Chapter 056: Family Grievances

"Chen Junyang Xia Xie Clan"

Xia Xun was taken aback, in fact, he didn't know what this Chen Junyang Xia Xie clan was, but Xiao Jingtang looked like he had been beaten with chicken blood, his face was full of red light, as long as he was not blind, he could see that this family must have a great background, and he had to cooperate.

Xiao Jingtang said with reverence on his face: "Yes, the Xie family of the first Xie family in Wuyi Lane in Yangxia, Chen County, Xie An, Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, Xie Yan, Xie Lingyun, Xie Daoyun ......, Chen Junyang Xia Xie family, although since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Xie family has been defeated, but the identity of the family is a famous family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is noble, which cannot be bought with money."

"Fallen since the end of the Sui Dynasty?"

Xia Xun really couldn't figure out what else to brag about in charge of Xiao since this was the case, but he didn't know that the people in the old days had almost no concept of time for the inheritance and continuation of history, and the inheritance of thousands of years seemed to be yesterday.

For example, in the modern era, in the early 80s, a foreign professor wrote a travel book about China, in which he mentioned that when he arrived in a remote mountain village, the local people came to see him, a strange man with blond hair and blue eyes, out of curiosity, and he asked the people in the village with a smile: "Is this the first time you have seen a person like me?" ”

But the old man in the village replied, "No, there have been people with blonde hair and blue eyes who have been to our village before." The professor asked curiously, and the old man naturally replied, "During the Yuan Dynasty, there were people like you who came to us. The professor was dumbfounded, and the old man replied so naturally, what happened more than a thousand years ago seemed to this ancient country with a long history and this small village that has been passed down from generation to generation as if it was yesterday.

In addition to this reason, a more important reason is that the people at that time had just recovered the Han people after more than 100 years of foreign rule, and there was a very urgent desire to reconnect with their ancestors psychologically.

If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't denied it, the genealogy of the old Zhu family would have to start with Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty. Those sycophant ministers underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's courage and mind, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to recognize a great ancestor at all, he Zhu Yuanzhang was a poor herding cattle, that is, Huaiyou Yijie Buyi, neither noble blood, nor the legend of the white snake, he never thought that to win the respect of others was to rely on his blood, but on his behavior and achievements.

But how many people in the world have such confidence and courage as Zhu Yuanzhang? Although Xia Xun didn't think so, when it came to the Xia Xie family in Chen Junyang, most of the wealthy and powerful people at that time still admired it, especially in the Yingtianfu area, the influence of the Xie family was greater. If people go to Jinling today, how many people don't go to see Wuyi Lane? As long as you go to Wuyi Lane, who doesn't chant a sentence "In the past, Wang Xie Tingqian Yan, now flying to the ordinary people's house" to pay tribute to the first family of the former Shi family?

Steward Xiao said complacently: "Speaking of which, it was because the old man saved the girl's father on the way to business, and in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he agreed to marry us, otherwise with the appearance of our family at that time, we would not be able to climb high." As long as people show the name of the Xie family, I don't know how many wealthy families are willing to marry the Xie family. ”

Xia Xun thought that her cheap lady was a big deal to be the daughter of a moderately wealthy family, because the Yang family more than ten years ago was not a very good family, and everyone in this era paid attention to the right family, and the other party's family background should naturally be about the same.

Since he wants to replace Yang Wenxuan's identity and wants to use this as an excuse to return to Jiangnan, this Miss Xie must marry. It is very troublesome to divorce his wife, there is no valid reason, and it is impossible to divorce someone, unless she commits a seven-out case, or she is unwilling to marry herself, and the two negotiate a settlement. In his mind, if this wife was not hateful and obedient, he could still marry into the door, but he didn't expect that his unmarried wife would have a great background, and he was a little confused for a while.

Xiao Jingtang only said that his young master was overjoyed, and happily told about the situation of the Xie family that he heard, and then talked about the grievances between his master and the Yang family.

It turned out that Yang Xu's hometown was in Moling Town, Yingtianfu, and Jiangning Town and Jinling Town, collectively known as the three towns of Jinling. The Yang family is the largest family in Moling Town, and the family is engaged in farming. Yang Xu's father, Yang Dingkun, is just a small person in the family, because his father and grandparents are one of the older generations of the Yang family, so his status in the family is not high, and there are not many fields under the ancestors, so he can only be regarded as a middle-lower family in the local area.

