Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

People who are used to domineering in the village and will not receive too much punishment, still think that this time is the same as before, with no panic on their faces, or even indifference.Seeing their attitudes, Wang Xiubo and his brothers couldn't help frowning. They thought at the same time, if the punishment in the village is not severe enough, even if they offend someone, they will go to the city tomorrow morning and sue the six of them.

There are certain procedures for opening an ancestral hall in the village. Even if it is late at night, you have to follow the rules. This is the first time Wang Xiujin entered the ancestral hall. Wang Xiubai visited the ancestral hall when he was young. After he came to Beijing, he never entered the ancestral hall again. .Now back to the village, at first because their father didn't go out, they didn't go to the ancestral hall for the first time, and then they were busy making money, and their father didn't intend to go to the ancestral hall to worship, so they let things go. It is because of this and so on.

When dealing with the clansmen, it is not the village head who speaks loudly. There are several old people in the clan. When the village head discusses with the old people, others cannot hear them. They look like people, weeping and wiping their tears, and because of the status of the sixth son as an official and fame, he dare not bite lies, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he dare not speak nonsense, he only hates his son for disturbing others Well, the unlucky one got into trouble with the old Liu's family.

When people rushed in, Wang Xiujin was already prepared to listen to lies, and even prepared his ventriloquist, ready to fight verbally with the opponent, but he didn't think that the person who came was just crying, but he didn't express any dissatisfaction.Only the relatives of the pale-faced man looked at the child and yelled, why don't you call a doctor, and no one paid any attention to the yelling for a long time.Also in Wang Village, there are few people who have not been involved with rascals, that is, the old Liu's family just came back, and they don't know the six people. These six people can make the village have some courage, but they are not familiar with the old Liu's family. Moreover, Lao Liu always brought a book with him when he went out recently, so the six of them hid far away. They did this today because they were jealous of the fish seller, and at the same time, they had a great luck.Knowing that there are guards at night, they dared to go there, which shows the boldness of the six people.

After half an hour, the village head and several old people from the clan came out. The old man sat aside, glanced at the six families who were crying and calling, and then looked at Wang Xiubo and the two brothers. The village head just said, If the harvest of the old six's family is good this year, next year, all the village will follow the crab field.They are old, and they don't go out very often now, so we know that crabs are precious, just look at the fish raised in the rice fields, and it sounds like they can make a lot of money, and crabs are not more expensive than fish.

Apart from making money, the bigger reason is Lao Liu. Everyone in the village knows that Lao Liu returned to his hometown because he was not liked by the emperor. When he first returned to the village, he guessed that Lao Liu made a big mistake, and he has never seen any friends. Even officials came to see them, but their village still received the same treatment as before in the county, which has not changed.The official government is aimed at the face of the sixth child, not their village to pay tribute.If today's matter is not handled properly, if Lao Liu's family has any ideas, if they talk about it, the whole village will be affected, and the whole village must not be dragged into trouble because of the six rascals.

The village head stood in the ancestral hall, looking at the six families who were lying or kneeling, with their chests puffed out, their faces very ugly. "When you were punished last time, I said that if there is another time, you will be expelled from the village."

"Village head! There must be a misunderstanding about today's matter. My son has some bad habits, but if no one instigates him, he will definitely not go..." The man wanted to bite out the sixth son, but he still hated the sixth son who had been an official in his heart. It was frightened, and the words stopped when they reached the edge of their mouths.After saying this, the other five families quit. What do you mean by being instigated by others? Maybe it was your child who instigated other families. Before the village chief finished talking about how to punish, the six families started arguing.

"Why are you arguing? Is it the fault of others that my son has grown up to be idle? Tell me how many times they have entered the ancestral hall. Seeing that they are of the same clan, how many times have they been spared for the sake of their relatives. Everyone's tolerance has a limit. Going to someone's field to write something in the middle of the night, what a bright thing, first each play [-] boards, wait for the two brothers Xiu Bo and Xiu Jin to figure out how much the things are worth, and each family will pay according to the even number. This year's corvee will have these six people Go, I'll leave in three days." After the village chief finished speaking, the six families were relieved, as long as they hadn't been driven out of the village, but thinking of losing money, everyone had a bad face, but they didn't dare to say no.At least send people to corvee, the six families did not object.

Compared with the reaction of the six families, the two brothers Wang Xiubo felt that it was too light. They thought the village chief handled it lightly and felt uncomfortable.But he didn't refute the village chief's face in public.He secretly thought that after the money was calculated tomorrow, he would take the money and go to the city. Since the six people were sent to serve in corvee, then don't blame them for doing something wrong.

