Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Wang Heng and Xiao Cai rode green donkeys, bathed in the spring sun, and slowly returned to the city. When the Wang family returned to their countryside, the setting sun hung on the top of the Baoen Temple tower, and then they jumped down.

The setting sun melts gold, where are the people!
"Where the setting sun is about to set, it's so dark and ecstatic to look at it." Xiaocai got off the green donkey and stopped in the road to look west.

Wang Heng pulled the reins, jumped over from behind him, and said with a smile: "The poet and poet are sad for spring and autumn, I won't wait for you."

Xiaocai got on the donkey and chased ahead, shouting: "The plot is not enough, I have to add poems. Seventh brother, seventh brother, wait for me."

The two of them ran straight back to the academy. The concierge Zhang's father called to Wang Heng and handed him a letter sent by the official post.

Zhang's father felt that he couldn't see through Wang's second finger. This letter was delivered by the official post immediately, and it was stamped with the post's emergency stamp. He didn't receive such a letter a few times a year, and it was always Letters belonging to Yuan Shanchang.

Such a letter was of course written by Wang Yuanyu, the second assistant of the dynasty, to his nephew.

Wang Yuanyu's letter informed Wang Heng that the qualifications for Nanjing Imperial College students were all going well and had been approved by the court. Wang Heng's complaint was told by his housekeeper A Gen to take it back to Taicang and give it to Mrs. Zhu. When school starts in the fall, he would take it directly with him. Just report to the Nanjing Imperial College.

Master Yuan Yu encouraged Wang Heng to continue to study hard, and even if he got the favor, he should always work hard to prepare for the imperial examination.

Zhang Xiru of Taicang was the second-class Jinshi in the Apricot Ranking the year before last. He took leave in the spring of this year and returned to his hometown to bury his relatives. In the second half of the year, he will serve as a secretary in the Nanjing Imperial College. Master Yuan Yu has asked him to take Wang Heng under his tutelage in the imperial capital.

Zhang Xiru, one of the Three Phoenixes of the Wu Clan, had to copy and burn seven times his readings since he was a child. His profound knowledge and profound knowledge are all valued by the world. He is now vaguely a leader of the younger generation of Jiangnan scholars, worthy of Wang Hengzhi. division.

Wang Heng closed the letter. He had also heard about Zhang Xiru in Taicang. He lived in the Shangshu Mansion on Ximen Street. He was good at poetry at a young age and had a high reputation. He didn't expect that his uncle had already arranged to become his disciple. He was very happy when he thought of this. .

According to his uncle's wish, Wang Heng should continue to be an internal student at Ziyang Academy. It would be perfectly time to go to Nanjing Imperial College after the summer vacation.

As for Wang Heng himself, he has already fallen in love with Ziyang Academy. The environment is good, the studio is large, the library has a rich collection, and the young scholar can also study in Li Xiucai's elementary school class. Of course, it is better than returning to the prince's residence in Taicang to do nothing. too much.

Suddenly a few days passed by, and during lunch break that day, a manservant who looked like a steward came and asked to see Wang Heng with an invitation for the opening of Dongting Chun Store ten days later.

Xiaocai remembered that the Dongting Chunshan Goods Store in the south of the city was owned by the Huang family in Wanhuzhuang. The Dongting Chun store was probably related to the Huang family.Wang Heng heard that the Huang family in Wanhuzhuang was a little worried. It was a ten-day break that day and it was difficult to shirk it, so he had to agree to it for the time being.

On the day when Dongtingchun Store opened, Wang Heng asked Xiaocai to go there on his behalf and have a meal.

The shop was opened in Jiugu Alley, a quiet place amidst the bustle, not far from Ziyang Academy. Xiaocai went to express his congratulations with a basket of sugar cane tied in red silk.In the evening, I went back to the academy with my big and small bags, and there was a smile on my lips, obviously the reception was very good.

After Wang Heng asked, he found out that the owner of Dongting Chun Trading Company was the eldest sister of the Huang family. Now the eldest sister of the Huang family had come out of Dongting Xishan with their eldest son and wanted to develop business in the city.

Xiaocai sighed and said: "The people in the Huang family's house have better brains than those in other houses. Mr. Huang worked hard to seize the throne of the president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce. I can only think that from now on, the Huang family in Wanhuzhuang will have more power." Mr. Huang Er has made the decision, but this is not the case at all. Mr. Huang Er, the president of the association, is farming for her in the countryside."

Wang Heng laughed and said: "The eldest sister of the Huang family is so powerful, but I was overly worried before."

Wang Cai said with joy: "The business has integrated the original industries, tea shop, raw silk shop, flower shop, and has a hundred light looms in operation. The eldest sister of the Huang family divided these goods into first-class and second-class goods, and the first-class ones are We sell them in southern Zhili, and the second-class ones are sold overseas to Europe and the West."

Wang Heng and Xiaocai also heard Mr. Wei's introduction and knew where Taixi was. They didn't expect the eldest sister of the Huang family to have such knowledge after living in a remote place for a long time.

Wang Cai suddenly remembered the things hanging on his back, untied them and handed them to Wang Heng: "Brother Seven, this is the bamboo bookcase that Sister Feng gave you."

The bamboo bookcase was very useful. Wang Heng asked: "Who is Sister Feng?"

"She's Brother Yuntai's maid. What's her name? Let me think about it." Xiaocai scratched his head.

Wang Heng nodded and said, "Is it Yinfeng?"

"Yes, that's Sister Yinfeng. She is now in charge of a bamboo ware shop. She said that she has never learned business and dare not take care of important matters as soon as she comes up. She will practice her skills in the bamboo ware shop first. In the future, the eldest sister of the Huang family will also She’s very useful.”

It's great that women who were oppressed and insulted did not collapse and stood up again. Even Yinfeng also gained a new life.
