If Anyang has become the most prosperous place in the entire Jin Kingdom because it is the capital of the country, then Lingzhou has become the most fascinating place in the southwest because of the many celebrities and scholars.

And the most famous celebrity here is the first prime minister since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the descendants of the Yuan family.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been three prime ministers of the Yuan dynasty, and there is even a saying: "Wenqu has mercy on the Yuan family, and is destined to complement each other." ”

For a long time, it has been a virtuous and clear stream that has been prosperous for a long time.

However, since the ancestors of the Yuan family can rule the world, they naturally also have unique vision and foresight.

Since the third prime minister, the patriarch of the Yuan family at that time, and the third prime minister, Yuan Xiangsong, retreated bravely, announcing that future generations will no longer enter the court as officials, and from then on, the Yuan family will only be civilians, not involved in government affairs, if there is a violator, it should no longer be the descendants of the Yuan family.

As soon as this order came out, Mo said that he was a descendant of the Yuan family who was obsessed with the way of governing the world at that time, and even the government and the opposition and ordinary people were shocked by Yuan Xiangsong's decision for no reason, and even caused a lot of trouble for it.

Many side branches of the Yuan family resolutely left the clan and changed their surnames because of the patriarch's words, and there were also Yuan brothers and concubines who tore their faces with Yuan Xiangsong because their children could not enter the court as officials...... If this is the case, in the end, it can be said that there are all kinds of things, and the ugliness is exhausted.

It is precisely because of this that outsiders can truly see how corrupt the character and morality of the Yuan clan after experiencing the prime ministers of the Three Dynasties have become.

On weekdays, they are all dressed in the skin of the Yuan family, and they are all good sons and daughters who are gentle and gentle as jade; once they are involved in interests, they all turn into evil tigers and jackals, and the six relatives do not recognize them.

Yuan Xiangsong did not explain, but neither the officials and the people, nor the emperor at that time, persuaded Yuan Xiangsong anymore.

In a sense, in addition to affirming Yuan Xiang's cronyism and sincerity to the country and the monarch, it is also a deep disappointment in the backs of the Yuan family who exposed their true nature in this matter.

However, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, so when Yuan Xiangsong, who understood this, took the initiative to ask the old man to return to his hometown, the emperor resolutely allowed it, and specially ordered to build a house for him in Lingzhou, the ancestral land where Yuan Xiang wanted to return, as a sign of respect.

But the legend of the three prime ministers has its true connotation and witness, and the descendants of the Yuan family do have something extraordinary.

The Yuan clan settled in Lingzhou, to be precise, is the descendant of Yuan Xiangsong, although it is clear that he will not enter the ranks, but his ability to be above the literary talent, virtue and wisdom has been recognized and recognized by Lingzhou and even the entire Jin Kingdom.

Especially in the past hundred years, the Yuan family has produced several great Confucians, but they all adhere to the ancestral training and do not enter the court as officials, which is even more impressive.

Even today, the Yuan family is still able to have its own unique status in the Jin Kingdom - it is different from the government and the opposition, different from the rich businessmen, and completely because of the virtue and talent of the new life and admiration.

And just arrived in Lingzhou today, the first thing everyone had to do after packing up was to go to the Yuan Mansion to visit the patriarch of the Yuan family, Yuan Huaiyan.

After listening to Zhao Yi talk about the history of the Yuan family, Luan Ge's face couldn't help but be a little solemn.

To be able to resolutely abandon power and retreat bravely in the midst of wealth and wealth that the clan people can't see, what kind of atmosphere is this, and what kind of wisdom and insight is this?

How powerful and terrifying is this kind of ancestor with super determination, and then the descendants who can stick to it for a hundred years?

If you are not truly loyal, you are a long-term hero - and it is clear that the Yuan clan has spent a hundred years proving their loyalty.

Because he was resting during the day, after going to the inn to wash up a little, Luan Ge changed into a neat moon-white summer shirt and prepared to go to Yuan's Mansion with Huashuo and Zhao Yi to visit.

