After this episode, the relationship between the two has become a lot closer, and even the fifth Lun's title for Jing Dan has changed from a somewhat raw "literary peng" to "Brother Sun Qing".

Although the big brother is more than a decade older than him.

On the way to Changping Pavilion, because Jing Dan was familiar with the history of the county, Wu Lun happened to ask about something: "Brother Sun Qing, the first time I went to the Marquis Qiongcheng Mansion, I took the liberty to inquire about something. ”

Fifth Lun said that there were many relatives in the former Han Dynasty, except for the Wang clan of Yuancheng of Wei County, who became the royal family of the new dynasty, most of them had declined. Why is the Qiong Chenghou of Empress Xuan's family still strong, is there some unknown connection?

Jing Dan said: "There is indeed a reason, Queen Xiaoxuan has no children, raised Emperor Han Yuan in the palace, and is respected as the empress dowager and the empress dowager of Qiongcheng. And the queen of the Yuan Dynasty was regarded as an aunt (mother-in-law). The Empress Dowager Qiongcheng lived a long life, and when she lived to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, she became the Empress Dowager again, and did not die until the first year of Yongshi (16 years ago), which is not far away. ”

In other words, this Empress Dowager Qiongcheng lived more than 30 years longer than the short-lived Emperor Xuan of Han.

Jing Dan continued: "In the first year of Emperor Ping, the Marquis of Qiongcheng was abolished due to the extinction of the Great Sect. After hearing this, Empress Yuan was very sentimental, and remembered the grace of the aunt and daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager Qiongcheng, so she issued an edict to seal the heir of the Marquis of Qiongcheng and the king of the side branch, which has been passed down to this day. ”

Emperor Ping's Dynasty is only eighteen years ago, and the Marquis of Qiongcheng's Mansion is an old tree with new sprouts, but Wang Jianjian's name sounds very funny, and Wang Mang's restructuring has not yet been fully rolled out, and there are many two-character names.

This is smooth, Wang Zhengjun, the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, as Wang Mang's aunt, is a great contributor to the power of the Wang family. After the establishment of the new dynasty, she was enshrined as the "Queen Mother of the New Murmur", and Wang Mang treated her as a mother.

Therefore, the families of relatives of the Han Dynasty, such as Xu, Zhao, Fu, Ding, and Wei, declined and disappeared one after another. However, because it was appointed by Wang Zhengjun, the Marquis of Qiongcheng was fortunate to survive, continued to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and became the crown of Changling's Haoyou.

As he spoke, the car left the dirt road and drove onto a hard, more spacious and even gravel-paved surface. Fifth Lun couldn't help but sigh, he can get this this year, it's really rich.

Jing Dan pointed to both sides of the road and told Fifth Lun that this was the property of the Hou family of Qiongcheng.

The orchard is lined with fruit trees, and these trees are the boundaries of the Qiongcheng Hou's family, extending to the end of the horizon. The central fields are connected with each other, many big slaves work in the fields, the depression is developed into a pond for breeding fish and beetles, and the slightly higher places are planted with sandalwood and mulberry hemp, and there are small pastures for cattle, horses, and six livestock, which is really complete.

This is a typical manor economy, which can be completely closed to the market, and the fifth Lun is a little envious when he sees it.

"This is just within the sight, as for the scattered real estate and workshops in this county, there are many more, all of which were given by the former dynasty and the Cheng Shi, plus the slowly annexed, the fields add up, more than a thousand hectares!"

Obediently, the land owned by the Fifth Clan is only fifty hectares, this is the strong man of the Dou Sect...... No, it's the strength of everyone.

At this time, I saw a wide house in the distance, high-rise buildings and pavilions, where is this dock yard, it is simply a small city.

"That's the Choheikan!"

……

The gate of Changping Hall is bustling, full of guests who come to the banquet.

Qiongcheng Hou Jiacheng clasped his hands, stood outside the lintel with a smile, and looked at every guest who came to the door.

I heard that two hundred years ago in the early Han Dynasty, after the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was still very poor. The carriage of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could not even make up four horses of the same suit, and Prime Minister Jiuqing took more ox carts in the court.

Time has passed, and now the nobles gather on sturdy peons (males) and horse-riding are not even allowed to attend. The horses pulling the cart don't make a straight flush, and they are embarrassed to greet people.

The price of a horse is tens of thousands, and the food consumed for raising is equivalent to the use of six members of the middle family. Cars are more expensive than tens of thousands, which is equivalent to the annual income of more than ten households.

But apart from that, how do you show who they are?

In such a circle, many years of experience in treating people have allowed the hometown to practice a pair of good eyesight, no need to ask, just look at the carriage and horse clothing, you can judge the identity and status of the guest.

