I have learned from Hou Shouyong before that the Hua family is a big family in Jurong, but Hua Zhengfang's shabby appearance really makes Fan Jin unable to believe how big his family can be, thinking that the so-called big family is just a pretext. It wasn't until I saw the Hua family's welcoming team that I realized that there might be something wrong with my cognition.

There were hundreds of men and women at the wharf, all dressed in linen and filial piety, looking like a snowy forest. The leader is an old woman who is about the same age as Hua Zhengfang, and even her appearance is a little similar. In short, when people look at the past, they don't look at her at the second glance. Serious and stereotyped, with a firm look, it is a perfect match with Hua Zhengfang. Although the old woman was old, she walked very strongly, and she didn't even need to be helped, so she came all the way to Fan Jin and saluted:

"The old Huamen Jia family, thank you Fan Chuanlu for sending the spirit of Gao Yi, today led the children of the Hua family to welcome the old man's coffin home, and he should be rewarded for his great kindness and kindness on another day. Children of the flower family! Kowtow to Master Fan, thank Master Fan for his kindness. Jiyin, come here, you are the head of the Hua family, you have to kowtow a few more times, and thank Master Fan for his kindness. ”

The man named Jiyin, up and down Chinese New Year's Eve today, is like being carved out of a mold with Hua Zhengfang, which is probably what Hua Zhengfang looked like when he was young. It can be seen that he listened to his mother's instructions very much, and when he came over, he knelt down for Fan Jin and kowtowed vigorously.

Fan Jin hurriedly let Guo help him, and said that he didn't dare. But the old woman had already said, "Let him knock!" He thanked Master Fan for his kindness, and secondly, he also worshiped his family, the more he kowtowed, the more filial piety he showed, this matter cannot be ambiguous! ”

With her talking there, Fan Jin couldn't refuse again, so he could only kowtow to them, and someone lifted the coffin and prepared to transport it home first, and then send it to the ancestral grave. Fan Jin said: "Old lady, slow down, there are two family members of your mansion, I want to meet you." ”

The old woman said: "The dock is not a place to recognize relatives, if there is anything to say, let's go home and talk about it." Master Fan sent the spirit thousands of miles away, and it always made sense to stay in Jurong for a few more days, and let the old body be entertained. Speaking of which, Master Fan may not know that Hu Laozhong admires my master's life, and wants to run a land and water dojo for the master in Jurong again, the two of them are both in the officialdom, and there is no need to have a meeting, no matter what, Master Fan should not be in a hurry to leave. ”

Jia's performance is worthy of the identity of the head of his big family, the dripping of entertainment is not leaky, neither humble nor arrogant, and vaguely points out that although his family is dead, he has the big Buddha of Hu Zhili, the governor of Yingtian, as a backer, if Fan Jin wants to blackmail, he will not have any advantage to take advantage of. While Fan Jin's evaluation of this old woman improved in his heart, he was faintly worried about Sha's mother and son.

Jurong is known as the southeast gateway of Jiangning, also known as Jiangning Imperial Garden, which is not very far from Jiangning. Although it is a county seat, it is set up here by the governor of the sky, and there is a provincial governor stationed here, which is worth a hundred times.

Hu Zhili is a senior of Shilin, with a very good official reputation and a reputation for being a capable official. At the same time, the other identity is Weng Dali's friend. Fan Jin returned to Jurong this time, and it was a bit of a door-to-door mockery, probably saying, I sent your old friend home to eat old rice, and then came to your territory to jump around to see what you can do to me. Thinking about it, Fan Jin himself felt that this behavior was very underwhelming, but now, he has no way out, so he can only move forward.

The Hua family was caught in the countryside of Jurong, a place called Huatang Village. The scenery of the southeast water town is not only different from the northern countryside, but also different from Guangdong. Like a painting of ink painting skillfully painted by a famous artist, it is full of elegant atmosphere, and the faces of the people are far more ruddy than those of the farmers in the north. Fan Jinxin said: The southeast is a rich place, worthy of being a real Ming wealth center, just look at the people's expressions to know that this place is rich, and being an official here is much more comfortable than elsewhere.

Along the way to the entrance of the village to repair a tall archway, Hua Jiyin is clumsy in the tongue, not good at expression, only said that this is the village out of the people to repair the archway. Jia Shi took over the words: "Huatang Village has a prosperous literary style, since the Ming Dynasty, my Hua family has produced a total of 37 people, five Jinshi, three of whom are loyal to the country. Counting the master, this is the fourth. People say that the master committed suicide, but I don't believe it, the descendants of my Hua family have a pair of iron bones, and they will only be beheaded, and they will never commit suicide! As soon as the funeral is over, Jiyin will write a post asking Hu Zhongcheng to send it to the court on his behalf, and ask the princes of the court to preside over justice on behalf of my lord, and be sure to find out the truth. ”

This old woman!

Fan Jin had a thought in his heart, he didn't think that an old woman could stir up any waves, the dead bodies were all pulled back, even if Hu Zhili was added, he couldn't push the verdict overturned. But if you make such a fuss, the temperature that was originally cooled down will be heated again, which is not a good phenomenon after all. But he only echoed it, and did not express his objection, only muttered in his heart.

