Xia Xue and Sun Houpu stayed in Wangxiang for one night, and slowly woke up to the sound of books.
The air in Helu has a hint of sweetness. The villagers here are rich and comfortable. At least they are not like other places where they always have a pair of wary eyes looking at them. At least here, Xia Xue will not feel that she is being condescended to. Looking up.
The villagers have seen a lot of the world over the years, and their horizons have been opened. They no longer hate the rich, and they won't find anything new strange. After all, even the prince has been here. The place.
The relationship between Sun Houpu and Liang Chuan is too deep, and he gave Liang Chuan great help when Liang Chuan was in the most difficult time. Only this family could repay Sun Houpu in this way and truly regard him as one of their own.
Shitou was filled with emotion when he met his cousin in Wangxiang.
At that time, everyone thought that their cousin must be crazy, following the poor guy like Xinghua all day long. Only Shitou could vaguely guess that Liang Chuan was not an ordinary person, and what he did was even less ordinary.
Facts can also prove that gold will shine in the end, and pearls will fall into trouble for a while. Talents like Liang Chuan can create a world no matter where they are. Zheng Ruoying also proved with her persistence that her choice was not wrong.
Just walking with a group of people seems to be walking in an extremely long circle. Only when you come back to your senses can you realize this truth. Fortunately, looking back on half a life, all of them can get together, and there is no regret.
Sun Houpu looked at Xia Xue beside him. He could clearly remember the scene when he came to Xinghua. All he wanted was to marry a wife who could help him. He didn't want to be rich, at least he could have a taste of life. Some, who knew he would be able to marry the daughter of the current prime minister in the end. .
If he hadn't come to Xinghua back then, would he have married the daughter of a big businessman and continued to be his concubine, hoping that one day he could take over the Sun family's business? .
Fortune plays tricks on people.
The group stayed for a day and then left Xinghua and headed for Qingyuan. The north gate of Qingyuan was also included in the expansion this time. The city walls in the south were too low and would become the target of Japanese attacks.
If it were a tall city wall in the north, the Japanese would just hang out in nearby small villages. How could they dare to attack those fortified cities?
Liang Chuan heard that Sun Houpu was going to return to Qingyuan to settle down. He originally wanted to greet his brother, but he couldn't get away from things on Penghu Island, so he didn't come to Qingyuan.
Many officials in Weiyuan Tower used to have contacts with Sun Hopu. Later, when they heard that Sun Hopu had defected from the Sun family and established his own business, many people cut off contact with him. What benefit could a Sun Hopu get from him when he was in trouble? These officials were afraid that Sun Hopu would come to him for help, and many of the original contacts had faded away!
But when the news that Sun Houpu married the daughter of Xia Mansion reached Weiyuan Tower, many people began to feel restless again. They shamelessly recalled the past when they and Sun Houpu were brothers and helped the Sun family in business. Drawing on these past friendships, I am in love with Sun Hopu!
The reason why Zhao Weixian was able to leave Quanzhou Prefecture and return to Bianjing City to become his prince was because of Xia Song's efforts in front of the official family! How did he get involved with Xia Song? It is said that Zhao Weixian humiliated himself and went to the Sun family to ask the Sun family's old man for help. The old man couldn't help, so he relied on countless connections to send letters of help to his son in Bianjing City. There was no reply to the letter, but fortunately the matter was done in the end, otherwise the Sun family might never have to think about doing business in Qingyuan again!
As soon as Sun Houpu returned to the city, he did not wait for Liangchuan, but was blocked by a group of profit-seeking officials at Chaotian Gate, unable to advance or retreat.
After counting carefully, most of these are officials from Weiyuan Building, the Shipping Department and the Tea Administration. In the past, if these leeches did not show enough respect to them, they would immediately use various tricks to rectify their Sun family. The most fearful thing is that It's the officials who collect taxes. The purpose of smuggling is to save some tax money. Once the taxes are collected, there will be no profit. Tea is not yet an ordinary business. It cannot be done openly and can only be smuggled.
Xia Xue took a look at the clothes of these officials. Although they were not wearing official robes, details such as the silk shoes under their feet and the ribbons on their belts quickly revealed their identities. These people were either rich or noble.
Children who grew up in the official circles have no other advantages, except that their ability to observe faces and emotions is better than that of ordinary people.
Xia Xue said lightly: "It seems that someone is coming to curry favor with you, Mr. Sun!"
Sun Houpu sneered and said: "It's not enough to say that I was dirty in the past. When I left home, I didn't see this group of people so enthusiastic. Most of them are still taking advantage of you, my wife!"
Xia Xue snorted and said: "Don't struggle with them for too long, we have to go find Brother Liang!"
The officials 'blocked' Sun Houpu's path and said, "Brother Pu is finally back. It's such a hard time for the old brothers to wait!"
