Wei Zhuo set out from Liuxing with his two children early in the morning and returned in the evening. His wife, Liu Shizheng'e, saw Wei Zhuo coming back from afar, and said happily, "I have to worry about all the big and small things at home, but you are bored in the house all day long and refuse to make a sound. Wei Zhuo was tired, and he didn't care about talking to his wife Liu, so he went into the house to take a breath and said: "You have been worrying about all the big and small things in the family for a long time, and you will be in charge of this matter in the future, and I don't need to worry about this mind, if the business is successful in the future, where will I have time to take care of it, so you have to come to these things." After Wei Zhuo finished speaking, he and his two sons gathered around a table and began to eat, and he didn't care about his wife Liu Zheng'e talking on the side.

The wife Liu Zheng'e is short and small, although she is unfortunately beautiful and temperamental, but she has a weak willow slender style. Because he has a pair of fashionable pointed feet, he can dance. A pair of slender jade hands, ten fingers like green onions, soft and elastic, flexible and free, ten fingers combined, like a spoon of melon scoop, holding water in the palm and a little water does not leak. Because Wei Zhuo helped his aunt transport medicinal herbs, he traveled back and forth between Baoqing. I usually take care of the food shop and the drugstore. I have no time to go back to Endang's hometown to visit my father, and my father is about to get sick, so I don't have time to visit. Later, once he and his wife Liu made a business, prepared some gifts, and visited his father's first group, the ancestor saw that his son had become so shrewd in a few years, and he was much better at speaking and doing things than when he was at home. At this time, Wei Zhuo was planning a business matter, and he was living a proper life. Liu Zheng'e is a virtuous husband and godson in public, and her sharp teeth are quite reasonable, and she is quite experienced in managing and negotiating. The temper personality is quite fiery. Soon after marrying Weizhuo, he took care of the family's affairs, but in fact, he has become the housekeeper. Wei Zhuo listened to his wife Liu's words. Breaking away from the shadow of his father-in-law, his personality slowly opened up for a while, and his temper was born with a hot temper, but he endured humiliation for many years without venting. In recent years, with the help of my aunt's pharmacy, he is good at keeping his family, and he is used to saving food and clothing, so his family situation has gradually improved. The pharmacy is located in the sixth room, guarding the traffic rush, people on both sides of the strait, when the festival of the neighbors in the mountains comes, they come and go to the six rooms in the shop to make a tooth sacrifice. Wealthy squires and landlords bought silk and satin fabrics, or purchased daily necessities for salt. From time to time, we gather here, wander around the friends, and save relatives and inquire about the place.

Wei Zhuo has been down to the river for five years, and he has seen the street lively, thinking about how long it has been, and seeing his sons grow up one by one, and he is a powerful assistant. All along, Lau often taught and disciplined his children. Deeply rooted in the ancestral heritage, he is a well-behaved person and works diligently. Although Wei Zhuo did not have the guts, he always had Liu's advice and advice in the future, and the two sons helped him. I was much bolder, and I discussed with my aunt and uncle about the total, and I wanted to open a butcher's table shop and sell meat for a living, but I didn't dare to open a business because of the small capital. My aunt saw that Wei Zhuo was old and had a bit of a businessman's mind. He successively taught Wei Zhuo a few words, saying: "This interlacing is like a mountain, business is business, the practice is the same, the skills are different, there is no expert slaughtering master's guidance, relying on you to go your own way, all the way to explore the way of business inside, it is not easy." Although you have to find a slaughtering master, you can point out one or two points with your fingers, see through the secrets of the industry of selling meat and slaughtering pigs, and make money for a living. "As soon as my aunt heard that Wei Zhuo planned to make a living in her heart, it was advisable to do the right way, and she would not learn the skills of crooked ways. I was overjoyed for a while, and saw that my nephew had grown, how could I not allow it, without the advice of my aunt, I opened my mouth and said: "But it is inconvenient to have two silver turnovers, and my aunt is in charge, and it is convenient for you." Wei Zhuo looked at his aunt, tears streaming down his eyes, and he choked up for a moment. Turning his head to look at his uncle again, he just smiled and agreed. Wei Zhuo put his mind at ease, turned his head and went back to his room to tell his wife about it, his wife is a smart person, and he has long had this idea on weekdays, and he is respectful to his aunt and uncle like a parent, serving tea and water, and taking care of all small things respectfully. Therefore, my aunt and uncle have long acquiesced in their eyes, as long as there is something, they are allowed to support it, and they will have long been treated like their own sons and daughters-in-law.

