Although Li Qiufeng didn't know Ma Yuanwai, he had heard this person's name many times in the past few days, and knew that he was a well-known rich man in Dongliao County, and he had a good relationship with the owner of Wang Zhuang. The day before yesterday, the owner of Wangzhuang also rushed to Majiazhuang in person and brought more than 70 people back to Wangjiazhuang to help. Wang Xiaoyu is the only daughter of the owner of Wang Zhuang, and Ma Yuan naturally knows her. Murong Danyan was not as thoughtful as Li Qiufeng, and he only said that the horse members deliberately provoked, and when he raised his eyebrows, he wanted to stand up for Wang Xiaoyu. Li Qiufeng hurriedly glanced at her and signaled her not to fight. Murong Danyan was stunned, although he didn't know why Li Qiufeng stopped her from making a move, he didn't dare to make trouble without permission, so he forcibly held back his anger and sat at the table without speaking.

I saw Wang Xiaoyu stand up, walked to the outside of the horse, and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Meet Uncle Ma below." ”

The horse crew was stunned, and looked Wang Xiaoyu up and down, although he felt that this kid was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. However, seeing that this person was very respectful, he was quite proud in his heart, leaned back in the chair, spread his feet, and said with a big grin: "How do you know me? ”

Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Uncle Ma is really a noble man who forgets things. In the first month of last year, I went to the Yamen of Zhixian with my father for a banquet, and I had a relationship with Uncle Ma, why didn't Uncle Ma remember me so quickly?"

When the horseman heard Wang Xiaoyu say this, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and looked Wang Xiaoyu up and down carefully.

It turned out that since Li Zhisheng became the magistrate of Dongliao County, every year on the third day of the first lunar month, the gentry of Dongliao County would be invited to the yamen to eat and drink. In the name of enjoying with the people, in fact, it is taking the opportunity to accumulate wealth. As long as these gentry enter the county back hall, the master will send a red envelope sealed by the county magistrate, which can be regarded as a lottery for everyone. Naturally, these gentry could not come empty-handed, in addition to carrying various gifts, there were also red envelopes as a gift. Li Zhisheng's red envelopes often only contain a silver leaf of less than one penny, and the red envelopes returned by the gentry are at least one hundred taels of silver tickets. And above the banquet, Li Zhisheng's two youngest sons will definitely run to the hall to play. The gentry had to pay the two children at least ten taels of silver. Moreover, after the banquet, the county yamen sent these gentry to the yamen to sell the antiques, silks, snacks, and even cattle and sheep, and they could buy hundreds of taels of silver. The third day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Li Zhisheng makes a fortune.

Ma Yuanwai knew that the people who could be invited to participate in the banquet held by the Yamen on the third day of the first lunar month were all big gentry from Dongliao County, and after listening to Wang Xiaoyu's words, he knew that this person must be from a big family, so he put away his arrogant expression. I saw him put his hands on his knees, and said in his mouth: "I don't know which little brother the son is?"

Wang Xiaoyu said: "My father is Wang Bu, the owner of Wangjiazhuang. ”

Ma Yuanwai's expression changed, and he glanced at Wang Xiaoyu carefully, and said: "You are the son of Wang Zhuangzi? No, I heard that Wang Zhuangzi only has one daughter, where did you come from?"

When Ma Yuanwai said this, he paused slightly, and suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, and then said: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Lao Wang has always regarded himself as a gentleman on weekdays, and every time we drink and prostitute ourselves, he can't shirk it, and he can't think of secretly raising the outer room." Looking at the appearance of the nephew, your mother must also be a stunning beauty. No wonder your father refuses to drink flower wine with us, it turns out that the golden house has long been hidden. Lao Wang Yanfu is not shallow, haha, haha. ”

Wang Xiaoyu heard what Ma Yuanwai said, and he was annoyed, secretly thinking that I had robbed you of your position, and I was worried that you would ask us to go back, so I was kind enough to talk to you, an old fellow. I can't imagine that you are so shameless and insult my mother. Since you are disrespectful to the elderly, I don't have to be polite to you. This son is even a compensation for your cheapness. Hmph, one day, teach you how good I am. “