However, Moling Town is located in the traffic hub, and there are often travelers from the south to the north passing by, so Yang Dingkun has been well-informed since he was a child. He found that guarding these few acres, although he would not die of hunger, it was difficult to find wealth, and with the local conditions, if he could open a hotel or inn, or do some transportation and sales business along the river, he would definitely have a wide range of money, so he wanted to abandon agriculture and start business.

His actions immediately aroused the strong dissatisfaction of Yang Rong, the patriarch of the Yang clan, you must know that business is a cheap business, and the Yang family is the number one big family in Moling Town, and is a local big landowner. Patriarch Yang Rong holds the most land in the Yang family, he is not short of money, if Yang Dingkun goes to business, it will undoubtedly discredit his face, and he is more worried that the children of other houses will follow suit, and finally let the head of the family lose control of the family.

Therefore, Yang Rong resolutely opposed it and used the power of the family to exert a lot of pressure on him, but Yang Dingkun was a very determined person, and he insisted on starting a business despite the family's obstruction. This time, he was already relatively excluded in the family, and his situation was even more embarrassing. The patriarch doesn't want to see the people, how can the clansmen not bully?

Those are all things that can't be listed in detail, all kinds of trivial things in life, even Steward Xiao can't explain clearly, but the bullying and harm it accumulates is an endless torture for a family, and this kind of mental endless torture is very hurtful.

As the relationship between Yang Dingkun's house and the whole family became more and more tense, the children in the clan also began to learn to bully the young Yang Xu by adults.

Later, because Yang Dingkun was in the entrepreneurial stage, he needed to go out often, and the most popular and vicious attack methods used by the countrymen came out, and rumors about the Yang family's lady gradually spread in the town. Corrupting the reputation is the most intolerable and indefensible thing. This weak woman, with her own strength, forced the ** and bullying imposed on her by the whole family, endured their cynicism and foul language, and finally one day, she couldn't bear it anymore, she threw herself into the well.

Yang Dingkun was grief-stricken, in the past few years of business, in order to mend the rift with the family, his brothers excluded him, and he swallowed his anger; The family wants to build an ancestral hall, and he donates the most money; The family has produced a few study seedlings, he bears all the expenses, he has done his best, all the efforts can not be exchanged for their kindness, and his wife was forced to death by their spittle star.

Yang Dingkun cried a lot, and after burying his wife, he left his hometown with his young son and the only loyal servant, Xiao Jingtang's family. He sold his newly prosperous shop, leaving only the house that had been handed down from his ancestors. He incensed his parents' tablets for the last time, his wife for the first time, locked the door with his own hands, and vowed that one day he would return to his hometown in a position of power above all the people of the family......

Xiao Jingtang recounted the unbearable experience with tears in his eyes, Xia Xun was furious when he heard it, although he was not Yang Wenxuan, but he felt empathy, he could imagine how despicable those people were, and what an ugly face they had, bullying a kind and weak family.

"Yang Xu's responsibility, I took it for him"

Xia Xun's eyebrows gradually raised, and he said to Xiao Jingtang with a solemn expression: "Uncle Xiao, don't be sad, we will go back, we will return to our hometown, we will rebuild the old house, we will call those narrow-minded and short-sighted villains can only look up at us from now on, and they are not even qualified to say strange things."

Xiao Jingtang nodded happily: "Old Xiao believes that the young master will definitely make the master and Mrs. smile at Jiuquan." ”

"And Yang Xu," Xia Xun quietly added in his heart.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Outside the window, Xiao Di and Peng Ziqi squatted quietly under the grape seedlings, the two of them were originally a little curious about the future young lady of the Yang family, so they came to eavesdrop, but they didn't expect to hear such a story. Xiao Shu held his chin with both hands, his eyes were shining, blinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Peng Ziqi had a strange look on her face, and after a long time, she made a gesture to Xiao Di, and the two of them tiptoed away.

It's late at night, and tonight is the night of the full moon.

The moon is in the sky, the ground is full of frost, and insects are chirping in the grass.

