This person who knocked on the sticks has been found, should you take Peng Fu up to take revenge?

Yang Cong took a closer look at the two strong men in black, and suddenly chuckled in his heart, these two guys, their faces are fierce and full of muscles, Peng Fu may not be their opponent!

Also, this surnamed Chen obviously wanted to provoke himself to beat him, it is estimated that it was premeditated, and I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss if I bring someone up.

He is not the stunned young man who didn't understand anything, he was not blind in his previous life after so many years in society, he could see this scene at a glance.

This surnamed Chen should be a terrifying existence that he can't afford to provoke, otherwise, people wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in Hui'an.

He thought for a while, and stood up suddenly, as if he was about to pounce and beat someone, so what Chen Gongzi's eyes really lit up, showing a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong didn't rush over to beat people at all, but said to a few sons at the same table: "I'm a little dizzy, so I won't accompany you tonight." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked downstairs.

At this moment, not only the few rich young masters at the table with him were stunned, but even a few people at Chen Gongzi's table were also stunned.

It is rumored that this Yang Cong is not an irrational stunned young man, why is he so "sensible" at this time?

At this time, Yang Cong was still a bit arrogant and arrogant on the surface, but his thinking had become sophisticated and shrewd.

The so-called "heroes don't suffer immediate losses", people make it clear that they want to clean you up, and if you go up to clean up for others, then you have a sick brain.

Of course, Yang Cong's brain was not sick, so he chose to go home, and wait until he figured out the identity of Chen Gongzi before making plans.

At this time, although he didn't know what the identity of the surname Chen was, he understood why the surname Chen wanted to clean him up, this matter was related to a very important marriage, the marriage of the Yang family in Hui'an and the Zhang family in Dongling.

Dongling is only a township below Hui'an County, but the Dongling Zhang family is the most famous official family in Hui'an and even Quanzhou today.

The Zhang family has been promoted to the official family for more than a hundred years, and I don't know how many people and talents have been raised during this period, and there are several county orders alone, such as Pingxiang County Commander Zhang Lun, and Yingde County Commander Zhang Shen.

Of course, just a few people who were county magistrates were not enough to become the most famous eunuch family in Quanzhou, because it was not that no one in Quanzhou had ever been a jinshi, and in the Ming Dynasty, there were not one or two jinshi in Quanzhou.

The reason why the Zhang family was promoted to the most famous official family in Quanzhou was mainly because of Zhang Yue, the pillar of this generation.

Zhang Yue, the word Weiqiao, Hongzhi was born in the fifth year, Zhengde for eight years, only twenty years old to the first middle school in the township examination, Zhengde for 12 years, high school jinshi, officialdom after more than ten years of ups and downs, and finally Jiajing 11 years to be promoted to the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Moreover, it is rumored that Zhang Yue has won the appreciation of the current emperor and has a bright future, so the Zhang family in Dongling has become the most famous official family in Hui'an and even Quanzhou.

The reason why Yang Cong didn't expect this family business is that the hope for this matter is very small, so small that it is almost none.

That Zhang Yue's daughter Zhang Zhen is the first talented woman in Hui'an, and she is also the first beauty in Hui'an, it is rumored that this Zhang Zhen is twenty-eight years old, looks like a sinking fish and a goose, is ashamed of flowers in the closed moon, and is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine, but these seem to have nothing to do with him.

Their Yang family really wants to marry the Zhang family, but the Zhang family is not happy.

When Zhang Yue was just a high school jinshi, the Yang family began to do this family business, and Yang Cong was only a few years old at that time, but until now, the Zhang family has not nodded.

The reason why the Zhang family didn't want to marry the Yang family was mainly because the identities of the two parties were too different.

This year is not the world of the rich, but the world of the gentry, although the hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty is not as strict as that of the Yuan Dynasty, the common people are also hierarchical.

The hierarchical system of agriculture and commerce, which lasted for thousands of years, was also prevalent in the Ming Dynasty, and the gentry class was the highest existence, and the official eunuch family was the leader in the gentry class, and they were even beyond the scope of the common people, and were the ruling class between the royal nobles and the common people.

