Chapter 51 Arrival
The Wang family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Den.
Wang Shouye sat at the table, with the light on, page by page, and stayed up all night flipping through the account book.
The ledgers were many and thick, and contained a whole large wooden box.
Inside is the account book of the Wang family's income and expenditure in the past five years, including various industries, illegal salt, and even seafood.
To his left is a roster of books, which record the identity deeds of all the descendants of the entire Wang family, as well as their kinship.
The royal family simply signed the deed and sold them into slavery, including porters, maids, grandmothers, thugs, gardeners, tailors, cooks, coachmen and all kinds of miscellaneous servants, nearly 300 people.
This list records their original identities, places of origin, and the dates and months of their entry into the royal family.
Wang Shouye plans to work on the ledger and roster.
It is not an easy task to find out what may exist within the Wang family.
Wang Shouye planned to start the investigation with the ledger and roster.
"It's really a book office with old accounts, and these accounts are really leaky at a glance."
Wang Shouye flipped through another account book, snorted, took out this book separately, and labeled it.
Relying on him to read this large box of ledgers alone, I'm afraid it will take a few months, where does he have this effort?
"Who doesn't make fake accounts? The more problematic the account, the more problematic it is. Although this statement is biased, it speaks to the hearts of the people. ”
Since Wang Shouye inherited the family business, the time is still shallow, and the people below are not in line with the yin, and it is not a day or two.
For this, he made his own efforts, deliberately found a famous iron abacus nearby, paid a lot of money, learned the accounts, and cleared all kinds of rules and loopholes here.
Let him make fake accounts by himself, he may not be able to do it very carefully, but at least these ordinary bookkeepers, it is not easy to fool him.
"Catch up with Ming'er and hire another batch of account clerks, and don't do anything else, just give me an abacus and spend a month to calculate these accounts repeatedly."
It is impossible to let Wang Shouye calculate the details of the accounts one by one and find out the rats, not to mention that he has other things.
"Someone, prepare the car!"
shouted, and the little maid waiting outside the study answered sweetly, and went down to call someone.
The study is divided into an inner and outer room, both with beds, and the outer room is reserved for the maid who is in charge of the vigil to sleep.
Not only the study, but even the main bedroom, there are also wings for the maids and grandmothers who keep vigil.
Wang Shouye has been staying in the study for the past few days, and his personal maid naturally has to come to the study with him.
In addition to the eldest maid Chuntao, there are also several fourteen or fifteen-year-old little maids, all of whom belong to Wang Shouye's personal maids, and of course, they are also alternative concubines and future aunts.
This is standard for large households.
Soon, Wang Shouye arrived at the door, and the carriage was waiting here.
At a glance, the carriage is commonly used, and so is the groom, at least when you go out, you will easily be recognized by the identity of the Wang family, and Wang Shouye is very satisfied.
Then I went to another ox cart and saw that the gift was loaded in a large cart.
Ten pieces of fine tribute Yunjing satin, ten pieces of out-of-print blue and white porcelain in the official kiln, ten precious tea bricks, and a number of rare antique calligraphy and paintings......
This gift was generously placed on the cart and delivered slowly by the ox cart.
"Yes, let's go! Go to Zhou's house! ”
Wang Shouye gave an order, and the carriage, ox cart, knight, and the group went to the Zhou family under the banner of the Wang family.
In order to accommodate the speed of the ox cart, the carriage also slowed down, swaying and stopping.
Along the way, he swaggered through the market, and I don't know how many people saw him.
At this time, it was close to noon, and Wang Shouye calculated the time, that is, to have lunch at Zhou's house.
Coming to the door with this gift of reparation is to take a step back and settle the dispute with the Zhou family.
……
Zhou family.
In the middle of the garden, on the edge of the waterhole.
The bubbling spring water gushes out from the ground, passes through the rockery, flows into the deep tan, surrounds the Zhou family's mansion, and flows smoothly.
The Zhou family father and son are playing a game.
