Chapter 471, Yunzhou Trivia

Mingjing talked about the trip to Yunzhou again, which is what Changsheng wants to know most now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two families of the King of Zhou suddenly became rich, rich because of the Huai'an Mansion and her generous gifts, almost the two families of the King of Zhou have not been able to eat for several generations, and the expensive is because a pair of mother and daughter who were originally peasant women were suddenly named by the emperor as the six-grade Mrs. Edict, which is higher than the grade of the county lady, and the Huai'an Wangfu and Princess Dexiao support it, it is simply soaring.

In this case, who knows if the two families can still maintain their simple nature? If it is arrogant and wanton, relying on the name of Princess Dexiao to run rampant in the township, it is not the original intention of Changsheng.

Fortunately, the Wang family has a grandmother and uncle sitting in the battle, and the aunt and a few cousins are still doing their duty, and now there is no shortage of silver, so they can't make any big waves. The Zhou family has a mother and a good life sitting in the battle, thinking that they will restrain the clansmen and relatives.

Needless to say, my father and eldest brother must have understood the truth that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it is estimated that they will not do anything too out of the ordinary.

And Liangsheng is smart and decisive, knowledgeable, he will be the pillar of the Zhou family in the future, and the second sister-in-law is also gentle and courteous, there is nothing to worry about, I heard that she is pregnant, and decided not to go to Beijing with her husband first, wait until the child is born a little older, and then go to Beijing with the child to reunite with the family, and they are very relieved for their long life.

And Yusheng is docile and sensible, and her mother-in-law is a simple farmer, this time she and her mother have made up a double rich dowry for Yusheng, and now she is a rich landlord in the local area, and she no longer needs to dig in the soil.

Yusheng is also pregnant, and I heard her mother say that after she gave birth, she would let their family of three and her second sister-in-law go to Beijing to visit relatives together, and the sisters would have a good reunion in the capital.

She is most worried about Zhou Qiaosheng and Ge Youde, who are selfish, greedy, and shameless, and can do everything, but they are suppressed and restrained by their mother's relatives, and they are excluded from their mother's family, so they can't act in the name of Princess Dexiao's sister and brother-in-law, so they must not be able to make any big mess.

How to treat the two of them, Changsheng is very contradictory. She is always her father's biological daughter, and her mother was able to raise her under such poor conditions, what qualifications does she have to ask her mother to ignore the life or death of her own daughter?

As a mother, can she enjoy the glory and wealth by herself, but seeing her daughter working hard for three meals a day and raising children, not to mention four innocent nephews, I heard that Zhou Qiaosheng finally gave birth to a healthy son last year, and his life is complete.

With her mother's temperament, she feels sorry for the hard work of her eldest daughter and grandchildren, if Changsheng doesn't speak, she won't help her eldest daughter privately, but she will definitely feel uncomfortable.

In the end, Changsheng took the initiative to propose that in order to prevent Ge Youde from making trouble in the name of his relatives, he still did not restore the identity of the eldest sister Qiaosheng as a daughter of the Zhou family, and Ge Youde was never allowed to step into the Zhou family, but the eldest sister and the children were allowed to come to the Zhou family to visit relatives, but they were never allowed to come to the capital.

And she will not give her eldest sister any property, nor will she touch their family at all, so as not to cause trouble again, but her mother can give her another dowry, as much as Yusheng's, and she can also help more when it is convenient for her. For the sake of a few nephews.

Ge Youde was injured and broke his leg last time, and it is estimated that he will no longer be able to run around selling chickens to support his family in the future, but this dowry is enough for their family to live a prosperous life in the countryside, provided that they keep to themselves and do not squander indiscriminately.

The mother was very satisfied with her proposal, and kept sighing that Changsheng was kind and generous, not to mention that she felt sorry for the unconscious eldest sister, Changsheng smiled and said nothing, where did she feel sorry for Zhou Qiaosheng, she felt sorry for her mother, so she took the initiative to resolve her thoughts.

Mingjing said that on the way back to Yunzhou, because they deliberately kept a low profile, they didn't bring many entourages, and they only stayed at inns along the way, never went to the post station to stay overnight, and they didn't show their identity as the captain of the horse to the outside world, so they were able to return to Yunzhou cleanly.

From the day after returning to Yunzhou, until the night before he returned, he had not been clean for a day.

The first to know the news of the two relatives and clansmen of the king of Zhou came to the door in an endless stream to fight the autumn breeze and recognize relatives, and then the news spread, first Li Zheng went to the door, and then the officials and squires of Yunzhou Mansion and Dingyuan County came to visit.

