Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Chapter 267 The Wu Family, Wu Liangfu

"Who is Wu Liangfu?" Ding Tian didn't know the people here very well: "How did he know the exam questions?"

"Wu Liangfu is the old son of Mr. Wu. This Wu Liangfu has been pampered since he was a child. Wu Lianghui, the young master of the Wu family, has already taken over the oil workshop of the Wu family. And this Wu Liangfu was sent to the academy. He didn't pass the exam last time. This time...it’s really not easy to get the exam questions!" Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then told Ding Tian and the others: "Mr. Wu is about the same age as my eldest son. It can be regarded as a proper family."

"Children who come from a family of duty can still get exam questions?" Ding Tian didn't believe this.

"Master Ding, Tian Butou, although my third son is not very talented, but he is serious and hardworking in his studies. The kid surnamed Wu didn't deal with my third son in the academy. They are all young and aggressive. This..." After a while, the inside and outside of the words mean that my own children are good, and the bad ones are all hooked up by other people's children.

Anyway, I want to push the responsibility away.

Where is it so easy?

Ding Tian told him very calmly: "Once the case is clarified, we will naturally know who is the good boy. However, before the case is over, please don't leave the city, let alone go out. For convenience, please come as you please."

After saying this, Master Zhang's face turned dark.

Sending people out of the door, once the door is closed, is like sending away the plague god.

Ding Tian was happy: "Master Zhang has really become honest. I thought he would refute me a few words, but he turned out to be so obedient.

I won't put down a harsh word. "

The last time he came, he was not like this.

"He is honest?" Tian Baotou smiled: "Tian'er! Didn't you notice? The order of his speech is always 'Master Ding'

In the front, "Tian Butou" is in the back, and they always refer to us together. This is to tell me that you overwhelm me, and your official official position is prison guard, not head catcher. He is provoking Divorce! "

Ding Tian was stunned: "What?"

He really didn't hear it!

"Stupid boy, he is uneasy and kind, but you are lucky, but you didn't hear anything!" Tian Catcher even bent over with a smile: "It's nothing to show Master Zhang's energy!"

The others also burst out laughing, making Ding Tian dumbfounded: "I'm really... just thinking about the case."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll punish you to treat us to lunch!" Tian Tuotou said happily, "Let's go to the Piaoxiang restaurant in front, and we want to eat Kaijiang fish."

"Okay, please go and eat Jiangyu." Ding Tian patted his pocket: "I treat you."

In fact, at noon, they didn't think about going to Wu's house right away. They missed the lunch time. One was to prevent the Wu family from having the opportunity to invite them to eat and bribe them, and the other was really hungry.

This early in the morning, he started to work hard, no one was hard-pressed, and Ding Tian was also hungry.

Although the name of Piaoxiang Restaurant is nice, in fact, in Ding Tian's eyes, it is a stew in an iron pot. Behind the hall, there is a row of large iron pots. Chickens and mushrooms are stewed in a big pot. Stewed ribs and dried beans in a big pot, and big goose stewed in a big pot.

A large pot on the far side is stewed with a lot of freshwater fish such as crucian carp, carp, grass carp, catfish and so on. If you want to eat any fish, you can directly serve it out of the pot, sprinkle with green onion and coriander, and serve it on the table. It is quick and convenient .

The stews in these four big pots are all hard dishes, meat dishes.

There is also a large pot of steamed steamed buns and Hanamaki.

There is also a large pot of two rice in the back, as well as clean plates and bowls.

After entering the door, the group of them occupied the two large tables in the middle, which can seat ten people. Ding Tian ordered dishes without hesitation: "Fish and ribs, as well as chicken mushrooms, big goose, come here A plate, and the scrambled eggs with sauce, bring me a plate! The fried bean sprouts with leeks, also have a plate! Also, bring me a jar of sorghum wine."

What is Lao Bai doing? It's too strong. They have to go to Wu's house after dinner. They can't be full of alcohol, but sorghum wine is low-alcohol alcohol. If there is an altar, each person will get a bowl.

It's a pity, there is no drink... If there is a drink, Ding Tian doesn't want to drink low-alcohol alcohol.

The food came out quickly, but while waiting for the food, everyone chatted again, and there was also a table of people eating next door. The people at this table were all big and round, and they were wearing uniform black muslin shorts. But they are thin-soled fast boots. This thing... is based on the appearance of official boots, but it is not as thick as official boots. The soles are very thin, and they walk lightly. They are ordinary thugs.

, servants, nursing home standard equipment.

And this group of people looked a little vicious, so they were not easy to mess with at first sight.

But Ding Tian and the others are also the same. Although the policemen are in casual clothes, they all have sharp eyes, and they are not ordinary at first glance.

people.

Besides, there were only eight people on the other side, but Ding Tian and the others had a lot of people, twenty strong young men.

Everyone sat peacefully, waiting to eat, while the next door was discussing the issue of "collecting money".

A bald-headed brawny man called the brawny man with wristbands: "Brother, the boss said that the compensation is huge this time, and we need someone to settle the score."

"

"It's just a matter of settlement, but we are here to collect money, not to find someone to settle accounts. What does it have to do with us if the owner loses money? Don't make trouble, and collect the money after dinner! If you can't get it back Forgive me, the boss can’t spare us.” The big brother threw a piece of chicken into his mouth, chewing on the bones and meat, and then swallowed it without spitting out the chicken bones.

Another strong man with a small scar on his face muttered: "What I said at the time was categorical, why did the test questions be so accurate? He even boasted that the word was good, and the result? It was wrong!"

"The gambling house is in the dealership, and it ended up losing a lot of money... shameful!" One of the strong men also whispered: "The boss is also so indiscriminate, so it is true..."

