In later generations, the Yangtze River and the Han River separated the three towns of Wuhan, which was Hanyang, Hankou and Wuchang. Nowadays, Hanyang Mansion and Wuchang Mansion are across the river, divided into several counties, and Hankou Town, which has risen less than a hundred years ago, is still subordinate to Hanyang Prefecture, which is far from being able to be compared with the two prefectures, but the degree of wealth is not bad. Because there are no bridges across the river in later generations, Wang Fulin rushed from Hankou Town to Hanyang County Ya in the morning, and the group was taking a boat by water and riding a horse by land, and when they arrived at Wuchang Mansion, it was almost in the afternoon, and even lunch was eaten casually on the road.

At the beginning of the governor's establishment, it was co-located with the political secretary, and after Jingtai Tianshun, the governors of various places gradually opened their offices and built offices, and worked independently, which made many provincial cities in addition to the three divisions of the yamen, and there was more of a governor's yamen. Outside the gate, there are two arches of Fu'an and calm, at this moment, when Bao Shucheng, who is the head snake of the land, came to the gate with everyone, I saw a long sedan chair and carriage parked here, and some of the sedan chair drivers were talking there, all of them were the accents of the six counties of Huizhou, and the pomp was quite sufficient.

In contrast, Wang Fulin's line of people rode horses and walked, which looked much simpler. Bao Shucheng, in line with his duty as a guide, said with a smile: "Wang Buyuan has just taken office, because he is a native of She County, Huizhou, so all the big Hui businessmen who do business in Hankou Town want to meet him, but Wang Buyuan is a simple person, most of them politely declined, and few of them were able to enter the house. ”

When he said this, he naturally reminded Wang Fulin euphemistically, but he didn't expect that the young man didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't get off the horse until the front of the gate. directly handed over a famous thorn. He was full of thought that the iron-masked man promoted by the new governor would definitely be neither humble nor arrogant, and return the name thorn. Then say a few words to keep people out. Unexpectedly, the other party took it in his hand and looked at it again, but he pinched something in his hand, and asked politely and respectfully: "This is indeed the famous thorn of Wang Minyuan, I don't know if the son is ......."

"Please also report on your behalf, and say that your nephew is visiting."

The man didn't dare to slack off, and after returning the famous thorn to Wang Fulin, he hurriedly slipped in. And looking at this scene, Bao Shucheng is also good. A sedan car waiting along the root of the wall is good, I don't know how many curtains and curtains are opened, and someone looks at this side of the car. After a while, the man ran back, and said with his forked hand: "This son, Wang Buyuan is invited." ”

Wang Fulin left all his entourage outside, and entered the sect alone. On the way from Huizhou to Hankou before, whenever he encountered the kind of person who deliberately made things difficult, he would take out Wang Daokun's famous thorn as a deterrent, and at this time, he felt that this fox fake tiger was easy to use. But wait until you see the second gate. When he found a smiling person waiting for him, he was surprised. Hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't my uncle go back to Songming Mountain?" When did you come back? ”

"You are comfortable all the way, it is an official road, and it is the waterway of the Yangtze River, safe and stable. I was miserable, going over the mountains and mountains all the way to the path, walking later than you, arriving earlier than you. Wang Daoguan smiled and patted Wang Fulin on the shoulder, and led him in kindly, "Look at you like this, did you arrive yesterday or today......

Seeing that Second Master Wang greeted him in person, and heard Wang Fulin call him uncle, he immediately realized that this was not only a relative of the new governor of Huguang, but also an extremely close relative. If it weren't for Wang Daoguan personally greeting him, maybe he would have mistakenly thought that Wang Daokun's son was coming. However, when he returned to the gate, he closed his mouth and did not say a word in the face of many inquiring eyes. After all, it was because of his good conduct that Wang Daokun would use him, and he was particularly generous with an extra five taels of silver per month, although this money was less than that of ordinary oil-rubbing menzi, but fortunately, there was no need to worry about it.

Wang Fulin and Wang Daoguan walked and talked all the way, and when they entered the deepest study, he saw Wang Daokun. Since the summer tax silk turmoil reached its maximum, Wang Daokun has been reinstated as the governor of Yunyang, and now it has been exactly a year old, but Wang Daokun looks a little thinner than the years of the mountain residence. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but this time he laughed and called out to his uncle.

Wang Daoguan remembered that Wang Fulin used to call his eldest brother Mr. Nanming, and this uncle was called strangely, and immediately quipped: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Come on, is it possible that you are here to talk to the eldest brother today about favors, or to clear the way for others? ”

"Uncle, it seems that the little nephew has never done such a thing, right?" Wang Fulin was not at all stunned by Wang Daoguan, an uncle who did not look like an elder, and glanced at him angrily, so he said bluntly, "I went to Hanyang County Ya this morning, but I heard a lot of rumors that surprised me, so I didn't dare to go to see my father directly, but came to ask my uncle about it, uncle, since you are also here, it would be better." What's going on with my father, he knows that his uncle has taken office and has not been seen, and besides, doesn't he know what happened in Huizhou? ”

In the face of Wang Fulin's obviously full of questions, Rao is Wang Daokun didn't know how many ups and downs he had seen in his life, and he was still a little hesitant how to answer. After all, before he and his younger brother and cousin took office in Yunyang, the huge Wang family of Songmingshan was actually Wang Fulin, who was less than 15 years old at that time, and took care of all the things, including Hu Zongxian's fifth anniversary death. Therefore, he had quite high hopes for Wang Fulin, but when he thought of his father Wang Daoyun, he couldn't help but have a headache. In the end, it was Wang Daoguan who opened his mouth first.