The desolate and remote and inconspicuous village of Nianpangou was very busy for a while, and even the roads leading to the town and the county seat were repaired, which can be regarded as a good thing for the village.

Later, officials and squires from the surrounding areas of Yunzhou and Jinyang also came one after another, and some people found another way to visit Shoukang Taijun at the Wang family, because they heard that Princess Dexiao's real life-saving benefactor was this old lady who was very happy.

They know their names, although the Zhou family is now only the grandmother of Princess Dexiao, they have a life-saving grace for the Huai'an Wang and his wife in the disaster, and they raised Princess Dexiao with their own hands, which is simply greater than the sky.

And Princess Dexiao is not only the eldest daughter of King Huai'an, the first person in the Tang Dynasty, but also the life-saving benefactor of the Tang Emperor, so she was crowned the princess as the daughter of the princess of the county, and she also enjoyed food and food.

When they came, they all brought special products and generous gifts, some just wanted to do their best to make friends with the landlord and make friends with the concubine Ye Lala, and some wanted to make friends with the Huai'an palace through Mingjing, in order to find a better future in the court.

There are also old friends or colleagues and subordinates of Ming Che or Xie Wuya in Jinyang, who continue their relationship by visiting them. After the Xie family was copied and Ming Che was imprisoned, the others were released one after another, only Ming Che was still in custody and the road ahead was unpredictable, Ming Jing once went to Jinyang to check the truth and ask for help everywhere in order to save Ming Che, but no one dared to really make a move.

Although some people dare not commit taboos, they more or less express some affection and kindness, such as giving a lot of silver taels to let Mingjing find another way, saying some sincere words of admonition, and secretly revealing some truths.

These kindnesses were clearly remembered in his heart, and he also told Mingche to let him remember the afflictions of others.

Of course, at that time, under the bloody storm, most people showed the nature of seeking profit and avoiding disaster, some let the house slave or housekeeper come forward to send Mingjing, and some people Mingjing didn't even enter the door.

Now these people seem to have forgotten the past, and they have come to the door to make old friends with the Xie family, as if others should ignore the past suspicions, of course, there are also embarrassed to come to the door, ask friends or housekeepers to come to congratulate them.

Mingjing doesn't want to worry about the past, after the Xuanwumen incident, the blood is everywhere and everywhere, everyone is in danger, others don't fall into the well, and if they don't help each other, they are also self-preservation, after all, there is a big family of old and young behind everyone, and there is nothing to worry about.

But he also recognized which people were really worth interacting with, and respected them from the bottom of his heart, and invited them to Beijing as guests at Princess Dexiao's mansion, and those who could help also took the initiative to help.

There is an old subordinate of Xie Wuya, who served as a clerk in the Jinyang Assassin Mansion, when Mingjing came to Jinyang to help, although his family was not very wealthy, and his step-wife was particularly fierce, he secretly saved all the hundreds of taels of private silver that he had secretly saved for his eldest son to study, and gave Mingjing all the private silver, so that he could find another way.

This time, Mingjing not only repaid him a thousand taels of silver, but also heard that his eldest son was very talented in reading and had a reliable character, so he offered to let him and Liangsheng study in Beijing after the year, and the future schooling, food, clothing, and Princess Dexiao's mansion were all covered.

There is also an old friend of Mingche, who bought off the officers and soldiers who raided the house, secretly asked for some of Mingche's worthless but important materials and private belongings, and hid in his own house without fear of causing trouble, and made an appointment with Mingjing to wait for the Xie family's affairs to settle down before handing over the old things, this time Mingjing quietly brought it back in the salute, and was ready to hand it over to Mingche when it was convenient.

The purposes of these people are also varied, some want Mingjing to take their son to Beijing to study and worship under the famous teacher, some want to be promoted through Mingjing to the king of Huai'an, and some want to ask Mingjing to marry his children in the capital.

Some people also asked Princess Dexiao's grandmother if she had any unmarried or unmarried brothers and sisters who wanted to get married. Some people heard that Princess Dexiao's favorite before entering the palace was her younger sister Yusheng, and they regretted why she married so early.

There are also students who speculate that Zhou Liangsheng has a very high talent for reading, and now that he has Princess Dexiao as a backer, he will definitely soar in the future, so he has come to Liangsheng to pull relations with him.

