Time flies, from bringing a letter to tell her daughter to pay more attention to nourishment, to now it is time to remind Wang Ruoxi to control nutrition so that the fetus will grow too well in the future to give birth.

The Mr. Ni recommended by Chen Kun was already more than two months pregnant when Wang Ruoxi was diagnosed as pregnant, of course, Wang Xingping would never say that he had already guessed that the time of his nephew's birth would be in February and March next year from his sister's menstrual affairs.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival daughter is still not around, and there is no husband at home, but Xiao Shi feels very relieved, all because of his son.

After traveling for a few months, the son, who had been significantly taller, finally returned to Guiyang on the fourth day after Bai Lu, which was the 17th birthday celebration in August.

Along the way, the son not only took care of the enemy's family, but also earned the capital, and the problem of the external cabinet financial plan was also solved. More importantly, people can return home safely, a few months ago I heard that Wang Xingping did those things in Sichuan made Xiao very worried for several days, those days in the north city wall in the conch bay of the Yuantong Temple, the abbot monk did not lack the incense money of this Xiao Shizhu.

Fortunately, his son came back safely, and a few days later, Wang Xingping visited his teacher and neighbors, as well as his brother-in-law to explain all kinds of business matters to be done, and he was very busy.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family, Wang Xingping was away from home all day because of the iron smelting site selection.

Wang Zunde's side of him has been the uncle of the Tuo tribe Wang Mingde personally repaired a book, this is from Wang Laiting after the burial of he wanted to ask the Tuo uncle to write an epitaph for his father, this is the same clan and are all meritorious scholars, this is also common at this time. This time, he simply talked about the establishment of iron smelting, and explained the matter of going to Chongqing all the way clearly, Wang Mingde ordered the family members of his cronies to deliver the letter first, and Wang Xingping also sent Ye Da Cabinet and Wang Ge and a few capable men on the road together.

According to the itinerary, this line of people is after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when they can arrive at Wuzhou Mansion in Guangxi before the Chongyang Festival, from Wuzhou through the Antelope Gorge, and wait for Wang Zunde, who is now in Zhaoqing, to arrange that they can go all the way east along the Pearl River to Guangzhou, I believe that no matter whether there is good news to bring back a few people can rush back to see the lights before the year. And sending Ye Yiwei and his two right-hand men to other provinces on an errand together is not only to believe in his ability, but also to let Gu Fengming relax his vigilance.

There are several places on this piece of land in the north of Guiyang that are the properties of the Wang family, and they are the warehouses of the Futai outside the city, because the location is excellent in front of the road to Sichuan in the north, but it is not possible to decide to bulldoze and rebuild this place, after all, there are still many things that have not been taken care of.

It has been more than ten days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and if everything goes well, Ye Da Cabinet and Wang Ge and others who are traveling south at this moment should have already crossed the provincial border.

With a little free time today, Wang Xingping came to the warehouse in the northern suburbs to check.

Wang Ge did not fail in his mission, and recruited a few trustworthy iron smelting brothers from the original private metallurgical office, Wang Xingping felt satisfied after reading it, and arranged them in the treasury when he returned to Guiyang.

The original old man here was replaced by Gu Fengming one after another after the accident of the royal father, and the library that is retained now is more or less related to the Gu family, Wang Xingping's intention was originally to mix sand.

Ye Yiwei also privately persuaded Wang Xingping not to give in to the Gu family, but Wang Xingping only said to wait and see, after all, he was just appointing a private person, and although there were some problems in the accounts, it was not good to make trouble immediately. What he likes the most is to solve it completely, and he is not too willing to do things that can't be eradicated by cutting grass, and now he is holding He Degu's letter in his hand, although it is not a hard handle, but at a critical moment, he must be able to startle some snakes by making a grass pole.

Among the brothers brought by Wang Ge, Ding Deshui and Ding Yi are the most powerful, their uncles and nephews are the most kind to Wang Ge, and when Wang Ge left, he also told the two to look forward to the young proprietor, Wang Xingping said something They also listened to the most, and it was rare that this Ding Deshui also knew some words.

Although it was only in front of the warehouse, the iron smelting would be opened sooner or later, and Ding's uncle and nephew and several others did not stop the investigation of this subway metallurgy, but the result was unsurprisingly disappointing.

Ding Deshui, the iron produced in Guizhou, shook his head after seeing it, the iron is not good, everything is in vain, even Wang Xingping, a layman, can see the unbearable quality, of course, Wang Xingping also knows that most of the problems are still in the grade of iron ore and the charcoal of iron smelting. Guizhou also has a local railway, and the so-called no comparison is no harm, but this damage is a little bigger.

