Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The news that the housekeeper of General Li’s mansion arrived in Wu County was learned by the county magistrate on the night of his visit to the Wang family, and he went to the inn where the whole group of people stayed to find him. The county magistrate has been in Wu County for more than ten years and has not been promoted. Opportunity, there is no other reason, and there is no background. Before Prime Minister Wang came back, the eunuch came to announce the decree. The county magistrate moved his mind, but was suppressed by the magistrate. Let go of your early thoughts.Hearing that the housekeeper of General Li's mansion had arrived in Wu County, the county magistrate felt that his chance had come.

What happened in Wu County didn’t seem to have much to do with the Wang family. Wang Xiujin, who was hit and couldn’t expand the land to build a house, was lying on the bed and couldn’t sleep. There was an extra person who had never met in the future to spend his life with. The shock was not Generally large.Wang Xiujin can think about it, but he is also entangled, and he also fantasizes about what that person looks like.During dinner, I heard my mother mention that it was rumored that Li’s parent, Young Master Sun, couldn’t smile when he was born. He had little expression on his face, so he was not liked by his biological mother, so he was taken by General Li to raise him.As for the obviously prejudiced words that the father said after the mother finished speaking, Wang Xiujin pretended not to see them.

A person who can't laugh and has little expression is facial paralysis. When such a person goes to the prince's side, Wang Xiujin can't imagine good or bad.I don't know if the other party's personality is the same as his appearance.Wang Xiujin kept guessing in his mind, and felt that he was bored. He had nothing to worry about, so he had time to think about how to make money in the coming year.Can the eldest brother stand out in the provincial examination?When planting in spring, can the grain yield be high? In addition to crabs, should we raise other things, like the fish farm last year, and the rice is usually more fragrant.After changing his mind, Wang Xiujin fell asleep after a while.

When the housekeeper of the Li family left, it was already the end of the year, and the year would be two days away.The New Year's goods of Lao Liu's family were prepared early, and with the addition of things from Li's house, there was no need to buy more.Before the New Year's Eve, Wang Xiuyun and Sister Liu used the materials sent by Li's family to add clothes for each of the family members. Except for Wang Laoliu who was very stubborn and refused to wear them, everyone else put on gorgeous new clothes.For this reason, Wang Laoliu was 31 years old until the first lunar month, and his face was very ugly.

At the beginning, Mrs. Wang didn't want to use materials, so Wang Xiujin persuaded his mother, if the two families' marriage was settled, then what's the point of using their family's materials? Maybe the Li family will need their family's food in the future. He is a general, and what soldiers need most is food.When Mrs. Wang thought about it, she put aside all her previous worries, she was still farsighted.Although the merchant is lower than the official, Yaoer is a grain merchant, and he may not be able to tell who will enter whose house in the future!

On New Year's Eve, Wang Laoliu's family began to prepare for the evening New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning, and every household in the village was also busy with evening food. Now fish is no longer a decoration on the New Year's Eve dinner table, and fish is cheaper than pork , Fishing experts even go to the river to catch fish, which saves money.The fish from Wang Xiujin's family was sent by the eldest grandson of the village chief to thank the sixth uncle for teaching his son to read and for Wang Xiujin's support for his son.

Wang Xiujin counted the days and set the fifth day.Hearing the specific time given by Wang Xiujin, the village chief's eldest grandson finally let go of his hanging heart. Now everyone in the village knows that Wang Xiujin is a sweet potato, and they all want to send their son over to Wang Xiujin as a follower. Before the visit of General Li's housekeeper , Some people even want to send their own daughters to be child brides.As for their family, several uncles knew that the grandfather was in charge of sending the career to Wang Xiujin, and they said that the grandfather was biased, and some people directly mentioned it to the grandfather, asking the grandfather to talk to Wu Xiujin, and bring their grandson with them. , were all rejected by the grandfather.

In the kitchen, Sister Liu is the chef and Wang Xiujin is directing. The New Year's Eve dinner is very sumptuous.Wang Xiubo accompanied his father to visit several elderly people in the village and gave some New Year gifts there.Wang Laoliu was taken care of a lot by the villagers, and he used to send a butler every year to deliver some things.Now that he is in the village, he naturally has to visit the door in person.Some old people claimed that they had been kind to Wang Laoliu, so they asked whether they could let their juniors work in Wang Xiujin's shop, and it was not a matter of hiring workers.Don't look at Wang Laoliu who is sometimes very angry, but he is very stubborn in some matters. Since he has left the great business of supporting the family to his sons, he will not speak up unless it involves the imperial examination.

At first, Wang Xiubo was worried that his father would agree to the other party's request for the sake of saving face or returning favors.My younger brother said that unless he is a very capable person who can handle things clearly, otherwise his shop will not hire people from the village to work as clerks.When Wang Xiubai heard about it for the first time, he didn't understand his younger brother's thoughts. Compared with strangers, relatives should not be more trustworthy.After his younger brother explained the pros and cons to him, Wang Xiubo came to a sudden understanding.As for Yong Wang Juye, one is that the other party is clever, and the other is that after returning to the village, the village chief did too many things for their family, so he had to stay. He will definitely send people back.

