The husband's son-in-law

"... Seal Zhao Haibo."

"real or fake?"

"We posted a notice at the gate of Zhaozhou Yamen, can there be fake ones?"

"I'll go and see, this is a great thing, Boss Wang deserves it."

"I'll go too, together."

In the early morning of this day, the people in Zhaozhou Street spread the word, and then went to the Yamen to see that the master was talking, and after listening carefully, it was true, and immediately the people were very happy, especially the women in Zhaozhou City. I'm happy, Boss Wang has a very high status among the women in Zhaozhou City.

"I came back last year. I heard that I brought a lot of things. I went there for four years. I was worried when I thought about it. When I came back, my heart finally fell back. I thought I made a contribution, but I didn't think it was the emperor. He actually named Boss Wang an uncle."

"What is this uncle?"

The woman doesn't know how to ask the master.The master of Zhaozhou's mouth twitched when he heard this question, and seeing everyone staring at him, he immediately said: "I see you guys agreed happily, I thought you knew, but you don't even know what Zhao Haibo is."

"They all belong to ordinary people, how do you know these things, master, can you tell me?"

"Is it an official?"

"Impossible, how can my brother be an official?"

"What is that? I only know the prince, it was mentioned in the play."

The big guys are talking all over the place, and the master is not surprised by this. The people of Zhaozhou are very courageous, and it is not uncommon to talk about political affairs. Anyway, this is how the atmosphere has come. He used to think it was absurd, but now he is used to it. Well, it's quite lively and approachable.

"Under the whole world, the highest one is the emperor, the emperor. The emperor's siblings are named princes, that is, princes, and after that, county kings. These are all blood of the royal family."

The common people understand this, it is the emperor's family, one person is the emperor, and the brothers and sisters are the princes, princesses, princesses and so on.

"Is this uncle the name of a relative?" A woman asked.

The master stroked his beard and nodded, and said in one breath, "The first-rank one is the gentleman, and the Zhennan Gong and General Meng from the Rongzhou side of the two counties—"

This commoner knows that he is Mr. Gu's adoptive son, General Meng. He used to escort Fubao to school. When he met him on the way, he greeted Master Fubao. .

Unexpectedly, he would be a famous general in the future. After Zhennan was conferred, the people of Zhaozhou talked about it for nearly a year, and it had already been popularized by science. The biggest one in the south is that the high officials have to salute when they see it.

"After that is Hou, this is the second rank, the next is Bo, the third rank, and the Holy One also bestowed the name, Zhao Hai Bo, the fief is our Zhaozhou side, and enjoys rank, Lumi, and silver. There is Zhao Hai Bo Keeping Zhaozhou under our control, we don't have to worry about any disturbances." Said the master.

Naturally, there is no trouble now.

The people were surprised when they heard it, "It's such a background."

"Master Liang is a fifth-rank talent, Zhao Haibo is only a third-rank talent, they are truly amazing."

In the early years, Mr. Chen Weng, the magistrate of Zhaozhou, retired, and Mr. Liang took his place as the magistrate of Zhaozhou. He is now a fifth-rank official.With such a comparison, the common people immediately understand which one is big and which one is small, and where Boss Wang is now.

It's nothing sour, it's more fun.

Especially the women in Zhaozhou, they all applauded and applauded. Over the past few years, the factory has been running well and the business is booming. Sometimes, some workers in the factory have family problems, as long as they ask Boss Wang, they can solve everything that can be solved. , as well as the benefits of the factory, the rewards for participating women in the annual Cuju competition, one by one, Boss Wang has become the backbone and role model for women and husbands in Zhaozhou.

Someone was holding grudges for Boss Wang, and now that he heard the good news, he couldn't help but run on the Wang family with a few words.

"Oh! Let that old man Wang Honggui regret it."

Wang Honggui is Wang Jian's father.