However, the merchant is the lowest existence among the common people, because commercial transactions must rely on the production of things produced by peasant households and artisan households to have a basis for trading, that is, without the previous peasant households and artisan households to produce food and various utensils, merchants have no basis for survival at all.

The ancient ruling class believed that if everyone went to business, then everyone would have no food, no clothes to wear, no house to live in, and no utensils to use, so the ancient ruling class did not encourage people to do business, which is why merchants were ranked last.

Of course, merchants are not the lowest existence in the world, because there are untouchables under the ordinary people, that is, happy households, slaves, beggars and other people who have been classified as untouchables because of the crimes of their ancestors, these people cannot even marry ordinary people, cannot take the imperial examination, and can only be untouchables for the rest of their lives.

In the eyes of the gentry, there is not much difference between merchants and untouchables, so the person surnamed Chen will call himself a pariah, because his family is from a merchant, and no matter how rich his family is, he can't change this fact.

Of course, merchants can change their status to a certain extent if they have money.

Merchants want to get rid of their semi-lowly status, the most direct way is to take the imperial examination, merchants can take the imperial examination, as long as they get fame, they can also slowly transform into gentry.

There is also a way to donate, that is, to donate silver taels to the imperial court, about 100,000 taels or so of the imperial court will reward a seven-grade idle position, this official who pays the donation is also an official, and the treatment is similar to that of ordinary officials, but the official who pays the donation cannot be classified into the gentry class, that is to say, after the death of the person who pays the official donation, the rest of the family is still a merchant and a semi-untouchable.

Yang Cong's grandfather Yang Rong donated 100,000 taels and got an idle position as the director of Nanjing Guanglu Temple, from rich to noble, became an official, and obtained a certain status, thus ensuring that his family's interests were not infringed upon.

However, this was only temporary, and once Yang Rong died, the Yang family became ordinary merchants again, turning back into semi-untouchables who were bullied by the gentry.

Therefore, the Yang family thought of marriage.

If they can marry the Dongling Zhang family, then the Yang family will not have to worry about being bullied by the gentry, because the Dongling Zhang family is the most famous official family in Quanzhou Mansion today, and the leader of the gentry.

In fact, this marriage was not conceived by the Yang family, and in the hundred years since the Ming Dynasty established itself, I don't know how many merchants have obtained social status and kept their family property through marriages with the gentry.

However, this kind of marriage is generally a woman from a merchant family who marries into a gentry family, and then accompanies most of the family property as a dowry, so as to obtain the protection of the gentry.

This is also the reason why Yang Cong didn't care much about this marriage, because this kind of thing is too difficult, and there is almost no hope of success, no, his grandfather Yang Rong has been to Dongling Zhang's house for several days, and there is still no news.

Yang Rong has been settling with Zhang Yue's father Zhang Shen since he became an official, and Zhang Shen, as a county commander of Zhishi, is not very easy to reject the knots of a Guanglu Temple official of the current dynasty, so the two have become "acquaintances".

And this time Zhang Shen's 60th birthday, Yang Rong ran to Zhang's house in Dongling early, and operated it as a confidant, contributing money and effort.

He just wanted to impress Zhang Shen with his "sincerity", make him relent, and agree to marry his granddaughter to his eldest grandson.

If Zhang Yue's career still does not improve at all, Yang Rong's unremitting efforts may really impress Zhang Shen.

It's a pity that it was this year that Zhang Yue suddenly won the emperor's appreciation, and jumped from the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and he also got an errand to care for Yunyang Mansion.

This Fuzhi Yunyang Mansion is terrible, because Yunyang is located at the junction of Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, this Yunyang governor is equivalent to the military and political management of Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, and his status is very special.

This is naturally a good thing for the Zhang family in Dongling, a great good thing, but it is not a good thing for the Yang family in Hui'an, because the previous Zhang family was reluctant to marry the Zhang family, and the current Zhang family is even more unaffordable for the Yang family!

