Chapter Forty-Seven: The Gathering of Heroes
The Begging Festival is a traditional festival, and the "Begging Competition" is also a spontaneous activity organized by the people.
Therefore, the leader of the competition is not the butler. It is a folk family, a famous family with the highest moral prestige. As for this Jinyang, apart from the Li family, who can compare with the Wang family?
So, for decades, the begging festival in Jinyang City has been presided over by the Wang family.
And this year, the Wang family released the news early, and the Wang family mainly presided over the begging festival in person.
As for why the head of the Wang family made this decision? There are many speculations in the market, but the most reliable thing is that Wang Funan wants to use the begging festival to recruit sons-in-law for his daughters.
The Wang family is a famous family, and if you want to marry the Wang family, you naturally have to be the right person. It's just that in the past few decades, the Wang family's attention among the seven sects and five surnames has not been as good as before. It's just that I can't imagine that the Wang family has been reduced to the point where they can show their influence through the "begging competition".
Wang Funan presided over the begging competition, which caused quite a stir in Bingzhou and even the entire Hedong Province. As a result, many sons of famous families from all over Hedong gathered in Jinyang for a while, and what they planned in their hearts was naturally to become the fast son-in-law of the Wang family.
There is a saying that there are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and even though the Wang family is in decline, it is not comparable to ordinary famous families. The Wang family will not lower its own value and marry with these local families. Wang Funan just wanted to take this opportunity to let the Wang family appear in the public eye.
As for choosing a son-in-law? It's nothing more than a gimmick.
Even though most people know that there is not much opportunity, young people from all over the world still gather in Jinyang. For a time, in Jinyang City, businessmen gathered, and in the streets and alleys, you can shoot generous sons and brothers everywhere. The number of people in the restaurant tea shop is also surging.
On the day of the Begging Festival, the wonderful programs are set in the evening, and during the day, how can these famous sons be idle? One by one, they gathered in the restaurant and drank and had fun.
This is the talented son of Linfen in Jinzhou, that is the son of the assassin of Lanzhou, here is the son of the founding Hou family, and that is after the Zhongwu general...... For a time, the major restaurants in Jinyang City were all behind the famous doors. If a brick is smashed, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.
As for Wang Dong and Jiugong, they naturally felt that Jinyang City was different from the past.
"Jiugong, how do I feel, there are many strangers in Jinyang City?" Wang Dong walked by the side of the road, and the sound of mutual introductions from the restaurant made Wang Dong feel surprised.
Jiugong laughed: "You mean, these people? ”
"yes." Wang Dong nodded, if it is put in the 21st century, these people are all the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and the second generation of red, but they are a group that cannot be underestimated.
"These people are not here for our little hostess." As he spoke, Jiugong's chest straightened, with a proud face, "But it's a pity." ”
"Little hostess?" Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in his heart, "Isn't it Meng Yao and the others you are talking about?" Gradually, Wang Dong began to realize the purpose of these famous sons gathering in Jinyang.
"What a pity?"
Jiugong smiled: "It's a pity that they can't get into the eyes of the head of the family, I'm afraid they will be overjoyed." ”
"The son of the assassin is not in the eyes of the law?"
"Hmph, a little thorn history, and you also want to be my son-in-law of the Wang family?" Jiugong looked at Wang Dong with disdain, and from his eyes, what Wang Dong saw seemed to be arrogant and arrogant.
The nine bulls were coaxing, as if they were Wang Funan, the head of the Wang family, and turned around and walked towards the little lady of the Zhang family.
Looking at the back of Jiugong, Wang Dong secretly thought: "Wang family? Is there really such a high prestige? Don't even put the history of thorns in your eyes? ”
Wang Dong also began to understand the prestige of the Wang family for the first time. Before, Wang Dong always thought that the Wang family was no different from those ordinary famous families. But now it seems that Wang Dong is very wrong.
Who let Wang Dong's history teacher not teach him this knowledge?
The reason why the seven clans and five surnames can be tied for the same name is naturally their own power. can be listed with the Tang Li family, do you think the Wang family is really a waste of fame? Not to mention anything else, it was the great warlord Wang Shichong at the end of the Sui Dynasty, who was just a small branch of the Wang family.
When Wang Shichong won completely, he could compete with Li Yuan's father and son, but it was only a bad move.
However, Wang Shichong's failure also has a lot to do with the fact that he did not get the support of the seven clans and five surnames. At that time, Wang Shichong wanted to marry the Taiyuan royal family in order to enhance his prestige. But he didn't want to, and was directly rejected by the head of the Wang family at that time.
If Wang Shichong had the support of the Wang family at that time, then it is difficult to say whether this country is now from the Li family.
Since the Li family won the country, they began to realize that the influence of these seven clans and five surnames was too great, so they wanted to suppress other clans other than the Li surname. And the Wang family is the first to bear the brunt. Who made your Wang family come out with a Wang Shichong?
However, afraid of the prestige of the Wang family, the Tang Li family did not dare to be too obvious. However, the decline of the Wang family can be said to have a lot to do with the Li family.
After decades of silence, Wang Funan, the head of the Wang family, has already planned to revive the former prestige of the Wang family.
Following behind Jiugong, Wang Dong pondered all the way, and when he looked up, he didn't expect to be at the home of the Zhang family's lady.
"Qianniang is not at home? We've come to see you. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiugong shouted at the top of his voice.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Unexpectedly, Qianniang was really there, Jiugong and Wang Dong raised their feet and walked towards the house.
"Nine Princes and Princesses, why are you here?" Walking to the door, Qianniang had already greeted her.
Jiugong laughed: "Of course it's your Wang Lang, I think about you in my heart, so I came to see you." ”
"Jiugong, you are making fun of Qianniang again." was teased by Jiugong like this, and Qianniang's cheeks suddenly flew away.
"Wang Lang and Jiugong are here?" In the inner room, the voice of the old lady was heard.
Wang Dong immediately replied: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the old lady in good health?" As he spoke, Wang Dong had already entered the house to visit the old lady.
The old lady got up from the bed: "Thank you Wang Lang for your concern." ”
"Old lady, if you are unwell, don't get up." Wang Dong hurriedly stopped the old lady from getting up.
The old lady slowly lay down again and sighed: "The old woman's body is bones, I'm afraid it won't be long. ”
"Mother, why did you say this for no reason." Qianniang was a little unhappy on the side.
"Okay, okay, don't say it," the old lady smiled, "Now that life is better, the old woman hasn't enjoyed enough blessings, cough cough cough ......."
"Jiugong, let's not disturb the old lady, let the old lady rest."
Jiugong nodded, and then followed Wang Dong out of the old lady's room.
