Yanliang City is inhabited by tens of millions of residents, the entire capital covers an area of 10 million miles, how huge, known as "a city to see a country" reputation, among which there are countless wealthy businessmen, countless celebrities, civil and military officials live here.
Four years ago, Qiu Yunqing followed his father to Yanliang City, but at that time, he was young and playful, and he didn't deliberately remember which street those wealthy merchants lived in, and how vast and huge this capital was, it was even more difficult for Qiu Yunqing, who couldn't remember the address, to find the business partners of the Qiu family.
Fortunately, Qiu Yunqing still remembered that there was a Wang family wine cellar in the capital, and he often traded grain and wine with the Qiu family, so he asked people and kept inquiring about the address of the Wang family's wine cellar.
At this time, Qiu Yunqing and the four of them were listlessly walking on the endless long street, Qiu Yunqing watched the people around him come and go, one after another, and fell into a deep confusion.
After four years, entering this imperial capital city again, Qiu Yunqing felt that he was so small, just when he was confused and confused, a bold idea suddenly flashed in his mind, anyway, it is also to rebuild the family business, why not make it bigger and build a business directly in this crowded capital city?
With this thought, the more Qiu Yunqing thought about it, the more excited he became, and he had more motivation, the corners of his mouth rose, and he had courage.
"I don't go, I don't go, I'm hungry all the time, I can't walk. Lori sat directly on the ground and let her go, and the two of them were also holding their stomachs listlessly.
"The Wang family wine cellar doesn't know where it is, and the Qiu family's transaction ledger can't be found, and the ledger records the details of the customers and merchants who have transactions with the Qiu family, but unfortunately they can't find it now. Qiu Yun sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "It's not a way for us to go on like this, we have to find a way to make a living." β
"How do you make money, work hard, be a housekeeper, perform street showmanship, tell fortunes and cheat money?" said to Qiu Yun lightly.
Before Qiu Yunqing could answer, an old man beside him suddenly walked over and asked, "Young man, you were asking around for the address of the Wang family's wine cellar just now, right?"
Qiu Yun nodded lightly and said, "Yes, uncle, are you?"
The old man sighed lightly: "I used to be an old buddy of the Wang family's wine cellar, but now the Wang family's wine cellar is gone. β
"Why?" Qiu Yunqing exclaimed.
The old man said: "The young owner of the Wang family is proud of his wealth, he does not study poetry and books, he does not practice physiology, and he is good at gambling. The old club was tired of training and died of anger. The young owner still has no scruples, and he plays a game of wine and food with the rogue villain. In less than half a year, millions of family assets were exhausted, and there was no inch of land. Now this royal wine cellar also exists in name only. β
Listening to the old man's words, Qiu Yunqing's heart was half cold, and now the only way out was also broken.
The old man looked at Qiu Yunqing, who had a sad face, and said, "Young man, what is your name, why are you looking for the Wang family's wine cellar?"
Qiu Yunqing said: "I am Qiu Yunqing, my family used to be in the business of selling wine, four years ago, my family fell into the middle of the road, and today I have no way to come to this capital to find some partners back then, ready to reorganize the family business." β
"Haha, sure enough, it's the young master of the Qiu family, I didn't expect to meet you here. Two days ago, your grandmother Qiao'er wrote a trust to pay me to go to Fengyuan County to help you, but I didn't expect you to come to this capital to ask for business. "The old man is neither fat nor thin, he looks healthy, and he smiles very happily.
Qiu Yun also said "What a coincidence" when he heard this, so he asked: "Uncle, what is your name, how should I call you, I didn't expect you to know Grandma Qiao'er." β
The old man said: "I also said just now, I used to be an old buddy of the Wang family's wine cellar, and the old owner had a good relationship with your father, and your grandmother Qiao'er has also been to the capital several times, so we all know each other." People call me Lao Wang, and you can call me Lao Wang too. β
Lori was still sitting on the ground at this time, and when she heard the old man's words, she muttered: "Old Wangba, Lao Wangba...... Old Wang Ba?"
Lao Wang, Qiu Yunqing and the others all heard Lori muttering there, Lao Wang was very embarrassed, Qiu Yunqing was also embarrassed, turned to Lori and said, "Pay attention to politeness, don't talk nonsense!"
Lori stood up from the ground, patted her buttocks, and grinned, "I just said it casually, and I didn't mean anything else." β
Lao Wang looked at Lori and the two of them, and asked Qiu Yun lightly, "Who are these three?"
Qiu Yunqing introduced: "These two are delusional innocent people and delusional real people, they are all my uncles, this little girl is called Lori, and she is my junior sister." β
Lori's identity is not easy to explain, Qiu Yun lightly and directly said that it was his junior sister, and Lori didn't care.
Lao Wang took Qiu Yunqing's hand and said, "The weather is a little cold, let's go to my cold house to talk." β
"Okay, you're in charge. Qiu Yun said politely.
Lao Wang took Qiu Yunqing and four people to his home, his family lived in a relatively remote alley, there were only more than ten households in the small alley, and the courtyard and houses of Lao Wang's family were very small.