"Back when Boss Li's family had just left, Boss Wang shared half of the money from the shares, which was also given by Boss Li. It was Wang Honggui's shit, but then he shamelessly forced him to come to the door. He begged and cried, and asked his aunt to come and beg. What did you say? A brother of yours is in charge of so much money and it belongs to outsiders in the end... Do you listen to what people say, and it has to be handed over to Wang Honggui, so it is not outsiders' money?"

The people of Zhaozhou have known about this for a long time, but every time they talk about it, they can chat happily for a long time.

Someone answered: "I just want to coax Boss Wang's large amount of money and shares, and Mrs. Wang also said to introduce good people to Boss Wang. Listen to this nonsense. If Boss Wang has money and shares, why should I marry?" people."

"If a teenage young man is appointed, he will be cheated."

At that time, the whole Wang family mobilized and did everything possible to suppress Wang Jian's filial piety with public opinion, threatened and frightened Wang Jian, and even uttered curse words.

Because Wang Jian refused, the six relatives denied it, and it was business.

The Wang family couldn't get what they wanted, and they didn't take advantage of it. The older brothers said that they wanted to see, Wang Jian was destined to be lonely, die old, have no children and grandchildren, and no one would send him a miserable life.

Listen, is this what people say?

"It's all right now. Boss Wang has become Boss Zhao Haibo, and he still puts face on the emperor's lord. Who dares to bully him? Those members of the Wang family are still saying that the direct relatives don't look down on Boss Wang. Let's see. Who is more expensive and who is lesser?"

Ladies, you can speak freely and freely, and you can be happy all day long.

"...I just don't know when Zhao Haibo will come back?"

The master didn't know either, he just said: "The news about last year, Zhao Haibo went to Beijing to escort things, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."

"That was last year, and the spring will be here, so it should be soon, right?"

"Not necessarily. Boss Li is here in Beijing. I haven't seen him for a few years. Boss Wang appointed to get close to Boss Li. Let's have a good talk and catch up..."

This is true.

As a result, there were people blocking the yamen the next day, and only then did I know that my brother could pass the imperial examination, and now it was another discussion.

"I don't know if Master Fubao will take the exam or not?"

"It must be for the exam, right? Master Fubao is smart, so he will definitely not miss it."

"This decree was issued at the end of last year, and I have only come to Zhaozhou now. If Fubao takes the imperial examination, then I say that Boss Wang must come back later, and he will have to watch Fubao's imperial examination."

Everyone thought this way, cheerful, and those who prayed for Master Fubao, the whole Zhaozhou was not in a hurry, but some people were in a hurry, they could make the Wang family worry to death, so they hoped that Zhao Haibo would come back to greet him soon.

Wang family.

Wang Honggui is old, and he handed over the business to his son-in-law in the early years, but the two brothers are elm-headed and don't know much about business. With him watching, and with Wang Jian's reputation, it's okay to keep things going It won't work.

I can't teach it yet, and if I teach it, I say I understand it on the surface, but I am actually annoyed behind the scenes.

The two brothers always hoped that Wang Jian's business would fail, so that he could step forward and say, "Well, you deserved it for not listening to us and handing over the money and shares to the Wang family."

But this day didn’t come, Wang Jian’s business got better and better, and then he cooperated with the government to go to sea. The brothers of the Wang family were sour for a while, and they were overwhelmed by this concubine brother. They waited to go to sea for a year , Two years, there is no news at all, the brothers of the Wang family gloat over others' misfortune, and when they talk to their mother, they have to say something: "I said it earlier, what kind of business can my brother manage, it's still that big."

"Isn't it? I haven't heard from you for two years. Maybe I died outside."

Back then, in order to force Wang Jian to hand over the shares, he exhausted all means but failed to get it. This family has already been torn apart. Everyone in Zhaozhou City knows that Boss Wang in Li Mansion and the Wang family are two different things.

