(002) Huangshang Yunjia
Jiangnan is rich and well-known throughout the country.
The Huangshang Yun family is also a century-old family in the south of the Yangtze River, although the folk saying is that it is not rich for three generations. But so far, it seems that the Yun family has not only been rich for three generations, but also has a tendency to become more and more prosperous.
All this has a lot to do with the inheritance of the Yun family, the concept of the Yun family's business is continuous innovation, and every year the fabric has a great breakthrough in weaving and blending technology.
Even if the Yun family is not an imperial merchant now, the fabric business will be very good, and the name of the imperial merchant is just icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow.
In recent years, the Yun family has participated in the business of the imperial grain comprador, which has made a new breakthrough in its own business sector. The economic status of the Yun family in Jiangnan immediately rose to the richest man in Jiangnan.
Yun Chengyuan and his current wife are childhood sweethearts.
After the two got married, they gave birth to four children, and Yun Chengyuan's idea was that it was best to have a boy and a girl, focusing on training, and there were not many children, and only by carefully raising them could they become a big tool.
As a result, Mrs. Yun gave birth to three sons in a row, and if other big families were to be very happy. But the Yun family is already prosperous, and there are no two men behind. has never had a daughter, Yun Chengyuan and his wife are unwilling.
It wasn't until ten years after marriage that Mrs. Yun finally gave birth to a daughter, and the whole family celebrated. When it is larger than growing seeds, the pomp is much larger.
Later, Yun Chengyuan specially invited a high-ranking monk to approve his daughter's eight characters and named him Yun Xiangrong.
This eminent monk is also very interesting.
Back then, it was the housekeeper of the Yun family who took the eight characters of Yun Xiangrong and asked the monk to give him a name.
A few days later, the monk replied, saying that it was for the sake of prudence that he wanted to see the baby before making a judgment.
Yun Chengyuan felt that a 100-day baby girl, what was there to see, her appearance was not finalized, but the senior monk had already spoken, and he also had a request for others, so it didn't hurt to take a look.
When the monk came that day, he was dressed very formally, and when he saw Yun Xiangrong, he pondered for a long time.
said: "The girl's life is smooth and rich. Fate looks like there is a chance of great wealth. ”
Steward Yun was also present at that time, and said half-jokingly: "Could it be that there will be another Mrs. Hou in our Yun family?" ”
From the point of view of the Yun family, Yun Xue can become the wife of the Hou Mansion, there are too many coincidences, no matter how rich the Yun family is, it is also a businessman, and its social status has certain limitations. Yun Xue should be the highest status that a woman from the Shangjia family can achieve.
The monk said, "More than that. ”
The housekeeper also wanted to ask, but the monk said, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." ”
Yun Chengyuan saw that the monk didn't want to say it, so he didn't mean to force it, in fact, he heard the monk say that his daughter had a smooth life, and he was already very content.
As a result, the senior monk seemed to see through Yun Chengyuan's thoughts, and said to Yun Chengyuan: "The old man understands that the donor doesn't want the girl to be rich. But if you want to have a smooth life, you must set up a family affair before the girl is sixteen years old, otherwise she must marry far away, and if the matter is not handled well, there will be a lawsuit. The worst condition is a lifetime of loneliness. ”
The housekeeper listened a little uncomfortable, how did this start to say that it was okay, and finally the conclusion became a lonely life.
Yun Chengyuan understood the meaning of the monk, many so-called fates also lie in choice, fate just gives opportunities, what to do in the end, it still depends on herself, Yun Xue is not, if she didn't choose to marry Hou Ye back then, then now she is a businessman's wife.
In the end, before going out, the monk specially instructed Yun Chengyuan that he must cultivate a good girl, she is the lucky star of the Yun family, no matter what, the Yun family will definitely benefit a lot in the future.
Criticizing the matter of eight characters, only Yun Chengyuan and his wife and the housekeeper knew, at that time they were just asking for peace, and when they heard the monk say that Yun wanted to have a smooth life, he was satisfied, and as for the fact that he later said that things like great wealth and nobility were not particularly serious.
The matter of great wealth can only be said to be in your life, but it may not appear.
Objectively speaking, the Yun family has always attached great importance to the cultivation of women, and they will do a good job without mentioning it from a senior monk, or even treat them equally. Therefore, the daughters of the Yun family do not worry about getting married, each of them is married very well, and the Yun Chengyuan couple has never worried about family affairs.
However, this monk has one thing that has been fulfilled, that is, Yun Xiangrong is really the lucky star of the Yun family, the year she was born, the Yun family was falsely accused of encroaching on land for many years and won the lawsuit, and since then the Yun family's business has developed new every year.
Xiaoyun Xiangrong grew up under the care of his three elder brothers, and now the three elder brothers have all married. The two elder brothers have also helped Yun Chengyuan to bear most of the family's affairs.
The eldest brother, Yun Weijie, is mainly responsible for the procurement of fabrics at home. When they got married, their wife was the daughter of the county commander's family. At present, the prefectural magistrate has been promoted to the rank of governor.
A suitable marriage is beneficial, and the county order can be promoted to the governor in just a few years, which can be said to be very fast, and the Yun family has contributed a lot to it, not only with money, but also from relationships.
The second brother, Yun Weiye, is mainly responsible for the innovation of textile technology at home. Mrs. is the daughter of the Zhang family of medicinal herbs.
The third brother, Yun Weifeng, just won the Jinshi last year, and is still studying hard, hoping to be in the two Jinshi, and it is best to be appointed by the imperial court to return to Jiangnan in the future. His wife is the daughter of the Chen family, the king of the land.
