~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is an ordinary ox cart, both on the outside and on the inside, it looks very shabby, except for the oxen pulling the cart is quite strong. It's hard to believe that this is the car of the incoming fifth-generation Fuping Hou.

In the carriage, Zhang Chengyan was saluting Zhang Fang: "In the meantime, I don't dare to be luxurious, this is my uncle's intention." ”

Zhang Fang nodded, indicating that he understood.

The end of the 36-day mourning does not mean that the funeral is completed, and there is still a mourning period. For at least five months, a filial son is not allowed to drink alcohol for fun, go out into the place of fireworks, or hold official positions. The dress is simple, the travel is simple, the three meals are coarse tea and light rice, and the incense is burned in the morning and evening.

Don't think it's too long, in fact, it really depends on the weekly rites, and the time for cutting down (the heaviest of the five funeral garments) is three years (or twenty-five to twenty-seven months). However, in general, it will not be strictly enforced. Generally, the powerful only live in mourning for three to five months, and it is reasonable to meet the minimum first-class standard.

If someone really gives up pleasure and takes out the precious three years of his life to keep filial piety, he will become a model for the people of the time, and the so-called "filial piety and honesty" basically refers to such a person. There is no doubt that those who can afford to keep three years of filial piety can only be scholars or wealthy families who have no worries about food and clothing. The general public, working hard all day long only for three meals, keeping filial piety for three years, do you still want to farm? Do you want to eat? Do you want to live?

Therefore, materially speaking, only the upper echelons of society can afford to play filial piety, but these people usually can't endure hardship. The general public, on the other hand, can endure hardship, but they lack the material foundation. It is this contradiction that makes such filial piety precious and eye-catching.

Zhang Chengyan made a special trip to take Zhang Fang back to his home, and at the same time reported to Zhang Fang, who had officially become the head of the family, the situation in the house for more than a month.

"Uncle received the edict from the Queen Mother, and it has been more than a month since she stayed in Changle Palace, and she returned yesterday, and the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have rewarded a lot......"

"Fuzhong should be stable and ...... affairs"

Zhang Fang arched his sleeves and said: "The affairs of the house, there is Brother Lao Zhong." Zhang Chengyan is the second, so Zhang Fang calls him the middle brother.

Zhang Chengyan hurriedly returned the salute: "The head of the family is serious, what is the matter of the Zhang family?" The energy efficiency is modest, which is the luck of Chengyan. And the head of the house is the family order to respect the ministers, and Cheng Yan is just helping, so he should not be praised by the head of the house. ”

Zhang Fang still thanked him sincerely, and then asked: "The few servants I brought didn't cause trouble in the house, right?" ”

Zhang Chengyan smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, it's the one called Chu Liu, who competed with Shang Ping and Wang Zhonglang and injured the servants of the Wang family...... For this matter, the family order has been to the palace several times to make amends, Wang Zhonglang did not blame, only said that he would wait for the head of the family to mourn before discussing. ”

Zhang Fang asked casually, but he didn't expect that there was really trouble. This is called "Shang Ping", if you guess correctly, it should be Zhang Shangping, the third son of the Sanfang family. There is this person in the Zhang Mansion information given to him by Deng Zhan, who is about the same age as himself, and he doesn't know why he has to shoot with the sixth year of junior high school, isn't that embarrassing? Also, compared to shooting, whether it is a long stack or a galloping shot, the target is a straw man, how can you still shoot and injure the servant? As for who is Wang Zhonglang and his family's neutron...... Zhonglang is just a Lang official who is more than 600 stones, Chang'an grabbed a lot of it, Deng Zhan's information only involves high-ranking officials of Qianshi, and it is very incomplete, naturally it is impossible to have the information of 600 stone Lang officials, so Zhang Fang does not know the essentials.

Zhang Chengyan obviously saw the doubts in Zhang Fang's eyes, and immediately explained the matter one by one.

