Chapter 36: The Misfortune of the Children of the Wang Clan

The Wang family has long used the backyard as a workshop, and several old scholars in the county gathered together to proofread the text one by one.

Shen Mo entered the house gently, but saw Youqin Muyan bringing out tea to Wang Xiu, and stayed quietly beside Wang Xiu, his heart tightened for no reason, and his face was a little pale.

"Brother Zhizhi is here." Wang Xiu occasionally looked up and saw silence.

A silent gaze swept over Youqin Mo Yan, put on a gentle smile, and walked over and said, "It's late tonight, how is it going?" ”

"It's almost over in two days, and you must not be careless in writing." Wang Xiu looked a little tired, but he was in good spirits.

"Brother, I put the tea away, drink more, don't be too reluctant." Youqin Mo Yan didn't look at the silence, put down the tea, and was about to retreat after packing up the bamboo basket.

"Little lady with a piano, why did you leave so quickly?" Shen Mo saw that Youqin Mo Yan was leaving, so he hurriedly spoke.

Youqin Mo Yan glanced at Wang Xiu, her face was slight, but she didn't speak, but in her silent eyes, her eyes had a hint of expectation.

Wang Xiu paid all his attention to the book, this was his hope, and it was an important way for him to get out of the predicament, he couldn't tolerate the slightest sloppiness, he just smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Sister, the eldest sister is still looking for you over there, don't go quickly." ”

Youqin Mo Yanqiao's face was gloomy, full of disappointment, and he said softly: "I'll go see the eldest sister, don't worry too much." ”

Shen Mo wanted to say but didn't know how to speak, so he could only watch Youqin Mo Yan leave, and his heart really knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

"Brother Zhizhi, come and see." Wang Xiu's gentleness towards Youqin Mo Yan was a little strange, but he didn't pay special attention to it and handed over more than 20 pages of manuscripts.

Shen Mo took it and sat down to take a closer look, but he couldn't calm down for a long time, and his mind was full of Qin Moyan's aggrieved appearance, which made him feel very pitiful, and secretly blamed Wang Xiu for not understanding the customs.

Wang Xiu is also wronged enough, since he came to this world, he has faced one crisis after another, for the survival of her and her family, he must control his own destiny, at least make himself a powerful chess piece, a chess piece that can be seen by chess players, in order to survive better. What's more, it is now the seventh year of Zhenghe, and the terrifying Jurchen frenzy will sweep in eight years, and the prosperous Central Plains will be in shambles.

Every time he thinks about it, he shuddered all over his body, in fact, up to now, he doesn't have any lofty ideals, he just wants to protect his family and let them live a good life, how to protect it? Strength is not only about money, but also about political status.

Shen Mo calmed down, took a cursory look at the manuscript, returned to the manuscript with his thoughts, and said, "Okay! It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, well, I've seen two days of proofreading, and it's better to get it printed in Tokyo. ”

Wang Xiu looked at Shen Mo playfully, and said with a faint smile: "Tokyo printing is indeed better than Xiaoxiao Shangshui, but it is still the first edition of Shangshui printing for the time being. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Shen Mo was quite interested.

Wang Xiu pursed his lips and said: "The rice has to be eaten in one bite, and I am afraid that I can't cope with the elevation of the level, so let's take a look at the signs first, a small place has the benefits of a small place." ”

"Brother, you are too cautious, in my opinion, the correct views of the mind are new and elegant, it is very common to cause controversy, and it is often necessary to cause controversy in order to have huge benefits, I am afraid that Shilin's reaction will be mediocre." Shen Mo disagreed with Wang Xiu's assertion, he considered the problem from a commercial point of view, and also mixed with this understanding of Shilin.

Wang Xiu shook his head and said resolutely: "No, this is not the same as doing business, doing business is not more than several times more profitable." As the words came slowly, he stood up and said no more, but walked slowly out.

Shen Mo put down the manuscript and followed, and said, "Since my brother wants to fight, why don't you give it a go, it's not good to be a little daughter." ”

Wang Xiu's eyes were silent, and he sighed secretly, if he wants to have the capital like Shen Mo, of course he will give it a go, at least he will be a rich man. However, he has no capital, even if he is silent, the two of them hit it off at first sight, and he does not have the capital to be reckless in the battle against the water, everything must be prepared for a rainy day, there is no relative certainty, and he must not act rashly.

