Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

After all, Li Sushan couldn't stand Wang Xiujin's soft and hard foam. He gave Wang Xiujin one of each kind of sea food. Is there any more? Even so, Wang Xiujin was still very satisfied, and he didn't have a stomachache because of eating seafood. Wang Xiujin thinks it will not be difficult to eat seafood again in the future.

With no entanglement with Mr. Sage, Wang Xiujin and Mr. Xinlou began to prepare how to teach the children of the royal family. It is obviously impossible for the children of the royal family to attend classes with ordinary children. We can only set up separate classes, and the content must be Make a big change. What the children in the school learned in the past is not applicable to the children of the royal family. How to change it is also a headache for Wang Xiujin and the gentlemen.

In the court, there are many papers pleading for the sages and gentlemen every day, and they don't mention the purpose of resistance and rebellion, and they don't step on the new building to talk about things.It's just the emperor's attitude, which makes these people unable to guess his thoughts, and even doubts whether he really wants to deal with those sages. Actually, they knew well that the reason for the emperor's anger this time was to ask Mr. Wang to plead for mercy, but they did not expect that Mr. Wang would treat them behind closed doors and would not even see him.Several civil servants were dissatisfied, but they just dared not speak out.

If those sages were not targeting his son, Mr. Wang would probably help to say a few good words, but they want to plot against his youngest son whom he has always felt owed. How could Mr. Wang speak for them? up.

Mr. Wang's way was blocked, and these civil servants were thinking about Wang Xiujin again, "To untie the bell, you need someone to tie the bell. If the imperial businessman can forget the past and say a few good words in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely not pursue it."

"If he can say a few more words that he thinks he is not as good as a sage..." One of the civil servants said sarcastically, and the faces of several civil servants surrounded by him had embarrassed smiles.

"It's true that you have to tie the bell to untie the bell, but it also depends on the time and the person. In my opinion, don't even think about looking for the imperial merchant. Now that the other party doesn't come forward and doesn't care about it. If you have already expressed your attitude, if you ask for it, you can't do it." Well, it will also offend the other party, and we will lose more than we gain." Several civil servants looked at each other when they heard the words, and they agreed with this statement.

Wang Xiujin didn't know that he was almost plotted by civil servants. After discussing with his husband, he had to be busy with other things. Seeing that at the end of the year, there were still many things to do. , he also has to buy family gifts with Shopkeeper Mi. Fortunately, when he just walked in, the younger father would not throw it all to him directly, but would share half of it. The younger father said that he would give it all to him in the future, just thinking about it feel big head.

The end of the year is really busy, several shops and workshops are very busy, and I have to go to the Zhuangzi outside a few times to pull some freshly killed beef and mutton. I sent some, and when I returned to the Wang family to deliver the meat, I asked Sister Liu to make a portion of boiled beef, and it was so refreshing to eat. I remember that Sister Liu wrote down the recipe, and he planned to let the cook of the Li family learn it when he returned. Do.

Sister Liu was speechless when she heard the young master's words, "Young master, this beef is the same as the spicy fish taught by the young master before, and the slaves can't write."

After hearing this, Wang Xiujin smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I borrowed Sister Liu for two days, and asked her to teach the cooks of the Li family. The meals they cook don't suit my taste."

"I told you to let Sister Liu follow, you!" Mrs. Wang nodded to her son, and agreed to the younger son's request.

Sister Liu knew that the young master didn't bring any of these people who were close to the young master when he went out. The reason was that the young master was worried that they would be angry after they arrived at the Li family. After all, not all people would treat the servants as human beings. As a servant, being able to sell yourself to the Wang family is simply because you have accumulated great virtue in your previous life.Hearing the young master say that the food was not suitable, Sister Liu thought, even if the wife disagreed, she would sneak to the Li's house a few times to let the cook of the Li family learn some of the young master's favorite dishes.

"Sister Liu, you don't need to think too much, and you don't need to be too tired. Just teach you a few dishes. If they dare to do it for you, you can just come to me." Wang Xiujin knew that there were few women in the kitchen of a big house, so he was worried. Sister Liu will be bullied if she goes.

"Young master is overthinking. If you can't even handle such a small matter, the slaves don't have to support the small restaurant." In the past few years, as the head chef of the snack department, she has seen more people, and Sister Liu has become more confident. , I no longer care about her appearance, let alone how others evaluate her.

Wang Xiujin nodded after thinking for a while, but when he returned to the general's mansion, he still explained it carefully to the butler, and the butler hurriedly sent him to the kitchen himself.Everyone in the Li family likes Young Master Jin very much. The person brought back by Young Master Jin naturally takes a high look, not to mention that the other party is the chef of the snack department. The snack department is quite famous in the capital. It's no secret that cooking is a woman's business.The snack department is run by Young Master Jin, and the chef there naturally knows Young Master Jin's taste, so it's okay to bring it back to guide the cooks in the mansion.

