Ding County is located in the mountains and valleys.
Around it, there are many villages. One of the villages is called Hebian Village.
The villages in Chu State have very distinctive names.
Generally, those with many single surnames are called a certain village.
The village in the mountain col will be named Ao Village. This riverside village is a village near a creek.
There are a few small families in the village, with everyone’s surname.
One advantage of this kind of village is that it is easier for outsiders to take root and not be targeted or bullied. The disadvantage is that there is a lot of neighborhood friction.
Unlike a village with one surname, there is less friction.
years ago. A family moved into Hebian Village. The owner's surname was Wang and his first name was Yun. He was very generous. When he came to the village, he bought 300 acres of land and built a big village.
Over the years, Wang Yun has taken concubines and given birth to children one after another. Together with the domestic slaves he purchased from other places, he has built a large family by himself.
However, although Wang Yun is rich and powerful, he never bullies others.
On weekdays, he is kind to people and often builds bridges and paves roads. Every month, he would prepare some rice and meat and send someone to deliver it to the elderly, widows, and orphans in the village.
Wang Yun can be said to be a great benefactor in the village.
The villagers also respect Wang Yun very much and will ask Wang Yun for help if they encounter any difficulties.
Over time. Wang Yun also took control of the village's voice and became a veritable village sage.
This morning, it was still bright.
Mrs. Li from the east of the village got up early. She started cooking by lighting a fire. After making breakfast, she put it in a pot to heat. Then he went out the door and went to the chicken coop.
Under the eager eyes of the old hen, she reached out her hand boldly and took out a warm egg, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Mrs. Li returned to the house holding the eggs and put them in a bamboo basket. Including today's eggs, there are eight in total.
The old hen at home was so good that it only took ten days to accumulate eight eggs.
Mrs. Li picked up the bamboo basket and went out, heading to the palace.
One month ago, she fell seriously ill and had no money for treatment. The wife went to beg the prince, and after getting the money, he took her to the county seat, and her life was saved.
Prince Renyi said that the money can be paid back slowly, so there is no need to worry.
Mrs. Li was grateful. She was reluctant to eat the eggs laid by the old hen and wanted to give them to the prince.
Soon, she arrived outside the palace gate.
This is a large village, a serious blue brick house with a luxurious style. The door was open, and the concierge Ye Chong was sweeping the door with a broom.
Li was a cheerful person. She took the bamboo basket and handed it to Ye Chong, saying, "Brother Ye. This is a little bit of my thoughts. Please pass it on to the prince."
"It's Mr. Li." Ye Chong stopped sweeping, leaning on the broom, and said, "Didn't you just recover from a serious illness? Just keep these eggs for yourself. Our master is not short of your eggs."
"I know the prince is not short of eggs, but this is a small wish of mine." Li Shiqiang put the bamboo basket down and ran away.
"Hey." Ye Chong couldn't catch up, so he had to accept the egg with a wry smile. After thinking for a while, he sent the egg to the kitchen first. He happened to meet Wang Yun getting up for a walk. He quickly bent down and told Wang Yun what happened.
Wang Yun is Wang Ruyan’s uncle Wang Zheng.
After he sold Wang Ruyan to a brothel, he changed his name and came to live in Ding County. He did good deeds in Hebian Village, but he did not have a bad conscience.
But with great purpose.
With a large amount of money, he came to settle in a strange village. If you don't accumulate reputation, you will be easily ostracized. You are more likely to get into unnecessary trouble because of other people's jealousy and jealousy.
How much does it cost to repair bridges and pave roads?
How much money does it cost to take care of the lonely elderly?
If you give, you will be rewarded.
He is now living in Hebian Village. He has a distinguished family background and is a first-class decent person and a great philanthropist.
It's really worth spending a little money to get all this.
But sometimes, there will be a little trouble. Take the basket of eggs in front of you, for example.
Oh, eggs.
Wang Zheng was dismissive in his heart, but with a kind smile on his face, he said to Wang Chong: "Send it to the kitchen, and give the slaves extra food at noon. In addition, ask the butler to cut a pound of pork and send it to Mrs. Li. As a return gift."
"Thank you, Master." Ye Chong was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him.
"Haha. Go ahead." Wang Zheng chuckled and waved his hand. Then he continued walking, and when his body warmed up, he started boxing.
It's not a fierce boxing technique, but a slow and flexible boxing technique, mainly to move the muscles and bones and dredge the qi and blood.
He is also almost forty years old.
As the saying goes, if you know your destiny at fifty, you may kick off your legs and go to see your ancestors at any time. He is now rich and prosperous, has a wife, five concubines, and more than a dozen children. He lives a very comfortable life without any particularly big ambitions.
I just hope I can live longer.
One more day is just one more day to live.
Boxing is a good way to maintain health.
After the boxing, Wang Zheng felt warm all over and felt indescribably comfortable. The servant came over, bent down to Wang Zheng and said, "Master, breakfast is ready."
"Yeah." Wang Zheng hummed and walked towards the restaurant. After having a hearty breakfast with his old wife, he called his eldest son Wang Ningxi to the study.
Wang Ningxi is twenty years old this year and was born to his old wife. They got married the year before last and gave him his eldest grandchild last year.
The big fat boy weighed eight pounds when he was born.
Wang Zheng was still overjoyed when he thought about this.
And Wang Ningxi also has a talent for reading.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, everything is inferior, only studying is high. After studying for the imperial examination, the Wang family gradually became a scholarly family.
No one will know.
He made his fortune by killing his brothers and his entire family and selling his niece to a brothel.
"Ning Xi, the county exam is about to take place. Things in this family are still the same as before. It's none of your business. Don't keep in touch with the friends outside. Don't sleep in the same bed with your wife. . From now on, you will move into your study room. Study every day and strive to pass the exam to be a scholar. Be the lintel of the Wang family for me."
Wang Zheng was sitting on the chair, holding the majesty of the head of the family, and looked at Wang Ningxi and said.
"Yes." Wang Ningxi never dared to resist Wang Zheng. After hearing the words, she obeyed obediently, then turned around and went down and did what Wang Zheng said.
"My life is so comfortable. Fortunately, I did it back then. Otherwise, I would still be a barefoot doctor walking around the streets."
Wang Zheng took a deep breath, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The Wang family studied medicine for generations.
His damn big brother has mediocre medical skills.
He was even worse.
Practice medicine, practice shitty medicine.
Only by killing people and setting fires can you become wealthy.
Killing his brother and sister-in-law and selling his niece to a brothel was really the right thing to do.
Just when Wang Zheng was feeling proud. There was a loud noise from outside.
Wang Zheng frowned, very unhappy. Considering my king's status in the village, who dares to run wild outside my house?
Not long after, the concierge Ye Chong crawled into the study room with a look of panic on his face.
