At the age of fourteen, Chen Dacang followed his father to run from east to west, from south to north. No matter where you go, it is not good to have no friends, of course, you will vigorously support Chen Tanbai friends.

As for the theory of "friends and losers", it is just the self-kicking of those who like to reject people thousands of miles away, and it does not conform to the truth that most people are mixed with the world.

Chen Tan's thirteen uncles are:

Yangzhou Liu Dao, Qian Cheng. Chengdu Li Shuang, Cao Bo. Chang'an Jiang Yi, megosome. Luoyang Yu Ke, Luo Mei. Taiyuan eldest grandson butterfly, Hu Yanwan. Guangzhou Changxin, Yuan Liu. Of course, including himself, Chuzhou Chen Tan.

Their years are about the same, they are all born with a slight difference, from the oldest to the youngest:

The eldest brother lacquerware dealer will Liu Dao, and the second brother woodcarving dealer Qian Cheng,

The third brother is Chen Tan, the big fennel seller, and the fourth brother is Li Shuang, the fairy girl of rattan weaving,

The fifth brother is a tea seller Cao Bo, and the sixth brother ties dyes the fairy Jiang Yi,

Seven brother painted pottery dealers will be the public volume, eight enema dealers Jun Changsun Die,

The ninth brother of the black pottery general Hu Yanyi, the tenth brother of Eucommia ulmoides medicine dealer Yu Ke,

The eleventh brother peony cake mother Luo Mei, the twelfth brother winter honey seller will always be sincere,

The thirteenth brother Guangla Dashang Yuanliu.

Among them, Chengdu Li Shuang, Chang'an Jiang Yi, Luoyang Luo Mei, and Taiyuan Changsun Die are all heroines among women.

They are all seventeen to twenty years old, and all of them have been following their parents to engage in sales activities since they were fourteen years old, and they don't have to pick any martial arts.

This Taiyuan eldest grandson Die was born on the same day, the same month, and the same year as Chen Tan, and he looks like a fairy, he is the head of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Zhao Guogong, and the descendant of the prime minister's eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson of Die, whose grandfather committed a crime, was robbed of his title and reduced to a commoner. Therefore, his father began to do business, mainly selling Taiyuan specialties: Qingyuan black pottery.

Jiang Feigu, the father of Jiang Yi in Chang'an, was the adopted son of Jiang Shen (799-881), the prime minister of the dynasty. Jiang Feigu was an orphan picked up by Jiang Shen, who was raised until he was twenty years old and chose to join the army. After that, Jiang Feigu traveled to various places to quell the chaos and fight, and after 18 years in the army, he was named the uncle of the county, and the fief of the county belonged to Jingzhao Mansion.

Because his left leg was cut off during the battle formation, he withdrew from the army and built a mansion in Haochou. Engaged in business, selling good cloth art and good cloth. Jiang Yi grew to the age of fourteen and began to follow his lame father to run the rivers and lakes, and endured endless hardships in the trafficking.

After Jiang Yi and Chen Tan came into contact in Chang'an, every time Chen Tan went to Chang'an, he was inseparable from him. However, when Jiang Yi came to Chuzhou to settle the righteousness, he found that Chen Tan and the eldest grandson Die were also very close.

However, Qin Shunying is very optimistic about Luoyang Luo Mei, and wants to make Chen Tan more close to her, and strive to make Luo Mei her daughter-in-law. Chen Tan didn't let the old lady care, and after talking too much, Qin Shunying exerted the old lady's prestige to suppress it, which often caused Chen Tan to rebound violently, and he didn't go home for many days when he left.

This matter was already very complicated, but now it is even more complicated because of Qin Shunying's mixing.

Chen Tan couldn't say these words so clearly to these elders, they didn't understand the thoughts of young people.

In Chen Tan's mind, he never thought about choosing a wife among the thirteen uncles of Baoying. In his opinion, since they are all sworn brothers, the sisters among them will never be the only ones who look at themselves. Participating in this will inevitably make the problem very complicated, and if it is not handled properly, it will be a righteous one, but it is very likely to become a feud.

Therefore, he is looking for a person other than Bao Ying's thirteen uncles, but it is still unclear who will be the wife in this life and this life. The so-called karma is determined, when this person will come out, he is waiting.

Bei Wei and Jing Xun stayed in their house for five days in a row. Chen Tan trafficked lotus root flour with his father Chen Dacang, and this time he was going to Luoyang. I have to go to Luoyang once a year in June, no more than June 20. Take a 600-stone boat to the Grand Canal directly, where there is a fixed lotus root powder shop waiting to receive the goods.

Chen Tao also wanted to follow, and the three of them took three companions to bid farewell to Beiwei and Jing Xun, and escorted the cargo ship from Shanyang Port to Luoyang.