Early in the morning, I had breakfast. As soon as Wei Zhuo opened the shop, his aunt personally wrote a letter of recommendation to Wei Zhuo, asking Wei Zhuo to find the person in the letter, Wei Zhuo opened the letter and went to the cloud:

Brother Qingxian:

Since parting for more than two years, I have been thinking about the reunion of my brother for a long time. Just because the mountain roads are far apart, it is unfortunate to pay a visit. Today, the nephew came, and a little salute was not a tribute, in order to respect the feelings after parting.

Today's nephew came, the master of the year style, so that he did not hesitate to teach, showing a second-hand slaughtering and selling meat skills, when a lifetime benefit, will not forget the virtue of the master, every year to visit, years of courtesy, like rebirth of parents.

Foolish brother: Bi Hui, respectfully

Handwritten on March 5 of the first year

Before the pen and ink were dry, he gave it to Wei Zhuo and sandwiched it on top of some gifts. Taught Wei Zhuo the direction of the journey, and visited an old butcher on the top of the distant mountain, whose name was: Master Qingxian. My aunt has lived with him, and has run a pharmacy for decades, with countless doctors, and the name of medical skills has spread far and wide in this corner of the mountain. The old butcher had a long-term illness at first, and sought medical treatment in many ways to no avail, hoping for hopeless, and the dead horse became a live horse doctor, and came to his aunt's pharmacy. The butcher was grateful, and it was not a problem to give gifts and greetings, Qingxian was a few years older, and he came and went several times, and talked heartily several times. Usually there are contacts during the New Year's holidays, and the two talk speculatively, and they have come for a long time, as if they were brothers.

Wei Zhuo's family affairs are entrusted to his wife and two sons, and because his aunt and uncle take care of him, he can rest easy. All the way up the stream, climbing the mountain and wading through the water, it is clear that the road is narrow, the road is covered by weeds, and the branches and thorns are blocking the road. At noon, a few miles ahead, there was a tiled wooden house in the shade of a tree, a herd of chickens and dogs, and a garden full of fruit trees. When the dog heard this, he barked. Wei Zhuo stopped moving, and saw the owner of the house looking at each other, half-showing his face, looking at each other for a long time, and did not intend to reply. Wei Zhuo shouted loudly, and he wanted to meet Master Qingxian and trouble him. The child hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and he hadn't heard of the name of Master Qingxian, so he only shook his head and waved his hand. came to drive away the barking dog, and then I heard footsteps coming out of the house, and an old woman looked at the door and heard the direction of the sound. And said: "Where are the guests, sit down and drink tea and rest." Vichard entered the door, sat down on the table, and mentioned what had just happened. He politely got up and said, "Is this the home of Master Qingxian?" the old woman could hear it, and said, "Are you looking for Qingxian?" Wei Zhuo nodded in response. The old woman called for her great-grandson to come back and found her grandfather back. See the face with your own face, and do your best to measure the etiquette.

