- If the outside of Hangzhou is a contemporary Ukiyoyo painting of hell, then when you enter Hangzhou, you will find that the city is simply like heaven.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you are greeted by various signboards and the flags of numerous cloth companies. Although this was in ancient times, businessmen still used various creative methods to promote themselves and attract customers.
People living in the city are not moved by the misery outside the city at all.
In their view, that kind of thing is still far away from them.
Why should I worry about such things?
¡° Anyway, even if it¡¯s a headache, it should be a matter for the prefect or the big shots in the court.
Businessmen like them have little to do with the common people.
As the saying goes, don¡¯t worry about things that don¡¯t concern you. This mentality is very popular in the East.
Even in the future, ordinary people will basically follow this ancient and conservative rule in their lives.
This kind of mentality can be said to have penetrated deeply into the bone marrow of the Chinese people.
Master Wang led the mule and walked slowly down the street.
Feeling a completely different scene from outside the city.
There are rows of two- and three-story pavilions on both sides of the street, and there are many restaurants, shops, rice stores, and pawnshops.
However, Master Wang had no intention of admiring the street scene, so he just watched it for a while, then got on his mule and drove towards the west of the city.
The wealthy businessmen and wealthy people in Hangzhou generally live in the east.
Some officials in the city almost live here.
Only the west and east of the city are where ordinary people live, while the south of the city is where the poor in Hangzhou live.
No matter what era or time and space it is, the poor class is a class that cannot be eliminated, especially in the seventeenth century.
Mrs. Wang¡¯s family lives in the west of the city.
He didn¡¯t let his family live in the slums just for insurance, because it was completely unnecessary.
Anyway, as long as the wealth is not exposed, it will be fine.
It is safest to live as an ordinary person.
He spent a lot of money to buy that road guide. As long as he had money, there was nothing he couldn't get here in the Ming Dynasty.
Because he got a rough idea at the city gate, Mrs. Wang now has an idea in mind.
It seems that if you want to buy some maids and servants, you can do it here without going to Yangzhou.
There are so many refugees, as long as you have money to take care of the food, you don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to recruit people.
And the news here needs to be reported to His Highness the Crown Prince when he returns. It is also necessary for His Highness to understand the situation here. After all, his wife, the Prince, is also a subject of the Song Empire. He must contribute some efforts to the Song Empire.
What's more, Mrs. Wang has a deeper plan, which is to stay with the crown prince or in the army, receive a monthly salary and make some friends at the same time, paving the way for her children's future in America.
Of course, the main thing is his son.
¡°At the same time, I also want to see if I can find a suitable young man for my daughter.
¡°If there is any good candidate, Master Wang doesn¡¯t have one yet.
"However, Master Wang knew that if he wanted to find it, he had to look for it among the cronies around the Crown Prince.
This is a good opportunity.
God knows if these cronies will be reused when the crown prince ascends the throne.
Once he is reused, the Wang family will become prosperous.
It¡¯s not surprising that Master Wang has such thoughts, after all, this is how Eastern people think.
Even in the future, not much will change.
After passing through the bustling commercial district of Hangzhou, Master Wang finally arrived at Maochangxing Street in the west of the city on his mule.
Maochanghang is a rice shop that also operates a pawnshop and a gold shop. It can be said to be a relatively large business.
The reason why we opened in the west of the city is because the business philosophy of the boss of Maochangxing is different from that of ordinary businesses.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Other people gather in commercial districts where every inch of land is fought for, and competition there is fierce.
But Maochangxing was different. They went in the opposite direction, avoiding the bustling commercial district and opening a shop in the west of the city.
The land price here is not high, much lower than that in the commercial street, so you can save a lot of money.
At the same time, although ordinary people live in the west of the city,But they still have spending power. In fact, accumulating a little to make a lot is not necessarily less than making a big deal on the commercial street.
From this we can see that the owner of Maochangxing is a smart man with a very vicious vision.
At the same time, he opened a pawn shop here, and from time to time he would collect the pawns at low prices and sell them at high prices.
The profit in hand cannot be underestimated.
But in this era, doing this kind of business is really normal.
Who is not involved with people in the prefecture?
I heard that the third son of Maochang¡¯s family is working as a team leader in the government office in the city. He is in charge of criminal cases such as rape and crime. Sois the trivial matter of collecting dirty laundry still considered a big deal?
Seeing the big signboard of Maochangxing and the flag swinging in the wind, Mrs. Wang¡¯s heart began to beat faster and faster involuntarily.
shelf!
Mrs. Wang squeezed the mule between her legs, urging the green mule under her crotch to speed up its hooves.