The trafficking of hairy crabs will not start until early August. It's still early, they are all young crabs, and the so-called "June Yellow" tastes good but has no meat. So he took their husband and wife around during the day, ate and drank at night, helped them relax, and somewhat alleviated their sadness.

With the second brother Chang Da Dan accompanying them, the eldest sister-in-law Qin Shunying has a lot of peace of mind, just greet the children and the family, and they will talk and eat a few glasses of wine when they go home. Bei Wei deeply admires her sister-in-law for bringing such a large group of children, and often praises her, and her sister-in-law is also very moved by this fifth brother.

It's going to be June and a half. On this day, Bei Wei went out of the house to sell the last bit of Su embroidery to the shop, and came back after settling the account. On this day, Wuyu Hou Chen Guo and Heshui County's wife Bai Miao came to the mansion of their son Baoying Hou, and it happened that Jing Xun also went out and ran to Baishuitang with Chang Da Dan to play.

Qin Shunying, the wife of Huaiyin County, caught her in-laws, and a group of children frolicked when they saw their grandfather and mother-in-law. Qin Shunying briefly told her father-in-law about the disappearance of Bei Chang and Beiduan, and Bei Wei has been waiting for her father-in-law to calculate it.

Chen Guo was shocked, judging from his experience in the rivers and lakes, the first judgment of the disappearance of young people of this age is to rob relatives, the second aspect is to borrow the womb to give birth to a child or borrow a seed to conceive a child, and finally it is a prostitute hall or a noodle pavilion, unless these three situations occur.

In either case, it's a hassle to find. If it is a robbery of relatives, it is either a high-ranking official or a bandit robber, and if he goes to ask for someone, he will either fight a lawsuit or a war.

If you give birth to a child from the womb, it will inevitably take ten months to a year. And borrowing a seed to conceive a child, you have to let the family conceive a child before letting you go, which is an ordinary household taking you away. If it's a temple like a child, it's very likely that you'll be trained to be a full-time gourd.

Needless to say, the brothel parlor and the noodle pavilion are also very troublesome to clean up, but they are easier to clean up than the first two cases.

Qin Shunying was terrified when she heard her father's words, and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper Yu Liu to find Beiwei. Yu Liu found the Su embroidery shop according to Bei Wei's explanation of going out, only the apprentice looked at the door, saying that the boss had settled the account and invited Bei Wei to play in White Horse Lake, and it was estimated that he would not come back until the evening.

Then wait, Chen Guo and Bai Miao made out their grandchildren one by one, and checked the situation of learning literature and martial arts one by one. After watching it again, among the six children who stayed at home, Sanlang Chen Qiao and Liuniang Chen Yan were very good, Chen Fang and Chen Rou were not more than seven years old, so they couldn't see anything famous.

When it got dark, Bei Wei ran back like crazy, and as soon as he entered the door, Chen Guo and Bai Miao turned over and knelt down. shouted at his uncle and aunt Chitose, Chen Guo hurriedly held him up and hurriedly shouted for exemption.

Bai Miao, the wife of Heshui County, hurriedly asked: "How did Bei Chang and Bei Duan disappear?" Just now your sister-in-law said a rough idea, your uncle needs to know more about it, the most important thing is the time of disappearance. ”

Bei Wei was about to speak, but there was a commotion outside the hall, and it happened that Chang Da Dan also came back with Jing Xun, and also turned over and kowtowed to Chen Guo and Bai Miao. From the point of view of the eight swords of the song, Chang Da Dan called uncle and aunt. Jing Xun followed Bei Wei to call uncle and aunt.

After a simple greeting, Bei Wei went straight to the topic and told the two children's physiognomy characteristics, Nian Geng's eight characters, and the location of the loss. Wuyu Hou and Mrs. Heshuijun nodded again and again.

In the end, Bei Wei said: "When I disappeared, it was a little more than that. There was a man in a colorful coat who was very mysterious, but he was never seen again. The old woman in black saw that we were too sad and instructed us to go down to the bottom of the mountain, where there was a hexagram temple where we could shake the hexagram and predict good fortune. ”

Yanhou Chen Guo asked him to recall the situation of the hexagram as much as possible. Bei Wei took out a piece of paper from his arms, which he transcribed from memory when he was looking for his daughter and son afterwards.

Yanhou Chen Guo took it and took a look, and wrote "Yu Hexagram" on it, the sky is microstar, and the moon is looking for the moon in the clouds.

There are eight small characters in the batch: "It is advisable to go far away, and you can meet bosom friends".

The judgment said:

This life is blessed with the dawn of the auspicious star.

A quiet place gives birth to a roa,

There is a savior in the awkwardness.

