Chapter 092 Prediction
Wang promised Zhu Laozhuang and persuaded Ruan Xing to turn off the brick kiln. Zhu Chaofeng said sarcastically, "The old man Ruan Xing is very stubborn. Even if the two families are going to get married, they won't give my father face. How can he promise you?" While talking, he looked at the king with suspicious eyes.
He can't do anything with his mouth. With this young man in his twenties, he can shut down the brick kiln for more than ten years. Of course, Wang knows Zhu Chaofeng's idea. He smiled and said, "I agree with the idea of the old owner Zhu. This brick kiln is made of good clay for burning solid bricks. It's a pity that dozens of acres of land, but now it's stopped. It's not too late to drop the brick kiln. You can rest assured to leave this matter to me.
Zhu Zhu the old master was overjoyed and said, "If the prince can do this as soon as possible, his Ruan family can marry on the agreed date, otherwise I think the marriage will be delayed."
Wang said with a smile, "Men should get married and women should get married, and the happy event must be done."
When he came out of Zhujiazhuang, Wang Bian took Shiqian to the direction of Shijie Village. Shiqian looked back and saw that Zhu Chaofeng had turned back to the house and said to Wang, "Your Majesty, I said why I just shouted and didn't do anything. The relationship between the two families is quite deep. Ruan Ping stopped others. I think he was afraid that he would be offended if he couldn't marry his daughter-in-law. Uncle, please."
"You know how to watch the bustle, and these two families are not a big grudge. If you rely on the old farmer Zhu, it's okay if you don't do this brick kiln, but Zhu Chaofeng wants to make money with this brick kiln behind his back."
"Then how can you be sure that Ruan Xing will listen to you?"
I'm not sure of this yet. Wang Bian refused to agree to this matter. He simply told Shi Qian how to start doing this brick kiln before. Shi Qian's eyes were shining: "Your Majesty, I found that you are much smarter than me. There are so many ways to make money. If I had known you earlier, would I have been rich?"
"Early, how old are you? How early are you going to be?"
Wang asked Shi Qian was also happy. The master and servant had come to Shijie Village. Shijie Village is a small village near the water berth. The village is full of fishermen living in the village. The houses built according to the water. There are boats docked on the water mooring behind the house. As soon as he entered the village to inquire about Ruan Xing, a villager pointed to a house in the village: There It is the Ruan family's house. In this fishing village, this house is indeed more conspicuous, and it can be seen that it is a big family in the village.
He knocked on the door of the lower house a few times. When he opened the door, the seven- or eight-year-old child heard that Wang was looking for Ruan Xing. He shouted to the courtyard, "Grandpa, there are guests here." After saying that, he threw down the king and turned around and ran back to the hospital, squatting on the wall and playing with a few younger children.
Ruan Xing heard the cry and asked who it was. Then he came out of the hall. He stood in the courtyard and saw the king stunned, and then quickly walked up and down to look at the king.
"Why, can't you recognize me?" Wang asked with a smile.
Ruan Xing grabbed Wang's side and said, "Your Highness, I'm not dreaming."
"Of course not."
"Quick, please, please." Ruan Xing said and let the king go to the hall, and shouted to the courtyard, "You guys, stop playing. Go and tell your mother that there are distinguished guests at home."
"I haven't seen you for years. Unexpectedly, Brother Ruan's descendants are full of people."
Ruan Xing blushed excitedly and said with a smile, "We are not like princes. We are busy doing great things. The poor are happy to have more children and grandchildren. I have four sons and eleven grandchildren."
It's still not good to have a family plan. It's almost a football team. Wang Zong sat down with a smile and asked, "Why don't you see the princes?"
"Fishing, fishing, going out, my wife and I are the only ones at home. Looking at these grandchildren, my daughters-in-law give a hand."
A woman came to bring tea and water. Ruan Xing said that this was her daughter-in-law and asked the king to salute him. She also asked her family to drink and cook to entertain the king. The old man was busy. Shi Qian whispered, "Your Majesty, why doesn't the old man mention the brick kiln? You see, he is not like the brick kiln mentioned by Zhu Chaofeng. If you can make a lot of money, there is not even a servant in the family. It's better to wish the family.
Ruan Xing just entered the door, and his face was slightly embarrassed when he heard Shi Qian's words.
Wang said with a smile, "Brother Ruan doesn't know anything. We just came from Zhujiazhuang. We heard that the two families are married. This is a good thing. I don't know where the wedding date is."
"I just heard my big and small son Ruan Ping say that Zhu's family took away a young man who wanted to buy bricks. Could it be that he was talking about the prince?" Ruan Xing seemed to suddenly realize.
"I passed by from now on. I didn't want to disturb Brother Ruan, but when I saw that the two families seemed to have a dispute because of this brick kiln, I was also curious and followed him there to have a look."
When the words arrived, Ruan Xing sighed: "Your Majesty, you don't know that there were few people who used this brick kiln when it was just started. After a few years, we have slowed down. However, we have been fishermen for generations. Only there is no arable land on the surface of the water. The land is used by people, and it is also used by people. If you say that this brick kiln has indeed earned some money. Son, but I can't stand the labor effort to rise. No matter how much it was in the past, it didn't cost so much to transport bricks. Later, the government had to adopt the road fee, saying that we still collected a lot of bricks for heavy things. There was no way to change the livestock every time, but the animals couldn't bear it. The horse was too expensive and exhausted, and the rest was just enough to turn around. Over the years. I also have a headache when I work in the brick kiln. I don't plan to wait for my old son's marriage to be finished. I sent him to the capital to meet the prince and finish the matter of the brick kiln by the way.