Do you see that short, fat, pot-bellied guy who needs to step on the back of a slave in the next car? Lao Cheng smiled and waved with him.

That is the descendant of Fan Xu, the former Han Wuyang Marquis, Fan Zhu, although this person is only a county tycoon, it is best to climb the wealth and dignitaries. Today, I came by Jiance Fat, and the car was staggered and painted, and the Jin Fei was painted for the car, and decorated with silk decoration.

Look at the one who just arrived, it was even more amazing, it was Xiao Yan, the son of Xiao Xianghou, who trotted over and bowed down to him directly, with a respectful tone and a smile on his face.

As the only Hao family in the county who can compete with the Marquis of Qiongcheng, Xiao Yan's battle is very large, even riding in a chariot, and the horse's ears are hung with pearls and red tassels. The high car is silver and yellow Hua left scratch, knotted Sui Tao bar - the top of the car cover is inlaid with gold and jade, and even the wheel is wrapped with good cooked skin.

This Xiao He's descendants will compare Fan He's descendants at once.

Lao Lao Cheng passed these signs, made a preliminary judgment on the visitors, the familiar face directly invited, the face of the face of the face of the worship post, they were divided into three levels: the upper seat, the hall, and the lower hall, and there was a special person to lead the door, and the servants took the emperor and the carriage and horses to park in the stable.

Xiao Yan held himself the highest, and he didn't talk to others, and entered the Changping Pavilion with his head held high. Fan Zhu looked at Xiao Yan's back with envy, and only chatted with acquaintances outside the door without saying a word.

Lao Jiacheng pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip while continuing to stare at the road, and waited for two more guests, which made him frown.

Zhengjingdan and Fifth Lun came, and the carriages and horses of the two were very eye-catching in the crowd of Jun-colored carriages.

Especially the car of the fifth lun, the horse and the horse are mixed and matched, which is nondescript. The car is also too simple, the wooden car has no clothes, several long hubs, and the cover is not lacquered.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the guests at the door, and everyone dressed in Luo Suwen embroidery looked over, their faces full of playfulness.

Fan Zhu, who had just been suppressed by Xiao Yan, had a target for suppression at this moment, and said with a smile: "The Chongyang banquet of the Hou family of Qiongcheng is full of famous scholars from this county, how can such a shabby guest come?" “

Jing Dan is a county literary scholar, and Jia Cheng recognizes him, so he smiled slightly, and his smile was similar to when he entertained Fan Zhu, and asked him to sit in the hall later.

"The fifth Lun of Linqu Township in this county has wanted to visit Qiongchenghou for a long time, but no one has communicated. Today, I was fortunate to be invited by the Marquis of Qiong Cheng to come to visit. Wu Lun finished the standard words of the banquet at a glance, and presented a wild pheasant with bright feathers as a gift.

In this year, people of different levels met and went to the banquet, and the gifts prepared were also different, the scholar held the pheasant, the doctor held the goose, the secretary held the lamb, and the fifth Lun was a white body, barely a scholar.

Jia Cheng had already swept this young man from head to toe, and the total amount of clothes on his body did not add up to 10,000 yuan, which was not as glamorous as the slave maid with a high status in the family.

Jia Cheng had heard of the name of the fifth Lun, but Qiong Chenghou just invited him, and he didn't specifically tell Jia Cheng how to arrange it. That's right, the fifth Lun is obvious in the county, but he is still a white-bodied horseman, how can he be in the same column as the big hao Jingguan on the throne and the Cao Pengli attached cities in the hall? Let's arrange it with the county officials and village tycoons.

Jia Cheng then restrained his smile slightly, repeatedly excused himself from the gift on behalf of the master, welcomed the fifth Lun, and then politely told him: "Please sit down in the hall later!" ”

……

"Sit down?"

Jing Dan was a little unhappy when he knew it, but the fifth Lun laughed, looking indifferent, after all, this was the master's arrangement, and Jing Dan was not easy to put his beak.

Since he might not be together later, Jing Dan took the fifth Lun first and introduced the officials of Haoyou for him.

"This is the county gongcao."

"This is after Wuyang Wuhou Fan Xu, Fan Jun of the city is attached."

Oh, Fan! Hearing a familiar name, Wu Lun's eyes lit up, the one who ate pig shoulders at the Hongmen banquet, this offspring does look quite similar to a pig.

"This is after Fu Kuan, the Marquis of Yangling, Fu Jun of the attached city."

Jing Dan introduced the past one by one, except for Fan Xu's descendants, Wu Lun didn't remember any of them. It is only known that most of these people are descendants of the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty...... Eh, the remnants of the previous dynasty?

