Luo Dong was one of the first reporters of the Ming Morning Post, and after Liu Jin trained the reporters, editors, and editors-in-chief of the Ming Morning Post for more than ten days, he began to let these reporters go to various places to collect news materials, which was the first test for them.

Not everyone is suitable to be a journalist, and although Liu Jin has trained them for more than ten days, whether they can collect useful news materials depends on their practice.

Luo Dong used to work in the First Bank of Daming, because he studied more seriously, read and hyphenation more effectively, and was more clever, so he was also recommended and became the first batch of news reporters of the Ming Morning Post.

"Collect news materials~"

At this time, Luo Dong is worried about this matter, although the scope of news materials is very wide, from national events to some small things that can be regarded as news materials, but since Liu Jin has set up this test, ordinary news materials must have no way to make a difference.

What's more, everyone is on the same starting line at this time, if you want to stand out here in the Ming Morning Post, if you want Liu Jin to notice you, and if you want to have a bright future, you must come up with satisfactory news materials.

So unlike other people, Luo Dongbing didn't rush around in a hurry, but began to think carefully and figure out what kind of news materials can make people like, and the most important thing is to let Liu Jin and Liu Gongzi like and notice themselves.

"This must be a major national event, but there are special people here in the Ming Morning Post to collect these official information and reports, and it is a waste of time to go by yourself."

"The trivial things of ordinary people have no value, and they are really hard to find."

Originally, Luo Dong thought that this news reporter was a beautiful person, he didn't have anything to do every day, and he ran around collecting news materials at public expense, and his life was still okay.

But when he really had to collect news materials, he realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.

"What kind of things are valuable, and they can make Liu Gongzi look at them?"

Luo Dong thought carefully, frowned, and walked aimlessly through the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Daming First Bank?"

Walking, walking, he came to the place where he went to work and worked not long ago, the business here of the First Bank of Daming is very busy, the carriages come and go, and the wealth in and out.

"That's right, I can collect some news materials related to Daming First Bank, this someone has made money with a loan, and I can promote Daming First Bank by writing casually."

"No, no, Daming First Bank is not short of loans, what it lacks is deposits, if you can write about things related to deposits and publicize the benefits of deposits in Damin First Bank, this will definitely satisfy Liu Gongzi."

Thinking of this, Luo Dong's eyes lit up.

Soon, he acted quickly, the deposit business here in the first bank of Daming is very small, in the past few months, the customers who have deposited can be counted, and the one he remembers most clearly is, of course, the old man Wang Shirui.

Wang Shirui is also a very famous person in the capital, he used to be a big businessman, and he saved a huge family business by doing business, known as 10,000 acres of fertile land and thousands of family fortunes.

Luo Dong easily found the palace of the old man Wang Shirui here in the capital.

"Huh?"

"I shouldn't be wrong, this should be Wang Shirui's palace, why did the plaque here change and become Zhang's mansion?"

It's just that when Luo Dong came to the palace, the whole person was dumbfounded, because the plaque of the palace in front of him was not the plaque of the palace, but the plaque of the Zhang mansion.

"Knock~Knock~"

After thinking about it, Luo Dong still stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a person who looked like a family member came out.

"Who are you? Who to look for? ”

The family looked at Luo Dong carefully, and saw that Luo Dong was dressed quite well, and he was dressed like a scholar, so he thought about it and asked.

"This little brother, if I'm not mistaken, this place used to be Wang Shirui's palace, why did it change the master's house?"

Luo Dong said with a smile on his face.

"Wang Shirui died a few months ago, his son lost all his property in gambling, and this mansion was sold last month."

"I used to be the head of the palace, so you also asked the right person, you came to the palace to ask for debts, right?"

Jia Ding looked at Luo Dong, thought about it and said.

"It's not, I mainly wanted to come over to visit Mr. Wang Shirui, but I didn't expect him to leave in just a few months."

Luo Dong shook his head and said with some emotion.

"Yes, the world is unpredictable, the old man was actually angry to death by his unfilial son, his son eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles every day, and accepts the sister of Qinglou as a concubine, the old man doesn't need it, he quarrels directly, and the old man is angry to death at once."

The family also nodded, the old man Wang Shirui used to be very good to them, and he also thought about the old man's goodness.

"Little brother, do you know where his family has gone?"

