Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

On the second day after the imperial decree arrived, many people sent congratulatory gifts, including officials, big households in the city, and country gentry Wenjie, who were afraid of losing this opportunity, but none of them succeeded in sending gifts, and all of them were turned away. The reason given was To win the emperor's grace, you must keep yourself clean and introspect yourself.The corners of Wang Xiujin's mouth trembled when he heard this, and he couldn't bear to look at his father's upright face, but his heart was already churning.

Now the villagers have lost everything about Wang Huanzhi's family, he thought, first Wang Xiubai had passed the government examination, and after the next year he will go to Beijing to catch the examination, at least he is a candidate.As for the sixth child, everyone thought he had no ability, so he shrank at home. Even if he had fame, he was still looked down upon by others. Who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly give him a title? It sounds scary enough.As for Wang Xiujin, needless to say, at such a young age, he has already grasped their harvest. Although they somewhat despise them because of their young age, they still dare not show it to their faces.As for the rare Wang Xiuyun, people in the village have given up their thoughts now, and they will not be able to catch up with the old six's family.

There have been a lot of horse-drawn carriages coming to Wang Village recently, and the county even specially repaired the official road.When the steward of the Li family arrived at Wangcun with a car, it was already the twelfth lunar month.Seeing the carriage again, the villagers pointed to the big house in the distance without the housekeeper asking.The housekeeper of Li's house looked at the very conspicuous building, and thinking of what Young Master Sun said, he couldn't help but admire the future Mrs. Sun even more.

Steward Liu listened to the gatekeeper's report that General Li's mansion in the capital was giving a new year gift. Butler Liu was a little strange, he couldn't decide whether to accept it or not, so he ran to ask the young master.As soon as Steward Liu explained the purpose of the visitors, Wang Huanzhi, who happened to be in Wang Xiujin's yard, immediately jumped up and hurriedly let them leave.

"Father." Wang Xiujin opened his mouth and turned to look at Steward Liu, "I'll go with you. Eldest sister has prepared the return gift list. You can get it later and let them take it back with you, so as not to save you." Let's run." No matter what the Li family is for, he still needs to use his family's power now, so he can't let the Li family's things come and take them back.

Wang Huanzhi was so annoyed at being disrespected by his youngest son that he flung his sleeves and left.

"Master, this..." Although the family is not the head of the master, but he is a servant after all, he is afraid that if the gods fight, he will suffer.

"It's nothing, I won't blame you." Wang Xiujin shook his head, his father's temper was too weird.

The butler who brought Butler Liu to see the Li Manor at the gate was the one from last year. Wang Xiujin saluted politely and took the gift list from Li Manor. He didn’t know if he didn’t read it. Mainly, there will be more courtyards and shops this year, and the Li family is quite generous.After thinking about the eldest sister's list, Wang Xiujin decided to add a few more bags of rice.

"The shop and the other courtyard were given to Young Master Xiu Jin by the Elder Master of my family." The butler of Li's House made a special explanation, and explained that the Elder Master is Li Sushan's father.

Wang Xiujin was taken aback for a moment, but then he felt that the deeds of the other courtyard and the shop were a little hot to hold.If you want to pay it back, the other party will never accept it, and it will be even more uncomfortable for him to stay.Wang Xiujin was entangled. He knew very little about the literature of gift giving by the ancients, so if he had known it earlier, he would not have accepted it.Wang Xiujin took advantage of Steward Liu's return with the gift list, so he took the opportunity to sneak to his mother's yard, wanting to ask her what she thought.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he heard his father complaining to his mother about his grievances. Wang Xiujin looked up at the sky, sighed, and then pretended to cough, "Mother, my son has something to ask for advice."

"Just come in." Mrs. Wang is much more energetic than before, and when the weather is fine, she can still walk two steps with someone helping her.

Wang Xiujin stepped into the house, and after saluting, he explained the purpose of his visit.Mrs. Wang was silent for a while, then asked her son to accept it. "Put it away first, and let's see what happens in the future. If things change, it's okay to return them. If they don't change, they will be yours sooner or later." Mrs. Wang sends New Year's gifts to the Li family every year, reminding her youngest son that he was accused of getting married. I feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't think the Li family has any good intentions." Wang Huanzhi snorted coldly, and immediately closed his mouth after getting his wife's cold stare.

Wang Xiujin pretended he didn't see anything, and since his mother let him accept it, he accepted it. As for the future, he will not care about it later. He is still more than ten years away from adulthood, so he is not in a hurry.

After seeing off the housekeeper of Li's house, the peak of New Year's ceremony was ushered in. Wang Xiuyun had already prepared the list of New Year's gifts to be returned to each family, and Butler Liu also started the itinerary of giving New Year's gifts with gifts.

Busy with the New Year's ceremony, it was the end of the year, and he gave Wang Juye a holiday, and asked him to tell the village head that after the spring of next year, his father would teach in the ancestral home, and he could go to the school to study.

After listening to the uncle's words, Wang Juye hugged Wang Xiujin and did not let go, and he wanted to continue to follow the uncle.

"You follow me, like a servant but not a servant. It will not be good for you to advance to school in the future. After you go back, talk to grandpa carefully. If you have free time, you can still come to play at home." Wang Xiujin likes Wang Juye's temperament. It's good to be around, but he knows that if Wang Juye is really allowed to follow him all the time, it's not suitable for him, Wang Juye, or both.