Wang Xiujin didn't know that his father and elder brother went out to give a circle of New Year gifts and solved a lot of troubles for him.Wang Xiuyun helped to bring the dishes into the house, and the dishes were arranged one by one. When the last dish was out of the pot, it was already evening, and Wang Laoliu returned with his eldest son to deliver the New Year gift.The whole family gathered around the table, and Sister Liu sat at the side table, which was full of food. Thinking about the past and now, Sister Liu was grateful to the Wang brothers in her heart, if it weren't for them She kindly took her in, she didn't know how far she would fall.

After dinner, Wang Xiujin took Sister Liu and stuffing to make dumplings, while Wang Laoliu sat beside the smiling wife. get worse.Mrs. Wang didn't care about her husband's whirling thoughts, chatting with her children about the family affairs, worrying about the marriage for the eldest son in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.Sitting beside her mother, Wang Xiuyun listened to her mother mentioning that she would find a marriage for her in advance and make an appointment. She would marry when she was old enough, and she would see her character during the few years.

Wang Xiuyun blushed when she was told by her mother, and then she shook her head and refused. Now that the family has just started to improve, if she is engaged, will she put pressure on her younger brother, or wait a little longer, "Brother is not engaged yet, how can I go first?" Over the past."

Mrs. Wang wanted to say that men and women are different, but she was afraid of putting pressure on the eldest son, "That's right, Mother wanted to keep you for a few more years, but she was afraid that staying here would cause worry."

Wang Xiuyun was embarrassed by her mother's playful eyes, so she got up and went to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could do to help.Wang Xiubai also took the opportunity to leave. After returning to the room, he heard his father talking loudly. He couldn't hear what he said, but he could feel that the tone was not very good. Wang Xiubai immediately went to his parents' room. Aggrieved, she huddled in the chair, carefully looking at her mother from time to time, but the mother still had a smile on her face.Wang Xiubai frowned slightly, did he hear wrong? "Father, do you want to play a game of chess?" Since he came in without saying anything, it seemed bad, so Wang Xiubo invited his father to play chess.

"Hmph, set the chessboard." Wang Laoliu didn't refuse, but his mood was still not very good.

In the kitchen, Wang Xiujin wrapped a red envelope for Sister Liu as a reward. How could Sister Liu accept it? Since she made marinated eggs, she has already taken a lot, so there is no way she can accept this reward. "The reward is not much, so I just made it auspicious. When the New Year comes, the rest of the family will give you a red envelope." Wang Xiujin said this. Sister Liu had just accepted the reward and touched it. It was exactly as the young master said, not much. .

When Wang Xiuyun came over, she saw Sister Liu stacking the meat. Thinking of the red envelopes made of red paper that her younger brother handed her in the morning, Wang Xiuyun took out one and gave it to Sister Liu. Sister Liu didn't refuse it now. It was a lucky red envelope. Take what you deserve.

Wang Xiujin made a lot of red envelopes, and everyone in the village knew that they had opened a shop in the city, regardless of whether they made money or not, they were considered wealthy in the eyes of the villagers, so they would naturally come to ask for red envelopes.For the parents, Wang Xiujin put copper coins in the red envelopes. As for the elder brother and elder sister, the elder sister has an income, so naturally he will not subsidize it, so as not to waste a lot of time. Naturally, he does not need to fill in the surplus.

Wang Xiujin prepared according to the northern custom, but they live in the south, and the southerners eat rice cakes during the big celebration. Luckily, Sister Liu made the preparations earlier. After making the dumplings, she also fried the rice cakes up.

The New Year's Eve, which combines the customs of the north and the south, is the most comfortable "year" they have lived since they left Beijing.Wang Laoliu didn't know if he turned his anger into an appetite, and he didn't eat less of the big dumplings. As for the rice cakes prepared by Sister Liu, the whole family was used to the dumplings in the north, so they just thought about the rice cakes, and they ate less and left more.

After the big dumplings, Wang Laoliu and his wife went to bed. After dawn, there must be many visitors at home, so they need to get up early.The two brothers originally planned to keep watch until dawn, but after returning to the room for a while, they couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call and fell asleep.

In ancient times, there were very few families who set off whips, and there were none in the village. Everyone thought that the old six families who had made money would set off whips, but they didn't want to be as quiet as other families.The village is quiet, but Wu County is bustling with activity.Wang Xiujin bought a whip, but he didn't intend to attract attention in the village, so he asked Yu, the shopkeeper who lived in the city, to set off a whip in front of the shop door as a good omen.

The banquet in the capital was even more lively. The emperor hosted a banquet for his officials, and the prince sat beside him. The person who used to sit at the head of the princes changed this year. The courtiers secretly guessed, did the emperor intend to establish a prince?Seeing the eldest grandson talking with General Li again, he had plans in his mind.However, General Li really won the Sacred Heart. Anyone can participate in the annual banquet in the palace, at least their descendants... no.
