From the Yangtze River to the Hanshui River before, and finally came to Xin'an Wharf to moor, Wang Fulin found that the wharf occupied by the Hui Gang was really large-scale, far better than other merchant wharves with various flags. Or, in this period, all the wharves of other merchant gangs are added together, and they are not as good as the Hui merchants. Therefore, it is normal for some people to covet Xin'an Pier. As a newcomer to the Hui Gang for the first time, he naturally heard it, but he didn't take it too seriously, Shi Shiran went downstairs.

He had just arrived in Hankou in the afternoon, and after dinner at this time, it naturally didn't matter if he walked around Hankou Town, where there was no curfew, but it was too late to go to Hanyang Mansion or Wuchang Mansion, the capital of Huguang. And because of some consideration, he didn't send someone to post first, but prepared to talk about it early tomorrow morning. In the evening, he also went to Shanshan Street, which specializes in furs, and selected a few good skins, so that Bao Shucheng, who was a guide and broker, made a small profit. But when he returned to the inn, he couldn't sleep. After all, even if he was really frightened by his parents who had never met, he still had to bite the bullet to see him.

If you bear the flesh of others, you must repay the cause and effect of others, which is a more truthful truth than paying off debts!

Early the next morning, after freshening up and having breakfast, Wang Fulin waited for Bao Shucheng. Hearing that he was going to Hanyang County Ya, which is across the water, to find relatives, Bao Shucheng was quite surprised, no matter how he thought about it, he really couldn't remember that there was a famous person surnamed Wang in Hanyang County. And although he only accompanied Wang Fulin for half a day yesterday, he could already see that this little official was quite skilled and experienced in both talking and dealing with people, and he could teach such a son. Apparently it won't be an ordinary family. So. Originally, he was 100,000 careful, and he accompanied him to Hanyang County today. It is also cautious and attentive all the way.

The Hanyang County Ya, which is an annex to the prefecture city, is located in the south of the prefecture, and its regulations are no different from many county yas, except that there is no bunch of lawsuits in front of the Yinxian yamen. Wang Fulin did not rush over to inquire directly, but asked Bao Shucheng to come forward and call a helper who claimed to be proficient in the situation of the county government, and then called someone to the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, six plates of candied fruits and snacks. In order to avoid his unreliable dad doing something unreliable here. He deliberately put Bao Shucheng on another table and chatted with the gang himself.

The idle people only thought that Wang Fulin was going to Hanyang County to do something, so naturally he first talked about Zhou Xianzun, and then the county chief bookkeeper and the warden made a little stroke, but he was not stingy with the heads of the three classes and six rooms. Wang Fulin also listened to it with relish, and finally asked as if inadvertently: "Where is Zhou Xianzun from?" When you took office in Hanyang County, did you bring your master? ”

"Speaking of which, who doesn't know that Hu Guangmin is fierce, so our Zhou County Zun is really prepared, and he brought a total of two masters." The gang laughed and cocked up two fingers. Looking around, I got closer. "These two are also well-known Shaoxing masters, one is in charge of Qian Gu, the other is in charge of the criminal name, and they are capable, and none of the three classes and six rooms can fool them, so Zhou County's order is forbidden, and it can be regarded as a well-known strong order in the local magistrate over the years."

Wang Fulin has seen a rookie county like Ye Cannon in Shexian County, and a lazy county like Chen County in Yin County, and now he has finally seen a shrewd and strong cadre who brought two masters to take office, but he was impressed by this Zhou County Zun. He knows very well that his father is a fake person, and it is impossible for him to become a master of Shaoxing, and he doesn't think that his father can be equated with the four words of shrewdness and ability, these two masters are obviously not his fathers. Therefore, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then did this Zhou Xianzun bring his family to office?" ”

Otherwise, how could Dad be like Master Li teaching Ye Xiaopang, and make a job as a gentleman?

"Of course I brought it, Zhou Xianzun's family is said to be a big Cantonese businessman, and he has two sons around him, both of whom are still in the general corner, so he specially invited a doorman Mr. Wang. Although Master Wang is just a showman, his knowledge is not bad, but he is too pedantic, and the two sons have even been subjected to his ring ruler because of their stubbornness, and I heard that even the left and right hands around Zhou Xianzun, Master Liu and Master Ma have a bad relationship with him. It's just that he can't rub sand in his eyes, and he likes to point fingers when he sees something, and the people in the third class and six rooms are all annoyed by him. ”

Daddy really just wants to save face on the letter!

Wang Fulin has long known that his father is unreliable, but he still behaves like this under the fence, and he is really depressed. As soon as he thought of inviting such a person back to Huizhou to offer, he would probably point fingers at him in the future, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he felt a kind of madness in his heart. However, when he came, he couldn't retreat, and he pretended to be curious as soon as his eyes rolled: "Then Zhou Xianzun didn't think about driving this Master Wang away?" ”

"Why don't you want to?" The idle people didn't notice the strangeness that flashed on Wang Fulin's face, and said with a smile, "I heard that this Master Wang is a Hui person, Master Liu and Master Ma are still worried that he has a connection with those Hui Gang merchants in Hankou Town, who knows that he also worked as a salt merchant at the beginning, but people come from Yangzhou to sell salt, and sell twenty or thirty wen a catty, but he only sells ten wen, and he also has a word that businessmen should be kind, and they are pointed at and scolded half to death by those merchants who also sell salt." As a result, he worked hard to go back and forth in Hankou, Yangzhou, but barely made any money, and stopped doing business after having a serious illness last year, so he came to be Mr. Gate for the county. ”

Well, there is one more thing to add to pedantry, and that is self-righteousness......

