protect our patriarch

Chapter 77 Sister-in-law is here too?

……

Only then did Wang Shouzhe notice that there was a [-]- or [-]-year-old girl not far away.

She was at the age when cardamom first bloomed. She had two pigtails and a melon-seeded face. She was very clean and refreshing. She was blinking her big black and white eyes and looking at Wang Shouzhe with great interest.

"Are you Sister Ruolei?" Wang Shouzhe saluted.

He knew that the Liu family's direct line was relatively prosperous, and the current patriarch Liu Gaowang had two sons and two daughters.His fiancee Liu Ruolan is the eldest daughter, and she has a sister Liu Ruolei below her.

I just didn't expect that Liu Ruolei would also come here.

Well, not long ago, I had a little brother-in-law's addiction in front of Chen Fangjie, which made Chen Fangjie feel the taste of walking on thin ice.

Now that his own future brother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law are all here, it's his turn to tremble.

"Ruolei has seen brother Shouzhe." Liu Ruolei also hurriedly returned the salute, with a well-mannered manner, but she had the demeanor of a future lady.

Brother-in-law or something, it can only be a joke now.Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan have not been married for a day, so they cannot change their names at will.

As soon as the meeting and greetings are turned over, the Liu family will drive off the carriage, horses, etc. from the ferry.

Only then did Wang Shouzhe welcome them out of Dingpu Ferry.

"Brother, let's ride in brother Shouzhe's carriage, just in time to listen to brother Shouzhe's introduction to the customs of Ping'an Town." Liu Ruolei pulled Liu Yuanrui's sleeve and suggested.

Obviously, Liu Ruolei is very interested in Wang Shouzhe, the future brother-in-law, and wants to get in touch more.

Although Liu Yuanrui is not yet 16 years old, his complexion is still a little immature, but he is quite mature in dealing with people.He shook his head with a wry smile and said to Wang Shouzhe, "Brother Shouzhe, don't blame me, our family Ruo Lei has been spoiled since childhood."

"It doesn't matter, sister Ruolei is lively and very cute, Yuan Rui, if you don't dislike it, you can ride my carriage with sister Ruolei." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "It happens that you and my brother have not seen each other for some time. , let’s talk together.”

"That's the best thing. I can just ask Brother Shouzhe for more advice and learning."

Afterwards, the three of them went back to Wang's main house in a carriage.The family generals of Liu's and Wang's are riding horses and guarding the surroundings.

Along the way, the three of them ate melons and fruits and chatted casually at the scenery outside the carriage.

Liu Yuanrui is also quite talkative. From this insect disaster to disaster relief, and then to changes that may have long-term effects in the future.From this, it can also be seen that he has solid knowledge in all aspects of homework.

Although there are several small ideas, Wang Shouzhe does not agree.But it didn't prevent Wang Shouzhe from feeling very good about this future brother-in-law.

In Liu Yuanrui's heart, he was even more surprised.He had also dealt with Wang Shouzhe before. At that time, he was introverted and not good at speaking. He could only be convinced by cultivation.

Because of this, Liu Yuanrui was still slightly dissatisfied with this marriage in his heart.I always felt that with Wang Shouzhe's ability and talent, he couldn't even match him. How could he be worthy of his sister Liu Ruolan?
It's just that this marriage was decided by the ancestors. As a junior, Liu Yuanrui has no right to speak even if he is dissatisfied in his heart.

But I didn't want to, I haven't seen each other for a year or two, but this future brother-in-law has undergone earth-shaking changes.His speech and manners are mature and steady, and his eyebrows are calm and composed, as if revealing a strong self-confidence.

When it comes to some topics of the current situation, he is even more quick-witted and logically clear, and he can often get to the bottom of the truth with just a few words.Even when he listened to it, he felt enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

"Brother Shouzhe's insight makes Yuanrui admire. It's just that Yuanrui is a little dissatisfied with the argument that food prices cannot be opened up." Liu Yuanrui said eloquently, "From the plague of insects, it can be seen that The disadvantages of this national policy. The merchants are unprofitable, so how can they desperately transport food from far away to sell? In my opinion, half of this disaster looks like a natural disaster, but the Zifu Academy is actually responsible, and half of it is the fault of the national policy. I I believe that in the near future, the national policy on food prices is very likely to change."

"It is possible to change the national policy of food prices, but even if it changes, it will only be fine-tuned." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said, "Yuanrui, you only see the advantages of liberalizing food prices. For example, in disaster years, you can quickly mobilize food to calm down. The disaster situation ignores the greed of human nature. Once the rise and fall of food prices are fully liberalized, there will inevitably be predators entering the market, monopolizing food production, and controlling the rise and fall of food prices. At that time, small families like you and me, and Countless self-cultivators, as well as thousands of other civilians, will be toyed with by those predators, and they will have no choice but to live or die."

