Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 56
I stayed in the city for a longer time than usual. Before leaving the city, Wang Xiujin turned around to the store, and happened to meet the county magistrate who went to the grocery store in casual clothes to find shopkeeper Wu. Wang Xiujin hurriedly saluted, and the county magistrate happily said, " Wang Dong's family, I heard that your family has built a new house, when will you invite the housewarming banquet?"
"Go back to your lord, wait for the elder brother to take the government examination. If he passes, the hatchback will be held together." Wang Xiujin didn't even want to hold any housewarming party, but he still understands the principle of doing as the Romans do in the countryside. If you want to live in the village, what's the matter? All must be considered.
"That's the reason. I heard that the new house is very unique. I don't know if I have the honor to take a look around. After Mr. Wang returned to his hometown, I was busy with official duties, so I haven't been able to visit. I am really ashamed." The apologetic expression on his face made Wang Xiujin sigh in his heart, no wonder it is true that officials can act.
"The county magistrate is the parent of the common people. He is busy with official duties but he manages them for the people of Wu County, which is the blessing of Wu County." After Wang Xiujin finished speaking, he almost flicked his tongue. Wouldn't the ancients feel tired talking like this every day?Then he opened his mouth to invite the magistrate to sit at home when he has time, refreshments are necessary at home, and my father will talk about life with the magistrate.
The county magistrate immediately responded with a smile, and said that it is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and it is better to go around today.Wang Xiujin wondered if the county magistrate was too impatient, and he still responded with a smile on his face.The county magistrate called Lord Wang, so he couldn't leave empty-handed, so he went to the grocery store to find some rare things.When Shopkeeper Wu heard that he was going to Wang's house, he changed his mind and said with a smile that he would go with him. The county magistrate had a good relationship with Shopkeeper Wu, so naturally he would not object, so the two returned to Wangcun with Wang Xiujin.
Wang Juye brought the sales deeds of the few people he bought today, and the clerk of the shop was sitting beside him, and the servants he bought behind gathered together. Wang Juye was leaning against the clerk, with his hands tightly guarding his chest.The man was driving the bullock cart, and he glanced at Wang Juye from time to time. He thought it was interesting, but he didn't know why Wang Juye did this. It was because the owner bought a large number of people this time. Apart from the housekeeper, there were seven servants, five men and two women. Those two women are tall and strong, just like men, let alone the five men.The guy really doesn't understand what the boss thinks.
Wang Village is not far from Wu County, and they came back with an ox cart. After entering Wang Village, some people saw the people Wang Juye brought back a cart. Some people regarded themselves as elders and asked Wang Juye who was in the cart. Naturally ignoring it, the other party cursed and Wang Juye stared in anger.
Wang Juye brought people into the compound, and scared the few people who followed. The housekeeper was working for a big family in another prefecture. Because the house moved to the capital, the housekeeper was born in their family, but was tricked by another The manager's schemes were not liked by the master's family, so when he went to the capital, the master's family sent the contract of sale to the government, and the family was sent back to their hometown.The butler also has some connections with Wangcun, and the steward's mother is from Wangcun.The housekeeper's surname is Liu, and he thinks that the family in the past can be regarded as a rich family. Seeing the courtyard in front of him, Butler Liu only thinks that house is nothing, and the palace in the capital is probably the same as the house in front of him.
After several people entered the courtyard, they heard noisy voices coming from the building. Wang Juye rushed in. Although the clerk didn't care about the owner's property, he had to go in and have a look. If he could help the owner, he might become another man in the future. A shopkeeper.Butler Liu led a few people to stand in the courtyard, not daring to take another step.
When Wang Juye rushed into the house, he saw that the sixth grandmother's face was pale, while the sixth grandfather pointed at the third aunt of the fifth master's family and cursed, and there was a well-known matchmaker beside him, and the matchmaker's face was dark. relative?Before Wang Juye could figure it out, he saw my sister-in-law handing Grandpa Six a feather duster. Grandpa Six waved it at Aunt Third, and then hit the matchmaker next to Aunt Third, "If you want to talk about it, tell your man. What kind of a person is a junior who manages the affairs of the elder's family, and the fifth one teaches people like this? You have lost all face in the village, so I will let the third one get rid of you as a troublemaker."
"Uncle Six, my niece and daughter-in-law are also doing it for you..." Before the woman could say anything, she was hit again.The sixth child was ruthless, and he swung the feather duster with great force. The woman was beaten and ran, and the matchmaker yelled, "Come and see, I'm a matchmaker. You don't want to talk about getting married in the future." It's good that the matchmaker didn't say this, but when the sixth child heard this, he beat people even more vigorously.
Wang Juye didn't understand, but the clerk at the side heard it clearly, and hurriedly left the house, the clerk felt regretful.He didn't even bother to look at the host's mansion, he hurriedly told the man in the yard who was said to be the housekeeper of the host's house that he had to go back to the shop and then left.
The third daughter-in-law of the old five family was already the sixth person who brought a matchmaker to the door this day. The first two said they were matchmaking for Xiu Yun, and Mrs. Wang still listened, but after listening to the other party's conditions, Mrs. Wang confronted her. He didn't show it on the outside, but he sneered in his heart, saying what the other party's character was, why didn't he mention his family background, it's right to marry a daughter from a high family, but he also pays attention to the right family, treat her daughter as a fool, or treat her family as a stranger In the past, can you believe a few foolish words?After being dismissed by her in a few words, Mrs. Wang taught her daughter what the purpose of the matchmaker was. Wang Xiuyun, who was hiding behind and listening, even hated the person who came before.
