In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Wang in Liyang Town . He was a man named Wang Dafu. His family runs a grain and oil business. One of Wang Dafu's cousin was an official in the court, so he also had a private salt transaction at home, but it was a shameful business. Because he was surrounded by his cousin, the business was always booming.

Wang Dafu married his wife when he was in his twenties, but now he is thirty-six years old, but he has no children. His wife Liu's has been drinking medicine for several years, but her stomach has not moved.

The fact that Wang Yuanwai's wife cannot have children is no secret in Liyang Town. Everyone knows that Wang Dafu's family has 10,000 mu of land and several courtyards. Some merchants who have contact with the Wang family business have found a matchmaker and went to persuade Wang Dafu to take a concubine. They all want to marry his sister or daughter to Wang Dafu. If he has a son, his mother will be rich by his son, and the Wang family's family business can also fall into his own hands.

Speaking of Wang Dafu, although his family is rich, he is a man who is not close to women. The matchmaker came to persuade him, and he was very repulsive. Later, after his wife Liu's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed to take a concubine. Liu comes from a scholarly family, has a quiet personality and is difficult to argue with others. She has been drinking medicine for several years, and the doctor has met countless times. Now Wang Yuanwai is thirty-six years old, and she has tried her best, so she persuades her husband to take a concubine. With his offspring, the Wang family's family business will have successors.

After Wang Dafu agreed to take a concubine, the matchmaker came to the house one by one. Among the many women, Liu chose a better family and outstanding appearance, named Chen Meier. After choosing the auspicious day, Chen Meier lived in another villa of the Wang family.

With his wife's urging, Wang Dafu went to the villa every night to stay. Three months later, Chen Mei'er became pregnant, and Liu arranged for people around him to take care of him, who were quick and steady and down-to-earth in work. After ten months of pregnancy, Chen Mei'er gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a daughter. Finally, she had a future. Although she was not a boy, Wang Dafu was still very happy and went to the villa to live every day. Liu lives alone in the Wang family courtyard. Although there are many servants, he feels very lonely. Liu's personal maid Aling gave Liu an idea to ask her to spend money to adopt a baby boy. Liu refused at first, but seeing that his husband had not come back for two months, he asked Aling to inquire about the adoption. With a lot of money, he actually bought a newborn baby boy. It is said that he lives thousands of miles away and is a child from a poor family. There are many children in the family and cannot be raised, so he sent the child out. Liu looked at the baby boy in front of him and was very happy. Because he could not have children, he felt full of maternal love when he saw the child.

Liu held the child and asked his servants to go to the villa to invite the staff to go home. He said there was an urgent matter to discuss. Wang Dafu hurried back home. He saw Liu holding a baby in his arms and asked where the child came from. Liu lied that he went to the temple to burn incense during the day. He picked it up on the way back. He saw that the child was pitiful and didn't know which family it was. He was so cruel and threw him in the wild. Wang Dafu stepped forward and opened the quilt wrapped around the baby. Seeing that it was a baby boy, Liu said quickly that when he came back, he called the doctor to check it out. It was a healthy baby boy, less than ten days old.

Wang Dafu looked at the soft and soft child in front of him. He wanted a son. Now there was a baby boy in front of him. Although he was not a biological child, he took the child and liked him the more he looked at it. He said to Liu, "Don't mention this child's life experience to anyone in the future. Just say that you gave birth to it. In the future, I will be my son of Wang Dafu, the heir to the Wang family."

Liu's eyes were filled with tears. It seems that she did this right.

Later, Wang Dafu ran two ends every day. Two years later, his concubine Chen Meier became pregnant again. In order to facilitate care, Wang Dafu discussed with Liu and took Chen Meier to the Wang family compound to live in the courtyard. He was pregnant for ten months. On the day of Chen Meier's childbirth, it was so painful. When the midwife came out to ask Wang Dafu whether to protect his grandfather or young, Wang Dafu almost fainted. Liu asked the midwife carefully. It turned out that the child had an incorrect fetal position and Liu had a blood sanitation. If he forced external force to correct the child's fetal position and the child was born, Chen's would probably not be able to hold on. If Chen was stopped from bleeding now, Chen's life would definitely be saved, but because the child was deficient in the abdomen, he was afraid that he would still have a baby.