"Natural disasters don't happen every year, but man-made disasters can happen all the time." Wang Shouzhe's expression was extremely solemn, "When looking at current policies and national policies, you can't just look at certain drawbacks. The price is also a great disaster. Greedy businessmen will be unscrupulous, scraping the last pockets of civilians, and even trying to force them to sell their fields and properties, and sell their sons and daughters.”

"This..." Liu Yuanrui seemed unconvinced, but he didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he changed the subject, "Brother Shouzhe, the water in front of you is Zhuwei Lake, right? Brother Zhe must take me on a lake tour."

Liu Ruolei didn't speak much, but watching her brother's conversation with Wang Shouzhe, she could feel that brother Shouzhe was more confident and calm, calm and airy, and most of what he said was right.

It seems that brother Shouzhe is better than the rumors.

However, she is also quite interested in Zhuwei Lake: "I also want to go to Zhuwei Lake to play."

Hearing that their brothers and sisters wanted to go to Zhuwei Lake, Wang Shouzhe remembered that the Liu family's relationship with Zhuwei Lake was different from that of others.

The second daughter of the second generation of the Wang family, Wang Zhuwei, was married to the Liu family and had two sons and one daughter.Now the bloodline is the bloodline passed down by her old man.

The reason why she has a high status in the Liu family is more because the three ancestors of the Liu family who are alive today are all related to her.One is her son and the other is her grandson.

And having a daughter is even better.

That is Liu Xuanfu, one of the Changning Shuangjiao who is as famous as the ancestor of Longyan.

According to everyone's guess, Liu Xuanfu, who developed very smoothly in the Zifu Academy, must be in the late stage of the Lingtai realm at this time.The reason why the Liu family has developed so rapidly in recent years is also inseparable from Liu Xuanfu's secret care and support.

Therefore, Zhuwei's aunt and grandma lived in the Liu family, and she lived a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.It's a pity that in the year when Patriarch Zhouxuan died in battle, that is, in 3095 of the Changlong Year, Aunt Wang Zhuwei was devastated after hearing the news, and finally passed away with Patriarch Zhouxuan at the age of 87.

Gossip aside.

The carriage went further and saw the hot construction site by the Zhuwei Lake.

Liu Yuanrui was interested again: "Brother Shouzhe, are you going to build a courtyard by the lake with so many sheds?"

Wang Shouzhe smiled. Of course, it is impossible to build a different courtyard. Wang's economy has eased recently, but he poured money into the building for no reason, that is, his forehead was caught.

"Our Wang family is going to dredging and filling." Wang Shouzhe probably talked about the plan.Such a huge project cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it.

After listening to this, Liu Yuanrui was stunned on the spot, he did a quick mental calculation, his expression was full of shock: "Brother Shouzhe, are you joking? The total cost of such a huge project is probably no less than [-] dry gold. , the manpower and material resources used are extremely huge, you you you..."

It is no wonder that such a huge project is comparable to the feats of the ancestors when they pioneered the land.Although some Xuanwu families will organize tenant farmers or farmers to do some work to expand the scope of the farm, such as dredging and filling the river, leveling the land, during the slack season.

But after all, it is all a small fight, and the scale is limited. A farm can expand dozens or hundreds of acres a year, which is not bad.

"How can such a big event be joking?" Wang Shouzhe's expression was a little serious.

Liu Yuanrui's body shook, and his expression became a little complicated.Although he behaved modestly and decently, politely.But there is a sense of superiority in his bones. Before he came, he also came here with the mentality of a little brother-in-law who is picky about his brother-in-law.

The Liu family is very powerful, and Liu Yuanrui himself is also talented and has been praised by the ancestors of the family many times.He always thought that his sister Liu Ruolan would marry Wang Shouzhe in the future.

But he didn't want to, Wang Shouzhe was inadvertently crushing his pride little by little.In terms of personal talent, vision, behavior, and state of mind, he is vaguely ashamed.

However, the strength of Liu's lintel is also the capital of his pride.

But he didn't want to, now that the Wang family has actually launched such a huge development plan, this kind of large project involving thousands of people and costing tens of thousands of dry money, even Liu family does not dare to open it easily.

"Brother Shouzhe, he is only two or three years older than himself." Liu Yuanrui's heart was full of admiration and bitterness. The 'future brother-in-law' started to inherit the family business at such an age, holding real power, started a huge development project with a wave of his hand, and laid a century-old foundation for the family.

Compared with him, Liu Yuanrui is not at the same level at all.

Not to mention him Liu Yuanrui, it is his brother, Liu Yuanhui, the young patriarch of the Liu clan, I am afraid it is difficult to compare.

"Brother Shouzhe is amazing." Liu Ruolei's eyes also lit up, and she said happily, "Sure enough, it's much better than my little brother who can only talk on paper."

Liu Yuanrui's face darkened, although brother Shouzhe is indeed extraordinary, but Ruolei, you don't need to bury brother like this, right?