Of course, the Zhang family was not whimsical at the beginning, because at that time, Zhang Yue had just entered high school, and Yang Rong had just received donations, and the status gap between the two sides was not very large, and there was still a little hope for this marriage.

However, it's different now, Zhang Yue is in the position of the right side of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and a merchant wants to marry him, which is really a bit unreliable.

Yang Cong also didn't understand why his grandfather continued to work hard to promote this marriage, in his opinion, there was no hope for this marriage.

He didn't know why this Chen Gongzi came to knock his stuffy stick because of this.

Maybe this Chen Gongzi feels that his family is high, and the Yang family always peesters the Zhang family, which is an insult to him, so he wants to humiliate himself.

Maybe this Chen Gongzi thinks that his family can't afford to climb high, and the Yang family may be able to climb high, so he has to clean up his own potential enemy.

In short, this Chen Gongzi is here for this matter.

Yang Cong already understood the reason for this incident, but he still had no clue how to avenge this sullen revenge.

At this time, his grandfather was in Zhang's house in Dongling to celebrate his birthday, and his parents were also busy with the Yang family's salt business, and they couldn't come back at all.

Yang Cong sat in the carriage and thought wildly, and after about a quarter of an hour, the Yang family's mansion arrived, but the carriage did not stop, and after Peng Fu and Hou Zhitan, who were driving the carriage, said hello to the nursing courtyard, the carriage entered the huge Yang Mansion directly through the side door, and did not stop in the courtyard of a compound until about half an hour later.

Although Yang Cong already had some messy impressions in his mind, he was still a little shocked when he saw everything in front of him, this Yang family is really rich, and a young master who has not yet married has a big mansion with three entrances, and this mansion covers an area of more than ten acres!

Moreover, the treatment of him, the eldest young master of the Yang family, is more than that, he not only has two personal companions, the fat tiger and the thin monkey, but also two personal maids, and there are as many as five or six old mothers who do his laundry, cooking, and cleaning.

At this time, they were in the front yard of the Sanjin compound, but Yang Cong did not live in the front yard, Peng Fu and Hou Zhitan lived here, and Yang Cong lived in the middle of the second courtyard.

According to the rules of rich families, Peng Fu and Hou Zhitan generally don't enter the middle compound if they are fine, and after getting off the carriage, they came to the gate of the middle compound and shouted twice: "Little Bear, Little Feng, the eldest young master is back." ”

Soon, a tall and strong, honest-looking girl and a petite and delicate, lovely-looking girl ran out of it together, and they skillfully took Yang Cong's arm from Peng Fu's hand, and said with concern:

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Young Master, are you uncomfortable?"

This one?

Yang Cong thought for a while and said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally fell and helped me to the bedroom." ”

In fact, he didn't feel anything abnormal in his body at this time, he was just afraid that he would go the wrong way on this big night, because his mind would be messy, where the bedroom was, he really couldn't remember clearly, it was better to pretend to be injured and let someone help him.

When Xiaoxiong and Xiaofeng heard this, they hurriedly carried him to the bedroom of the main house.

Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Little Bear, Little Phoenix, how do you feel like you have entered a zoo?

Fortunately, my bedroom is not an iron cage.

Yang Cong sat on the delicate carved wooden bed, looking at the luxurious furniture around him and the delicate and lovely Xiaofeng in front of him, his heart was in chaos.

The mansion is beautiful, and it looks very cool.

However, the life of the rich at this time is not easy, in the Ming Dynasty, it is not so simple for ordinary merchants to keep their family property, especially during the Jiajing period, under the leadership of Yan Song, the corrupt officials at this time are notoriously terrible.

Alas, let alone Yan Song, this will make an unknown gentleman give him a headache.

How can this revenge be avenged?

Yang Cong sighed secretly for a while, and then asked Xiaoxiong and Xiaofeng to bring hot water to wash their faces and feet, and then lay on the bed and thought.
