Throughout the afternoon, the lovers who had reunited after a long separation stayed in Lin Qing'er's boudoir like glue, holding hands, looking into each other's eyes, looking at each other endlessly, and telling each other their feelings after parting.
Sister Lin also returned to Hangzhou in the twelfth lunar month. In fact, her mother's health had just improved, so she urged her to come back. Although she wished that her daughter would stay with her forever, Mrs. Lin was more worried about the objections of her husband's family. But by chance, Wang Xian came here
When he took office in Pujiang, he was worried about the danger and refused to allow her to come back, so the couple reunited for a few more months. But she came back as soon as winter came...
"After a summer, my mother's body has healed." Lin Qing'er boldly kissed Prince Wang Xian on the cheek to express her gratitude and said, "I no longer have to worry about anything, and I can concentrate on serving you... and studying."
"Reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant flowers?" Wang Xian put his arms around Sister Lin's porcelain-like waist and said, "I never thought that a rough guy like me could enjoy the treatment of a wealthy young master.
"Nonsense," Sister Lin shook her head and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm really thick." Wang Xian emphasized: "You will know when the time comes."
Although Lin Qing'er seemed to understand, but when she saw Wang Xian's lewd face, she knew that his dog's mouth couldn't spit out ivory. She said with a blush on her pretty face: "You know how to bully people. It is said that Xiao Baicai was bullied so much by you."
?”
"Lingxiao, this traitor," Wang Xian said angrily, "Xiao Baicai is very pitiful, how could I bully her?"
"Seriously, how do you plan to arrange her?" Lin Qing'er asked softly: "I have a good idea."
"I don't know either." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said: "This little girl doesn't want to live anymore, and she even said she wanted to become a monk. I told her that she could become a monk in Hangzhou, so she came with me." Wang Xian said.
It's true. Although he had feelings for the little widow in the past, how interested can people be in the little widow now that she is dying? He brought her back because he was really afraid that she would commit suicide again.
"A monk?" Lin Qing'er asked with wide eyes.
"I'm just fooling around." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Most of the nunneries nowadays are dens for prostitution. I can't push her into a pit of fire."
"Then how do you tell her?"
"You try to persuade her not to seek life and death," Wang Xian passed the trouble to Sister Lin and said, "You are the eldest daughter of my first family in Fuyang, and she is the eldest daughter of the first family in Jiangnan. We should have a common language."
.”
"The master has spoken, of course I have to do my best." Sister Lin nodded obediently, then hid her head in his arms and murmured: "Today, don't talk about others anymore..."
"Yes." Wang Xian hugged his sister Lin tightly, tightly, tightly.
The next day, Shuai Hui and the others went back to celebrate the New Year. In addition to bringing home a few pieces of Jinhua ham, Wang Xingye also prepared generous New Year goods for them, and each of them sealed a bag of silver to help Wang Xian, a poor official.
subordinates.
But when Wang Xingye learned that Wang Xian had obtained official positions for several boys, he regretted it greatly. If he had known this, a few boys should have given me money.
Doctor Wu arrived on the third day. After some diagnosis, he found that Xianyun's wound had healed well, but his body was still repairing the damaged functions. If an injection was given, he could wake up immediately. But Mr. Xianyun's body
There is a natural flow of Qi in the body, and it is useless to force it. It is better to wait quietly, and it will wake up in ten days and a half at most...
Although she didn't come this time, I still gave Lao Wu two bags of silver to reward him for visiting Xianyun. The second most important thing was to thank him for his kindness in awakening Wang Xian back then.
Before Doctor Wu returned to Fuyang, Wang Xian invited him to have a drink alone.
"I'm sorry." Doctor Wu knew how Wang Xian treated Wu Wei, so he was naturally full of apologies and gratitude to him: "I really shouldn't have let Wu Wei go that way...Actually, I have always been very conflicted. I heard that you are fine.
That’s why I feel relieved.”
"We have already done everything we should." Wang Xian said calmly: "What is uncle planning to do next?"
"Don't worry, I won't get involved with them." Doctor Wu said carefully: "This time it is a big blow to them. The loss of the Zheng family is not only second, but the key is confidence. Those wishful thinking, thinking that the Yongle regime is unworthy
The guy who hit me should realize the reality now." After a pause, he said bitterly: "Although it is painful, we all have to accept the fact that Zhu Di is the supreme leader of the Taizu. When he was alive,
There is no hope for us."
"I don't think they will give up." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "But I don't care about this. What I care about is, will your father and son... be exposed?"
"Probably not." Doctor Wu said slowly: "We are all in single-line contact. Only Eunuch Zhou, who is beside the emperor, knows my existence...and he is already dead this time." After a pause, he added: "Also.
Someone from the Zheng family may have guessed Wu Wei's identity through clues, but they have left the Ming Dynasty, so... they should be fine."
"Speaking of the Zheng family." Wang Xiandao: "It is really surprising that the imperial court allowed them to leave." He said with a faint smile and said: "It seems that Emperor Yongle is not as cruel and unkind as you described."