The entire Wang family has a clear lineage, and several aunts went to poke Aunt Wang Jian's heart in order to please his wife, saying that her child was buried in the sea and died and would not come back. Aunt Wang Jian cried every time she heard it, but there was nothing she could do about it. .

Wang Honggui left room for his wife not to be mean to Aunt Wang Jian.

After another two years like this, Wang Honggui felt that Wang Jian was dead outside. He claimed to see the truth clearly, and sighed why a brother jumped so high. There are officials behind Boss Li. What do you have? Be Boss Li chess pieces.

There are many ways to torture people without showing off in the back house, and it will make you suffer unspeakably.

Aunt Wang Jian has aged a lot, and the master doesn't like to go to that yard, and he is more and more depressed and has no hope. Once people have no hope, life is not moving forward, and people will almost be useless after a long time.

...At this moment, the servant hurriedly came to report.

"Auntie is very happy, the boss is fine, and he was named Zhao Haibo by the emperor!"

The subordinates know that they can report the letter, and the main court has already known it.Auntie's yard became a hot stove again, even Wang Honggui, who hadn't set foot there for a few years, also came here, beaming with joy, and said, "Have you heard? Our Jian'er has become Zhao Haibo..."

It's one thing to have fame and fame—it's not just being an official, and officials are divided into big and small. Some poor scholars have no way to get money in the exam, but they are just ninth-rank officials, and their lives are also poor.It's different when you become a knight, that's a nobleman who can prosper a family - the title can be attacked.

If Mr. Wang had wanted face, he would not have sent his brother to serve Boss Li back then.

In the face of huge interests, father and son can turn their faces against each other. How difficult is it to bow their heads and bow their heads when the whole family's prosperous descendants are stained with the word "gui"?

So the whole Wang family looked forward to Zhao Haibo's return to Zhaozhou, and even the side branches who had a slight relationship came to the door, all praising the Wang family for having a good brother, capable, and praising Mrs. Then my aunt was also praised, saying that my aunt was born well.

Just waiting and hoping, waiting for a year, Wang Jian did not come back.

The initial excitement and joy of the Wang family, waiting for Wang Jian to come back, how to be subdued, how to make arrangements, but Guangwu ten years, Wang Jian did not come back, but some things were sent back, and there were rumors that the Ji Ting built Zhaohaibo Mansion.

This is a member of the official family. The direct brothers of the Wang family wanted to show off the name of Uncle Zhaohai, but the steward of the mansion did not recognize him, so he was kicked out, and said impatiently: "What brother? The door is the only one, so if there are no brothers and sisters, hurry up and go, if you make trouble again, you will be escorted to the yamen."

"I would like to advise you a few words. Today is different from the past. Do you think I am a man who built a mansion? I am in charge of the royal Lumi, and I have a high rank." Although it is not high, it is a genuine eighth rank, but it is different from ordinary people. It is the same.

When the Wang family brothers heard this, they were stunned and did not dare to make a fuss. The man who built the house was an official?

"What do you think, if you are a noble, you are a nobleman, and the mansion is also regulated. Do you think that your family just picked up a piece of land and built it?"

Stone, wood, pattern, sculpture and so on are all particular.

No matter how large or wide the land of the wealthy country gentry owner's house is, in the eyes of the steward who built the mansion for the royal family, it is a house, a house, can it be called an uncle's mansion?

The people of Zhaozhou were also taken aback when they heard that the house was built by people from Beijing.

"I used to think that the style of the boss's house was called a mansion, but I didn't realize that there is really a saying."

"I heard that he used things indiscriminately and violated the rules of the rank. If he really found out, he would ransack the house and behead his head."

"So serious?"

"Naturally, only those who have been rewarded by the Holy Majesty are eligible to use it. You dare to use something that can only be used by the royal family if it has not been granted or rewarded by ordinary people? You don't want your head anymore."