"Don't talk about the boss's affairs." The big brother's strong wrist glared at them: "Everyone stopped eating, what's the matter if you can't stop your mouths with such delicious food?"

The other strong men didn't dare to say a word, and they all lowered their heads to pick up the rice, eating rudely.

Sitting next to them were Ding Tian and Jing Tian, ​​back to back, and those strong men had loud voices, even if they muttered softly, the movement was not small.

What's more, Ding Tian and Jing Tian's eyes lit up when they heard the word "examination question"!

"The food is here!" The waiter in the shop promptly delivered four large plates, all of which were full to the brim. This store is following the civilian route, with large plates and a large number of dishes, which are very affordable.

The quarrel was over, but after the group of strong men had finished their meal, they remitted the money and left, Ding Tian heard the people at the next table curl their lips and said: "Once this gang of thugs come out, I don't know who will be in trouble again." .”

"What makes the most money these days? Gambling shop!" Another person slammed his mouth: "Eat, eat!"

"Gambler?" Ding Tian looked at Jing Tian.

Jing Tian told him very calmly: "That's the thugs from the Four Seas Gambling House. They showed up to ask for money. Oh, they call it collection. Whoever owes money to the gambling house has to pay it back. If not, the gambling house will pay you back." I will send someone to collect it at home, and when the time comes, if you don’t give me money, don’t even think about it.”

"Is there no one to take care of them?" Ding Tian was angry: "No matter how good the gambling house is, it is also a non-governmental organization? How can it be forced?

Harm ordinary people? "

"You don't understand this. The door of the gambling house is open, and you are not being forced to play in the gambling house. Anyone who can enter wants to win money, but how many of them really win money?" Jing Tian said: "However, from what I just said, the Four Seas Gambling House may also bet on the exam questions, but I don't know how big the handicap is. It seems to have lost money? It's rare, and the gambling house sometimes loses money."

"In business, if you want to make money, you have to lose money." Ding Tian felt very relieved: "I hope he loses a lot, so he closes the gambling shop!"

"Close? It's so easy!" Jing Tian said happily: "The casino has been here for several years, let the situation outside change,

This gambling house is standing still. Look, from the governor, the chief envoy, the governor to the prefect, there are so many officials, how many are on and off their horses?No matter how big the storm is, this casino doesn't care at all... "

Ding Tian thought, isn't it true: "This casino has a strong background?"

Even Wang Zuo didn't move, which shows that the background is indeed very powerful.

"Really?" Jing Tian said: "I don't know about deep diving, anyway, no one can dig out."

A group of people had dinner, Ding Tian went to settle the bill, and only spent four taels of silver, the most expensive of which was wine, but the food was really affordable.

After leaving the restaurant, I went to Wu's house.

The Wu family is a small rich family. The Wu family has a hundred acres of fertile land, an oil workshop, and two leased shops. The shops are owned by the daughter-in-law of the young master of the Wu family. The dowry of the grandma of the Wu family naturally belongs to the daughter-in-law reason.

My family only points to the harvest in the fields and the oil workshop to live.

The Wu family is from a grassroots background. Mr. Wu used to beg for a living outside, that is, he worked in the oil workshop. Later, he saved money and did not marry a wife. Instead, he built the Wu family oil workshop. After the oil workshop operated for two years, he made money. Just married a daughter-in-law, a more inspirational

successful people.

The Wu family is not a big family either, there is a big house with three entrances and a courtyard. Master Wu and Mrs. Wu live in the main house, the eldest son's family lives in the east courtyard, and the west courtyard is a guest courtyard.

On the contrary, the back house has a large space, so Wu Liangfu lived in the east wing. There are three east wing rooms, one is a bedroom, one is a living room, and the other is his study.

When Ding Tian and the others approached the door, the young master of the Wu family was accompanying the young mistress to Baiyun Nunnery to offer incense and was not at home.

Master Wu received them, and when Ding Tian said that he wanted to find Second Young Master Wu, Master Wu happily told him: "He's taking a test at the government office, he's not at home!"

Ding Tian and Jing Tian looked at each other, they forgot...today is the day of the government examination.

"But what's the matter?" Mr. Wu is a 50-year-old man. He probably suffered a lot when he was young. He looks a few years older than Mr. Zhang's family. The old calluses can't deceive people, they are a pair of working hands.

"Master Wu, recently...who has Second Young Master been in close contact with suddenly?" As the head catcher, Tian Jing could only ask questions.

"Suddenly?" Mr. Wu thought for a while: "No one? His temper is not very good, he doesn't have many friends who get along well, but he does have a few classmates, but isn't there an exam? Everyone is busy studying, No one is coming to the house as a guest?"

"Then... what did Second Young Master Wu tell you? About the exam?" Jing Tian asked again: "For example, will you definitely pass the exam?"

"He did say that, and he also said that the family should prepare a banquet early to celebrate." Master Wu stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "

That's all his child's bragging. If it was really that easy to be admitted as a scholar, his brother would have passed the exam long ago. Let him read and write, and he doesn't have to come back with some merit. What's more, if you live by yourself in the future, you must know how to read the account book and settle accounts, right?You have to know how to read the land deed and calculate the rent! "

Mr. Wu is of good nationality, and later he became prosperous. Although he was an oil workshop, he mainly focused on farming, so he was never considered a real businessman, but he still kept his family's right to take the imperial examination.

It’s like Ding Tian’s second uncle and third uncle’s family. Although they have business, they mainly focus on farming. In ancient times, it was allowed to keep good records, so Ding Tian’s two cousins ​​were eligible to take the imperial examination.

As for failing the exam...it depends on one's ability and luck.
