Chapter 46: The Tang Family

explained Zhang Wanquan's experience over the years, although everyone was very ashamed of Na Zhu Er, but after all, people were far away in Chengde, and they couldn't find a partner if they wanted to be angry. @樂@文@小@说|

Moreover, although Zhang Wanquan has been separated from his wife and children for many years, lost a daughter, and mistakenly sent his mother to death, the parting of life and death cannot be stopped, and the regret in his heart can only be slowly made up for in the years to come. Now that his family of three is reunited, everyone is safe and sound, and his son Brother Hun has worshipped his teacher as he wished, read books, and has done quite well, he is happy in his heart, but no matter how much resentment he has, he doesn't care about it.

Seeing that he was open-minded, Mr. Qin was also happy in his heart, and after a few words of reassurance, he asked him about his future plans.

Zhang Wanquan thought about it, but bowed to Mr. Qin and Niu's elder: "It's rude to say that the villain is rude." The villain has the favor of the old man and the old lady, his wife and children are protected, and his life is safe, so he should repay it with all his might. It's just that the villain has been separated from his wife and children for many years, and he only hopes to be reunited for a long time. Although the villain is far away from his hometown, he has also accumulated a family business in Datong for a few years, with real estate, shops, and property outside the city, and he asks himself that his life is quite rich. The villain's wife has been a servant for many years, but I can't live with her, and I should let her enjoy the blessings. The villain's beloved son has gradually grown up, it is rare to read for a few years, and it is not stupid to think about it, if he can study the imperial examination seriously in the future, he will have a day to get ahead in the future, and the villain will have no regrets in this life. It's just that these words are all selfish of villains, but some of them can't stand the old man and the old lady. ”

Old Mr. Qin smiled when he heard this, and Niu Shi said beside him: "You have said this for half a day, as if our husband and wife are such unsympathetic and harsh people. Your family's Hehun brother works in our family, not as a slave, but just as hired to work, and is still a good citizen. If they want to leave, they only need to say a word, and each of them will end the contract, and it will be over. Your family used to be my granddaughter's nursing mother, and now my granddaughter is also eight years old, and there is no shortage of people around her, and it is nothing less than her. Brother Hun followed our master to study, saying that he was a scholar, but in fact he was no different from a student. Our lord has always liked Brother Hun and cleverness, and he has long said that he will let him out. It's just that he is still young, and we don't worry about him living alone outside the home, so he stays at home. Now that it's you, the father, who comes forward, as long as you treat their mother and son well and can ensure that they don't have to worry about food and clothing, you can release them a few years in advance, so what's the matter?"

Old Mr. Qin also nodded with a smile: "That's right." It's just that although Brother Hun has some foundation, the foundation is not thick enough. If you leave me, you have to be serious and worship a good teacher, and study hard for a few years before you can end up. ”

Zhang Wanquan was overjoyed, this time it was not a long time, but knelt down and kowtowed directly: "The kindness of the old gentleman and the old lady, the villain is grateful, even if he is broken, he can't repay it!"

Old Mr. Qin smiled and motioned to Hu Yong to help him up, and said, "Your wife and children have gotten along well with our family for many years, and we only hope that they can live well." As long as your family is harmonious and beautiful in the future, our husband and wife will be happy, what can we repay?"

Zhang Wanquan's tears were about to flow out.

Zhang's mother and Brother Hun have already shed tears. Mother Zhang choked up and said, "How can this be good? How can we leave the old lady......? I can't bear my sister. "When she entered the Qin family as a nurse, she had just lost her little daughter, and it happened that Sister Sang was born not long ago, and she was the same age as her daughter. Zhang's mother has taken care of Sister Sang for a long time, and she unconsciously treats her as her own daughter, and she gets along with the master and servant of the Guan family, just hoping to pull Sister Sang up, and now she is going to leave in less than a year, how can she be willing to give up?

Qin Hanzhen stepped forward to support Zhang's mother and persuaded her: "Mom doesn't have to be sad, I can't bear to be mom, but there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, you can have a family reunion and live happily ever after, and I am happy for you in my heart." How can I delay your happiness because of me? Besides, it's not true that we can't see each other again, and we can also correspond? I'll write to you, and you ask Brother Hun to read it to you and ask him to help you reply to it. Or in the future, when it is convenient, you can also bring your family to visit me, or I can come to Datong to visit you. My second uncle is still here. ”

Zhang's mother hugged Qin Hanzhen and sobbed, feeling better.

Brother Hun hesitated, and couldn't help but ask his father: "Do we have to be separated from the master and wife......?" If the lord stays in the capital for a long time, we can also do business if we go with him. Relying on the Hou Mansion, he is not afraid that the person surnamed Zhu will give his father a stump again. If the old man goes back to Mizhi, we can also go back, it is still our hometown......! Don't you want to go back and worship your grandmother?"

Zhang Wanquan hesitated: "This ......"

Old Mr. Qin smiled: "You can make your own decisions about this matter, I don't care." Datong is also good at Datong, and Sister Sang is right, Brother An is still here, and you can take care of each other, even the communication is quite convenient. Most of the time I have to live in Beijing for a long time, and if I want to return to rice fat, it will be very cheap. The countryside is leisurely, but it is not as prosperous as the big city, and each has its own benefits. ”

Zhang Wanquan thought about it, and said to his son with some guilt: "Dad is also a person with a family business in Datong, and it is not good to leave when he is idle." As for your grandmother's grave, you should go back and worship it, but you don't have to move back with your family. ”

Brother Hun was a little disappointed, and whispered: "When I was in the shop just now, I heard you talk to those businessmen, didn't you say that business is difficult? If you leave with the master, why do you need to be idle by those people?"