I heard Chen Meier shouting in the room, "Protect the child!" As soon as the midwife saw that it was too late, she plunged into the room. A baby's cry came out from the room. The child was born. The midwife rushed to report the good news. It was a baby boy, and Chen Meier was already dying at this time. She looked at Liu and said, "Sister Liu, I'm afraid I can't stand today. I hope you promise me that you will treat my two children well in the future and treat them as your own offspring." Liu nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will treat them as your own offspring." After

, Chen Meier swallowed before she could even take a look at the newborn child. Wang Dafu hugged Chen Meier who had already died and shouted her name loudly, but unfortunately the beauty had left.

Wang Dafu arranged for the housekeeper to hold a grand funeral. It is said that the mother is noble by her son. Although Chen Meier gave birth to the only baby boy in the Wang family, she had no blessing to live up to her.

Later, Liu was in charge of three children at home alone. The eldest daughter was Wang Yanran, the second son was adopted son Wang Jiaci, and a newborn baby boy. Wang Dafu named him Wang Jiachen and took his mother's surname to commemorate his dead mother.

Wang Dafu now has three children in his family. He doesn’t have to worry about his children, so he goes into business. Liu carefully takes care of the diet and daily life of his three children at home.

More than ten years have passed in a flash. Wang Yanran has grown into a big girl and has reached the age of marriage. Wang Dafu and Liu chose her and betrothed her to Wu Zhiran, the son of the magistrate of Wu County. She is a gentle scholar and looks handsome. After marriage, the couple was loving, and Wang Yuanwai and his wife were very satisfied.

Wang Jiaci and Wang Jiachen grew up together, and now they are at the age of marriage. Jiaci has been smart since childhood and can learn everything at once. So they go to the store to learn business with their father early. Jiachen has been weak and sick since childhood, and he doesn’t read much books. He drinks soup and medicine all day long. Liu takes care of him carefully. Jiachen is in poor health, so he is very spoiled and worried that he will hit him. His parents have always been willing to ask for Jiachen since childhood, so Jiachen has developed the habit of getting clothes and having food to open their mouths. Jiachen has known since childhood that no matter what mistakes he makes, his parents never beat him, so he has always been arrogant because of favor.

The matchmaker came to the door to match the two young men of the Wang family. No matter which girl it was, Liu asked Jia Chen to see first. After the second son missed her, he would let the eldest son see it. The eldest son always said respectfully to his mother, "It's good that the mother is the master."

Later, the matchmaker took out a small portrait and said it was the daughter of Jia Qianqiu, a wealthy businessman in the town. Jia Lan'er. You can see that Jia Lan'er is very beautiful since she was a child. Liu still asked his servants to call her younger son. Wang Jia Chen looked at the small portrait and was fascinated. For a moment, he forgot to return his mother's words. Liu looked at him and was very happy. He probably fell in love with the girl, so he gave the matchmaker some errand money and asked her to go and talk to him.

In this way, the marriage between Wang Jiachen and Jia Lan'er was settled. The eldest son Wang Jiaci chose one of the many small statues brought by his mother, and his marriage was settled. In this way, the Wang family happily prepared the marriage of the two young men, and they were very busy.

On the wedding day, the guests in the hall were very lively. On the wedding night, Wang Jiachen looked at the shy and beautiful wife in front of him and was very happy, so the two hugged each other.

In Wang Jiaci's wedding room, the bride sat quietly. After Jiaci delivered all the guests, he helped his father to direct his servants. After cleaning up, he dragged his tired body to the wedding room. When he saw the bride waiting on the step, he felt guilty. The bride's name was Li Xinyi, and he was the little girl of Boss Li, the Li family tofu shop in the west of the city. She looked average and had a quiet personality.

Wang Jiaci lifted the veil and hurriedly expressed his apology. Li Xinyi saw her husband being gentle and polite and showed her talent. She was very happy and hurriedly stepped forward to help her husband change his clothes. Wang Jiaci blew out the candle of tears, and the spring night was worth a thousand gold.

