Five days later, as soon as Wang Jiqing and his entourage stepped into the gate of the Wang's courtyard in Quanzhou, they found that there were many more servants in the house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thirteen Niang took a light step closer to Wang Ji without moving, and together with Qianyu, she held her young lady's other arm to prevent any changes.

Wang Ji silently watched Thirteen Niang's actions and nodded secretly. Yes, this girl is cautious enough. She is not worried that there will be changes in the family, these extra servants are only afraid that they are from Jiangzhou, and it seems that their grandmother has already arrived in Quanzhou.

Walking outside the main hall of the courtyard, Wang Jiqing saw that his sister-in-law Meng Shi was guarding the door in person, and there was no one around him.

"Father, sixth sister, you are finally back." Meng stepped forward and saluted his father-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, why are you staying here alone?" Wang Ji replied lightly, "Grandmother, what about them?" ”

"Today, I heard your eldest brother say that important things should be discussed at home, and your eldest brother is not worried about other people, so I will personally guard here. Your grandmother and several uncles in the next room also arrived in Quanzhou yesterday. Meng Shi glanced at the main courtyard behind him and said in a low voice, "I heard the news that you came back this morning last night, and early this morning, grandmother and they are waiting in the main hall." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." It was rare for Master Wang to have a good face for this daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly pulled Wang Ji into the main hall.

In the main hall, Mrs. Xie sat upright and looked at the others silently. In the hall, the heads of the Wang family's rooms all sat upright and did not speak, as if they were waiting for something.

With the sound of footsteps of "dong dong", Mrs. Xie sat up straight, and saw a girl in a light white brocade dress following behind her son and walking in calmly.

"Grandmother, I'm back." Wang Ji gave Mrs. Xie a big salute, and then turned to the surroundings and blessed her, "I have seen all your uncles and uncles lightly." ”

"Good boy, come here. Stand up to Grandmother. Mrs. Xie was also a little excited when she saw her granddaughter, who she hadn't seen for a few months. This granddaughter has been raised by her side since she was a child, and this is the first time she has been away from her for so long.

Wang Ji chuckled lightly and walked firmly to the side of Mrs. Xie above.

"Ahem," Second Old Lady Wang coughed lightly a few times and looked at the head, "Sister-in-law, now the patriarch and Xiaoliu are back." It's time to get started. "It turned out that the main hall was so quiet just now, and it was Mrs. Xie who insisted on waiting for Wang Jiqing and her party to come back.

"Naturally, the second brother can say whatever he wants, my wife listens." Mrs. Xie nodded, a gleam flashing in her cloudy eyes.

"Since the people in charge of our Wang family are here today, the old man will speak bluntly." The second old lady Wang stood up and looked at his head, "Little Liu, you have lost your father and mother since you were a child, and your grandmother and uncle love you a little more." Of course, the second uncle also feels very sorry for you, but you can't lose your sense of proportion because of this, relying on the love of your elders. ”

Wang Jiqing didn't expect that his second uncle would accuse himself as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What the second uncle said, I don't dare to bear it, and I don't know where I lost my proportion?"

"How can you, a boudoir woman, talk about family affairs, let alone the relocation of the family!"

"Second Uncle Ancestor, you also said that this is a family matter, since you are a member of the family, you can naturally give your opinion, how can this be regarded as a loss of proportion?" Wang Ji paused lightly, and then slowly spoke, "Could it be that the second uncle thinks that I am not from the Wang family?" ”

"Of course you are from our royal family. It's just that the relocation of the family is a big deal, and it's not something that you can decide as a little girl. Seeing this, the third old lady stopped her second brother and hurriedly said.

"Third Uncle Ancestor, lightly just made a suggestion, and did not decide on this matter. Aren't you sitting here now deliberating on this? Wang Ji chuckled.

"This ,......" The third old lady Wang was also blocked and speechless for a while, so he could only glance at his second brother. This little six is young, but he is also very sharp-toothed.

"In today's situation, the elders must look farther than lightly. The troubled times are coming, if my Wang family wants to retreat, then it is inevitable to seek a way back. I don't know why the second uncle and the third uncle don't agree to relocate? Wang Ji said slowly.

"It's not that I don't agree with the relocation, but it's not okay to relocate to the island." It's not that the two old ladies of the Wang family don't know the current form, and the Wang family should indeed prepare for the future. It's just that if you move to the island and lose tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, your two lineages will soon lose their foothold in the Wang family, so what is the difference between them and those ordinary clansmen who only live on monthly silver?

"I wonder why the two uncles think it's not okay to move to the island? Maritime trade has always been the most lucrative business for my royal family. Wang Ji pretended to be puzzled.

"Although the maritime trade makes money, we only need to go to the nearest sea country such as Fuso, or wait in Quanzhou. Now if you want the Wang family to go on a long voyage, it won't work. "Coming, the two old ladies of the Wang family glanced at each other.

"Voyage business, bypassing those middle sea countries, can earn more silver, why are the two uncles opposed." Wang Jiqing knew that today's topic was coming.

"That's because the long-distance trade simply doesn't work. Your little children are not sensible and do not know the taboos of the sea. Seeing this, the second old lady Wang got up and said, "Gently, you don't know that anyone who runs on the sea for too long will be cursed by the sea god and die of a strange disease." ”

"The two uncles, the son is silent, the strange power is confused, where is there any curse of the sea god, it is just those fishermen who spread false rumors." Wang Jiqing didn't care at all.

"Naturally, one of the stewards of my Cao gang has seen a few cursed old boatmen. Moreover, these people were in Quanzhou at this time. The second old lady Wang said, and looked at the top.

"Second Uncle Zu, I have also read some medical books since I was a child, and I have also read a lot of incurable diseases in some ancient books. Why don't you bring some of the boatmen who have been cursed with a strange disease, and let me see them. ”

"No problem." I have already seen many famous doctors, but I can't cure this strange disease at all. The six girls have only read a few medical books, and they can compare to those old doctors.

After a while, someone reported that the old shipwrights who had been cursed by the sea god were already waiting outside the door. Wang Jiqing glanced at her grandmother, it seemed that her second uncle had already prepared.

"Bring it with you." Mrs. Xie nodded.

It is said that it is an old boatman, but it is just five middle-aged men with rickety figures, and as soon as these five people entered the main gate, they bowed their heads tremblingly and knelt down.

"Heads up." The second old lady turned around and ordered. "Open your mouth for everyone to see."

The moment the five people looked up, Wang Xi looked at it lightly and quickly. All five had varying degrees of tooth loss, and signs of bruising and ulceration under the skin all over the body.

"Twenty-three men went out to sea with them, and fifteen died at sea, and three more died when they came ashore. How is it? Xiaoliu, you are familiar with medical books, see if this can be cured? The second old lady Wang had a heavy face, but she smiled in her heart.