Because Yun Xiangrong has been with her brothers for a long time since she was a child, her personality is more like a boy, speaking directly and heartily. However, it is good to say that the little girl is simple and kind, and if it is not good, she has no scheming, and once she meets someone who is scheming, she will be deceived.
is afraid that his sister will be deceived, and the three elder brothers always say that people outside are ill-intentioned, which makes Yun Xiangrong develop a cautious character.
The pampered daughter is very caring and coquettish, Yun Chengyuan and his wife are very reluctant to marry their daughter, and as soon as this matter is delayed, it will be the age when Yun Xiangrong is eighteen years old.
In the past few years, Yun Chengyuan has entered Beijing to do business, and he will always go to the Hou Mansion to pay a visit, whenever he sees Yun Xue, Yun Xue will always deliberately inquire about Yun Xiangrong's situation, Yun Chengyuan knows his cousin's intentions, and his heart says that this is really accurate by the monk, Yun Xiangrong has the opportunity to marry into the capital.
It's just that the current Yun family is many times stronger than more than ten years ago, Yun Chengyuan is reluctant to marry his only daughter to the capital so far away, even if it is a woman in his own family, she has to consult others, and the Yun family does not just need to marry with the official eunuchs in the capital.
Yun Chengyuan knew that Yun Xue also had good intentions, so he also directly expressed his thoughts. Yun Xue didn't bother anymore, after all, everyone has their own values and choices, and others have no right to interfere.
The eighteen changes of the female university, the more she changes, the better she looks, Yun Xiangrong is in the mood for flowers, and she has the posture of closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, sinking fish and geese. The old people in the family recognized that the most beautiful woman in the Yun family was Yun Xue before, but now they think that the most beautiful woman is Yun Xiangrong.
Even if the two of them are also in their twentieth year, Yun Xiangrong is three points more beautiful than Yun Xue.
Yun Chengyuan has not been in a hurry about his daughter's marriage, but his daughter's family is eighteen years old, if she is not married, someone will talk behind her back, Yun Xiangrong is eighteen years old, and he has to put family affairs on the agenda.
Although Yun Chengyuan is reluctant to marry his daughter, he is also a person with a plan, and he already has a son-in-law candidate in his heart. Objectively speaking, Yun Chengyuan is not only very concerned about his children's marriage, but also has a very good vision.
Yun Xiangrong's three elder brothers are good examples, all married and beautiful.
In addition to the Yun family in Jiangnan, there are three big families, all of which are also from merchants, the Zhang family of medicinal materials, the Chen family of the king of the earth, and the Zhao family of Yantai. All three of these families have marriageable men, and they are already moving around a bit.
In the past few years, the Yun family and the Zhang family and the Zhao family have been married, and they have moved around more, and these three families have marriageable men, and everyone knows the roots.
When Yun Chengyuan vaguely said to the three families that he had the intention of marrying a daughter, the three families wanted to marry the Yun family, in fact, the three families knew Yun Chengyuan too well, and knew that if Yun Chengyuan didn't want to marry a daughter, whoever proposed would be rejected, so everyone was ugly, even if they had intentions, no one took the initiative to propose.
Yun Chengyuan's ideal son-in-law is Zhao Xinyan of the Zhao family, not because the Yun family is already married to the Zhang family and the Chen family, so there is no need to kiss each other. But because the Zhao family has strict rules and is a scholarly family, they will never treat their daughters badly, let alone spoil concubines and kill wives in the backyard, and there will be intrigues.
Some people may think that Zhao Xinyan and Yun Xiangrong are not a good match, not only because the Zhao family is the weakest among the four major families, but also because Zhao Xinyan himself is the youngest son of the wife of the head of the family.
Zhao Xinyan once participated in the scientific examination and only won the show, I have not heard of the news of continuing the examination, nor have I participated in the family business, outsiders seem to be marginalized, and there is no development prospect.
Yun Xiangrong is a daughter carefully cultivated by the Yun family, and she is excellent in all aspects.
But Yun Chengyuan really didn't think so, he had an in-depth understanding of Zhao Xinyan, this kid didn't fail to pass the test, but the family decided not to let him take the test, because he had an irreplaceable position in the family.
Those who do inkstone business must have a very high level of cognition of the identification of inkstones, but it is a pity that the children of the Zhao family's generation have produced such a talent as Zhao Xinyan.
Therefore, Zhao Xinyan will be trained at home, after all, the external appraiser has the peace of mind of his own use.
Yun Chengyuan took a fancy to Zhao Xinyan's skills, coupled with his understanding of his character, so he decided to marry his daughter to him. He only hopes that his daughter will be smooth and smooth, and he does not need the majesty of the wife of the head of the house.
Yun Chengyuan told his daughter about this, Yun Xiangrong had seen Zhao Xinyan, and the Zhao Xinyan in his memory was handsome and mild, although the two had no contact, they had a good impression of each other.
Yun Xiangrong's brothers know Zhao Xinyan very well about his status in the Zhao family, and they know that marrying into the Zhao family with the character of their sister will not suffer. Besides, Yun Xiangrong's dowry is enough for these two people to eat for a lifetime.
will not touch a dime of the Zhao family, coupled with the support behind the Yun family, this marriage will definitely be smooth.
The head of the Zhao family knew that the Yun family had married the only daughter of the head of the family, and he was a little surprised, and he felt that he had climbed high, but then he understood Yun Chengyuan's expectations, and knew in his heart that Zhao Xinyan was the best candidate.
The original plan was that the two families would approve the children's eight characters first, and then find a master to see an auspicious day of the zodiac and then come to propose, prepare for a few months, and then handle the marriage early next year.
But the unexpected will always happen.