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu straightened up, took another step forward, and was already in front of the horseman. She whispered: "Uncle Ma, don't make fun of me, how can my father raise any outer room? My niece is my father's only daughter, and today I heard that there was a lot of excitement in the city, so I changed my clothes and slipped out of Zhuangzi." Fortunately, my father was ordered by the yamen to come to the city to help, otherwise it would not be easy to sneak out of Zhuangzi. ”

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he reached out and took off the small hat on his head, revealing the long hair coiled on the top of his head, and then put the hat back on. Ma Yuanwai vaguely remembered that he had indeed seen Wang Xiaoyu in the Yamen of Zhixian County, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said: "It turned out to be the niece of the Wang family." Uncle Fang is talking nonsense in a daze, don't take it to heart. ”

Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Uncle Ma is serious. You and my father are good friends, how can my niece dare to blame the elders? It's just that my niece came here today to watch the lively events, and if Uncle Ma sees my father, don't tell him about it. Otherwise, he will be furious and chastise his niece. ”

Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, the horse crew thought to himself that Wang Bu, a bastard, had always been dignified, and he looked like a righteous man and a gentleman's fake Taoism, and Lao Tzu hated him when he saw him. Every time the yamen asked us to do something, this bastard was the first to jump out and praise Li Zhisheng's stinky feet. Thinking about it, he had already colluded with the dog official surnamed Li behind his back, and the two of them sang with a white face and a red face, and they didn't want to scavenge money from us? Wangjiazhuang has been so prosperous these years that we are almost out of breath. Fortunately, God has eyes, so Wang Bu, a bastard, only gave birth to a daughter. Now that he is in his fifties, he does not think he will have another son. Didn't the thousands of family fortunes he had worked so hard to accumulate fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames in the end? Haha, Lao Tzu gave birth to three sons and two daughters in his family, and he also raised several little wives outside, and also gave birth to two sons and two daughters to Lao Tzu, so it can be said that there are successors. Even if Lao Tzu's generation can't fight you, you are destined to lose to our Ma family in the next generation. Hmph, the girl surnamed Wang was afraid that Wang Bu would punish her after knowing about it, so she begged me not to tell Wang Bu about it. Lao Tzu just wanted to tell the old bastard, and he also deliberately mentioned this matter in front of the patriarchs of several other big families, so that everyone knew that the daughter of the Wang family had no tutor, and the woman disguised herself as a man and ran to the city to mess around, see where you put the face of the old bastard? After the old bastard went home, he was annoyed and angry, and he would definitely punish this girl heavily. It's best that he misses for a while and beats this girl to death, and the old bastard himself is sad, and he also gets seriously ill and dies. At that time, wouldn't it be beautiful for Lao Tzu to think of a way to get the property of the Wang family into his hands?

The horseman's wishful thinking crackled non-stop, but his face was still impassive, and he said: "Although the eldest niece can rest assured, how can the uncle be the kind of villain who talks nonsense?"

Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, my father once told me that you, this old guy, are the most shameless people who are afraid of chaos in the world. Fanning the flames and playing right and wrong is your forte. If I believe you, I'll be stupid. Talking to you like this today is just a deliberate attempt to tease you and make you forget about booking a seat. Hmph, let's come a long way, and one day let you break this old guy in my hands!

When Wang Xiaoyu was thinking about it, he only heard Ma Yuanwai continue to say: "Lao Wang just won't enjoy Qingfu." Take the matter of the yamen asking us to help this time, in fact, everyone is fooling around. Only your father is really a real person, he was the first to stand up and agree to the Yamen's invitation, not to mention, and really brought fifty or sixty people to toss around outside the city. We don't dare to be sloppy, and follow your father to do things together. Eldest niece, uncle is not complaining about your father, but others may not be as generous as uncle. I've heard that several other patriarchs of large families have said a lot of bad things about your father behind their backs, and if they join forces to make things difficult for your father, things will be in trouble. ”

Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, my father is a square man and has never been difficult with others. Almost all the patriarchs of these big families have benefited from my father, so how can they have a dislike for my father? In the entire Dongliao County, only you, an old fellow, are jealous of my father, and you have secretly done bad things all these years. Even if those big patriarchs want to be unfavorable to Wangjiazhuang, it will definitely be your Majiazhuang who takes the lead. You old bastard speaks in a weird way, pouting inside and out. My father is generous, maybe he will let you go, but I won't give you face. When my martial arts are completed, it will be the day when you will be unlucky!