Fortunately, it is only a matter of process and raw materials, the local furnace workers are still available, the Ding family's uncles and nephews are very good, and the Wang family wants to start iron smelting There are not too many secrets, so there are actually many workers who come to try their luck when they hear the news, and Ding Deshui is now responsible for the inspection.

Wang Xingping still has to return home today, he hasn't eaten with his mother at home for a long time, and he has already promised that he can't shirk it, so he didn't talk to the Ding family's uncles and nephews in detail, and they will be in the district for the time being, and when the news comes back from the south, they will recruit people according to the order.

At the autumn equinox, the backyard of the Wang family is full of fragrant osmanthus, feeling the faint yellow aroma and feeling that the hot summer of several months is about to dissipate.

Xiao Shi was still a little worried, "Mr. Chunyu has been out for a long time, the weather is going to be cold, I don't know if it will be okay on this journey?" ”

Ni Zhumo, who was called the name Chunyu, was recommended by Chen Kun to follow Wang Xingping into Guizhou this time, and he was actually from Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Wang Xingping felt that although this person was proficient in medicine, he was actually more like a scholar. Unexpectedly, Chen Kun went to Jiangnan and became acquainted with two famous doctors, which can be regarded as an interesting thing.

These days are running outside, today it is rare to return home by the old lady after the meal to ask about Mr. Ni, the belly has not moved for several years the daughter has been pregnant by this doctor diagnosis and treatment, the feelings of the middle-aged woman are simple and pure, since then I have recognized this gentleman is the noble of the Wang family, is Ni Zhumo left to Duyun Mansion before the Xiao family to accompany the family, and forced Wang Xingping to find Zhang Rulin, who is also from the two Zhejiang townships, to take more care.

…………

The weather looks like autumn, although it has not cooled down yet, but there are still a lot more people who go to the street to drink and eat during the day.

A few restaurants and teahouses close to the outside of the government have always had the best business, not because the tea and wine here are better than elsewhere, but because of the proximity of the official office, I found a private room on the second floor and called a pot of street red [Note: A kind of dyed wine made with liquor as the base and a variety of spices in the southwest region has the effect of removing wind and dehumidification] and a few snacks can kill half a day by the way to inquire about some useful gossip, which is a good pastime in Guiyang Mansion.

On the second floor of the four-room building facing the government today, in a box facing the east side of the bridge, there were three people drinking and talking about things.

The middle-aged man first drank all the wine in the cup and sighed: "It's really unlucky, it's only been a few days that the price of salt has been folded back again." ”

The man rushed to the Huai salt market a few months ago and collected a lot of salt, but Sichuan did not see any movement, and the market gradually fell back, and many of the quotations lost a lot.

The person sitting opposite was much younger, but he was a pair of sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and the chopsticks were full of freshly fried chicken firs, and he laughed when he heard the words, "Brother's great age is not as good as that Wang family's boy." ”

Another young white scholar persuaded him: "Jia Gui, you don't talk about cool things, and Brother Dong Yi didn't provoke you." ”

Then he turned to ask, "How much did my brother lose this time?" ”

The middle-aged man who was called Brother Dong Yi didn't answer, just shook his head and laughed blindly.

However, that Jia Gui had the virtue of gloating, but he deliberately cared: "I'm afraid that if I don't lose four or five hundred taels, right?" ”

The scholar was not gentle, and scolded when he heard it, "Jia Gui, can you say a few fucking words?" The best chicken fir from Yunnan can't stop your mouth? ”

"It's what you have to ask, Brother Dong Yi was originally here to find enlightenment, and besides, what I said is also the truth, this time it is indeed cheaper for the Wang family."

"The boy of the Wang family? Is that Wang Xingping? What happened to him? The scholar became a little curious.

Jia Gui said: "Brother He Jiu hasn't heard of it? That kid went to Sichuan, I don't know what kind of luck he had, and he made thousands of taels of salt in Lishi, and the economy of Guiyang Mansion is now spreading this. ”

"Is there such a thing? How long has his father been dead, and he hasn't been filial yet. ”

"It's true, besides, those who are officials have to talk about love, Wang Xiaolian's family is now left with this single seedling, and no one can say anything when they come out to support the portal, but your distant uncle should be careful."

Brother He Jiu's family is Jiu, his real name is Zhengwen, he is He Degu's distant nephew, Jia Gui talked about his uncle who wanted to be careful, and the first thing he thought of was He Degu.

He Zhengwen has studied literature since he was a child, and some of his family's assets were lost by his gambling father in his early years, and now his family is not rich, and he is just glamorous on the surface, and his distant uncle is actually not very close, and he doesn't move around much.

That Jia Gui is a local idle tooth man, and he also mixed up some scenes with his sharp teeth.

