Chapter 343: Relative or Enemy?
Wang Fulin knew that there were a lot of people at the front door of the governor's yamen, where they were willing to go out with Wang Daoguan like this to be watched. In addition, it was getting late at the moment, and the famous Wang Daoguan was likely to be recognized in the kind of place where Hui merchants gathered in Hankou Town, so he made an appointment with Wang Daoguan to meet at the teahouse near the Hanyang County Ya tomorrow afternoon, and then led by Wang Daoguan's entourage, he quietly took a carriage out of the back door.
Although as the official office of the governor of Huguang, most of the people who came to visit were crowded at the front door, and there were also those who drilled the camp at the back door to watch, but they were blocked, so naturally they couldn't come up, so they could only watch Wang Fulin get into the carriage and drive out of the narrow alley.
As for Bao Shucheng and the other entourages who were waiting at the front door, after receiving the message from the door, they left immediately, so that the visitors who were waiting for Wang Fulin to come out and want to find out what was going on were not disappointed. Some people even wondered, where did this relative come from, Wang Daokun actually left people in the official office?
Bao Shucheng also wanted to know what was going on, so when he accompanied Wang Fulin back to the hostel on Xin'an Street in Hankou Town, he asked those entourages what the relationship between Wang Fulin and Wang Daokun was, but everyone was tight-lipped, but he became more and more curious. Knowing that Wang Fulin would not go out that night, he simply rushed to the inn early the next morning and waited. When I accompanied Wang Fulin and his party to the teahouse near the Ya of Hanyang County again, I waited for a short time, and saw a young man in a green shirt with two entourages coming in with a smile, and then saw Wang Fulin and others got up to greet each other, most of the entourages called the second master, and Bao Shucheng's heart jumped suddenly.
Wang Daokun's two younger brothers are known as Erzhong, with outstanding literary names, and they are the second in the family. Could it be that this second master is one of them? Therefore. Hearing Wang Fulin call him uncle. He thought of the previous experience in Hanyang County, and the surprise and astonishment in his heart were not to mention. Could it be that Master Wang, who is obviously not welcomed, is really a relative of Wang Daokun, the governor of Huguang?
The reason why Bao Shucheng came to the door today, Wang Fulin didn't drive people away, he was worried about what this seemingly smart guy realized. Rather than letting people spoil their own affairs at that time, it is better to take them with you, and maybe they can come in handy. Yesterday in the governor's yamen, he and Wang Daoguan basically finalized all kinds of situations. Although Wang Daoguan was very reluctant to come forward to be this wicked person, he could hear Wang Fulin sigh and say that Wang Daoyun ran into a wall everywhere in the Hanyang County Ya but still wanted to save face and suffer crimes, he could only agree after thinking about it. At this moment, he couldn't help but lower his voice again and asked.
"No matter what, your father is my brother, do you really want me to be a brother?"
"Otherwise, when will he return home?" Wang Fulin told Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei how they missed their parents, and then they gave up their hands again and again, and said in a low voice, "And." Only your uncle can play this kind of play well and grasp the proportions. From the Hanyang County Order to the master and his two sons. Since they all hate my dad, they will most likely see an opportunity to drive people away, and the next thing is up to me. In short, this time I owe my uncle a great favor, and after solving this matter, we will discuss another major business matter. ”
"Okay, okay, I owe you!" Wang Daoguan said this in his mouth, but he knew in his heart that Wang Fulin was charging for the Wang clan of Songming Mountain in front of him, and solved the things that his eldest brother Wang Daokun could not come forward to do, and he should also help with this favor. However, it is too difficult for him, a person who is not very involved in shopping malls, to come forward to ask for accounts. Wang Fulin, this kid, must have done it on purpose!
In the west wing of the east courtyard of the official house of Yazhi County, Hanyang County, Wu was looking at the letter he brought yesterday again and again, and his eyes gradually turned red. She left Huizhou for the first time in her life, and left her young children for the first time, but she left for more than a year, and her son's letters have been brought several times, but she doesn't know when she will be able to go back. Although Wang Fulin reported good news in the letter, and her husband also hated to associate with those fellow villagers, she secretly asked someone to go out to inquire about some news, although she didn't know the details, but she also knew that during her and her husband's absence, a lot of things happened at home, if she could, she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly back.
But the husband is so reassuring! If it weren't for her to find out that Zhou County, the Lingzhou County Zun of Hanyang County, was looking for a gentleman for the two sons in the family, so she hid it from her husband and asked someone to say it, how could anyone come to the door and invite Wang Daoyun to go to the museum? But Wang Daoyun is good, he has been trying his best to get rid of the relationship with Wang Daokun, and even when the new governor of Huguang came to Hanyang Mansion to inspect, he simply hid out, which is good, the two masters who are respected by the county even spread behind their backs, saying that her husband and Wang Daokun have no relatives but have a grudge!
If this continues, the Hanyang County Ya will not be able to stay any longer. The family owes Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan brothers the seven thousand taels of silver, how can they pay it back?
Just when Wu was secretly worried, the door babbled, she quickly turned her back to wipe the corners of her eyes, and when she looked up, it was Wang Daoyun who entered the house with her hands behind her back. Despite the nonchalant smile on his face, she could clearly see the bits of ink that hadn't been completely wiped clean. Knowing that the two sons of the Zhou County Zun family were obedient in front of them, but they were making things difficult for Wang Daoyun in every way, but Wang Daoyun didn't know anything else except to reprimand him with a straight face, but her self-esteem was too strong, so she could only pretend to be unaware and get up to meet her.
