Chapter 103: Children of the Zhang Family

After half an hour of bumpy journey, Yue Feng took a carriage, and finally came to a mountain villa in the suburbs of the Seven Princes, after showing the invitation to the guards under the mountain, Yue Feng was respectfully released, and walked for about a stick of incense, a breathtaking manor suddenly appeared in front of him, as if it was scattered on the mountainside like Qiong Yao's fairyland, with the afterglow of the sunset, showing a gorgeous and charming beauty.

This Seven Princes is a very sentimental person, Yue Feng stepped into this magnificent manor with such an exclamation.

Walking into the manor of the Seven Princes, the architectural style here is a little different from what Yue Feng has ever seen, although it is the same elaborate carving, magnificent, layered and tired, flying pavilion liudan, it can be seen that it must be from the handwriting of a famous master; But compared with the solemnity and solemnity in the palace, the easy-going gratitude in the three princesses, and the domineering and gorgeous princess, there is more of a kind of elegance and tranquility here, and the bookish atmosphere is more sufficient.

Looking at the exquisite arrangement around him, Yue Feng couldn't help but think of the evaluation of the Seven Princes, the Seven Princes were not yet over twenty years old, and they were about the same age as Yue Feng, but coincidentally, like the Seven Princesses, he was also praised for his talents, so he became famous; However, compared with the slightly withdrawn personality of the Seventh Princess, the Seventh Prince is more cheerful and easy-going, often deigns to attend some gatherings, and also sponsors some students from poor families to study, and even often opens his study room for readers to borrow for free, which makes him highly respected among readers.

Walking through the garden, through the corridor, the turnstile courtyard, and after walking for a while, Yue Feng came to the place where the poetry meeting was held under the leadership of the pretty maid, which was already full of long wooden tables at this time, with exquisite pastries and melons and fruits on it.

Fortunately, this time he didn't have to be like last time, he didn't know where he was sitting, under the respectful guidance of the pretty maid, he strolled to the front seat, after realizing that his seat was only four or five people away from the main table, Yue Feng was even more surprised in his heart, but his face did not show anything, but sat down generously, and this move naturally attracted the attention of many people; Facing the curious and inquiring gazes of others, Yue Feng smiled calmly and responded with a gentle smile.

But unlike his mildness, some people smiled to show their favor, while others turned their heads away and even glared angrily, as if to say that he had any qualifications to sit in this position; Yue Feng didn't care about this, smiled casually, and continued to look at the crowd; And right here, he was not surprised to see Su Yufeng's figure, the other party is a great talent, although he is a little unworthy of the name, but how can this kind of poetry be without his participation.

Yue Feng and Su Yufeng's eyes met in the air, both of them were humble and gentle, but Yue Feng still saw that the resentment and coldness hidden on Su Yufeng's smiling face, Yue Feng took a sip of the teacup, and secretly shook his head and sighed, "It seems that this time I can't have a good and simple meal", but this poetry meeting is already full of weirdness, and I don't worry about adding another one.

"I have heard for a long time that the son of Yue is talented and extraordinary, and it is really an honor to be able to see him today; In the next Zhang Heng, thank you Brother Yue for sending charcoal in the snow to our family, and I will take this thin wine to express my gratitude to Brother Yue! Just as Yue Feng was pondering, a young man beside him suddenly raised his glass and came to him and bowed deeply to him.

"Brother Zhang is polite, I don't know what the relationship between Shopkeeper Zhang and you is?" Yue Feng hurriedly stood up, helped the young man up with both hands, and said quite kindly.

Yue Feng didn't ask the other party how he knew himself, after all, he had already identified himself, it was so simple, if you thought about it, you could understand that now the only person surnamed Zhang who has been in contact with him is the shopkeeper Zhang, and the other party also said that he expressed his gratitude on behalf of the family, and the surname Zhang is a family, who else can there be in the Zhang family of the four major families in Jiangnan.

"That's my uncle!"

Zhang Heng replied, and at the same time looked at Yue Feng seriously, quietly looking; Not long ago, Uncle Zhang, who had not been very valued in the family and was sent to do business, stepped forward when the family was in danger and turned the tide to revive the family that was about to decline, this uncle has slowly entered the inner circle of the family, which was completely impossible in the past.

The reason why the Zhang family can become one of the four major families, although there are wealth considerations, but the greater role is the role of official positions, in Jiangnan, there are personnel of the Zhang family in various important positions, and this is why the Zhang family dares to call themselves the four major families; However, although the official position is huge, it cannot be used at will, after all, there are three other families that check and balance each other.

The last crisis, that is, the family that was the enemy of the Zhang family suddenly teamed up with another family, and the two families joined forces to secretly calculate them, and the Zhang family could use the right of official position to fight at that time, but if it really did that, it was afraid that the Zhang family's officials and businessmen would collude, and the exact evidence of abuse of power would be ginseng in the capital; At that time, although the Zhang family will not die out, it will be certain that its power will be greatly reduced.

After repeated consideration, the elders of the family chose to swallow the bitter fruit of this time and sacrifice the interests of business; But unexpectedly, the two families were menacing, one ring after another, and they were still not satisfied after quickly swallowing the commercial share of the Zhang family, but they were ready to use the huge profits in their hands to win over the remaining family, and that family was also moved after seeing the weak scene of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family was in chaos, and the elders went around with gifts to ask for help, but unexpectedly, those relationships in the past closed their doors and refused after seeing that the Zhang family had no money; At this moment, the Zhang family suddenly woke up to the fact that when the rights in their hands are restricted, money is the biggest weapon; Just when everyone felt that the sky was falling, Shopkeeper Zhang appeared with drunken incense and saved the Zhang family by turning the tide.

And afterwards, the Zhang family also took advantage of the relationship between tea and wine to catch up with the eldest princess and the Du family, which they did not expect, so the elders unanimously decided to pull the shopkeeper Zhang into the inner circle at that time, and spared no effort to prepare to hand over Yue Feng, because they saw great potential in Yue Feng.

Then Yue Feng and Zhang Heng had a cordial conversation, one was deliberately made friends with the instructions of the family, and the other was because this place was full of dangers and needed an accomplice to respond; So the conversation between the two was very pleasant, and then Zhang Heng introduced Yue Feng to a few of his friends, which also made Yue Feng no longer seem isolated.
