Last night, a group of people went to Baiyuchi to take a bath, leaving themselves and Yan's mother at the inn, and now everyone is going out, but they left their master and servant, not to mention how depressed Xiaobei is. At this moment, even if the scenery of Yangzhou in April is just right, she is still very unhappy, even if many Huaiyang restaurants on the roadside are full of aroma, she has no appetite at all, and she actually lowered her head and kicked the stones on the ground to vent her anger. Yan's mother saw her aggrieved feelings, and finally sighed.

"The Wang family of Songming Mountain was in the generation of Mr. Nanming's grandfather, because of the prosperity of business, the people prospered, and a total of seven rooms were divided. Now living in Songmingshan is actually Wang Xiaoguan, as well as Mr. Nanming and Mr. Zhongyan Zhongjia, and the other five people have moved to Yangzhou to make a living from the salt industry.

Originally, they were working together to do business, but Mr. Nanming's grandfather died, his father retired, and their brothers were all successful in the imperial examination, so it was naturally impossible to do business, so the power fell into the hands of Wang Daomin, he monopolized the power, and the other four families wanted to fight but did not work together, and over time, Wang's salt industry in the two Huai was not as good as before. ”

This is what Yan's mother heard from Mrs. Su when she was in Huizhou, and she got up early this morning to find out, but it was another case: "What I said before about discussing the positive amount of salt and remaining salt in ten days is that Wang Daomin came forward to contact the Jin merchants and Jiangyou merchants, but all Hui people, when they talk about him, they are contemptuous and disdainful, after all, they don't have the ability to collude with outsiders if they don't have the ability to do it themselves, which has an extremely bad reputation." ”

Although Yan's mother seemed to be just talking directly, Xiaobei listened to it. Of course, I don't just think so. She happily grabbed Yan's mother's arm, and was about to be coquettish as always, but was gently patted on the head: "Be careful on the street." Don't forget that you're a man now! ”

Xiaobei hurriedly became honest. She didn't want to say goodbye to Wang Fulin, but although Yangzhou was good, it was really not interesting to hang out with Yan's mother like this, and she couldn't be idle by nature, so she really wanted to get some harvest quietly to scare someone. She asked more carefully, and learned that Yan's mother was extremely efficient in getting up early, and she touched the four-room residence and family situation of the Wang family. She was even happier.

"Then let's go to Wang Daomin's place first?"

Regarding Yan's mother's proposal, Xiaobei shook his head: "Since Wang Daomin is at the helm, Wang Fulin will definitely go to him first." Besides, since this person is stubborn and self-serving, what is my name now, and how can I reach him? Mom, the other four rooms of the Wang family are now in charge of the family or the family. What kind of personality are they? ”

Years of reproduction. The five rooms of the Wang family, who moved to Yangzhou, have already formed their own big families, and the people are more prosperous than the two rooms in Songming Mountain. After all, Wang Daokun's grandfather Wang Xuanyi is the branch, and only Wang Liangbin is still alive in the next generation, and the next generation is Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan's brothers, as well as Wang Daohui's cousin. In addition, Wang Xuanyi's third brother is even thinner, if it weren't for Wang Fulin accepting Jinbao as his adopted son, then there would only be Wang Daoyun and Wang Fulin father and son.

As for Kimble and his wolf-hearted brother. If it is really counted according to blood, it is actually Wang Daomin's grandson. Just because the ancestors were in the family at the beginning, they were left to work in Songming Mountain to farm, and over time, they didn't come back at all.

These miscellaneous and intricate relationships, not to mention that Wang Fulin didn't care about it before, he didn't understand it at all, and he didn't fully understand it until now, he only made an appointment to understand a few of the heads of the family, that's all. After all, when he hasn't been idle in the past two years, he will be taken to prepare for the field as soon as he is free, how can he have that time. And this time he came to Yangzhou completely because of the passing, and planned to come over to see if he could solve Wang Daokun's explanation, but since it happened to coincide with the meeting, Master Cheng provided him with a lot of valuable news, so he planned to give it a try.

These five-room people have long been separated, and there is no need to be separated, but the focus of his current work is whether he can pull people over.

Therefore, he didn't bother to find Wang Daomin at all, in his opinion, this guy has been spurned to death by the Hui merchants led by Master Cheng, and it is not worth bothering about this doomed guy. Among the remaining four people, he pulled a little, and according to Wang Liangbin's account, he pulled out a candidate from it.

Wang Daoman, the youngest of the seven brothers of the Wang family who started the business, is now twenty years old, his father passed away at an early age, and he stumbled in his studies and passed the examination, and then he was very self-aware that he would not continue the imperial examination, but planned to mix in the family business. However, although he is the same generation as Wang Daomin, but Wang Daoman, who is only half the age of the other party, has not been able to intervene in the salt industry at all, and has made several small mistakes in the previous deacon's year, although he was not as unlucky as Wang Fulin's father Wang Daoyun lost a large amount of silver, but the evaluation of poor management has gone viral, and it is said that he can't raise his head in the Yue family.

