…
Immediately, Wang Shouzhe also went up to greet him, cupped his hands and said: "I am Wang Shouzhe, the patriarch of the Ping'an Wang clan, and I have met the patriarch Xiaorui."
It stands to reason that Wang Xiaorui is the elder of the Xiaozi generation.
But at this time, after all, the two sides meet as patriarchs, so naturally they should abide by the rules between the family. What's more, the blood relationship between Patriarch Xiaorui and him is quite far away.
It's different from those relative uncles, grandfathers and the like.
The two sides naturally greeted each other.
Afterwards, Patriarch Longyan, Patriarch Xuanfu, and the other elders at the Lingtai Realm all greeted each other.
Especially the ancestor Longyan, who is a woman of the Long character generation, has a higher seniority. Among the elders in the Lingtai Realm, it is because the elders of the Yuzi generation are of the same seniority as the ancestors of Longyan.
That elder was called Wang Yuchen, and the Longzuo Wang family called him Patriarch Yuchen. He is now in his 150s, much older than Patriarch Longyan.
He looked very old, and I'm afraid he still had ten or twenty years of lifespan at most.
A monk in the Lingtai Realm can enjoy two hundred years of lifespan, but not every Lingtai Realm can live to two hundred years old.
It depends on the age of promotion, whether there are any unhealed wounds, or even blood and long-term health factors, etc.
Most of the Lingtai mirrors died at the age of one hundred and seventy or eighty. Those who can live to two hundred, or in the early two hundred are considered super long-lived.
When he saw the ancestor of Longyan, he trembled all over, and his eyes were filled with guilt: "Cousin Longyan, we haven't seen each other for 60 years in a blink of an eye. Sigh... it's my cousin who is sorry for you. I didn't do it back then." Helped so much."
He sighed deeply, obviously regretting what had happened in the past sixty years.
"Cousin Yuchen." Ancestor Longyan said calmly, "All of this is doomed. I think the Longzuo Wang family helped us enough. Back then, cousin Yuchen also followed Ancestor Zhou Bo, Long Yan is extremely grateful for going and running for us together."
When Patriarch Longyan was in the academy, he would often go to Longzuo Wang's family to stay for a while, so he had a close relationship with Patriarch Yuchen.
Instead, it was Patriarch Xuanfu, although she was also the granddaughter of Patriarch Zhouxuan, but her surname was Liu after all, so she was a little less close to the Longzuo Wang family.
But she is now the core disciple of the academy. Naturally, the Longzuo Wang family also respected her, and they meant to be close to her both in and out of their words.
After such a group of elders saluted, but the juniors stepped forward to salute one by one.
This is the case among families.
It took half an hour just to greet and exchange greetings.
At this time, Wang Xiaorui started to stop and said: "Patriarch Longyan, patriarch Shouzhe, this is not a place to talk, please follow me into the city first."
"In this way, there will be Patriarch Lao Xiaorui." Wang Shouzhe bowed his hands and saluted.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Wang Xiaorui, the members of the Wang family went inward from the VIP gate in Longzuo County. A dozen or so carriages passed through the VIP passage one by one without even checking.
The Xuanwu warriors and soldiers guarding the city remained respectful and polite throughout the process.
"You guys have worked hard." Wang Xiaorui cupped his hands slightly. Then an elder stepped forward and secretly gave them some hard work.
After the convoy leaves.
A young soldier who had just taken office asked, "Boss, which family was that just now? The pomp and circumstance is not small, there are actually a group of monks and elders at the Lingtai stage."
The elder Lingtai general said: "That is the Longzuo Wang family, an old family of heaven and man. It is said that in our Longzuo County, it has a history of more than a thousand years."
"A thousand years?" The young soldier said in shock, "My dear, this is almost as long as more than half of our Longzuo County's history."
"That's right, the Longzuo Wang family back then was a famous Zifu family, full of limelight." The Lingtai general said, "It's a pity that their ancestors who founded the mountain died after their 800-year birthday was exhausted. In a few years, the change of the purple mansion has not been completed, so it will gradually decline."
"Recent decades ago, the Longzuo Wang Clan almost failed to complete the alternation of heaven and man. Fortunately, in thirty-five years, their Zhou Bo ancestor succeeded in breaking through, so that the family of heaven and man can continue."
"The ancestor Zhou Bo is only around two hundred years old now, but he can at least keep the Longzuo Wang family safe for more than a hundred years. As long as the alternation between heaven and man can be completed again, if there is no accident, this family can continue forever. Therefore , be more polite next time you meet them."
"Understood, boss, I really envy these celestial families." The young soldier was obviously born in an ordinary Lingtai family. It is just looking up to the family of heaven and man.
Along with the low-pitched discussions of the city guards.
