Chapter 255: Together for a long time, it must be divided
When the mountains are full of flowers and lotus flowers are fragrant, Huaxi Wharf began to be officially opened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I didn't expect it to be quite busy, and there are a lot of ships entering and leaving the port every day. People from several nearby towns come here to take boats or transport goods, and even people from neighboring counties come here. The key is that there is a large kiln yard in the neighboring town, and with this wharf solves the big problem of their transportation.
The Honghe River is just a tributary of the Luchun River and can only carry medium-sized boats or small boats. The Qian family bought two medium-sized boats in the third room, and while delivering their own goods, they also did some other business. This kind of boat can go directly to the capital, or go down to the south of the Yangtze River. Some small boats can only send people or goods to the Wenxian wharf, where larger boats can be transferred to the Luchun River.
Don't look at this wharf called Huaxi Wharf, it is still a little far away from Huaxi Village, there are three miles. Because a stone bridge was built next to the wharf, the wharf was much closer to the town of Shili on the other side of the river. In order to thank the Qian family for repairing this stone bridge for the convenience of the people, they called this bridge the former stone bridge (Qian Bridge).
Because the wharf was repaired by the Qian family, the Qian family sent a special person to manage it, and a certain management fee will also be charged.
And because of this wharf, Shili Town has become lively all of a sudden, and the business there has also done a lot better.
Qian Manhe saw this business opportunity first, and when he first started to repair the wharf, he borrowed two hundred taels of silver from Qian Sangui and bought two two-story shops in the town. As soon as the wharf was repaired and the town became lively, he changed hands again and became three hundred and sixty taels of silver. I repaid the three expensive 100 taels, and spent 10 taels to buy a thank-you gift, and I made a net profit of 150 taels. He used the money to buy a yard in Xishan County, which was bigger than what Qian Manchuan bought. But he didn't live there, but rented it out.
Qian Yixiu secretly said that real estate is profiteering, no matter which dynasty or generation.
At the same time, the Qian family's Huaguo Mountain has produced a large number of new varieties - golden peaches. When the golden peach is only as big as the bottom of the peach, it is picked and shipped away. Because of the limited quantity, it is only shipped to the capital of Jinxiu. When I arrived in the capital, it was already twenty days later, and the peaches were just ripe.
As soon as the golden peach was listed, it became a hot item, and the price was sold to forty-five wen a catty. This kind of peach is not affordable for the common people, nor can they buy it, and most of them are bought by powerful and powerful families. Wealthy merchants want to buy, but they have to trust acquaintances.
Song Siye didn't dare to grab this business, so he could only go through the back door to buy more for his own food.
When the autumn breeze is cool and the osmanthus is fragrant, the golden lotus root is out of the water again, and the lotus roots of the Qian family are transported to the dock as soon as they come out of the water. There are also harvested No. 3 golden lotus seeds, which are also sold all over the country. Coupled with the fish that is usually sold, the Qian family's three rooms with the other rooms are simply happy.
On this day, Pan Yuma came again, and even brought his grandson Brother Jie'er. They hired a medium-sized painting boat in the capital, carrying a group of more than 20 people, directly from the Nanxian wharf on the outskirts of Beijing to the Huaxi wharf. Get off the boat from Huaxi Pier and hire a horse-drawn carriage to return to the garden.
At the beginning of the year, as soon as Pan Fuma returned home, he hurriedly went to Mrs. Pan's Crane Year Hall. As a result, Mrs. Pan was sitting on the Luohan bed, holding her little great-grandson Yi Ge'er in one hand and her eldest great-grandson Brother Jie who had just gotten out of school in the other, laughing with her two daughters-in-law, four granddaughters-in-law, and two granddaughters, and she was so interested.
The old lady is sixty-two years old this year, and her body is quite strong. There was nothing wrong with her, she just wanted her eldest son who had not been home for more than half a year, and took advantage of the cold that day, crying and asking her grandson Pan Yang to write a letter urging him to go home quickly.
As soon as Pan Fuma returned, the old lady pulled him and cried.
Six-year-old Brother Jie took his two-year-old brother Brother Yi to kowtow to his grandfather, but Brother Yi was still unwilling. He pouted and said, "Brother is stupid, that's not grandpa." Grandpa had big beads on his head, and he didn't have any. ā
Pan Fuma touched the jasper hairpin on his head and said with a smile, "Grandpa is old, and he won't wear big beads in the future." ā
didn't wear the iconic purple and gold crown, Pan Juma had already made the female relatives of the family lose their eyes, and when he heard him say that he was old, he was even more shocked, this is not his character. Even the old lady looked at this eldest son who had been particular since he was a child, wondering if he was stimulated by something.
