It didn't take much time for everyone to sit down, but they heard the sound of footsteps, and Han Deyi and Mrs. Han came to the flower hall together. Everyone hurriedly got up to salute the two, and only sat down again until Han Deyi and his wife were seated. And Zeng Zhilin, who was originally moving his muscles outside the door, after carefully observing the environment around the flower hall, had already taken the opportunity of everyone's salute to enter the door, and sat next to Qian Yuanshan casually.

Han Deyi and his wife were naturally happy when they saw their daughter coming back, and they talked with their daughter and son-in-law with joy. However, whether it is Wang Kunjun or Han Qingwen, their minds are not on idle chat at this time. So, after a few words of greeting, Wang Kunjun changed the topic, stood up and saluted the Han couple again: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and the son-in-law accompanied Qingwen back this time, firstly, to greet the second elder, and secondly, there is a major matter to report to the second elder. ”

Han Deyi and Mrs. Han couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when they saw that Wang Kunjun was speaking solemnly, and her daughter also became serious at this time, completely losing the joy she had just now. Han Deyi asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

Wang Kunjun hesitated slightly, subconsciously turned his head to look at Han Qingwen, and saw that his beloved wife was looking at him with encouraging eyes, and he had confidence in his heart. He adjusted his emotions and told his wife Zhang Xiaofei about his encounter in "Qingyuan", and then solemnly assured the Han couple that Han Qingwen's status would not be affected by this, she was still his official wife, and her status in the Wang family would never change because of Zhang Xiaofei's appearance. Of course, Wang Kunjun also showed Han Deyi and his wife that Zhang Xiaofei was his wife, and it was reasonable for him to give her up. Zuihou, Wang Kunjun sincerely asked the Han couple to forgive him and agree to his arrangement of Han Qingwen's identity. After Wang Kunjun finished speaking, he maintained the posture of saluting the Han couple and waiting for the other party's answer. For a while, the entire flower hall became silent, and even a needle on the ground could be heard clearly.

For Han Deyi and his wife, this news is no less than a bolt from the blue. I thought I had chosen a good husband for my daughter, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big change after being married for more than half a month. The woman who everyone thought had been buried in the sea not only did not die, but miraculously met her husband. In addition to complaining about creating and making people like this, this kind of thing can only comfort yourself with the phrase "there is providence in the dark".

After a while, Mrs. Han finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried softly, while Han Deyi didn't say a word, the expression on his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be weighing the pros and cons repeatedly. Such an expression also made Qian Yuanshan and the others vigilant, and secretly looked at each other to prevent changes. Fortunately, after being silent for a long time, Han Deyi finally just sighed heavily and said, "Providence, this is all Providence!" ”

Then, he said to Wang Kunjun, who had been bowing down: "Virtuous son-in-law, please get up, it's not your fault in this matter." Everything can only be blamed for making people, and everything is arranged by God. As for the statement of the main wife and the flat wife you just mentioned, although the old man has seen similar records in the history books before, they are all individual examples and cannot be recognized by ordinary people. Moreover, as a magistrate in charge of prisons, the old man is well versed in the laws of Liao and the southern countries, and he has never seen a rule in the law of any dynasty that allows a man to marry more than one official wife. ”

Wang Kunjun continued to plead with Han Deyi and his wife: "Father-in-law, as the saying goes, 'there is nothing more than human affection outside the law'. The law is dead, but man is alive. When the son-in-law married Qingwen, he was also a three-media six-woman, and carried her into the door with a big red sedan chair, which was seen by everyone who attended the wedding that day, who would dare to say that Qingwen was not the son-in-law's genuine wife. The son-in-law can swear to his father-in-law and mother-in-law here that in the future, Qingwen's status in my Wang family will not be any different from before, she will enjoy the same rights as his wife, and the children born to her will definitely have the status of sisters-in-law. If this oath is violated, the son-in-law will be sent by heaven. ”

At this time, Qian Yuanshan and others on the side also told Han Deyi and his wife that in the future, the two five sisters-in-law will be treated equally, and there will be no difference.

Wang Kunjun's words obviously played some role, and Han Deyi thought deeply again. At this time, Han Qingwen, who had not made a sound, stood up from her seat, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "Father, mother, since the day my daughter married her husband, she has decided to grow old with him and live a lifetime, I hope you can fulfill your daughter." ”

Seeing their daughter kneeling down and pleading, Han Deyi and his wife were a little confused, and hurriedly asked their daughter to get up and speak. But Han Qingwen was resolute and said that unless her parents agreed to her request, she would not be able to kneel for a long time. Wang Kunjun also said at this time: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, before coming to Youzhou, Zhang Xiaofei, the son-in-law's wife, once told the son-in-law that after she was separated from her son-in-law, she was taken in by a Taoist temple as a female Taoist priest. Although the husband and wife are now reunited, she has no interest in the world's interactions, and in the future, she hopes that Qingwen will take care of all the things she deals with outsiders. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, the son-in-law's wife is only Qingwen, and no one will say anything about her identity. ”

The daughter's pleading, the son-in-law's assurance, and the concessions and compromises made by the son-in-law's wife made Han Deyi and his wife unable to make a decision for a while, and the flower hall fell into silence again.

