Chapter 905: The Third Master of the Wan Family
"Wanjia!"
Seeing the steward of the Wan family leaving, Wang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly.
I don't know why, he has an intuition, Wan Jia called him over tonight, I'm afraid there will be no good feast.
Over the years, the Wang family has been protected by Concubine Wan, and business has been booming, if it makes everyone unhappy, it will not be fun.
"Wang Gongzi..."Looking at the deed of sale in Wang Xu's hand, the embroidered girl smiled with flowers.
"Don't think about these useless things."
Wang Xu snorted coldly and received the deed of sale into his sleeve.
The embroidered girl's deed of sale can't be given to her now, otherwise, she may not be able to cooperate with the acting.
However, if you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grazing, after Wang Xu accepted the deed of sale, he opened the money bag and took out a stack of silver tickets rolled together like toilet paper.
"Shhhhh
Seeing a large stack of silver tickets rolled together, not to mention the embroidery girl, even Zhang Xu and Zhang Xiaomei gasped.
It is true that the two were born in a family of eunuchs, but the Zhang family is not a big family, and their father, Zhang Minghuai, the governor of Caoyun, is a well-known Qing official inside and outside the court.
The Zhang brothers and sisters, although they are richer than ordinary people, don't even think about it if they want to say that they are like Wang Xu and carry a large roll of silver tickets with them.
"I haven't seen money, my eyes are about to pop out!"
Wang Xu glanced at Zhang Xu, counted out a hundred from the silver tickets, and stretched out his hand to hand it to the embroiderer: "Here is one million taels, I want you to use this money to buy a painting boat, the necessary manpower, and some gold and silver jewelry." ”
"So much?" The embroidery girl trembled and borrowed money, smelled the fragrance of ink on the silver ticket, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Wang Xu grabbed the embroidery girl's wrist, and the painful embroidery girl screamed again and again, and said: "You'd better be honest, since I dare to give you this money, I'm not afraid that you will run away." If you know each other, follow me and do it well, if this thing is done, your glory and wealth will be indispensable. ”
"You scratched me..."The embroidery girl's face was pale in pain, and after Wang Xu let go, a clear handprint was left on the white and tender wrist.
Looking at the embroidery girl who shook her hands and looked aggrieved, Wang Xu did not pity the fragrance and jade, but said in a deep voice: "You are not a person from the horse farm now, take Ning Qing with you in a while, go to buy a boat, buy people, and we will meet in Mingliju at night." ”
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing that what Wang Xu said was mysterious, Zhang Xiaomei couldn't help but ask.
Wang Xu didn't say anything deeply, just smiled: "Play a good show." ”
Zhang Xiaomei wanted to ask again, but Wang Xu had no interest in continuing to talk, after all, some things are better known to fewer people.
One afternoon, I turned around the racecourse, watched the singing and dancing, and in a blink of an eye it was evening.
Zhang Xu took his reluctant sister away, and Wang Xu took a carriage to Wanjia in the setting sun.
Wanjia...
Before Wan Guifei entered the palace, several members of the family were crowded under one roof, and no one in the township ever looked at it.
Who would have thought that today's saint went up and down the Yangtze River, met Wan Guifei in the city, and fell in love at first sight, so he brought Wan Guifei back to the palace.
started from a talented person, and in just a few years, she rose all the way to the concubine, and now she has given birth to a prince, which has the meaning of winning the queen's throne.
When Wan Guifei is rich, Wanjia will naturally be rich.
Wan Guifei's father was originally a subordinate who worked for long hours, but now his father is also a daughter and has become a national ruler with a good life.
Wan Guifei's elder brother was originally a sentry in the casino, but now he has become a national uncle who everyone is good friends with and never dares to offend.
Even the former dilapidated courtyard has now become a Jiangnan garden, which is built like the emperor's palace, and even the guards have become soldiers of Yangzhou Mansion.
"What a magnanimity!"
Looking at the magnificent Wanfu, Wang Xu secretly smacked his tongue: "The cost of building such a garden-style courtyard is probably hundreds of millions of taels of silver, not counting this land." ”
The yard is valuable, the land is even more valuable, and it is not possible to build such a garden-style mansion in Yangzhou Mansion, where every inch of land is valuable.
Just to build ten thousand mansions, hundreds of surrounding families have to move out, and the people who can live in the capital can be ordinary people?
A resettlement problem has left many people helpless, and it is not difficult to see the power of Wanjia from such a project.
I can't guarantee that this house of the Wan family has not spent a penny, and it is all the filial piety of the local chamber of commerce and local officials.
"Drive, drive!"
As he was walking, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind, and Wang Xu looked behind him to see a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses rushing from the street.
