They didn't know each other, and Wang Sheng certainly had no reason to deceive them.

He lied to them, of course, for a reason.

And this reason, speaking of which, is also very bloody.

Wang Sheng's grandfather's surname was Wang, but when his grandfather was a teenager, his family was too poor to support many children. So, he "married" the local wealthy Zhou family and became a son-in-law.

The status of the son-in-law in the family is not even comparable to that of the woman who marries in, and even the children cannot be trusted by themselves. There are too many children in the family, and one less child is not surnamed Wang, and he doesn't care, so he will let his son be a son-in-law.

However, I don't know what to say about this young man surnamed Wang who became a son-in-law. In the second year of his entry into the Zhou family, he successfully impregnated his wife and gave birth to a big fat boy.

It was originally a great happy event, but not long after, the wife of the Zhou family, who had not moved for many years, broke the news that Lao Beng was pregnant with pearls.

Moreover, the even more unfortunate news is that the next year, Mrs. Zhou also gave birth to a big fat boy.

At this moment, the son-in-law surnamed Wang and his children became embarrassed in the Zhou family.

And now the "Wang Sheng" in front of him, or Zhou Sheng, after he was born, the situation in the house has become more subtle. Several of his uncles are about the same age as him, and since he was a child, he was often bullied by them, saying that he was a wild species.

And as the Zhou family's business has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and his family background has become better and better, his position in the mansion has become more and more difficult.

He made a grand wish to change his original surname back. His bloodline was originally surnamed Wang, and his father had been surnamed Zhou for a lifetime, so he couldn't go on like this.

But after becoming a son-in-law, it is very difficult to change back to the ancestral surname. He inquired privately for a long time, and finally heard someone say that if he was admitted to the Jinshi, he would be able to re-establish the ancestral hall.

Of course, he can re-establish the tablet of the ancestor of the Wang family in this opportunity, and at the same time change his surname back to Wang.

He inquired about this matter, and it reached the ears of the Zhou family. After a vigorous farce, the last play ended with him moving out of Zhou's house.

The Zhou family cut off all his supplies, so in order to be able to last long enough, he had to resort to the method of dividing the porridge and eating.

At the same time, when he was external, he also claimed to be surnamed Wang.

"I didn't expect that in the next little scholar, who has no name and no surname, no merit and no job, there will be someone who pays so much attention, I am really flattered." Wang Sheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Yu Shang.

Yu Shang still had a smile on his face, but that smile was also cold.

"So, I guess...... Brother Tai now, I'm afraid I'm running out of ammunition, right? Yu Shang said slowly, "But I don't know, why refuse other people's help?" ”

"I don't need help." Wang Sheng said stubbornly, "There is no money for the house here, and no money for firewood...... I can live without your Excellency. ”

"But what about your ambition to open an ancestral hall and restore your ancestral surname?" Yu Shang sneered, "Could it be that you can eat porridge every day, collect firewood and burn it yourself?" ”

Wang Sheng was said to the most painful part of his heart at this moment, and his face suddenly turned pale and he was speechless.

"Of course, if you turn around and give in to the Zhou family...... With your literary talent, the Zhou family will definitely accept you again. This is also the news that Ah Qida heard, Wang Sheng's article is very good, and everyone says that he is a good material for the champion.

The Zhou family was originally proud of this and wanted this generation to produce an official.

But he didn't expect that although he grew up in the Zhou family, he had no sense of identity with the Zhou family at all because of the exclusion of his peers at home.

Instead, he was bent on restoring his ancestral surname.

Of course, this is something that the Zhou family can't tolerate, and now that the Zhou family has cut off all his financial support, it is actually the idea of trying to force him back.

It's just that Yu Shang sees that this Wang Sheng's backbone is not ordinarily hard, and he is afraid that the final outcome will not only not force him back to the Zhou family, but on the contrary, he is afraid that he would rather starve to death than go back.

Sure enough, before his words fell, he saw Wang Sheng's face flushed, and he roared: "Go back? I'd rather die! ”

"So, you just want to die?" The corners of Yu Shang's mouth showed a look of disdain, "You won't go back to the Zhou family, and you don't want to accept gifts from others...... Well, you must have starved to death. As far as I know, your grandfather had only one child from your father, and your father had only one child...... If you die, then you are pure, and no one will ever have such a struggle as you have. ”

Because they're all dead!

Wang Sheng was so excited by Yu Shang's words, and he was immediately stunned.

"So, if you still want to justify yourself and your team, take it." Yu Shang glanced at the tip of the ear standing beside him, and the tip of the ear hurriedly handed over the money bag that had been prepared a long time ago.

"This money is not given to you in vain." Yu Shang said, "Don't you know that there is a kind of businessman who specializes in lending money to scholars who are about to participate in the imperial examination? A good thing for all profits. ”

"Are you too?" Wang Shenghu looked Yu Shang up and down suspiciously for a long time, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that he had a copper smell on his body.

"I'm just a businessman." Yu Shang smiled slightly, stood up, walked out, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around, his face had returned to his usual cold appearance, and said to Wang Sheng, "I'm looking forward to your performance...... When the time comes, I will ask you for a debt, and I hope you can pay it back. ”

"If it is against the king's law and betrays the interests of the people, it will be difficult to obey." Wang Sheng's face also turned cold.

"Wait and see!" Yu Shang looked up to the sky and laughed, and walked out heroically.

Walking all the way to the middle of the courtyard, he looked up at the sky that had finally rained, and let out a long sigh of relief, "It's finally stopped...... Go and tell Lao He, hurry up and pack up, let's go. ”

Wang Sheng sent away the rest of the merchants with mixed feelings.

A businessman who borrowed money from a talented reader, he had also heard of it. These were gamblers, and every year, they would pick out the poor scholars they thought were the most promising and lend them money.

Then, when some of the lucky ones were admitted, they went to the door to ask for a loan with a high interest rate.

Because all their actions only involve money, and as long as they become officials, they will not lack money anymore. In addition, he is also willing to provide an opportunity for latecomers, so every student who is admitted to the examination is happy to repay a loan like this.

Even if it was him, there was once such a person who came to the door and asked him if he wanted to borrow money.

It's just that he doesn't think that this teenager is such a person.

Needless to say, he gave the money to himself and left, and he didn't even write an IOU.

Who is he?
