Chapter Forty-Eight: Big Trouble
Wang Haoran thought that if he stayed at home and hid for a few days, the discussion about himself outside would slowly calm down, but it backfired, and the more troublesome it became, the main reason was that it was because of the drought again, and many people pointed the finger at Wang Haoran, saying that he had caused the curse of God by wasting grain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Now Wang Haoran's "sin" is big. The people of the Tang Dynasty were very superstitious, and everything that could not be thought of would be thought of from the aspect of ghosts and gods, especially natural disasters, and even the emperor opened the altar to burn the edict of sin and conveyed it to the heavens during the last drought, which also shows that superstitious ideas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. (PS: According to historical records, the drought in the second and third years of Zhenguan is not made up by the writer.) )
In this drought, Li Shimin finally didn't have to eat grasshoppers anymore, because Wang Haoran helped him carry the black pot. Although this is not the result that Wang Haoran wants to see, but this matter is not up to him, the most poor and vicious people this year are counted as him, and Wang Haoran's "crime" happens to be related to food, in the eyes of the people, you can guess who is the culprit of this natural disaster without using a magic stick to divinate the divination.
The peasants who were busy fetching water and saving grain did not forget to curse Wang Haoran, and the literati who were worried about the country and the people even criticized Wang Haoran. The discussion intensified, and slowly began to affect his business, mainly the business of the liquor store and the car dealership was much darker. Other businesses have either not played Wang Haoran's signboard, or have become the daily necessities of Chang'an City and have not been affected. Later, the business of the Wang family and Xie Shengxing was also implicated.
Wang Fuchang couldn't sit still any longer, and rushed to the Wang family in Yiningfang to discuss countermeasures.
"Furen, think about what to do about this! If it goes on like this, how will our Wang family's business still be? When Wang Fuchang saw Wang Furen, he went straight to the point.
"And what can you do?" Wang Fuchang's careful thoughts, how could Wang Furen not see that there must be some ghost idea that came to the door to encourage him to do something.
Wang Fuchang knew that Wang Furen had always looked down on him, but he could still come to this younger brother when he had any difficulties, as long as he was thick-skinned enough, he could always ask for some benefits.
"You see that this can't be done, the Wang family will come forward to build a shrine in the West Market, Ba'er, just kneel there to apologize to God, and then implement the clan rules, it's just a meaning, just whip a few times......" Wang Fuchang naturally knows that Wang Furen loves Ba'er, otherwise, it will not be the concubine Ba'er who is engaged to the Xie family, but his eldest son Wang Qihong.
"Enough!" Wang Furen shouted, he couldn't listen to it anymore, Wang Furen's selfish image of his eldest brother in his heart successfully brushed to a new height, "Do you really dare to think that Ba'er is just an eleven-year-old child, can you bear to do this?" ”
"Isn't that a desperate move? Is there any other way you can do it? If you have something to say, you can't watch the Wang family's business collapse like this, right? "How could Wang Haoran's matter involve the great Wang family? It's just Wang Fuchang's exaggeration.
Wang Furen was silent, if this matter was allowed to develop, the Wang family's business would inevitably suffer a big blow. Business is not only done by the Wang family, if the Wang family's signboard is surpassed by other businesses because of this, then the future business will inevitably be much more difficult, and it is even possible that it will be squeezed to the point that it cannot be done in the end. But on the premise of not embarrassing Wang Haoran, he really couldn't think of any way.
Seeing that Wang Furen was silent, Wang Fuchang spoke again: "No, right? If there is another good way, how can I let Ba'er suffer this grievance? Anyway, he's my nephew! ”
"Get out! Get the hell out of here! Wang Furen roared, Wang Fuchang's hypocrisy made him feel disgusted.
"Daddy, just do as he says."
Wang Furen and Wang Fuchang were both shocked, looking for prestige, and it was Ba'er Wang Haoran who came in.
"Don't worry, Ba'er, your little thing is not like this." Wang Furen pretended to be calm.
"It's a trivial matter to burn your brows? It's rare for Ba'er to be so sensible, what are you hesitating about? When Wang Fuchang was disappointed, he saw a glimmer of hope, and suddenly came to his spirit again.
