After many twists and turns, there is finally a letter

Things return to their original owners and form new relationships

Within a month, Yang Yuandao went to Jiankang to take office, and only the Wang family was with him. The wife, a son and a daughter returned to the capital, and the rest of the servants and maids were dismissed. Originally, he just wanted to go to work alone, but the concubine Ah Fang repeatedly asked, saying that she was ignorant in the past and caused a lot of trouble to Xianggong, but now that her sister has returned to Beijing, the servants are gone, and she is just going to serve and serve, otherwise Xianggong is too lonely.

Yang Yuandao is reluctant, you are pregnant, or go back to Beijing or go to your hometown in Sanyin to recuperate.

Wang Afang is arrogant: Master, people are not so pampered, so they want to accompany you, when you have a big stomach and are unable to move, can you go back? Besides, you said that you were going to fight, and it would not be a few months, and when the war became tight, you would leave if you didn't tell me.

Saying this, Yang Yuandao had nothing to say. After being reminded by her, she remembered the poems of the Yellow Valley, found Wang to join the army, and asked him if he would like to go to Jiankang with him, if he wanted, he could go with him first, and he would negotiate with the officials and arrange a suitable position in the consulate general. Wang is not very old in the army, and he doesn't want to stay in one place, since General Leader Yang is willing to take it, why shouldn't he do it.

Yang Yuandao knew that his daughter-in-law was about to give birth in her hometown, and it was no big deal to go to Jiankang now, so he gave him a month's vacation and went home to accompany his daughter-in-law. Wang was very happy to join the army and left with a thousand thanks.

When I arrived in Jiankang, there was really nothing wrong, and the Consulate General strengthened and highlighted the function of the military supply of the various transit divisions, and at the same time, there was also a function of urging the Metropolitan Commanders to use military rations and truthfully report the military situation. The three major capitals have no intention of going on an expedition, so it is impossible to talk about how to deploy them. What we need to do now is nothing more than to find out the background of the family and repair the relevant equipment.

A few days later, Ah Fang's father and brother both came, and hired two maids for them, one older and one younger. They opened a new storehouse here to sell grain, cloth, etc., and in the process of drinking, Ah Fang's brother consciously or unconsciously mentioned that if the Jin and Song Dynasty went to war, they would need a lot of grain, cloth, and forage, and they could supply some of this.

This is the shrewdness of a businessman, who will do everything possible to occupy the market and pursue the interests that belong to him. Yang Yuandao said that if you need to buy these things from the people, you can buy yours, but your things should be good, and the price should not be higher than other people's.

The father-in-law said, of course, we can't smear my uncle's face.

Wang joined the army and came back, and this time Yang Yuandao arranged for him to be the counselor of the General Consulate. His daughter-in-law gave birth to four daughters in a row, and now she finally got her wish and gave birth to a big fat boy. During the birth of his daughter-in-law, there was an accident, and if he hadn't been at home, I didn't know what unexpected things would have happened. Yang Yuandao waited for him to rest for a while, and then brought up the painting again.

Counselor Wang said: Since the Commander-in-Chief always can't let go, I want to go to Jian'an to find that old Mr. Wang, maybe there will be new clues.

Yang Yuandao agreed, then you will work hard.

Counselor Wang and a Xu official surnamed Liu took Chen Fei and found the Jian'an Masa Zhixintang Printing House, but the old man was not there, and he returned to the outskirts of the capital. There was no choice but to go back to the capital, but something happened in Pingyang County, eastern Zhejiang.

Along the way, the three of them rented horse-drawn carriages when they traveled by land, and took boats when they encountered water. From Jianyang to the north, there are many rugged mountain roads, the car is very bumpy, it is not dark yet, it is to Pingyang County, Wang Counselor decided to go into the city to find a decent inn to rest. After waking up and having dinner, I heard that there was a tile shop not far away, specializing in puppet shows. Pingyang is the birthplace of southern opera, and there is a folk saying that "Pingyang is a play". Counselor Wang was interested, Chen Fei said that he didn't like to watch it, you two officials went to take it.