Luo Dong couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thought about it and asked again, I can't interview Mr. Wang Shirui, but I can interview his family and his son.

"The family road is defeated, the family is scattered, and I don't know about the others, his son should be in the gambling house, Qinglou or something like this in the capital, you can go to these places to look for it, you will definitely be able to find it."

Jia Ding thought for a while and said.

"Okay, thank you, little brother~"

Luo Dong smiled and expressed his gratitude, and hurriedly followed the guidance of the little brother to start a green building and a casino to find Wang Enyi, the son of Wang Shirui's old man, and prepare to interview this loser.

It's just that Luo Dong has searched almost all the Qinglou and gambling houses in the entire capital, and he has not found Wang Enyi, everyone has found Wang Enyi, a loser, but they all bluntly said that Wang Enyi has lost all his family wealth in gambling, and now no one is willing to entertain him at all.

"The last casino~"

Luo Dong followed the guidance of an acquaintance to a newly opened casino located outside the capital, and before he entered the casino, he saw a person who stumbled out of the casino.

The person who was pushed out was wearing tattered clothes, his hair was very messy, and his steps were floating.

Then several fierce-looking people came out, and at a glance they knew that they were casino thugs or something.

"Prince Wang, don't come in if you don't have money, so as not to embarrass everyone."

The leader looked at the person who fell to the ground coldly, and said very coldly.

"Who said that Lao Tzu has no money, my father saved 300,000 silver dollars in the first bank of Daming before he died, I will have no money?"

"It's more than enough to buy your casino, get out of the way, let the master go in and have a good time, and a few of you will be rewarded."

Wang Enyi stood up slowly, patted the soil on his body gently, and said very generously.

"Hehe~"

"Wang Gongzi, don't brag, if your old man had deposited 300,000 silver dollars in the First Bank of Daming, you would have taken it out and lost it all, and you would still be down here?"

"Look at it, you even took off your clothes, and what did you say about 300,000 taels of silver, you lied to the ghost?"

The casino steward at the head smiled coldly.

He knows too well that this Wang Enyi prince in front of him, since his father died, he has intensified his efforts in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and in just a few months, he has lost the huge family business left by the old man.

Of course, there must be someone deliberately setting up a game against him, in fact, in the past few months, Wang Enyi is synonymous with the fat sheep, and the casinos are full of enthusiasm when they see him, carefully served, and tried their best to keep it.

But now it's different from the past, Wang Enyi lost even the underwear, everywhere on credit, owed money, at first everyone still believed that his father deposited 300,000 taels of silver for him in the first bank of Daming, but after a long time, Wang Enyi never took out the 300,000 taels of silver, everyone was naturally not happy to receive him, and he was disgusted when he saw him, and even the casino did not let him in.

"Scar?"

"I'm going to lie to you, and you don't look at what you are, I need to lie to you about running away?"

Wang Enyi shook his messy hair, although he was down, but this momentum was still there, looking at the scar in front of him, when he came by himself before, he nodded and greeted him with a smile, and he didn't even bother to look at him before.

"My scar is really not a thing, it doesn't matter if you lie to me or not, the important thing is that if you want to go in, you have to take out the silver, and if you don't have the silver, you don't want to enter this door."

The person who is called the scar, with a scar on his face, looks quite scary, he looked at Wang Enyi coldly, and he was not angry when Wang Enyi said this.

Compared with this Wang Gongzi, he is indeed nothing, Wang Enyi spends all day drinking, the delicacies of the mountains and seas he has eaten, and the fat and thin Yanhuan he has played, which is not something he can enjoy in his life, he is just a thug who watches the scene.

"Hmph~ You wait, wait for the master to take out the silver, and then you will all have to use the master as a stool to sit on."

When Wang Enyi saw this, he knew that it was almost impossible to get in today, so he could only helplessly drop a sentence and leave angrily.

Luo Dong on the side watched coldly, and watched this scene carefully, these places are the most realistic and direct in Qinglou Chuguan Casino, if you have money, you are the uncle, if you don't have money, you are nothing.

Silently followed Wang Enyi and continued to see where he would go.

Wang Enyi left the casino, touched his stomach, looked at a restaurant, and walked inside with his head stuffy, but before he could enter, the shopkeeper in the restaurant stopped him directly.

"Go~ go, if you want food, don't look at the place, you have to wait until the restaurant to eat, and we'll give you some when we have the leftovers."