Wang Fulin didn't hold out any hope anymore, but just barely bothered to listen to the gossip of the idle stars. Including how Master Ma and Master Liu secretly cheated, so that Master Wang lost the favor of the county; Including how the two sons teased this Mr. Gate, and how did the next person show this Master Wang's face...... At first, Wang Fulin was very uninterested in his father's pedantic and old-fashioned, but when he heard that people were being bullied like this, his heart gradually became angry, and in the end, his voice couldn't help but bring out a little anger: "Since this Master Wang is a Sheren, and the new Huguang Governor Wang Buyuan is also a Sheren, no one thought that they might be relatives?" ”

"How is that possible?" The gang shrugged their shoulders without thinking about it, casually picked up a pine pulp and threw it into their mouths, and smiled nonchalantly, "If it is my own family, as soon as Wang Buyuan takes office, that Master Wang should go to visit, but no one said anything at all." Not only that, when Wang Buyuan inspected Hanyang Mansion before, he also deliberately avoided it. If you want me to say, either you don't know each other, or even if you have a little connection, it's a grudge, otherwise why is this? Moreover, since Master Wang arrived in Hanyang County, he has never been to Hankou Town to see the Hui Gang, and I think he has a unique temperament. ”

Seeing that these idlers also used an idiom smartly, Wang Fulin twitched the corners of his mouth, but he really couldn't laugh. He rubbed his brows in annoyance, thought about it, and finally decided not to go straight to the point, but to send someone to deliver a letter and see how Daddy reacted. He immediately sent away the idle people, and asked the teahouse shopkeeper for a pen and paper, and he did it overnight. When the handwriting was dry, he called an attendant over. The person was personally selected by the manager Xie who Cheng Naixuan lent him at the beginning, and he was very capable, even if Wang Fulin said that he would pretend to be from Huizhou to deliver the letter, don't mention that he had arrived in Hanyang Mansion, and the person didn't ask much, and immediately hurried away.

Although Bao Shucheng sat at another table, he could observe his words and look at both words and expressions, and pricked up his ears to listen, and vaguely realized that the search for relatives that Wang Fulin was talking about was probably looking for the master Wang who was very good at being a person! Although I don't know what the relationship between the two is, I can see from Wang Fulin's approach that this little official obviously didn't plan to meet people in person after hearing about Master Wang's situation. Think about it, this person has to rely on relatives to help him when he goes to a different place, but if he is an unreliable relative, he can't help but will cause trouble, which is really boring. So, Wang Fulin didn't call him away, he thought about getting the reward, so he made up his mind to wait.

This tea was drunk until almost noon, everyone poured a stomach of water, and the tea was soaked to light and tasteless, but fortunately, Wang Fulin did not hesitate to order a lot of small snacks, but he did not worry about an empty stomach. Just when Wang Fulin felt that he was really a little impatient when the flowers were gone, the person who had just gone finally came back, not only holding a letter in the shape of a reply, but also a small package.

He walked quickly to Wang Fulin, put the things on the table, and saw Wang Fulin raise his hand to signal him to sit down opposite, so he had to go over and sit, so he lowered his voice and said: "Little official, after the little one sent the letter, the old man didn't say a word after looking at it, and it took a while to say that he was staying well here in Hanyang and didn't want to go back." The little one tried to persuade a few words, but he couldn't listen to it, and then he threw his hands and went into the house, or Lao An invited the little one to talk in the courtyard, and asked him to bring these things back to the little official and the two girls, saying that she made the clothes, shoes and socks with her own hands. ”

Wang Fulin nodded stiffly, then opened the baggage, and saw that there were indeed three sets of clothes, shoes and socks, two of which belonged to Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei, and one set of his own. Although it is not satin, but Songjiang cloth, the stitches are fine, which shows the thought of this needlework. He rubbed these things for a long time before he opened his father's reply to him. Don't look at it, don't worry about it, and when he looks at it, he brows stand up.

Just now, the idle people had clearly said how unpopular Wang Daoyun was in the Hanyang County Yali, but Wang Daoyun still talked about how he got the trust of the proprietor and how the two students respected, and finally told him to study hard and live a good life at home with his two sisters, claiming that he had asked Wang Daokun to let the family take more care. Although when he brought a letter to his father before, he did not mention how the family prospered, so as not to make people feel frustrated, but Hankou Hanyang and Wuchang should be a lot of Hui merchants, and this father really doesn't know anything about the situation at home?

He thought about it, and finally the fire general came up, and re-wrapped the burden after dividing it by two, and then stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the governor's yamen, and go to visit Mr. Nanming first!" ”

PS: Have you ever seen the configuration of ten girls and one boy in a high school reunion? When I think of the poor classmate the night before, I feel hilarious, because another boy in charge of positioning and organization has unfortunately gone on a business trip and released everyone's pigeons. At dinner, even the waiter joked that the boy was the party secretary ^_^ (to be continued......