After a long while, Han Deyi spoke again, and said to Wang Kunjun in a helpless tone: "Since the virtuous son-in-law and your wife Zhang have made so many compromises and concessions, and Qingwen is so resolute, the old man has nothing to say. I just hope that the virtuous son-in-law and the Zhang family can keep their promise today, so that Qingwen can live happily. Let's talk ugly in front, if you break your promise, the old man will never give up. ”

Seeing that Han Deyi agreed to his request, Wang Kunjun naturally immediately said that he and his wife would definitely keep their promises and would never break their promises. A stone in Han Qingwen's heart finally fell to the ground, and she hurriedly kowtowed to her parents to thank her. Although Mrs. Han felt a little unwilling, she thought that her daughter would suffer a big loss. But Han Deyi had already agreed, she didn't want to say anything, so she also got up and left her seat at this time, and came over to help her daughter up. As Han Qingwen re-seated, the atmosphere in the flower hall gradually became harmonious. ,

Seeing that the problem had been basically solved, Wang Kunjun secretly glanced at Qian Yuanshan and asked him to find an excuse to go out and inform Yang Xin and Qingchen, who were in charge of guarding the radio station and machine gun, of the relevant situation, and then they would report it to the "Qingyuan" side to know, so that everyone could feel at ease. And Qian Yuanshan obviously put the requirements of Zhang Weixin and others in the first place before leaving, and he did not act immediately after being ordered by Wang Kunjun. He turned his head and whispered to Zeng Zhilin beside him, judged the current situation, and thought that there was no danger anymore, so he found an excuse to leave the flower hall and go to find Yang Xin and Qingchen.

When Qian Yuanshan returned to the flower hall, it was almost noon, and after Han Deyi chatted with Wang Kunjun and others for a few more words, he ordered his subordinates to set up a banquet in the flower hall and invited everyone to have a sumptuous lunch.

After lunch, Han Deyi went to the yamen to be on duty, Han Qingwen was dragged to the inner house by her mother to talk privately, leaving only Han Qingshu to chat with Wang Kunjun and others. The problem is that Han Qingshu is still just a child, although he is very educated, but after all, the age and experience are too different, and he can't talk to everyone who travels through at all. Therefore, after reluctantly speaking for a while, Wang Kunjun took everyone out of the Han Mansion under the pretext that his brothers were going to visit Youzhou City, and wandered around the city from Qingchen, who had come here.

At this time, although Youzhou City could not be compared with the familiar Beijing City, as one of the five capitals of Liao, it was far from being comparable to the small pattern of Liangxiang City. Both in terms of the size of the city and the number of pedestrians on the street, it is much more prosperous than Liangxiang City. The traversers walked through the streets and alleys under the leadership of Qingchen, and it took more than an hour to only visit a small part of the tour.

At the end of April of the lunar calendar, which is also the end of May of the solar calendar, the weather is already relatively hot. The traversers walked for more than an hour, and although they did not feel very tired, they were all a little thirsty. So, at the suggestion of Wang Kunjun, everyone entered a teahouse on the side of the road, ready to drink a few cups of tea and rest.

Wang Kunjun and the others found a seat and sat down under the greeting of the guy, and asked him for two pots of tea and a few snacks. After saying a few words, I saw a man in his thirties walking by from another table, approaching, bowing his hand slightly towards Wang Kunjun, and said, "Isn't this the shopkeeper of Fang Ji Jewelry Workshop?" It's been a long time, why do you have time to come to this Youzhou City today? ”

When Wang Kunjun first saw this person, he also felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. At this time, when I heard him call himself the shopkeeper of Fang Ji, I immediately remembered that this person was the steward named Feng Cheng who had bought their bottle of wine and two cups in the first place, and stayed in Xiao Siwen's mansion in Nanjing. So, he hurriedly stood up, hugged his fist at the other party and said, "It turned out to be Manager Feng, fortunately, fortunately." ”

Feng Cheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "What kind of manager, he is just a subordinate who runs errands for the left-behind adults." ”

Wang Kunjun knew that this Feng Cheng was Xiao Siwen's cronies, and dealing with him would be of great benefit to the team's future development in Youzhou, so he couldn't help but flatter: "Manager Feng is too humble. As the saying goes, a good 'prime minister' is a seven-rank official in front of the door, you are the head of the left-behind mansion, no matter how you say it, you have to be a fourth- or fifth-grade official! ”

Feng Cheng listened to Wang Kunjun's devotion very much, although he said that the shopkeeper Wang was really good at joking, the smile on his face was quite bright. Wang Kunjun took the opportunity to invite Feng Cheng to sit at the same table, drink tea and chat together. Feng Cheng was in a good mood, so naturally he did not refuse.

