Chapter 55: Family Differences (5/2): Happy New Year
Gengshen year, the sixth day of the sixth month of June, is another day of rest.
In the folk proverb, there is a saying that the aunt is picked up on the sixth day of June.
According to legend, the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, Hu Yanju, was proud of his achievements and killed his father-in-law. And the sixth day of the sixth month of June was his birthday, when the summer grain in southern Jin was hit by a disaster, he was ordered to release the grain, and said that he would come back to live.
And his son-in-law secretly planned to kill his father-in-law that day to avenge his father, and his daughter quietly told Fox Yan.
On his birthday, he went home to celebrate his life, reviewed his mistakes in front of the guests, and begged his son-in-law for forgiveness.
Since then, the tradition of picking up my aunt on June 6 has continued. That is the Jin Kingdom of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the kind of one country that connects Zhou Tianzi and also bends to meet him.
Gangneung City also has such a custom, and the aunts of each family have arrived.
Of course, today is still the day to decide whether to cooperate with the Zhending Zhao family, which has been discussed several times before, but it is just a small-scale discussion, not a resolution.
Huang Chengyan's home is in Xiangyang, and the newlywed Yan'er returned to his hometown after staying in Nanjun to welcome Zhao Yun, and he also rushed over today.
If their family can get a piece of the business in this transaction, even if it is a very small share, it will be astronomical in the future.
After all, the foundation of the Huang family is shallow, and there are only a few hectares of fertile land outside Xiangyang City, which can never be compared with his wife Cai's mother's family.
Don't think that the family must be rich and powerful, and there are not a few filial sons and talented people in the township.
These people have passed down their poems and books to their families, and they are also admired by the world, and if they can get acquainted with the official, it is not impossible for him to go out of the countryside to raise filial piety and honesty to the public mansion, and even to enter the prime minister.
It is said that the Yuan family in Runan back then was just a broken settlement, famous for its poetry and book heirlooms, and it was only when Yuan An turned over.
When Huang Chengyan arrived, there were already several people in the hall where Cai Wei received Zhao Yun and others that day, all of whom were leading figures in the Nanjun area.
Three middle-aged and elderly people, chatting there, he stepped forward to say hello.
Huang Chengyan's eyes swept and found that there was a young man among them, that is, Xi Jun Xi Shaotang of the Xi family.
"Young cousin, why are you here from your house?" He sat down next to each other and asked in a low voice.
"My father thinks that I should come out to take care of things, otherwise his eyes will be black when he takes over one day." Xi Shaotang's expression was a little unnatural.
The Huang family is different, Huang Chengyan's father died early, and he is in charge of the family.
At the moment, he didn't ask much, nodded and began to listen to the communication between the elders.
"Brother Zhongliang," Cai Shi's voice was not small: "I don't know if Zirou and they have told them in detail after they go back?" ”
"Naturally," Kuai Quan pursed his lips and smiled, "Zi Rou and Xenodu are very optimistic about Zilong, and Quan is also undecided. ”
"Third brother, what do you think?" Cai Yan was noncommittal, turned his head and asked Zhang Quan.
Zhang Wen is married to his sister, and his age is a little younger than Zhang Heng, the second eldest of the Zhang family, and almost two years older than Zhang Quan, so he is called by Zhang Wen on weekdays.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Quan's expression was blank: "From beginning to end, a certain person has been kept in the dark. ”
The complaint in his heart, Cai Yan was very clear, and he didn't tire of it at the moment, and carefully told Zhao Yun about his intention to invite the Jingxiang wealthy family to participate in the maritime business.
The geographical location of Nanyang County is very peculiar, and it is the capital Luoyang over the Dabie Mountain.
At the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the land of Longxing, and many of the 28 generals of Yuntai came from Nanyang.
At that time, the people of Nanyang were happy, and there were groups of nobles, that is, farmers who farmed the land, and they all had relatives with prominent backgrounds who held important positions in the court.
