The merchants under the river are spiritually yearning for wealth and nobility. They hope not only to make a lot of money every day, but also to have crowns.
The Lianyun Mansion under the archway of the ancient ferry under the Royal Wharf is owned by the Yan family. The ancestors were engaged in the salt industry. The first three generations were engaged in business, and the grandson began to study literature. The fourth generation became Jinshi. Everyone in Hexia knows it.
Master Shen naturally knew what Master Wu was worried about. His family's ancestral home was Lianshui. The Yellow River captured the Huai River and the whole family came to settle down by the river. The great ancestor Wu Ding, the grandfather Wu Ming, and the father Wu Zhen were all given single-character names for several generations of the Wu family. However, in his generation, Wu Rui, his first wife, Mrs. Xu, only gave birth to a daughter. The stubborn boss Wu has always been unwilling to name his daughter. I promised to take the name together when I have a younger brother in the future.
Now, God has blessed Mr. Wu to marry his second wife, Mrs. Zhang, and she will live up to her expectations. The Wu family has become more prosperous, and Chengen's sister has also been named Chengjia. From this, we can see how much Mr. Wu Rui and Wu long for Chengen's birth.
"You are right, all officials are inferior, only those who study are high-ranking. But which scholar in the world doesn't want to learn and is good at becoming an official?" Boss Wu said sincerely, "Boss Shen, think about how much I love reading, but my family is so poor. , after my father left, we returned to the river. From then on, my mother sewed clothes and washed clothes to make ends meet. It was a hard life."
"Gone are the days when you were burdened with your back. My son will definitely make your ancestral graves smoke in the future!" Mr. Shen patted Boss Wu, "Come on, let me ask you to rub your back..."
"Hey, how can I let you spend money?"
The two of them had a lot of intimate conversations over wine today. After half an hour, they got out of the pool, and the two of them lay down to sleep. The bathmates snored one after another, and they quickly fell asleep...
He woke up naturally after a long sleep. Unconsciously, Mr. Shen saw that it was getting late. He saw that Boss Wu was still asleep. He thought about the decline of the Wu family. He wanted to gain fame but failed. They were orphans and widowed. When I returned to Hexia from Hangzhou, I felt so lonely that I only had broken teeth and swallowed them in my stomach.
Mr. Shen was thinking while tasting Longjing. The Wu family relied on this widow to support them until Boss Wu later worked in the Xu family's small items shop in Datong Lane. Miss Xu's family fell in love with him, so the Wu and Xu families got married until he later took over the Xu family's shop. The small business started, and life gradually improved.
It's just that he, a man with little talent, has a different temperament than others, and his rotten literati nature makes him a strange person in Copper Alley. He was always reading in the store and never greeted customers. When someone comes to buy something, he doesn't even raise his head. He points to the sign with the words "Children are not bullied" and the visitor puts down the money himself. At most, someone would come to batch the goods and he would step in to support it.
Boss Shen knew that several generations of the Wu family had been officials, but his father died in a foreign country and his luck was ruined. The Wu family has been in trouble ever since, so he has been unhappy for a long time. But sometimes things must happen in life, and people can't fight with their lives, right?
"Waiter, please add a glass of water." Mr. Shen shouted loudly, which woke up Boss Wu.
"Hey, look, I haven't slept well this time." Boss Wu opened his eyes and saw that it was getting late, so he quickly got dressed.
"Wake up. The tea is ready for you. Take a sip of tea to wake up."
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
"In this way, you and I are destined to be brothers, so get dressed and go out to find a tavern, and we can continue chatting." Mr. Shen packed up first.
"Okay!" The two hit it off immediately.
They walked on the stone road from east to west. Huzui Street, the busiest part of Hexia Street, was now crowded with people. The alley was bustling with people, and tempting fragrances floated from time to time. Only then did Boss Wu realize that he had drank two more cups at noon and took a shower. I'm really hungry.

"Come on, let's go to the western end of Huzui. I heard that the roast chicken is quite special. Let's try it."
Upon hearing this, Boss Wu replied: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the magical land of Hexia. The Wu family and the Shen family have thrived in the ancient town of Hexia for decades. Although they are all doing business, Boss Wu knows that the Shen family is doing big business, and his small shop is nothing at all.
However, since the second wife became pregnant with the Wu family's child, Boss Wu was more nervous than anyone else. His wife, Mrs. Xu, knew that the man always wanted a son, otherwise the Wu family would be cut off. Hexia, even in the land of Huai'an Prefecture, and even in the land of Huaxia, the idea is almost the same.
Therefore, although there are reasons of the times for men to have three wives and four concubines, continuing their incense is also one of the reasons.
The sky became darker, and a waning moon appeared in the western sky. They came to the edge of the Li Canal, and smoke was curling up from the winding river. Boat owners traveling from north to south settled on the river. In order to prevent theft, the boat owners would not stop at the shore, but parked the boat on the water more than ten meters away from the shore.
Not far away, a fisherman in a small boat threw it hard, and a large net covered the river like a disc. The fishermen waited slowly and then quietly watched the river shaking the rope in their hands, pulling the net rope diagonally. The two people stared curiously.
"Look, the internet has exploded." Someone suddenly exclaimed.
Boss Wu looked over and saw the boat swaying. The fishermen were struggling to pull the heavy fishing nets. Suddenly, the river became dazzling and the water surface began to sway. The fishermen excitedly dragged the nets onto the boat with all their strength.
"Fishermen, bring me ten pounds of fish." The owner of the roast chicken tavern made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted loudly.
"Boss Dai, come here." A woman's voice was pleasant.
"The river and the moon look alike every year, and I wonder who the river and the moon are waiting for." Boss Wu looked at the vast canal in front of him and listened to the sound of the gurgling water. He chanted with emotion in his heart, "When will the spring flowers and the autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past? There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back in the moonlight. The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the beauty has changed. How much sorrow can you have? Just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. Brother Shen has been able to transport water for thousands of years. I have made our Hexia Ancient Town a success, but fate is unfair to me!"
"Brother Wu, I'm so excited, but don't be so pessimistic! How well the poet Li Bai wrote. To be successful in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the gold bottle empty to face the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold. Cooking sheep Slaughtering cattle is fun, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Come on, let's try the special roast chicken." Mr. Shen pulled Boss Wu down the river embankment.
"Boss bosses, please bring up your specialties. You just made us a fish pot sticker." Mr. Shen said to the enthusiastic waiter.
"Okay, sir, please drink tea first and eat some melon seeds. The food will be served shortly." The waiter quickly made the tea and went to the kitchen.
Suddenly the sound of gongs opened the way, and a large sedan chair with eight carriages slowly descended the river embankment. Then the gong ringer, who was fighting against others, shouted arrogantly at the bottom of the embankment: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Who is it?" Boss Wu asked.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
