Let's not talk about how Lei Shuanghan revealed his true face in Lushan, causing a big stir on the ship, and how excited the three little ones were.
It only said that with a loud "bang", the ship finally docked.
Lei Shuanghan stretched out his hand to his wife, but Chang Minjun waved her hand in disgust and let him go ahead, while she supported Sang Nuanyue and walked just behind him.
As the two of them walked, Chang Minjun whispered: "Don't mention it, I was really coaxed by your elder brother's behavior in the first place, so he didn't want to marry me." They are now an old couple, and Chang Minjun talks about this now His face didn't turn red because of the old memories, but when he talked about Lei Shuanghan getting up early this morning to shave his beard with a dagger, the expression on Chang Minjun's face was extremely wonderful.
"I thought he was going to hurt himself at first, but then I thought about it, your brother is not that heartless. After asking him, I found out that people need to shave. Not to mention, although I was coaxed by your brother's good looks before I'm sorry, but after seeing your eldest brother's unshaven and unkempt appearance for a long time, I still feel something is wrong when I look at your eldest brother's face now."
This abnormality made her feel very awkward with her current husband. Even when he reached out to pull her, she had to reflexively refuse. It really felt like holding hands with him was like cheating, as if this man was no longer ours.
When Sang Nuoyue heard her sister-in-law say this, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
She actually felt okay, after all, the eldest brother in her memory always looked like a bright moon and a gentle breeze. Before, her eldest brother had a big beard, which she found very awkward. Well, he should be in the same mood as her eldest sister-in-law now.
The aunt and sister-in-law got off the passenger ship unknowingly as they talked. At this time, I suddenly heard two yells of "Ghost" coming from the shore.
He was an old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life and a slim figure. Sang Nianyue had some impression of him because this old man had been selling wontons at a stall on the pier all year round. When Sang Nianyue was a child, she would go out with her grandfather and father. After getting off the boat, she would eat a bowl of hot wonton noodles at his stall before returning home.
But compared with the person in his memory, when he came back this time, the old man had obviously aged a lot.
I'm going too far to say this. Let's just say that this old man has been setting up a stall by the river for more than thirty years. It can be said that he has almost watched Sang Nianyue grow up little by little.
When Sang Nuanyue came back to Jinzhou to pay her filial piety, the old man recognized her at a glance, and even guessed the identity of Qing'er who was taken with her. At that time, the old man sighed in a very sweet-tempered manner and said, "The young master is more like Mr. Sang, and he is somewhat similar to the eldest master. They both have good looks and will definitely be successful in the future."
The old man still has a clear memory of her, so how can he not remember the appearance of his eldest brother?
I think my eldest brother was also a famous figure in Jinzhou back then.
The future heir of the Sang family, a great bookseller, grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and grew up with the grace of a jade tree facing the wind. In the eyes of the whole Jinzhou mother-in-law, he was the quickest son-in-law in the world. And the eldest brother couldn't sit still the most. He spent all day calling friends and going back and forth on the river...
Not only that uncle, but also several people who had been setting up stalls at the pier all year round saw Sang Fuyue's face, and then screamed "Ghost".
They staggered back, knocked over tables and chairs, and fell to the ground in a panic. But they couldn't care less about this at this time. He just closed his eyes and yelled, "Mr. Sang, it wasn't us who harmed you. We haven't even seen your body. You came back to see your family, didn't you? You came too late, your parents are both dead. , my sister also got married, and took your brother with her."
"It's already the fifteenth day of the seventh month. Mr. Sang, if no one gives you paper money to burn, tell me in your dream and I'll bring you two pots of gold ingots. We'll burn them for you by the water. Don't come out to scare people... "
"Your death has nothing to do with us. We didn't rob your family's fields or shops. Mr. Sang, there are grievances and debtors. Whoever owes your Sang family, who do you want to go to?" "
Everyone was so frightened that they lost consciousness.
Maybe Uncle Li and Uncle Wang were unhappy after hearing these unfavorable words. They ran down from the boat in a hurry, took spoons, basins, etc., and banged the table, "It's clear in the sky, where did this ghost come from? This is our eldest son, the eldest son of our Sang family is back. Old Taro, open your eyes and take a good look, this is our eldest young master. I have followed the eldest young master to your place to eat wontons many times before."
"Under this bright sun, our young master has a shadow. Our young master is a human being, not a ghost!"
"Old cripple, stop pretending. I know you can see it. Just take a closer look to see if this is our eldest young master."
Perhaps the words of Uncle Li and Uncle Wang had an effect, and perhaps everyone also remembered that this was a day in the blue sky, even if he was a fierce ghost, he would be wiped out when he came under the sun. How could it be haunted in broad daylight?
After everyone figured this out, they dared to look over.
The result is great. This is really a living person, and he has a shadow!
