"He's a pretty surprising guy, with a surprisingly mature and steady attitude. His words and deeds should never be owned by a twenty-year-old young country martial artist, which makes me feel more like a wise middle-aged man, experienced and wise. ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a person."

In the evening, in the villa where the Liu family entertained guests, Li Chunjiang sat and chatted with two old men, one was his uncle, the head of the Li family in contemporary Macheng, who had served as the political envoy of Jiangxi and the governor of Shandong, as well as Li Changgeng, who had served as the governor of Southern Jiangxi and the governor of Gansu, and the other was Mei Zhihuan, who had served as the governor of Southern Jiangxi and the governor of Gansu.

"You are the same age as him, but you are the same Geng, and it is really interesting to say that he is young." Li Changgeng smiled at his nephew.

Mei Zhihuan said on the side, "What's more interesting is that you didn't come to tell us about a strange young man for no reason, right?" ”

"It is true that the uncle does not know him, but Mei Shibo does know him. Dong Qichang gave Mei Shibo that peerless work, didn't you give it away before? ”

"He's the young man you're talking about?" Mei Zhihuan was slightly surprised.

"You gave Dong Qichang's painting to a country martial artist?" Li Changgeng smiled slightly, it seems that there must be a story here. Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan are the same age, and the two are still relatives. Li Changgeng's wife is the daughter of Mei Zhihuan's uncle, Mei Guozhen, the former squire of the military department, and Mei Zhihuan, together with Li Changgeng and Liu Zhongying, a fellow villager, is called the Three Friends of Xiling.

At the same time, Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan are also relatives of the Liu family, and Mei Guozhen's other daughter married Liu Qiao's uncle Liu Chengxi.

Li Chang Gung is Mei Zhihuan's cousin-in-law.

Mei Zhihuan's mother is Liu Shouyou's daughter and Liu Chengxi's aunt.

The old lady of the Liu family, Liu Chengqi and Mei Zhihuan, are cousins, and Li Changgeng and Liu Chengxi are brothers-in-law. Speaking of which, they are all Liu Qiao's elders.

Mei Zhihuan smiled and nodded, "That's indeed a very good young man, I haven't seen such an outstanding young man for many years, calm and atmospheric." I heard him say that he was coming to Liu's family to celebrate his birthday, but I never thought that he was Liu Chengye's grandson, so we are relatives with him. ”

Mei Zhihuan's mother is Liu Shouyou's daughter, that is, the aunt of Liu Chengxi, Liu Chengqi, Liu Chengye and other Liu brothers, so Liu Jun's grandfather Liu Chengye is Mei Zhihuan's aunt and cousin, Liu Jun's father Liu Xiu has to call Mei Zhihuan a cousin, and Liu Jun has to call Mei Zhihuan a cousin.

And in fact, the relationship between the two families is not too far. If you still move around, it's actually very close.

"Old Man Liu rejected Liu Jun's request to recognize his relatives, which was actually their Liu family's own loss. Given time, I'm sure the Liu family will definitely regret today's decision. ”

"He's just a martial artist, maybe it's not as mysterious as you say, if there is no clan support, how can a little martial artist have a bright future?" Li Changgeng said.

"Don't underestimate him." Mei Zhihuan said that he encountered a group of thieves on the road before he suddenly attacked, and at that time, Liu Jun used his wits to retreat from the enemy. "That kid, he has the courage and knowledge, and he is willing to give a gift of hundreds of taels of silver, which is not a small amount of money for him, but he gave it to the thief without saying a word. Such a person only lacks an opportunity, and once he gets the opportunity, he will inevitably get ahead. ”

"It's a rare opportunity."

"I'll just give him one." Mei Zhihuan smiled and said to Li Chunjiang, "Gongzhi, since you appreciate Liu Jun so much, then you can help him." ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"I think he is a natural military general, and I am going to recruit him to my township regiment first, where there is a shortage of such courageous and knowledgeable people. However, I don't want to meet him right away for the time being, so you will come forward and say that you are doing an errand for him to go to Fort Baosheng. After a few years of training, I will directly recommend an official position to the imperial court, which can be regarded as having the qualifications to be promoted. ”

Li Chunjiang said with a smile, "Shibo, I also want to practice hard in your township group, do you accept it." ”

"I don't dare to accept you, you are a seed of study, and you want to be the champion." Mei Zhihuan said with a smile.

"For example, today, the military revolution is constantly going on everywhere, and our dynasty also controls the military with literature, and being a civil minister is also to lead the army to fight, such as when Shibo is an official in various places, isn't it also to dismount and manage the people, and get on the horse to command the army? I claim to have read a lot of sage books, and I don't dare to say that I am the champion in the examination, but there is no problem in taking the Jinshi examination. Right now, I really want to go through the training in the village regiment of the deceased uncle, anyway, it's too early to take the exam. Li Chunjiang replied.