The next morning, the package brought by Liu Xu was missing, which contained the certificate and entanglement of the Consulate General, which was preliminarily determined to have been stolen. When he went to the county office to report the case, the county lieutenant took two officials to inspect and interrogate, but no clues were found. At this point, they are faced with two choices: either wait here for a few days to see if they can solve the case, or try to continue on their way.

Counselor Wang has been walking in the yamen of the prefecture and county for many years, and small cases like this often occur, and it is normal that they cannot be solved, and it is just a coincidence that they are detected, and it is in vain to wait. If you want to continue on your journey, you can only find a post house. Borrowing horses from the post house, eating and living in the post house, and needing a certificate issued by the government, how to prove one's identity has become a problem. After a lot of words, the magistrate of Pingyang basically believed in the identities of Counselor Wang and Liu Xu, and could issue official certificates for the two, but Chen Fei's expenses could only be solved by himself.

Chen Fei said that he could earn some money with his craft before leaving. There is no way, I can't leave if I want to, I can only wait. In this way, Chen Fei worked in a hotel for three days and earned a tael of silver. I started to walk back.

Fortunately, when I arrived at the Zhejiang Pavilion in the south of Lin'an City, I found Wang Yanjin's home, and the old man was also there. The old man remembered this, and when he saw that there were two people from the government who came, he asked Chen Fei: Young man, is there a problem with the way you came? At the beginning, when I asked, you were still anxious with me.

Counselor Wang hurriedly explained: That's right, old man, at the beginning, this character was given to his sister by our adult's father-in-law, and the old man of his family suddenly fell ill and lacked money, so he mortgaged this character. Now, the old man wants this thing again, so please ask us adults to help find it and see if we can spend money to redeem it.

Wang Yanzhen said: First of all, let's make it clear, his words are sold to me, not mortgaged, we are not pawn shops, I knew that this was a valuable thing, and I gave him three months, but as soon as he left, I sold this thing.

There is no doubt about this, sir, and it is not your fault. Think about it, who did you sell this thing to, do you want to find him? We adults are willing to pay double the price to buy it back.

It's not so easy to buy back what has been sold. Dare to ask, who is your adult?

Yang Yuandao, the head of the Huaixi Consulate General.

Yang Yuandao? Have you ever been the prefect of Pingjiang?

Adults sat in the lobby of Pingjiang Mansion before.

To say that this Lord Yang is a good official, his old father is also a loyal minister.

During the Qingyuan period, Prime Minister Zhao Ruyu was impeached by the officials, many officials wrote to the rescue, all were reprimanded and belittled, the government and the opposition were suddenly dumb and quiet, and the six students of Fujian wrote to Zhao Ruyu, who was wronged and aggrieved, which angered the emperor. This change is to save six people. One of them, Lin Zhonglin, is Wang Yanjin's little son-in-law, who happened to be infected with the wind and cold, and if he was exiled for thousands of miles, his life would definitely be difficult to protect.

And this Yang Governor's Mansion. Wang Yanzhen's fourth son, Wang Hongchen, opened a silk village in Pingjiang, and had a dispute with his neighbor Zhou's family over a trivial matter, and the clerks of the two families took action. The Zhou family sued Wang Hongchen, probably because the Zhou family found someone, and the Pingjiang Mansion Magistrate's Court ruled that the Wang family lost the lawsuit and demanded that the Wang family compensate the Zhou family for all losses. Wang Hongchen felt unfair, and the next day, he went to the Yamen of Pingjiang Mansion to beat drums and voice grievances. It happened that Governor Yang was sitting in the hall and summoned the two families to ask about the situation.

Governor Yang said: This is a small neighborhood dispute, and there is no need to go to court at all, and each one will pass by one step. If the trouble continues, if you have to divide the high and low, this grudge will become bigger and bigger. You see, it's a matter of recruiting a position for a store, Wang Guy Ji blamed Zhou Guy, Zhou Guy Ji didn't give in, Wang Guy Ji was unforgiving, so he spoke badly to each other, Zhou Guy Ji was ashamed and angry, and started beating people, forming a situation where two guys were fighting against each other, and the result was that three people from the Zhou family were injured and two people from the Wang family were injured. And the two shopkeepers did not give in to each other. Two shopkeepers, what is the most important thing to do business? And, is it good to make money in harmony, for trivial things, quarrel and quarrel, fight and fight, and are not calm, and start a lawsuit, you say, do you have energy to fight a lawsuit, and does it affect the business? When your Zhou family won the lawsuit, do you think you are great and make more money than before? Your Wang family lost the lawsuit, felt unfair, and put their minds down, and did not do business, but also wanted to fight for this breath back, do you say that I am talking about it or not?