"You're blind, don't you see it's me?"

When Wang Enyi heard this, he immediately became angry, he used to come to this restaurant often, and the food was not bad.

"Hey, who did I say, it turned out to be Wang Gongzi, I'm really sorry, our shopkeeper has ordered, this store will not take credit, if you have silver, of course you can enter, but now Wang Gongzi do you still have silver?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the voice, he took a closer look, and immediately said with a smile.

"I'll keep the accounts first, and I'll wait until I get the silver from Daming First Bank, and then settle it together."

When Wang Enyi heard this, he waved his hand and walked inside.

It's just that the shopkeeper didn't buy his account at all, and he didn't give way at all.

"Wang Gongzi, I'm really sorry, you have already paid twelve taels of silver on credit in our store, when will this silver be given? You haven't given me a point yet? ”

"Didn't I say that?"

"My father deposited 300,000 taels of silver in the first bank of Daming before he died, and he can't withdraw it now, but he can withdraw interest next year, and there are almost more than 20,000 taels of silver a year, which is more than enough to buy your store."

Wang Enyi was very unhappy and emphasized again.

"Prince Wang, you can live until next year, without silver, you can't enter this door."

The shopkeeper smiled, looking like a ghost only believed you.

Wang Enyi looked at the other party's posture, touched his hungry stomach, and left helplessly.

In the past, when he was rich, he had friends all over the world, and he was a guest everywhere he went, and everyone was carefully served, but now that he has no money, even eating a meal is a problem.

Luo Dong slowly followed Wang Enyi, quietly watching everything that Wang Enyi encountered.

The casino was thrown out, the door of the restaurant couldn't get in, and I borrowed money from a friend, not only did I not receive the money, but I was also sneered at by people who used to think of themselves as friends, and the whole person was very down, walking on the street like a walking corpse, and the street stalls and vendors who didn't even look at it before looked at it, and now they are constantly swallowing.

Gradually, the sun slowly set, Wang Enyi dragged his hungry body, tired body and mind to a dilapidated small courtyard, in the small courtyard, a woman wearing patched clothes was constantly washing clothes, and there was an eleven or twelve-year-old child playing next to her.

Although this woman was washing clothes and wearing tattered clothes, it can be seen from her appearance that she is very good-looking, fair-skinned, dignified and beautiful, and obviously used to be from a large family.

Although this small yard is dilapidated, it is also cleaned by her, and she is obviously a virtuous and virtuous person, a diligent and thrifty housekeeper.

"Xianggong~"

When the woman saw Wang Enyi coming back, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and stepped forward to greet her.

"Hmm~"

Wang Enyi looked at his wife Wu and let out a long hum.

Wu is a family affair that his father told him, he is a young lady from a big family in Shandong, and he has been married for more than ten years.

Now that the family road has been defeated, those concubines and the like in the past have already rolled up and left, only this wife has been following her, a lady in the past, and now she is washing clothes to earn some copper plates to support the family.

"Why don't you go?"

Wang Enyi looked at Wu and asked.

"I marry a chicken and a chicken and a dog and a dog, I am a member of the Wang family in life, and I am a ghost of the Wang family in death, how can you say such things to humiliate me?"

As soon as Wu heard this, the tears of the whole person fell in an uproar, she is a traditional woman, she has always adhered to the three obedience and four virtues, and followed Wang Enyi to endure hardships and suffering, and now when she heard Wang Enyi's words, the whole person seemed to have been greatly wronged.

She is Wang Enyi's wife, married to Wang Enyi, and identified him, although he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and spends all day drinking, but she has always endured it silently, running this family without regrets, with children.

"Mother~"

Hearing Wu's cry, Wang Enyi's son on the side suddenly fell into Wu's arms and cried.

Wang Enyi looked at his wife, then at his son, and then thought about everything he had experienced, and suddenly seemed to understand something in his originally muddy mind.

"Lady~"

Wang Enyi gently hugged his wife Wu, and then hugged his son, and tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Thinking back on his past, the past is unbearable, he used to call friends, full of friends, three wives and four concubines, wanton pleasure, in the end, there is nothing left, only his wife has always been unabandoned.

It suddenly made him wake up.

"Smack~Slap~"

He couldn't help but slap himself hard.

"I'm really a beast and I'm not as good as ~"

"I'm angry with my father, and I have lost my family business, it's just like a beast."

