Fujia Tao Zhu, Lingnan Wei. If the Yan family is the richest man in Jiangnan, then the most eye-catching Lingnan, which occupies the south of Daheng and seems to be wild but gradually emerging, is the Wei family.

The so-called endowment of the world, salt profit is half, when Daheng was first built, the wind of selling illegal salt at the end of Qi was rampant, especially in the coastal land near Liangguang, the land is dangerous and remote, the local residents make a living by selling smuggled salt all the year round, and sometimes even the people of the whole village go out to sell back and forth.

When Emperor Heng ascended the throne, he ordered all the salts to be strictly investigated and arrested, at that time, Lingnan Wei's was the largest seaborne seafood merchant in the south, sitting on a number of salt mountains, and the Liangguang Xuanfu envoy sent the first to go to Wei's place to investigate, but found that all the salt mountains under Wei's name, none of them were sold privately, all of them were piled up neatly, and the salt quality was crystal clear and delicate compared to the general private salt, without impurities, and the extraction process was far ahead of many official salt farms.

Immediately, Wei's head proposed to the Liangguang Xuanfu envoy to hand over all the salt mountains to the imperial court, and Wei's opened a salt factory to supply high-quality salt to the imperial court, and Wei's collected 5% of the proceeds, and the imperial court needed to exempt all the fields and seafood under his name for 30 years.

When Emperor Heng heard this, he not only agreed to Wei's proposal, but also gave them a plaque of "good businessmen in the world", which also greatly opened Wei's business road, and in recent years, it has been on a par with Jiangnan Yan's trend.

Although Yan Du didn't know the people of the Wei clan, but when he heard this Wei Huan say that he was from the south and was a businessman, it was difficult not to think of the Lingnan Wei clan.

"I take the liberty of asking, Brother Wei, are you from the Lingnan Wei clan?"

When Wei Huan heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but his hand to collect the firewood did not stop: "Distant relatives." ”

"If I were the rich family of Wei, I wouldn't have to run all the way!" Wei Huan said as he bundled up the firewood cut by Yan Duan one by one, his white hands were full of ashes, and he might have swung it violently when he chopped firewood, and a few green strands were thrown out of his hair, stained with sweat on his face, so he was not embarrassed.

Yan Dusk looked at his poor and sour appearance steadily, and didn't want to guess anything, whether it was or not, it was none of her business.

Raising his hand, he continued to swing the axe, and the wood was chopped neatly, and by the time Aunt Shizuhiko came to check, they had already cut all the wood.

"You two are weird!" Aunt Shizuhiko looked at the two of them with interest, one tall and one short, the tall eyebrows and clear eyes, the short ones with red lips and white teeth, the tall and weak scholars, they could only do the work of collecting firewood, and the short ones were the strength, and they cut down the wood that was enough for a few days.

"Shizuhiko is here!" Wei Huan, a scholar who knows how to read eyes, saw that someone came to monitor their work, so he worked more energetically, and after listening to it, he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and also looked at the comer.

"I'm tired, it's a big day today, and I see that Li Fu's little brother is sweating." Aunt Shizuhiko looked at them with a smile, with a hint of satisfaction with these two coolies in her eyes: "I brought some porridge and vegetables, hurry up and go to the well to fetch some water to clean my hands, and rest and eat something!" ”

Hearing this, Yan Du touched his shriveled stomach, and after a morning of work, he was really hungry. I wanted to step forward and take the basket of vegetables, who knew that Wei Huan had already stepped forward to take it with joy, and said with a relaxed face:

"I'll just do some small work, chopping wood, let Li Gong, my son-in-law do it!"

Yan Duan looked at Wei Huan without amusement, this guy is still pretending, is there an entourage that is more squeamish than the son? She didn't look at Wei Huan either, and thanked Aunt Jingyan directly: "Thank you, Monk Jingyan!" ”

After Aunt Shizuhiko left, Wei Huan brought up the well water, this guy was also weak, holding a slightly heavier basin of water, and his walk was a little unsteady, and the water splashed in it, flying straight to his clear face.

Yan Du looked at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but laugh "poof", Wei Huan was not annoyed, just honestly put the basin next to Yan Dui, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, wash your hands and eat!" ”

Yan Du generously scooped some water to wash her hands, and then arched some water with both hands and splashed it on her face, the slightest wisp of coldness instantly made the warmth of the fine sweat fade, making her have to smile comfortably.

Wei Huan, who was squatting opposite Yan Dusk, supported his cheeks with both hands, and looked at the transparent water that wet Fang Yingting's eyebrows in a daze, blinded her clear eyes, and froze a little on her thick and slender eyelashes, and with the blink of her eyes, she suddenly slid down to her fair face.

It is really like a grub, with teeth like a rhinoceros, a moth with a moth eyebrow, a clever smile, and beautiful eyes.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Yan Du glanced at Wei Huan, who was distracted, and then raked the porridge, chewing pickles in his mouth and asked.

Wei Huan looked at the speaker intently when he heard the voice, and saw that she was eating and drinking porridge without a trace of manners, and the image of a talented beauty was like a flash in the pan.

"Alas!" Wei Huan sighed deeply: "Of course I want to eat." ”

——

On the top of the moon, fortunately on a sunny day, several young Taoist aunts in the Peach Blossom View were chattering, and they couldn't help but run outside the house to enjoy the coolness.

After a day of work, Yan Duan also felt a little tired, so he sat on the stone chair in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and bent it like a bow.

