Chapter 386: Zhang Yongan's Family Affairs

The officials were gone, and the gentlemen and students rested for another day, and then they all left early the next morning.

They didn't eat and live in vain in the past few days, and when they went back, they wrote a lot of articles about the reeds. With that good writing, the article was circulated by the students, and the reeds were also spread among students from all over the world, and then students from all over the world came to the reeds to travel from afar through academic discussions and poetry societies. Of course, at this time, there is a charge for food and accommodation.

Curator Shi took the others to go first, Xiaohu and his wife, Xiaolong and the second uncle and their family, stayed at the end, and explained and trained some of the charging standards and service models of the official business in the future, and saw that they could all be on the right track, so they left the reeds and set off for Puzhen.

Xiaolong is still early and in no hurry, but the premise is to be prepared. Erya and Xiaohu were busy packing up the things they wanted to take away, and Xiaolong was looking for books in the Fucheng library about the county chronicles of several generations of history in the western region, the long-term geomorphological conditions, the humanistic ethics of the past dynasties, customs and habits, and so on. Because of Wang Tongzhi's help, he found a lot of relevant books that he wanted to know.

Xiaolong held the book and didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and Erya and Xiaohu were so busy that their feet didn't get dusty. First of all, check the tribute tea made by Cai Baocheng, drink it, and make sure that there is no problem before handing it over to the government. In recent years, there have been tribute teas such as Mao Feng, Longjing, Biluochun, etc., although Erya and Chen's shopkeeper have been providing tea for the palace, but the amount that needs to be offered has been basically fixed within fifty catties.

Some people don't understand the tribute, and they will think that the more offerings the better. This is not the case. Desperately becoming a tribute is just to get a reputation and ask for protection. The things that are really supplied to the royal family do not cost money. If the emperor is happy, he will give a little other reward, but this reward is if he meets an official with good official character. He will hand it over to you as it is, and if you meet a bad official, then you will consider yourself unlucky, and don't even mention it. Otherwise, from top to bottom, you will think that your eyelids are too shallow, and you care about this idea.

Because last year, Chen's shopkeeper came out with a new variety of tribute tea, and with the two kinds of tribute tea from his family, the tribute tea of Erya's family only needs to be twenty or thirty catties. This was assigned by the new prefect. This newly appointed prefect will win people's hearts than the original Qin prefect. He knew that the Wang family was already vaguely the richest man in the surrounding state capitals, so he took care of the Wang family everywhere. I don't know if he is kind or ill-intentioned, but she doesn't like it. She likes to talk to the government in a straightforward way of doing things. Too much privilege is the easiest to hate! But it takes a lot of brains to push the prefect's kindness, and Er Ya often has a headache for this. When they left this time, the uncle, the second uncle, the grandfather, the curator Shi, the chief housekeeper, and the chief manager Liao had to explain clearly, and they could not exercise the privileges given by the prefect. so as not to give suspicion of collusion between officials and businessmen.

Sent away the tribute tea. The things to deal with below are much simpler, family affairs have Shi Jingxuan; There are Feng Liangshan and various team leaders and stewards in agricultural affairs; In business, there are Liao Chengzhi, Wu Fenggang, etc.; The ocean business has Zhao Fujin; Finance has Zhang Yongan and his subordinates; The tea garden has Cai Baocheng with a manpower supervisor; Cement is supervised by Zhou Lixin and Cui Mingming; The water mill is managed by the second uncle Feng Dazhu; The factory is under the overall management of each factory director and workshop director; The car dealership and craftsmen were in charge of Mr. Jin, and some children who were later promoted to major positions were supervised in the back, so Er Ya basically didn't have to worry about anything. And she and Xiaohu can both ride horses, and they can run back and forth in the middle when there is something special.

By the time Erya and Xiaohu packed up their things, they had already filled eleven carriages, and there were no big ones! Fortunately, there was a car dealer at home, and the carriage was all at their disposal. Erya is also going to bring at least a hundred carts of grain over, and that one more trip will be asked to ask General Qin to help transport military rations.

On the eve of the second Ya they were leaving. Zhang Yongan, who was entrusted with important tasks by the second girl in the town, had something bad happening, and heard that his father, who had gone out to be a soldier, came over. He wanted to sue Zhang Yongan's mother for abducting his son and leaving home for several years without returning.

Zhang Yongan's mother was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. However, the second girl who got the news didn't care at all, the ancients were afraid of seeing officials, but she was not afraid. It's not that she holds herself and her current family situation is different, it's true that she has gone through too many things in a society ruled by law that the people have sued the officials, and it is not enough to see the disputes between the people like this in front of the officials. There is also the fact that Zhang Yongan's mother did not remarry, but did not return for several years. In addition, Zhang Yongan's surname has not changed, his identity has not changed, and he is still a good citizen. The abduction of the Zhang family's heirs that they sued was not established at all, if it weren't for the crime of mistreating children here, Erya would still want to accuse them of this crime!