"This matter is indeed strange." Doctor Wu said: "A few days before the arrival of the Zheng family's fleet, the Zhejiang Navy arrived at Qiantangkou, seemingly to harm them. But who knew when things came to a head, the Navy went south to Taizhou,
Let the Zheng family go to sea." He paused, frowned and said: "But if they were to be let go from the beginning, why did the navy rush to Qiantangkou in advance? There are some hidden things in this that we cannot guess."
"Since you have decided to be obedient to the people," Wang Xian said with a smile, "you have to think for the best of the court, so that your life will be easier."
"That's right." Doctor Wu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Even if something happens, it will never involve you. By the way, your dad has some kidney deficiency. I'll prescribe him some medicine and adjust it. You can try it again."
Tell him to exercise restraint in sexual intercourse."
"Ahem..." Wang Xian said awkwardly, "Why don't you just tell him?"
"As a man, you are most afraid of being told that you can't do it." Doctor Wu smiled and said sternly: "And your fiancée, who is weak and prone to illness, I will make a prescription and treat you seriously for two years before you have a child."
Wang Xian nodded gratefully when he heard this and said: "I also noticed that Sister Lin is weak, but I was afraid that the quack doctors would harm her by using tiger and wolf medicine indiscriminately, so I never let her take medicine. She only focused on diet therapy and self-cultivation." He felt a little uncomfortable as he said it.
He reassured: "You always use your eyes to see it, and you dare to prescribe medicine without checking your pulse?"
"Now you know what I was originally for." Dr. Wu raised his beard angrily and said, "To put it bluntly, he who specializes in treating ladies has to take pulses? If I don't castrate you, I have to chop off your hands."
Wang Xian thought about it and said with a smile: "I am an amateur."
The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Doctor Wu went back.
As New Year's Eve is approaching, my mother and Lin Qing'er have begun to prepare for the New Year. This is the first Spring Festival since the Wang family moved to Hangzhou, and it is also the first year after the Wang family turned over. Naturally, they have to make preparations. There are many things to be busy with, besides
In addition to making New Year's goods, making new clothes, cooking New Year's dishes, preparing to worship gods and ancestors, and arranging New Year's greetings, there are also the most important arrangements for money...the money owed to other people's shops must be paid, the debts owed by others must be paid, and the collection of the year must be paid.
Expenses need to be settled, and expenses for the New Year need to be raised. Financial accounts must be settled first, and then the rest can be done within one's means and how much food can be eaten according to one's appetite.
It’s really not that I don’t know, but I was shocked when I calculated it. Although Wang Xingye was very well-off, he couldn’t bear the cost of settling down just now. The expenses were too high. After a year, there was no balance. Instead, he owed three hundred taels of silver to others. That’s right.
'The debt is less than the New Year, and the money must be repaid before the New Year... But the real reason is that Wang Xingye's status in Hangzhou's official circles is too low, and he is not able to default on the debt. If he were in Fuyang, I would care about you.
It’s 721. I love so and so, even if I ask for money, I won’t give it even if I ask for my life.
Don't even count on Wang Xian. He worked hard this year, and in the end, even the new year's goods for Shuai Hui Erhei were bought by his father.
Fortunately, Wang Gui came here before the New Year. In addition to delivering New Year's goods, he also brought five hundred taels of silver... It is said that Wang Gui is a good paper maker and is familiar with workshop management. With Wang Xian's relationship, he is only worried that the paper he makes is not enough to sell.
, employing more than 30 workers, they are too busy.
In this era, the twelfth lunar month has entered, and the workshops have closed down. Workers who have been busy for a year can finally take a holiday. Wang Gui spent a few days doing the calculations, throwing away the messy expenses, and the workshop had a net profit of 800 taels this year...
This figure is already extraordinary. You must know that it only cost 500 taels to buy this workshop. Not to mention the money was repaid in one year, but also a profit of 300 taels.
According to the agreement, Wang Gui can take half; Wang Xian and Yin Ling will share the remaining half equally. Seeing that he took out five hundred taels of silver, Wang Xian asked curiously: "How is this account calculated?"
"You can use the excess to pay off the debt." Wang Gui said grandly: "The money you borrowed back then, including the principal and interest, was about four hundred taels. Let's pay off the debt first and feel at ease." Businessmen in this era,
Regardless of whether he has read a book or not, he is very honest. He does not think that the person in debt is an uncle or the like.
"You said those debts can't be repaid." It's a pity that Wang Xian is not a businessman, but an official. It's a completely different world.
"Why?"
"When I left Fuyang, all my creditors gave me IOUs, and I had already set them on fire." Wang Xian said with a smile, "Don't worry about my affairs. Let's do as much as we can."
"It doesn't matter what you say." Before Wang Gui could say anything, he saw his mother knocking down his younger brother, taking five hundred taels of silver into her arms and saying, "Your debt will not be repaid, but your father's debt must be repaid. Besides,
If you don’t have money, why don’t you go drink northwest wind during the Chinese New Year?”
I have spoken, and the matter has been settled. Wang Gui will return to Fuyang first, and will come back with his wife and children on the 23rd to celebrate the New Year...
Not long after Wang Gui arrived, there was an endless stream of people coming to the house to deliver New Year's goods, and most of them came to Wang Xian. Wang Guiren, who was despised by his mother because he was too poor, really regained his face.
