398. Times change
Wu You's family has been on the side of a 20 miles north of Linfen over the years, doing a brine fast food deal, and sometimes they also take into account the advice of Xu Erlang and the others to inquire about the news.
Recently, because Goguryeo seems to be going on another war, Wu You collected information while thinking about the impact of this war on Chang'an City and even the extremely disciples of the Luo family.
I hope Xu Erlang and the others can come and meet him soon, so that they can discuss and discuss it. If the saint really conquers Goguryeo and Chang'an City this time, what should he do if someone takes the opportunity to attack them?
It was finally easy to wait until late July, and finally waited for the North and South groceries transport team passed by him. Before he could say anything more, he first handed him a letter from Xu Erlang.
After reading this letter, Wu You couldn't help but feel a little worried after reading it. What he was happy about was that Wu You finally wanted to get rid of his identity as a runaway slave and was valued by his master. This skill finally had the opportunity to display it.
What is worried about is that if this matter is not done smoothly, it is likely to affect the Luo family and his fellow brothers.
"Wu Dalang doesn't need to worry too much. He left for a long time and told me, "If you are nostalgic for this place, you don't want to go to Changle County, so you will write a letter to your master."
"If you want to go to Changle County, you will pack up earlier in the past few days and set off with us. When you get out of here, Erlang and the others will arrange the next thing, so as not to let them not do the things they have done, and they will ask you to be taken away."
"Of course I'm willing to go, how could I not?" Wu You said repeatedly.
"Then you just go and leave the rest to us." Luo Yong said.
"I'm afraid I'll implicate you." Wu You didn't want to say this at first, and always felt that it was a bit unlucky. But in the matter, what you should say must be made clear.
"What are you afraid of?" His senior brother of the same school laughed and said, "In the early years, the master was almost labeled as a lich. If they had done that, we brothers should have gone to the underworld. Since you and I are brothers of the same school, your business is ours. Don't say these heretics, just go to the master with peace of mind."
Although the twenty disciples Luo Yong had accepted in the past, although they had a low background, they had seen some markets over the years, especially those who had been outside for many years, whose minds and visions were already different from those in the past.
There were also those timid people who had arranged relatively safe and proper work with them, and those who lived their own life with peace of mind would let them go as long as they did not humiliate their masters.
Although Wu You knew early in the morning that these senior brothers of his classmates were all sentiments and righteousness, he was very moved when he heard such words.
In the evening of that day, he went to tell his father-in-law that they would set off in the next two days and go to Changle County, Longxi, and the brine shop would be left to his wife and brother-in-law to run it.
When he left, he would return in some time. Naturally, his wife and children would have to go with him, but it would have hurt his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it would be difficult to see his daughter and grandchildren again.
"..." His father-in-law was sitting in the yard building an umbrella stand. While listening to him, he was doing his work silently. After he finished speaking, the old man was silent for a moment and said, "Go."
"It's just that I'm ugly. After I'm away, don't treat her badly."
Wu You immediately turned red, gave a big gift to his father-in-law, and said solemnly: "In this life, no matter in life or death, I, Wu You, have only Aguo, a wife."
Later, the two of them mentioned some future arrangements, and Wu You also mentioned that if his former master came here, his father-in-law would not be afraid: "We have hundreds of people in our village, and are they afraid of his foreign household?"
Wu You advised him that if such a thing really happened, it would be better to communicate with his fellow disciples. Those who have been in Chang'an City for many years can always find some relationships and mediate them from it, which is better than asking the people in their village to fight with others. If they are not careful, they will have their lives filled.
Later, Aguo and her two brothers also came from the shop. Several people in the family sat in the main hall. Guo’s mother and Aguo packed their bags while whispering soft drizzle.
The atmosphere on the men was much more serious. When Wu You went to Changle County, he wanted to help Luo Sanlang manage the shop. I wonder if the shop in Changle County was as big as the shop in Chang'an City.