According to the time when Bei Wei entered the door, Yanhou Chen Guo deduced with Qimen Dunjia, pinched his fingers and calculated carefully, and sighed secretly: "Bei Chang has nothing to do, she was accepted as a righteous daughter by a prince and raised well." The double end is really when the gourd. ”

Bei Wei couldn't wait to know the result, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, are the two children okay?"

Chen Guo deduced according to the time of their disappearance, and secretly exclaimed: "Beiduan is the prince this time, and the children born to others are either emperors or queens." The elder sister is pampered, and the younger brother is a group of concubines. The sister and brother are less than a mile apart, but it is difficult to meet each other, and it takes a century to meet each other and return to their hometown. ”

"Either the emperor is the queen"! God, once such a result is reported, it will be a catastrophe, and it will be killed by the Son of Heaven. The news that they could not return home after twelve years was too cruel for their parents. How to say that?

Wuyu Hou Chen Guo stroked a handful of white beards, and when he was in distress, Shanyangzi Baiyudun Changding broke in and shouted: "Brother Chitose, I don't know if I will say anything when I arrive in Shanyang, are you afraid that the fourth brother will eat your son's wine?"

Yanhou Chen Guo hurriedly got up, greeted him with a smile, and said: "Dacang's wine is all for you to eat, I can only eat a few glasses so far away from him? ”

Without waiting for Chang Ding to speak, Yan Lanniang rushed in, and happened to hear Chen Guo say this, beckoned behind him, and shouted: "Chang Fang, Chang Yin, and Da Pei are all here, and your seventh uncle will be poured down for me today." ”

The eldest son Chang Fang and the second son Chang Yin are twin brothers, born in the second year of Changqing (822) when the Eight Swords of the Dynasty Song were formed, and they are both forty-eight years old this year. Chang Dapei is the third son and is 42 years old this year. Chang Dadan, who is married to Chen Dacang and Bei Wei, is a young son. There is a daughter between the twins and Da Pei, and there are two older sisters on Da Dan. Yan Lanniang gave birth to four sons and three daughters.

Chang Ding and his three eldest sons have been engaged in kelp trafficking, relying on the gold medal of the kombu dealer given by the emperor, fighting for 48 years, doing business all over the major states and counties of the Tang Dynasty, and has already become the top three richest people in Chuzhou.

Chang Fang's eldest son Chang Xu is 28 years old, her daughter Chang Qin is 26 years old, and her second son Chang Qing is 24 years old.

Chang Yin's daughter Chang Fan is 28 years old, and her sons Chang Lu and Chang Pang are 26 and 25 years old respectively.

Chang Dapei's daughter Chang Xiu is 23 years old, and her sons Chang Pi and Chang Ying are 22 and 20 years old respectively.

Changxu's children are all eight years old.

Chang Xu, Chang Qin, Chang Qing, Chang Fen, Chang Lu, Chang Pang, Chang Xiu, Chang Pi, and Chang Ying all joined the kelp trader at the age of fourteen, and then although the girls married and brought the kelp business to their in-laws' families, the boys all married wives, and the grandchildren of Chang Ding were twelve to participate in the war.

In addition, there are three couples of Chang Fang, Chang Yin, and Chang Dapei, as well as the old man Chang Ding and the old lady Yan Lanniang, a total of 20 generals. Jianghu people call it "kelp wealthy family".

Although the youngest son, Chang Dadan, is engaged in the whitebait business alone, the two big sales in August and Layue are also dispatched together, and the whitebait is sold with kelp, and the sales are very good.

Bai Miao saw it, hurriedly caught Yan Lanniang, and shouted: "Is your family in a big position? ”

Yan Lanniang said with a smile: "Mrs. Bai, your family Chen Guan, Da Yuan, and Da Dan are on a par with our family. If you want to dry the mud inkstone, it is also a vast group of fierce generals. ”

Chen Guo saw that the two of them were arguing, once they added their daughter-in-law Qin Shunying, the three women were invincible, and they couldn't say anything more, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop it: "Eh, stop for a moment, I'm helping Bei Wei calculate." ”

Chang Ding pulled his throat and shouted: "Uncle Cheng mud seller, aunt spring wine god, my grandfather seafood seller, and your grandfather persimmon god can't just offer god cards, if there is anything to do, let them come up with ideas and make a dream." Don't always do the math yourself, so why bother?"

"Really, what the fourth brother said makes sense. Lao Bai, light the incense, I'm worried that I can't figure it out, let our father and mother point out. As soon as Chen Guo heard Chang Ding's reminder, he happened to use the mouth of the peddler to tell them, saving himself from saying it, causing them to be suspicious and in trouble.

Can the gods of several major sellers give divine revelations to Bei Wei and Jing Xun?