Although the imperial court set up Jingzhou's seat in Jiangling, the county seat of Nanjun County, in order to facilitate management, the people of Nanyang would only ask: Where is Jiangling? They are dismissive.
With the gradual death of the old ministers around Guang Wuye, Nanyang County slowly declined, and now, it is just an ordinary county.
Of course, there was also a Western Uncle Zhang Heng in the middle, which was the branch of the Zhang family where Zhang Wen and Zhang Ji were located, and his highest position was only to become a scholar in the imperial court after he was old.
On the contrary, because of its location, Nanjun has become the economic center of the south, and the streets are full of rich people.
Those descendants of the nobles who had ancestors and princes had to recognize the status of Jiangling.
Otherwise, Zhang Wen would not have let the third brother enter Nanjun as a county lieutenant, which is rich in oil and water.
Zhang Quan has been sulking these days, and when the younger generations went to greet Zhao Yun, he did not invite his son Zhang Yun.
Then he went out to play from his nephew Zhang Yu, so he didn't die, and he met someone related to the Zhao family and had a dispute.
Yes, it is a dispute, in the eyes of Zhang Junwei, it is just a small dispute, not worth mentioning.
Such a trivial matter, the loyal subordinate Zhang Cai died with a whimper, and it was the sister-in-law's niece who made the shot.
What can he say? How dare you? can only put the resentment on Zhao Yun.
Of course, he definitely didn't dare to shoot directly, not to mention those cavalry, even Zhao Yun's own martial arts were also above him, Du Chun of Runan County was even more powerful than himself, and he was killed with a sword.
Since the Zhao family wants to do something, there is no way, what does it matter to me? What's more, he had communicated carefully with his son before coming, and he made up his mind to let Zhao Yun return empty-handed this time.
"I see!" Zhang Quan pretended to suddenly realize: "The Zhang family is not involved!" ”
What the? Cai Yan thought he had heard it wrong.
"Third brother, don't you discuss it with the eldest brother?" He is still holding on: "After all, Zilong's nephew said it well, we have exhausted the road on land and want to go to the sea." ”
"Brother!" Zhang Quan clenched his fists: "It is said that you and I are both officials of the imperial court, and we should do our best to do things for the imperial court." Is it okay for businessmen to solve the businessmen's affairs? ”
Cai was so angry that a Buddha ascended to heaven, Nima, what do you eat and drink in the Zhang family? Come here and reason with Lao Tzu.
My Cai family must have more land in the countryside than your Zhang family, but my family lives in Jiangling City, Jiangling Residence, it is not easy.
Kuai Quan saw that there was a stalemate here, and hurriedly asked Xi Jun next to him: "Virtuous nephew, your father has always been in good health?" ”
"Uncle Xie cares, and my father is in good health." Xi Shaotang hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"In that case, why don't you come today?" Kuai Quan didn't understand.
"Actually, my father's meaning is similar to that of Uncle Zhang." Xi Jun sat down and took a sip of tea slowly: "Reading the book of sages and sages, you can understand the truth of right and wrong." ”
"Shangjia, trivial matters, my father let Jun be in charge."
"What do you mean?" Kuai Quan had a premonition that something was wrong, but he still wanted to know the exact answer.
"The Xi family will not participate in such business matters." Xi Jun shook his head: "Uncle Zhang has given Jun filial piety and will go to Beijing soon." ”
It's over, Kuai Quan and Cai Wei glanced at each other, and their hearts kept sinking.
The families of Nanjun have always thought that they are the first to look forward to these people, as long as they discuss it today, they will notify those families.
Unexpectedly, there was a disagreement here, and there was no consensus at all.
"Today's rest, Quan wants to accompany his family, and his son-in-law has also come back, farewell!" Zhang Quan said stiffly, stood up and left.
"There are also important things in the Jun family, two uncles, Brother Huang Shi, farewell!" After Xi Jun finished speaking, he went out politely.