Not long after marriage, Wang Dafu and Liu discussed which son it was better to pass on to start a business. Wang Dafu thought that the eldest son Jiaci was a business material, and it was more appropriate to pass it to him. Liu believed that it should pass it to his second son Jiachen, because Jiachen was Wang Dafu's biological son, and it was legitimate to pass it to him, so the two often quarreled because of this.

One night, the two of them talked about family business again. The second daughter-in-law Jia got up in the middle of the night. When she passed by her parents' window, she heard her mother saying that Jiaci was not Wang Dafu's biological son. She was shocked, so she listened quietly for a while. Only then did she realize that one of the old couple wanted to pass the family business to their elder brother and the other wanted to pass the family business to their husband.

Jia Lan'er knew the secret of the Wang family and was unsure of her own mind. The next day she went back to her parents' home and told her about this matter with her father. Jia Qianqiu had been doing business in a business in the early years because of opportunity, and mixed rice into good rice. After the buyer found out, he returned his rice and asked him to pay a high compensation. The buyer turned around and cooperated with Wang Dafu. That time he lost all his money. Later, her wife sold jewelry and borrowed money from her parents' home, which made her overcome the difficulties. Since then, he hated Wang Dafu and thought that he would definitely find a way to take revenge in the future.

Now, the opportunity has come. He asked his daughter to try his best to convince her father-in-law and pass the Wang family business to Wang Jiachen. Then he will find a way to replace the pillars and take the Wang family business for himself.

Jia Lan'er thought her father was planning for her future, so she was very happy, so she went back to the Wang family. Following her father's plan, she went to her elder brother's room early in the morning while her sister-in-law Li returned to her parents' home. Wang Jiaci saw her younger brother and sister come to her, thinking she had something to do, but her younger brother and sister only said that she had a headache when she woke up in the morning and walked into the wrong room in a daze. Seeing her father coming to find her elder brother, she hurriedly saluted her elder brother and walked out of her elder brother's room.

Wang Dafu looked at the second daughter-in-law who was hurried away and was puzzled. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his eldest son tidying his clothes. Wang Jiaci had just got up and put on his clothes when he saw his younger brother and sister coming. Without saying a few words, the younger brother and sister left again. When the younger brother and sister left, he remembered that he was not dressed and tidying his clothes, and his father came in.

Wang Dafu saw it and felt that there was absolutely something between the two of them. He was very unhappy, so he asked, "Jiaci, am I dazzled. I just saw my second wife leaving from you?"

Wang Jiaci respectfully saluted his father and replied, "Back to my father, my younger brother and sister said she had a headache early and walked into the wrong house in a daze. I was just thinking about asking the doctor to give it to my younger brother and sister. Look. "

, Wang Dafu's words were made in his ears, and he felt that he was making excuses. Seeing his eldest son caring about his second daughter-in-law, he was very angry and said, "Just take care of your own affairs. She is uncomfortable, and her second child cares about her. You can be at home today, don't go to the shop!" After saying that, he left, Wang Jiaci wondered why his father was angry. However, he did not dare to disobey his father, so he did not follow his father to the store. Wang Dafu thought that his eldest son was guilty and did not dare to go to the store with him. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he had no concern about the store. He gave the matter to the shopkeeper and went home.

When he got home, he told Liu what he saw in the morning. The two of them discussed the family business again. This time, Wang Dafu did not say anything about passing the family business to Jiaci. The two discussed passing the family business to Jiachen. They were afraid that the eldest and the second daughter-in-law would not know each other again, so they planned to hand over the two shops in Linxian that were about to close to the door to the eldest and the eldest couple to take care of it. This would be considered a separation of the family.

On the evening, Wang Dafu told the two brothers about the separation of the family, and neither of his sons had any objections. In this way, Wang Jiaci took Li to Lin County, and the Wang family's property was handed over to Wang Jiachen.

Wang Jiachen did not understand the way of doing business. At the suggestion of his wife Jia Lan'er, Jia Lan'er's cousin Jia Cheng was asked to manage all matters in the store. Under the guidance of his uncle Jia Qianqiu, Jia Cheng overturned the Wang family's industry to the Jia family bit by bit, and gradually the Wang family's business was left with an empty shell.

