Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper - Chapter 85

Jinzhou Fucheng

Baizhenlou, Baiweifang, and Nanbeixing, Weicheng spent more than half a year to establish the three shops in Fucheng.

As soon as Wei Cheng came to Fucheng, he registered as an official and businessman, joined the Fucheng Chamber of Commerce, and used his official and business rights in exchange for overseas privileges.

He did not use this privilege immediately.

Wei Cheng, an official and businessman who descended to Fucheng out of thin air, surprised the upper class of Fucheng’s wealthy family, thinking it was a junior from some powerful family.

Later, we found out the details of Weicheng, and the rich and powerful families in Fucheng had their own opinions on this official and businessman. If you want to make friends, you can make friends.

Wei Cheng was concerned about opening a new store and socializing. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin was born in the prefect of Jinzhou, and with the help of Lin family connections, with his knowledge and ability, he was able to deal with those things with ease, and was able to establish a firm foothold in the prefecture within half a year. .

Wei Cheng only bothered about one thing, whether those high-ranking wealthy businessmen or powerful families, anyone with ideas, wanted to give him their own children.

Wei Cheng’s attitude was strict and refused from the very beginning. No matter who wanted to push someone to him, with this attitude, he offended people at first. Later, the upper echelon of Fucheng spread the word and discussed it, but they were used to it.

Because it treats everyone equally, what good do you have to say that people don’t give face and refuse.

However, those ladies in the upper class are even more curious about what kind of person Wei Cheng’s husband is. They all know that Wei Cheng’s husband is pregnant and have no way to start, and they have not seen the real person so far.

They are really envious and curious about a capable and extraordinary man who does not marry an ordinary wife and take concubines.

Half a year later, Wei Lei and Ren Nianluo were married.

Not only these two people, even Zhou Qiu got married, and the one who married was the scholar Zhou Yuan met at the scholar banquet at cousin Zhou Yuan’s back then.

Wei Cheng attended the wedding banquet alone, and Zhou Yuan was unable to move, so he didn’t go back.

After Wei Lei got married, he took Ren Nianluo to Jinzhou Fucheng.

When Wei Lei and Ren Nianluo arrived in Fucheng, Wei Lei hurried in and out with Wei Cheng, Ren Nianluo and Zhou Yuan were accompanied, the two elder brothers were at home leisurely.

However, no matter how busy Wei Cheng and Wei Lei are, they will spare time to be with others.

Wei Lei took Ren Nianluo to stay in Fucheng for more than two months, and returned to Nanshan County in late October. The workshop had to catch up with a batch of New Year’s goods, and Wei Cheng couldn’t come back to make arrangements, so Wei Lei had to go back to make arrangements.

Moreover, their new home is still in the suburbs of Nanshan County.

Before parting.

Wei Cheng patted Wei Lei on the shoulder and said, “Leizi, you should think about whether you want to do something with me in Fucheng, or whether you will be in charge of the Nanshan County workshop in the future!”

Wei Lei nodded solemnly: “I will consider it.”

Zhou Yuan took Ren Nianluo’s hand: “Brother Luo, come to Fucheng next time. I heard that there are many beautiful places in Fucheng, and you can go for outings in the suburbs. I heard that there are still foreigners in Fucheng. The baby is born next year. If you come, we can go together Look.”

Ren Nianluo didn’t want to go back either: “Well, I will definitely come.”

Before parting, Ren Nianluo was very reluctant. He still wanted to be with Yuan Yuan. In Jinzhou for more than two months, he and Yuan Yuan chatted together, read story books, listened to the gossip news of Fucheng, and watched tea and appreciation together. Jingjing, talking intimate words together… Yuanyuan is his first real friend, and he still wants to see the baby born, it must be very cute.

On the boat, Wei Lei looked at his daughter-in-law so reluctantly, “We will go to Jinzhou again after the Chinese New Year, don’t be unhappy.”

“Really?!” Ren Nianluo’s eyes lit up.

“Chengzi’s child will be born next year, and we will definitely go to see the child.”

“right!”

Ren Nianluo was happy to be assured.

Seeing his wife happy, Wei Lei wondered if he would consider going to Jinzhou for development. In fact, compared to Nanshan County, he can learn more and get in touch with more new things by working with friends in Jinzhou. A better future!

He was worried that Nian Luo would hesitate because of his mother-in-law.

Wei Lei said that the mother-in-law is the third aunt.

“Nian Luo, if we settle in Fucheng, will you get used to it?” Wei Lei asked.

“Live in Fucheng? Um…” Ren Nianluo pondered for a moment, and then smiled, “You can go anywhere, even Fucheng, as long as you decide!”

Wei Lei was surprised, “Leaving Nanshan County to go to Fucheng, don’t you worry about thinking about your mother-in-law?”

