Chapter 905: Detective II
Hearing this person say this, the merchant immediately showed great interest, and urged even more: "Big brother, you have to tell me what this Zhao family should be like, and who else has not been cultivated to be the appearance of the Zhao family in such an environment?"
When the man heard the merchant's question, he immediately burst out laughing, "I'll just say that your brother is clever, and you can hear the words in one sentence." It is true that the Zhao family has received such an education since childhood, and in the self-family study, they are constantly guided by Mr., so they have almost become the same. Both men and women are unanimously xenophobic, and they are extremely tolerant of their own family members no matter what, and it is difficult to accept outsiders, even if they show great kindness. ”
The man took another sip of tea, and then continued: "Actually, the ancestor of the Zhao family doesn't seem to be so strict, but there is a slight tendency to do so. But since the Zhao family had a big official, I don't know why he was demoted, it is said that he was framed.
Of course, it's not a big mistake, so it's just a crime and retire early. But the Zhao family has firmly remembered this, since they withdrew from the court and moved to this small county town, they have been even more strict in educating everyone in the family. In their education, outsiders are like beasts of prey. All outsiders are ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned, but as long as they are members of the Zhao family, then they will be much more at ease. “
The man probably also wanted the merchant to digest the information he said, so after saying this, he slowly picked up the tea and began to taste it.
What he said did surprise the merchant, before, he only knew that the Zhao family in this county was a bit xenophobic, and even rarely had contact with people outside. Except for some businesses and transactions that the Zhao family had to operate, it seemed that ordinary Zhao family members rarely appeared in front of people.
Before, he really hadn't thought about what the specific reason was. It's just that, as others have speculated, the Zhao family looks down on others, so they disdain to associate with other people. But after listening to this person tell the ancestors of the Zhao family, he realized that the Zhao family did not disdain to associate with outsiders, but did not dare to interact with outsiders at all.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "But what about the marriage of these clansmen?" Since the Zhao family doesn't like outsiders like that, can't they marry their own people, after all, the same sex is not allowed to marry.
When the man heard the merchant's question, he couldn't help laughing. He patted the armrest and said: "I'll just say, your little brother is very clever, and ordinary people just listen to me, and only you can reflect it, which is a big problem." It is true that it is impossible for the Zhao family to marry a member of their own family, so they simply adopted another method, that is, to turn their wife into their own clan. ”
Perhaps because the merchant didn't quite understand what he meant, the man continued to explain, "That is to say, the women who are married in the Zhao family, of course, they don't talk about it, it doesn't matter." But the women who married in, the Zhao family had already greeted them before they got married, they didn't just marry a woman to enter the door, but to pull the woman's family into the scope of the Zhao family as much as possible. ”
Speaking of this, this person also shook his head lightly, and continued: "Although the wife family is also regarded as the three major relatives, it is really rare to act like the Zhao family, and marrying is a big family. So the hostesses of their family are generally not too high-born. It's often just a small family, or just a common people.
Without exception, once they marry into the Zhao family, they simply move the entire family into the Zhao family, which belongs to the protection of the Zhao family, and of course, they will also be under the management and control of the Zhao family in the future. But in any case, the Zhao family has a big business, and these people are very happy to do this kind of business. ”
This is the first time the merchant has heard of such a thing. He had heard before that marriage was a matter of two families. But the merchant didn't expect that in the special family of the Zhao family, marriage would become a matter of two families. But when he thought about it, he was a little relieved.
After all, there are local noble families in other places, but no family has ever been able to develop into the scale of being called a half-city. Originally, he thought that the Zhao family liked children, so each family had a large population. In the past, he was still lamenting that the Zhao family had become such a huge scale.
But now after hearing this person's explanation, the merchant finally understands that marrying a wife means marrying a family or a family, which shows that the development of the Zhao family is also very fast.
At this time, the merchant couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's no wonder that the Zhao family is a big family, and if it continues to develop like this, they can still ensure the rich life of the clansmen." ”
Perhaps because he felt that what he said was a little different from the purpose of his coming, the merchant hurriedly added.
"I had only heard of the Zhao family's wealth before, but I didn't expect their family rules to be so big. If my eldest brother hadn't told me these things, I would still be in the dark. It's just that I don't know if this Zhao family is as solid as outsiders say, and what kind of treatment his family treats slaves, does the eldest brother know?"
After listening to the merchant's words, the man only thought that he was worried about the treatment after entering the Zhao family, so he didn't think much about it. Hearing the merchant's question, the man naturally answered his question.
"You're thinking too much about that, man. This ancestor of the Zhao family has indeed been a member of the dynasty. As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. When you listen to this, you will know how big the oil and water of this official is. In addition, the Zhao family can also be regarded as good at drilling, and each generation will always produce one or two people who are good at economics, so with the official position of his ancestors, he is indeed rich and expensive for several generations. Coupled with the accumulation of generations, his family's family background is indeed extraordinarily rich. ”
After talking about the Zhao family's family background, this person continued to talk about the Zhao family's attitude towards servants, "The servants of the Zhao family are all used for several generations, and the old servants in the family are passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, the relationship between the servants is complicated, and one is often involved, but there is a group of people connected behind it. Therefore, the Zhao family's attitude towards servants is very relaxed.
Some servants who have gained power in front of the master of the family are much higher than the status of ordinary Zhao family members. Not to mention that ordinary tribesmen dare not offend such people, when they meet these people, they often have to flatter. ”