"Mother Long took Xiaoju to go shopping, you've been in class for so long, I'll make a pot of tea."
"Lady don't have to work hard." Wang Daoyun stopped Wu, hesitated for a moment before smiling, "It's not a cold day, just drink some cold water." ”
He spoke as if he were light, but Wu was keenly aware of the extraneous sounds. The other two masters didn't bring any family members, only the girl who warmed the bed, so the meals were all made in the kitchen of the county magistrate, and the water could only be burned there. Hearing this, the kitchen over there seemed to refuse to give even a little hot water, which was obviously forcing them to leave. Seeing that Wang Daoyun took a book and sat on the corner of the bed and read it, her eyes were obviously absent-minded, she was angry and anxious, but she knew that just saying it would have the opposite effect, so she had to bite her lip and quickly think about what else to do.
At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside: "Master Wang is not there?" There are your relatives coming to find you. ”
Relatives?
This noun, which was already a little unfamiliar, made Wang Daoyun stunned. Although the Wang family of Songmingshan has a large population, in addition to farming or studying locally, only Wang Daokun is an official outside, and as for doing business, they are all concentrated in Lianghuai as a salt merchant, which is also the reason why he chose to go to Hankou Town. At this moment, his face changed for a while, and he wanted to excuse himself for being unwell, but he was fine with his students in the morning, so how could he avoid his relatives?
"Let's go check it out." Wu knew what he was thinking when he saw Wang Daoyun like this, so he could only persuade him tactfully, "Otherwise, others are only afraid of gossiping about you." ”
What Wang Daoyun couldn't stand the most was being gossiped about, so he immediately dropped the book and Huo Ran stood up. When he tidied up his clothes and pretended to be calm and went out, he saw a person standing in the courtyard that he had not expected in any way! Seeing that he was accompanied by Liu Qian, Master Qian, who had always been sneering at him, he finally showed a very reluctant smile: "Zhongyan, why are you here?" ”
"If I don't come, does Brother Yun plan to hide from my brother all the time?" Wang Daoguan stepped forward with a smile. Today, because of Wang Fulin's request, he brought another outfit, which he just changed into in the teahouse. He is not very ostentatious on weekdays, he is wearing a Gaochun Luo scarf on his head at the moment, wearing a big red and bright robe of a thousand bells of Su Wei brocade, and a pair of Arhats on his feet, if it is those who are familiar with him, they will definitely be stunned when they see him dressed like this, but Wang Daoyun, who has been deliberately avoiding him, certainly does not belong to the category of acquaintances, and at this time he only feels that the other party is rich and powerful, and he looks more and more cramped.
Liu Qian, the master of Qian Gu on the side, took the initiative to receive him because he learned that the relative who came to find Master Wang at the back door of the official party was covered in silk and satin, and he looked obviously worth an extraordinary value, so he took the initiative to receive him, and the biggest worry was that Wang Daoyun was not as poor as he seemed on the surface, but he still had a powerful relative to back him. At this moment, when he heard the two words of the two coming and going, he tasted the taste of this so-called relative, and immediately deliberately pouted: "Master Wang is too, there are relatives from afar, how can they stand in the courtyard and talk?" By the way, your house is too cramped, why don't you go to my place and talk, of course, don't worry, I will avoid it. ”
The seven thousand taels of debt pressed on his body, and the last thing Wang Daoyun wanted to see was Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan's brothers, but now that he saw it, he was afraid that people would think that he was deliberately defaulting on the debt, so he was ridiculed by Wang Daoguan, and his face immediately turned blue and white. And when he heard Liu Qian's words, he was even more uncomfortable, and in the end, he was a ghost who made him hold back a few words.
"Zhongyan, don't worry, I have always kept that account in mind, and not a penny of money will be missing you. If I can't do it, and my son, my son can't do it, and my grandson will definitely pay it back to you! ”
Wang Daoguan didn't expect that he didn't have to pretend to be a villain to collect debts, Wang Daoyun, a stupid goose, actually uncovered this stubble directly in front of outsiders, and he was angry and funny. What else do you say that not a penny will be missing you, dare to love that you are not that sure at all, and you have already thought about relying on your children and grandchildren to repay the debt? Fortunately, Wang Fulin's kid has a good job, otherwise he would have to be unlucky to die of such an unreliable father!
Glimpsing Liu Qian on the side pricking up his ears to listen to them, Wang Daoguan deliberately smiled and said, "Why does Brother Yun treat me as a debt collector?" It's only seven thousand taels of silver, how can my eldest brother and I take it to heart. ”
Seven thousand taels!
Liu Qian's color suddenly changed, and Wang Daoyun didn't dare to raise his head anymore. Behind the door of the west wing, Wu saw this scene through the crack in the door, and almost couldn't help but want to rush out, but finally forcibly endured it.
What can she say to Wang Daoguan, people didn't mention that she came to ask for debts, but her husband took the initiative to mention it. The second master of Songming Mountain Wang has always been ignorant of general affairs, this is famous, how can Wang Daoguan be blamed? (To be continued......)
