Chapter 33: Ten Thousand Homes (I)
"It's really a big county town that is famous all over the world. Shui Xie and Brother Na Bing walked on the street, looking at the crowded streets, and exclaimed.
The spacious streets are bustling with traffic, and there is a lively and very lively scene of life. Compared with the small city of Wujiang, the flow of people in Anqing City is indeed several times larger, and business travelers with accents from all over the world can be seen everywhere. This rich atmosphere of life makes the water pavilion feel very comfortable.
"Maybe I've been in the mountains for a long time, and I like to be lively. The water pavilion smiled warmly.
Many people saw the water pavilion, and they all showed a suspicious gaze, after all, this young man has an outstanding temperament, and there is a soldier by his side, he must be the son of a big family.
At the corner of the street ahead, many people were chattering around a notice, and the faces of the people were different, some excited, some regretful, and some eager to try.
"Oh, what's going on up there?" asked the water pavilion seeing this scene.
"This son, I'm afraid you didn't know it when you first came," the soldier beside him explained enthusiastically: "That notice was posted yesterday, saying that the head of the Wan family in Anqing City was suffering from a strange illness, and many famous doctors were invited, but they were helpless. ”
"The head of the Wan family?" Shui Xie frowned slightly: "Which Wan family is this?"
Shuixie clearly knows that Wantong Money is all over the world, rich and rival the country, and the silver tickets printed are common all over the world, and his first pot of gold is still obtained from Wantong Bank. Its big boss is Wan Rongkun, but it is said that Wan Rongkun lives in Tianjing all the year round, does this Wan family in Anqing City have anything to do with that Wan Rongkun?
"The name of the head of the Wan family in this Anqing City is Wan Rongde, and he is the younger brother of Wan Rongkun, the owner of Wantong Bank!" Speaking of Wantong Bank, this soldier brother was bright, and said: "Wan Rongde is fifty years old, and he is also the second master of Wantong Bank, and he is the richest man in Anqing City!"
"Oh, what is the situation of the Wanjia, please ask Brother Bing and Zai to talk in detail to hear it. "For Wantong Qianzhuang, a force that is all over the world and black and white, the interest of Shuixie is not a star.
A branch shopkeeper in a small Wujiang town can take out 22,000 taels of silver tickets at one time to buy his own blood ginseng, you know, in the entire Dagao Dynasty, the annual income of a first-class member of the imperial court is only 500 taels, 22,000 taels, which is how many times the income of these court officials!
Thinking of this, the water pavilion was secretly speechless. The strength of this Wantong Money Bank is probably no longer something that can be simply described in the words "rich".
"Of course you can!" When it came to Wan Jia, the soldier brother seemed very interested, and gushed endlessly: "Although Wan Rongde is very rich, he is not a rich and unkind person, he is kind and charitable, for decades, every month, he will give porridge and rice in the city, and those beggars and poor people who are wandering on the streets are grateful to him, after all, in a disaster year, often half a catty of rice can save the life of the whole family!"
In the soldier's tone, the admiration for Wan Rongde was fully revealed.
Shui Xie also nodded when he heard this, although he was in troubled times, he couldn't judge a person's heart simply by his appearance, but Wan Rongde could be like this for many years, and it was indeed not easy.
"But the sky has no eyes, Wan Rongde is such a good person, but he has no son in his life, only got a daughter in his thirties, and Wan Rongde is devoted to his wife, and he did not marry any side room, which has long been a good story in our Anqing City. ”
Wan Rongde's daughter is named Wan Junyao, who is now eighteen years old, but still not married, helping her father take care of the family's business, but she is also a good hand, this Wan Junyao's talent and vision in business are stronger than many men. ”
Hearing this, Shui Xie smiled lightly, since ancient times, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and it is not easy for Wan Junyao to do this.
"Some time ago, Wanfu wanted to recruit families, and as a result, many young talents in Anping City were attracted, and everyone was crowded to drill into Wanfu. Actually, if I don't want to do military service, I would like to sign up. It is said that this Wan Junyao is as beautiful as a flower, and her vision for choosing a husband is even more extraordinary......"
"Ahem!" Shui Xie directly interrupted the soldier's words and said, "Brother soldier, I'll go to Wanfu to have a look first, how about it? Please go and talk to Lu Taishou first, and I'll go to Taishou Mansion to see him later." ”
"But...... This ......" the soldier looked embarrassed, "if the Taishou is punished, I ......"
"It's okay, it's important to save people, and I believe Taishou won't blame you for this. ”
"Well, well. I told the Taishou the truth. The soldier departed in a daze.
Shui Xie did not unveil the list, because he was really not very confident in his medical skills, although his master Li Wusheng was the first disciple of the Medicine God Hall of Dayang Dragon Temple, although he had obtained his true inheritance, but he had almost no experience in saving people.
The only thing the water pavilion could rely on was the countless immortal herbs in his storage space.
Buddhism has clouds, and saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter. The ideal of the Water Pavilion is to protect the common people, so the Water Pavilion has all kinds of miracle medicines in the world, and it is impossible to stand idly by for Wan Rongde's illness.
"Now my strength is still too small, and when I am really strong, I can do those big things that benefit all sentient beings. Shui Xie thought to himself.
Although Anqing City is very large, it is not difficult to find Wanjia. It is estimated that only 10,000 families can afford to have the financial resources to purchase dozens of acres of courtyards in the city.
Looking at the courtyard in front of him, the water pavilion couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The courtyard wall is one foot high, enclosing these dozens of acres. The vermilion lacquer door is tall and wide, and it looks magnificent. On both sides of the gate, there are two majestic stone lions, with angry eyes and round eyes, which are very good-looking.
Six bodyguards lined up on both sides of the gate, holding big sticks, their eyes full of arrogance, coldly scanning the passers-by at the door. The arms and thighs are all protruding muscles, thick and powerful, it seems that it is indeed a very honorable thing to be able to become the nursing home of ten thousand families.
Seeing that the water pavilion stayed at the gate of Wanfu, constantly looking at the appearance of the Wanfu compound, a nurse looked very impatient, and directly stepped forward and shouted: "Where did you come from, so blind!
The temper of this nursing home seems to be very irritable, and he directly pushes the water pavilion.
Seeing this, Shui Xie grabbed it with his backhand, unscrewed the hand of the nursing home, snorted coldly, and said: "The nursing home of a thousand mansions is not small. My son is unhappy and delays your master's illness, see how you end!"
The strong man in the nursing home was going to drive away the water pavilion, but he twisted his arm and was reprimanded, and his heart was already on fire, and he said: "Just you, the hair on your mouth has not grown, and you still want to cure our master's illness?
After that, the big stick of the nursing home was slammed towards the water pavilion!
