Chapter 343 Relatives or Enemies?
Wang Fulin knew that there were a lot of people in the front door of the Governor's Yamen, so he would not want to go out like this with Wang Daoguan and be watched by people. ~, and it was too late at this moment, and the famous Wang Daoguan in Hankou Town where Hui merchants gathered, so he made an appointment with Wang Daoguan to meet at the teahouse near the Hanyang County Yamen in the afternoon. Then, led by Wang Daoguan's entourage, quietly took a carriage out from the back door.
Although most of the people who came to visit the front door were crowded at the front door, and those who were hiring in the back door were spying on them, but when they were blocked, they naturally couldn't get up. They could only see Wang Fulin getting on the carriage and driving out of the narrow alley.
As for Bao Shucheng and other entourages who were waiting in front of the gate, they left immediately after getting the call from the door, which made the visitors who were waiting for Wang Fulin to come out and find out what was the truth. Some even wondered where the relatives came from, and Wang Daokun actually left the person in the government office?
Bao Shucheng also wanted to know the truth, so when he accompanied Wang Fulin back to the hostel on Xin'an Street, Hankou Town, he asked the followers about the relationship between Wang Fulin and Wang Daokun, but everyone was as tight as a bottle, but he became more and more curious. When he learned that Wang Fulin was not going out that night, he simply got up early the next day to wait. When he accompanied Wang Fulin and his party to the teahouse near the Hanyang County Government, he had not waited for a long time, and saw a young man in blue shirt bringing two followers in smiling. Seeing Wang Fulin and others stand up to greet him, most of the followers called the second master, Bao Shucheng immediately jumped.
Wang Daokun's two younger brothers are known as Erzhong, with a very famous literary name and are ranked second at home. Could it be that this second master is one of them? Therefore, when he heard Wang Fulin called his uncle, he thought of his previous experience in the Hanyang County Government, he would not mention the surprise and shock in his heart. Could that Master Wang, who was obviously not welcomed, really was a relative of Wang Daokun, the governor of Huguang?
The reason why Bao Shucheng came to the door today and Wang Fulin didn't drive away the person was because he was worried that this smart guy would realize something. Instead of letting someone ruin his own affairs, it would be better to keep it with him, and maybe it would be useful. Yesterday in the Governor's Office, he and Wang Daoguan basically finalized all kinds of situations. Although Wang Daoguan was reluctant to stand up and be this evil person, he heard Wang Fulin sigh and say that Wang Daoyun was hitting walls everywhere in the Hanyang County Office but still had to suffer face. He thought about it and could only agree. At this moment, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked again.
"No matter what, your father is my clan brother. Do you really want me to be my younger brother?"
"Otherwise, when will he return home?" Wang Fulin talked about how Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei missed their parents, and then bowed and whispered, "And, only uncle can perform such a play well and grasp the right measure. From the Hanyang County Magistrate to the lower-level master and his two young men, since they both hate my father, they will most likely seize the opportunity to drive people away. Let's look at me next. In short, this time I owe my uncle a huge favor and solve this matter. Let's discuss another major business matter."
"Okay, okay, I owe you!" Wang Daoguan said this, but he knew in his heart that Wang Fulin had charged forward for the Wang family in Songmingshan in the first place, and solved the things that his elder brother Wang Daokun could not come forward to do. He should also help him with this. However, it was too difficult to ask him, a person who was not very involved in the shopping mall, to come forward to ask for the debt. Wang Fulin must have done it on purpose!
In the west wing of the east side courtyard of the Hanyang County Magistrate's Office, Wu looked at the letter he sent yesterday over and over again, and his eyes gradually turned red. She left Huizhou for the first time in her life, and left her young children for the first time. She left her son's letter for more than a year, but she had sent several letters from her son, but she still didn't know when she could go back. Although Wang Fulin reported good news but not bad news in the letter, and her husband hated contact with those fellow villager Hui people, she secretly asked someone to go out to inquire about some news. Although she didn't know the details, she also knew that many things happened at home while she and her husband were away. If she could, she would want to put on her wings and fly back.
But her husband is so relieved! When her husband finally recovered from serious illness, but he couldn't continue his business, he refused to return home. If she hadn't heard about it, Zhou Xianzun, the magistrate of Hanyang County, was looking for a servant for two young masters in her family, so she kept telling her husband and asked someone to tell her, how could anyone come to ask Wang Daoyun to go to the house? But Wang Daoyun was fine, and she tried her best to separate her relationship with Wang Daokun. Even when the new governor of Huguang came to inspect Hanyang Mansion, he simply hid out. Now, the two masters respected by the county even spread the news behind her back, saying that her husband had no relatives and Wang Daokun but had a grudge!
If this continues, the Hanyang County Government will not be able to stay there. How can the family pay the 7,000 taels of silver owed by Wang Daokun and Wang Daokun?
