Donghai County belongs to Chuzhou, under the jurisdiction of five counties, Weiyang, Pingjiang, Jiyang, Huating, Pinghu, of which Weiyang County is the largest, Weiyang County ranks the fifth of the top ten male counties in the world, for the county of Donghai County, the circumference of the city is 60 li, the household registration is more than 200,000, there are millions of permanent residents, and nearly 500,000 merchants and homeless people from all over the empire come here to make a living.

Wu Jin walked into the county seat with a box, and as soon as he entered the city gate, a noisy and lively atmosphere came to his face, and people came and went on the street, which was particularly lively.

There are Fuso people who are short in stature, wearing hats and sackcloth; There are Koreans who wear high hats and have a round face, and they are obviously small countries but always think they are big countries; There are also men and women who wear pigtails, narrow sleeved leather jackets, bloomers, and dark skin from the Western Regions, and even merchants from the Luohan Empire in the Western Continent, who are quite conspicuous with blue eyes and high noses.

Of course, at most, it is the merchants of the country, men like to wear white or cyan brocade robes, belts, black leather boots, gauze hats or hats, while women are dressed in colorful colors, wearing narrow sleeves and short shirts, red silk on the shoulders, and long skirts of various colors, red, purple, yellow, and green compete for beauty, and the long skirts are mostly tied under the armpits, which makes the figure beautiful and slender.

The Daning Dynasty has been established for 300 years, and although it has been weakened, the broad-minded Han nation has always stood proudly in the world and is admired by all countries in the world.

Wujin inquired all the way and came to a three-way intersection, he looked around, and others told him that the Huangfu Mansion was near here, but there were many mansions in this area, but he didn't know where the Huangfu Mansion was? He looked around and saw an old woman sitting in front of a shop embroidering brocade, so he stepped forward and bowed down and smiled, "Auntie, where is the palace of the emperor's family?" ”

When the old woman saw that he knew the courtesy, she liked it in her heart, so she smiled and pointed to a large mansion a mile away with a needle, "Look, isn't that it?" ”

"Thank you, auntie!"

Wu Jin saluted and turned around to leave, when a surprised voice suddenly came from behind him, "You... Are you Wujin? ”

As soon as Wu Jin turned around, he saw a middle-aged man standing behind him, with a round face, a round belly, a pair of squinted eyes, and a small pair of eyes, full of surprise, he walked forward quickly, looking Wu Jin up and down, "It's really Wu Jin!" Don't you know me? ”

Wu Jin scratched the back of his head, as if he was a little impressed, but he couldn't remember, where did he remember how many clansmen he had in this stupid big man he possessed? He only remembered that his parents died early, and it was his brother who brought him up, and seven years ago he was handed over by his grandfather to an old drunkard and taken to Qidi to learn martial arts.

The middle-aged man sighed secretly, sure enough, he was still a second fool, after so many years, he hadn't changed at all, "Have you forgotten?" I'm your fifth uncle! ”

"You're... Fifth uncle? ”

"It's me! It's me! ”

Seeing that he finally recognized himself, the fifth uncle immediately patted his arm affectionately, "Hehe! You have grown into a young man, seven years ago you were ten years old, and you were only my eyebrows, and now you are a head taller than me, and you are so strong, your cousin Zhongyong is as thin as a bean sprout. ”

The fifth uncle's name is Huangfu Gui, he is the uncle of Wujin, Wujin's heart is warm and coaxing, the enthusiasm of the fifth uncle makes him feel a trace of family affection, and he also remembers a little that there is such a fifth uncle.

"Fifth uncle, are you still in charge of the inn?"

"No, I've been transferred to manage the pawnshop early, the pawnshop of the Huangfu family is booming, but I'm too busy."

Huang Fugui glanced proudly at the pawnshop across the road, the pawnshop was very large, people came in and out, and the sign on it read the words 'Huangfu Ji'.

"Huh! A small shopkeeper is not enough to hang teeth. ”

At this moment, he waved to a passing carriage and shouted, "Carriage! ”

Carriage 'quack! Stopped, he took Wu Jin's arm and smiled: "Go!" Come back to the house with me. ”

Wu Jin looked at the Huangfu mansion a mile away with some surprise, "Fifth uncle, are you still riding in a carriage so close?" ”

"You don't understand, this is a matter of face, we are the descendants of the family, and walking is the business of the concubines, so we must always remember our identity."

He pulled the car door and got into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Besides, the government allows us to pay for the car, so we don't have to use it in vain." ”

Wu Jin was pulled into the carriage by him, the wide and soft seat reminded him of the sofa of the later life, he was rescued from the shipwreck, he was sleeping on the boat board, he had never sat on such a comfortable chair, his back couldn't help but twist twice.