Dissatisfied in their hearts, the two still wanted to watch the six people get punished.The people who swung the board were all very strong, and the few people who played in shifts were so sincere that they felt painful just looking at them.At some point, the fish-raising junior stood beside the two brothers and said something to Wang Xiubai in a low voice, and Wang Xiubai thought it made sense.If you go down for twenty boards, it will cost you half your life, and then you will only be wounded for three days before going to serve in corvée. If you come back alive, you will be lucky.Even if he wanted to understand the truth, Wang Xiubai still felt unspeakable anger in his heart.

Watching the boards fall one after another, the two brothers felt much happier. When they got home, Wang Xiubo explained the truth to his younger brother. Both of them were not very clear about the corvee. For the matter of today's board alone, it will only be raised for three days after that, no matter how strong the body is, it can't bear it.

The next day, the two of them went to the field early, and the night watchman was in the rice field preparing the rice that had been overwhelmed yesterday. As for how much the crab suffered, there was no way to estimate how much the two of them lost after listening to the night watchman. Rice, estimating the amount of damage, the two of them said five taels.Right here, the two of them still feel that there are fewer crabs. You must know that crabs are only sold when they are in season.

After the two told the village head the amount of money, they went into the city, firstly to buy cloth, and secondly, they felt that if they didn't do something, they would feel bad.After the two bought cloth, they went to the grocery store.The two of them are familiar with shopkeeper Wu in the city, so they are the best candidates.Shopkeeper Wu is very familiar with the yamen, from the county magistrate down to the yamen guards guarding the prison gate, there is no stranger. After hearing the purpose of the two people, shopkeeper Wu immediately offered to help, but when collecting crabs, he must come first .

When the two returned to the village, they felt that the village was very strange. The women who usually talked loudly in groups of three or four were muttering something in a low voice, and then they even laughed.

"The boss of Lao Liu's family, has he entered the city?" The village head's wife saw the two sons of Lao Liu's family from a long distance away, and waved to them, then looked at the cloth pulled by the ox cart, "Look at this The pattern is for Xiu Yun!"

"Grandma Tang, it's not getting hotter and hotter. When I got a change of clothes, I went to the city and pulled some cloth back." The two brothers jumped off the ox cart to say hello to Grandma Tang. The woman hired by the family is very handy. Knowing how to make clothes saves a lot of money for making clothes.

"It's time to change." Grandma Tang smiled. She liked the two boys very much. Among her peers in the village, she was considered capable. "Go home!" Live in Wang Xiubo.The troublemaker last night, after returning home, took off the clothes on his body, only to notice that it was caught in the crab, and there was blood. This morning, the doctor was invited, and the doctor said that it could not be used. The doctor scolded, and in a fit of anger, the doctor yelled out the matter in the village, and the troublesome daughter-in-law returned to her mother's house after the doctor left.

Wang Xiujin, who was standing aside and listening, stared wide-eyed. Last night he noticed the pain on that person's face. If he felt ashamed, it was hard to say it. The person's family members were also surprised, their faces were like that, and they didn't ask Ask what's wrong.

The village head's daughter-in-law did not tell the two to sympathize with each other, but to inform them, lest the family be confused by this matter and blame them for the matter.The two brothers thanked them repeatedly before heading home. They didn't have any sympathy for that person. If they found them, they might say "he deserves it".

That household did not find the old six's family, but the village chief. If their sons are like this, then they don't have to pay for the money, and can they also avoid the boat hull?Anyway, everyone in the village knows that this family is a bit of a broken pot.

There is also a beautiful little misunderstanding about losing money.The two brothers said that five taels was the total, but the village chief thought that the family would pay five taels, and the compensation for an even number would be ten taels, so he told the six families the amount. On the contrary, he hates his son. Every family in the village has at least two sons. I feel a little displeased with the son who can only cause trouble all day long, but because it belongs to my own family, it is mostly helpless. I can't pay much, and now the next compensation is ten taels, no matter my parents or brothers in the family, they are not happy.Those who were separated were better, but those who were not separated were so angry that they wanted to beat up the brother who caused the trouble again, and beat him to death directly.At the same time, I regretted it in my heart. When the village chief said last night that he wanted to drive people out of the village, why didn't they agree, so they should be driven out.

The woman employed by the family was surnamed Liu, so he asked her name to be Sister Liu.Don't look at Sister Liu's bad looks, but she is capable. Since she came to work, the house has been cleaned up neatly, and the food is much better than before.Sister Liu has a very low self-esteem because of her appearance, and since she lived here, she rarely goes out.

Sister Liu heard from the master's family that the cloth she brought back was considered as her share, and seeing that the fabric could not be said to be high-quality, but it was not something that ordinary people could talk about, she felt grateful and wanted to refuse, but she hadn't When she opened her mouth, the brothers turned her back on the excuse of rewarding her for her quick work. Sister Liu was grateful, and she was more attentive when making clothes, and more motivated to work.

Sister Liu was holding the feeding basin, fed some food for the housekeeper and dog, and was about to enter the house when she heard barking from outside the yard.

"Grandpa Six! The grandson is wrong, please forgive the grandson!"