Wang Shouzhe and the others finally entered Longzuo County.
From the outside, Longzuo County is already a giant. Only after being in it did I realize that this is an outrageously huge city. The large bluestone pavement road behind the city gate is even tens of feet wide enough for twenty or thirty horse-drawn carriages to run side by side.
Moreover, the rules in Longzuo County are quite strict, the center of the avenue is only for the family of heaven and man or the family of Zifu, if you walk carelessly without the relevant token, it will be a serious crime if you are caught by the city defense army.
On both sides of the road, there are markets, restaurants, and various shops and vendors, and further inside are residential houses.
Those who can live in Longzuo County, even civilians, at least have good craftsmanship. Otherwise, it would be difficult to gain a firm foothold in the expensive Longzuo County.
Going further inside, there are the main houses or other courtyards of some Xuanwu families of the eighth rank and the ninth rank. There are also a large number of shops here, operating various businesses and businesses.
Wang Shouzhe and his party, several young people watched with great interest, as if they had entered a new world.
Only Wang Lici was not interested in anything else. Instead, he stared wide-eyed and searched all over the street for something delicious.
Seeing some roadside stalls with special delicacies, or restaurants and food courts, she couldn't help swallowing secretly.
If it weren't for Wang Shouzhe's warnings and instructions before entering the city, she would have jumped off to eat.
"Listen to fourth uncle, listen to fourth uncle, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble." Wang Lici frantically hinted to himself. Fourth Uncle promised her that after visiting the Longzuo Wang family, he would stay in Longzuo County for a few days, and Fourth Uncle would take care of whatever delicious food she wanted.
Everything in the city of Longzuo County is full of freshness to most people in the Wang family.
On the other hand, Wang Shouzhe rode his horse, Huotaobaiyun, riding side by side with Wang Xiaorui, listening to Wang Xiaorui talking with him, introducing various customs, and found it very interesting.
But he pays more attention to some business opportunities, such as cloth shops, spiritual seed shops and so on. Anything that is available in the entire Longzuo County can basically be bought in this county.
It is a huge economic center, commercial center, and political center. In remote places, it is rare to see monks at the Lingtai stage. I dare not say that you can see them everywhere in Longzuo County, but you can catch a glimpse of one after a while.
And it has a lot of shops.
In the cloth shop alone, I met four or five along the way. Maybe the silk sold in a certain cloth workshop was the raw material produced by Wang's silkworm farm, and processed by Xu's in Changning.
In the middle of the avenue, the speed of the carriage is not slow.
But even so, it took nearly an hour before they arrived at the main residence of the Longzuo Wang family.
The main house is magnificent and occupies a huge area. The tallest attic is tens of feet high, and the buildings around it are also very tall.
Either it is the headquarters of a certain chamber of commerce, or it is a certain Zifu family.
Even the capital of Longzuo County is not far away.
Therefore, this area belongs to the core area of Longzuo County, and ordinary civilians cannot enter without a special pass.
"Patriarch Shouzhe, how about our main house of the Wang family?" Patriarch Wang Xiaorui looked a little proud.
"It is indeed the main house of a thousand-year-old family." Wang Shouzhe also said with emotion, "I have heard of that attic a long time ago. Our family's famous Lingyun Building, right? I heard that our Hongtian ancestors spent the last two hundred years They all live in Lingyun Tower."
The ancestor of Hongtian was the common ancestor of the Longzuo Wang family and the Ping'an Wang family.
And Wang Shouzhe's two consecutive us also made Wang Xiaorui feel a lot closer. He said with emotion: "The old ancestor built the Lingyun Tower because Lingyun stepped on the void. It's a pity that the old ancestor didn't step out of that place until the end." One step. This building is also to be vigilant to future generations, don't forget the meaning of being brave and diligent. It is us descendants who have failed the expectations of our ancestors. The fate of the family is going from bad to worse, and the alternation of heaven and man has almost not been completed."
After speaking, he smiled again: "Patriarch Shouzhe, don't take these complaints to heart. Let's go, you and I will go home together."
Say it.
Under the guidance of Wang Xiaorui, everyone stepped into Wang's main residence.
It really deserves to be a thousand-year-old family. Every plant, every tree, every brick, every tile, every pavilion and every courtyard exudes a strong historical heritage, ancient and profound. It covers a very large area. According to Wang Xiaorui's introduction, there are hundreds of courtyards alone, and two to three thousand rooms for handyman's rooms.
The main residence of Ping'an Wang's family was enlarged when it was built. But compared with Longzuo's main house, it's probably only one-third the size.
