The world is heavy and late

Chapter 320 Wu Chuan
Wu Chuan has been in Yizhou City for several years. Although he is a businessman, there are really not many people who still have contact with him before.

There was an accident in the family that year, and the people around were scattered overnight.

In fact, he doesn't blame anyone, one is the Yang family, and the other is a local gentry with some spare money, can he still ask others to carry it with him?
But it's not to blame, it's not to blame, the cold heart is really cold.

That child, Xiaoyuan, looks heartless on weekdays, and she can handle accidents better than anyone else. She sneakily followed the team entering the palace, and ran around the courtyard with her nephew before she left. go.

Wu Chuan remembered that he was so anxious that day that he was unwilling to send a girl to someone else, but this girl was still running around like a child who didn't grow up, as if she didn't notice the whole family's worries at all. , He called people over just to reprimand him.

Who knew that the next day the girl packed her bags and said with a smile, "Father, I'm going to enter the palace with the shopping lord."

Wu Chuan was so shocked that he dropped the old smoking gun in his hand. The people in the county were beating gongs and drums and said that they all knew that the palace was buying palace ladies, but they went in to be slaves.

He, Wu Chuan, doesn't have any great skills, but he started from scratch, and now he has several shops, with surplus food every year, and even a motorcade is about to be formed, how could he send a good girl to be a slave.

He stretched out his hand to pull the burden on Xiaoyuan's back, and pointed at the girl's head with his fingers, saying: "Behave yourself, and see what's going on at home, why don't you stay at home well?" wait."

Wu Xiaoyuan's baby fat is so clearly visible that when she gave her father a glance, she didn't feel disrespectful at all, on the contrary she felt quite cute.

She finished eating the oil leftovers that her mother gave her and said: "I know, father, but I have already handed in my name, and I even took the money for selling myself, so you look through it."

While talking, he chewed the oil residue in his mouth, and felt that the oil residue made by her mother today was a bit salty.

Wuchuan, an old man in his 40s and nearly half a century old, looked through his baggage as if he didn't believe in evil. He really found some silver and a contract of prostitution.

Master Wu, who has been strong for half his life, was dissuaded by his son next to him, looking for a stick while his eyes were red, and wanted to teach this girl a lesson.

The scene was chaotic, and the kitchen door opened after a long time. Wu Chuan's daughter-in-law carried a small burden, her eyes were red, but she looked much calmer than Wu Chuan.

Wu Chuan looked at the talent and understood everything now, pointed at his daughter-in-law tremblingly and said, "You, you, the household registration you gave her?"

Finally, Wu Chuan's daughter-in-law couldn't help it, she rushed forward to hug Wu Xiaoyuan, who was already 11 years old but not tall at all, and began to howl.

"Xiaoyuan, mother is sorry, mother can't help it, mother really can't help it."

Wu Chuan helped his son up, walked to his wife step by step, his face darkened and he wanted to get angry.

Wu Xiaoyuan licked the oil residue at the corner of her mouth with her tongue, reached out to hug her mother and patted her mother comfortingly: "Mom, I want to go by myself, the palace, there must be a lot of delicious food."

As soon as these words came out, not only was there no comfort at all, on the contrary, the people in the yard cried even harder.

This silly boy, all the delicious food in Miyagi is for the master, so how can a slave have anything delicious?

Wu Chuan remembered that they sent the little girl away together that day. Before leaving, the little girl turned her head and waved at them. Watching the food her mother prepared for her.

No matter how much Wu Chuan urged, it became: "Eat less, the road is far away, save a little and be careful of starvation."

It is rare for Wu Xiaoyuan, who is scared by her father every day, not to be frightened. Not only did she stuff a mouthful of pastry into her mouth, her cheeks swelled up, she turned her head to look at Wu Chuan, and then she lowered her head and walked away quickly as if hiding .

Since then, Wu Chuan has left Puyang County. He has some wealth, although it is not much, it can be regarded as upper-middle in Puyang County.

But this time, on the one hand, he was severely suppressed by the Yang family, and on the other hand, maybe it was because a friend in adversity really saw the truth, and only then did he see the coldness of the world.

He tried his best to resist the pressure of the aristocratic family and refused to let them monopolize in Puyang, so that the small merchants and common people in Puyang could live like a person, and even for this, he abandoned his daughter and let her enter Gong became a slave.

But in the end, it was the group of small merchants and people he guarded who avoided him, as if he was the plague.

I don't feel anything special, just that there seems to be a hole in my heart, and I don't know where it leads to, and the cold wind is blowing.