"Flin, your father's ...... How can you say it...... "After all, he is a peer, and Wang Daoguan is an unscrupulous and crazy person, so he simply decided to tell the truth," he is a person, he is good to say, but not good, that is, pedantic, too unsociable, in the past, this was the case in the Songming Mountain Wang, when he was in Lianghuai to run the salt industry, and when he ran to Hankou, it was still like this. After the eldest brother took office, he inspected Hanyang Mansion, and he originally planned to meet him, but by the way, he also wanted people to know that the eldest brother had such a clan brother there, who knew that he was hiding. Forget it if you hid, and specially sent a letter, saying that the seven thousand taels of silver had not been paid off, and there was no face to see the eldest brother. ”

Speaking of which. Wang Daoguan was already angry and funny: "As for the matter of Huizhou." Big brother sends him a letter on your behalf every time. He sent people down in a few words, and if you didn't say it in the letter, then no one would have told him that he didn't have much contact with the merchants and travelers of the Hui Gang. As far as I know, your mother had no choice but to leave your brothers and sisters behind to stay in Hanyang, but she really didn't worry about his lonely but offending nature. ”

Wang Fulin suddenly sighed deeply. Since he had known that his father was so unreliable and his self-esteem was very strong, how could he show off his achievements in a letter before? Case. It seems that Wang Daoyun really doesn't know anything, and since others see him put on such a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, I'm afraid it won't be much. Therefore, Wang Xiaoguan, who has always been known as the most ghost ideas, rubs his chin at this time, and really doesn't know what to do next. If it's an irrelevant person, he doesn't have to think too much about it at all, the problem is that the father who can crush him immobile in terms of etiquette!

It's the same as he now has complete control over Jinbao's life and death.

If people are simply heinous scumbags, it's fine, but Wang Daoyun just has a problem with his personality and doing things. Nothing else. And the mother Wu is obviously a person who cares about her children very much, as evidenced by the three sets of clothes, shoes and socks. Or. The next dose of fierce medicine, along with the rejection of Daddy by those people in Hanyang County, dig a pit for people to jump? The method is feasible, but the specific way to do it is debatable, otherwise, with Wang Daoyun's personality, he will not return to his hometown if he is afraid of dying of shame......

Wang Daokun saw Wang Fulin's annoyed look with frowning eyebrows, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw Wang Daoguan put his finger on his lips and signaled him not to make a sound. remembered that Wang Daoguan said that Wang Fulin once regarded him as an idler swimming in the wild, and he stayed on the shore for three days, and the two of them studied under Mr. Fang, and the relationship was very familiar, so he was simply happy to watch the excitement. Sure enough, after a while, he saw Wang Fulin standing up: "Uncle, if you want to persuade my father to go back, I'm afraid I have to think of a way, I want to borrow someone from you." ”

"Who?"

"Lend me Uncle Zhongyan." Wang Fulin was stunned when he saw Wang Daoguan, so he said with a smile, "There are some things that I, a junior, can't say, and I'm afraid that I will ask my uncle to help me get out of the horse when the time comes." Besides, I have some business matters that I want to discuss with my uncle. ”

Although Wang Daokun said that he should pay equal attention to agriculture and commerce, he was an official after all, and it was impossible for him to do business in person, and his younger brother Wang Daoguan and cousin Wang Daohui were all first-class in poetry and writing, but they were not good at taking care of general affairs, so they could only watch Songmingshan Wang's share in the Lianghuai salt industry decline day by day. Although he didn't want Wang Fulin, who had a good brain and was able to make a breakthrough in his career, to be distracted too much in business and delay the imperial examination, he finally looked at Wang Daoguan and said: "Zhongyan, since this is the case, you will give Fu Lin a detailed reference." ”

From watching the lively people to doing things, Wang Daoguan was very annoyed, but Wang Fulin only repaid the family's 7,000 taels of silver, and Wang Fulin also made it clear to his father Wang Liangbin that he would pay back an interest at the end of the year, and he was not too embarrassed. When Wang Fulin reported a few more words and got up to leave, when he said hello to Wang Daokun and sent people out, he complained: "How can you call your uncle's nephew like this!" ”

"Who told you to spoil my father, uncle?"

Wang Fulin's muttering voice was very low, so low that it was difficult to hear clearly, but he believed that Wang Daoguan must have heard it: "I owe so much silver but don't collect debts, so my father has sold salt in Hankou over the years, and he has almost lost money on other people's money-making business." After he recovered from his illness, he stopped doing business, and you still didn't collect debts, so he went to be Mr. Doorman again, to tell the truth, how did this job come about, I think it is really debatable, but he even offended the proprietor and his colleagues to a fine light. Therefore, I want to bother my uncle for nothing else, but to ask my uncle to come forward and go to my father to collect the debt. ”

Wang Daoguan didn't know how many people he had met in the past 20 years, but for the first time he found that he had lived a little in vain. When the son has already paid off the debt to the creditor for his father, and now he wants the creditor to force the debt from the father? Wang Fulin, what kind of hellish logic is this?

PS: Don't mention it for the time being, it's a personality issue. It is said that some of the best relatives are really used to being used, and if you meet his requirements again and again, he will intensify again and again, and this kind of person will not be pumped! (To be continued......)