Wang Juye left dejectedly. When he got home, he hugged his mother and cried loudly. His mother was so sad from crying. After questioning him several times, he couldn't find anything. He could only invite the old man.After the village head asked about the situation, he fell silent.Although the village chief has never seen much of the world, he understands Wang Xiujin's intentions. If Wang Juye wants to take the imperial examination in the future, he must not follow him. benefit.Now there are some rumors in the village that the child is with Tianding every day, maybe I don’t know, but I will hear about it, and what kind of mood I will feel at that time.

"It's because I didn't think carefully. Your uncle didn't say anything. In the future, you can go to him to play anytime. When the school opens after spring, go to study!" The village head comforted his great-grandson by touching his head.

In the first month, Wang Xiujin was still very busy. When others were resting, he had already brought his servants to start the first crop of rice. It was easy to say that the second crop of rice was easy to say. Many servants had been to the field, and they had never heard of two crops of rice. , Hearing what the young master wanted to do, felt uneasy, and tried to stop it, but the young master insisted on going his own way, so they could only obey orders and exert their strength, but the two were quick-witted, thought it was feasible, and made a serious plan. The main part of season rice is the seedling raising period. If the rice seedlings are prepared before the first harvest, and after the harvest, the ground is quickly plowed, fertilized and then transplanted, it is very likely to complete the planting of two crops of rice.

Wang Xiujin reassigned jobs to these two people, and then asked Butler Liu to go to the city after the year, and then find a few servants to come back. This time, Wang Xiujin is not going to take care of the purchase, and let Butler Liu do it. These stinky fish and rotten shrimps are just for the eldest sister to practice.Wang Xiujin seized all the time to arrange the affairs at home, and even ran a few times in the city to communicate with shopkeeper Wu about ordering crab seedlings, and handed over the distribution of crab seedlings and rice seeds to the shopkeeper and housekeeper Liu. Wang Xiujin is also preparing to embark on a journey to Beijing.

The road to Beijing is not as difficult as when returning home, but it gets colder as you go north. Even though the brothers both brought cotton coats, they still feel the cold air entering their bodies. They drink ginger tea every day, but they still don’t feel hot. Fortunately, he was in good health, and he didn't catch a cold all the way into Beijing.

After finding the inn where he was staying, Wang Xiujin first went to the grocery store to meet the shopkeeper Mi, intending to drag him to find a quiet courtyard so that his elder brother could study in peace.Shopkeeper Mi handled the affairs neatly, and led the two of them to a small courtyard the next day. It was said to be a small courtyard, but it was actually a two-entry house, and it was in a bustling part of the capital, which meant to be a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.After moving into the small courtyard from the inn, Wang Xiujin remembered a very important thing. Where would he go to get the plaque when he went to Beijing?

After Wang Xiubo heard his brother's question, he was also stunned, "Where does this matter belong to?" Now they have no status at all, and their eyes are dimmed when they enter Beijing. If it wasn't for his brother's friendship with the grocery store, they would want to find It's not that easy to find a place to live. "Why don't we see if we can meet Fourth Young Master Zhao and ask him to ask?" Wang Xiujin nodded, that's all he could do.Neither of them wanted to go to the general's mansion to seek help from the Li family.

Before Wang Xiujin went to look for the shopkeeper of rice, he asked him to ask Zhao Si's residence, and Zhao Si came to the door with his body.

"Young master, there is a man who calls himself Zhao Si outside the door, visiting." The four servants who accompanied them all the way to Beijing have already had a clear division of labor.

"Please come in quickly." Wang Xiujin straightened his clothes, "Get someone to make tea, and then go buy some snacks." Because he just moved in, there was nothing in the courtyard.To entertain guests is to treat poorly.When he saw Zhao Si, Wang Xiujin immediately pleaded guilty, bluntly saying that the hospitality was not good.

"Haha, that's all I know. I brought a lot of things from home. I live here well. If you are not used to it, you can change it. I dare not say anything else for my brother. There are still several places in the house." Zhao Si After sitting down, he was happy, and then pointed to the half-grown children who came with him to sit down too.

Wang Xiujin didn't see Zhao Si's introduction, so he couldn't open his mouth. He just wondered why this man stared at him as soon as he came in, and then thought that he was probably Zhao Si's relative, and he came here just to see what kind of person he was.

"I thought that when you came to Beijing, the newly built house could be built, but I didn't expect to dig a few holes so far." Zhao Si was a little disappointed with the slowness of the project. "My younger brother has already entered Beijing, so I must stay for a few more days to help my brother with advice."

Wang Xiujin hurriedly responded, and then opened his mouth to tell the request.Zhao Si was happy after hearing this, "Come here, come here for a long time, but forgot to introduce my younger brother. This is the eldest grandson of General Li, Li Sushan. He went out to fight in the border war last year and made great contributions. He is now in the army Suspension. Whatever my brother asks, Su Shan can help."

Blinking, then blinking again, Wang Xiubo, who had been making the set at the side, stood up abruptly, looked at the people around Zhao Si, then pulled his younger brother to his side, and then turned to look at Zhao Si again, he didn't believe that Zhao Si was in the capital Would you have never heard of the absurd thing about marriage, what is the meaning of bringing people here now!