Counting along Maochang Row, Master Wang stopped at the door of the fifth house.
In this street, all the buildings, except Maochangxing, are clusters of houses built on loess.
So, Master Wang stopped at this house, which was also a building like this.
The loess wall, which is as high as one person, blocks the view, and there are many gaps in the broken wooden door.
Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, lowered her head and straightened her gown, then walked over with her head held high.
Peng Peng Peng!
There is no iron ring on the door. It is something only found on the doors of wealthy families. Ordinary people from small households do not have such doors at all.
So, Mrs. Wang raised her hand and slapped the door hard with the palm of her hand.
¡°That is, after taking seven or eight shots, there was finally a response inside.
A woman's voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
Mrs. Wang's eyes were red, and he recognized the voice of his wife.
Mr. Wang will never forget his wife¡¯s voice.
How many years has it been since you went home?
It¡¯s been at least four years.
If it weren¡¯t for my good luck this time, I might never see them again.
Thinking of what happened to him after he became a prisoner during the Naha naval battle last year, Master Wang couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.
¡°Madam, it¡¯s for my husband, I¡¯m back.¡±
Mrs. Wang suppressed the excitement in her heart and shouted loudly.
Then, it suddenly became quiet inside, and it was very strange that there was no movement at all.
However, soon, the sound of items being knocked to the ground was heard again, followed by a rush of footsteps.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The crooked wooden door was opened, and a middle-aged woman with a round face appeared from behind the door.
This woman looks very ordinary, not as beautiful as a lotus. She is holding a blue floral coarse cloth scarf on her head, and she is also wearing a pair of coarse cloth.
There are also a lot of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and you can tell at a glance that she is a woman from an ordinary family at the bottom of society who works hard all day long.
"My boss! My boss, you are really back!"
After the woman opened the door and saw Mrs. Wang, the excitement on her face was beyond words.
Unlike modern people, the woman did not hug or kiss. She even looked a little embarrassed and didn't know where to put her hands.
Seeing that she wanted to come over and get close to Mrs. Wang, but she was too timid to come, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes, and her eyes began to turn red.
So, it can be seen from this that the woman was very happy and excited after meeting Mrs. Wang, her husband.
It¡¯s just that in this era, due to the constraints of various dogmas, she doesn¡¯t know how to express her concern and joy to her man.
Cheng En! Peace! Xiu'er!
Your father is back!
Finally, the middle-aged woman turned around and shouted loudly.
"My wife has worked hard these years. Thank you for your husband being here."
Mrs. Wang has been following Zhao Hongyu for some time, and she also learned some knowledge about the relationship between men and women from the male soldiers of the Imperial Navy.
Moreover, they have some ideas about how couples get along.? Got in touch.
Although he is very noncommittal about some concepts. But there are some concepts that he still strongly agrees with.
Especially after seeing how the men in the navy chat and deal with the female medical staff, Mrs. Wang is now a little different from ordinary famous men.
I remember that Mrs. Wang had a conversation with a male genetic person on the flagship, Xiao Guan'er, who had an independent and intelligent thinking personality. The Xiao Guan'er told Mrs. Wang that in fact, women also work very hard. They have to take care of their families and children. Pay far more than men.
So, as a man, you have to treat your wife better so that the woman can feel that her efforts have not been in vain
The two of them talked a lot about men and women. This genetic man instilled in Mrs. Wang many bad theories about men and women in later generations.
These theories were very shocking to Master Wang.
After finishing the chat, Mr. Wang would keep thinking and reminiscing.
Yes, what they said seems to be right.
My wife is indeed working very hard, and even suffers much more than herself.
¡°I think my wife followed me when she was fourteen years old. At that time, I only wanted to seek fame, so I did nothing but study every day.
¡°Thanks to his wife working in the fields every day at that time and taking care of the housework alone, he no longer had any worries.
"But I didn't live up to expectations. I failed the imperial examination that year.
Furthermore, his own land was no longer flooded, so he embarked on the path of piracy.
However, during all these years of being a pirate, his wife was still guarding the house and worrying about him every day.
¡°Compared with what I do outside my wife, it seems that it is really far behind.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Master Wang bowed to his wife today and expressed his gratitude.
¡° However, his wife was stunned.
"Master, aren't you a demon anymore?"
This woman¡¯s eyes widened, as if she didn¡¯t recognize her man.
Yes, Mrs. Wang would never treat her like this before, although the relationship between the couple has always been very good. But Mrs. Wang always treated her like a scholar, so what would happen like today? (To be continued.