"I know what the situation is now, but I have a solution, so you can agree." Wang Haoran insisted.
"And what do you do?" Wang Furen's eyes lit up, and he didn't doubt Ba'er's intelligence.
"You agree first, and I'll tell you more about it then, and I want your help."
"Okay, I'll go and prepare the altar now, and I can sacrifice to the heavens tomorrow, so I'll go first." Wang Fuchang hurriedly interjected without waiting for Wang Furen to reply, for fear that Wang Furen would not agree, so he began to go out before he finished speaking.
"Humph!" Wang Furen snorted coldly at Wang Fuchang's back, turned around and said to Wang Haoran: "Tell me about your plan." ”
"Death and life!" Wang Haoran replied simply and clearly. Recently, Wang Haoran has also been troubled, not only has his business been hit, but even the servants of the Wang family who went out to buy vegetables almost couldn't buy vegetables, but fortunately, the servants often dealt with the vegetable seller, and the vegetable seller secretly sold the vegetables to the Wang family. But since Li Shimin can eat grasshoppers to solve the problem of people's hearts, he, a person in the 21st century, will never be helpless against the same problem, right? But it's useless for him to run to eat grasshoppers himself, he's just a miscellaneous breed, can he compare with the emperor? Maybe I went out and caught the grasshopper before I caught it, but I was caught by the people first.
"This ......" Wang Furen probably guessed Wang Haoran's plan, and said worriedly, "That's why you want me to promise that guy?" But it's too risky, and it's not necessarily useful. ”
"One altar alone will definitely not have much effect, and it needs to be added, and this is where I need your help."
"That's going to be ......"
"Master, Boss Xie is here." Before Wang Furen finished speaking, a doorman reported outside the door.
"Invite him in." Xie Shengxing must have come over at this time because of Wang Haoran's matter, and Wang Furen had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Brother Wang, eh, Haoran's virtuous nephew is also there? That's just right. Xie Shengxing hurriedly walked in, looking very impatient.
"I don't know why Brother Xie came here today?" Wang Furen said while beckoning Xie Shengxing to take a seat.
"What else can it be? Of course, it's for Haoran's nephew. ”
Wang Haoran was also nervous, could it be that this Xie Shengxing came to withdraw from his family? In that case...... Didn't you miss a beautiful embryo? Then Wang Haoran felt a little shameless about his thoughts, how could he think of women first on such a serious issue, instead of thinking about the Wang family's face first?
"Oh! The younger brother also heard that Ba'er's matter also implicated Brother Xie, I'm really sorry! It's all strange that the younger brother has no way to teach the child. Wang Furen apologized.
"What are these words, Haoran is my future son-in-law, what is implicated."
"That's that!" Wang Furen breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Xie Shengxing didn't come to withdraw from his relatives as he thought! "Now that the matter has come to this, I don't know what to do, little brother, I don't know if Brother Xie has a countermeasure?"
"The old man doesn't have any good way, it's like this, the old man also has a house in Puzhou, the old man is thinking, should I let Haoran Xian's nephew go there first to avoid the limelight, and then come back after the limelight is over?"
"That's a good idea!" Wang Furen hadn't thought of a way to let Wang Haoran leave the capital, but when Xie Shengxing said this, he thought of it, and looked back at Wang Haoran to see what his opinion was.
"Then thank you uncle, but this matter is not urgent, the little nephew needs to do something more before leaving." Wang Haoran respectfully saluted Xie Shengxing.
"Do you still want to complete your plan?" Wang Furen was surprised.
"That's right, I caused the disaster, how can I just leave it and leave the mess to the two elders?" When Wang Haoran said this, he was quite heroic and righteous.
"What's the strategy?" Xie Shengxing asked.
"Ba'er wants to put his death on the ground and come back to life, so as to solve our business problems." Wang Furen explained to Xie Shengxing that he didn't know exactly how it was operated, and Wang Haoran hadn't explained it to him in detail just now.
"Oh? How do you have to do that? Xie Shengxing was interested, he didn't care about the predicament in business, but he was curious about what Wang Haoran could do to save this dead game.