He also said that the people in Hexi are so tough that I wonder if Wu You can control those people.
He also said that if his former master came, what would happen? Wu You's two brothers-in-law didn't take this matter seriously. He just said that he was just a fugitive slave, and it was not a head-lost activity.
Wu You scared them and said that a person who was as innocent as his master was almost beaten to be a sinner. If those people were determined to seek trouble, how could they not add fuel to the fire? They told them to be careful in their words and actions and not to give others the opportunity to take advantage of them.
In fact, his two brothers-in-law also wanted to go to Changle County with him, but Aye did not agree. Wu You obviously had no such plan, so he just told them to guard Ye Niang. If Wu You gained power in the future, he would definitely not forget the kindness of the Guo family.
Old Man Guo said that his children were incompetent, and the only one who could be counted on was Wu You. He was not greedy for wealth and honor. As long as the family could have the few students studying in this family, they would die in peace.
Wu You knew that Old Man Guo was also a person with some knowledge and ambitions. He always hoped that the Guo family would change their families one day, that their children and grandchildren could have a future, and that their families would be prosperous and that their ancestors would be glorious.
"I will definitely live up to my father-in-law!" Wu You promised!
Within two days, Wu You took his wife and children to the direction of Changle County with his wife and children. After arriving in Changle County, he went to Hexi with the Lishi merchants who transported tea.
On the day of traveling, in addition to the Guo family, many villagers came out to see him off. Although their village has a large population, they have never had a promising person.
Although the Guo family's son-in-law is a little unclear, he is really a smart and capable person. I heard that he wanted to help others manage their business this time, and I just hope that he can make a name for himself this time.
The eldest son of a wealthy family in their neighboring village was studying in the county a few years ago. Because of his excellent character and academic performance, he was a rare filial son. He was highly regarded by the governor and became the county magistrate of their county through the way of filial piety and honesty.
Two years ago, a villager in their village was falsely accused of being a thief in the city, which was wronged. His family went to find the county magistrate. In just a few days, the man was released. If there were no acquaintances in the hometown, it would be so easy.
The villagers in this village hoped that Wu You would be successful, which was probably the same reason why the people in Xipo Village hoped that Luo Yong would be successful.
On the side of Chang'an City, Xu Erlang went to find Du Xi after learning that Wu You had set off.
In fact, Du Xi had also received a letter from Luo Yong earlier. In addition to greetings, he thanked him for the donkey-hide gelatin he gave to Aunt Luo earlier, and also talked about business affairs with him. He did not look like an official at all. Du Xi also felt a little funny when he looked at it.
In addition, Luo Yong also sighed to him in his letter: "It is not easy to find a talent for managing a shop. If he could have such a person, he would not feel a pity at all for half a bonus."
When Du Xi saw this, he was a little suspicious. What does the Luo Coffin Board mean? He wouldn't have wanted to ask himself to take care of his shop? Although Du Xi was a little down at this time, it was more than that.
It was not until this day that Xu Erlang came to him and told him about Wu You that Du Xi suddenly realized that Luo Yong’s letter said that he wanted to exchange a half-earned bonus for a talent, which turned out to be what he meant.
This matter is not very difficult for Du Xi. Wu You's previous master family, Xu Erlang and others have already checked it clearly over the years. In this entire Tang Dynasty, even third-rate families are not considered to be considered better than ordinary gentry.
A family like that generally has one common problem, that is, it is difficult to enter the society. No matter how much family wealth or land is, in the eyes of these gentry, they are still a group of old hats.
If they want to take off their status as a rustic old hat, they may become a stunning talent, and their light will be hidden. They will be valued by the saints, and they will be able to ascend to heaven by one person.
Either they make friends with these big families nowadays and slowly take root. However, the serious gentry members will definitely not look down on them and are ashamed of marrying families like them.
Otherwise, if the world is in chaos one day, if their family follows the right person, they may be able to make a founding contribution.
