But he said that on this day, the Wu Mansion in Tongxiang was full of lights, and Mrs. took good care of Chengen. Master Wu instructed his subordinates to take care of his wife's confinement.

"Master, you can put a hundred hearts, I will tell the kitchen to adjust the score, work together to serve the good lady, and ensure that the little master will be raised for nothing." Steward Li said resignedly.

"Serve well, there is a reward." Master Wu specially added another sentence.

"Sir, look at it."

After arranging everything, Mr. Wu walked towards the store again. Most of the residents in the streets and alleys of Hexia are engaged in the businesses listed in the name of the lane, such as selling daily goods such as copperware, iron parts, lime, and clothing.

The Wu family is in this environment, and they are also operating some small commodities. When there was a surplus of profits in business and an improvement in their living conditions, the Wu family began to attach importance to education, hoping that their children and grandchildren would be able to enter the official career and glorify their ancestors.

Wu Chengen's great-grandfather Wu Ming served as a county school instructor in Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture (present-day Yuyao City), Zhejiang, while his grandfather Wu Zhen served as a county school instructor in Renhe County, Hangzhou Prefecture (present-day Hangzhou City), Zhejiang. The teacher is actually the principal of the county school, and the discipline is one level lower.

Teachings and teachings are poorly paid and are far from home. When Wu Chengen's father Wu Rui was four years old, his mother Liang took him to Renhe County, and within a few months, Wu Chengen's grandfather Wu Zhen died of illness in Renhe County.

Liang had no choice but to return to Huai'an with Wu Rui, a four-year-old orphan. Since then, the Wu family has become poorer and poorer, so that Wu Rui cannot go to school when he reaches school age, and can only enter social studies with poor educational conditions. His mother never imagined that the two generations of the Wu family studied and became officials, and in the third generation, they would fall into such a situation.

But Wu Rui is smart and sensible, not only can he concentrate on the class, but he also reads very hard. After Wu Rui finished his studies in social studies, he did not continue to study until he was 20 years old, and he became married to the daughter of the Xu family, a small businessman.

The Xu family has made a living by selling small commodities such as lace and thread for generations, and after marriage, Wu Rui inherited the Xu family's industry and became a small businessman to make a living.

Today, Master Wu was born with a smile from ear to ear, thinking about what the county order said just now, it was really ridiculous, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "My lord, my lord, how can my Wu family have that luck?" ”

But deep down, of course, he was unwilling, and when the Wu family arrived in his generation, the family was in the middle of the road and had no relationship with the official family. This is also his good intentions in naming his son Chengen, and he longs for the emperor's grace to favor the Wu family. But he also knows that there are times in life when you have to have it, and there is no time in life when you don't want it.

Of course, Master Wu couldn't think of his son Wu Chengen, although Chengen was full of poetry and books, and his official articles were not bad at all, but he failed many times, which made him lose face on Hexia Street. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

It is said that the county magistrate was greedy for two more glasses at noon, and he was tired from hiking the ancient town under the river in the morning, so he fell asleep after being full of wine and food.

"Qing Yu Huaiyang Restaurant" really lives up to its name, the guests on the three floors are like clouds, and it is usually not three days in advance, and the location cannot be determined at all. Today, the county lord came, and the boss immediately opened the spare hall, which had to make people admire Boss Song's shrewdness.

In the afternoon, the guys finished the guests, packed up everything, went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and Boss Song closed the door alone and took the accounts. At noon, the county lord was a loss on the surface, but he knew that he had made a lot of money, first, the diners knew that the county lord was a guest at the Yuhuaiyang Restaurant, which would inevitably spread all over the country, and the second was that the county lord left ink treasures on the poetry wall, and did not talk about how the poem was written.

Now the county lord is still taking a nap in the backyard guest room, and Boss Song is serving himself as a good student, maybe when the county lord is happy to visit again, the hotel business will be more prosperous. Thinking of this, Boss Song's eyebrows turned up, and he proudly picked up the purple clay pot and savored it......

I don't know when, Boss Song may have been too tired and actually fell asleep on the table......

A strong knock on the door woke Boss Song from his sleep, he rubbed his eyes and scolded himself before responding loudly: "Don't knock, here, here!" ”

"Boss Song, why didn't you open the door until now, what about my lord?" The master barged in and asked angrily.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm asleep, my lord is in the backyard." Boss Song said and picked up a piece of silver and stuffed it into the master's hand, "In the future, I will ask the master to say a lot of good words." ”

The master smiled and walked through the passage to the backyard, he walked straight to the guest room and stood in front of the door, tidied up his clothes and knocked lightly on the door: "My lord, my lord, it's not early, let's go home." ”

But there was no one in the door to answer, so the master knocked on the door again and repeated, to his strange that there was no response. He opened the door with one foot, and the adult was snoring in bed.

Rice wine is delicious, but it is difficult to wake up when you are drunk. The master stepped forward and pushed the adult, and the county master finally slowly opened his eyes: "Where is this?" ”

"This is under the river."

"What?" The county magistrate got up and quickly put on his official uniform with the help of the master.

Boss Song hurriedly prepared the well water and brought it to the front: "My lord, please." ”

Seeing that the boss county master came to his senses completely: "Boss Song, Qingyu Huaiyang Restaurant is worthy of its name, and this official will speak for you." Well, thanks for the hospitality, I took my leave. ”

"My lord, please, welcome the county master to appreciate the light again." The boss bowed to see him off.

The sun had already sunk in the west, and the sky had darkened, and the county magistrate felt that he was a little out of shape today. A group of people walked along Huzui Street from north to south, and the lights in the alleys flickered, lighting up the streets and alleys, and people's faces were also bright.

The merchants have already hung the red lanterns high, and they are shouting and greeting the guests who come and go from the south to the north, and before they know it, they are about to arrive at the royal wharf at the south entrance of the ancient town.

The sound of children chasing on the embankment attracted the attention of the county magistrate and his entourage, and in the faint moonlight, a group of fireflies greeted them, and they flashed and flashed, echoing the fishing fire in the canal. Looking at the swaying lights in the water, and the sound of the canal gurgling in his ears, the county magistrate blurted out: "What a wonderful night scene." ”

"Your Excellency, please get on the sedan chair!" The master slammed the folding fan shut.

"Wait, listen!" The county magistrate, who was about to get on the sedan chair, dropped his front feet.

The master calmed down, and the group looked in the direction of the county master's finger, and sure enough, there was a melodious pipa sound from a red boat in the canal.

"Xunyang Jiangtou night send-off, maple leaves and flowers in autumn. The master dismounts the guest in the boat, and raises the wine to drink without orchestra. If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and you will be immersed in the moon in the vast river when you are drunk. Suddenly heard the sound of pipa on the water, the owner forgot to return to the guest and did not ...... "This situation and this scene made the county prince poetry prosperous, and he sang Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" that has been passed down through the ages, "The official has not heard the sound of silk and bamboo for a long time, and the master leads the way." ”

"Yes, sir!" Master knew that the adults were interested, how dare he not obey?

Walking towards the riverbank, there were long towing groups and single boats of all sizes moored on the river.

The red boat apparently noticed that someone was approaching the shore, and the boatman slowly approached the red boat from the canal. The county magistrate saw a twenty-eight beautiful woman holding a pipa on the bow of the boat, and the song "Ambush on All Sides" was played vividly.

The county magistrate couldn't help but chant: "The big strings are noisy like torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers." Noisy and miscellaneous, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate......"

The master whispered: "Looking for the sound and secretly asking who the player is, the pipa is late to stop." Move the ship close and invite each other to meet ......"

I want to know what happened next, and listen to the breakdown at home.