At this moment, standing in front of this house, Wang Fulin compared the magnificent scene of Master Cheng's house before, he had to sigh that Wang's family was not as good as before. The stone carving on the front door cover of this Hui-style house has been broken, not only that, but the black tile and white wall that should have been contrasting have many traces of repair, and the white wall seems to have not been painted for several years, which looks a little down. There is no full-time porter in front of the door, only a child sitting there teasing a lame puppy, this scene does not seem to be Yangzhou, but like in the countryside of Huizhou.

Wang Fulin instructed the others to find a restaurant nearby to sit idle, and he stepped forward to ask to see him, only saying that he was a member of the Wang clan in Songming Mountain, and he came here to meet his uncle. The boy in front of the door looked at him and understood, and after pulling his legs in and reporting it, he whispered when he came out: "The master will see you in the study, but you had better stay for a while, otherwise the wife will definitely come over when she knows, and there will be nothing good to say at that time." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Fulin knew that people regarded themselves as fighting the autumn wind. He didn't explain, but smiled and thanked him, and then went in with the boy. Sure enough, like the impression given by the outside of this house, the inside also looks a little old and mottled, the door curtain of the study is a half-old and not new spotted bamboo curtain, except for the main seat, there is only a chair inside, and the cloth has been washed white on the chair. As a junior, even if the age difference is a few years, he still has to salute and call his uncle, but he finds that Wang Daoman is thin and does not have much energy.

Wang Daoman did not ask Wang Fulin which house and which branch of the Wang clan was from Songming Mountain, nor did he have much reaction to Wang Fulin's apocryphal name Wang Shuangmu, after greetings, he carefully asked the clan about the Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship, spring ploughing and autumn harvest and other local customs, and only in the end did he smile bitterly: "The ancestors have moved to Yangzhou for a long time, I really want to move my family back, and the villagers have a good response." ”

"Who doesn't know that Yangzhou is the world's first-class rich land, and the countryside doesn't know how many villagers envy my uncle to settle in Yangzhou." Wang Fulin saw that there were shadows on the other side of the door curtain, as if there was a figure shaking, and deliberately spoke in the signature tone of a relative who played the autumn wind. As soon as the words fell, a sneer came from outside the door.

"That's it, the countryside and villagers all envy the wealth of Yangzhou, only people who have no interest will feel that the mountain and countryside are better than this Yangzhou rich nest!"

With these words, I saw a young woman in a garnet red dress enter the house. I saw a golden hairpin on her head, a bright hairpin hanging from her ears, and a jeweled collar around her neck, which looked jeweled, as if she was Mrs. Kuo. She glanced at Wang Fulin domineeringly, and then pouted at Wang Daoman.

"If you have the kung fu to receive these relatives of Songmingshan all day long, it is better to go to your fourth brother to talk softly and re-admit you to take charge of the business. Otherwise, if you can't study, you can't do business, what should you do with this family's food and drink? Where did you get the spare money to help this, thoughtful that, you forgot how much bonus silver was sent to your fourth brother this year? Four hundred taels, after dotting the New Year's ceremonies everywhere, it's not enough to even plug the gaps between your teeth! ”

As soon as these harsh words came out, Wang Daoman's face darkened, but his shoulders shook violently, obviously very angry. However, the young woman didn't feel anything excessive, and glanced at Wang Fulin and turned her head away. When she dropped the bamboo curtain, she didn't forget to sneer: "If you don't go to ask the fourth brother, then go and help my father, my father happens to have a silk shop where the shopkeeper has just resigned." ”

As soon as the people left, Wang Fulin saw Wang Daoman sitting there weakly, and only after a long time did he smile and said: "She is this temper that makes the virtuous nephew laugh." ”

Most of the women Wang Fulin had seen before were her husband's virtuous helpers, but it was the first time she had seen such an unrelenting woman. He was silent for a moment and then asked, "I heard that my uncle has no children under his knees?" ”

This question suddenly touched Wang Daoman's heart again. Although he knew that he shouldn't reveal this in front of his relatives, his wife's hurtful words just now really disappointed him, and he couldn't help muttering: "She dislikes me for achieving nothing, saying that she has children and suffers, so she still refuses to ...... If this continues, then according to her will, let her go away! ”

Wang Fulin remembered that in these years, even the widow had to be pointed at and poked, but he didn't expect this young woman to have such a meaning because she disliked her husband. Although he was persuaded to leave, he was not interested in taking care of other people's family affairs, so he got up and went to the door, and saw that no one was eavesdropping at this time, he knew that the young woman had already looked down on herself, and she was unwilling to waste that energy, so she smiled slightly and turned back to the edge of the desk.

"Uncle, my nephew just forgot to report to his family. Shuangmu is the name of the nephew, in the lower pine mountain Wang Fulin, the father of the family is secretive. ”

Wang Daoyun's son? The son of Wang Daoyun, who was deceived by someone and lost countless losses, or Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan's brothers helped fill the deficit, so they slipped back to Songming Mountain?

Wang Daoman looked at Wang Fulin in amazement, and suddenly thought of the old things in Huizhou mentioned when Wang Daoguan tried to pass through Yangzhou last time. If he remembers correctly, Wang Daoyun is a scholar who is even more pedantic than him, but there is a son who makes Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan brothers praise endlessly, and is a well-known son in Huizhou, who is the little boy in front of him?