When the day arrives at the full moon, let's talk about reunion again.

"Brother Li, why are you so interested?" Yan Dui's room is connected to Wei Huan, both in a courtyard, as soon as Wei Huan pushes the door open, he sees her wearing a Taoist robe, sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon.

Yan Duan turned his head to look at Wei Huan, he still had a book in his hand, and he should have been reading the paper in the room.

"The Taoist aunts went to bathe together, worried that there would be colored embryos taking the opportunity to peep, so I asked me to stay here and not let you approach." Yan Dusk's eyebrows were raised triumphantly, and there was a hint of ridicule in her smiling eyes.

When Wei Huan heard this, he couldn't help but scratch his sideburns, and he was angry in his heart, when did he become a lustful person, but his face was still hearty: "Xiaosheng, I haven't married a wife yet, Brother Li, don't make fun of me." ”

Yan Du smiled and bowed his head: "Just kidding." She looked at the book in Wei Huan's hand, which was the "Chinese" written by Zuo Qiu Ming in the Spring and Autumn Period, and thought about what he said about going to Beijing to take the exam.

"The palace exam will only be taken in February next year, why did Brother Wei come out so early?"

Yan Du was puzzled, the imperial examination is held in each state every autumn, and in the spring of the second year, the examination is conducted by the Ministry of Rites.

Wei Huan was not embarrassed when he saw that his statement was overturned, but when he saw the other party's burning eyes, he had to say honestly: "I was afraid that you would not save me before, so I said big things in a hurry, but Brother Li can rest assured, Wei will definitely be able to pass the state exam and go to Beijing to face the saint!" ”

It turned out to be a white-faced scholar who loves to talk big!

Yan Du supported the stone table with one hand with great interest, stared at Wei Huan and said, "So, why don't you stay at home and prepare for the state exam?" ”

In fact, Yan Du was not an eventful person, but he was a little angry when he was fooled by this Wei Huan three or four times, so he broke the casserole and asked in the end.

"I originally wanted to go to Shudi to visit my childhood sweetheart who had just recovered from a long illness, and I wanted to take a walk through the six canals, so I went around and came to Huainan." Wei Huan did not hide it, and bluntly stated his destination.

"That's a bit of a winding." Yan Du said bluntly, but he intuitively felt that this guy was not lying: "Shangjing Face Saint, do you want to be the champion?" ”

As soon as he thought of what Wei Huan said, Yan Du could string together the cause and effect, he said that he had not yet married a wife, and there was a childhood sweetheart waiting for him in Shudi, who should want to get the champion, return to his hometown and marry again!

Wei Huan smiled frankly, nodded, and saw him slowly sit opposite Yan Dui, and said, "I am not only to be an official, but also to see if this Emperor Hui is worth following." ”

A cool breeze blew through the vine-hung yard, and the verdant leaves swayed faintly in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Yan Du looked at the person in front of him in surprise, these words, if you say it, you will be killed!

"When you see each other, you can tell the difference?" Yan Du suddenly felt that Wei Huan was a kind of person, and it was also a little interesting.

"Yes!"

Wei Huan looked at Shang Yan's black and white eyes, and said confidently: "I, Wei Huan, have always looked at people very accurately, such as you, I can see that you are deeply hidden, you are young but dare to ride the world, you should be a first-class knight!" ”

Yan Du listened to Wei Huan's words, and suddenly his eyes widened slightly, and then smiled lightly, squinted at those eyes with autumn water, and looked straight at Wei Huan: "Then Li Fu will accept Brother Wei's false praise!" ”

Thinking of Ying Hui, the fact that she had taken the Meiqi Tiger Fu jumped into her mind again, she thought, probably if Wei Huan could really see Ying Hui, she would be disappointed!

"There are clouds in the "Chinese": straight does not supplement the song, the Ming does not irregularize, the arch wood is not dangerous, and the pine and cypress do not give birth. I don't know how Brother Wei understands it? ”

Wei Huan listened to Yan Duan's endless question, and instantly guessed what he wanted to express: "An upright person cannot assist in the evil song, a wise minister cannot admonish the king of darkness, tall trees cannot grow in dangerous places, and pines and cypresses cannot grow in low-lying and damp places." ”

Li Fu wanted to say that Ying Hui was by no means a Mingjun. In fact, himself, the people of the entire Daheng, didn't think so!

But he's probably not quite the same:

"If an upright person cannot assist in the evil song, then I will not assist him! A wise minister can't admonish the king of darkness, so I'll keep my mouth shut! Takagi can't grow in dangerous places, so I'll find a safe nest! Pines and cypresses can not grow in low-lying and damp places, but pines and cypresses have nowhere to take root, and they are dead both horizontally and vertically. ”

"What do you think of this?"

Yan Du quietly listened to Wei Huan's answer, this person's way of doing things turned out to be exactly the same as her father!

Thinking of Master Zhuang, how could Yan Duan not know that he was struggling to support himself, being an idler in the treacherous court was by no means so easy to be, and presumably the depression in his father's heart was nowhere to apply.

In fact, Daddy is not like Wei Huan, he is growing in the dark, and then planting good soil!

"This is a wonderful solution!"

She had to nod her head, her eyes full of relief and understanding. Wei Huan is willing to reveal so much to herself, it should be when she is a friend!

A first-class chivalrous person, she doesn't dare to be it, but she has the responsibility to protect the people who hope for peace in the world!!

On this road, there is not only him Wei Huan, but also her Li Fu!
