Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 25 Xu Xiang Fengyun ([-])

Donglai County

Xu Township
Since Jiaodong King Liu Xiongqu was killed, Donglai County was separated from Jiaodong Kingdom and directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

"Roujiamo, just out of the oven and still hot, only ten cents a piece."

"Scallion pancakes, three scallion pancakes each."

"Sun's food store, cheap and affordable."

"Young gentleman, come quickly, the girls are all waiting~"

"My lord, please buy my daughter. I haven't eaten for many days."

"Fuck off, your daughter is not a beautiful woman, buying it back is a waste of my family's food."

"Hey, old He, there is something wrong with the hoe you gave me last time. It only took a few days for a chip to appear. Did you cut corners?"

"A top-notch Maxima is only short of a Bole, who knows the goods."

With the arrival of autumn and the cooler weather, Xu Township is no longer as dry and hot as the previous few months. Many Xu Township people go out of their homes to wander around.

The peasants carried manure from the city to the outskirts of the farmland to fertilize, preparing for this year's autumn planting and winter harvest. Playful children held their parents' hands to buy this and that. Small vendors yelled to sell goods. Then I was intoxicated in the gentle hometown of the girl in the flower building, and the powerless people sat on the street waiting to freeze to death and starve to death.

There are also some boys and girls who have been tortured and cut up begging on the street.

On the side of the road, from time to time, a few desperate civilians can be seen committing suicide in public in the crowd, leaving this miserable world ahead of time. A starving baby girl was abandoned on the side of the road. The meat is eaten clean, but the people passing by have long been accustomed to it.

The sky was bright, but it felt dark.

creak-

A luxury carriage came and crushed a rotten and smelly corpse in the middle of the road. The sound of human bones being smashed was clear and loud, as if a girl in a flower building was stroking the strings.

A gust of breeze blew, and the beaded curtains of the carriage lifted, revealing the youthful face of a beautiful woman.

The woman looked indifferent, and took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, so as not to be disgusted by the smell of rotting corpses outside the carriage, the smell of the sweat of the peasants, the stench of all kinds of food, and the smell of feces on the roadside.

The men on the side of the road looked at the woman in the bead curtain, all intoxicated with fantasy.

"What a beautiful woman, who is she?" Someone asked in confusion.

"It seems to be the lady of the Wang family in Liaodong." Some people who had contact with the upper class replied.

"I really want to be a dog for Miss Wang's family, but unfortunately I'm not qualified, alas..." Some rather handsome teenagers, who dreamed of being a rich woman, shook their heads and sighed at the carriage.

Under everyone's gaze, the carriage came to the gate of Old Master Xu's mansion in the city.

"Call-"

Following the groom's voice, the carriage stopped. The groom dismounted first, and then respectfully said to the woman in the carriage: "Master, we have arrived at Xu Mansion."

"Ah."

The voice of the woman in the carriage is very pleasant, like a clear spring, one wishes to have a few more ears to hear it more clearly, so that one can enjoy it for a while.

Hearing this indifferent answer, the groom knelt on the ground, his forehead almost touching the ground, and continued to respectfully say to the woman in the car: "Master, you can get out of the car."

There was no sound in the carriage, only two maids got out of the carriage stepping on the back of the groom, one maid was holding a huge roll of cloth, and the other was holding a roll of silk.

After the two maids got out of the car, they unfolded the pink cloth and spread it on the ground that had been cleaned by the servants of the Xu family, and put another layer of pink silk on top of this layer of pink cloth.

Afterwards, another maid opened the bead curtain. This maid first stepped on the back of the groom, then took the delicate hand of the woman in the carriage, walked slowly to the ground, and led the woman in the carriage to the back of the groom.

The woman in the car stepped on the back of the groom, and led by the maid, the jade shoots fell on the pink silk on the ground, and walked into Xu Mansion along the Silk Road.

"Meet Wang Shaojun!"

The servants guarding the gate of the Xu Mansion had known the news in advance, and as soon as they saw the woman in the carriage approaching, they immediately knelt down and bowed their heads in humility and respect.

"Wang Shaojun is here in person, but I can't greet you from a distance, so I'm so rude!" Mrs. Xu walked out of the mansion. Today, he was not in the manor outside the city, but after learning that the Wang family was going to come to Xu Township to discuss important matters with him, he went early. Waiting in the mansion in the city, I thought it would be Wang Song from the Wang family, but I didn't expect it to be Wang Luojiao from the Wang family.

Although Wang Luojiao is a woman, men and women are equal within the blood of the Liaodong Wang family, so the women of the Liaodong Wang family can also be called Shaojun, just like the men of the Wang family.

More than five years later, Wang Ruojiao, who was still a 16-year-old girl at the time, has matured a lot, and the immaturity on her face has faded, but she is still unmarried.

In Dahan, a 22-year-old unmarried woman is considered an advanced age, but the Wang family never cared about these etiquettes in the Central Plains.