"Fifth uncle, what is the concubine line? What is the Shushu system? He remembered what he had just said.

"Ahem! Didn't I tell you that when you were a kid? Your father and I are concubines, but your grandfather is a concubine of the main house, so we call it a concubine, and the status in the family is second only to the concubine, and the most unqualified is the concubine, and the ancestors are concubines, so it's over. ”

Speaking of this, Huangfu Gui glanced at the gray cloth robe on Wu Jin's body, couldn't help straightening his waist, pulled the satin robe on his body, and asked him with a cough: "Wu Jin, you have mixed well in Qizhou over the years, right?" ”

Wu Jin smiled: "Fifth uncle, I have been running sea ships all these years. ”

Long 'oh! With a sigh, Huang Fugui couldn't help but be a little proud, "Then you can't compare to my Zhong Yong, Zhong Yong entered the county tax department Cao last month, that is a golden rice bowl, every day there are people who eat and drink well and are filial, and they have a good life!" Wu Jin! It's not useful to be a buddy, you have to learn from your big brother. ”

Wu Jin smiled and hurriedly asked him, "How is my eldest brother?" ”

"Your eldest brother is naturally very good, but he has been in a bit of trouble lately."

Wu Jin was stunned, and was about to ask again, but the carriage stopped, and he had already arrived at the Huangfu mansion, and the fifth uncle took out ten yuan, handed it to the coachman and whispered: "Please, give Zhang 30 Wen a ticket!" ”

"Shopkeeper, you are too ruthless, I have to pay an extra two cents tax for a ticket of 30 yuan, and give a ticket of 20 yuan!"

"I'll pay for you with two cents of tax money, and give you a ticket of thirty cents!"

Huang Fugui took out two more cents and stuffed them to him, and couldn't help but say that he snatched the ticket from the coachman's hand, winked at Wu Jin, and smiled proudly, "The house can reimburse the fare of up to thirty wen, don't do it in vain." ”

Wu Jin felt a little incredible, it turned out that there are invoices in this world, and there are also people who take advantage of the loopholes of invoices, just like the future generations! He became more and more interested in the world.

He jumped down from the carriage and saw a huge mansion appear in front of him, the mansion covers an area of nearly 100 acres, and more than a dozen wide eaves are exposed from the high wall, which is the mansion of the Huangfu family in Huaiyang County.

The Huangfu family is actually a partial branch of the imperial family of the Daning Empire, the first monarch of the Daning Empire, Huangfu Tie Li, added the yellow robe three hundred years ago, replaced the Great Zhou Dynasty, and founded the Daning Empire, after three hundred years of long years, the children of the Huangfu clan have multiplied to hundreds of thousands of people, and the branches are complex and abnormal, and only the officials of the Zongzheng Temple can find out.

There is only this branch of the Huangfu clan in Donghai County, so it is called the Donghai Huangfu clan, the Donghai Huangfu clan is the descendant of the king of Danyang County two hundred years ago, and it is far away from the direct royal family of the empire, and it belongs to the side branches, but the Donghai Huangfu clan has made a fortune because of overseas trade, coupled with a large population, it is squeezed into one of the major clans in Huaiyang County.

The big families in Huaiyang County are popular in the castle city, that is, the mansion is built into a castle style, there is a deep moat river outside, and the same is true of the Huangfu mansion, the whole family lives together with hundreds of people, surrounded by high walls, and a moat river is dug outside, and only a small bridge is connected to the outside world.

When Wu Jin arrived, it was almost dinner time, and the open space outside the small bridge was full of small stalls and vendors, selling vegetables and cooked food, all kinds of novelty gadgets, people came and went, and it was lively and noisy.

"Weiming!"

Huang Fugui suddenly saw a young man in a green robe in front of a kite stall and shouted and beckoned to him.

Wujin was a little stunned, Wei Ming was his eldest brother's name, and he saw that the man turned around, it was his eldest brother, Huangfu Weiming, and he was very impressed.

Wujin's brother is called Huangfu Weiming, ten years older than him, is the second grandson of Huangfu's family, because his father is a concubine, so his family status is not high, now he is teaching in the family's school, he is buying kites for his two children, suddenly heard someone shouting him, turned around, saw that it was the fifth uncle, and smiled at him, but his smile gradually disappeared, he saw Wujin next to the fifth uncle.

"Wu Jin!"

He shouted in a low voice, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was his own brother Wu Jin, although after seven years, Wu Jin had grown up Chengren, but he still recognized it at a glance.

