On Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Furen's family came to the Wang family on the side of Guiyifang to observe the New Year according to custom. The difference between the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info previous years is that when eating the reunion dinner, Wang Haoran was called by the old man Wang Honggui to share the table with him before he took his seat. Wang Fuchang didn't dare to object anymore at this time, on the contrary, when his baby daughter Wang Xinyi couldn't get used to seeing a concubine enter the main table and came to make trouble, he rarely reprimanded his daughter, so angry that Wang Xinyi didn't eat anymore, and ran back to her room to lose her temper.

"Don't worry about her, this little girl's temper is getting better and better." Wang Honggui spoke.

Wang Honggui said that it seemed that Wang Xinyi's temper was not great before, but Wang Haoran didn't bother to say anything, he was in his twenties mentally, so he couldn't worry more about a little girl, right?

After the meal, a large family gathered in the hall to chat, waiting for the arrival of the child, taking advantage of this effort, Wang Fuchang asked Wang Haoran about the iron mine.

"Ba'er, the old man heard that you sold an iron mine in Puzhou, I don't know how the business is?"

Wang Furen naturally knew what kind of calculations this Wang Fuchang had, and quietly shook his head to signal Wang Haoran to pay more attention.

"So-so." Wang Haoran replied simply, in fact, how could his iron ore business be ordinary? Even if he didn't sell the iron ore to the government-run ironworks and iron casting kilns introduced by Zhao Yuankai, he could make a lot of money just by using it to make steel used in the construction of the new city. It's just that I'm worried that his uncle will ask for some benefits with a dead face, so he didn't tell the truth.

"Don't worry, it's only been a long time since it opened." Wang Fuchang said with kindness, "You can walk around with Zhao Yuankai and Zhao Tingshi over there, it will be of great help to you." However, that Zhao Tingshi is a little difficult to deal with, and the old man still has some friendship with him, why don't the old man come forward to talk to you for you? ”

"The kid is already dealing with Zhao Tingshi, I believe it will be effective soon, this little thing, how can you take action." Wang Haoran is just a concubine, and he is not qualified to call Wang Fuchang an uncle, he can only call Wang Fuchang the master like the slaves in the family, and similarly, he can only call Wang Honggui the eldest master. At first, Wang Haoran just suspected that Wang Fuchang had any plans, but now seeing that Wang Fuchang is so amiable and helpful, Wang Haoran can be 100% sure of this conjecture and quickly refuse. Just kidding, this uncle's friendship is much higher than Zhao Yuankai's repayment price, how can he get his affection?

"Sure enough, he is young and promising!" In fact, Wang Fuchang and Zhao Yuankai can be called friends, at most, they have dealt with each other a few times, nodding and begging others to help, since Wang Haoran refused, then he will no longer force it.

"The lord has won the prize."

"You will be able to marry Princess Nanchang in another year, then you will become a concubine, don't forget your own uncle!" Wang Fuchang slowly led the topic to his scheme.

Wang Haoran wanted to politely accept it, that is, to deal with it, but before the words could be spoken, he felt that something was wrong. The way to make a fortune after becoming a horse master, doesn't that mean the copper mine? It seems that this Wang Fuchang knows his own affairs in detail enough! was almost trapped, if he just accepted it casually, judging from the thickness of Wang Fuchang's face, he would definitely use this sentence as an excuse in the future to ask himself to give him some sweetness in the matter of the copper mine, this Wang family is really dangerous.

"What is the way to make money? The so-called horse master is just a name, he has no power in his hands, and he can't be a boy if he has a way to make money. Wang Haoran didn't mention the copper mine, to see how long Wang Fuchang could hold on.

"You can't say that, it's just that we are just merchants, but for you, the name of the emperor's relatives is power."

"Those tricks, the kid doesn't want to touch, the kid just wants to do a little business and is satisfied."

"You don't care about this name, but others do, and in the future, there will inevitably be people who nod and show favor to you at your name." Wang Haoran's words were a little respectful, but Wang Fuchang didn't care.

"Who knows what will come? It's still early. Wang Haoran is not sure if anyone will nod to himself because of this name in the future, but there is one in front of him, just supporting the posture of an elder?

