Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 57
If it is placed in later generations, Wang Xiujin's words, in other words, will not have much effect, but in ancient times, it can scare many people.After a while, I thought it was inappropriate for the younger generation to take care of the elders' family affairs, but I also thought that the sixth family was sick and never left the yard all year round, so I was envious of the sixth family. There is a kind of gloating in this.Besides, which of the big families doesn’t have a group of wives and concubines, and the sixth child is still in his prime. Now that the family business has grown, it’s okay to raise a few more.
Now that Wang Xiujin's words came out, everyone stopped thinking.The sixth child was praised by the emperor, if they wooed the sixth child to take concubines, it would be against the emperor, then, that, wouldn't that be rebellion?Thinking of it this way, some people who had thoughts that they shouldn't have immediately broke out in a cold sweat.Those who haven't said it secretly patted their chests, and those who did say it were afraid of being remembered by Lao Liu. Just now, when they heard Wang Xiujin say that the county magistrate came to their house to visit Lao Liu, he secretly slapped himself. What.
"Tian Ding, hurry up and let your father's house go. Since there are guests at home, you can't wait." The village chief said at the right time, "Lao Liu, please go back with peace of mind and clean up a few juniors. When it doesn't work, it won't be a while." The village head stepped forward to persuade, and then looked at Wang Xiujin with a smile, "Tianding! We can't stop everyone from planting crab rice next year just because of so few incompetent guys."
As soon as the village chief said this, everyone in the village was frightened. How could they have forgotten such a big thing? They are the crab rice for the old six family. Although it is not as high as Tianding's takeaway price, it actually made them a lot of money. I have not seen many people want to repair their houses, and some people go to the village head to buy land. Get off.The sixth child's family is Tian Ding's own mother. If someone who doesn't have a good eye sends someone in, Tim Ding will not let them grow next year in order to vent his mother's anger, what should be done.
It's not that they can't plant it secretly, but even if they grow it, there is only one grain shop in the city, and there are quite a few harvesters, but they definitely don't care about the harvest. People who have eaten the sweetness, how can they put the sweetness in it again? Spit out.After trying to figure out the pros and cons, someone jumped out immediately, "Village Chief, you have to talk about this matter, how many years have you been with the fifth family, why doesn't his daughter-in-law say to find a caring one for the fifth."
Wang Xiujin really didn't want to threaten him with this matter. Seeing the village chief winking at him, Wang Xiujin was very happy in his heart. He tried hard not to let his expression freeze, so he could only put a blank face on his face, "Father, let's go home first?"
Wang Laoliu seemed not to have heard what others said, nodded to his son, and walked home with his sleeves waving.Wang Laoliu is aware of his current status, at best he can be regarded as a famous scholar, and the county magistrate's arrival may have another purpose.
Seeing Lao Liu leaving with his son, the others hurriedly tried to catch up, but they were not the ones who caused trouble!You can't let them eat melons because of a few people, but they are stopped by the people around them, "It's over now, silly, I didn't hear that the county magistrate came to visit Uncle Liu in private, and besides, Lao Liu and Tian Ding brought them Breathe out, did you hit your lung tube when you followed?" Someone with a clear mind immediately thought that this was the village chief who wanted to deal with some people in the village, but he didn't see the crab rice that the village chief mentioned just now.
The sixth child returned home with his son. The county magistrate and shopkeeper Wu had already found Wang's house. Standing outside the door, they could see a building that was higher than the high wall. The county magistrate was very surprised.The door was closed tightly, and after opening the door, there was a person shopkeeper Wu had never seen before, and shopkeeper Wu hurriedly asked, "The shopkeeper of the grocery store in the lower city is a friend of Wang Xiaogong, and today I am invited by Xiaoyou. , to go with my little friend, and if there is something else on the way, my little friend will go first and ask us to come first."
"Young master has not returned yet, and the family members are all female relatives." The one who opened the door was Butler Liu, who had just started working today.After the master left in a hurry, they were ushered into the inner hall by another young master who brought them back. When they heard that it was the hostess, they saluted immediately.The hostess was sick, so she sat on a walking chair, looked at a few of them, and then knocked a few words. The others were taken by the original servants to find their way, and he was left behind.The hostess explained the situation of the family, and the people who came and went during the New Year, the housekeeper became more and more surprised when he heard it, and only then did he know the identity of the host.After coming out of the main house, he heard the sound of knocking on the door, and came all the way to open the door. Butler Liu was thinking about which doorkeeper to arrange.Because Steward Liu was on the job on the first day, he was not familiar with the friends of the master's family, so he would not lead anyone into the hospital.
"It's a serious one. I came here before I came down. I know there is a gatekeeper on the side of the hospital. How about we go there and wait for your young master?" Shopkeeper Wu knew that Wang Xiujin had bought a housekeeper and a servant today, but he opened the door and didn't know which one it was. But from what he just said, it can be seen that this person is okay.
"You neglected the two masters." He saw the porter as soon as he entered the courtyard, but he didn't dare to think about the porter, because the porter was repaired so well that people didn't think about its use.