The second prince and the little marquis came to visit, because they were informed in advance, so when they arrived in front of the Yuan Mansion, there was already a middle-aged man waiting for him.

Seeing that the man was only in his thirties and at most forty, Luan Ge, who was walking at the end, couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pull Zhao Yi's sleeve and said, "Why is this person so young?"

Hearing the question in Luan Ge's words, Zhao Yi covered his lips and explained to her in a low voice: "This is not Mr. Huaiyan, but Mr. Huaiyan's eldest son, Yuan Jiming, the uncle of the Yuan family. With the identity of an old gentleman, unless it is the emperor's uncle who comes in person, he will not take the initiative to go out to greet guests. ”

Luan Ge suddenly realized and couldn't help nodding.

This is not wrong, such as Zhao Yi's current Anguo Marquis, like the ancestors of the Yuan family, they are both ministers of the dragon, but they are only one article and one martial arts, and each accounts for half of the country.

If the only difference is that the Zhao family is constantly moving forward and constantly being used by the monarch to show their loyalty to each monarch, while the Yuan family is retreating and advancing, proving their persistence with a hundred years of perseverance.

Because of this, the Zhao family can become the only prince with a different surname, and even the younger brother Jing Wang, whose grace is not weaker than His Majesty's, then the Yuan family, which is also very light, if they are still in the government and the opposition, I am afraid that they will not be worse than the Zhao family.

In this way, although the patriarch of the Yuan clan has no real power, his status in the minds of everyone is like that of every Marquis of Anguo, enjoying the honor above 10,000 people.

And Huashuo, Zhao Yi and others, just like the younger generations, can't let the old man greet him in person, but it is reasonable.

Moreover, it is the next patriarch of the Yuan clan who greets everyone now, but it is not rude.

Thinking like this, Luan Ge looked at the eyes of Yuan Jiming, the uncle of the Yuan family, and explored a little more.

As if aware of Luan Ge's eyes, Yuan Jiming's eyes crossed the Hua Shuo and Zhao Yi in front of her, especially when he looked at a pair of bright and bright, but seemingly incomparably deep phoenix eyes, and after almost a moment of surprise, he turned into a humble smile and withdrew his gaze.

Then I heard that Yuan Jiming said: "My father knew that a few people were coming, and I wanted to come to greet him in person, but a few days ago, the doctor just diagnosed that the old man was unwell, so he let Jiming come out to welcome the guests. ”

"What did Master Yuan say? The younger generations passed by Lingzhou, and came to visit the old man because of their admiration, and they were already guilty of harassing the old man, so where did they dare to move the old man to greet him? Otherwise, if it is preached, I am afraid that this Lingzhou Mansion will not be able to tolerate it for half a day. ASUS spoke politely, but the humility that flowed between the words was something tangible.

Especially the last sentence, I'm afraid it doesn't seem to be a lie, and it's not a joke.

When Yuan Jiming heard these words, not only did he not be polite, but only smiled faintly and said noncommittally, and then invited everyone: "A few people have a tired journey, and we will talk about it if they don't enter the house first, and my father is waiting in the living room." ”

"There is Master Lao Yuan. Asus nodded, smiling and stepping forward.

And Yuan Jiming waited until everyone, including Luan Ge, entered the door, then accepted the gesture of invitation, and then walked forward a few steps quickly to lead the way in front.

Luan Ge noticed that not only Asus, but even Zhao Yi, who is usually noisy and talkative, is also serious at the moment, as if he is as pious as a worshipper.

The curiosity in Luan Ge's heart became heavier and heavier.

What kind of existence is the Yuan family, which can make the two people in front of them so humble and can be respected by the entire Lingzhou.

And what kind of person is Yuan Huaiyan, the patriarch of the Yuan clan of this generation?

As she pondered, she noticed a gaze as gentle as clear water.

Raising his eyes, it was Yuan Jiming in front.

Sincere, warm, obviously with a bit of curiosity and sophistication, but people do not feel rude and reckless, but seem to be a caring greeting.

It was the first time that Luan Ge had such a feeling.

It's just a look.

Tonight's trip is really more and more exciting. (To be continued.) )