These three paths are not easy to follow. If you have to choose one that is relatively easy, you may be to make friends with the gentry.
Especially some down-and-out gentry, such as Du Xi, who is now, can easily give people the illusion that they are easier to hook up.
The Du family was rebelled by the prince, and many futures of their later lives were destroyed, including Du Xi, especially when he first resisted the marriage, and then wrote a letter home to ask the Du family members to protect Du Gou.
I don’t know who spread the news, which made many people outside spread his story, saying that Du Xi is a kind and righteous person, and the Du family is really disliked. This makes the elders of the Du family dislike Du Xi now.
Needless to say, this pissle of sow discord is probably done by cousins in their clan who had disliked him before. The methods are not very clever, but they are quite effective.
Du Xi’s current situation is not very good. First, his career is bleak, and second, he is excluded from the Du family. If this continues, no matter how long he wants to have a future, he may even have a problem with his meal.
So when Xu Erlang mentioned this matter to him that day, Du Xi did not hesitate and agreed readily, asking Xu Erlang to tell him the information they had carefully, and the matter would be included in him.
As long as he gets half of the bonus of the North-South Grocery Changle Store, he doesn't have to look at the faces of the old guys in the clan. In the future, they may have the day to win over him, which is also known.
The Luo family's current development is booming. Not only can it be protected today, but the Bai family, who are very close to them, seems to have a very harmonious relationship with the new prince.
Now most of the discerning people in Chang'an City have seen it. If nothing unexpected happens, when the new crown prince takes office, the Bai family will gain power. So what will happen to the Luo family in the future?
This time after arriving in Chang'an City, this is why Du Xi sent a box of donkey-hide gelatin to Aunt Luo so quickly.
That box of donkey-hide gelatin is both a show of goodwill and a test. I will explore what his coffin board is currently treating him. Now it seems that it is not bad.
...
By the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the weather will get a little cooler.
On this day, Du Xi and several old friends were having wine in the restaurant. While eating, they didn't know the truth. One of them told him to teach him that he should consider the situation of his elders in his family more and not to fall into the elders in his family for his own fame and injustice.
Du Xi was furious when he heard this. He immediately retorted:
"I have my own opinions on my own affairs. Brother, don't spend all day on this face, and not only does my mind and intelligence have not improved, but have also retreated."
Although Du Xi and these people were not loyal, they were all aware of their roots. How could they not know what the Du family looked like? The person who spoke at this time did not say that he was framed and embarrassed, but instead belittled his character. How could Du Xi not be angry?
If Du Xi had just said a few words to him, the man might have tolerated it, but now he is different from the past. What's so great about Du Xi now, so he stood up and fucked him.
These two people said one by one, first they mocked each other, but soon they started to curse. Finally, they simply dragged their shoes and hats to smash them towards them, lifted the table and threw the plate and started to beat them, attracting many people watching the fun.
In the days that followed, some people stood up to be peacemakers for them, but they always parted in disagreement.
Before August 15th, Du Xi took his servant named Xie Kui and drove out of Chang'an City in a carriage.
There was also a gloating person in the city, saying that Du Langjun's carriage had not many luggage, but was filled with resentment.
There are also some people who sympathize with Du Xi's experience, but they only say that the world is still as beautiful as the world.
"But no one else blames him. Who told him to make friends with wine and meat?"
"They will all be in office for their drinking and meat friends in the future."
"Tsk, the officialdom is asking these people to mess up."
"I heard that this time Du Langjun went out, Bai Yeying was still in trouble with him."
"Bai Yeying... I haven't heard of this name for a long time."
"I'm old and the scenery is no longer..."
"In the early years, her singing and dancing song and a peony cushion made her fascinated the eyes of many young men."
"Now I don't use any makeup and become a Taoist nun."
"The brothel woman has ended up pretty well."
"She is also a kind person..."
