Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 231
Years later, some small shops and peddlers in the capital had a slight tendency to increase their prices. Someone accidentally heard that Wang Xiujin, the imperial merchant, wanted to give some gifts when he was crowned this year. The expensive ones were too expensive to give, and the cheap ones were too cheap. Not long ago, students in the school wrote a picture and gave it to Wang Xiujin. Mr. Chu Wang does not accept expensive gifts, only gifts made by himself.The shopkeeper of the big shop looked at the daily shipments of those small merchants with a look.He scolded Wang Xiujin in his heart, who doesn't accept expensive gifts for their birthdays, but he is fine, and insists on making it himself.
Wang Xiujin didn't know how the shopkeeper of the big shop scolded him. Recently, he was really soft on accepting gifts. Fortunately, after evaluation, none of them were expensive items. It is not an exaggeration, most of these knitting patterns are made by women workers in textile workshops, and there are also all kinds of embroidery, which look like they were embroidered by themselves, not bought.Wang Xiujin asked Ruiwen to sort and put away all his things. This was his wish, and he must not let his intentions be let down at will.
Receiving the gift was soft, Wang Xiujin looked forward to the gift from Li Sushan, but he didn't want anything in particular, he thought that he would like whatever Li Sushan gave him, so he took it carefully.It's just that the days are passing by day by day, and seeing that the day of his coronation ceremony is approaching, and there is no gift from Li Sushan, Wang Xiujin can't help but wonder if he received too many gifts before and mixed Li Sushan's gifts with others. Missed one without paying attention?Originally wanting Ruiwen to look through the box where the gifts were divided, Ruiwen repeatedly emphasized that there is indeed no gift from the young master Sun of Li's parents.Wang Xiujin was slightly disappointed, thinking that there were still a few days left, and he just waited.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the coronation ceremony. Wang Xiujin went through the process with the ceremony officer again, and he was relieved that there was no mistake. He was extremely nervous, worried that something might go wrong tomorrow.Wang Xiujin was going to practice a few more times after the ceremonial officer left, so as to ensure that tomorrow's great ceremony was safe.As soon as he sent off the ceremony officer, he saw a servant beside Li Sushan hurriedly delivered a note. Wang Xiujin opened it and saw only the time and place. He raised his eyebrows. Li Sushan invited him out at night. Could it be Let's set off fireworks!This set is quite romantic for little girls, but he is a big man watching fireworks or something, and his hairs stand on end when he thinks about it.
One day, just after it was getting dark, Wang Xiujin took only one guard and went out, walking all the way to the place where the note was written, which was not far from Wang's house, so Wang Xiujin thought it was time to exercise after dinner.When he reached the place, he realized that it was a carpenter's shop. Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows and asked the guards to knock on the door, wondering what Li Sushan was doing.The door opened quickly, and the person who opened it was obviously a waiter. After seeing the guards and asking the identity of the visitor, he led the two of them to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Wang Xiujin was overjoyed. There was a large carved plate in the courtyard. All the scenes and objects on it were miniature versions of their house in Wangcun. There were two woodcarvings of figures standing at the door. It looks a little ugly. "I carved those two villains." Li Sushan ran away at some point, "Because they are too ugly, I dare not take them out during the day."
"Pfft..." Wang Xiujin couldn't help being amused, and raised his hand to pick up the two villains. In the middle of the night, there were torches all around, so he couldn't see the appearance of the two villains clearly. "I'll take it back, and I'll get up early tomorrow to see it." Putting the two little people away carefully, Wang Xiujin carefully looked at the miniature version of the woodcarved house.Scene after scene flashed in my mind, from the previous life to the birth, relocation, starting a business, opening a workshop, and the edicts at home, all of which symbolized the rise of the family.
Tomorrow, he will be an adult, and after that, he will open another status symbol and look up at Li Sushan.The sky was getting darker and the torches around were glowing weakly, but he could still see Li Sushan's appearance clearly. From now on, he would support this man for the rest of his life. The imperial decree issued by the former emperor meant that the two of them wanted to get together and separate. no.Forcibly bound marriage, at first Wang Xiujin didn't think about whether he would be happy, but now he seriously considers this issue, he thinks, it should be possible.
The exquisite wood carvings were moved back to Wang's house. Li Sushan and Wang Xiujin walked slowly holding hands, "How did you come up with the idea of getting wood carvings?"
"I thought they all used knives, so it should be easy to learn." Li Sushan replied truthfully. At the beginning, he found a lot of things, but he didn't like it. Later, he accidentally heard that he had to make gifts with his own hands to show his sincerity, so he began to think. What to do, he thought about making a dagger for Wang Xiujin, but considering the total restrictions in the court, Li Sushan gave up this idea, and thought of a lot of things that could be done by hand, Li Sushan felt that it was not appropriate.When he was in a hurry, he saw the new bed sent over. The wooden carvings on the bedposts were lifelike, so he moved his mind. He really thought that they all had knives, so it shouldn't be difficult. It was as simple as he thought.