From Ruan Xing's words, Wang heard the difficulties. He smiled and said, "Do you think I'm here to clear the accounts? Brother Ruan, don't worry, I just saw that although the brick kiln is good, it harms one side. This is also my fault for my poor consideration at the beginning. I will write you a letter and ask your son to go to the capital to find the account to withdraw some silver. If you make two supplements, the brick kiln will be closed.
Ruan Xing didn't expect this. He quickly waved his hand: "How can this happen? I have earned some money when I have a good time these years. How can I let the prince make up for it again?"
"Two things, what you earn is yours, and the subsidy is to make up for the loss of land over the years. Isn't it a good thing for you to live in Zhu's family. Isn't it a good thing for the two villages to take care of each other when they are so close?"
At first, Ruan Xing still had to give in, but looking at Wang's resolute words, he thought that the prince would go or not. In the evening, Ruan Xing's four sons came back one after another, and Wang knew that Ruan Ping was Ruan Xing's eldest son. Ruan Feng, the youngest son, Ruan Feng, married Zhu Chaofeng, who wanted to marry his daughter-in-law.
On the next day, Ruan Xing was busy settling the previous payment, found someone to demolish the brick kiln, and asked Ruan Ping to take people and the people who live in Zhu's family to level the land. He took the silver liang that was originally planned to be settled to the king to the old owner Zhu, saying that it was the prince's compensation to the village. Zhu Lao pretended to be Zhu and Zhu Chao. Only then did I know that the person who did this matter was not someone else, but the king of Zhennan in the capital. Zhu Chaofeng also broke the idea of taking over the brick kiln and continuing to work.
The marriage date of the two children is approaching. Wang Bian couldn't stand the two families to stay together again and again, so he stayed here for a few more days. When he inquired about the Qinghe County he was going to, he knew that he was not in Yunzhou at all. Wang Bian knew that he was fooled by Jin Pingmei.
Leaving Yunzhou and going west to Enzhou, Wang also felt more relaxed. There were so many things he had done before. If it hadn't been for Liang Shanbo, he would have forgotten about Ruan Xing and the brick kiln. In that case, in a few years, even if there is no such conflict, I'm afraid Zhujiazhuang will never find a place to farm. It's a good field, and it's even more interesting for Wang. This time, when I saw those peeing and mud children in Ruan's house, there were the future Ruan's Sanxiong, Xiao Er Ruan Jin, Xiaowu Ruan Tong and Ruan Xiaoqi. I'm afraid these little kids don't know themselves, and they will be written in the four masterpieces in the future.
The two of them walked for a few more days, and there were still more than a dozen miles to Qinghe County. It snowed heavily. Seeing that the sky was getting late, the master and servant came to the nearest inn to stay.
After the room was settled, he asked the clerk to bring some food to the soup pot and wine. He thought that he could go to Qinghe County tomorrow to see his old friend he had not seen for many years. The king was a little excited. After moving out for a while, he entered the door and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, someone just asked me if I was from the capital. I answered yes, later. I heard them say that they were going to the door of the government.
The prince was also a little strange. He didn't feel that he was being targeted all the way. "Did you do something bad again?"
"How can it be? Can't you see that I follow you every day?"
"What are you nervous about if you didn't do anything bad?"
"I'm not nervous. I'm wondering if people know you're coming, and it's just like wine and vegetables are ready to welcome you."
"I only have the general direction when I come out this time. I only told my wife and Mr. Chen where I may go. I also planned to give the Wu Ling a surprise. At that time..." I didn't finish speaking, the shopkeeper came to the room with wine and vegetables.
The wine and dishes served were not ordered by Wang, but good wine and dishes on a full table. Wang stopped the clerk and asked, "How did we eat so much? Is it wrong?"
The clerk accompanied the smiling face: "It's not wrong, it's not wrong. You two came from afar. You eat first. Please forgive me."
Why is it so attentive? Wang made a question mark in his heart. Shi Qian looked at the table full of wine and vegetables but did not dare to use chopsticks. He thought that this was not a black shop that robbed money.
Wang Bian also thought that he had been misled by Xiaoxiaosheng once. This time, he would not be misled by the Water Margin again, so he asked, "This store is surnamed Sun."
The man was also surprised: "Hourman, how do you know?"
Wang thought that Sun Erniang's human meat buns were spread in Shilipo. Did she also move to the vicinity of Qinghe County? He was puzzled. The clerk quickly said, "You can rest assured to eat yours. These are the orders of the county officials. If you see the two masters and servants coming from the capital, you will have good wine and dishes."
In this way, Wang was relieved. Shi Qian ate a few mouthfuls carefully. He felt that it was okay. Then he shook off his cheeks and ate and drank a lot. After half a meal, he heard the sound of stairs outside. Someone went to the door and knocked on the door and asked, "What inside is the prince from the capital."
Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Qian opened the door and said in surprise, "Brother Dai, why are you here?"