Shopkeeper Zhou replied: What the prefect said is that at the beginning, we were at a loss, but we were injured a lot, I think the shopkeeper Wang is a foreigner, and he doesn't want to lose face.

Governor Yang looked at Wang Hongchen again, and Wang said: The prefect's words have reached our hearts, and I just feel that I can't bear that breath, even if I close the store, I have to win the lawsuit back.

Two shopkeepers, what if you win such a small lawsuit, and how many people can you lose if you lose? Do you still want to do business in the future, do you look down and don't look up? Governor Yang still persuaded him.

The two shopkeepers nodded, their faces much more natural.

If you want me to say, you don't have to fight this lawsuit, both of you are people with status, you can't sit down and discuss anything, isn't it just a matter of a few dozen taels of silver? Is it worth making such a big fuss?

The two shopkeepers laughed, Lord Prefect, we listen to you.

Well, in that case, I declare the last judgment of the Judicial Court null and void, and the lawsuit between you two is withdrawn, so go back and discuss it yourself.

Wang Hongchen said: Lord Yang, I have an idea, I don't know if I can say it?

Governor Yang waved his hand and said something to say.

Adults compare their hearts with their hearts and convince people with reason, all for our good, and I, Wang Hongchen, have served. Tonight, I want to set up a table in Hongbin Building, specially for the banquet of adults, please Zhou shopkeeper as a companion, can the adults enjoy the light?

It should be so, the two of you will hold a banquet of peace, and I will accompany you and talk with you. Specifically ask me, I won't go.

Wang Yanzhen finished talking about this, and said: Since it is Lord Yang's business, I will tell the truth. The writing was placed with me, and at first I did not put it on the cabinet, but took some effort to frame it. Three months later, it was put out at a price of five hundred taels. Why is the mark so high? One is to think about whether anyone has taken a fancy to this thing, and the second is to think that no one wants it, so I keep it for myself.

In the fifth month, a young man wanted to buy it, and he consulted with me and asked if it could be reduced to three hundred taels. I said, no, if you want to buy five hundred taels, you can buy it, and if you don't buy it, you will pull it down.

The young man told me that he was a descendant of the Yellow Valley, and that he was collecting all kinds of scrolls from the old man in the valley and preparing to make a book sticker. This is a large character in line, which is extremely rare in the materials he collected. So I want it very much, but the price is a little high, and he doesn't have so much for the time being.

There were some doubts, and he looked at him with suspicion, the great-great-grandson of the Valley Daoist, how could he prove it.

There is a family tree, and there is an authentic calligraphy of Gaozu, but I didn't bring it.

You take these things and look at them, and then you negotiate the price, and besides, don't you want to make them into a book? My family has a Zhixintang Book Club in Jian'an Masha, which can be printed by you. Look at the books printed here.

As a result, the young man came two days later, and brought the family tree and other scrolls, and the two discussed, and the book was printed in Zhixintang, and this scroll of poems was handed over to the descendants of the Huang family, and the price was three hundred taels, which was regarded as a deposit for printing the book. Now, the scroll of poetry, together with other poems in the Yellow Valley, should be in the Jian'an Book Society, and the carvers are imitating its font to make character molds.

Liu Xu understood it, turned around, and was still in Jian'an.

Even if it is in my hands, it is not easy to return the original thing. We ask for your understanding for this. Lord Yang likes calligraphy, I have Yan Lugong's stele here, I gave him a few copies, and after the stele in the Yellow Valley is printed, I will send someone to send him some. If he likes the original, I'll tell the kids to pay attention to it, and I'll send someone to give it to him when I have it.