Walking dozens of steps in the orchard, I saw a person, bending down to pick up the leaves of the withered skills, and the child stepped forward and asked, "Where is grandpa, uncle?" The man turned his head and glanced at Wei Zhuo, and saw the appearance of a merchant, a green cloth coat, a white and long face, full of heaven, and a wide and round earth, and he must be a man of great wealth and nobility. Seeing that there is a gift package in the hand, it must be very valuable. So he respectfully taught each other the words: "Master, please go back to the house and rest for a while, my father is in the opposite place, and he will come back when he returns." Wei Zhuo hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Speaking of this, I must intend to personally greet the face of the master, so that I can feel at ease and fulfill the gift of filial piety." The uncle couldn't speak, so he had to go all the way back to the mountain, and nearby, he saw an old man busy cleaning up the weeds and cutting out the wild firewood needles and thorns. The uncle shouted: "Daddy, there is a distinguished guest visiting." The old man turned around and saw that Wei Zhuo was a descendant, and he didn't know each other, so he didn't know how to pay respects. Velso bowed to the letter and sent it respectfully with both hands. Seeing this, Qingxian glanced at Wei Zhuo, and sure enough, he looked good, why did he come to such a distinguished guest, and his heart was full of doubts. When I opened the letter, there was a sound on my cloud, and then I smiled on my face. Shousheng (aunt's nickname) brother has such a son and nephew, and he does not waste his life. Gu Er and his party returned, sat in the hall, added wine and served food, and talked about parting. The old man stayed in the deserted place, did not intend to ask about the slaughter, wasted friendship, and spent the rest of his life, and the idle years have been with him for the rest of his life. Talking about each other overnight, the uncle will accompany you. Holding bamboo torches, talking about slaughtering in detail, this year is too old to teach each other personally, fortunately Shoushan brother does not give up, thanks to the courtesy, not full of gratitude. Wei Zhuo heard Master Qingxian's words, and wanted to return the salute to accompany him, and there were three etiquettes, respectfully and accompanying. Qingxian explained the principle of selling meat in detail, and Wei Zhuo took notes on the paper book and asked each other one by one. Accompany each other for a few days, ask for morning and brunch tea, Master Qingxian insists on not being a master and apprentice, only a gift of friendship, such oral teaching, not teaching each other personally, all by his own brain, he learned it, and he learned it, and he didn't learn that he was just a piece of nonsense, so he insisted on not accepting it. Wei Zhuo saw the demeanor of a master and knew that his conduct was so high and moral, and he deeply admired him. A few days later, Wei Zhuo said goodbye to Master Qingxian, and said goodbye one by one, and sent each other to Changlin for a few miles. Wei Zhuo has returned, and he talks to his wife Liu and discusses the matter for a few days. Looking back on several old pig farmers in the neighborhood, it is intended to choose a traditional festival and negotiate the price with the customers. Estimating the calculations, Wei Zhuo believed in the words of Master Qingxian, and intended to estimate it accurately, and put a deposit. A few days later, the Dragon Boat Festival came, the third watch day boiled water, Wei Zhuo in Wang'en Dang, every year the pigs were slaughtered by himself, and with Qingxian's decades of teaching experience, imitated its style. Sure enough, it's the style of the house. Therefore, before dawn, everything is to be decided, and the meat is picked out. Liuxingli sells in front of the pharmacy. Because it is the Dragon Boat Festival, which family does not buy some pork to celebrate the festival. At one point, customers gather at the door. His wife, Liu, helped with the money, and Wei Zhuo cut and sold it, and the meat was sold out before noon, leaving only the bare bones. Clean up the cracks between the bones, scrape a fine piece of meat, and entrust it to my aunt and uncle. Count the coins in the evening, do a rough calculation, win a lot of money, and be busy in the morning, you have to be so generously rewarded. Seeing Master Qingxian's eyesight skills, he had to send letters by his aunt himself, and the stunt could not be easily taught.

It was night when I cooked bone broth at home and added some vegetables to eat. Families gather at the table. The dishes are so sweet that I haven't had time to taste them for a long time. At the end of the meal, the meal is full. I slept soundly at night, slept until dawn, and I didn't know that the night was short and the dream was long, and it was already the summer solstice.

Wedra had been selling meat for a few days, and business came to him like water, and he was so happy. In the past year, the savings are not small, and the wife Liu is the director of the family and takes care of the students, and the family is prosperous for a while. At this time, when the happy event comes, speaking of this, it turns out that it is a five-year election, which is equivalent to the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the work of the director needs a person who is fair and upright and can speak well. In order to serve everyone, everyone can be convinced and supportive. But it's not easy to choose a talent in the industry. Wei Zhuo is capable, upright and upright, and everyone recommends Wei Zhuo as the handler. Wezo is young and vigorous and in his prime. When you are loved by everyone, you can't afford it. He was in charge of the work every five years. This work is usually not done much, but it is only a critical time to deal with commercial disputes. Not long after he took over, he encountered a difficult dispute. The reason was that Liu's paper mill and Zhou Xianneng's paper mill fought over a mountain forest area. In order to collect evidence, Weizo looked at the mountains and forests. It turned out that the mountain forest area was a small stream, and the two did not give in to each other in order to compete for the middle of the creek, and they both competed for each other's creek area. Wei Zhuo delayed for a long time, and sighed after returning home, this should not be handled, not to mention the delay in work, and offend many people, and not get the slightest benefit. Just as he was thinking about it, the old saka of Liu's Paper Mill came and said to Wei Zhuo: "I have seen it on the spot, but I have to be judged!" Wei Zhuo raised his head and said: "Don't worry, things have to be settled until both parties are satisfied." After a pause, he said, "Go home first! ”

When Boss Liu returned home, he didn't know what kind of medicine Wei Zhuo had bought in his stomach, and he was suspicious. When the lights were propped up, Boss Liu walked around the house, not knowing what to do. Wei Zhuo is a newcomer in the business industry, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not see profit and forget righteousness, and he will bully the weak and fear the strong. I couldn't get a good way to think about it, so I had to wait in a hurry, and I didn't know what to do.

