Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, I heard the noise of children in the village. Outside the yard, Wang Juye yelled "Uncle". Wang Xiujin, who was already in a daze, had to wash his face with cold water in order to wake up quickly.Wang Xiujin is holding a red envelope in his hand. Regardless of his young age, he is not considered a junior in the village. The little dolls running around are all his juniors, and there are even grandchildren among them.Opening the courtyard door, a row of children stood in a row, then knelt down to pay Wang Xiujin New Year's greetings, calling him uncle or grandpa. Wang Xiujin suppressed the sudden thought of "I'm old", and gave out red envelopes to the children.

The children didn't look at the red envelopes when they got them, stuffed them into their clothes, and ran into the yard.Wang Juye was the last one to go to the uncle, and he pulled the uncle and asked him to follow them to ask for red envelopes later.Wang Xiujin didn't have the slightest idea of ​​begging for red envelopes, but he couldn't resist the children pushing and pulling after begging for red envelopes, and the playful eyes of their brothers and sisters.Wang Xiujin was slightly annoyed, his face flushed, he didn't know whether it was from anger or shame.

Being carried around by a group of children begging for red envelopes, Wang Xiujin's face turned red.For the people in the village, Wang Xiujin mostly remembered what they looked like. As for the seniority, he only remembered the families he knew well. The children were born and raised in Wang Village, and they knew relatives in the village since they were young. , Calling the master is also clear.Wang Xiujin was not. Wang Juye was very serious about helping his uncle to arrange his seniority, and then found that there were very few people who could ask for red envelopes for my uncle, so he looked at him with sympathy.

At the end of the embarrassing trip to beg for red envelopes, Wang Xiujin got much less red envelopes than the other children, and most of them were contributed by the village head and his family. He believed that Wang Juye would definitely convey it when he returned home. As for how the village chief handled family affairs, he could not comment.

When he got home and put the red envelopes on the table, Wang Xiujin fell on the bed. He just wanted to catch up on sleep, but before he put the curtains down, he heard a messy sound from outside. Wang Xiujin wanted to catch up on sleep. Can only let go.Stepping out of the room, I saw a lot of people crowded in the big living room, everyone was chatting and laughing, only my father didn't look very good.The relatives who came over only acted like fathers, and even though they were joking, they dared to gossip about what was on their minds, or speak out what they wanted.In a disguised form, the sixth child avoided the tiredness of talking for his family.

On the first day of the first day of the lunar new year, the old Liu's family never lost people. Even after dinner, there were still people who came and walked around. Even if no one answered, they could talk for more than an hour.Wang Xiujin, who has been suppressing sleepiness, feels more tired than when he went to the city to sell buns during the Chinese New Year.

In the second year of junior high school, a married woman returned home. Mrs. Wang had no relatives, so this matter was naturally omitted. Years ago, papers were burned for both parents and they were buried in the grave. Today, the family decided to take a good rest.Mrs. Wang asked Sister Liu if she wanted to go back and have a look on the night of the first day of junior high school. After all, her parents were still alive. Sister Liu shook her head. When her brothers kicked her out of the house, they were in the house. She didn't even ask about the dowry, she didn't know how she was until she got married, and she asked someone with a hard life to make up for her life. Otherwise, with the family background of the other party, how could she spend a lot of money to marry a wife.Sister Liu felt cold towards her natal family, and since she sold herself as a servant to the Wang family, she was an inferior person, and even if she didn't go home, others would not be able to say anything.

The members of Sister Liu's natal family began to wait for Sister Liu's return in the early morning of the second day of junior high school, and made plans early on, what to do when she came back, but after waiting for a whole day, she didn't wait for anyone, and she didn't dare to go to Wang's house to cause trouble when she was angry , I just wanted to find a chance for Sister Liu to go out alone, stop them, and talk about it, without them, how could she have a good life today.

The Wang family thought that there would be no one coming from the family in the third grade of junior high school. They didn't want shopkeeper Wu and shopkeeper Yu to come first, and then to the stewards of the county magistrate's house, and then the magistrates, and the small officials in Xiangcheng, who gave gifts one after another.There are not many things, but there are not many things, neither does it make people feel clinging to, nor does it make people feel that they look down on the former prime minister who was placed in an official position.Wang Laoliu showed a rare smile, and after receiving the gifts, he asked his youngest son to return a copy to Jin'er in the name of the shop.He also said that these officials were quite knowledgeable, and Wang Xiujin silently followed the list of gifts written down by his elder sister, and then discussed with his mother how to return the gift.

The ancients had a lot of knowledge in giving gifts, especially to officials. Wang Xiujin didn't understand these things, so he had to ask clearly before doing it. Otherwise, it would be a good thing, but it would become a bad thing, or even annoying, so it would be unbeautiful.When Mrs. Wang was telling her youngest son what to give, she also called her daughter aside. It is unknown what kind of family her daughter will give to her in the future. It is better to learn more than to be caught blind at that time.