"Going to Tokyo to print is very beneficial to my brother, and life is a joyful fight, so why not my brother is fighting." Shen Mo smiled and was full of temptation.

Wang Xiu was unmoved, just smiled faintly, and said: "The eldest sister's business is good these days, the brother of Zhizhi mentioned Tokyo, the younger brother remembered what the eldest sister said yesterday, she wants to go to Tokyo to open a shop, I also laughed that she can do a good job in the business of commercial water, that is, she is capable, don't think about it all day long." ”

Shen Mo frowned, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister is very ambitious, and a woman dares to act." Well, now that the elder brother Qiu Yan is going to solve the exam name, once the correct theory of mind is born, it is enough for the Son of Heaven to recruit a special name, and then he and his uncle will move to Tokyo, with the eldest sister Lan Xinhui, and he is still worried that his livelihood will be small. ”

Wang Xiu smacked his lips, secretly praised Shen Mo for being so smart, in a few words, he blocked himself back through his words, drew a big picture cake for himself, and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked Brother Zhizhi yet, if it weren't for you, I would have delayed the trial." ”

"It's just a trivial matter, but the Lord Zhizhou informed the professor of state studies, which one in Shangshui County dares to push three blocks and four." smiled silently, but his tone was full of the aura of the overlord, and said: "Besides, that is also the scoundrel who caused the accident first, you are understandable to protect the little lady of Youqin, as for killing!" When the strong man sees injustice, he pulls out his sword to help, what is the matter? ”

Wang Xiu listened to the Tao, and was about to give in two sentences, but listened to "Just like Prime Minister Cai, he has deposed Zhishi several times, and Da Cai Xianggong is a scholar, if you really talk about right and wrong, the public minister is dismissed, and Da Cai Xianggong is also gone, how can there be a reason for today's father and son to be rich and noble." ”

He shook his head and smiled, noncommittal, but faintly interested in Cai Jing, and hesitated: "Brother Zhi is familiar with Cai Xianggong. ”

Shen Mo smiled, and said lightly: "If you are doing business at home, how can you not be good with the public transport of the current dynasty, but well, the public minister really can't make friends." ”

Wang Xiu nodded, since ancient times, no matter how big your family business is, even if it is rich in the world, in the era of centralized monarchy, it is impossible to compete with the imperial court, unless you enter the so-called capitalism, form a new interest class, and continue to grow to a certain extent, in order to compete with it and even manipulate the regime.

The Shen family looks at the scenery, and even Zhizhou has to give a little face in the local area, but what is Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo? Those are all cities where the top elites of the dynasty gather, and I am afraid that the Shen family will also have to tie up some real families, and there are many unsatisfactory things. Otherwise, Shen Mo would not have seen the correct theory of the mind, and immediately went south and lived in Shangshui, calling him a brother and a brother, and he was happy.

However, he is very good at the sense of silence, although this person has the snobbery of a businessman and is more ambitious, but he is a very realistic person, knowing how to advance and retreat, and understanding the importance of what is important.

"What an easy time these days! It's not easy to be a man. ”

Silent for a moment, looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, these words were unremarkable, but they touched his mind, the Shen family has developed to this day, three generations of hard work, how difficult it is, wandering in the world, in the eyes of others is the rich world, who knows that he is walking on thin ice in the big family, he can't help but sigh lightly, and said: "Those who know me, brother!" ”

Wang Xiu didn't think it was strange at all, the big family inherited for several generations, it was strange that there was no intrigue, which of those direct side branches was not ambitious, although Shen Mo was a direct descendant, but it was inevitable that he was on the cusp of the storm, and achieving real fame was the best talisman.

He smiled faintly, waiting for the silent words.

"Don't hide it from my brother, with my family affairs, it's not difficult to get a fellow jinshi, but so what?" Shen Mo smiled helplessly.

Tongjinshi, but to appease the repeated failure to pay tribute and raise the son, few people can afford it, some arrogant scholars, even give the Jinshi background feel ashamed, let alone Tongjinshi. Wang Xiu somewhat understood why Shen Mo wanted to print in Tokyo, and it seemed that the young proprietor was very eager.

Shen Mo didn't want to immediately publish it in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, so as to become famous in one fell swoop and completely stabilize his position in the family, but he knew very well that knowledge could not be taken away, and Wang Xiu was not as simple as He Laodao said.

"Brother Zhizhi, I have an idea, I wonder if you can agree?" Wang Xiu glanced at Shen Mo and seemed to have made up his mind. xh118