He couldn't tell whether he regretted a little bit because he was preparing to enter the palace with his wife, or regretted a little bit when he sent it away.

He is not willing to give it away, the Yang family clearly wants to use him to further monopolize it, but the son who is pushed out is still a worthless thing, and he is absolutely not willing to part with his Xiaoyuan.

But after entering the palace, there was no more news.

The power of Yizhou City is even more complicated than that of Puyang County, but no one can be regarded as the dominant state without the King of Yizhou. Wu Chuan took a fancy to this, and moved here to live his life with some ability It's booming.

It's a pity that the very famous and very lucky little girl of the Wu family has never been seen again. She has round eyes and a small round face, and her mouth is always bulging. Everyone in the neighbors at that time didn't like it. Small snacks for her.

Wu Chuan is over half a hundred years old, his hair is gray and gray, and generally speaking, it is a little bit more gray.

He stared at the door as if he was looking at someone, as if he was waiting for someone. Wu Erlang's youngest son stepped across the high threshold on short legs, holding a pastry in his hand, and walked all the way.

But he was reluctant to eat it, and when he was in front of his grandfather, he brought his pair of dirty cakes to Wu Chuan's mouth and said, "Grandfather, eat cakes."

Wu Chuan came back to his senses, hugged his little grandson and coaxed: "Oh, the grandfather doesn't eat it, but the grandson and grandson eat it."

The little grandson stuffed it into his mouth unceremoniously, bulging, looking so similar, Wu Chuan stroked the little grandson's soft hair with his hand, the little grandson turned his head and said unwillingly: "Grandpa, go out and play."

Wu Chuan pinched his little grandson's little face, the delicate touch made Wu Chuan smile and said: "You go, come back early for dinner, be careful that your mother beats you, grandfather is waiting for someone here."

The little grandson didn't know how many times he had heard his grandfather say it, but he still said with interest: "Are you waiting for aunt? Last time I mentioned that my aunt was punished to stand for stealing snacks. What's next?"

Wu Chuan's eyes were about to close together, he looked at the door and said, "Next..."

……

At the time of the watch, the whole family had just finished eating together when suddenly the door was knocked three times.

The members of the Wu family looked at the door together, but there was no sound at the door anymore. Wu Chuan seemed to have a premonition in his heart, and stopped the butler next to him from opening the door.

Tremblingly, he said: "Don't move, don't move, I will go by myself."

"Father." "Master"

Everyone stood up and wanted to support Wu Chuan. The old man who looked tough on weekdays was now a little fragile for no reason, which surprised his wife, children and servants.

Wu Chuan didn't care about others, he always felt that the time had come, he had been to the capital several years ago, and sent many letters, but there was no news.

He opened the door, and there was silence all around. Suddenly, it was the watchman on the street who made a noise. Everyone looked around, but Wu Chuan kept staring at the small box in front of the door.

Everyone's eyes slowly gathered here, Wu Dalang couldn't help but said: "This is..."

Wu Chuan was silent for a long time, and a whimper disturbed the night, and it spread straight into the distance.

Xia Qing and Xu Zhong stood at the corner of the street, they were in the shadows, and Wu Chuan's family was in the light of the gate.

Xia Qing sat in the carriage today and watched the people coming and going, as well as the Wu family who kept the door open all the time. The son came in and the grandson went out. It was a big family.

It wasn't until night fell, when Gengshen slid across the slowly silent street, that Xia Qing asked someone to drive the carriage back, and went up quietly with his things.

Knock on the door three times, people inside the door have a premonition, and people outside the door come and go in a hurry.

Xia Qing stood there with his hands behind his back, without moving his eyes: "Elder-in-law, do you know why I told them the truth directly?"

Xia Qing knew how much the Wu family missed Wu Xiaoyuan, so of course she could rely on the thick wall of the palace gate to pretend to be another Wu Xiaoyuan, at least the Wu family would not suffer so much, but she didn't.

Xu Zhong also had his hands behind his back, leaning on Xia Qing's shoulder, but he only glanced at the scene at the gate of the Wu family, and then his eyes kept falling on Xia Qing.

"Because you are not her, they should know."

Xia Qing couldn't help feeling that Xu Zhong was gentle and considerate. There was obviously another reason, but Xu Zhong just said another one.

In fact, Xia Qing never thought of pretending to be Wu Xiaoyuan. The most important reason is that she can't act at all.

She seldom feels the kindness of her parents, no matter in this life or the previous life, the relationship between her parents is too far away from her.
