After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

Several gentlemen of the Wang family gathered together, and it seemed that they all had great-grandchildren. The old man of the Wang family was certainly quite young.

The old man with white hair was leaning on a sandalwood crutch. The loose flesh on his cheeks hung loosely, and his sallow face was densely covered with age spots.

Duan Mingqing bowed his hands in a slight salute out of respect for the old man.

"My surname is Duan. I am passing through here looking for the old man of the Wang family."

Duan Mingqing was dressed very simply, but his demeanor was not comparable to that of the scholar in Luosha Town. He looked more dignified than the master of the county government, and he was not angry and proud. With the snacks he sent yesterday, the Wang family

I immediately started thinking about making friends with people.

They haven't yet found out what the Duan family is like and what kind of ordinary family can make such snacks.

As for why the person in front of me came to visit?

He must have come here for the kindness he received back then! Repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of water is the behavior of a gentleman and cannot be compared to a businessman like them.

Just one glance at Duan Mingqing made everyone in the Wang family think a lot. They felt that this person had a good background and wanted to make friends with him.

"Mr. Duan, please take a seat! I heard that Mr. Duan is coming to visit today. We have specially prepared a banquet with simple meals. I hope Mr. Duan will forgive me for any lack of hospitality."

This meal was not only the Wang family's welcome to Duan Mingqing, but also Mrs. Wang's exploration of Duan Mingqing.

They are businessmen, and they are officials. This is the difference between scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.

You have to be polite, but you also have to know what level the person is at.

Although Duan Mingqing was a concubine in the Duan family, his father had served as a fourth-rank official.

For a civil servant from a poor family to reach this position alone, apart from luck, what is more important is his extraordinary knowledge and resourcefulness.

Xu Shihui was bound to be injured, and Duan Yuexiu left early.

But the Duan family was indeed prominent, and Duan Mingqing knew very well what kind of style those families in the capital had.

No matter what questions Mr. Wang threw to Duan Mingqing, Duan Mingqing answered them politely and impeccably.

In this way, the smile on Mr. Wang's face became brighter and brighter.

Although Duan Mingqing was polite, he was also extremely distant. As for the snacks, Duan Mingqing said smoothly, "Duan was going to the south and happened to pass by here. Thinking of Mr. Wang's kindness back then, he sent two snacks over."

"That snack is rare. It is said to be offered in front of the Buddha and can protect people's safety." Duan Mingqing mentioned casually.

"But I can't bear to give it up. I happened to have a few pieces here. Thinking of the kindness of Mr. Wang back then, I wanted to give the snacks to Mr. Wang." Duan Mingqing looked at Wang Changshun beside him.

It was the old man of the Wang family who always spoke, and this old man was very calm.

Wang Changshun was flattered when his name was mentioned and said politely, "This is all my father's idea. I just went out for a walk, so I don't deserve such a big favor!"

Duan Mingqing knows very well whether there is such kindness or not.

"Mr. Wang, you don't have to be polite. Let me tell you, the old man has a good way of raising his children, and both of them are very good." Duan Mingqing praised with a smile.

When the Wang family learned that Duan Mingqing was here to worship his ancestors in the south, Mrs. Wang immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Mr. Duan, I happen to have a boat at home, why don't I take Mr. Duan across the river!"

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Duan Mingqing said politely.

"It should be right. Since the two families have such a fate, it is also right to help each other. My family's boat is the biggest in the town. Why should Mr. Duan be polite to us?"

"That paragraph is disrespectful."

The Wang family promised to send them across the river, but it was faster than Duan Mingqing imagined.

However, Mrs. Wang was not satisfied with this progress and even invited Duan Mingqing to attend his birthday party in a few days and said a lot of nice things.

"...If Mr. Duan can attend my birthday banquet, it will be an honor for my old man..."

In such a world, although Luosha Town is still peaceful, Duan Mingqing has no idea of ​​coming to the Wang family to attend the banquet.

But I still have to say something about the situation, "I have something important to do and I have to rush back to the south this time. The elders in my family have asked someone to figure out the date, so I can't delay it. I will ask my family to prepare gifts when I get back. Please forgive me..."

Since Duan Mingqing had important matters, it was hard for them to retain him.

He was sent all the way to the door of Wang's house, and even sent back to Duan Mingqing's place of residence.

Duan Mingqing declined because he had something to do, saying that he would be leaving tomorrow and had to pack some things today.

The other masters of the Duan family wanted to follow, but Duan Mingqing asked Wang Changshun for a step to talk.

"This time we are going together, there are elders at home. The elders don't like the excitement. Just come tomorrow, Mr. Wang." Duan Mingqing said.

Wang Changshun nodded in agreement.

As for the snacks that Wang Shunchang said, Duan Mingqing rejected them, "This thing is very rare, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it again! I advise Mr. Wang to eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt and disappear."

Wang Shunchang immediately said, "Sir, don't worry, I have already dedicated it to my father."

After saying a few polite words, Duan Mingqing took Sun Ping home. Before going home, he walked around the street.

These are all Qiao Lan's orders.

Qiao Lan told Duan Mingqing that if they took this thing directly to the Wang family to sell it, they would be looked down upon by the Wang family, and they would even have the idea of ​​taking it for themselves. They are outsiders and it is not easy to fight with the locals.

If the communication is based on the same identity and status, it is a relatively equal communication.

The Duan family cannot be businessmen, they can only be scholars.

Qiao Lan asked Duan Mingqing not to reveal his identity to the outside world, only to say that he was from the capital and his father was an official.

Duan Mingqing felt a little complicated after hearing her mother's words, but she still followed Qiao Lan's method.

After all, they were fleeing and returning to their hometown, not Jinyi's hometown. Even if they went to the Yamen to sue the Wang family for raising prices, they would be in trouble.

Duan Mingqing did a perfect job and told Qiao Lan that the mission was completed when he got home.

As for the people traveling with us, some had already crossed the river by boat, and some had sold their carriages in exchange for some silver.

Qiao Lan didn't know much about their whereabouts, so she only invited He Feng, who was defaulted by the system to be a team, and told He Feng that they had some friendship with the Wang family and could send them across the river for free, so he let them go together.

He Feng did not refuse.

The one who came and knocked on the door was Duan Mingqing.

Chen Shu sent Duan Mingqing away with a smile. When he returned to the house, his master sighed, "I have benefited from the noble man!"

Chen Shu also had a plan in mind, "Master, shall we follow them to Tongzhou?"

Although the destination this time is Yanghuai, it is not impossible to change it for the noble person.

"No need, the master said that when fate comes, noble people will appear to help you, so there is no need to force it."

Chen Shu walked out with a smile and glanced at the tree in the yard next door.

In Chen Shu's view, most of the children of the Duan family are ordinary. Although they can be called orchid and jade trees, they are far from the kind of saints who save the country and the people.

The noble man in the master's words may be the noble man who saved Beijing.

After much thought, I still thought of the old lady.

Although I don’t know what happened between the Duan family and the Wang family, the old lady’s idea is definitely indispensable.