Wang Dafu was very pleased to see his son manage his business well and was glad that he did not choose the wrong successor.

html There was an unexpected situation in 0 days. Wang Dafu's cousin was imprisoned for smuggling. The emperor sent someone to investigate thoroughly and found out that the Wang family. The Wang family's business has now been transferred to the Jia family, including the private salt business. Jia Qianqiu has been in contact with the Wang family's private salt business for more than two years. The profits of this were huge, which made him a lot of money. The government came to investigate and investigated. He searched the list of officials in various places and a large amount of money in his dark room. The Jia family was investigated overnight.

Wang Dafu and Wang Jiachen were also arrested and Wang Jiachen was also arrested. The Wang family lost their backbone for a while. Liu was worried about her husband and son. Wang Dafu was almost sixty years old, so how could he withstand the prison? His son Jiachen was weak and sick, so he went to the prison, but he was afraid that there would be more dangers.

Liu was worried every day and cried, wanting to make some reservations. After asking the accountant, he realized that there was no silver in the accountant and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Only then did Jia Lan'er realize her father's plan. It turned out that his father wanted to take over the Wang family business for himself, but now he sent herself to prison because of smuggling. Jia Lan'er regretted that she shouldn't have listened to her father and framed her elder brother, causing misunderstandings between her father-in-law and her elder brother, and that would not be the case today.

Jia Lan'er thought that she had to go to find her brother and sister-in-law and see if they could rescue her father and husband, so she came to Lin County and told Wang Jiaci the whole story. Only then did Wang Jiaci realize that he was not his parents' biological parents, but his parents treated him better than his biological parents. When she thought of her father's imprisonment, she felt very distressed. He had been here for three years, and the store was under his management and his business was booming.

Wang Jiaci wanted to sell the store and exchange it for cash to go back to rescue his father and younger brother. His wife Li agreed, so after selling the two stores, the three of them returned to the Wang family together. When Liu saw that his eldest son was back, he cried bitterly.

Wang Jiaci took the money to find his elder sister Wang Yanran, and dragged his elder brother-in-law to find out that he needed to pay a high amount of bail to rescue his father and brother from prison. Wang Yanran had long wanted to save his father and brother, but he didn't have that much money.

Wang Jiaci returned home and discussed with his mother about saving his father. He planned to sell the land and house in his home to make up enough money. So he asked someone to ask about the buyer everywhere. In the first and second half a month, Wang Jiaci only left a small yard for the whole family to live in, and all the other property deeds were sold.

Only then did Wang Dafu save his father and younger brother. Wang Dafu was tortured in the prison and only half of his life was left. Wang Jiachen also suffered from coughing due to the dampness in the prison and kept coughing.

took back his father and younger brother, and the whole family cried with joy. Liu told Wang Dafu that in order to save their father and son, all the people in the family could be sold. Wang Dafu looked at the eldest son in front of him and felt mixed feelings. He drove his eldest son away because of a misunderstanding. Part of the reason was that he was not his own child, but now, he tried his best to rescue their father and son from prison.

The gratitude was beyond words. Wang Dafu didn't know what to say. Liu felt very guilty and said to Wang Jiaci: "Child, now that you already know your life experience, I will tell you where your home is, you can go to find your biological parents." After that, he covered his face and cried.

After hearing his mother's words, Wang Jiaci knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "My parents are you. I have regarded me as my own descendant since I was a child. I am my biological parents. Now my father and younger brother have been rescued. There will be no more disasters in our family. I beg my father not to drive me away."

Wang Dafu stood up with difficulty and helped his eldest son up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Son, it's hard for you. You are my Wang Dafu's son, and you will always be. "The father and son hugged each other with tears, and there was no more rift.

Later, Wang Jiaci went to his father-in-law's house to borrow 100 taels of silver to make capital, and started a grain and oil business. The business gradually grew bigger and bigger. After Wang Jiachen became healthier, he went to the store to help his brother. Later, Jiachen was able to stand alone. They changed the name of the store to "Brothers Grain and Oil Store", and the business was booming. Jia Lan'er and Li Xinyi got along like their own sisters. They got pregnant and had children together. Wang Dafu and Liu were so happy to see their grandson born.