Just when Wu was secretly frowning, the gate was babbling, and she quickly turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes. When she looked up, it was Wang Daoyun who walked into the house with her hands behind her back. Although there was a smile on his face, she still clearly saw the ink traces that had not been completely wiped clean. Knowing that the two young men from the Zun family in Zhou County were acting obedient in front of him, the subordinates made things difficult for Wang Daoyun to tease him. However, Wang Daoyun did nothing except scolding him, but she had too strong self-esteem. So she could only pretend to be unaware of it and stood up to greet him.
"Mom Long took Xiaoju to buy things. You have been in class for so long, so I'll make a pot of tea."
"My wife doesn't have to work hard." Wang Daoyun called Wu, hesitated for a moment before laughing, "It's not a cold day, just drink some cold water."
He seemed to be light, but Wu knew the implicit sound. The other two masters did not bring their families, only the girls who warmed the bed, so they were all made together in the kitchen of the magistrate's magistrate's office, and they could only burn water there. He heard that the kitchen there seemed to be unwilling to give them a little hot water, which was obviously forcing them to leave. Seeing Wang Daoyun taking a book and sitting on the corner of the bed and reading it, her eyes were obviously absent-minded. She was angry and anxious, but she knew that just saying this would have the opposite effect. She had to bite her lip and think quickly about what else she could do.
At this moment, a harsh voice came from outside: "Is Master Wang here? Is your relative here to look for him."
relative?
This noun that is already somewhat unfamiliar made Wang Daoyun stunned. Although the Wang family in Songmingshan has a large population, except for farming or studying, only Wang Daokun is an official outside. As for those who do business, they are all concentrated in Lianghuai as salt merchants. This is also the reason why he chose to go to Hankou Town. If he can't meet his fellow villagers, he will not think of embarrassing past events all the time. At this moment, his face changed for a while. He wanted to make excuses of being uncomfortable, but it was fine to teach students in the morning, so how could he avoid relatives?
"Go and have a look." Wu saw Wang Daoyun like this and knew what he was thinking. He could only persuade him tactfully, "Otherwise, others are afraid that they will gossip you."
What Wang Daoyun couldn't stand the most was being gossiped about, so he immediately left Shu and stood up. When he tidied up his clothes and pretended to be calm and went out, he saw a person standing in the yard that he had never expected to be expected no matter what! Seeing that the person who was accompanying Qian Gu Master Liu Qian, who had always been sarcastic to him, he finally showed a very reluctant smile: "Zhongyan, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, will Brother Yun always avoid my brother?" Wang Daoguan walked up with a smile. Today, because of Wang Fulin's request, he brought another outfit and just changed into a teahouse. He was not very silly on weekdays and now he is wearing a Gaochun Luoshu, a bright red Taoist robe with a thousand-bells of sour brocade, and a pair of Arhats on his feet. If it were those who knew him, he would be stunned when he saw his outfit, but Wang Daoyun, who had been deliberately avoiding him, certainly did not belong to the category of acquaintances. At this moment, he only felt that the other party was rich and arrogant, and he seemed more and more cramped.
Mr. Qian Gu, who was standing beside him, was just because he learned that Mr. Wang was looking for Mr. Wang's relatives from the back door of the official hall, and looked obviously worth an extraordinary person. He took the initiative to come to the reception. His biggest worry was that Mr. Wang was not as poor as he looked on the surface, but had a capable relative backer. He heard the two of them saying this back and forth, and he tasted the so-called relatives and immediately urged him: "That's true to Mr. Wang. If a relative comes from afar, how can he stand in the yard and speak? By the way, your room is too cramped, so why should you go to my place to talk. Of course, don't worry, I will avoid it."
The seven thousand taels of debt was pressed on his body. The one Wang Daoyun was the one who was most unwilling to see was Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan brothers. But now when he saw him, he was afraid that he would think he was deliberately stolen, so when Wang Daoguan teased him, his face immediately turned blue and white. When he heard Liu Qian's words, he became even more uncomfortable. In the end, he was so stupid that he could put on a few words.
"Zhongyan, don't worry, I have always kept that account in my heart. No cent or a cent will be less than yours. If I can't pay it back, and there is still my son, and my son can't pay it back, my grandson will definitely give it back to you!"
Wang Daoguan didn't expect that he would not have to pretend to be a villain to collect debts. Wang Daoyun, a stupid goose, actually revealed this thing in front of outsiders. He was angry and funny. He said that he would not lose you at all. It was impossible to have a penny or a cent missing. He thought that he had to rely on his children and grandchildren to pay the debt? Fortunately, Wang Fulin was successful in doing things, otherwise he would have to be in trouble if he had such an unreliable father!
Seeing Liu Qian beside him pricking up his ears to listen to their words, Wang Daoguan deliberately smiled and said, "How come Brother Yun treats me as a debt collection? It's only 7,000 taels of silver, how can I take it and my elder brother in my heart?"
Seven thousand taels!
Liu Qian's expression suddenly changed, while Wang Daoyun no longer dared to look up. Behind the door of the west wing, Wu saw this scene through the crack in the door, and almost couldn't help but want to rush out, but in the end he forced himself to endure it.
Chapter completed!