However, saying that, she didn't let it go, and although she was very busy, she still found time to go to the town and ask what was going on in detail.

This matter has to start when Zhang Yongan was taken to the county seat by his mother to seek medical treatment: at that time, Zhang's begging family was fruitless, so he ran to the county town with his son in his arms and sold himself in order to save his son. Later, he was instructed to come to Wang's house in Hepu Town, and did not go back. Because the Zhang family didn't pay attention to their mother and son, in their eyes, they were a master who could only eat and not work, so no one went to find the mother and son.

Zhang Yongan's grandmother's family went to Zhang's house to make trouble, asking them to compensate his daughter, but because someone confirmed that they did see Zhang Yongan's mother carrying the child to the county seat and did not come back, they finally gave up. Whenever someone asks about the Zhang family, Zhang Yongan's mother and son, the Zhang family is a sentence: "Who knows where the lazy woman ran away with the child!" ”

This situation was finally broken six years later, when Zhang Yongan's father returned from 10 years of military service.

"Mother! What about my daughter-in-law and son? When he got home for a long time, he couldn't see his daughter-in-law and son who should have greeted him happily, Zhang Yongan's father Zhang Shiaxe finally couldn't bear the irritability in his heart and asked.

Everyone in the Zhang family was worried that the second child was going to ask what to do with the mother and son? At this time, the second child really asked, they didn't dare to say that the child's hand was burned by his eldest uncle, but only said that the child's mother took the child to the county seat and did not come back. The child's hand burned and the people in the Zhuangzi knew little, so this Zhang Shiaxe thought that Zhang Yongan's mother couldn't keep it under the misguidance of his family, and ran away with the child.

The daughter-in-law ran away with her son, and his father and mother didn't care, so he naturally wanted to find it. Since he returned, he has been doing odd jobs in the county seat while inquiring and searching. Because he never mentioned the key point - that is, the child's right hand was burned so much, so even if he had asked some people who had seen Zhang Yongan's mother and son, people would not have thought that they were asking Zhang Yongan's mother and son. So I have been looking for this axe for several years and there is no news. This time, Zhang Shiaxe was able to get the news of his son, which was a coincidence.

As soon as Zhang Yongan's studies ended, he was appointed to the position of financial director by the owner. As the chief financial officer, he does not just sit at home and settle accounts, but has to go to various properties to audit and record accounts on behalf of the owner every quarter, and bring the original account books of the current quarter back to the headquarters.

Although the matter of checking accounts on behalf of the owner is very trusted, there will be no less precautions, and there will be at least two people to accompany them every time. This is to prevent the stewards from temporarily wanting to bribe or colluding with the auditors to make false accounts.

The Wang family did not have much industry in the local county, that is, the hot pot restaurant later added a barbecue restaurant. Three people checked the accounts of two stores, and it was only one quarter, so they could get it all done in two hours. Normally, they would go back to town as soon as they checked their accounts. At the end of last year, Zhang Yongan and his two followers did not leave immediately after checking the accounts, and he went to the jewelry store to buy a few pieces of suitable jewelry for the girl who had just decided to marry him as a dowry gift. It was because of this trip that the neighbors of his original village saw it, and immediately ran to Zhang Shiaxe and shouted excitedly: "Old axe! I see your son today! Good boy! Your son has a chance! I've heard people say that the carriage is in the thousands. I saw him enter the shop that sold gold and silver jewelry, so I followed him in to have a look, but I didn't expect him to buy more than 200 taels of silver jewelry at once, my mother! What a reluctance! Tsk"

The man was doing different gestures as he spoke, shaking his head and smashing his mouth.

Zhang Shiaxe was very excited when he heard it, and he calmed down after listening to it. He asked, "How do you know that man is my son?" ”

"Hey! What can't be seen, your son and I watched him grow up to four years old, even if he has grown up and changed a lot now, but he and your daughter-in-law are almost carved out of the same mold, and there is nothing to recognize. I recognized it as your son at a glance, and there was no mistake about it! ”

When Zhang Shiaxe heard him say this, his heart became active. I didn't expect that son to have a chance, no wonder I haven't found it after looking for so many years! It can't be that his mother took him to find a rich family to marry another.

Zhang Shiaxe's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law also heard about it, but they always didn't believe it. Especially his sister-in-law! What his sister-in-law thought was, if there was really a chance, how could she not come to her to avenge the burning of her hand? But she didn't dare to say this to her second brother, so she blindly blocked the second brother from verifying: "Second brother! Don't listen to the old bald man next door blowing nonsense to you. Where did their orphans and widows get so much money? I heard that even the county lord didn't have that carriage to sit in! What does your son have to make that kind of carriage? If you really have that ability, you can't be so famous, and you can't find it for so long? I don't think you need to bother with that. ”

The old man and the old lady also thought the same, but they didn't think it was possible, and as for the others, they didn't think as much as the eldest daughter-in-law thought. (To be continued......)
