When the middle-aged man walked through the door of the Ming Hall, he stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold. If you are an ordinary person, you will be a little frightened. But the one in front of him, the action was smooth, he leaned over and fell to the ground, and then even crawled to the tablet of Zheng's father, without anyone Zhang Luo, he picked up three sticks of incense and lit it with both hands tremblingly and inserted it in the incense burner. After the incense was finished, he took a deep breath. Zheng Yu knew that after the other party's performance, it was time for him to appear and finish, but he didn't think about it. Miscalculation!! After the middle-aged man took a full breath.

"Oops!! Oh, that brother in my place!! You don't talk about faith, why don't you wait for your brother!! ”

Zheng Yu, who was halfway through the action, was dumbfounded, what should I do? ? It's a harder question than the decision of an old lady who has fallen down on the road. To help or not to help?? The key is who this thing is?? The cloak came in, and he didn't show a straight face, and the crying was a touching thing, how much did his cheap dad owe him and didn't pay it back??

Otherwise, Jiang is still old and spicy, it is estimated that the uncle who was chanting on the side couldn't stand this exaggerated acting skills, and stopped him loudly, "This donor, mourn and take care of your body." "None of the spells worked that way. When the middle-aged man heard this, his crying stopped abruptly, like an old hen being choked by the neck. Zheng Yu took advantage of the situation to complete the action of getting up and stepped forward to help, and the middle-aged man stood up and bowed slightly to the monk uncle: "Thank you, Master." Uncle Shi said, "It's okay"

At this time, the middle-aged man pulled his hair open to reveal his whole face, and wiped it with his hand. grabbed Zheng Yu's hand and said sadly, "Child, it's hard for you!" ”

Zheng Yu couldn't dodge, he was caught, the tears in one hand and the snot, this is called a greasy, he raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man with nausea, and the memory fragments in his mind quickly pieced together a face, which completely coincided with the face in front of him.

"Liu Shibo!"

The middle-aged man's name is Liu Yun, a wealthy businessman in the Jingshi row. Born as a blacksmith, he was recruited into the Ministry of Works because of his superb skills when he was young. This person is good at drilling the camp, which took two years, according to a map of the Ming Dynasty in the Ministry of Industry, and cast a 9-meter-square three-dimensional sand table with iron. Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, forests, grasslands, cities, passes, and ferries are all colored and vivid. The whole sand table is exquisite and ingenious. On the occasion of the Wanshou Festival, it was presented to the emperor as a gift, and the reigning emperor at that time was Emperor Shengwu, who was also Zhu Zuochang's father. The name of the sand table: the country is iron, and the foundation is eternal.

When the red cloth covered with the sand table was unveiled in front of everyone, the civil and military officials, harem concubines, and envoys from various countries present. Breathtaking, the old emperor was even more shocked, trembling and walking forward to keep touching here and there, knocking on that, and crying with joy. Immediately ordered someone to take a pen and paper and splash ink. The five big characters of the world's first craftsman jumped on the paper. After writing it, he threw it to Liu Yun.

This time Liu Yun didn't seem to have received any reward, and he didn't even take off his identity as a craftsman. In fact, I got something that ordinary people can't get in this life. Emperor Mobao, and the first in the world. Since then, Salted Fish turned over, opened a blacksmith shop named Wanjinfang, and a few years later branches all over the Ming Dynasty. There is a huge plaque of the world's first craftsman at the door of each Wanjinfang, relying on this plaque, Wanjinfang has developed to now monopolize 70% of the pig iron smelting and iron-forging business of the whole Ming Dynasty, and it is the designated supplier of military weapons.

What does this have to do with Zheng Yu's father? ? It turned out that when Liu Yun's career was just starting, he encountered robbers while traveling and almost lost his life. He was rescued by Zheng's father, who was passing by escorting other caravans. Since then, if there is a business, he must ask Zheng's father to escort him, and Zheng's father has also responded to his requests, and in the past few years, Zheng's father has rescued Liu Yun several times and is in trouble, and the friendship between the two has become deeper and deeper, and they have become brothers. As Liu Yun's business became bigger and bigger, he no longer personally escorted the goods. And Zheng's father no longer plays darts in person because of his age, which is not a special circumstance. The two of them are divided into many and get together, and basically only exchange letters.

As for this exaggerated way of crying and mourning, Zheng Yu really misunderstood. Since receiving the news of Zheng's father's death, Liu Yun has rushed to Datong from Beijing non-stop, and he has been in the dust. When he arrived in Datong, he didn't stop for a moment and went straight to the Zheng Family Martial Arts Hall, running all the way, and he didn't care about tidying up his hair when it was scattered, just to take one last look at his brother who he hadn't seen for many years. I haven't seen it when I got to (liao three sounds), can I not be grief-stricken. Zheng Yu, who recognized Liu Yun, felt a little guilty about the question he had just had, and he didn't feel disgusted with the snot and tears on his hands at this time. Hurriedly picked up Liu Yun.

"Shibo, the road is far away, you have suffered, sit down and rest for a while, I will pour you a glass of water..."

"Don't be busy, kid. Uncle is not thirsty, let me ask you, where is your father's body? Why not here, why are there only so many people in the family? Zheng Yu hurriedly told the ins and outs of the matter, and listened to Liu Yun's tears falling again, and it took a while to stop.

"So what's next for you?? What can Uncle do for you? Zheng Yu's heart was moved when he heard this.

"Shibo, I don't have any good plans for the time being, let's take one step at a time, first get the business of the martial arts hall back on track, and then try to take revenge when I have a certain amount of strength."

Liu Yun said: "Revenge? Ay... Mongolian cavalry, how can it be so easy, kid! In this way, after burying your father, you can sell the property here and go to Jingshi with your uncle, and your uncle will help you start over, your uncle in Datong is really beyond the reach of your uncle."

Hey? Going to Beijing to develop, I feel that this is a good idea! It's a metropolis, you can still hold Liu Yun's thick thighs, and more importantly, you can stay away from this place where you have already made a bad reputation. There is a little excitement in my heart, reserved, reserved!

"Uncle, I can't pay attention to this matter for a while, let me find a time to discuss it with my senior brother."

Liu Yun heard the words and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you think about it slowly." Tomorrow you pack up two rooms for me, and I'm going to stay here for a while. By the way, your Manwen sister also came with her this time, staying at the inn for the time being. Tomorrow, I will bring them to live at home. In the future, you young people must move around more, and when we old bones are gone, don't break the relationship between the two families. ”

Liu Manwen! A little girl with pigtails and a rock sugar gourd in her hand appeared in Zheng Yu's mind. Liu Yun's daughter, born in the concubine's room, is smart, delicate and lovely, the youngest in the family, and is quite loved by Liu Yun, and she is by her side for a long time.

The first and only time Zheng Yu and her met seemed to be 5 or 6 years old, and I can't remember it clearly. At that time, adults often joked about the two of them, saying that they were a pair made in heaven. It's been nearly ten years, and what has become of this girl, I still have a little expectation in my heart.

"Okay uncle, my nephew knows, I'll arrange it for you and Sister Manwen later"

When the hour comes, the spirit will come out of the funeral. After the event, he sent Liu Yun to the inn where he was temporarily staying, and when he returned home again, it was already dark, Zheng Yu, who had been tired for seven days, fell asleep, and the others were basically the same, resting early.
