Chapter 680: Songjiang Mansion
The weapon fighting between the Five Poison Gate and the Taihu Thirteen Dock rudder has changed because it involves the Lord of Rongning. {See the latest chapter:}
But in Jiangnan, it just caused people to talk about it after dinner, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
In late April, the weather in Jiangnan is hot.
The lotus flowers in the lake have bloomed one by one, and the water chestnuts have begun to bear fruit.
The people of Songjiang Prefecture didn't even hear about it, and they just started to prepare for the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival ********.
Songjiang Mansion is close to Taihu Lake, just in the middle of Hangzhou and Jinling, surrounded by Taihu Lake and the Great River Impact Plain, rich in products, very rich.
It's just that half of the fields here are Zhuangzi one after another, and among them, the Zhuangzi of the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion is the most.
Therefore, in Songjiang Mansion, the official mansion is no bigger than the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion.
The annual dragon boat race is a fierce event that starts from the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, gathers the powerful people of the nearby state capitals, and gathers the best players from all over the world to form a dragon boat team with a high prize.
At that time, people in the vicinity will come to watch, and there will be no less people than Qiantang to watch the tide.
The race is located in a calm body of water on the edge of Taihu Lake, which is also the Taihu Lake Wharf in Songjiang Prefecture.
Although the canal does not pass directly from Songjiang Province, there is Taihu Lake, and boats can enter the canal at any time, so this pier is usually very busy.
It's just that when the dragon boat race is approaching, the general boats have moved to dock, and this side is let out to prepare for the race.
Jiang Sanye, who was in the third room of the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, walked along the shore with his hands in his hands, listening to the steward next to him report on the preparations, but his mind was a little distant.
The Jianghuai Marquis Mansion took root in this Songjiang Mansion in the previous dynasty, and after welcoming the Chu army across the river, the Jianghuai Marquis at that time gave up the future of the family as an official, but in exchange for the thousands of hectares of fertile land in the Songjiang Mansion as a closed field.
In addition, Jiangnan was a mess at that time, and took the opportunity to acquire and merge fields.
Moreover, in order to allow the world to cultivate and recuperate, after the state of Chu, there was more than ten years of time for light and meager endowments.
At that time, Jiangnan recovered very quickly, and the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion accumulated huge wealth.
At that time, the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion could be said to be the richest family in Jiangnan.
But since the former old marquis took over the Hou Mansion, the family background of this Hou Mansion has become thinner and thinner.
Jianghuai Hou Mansion came from the Jiang family in Songjiang Mansion, a hundred years ago, Jiangnan and the Chu army were opposed, the Jiang family was divided into two factions, one faction and the Ji family together, the other faction was the wall grass, and then the Chu army was strong, and the people who followed the Ji family wanted to unite with the wall grass and betray the Ji family, but the Ji family found out, Jiang Huai Hou found that it was not good, and quickly took his son to meet the Chu army across the river, and the clansmen who stayed in the Jiangnan territory were abandoned.
was killed by those exposed Jiangnan Hao clans and the Ji family.
Therefore, at that time, the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion was the Jiang family, and the Jiang family was the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion.
In order to make the family prosperous again, not only the sons of the first Jianghuai Marquis at that time, but also the first Jianghuai Marquis himself was energetic.
But after three generations, it has become a huge family again.
Originally, according to the testament of the first Jianghuai Marquis, there was no division of families, and each family was divided according to their concubines, and they went to the account room to get money.
When the former old Jianghuai Marquis took over, those cousins already had dozens of people, and the old Jianghuai Ye was also a good person, and he was a person who liked luxury.
changed the legacy of the first Jianghuai Marquis, became a high hall, and then took himself as the first generation, and divided other cousins, uncles and uncles.
At that time, the old Jianghuai Marquis was tough, and the houses that were divided did not have much property, and most of them remained in the Jianghuai Marquis's mansion.
It's just that when the old Jianghuai Marquis grew old and was ready to pass the position to his son, the former Jianghuai Marquis, he moved his mind and gave some properties to his favorite sons in advance, and divided half of the industry out.
And with ten miles of red makeup, he married his daughter to the Duke of Dingguo, breaking the rule that the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion did not marry the nobles and royal families in the capital.
It's just that no matter how thoughtful the old Jianghuai Marquis is, he didn't expect that after his son Qianjiang Marquis took the throne, the first thing he did was to join forces to marry the girls who went to the capital to attack the younger brothers who took away half of the family property.
During that period of time, not only Songjiang Mansion, but also Hangzhou Mansion and Jinling Mansion were affected by the infighting of the Jiang family.
For more than ten years, the former Jianghuai Marquis fought his younger brothers, but the industry suffered a lot of losses.
There are many field shops, all of which are sold to others during this time.
Moreover, when the fight was at its most intense, the young son who was sent to the capital by the former Jianghuai Marquis disappeared, and a huge amount of silver he took away was lost.
That made the former Jianghuai Marquis, who was fighting with his younger brothers to a fever pitch, a big blow.
Even because of this incident, the relationship with his sister in the capital has weakened.
The industry was damaged, the support of the capital was also cut off, the former Jianghuai Marquis won the younger brothers, but the industry of the entire Jianghuai Marquis Mansion fell to a low place.
Although it is still second to none in Songjiang Mansion, it is inferior to some wealthy families in Jiangnan.
As a result, the former Jianghuai Marquis never mentioned the matter of dividing the family, nor did he disperse the money, but resumed the practice of the first Jianghuai Marquis, not separating the family, and receiving a fixed amount of silver in the account room for each house.
And after the current Jianghuai Marquis took office, the fixed cost of their houses has been reduced again and again, and now, in addition to the fact that the family is raised by the house, he can also get three hundred taels a month.
Even if he wants to go out and invite someone to have a good meal, he has to think twice.
And the long house, the prince of Jianghuai, but he left his daughter at every turn, bought an oiran and came back, I heard that he went to Jinling some time ago to deal with the scandal of Mrs. Shizi, and lost it, it was tens of thousands of taels.
This made him feel how balanced he was.
Moreover, because of what her daughter did in Huai'an, the old witch treated him with eyes that were not eyes, and his nose was not his nose.
His daughter is still locked up in the family temple, and when she goes to ask for peace every day, she will scold their husband and wife.
Hmph, Jiang Huihui just has no money to pay the bills, and Mrs. Shizi is arrogant and domineering, has no etiquette at all, and actually does the ugly thing of looking for a little girl outside!
I didn't see the old witch say a word.
It's just the power of the Shui family, but they want to borrow the water family to reconnect with the capital.
It's good now, Mrs. Shizi has become a scandal in the whole of Jiangnan, not to mention, the Shui family is finished, look at how the old witch and the Marquis of Jianghuai get it!
YY laughed, Jiang Sanye's face fell again, laughing at others is a trivial matter, and what he is thinking about now is how to let himself get out of this room.
At least take some of the property.
Well, this dragon boat race needs to get more rebates than before.
"Third master, look, there's a big ship over there." The steward next to him said, and heard someone calling at the dock, so he took a look at it, stabbed Jiang Sanye, who was outside the world, and shouted.
Jiang Sanye was stunned for a moment, and also turned his head to look.
And I saw the vast surface of the lake, and behind the reeds, a sail shadow came to the wind.
In front of the head, on the huge hull of the ship, which was already half exposed, a fierce flag fluttered.
Look at!