"Patriarch Shouzhe, I have prepared more than a dozen sets of courtyards. We are all descendants of the Wang family, so don't be too polite. You are tired after a long journey, so let's rest for a while. In the evening, I will greet you in the Yinglong Pavilion Wash the dust." Wang Xiaorui has already arranged everything, and said in an orderly manner, "I will take you all to meet Zhou Bo Patriarch tomorrow morning. Does Patriarch Shouzhe have any other opinions on such an arrangement?"
"Patriarch Xiaorui's arrangements have been extremely auspicious. In this way, there will be patriarch Lao Xiaorui." When we got to the land, we naturally listened to their arrangements. Naturally, Wang Shouzhe would not overstep at will.
Then it was a period of check-in, washing, resting, and washing away the dust all the way.
In the evening, some members of the Wang clan came and invited Wang Shouzhe and the others to Yinglong Pavilion.
Yinglong Pavilion.
It is the place where the Wang family of Longzuo entertained distinguished guests.
This time they also entertained top-notch, all kinds of delicacies, countless. Wang Shouzhe has never seen many varieties, and some dishes have never even heard of them.
Spirit wine and spirit tea are also open for supply.
It is very obvious that the reputation of a certain foodie has already reached the ears of Longzuo Wang.
They simply bought a whole spirit-horned yak and made a whole-ox feast, half of which was given to Wang Lici.
Wang Lici was very satisfied with this meal and called it enjoyable.
Even with mental preparation, Wang Lici was still quite shocked when he saw that after eating half a head of spirit-horned yak, he also ate a whole bucket of amethyst rice.
This girl's appetite is really good.
It was not easy for Pingan Wang to raise her.
However, the Wang family also presented a gift list at the same time, all of which were some high-quality spiritual meat, including third-order spiritual meat and other precious spiritual meat. This gift list is not light, and the total amount exceeds 10,000 dry gold.
It made Wang Xiaorui push back and forth again and again, and finally accepted it reluctantly.
Then several core elders, Patriarch Wang Xiaorui, and Wang Shouzhe and other core figures began drinking tea and chatting about gossip.
Wang Xiaorui, as the head of the Celestial Family, is also a well-informed and well-rounded person. Casually talking about some anecdotes about Longzuo County made everyone feel quite interesting, as if they were actually there.
After three cups of tea.
Wang Xiaorui's expression became slightly serious, and he cupped his hands slightly to Wang Shouzhe and said, "Patriarch Shouzhe took care of my grandson Shouyue, Shouyue has been told in the letter one by one, he contacted Donggang Chen and Tantai young master I went up and received a warm reception, and won a huge share of foreign goods for the family. On behalf of the Longzuo Wang family, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Patriarch Shouzhe."
"Patriarch Xiaorui is too polite." Wang Shouzhe returned the salute with a smile, "The patriarch said just now that we are a family. Such trivial matters are nothing to worry about."
Those so-called "foreign goods" were originally produced by Wang Shouzhe in cooperation with several companies. Who are they selling to
Since the Longzuo Wang family has this demand, they can naturally give priority to supply. However, he will not reveal the secret that he is the big boss behind the scenes.
"The small things in the eyes of Patriarch Shouzhe are of great benefit to the Wang family of Longzuo." Wang Xiaorui said with emotion, "Patriarch Shouzhe doesn't know that there is fierce competition in the city of Longzuo County, and it is not easy to do anything. "
"Everyone is a family. To be honest, we are relying on the pavements left by our ancestors and the few remaining farms to barely maintain the current situation. Now that we have the trade of foreign goods, our burden can be greatly eased." Financial difficulties. Patriarch Shouzhe, there is one more thing..." Wang Xiaorui was slightly embarrassed when he spoke.
"The patriarch means the No. 9 rice seed of the Wang family?" Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "It's just that I have made preparations. The Qian's business will come later, and the patriarch just needs to receive it. This batch of rice seeds is about 10,000 tan, 50,000 mu of fertile land, I don’t know if it’s enough.”
Wang Xiaorui's spirit was lifted, and he immediately said: "Enough, enough. Our own fertile land is only 30,000 mu. Patriarch Shouzhe, I heard that the price of each load of Wang's No. 9 rice is about 18 About copper. The shipping fee is converted into two thousand gold, please accept it from the patriarch, don't refuse."
Wang Shouzhe declined twice, then accepted.
The gift list belongs to the gift list, and the business belongs to business.
Since this Wang Xiaorui is also a sensible person who knows the boundaries very clearly, Wang Shouzhe is not afraid to cooperate with him again.
As he said that, he looked around and said seriously: "Clan Chief Xiaorui, since we are a family, please forgive me. Our Longzuo Wang Clan obviously has a big golden doll, why don't we make good use of it?"
Wang Xiaorui's eyes lit up immediately and he said: "Clan Chief Shou Zhe has been able to raise the Ping'an Wang Clan in a short period of time. He must have excellent vision. Please teach me Shou Zhe!"