Those who came to the old six's house to give gifts were all in charge of the family, so naturally Wang Xiujin couldn't go in person to return the gifts. The only servant in the family was Sister Liu, and women couldn't do the gift giving, so Wang Xiujin entrusted the shopkeeper to go.If this happens every year in the future, Wang Xiujin thinks that buying land for their family to expand, and buying people back by the way, should be on the agenda.In the future, he and his eldest brother will spend more time in the city. Although the eldest sister can take care of some housework, she is not a man after all.

Many people in the village saw that someone gave gifts to Lao Liu's family in the third day of junior high school. Although it was said that all the families were busy during the New Year, they couldn't stop gossip.Some people said that Wang Xiujin's ability to set up a shop in the city must be due to his father's glory; There must be some silver in hand.Everyone in the village talked about it as if they had seen it with their own eyes. There was nothing but envy for the old Liu's family and Wang Juye who climbed up the old Liu's family.

Wang Xiujin fell in love with Wang Juye. I heard that Lao Liu taught him how to read, but the villagers envied him. They didn't dare to go up to Lao Liu's side, but many people secretly went to the other sons of the village chief. If you want to pick a problem, if you can't invite the sixth child to come out to teach, you will also have to mess up Wang Juye.

Wang Xiujin and his eldest brother talked about land expansion again, and Wang Xiubai said, "Why don't you just buy a house in the city?"

"The village is suitable for father to cultivate himself." It's not that Wang Xiujin never thought about buying a house in the city. When Dong Wang's family sold the house before, they could have bought it directly. The reason why they didn't buy it in the end was because of his father.Wang Xiujin can understand his father's sense of weightlessness from high to low, but he can't understand his father's evasive mentality of entanglement and unwillingness to face reality, and he pins his hopes on his son. Can't afford to be sick?When buying a house in the city, Wang Xiujin was afraid that his father would think something else, so he might as well stay in the village, because he didn't want to see the elders in the village, so he seldom went out.

Wang Xiubo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "My brother is right." He agreed with his brother's idea, and Wang Xiubai did not object to the matter of buying land and expanding the yard, but he still felt that it was not a good time now, and hoped that his brother could wait a little longer. wait.Wang Xiujin didn't refute, even if he bought the land now, there is no way to expand it. Although the land is not frozen, I haven't heard of anyone breaking ground to build a house in the first lunar month.

the capital.Because the eldest grandson of General Li was invited by the emperor to attend the annual banquet, many people have inquired about Li Sushan recently. Although the former emperor gave Li Sushan a decree to marry him, there was no decree. Besides, Prime Minister Wang's house was ransacked. Even if the house was not raided, the relationship between Li and Wang's family was not very good. The marriage probably would not work out. Besides, even if it did, the other party was a man. Li Sushan had to leave behind!It's not a big deal to take a concubine, marry a flat wife or something.Now, while General Li has not forgotten his bad friendship with Prime Minister Wang, it is a good time to make an appointment for marriage.

In the past, Old General Li might have thought about marrying his eldest grandson a flat wife, but now Old General Li has no idea at all.Just as Wang Xiujin thought, he was in the food business.A grain store can be supported at a young age. How big will the grain store be in more than ten years?How many more rooms will be opened, how much food will be stockpiled, and the most worrying thing for leading troops to fight is food and grass. Although the world is peaceful now, there are still hidden dangers at the border. No one knows when the next border war will start.It is true that the emperor governs the country in a proper way. The military and household departments are still two, and the relationship has not been peaceful. Last year, when he went to court for the last time, the household department also proposed to reduce military use and lay off troops to go home to work in agriculture.Besides, there was another reason, he felt that the emperor seemed to like Wang Xiujin very much.

Old General Li had ordered his son not to engage his eldest grandson in private, and he couldn't even reveal his intention to do so.Old General Li's sons all joined the army, and now they are all generals. They think straight and are very filial. The brothers are very united and there is no dispute. If it weren't for the Li family's rule of handing over military power when they return to Beijing, their family would be afraid that they would die soon. It became the emperor's thorn in the flesh.Old General Li's eldest son obeyed his father's request and did not dare to refute. Although his son was born by his wife, his father has always been raising him. , He was also cold-hearted towards his wife.After going to the daughter-in-law and telling the instructions, he went to the concubine's room.

Li Sushan didn't know what the outsiders were thinking, he was holding the military book in his hand, but his mind was flying far away, and he didn't know if Wang Xiujin had received the letter, and what kind of expression he had at that time?Will he write back?

Wang Xiujin didn't have the heart to think about Li Sushan, he was busy drawing for his elder brother what he wanted to change the house into.After Wang Xiubai listened to it, and looked at the pictures his brother drew while talking, Wang Xiubai only felt that his brother was "whimsical."