Xia Xun paced slowly over the grape trellis, stood by the railing next to the gazebo, and looked down at the bright pool water, there was his reflection in the water, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

A figure slowly flashed out from the grape trellis, stood lightly not far from him, stared at him quietly for a long time, and suddenly said: "In the world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart. There are things that are uneven, people are virtuous and foolish, and some people can't impress him with emotion and morality, so your father used the wrong method; For such a villain, you use money and power, you can only make him envious, and envy is more than jealousy and slander, to make them obediently bow their heads, you have to put on a set of overlord faces, those villains only fear the fist"

Xia Xun didn't look back, just smiled, looked at his reflection swaying gently in the water, and said, "Is it okay like this?" You are also from a huge family, you should know that no matter what a family does, it is very difficult for the children of the family to resist, because once he wants to resist, he will no longer have to fight against the power of just one family, but the entire worldly force that regards loyalty, filial piety, and benevolence as inviolable. ”

Xia Xun sighed quietly: "The father is the head, the king is the head, and the father is one, so the unity of loyalty and filial piety has become the standard for the whole world to evaluate a person." The clan expands to the general, that is the country, so those who offend the family and ignore the elders and the young are generally the same as the rebels of the country......

Peng Ziqi sneered: "As long as you have enough strength, what can't you do?" If the country is not easy, then it is still the Great Xia Dynasty, where does the Daming Dynasty come from? The country is still easy, is a family amazing? I have heard that reputation is all over the world and slander all over the world, no one can let all people praise you, some people praise you, someone must slander you, no one slanders and no reputation, must be mediocre to the extreme, others are too lazy to evaluate you. ”

"Oh?" Xia Xun smiled with some surprise: "Peng Gongzi is a martial artist, I didn't expect to be able to say this truth." ”

Peng Ziqi said angrily: "Do you think I'm a rough person? Who told you that people who practice martial arts don't practice literature? How can a person who does not practice literature be able to practice superior martial arts? I just didn't exhaustively study the four books and five classics, poems and songs."

Xia Xun smiled: "That's what I said, it's just that as soon as I saw your knife that never left my body, I forgot that you are also a literate and hyphenated person, hehe, when you encounter something, your instinctive reaction is to draw the knife." However, ......, what you said seems to make a lot of sense, when it is time to draw the sword, you must draw the sword, and when you should be strong, you should never show weakness"

"That's right" Peng Ziqi smiled: "The child can be taught."

Her feet grinded subconsciously, and her voice suddenly lowered: "I...... Well...... March is almost here. ”

Xia Xun was reminded by her, and then she remembered the agreement between Feng Xihui and her in March, and suddenly felt a little reluctant in her heart, she gently answered "yes" but didn't know what to say.

He refused to say, so Peng Ziqi plucked up the courage to say: "The murderer who assassinated you is still missing." ”

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Yes, this person is a little more cunning, he doesn't make a move, and it is really difficult to dig out his roots." ”

Peng Ziqi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "In this case, why don't you spend a lot of money to discuss with my family, how about hiring me to send you back to your hometown?" ”

Xia Xun said with some surprise: "You go back to my hometown with me?" ”

Peng Ziqi was a little uncomfortable, she didn't expect her husband to be a hero of the world, but it must not be a person like Yang Wenxuan with serious moral flaws, she knew that she couldn't have any results with the man in front of her, but she just couldn't help it, she was not convinced, she wanted to know what the girl of the Xie family was, what was the big deal.

Her Xie family's pen is really stronger than her Peng family's knife

She had an impulse to see the woman who had been destined to be Yang Wenxuan's wife from birth.

But as soon as Xia Xun asked, she panicked again, under the cover of the night, there was a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment on her face, she struggled, and pretended to be relaxed: "Yes, I have protected you for three months, I don't want you to be killed in the end." In addition, I have never been to Jinling, the prosperous land of the Six Dynasties, and I would love to see it. ”

"She's a girl, in fact, she already knows that I know her identity, why is she willing to ......"

The moon was white and the wind was clear, Xia Xun stared at this jade-like person under the moonlight, and his eyes gradually revealed a trace of understanding and emotion. Peng Ziqi was unable to see it clearly, she was not afraid of anything with a knife in her hand, but now facing such a weak scholar as the Yang family, she had a feeling that she couldn't resist, she suddenly "ha", pretending to be relaxed and said: "I'm joking, are you still serious?" It was not early, and I went to sleep. ”

Peng Ziqi said, flashing left and right, and quickly disappeared from Xia Xun's sight. Xia Xun looked at the swaying flower branches where she disappeared, and muttered, "Woman, what a strange creature......"