But fortunately, I probably know that the Xie family came back by marrying the Huai'an Palace, and Mingjing, as the brother of the rebel party, was originally degraded to a concubine and could not recover in his life, and it was also because he married Princess Dexiao before her identity was unknown, so he has his current identity and status.

may think that he didn't dare to make a mistake, but no one dared to send concubines and beauties, in order to offend the princess or annoy King Huai'an, it would be counterproductive.

Changsheng also laughed at him: "Look, relying on women to enjoy glory and wealth is this kind of end, leaving home for more than a month, you don't even dare to steal incense and jade, others may have exhausted their minds in order to give you gifts, but no one dares to give beautiful women, this is too undignified!" I advise you to work hard to earn glory and wealth by yourself, so that it is convenient to hug left and right! ”

Ming gave her a white look: "Little conscienceless, I plan for you, you still make fun of me, this horse will rely on a good wife to enjoy glory and wealth in this life!" ”

While dealing with these people every day, he did not forget to arrange the way of the Zhou family, if the Zhou family did not arrange it well, it would be difficult for Changsheng to feel at ease no matter how rich and rich he was, and all this was indeed done so that Changsheng would no longer worry about the affairs of the Zhou family.

The Wang family is okay, there is a grandmother who has a firm heart and knows how to advance and retreat, there is nothing wrong with it, they have moved to the town to live, and the grandmother has arranged everything at home.

The current situation of the Zhou family is that they can't do it if they want to be ordinary farmers. Zhou Houchun and his eldest son An Sheng decided to buy more land in the village, build a Zhuangzi, and buy a big house in Dingyuan County.

Zhou Houchun also said that he was going to build a large courtyard for Changsheng and Mingjing in both the house and the Zhuangzi, and wait for them to live when they returned to their hometowns in the future.

He said that the Zhou family suddenly became rich and wealthy from a small farmer overnight, although it was the reward of the good fate formed by righteousness back then, it was not some ill-gotten gains, but it inevitably caused jealousy.

It may even be possible to secretly slander and spread rumors, even if there is the pressure of Princess Dexiao's mansion, it is difficult to block the mouths of the people, not to mention that the road is far away, it is better to do something good for the people in the village, one is to benefit the township, and the other is to make the villagers grateful for the good of the Zhou family.

Of course, it is impossible for the Zhou family to distribute money or rice grain from door to door, let alone seek any benefits for anyone, which will only cause people's hearts to be insufficient, and the best way is to do a few good things that benefit the whole village.

Zhou Houchun and Zhou Wang's family have lived in Nianpangou Village for almost half of their lives, have a harmonious relationship with the villagers, know that it is not easy to live in a poor and remote area, and also want to make a good reputation in their hometown and accumulate blessings for future generations.

Mingjing and Liangsheng felt that if they wanted to do something that really benefited the village, they should send charcoal in the snow, not icing on the cake, so the two discussed several things and proposed to do three things.

First, in addition to the summer and autumn seasons of the year, the remaining half a year is drought and little rain, every family in the village has a water cellar, except for the water cellar dried up during the famine more than 50 years ago, it is usually enough to eat, but the crops are often affected by drought.

He proposed that the Zhou family pay for the construction of a large water cellar under the hillside at both ends of the village, and use the rammed earth and anti-seepage technology to build the city wall, so that it can carry water to water the ground in times of drought in ordinary times, and ensure that the villagers have water to eat in the case of famine, so as not to flee with their children and daughters like the famine that year.

The second is that the Zhou family spent money to buy some more land in the village, and the family's previous land was enough to gather 100 acres, and handed over to the clan for management, and the annual income was mainly used to feed the lonely, widowed, old and young people in the village who had no one to support and take care of them, and to help the poor and sick people in the village.

The third is to renovate the old house of the Zhou family and change it into a Mongolian school, hire a teacher, and then hire a person in the village to sprinkle and boil water every day, and invite the school-age children in the village to go to school for free, and the expenses of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and bundle are paid from the income of the field.

I heard that there happened to be an old boy in the village, who had been teaching abroad for many years, and when he was old, he returned to his hometown to settle down, and he didn't want to run around anymore, and he also wanted to accept a few students to subsidize his family, but because most of the villagers were poor and couldn't afford to pay the bundles, he could only accept a few students occasionally.

Not only did Zhou Houchun and his family all agree, but even Zhou Ansheng felt that it was very good, and the cost was not large, but he really did good things for the villagers and benefited every family.

