Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The biggest topic of conversation in Wu County in recent days is the matter of the owner of the grain shop. The owners of the two grain shops are both surnamed Wang, one is new and the other is old, and the new one is booming. many.In addition to dealing with gossip customers every day, the guys in the old store also have to think about whether the store can continue to open.

Shopkeeper Wu was pushed to the door of Dong Wang's house by Wang Xiujin, and shopkeeper Wu couldn't figure it out. Why is Wang Xiujin so big-hearted, isn't he afraid that Dong's family will turn around and grab business with him after he calms down?It is said that many friends are better than one more enemy, but "a colleague is an enemy" is not just talking casually.Shopkeeper Wu shook his head in his heart, only felt that Wang Xiujin was still too young, even if he wanted to help, shopkeeper Wu would not fall into Wang Xiujin's shadow. Too much, I hope Dong Wang's family is kind.

Wang Dong's family thanked shopkeeper Wu a thousand times. After sending shopkeeper Wu away, he prepared a big gift and went to the county yamen regardless of his health. When he came out of the yamen, he became more energetic.He prepared some small gifts and went to the merchants in Wu County who had never stopped his family’s grain shop. He thanked them a lot, and finally found a grocery store. He was not familiar with the shopkeeper Wu, but Unfamiliar people pointed out the way for him, Wang Dong's family naturally wanted to come to visit, and by the way, they asked shopkeeper Wu to help introduce Wang Xiujin.

Shopkeeper Wu thought that shopkeeper Yu was still in the grain shop, so instead of letting Wang Dong's go, he invited Wang Xiujin to come over.How could Dong Wang's family let it go? Even if the other party was a child, the other party could be regarded as helping him indirectly. How could he wait for the other party to come to the door.Shopkeeper Wu advised not to think too much, and asked the waiter to invite someone next door without waiting for Mr. Wang's family to speak again.

Wang Xiujin went to the city today to deliver some things to his elder brother, and brought some things back to his elder sister by the way. This time Wang Juye did not follow him into the city, but was left at home by him to learn how to read with his father.Wang Xiujin sincerely asked his father to teach Wang Juye what to ask and what not to ask, what to say and what not to say.Wang Laoliu did not teach in vain, and made a condition to the younger son, if the older son fails this year, Wang Xiujin will go to the next township examination.Wang Xiujin agreed without even thinking about it, and went as soon as he went, and he didn't say that he had to study hard before going.

When I went to the city to see my elder brother, Wang Xiujin didn't bring up the matter, but let my elder brother concentrate on his studies. Everything at home is fine, and the business in the shop is also going well.Wang Xiujin had made a plan to lose money for three years. In fact, the shop was not considered a loss, but it didn't make much money, but the extra income made Wang Xiujin no longer worry about running out of money.Sending the clerk in the shop to go shopping, Wang Xiujin saw the clerk from next door running to invite him, said something to shopkeeper Yu, and walked to the grocery store.

After greeting shopkeeper Wu, shopkeeper Wu immediately introduced the two of them. Wang Xiujin looked at each other, and the other looked at him too.Wang Xiujin only sighed in his heart, the person in front of him was quite shrewd, and he didn't look like someone who would be fooled by others, so why did he fall?

Wang Dongjia looked at Wang Xiujin, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that the other party looked like a scholar. He should sit in the school and learn to read. On copper stink.

After getting acquainted, Wang Dongjia also explained his reason for coming, thanked the two very solemnly, and even talked about his narrow-mindedness in the past, and wanted to suppress Wang Xiujin.Wang Xiujin waved his hand, only saying that the other party was just thinking about it, and didn't do it, and his heart was still deep.Both sides flattered each other, shopkeeper Wu secretly rolled his eyes.

Wang Dong's family wanted to invite the two of them to a restaurant for a drink, but Wang Xiujin directly refused, since he was still half a child, how could he go for a drink, so he found an excuse and left first.After walking through the door, my evaluation of Wang Dong's family was a little lower in my heart. This person can't use good or bad comments to say, he has a big negative number on his head, and he still wants to invite people to drink. After all, he has been in business for a long time. .

Wang Xiujin hid, and shopkeeper Wu also wanted to hide, but he refused after being persuaded by Dong Wang's family, so he went to the restaurant with Dong Wang's family.In fact, Wang Dong’s family still has something to ask for. Now the business is like this. He sued the brother-in-law who ran away, and he can recover as much as he can. He wants to sell other land deeds and house deeds. How much can he make up for the suppliers? How much to pay, if there is more, I will go to another country to start a small business, if there is no more, I will go back to the countryside. His wife still has a few acres of Susukida, and he will go home to farm.Wang Dong's family is looking for a clerk in the shop, since he doesn't want to continue working, he has to find a new home for the clerk earlier.When mentioning the clerk, I thought of the shopkeeper in the original shop, and couldn't help sighing, saying that I didn't know people clearly.

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head, feeling filled with emotion.It's hard to persuade Wang Dong's family about his decision, and it's not difficult to understand why Wang Dong's family wants to retire. "Is there any whereabouts?"