"You have to know how to plan for a rainy day, such as the fact that Your Majesty promised you to mine copper mines, the benefits of which are so great that they will inevitably cause the eyes of many princes and ministers, and if you face it alone, you will definitely not be able to deal with it. However, you can first let the Wang family intervene and use the strength of the entire Wang family to deal with those princes and ministers, so as to keep your copper mines, otherwise those princes and ministers will be a little difficult, and you won't want to mine copper mines in peace. ”

Wang Furen on the side sneered, but he didn't interject, how could Wang Haoran not see Wang Fuchang's alarmist little trick? He also underestimated Wang Haoran too much, right? It's really like Wang Haoran is just a thirteen-year-old child.

"Don't worry about this, Your Majesty has already said that as long as the kid encounters a problem in this matter, you can go to him at any time to help. The kid has His Majesty's support, so why are you afraid of those princes and ministers? Wang Haoran said nonsense, with the idea of Wang Fuchang meddling in the copper mine.

"This ...... That couldn't be better. Wang Fuchang looked a little lost, how could he have thought that His Majesty would take such good care of Wang Haoran?

Suddenly, a noise of gongs and drums outside the door interrupted their conversation, and it seemed that it was already time. Everyone in the Wang family got up one after another, kneeling to the old man Wang Honggui from top to bottom to celebrate the New Year. And those who are not married can receive a New Year's money issued by Wang Honggui.

After everyone finished saluting one by one, Wang Honggui asked his subordinates to bring a large box of candy, and each child had a share. According to custom, everyone can't sleep tonight, and it's okay for adults, but for children, as long as they are sleepy and don't let him sleep, they will inevitably lose their temper and celebrate the New Year, which is very unlucky. Therefore, the elders will give out candy to the children, or do some other programs, so that the children's cheers can bring more excitement to the family, which means that in addition to being prosperous, it can also make these children more excited, and they will not be noisy to go to bed early.

The grandchildren of the Wang family were all excited when they saw the candy served, and in addition to receiving the New Year's money, this show made them look forward to it the most.

"Huh...... This year, Grandpa and I have prepared much more gum tooth dumplings for my grandchildren than before, in the past, it was six per person, but this time the rule has to be changed, you all have to guess how many gum teeth are in this basket, guess the closest six can get ten gum teeth, the closest one can also get a pack of Sumi cakes, and the rest can only get six gum teeth. ”

"Brother, I want Sumi cake." Jiao Ya is too sticky to his teeth, and Xiao Yu prefers to eat Su rice cake compared to this.

"Then my brother will win it for you." Wang Haoran said confidently that he had a way to guess the approximation.

"Shunquan, you can write down the number they guessed." Wang Honggui instructed Wang Shunquan.

"Yes."

Waiting for someone to bring Wang Shunquan a pen and paper, Wang Honggui asked his grandchildren to start guessing.

"80."

"120."

"140."

……

There are fourteen of Wang Haoran's generation, the oldest is twenty-three this year, and the youngest is Xiaoyu. In addition to Xiaoyu and himself, Wang Haoran has been silently calculating the sum of the numbers reported by others in his heart, and he has a way to get close to the numbers.

"Ba'er, what about you?" Everyone else finished reporting, and Wang Honggui said to Wang Haoran again.

Wang Haoran calculated the average of the numbers reported by the others before replying, "One hundred and twelve." ”

Everyone thought it was more or less funny, and others guessed that it was a full ten, but Wang Haoran was accurate to a single digit, how could this be done? But it's just a small game, so everyone didn't say much.

"Brother, how much should I report?" Xiao Yu asked quietly.

"Just about the same as me."

"Then I'll be one hundred and thirteen." Xiaoyu shouted to Wang Shunquan.

After the grandchildren finished counting, Wang Honggui asked his subordinates to bring a small basket to count, and when the next one was counted, everyone was stunned, one hundred and twelve! It is not bad with the number guessed by Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran was also surprised, the method of calculating the average is unlikely to get an accurate value, at most it can only get a value that is relatively close to the answer, which is too lucky.