How did they all get together in this county? If you think about it, you can understand that Han Gaozu was buried in Changling, and most of the old brothers who accompanied him to fight the world also chose to be buried near the emperor's tomb, and they also accompanied Liu Bang after his death. With the ancestral tomb, there will naturally be a descendant to reproduce and guard, and over time, the descendants of eleven former Han heroes have been formed, known as the "Eleven Clans of Lingbei".

The most powerful is naturally the descendants of Xiao He, the Marquis of Yu and the Han Dynasty have always been the same, after Wang Mang came to power, he only changed his name and changed his name to Xiao Xianghou.

The other ten families were slightly miserable, and they had already lost their positions and become civilians. It wasn't until the fourth year of Yuankang 70 years ago that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty found the descendants of the ten meritorious heroes and re-enshrined them on the throne.

But this group of people didn't seize the opportunity, the wealth from the sky stunned them, and they continued to sit and eat empty, and they learned a lot of tricks to compare the rich, but they didn't bother to touch the Confucian scriptures, and gradually lost their competitiveness.

So when Wang Mang became the Han Dynasty, these ten families had no ability, so they were demoted to a lifu city, which was equivalent to the marquis of Guannei, and they were also marginalized in the county day by day, and could only be attached to the Xiao family.

It's not bad, in other eras, the remnants of the previous dynasty must have been liquidated first, but Wang Mang continued to be raised as a pig, what a burden this had to bring to the finances.

"Hmph, declining old nobles! Sooner or later, it will be obsolete by the times. ”

Fifth Lun didn't realize that this sentence in his heart scolded Jing Dan and himself.

And the other party didn't look at him squarely, so what if he let his reputation spread throughout the county? Do you have a knighthood? Do you have an official title? Did your ancestors ever over?

Without the corresponding resources, what is the use of having fame? Still a little horseman.

So Zhonghao smiled on his right mouth, but he didn't have any respect for the fifth Lun in his words, and Fan Zhu even patted his big belly and smiled weirdly: "Fifth Lun, are you lacking horses at home?" It's okay, you can come and borrow it from me next time! ”

Jing Dan was a little annoyed, as if he had returned to the scene when he was young, when the Jing clan assembly was held, and everyone was present in fancy clothes, but he, a small sect disciple, came in ugly clothes and was ridiculed and left the table angrily.

The fifth Lun next to him said: "Fan Jun Gaoyi, you can say it, I will definitely 'borrow' it in the future!" ”

Jing Dan glanced sideways at Fifth Lun, this later life was much stronger than himself back then, he was not ashamed or angry, he was indifferent to the strange gaze, and only smiled and responded, not ashamed at all.

This made Jing Dan feel ashamed, feeling that he was more than ten years old in vain, and as an official, he didn't see it, so he only said secretly: "Boyu is young, but he has the nature of Yan Hui, a spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alley, people are unbearable, and they don't change their pleasures, virtuous." ”

So Jing Dan also skimmed off the diaphragm in his heart, and decided to be a "clean official" anyway, as he was on the outside, and he would look at it how others liked it!

Jing Dan didn't know that Wu Lun came today to see what potential "collaborators" and "opponents" there are in the county. Now that he found that these ten attached cities have a bit of wine bags and rice bags, it is too late for him to be happy.

Fifth Lun knows that the world will be in chaos in a few years, and what do you care about those useless external ornaments? Just like the brocade pheasant he gave out, the brighter the feathers, the easier it is to be coveted by hunters and become a dead soul under arrows.

Also lend you a horse? Fan Zhu, you wait, in the future, the master will definitely guard the Nuo Dengmen!

Don't look at the fun dancing today, be careful to pull the list in the future!

After chatting for a while, it was time to go in, but before everyone could enter, a group of people walked out in the Changping Pavilion.

The leader is a prince who wears a red dress and wears a distant travel crown, which is the Marquis of Qiongcheng Wang Yuan, the word Huimeng.

Fan Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to greet Qiong Chenghou, but Wang Yuan only nodded, and his footsteps didn't stop, making him very embarrassed.

The same is true when passing by Wulun's side, after all, he has never met, Wang Yuan saw that he was young, and he only thought that whose family was bringing his son and nephew to the meeting.

After going out to the door, Wang Yuan raised his arms and called everyone with a smile: "All the gentlemen appreciate the light and go to the banquet, Yuan is grateful, and don't rush in, first follow me to greet Kui Jimeng, his rider came to report, saying that he will arrive in a few moments!" ”

When the master had said so, all the people gathered at the door again, looking into the distance, waiting for the most important guest.

"Who is Kui Jimeng?" Fifth Lun asked curiously, so that the bullish Qiong Chenghou could greet him personally.

Jing Dan said as a matter of course: "Of course it's Longyou Dahao, Kui Huan!" ”
