Zhu Dalang and Zhu Chong are the young owners of the "Zhu Ji Oil Shop" in Panlou Street, Tokyo. After he turned eighteen, he had a great dream, which was to earn a hundred dollars and go to the Xin family who ran a dried fruit shop in Yulin Lane to propose marriage to them.
My daughter Xin Yaoqin.
It should be noted here that this hundred thousand dollars is not a betrothal gift. In fact, the two elders of the Shen family are willing to marry their daughter to him, and the girl of the Shen family is even more willing to help him buy a betrothal gift. But his adoptive father, Zhu Shilao, does not agree unless he can earn it himself.
Money proves that he can stand up for himself.
It is said that during the Jingkang period, the Jin people swept across the two rivers and attacked the capital Bianliang. The biggest scandal for the scholar-bureaucrats was naturally the two saints hunting in the north. But in fact, many people in Tokyo were ruined because of these two things.
This Zhu Dalang was originally from Hangzhou where Bianjing fled. His original name was Qin Chong. His mother died early and his father Qin Liang sold him when he was twelve years old and went to Tianzhu to make incense. Zhu Shilao was old and had no heirs.
His old wife died again, and he regarded Qin Zhong as his own son. He changed his name to Zhu Zhong and learned the psychology of selling oil in the shop.
So thirteen-year-old Zhu Dalang's dream is to return to Tokyo and visit his mother's grave. Of course, this dream cannot be achieved through his hard work, so he only dares to cry before going to bed.
He never expected that his unachievable dream would be realized by the new official family. In the first year of Jianyan, he changed his surname, and in the third year of Jianyan, the official family returned to the old capital. I heard that he also killed 10,000 to 20,000 gold slaves and adopted his father.
He happily took his adopted son to Jingshan Temple to add sesame oil to the official's family - his son and two daughters died in the hands of the golden man.
Of course, Zhu Dalang was also very grateful to the officials, but he felt that the officials should not need so much sesame oil - because when he escaped from Huaibei, he saw with his own eyes that Xianggong Zhang took the gold powder from the Buddha statue with the officers to pay for the military expenses.
But soon, the great victory of Yaoshan came, and now even small businessmen knew that the world was stable. Zhu Chong also followed Zhu Shilao back to Tokyo that year.
In fact, Zhu Shi didn't want to leave Hangzhou. Although he was from the north, he had no relatives and had been doing business in Hangzhou for many years. Returning to Yingtianfu and reopening would require a lot of money. But he had no choice.
Concubine Lanhua disliked his old age and ran away with his assistant. Half of Zhu Shilao's old face was lost. He really had no shame to stay near Qingbo Gate.
Although his hometown was in Yingtianfu, Nanjing, it was a sad place. Thinking of the many wealthy old customers who had been there for many years returned to the old capital, he simply went back to Tokyo to do business.
Facts have proved that his decision was extremely correct. The officials were wise, and Tokyo no longer had the risk of overthrowing the city. Many high-ranking families also came back with their families, and they needed countless grain and oil. Anyway, they earned more than in Hangzhou, and Yi
His son also grew up, and after visiting his mother's grave, he never mentioned the past, which made him feel that he had hope for retirement.
After the Second Saint returned to the Yuetai Festival, the market in Beijing became more and more lively. Zhu Shilao planned to save money to find a daughter-in-law. He was optimistic about the daughter-in-law. She was the female envoy of the Meihua Han family, and she was almost 20 years old when she bought her from Yangzhou.
, but she is good at needlework and is tall. If the Han family had not offended the officials and did not dare to show off in the past, they would not have agreed to marry the envoy for ten thousand dollars.
However, Zhu Chong disagreed, saying that he had set his sights on the good-looking female envoy of Yang Zongzhi's family in Tianbomen. She came from an old Tokyo family and her parents were both there. No betrothal gift was needed, as long as the young man was good-natured.
Zhu Shilao had been in business all his life and became a mature man. He instinctively felt that there was no such good thing, so he went to inquire about it without telling his son. The result he got almost made him angry to death.
The little bastard usually does business honestly and doesn't take advantage of a drop of oil. How come he has learned the skills of a matchmaker when talking to his father? Zhu Zhong didn't lie, but the girl from the Shen family had this background, but she ran away before
He went to Yangzhou, but was tricked into spending two years in a brothel. In the third year of Jianyan, he was bought by Zhang Taiwei and later given to Yang Tongzhi. How do you think this experience made Zhu Shilao, a businessman who thought he was a respectable family, accept this experience?
.
Not to mention that the two elders of the Xin family had no sons, so they wanted to recruit a son-in-law just to support them in their old age. It would be strange for Mr. Zhu Shi to be willing.
But Zhu Zhong, who had always been obedient, was determined and knelt outside the room for the whole night, pleading: "Dad, you gave me a mouthful of food when I fled. As long as my son lives, he will definitely provide for you until he is old, otherwise there will be a thunderstorm. But."
I fell in love with Jiuniang (Yaoqin) when I saw her, and I can’t look down on anyone but her in this life.” After a pause, Nunuo said, “We agreed.”