Write the anagram on the lotus leaf, put it in the pond, and let the water stir, collide, and float anywhere.
Then pick up the lotus leaves, solve the puzzle on the spot, and if you can't solve it, you have to drink a drink.
Of course, this is at home, and the anagrams are all placed by hand, and there is no such thing as a penalty for drinking.
"The so-called qu death flowing water is nothing more than putting wine in the water and floating in the water, allowing it to drink it for itself."
"Use lotus leaves to carry more, and play in the summer heat, which is not interesting."
Zhou Guizheng talked eloquently and told his son what he had seen.
These are all entertainment games for the interaction between literati, learn more about them, so as not to make a fool of yourself in the future.
Zhou Gui also had the intention to teach his son a little more common sense before his exam.
Today's lotus leaf charade game is that he teaches his son hand-in-hand, from the selection of leaves to the rules, a little bit of crumpling and explaining.
Zhou Xun listened very carefully, and from time to time picked up a lotus leaf, took off the anagram on it, and unfolded it, imitating the puzzle.
"In addition to this lotus leaf guess word, there is also a lantern anagram. However, it is not easy to demonstrate at this place at home, but there are a few old lanterns in the warehouse of the ancestral hall, if you have time, you can look for them. ”
Zhou Xun remembered the old lanterns that he dismantled, there was vague handwriting on the lamp, it turned out to be the lanterns that Zhou Gui won back by guessing the riddle in previous years, but I don't know if there are still a few confidantes, and what romantic past events have been introduced.
Zhou Gui didn't notice his son's distraction and continued.
"Speaking of this lantern, I have to say that the Lantern Festival, every household has to put lanterns that night, especially young men and women, especially young men and women."
"There's another allusion here, you must know!"
It is said that there was a palace maid in the previous dynasty, who had been in the deep palace for a long time, and no one knew about it, so he wrote a poem, told the heart, and made a wish to be a good man, written on the lantern, along the river, floating down, mixed in thousands of lanterns. Of course, this is not a lantern for guessing, but a lantern for wishing. ”
Subsequently, this lantern was caught by a showman, and he treasured it at home with a poem on the lamp surface.
"After another five years, when the palace maid reached the age, she went out, got married and had children, and after marriage, she tidied up her home, and found an old lantern, which was the same lamp that was released in the court in the past."
"From this sigh, only the smoke is predetermined, there is an omen, since then love for a lifetime, hand in hand to old age."
"This is the old thing of the famous lantern good fate, since then, this Lantern Festival lantern, in addition to the anagram lamp, there is a wishing lamp for marriage."
Zhou Gui looked at his son and said with a smile.
"If you don't want to get married, you have to put it back into the water, let it flow and sink into the water."
"Otherwise, it will incur love debts!"
Zhou Xun asked with a smile.
"My father was also talented back then, and he looked like Pan An, I don't know if he ever picked up a few lanterns to treasure?"
Zhou Gui scolded with a smile:
"Your father and I have your mother, where can I provoke other women?"
"Before you met my mother?"
“…… But there was still a past. ”
Zhou Gui seemed to think of the past and felt a little nostalgic.
"You will see a person named Momo in the future, Momo, or Momo, in short, it is read as Momo anyway, and you will take care of it as a sister."
"Momo? Which Momo? My sister? Father, you also raised the outer room! ”
"Does Mother know?"
"Does the Ning family know?"
Zhou Xun instantly came to his senses, staring at his father with interest and asking.
“……”
Keep an eye on it again.
The sun shines on the waterhole, flashing and shining, reflecting on the rockery, leaving a dappled light and shadow.
"Anyway, you'll know when you meet it."
Zhou Xun was still a little dissatisfied, and deliberately made a trick to make the water lotus bloom in the waterhole in front of him, blowing in all directions, smelling very fragrant, and picking it with his hand, but it fell short.
This is a virtual scene cultivated by Zhou Xun, with sound, color, fragrance and touch, but it is still illusory and cannot be taken away.
Compared with the illusion that only has sound and color, the virtual scene can not only be taken away, but also has a sense of touch.