The house in the county town has also been bought, and it is being carefully cleaned up, and it will be moved when the spring of next year begins. Although the house is not gorgeous, it is sturdy and comfortable, and the size is also appropriate, so that the Zhou family can live very well, and everyone is very satisfied.

It was an old squire's house, his only son bought a big house and settled in Jinyang, and there was another ancestral house in his hometown, and after the death of his wife, he wanted to live with his children and grandchildren, so he wanted to sell the house, but he did not find a buyer for a year.

Although the house is only in the county seat, it was built with great care, and the maintenance is always as new, and the location is also very good, but it can be noisy and quiet, so the price is not low, and there are only a few rich and status in the county, so it has not been sold for more than a year, but it happened to be met by the Zhou family.

For a while, both parties were happy, and the old squire simply sold all the hundreds of acres of land he had saved around the county seat to the Zhou family, anyway, the county seat of Dingyuan was so far away from Jinyang City, and it would definitely be inconvenient to manage it in the future, so it would always have to be sold.

The Zhou family is also lucky, the house and land have been purchased in a short period of time, and the house has been almost cleaned up, just waiting for the whole family to move in after the beginning of spring, leaving a large courtyard for Changsheng Mingjing, and the whole family can live together in the future.

As for the whole family's going and staying, Changsheng's father and eldest brother feel that they are illiterate village husbands, who can't do anything except farm and make tofu, and they are not suitable for the situation of socializing.

They are very satisfied with their current life, they don't want to leave their hometown to enjoy any glory and wealth outside, they feel that living in the county is enough, and they are more at ease, they don't want to change too much, and they don't want to go to the capital to live, because they can't adapt to it.

If it weren't for the fact that Nianpangou was too remote and desolate, and the gap between the rich and the poor with the villagers was too big, they wouldn't want to leave the village.

But no matter how much they want to get along with the villagers as before, others will no longer treat them as before, they and the villagers have become two classes of people, and only when they move away can they live a normal life.

It was decided to let Liangsheng's family go to the capital, and after his wife gave birth to a child, he would take his son to Beijing for a family reunion.

Whether it is Zhou Houchun or Zhou Ansheng, they all clearly know that although the Zhou family has won the wealth and wealth by relying on Princess Dexiao, the Zhou family can only be the identity of Princess Dexiao's nurse now, and Changsheng's maiden family is Huai'an Palace, not their small farmer.

If the Zhou family wants to become a real eunuch family, rather than a peasant household dependent on Princess Dexiao for survival, it requires the efforts of the Zhou family themselves.

They pinned this hope on Liangsheng. Only when the good students go all the way to the exam, and when they enter the officialdom in the future examination, can the Zhou family become a real eunuch.

Therefore, the whole family will work hard to serve good students, and in the future, they will go to the capital to worship famous teachers and become famous, so that the Zhou family will completely change their court.

An Sheng's wife was dazzled by the glory and wealth that fell from the sky, and she wanted to go to the capital to live a good life, thinking that Liangsheng and his family were going to the capital to live in the magnificent Princess Dexiao Mansion, and she was very yearning, feeling that her in-laws were partial and her husband was stupid.

also took her and her children into the capital, and in the future, she could also live in Princess Dexiao's mansion for a long time and enjoy the majesty of the emperor's relatives.

But she was reprimanded by An Sheng, saying that she was easy to think of the sky, and she had to go to the capital to suffer if she had a comfortable life, and she cried for most of the time before she had to give up, and since then she has always looked at Liangsheng and his family unpleasantly.

The Zhou family has already carried out the construction of Zhuangzi, and the location is selected under the sunny mountain, and it will only be moved when the spring flowers are warm next year.

Changsheng felt very satisfied after hearing this, Mingjing handled it very appropriately, and the family members were also very clear.

Mingjing said that in the days when he was in Yunzhou, Qiaosheng was strictly ordered not to step into the door of the Zhou family, and after Mingjing left, he only gave some things to their mother and son, and as long as Changsheng and Mingjing were in the Zhou family in the future, she was not allowed to enter the house for a step, and only when the guests at home were gone were allowed to take the child to the door, and Ge Youde was not allowed to step into the door of the Zhou family in his life.

also strictly ordered the two of them not to do anything in the name of Princess Dexiao outside, let alone say that they are Princess Dexiao's sister and brother-in-law, otherwise their mother's family will no longer care about her.

Qiaosheng got benefits from her mother's family, and she lived a solid life all of a sudden, knowing that her parents would not ignore her for the sake of a few children in the future, provided that she was obedient, and immediately agreed, she didn't want to offend her mother's family again.