In other words, the Wang family knows the etiquette of the Central Plains very well, and there are special teachers who explain the etiquette of the Central Plains.

But the Wang family's attitude towards the etiquette of the Central Plains has always been that when it is needed, it is more etiquette than the gentry in the Central Plains, and when it is not needed, it is a red tape that can be thrown away.

"Luojiao, I have met Mr. Xu, but I haven't seen you for many months. Mr. Xu, you are still so lively." Wang Ruojiao smiled at Old Master Xu.

"Hahaha, Wang Shaojun was joking. I don't know how long this old man can last. The world belongs to you young people after all." Old Master Xu stroked his beard lightly and laughed, and then bowed to Wang Yaojiao Said: "Wang Shaojun, please!"

After entering the house, the maids served tea and water for Wang Laojiao.

Old Master Xu on the side was blowing hot tea with a smile on his face, but he never said a word.

"Now that Jiaodong Kingdom has been destroyed for several years, the Chang'an court has set aside Donglai County, and Xu Township is in a state of ruins. At this opportunity, Mr. Xu, do you have any idea of ​​expanding the Xu family's business?" Wang Luo pretended to drink tea for a long time. Jiao couldn't sit still, she was still a young woman with no experience after all, so she put down the hot tea in her hand, and couldn't help but question Old Master Xu tentatively.

"Huh? Haha, Wang Shaojun is too flattering to the old man. How dare I have such a thought in my dying body. On the contrary, Wang Shaojun, you are young and promising, and you are so proud of the crowd as a woman. I really admire you." Old Master Xu called Practicing Tai Chi, she did not directly answer Wang Ruojiao's probing questions.

"Old Master Xu doesn't think about himself, he should also think about his own children." Wang Laojiao still couldn't hold back her temper, and gradually she was about to reveal her true intentions.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Old Master Xu still just smiled cheerfully, drank a sip of hot tea, and asked Wang Ruojiao in turn, "But Wang Shaojun, why don't you find a good man? Is there no Young Master in Xu Township that you would like?"

"Ah?" Unmarried women are most annoyed by being asked this kind of question. Wang Laojiao blushed a little, and then pretended to drink tea, not daring to speak any more, but secretly complained in her heart: "What an old fox."

Seeing that Mrs. Xu just kept complimenting herself, but refused to talk about serious business, Wang Luojiao had no choice but to directly reveal the reason for her visit: "Laojiao came here for two reasons."

"Oh? Hehehe~" Seeing that he had taken the initiative, Old Master Xu chuckled, took a sip of hot tea, and then smiled slightly at Wang Ruojiao: "It's okay to say, Wang Shaojun."

"First, Wang Changzhi, the eldest son of my lord of the Wang family, is now five years old, and he wants to marry Mr. Xu's great-granddaughter, so that we can get closer, Mr. Xu..." Wang Laojiao told the truth about the first thing.

"Mr. Ning Wei is too flattering to the old man. How can the old man's great-granddaughter He De be so blessed." Old Master Xu continued to compliment and observe the situation, neither rushing to agree nor immediately rejecting.

Regarding this old fox, Wang Luojiao had no choice but to continue: "Secondly, my Liaodong Wang family wants to open a grain store in Xu Township and sell wheat grain in Xu Township. I also hope that you, Mr. Xu..."

"This..." Compared with the first matter, this second matter finally made Old Master Xu start to think seriously. He doesn't need to care about a great-granddaughter getting married as a marriage tool, but he must care about the Liaodong royal family's intention to get involved in the grain market in Xu Township. Therefore, after being silent for a long time, he sighed to Wang Luojiao: "Wang Shaojun doesn't know that the local grain market in Xu Township has long been monopolized by the three major grain merchants in Xu Township, and these three major grain merchants have relationships with the local tycoons in Xu Township." Deep down, your Liaodong royal family is a foreigner, and to the three major grain merchants, you are not a good person, if you insist on opening a grain business in Xu Township, I am afraid that Xu Township will be turned upside down."

After all, Old Master Xu added: "The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion a few years ago has already tormented the people of Xu Township enough, and the people of Xu Township haven't recovered yet. I think Young Master also saw those people on the road. What a miserable situation, they really can't stand another toss!"

"But my lord has said that no matter whether the people of Xu Township accept it or not, no matter whether Xu Township's tycoons accept it or not, our Liaodong royal family must enter Xu Township. The people of Xu Township must either actively accept it or accept it passively. Anyway, they must accept it!" Wang Wang said. Ruojiao's attitude is very tough. These tyrants in Xuxiang County may be slightly stronger than the Liaodong Wang family in combination, but if they fight alone, no Xu Xiang tycoon can be the opponent of the Liaodong Wang family.

"This..." Old Master Xu was speechless, thinking about various variables in his mind, and hadn't made a final decision yet.