While beating himself, Wang Enyi also kept saying, the more he talked, the more angry the whole person became, and he hit harder, and all of a sudden, the whole person's face was swollen.

"Xianggong~"

Wu hurriedly grabbed Wang Enyi's hand and said, "Xianggong knows that his mistakes can be corrected, if Daddy knows about it, he will definitely forgive you." ”

"Lady~I'm sorry for you~"

Wang Enyi looked at his wife in front of him, couldn't help but fall to his knees all of a sudden, and said with remorse.

"Xianggong, there is gold under the man's knees, how can you kneel down to me, a woman, get up, get up."

When Wu saw it, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly helped Wang Enyi up.

"Lady, I'm like this, you have always been to me, how can I, Wang Enyi, be able to marry you?"

Wang Enyi was reluctant to get up, thinking of his past, and feeling extremely guilty, sorry for the Wu family.

"Xianggong~"

When Wu Shi heard this, tears fell even more, and he suddenly felt that everything he had done now was worth it, and all the efforts were worth it.

"Goo~Goo~"

At this time, Wang Enyi's stomach screamed uncontrollably after being hungry for a day.

"Xianggong, haven't you eaten yet?"

When Wu heard this, he hurriedly asked.

"Hmm~"

Wang Enyi nodded very ashamedly, in the past, he didn't go home full of wine and food, but now that he came back hungry, he felt even more difficult to face his wife.

"Xianggong, you sit down first, and I'll cook for you right away."

Wu hurriedly helped Wang Enyi to sit on a chair in the yard, and then went to get busy, but when she came to the rice tank, she found that there was no rice in the rice tank, so she touched her body and said: "Xianggong, there is no rice at home, I will go to Aunt Li's house next door to borrow some rice." ”

After saying that, she hurriedly picked up a cloth bag and was about to walk outside.

When Wang Enyi heard this, he immediately cried even more miserably, hugged Wu and said: "Lady, don't go, it's just a hungry meal, it's nothing, not to mention such a thing, how can you let you go, it's so faceless, I'll go tomorrow." ”

"Xianggong~"

When Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then tears poured out like tears.

Pity her for being a lady, she used to have her hands not stained with spring water, but now she wants to wash people's clothes to earn a few copper plates to support her family, and find someone to borrow rice, which is also very difficult for her to open her mouth for the first time, how much struggle she has had in her heart, how much red her face has, how many white eyes and cynicism she has suffered, only she knows.

"Lady, in the future, I will never gamble again, never go to spend all day drinking, I will find something to do, and I will never let you suffer."

Wang Enyi hugged his wife, tears wet his clothes, and at this moment he realized that the most valuable wealth left by his old man was nothing else, but a virtuous wife.

"Xianggong~"

When Wu heard this, he immediately just hugged Wang Enyi, and immediately felt that even if he lived a hard life, it was worth it.

"Xianggong, today I'll go to Aunt Li to count rice, this person is iron rice and steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and you will be hungry and your bones will not work."

Hearing Wang Enyi's rumbling stomach again, Wu wiped his tears and said.

"Don't go, just starve, and don't die of hunger, I was too happy before, that's why I'm so bad, I should suffer hardships, and I'm hungry."

Wang Enyi smiled, then pulled the Wu opponent, sat her down and said: "Lady, I understand now, everything is like the smoke of the past, only you are the one who is truly worth cherishing." ”

"I, Wang Enyi, swear to the sky, if there is a place to be sorry for the lady in the future, I will be thundered by the sky!"

Then Wang Enyi knelt on the ground, raised his fingers, and swore directly to the sky.

"Xianggong~Xianggong~"

"I know what you want, you don't need to swear such a poisonous oath."

When Wu heard this, he hurriedly said, the whole person is as sweet as honey.

"Lady, don't worry, our family actually still has money, before my father left, most of our family's money was deposited in the first bank of Daming, but the deposit is fixed, not due can not be withdrawn, can only be withdrawn every year, tomorrow we will go to the bank to see, can they pay us some interest first, so that we can get through the current difficulties."

"I think about it, in the future, I will go into business like the old man, and I will earn back everything our family has lost with my own hands."

Wang Enyi nodded, then stood up and said very firmly.

"Hmm~"

Wu nodded firmly, she believed in her husband.

This scene was also clearly seen by Luo Dong outside the door, and it was also recorded in detail.
