Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 26 Mo Yan's Sorrow and Wang Xiu's Smile
The Wang family's lunch is quite sumptuous, and Wang Xiu is now a rich man!He has hard currency.Stir-fried mutton with scallions, roasted leg of lamb, sweet and sour carp, braised pork in soy sauce, pig ears and a few pigment spots, a large bottle of lychee honey and a pot of turbid wine. It tasted so good, I couldn't believe it yesterday.

Mrs. Xie did not forget Widow Li after cooking, so she asked Wang Qingzhu to use a food box to pack a plate of fried lamb with green onions and a plate of braised pork. After all, Widow Li was very kind to his family and extended a helping hand when they were most in danger. On weekdays, they also share some family food for them. Neighbors should help each other. People respect each other one foot, and I respect others one foot. This is what Wang Xiu admires most about Mrs. Xie.

"Mother, my daughter will never marry the county captain, she will marry you."

As soon as Wang Qingzhu arrived at the door, she heard Qin Moyan's voice coming from inside. Women are all gossiping, so they stopped to listen carefully.

"My daughter! That's the county magistrate. Besides, she's kind to us. Just think about how you tell mother to answer." Widow Li's voice was full of anxiety.

"My daughter just doesn't want to marry. I don't know what would have happened if my brother didn't protect me. The county lieutenant obviously has bad intentions."

"Hey, I said. You don't go."

Wang Qingzhu was listening, when Qin Moyan came out, she immediately made a big face, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly: "What are you doing, little lady?"

"Elder Sister." Youqin Mo Yan seemed to have thought of something, his face flushed slightly, but he ran away sadly.

Widow Li just came out, and when she saw Wang Qingzhu carrying a food box, she forced a smile and said, "Eldest sister of the Wang family! Come and sit in the room."

"Ma'am, my mother has made some food and wants me to bring some to my mother." Wang Qingzhu blinked and handed over the food box.

"Thank you lady for being so polite, how can this be done?" Widow Li wanted to decline, although she was smiling but very reluctantly.

"Auntie, my mother said that my mother is good. Today my brother bought a few catties of mutton and sent it over after cooking. Auntie, my family has to leave beforehand." Wang Qingzhu hurriedly left with an excuse.

"This child, why does it look like he has his feet pierced, mutton." Widow Li shook her head, opened the food box, her expression flickered, and she said to herself: "Where did this Wang Dalang get the money? It can't be. Bah Pooh."

Before lunch was finished, He Laodao came to the door eagerly with his cart and his buddy. The smiling face was a blooming chrysanthemum, the mouse whiskers trembled, and his mouth was full of Chinese New Year words.When he saw a room full of bright white sugar, his mouse eyes narrowed into a line, his eyes were so fiery!It's like a strong man with a beard who has been abstinent for three months, suddenly finds an old sow running into the house, and can't wait.The Buddha of Infinite Life!Sins, sins.

The 160 catties of white sugar were all loaded onto the cart, and the [-] dual-purpose official silver covered with red mounting paper was placed on the table in a black lacquered flat-bottomed tray.

He Laodao and Wang Cheng chatted and laughed a few words, not at all guilty of leaving the county government, like a pair of iron buddies who have passed their lives, but his eyes have long been on Wang Xiu, which is so flattering .

Wang Xiu, however, stood on the sidelines, without looking sideways, as if he had a father and a son who did not speak, completely forgetting that he and Wang Cheng went to the Wanshixing branch to talk about it, this attitude made He Laodao a toothache.

In the end, when he was leaving, He Laodao said to Wang Cheng, Wang Xiu and his son who were sending out the gate: "You don't have to worry about sending it away, little official, and I will send the brown sugar in three days."

Wang Xiu smiled, nodded reservedly, and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper He. I'll ask shopkeeper He to inspect it on the day the sugar comes out."

"Little officials, please don't say anything." He Laodao Chunchun told him that he was going to make a blockbuster, so he couldn't get through the news.

Wang Xiu looked at Wang Cheng meaningfully, smiled and said nothing, he still couldn't understand how dirty He Laodao was.

Wang Chengxin sighed, knowing that his son let him be the master, it gave him the confidence to stand up again, and he could not disappoint his son's kindness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master He, after the delivery of the three thousand catties of sugar, the two parties will have to renegotiate the price and supply." goods."

Wang Cheng's sudden words made He Laodao startled. He glanced over Wang Xiu in surprise, looked at that calm face, and thought to himself, "What a little fox!"However, he can be regarded as a filial son,' he said with a smile, "My lord Wang has a good boy!"

"It's overrated." Wang Cheng said modestly, but he was very proud in his heart, but he still felt a lot of disappointment.

After He Laodao ordered the car to go, Widow Li came over, left the car and walked away, and then said cautiously: "Master, what is He Laodao doing at your house? Could it be that your family wants it again. Oh, I said that your lunch is sheep again." It's pig's again, dare to show love." Before finishing speaking, a pair of eyes stared at Wang Cheng, as if staring at a thief.