He threw down the kite and walked forward quickly, "Big brother! Blood is thicker than water, a kind of family affection in Wujin's bones is born, he also strode forward, the brothers hugged each other tightly, and the people around them talked about it, and asked Huang Fugui one after another, Huang Fugui waved his hand and smiled: "This is my nephew is back, he is mixing well outside, hehe!" Better than my family. ”

Huangfu Weiming looked his brother up and down, saw that he was half a head taller than himself, as strong as a cow, and remembered that he was sent to Qizhou for discipline when he was ten years old because of an accident, and now that his brothers are reunited again, he was full of joy in his heart, his eyes were a little red, and his voice choked and said: "Wujin, you have finally grown up Chengren." ”

Although Wujin at this time is no longer the Wujin of the past, his family affection makes him very excited in his heart, and he nodded: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for seven years, but you haven't changed at all." ”

Huangfugui next to him smiled and said, "Okay, bring Wujin back, I won't care about the rest, I'll go back first." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Five!" The brothers hurriedly thanked him.

Huang Fugui waved his hand, turned around and left, at this time, the kite seller shouted, "Hey! Do you want your kite anymore? ”

Huangfu Weiming hurriedly smiled at his brother and said: "You wait for me, I'll buy a kite, I have promised your nephew and niece a long time ago, and it happens to be sold today." ”

Wu Jin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It turns out that the eldest brother already has two children, I thought the eldest brother was not married!" ”

"Wasn't I engaged when you left?"

Huangfu Weiming knew that his brother had been a little stupid since he was a child, and he didn't remember his surname well, so he didn't care, so he explained with a smile, "Your sister-in-law has a stomach and gave birth to a pair of twin brothers and sisters, the elder brother is called Luo Luo, and the younger sister is called Duoduo, and Huaiyang County and even the entire Donghai County are also this pair." ”

When it came to the child, Wu Jin remembered that there should be a meeting gift, and he hurriedly touched his body, and there were exactly two sea pearls the size of pigeon eggs on his body, so he was relieved.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The golden-eyed Pixiu is here!" ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads, and saw a few people riding horses not far away, led by a young man in a white robe, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with his head held high, complacent, his face was as white as jade, and he was handsome, but his eyes were very large, and his eyes looked a little frivolous.

This person's name is Huangfu Zhuoyu, is the second grandson of the Huangfu family in the East China Sea, he is one year younger than Huangfu Weiming, but because he is a descendant, so the second grandson on the family tree of Huangfu in the East China Sea is him instead of Huangfu Weiming, according to the rules of the Huangfu family, when you see your sons-in-law, you have to bow your head and salute to show your honor.

Huangfu Weiming pulled his brother behind him, but he didn't bow his head, Huangfu Zhuoyu stopped in front of him, and pouted disdainfully, "Isn't it great to be admitted to the Gongjushi?" I don't even recognize the rules of the family. ”

Huangfu Weiming smiled slightly, "You remember wrong!" The rules of the family are that those who have achieved fame can be exempted from the peer ceremony, and the third paragraph of Article 14 of the family rules is to take a look! ”

"I'm going to see it, of course."

Huangfu Zhuoyu snorted, he suddenly saw Wu Jin, so tall and strong, he couldn't help but show a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, "Isn't this a second fool?" What, you're back from jail? ”

Wu Jin smiled faintly and ignored him, in his memory, it was this person who played with fire and burned the ancestral hall, but he planted him and gave him a beating, and he was sent to Qizhou for seven years, but at this time, Wu Jin was no longer the second fool in the past, and this kind of person did not need to pay attention to him.

Seeing that Wujin ignored him, Huangfu Zhuoyu showed a vicious smile on his face, leaned down and whispered to him: "Silly boy, do you want us to play the game of burning the vine armor army again?" ”

There was a string of burn scars on Wu Jin's back, he didn't know the origin, it turned out that this bastard framed him, he couldn't help but sneer, "Okay! I'm with you. ”

"What an idiot! You see, he's still that idiot! ”

Huangfu Zhuoyu laughed, he laughed for a long time, except for a few of his entourage laughing, no one echoed him, he was a little embarrassed, so he smiled, and said to Huangfu Weiming: "I advise you to give up that seat, otherwise you will have your good fruit to eat." ”

Huangfu Weiming didn't say a word, Huangfu Zhuoyu touched a soft nail, he snorted fiercely, and urged the horse to enter the mansion.

When he walked away, the bridgehead became lively again, and Huangfu Weiming paid the kite money, so he pulled his brother and smiled: "Go!" Come home with me, we're going to have a drink today. ”

After entering the mansion, Wu Jin asked the eldest brother: "Who was that just now, I can't remember his name." ”

"He is the second son of the second uncle, named Zhuoyu, who went to the capital seven years ago, the so-called study, and only came back last year, a sloppy son."

"And what does he mean by position? It seems to be threatening Big Brother. ”

Huangfu Weiming looked at both sides, and when he saw people coming and going, he lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you when I go home, it's inconvenient here." ”