The Dao of Taizhen is the fourth layer here, which can be compared to the Dao of Scattered Immortals cultivated by Neidan.
Zhou Gui also held his forehead and sighed, there was no way to take this son.
Since this son began to cultivate the Dao Method, he has been a thousand miles a day, treating all kinds of levels as nothing, and has advanced all the way, and has cultivated to the fourth layer, not long ago, he has condensed a kind of innate true water, which is equivalent to the Inner Dan cultivated in one vein, and has entered the Scattered Immortal Dao, completely surpassing his father.
You must know that he himself has only only cultivated the first level of this nameless Taoist book, and just like that, he feels that he is quite fast.
Sometimes Zhou Gui really feels that his own child is really not like a mortal......
"You kid, it's really strange to say, obviously I asked the Yuqing Daoist to see it, and the roots of the Dao are just middle-level and lower-level assets......"
Hearing the three words of Yuqingdao, Zhou Xun just hooked the corners of his lips in an arc.
"Who knows that as soon as you enter the Tao, you can count it as only a few months, and you have completed the road of ordinary people for two hundred years, and you have proved the Tao of Scattered Immortals. I'm afraid it's really ......."
I'm afraid that it is really a fairy family robbery, and I will give up if I am reincarnated.
That's what Zhou Gui said unfinished.
Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, Zhou Xun's face was calm as usual, and he looked at his father generously, and said frankly.
"Father, but I suspect that I am a scattered immortal soldier, not your son? It doesn't have to be that way. ”
"In the past, most of the people who have ascended to the heavens have been reincarnated many times, and those who have practiced for many generations and can fly to the heavens in one lifetime are really rare."
"Nanhua Zhenren and the like, in the Middle Ages, the world preached, called the realm of Taiyi, soared to the sky, and soon returned to the throne of the Taoist, who was a thousand years ago. After that, there is no living Taiyi, a true monarch in front of people. ”
"In ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and the sons and sages of hundreds of schools of thought were uneven, and most of them were ascending to the rank of immortals, and they went to the heavenly realm to be officials, and they were not allowed to go free. can become immortals, but there are only a dozen people. ”
"After that, there was a group of immortals, who felt that it was difficult to find a lifetime of ascension, so it was better to accumulate immortal roots and blessings in successive lives, and then seek immortals in the next life, but there were also a few immortals."
"Armament, fire, hydrolysis...... and so on, the method of liberation and reincarnation, which has been widely spread. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xun's voice rose up.
"However, if you don't become a fairy, you don't become a pure yang, and you will be reincarnated as a baby, and you will inevitably have a mystery in the womb. Even if he has cultivated to the god of pure yang in this life, has been in the immortal position in the world, and remembers the past, is he really still that person? ”
"In the previous life, the man was a woman in this life, rich in the previous life, poor in the present life, and all kinds of encounters are different, not one by one. Human, animal, grass, wood, scale, worm, ...... It's all possible. ”
"Those who escape from this life and try to achieve success through the cultivation of successive lifetimes, although they have proved that the Heavenly Immortal Dao is true, but in fact, they have gone astray and lost their original face, not the heart of that person at the beginning."
"Immortals are precious in this life, and Western religions seek the next life."
"Therefore, no matter who I was in my previous life, I am the son of the Zhou family in this life, even if I really remember the past, I will not become another person."
Zhou Xun frankly explained the secret of the Immortal Dao, and at the same time added a sentence in his heart.
“…… What I just said is limited to monks who have not become immortals in the world. The deity is already the position of the true monarch, on the verge of the emperor of the Dao, the Dao nature is profound, even if a trace of the true spirit is born, it is better than countless mortal monks. Nature is not confused, always at ease, this is another situation. ”
When Zhou Gui heard this, he realized a little, but he was relieved.
A subordinate came in from outside the garden, handed it to Zhou Gui with a prayer post, and whispered a few words.
Zhou Gui said in surprise:
"Someone from the Wang family?"