Wang Cheng avoided Widow Li's fiery gaze, coughed twice and said, "Ms. Li, I feel unwell in the lower body, go back and rest first." As he spoke, the man hastily avoided, leaving Wang Xiu behind unjustly. .

"I said Da Lang! You can't live like this, no, I'll go talk to Mrs. Xie." Widow Li glared at Wang Xiu, and hurriedly followed Wang Cheng into the door.

Wang Xiu stood in front of the gate, and Wang Cheng stood inside the gate. The father and son looked at each other, and suddenly laughed happily at the same time, causing Widow Li to mutter as she walked, "Are the two fathers and sons poor and crazy? Let Mrs. Xie take care of them." Take care. '

"Father, you are very unkind." Wang Xiuzi opened his eyes, joking with Wang Cheng for the first time in several months.

With one hand behind his back, Wang Cheng smiled and said humorously: "Who dares to provoke Widow Li."

Mrs. Xie and Wang Qingzhu were very happy. The mother and daughter were talking when they saw Widow Li come in. Mrs. Xie stood up to greet her and said, "Miss Li is here."

"Xie Niangzi, I happened to be looking for you for something, you look at the officials and their father and son."

When Widow Li was nagging, Mrs. Xie had a weird look on her face, and she couldn't get in the way at all, so she could only let Widow Li kindly make noise.

Wang Qingzhu resigned with a smile, found Wang Xiu with a depressed face, and said with concern: "Brother Xiu, you have money and an advance supply, what do you plan to do?"

"What's Eldest Sister's plan?" Wang Xiu fiddled with the pots and pans.

Wang Qingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Brother Xiu is testing me?"

Wang Xiu nodded seriously, and said, "That's right! Otherwise, how can you be the big shopkeeper of Wangji Shop."

"Big treasurer." Wang Qingzhu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "it's not easy. The 160 taels of official silver can be converted into almost 170 guan. Pay a hundred guan to buy brown sugar."

Wang Xiu was sweating profusely. He really deserves to be a shopkeeper. He even counted the food and drink expenses today.
However, according to Wang Qingzhu's thinking, he spent the extra money to buy more brown sugar. Baiguan's sugar does not need to be given to He Laodao. It is not authentic for He Laodao to sell it by himself or his own, or provide it to other shops. , but business is like this, there is nothing out of the ordinary, just making money.

The value given by He Laodao was close to [-] guan, not counting the two taels of silver that he gave first, which was an obvious gesture of favor, and the purpose was to arrange it exclusively.

It's a pity that this is impossible. Don't say that eight hundred catties of white sugar is rare. Liu Laodao will definitely sell it for a good price. Just three thousand catties can make the other party make a lot of money, let alone the Wang family. How much money the other party can earn with the strength money turned over.

In a word, there is no moral guilt, everything is a transaction.If He Laodao has the courage to raise the price, it is all right to continue to supply him with sugar.

While Wang Qingzhu was talking, she seemed to think of something, changed the subject, and said: "Brother Xiu, I went to Mrs. Li's house at noon, but I heard their mothers bickering, it seems that someone proposed marriage."

"Marriage proposal, um, Aunt Li is still young, and she is barely beautiful, so I don't know who will get it." Wang Xiu muttered heartlessly, and teased Widow Li, but he didn't put his mind on it. .

Wang Qingzhu rolled her eyes at Wang Xiu. Widow Li will hear her words, and she will not turn her brother into a pig. She said angrily: "I see you are looking for money. You are talking about the young lady's matchmaker, not Aunt Li."

"Her! There are still people who dare to marry her, she is still so young." Wang Xiu chuckled, still calculating silently in her heart.Suddenly, I felt something was wrong, and I came back to my senses, stared at Wang Qingzhu with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "What, yes. How is it possible, who is it?"

Wang Qingzhu stared at Wang Xiu helplessly with the eyes of an idiot, and said angrily: "That is a peerless beauty embryo, the piano player and Aunt Li have accumulated a lot of virtues to give birth to such a beauty. In my eyes, it becomes who dares to marry her."

Wang Xiu scratched her head in embarrassment, and said, "I'm not busy."

"Hey, I see the little lady Qin is sighing and sighing, and she is very uncomfortable." Wang Qingzhu glanced at Wang Xiu, sighed softly, and said, "You said that the county captain is really older than Aunt Li. , to be able to open his mouth, what a pervert, this man doesn't have many good things."

Wang Xiu's heart tightened, she didn't care about Wang Qingzhu's high opinion, she felt weird in her heart, no wonder the county captain came to the door in person because of the sesame and mung bean mess, it turned out that the old widower Ke Ermeng had a strong secretion!His mind was in a mess, he pinched his nose, and said, "Something's wrong, hey, it's hard for her."

"Send the money from Miss Youqin, including the principal and interest." Wang Qingzhu glanced at Wang Xiu playfully, seeing her brother's slightly anxious face, she smiled wickedly.