The matchmaker for Wang Xiuyun was fine, but the few who came later...
Since he entered the door, he kept saying this and that to the yard, "It's not good if there is no one in charge of the house in this family. The daughter-in-law of the old six family stays in the yard every day and doesn't care about having children. I heard you The mother is suffering from a disease, what kind of disease is it, it is impossible to have no woman in the family, as the sixth child is now, no matter what, there must be someone to welcome, maybe there will be another man and a woman."
What she said made Wang Xiuyun's face turn pale, and she wanted to go up and tear the other party up, but she was also a junior, if she really pounced up, it might affect the family's reputation, she didn't have to think about her father, but her elder brother and younger brother couldn't Ashamed because of her, thinking of her younger brother, Wang Xiuyun smiled mockingly. These people probably don't know, except that the title deed of the main house is written in his father's name, whether it is the title deed, or the current yard, or even the city. The shop is all under the name of my younger brother.
If you want to help Wang Lao Liu take care of the little ones, ask the matchmaker to introduce people who are inextricably related to your family. If you send people into such a yard, you will be favored by the sixth uncle. It's like my own home.
When I entered the house, I first blamed Aunt Six for not teaching her daughter well, and not knowing how to serve tea when a guest came.Then he boasted about what he wanted to do to the sixth uncle, but it was a pity that they had calculated thousands of times, and they didn't calculate that after Wang Laoliu heard what he wanted, the first few could put on a good face and shock people, and the last one directly moved. Wu.Wang Laoliu was very angry. After driving away the last one, he went out with a feather duster and went straight to Lao Wu's house.
The fifth child is much older than the sixth child. The two are cousins. They used to have a normal relationship, but now they are not very close. They just walk around during the festivals. He mentioned letting the children of the family follow Wang Xiubo, but was rejected by the sixth son. Now that his daughter-in-law is a matchmaker for the elders, he wants to ask the fifth son how to teach the children. If he can't teach, he doesn't mind being an uncle. educate.
When Wang Xiujin arrived home with the county magistrate and shopkeeper Wu, his father was beating up his cousin at his cousin's house with a feather duster. There were many people around the yard, including everyone in the village who could speak.When Wang Xiujin entered the village, he heard people who used to say that he was told to go to his cousin's house quickly, "Tian Ding, go and see, your father rushed in with a feather duster, if you have something to do, go to the ancestral hall, don't hurt me." Own."
How could Wang Xiujin hire the two people who came with him? After saying a few words in a hurry, he rushed to his cousin's house. His father seldom went out, and he didn't have much contact with the villagers. He was afraid that some people in the village would come to him and say something. What, you have to make your father anxious to do this.There are many faults in the father, but there are also many good things. Whether he is an official or letting his children support the family is right or wrong. To put it in the most common way, the father is their father. He didn't do any great evil, although sometimes it made him angry, but his father didn't favor anyone, or did the best things, and even defended them externally.
For his father, Wang Xiujin had complicated feelings, but he didn't want his father to be hurt. He rushed into his cousin's house all the way. Wang Xiujin saw his father rounding his arm with a feather duster and waving it at his cousin. There were many people watching him. He said, but no one stood up to pull. Wang Xiujin guessed in his heart that his father was taking advantage of it, and even so, he couldn't fight anymore.Wang Xiujin rushed over and hugged his father's arm, "Father, County Magistrate Lin came to visit you, do you think you should go home first?" Wang Xiujin didn't know what happened, but he still persuaded his father, and said something , seems to have lowered the voice, but it can also be heard clearly by people nearby.
"Hmph!" Wang Laoliu put down his waving hands, straightened his clothes, and threw the feather duster to his youngest son, "A junior tried to meddle in the affairs of the elder's back house, and you will lose all face when it comes out to Wangcun , What's the use of keeping the spirit of disturbing the family, go to bed early."
"Uncle Six, my nephew didn't take care of my wife, so I asked her to kowtow to Uncle Six and Aunt Six." The man really didn't know what his wife had done. He went to work in the city a few days ago, and he just returned home today, before he could rest. First, the daughter-in-law came home with a bad face and asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything.After repeated questioning, the daughter-in-law said that she was going to tell a distant relative of her natal family that she would be a child to the sixth uncle.After hearing this, the man was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit him, but before he could do anything, Uncle Six rushed in first.
At this moment, Wang Xiujin finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he had blamed his father on the idea of seeking relatives. "Naxiao? You really have gained insight. When my father was the prime minister, he swore that there would be only my mother in the house in this life. For this reason, I deserve the reputation of the first emperor. Let my father accept Xiao. Is it to ruin my father's reputation? Or is it to force my father to death? , use death to thank the late emperor for his reputation?"
"Go back to your lord, wait for the elder brother to take the government examination. If he passes, the hatchback will be held together." Wang Xiujin didn't even want to hold any housewarming party, but he still understands the principle of doing as the Romans do in the countryside. If you want to live in the village, what's the matter? All must be considered.
"That's the reason. I heard that the new house is very unique. I don't know if I have the honor to take a look around.
