou squatted in Wang Xiujin's arms, pointed outside and said, "Go, go, go."

Wang Xiujin didn't dare to take his daughter out. Both his son and daughter suffered from illnesses in the winter. His son has been practicing martial arts for many years and his health has improved a lot, but he still dare not let him stay outside for too long. call over.Li Sushan was also counting the time, and seeing that the snowmen were almost piled up, he let his son go inside to keep warm.Yachang was very obedient, when his father let him into the house, he immediately dropped the snow in his hand and ran to the house. If it wasn't for the fact that Yachang made the snowman very seriously before, he just ran away without even looking back. He doesn't like playing in the snow!

Wang Xiujin hugged his daughter and withdrew inside, not letting the cold air from the father and son rush to the daughter. While hiding, he asked the servant to change them into dry clothes.The servant had already warmed the clothes and sent them over.Li Sushan and his son quickly changed out of the cold clothes and put on warm clothes. There was a bowl of ginger soup waiting for each of them. The two drank the ginger soup in one gulp, and Yachang quickly Grab a piece of snack and send it to his mouth, suppressing the spicy taste in his mouth.

Li Sushan was not like his son, but he still drank a cup of tea.The two of them slowed down for a while, then Li Sushan ran to find his younger sister to play with. Yayou wanted to play with his elder brother a long time ago, and was hugged by his younger father all the time. After Yu got off the ground, he patted his brother's arm, seemingly dissatisfied, "Slow down."

Wang Xiujin looked at the interaction between the two brothers and sisters, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. The relationship between the brothers and sisters is good. In the future, as long as their tempers are not bad, they can always support each other. The brother is the backing of the sister, and will not let the sister be bullied, and the sister will also protect the brother. , although not as strong as his brother, he should not be underestimated. "My younger brother's family had a baby a few years ago, and seeing that it was about to be full moon, someone sent a golden lock over there."

"It's up to you." Li Sushan has no feelings for his half-brother, so naturally he won't take the initiative to care about it, and now that the family is separated, he won't pay more attention to it, and he won't think about what he will give as a gift. Just get by.

Naturally, Wang Xiujin would not give expensive things, and even a golden lock would not look too heavy.Before the little nephew's full moon, hundred days, and Zhou Zhou's gifts, they could be piled up into hills.It’s not that Wang Xiujin only cared about the Wang family, but that Wang Xiujin cared about Li Sushan’s feelings. If he gave the same things to the younger brother who had become a monk and was also a half-brother with Li Sushan, who was loved by his father since childhood, what would Li Sushan do? So, how will you feel?The golden lock was not delivered by Wang Xiujin himself, but by the housekeeper.

This year's return to Wang's house for New Year's greetings was a bit later than last year. The fifth day of the first lunar month passed. The two each carried a child, got off the carriage, and entered the yard. Yayou came down and wanted to leave by herself.Li Sushan felt that he was old and should not be held by his father. Li Sushan just patted his son, and Yachang immediately became honest, but kept looking at his father with small eyes, as if accusing his father of beating him.But Wang Xiujin didn't seem to notice that the little girl in his arms was so fidgety that she kept shaking like a gourd. Wang Xiujin was very worried that she would be unstable and threw her away.

After entering the main hall, the two younger ones were put down, and the two respectfully kowtowed to the elders to pay New Year's greetings. After receiving the red envelope, they handed it to the younger dad very obediently.Then I went to play with my aunt's little brother.This year, the old family and the children did not come back for the New Year, and Mrs. Wang still talked about it for a few days.Wang Xiujin didn't know what was going on in Fengcheng, but since brother-in-law didn't come back with the child, something must have delayed him.

After chatting with his mother, Wang Xiujin went to the study with his father. Wang Xiujin mainly wanted to ask if his brother-in-law had sent a letter. If he didn't even have a letter, he had to go and see what was going on.

