Chapter 844: The Ancestral Mansion (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The chairman of the committee has been the chairman of the committee for ten years, and his monthly salary is more than 800 yuan, which is almost 10,000 yuan a year.

Every year, apart from regularly sending a living allowance to Comrade Jianfeng's mother, Mrs. Mao, the chairman's salary is not used much.

In his personal name, the chairman of the committee used the money to make up for Comrade Jianfeng's wedding, and no one could find fault with it.

After the explanation, I had a light meal at the county government, and the convoy set off again and headed for Xikou Town, Fenghua.

This section of the road is much easier, close to 70 kilometers of road, only more than an hour to walk.

The chairman's ancestral house is called Feng Ho House, which is located in the middle street of Xikou Town, covering an area of nearly eight acres.

The word "Feng Ho" in this ancestral house was set by the uncles and elders when the uncles and elders divided the family of his brothers after the death of the chairman's father, and the chairman was only nine years old at that time.

It's just that these two words also have a lot of origins.

The chairman of the committee has three brothers and fathers, and their ancestral houses are named Xia Fang, Shang Fang and Zhou Fang respectively.

The father of the chairman of the committee is three, and the ancestral house is called Zhoufang.

In the second year after Jiang's father's death, the elders divided the three brothers of the chairman of the committee, and discussed the classification of the salt shop into one family, and the ancestral house into two families.

In fact, at this time, the chairman's younger brother had already died early, and the only brothers in the family were him and his half-brother Jiang Jieqing.

The reason why the elders are so divided is only because the salt shop has the highest value, and it is not easy to divide, so they deliberately set up an extra name.

The elders of the Jiang clan belonged to the "Zhou" generation in the genealogy of the chairman of the committee from the father's generation "Zhou Fang" and the generation of the chairman of the committee, and pushed to Fengyi and Haojing, the capitals of the two emperors of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and each took the first word as the name of the house, and the ancestral house assigned to the chairman was named "Fengfang".

The ancestral house assigned to the third brother Jiang Ruiqing is called "Pickaxe House." ”

Due to the early death of the third brother, he was succeeded by the half-brother and the chairman of the committee.

The eldest half-brother Jiang Jieqing inherited the Jiang salt shop.

Don't underestimate this salt shop, it is much more valuable than the Jiang family's ancestral house.

When Jiang's father died, it was still the twenty-first year of Guangxu, and Cixi was still the one who had the final say in the Forbidden City, and the Qing Dynasty was relatively stable.

Salt was one of the main sources of tax revenue in the Qing Dynasty, and not everyone was qualified to open a salt shop.

The Jiang family can become one of the top ten wealthy families in Xikou Town, and Jiang's father can save such a big family business for the two brothers, all of which are earned back by this salt shop.

After the death of Jiang's father, in order to fight for the inheritance of this salt shop, the chairman's eldest brother Jiang Jieqing also had a lot of disputes with his stepmother, that is, the chairman's biological mother, Mrs. Wang.

In the end, the salt shop belonged to Jiang Jieqing, and a large amount of money was given to him from Jiang's father's bequest, so that Jiang Jieqing could repair another house, and the ancestral house and land property belonged to the chairman.

Later generations commented that the ancestors of the Jiang family took the words "Feng" and "pickaxe" as the name of the house, and implied that the Jiang family had the appearance of an emperor.

Actually, it's just a good omen.

Later, when the chairman of the committee chose the characters for Prince Jiang and his adopted son Weiguo, it was based on the name of the ancestral house.

Prince Jiang's word "Jianfeng", and his adopted son's word "Jianhao"!

That's what makes sense.

The car stopped in front of Jiang's house, and the neighbors passing by only glanced at it, and then went about it on their own, without much curiosity.

Because they have seen so many scenes like this.

During the New Year's Festival, coinciding with the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-qing, who was watching a play in the town, heard that the chairman of the committee had been killed, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Because the chairman of the NPC committee was injured in the incident and the incident had not yet been resolved, it was not until April that the chairman personally went to Xikou to pay for the funeral.

The main dignitaries of the Kuomintang all came to mourn.

Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, etc., are among them.

The trolleys alone were lined up for miles away.

So the neighborhood is no longer surprised.

Hearing the movement outside the door, the door of the house was opened, and an old mother saw the car and shouted "Distinguished guest comes to the door", so she went in to report.

Wang Shihe was not polite, let the entourage carry his luggage, and took Fang Buwei into the gate.

Just after the dawn, a slightly blessed old lady walked out of the inner house with a pair of young men and women.

The old lady is naturally Mrs. Mao, the wife of the chairman.

She was five years older than the chairman of the committee, and when she was 19 years old, she became close to the chairman of the committee who was just 14 years old, but she gave birth to Comrade Jianfeng ten years later.

Do the math, it's fifty-six this year.

The man is a little thin, and he looks like the chairman of the committee, and the woman has chestnut hair and blue eyes, which is quite delicate.

There was also a little boy who had just learned to walk, and was held by an old lady.

This is Comrade Jianfeng and his wife Jiang Fangliang, as well as their eldest son Jiang Xiaowen.

The names of Jiang Fangliang and Jiang Xiaowen were personally given by the chairman of the NPC National Committee after returning to China in April.

"Cousin!" Wang Shihe greeted him and helped the old lady.

The two families of King Jiang have a deep relationship, and they are not only relatives, but also master and servant.

Since Wang Shihe's great-grandfather, he is the apprentice of the Jiang family's Yutai salt shop.

In the chairman's father's generation, the shopkeeper of the salt shop is Wang Shihe's uncle Wang Xiandong.

At that time, Jiang's father had lost his wife for several years, and Wang Xiandong was the matchmaker, saying that his cousin Wang Caiyu, who had been widowed for several years, and became Jiang's father's house.

Two years later, the chairman of the committee was born, and the shopkeeper of the salt shop was replaced by Wang Xiandong's younger brother, that is, Wang Shihe's grandfather.

When the chairman of the committee went out to study, the shopkeeper of the Jiang family's salt shop became Wang Shihe's father, Wang Lianghe.

Wang Lianghe is a few years older than the chairman of the NPC National Committee, and the two grew up together.

After the chairman returned to China, he served as the head of the Fifth Regiment in the Shanghai Military Governor Chen Qimei's department, and felt that he had no cronies to use, so he summoned his cousin Wang Lianghe to his side and served as a service soldier.

When leaving Xikou, Wang Lianghe sent twelve-year-old Wang Shihe to the salt shop as an apprentice.

Although Jiang Jieqing did not agree with his stepmother, he still had to take care of filial piety, and the chairman was not there, so he could only take care of the family.

Wang Shihe was often sent to the ancestral house to run errands for Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Mao, and over time, the old lady handed over the big and small things outside the house to this nephew.

Wang Shihe is loyal and deeply respected by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Mao.

Eleven years later, the old lady died, and the chairman went home to mourn, and when he left, he took Wang Shihe away and let him take over his father's position, and stayed by his side to be the head of the guard.

This work has been done for another sixteen years.

Do the math, Wang Shihe is now nine years old Chinese New Year's Eve and has served the Jiang family for twenty-seven years.

The whole Jiang family, including the chairman of the committee, has regarded him as an indispensable member of the Jiang family.

"Cousin!" When the old lady finished talking to Wang Shihe in tears, Comrade Jianfeng shouted again.

Since getting married, the chairman of the committee has spent only a handful of days in his hometown, and in those days, how could a woman from such a portal show her head all day long?

Jiang Jieqing didn't care too much, so the stall of the Jiang family's old house has always been taken care of by Wang Shihe.