Ren Nianluo shook his head lightly, “Well… Fucheng is very close to Nanshan County, so I will come back whenever I want my mother, and my mother once said that after getting married, I have to take care of my husband, and I can’t always go back to my mother’s house. My mother’s natal family is here In the south, it takes more than half a month to go back and forth, she will be homesick, but she has never gone back, she said that she should concentrate on her husband’s house after getting married, not to mention that I can go back and see my mother.”

Tutor dictates!

A smile appeared on Wei Lei’s serious face, and he made a decision in his heart!

“We will move to Fucheng next year to settle down.”

“Uh!?”

—

late november.

The Zhou family has come to move to a new home in the suburbs of the county seat.

Soon, Zhou Yuan’s third sister-in-law, Zhou Wang, gave birth to a baby boy as she wished.

Zhou’s family celebrated with the whole family. Zhou Yuan’s third brother, Zhou Zheng, finally had a son.

The queen mother brought her little daughter to visit and said happily: “Mother is really happy for you. The Zhou family’s life is getting richer and richer. Now you are giving birth to a boy for the Zhou family. Your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are not as good as you in the Zhou family. You will enjoy the blessings in the future.” Please don’t forget about your natal family!”

Her daughter has a son next to her, and the things she has been worrying about can finally be swallowed back in her stomach.

Miss Wang enviously ate the snacks and said: “Mother, did you see that the elder sister has chicken soup to drink, and brown sugar boiled eggs, and the snacks are very sweet red dates, look, there are toffee.” Put the red dates in the clothes pocket.

“You child, you only know how to eat. Where is this place? It’s good for your eldest sister to live in now.” The queen mother gave her little daughter a look and asked her to behave, “This is an independent small courtyard, where the living space is spacious and comfortable. comfortable.”

The Zhou family has a new house in the suburbs. All three sons have a small independent yard. The yard is not big, but it is an independent yard after all, as if it is a small home. A row of houses was also built for the children to live in, while vegetables were grown in the front yard and poultry were raised in the back yard.

After the Weiji workshop was established in the suburbs, many people bought land and built houses in the suburbs. The houses in the suburbs are still expanding, and there are many neighbors around the Zhou family.

The Queen Mother asked quietly: “Is there a son-in-law of a merchant in my in-laws, and that son-in-law opened the Baizhen Building in the inner city that sells rare treasures. Waiting for mushrooms…the rich will give bird’s nest, which is the best supplement for confinement, why haven’t I seen someone send some over?”

It’s just chicken soup and red dates. The Queen Mother disliked it. This week’s family is really, why didn’t someone send some better.

The third sister-in-law Zhou Wang’s eyes flashed with obscure emotions, and she quickly recovered, looked at her son sleeping on the small wooden bed, and smiled: “Brother Yuan and I don’t have a good relationship, it’s not surprising that they didn’t bring anything. Mom, don’t say that in front of my in-laws.”

“Your mother, I am more measured than you.” The Queen Mother continued to ask: “It has been a few days since the child was born, did they come to see you?”

Miss Wang interjected next to her: “That’s right, big sister, will Brother Zhou and his husband-in-law come? If they come, I will stay with my mother for a few more days.” If she can marry in the county town, she might have the opportunity to become a young mistress and have a better life than her elder sister.

Wang Xiaomei is daydreaming.

The Queen Mother was also waiting for the eldest daughter to answer, and she had the same thoughts as the younger daughter.

The third sister-in-law, Zhou Wang, shook her head and said, “I heard that Brother Yuan and his husband-in-law have gone to Jinzhou Prefecture. It has been more than half a year. It seems that they will live in Jinzhou Prefecture forever.”

“Oh my god!” The mother and daughter exclaimed together, envious.

The Queen Mother said: “Go to Fucheng to live, how rich it is.” She had heard that the cost of Fucheng is even higher than that of Nanshan County.

Wang Xiaomei made no secret of her jealousy, thinking to herself, if she met that man named Wei Cheng earlier than that Zhou family brother, then all this would belong to her, or she would not have the Zhou family’s brother’s share.

It’s just that if people go to Fucheng, then their visit will be in vain.

The mother and daughter of the Wang family took this opportunity to visit the Zhou Wang family, and at the same time, they took the opportunity to establish a good relationship with that brother of the Zhou family, and then pestered him with a three-inch tongue to ask him to help introduce someone to Wang Xiaomei. They were not afraid of the Zhou family. My brother disagreed, and if they didn’t agree, they would cry. They were related by in-laws. If they cried, it would not disgrace the Zhou family and the Wei family. In the end, they had to agree.

It’s a good idea to use leverage, but it’s a pity that no one is there.

“Daughter, will my grandson Man Yue come?”

“Not necessarily.” Zhou Wang said, “Brother Yuan is about to give birth, if he comes, his son-in-law may come back.”