At dinner, Wei Zhuo was washing his feet, Zhou Xianneng sent someone to visit, Wei Zhuo was surprised, Zhou Xianneng was a big boss in the business industry, and he was very wealthy. Usually pampered and indulgent, he doesn't take people seriously. Today, someone was actually sent to the door, and Wei Zhuo was also worried about this matter. The person who came was Zhou Xianneng's eldest son, Wei Zhuo politely invited Zhou Gongzi to dinner, Huang Gongzi nodded and said, "Thank you." And explained the meaning straight to the point, saying: "I don't know what Boss Zhou's judgment is, we are our own family, from a big family, don't see our own life." Wei Zhuo said: "Tomorrow I will take care of myself, and there is no need to be in a hurry." Will you still lose money in front of Boss Zhou? Don't worry! Go back well, it makes sense. Seeing this, Zhou Gongzi didn't sit for a while, and went straight back.

Zhou Gongzi returned home, saw his father, and said so, Boss Zhou nodded, and was not angry. It just means that there will be a difference in the day, so wait and see!

On the morning of the second day, Wei Zhuo was waiting for the arrival of Boss Liu and Boss Zhou, and he was a little anxious in his heart, and he had to satisfy both parties with the things he handled. After sitting down, they talked about trivial matters in life, daily business expenses and other things. Boss Liu said with a smile: "Although the paper mill is not big, the expenses are not small, and the people invited are all at the level of masters." Don't tell my brother that the expenses are very big!" Wei Zhuo also smiled and said, "Big, a paper factory, more than a dozen people want to eat and drink." It's all cash expenses!" Vichard took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Is business good this year?" Boss Liu sighed and said, "It's not as good as in previous years, it's good that this year's business can keep up with expenses." There are many people who run paper mills, and the competition is naturally greater. Just as the conversation was energetic, Boss Zhou arrived, Wei Zhuo got up to salute the cigarette, Boss Zhou pushed Wei Zhuo's hand away and said, "Don't smoke, let's talk about business!" Wei Zhuo sat down and said, "Since the two families are fighting for the area of the creek between them, let's come up with evidence! Boss Zhou smiled and said, "Of course there is, take it with you." Boss Zhou took out the title deed as he spoke, and Boss Liu did not show weakness and also took out the title deed. Wei Zhuo sat upright, read the two title deeds, pointed to the words on them, and said: "Both title deeds say that the stream between the flat is broken, since this is the case, it is easy to say." The stream between the flats is horizontally divided, half of each family, and it's fine. Don't fight anymore. After Wei Zhuo finished speaking, Boss Liu said: "Every time, the Zhou family cuts down the bamboo forest in the Xiaojian creek area, and no one is left. You look angry, no. Boss Zhou said: "Which time I won't help you stay." Boss Liu was so angry that he said: "Leave something, a few can't be used, leave it." Wei Zhuo said: "The two families are polite to each other, don't hurt the harmony, Boss Zhou will notify the Liu family when he cuts the bamboo forest, the two families will communicate with each other, and make money with harmony!" Boss Zhou said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." If nothing else, I'll go first. "Wait, today we have to divide the middle lot in front of the two families so that we can manage it later. "You two will go to Stone Mountain first to build the boundary monument, and then choose a day when we will bury the boundary monument in front of you, so that there will be no quarrel in the future." At this point, both families agreed. Boss Liu got up and walked to the door to say goodbye to Wei Zhuo, and Wei Zhuo walked to the door to see him off.

By dealing with this matter, Wei Zhuo understood in his heart. I am a small boss who wants to deal with the affairs of the big boss, but I am not convincing and is looked down upon. Only by secretly making up your mind to make your family business bigger and stronger, you can also have the confidence to deal with things.

As soon as Boss Zhou came home, he nagged in his heart. Secretly calculated, this Wei Zhuo did not delineate my private mountain land obliquely. It's just that the boundary monument hasn't been decided yet, so now it's up to him to deal with it fairly and selflessly, and I have to give him a little color. I have a plan. called his son to do this, and his son Zhou Hong nodded and went out.

Besides, Wei Zhuo was busy with business all day long, and he didn't have the energy to think about Zhou Liu's family. At dusk, Vichard was about to clean up the butcher's shop and prepare to close. At this time, I saw only one person coming and shouting, "Buy meat." Wei Zhuo raised his head and saw that it was the eldest son of Zhou Xianneng's family. Wei Zhuo opened his mouth and smiled: "Zhou Gongzi, why are you here to buy meat so late?" Huang Gongzi quietly took out a package of gifts from behind his back and handed it over. When Wei Zhuo saw it, his face was full of amazement, and he said, "Why is this so? Isn't it just for that little bit of mountain and forest area, I will help you deal with it, and you don't have to spend so much money." Huang Gongzi saw Wei Zhuo, smiled and said, "Take it! This is my father's heart, you have a mental number." Seeing this, Vidra was uneasy. So he said, "I have received my heart, and the gift will be taken back for the time being." "Werso insisted on not taking it. Zhou Gongzi saw that Wei Zhuo was so stubborn, and he was indifferent if he postponed it any longer. This Wei Zhuo doesn't eat soft and hard, but it's not good to be strong. I had to take the gift and take advantage of the darkness to cover the night and walk back.

