Chapter 38 Returning Home for the New Year



After Wang Zheng had arranged everything, he completely closed Jiangxin Island and transferred all the personnel to Jinli Beach, handing it over to Zhang San for management. He took Li Si, Chen Fengning, and a dozen of his followers home a month in advance to celebrate the New Year.

Wang Zheng's hometown is in Chang'an, but it is outside the city. Wang Zheng first arrived in the city, arranged Chen Fengning and his entourage in the city, and then took Li Si to pick up Wang Xian and go back together.

After leaving the city, Wang Zheng sat leisurely on the horse. Seeing Wang Xian sitting in the carriage with a look of joy and impatience, he asked, "How is the business of the second brother recently?"

Wang Xian's vermicelli shop could keep one-tenth of the copper coins for himself, which was used for shop operations and labor expenses. This was considered a reward from Wu Zetian to Wang Zheng.

Wang Xian had a very good income every month. This time when he went back, Wang Xian bought a lot of things for his family. Not only was his own carriage filled with things, but Li Si also drove a carriage behind him, most of which were filled with things he bought.

Knowing that Wang Zheng was asking knowingly, Wang Xian did not answer, but said impatiently: "I never thought the way home was so far before?"

Wang Zheng laughed in silence, "The road is still the same as before, you are just too impatient, my second brother is returning home in glory, and he is eager to show off!"

It was precisely because he had so many children, all of whom had grown up, that Wang Yu adopted Wang Zheng to Wang Xian.

The eldest brother Wang Zhong is already twenty years old and got married last year. This was the dowry that Wang Yu raised by selling Wang Zheng to Wang Xian.

Holding Yingniang's cold little hand, Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I'll ask mother to make you a new set of clothes later. Let's go inside and eat first. It's cold outside."

Wang first took a basket, took some food and left, and the rest of the people started to eat. Wang Zheng saw that everyone wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks, sighed, and said to Li Si, "Go get two pieces of bacon and cook them."

Zhongzheng Yingwu, these are the names of Wang Zheng's four brothers and sisters. These are the names that Wang Zheng's biological father Wang Yu exchanged for half a load of wheat from a fortune teller. Because he asked for four words at once, the fortune teller gave him a discount.

This kind of food should be rarely eaten at home. At least Wang Wu was swallowing his saliva hard. Even his sister-in-law, a woman who had just given birth, looked at the chicken with envy. It was obvious that life at home was just average and they could not eat or drink well.

Wang Yuanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "We won't go over. It's very cold outside. Let them bring the food over."

I thought my life would just pass by like this, so I adopted Wang Zheng from my eldest brother last year, thinking that after I passed away, there would be someone to burn incense for me so that I wouldn't be a lonely ghost. I didn't expect that I would become rich this year.

"Grandson Wang Zheng kowtowed to the two elders."

After Wang Zheng's interruption, Wang Xian's mood calmed down.

A clear little girl's voice sounded outside the house, interrupting the conversation of several people.

When he met Wang Yu and his wife, Wang Zheng kowtowed to greet them, and then bowed to greet Wang Zhong and his wife. After a lot of formalities, he sat down to eat.

"They are all doing well. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a grandson last month. Zhong came to tell me about it a few days ago. He wanted to give you a surprise when he returned. Since you asked about it now, it doesn't hurt to tell you first."

"Grandfather, Second Uncle, Second Brother, it's time for dinner."

Although only in his sixties, Wang Yuanshan, who already looked very old, grinned with his toothless mouth and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, we are all fine. It's even better now that you two are back. Get up quickly."

At this time, Wang Xian was not only rich, but also free. His parents and brothers were all alive, and he had many clan members. Naturally, he wanted to take the things back and show them off.

After returning home, Wang Xian took Wang Zheng to kowtow to the old man Wang Yuanshan and his wife. It was a must to kneel down and pay homage when returning home after a long absence.

Anyway, just try to please the old man and brag as much as you can.

"The unfilial son, the king, kowtows to father and mother first. Are they all right?"

Wang Xian choked up and said, "I am an unfilial son and have made my father worry."

As soon as Wang Zheng stepped out of the door, a pair of small hands grabbed his sleeves. Yingniang raised her red face and looked at Wang Zheng and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, did you buy those cloths in the carriage for our own use?"

Wang Xian is forty years old this year. He was born in troubled times and grew up in the early Tang Dynasty. When he was a child, his family could not afford food, so he entered the palace to become a eunuch. He wanted to have a great future in the palace, but who knew that life in the palace was not easy.

Wang nodded first and said, "I'll bring it to my father right away."

"If you don't return home with your wealth and glory, it's like walking in the night with your wealth and glory. I don't mean to laugh at you, brother. I'm just thinking about how I'm going to show off when I go back. I wonder how Grandpa, my brother, and mother have been doing this year?"

However, Wang Xian was somewhat embarrassed to have his thoughts pointed out to him so directly. He angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I miss home so much."

The old lady next to him wiped her eyes and said to Wang Xian, "Don't always talk about filial piety. Being able to live without worrying us is filial piety. We won't feel uneasy if you have Zheng Geer by your side in the future."

"You kid, haha!"

Wang Zheng quickly expressed his opinion, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of my second brother."

The third child, Wang Wu, was originally named Wang Ying when he was a child. He is twelve years old this year. When the fourth child was born, they saw that it was a girl, so they changed her name to the third child, which turned out to be suitable. Wang Ying is nine years old this year.

The old lady nodded happily, "Okay, okay, our brother has grown up. I heard that you have done a good job in the imperial farm and have made some new things. We have a lot of bamboo utensils at home, which are really convenient to use."

On a bamboo table were corn porridge, large pot-fried bread, and a pot of cooked chicken in the middle.

After struggling for most of his life, Wang Xian finally got a position as a manager. In the past, he seldom went home, and usually he would rush back when something big happened at home.

"Okay."

Li Si, who had been feeling a little aggrieved for a long time, immediately responded happily and went out to get the meat.

Wang Zheng's mother said somewhat unhappily, "Isn't there meat? Why do we need to cook it?"

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Cook more so that everyone can have a good meal. Don't worry, mother. I brought back a lot of bacon this time. I will have someone bring some back for you every month. I guarantee you will have more meat than you can eat in the future."

The old lady immediately smiled happily, "That's great, I want a fatter one, with more fat so it tastes better."