Maybe, just not sure!

I don’t know if Brother Yuan will give birth to a boy or a brother……

Zhou Wang looked darkly.

If Brother Yuan gave birth to Brother Yuan, she would feel…

He lowered his head and smiled.

She has a son, and her status in the Zhou family has stabilized. Slowly, she can change her relationship with Zhou Yuan. She will plan everything for her son. In the future, her son will take the imperial examination. It is just a merchant. It doesn’t matter if they ignore her now. She will make everyone fawn on her.

Zhou Wangshi is also somewhat beautiful in the village when she is young, and those who pursue her can line up in the village, and she has been watched and envied by others since she was a child.

The queen mother has been emphasizing at home or outside that Zhou Wang can marry into a rich family and eat delicious food. Zhou Wang always thinks like that, so you are proud…

When she was a young girl, she met a suitor, who was the richest family in the village and took good care of her. In the village, she was the envy of everyone, and she felt that she could live a good life.

Originally, we had to talk about marriage with that pursuer, but later…that man married a scholar’s daughter, and moved his family to the county town to develop…

Zhou Wang became the laughing stock of the village. She was arrogant, how could she tolerate it, and her parents even scolded her, making her family the laughing stock of the village.

Then something happened, the Queen Mother avoided shame, she had to marry Zhou Jiacun, a country man named Zhou Zheng.

The Zhou family can have a meal, but she doesn’t like that the Zhou family dotes on a brother so much. No matter how bad this brother’s reputation in the village is, the Zhou family will protect this brother.

As a daughter of a family, she has a beautiful face, gentle and intelligent, and was once praised by everyone, but she had a beautiful marriage but became a laughing stock.

She committed herself to marrying Zhou’s husband and godson to serve her parents-in-law. She is so good, she can’t compare to a petite and weak brother who doesn’t have the slightest brother.

She felt both humiliated and jealous.

…

Before giving birth to a daughter, she had no confidence in the Zhou family, but now that she has a son, she will have confidence in the Zhou family in the future.

Compared with the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, she knows how to behave.

Right now, she wants to establish a good relationship with Brother Yuan, and use the other party’s financial resources to seek a better life in the future.

The day of the child’s full moon.

Neither Wei Cheng nor Zhou Yuan attended, and arranged for servants to send congratulatory gifts.

Although Zhou Wang didn’t say anything, he was still dissatisfied.

I’m pregnant with a child, if one can’t come, the other can come too……

Fucheng

Lantern Festival.

Fucheng Lantern Festival is both grand and full of fireworks.

The Wei Mansion was hung with lanterns to welcome the festival, but there was a tense atmosphere in the mansion, and the servants walked around in a panic, going in and out between the main courtyards.

Because, the Lord of the Wei Palace is about to give birth.

There was a cry of pain in the temporary delivery room of the main hospital—

Wei Cheng paced back and forth at the door of the room with both eagerness and distress.

Wei Lei and Ren Nianluo also came to Fucheng, sat in the pavilion of the main courtyard, and waited anxiously.

Uncle Mao was directing his subordinates to do things, and all the doctors were invited by Wei Cheng to wait in the mansion.

Both Aunt Mao and Xiao Liu helped Mrs. Wen deliver the baby in the delivery room.

Wei Hu, a bastard, heard the pain coming from the delivery room, his expression burst into shivering, feeling the pain, and then fled outside the main courtyard to pray to the moon:

Come out quickly, little master! !

Maybe it was Wei Hu’s prayers that worked, maybe the baby was always well-behaved in the womb of his mother and father, and he couldn’t bear to let his mother and father suffer too much when he was born. It didn’t take long to hear the baby cry:

“Whoa—”

The voice is thin, but powerful.

“It was born, the Lord gave birth—”

Xiao Liu excitedly ran out to announce the good news, and the others hurried up to inquire about the situation.

Seeing the door opened, Wei Cheng quickly ran into the delivery room, not caring about what Xiao Liu said.

Wei Cheng ran into the delivery room, and ran directly to the bed, not noticing that Granny Wen was holding the child, and Aunt Mao was tidying up her master, and retreated when she saw Wei Cheng coming.

Zhou Yuan’s hair was wet with sweat, his face was pale and he lay down on the bed.

Wei Cheng squatted down beside the bed, took the veil with distress and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead, “Yuan Yuan, does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Zhou Yuan said weakly, then looked around, “Boy, where’s the baby?”

Aunt Mao came over with the baby in her arms.

The couple looked at the past at the same time.

Aunt Mao smiled and said: “Congratulations, master, master, the master has given birth to a little brother.”

She didn’t have so many worries and congratulated her directly because her master always called her little brother to her master’s belly all day long, and everyone in the Wei family knew that the master liked little brother.

What a little brother!

