Four thousand four hundred and twenty-four chapters looking for relatives
Lin Haoming found a gold coin, several coins and dozens of copper coins from Li Qiang. The currencies of the entire Tianshen Continent are relatively unified, with three types of gold, silver and copper, and they are all rounded up to one hundred. Lin Haoming calculated
, a copper coin here is equivalent to about fifty cents on earth, a silver coin is equivalent to fifty yuan, and a gold coin is equivalent to five thousand. Of course, the things are different, and I cannot say this absolutely, but it is almost like this, for an ordinary person.
The annual cost is one or two gold coins. Of course, this is because there are too many poor people, and for rich nobles, hundreds or thousands of gold coins are nothing.
Li Qiang's brother-in-law is not a nobleman, but a businessman. In the industrial age, the status of a businessman is indeed not low. His brother-in-law has assets of about 10,000 gold coins, and he is considered a wealthy man here in Black Mountain City.
From Li Qiang's memory, Lin Haoming knew that Li Qiang had an uncle who went to the Nanlin Kingdom to pan for gold when he was very young. The appearance of his uncle actually matched his memory of the unlucky stowaway who met him at sea. He had to say
, sometimes it’s really fate.
The north of Black Mountain City is the mining area, and the north of the city is where workers live, so rich people generally live in the south. The most famous Honghua Road runs through here. Along this road, there are garden villas on both sides, which is also where the wealthy people in the city live.
At this time, in a garden building belonging to Zhou Lixiong, the owner of Fenghua Headwear Company, in the south of the city, a middle-aged man in a formal dress respectfully walked up to a man in casual clothes who was drinking black tea, and bowed slightly.
Waist, said respectfully: "Master, there is a young man outside, who says he is a relative of the madam and wants to see the madam!"
The lady the housekeeper mentioned was sitting nearby. She was a beautiful woman who looked less than forty years old, but was actually almost forty-three years old. Her name was Li Fengzhu. At this time, she looked at the housekeeper with some confusion and said: "Jia
Zhong, are you talking about my relatives?"
"Yes, madam, he claimed to be your nephew, but he didn't have a very good image and looked a little downcast. By the way, he gave me this and said that you should know madam. If it weren't for his affirmative tone, I wouldn't have come.
See you!" The butler took out a pocket watch. The pocket watch was broken. It was obviously rusted after being soaked in water for a long time.
The lady quickly took it in her hand, looked through it carefully, and then exclaimed in surprise: "This, husband, this was given to my uncle by my father himself. I was nine years old at that time. I remember it very clearly.
The watch strap was broken by my younger brother. He said it was me who broke it, and his father beat him severely for it. Finally, when my uncle left, my father gave the watch to him. This was also the most important thing in the family at that time.
It’s a precious thing.”
"It's your uncle's child. After your uncle went to Nanlin Road, didn't there be no news except for letters coming back in the first year?" Zhou Lixiong asked with some surprise.
"That's true, but this watch won't be wrong, even though more than thirty years have passed." Li Fengzhu said.
Li Fengzhu's parents passed away more than ten years ago. Her parents brought their daughter, son and younger brother here to make a living. However, life was difficult at that time, so the uncle left. Li Fengzhu was attracted by her father at the time because of her beauty.
The son of a foreman at work fell in love with him and later married him. The foreman's son was quite capable. In more than ten years, he established a headwear company and became a well-known wealthy businessman in Black Mountain City today, although he was not a top-notch one.
, but it can definitely be regarded as success and fame, and Li Fengzhu lived a wealthy life because of it. Unfortunately, her parents died due to fatigue in their early years and the fact that her younger brother was really ineffective.
"Fengzhu, I'm tired of taking care of your brother!" Zhou Lixiong reminded reluctantly, as if he didn't want to cause this trouble.
"Husband, I know that my brother has made it difficult for you over the years, so I never mentioned the matter between you and your secretary!" Li Fengzhu said.
Suddenly hearing this, Zhou Lixiong's face suddenly became a little unhappy and a little embarrassed. He knew that his wife knew what happened between him and his secretary, and bringing it up now was probably a kind of exchange.
Having an affair is not a good thing. If Li Fengzhu wants to file for divorce, a large amount of her property will be taken away from her, which is something he cannot accept.
"Husband, I just want to meet and confirm." Li Fengzhu said.
"Okay, let that kid come in!" Zhou Lixiong said helplessly.
After just a while, a young man who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old was brought to the two people. Looking at the handsome young man who was wearing some shabby clothes, Zhou Lixiong frowned slightly and said, "What's your name?"
"Lin Haoming!" Lin Haoming said.
"Your surname is not Li?" Zhou Lixiong asked.
"My mother's surname is Li, and my grandfather's name is Li Feiyang, but I have never met him. My grandfather died when my mother was thirteen years old, leaving only the pocket watch. Later, when my mother married my father, my father took it with him.
I was wearing this pocket watch, but it broke later, but my mother said it was the only proof of my grandfather and the family. There was originally a letter, but it was soaked in water!" Lin Haoming said.
"Why did you come back to Tianshen Continent?" Zhou Lixiong asked.
"We live in Key West Island in Nanlin Continent, where there are many pirates. In fact... in fact, my father worked for some pirates in the town. Before he married my mother, he was also a pirate, but later he made a fortune.
I quit. Two years ago, a hostile force came to the town. Everything was gone. My father has no relatives. My mother asked me to take this with me. If I can survive, I will come to the northern continent to find you. I spent two years
I came here more than 10 years ago!" Lin Haoming said. Many of them are the remaining memories of that unlucky guy. Of course, the name is his own. Lin Haoming doesn't want to use the unlucky guy's name. As for his appearance, he also deliberately casts spells to look young.
How old.
"How old are you?" Li Fengzhu also felt a little pity when she heard that her uncle had such an experience in Nanlin Continent, especially Lin Haoming was very handsome.
"Fifteen, no longer sixteen, it was my birthday just a few days ago." Lin Haoming said.
"Where is your grandma?" Li Fengzhu asked.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he glanced at Zhou Lixiong on the side, and then said: "My grandmother is a noble lady. My mother said that she was originally the daughter of Earl Weishan of the Great Wei Kingdom..."
"Earl of Weishan? That was the famous general killed by the previous emperor of Wei when he seized the throne. Although it was more than thirty years ago, it would still be a bit surprising if you were his grandson!" Zhou Lixiong heard this.
He couldn't help but interrupt Lin Haoming. He didn't expect this kid to have such a background, although he didn't know whether what he said was true or false.