The last time shopkeeper Wu came, the yard hadn’t been repaired, and he just walked in and walked away. Now that he entered the door, he felt that he had seen many rare and exotic objects, and thought that he would not be easily fooled by anything. But he was so surprised, this is not an ordinary wealthy family, if it is bigger, it is... not an exaggeration.After entering the concierge, shopkeeper Wu sighed again, "The last time I came here, it was still a door frame, and there was nothing inside, so I asked Xiu Jin, what is the purpose of this place, and Xiu Jin replied, concierge. I was shocked, this house can live in a family within a courtyard in the city."
Steward Liu sent the two of them into the concierge, before he had time to take a closer look, he hurriedly found someone to make tea, and then went to report to his wife, he was afraid that he would neglect the distinguished guests because he was not familiar with them.
The county magistrate got up and looked at the small gatehouse. The gatehouse had two floors from the outside. After entering, he saw the stairs leading to the upper floor in front of the hall. Unlike ordinary wooden stairs, this staircase was more like a stone thing Made, walked up without sound.Walking up to the second floor, you can see that this place should be used for people to live in, but the styles of the upper and lower floors are different. The lower floor should be used for receiving visitors, while the upper floor is probably used for porters.
"Young Master Wang gave the second floor to the gatekeeper, and the lower floor is used to entertain the roomers." The county magistrate turned around and sat down at the table.
"That's what Xiu Jin said at the time." Shopkeeper Wu wanted to say something again. The person who opened the door for them just now brought a woman in. Shopkeeper Wu recognized the woman as Sister Liu at a glance, and held a With tea tray.
"The two masters are both women in the family, and the housekeeper just came today. I'm afraid there may be some inaccuracies in hospitality." Sister Liu has stayed in Wang's house for a long time, and Mrs. Wang intends to teach Sister Liu well. To pay for her daughter's marriage, she gave more advice to Sister Liu, and now Sister Liu is not as obedient as before.Serving refreshments to the two, Sister Liu saluted the two masters.
The two didn't wait here for a long time. After a while, they heard the door being pushed open. They looked out the door, but seeing the father and son coming in one after the other, Mr. Wang's expression remained unchanged. It seemed that Wang Xiujin's expression was not very good. Shopkeeper Ling and Wu looked at each other and smiled wryly, they really didn't come at the right time today.
The butler hurriedly walked out of the gatehouse, bowed to the host, and said that there were guests waiting in the gatehouse.The sixth son originally wanted to come over and have a chat with the guests, but then realized that the clothes on his body were really not suitable for meeting the guests, so he asked the youngest son to go over and have a chat with the guests, and then lead him to a place where he could meet the guests seriously.
Knowing the main purpose of their visit, Wang Xiujin led them to stroll around the front yard. There are not many other things in the yard, but there are many flowers and plants. It was boring, so I piled up some rocks, flowers and plants, and let the running water flow through it, which is not interesting." Wang Xiujin pointed to the two-storey pavilion on the pond, "In the future, my mother can walk normally, and the whole family can go there in midsummer. Cool down there."
"Young Master Wang is quite elegant." Turning to the front yard, it is so attractive, and the back yard is even more attractive, but unfortunately the back yard does not allow people to watch at will, which is a bit disappointing.Just like this, the county magistrate is a little jealous. The three-story high-rise building, the exquisite courtyard, and the pavilions and pavilions reveal a different style everywhere. This kind of house is probably not as good as the houses of the rich and powerful in the capital.No matter how jealous he is, he can only suppress his thoughts, he knows that the Wang family cannot be messed with.
Wang Xiujin didn't know what the county magistrate was thinking, so he led the two of them into the main building. The first floor is spacious and bright, if there is a banquet, it can accommodate more than ten tables.There are twelve pillars in the house, which are carved with twelve kinds of flowers and plants headed by plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.Originally, Wang Xiujin wanted to make a Chinese zodiac, but was stopped by Zhao Si, who said that at least two of the twelve zodiac signs are not something ordinary people can have in their homes. Blame it!At that time, Zhao Si was quite sympathetic to Wang Xiujin. His mother was ill, his father was indifferent, and his eldest brother did not even know common sense in the imperial examination.
When the county magistrate saw Wang Huanzhi, although he didn't bow down, he respectfully bowed down.After Wang Huanzhi changed into a suit of clothes, his whole body was different from before.Wang Xiujin dared not let his father talk to the county magistrate alone, for fear that his father would say something disrespectful.Wang Xiujin thought too much. It was impossible for Wang Huanzhi to talk about his ambitions with the county magistrate. He felt that the county magistrate's position was too low to be useful.
The county magistrate and shopkeeper Wu didn't stay for long. After seeing them off, Wang Xiujin went to find his mother without even changing his clothes. He was worried that his mother's mood would be affected by today's incident. words, and hurt my heart.
Mrs. Wang is not in a very good mood, not because of her favor to her husband, but because of those people who want to marry their daughters, how dare they recruit them.
Now that Wang Xiujin's words came out, everyone stopped thinking.The sixth child was praised by the emperor, if they wooed the sixth child to take concubines, it would be against the emperor, then, that, wouldn't that be rebellion?Thinking of it this way, some people who had thoughts that they shouldn't have immediately broke out in a cold sweat.Those who haven't said it secretly patted their chests, and those who did say it were afraid of being remembered by Lao Liu.