This science popularization scared the rich merchants and squires in Zhaozhou to close their doors to check where their houses violated the rules. Even a few big merchants have restrained a lot, and they seldom wear silk and jade in their clothes.

There is a huge difference between Feng Liebo and ordinary wealthy businessmen.

The people finally felt the majesty of the royal family.

In the spring of the 11th year of Guangwu, the big ship slowly arrived at Jiting Wharf.

Zhao Hai Bo Wang Jian is back.

At this time, the mansion is roughly completed, and the garden, scenery, furniture, etc. inside have not been tidied up, so it is impossible to move in, at least it will take a year soon.

Wang Jian got up and went back to Zhaozhou, where he continued to live in Lifu.

The city gate of Zhaozhou was wide open, and the city officials came out of the city to greet him. Master Liang and his deputy bowed to salute when Zhao Haibo came back. Wang Jian smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Master Liang and Master Zhao are very polite."

After an absence of more than five years, this is the second time that the people of Zhaozhou see Boss Wang.

how to say.

Boss Wang has changed, and the changes have been great.

"It's expensive."

"It's even more stable and graceful. It used to be a bit like Boss Li's behavior. Looking at it today, I obviously didn't say a few words with Mr. Liang, but I feel more majestic."

"I can't tell whether it's majestic or not. I can see that my appearance hasn't changed much. It's not that I'm tanned after going out to sea. Why doesn't Boss Wang look so dark?"

"When is this? Boss Wang stayed in Beijing for a year, so he probably came back."

"You're still quite young, how old is Boss Wang?"

"Is it 33 four?"

"almost."

"Now I have to change my name to Uncle. Speaking of this, the Wang family has been looking forward to the uncle's return with enthusiasm for the past year. Maybe it was this wishful thinking. The uncle has no heirs, and no one will inherit the title. The Wang family must think about this." , Those two in front still want to give birth to a baby for uncle to carry over."

"Let me just say, Wang Erlang's wife is in her late thirties and almost forty, and she wants to have a baby. That's why she planned it."

"It's really a shameless thing."

"You have to remind uncle to be careful—"

"I don't think so. Uncle is very powerful. When Boss Li left, the Wang family couldn't get a penny from Uncle, let alone now. And have you seen it? Uncle just entered the city and met Mr. Liang." Speaking of which, the big guy next to him is tight in front of him, maybe the uncle also has love, love concubine?"

I don't care about it while I'm talking, I just remember the princess in the play.

What is the name of uncle's concubine?

Someone said: "It's definitely not called concubine, that's what the emperor's lord's wife called it. If it's uncle, it's Mrs. Uncle?"

"Whatever his name is, anyway, I read that in the drama, the prince can have a side concubine and a concubine. When it's the uncle's turn, he has to match a few more."

"Hey, you are not ashamed to say that? Uncle, he is a brother after all, how can he marry several."

"What's the matter? The emperor has sealed Boss Wang's uncle, so it has to be done according to the regulations. The regulations in the drama don't allow more allocations? The mansions are all built with edges and corners. Now that's Bro, that’s Uncle, the emperor’s words of wisdom are different from ordinary brothers and husbands.”

Everyone swears by what the woman said, the key is that it really makes sense after thinking about it.

Can that uncle be an ordinary brother?

Certainly not.

If there is a handsome man in the family, they think, "Does the uncle still want to choose Mrs. Uncle?"

"Shouldn't it? Go back and listen to Uncle's regulations."

Some people listened to it, and it was always weird, but they couldn't find any faults. They just thought that in Zhaozhou before, Boss Wang was good and made a lot of money, but when it comes to marriage, there are too many arrangements behind it. That's the 'good marriage' arranged by Mrs. Wang. The outside is naked and the inside is a mess, but now it's reversed. If you want to marry into Zhaohaibo's mansion, you have to choose it first.

Hey, it's really different, it's strange.

The author has something to say:

Do not follow the body position before and after, but according to the position, uncle will come again