Both of them are kind to Dong Yi, Dong Yi relies on Jia Gui to help him make peace on weekdays, although Jia Gui is not good-looking, he can do things well, so he can win Dong Yi's trust. And because Dong Yi had helped He Zhengwen, the three of them got together like this. Although Dong Yi is not good at talking, his mind is lively, and he is also the richest among the three, he has always been calm but he doesn't want to suffer a big loss this time. Although a few hundred taels of silver can afford it, it is enough for his whole family for a year, and it is really painful, so he called the two of them to drink stuffy, and he also wanted to find some more ideas.

He Zhengwen listened to Jia Gui's instigation, and said: "You don't want to pull any more relatives who can't be beaten with eight poles." ”

Although He Degu has no intersection with He Zhengwen's family, he is not disgusted, he is really He Degu's son He Jin, a full bastard, and loves to grow up in front of their poor relatives.

Although He Zhengwen's family is in the middle of the road, he is also a scholar, and now he also has an errand in the household house of Guiyang Mansion, and Dong Yiduo inquired about the news of the official mansion from He Zhengwen, and the most annoying thing is that someone talks about the He family, and Jia Gui is using this to tease him so that he can make fun of him.

probably listened to He Zhengwen's defense, Jia Gui didn't care, "It doesn't matter if you are a relative or not, anyway, I'm afraid He Degu will probably be unlucky this time." ”

"Where did you hear that?"

Jia Gui sneered, "Do you still need to hear? Who has been helping thieves sell stolen goods for many years is someone else doesn't know, and your He family still doesn't know? The boy of the Wang family is absolutely good at doing things, and you must have heard of what he did in Banzhou, so what would happen if you were your uncle? ”

He Zhengwen was right-hearted when he heard this, "I am not a family with them. ”

However, Dong Yi seemed to have drunk enough wine and finally began to interject, "Jia Monkey, don't tease you Brother He Jiu, what's going on?" ”

This time, Jia Gui put away his smile, "I just heard that the young master of the Wang family seems to have some handle in his hand, in fact, I think most of them are nonsense legends that are not true." ”

He Zhengwen thought for a while and said, "I don't think so, how many things has this Wang Tiancheng done in the past six months, which one is like a half-sized kid can do?" But he just did, and in Zunyi, the two families who joined forces to kill his father were wiped out, and he still relied on the means of the officials. ”

He works in the government, although he is a small official, but he thinks that the news will not be false.

Hearing the news that the He family might be unlucky, He Wenzheng also came to his senses, and whispered again: "I heard that this young master of the Wang family is going to build an iron smelter outside the north of the city, and he has been busy selecting a site for the past few days. ”

Jia Gui burst out laughing when he heard this, "Build iron and smelting in Guiyang? ”

He felt that this young master of the Wang family was really doing too smoothly, and he even whimsically wanted to smelt iron in Guiyang.

However, Dong Yi has some city governments, and he also heard some doorways, He Wen is on an errand in the official mansion, although he is just an unpopular official, but he is serious about handling things, and he may know more things than being an official, so he stopped Jia Gui.

"Listen to you, Brother He Jiu."

Seeing that his appetite was aroused, He Zhengwen's face was colorful.

"If you laugh at the Wang family, others will laugh at you, and don't look at what current events are now?"

"Current events?"

'Current affairs' is of course the most important, this is He Zhengwen's consistent view, if it weren't for current affairs, Dong Yi would follow the trend to fry salt? If you can't see how current events can cost so much, of course, these are all hindsights.

"You don't want to think about it, the Wang family kid is young and old, if he didn't smell the fishy smell, he would come to him? You don't look at the recent Tang newspapers. ”

"Tang Bao?"

Seeing that the two of them hadn't understood yet, a sense of superiority arose spontaneously in the public gate, and He Zhengwen slowly said his conclusion.

"Now that Guizhou has won several big victories in a row, the officials in the government are still on the rise, what credit is faster than being able to get over the side credit?"

Although the civil capital in Daming is much more expensive than the military capital, but there are too many restrictions on the promotion of civil officials, for ordinary officials, there is no other way than to work hard to accumulate qualifications, but the side merit is different, if it is a number of victories, even if it is as high as a provincial governor, it can also share a lot of credit, it is to kill the good and risk the merit will be repeatedly banned, it is really too tempting.

When Jia Gui heard this, he also teased the news he heard from nowhere, "I heard that this young master of the Wang family has become a protégé of the great grandmaster in the province, but the great grandmaster can't manage the business." ”

"It's not the Great Grandmaster, it's Zhang Fujun."

"Zhang Minghe?" Jia Gui was shocked when he heard it.

He Zhengwen finally said what he knew.

"Tomorrow, Zhang Fujun will summon this Wang Xingping."

"What did Futai do when he saw him?"

"Have you forgotten what the Wang family originally did? The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, don't forget that Guiyang is a military and civilian government. ”