Zhang Wanquan was dumbfounded, Qin Hanzhen heard it with the tip of his ears, and hurriedly asked: "What is the Wen family, how is Uncle Zhang involved with the Wen family?" Mr. Qin also looked over with concern.

Zhang Wanquan smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. There is a big family surnamed Wen in this Datong City, his family was originally a merchant, and his family opened a big north and south goods store. Now that the third master of his family is in charge of the northern goods business, he can't allow the small capital in the city to buy * us small businessmen to partner with him, to put it bluntly, he wants us to give up our family business. If it's a fair deal, what if I give him the shop? I've only been open for a few years, and I have the capital in my hands, so I can still do business in a different place. But he deceived people too much, and the conditions he gave were very harsh, and the others refused to agree, so he wanted to force the leather merchants from the north not to sell to us, so that we would have nothing to sell, and sooner or later we would have to close our doors. But the business in this world is not covered by their Wen family. They still have some dignity in this Datong city, but foreign businessmen may not all buy his account. Therefore, our small shops can still be maintained, but the business is not as good as before. ”

Old Mr. Qin frowned, and Hu Yong said funny: "Although I have heard that his family is a relative of the emperor, it is just a relative of the Liao Palace. Even when the Jin Wangfu was glorious in the past, it was never so domineering, this Wen family is so thick-skinned, and they take themselves too seriously, right?"

Zhang Wanquan said: "The Wen family did not act like this in the past. His uncle was the most kind during his lifetime. It's just that now his uncle is gone, and the second master is a concubine, so he can't inherit the family business. Although this third master is younger, he is the son of the stepfamily, and in the future, all the family business of the Wen family will be his, so he will naturally be more vigorous. When he has endured hardships, he will be much more restrained. I have heard that General Ma and the prefect are a little dissatisfied with his actions, and they are trying to beat him. It's just that the Wen family is a relative of the palace, so I'm afraid that I will have a stiff relationship with him now, and his aunt will become a prince in the future, but he will not be able to get along with the two adults. ”

At this time, Jin Xiang, who had been standing in the corner and listening without interjecting, interjected: "The Wen family wants to have that day, but it is a dream. ”

One sentence attracted everyone's attention.

Hu Yong asked him, "Uncle Jin, how do you say this?"

Jin Xiang smiled: "It turns out that I have listened to it for a long time, and I haven't thought of any Wen family who is so good, I can hear you talk about Liao Wangfu, but I remember it." The eldest son of the King of Liao was born to the original concubine Tang, but he lost his biological mother when he was young. Princess Liao, who is now in charge, is his stepmother, and has two little princes, who have always regarded this eldest son as a thorn in their side. The princess of Liao had bad intentions and chose a marriage for her eldest son that was not very compatible, that is, the family surnamed Wen, but it was a merchant. I don't know how Princess Liao persuaded King Liao, although the marriage was completed, and the eldest young lady of the Liao Mansion also gave birth to the eldest son, but the position of the prince has not been decided for a long time, and I can't say when, it will be given to the little prince born to Princess Liao. Last year, the eldest son of the Liao King entered Beijing, but he sought to succeed the royal family. His original wife heard that she had died of illness, and when I left Beijing in the next year, I heard that he was discussing marriage with the daughter of the Wang family. This Wang family happens to be the maiden family of the princess of King Jin. Seeing that the prince of Jin was not the prince, the Wang family set their sights on the eldest son of the king of Liao. With the power of the Wang family, if he really marries his daughter, he will naturally hold this son-in-law firmly, where is there anything to do with the Wen family?"

Everyone was amazed. Zhang Wanquan couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this true?!"

"Nature is true. Jin Xiang said with a smile, "The eldest son of the King of Liao is not powerful in the Liao Palace, and the Wen family has never been able to control his family's power before, but he is just deceiving outsiders who don't know the inside story." But I don't know that now that his daughters are dead, and his son-in-law is about to marry another, why is his family still rampant? Isn't it crazy?"

Mr. Qin said: "This matter has nothing to do with our family, so there is no need to mention it." ”

Jin Xiang hurriedly smiled: "Yes, third master." He added, "Little Brother Zhang, this matter is not difficult to do." The Wen family still has some face in Datong, but it is empty inside. Little Brother Zhang just needs to play the name of our Chengenhou Mansion, and he naturally doesn't dare to force him. ”

Old Mr. Qin nodded, which meant permission. Jin Xiang was overjoyed, and secretly wondered in his heart, whether he wanted to take the opportunity to add an industry to the Hou Mansion? But after thinking about it, since Zhang Wanquan had a relationship with the third room, he couldn't do too much, .com so he dispelled the idea.

I thought it was a big trouble, but I didn't expect to come to the Qin family and solve it. Zhang Wanquan was pleasantly surprised. Niu said to Zhang's mother: "You go back and pack your mother and son's luggage, and move home today." If you have any words, you will come back tomorrow. It's just that the things over there in the old mansion have to be moved by yourself. ”

Zhang's mother responded with tears, but she was reluctant to give up with Qin Hanzhen. Qin Hanzhen smiled and grabbed her: "I'll accompany my mother back to pack my luggage?" but he wanted to give Zhang's mother a little private room in private.

Qin Hanzhen took Zhang's mother to go, and Brother Hun took his father to clean up his things. The main hall was much empty, and Mr. Qin was not in a very good mood, but Wu Shaoying intended to ask about the golden elephant. At this time, someone from the porter came to report: "The young master of the Wen family sent a greeting post." For a while, everyone was puzzled.

Speaking of the Wen family just now, why did the Wen family come here? Could it be that Zhang Wanquan came?

The next person sent a greeting post, and Mr. Qin opened it to take a look, but he was stunned. Seeing this, Wu Shaoying asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Mr. Qin asked the man: "Are you sure it's the Wen family's prayer post?" )