Zhu Shilao was also a little moved when he heard this. He recalled that he was deceived by Lanhua and almost kicked him out because he felt that his adopted son was not considerate. His words were harsh, but when Lanhua really ran away, he became ill in anger. Zhu Chong did not complain at all.
Asking the doctor to take care of you day and night, this is what happened to your own son.
However, he sighed and said: "I'm not looking down on anyone. The world has been in such chaos in the past two years, and anything can happen to you when you flee. It's just one thing. The people in Tokyo said that Yang Tongzhi did it because the officials didn't like him.
Those who just send people away are different from ordinary maids. Although Yang Zongzhi has a bad reputation, the civil servants are not afraid of him. How can we ordinary people not be afraid? What if he wants to get the person back again in the past?
If you only have a few lives to go to the Imperial City, why do you still want me to collect your body when you are old?"
Yang Yizhong, who had been asked to be executed by the minister of civil and military affairs all day long, never expected that he was such a person among the common people. Apparently it was not just Zhu Shilao who thought so, because Zhu Zhong was also dumbfounded for a moment, bit his lip and said:
"Dad, let's wait for two years. During this period... I will obey you whoever you want me to marry. If she is not married after two years, I will marry her back and raise you and her parents together in old age."
Zhu Shilaowan didn't expect that his adopted son would come back again. He didn't want to beat him to death when he was so old. More importantly, it was really dangerous if he didn't allow him to see him secretly. So he reluctantly took a step back and asked his son to do it himself.
He went to pick oil and sell it and made a hundred dollars in two years. He was only responsible for the capital and the rest was on his own. However, he was not allowed to go to the Xin family during this period, otherwise the relationship between father and son would be severed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Chong also knew that his father had given in, so he quickly agreed. From then on, national events continued, and the oil-bearing guy Zhu Shilao gave his adopted son, and every
During the day, he looked at the oil shop, while Zhu Chong carried the oil drums and walked through the streets day after day.
Because Zhu Zhong was an honest boy, he had a good reputation for buying and selling oil in the past. No one else knew about the quarrel between father and son. As long as his old boss wanted to train his son, the oil shop was willing to support him. Every day, he only picked the best pure oil and drank it.
He, the lot clearly gave him more. After Zhu Zhong got these advantages, he resold it to others with more leniency, so his oil was better than others. The daily interest earned was either three points or three points.
After accumulating two points, no matter how little he accumulated, he would accumulate one point. He was counting the copper coins he collected. Seeing that he was honest and obedient, Zhu Shilao couldn't help himself, so he had to hope that Xin Yaoqin would get married quickly, and gave up the idea of this silly boy.
.
But wishful thinking as the saying goes does not exist between Zhu Chong and Xin Yaoqin. Yaoqin is also a son and daughter of an old family in Tokyo, and his family has a six-storey shop. Although they make a living by selling rice, they also buy wheat, beans, tea, wine, oil, salt and groceries.
, she was unprepared for everything, and the family of three was quite successful. When she was twelve years old, she was already good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If the subject of female workers was mentioned, the needle would fly, which was unexpected. Otherwise, her parents would not know how to do it.
Want to recruit a wife.
However, once Jingkang was humiliated and the country was destroyed for a hundred years, the people inside and outside the city were so frightened that they abandoned their homes and fled for their lives, taking the old and the young with them.
Xin's father was not spared. He led his wife Ruan and his daughter, carrying their bags on their backs, and left in a group like other people fleeing. The Jin people had never met the Tatars, but they met a group of defeated officers and soldiers in Huaibei, who happened to be Liu
Guangshi ran away. The general and the soldiers were not good at all, so they set a fire along the road. It was getting late, and the people were frightened and fled, so he took the opportunity to plunder. If you refused to fight with him
, so he killed him. This was chaos arising from chaos, and suffering was getting worse.
Poor Xin Yaoqin was caught in a conflict with the rebels. After she fell, she lost sight of her parents and did not dare to call. She happened to be picked up by Wu Gui and her mother at a local brothel in Xuzhou. She thought she had met a good family, but she fell.
Hell. Because she was beautiful, she didn’t get beaten or scolded much. Moreover, the local Jiaofang officials in Xuzhou had long deserted the army. Sometimes, as long as these deserters were naturalized, they had to accompany the officials at banquets. Once, they controlled both sides of the country.
Zhang Jun, the governor of the town, invited the Youjun brothers to drink wine. Seeing that the boy was good at singing and poetry, he remembered that there were not enough people in his monthly shift to meet Zhang Taiwei's entertainment requirements, so he paid for it on the spot.
Homemade female singer.
Zhang Jun was the one who led the army against the puppet Qi back then, and no one in Xuzhou would offend him for this matter. However, after staying in the Zhang family for less than three months, Zhang Jun thought that when he returned to Tokyo for a banquet, the official family wanted to "
"A glass of wine releases military power." Because Yang Yizhong was from his old army, he gave him a beautiful concubine named Yao Qin.
Yang Yizhong didn't think much and handed it over to his wife. He still had to go on duty.