Wang Xiujin felt that there was something wrong with Li Sushan's brain circuit. He still used knives, so it was not difficult to learn. There is no common ground, "When you go to the battlefield in the future, if you don't want the opponent to die too quickly, you can use your big knife to carve a flower on his body and make a tattoo."
Li Sushan raised his eyebrows, thinking that Wang Xiujin's idea was good, and he could give it a try.Wang Xiujin would never have thought that he just said a word unintentionally, which opened up a new way of thinking for Li Sushan.A few years later, when Li Sushan took over the leadership of the Li family from his father, the intruder would want to turn around and run away whenever he saw Li Sushan leading the army. If the soldiers led by Li Sushan are captured, they will definitely be carved with extremely ugly things. Some of them will be hidden under their clothes. If Li Sushan is in a bad mood, they will be completely covered from face to body Can't see people.If Li Su was good at carving out any shape, it would be fine, but the soldiers he brought out were the same as his technique. He had practiced a lot, but he didn't have a shape that people could see, even if he wanted to guess what it was, it was difficult.
Wang Xiujin didn't know what was going to happen a few years later, even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything. As for the invading enemy, if he didn't kill him directly, he would already be keeping him under the knife, so he was not allowed to vent his anger in a different way?
Li Sushan sent Wang Xiujin to the door of his house, "After tomorrow, when we meet again, we will get married." Li Sushan was a little bit reluctant, and regretted giving things at night. If it was daytime, he could still see Wang Xiujin's appearance clearly, even if he was closed now. Even with his eyes, he knew Wang Xiujin's appearance, but he still wanted to take a closer look.
"It hasn't been long." Wang Xiujin raised the corners of his mouth. Although he couldn't see Li Sushan's eyes clearly now, he could guess what Li Sushan was thinking. "I probably won't be free tomorrow, and I won't have a chance to talk to you."
"Well, I'll be a little tired tomorrow, so I'll take a rest early when I go back." Li Sushan has experienced how nervous the crown ceremony is, and can understand how busy and nervous Wang Xiujin will be tomorrow, "Don't think so much, just follow the ceremony officer's instructions." If you follow the steps, there will be no mistakes." The two talked for a while at the door, and Wang Xiujin was urged into the house by Li Sushan, and when the door was about to close, Li Sushan said, "Wait for me to pick you up Getting started." Wang Xiujin almost didn't trip over the threshold because of Li Sushan's words.
Because of Li Sushan's words, Wang Xiujin almost suffered from insomnia that night. He tossed and turned on the bed thinking whether he could overwhelm Li Sushan after getting married. It is too difficult to be kind, but if you are suppressed, it is too much.
In the early morning of the crowning ceremony, Wang Xiujin woke up, but he seemed very nervous. Wang Xiujin felt that he had never been so nervous in his two lifetimes, except of course when he was in the end of the last life. At that time, he should not be said to be nervous, but more afraid Some.Taking the servants to help change clothes, Wang Xiujin looked at his unclear appearance from the bronze mirror, and it seemed to be quite similar.
According to the ceremony officer's words, Wang Xiujin proceeded step by step. Unlike others, the emperor came to attend the crowning ceremony in person, and the scene was quite grand.People in the capital still remember the last time when Old General Li's eldest grandson was crowned, the emperor personally recruited him into the palace, and he valued it very much. Who would have thought that the emperor came out of the palace to participate in the crowning ceremony of the imperial merchant Wang Xiujin, which shows how much the emperor attaches importance to the imperial merchant. .The common people began to talk about how the imperial merchant got up and made his fortune, how much money he donated, how many things he did, and how much he received in this year's coronation ceremony.Of course, the common people don't know much about it, it's nothing more than rumors.
Wang Xiujin didn't plan to invite many people to participate in the coronation ceremony, except for a few in-laws, they were the stewards of each shop. Wang Xiujin didn't invite them. It wasn't that they treated them differently, but he didn't want to make a big deal, but there were Those who came uninvited, not only did not feel that there was something wrong with coming uninvited, but they also blamed Lord Wang for being unkind and not inviting them to participate.Where did Mr. Wang let others talk, a few words would silence the comers. If it weren't for the fact that today is a very important day in his son's life, Mr. Wang would very much like to throw these people out directly.
After the coronation ceremony was completed, Wang Xiujin smiled and sent a very thick envelope to the emperor.Some sharp-eyed people saw it and secretly guessed whether it contained thick banknotes, but they didn't know that the contents inside were torn out by a series of winds of purging.
