Chapter 31: Having a Son Has to Go Through the Back Door
Wang Anran wanted to find Zheng Conghu, but it was too late at this time, and it was not convenient to find someone to do business now, so he had to wait for tomorrow. He admired the sea of lavender flowers by the wasteland and returned to the village.
Before I could enter the house, I saw a lot of villagers surrounded outside my yard. Almost all the villagers in the entire village came. I couldn't stand in the yard and stood outside.
The children couldn't squeeze in, and they all stood outside the crowd and were playing and laughing. When they saw Wang Anran coming back, they shouted, "My son is back, son is back!"
Wang Anran was furious and shouted: "Bastard, why are you talking nonsense? You dare to scream again, be careful I will strip your pants and let you run around the village with your bare ass!"
The children scattered. As soon as Wang Anran got off the horse, he saw another little child running over. This little child was the one who beat the slower than others in everything. The little child bent his calves, ran to Wang Anran, and shouted, "Son, my son is back!" He couldn't even explain clearly, so he wanted to take advantage of others.
Wang Anran said qiyly: "Look at me not to strip your pants, you... forget it, let me spare you for a while today!" It was not that he had a kind attack, but that this little child was wearing open-crotch pants, showing his butt all day long, what's the point of not stripping him!
As soon as the children shouted, the villagers turned around and saw Wang Anran. Some villagers were anxious and trotted over and shouted: "Brother Anran, no, it's Captain Wang. You've been back and we've all been anxious!"
Wang Anran said, "You are so anxious? I think you are alive. Don't you live well? You should say, hurry up and get the word "quick!" He recognized that this impatient guy was the brother of a little child wearing open-crotch pants.
The impatient villager said, "Yes, I need to add the word "quick". Captain Wang, is there a treasure that specializes in giving birth to a son in the Golden Light Temple true or not? If I ask, can I ask for a son to come out?"
Before Wang Anran could answer him, other villagers shouted, "You have not gotten married yet, don't even have a wife. You beg for a son, you gave birth to yourself, where did you give birth to?"
Another villager smiled and said, "Where did you say anything? You just asked for a son who is the son who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one
The villagers laughed loudly and surrounded Wang Anran, asking about having a son.
Wang Anran said, "It's effective. Three days later, well, you'll know in two days. Don't ask me in advance. Besides, I'm asking for a son to give me money only after I ask for my son. I don't have to give it to you first. Even if it doesn't work, you won't lose anything. What's there to worry about?"
He squeezed into the crowd and entered his own courtyard. He saw that all the four great kings were back. Shen Dayao was also in the courtyard, talking to Wang Duosun.
When Wang Duosun pointed to the tea bowl, Ma Jingang immediately picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of tea. Bao Jingang picked up the tea bowl and held it to Wang Duosun in both hands. Wang Duosun looked satisfied. Under the sunset, his expression was like a blooming rainbow, and like the flowers in full bloom. He was so proud that he couldn't be more proud.
Seeing Wang Anran come back, the four great Vajras stood up together and said respectfully: "Brother Anran, you are back!" His attitude was ten times more respectful than when he went out this morning, and more respectful than when he treated Shen Lizheng.
Wang Anran glanced at the four of them and said strangely: "Why are you back so soon? Didn't I ask you to rush back when you close the city gate? According to the course, you should have just left the city. You are still on the road now. You are lazy!"
The Four Great Vajras said hurriedly: "If you don't leave early, you really can't leave anymore. There are too many people, and they almost squeezed us into meat pies!"
Shen Dayao also said, "They are not lazy. I can testify. As soon as they entered the city, they shouted a few times and surrounded them. I don't have to go to the city anymore tomorrow. Just go to the nearby villages. The news has spread."
Wang Anran nodded and said, "That's fine, as long as the news spreads, I see that everyone in our village will know." After that, he laughed, even the children knew about their son.
The villagers all looked at Shen Dayao, and it seemed that they wanted him to say something.
Shen Dayao lived up to the expectations of the public, cleared his throat first and said, "Anran, it was the host of Jinshan Temple who asked you to help promote it, otherwise the people from our village would not be able to use it."
This is easy to guess. Wang Anran said: "Yes, it was the head of Zhishan who asked me to help him with this matter. He also recognized me as his senior brother, but I didn't want to be his senior brother. He insisted on begging him hard and still kneeled in front of me..."
Before he could finish his cowhide, Wang Duosun and Feng shouted at the same time. Feng shouted: "Son, you can't become a monk. Our old Wang family is the only one who seedling!"
Wang Duosun also shouted: "Anran, if you become a monk, I will not be able to have more grandchildren!"
The couple definitely don’t want Wang Anran to become a monk. If Zhishan insists on worshiping their son as a senior brother, they will be forced to make them anxious. If an honest man makes up his mind, he can do anything, and Wang Duosun can burn the Golden Light Temple.
Wang Anran smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father, I didn't agree to him. I didn't think of becoming a monk. However, I promised him to revive Jinshan Temple."