Cracking sound...
The vendors, the stalls, were bumped all the way by the teenager and came over.
The crowd exclaimed, and in contrast to the laughter of the teenagers.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The young man rode a high-headed horse, and the scenery was amazing, no different from the second generation in the later generations, in the early nineties, with police lights on the car, racing in the downtown area.
As soon as the smoke slipped away, the young man rode a horse and ran to the gate of Wanfu.
Seeing the boy coming, the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly knelt under the horse and let the boy step on his back and dismount.
"So majestic, this person is the third master of the Wan family, right?"
The second generation of the Wanjia family has produced a Wan Guifei, and they have all become grandfathers.
The third child of the Wan family is the younger brother of Wan Guifei, and he was born after Wan Guifei entered the palace and was favored.
Unlike Uncle Wan Guo and Concubine Wan Guifei, who have been suffering from snacks, Wan Sanye grew up in a honey pot since he was a child, and he is a very gentleman, which can be called the first gentleman in Yangzhou.
"Let me ask you, is that one named Wang Xu here?"
Wan Yu flew off the horse, raised the whip in his hand, and asked the soldiers at the door.
"If you go back to the third master, the prince has not yet arrived." The soldiers didn't dare to offend Wan Guifei's younger brother, and they scrambled to answer one by one.
"Okay, a dog raised by my family is actually bigger than the owner's pedigree, I must teach him a lesson today." Wan Yufei held a horsewhip and stood at the door and didn't leave, like a door god.
"Wan Sanye, are you waiting for someone?"
Wang Xu parked the carriage outside the Wanfu, walked to the gate of the mansion, and said when he was far away.
Wan Yufei heard someone call him, turned his head, looked at Wang Xu, who was wearing a white moonlight Confucian suit and had a dignified appearance, and looked up and down: "You are one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, Wang Xu, who is known as a poet?" ”
While speaking, Wan Yufei raised his horsewhip, as if as long as Wang Xu admitted it, he would be whipped down.
Wang Xu didn't leave three steps away, stood at the foot of the steps, looked at Wan Sanye, who was showing off his might, and said strangely: "According to the legend, Wan Sanye is kind and charitable, and he has three thousand friends, and he is the famous Xiao Meng in the south of the Yangtze River. Since Wan Sanye knows me, why don't you come down and make friends with me, but look aggressive, is the legend outside fake? ”
Wan Yufei didn't speak, raised his horsewhip, and looked at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu didn't give an inch, looking at him with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Wan Yufei laughed and said loudly: "Third Master, I love to make friends the most, but your Wang family is a dog that relies on my family, how can you be friends with me?" ”
Wang Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, the Wang family's business has been stable all these years, and it is true that they have relied on the protection of the Wan family, but without Zhang Butcher, can his Wang family still eat hairy pigs.
The Wang family is backed by 10,000 families, and gives 30 million taels of silver dividends every year, and the 10,000 families shelter the Wang family from the wind and rain, which is a win-win deal.
Speaking of which, there are many big families in the land south of the Yangtze River, and Wanjia is only one of them.
On the contrary, the Wang family's glass bead business is the only one for scorpion, and the Wang family has no choice.
"Wan Sanye has three thousand friends, dare to ask Wan Sanye, among your friends, is one of the four talents? If not, it means that those people are not as good as me, if I am a dog, what are those friends of yours, and what are you? ”
Wang Xu is an adult thinker, he will remember today's events in his heart, but he will not show it on his face, and he still says with a smile.
As for the four talents, they are just the land of Jiangnan, and the arrangement of the new generation of Shilin Junjie.
Wang Xu is famous for his poetry and books, known as the double masterpiece of poetry and books in the new generation, and is the one with the highest gold content among the four talents.
Wang Xu has also heard of the rest, and if he says it seriously, it is commonplace.
After all, every few years, the four talents are selected, and if there are more choices, the gold content will naturally be relatively low.
"What a sharp tooth, it seems that you are worthy of being my friend."
Wan Yufei threw away the horsewhip in his hand and said with a smile: "Come in, my eldest brother has something to do with you, don't let him wait for a long time." ”
Wang Xu's face did not move, and his heart was also relieved, fortunately, this Wan San Ye is not a pure man.
Otherwise, today's things will not be good, I can't say it, I have to teach her brother a lesson for Concubine Wan.
However, if he gets to that point, he will turn against the Wan family if he doesn't get it right, which is not what he wants to see.
"Bear with me for the time being, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Wanjia's gourd."
Wang Xu suppressed his mind and followed Wan Yu into the gate of the Wang family to meet the real head of the Wan family, Wan Guifei's eldest brother, Uncle Wan Guo.