Pan Juma looked at everyone's expressions, a little embarrassed, and said helplessly, "When people get older, their minds will always change, and there is nothing strange about it. ā
As soon as Pan Cifu and Pan Yang returned home, Pan Yuma hurriedly invited them to his Rong Enbo Mansion next door, closed the door and told them that Pan Yue was still alive, and said that this matter must not be spread outside.
When Pan Cifu and Pan Yang heard this, they both cried with joy. Pan Yang was crying that his hard-working sister was still alive, and while Pan Cifu was crying that his granddaughter was alive, he was crying that he finally didn't have to live so tremblingly.
Now in the five major families, except for him Pan Linfu sitting in the position of the second-rank secondary, there is another person who is an official from the third-rank, and everyone else is below the fourth-rank. In the past few decades, the emperor has almost suppressed these great families.
It's not easy for him to do this second assistant at all, others look at the scenery, and only he knows the sweetness and sourness. The emperor almost didn't listen to his advice, and he was angry and wanted to use his eldest son to squeeze him. In fact, he wanted to resign a few years ago to retire, but other big families were unwilling, and the emperor also needed to keep him as an example.
If Yue'er is still alive, the Queen Mother will be happy, and she will not give herself too much face. He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
When they heard that King Ning's son turned out to be Pan Yue's son in that family, the relationship between mother and son was very good, and they were even more surprised. If this is the case, his family will not be able to run away from the line of King Ning.
Pan Cifu is a treacherous and slippery, resolutely not standing in line on his face, and he has been thinking about how to secretly communicate with the optimistic prince. In his heart, he hopes that the five princes will ascend to the throne. Not only because the five princes are modest, but also because his Yue family is one of the five great families, and he secretly promised not to suppress them. If he can ascend to the throne, the life of these five families will be much better.
King Ning was wise and resolute, and he had a certain amount of power in the army, but his methods were even tougher than today. His background is not good, and he doesn't like to talk about his identity. It may be even more difficult for the five great families to make a living under him.
But with the relationship between Yue'er and King Ning's only son, their Pan family will definitely be branded with the mark of King Ning's party. Isn't this the opposite of the other four great families headed by the Wang family?
He spoke of his doubts.
Pan Yuma didn't answer Pan Cifu's words, but said thoughtfully, "Yue'er, my Yue'er, how noble and precious you are at home!" You can't imagine what life she was like before. I ate brown rice and corn, and I ate the last meal but didn't eat the next meal. Is it a coarse cloth, or a patch and a patch. It is a thatched house, which does not shelter from the wind in winter and rains in summer. Even being called around by some vulgar people, the mouth is not inferior...... In such a harsh environment, Yue'er survived and lived very happily. This is not only because the Qian family is charitable, but they take care of her as a relative. And because she had amnesia, her mentality naturally changed. If Yue'er, who didn't have amnesia, was still the golden and precious Zhenyue County Lord, it would be impossible for her to face such a huge gap and still survive well......"
He looked at his son who was wiping his tears, then at his old father, whose eyes were red, and said, "I talked a lot with Lord Liang and Yu Saijiu in the return garden, and I also thought a lot. We don't hold the family frame, talk more to those who are not deep-rooted, listen carefully to their voices, learn from their open-mindedness and behavior, and really benefit a lot. For most of the year, I only painted for more than ten days, and I didn't even touch a pen for the rest of the time. In addition to thinking about being close to Yue'er and his grandson, he has been thinking about it. I'm not bad, but why is this life so unsatisfactory? Far from being as skilled as Liang Lao Fox, almost everything is smooth. It's not as good as being able to hold and put down the rest of the sacrificial wine, almost nothing, and so optimistic, and having a good time. is not as good as Yue'er's father-in-law, he used to be a dart master who went south and north, and then he was disabled, his body was extremely weak, and his life hung by a thread many times. But he didn't complain, gritted his teeth and survived, planning to live a good life, still loving his wife and children, and treating Yue'er like a relative...... I seem to have figured it out, one is open-minded, the other is mentality...... I didn't have an open mind enough, and although I had great ambitions, I didn't tolerate them...... I also don't have an optimistic attitude, and when I encounter adversity, I complain about the sky, instead of trying to overcome it or follow the trend...... Mind determines mentality, mentality determines destiny...... I was wrong, for decades, completely ......"
After babbling for a long time, he took Luopa to hide his face and wept. His words moved Pan Cifu and Pan Yang, and they also thought about it seriously.