The story is very simple, that is, one day on the sixth day of the first day of the first month, he was practicing archery in the Zhangfu school field, and he was seen by Zhang Shangping and his friend Wang Zhu. Wang Zhu was quite good at shooting, and seeing that this young man of his age was extraordinary, his hands were itchy for a while, so he asked for an arrow.

If it was an ordinary servant of the Zhang Mansion, he would never dare to agree, but the sixth day of the first month was from outside the Saiwai and would never refuse the challenge of others, because this would be regarded as cowardice outside the Saiwai. The sixth day of junior high not only readily agreed, but also went all out, showing no mercy to his subordinates.

As a result, after a round of shooting, Wang Zhu lost so badly - only then did he know that people had only practiced, but they were practicing basic skills, and they had not shown their housekeeping skills at all.

Wang Zhu lost, not only did he lose ugly, but he also lost to a Hu Nu (although he was Han in the sixth month, he behaved like Hu Feng), and his face naturally couldn't get better. Zhang Shangping, who was a friend and half of the master of the house, naturally couldn't sit idly by, and immediately scolded him, making Chu Liu kneel down and apologize. Who is the sixth year of junior high school? has a simple temperament, would rather bend than bend, and has always only knelt down to be a good man, how can he kneel and be a bad man?

As a result, conflict is inevitable.

Fortunately, on the sixth day of the junior high school, he still knew the severity and did not hurt the two sons, but only shot and injured the servants of the Wang family. Because of the funeral in Zhang's Mansion, both Zhang and Wang families suppressed the matter first.

From Zhang Chengyan's narration, Zhang Fang finally knew who this "Wang Zhonglang" was. The official is not big, but the origin is not small, this person is Wang Li. His sister is the queen of the dynasty, the eldest brother Yangping Marquis Wang Feng, and the crown prince Liu Biao has to call him uncle...... This family is really a bargain, belonging to a first-line relative, don't look at his official size, but the backstage is hard, still above the Marquis of Fuping.

Deng Zhan did not report this matter, so he should not have known about it. Zhang Chengyan also said that there were not many people present at that time, and only the parties in the Zhang Mansion were witnessed, including the sixth party, Zhang Shangping and the three servants. They have been instructed to silence this matter so as not to bring more trouble to the Zhang Mansion.

It is probably for this reason that the sixth year of junior high school is tight-lipped.

After explaining the ins and outs, Zhang Chengyan glanced at Zhang Fang's face and said softly: "This matter is not big or small, it depends on how the head of the family handles it." ”

Zhang Fang's body shook rhythmically with the ox cart, and he said unhurriedly: "Has the palace revealed what they mean?" ”

"According to the family order, Wang Zhonglang didn't say anything, but at that time, his son Wang Zhu asked for this person to be expelled from the house, Wang Zhonglang didn't speak, it should be a tacit acquiescence." Zhang Chengyan said softly, "If that's the case, Wang Zhonglang really values the friendship between the two families of Zhang and Wang......

"Eviction?" Zhang Fang couldn't help but sneer, that's right, this condition does give him a lot of face, only asking the guilty servant, not involving him, and not affecting the friendship between the two families. It's just that they probably don't understand who the sixth junior high is, let alone who he Zhang Fang is.

"Head of ......"

Zhang Chengyan was about to persuade, but was stopped by Zhang Fang raising his hand: "Don't be busy, I'll make a decision after I go back to the house to learn more." ”

"Seihiko understands." Zhang Chengyan is obviously a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and saluted Zhang Fang, "Chengyan retires." ”

Zhang Chengyan bent down and got up as he spoke, raised his hand to pull the curtain, and was about to bow out, when he suddenly shouted: "Be careful, the head of the family!" ”

In the shouting, Zhang Chengyan's body shook and fell backwards into the car.

Zhang Fang quickly held on, his eyes flashed, and he saw an arrow stuck in Zhang Chengyan's right shoulder, trembling and shocking...... (To be continued.) )
