Chapter 364 Father and Son Reunion
For the merchants in the eight provinces who trade salt tea, Wu Wenxi is not only the Taoist steward who holds the power of Sichuan salt tea, but also the younger brother of Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang. Now, Guangdong bandits occupy Jiangning and Yangzhou, and the water transportation is blocked.
The salt transportation area was not in the Huguang citation area, which originally belonged to the Lianghuai Salt Transport Department, and the emperor issued an order to ask Sichuan to provide assistance.
In other words, this is to lead the lead from my younger brother and go to the salt farm to buy salt vendors to sell to my older brother! Huguang has so many people, you can imagine how big a deal this is.
Most of the people who trade Sichuan salt, Shanxi merchants, are similar to those who trade Huai salt, Anhui merchants. Now Sichuan salt can be sold to Huguang with legitimate reasons, so Huguang merchants naturally don’t want this piece of fat to be snatched away by Shanxi merchants.
So as soon as he knew that Wu Wenxi was coming to Ba County, he rushed to Chengdu to pick him up in front of the Shanxi merchants, and kept welcomed Wu Wenxi from Chengdu to the Huguang Guild Hall.
Mr. Chen has been very busy these days. Not only did he receive Wu Daotai well, but he also helped his fellow villagers to keep those who Wu Daotai didn't need to meet. But Wu Daotai not only has friends, but also family, but also
Chen Kechang simply asked the tea gangman Zhu Er to guard the outside of the guild hall with more than a dozen porters, as long as they saw all those unrelated merchants blocking them.
Duan Jiqing came to visit him a few times, but was stopped by Zhu Er, so he could only come back again and again with a disappointment.
It is worth mentioning that this was not only a despicable thing that Zhu Er had a grudge and intentional slut, but also acquiesced by Chen Kecheng. In Chen Kecheng's eyes, Duan Jiqing is no longer the military officer of the government office, especially as a supervisor and imperial censor.
After Gu Zhongzheng died, Duan Jiqing, who lost his backer, was a little businessman who got some tea and did a side tea business.
Duan Jiqing also knew this very well and had been enduring it, but today he didn't want to endure it anymore. He walked to the neighborhood of the guild and turned around and turned his eyes. Guan Ban nodded in understanding it, deliberately slowing down and following with Zhang Shiheng.
"Duan Jingcheng, why are you here again?" Before Duan Jiqing could speak, Zhu Er came up and smiled and said, "Mr. Wu is meeting the great master of Bishan County. When he meets the great master of Bishan County, he will meet several other masters. Don't believe it.
Look, there are seven or eight sedan chairs at the door. Please come back, Lord Wu really doesn’t have time to see you today.”
"Zhu Er, please let me talk to Lord Wu's family, and I'll bother Lord Wu's family to help inform me." Duan Jiqing begged, but his hands were not idle, so he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket.
Zhu Er looked at the Guan Bantou who followed the back, thinking that you have today, and hugged his arms and smiled: "Duan Jingcheng, I am just a errand and errand, not Lord Wu's family, how can I accept your door
Bag!"
"But your job is similar to Lord Wu's family now. Please help me and let me talk to Lord Wu's family."
"Duan Jingcheng, I'm sorry, I can't collect your money, and I can't help you with this."
"Then I can tell you to Mr. Zhang, a friend of Mr. Wu, that's okay?"
"No, Mr. Zhang is busy and he still has no time to see you."
"Can't be able to be at all?" Duan Jiqing asked with a bitter face.
"No." Zhu Er shook his head.
Duan Jiqing pretended to be disappointed, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and came forward and said, "Brother Zhu Er, I ask to see Mr. Zhang with something urgent."
"What urgent matter? Duan Jingcheng, don't joke. What urgent matter can you do if you quit your yamen? " Zhu Er asked with a little sarcastic question.
"I... I really have something urgent to do. Have you seen that young master is the son of Mr. Zhang's family. He came from Yizhen's hometown to find his father. You can't stop him from reuniting the father and son, right?"
Zhu Er looked in the direction of Duan Jiqing's finger and found that there was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old beside Guan Bantou. However, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a young master. He thought it must be a lie. After all, if Mr. Zhang really had a family to marry.
, he would not go to him first, and was thinking about how to drive them away, Chief Chen came over and said, "What's going on? Lord Wu is discussing affairs with several masters inside. You can't make a loud noise at the door!"
"Celebrity Chief Chen, I'm just seeing you. We didn't make a noise. I'm having something to do." Duan Jiqing bowed.
"What's the matter?" Chen Kechang asked in a low voice.
"Captain Chen, have you seen that? That is the son of Mr. Zhang's family. Didn't Yizhen be occupied by the thieves? He escaped for a long time and came to our Sichuan to find his father. Do you think this is an urgent matter?
?”
Mr. Chen hasn't gone out all the time over the years. He used to travel a lot. As a guest director of the Huguang Guild Hall, he was very informed. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Duan Jiqing talking with his nose and eyes.
Duan Jiqing asked with a bitter face: "Chen Kecheng, why are you laughing at?"
"I was amused by you."
"Why did I tease you?"
"Duan Jingcheng, you are not a lie at all," Chen Kechang also hugged his arms like Zhu Er, looked at Duan Jiqing with a smile and said, "Yi is really lost, Yangzhou is also lost, but according to
As I know, this time doesn’t match.”
"Why can't you match it?"
"You don't think about how far away the hometown of Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang's Mr. Zhang's hometown Yizhen is from us. Even if the waterway is not blocked, the young master of Mr. Zhang's family went out on the day Yizhen fell and rushed to Ba County.
Besides, even if he is fast, how could he know that Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang will come to Ba County? He must go to Chengdu first. It will take a few days to get from Chengdu here. This time is not enough. Do you think it is full of loopholes?"
"Chief Chen, why don't you believe me? When did I, Duan Jiqing, have deceived you?"
"I won't say this anymore. Besides, it's boring. Please come back. Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang really don't have time to see you today. When Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang are free, I will report it for you. Then let Zhu Er call you."
"You...it's fine if you stop me and don't let me in, but you don't even let me in. It's so outrageous!" Duan Jiqing pretended to be ashamed and angry as he rushed in and shouted at the top of his throat: "Mr. Wu, Lord Wu,"
, Mr. Wu, I'm sending you a message! Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, your Shiheng is coming from your hometown!"
"Shiheng, those turtle sons stop you from entering, call you dad!" Guan Bantou poked Zhang Shiheng's arm tacitly, and then shouted: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, your young master is here to find you!
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang…”
"Duan Jingcheng, what are you doing?" Chief Chen was anxious and was about to ask the porters to take him away. Zhang Shiheng, who had just reacted, immediately shouted: "Dad, Master Third, I, Shiheng! I'll do it!
We're looking for you! Dad, are you there? Dad, I'm Shiheng!"
I can't understand a single sentence, it sounds like an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Chen Kechang was stunned. Zhu Er did not dare to act rashly again, but he still stopped everyone from letting in. Duan Jiqing held back his smile and shouted: "Zhang Dejian, Zhang Dejian, your son Zhang Shiheng is here to find you..."
Zhang Dejian, who was busy settled the score, had heard the noise outside, but he was too focused and not too concerned about the score. He did not react until he heard the familiar local accent and heard Duan Jiqing calling his name. But he still felt like he was dreaming and could not believe his son.
Really found it.
But Wu Wenxi, who was sitting in the flower hall and talking to several magistrates, walked out of the guild hall first. Looking at Zhang Shiheng who was stopped by several porters, he asked in his hometown dialect: "Are you Shiheng?"
Zhang Shiheng met Wu Wenxi when he was a child. Wu Wenxi did not change much, so he recognized it at a glance and jumped up excitedly and said, "Third Master, Third Master, I am Shiheng, don't you remember me?"
"You have grown so tall. I only remember what you were like when you were a child. Come over and come over quickly. Tell me, why did you come here alone?"
"Master Three, I'm here to find my dad. By the way, this is the message that Master Six came to the front six asked me to send you." Zhang Shiheng hurriedly took out a letter from his close-fitting inner bag that Wu Wenming asked him to bring. After thinking about it,
I couldn't help asking: "Master Three, where is my dad?"
"Your dad is inside, Dejian, Dejian! Are you deaf? Your Shiheng is here to find you!" Wu Wenxi has been worried about the safety of his family these days, and he is really unable to sleep or eat. He turned around and shouted, then while
While opening the letter, he asked anxiously: "Shiheng, let me tell you first, when did you leave home? Did the bandits arrive at Yizhen when they came?"
"Report to Master San, when I left, the bandits were attacking Jiangning. You don't have to worry at home. Uncle Han had already asked the third son of Su Xiucai's family to send a letter to Master Six. When I left from my hometown, Master Six also said, how many will he do?
A lady and a young lady were sent to Taizhou. If it was not safe to send to Taizhou, Uncle Han would connect them to the corner and slanting field..."
Zhang Dejian rushed out of the guild hall and found that it was indeed his son. He was about to speak, but Wu Wenxi asked again: "Which Uncle Han?"
"Mr. San, what you know is inspector Han who has been the first in Chongqing Guild Hall in Beijing. However, after Mr. Duan said that Uncle Han led a thousand township heroes to win a big victory in Wanfu Bridge after we left.
I was granted the fifth-rank top belt for Uncle Han, and I specially appointed Uncle Han as the deputy envoy of Lianghuai Salt Transport Department."
"Dongweng, Shiheng must be talking about Han Zhixing, we have seen him when we were in the capital." Zhang Dejian reminded with excitement.
"Oh, I remembered it." Wu Wenxiu realized that the father and son were going to reunite, so he looked at the Xin and said, "Go in first, let's talk about it later."
"dad!"
"Sheng, it's my son, you...you are so tall. If you can't see you again, I can't remember what you are like." Zhang Dejian could no longer control his excitement and hugged his son's tears.
Zongheng.
Duan Jiqing didn't know if he really remembered his son-in-law who was an official in Jiangsu or pretended to behave. Anyway, he was moved by this situation. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Chen Kecheng, Zhu Er, have you seen it? It's really Mr. Zhang's family.
Young Master, you not only don’t believe it, but you also won’t let us in!”
Chen Kechang recovered from his senses and realized that Duan Jiqing was deceived. He hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhang forgives his crime, Mr. Zhang forgives his crime, he has no eyes, but I really don't know that this is your son."
"Those who don't know are not guilty." Zhang Dejian and his son were reunited, and they didn't care about these things. They hugged their son and turned around and said, "Brother Duan, come in, come in and say something if you have something to come in."