Pan Juma cried for a while, wiped away his tears, raised his head and said, "The so-called long time must be divided, and the time has come for the five great families to break up." If it weren't for these five families twisted into a rope, for hundreds of years, they have influenced the rise and fall of the previous dynasties, and also influenced the political affairs of the first emperor's period, and they would not see us as eyes today, and they can't wait to get rid of them quickly. Rather than being completely crossed together, it is better to be separated. Dad resigned from the official force in a few days, and the second and third brothers' six-grade petty officials did not take the lead, and Yang'er also resigned from the official...... Wait until Brother Jie'er's generation grows up, and then come out ......"
Of course, Pan Cifu knows this reason, but after hundreds of years of marriage, the relationship between these five families is complicated, and his wife is the daughter of the Wang family......
For the first time, Pan Yang stood on the same front with his father and said, "Grandfather, I think my father is right. Rather than being crossed together, it is better to be separated, which is good for everyone. Those four families can't forget the glory of the five great families uniting at the beginning, and they also want to support the next monarch to support these five families and continue the previous glory. Don't you know, this has already curred the emperor's suspicion...... Besides, my sister's adopted son is the only son of King Ning, and the relationship between mother and son is so deep. My grandmother likes my sister very much, and she has always been neutral, and she may be biased when she knows the truth. I think it's much more likely that King Ning will ascend to the throne......"
After that, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been discussing all night.
The next day, the affectionate Pan Juma, dressed in white linen clothes and wearing a wooden hairpin, rented a small courtyard in a village not far from the grave of the eldest princess. During the day, I went to the grave to offer incense and remembrance, and only returned to the yard to rest after dark. This stay was three months, and he also wrote a poem in memory of his deceased wife, called "Silent Night Thoughts". The poems are lingering, poignant and mournful, and soon became a well-known masterpiece that has been passed down in this time and space.
In the past three months, Pan Linfu did not listen to the persuasion of the other four families and resigned from the position of second assistant. The emperor didn't agree first, Pan Linfu broke his head, and the emperor nodded tearfully.
After that, everyone in the Pan family who had a position resigned. Only Pan Zi'an's Rong Enbo and Pan Yang's Zhenguo General could not resign, because this was a title, not a position. Only if he commits a crime and is demoted by the emperor, and then he dies and the title is withdrawn.
And those who resigned, Pan Linfu, Old Lady Pan and Pan Zi'an still gave corresponding compensation - that is, silver.
Pan Lin had nothing to do, so he led his son and grandson to prepare for the opening of a academy.
At the beginning of August, Pan Zi'an, who was attached to the landscape, left Beijing again. Today, Mr. Pan is not only a famous painter, but also a famous poet, and is more sought after by students, and has also gained the hearts of countless women. Because he is so infatuated, his song "Silent Night Thoughts" is too touching!
Before he left, his youngest daughter Pan Yuanfeng came to him to cry and complain that she was having a harder time in Cui's house. Because he married Cui Jinxiu before, he used some small means, and after marrying in, he was not liked by his in-laws and was excluded by his concubine. The mother-in-law stuffed a woman for her husband when she had nothing to do, and now her husband has three concubines and two concubines. And she was pregnant, and she got her mother-in-law to set up rules.
Now, Mrs. Pan insisted on going her own way, resigned from the position of second assistant, and the relationship with the other four families was also estranged. This made the other four very unhappy, including the Cui family.
Pan Juma looked at the little daughter in front of him who was crying with pear blossoms and rain. Although she is not as good-looking as Yue'er, she is also picturesque and has a good temperament. The daughters of the Pan family are talented, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she hadn't taken that stinky move and found a good offspring who matched her identity, she would have lived well now.
Pan Fuma persuaded her, telling her to want to open more, take the children to live well, grasp her husband's heart, and split up in the future. In the end, he gave her a few thousand taels of silver tickets.
Pan Yuanfeng was a little surprised. It turned out that when she complained to her father, her father just scolded the Cui family and gave her some silver, and never told her so many words about living at home like now.
When Pan Juma appeared in the garden with Brother Jie, it was already the end of August, and the autumn breeze was cool.
It was early afternoon, the autumn sun was shining, and the sky was high and the clouds were light. Cheng Yue is leading a few children to play in front of Wangjiang Tower, Jing'er is sitting on the swing under the tree, Qian Yixiu is gently swinging her, and Mingwa and Lightning are circling around the two of them. The giggling laughter of children and the cries of lightning are so loud that they can be heard from afar.
Pan Juma looked at this leisurely and quiet scene, and his heart was extremely peaceful and soft. After living most of his life, he finally knew what he should want.