After Feng Cheng sat down, Wang Kunjun introduced several other people to each other one by one. Feng Cheng greeted everyone, and looked thoughtfully at the clothes of Wang Kunjun and the others, and then said with something in his words: "Shopkeeper Wang has made a fortune in trading recently, and this dress is very different from before. ”

Wang Kunjun naturally heard the meaning of Feng Cheng's words, and he understood that his clothes before and after had changed a lot, which made Feng Cheng doubt the origin of his money. Of course, what Feng Cheng suspected was not that he Wang Kunjun had done anything to kill people and oversell goods, and he didn't care about this kind of thing. The fundamental reason is probably that he had promised Feng Cheng and the big boss Cui Yongnian that once the maritime merchant came back with new glass products, he would cooperate with the two to sell them. And now he is well-dressed, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like he is rich. This Grand Governor Feng should have suspected that he had concealed the news that the maritime merchants had returned to Middle-earth from him, and he had monopolized the trading of glass products, cutting off a very good fortune for him.

So, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and said, "Manager Feng misunderstood, now he is just partnering with a few brothers to do some small business, and he is still far from making a fortune." ”

"Oh, Shopkeeper Wang is no longer working in Fang Ji now?" Feng Cheng asked.

Wang Kunjun explained: "Not bad. After the auction of those treasures, Boss Fang gave a lot of red envelopes because of the brothers under and below, so everyone gave a big red envelope. As soon as we put it all together, we felt that it was better to do it alone than to do it for others. So I quit my job at Fangji, set up two grain and rice shops together, and became my own boss. After doing this during this time, the trading is okay, and it can be regarded as making a little money. In order not to look shabby when discussing business with customers, he bought a few new clothes, which made Manager Feng smile. ”

When Feng Cheng heard that Wang Kunjun and the others had left Fang Ji, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he was not reconciled, he tried again: "I see. However, forgive Feng for what he said, Boss Wang, you don't do Fang Ji so haode jewelry trading, and change your career to sell food, it's really a bit of a sacrifice. ”

Feng Cheng's meaning Wang Kunjun was very clear, he pretended to look at the left and right mysteriously, leaned into Feng Cheng's ear, and said in a low voice: "I met with Manager Feng at first sight, and some things will not be hidden from Manager Feng." Although he left Fang Ji, he did not intend to give up such a lucrative business. Although he doesn't do anything in Fang Ji now, all the buying and selling transactions with the maritime merchant were handled in Xia, and the maritime merchant only recognizes him as the middleman. If that maritime merchant returns to Middle-earth, he will definitely be able to pull him to his side. ”

Wang Kunjun's words made Feng Cheng see the hope of making a fortune again, so he pretended to be very righteous and said: "Since Boss Wang doesn't treat Feng as an outsider, then Feng will also make Boss Wang a friend." In the future, if there is any use for Feng, just open your mouth. Although Feng is only a left-behind house manager, he can still say a few words in front of the left-behind adults. In addition, several shops under the name of the left-behind adults are also taken care of by Feng, and if Boss Wang has any good business that needs to be cooperated with others, he can also come to Feng. ”

Wang Kunjun saw that his words smoothly fooled Feng Cheng, so that the other party was no longer entangled in the Fang Ji Jewelry Workshop, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I can't cooperate with Mr. Feng, I can't ask for it." Zai Xia and several brothers are also interested in making the transaction in Youzhou City, and I am afraid that it will be a place to trouble Mr. Feng in the future. ”

Feng Cheng pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Everyone is a friend, so it's not troublesome to say anything." ”

At this time, both sides have basically achieved their goals, and then they began to chat. Wang Kunjun then found a suitable time and revealed that he had married Han Deyi's daughter. This news not only surprised Feng Cheng, but also made him more confident in Wang Kunjun's ability. In his opinion, the fact that a merchant can marry a young lady from a family of eunuchs, even if she is only a seventh-rank official, is definitely the most powerful manifestation of his ability.

Feng Cheng, who felt that he had gained a lot today, was in a very good mood, if it weren't for the fact that there were still many things to do, he might have been chatting with Wang Kunjun and the others. Even so, he chatted with Wang Kunjun and the others for at least half an hour before waving goodbye. Wang Kunjun and the others sent Feng Cheng away, and when they saw that it was not early, they also checked out the bill and left the teahouse and returned to Hanfu.