Vizo put away the butcher's shop and returned home. I was uneasy, knowing that Boss Zhou would not give up. If the mountains and forests are not justly broken, there will always be people who will make irresponsible remarks in the future. How can people feel at ease if they lose their conscience! Unexpectedly, such a paragraph made Wei Zhuo feel in trouble for a while. Thinking about it now, there is only one way to see the color and act when the wind makes the rudder, and there is no other way. Wei Zhuo calmed down, thought about it carefully, and immediately secretly made up his mind, within half a month, the boundary card had been played, and he would wait for the three parties to negotiate to see the underground realm. Boss Liu visited the door five times, meaning to end the matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause extraneous branches, which is not easy to deal with, and Boss Zhou has a big family and a big business, and he does not take such things seriously at all, Wei Zhuo has no other way, in order not to disappoint Boss Liu, let alone lose his own prestige, so he visited in person. In the evening of that day, Wei Zhuo packed up his meat dealership, hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food, rolled up a cigarette, took a deep breath, and deeply felt that this matter was in a dilemma, so he also got up and went straight to the house of the boss of Zhou Xianneng in the center of the six elements. When he met the eldest son of the Zhou family head-on, he greeted him and said, "Eldest prince Zhou, is your father at home?" Master Zhou replied: "My father happens to be not at home, if you have anything important, it doesn't hurt to tell me." Wei Zhuo looked at Master Zhou, and then said, "Your father is really not at home, you can be the master." Wei Zhuo said seriously. Zhou Dagongzi saw that Wei Zhuo had a serious face, and Zhou Dagongzi also said with a straight face: "My father is really not at home, it won't be for the matter of Boss Liu's mountain forest!" Wei Zhuo said: "For this matter, I don't know how many times I have informed your father, every time I push that there is no time, it is not easy to come in person today, and please get an accurate letter, so as to solve the good relationship between the two families." "Master Zhou saw that Wei Zhuo had a righteous and proud face, and if he didn't solve it this time, he would swear to be benevolent. Seeing this, Huang Dagongzi said: "Brother Zhou, it's not that we don't want to solve these thorny problems, it's just that now my father is not at home, and I can't make up my mind, teach me how to do it? Wei Zhuo heard the words of the eldest prince of Zhou, so he said: "Then let you go for a few days, when will your father come home, and the ward will say, then it is good to have a plan, the problem always has to be solved, and it is not a problem to hold it down, what do you say? Wei Zhuo was about to turn around and go back, and the eldest prince of Zhou raised his hand as a gift. It happened that Boss Zhou was going home by boat, so Mr. Zhou asked Wei Zhuo to stop, and he went into the house to sit down for a while, and he will definitely give you a satisfactory reply. Wei Zhuo felt relieved, so he went into the house with Mr. Zhou to rest for a while, and waited for Boss Zhou to come. Boss Zhou had just gotten off the boat, and when he saw Wei Zhuo coming, he thought that there might be no good thing, and he came specifically for Boss Liu's business. Wei Zhuo saw Boss Zhou coming, so he said: "Boss Zhou, I've been busy with business recently, and I'm fortunate to disturb you" Boss Zhou saw that Wei Zhuo was polite, and the anger in his heart didn't come out, so he replied: "But there is something, and to relax, I'm still busy!" Wei Zhuo saw that Boss Zhou was upright, maybe there was something wrong outside, and it was inconvenient to talk about it in detail, so he explained his intentions straight to the point. When Boss Zhou heard this, he said: "Tomorrow, I will go with my eldest son to deal with this matter on my behalf, and don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future." Wei Zhuo saw that Boss Zhou was not angry, and he felt aggrieved for a while, and he couldn't say it, so he just said: "That's okay, I'm sorry to bother Boss Zhou, don't leave it at that." Zhou Dagongzi sent it off, Wei Zhuo heard this, didn't look back, and walked straight back. Not to mention how to demarcate the card on the second day, although Wei Zhuo has a small temper, but his self-esteem is very strong, and he is really uncomfortable in his heart by Boss Zhou's lukewarm tone, and he will be treated one day, and his business dealings are also like Boss Zhou, so how to say it?