When he entered the Hua family, Fan Jin brought Jiyin over and said to Jia's family: "Old lady, this is the son of Hua Weng in Beijing, named Jiyin." Jiyin, called Niang in the past. ”

Hua Jiyin also knows that the rules of large families are like this, only the main room can be called a mother, and the mother can only be called an aunt, even if she is unwilling, she can't help it. Fortunately, he had been educated by Fan Jin before, walked up and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Jia's family.

Jia Shi glanced at him twice, and did not let Hua Jiyin get up, but asked Fan Jindao: "Where is his mother?" The old body wants to see it. ”

"The slave and maid meet the eldest lady."

Sha Shi was already timid, and when he saw the appearance of the old woman, he was even more scared, kneeling there and trembling involuntarily, and wanted to see Fan Jin several times, hoping to get some strength support from this man, but he also knew that this was not the time for the other party to take care of his own family affairs, so he had to resign himself to fate.

Jia Shi looked at her, then at Hua Jiyin, and said coldly: "Your surname is Sha?" The old body knows your name, and it knows your business. You should have come to worship me a long time ago, but it was not easy to wait for you for so many years. Today, all the siblings and uncles of the Hua family are here, and the old man has a few words to say clearly in front of Master Fan and his relatives and friends. When the old man went to Beijing that day, it happened that the old man in the family had a stroke, and the dragons had no leader, so everyone wanted me to come out to maintain the family business. The old man excused himself several times, but it was difficult for everyone to reluctantly, so he had to reluctantly bear this burden! My lord is an honest official, and he is an official in Beijing, so he doesn't dare to take a penny, but he is afraid of tarnishing the name of the ancestor of the Hua family. It is not easy for Jingshi Mi to live in a noble house, and the income is only enough to barely support his own expenses, and he is unable to help his family. As an old wife, she manages the family business for her husband and maintains the situation, which has nothing to say, and she does not dare to call a bitter word. How dilapidated the family business handed over to the old man that day was, all relatives and friends know it, and what the flower family looks like today is also in your eyes. The old body is a woman, and she can let the family business come to this point, and ask herself if she is worthy of the master, and she is also worthy of the ancestors of the Hua family! ”

Despite her age, her speech was clear, and she spoke with a lot of breath, and her voice echoed in the room. "The old man is very clear about his master's character, and although he is an official, he has never thought that the master can leave me anything. But I didn't think that this time it was the old body who was wrong. Back then, when we encountered a typhoon here, there was no harvest in the fields, and the whole family of the Hua family was worried about their livelihood, the old man sent a letter to the old man from Beijing, saying that he had put a tea-making maid in the house in Beijing and gave birth to a son! At that time, Jiyin had just been admitted to the middle school, and the master added a younger brother to him, what can the old man do? What else can I say besides congratulations to the master! Since then, I have known that one day, someone will call me a mother, and someone will give me tea. I just didn't expect to wait so long for this day! That's a good thing! It is a blessing for my family to add Ding to import. Jiyin, you have an extra brother, aren't you happy? But my Hua family is a place where rules are spoken, and when you come here, you have to abide by my rules. Jiyin, you are responsible for teaching your brother the rules, and as for the Sha family, your rules are taught by the old man himself. Now, you go to the back to rest, and someone will prepare a banquet to entertain our guests. ”

The Hua family was very polite to Fan Jin and his entourage, and gave enough face, although because of the funeral, they did not prepare too much meat, but the banquet was also attentive. Jurong is close to Jiangning, and the chef is also a Wu cuisine cook. Wu cuisine ranked first in the cuisine of Daming at this time, the table was extremely exquisite, and several of the accompanying guests were the famous children of the Hua family, talking with Fan Jin and learning, which was very consistent with his identity as a Jinshi.

In the banquet, Fan Jin found that the family heritage of the Hua family is really not comparable to the small family of the Fan family at the beginning. If you count the inmates, it's a little more. People say that culture and education are prosperous in the southeast, but this kind of talk is not felt, only by contacting this kind of family, can you find out how terrible such a family is. This is still the southeast of Jiangning, if it is Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the provinces of Xueba at this time, I am afraid it will be more powerful than this.

At the beginning in Guangdong, the Hong family had a person who could run rampant in Jinsha Township, and so many talented people in the Hua family knew how strong they were to speak in the government, and it was no wonder that they could talk to Hu Zhili. According to these talents, all this depends on the Jia family's good governance and strict discipline. Although she is a woman, all the men of the Hua family obey her, and even the old people of the previous generation are at ease to listen to her command the juniors, not to mention them.

Under her guidance, the Hua family cultivated and weaved, studied and practiced martial arts, and the whole village was orderly and talented. In addition to studying, there are also some who specialize in martial arts and nursing homes, as the armed forces of the Hua family, they will not suffer a loss in fighting for water and land with neighboring villages, whether it is a lawsuit or a fight.