"The official road from Fengcheng to the capital is under construction. Even though it hasn't snowed much since the winter in the capital, it has snowed heavily in Fengcheng, blocking the road." Mr. Wang told the eldest son He showed the letter sent by someone to his youngest son, and Wang Xiujin was relieved after reading it. "Your mother only sees you once a year because you are far away, and you only talk about it because you think about it."

Wang Xiujin nodded, he could understand, seeing each other once a year was of secondary importance, the main reason was that my mother was worried about my eldest brother floating in the sea.If the eldest brother hadn't traveled far away, mother wouldn't have talked about it like this, she couldn't say what happened to the eldest brother, so she dragged the words onto the younger generation.And he was actually very worried about his elder brother. After all, the ship was floating on the sea, and anything could happen.

I chatted with my father for a while, mainly talking about the price of goods. After the goods are graded, many merchants want to put things at high prices, so that they don’t have to be trapped by fixed prices. When it comes to handyman, it's like an iron bucket, which can't get through.As for his things, there is no need to rely on the relationship, so someone from the yamen took the initiative to come to the door and give a grade assessment, which was completed years ago.Several people who are also businessmen are quite jealous of him.

The officials who were displeased with him naturally responded. They didn't directly say what he was like, but used him to take the price of the Yamen and wanted to hold the Yamen in their hands.But no matter how clever their calculations were, the emperor only used one sentence and turned back... I promised.After hearing what the emperor said, the minister dared not speak out, so he could only retreat.Wang Xiujin didn't know this, and he was worried that something might happen because he rated his things first.

Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows, "Didn't General Li tell you when he went back?" Looking at his son, he didn't know what happened in the court. Seeing his son's doubts, Mr. Wang said the three words of the emperor against the minister, Say it again.Wang Xiujin wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and the tears he held back came out.

After returning home, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan mentioned this matter, Li Sushan seemed to be a little bit late, and then he said, "Didn't I mention it to you?"

"No." This means that he knew it earlier, Wang Xiujin looked at Li Sushan, "Father told you?" The one who knew about this must have been told by General Li, probably because of some reason, so he skipped this matter up.Li Sushan nodded, thinking about why he didn't tell Wang Xiujin. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember it. He could only conclude that he had forgotten it.

In the first month, the two children in the family celebrated their birthdays. In order to save trouble, Wang Xiujin chose a day in the middle for the two children. He cooked noodles for the two sons, laid eggs, and made a meal of their favorite food. As in previous years, invite them to come painter.Ever since her daughter was able to eat, she has been particularly fond of meat. She loves meat and smiles when she eats meat. It is a struggle to eat without meat. Wang Xiujin is very worried whether her daughter will become a child if she eats so much meat. Little fat man, you have to lose weight in the future, how easy it is for a girl to lose weight.

Wang Xiujin's worries are a little unnecessary. Yayou's little girl is lively and active. Although she is rounder, she doesn't tend to gain weight. And now Yayou has another hobby, that is, her brother stands outside and she counts for him in the house , but she counted to the end and started from the beginning.

After the first month of the lunar year, another busy year begins. Li Sushan no longer only trains new recruits, but becomes the lieutenant next to his father. Because of the limited number of battles, some people don't accept him and want to stand firm as the lieutenant. , Li Sushan has to put in a lot of energy, he is very busy every day, he leaves early and returns late, which makes Yayou wake up every day to call his father, and stay up at night, insisting on waiting for his father to come back.

The businessman who couldn't get through the price yamen set his eyes on Wang Xiujin, who seemed to be on good terms with the yamen. Wang Xiujin hid if he could, and pretended to be stupid if he couldn't.Once this thing starts, it will never end.He would sell him to the Yamen once or twice, and the number of times was too many. It is estimated that all the favorability points he had used before would be completely consumed. He is not stupid enough to do thankless things for others.

Seeing that Wang Xiujin couldn't get through here, the businessman thought of the fourth prince. Did the fourth prince have some kind of security team? They used the fourth prince's people, so they were on the same boat as the fourth prince. With the fourth prince's current status, the price Yamen should give priority to them!