Wang Duosun and Feng felt relieved, just not being a monk. Feng thought for a while, and then said worriedly: "You don't want to be a Taoist priest, right?"
"If you don't do it, don't do it, mom, don't worry." Wang Anran quickly comforted his mother.
Shen Dayaoqi said, "The host actually asks you to revitalize the temple. This is beyond my expectations." After a pause, he glanced at the villagers watching, and said, "No matter why, the host just asks you. Anran, ask the host, can we wait for the treasure to be consecrated, let the people in our village stand in front and absorb some of the treasure's spiritual energy first?"
It turned out that he wanted to go through the back door. Wang Anran slapped his chest and said, "Absolutely, there is no problem at all. The people in our village can not only stand in front, but after the consecration is completed, they can also ask the Bodhisattva for blessing first. Whoever asks for the benefit first will take advantage, otherwise there will be too many people, and they are afraid that the Bodhisattva will not be busy."
The villagers were overjoyed and expressed great gratitude to Wang Anran. The thanks were surging and shocked. Wang Anran was not doing anything, but Wang Duosun was intoxicated and wanted to say something and introduce his own way of educating his son for everyone to learn and observe. However, because there were too few words in his stomach, he couldn't hold it out for a long time, but he had the idea of going to the thatched cottage.
The villagers surrounded the villagers for a long time, and it was already dark, and then gradually dissipated. Now I heard that there was a treasure that could give birth to a son and I was successful in the back door. Then every household had to go home quickly to do business. I had to have a child first so that the child must be a son!
Seeing that Wang Anran was a little tired and had no idea to cook in person, Shen Dayao did not keep it for free and went back to his home. The four great Vajras were about to leave, but Wang Anran changed his mind and told them not to go to various villages tomorrow, so they simply went to Jinguang Temple to help Zhishan maintain order. The people would definitely ask a lot of people to go to Jinguang Temple to ask, for fear that Zhishan and Leran would not be too busy.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Wang Anran had breakfast and rode his horse to the side wall. He planned to ask Zheng Conghu for help to pick lavender for him.
Wang Anran had already made plans in his mind. It would be difficult for him to do the essential oil business alone. Look at him who has been busy for so long and the market has not yet opened. Even if the market is opened, the business will definitely make money. Wouldn't it be jealous? So it would be better to let Zheng Conghu invest in the shares and make money together. With the military background, everything will be easier to do.
We ran all the way to the side wall. The construction method of Liangzhou's side wall is basically the same as that of the Great Wall. There are also beacon towers and the city gates are built equally strong. However, due to the strong military power of the Tang Dynasty, the local military camps stationed in the local army were not located inside the pass, but outside the pass. Don't think that it is a trivial matter to build the military camp inside the pass or outside the pass. This directly reflects whether the Tang army takes the initiative or passive defense, the strength of the national strength, and the dignity of the heavenly dynasty are clearly expressed in this regard.
It is easy to get out of the customs at the border of Liangzhou, but it is difficult to get into the customs. You have to pay taxes when you go to the customs. However, because there are a series of prefectures and counties going west, there are special taxes, so you don’t have to pay taxes when you leave Liangzhou. Of course, it’s only temporary. One day, the governor is short of money, and now a checkpoint is set up, and businessmen have to pay the same.
Wang Anran rode a horse to the soldiers guarding the pass and asked Zheng Conghu where his military camp was located. This was actually a military secret, but he asked casually, and the soldiers answered casually without taking the military secret at all.
He rode his horse slowly through the city gate. As soon as he came out, Wang Anran shouted and saw countless caravans outside the city gate at the entrance. People shouted, horses neighed, camels screamed, and the scene was quite shocking!
At the front of the crowd, which is close to the city gate, there were dozens of soldiers standing with swords and guns. In front of the soldiers' queues, there were a row of small tables. A dozen clerks were sitting on Hu benches and were handling the entry procedures for merchants.
Wang Anran looked at the merchants and saw that almost all the merchants were full of anxiety, squatting or sitting, and there were thousands of people in line. If we included the camels they brought, at first glance, there was no place to settle within a mile.
Wang Anran jumped off his horse, pulled over a merchant, and asked, "You all went to Liangzhou? I didn't see such a caravan in Liangzhou in the past!"
The merchant spoke in a strange accent and said, "If you want to go to the Central Plains, you have to go to Liangzhou Pass, but if you enter the pass, you may not have to go to Liangzhou City!"
Wang Anran said, "I was so stupid that I asked. I thought I would go to Liangzhou City after entering this Liangzhou Pass!"
He looked at the caravans waiting to enter the customs and saw many people eating dry food, and some vendors in the crowd were carrying baskets on shoulder poles and selling food to merchants.
However, there is no restaurant in the entire place, and there is not even a roadside stall with straw sheds.
Wang Anran suddenly shouted: "This is a huge business opportunity. It makes money much faster than essential oils. Now I'm going to get rich!"
Chapter completed!