In the clan, the Jia family has a detailed system of rewards and punishments, those who do not study well have to go to the ancestral hall to starve and go to the house, and those who have made grades in reading do not hesitate material rewards, and they have a reputation in the whole village, and even have an extra allowance when they marry a daughter-in-law.

It is because the school style of the Hua family is very prosperous, and the show is these, and there are more children, and there will definitely be a few jinshi in the future. Even the magistrate openly conceded three points and secretly conceded five points to the Hua family, and no one could estimate where the potential limit of this kind of family was under the leadership of such a capable woman.

And the original Hua family was not like this. When the Jia family first got married, the Hua family was the only one who had achieved some learning, and the remaining one was separated from the family and did not interact with the clan. A few of Xiucai are not doing their jobs, and the children in the family are gambling and drinking flowers, and they all want to share more of the family property, and the infighting is not stopped, and there are already signs of defeat in the family. It all depends on the Jia family to rectify the family rules, support the portal, manage the family business, and invite the famous people back and reunite to achieve today's prosperity. It's hard to put into words, which is why she looks older than her actual age.

In the years when Hua Zhengfang was an official, the family really didn't get much light from him, and it was all because of the efforts of the Jia family alone, which almost doubled the family industry and gave the entire Hua family hope for prosperity. For the people of the Hua family, the feeling of Hua Zhengfang's own people is average, especially the juniors don't have much affection for him, but they are respectful to the Jia family as a god. In the family, this old woman is a real man, and no one will disobey her.

Fan Jin felt a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't tell where it was. When he was full of wine and food, the descendants of the Hua family introduced Fan into the guest room and introduced him: "Our Hua family has rules, the next person lives in the lower room, and the distinguished guest lives in the noble room." We are respectful of your noble servants, but the master and servant have no choice but to live in the human room, which is your room. ”

The accommodation conditions of the VIP room are good, the southeast room does not go to the grand scale, but the room is very exquisite and clean, the room is burned with vegetarian incense, there are ancient books of Yaoqin for recreation, and there are four treasures of the study room on the other side, so that people can write at any time. There are also handwritten banners on the wall: the juvenile precept is astringent, the middle-aged precept is fighting, the old precept is detached, the official precept is greedy, and the peasant precept is lazy......

On the other side is the handwritten Book of Filial Piety, which is hung on the wall everywhere, and there is no common calligraphy and painting. The man was very proud and said: "This is all written by my old lady, and it should be hung in all rooms, so that we can see these things every day when we wake up, so as to introspect ourselves." ”

"You all know how to read?"

"Yes, all men, women and children in Huatang Village can read and write. This is also what the old lady meant, saying that if people don't know how to read, they don't know the truth of being a man, so they are useless to the court and the people. So whoever it is, you have to read and write. Just because we all know how to read, outsiders don't dare to bully us. The man said very proudly, "Master Fan's preschool Qionglin, my old lady did not hesitate to buy several books, and specially taught Mengtong in the clan to read them, saying that they benefited the most." A subordinate like Xiao will only talk to people after reading that book. ”

Fan Jin chatted with him a few more words before the servant said goodbye. Fan Jin looked at the words, the writing was vigorous, the skills were neat, and the handwriting was very different from that of ordinary women, and he secretly said in his heart: These two people are really a natural husband and wife, and they are generally very stereotypical and boring. Since this Jia family became a relative, it is estimated that she and her husband have not been together for a long time, and they have a son Lao Hua who came to Beijing to be an official, so it is no wonder that he is angry. But when it comes to governing the family, it is very set.

He was bored in the room, and he just looked forward to Zheng Chan coming to accompany him quickly, and he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he wanted to have some light taste of green vegetables. Zheng Chan's somewhat rough words and hot manners are called Dada's style if they don't agree with each other, which is exactly the spice. According to the degree of this Nizi sticking to herself, it was said that she should have come over a long time ago, but it was not until the time passed, as soon as the door opened, Zheng Chan rushed into the room as if she was being chased by something, and without saying a word, she used her back against the door of the house, and said to Fan Jin: "Hurry up...... Hide me from the housekeeper and don't let them find me. ”

Fan Jin was suspicious: "What? Someone is plotting against you? What a guts! Who, say to me, see that I don't beat him. ”

Zheng Chan nodded, "The owner protects me, several stupid women are looking for me, and it's terrible to be found by them." ”

Fan Jin only regarded it as a descendant of the Hua family, and saw that Zheng Chan was handsome and a foreigner, so he wanted to take advantage of her. When I heard that it was a woman, I couldn't help but wonder: "Woman? You didn't know anyone when you first arrived, what are they looking for you for? ”

"It's just that the bad thing is that no one knows anyone. Those mothers-in-law who owe xx say that I am a subordinate and don't understand the rules, and they want me to learn the rules first. Pull me to read what female rings, boudoir training, I don't know who made up those things to trick people. If you really do that, you have to be a sister-in-law. Those women are all rough-handed, and you can't run away if you press them. I read it for a while, my head was dizzy, and I was dying. I finally found a way to escape, but I didn't want to be caught again. ”

She was foaming at the mouth here, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a woman's voice said, "Master Fan, please open the door, my old lady asks to see you." ”<