Walking into Lao Wang's house, although this house is small, it can at least shelter from the wind and rain. There was a single bed in the room, a small stove on the floor, a stove and a log table with dishes on the table, and nothing else in the room.
"The humble house is very small, you will sit down, and I will go buy some food and drink. Lao Wang smiled and said to the four of them.
Seeing that this house was so simple, Qiu Yun wanted to say that there was no need to bother, but he was too hungry now, so he finally nodded and said, "Just get some vegetarian dishes, you don't have to spend too much." β
Lao Wang still smiled, giving people a very close and gentle feeling, he pushed open the door and picked up the vegetable basket next to the door, and went out to buy vegetables.
Soon after, Lao Wang came back with a basket of vegetables and a jar of wine, which contained vegetables and a piece of beef.
Seeing the vegetable basket and wine that Lao Wang was carrying, Qiu Yunqing hurriedly took it, put it on the ground, and sighed lightly: "Lao Wang, tell you not to break the bank, and also buy wine and meat, this makes me too unhappy, I am a junior, I should buy you something." β
Lao Wang shook his head and smiled: "This is not right, you are here now at my house, you are a guest, I am the host, how can you not prepare wine and food as a master?"
Qiu Yunqing was very grateful, and he was grateful to Lao Wang from the bottom of his heart, and he was very moved in his heart. I and Lori were also very moved, because they were really hungry.
"Lao Wang, according to the generation, I should call you grandpa, grandpa Wang, is there only one person in your family?" At this time, Qiu Yunqing was washing vegetables, and asked Lao Wang, the two of them were burning the fire in front of the stove, originally Lao Wang wanted to work by himself, but Qiu Yunqing was really embarrassed, so he said that he was good at cooking, and he could cook by himself.
Lori was very quiet at the moment, not as active as when she was in the Qiu family's house, standing next to Qiu Yunqing to help him wash the vegetables.
Lao Wang sat on the bed and sighed lightly: "I have done my best for the Wang family for most of my life, let alone marrying a wife and having children, I don't even have time to make friends." Yun Qing, your grandmother Qiao'er told me about your situation in the letter. As a person who has come over, grandpa advises you not to be too attached to some things. Fame, fortune and money are just fleeting, peace and security are better than anything else, don't always think about revenge, I understand your family's feelings of being ruined, but you can't always live in the shadow of hatred. β
Qiu Yun said lightly: "If I don't take revenge, what's the difference between me and the young owner of the Wang family?"
"Then grandpa asked you, do you know who the enemy is, and do you know why your home was destroyed?" Lao Wang sighed lightly and shook his head and said.
Qiu Yun said lightly: "I don't know who my enemy is, but I know that my home was destroyed because my father offended the villain." β
Lao Wang said: "That's right, why did your father offend the villain, isn't it because he was jealous of the villain? β
Qiu Yun put down the dish in his hand, his eyes were very resolute, and said: "I don't take revenge, but the enemy knows that I am still alive, and the ghost knows why he let me live back then, but I can't just keep hiding." So as long as I find the enemy, I must take revenge. β
Lao Wang sighed: "Hey, since you have made up your mind, then I won't say more." Tell us what's next. β
Qiu Yun washed the dishes lightly, put the dishes in the pot, the room was full of aroma, smelling this tempting smell, Lori couldn't wait to eat a big meal.
After the dishes were cooked, there were no extra chairs in this room, so I moved the table to the side of the bed, Qiu Yun served the dishes lightly, and a room of five people gathered around the table to eat.
Lori was small, and she couldn't reach the dishes on the table when she stood on the ground, so she sat on the bed with Lao Wang. Qiu Yunqing and the two uncles stood on the ground.
Qiu Yun poured a bowl of wine lightly, toasted Lao Wang, and the two of them also opened their mouths and drank a bowl.
Although the Qiu family used to be in the wine business, after a bowl of wine, Qiu Yun was a little dizzy and couldn't find the north, and his alcohol consumption was very poor.
Half-drunk and half-awake, Qiu Yunqing's tongue was curled, and he said inarticulately: "I plan to fight the name of Qiu's winery again, I just want to let the people who ruined my family know that I, Qiu Yunqing, am not only alive, but also alive very well!"
The vain naΓ―ve people helped Qiu Yunqing, who was about to get drunk, and sighed lightly: "This kid is too obsessed, none of us can persuade him." However, no matter who encounters such a thing, no matter who encounters it, it will not be easy to let go. β
Lao Wang looked at Qiu Yunqing, nodded suddenly, and said, "Yunqing, this kid is able to hide his emotions at a young age, it's really not easy. Just now, the old man mentioned the destruction of his family many times, but he didn't show too much excitement, which is difficult for anyone to do, he is so forbearing, he will definitely achieve something in the future. β
The delusional innocent people were also deeply touched and agreed, and the delusional real people also said "um" to express their approval.
Eat and drink well, the naΓ―ve people clean up the table, Lori's little belly is bulging, and she is lying on the bed and is reluctant to get up.
At this time, Qiu Yunqing was already drunk and unconscious, and fell asleep on the bed. Lao Wang also left for the time being, and he didn't know what to do. The two of us stood on the ground with big eyes and small eyes, and were speechless for a while.