For dinner, there were two more dishes on the table, one dish of fried lamb with green onions, and one dish of braised beef. Wang Xiujin ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.The old general jokingly said that the daughter-in-law used to eat less, so it turned out that the food was not suitable for her mouth, but tonight she ate more than usual.Wang Xiujin just smiled, but he was thinking in his heart that he had to walk around in the yard later to avoid indigestion.

After dinner, Li Sushan accompanied Wang Xiujin to circle around the yard, "I received a letter a few days ago that Second Aunt returned to Beijing for the New Year, and when she returns to Autumn City, she may bring a few children from Second Uncle's family with her."

"Take it to Autumn City. Although it's good to have a family reunion, can the younger brothers adapt there?" Wang Xiujin frowned slightly. He didn't think it was a good idea to take the children to Autumn City, let alone that. Is there a good gentleman here? The distance alone is far enough. Can the children walk along the way? Moreover, the climate in Qiucheng is also different from that in the north. It is said that children have strong adaptability, but not all children can do it. Quickly adapt to the environment.

"Grandfather probably won't agree." Li Sushan said calmly. In fact, he didn't think much of it, and there were not a few people who moved their families. "They're not young anymore, so it's okay to follow the past." Generals don't have to take the imperial examination, so it doesn't matter whether they stay in the capital or go to Qiucheng.

Wang Xiujin thought about the old man, and felt that what Li Sushan said made sense. The two walked and chatted about Qiucheng. After walking around for a few times, Wang Xiujin rubbed his stomach, and it seemed that he had almost digested it.It was also almost dark, so the two held hands and led them back to the room to rest, of course not just sleeping under the quilt.

In the busy years ago, he had to deal with Li Sushan's request, Wang Xiujin felt that he was really stupid.Rubbing his aching waist, enduring some discomfort somewhere, Wang Xiujin sighed, absolutely, absolutely no more "fights" before the new year.

The day before the new year, the four princes met. Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan went to the place where they met. It was a century-old restaurant. Wang Xiujin had been here a few times, but he didn't think the food here was delicious. The specials are still very appetizing.

The two entered the reserved private room, and saw the fourth prince who had already arrived, the two of them hurriedly saluted, and the fourth prince waved, "How many times have I said that you don't need to use these cumbersome etiquette outside." The fourth prince After inviting the two to sit down, he sent his entourage and guards to wait outside. "Recently, my father's temper is not very good. Those civil servants who have nothing to do are going around every day, handing out papers every day, begging my father to let the sages and gentlemen go. It's enough not to mention the mistakes made by those people." A few times." The fourth prince was very dissatisfied with the papers written by the civil servants, in his opinion, those so-called sages deserved no names.

Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan looked at each other, but did not answer.The fourth prince doesn't necessarily want to listen to other people's opinions, maybe he just wants to complain.

"I was told by a gentleman before that I'm too stupid." Thinking back, the fourth prince became even more upset. What is too stupid, isn't it just stupid.Originally, his mother was not very favored, and she finally hoped for a son, but she was also labeled as "too stupid". One can imagine how sad his mother was, and he was also rejected by his father because of "too stupid". Xi, if he hadn't been reminded of his father by chance and had contact with Wang Xiujin, he would probably never be happy with his father for the rest of his life, and would be separated from the Gongjian mansion when he reached his age, and become a prince who did not receive much attention.

Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows. In fact, when he first came into contact with the fourth prince, he felt that he was a fool with a lot of money. Wang Xiujin would never say this.The Fourth Prince didn't expect the two of them to say anything, he just wanted to say what he had kept in his heart, so as not to panic in his heart.

"Father sent someone to the prison to ask those people, whether they knew anything wrong or not. Those people looked like they had a unique backbone. They either thought that Father would not kill them, or they broke the cans and thought they were dead anyway. He simply spit out all the words he was holding back, scolding and saying that the father humiliated them, and he didn't look like a prisoner at all." The fourth prince felt that the brains of those sages were not normal.

The corner of Wang Xiujin's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say more and more.Li Sushan drank tea calmly, as if he didn't hear the fourth prince's complaint.

"By the way, Father seems to have ordered the Anti-Corruption Factory and Mr. Wang to investigate the background of those people separately. If they are found to be wrong, I don't know if they can still dance happily." It's not good that everyone is full of holy words, but they are so dark in private.

Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows. He really hadn't heard his father mention this matter. However, he felt that after such an investigation, those sages might not be able to get a good result. life.