Many shameless officials not only turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people in the city, but also thought about speculation all day long. As soon as they heard about the opportunity, they came to the city gate to wait for Sun Houpu. It turned out that they ignored others and even gave horses to others. On hold.
Xia Xue has seen this kind of scene many times, especially after his father Xia Song became the chief minister, many people fawned over him.
Now Xia Song wants to stutter but it's hard to flatter him without a certain identity. However, Xia Song is hard to see, and his son-in-law is much easier to see!
Sun Houpu responded by turning over and dismounting, and said very politely to the officials who came to greet him: "Everyone, this is..."
Sun Houpu couldn't even name many of these officials, and they were of no use anyway, so why bother bothering them.
The officials smiled flatteringly and said: "Brother Pu has been tired from traveling and traveling. We have already prepared drinks at Yuehua Restaurant. It is no better than the Forbidden City in Bianjing. We old brothers are all looking forward to Brother Pu's return and reminiscing with him. !”
Talk about your mother’s past!
Sun Houpu secretly slandered, but he did not dare to insult him face to face. He could ignore it. If these officials took it out on his Sun family, his father would be killed.
"My lords, I am truly a guest, and I am very flattered. Let's do this. My wife and I have come a long way and there is no place to rest. After we settle down first, how about I make a treat for you all in the future?"
Everyone looked at Sun Houpu and then at Xia Xue, who was riding on the horse with an expressionless face. !
All the officials in Weiyuan Tower felt a little disappointed. They originally wanted to curry favor with the daughter of the Xia family, hoping to join Xia Song's line in the future. Now that they have annoyed her, how can they do anything in the future? In this situation , they had to say a few nice words and let Sun Houpu leave.
Looking at Sun Houpu's leaving figure, many officials sighed in place: "What smoke is coming from the Sun family's ancestral graves, and this swan meat can be eaten by this kid, which is a waste of good food!"
Fortunately, Xia Xue didn't hear it, otherwise she would definitely not spare these people!
Sun Houpu led Xia Xue to the dock. Now it was inconvenient for him to go back to Sun's house directly, so he could only temporarily stay at Liang Chuan's place, and the dock was Liang Chuan's place.
Liang Chuan was in Penghu and had not returned yet. As soon as Su Wei saw that she was Xia Song's daughter, she immediately arranged the best room for him. The original design of the port office was to integrate office and life, so there would be no problem at all for a few people to live there.
Xia Xue started to lose her temper when she saw no sign of Liang Chuan: "Old man, Liang Chuan didn't come out to meet us even if he knew we were back. What kind of plot is this?"
Su Wei only heard that Xia Song raised a daughter who was extremely aggressive. She never thought that she could be so aggressive. How could a woman be more domineering than a man?
"Our boss has gone to sea, and we have already sent people to invite him. Please stay here, girl. She will come naturally in no time!"
Xia Xue immediately became energetic, and the little girl's thoughts jumped on her face: "Going to the sea? Where did he go? I haven't seen the sea yet. Take me to see it quickly!"
For northerners, the sea is as full of curiosity as southerners long to see snow. But when they actually see it, more people feel scared, because the sea is too vast and full of unknowns, just like southerners can't stand the cold when it snows!
Sun Houpu quickly comforted him: "Don't be anxious. It's here now. The sea is right there and you can't escape. You can't see it anytime you want. Don't you feel tired? Take a rest first and I'll take you around the city first." visit!"
Qingyuan City is big, but it doesn't have any highlights. The only places to visit are a few ancient temples and ancient temples with a long history. The intersection of cultures collides here. Many civilizations that have even disappeared in their birthplaces often end up Their temples can be found here.
Traveling around mountains and rivers is often not about how beautiful the mountains are, but about the people around you. With the people you like, even ordinary streets have a special flavor. Xia Xue and Sun Houpu had been in Bianjing for many days, but they were not in the mood to play at all. Sun Houpu was afraid of being scolded by Xia Song for not being motivated, and he only thought about fighting chickens and dogs all day long.
He is a businessman. What kind of enterprising spirit can there be for a businessman? Apart from making the smell of copper even stronger, there is no room for improvement.
Xia Xue nodded, she was also full of longing and curiosity for this place.
In the next few days, Sun Houpu said that he would come back to visit his parents, but he did not lead Xia Xue to the Sun family. People had already known that Sun Houpu returned home with his wife, which was the biggest joke to the Sun family.
The two of them had a lot of fun at this most suitable time. First, they visited the ancient temples in Qingyuan devoutly, then went fishing on the banks of the Sun River, and went to the mountains to look for me. Although it was a small town, it was very romantic. , Liu Jinyan was deceived by Liang Chuan in this city!

On this day, the two of them were sitting in the port, thinking about where to go next, when a boy came to report: "Young Master, please come back to my house!"