"Although that man is cunning, he doesn't have many possible places to go, and he is not very courageous, so he can't run far. Moreover, I have also greeted the boss of the money bank. If anyone goes to exchange bank notes, he will say hello." Wang Dongjia said After finishing, he began to thank again, "The county magistrate is a good official. After I report to the official, I will also arrange it and say that I will solve the case in the near future."

"Don't divorce your wife?" Shopkeeper Wu seemed to be planning to live with his wife after listening to Wang Dong's family.

"Hey, my wife followed me when I was poor. If I hadn't been blind and took a concubine, maybe there would be no such thing." Wang Dongjia shook his head, "I won't mention this. Brother Wu, I'll toast you again .”

When Wang Xiujin got home, he saw his mother was still in the yard, and hurriedly pushed her back to the house.The mother now goes out to bask in the sun at noon every day, and then directs her daughter to do this and that, and has to take exams, and from time to time she will teach her some things about the back house.Every time Wang Xiujin came back from the city, he would tell his mother some trivial matters. If it was gossip in the back house, Mrs. Wang would call her daughter to her side and ask her how to deal with it. At first, Wang Xiuyun was always kind-hearted. Well, being scolded by my mother is good, some things can be tolerated, but people have a bottom line, how can we just shrink back blindly.

When Wang Xiujin heard about Wang Dong's family, he told his mother about it. Wang Xiuyun blushed, and Mrs. Wang asked her daughter what she should do. Wang Xiuyun thought about it for a long time. My younger brother, but he is also a younger brother, he must have feelings, and he is in a dilemma.Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter and was so angry that she poked her on the head. "Let me ask you, is it possible that this is the first time for the two of you who live together? If you dare to do this kind of thing in the main room, then the main room probably knew about it a long time ago. Although they were locked in the inner room, if she shouted loudly , can this servant hear you?"

"But, but..." Wang Xiuyun opened her mouth, that was not her younger brother, but that woman was just a concubine...

"But what's the matter, don't forget, when you go out, you put on the surname of your husband's family, and you are from your husband's family. Your natal brother is capable, and your husband's family will look at you highly. If your natal brother is not capable, You still need help from your husband’s family, so you have to see if your natal brother is the material. If you can’t afford it, how can you help? You are so tired that you have nowhere to rely on in the end, and you will be dismissed and go home. Your brother I can take you in, but my sister-in-law can take you in?" Mrs. Wang felt a little tired after finishing a long list of words, "Think about it carefully."

At that time, Wang Xiuyun couldn't understand what her mother said, but Wang Xiujin understood that the status of women and men was different, and it was for her own good that mother taught elder sister a lesson.

After pushing his mother back to the house, Wang Xiujin brought up the matter of Dong Wang's family again. Mrs. Wang told her youngest son that he had done a good job in the matter of Dong Wang's family, and she would help her if she could. The son is only so old, although he is already the mainstay of the family, he is still a child, so how can he eat alcohol early.Thinking of her youngest son fighting against a family, Mrs. Wang's chest hurts. The flesh that fell from her body can't hurt, but her body is like this. Kick the husband out of the house.

"How is your eldest brother in the academy?" Wang Lao Liu didn't know how much money the family had, but Mrs. Wang could figure it out, but she didn't mention it to her husband. It's comfortable, how can I make Xianggong feel wronged again.

"It looks good, and it seems to get along well with the students inside. My eldest brother wanted to invite his father to give lectures to the students, but I refused." He whispered in his mother's ear, worried that his father would overhear him.Wang Xiujin felt that it was not the right time, and he was worried that his father would say something he shouldn't say when he went to the academy.

"It's fine if you refuse, let him teach in the village." Mrs. Wang nodded, "I'm tired after running for a day, go and have a rest!"

Wang Xiujin helped his mother back to the bed, closed the quilt, and left.After leaving the house, I talked to Sister Liu. The weather is getting colder and colder. It is better to let my mother go back to the house early in the afternoon.Sister Liu responded immediately, and took the initiative to talk about what happened at home today, before asking what to have for dinner.

capital palace

The prince who got the rice did not send the rice to the imperial dining room, he was afraid that the cook would spoil the rice.The rice that was brought into the palace was piled up in the small kitchen in his courtyard, and the rest that was not brought in was stored in several private residences of the prince.Since he had new rice, the prince's appetite has increased a lot compared to before.

On this day, the Son of Heaven came out of the Imperial Study Room. He originally planned to go for a walk. After walking a few steps, he remembered Prime Minister Wang for some reason, and then thought of the new food, "The food in the south should be harvested!"

"Back to the emperor, the second crop should be planted." The eunuch who followed the emperor immediately replied.

"Is there any new rice coming to Beijing?" The emperor asked, but the direction he was walking had changed. It was still the way to the harem, and it was clearly going to Xiang Fang, the prince's residence.

Several eunuchs looked at each other, is the emperor going to the prince's side?

In the prince's courtyard, the fragrance of rice wafted out. The prince would smell it every time in the courtyard. He did not expect that the rice would be so fragrant when it was steamed, and his appetite would be whetted by the smell.It's a pity that the father can only eat the steamed ones, but he can't smell the aroma, but the steamed ones taste good.The prince is still beautiful at this time, but he doesn't know that the rice he sent to the emperor has not yet entered the mouth of the emperor.