The couple looked at each other, Zhou Yuan’s eyes were full of joy, and Wei Cheng’s eyes were filled with surprise, “Yuan Yuan, I have a baby at home!”

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly when he heard this.

His husband really likes the little brother, it’s not that kind of hypocrisy.

Wei Cheng carefully took his baby from Aunt Mao, looking at the soft baby in the swaddle, Wei Cheng’s heart softened into a pool of water.

The Adam’s apple slipped, and there was a feeling in my heart that I had never felt before.

He and his wife have a baby, and the little ball is their blood.

Wei Cheng lowered his body and showed the child to his wife.

Zhou Yuan looked at the child with tears in his eyes, “It’s so small…” The emotion and joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

This is his and her husband’s baby.

The woman Wen next to her was originally worried that the master’s family would not like the little brother, but seeing the master’s expression of joy, she was relieved that the reward would not be less.

Although he was excited, his daughter-in-law came first in Wei Cheng’s heart, so he handed the child to Aunt Mao, and personally took over Aunt Mao’s work to wipe his wife’s body.

The people in the house retreated, and Aunt Mao carried the child out to make everyone feel happy. It was still the first month of the month and the wind was still blowing outside, so Aunt Mao carried the child to the living room for everyone to watch, and everyone followed.

Ren Nianluo came to the front and yelled happily: “What a small group, so cute!”

Wei Lei followed behind him, with a smile in his eyes, it seemed that he had to work hard.

in.

After wiping his wife’s body, Wei Cheng carefully carried him back to the bedroom. The delivery room was connected to the bedroom, so he didn’t have to worry about catching the cold.

Zhou Yuan was tired and fell asleep in Wei Cheng’s arms.

The bedroom has heating pipes connected to the fireplace in the living room.

Wei Cheng gently put him on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and kissed his wife’s forehead lightly, then he didn’t leave immediately, but stood aside.

There is also a crib in the room, with soft quilts and soft dolls inside. There are cushions on all sides of the crib to prevent children from being hurt, and toys made of gum are hung above the crib.

Before the child was born, Wei Cheng prepared everything early. The rubber toys are all unique. These toys include small rattles, small things that can grind teeth, and various cute animals. Not only that, Wei Cheng also prepared a feeding bottle.

These novelty things have just been made, and everyone who sees them thinks they are very suitable for children. They are exquisite and practical.

Uncle Wei also saw a business opportunity, but was denied by Wei Cheng, and then said, it’s not that we don’t want to do it, but a limited amount of custom-made, just put a few sets of styles in Baizhen Building.

There are too many goods to make money, Wei Cheng doesn’t want to take out all of them, he only does fine work, not miscellaneous, miscellaneous is just too many things, too many things are hard to control, and he doesn’t want to lose his free time to spend with his wife just to make money.

Toys, puppets, and baby products are specially made by him for his baby.

It belongs to his baby.

The toys will also be put on sale on the day of his baby’s full moon.

It is only sold in Baizhen Building, not approved.

Zhou Yuan gave birth to a little brother and passed it back to Nanshan County.

People who got the news had different expressions.

The Zhou family was relieved when they heard that their elder brother gave birth safely, and they were mixed joys and sorrows about their elder brother giving birth to a younger brother.

Sister-in-law Zhou Lishi was also worried. Will his husband-in-law like Yuan brother’s son-in-law?

Second sister-in-law Zhou Yang’s heart is balanced, people don’t always have such good luck.

The third sister-in-law Zhou Li, who was taking care of the children in the room, always had a gentle smile on her lips, with complacency in her eyes.

Really gave birth to a little brother!

Wei family.

When Wei’s father and Wei mother got the news, Wei’s mother was very disgusted, and Wei’s father didn’t say anything.

Sister Wei was secretly delighted.

Wei Liang said, “Father and mother, the second sister-in-law has given birth, shall we go to Fucheng to have a look?”

I want to go, but I have more grandchildren and brothers, and the two elders are not happy at all.

Mrs. Wei was thinking about another thing.

The husband of the second brother gave birth to a brother. If the elder brother is pregnant with one child, it will be difficult to have a second child, or even if he cannot have one in his life, then no one will inherit the property of the second brother’s family. If she has another adoptive child, the second brother’s family If the property belongs to her son, then she will…

Sister-in-law Wei felt that this was feasible, and she was sincerely happy for Wei Cheng’s family to have a younger brother!

………

Zhou Qiu, Zhou Muzi and Wei Yuan’s family were all happy when they received the news!

Excited, he thought about going to Fucheng to see Zhou Yuan.

Fortunately, the two thought that the child’s full moon would definitely go there to congratulate her.

The most important thing is to prepare the full moon ceremony.

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi hurriedly got together to discuss, and Li Shuiqing also got together, the three of them discussed in whispers, and prepared a full moon gift for the younger brother.

The author has something to say:
