After three days of vigil, Mr. Wang can leave the mourning hall first, and there is no need to guard Wang Yi's coffin day and night.

He is now the head of the family and the backbone of the family. During the three days of the wake, there are actually many things that Wang Sheng needs to deal with. One of them is to deal with the inheritance Wang Yi left for him.

The ancient wake was not easy. Even though Wang Sheng didn't have much affection for this cheap old man, he still lost weight in three days, and the plain clothes he wore before seemed empty.

Wang Sheng is sixteen years old and is about 1.6 meters tall. In this era, that is, a height of 6 feet 5 inches, which is relatively tall among his peers. However, because he does not exercise regularly, he looks a little thin. Even though Wang Sheng

Without wearing Confucian clothes, others would probably think Wang Sheng was a scholar if they looked at his thin skin and tender flesh.

Of course, the most haggard person in the Wang family now is not Wang Sheng, but Mr. Zhang.

Zhang and Wang Yi have always been on the same page, and the husband and wife are harmonious. Now that Wang Yi's soul has returned to Taishan Mansion, she is naturally the most saddened.

Her clothes were getting wider and she looked haggard. Zhang was originally weak, but after three days of vigil, she became even thinner, as if a gust of wind could blow her over. This made Wang Sheng feel a little distressed.

Of course, the little Loli is not having an easy time. She suddenly lost her father's love. In addition, Mrs. Zhang is also depressed now. She has too much time to take care of herself. Naturally, it is difficult to take care of the little Loli. The little Loli is not very active at a young age. Although Wang Sheng

I intentionally teased her, but after all, she is not the girl she was before.

However, children are always changeable. I believe that in a few days, after Wang Yi is buried, everything will change.

Wang Sheng sighed and walked slowly out of the mourning hall, followed by a young man who looked like a waiter. According to Zhang's introduction, Wang Sheng also knew that he was the person who worked for Wang Yi's shop, named Laifu.

In fact, Wang Yi is not an ordinary citizen in Luoyang. He owns 20 acres of land in the western suburbs of Luoyang, a wine shop in Dahuoli, and a cloth shop that was destroyed by fire.

The combined value of these three properties is actually far more than a hundred gold. It is no wonder that Huang Lian, Wang Yi's business partner during his lifetime, has the confidence to repay Wang Sheng's debt. If nothing happens, Wang Yi can also spend a hundred gold.

Comes with huge sums of money.

Unfortunately, all this was destroyed by a fire.

Among the three industries, the most valuable one is naturally the cloth shop. Due to the chaos of currency in this era, bartering is actually more frequent than using money, and silk is often used as an attribute of currency.

To put it bluntly, cloth shops can basically be said to be money shops in later generations.

A fire destroyed the cloth shop and burned the silks inside. It would be fine if it only burned some silks. On the day of the fire in the cloth shop, Wang Yi entered a cart of Sichuan brocade. This is the most important thing.

Deadly stuff.

An inch of Shu brocade is worth an inch of gold, and a cart of Shu brocade was burned. This was the reason for Wang Yi's collapse.

Moreover, Wang Yi owed more than the hundred gold from Jia Xu. After Wang Sheng looked at the account book, he found that in addition to the hundred gold he owed to Yanchun Tower, he also owed three hundred gold to "Jiayuju".

After Laifu's introduction, Wang Sheng learned that Jiayuju was Huang Lian's property.

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Huang Lian valued him and would not collect the debt, but he could not refuse to pay it back. Plus Jia Xu's one hundred gold, this meant that Wang Sheng had to earn a lot of money in a short time.

The money comes from four hundred gold.

Four hundred gold is enough for a farmer to live for two lifetimes.

Wang Sheng rubbed his sore eyes, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Although Wang Sheng claimed that he was a time traveler, in his previous life he had only focused on his studies and had not done any business. Suddenly he had to make four hundred gold, and Wang Sheng still felt a little stressed.

In addition, the account book was full of entries here and there, and was as densely packed as tadpoles twisted into a ball. It really gave Wang Sheng a headache. However, in order to understand his current situation, Wang Sheng still had to read it.

After reading two thick account books, Wang Sheng also had a general understanding of his current situation.

First of all, Wang Sheng has 20 acres of land in the western suburbs of Luoyang. These lands are cultivated by two families, and his usual income is basically negligible. Secondly, Wang Sheng also has a wine shop in Dahuo, which is of reasonable scale.

, there are two servants, Laifu is just one of them, and there is another one who is Wang Sheng's tenant, called Tiezhu.

The gross profit of the wine shop in a month is almost 30,000 yuan, which is three gold, which is a considerable income, but it is far from enough to pay off Wang Sheng's debt. Three gold in a month, this wine shop has to pay off the debt.

It would take more than ten years. At that time, all the dishes were cold.

As for the cloth shop, it is now in ruins. It will cost Wang Sheng even to clean it up, so we won't consider it for the time being.

The working capital in Wang Sheng's hand was only more than ten gold coins given to him by Zhang. With this small amount of money, Wang Sheng could not find a place to make money for a while.

If it were in the Western Han Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, Wang Sheng would definitely study obediently and not touch the ways of merchants.

In some dynasties, businessmen's status was at the bottom of society. If a scholar went into business, he would be scorned. In the future, let alone politics, he would be looked down upon on the street.

Fortunately, although the Wei and Jin Dynasties still emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, due to the popularity of celebrities and the huge expenses, ordinary celebrities had their own industries and would not care whether you were in business. This was why Wang Sheng dared to interfere with merchants.

The reason for the matter.

Wang Sheng first sorted out an idea in his mind. He happened to have a wine shop at home, so he might as well make strong wine. I wonder if he would become rich like other time travellers, hook up with a few historical celebrities, and directly enter the official career...

....

Wang Sheng shook his head fiercely and threw away the miscellaneous thoughts.

Forget it, it’s useless to think about this now, let’s bury Wang Yi first!

Just when Wang Sheng was about to send Laifu out, Wang Sheng suddenly noticed several problems.

Why did this cloth shop catch fire? Also, although Wang Yi owed a debt of 400 gold, he was not necessarily unable to pay it back. With Wang Yi's connections, there was no need for him to commit suicide by drowning himself in the river. What was the reason?

Which led him to choose to commit suicide by drowning himself in a river without leaving a single last word?

Wang Sheng suddenly had a few more questions in his mind. Looking at the obedient Laifu in front of him, Wang Sheng also asked them.

"What caused the fire in the store?"

When Wang Sheng asked Laifu, he seemed even more restrained, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"On a dry summer night, the kitten knocked over the oil lamp, and the shopkeeper was not in the store, so there was no one to look after it, so a fire broke out."

kitten?

Oil lamp?

Wang Sheng became increasingly suspicious.

"Is there a cat in the store?"

When Laifu was asked again by Wang Sheng, he became even more restrained, and his words came out one by one.

"There are the most wild cats in Dahuo. Maybe they got in because they were catching mice."

Wang Sheng nodded. Seeing that Laifu was so restrained, he didn't want to force him anymore. In addition, Wang Yi had not been buried yet. Even if Wang Sheng was confused, he could only wait until Wang Yi was buried before making a decision.

"Laifu, don't be restrained when you see me next time, go down."

"Yes, sir."