Thinking again about what Uncle Li and Uncle Wang said, there were immediately many old men and women who had set up stalls at the pier all year round, and they no longer even took care of business. But he walked quickly and walked not far away from them.
After watching this for a while, everyone burst into laughter again, "He is really the eldest son of the Sang family, he is really alive!"
"He is a living person, the eldest son of the Sang family. He still looks the same as before."
"I just said that the eldest son is good at water. Even if he falls into the water, he will not drown. You see, he is still alive."
"Isn't that right? He looks so powerful, he's living a pretty good life."
"Since you are alive, why haven't you returned home for so many years? Didn't you even show up for the funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Sang? I remember clearly that the old couple was buried by the little girl of the Sang family."
Someone asked Sang Fuyue, what have you been doing these past few years? Did he make a fortune? Are you coming back now to worship your ancestors, or are you coming back to settle down, or do you have other plans?
When it comes to the words "other plans", everyone's eyes are somewhat meaningful.
Think about how big the Sang family's fortune was before the Sang family's master and his wife passed away. Not only did the bookshops open all over Jinzhou, the Sang family also owned a printing factory and a papermaking factory. I heard that they also specialized in raising literati who published books...
What's left now?
Except for an old house standing in dilapidation, there is only a deaf and blind old man guarding it every day, and there is nothing left.
Thinking about the illustrious Sang family back then, and then thinking about the dilapidated appearance of the Sang family's house now, the contrast is so strong that it makes people sigh.
But, that was all in the past, now, isn't the eldest son of the Sang family back?
There are already people with sharp eyes and minds who have seen something from Lei Shuanghan.
Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he seemed to be a gentleman from a wealthy family. But his aura was overwhelming, and he was wearing court boots that could easily reveal his identity.
So, when a group of them hurriedly left the pier, the pier was even more lively and noisy, let alone quiet.
From time to time, an exclamation came from the crowd, "Is the young master of the Sang family becoming an official?"
"I'm afraid he's not even a minor official. Did you see those four followers following him? I guarantee they are all from the military. With those sharp eyes, I'm sure those people have lives on their hands."
"Then the eldest son of the Sang family has become a master."
"Is the eldest son of the Sang family married? Are those three boys descendants of the Sang family? I look somewhat similar to Mr. Sang."
"Definitely, we are destined to get married. I also saw the eldest daughter of the Sang family. Although it is a little different now than when I was a child, the girl who was designated is still good. The one who came down arm in arm with that girl should be the eldest lady of the Sang family. Then His aura doesn’t look like a simple one.”
Everyone talked a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that Sang Fuyue was prosperous and now had an official status. The wife he married was not an unknown person, which meant that his in-laws' family must not be simple!
Coming to these conclusions, everyone could not help but whisper words of relief, "The eldest son is back alive, some people will not be able to sleep."
"That's right! Just say that people can't do evil. It doesn't mean that they won't repay it. The time has not yet come."
"Think of how kind-hearted Mr. Sang and Mrs. Sang are. They had just left, and someone took advantage of them. Now that Mr. Sang is back, if he doesn't take revenge, I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow this breath."
Everyone was talking about anything. But the most discussed topic is still Sang Fuyue's whereabouts in recent years, and why he hasn't returned home for so many years; the other thing is, I don't know how the eldest son will get his property back... In short, everyone is extremely excited, if Not for the sake of livelihood, I really want to stop doing business and just wait in front of Sang's house all the time, waiting to watch the excitement.
Of course, some people are free to watch the excitement, while others feel as if they are facing a powerful enemy and are anxious about when the guillotine will fall on their heads.
Someone at the dock listened to the excitement, and then hurriedly went to the Wu family in Jinzhou City.
The Wu family is an old resident of Jinzhou and has been running the business for several generations. Because the head of the family has a lot of business acumen and the ancestors of the family also left many old skills, they made a lot of money.
The head of their family is in the business of being a scholar.
Whether it is the pens, inks, paper and inkstones used by scholars, or the clothes, shoes and socks worn by scholars, or hairbands and crowns, the Wu family can always find the person who leads the trend, turn these into a fashion, and then make them Sold to readers.
Relying on this management method, the Wu family has left a reputation for "good management" in the local area. But because they are too opportunistic and their methods are not all aboveboard, their overall reputation in Jinzhou is mediocre.
Then again, if the Wu family relied on various marketing methods to run the family business, and the Wu family did a good job in the business, then the Wu family has truly been promoted to the upper class families in Jinzhou and earned the title of the richest man in Jinzhou. Wealth has to start from twelve years ago.
A sensitive year, twelve years.
It was at that time that the head of the Sang family died together with his mistress, and the eldest son whom the Sang family raised as their heir disappeared. Only young girls and infant babies were left. Like a three-year-old child carrying gold bricks through the busy city, they attracted the covetousness of many people...