"You think long-term." Although Li Changgeng is Li Chunjiang's uncle, he usually loves this nephew very much, but he is far more open than ordinary elders, and he did not immediately object, but said, "Although the township regiment is not considered an army, it is often necessary to suppress bandits and robbers, which is not easy, and once you enter the army, you have no friendship to talk about, everything has to be done according to the rules of the camp, do you suffer so much?" ”

"If my nephew can't even endure this hardship, then how can he make a difference in his career in the future."

"Well, I love to hear that. Nowadays, outside the Guan, Houjin has been chaotic for many years, and the Central Plains is also full of thieves, smoke everywhere, and there is no peace in the world. As an official, you can no longer educate the people in the official office with peace of mind, you have to resist Houjin as an official in the north, and you have to suppress bandits and robbers as an official in the Central Plains. Since you are willing to experience, then come, but say in advance, after you come, there will be no Mei Shibo at that time. ”

"Nephew understands."

Liu Jun stayed in the inn in Suokouhe Town at night, and Mrs. Liu accepted the precious painting unceremoniously, but refused to accept the return of the Liu family in Xiwan, and even did not leave Liu Jun to attend the birthday banquet in the end. For more than 50 miles, it is impossible for Liu Jun to travel in the dark, so although he doesn't like the Liu family's style very much, he still has to stay here for one night.

came in a hurry, but at this time it was already extremely depressed.

He didn't expect the Liu family to refuse so simply and decisively, and they didn't give him a chance at all.

The confession failed, and now Liu Jun has to think about where to go next.

If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, maybe it doesn't matter if he doesn't recognize this family, it's a big deal, with his knowledge of later generations, can't he do some business or something? But this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is about to perish in five years, Eastern Hubei is at the turn of the north and the south, this place is the place where the forces of all parties in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty pass through, if it is just a flat-headed people, this wave of waves can hold on a few times.

Originally, if he could climb up to the Liu family, at least the safety of the past few years would be no problem, but the Liu family did not regard him as the Liu family at all. He needs the Liu family, and the Liu family doesn't need him.

Today you ignore me, and tomorrow I will make you unattainable.

Liu Jun thought of this sentence in his heart when he walked out of Liu's house, but in fact, it was just a momentary anger.

Liu's Mansion.

"He is now staying at the inn on East Street, and he is very calm, unusually calm, surprising, unbelievable." In Liu Chengqi's study, the housekeeper was reporting Liu Jun's situation to Mrs. Liu.

"Did you find out where the painting came from?"

"Not yet, but this painting is indeed Dong Qichang's direct trace, because it is Dong Qichang's peerless world, it is very precious."

Liu Chengqi supported the crutches, "This Liu Jun is not simple, I left this painting behind, such a valuable thing, but he didn't show half of his dissatisfaction, especially after I ruthlessly rejected his request to return to the Liu clan." A young man in Chengfu, the younger generation of our Suokouhe Liu family is not as good as him. ”

The butler was surprised, but he didn't expect the old lady to have such praise for the young man. "Then why did you refuse to admit his marriage?"

Liu Chengqi shook his head, "Some things are not so simple, and this involves some other things. "What is the specific matter, Liu Chengqi did not tell the housekeeper, in fact, it is indeed a very important thing.

That involves very important things, although Liu Chengqi is Liu Tianhe's great-grandson, but in his father's generation, it is his uncle Liu Shouyou who inherits the hereditary position of Jinyiwei handed down from his ancestors, not his father Liu Shouji. Liu Shouyou gave birth to three sons, Chengxi Chengyou and Chengye, and Liu Chengqi's father gave birth to Liu Chengqi's eight brothers.

In the end, the Liu family's brocade clothes were passed on to Liu Chengxi normally after Liu Shouyou.

Liu Chengxi first married the former first assistant Xu Jie's family when Liu Shouyou was still in the official career, and took Xu Jie's great-granddaughter. Later, Liu Chengxi was the first person to test the martial arts, commanded the Jinyi Guard, and the governor knew the same. However, later Liu Shouyou was dismissed, and he was also implicated and returned to his hometown, and after the Liu family lost power, his wife Xu divorced him and returned to his parents' home. He later remarried Mei Guozhen's daughter.

Originally, Liu Chengxi's hereditary position must have been passed on to his son in the end, but Liu Chengxi's son has been sick and weak and difficult to take on the post, so in the end, Liu Chengqi's son Liu Qiao, a martial artist, was able to inherit the hereditary Jinyiwei.

Many years have passed, Liu Chengxi died early for many years, and now Liu Chengxi's sick only seedling is also going to die. Although Liu Chengxi's son has been married a long time ago, he has never given birth to a son and a half daughter. Now that he saw that it was going to be over, he proposed to inherit a nephew from the clan as an heir, and inherit the ancestry.

According to the close relationship, the son of Liu Chengxi's brother Liu Chengyou is preferred, but Liu Chengyou also has only one son, and it is impossible to pass on to his brother. Therefore, now only one of Liu Shouji's sons can be selected from the grandson to inherit the Liu family's house.

The clan chief room is quite important, especially when Liu Chengqi and others also agreed with their brother Liu Chengxi that Liu Chengxi handed over the Jinyi inheritance to Liu Chengqi's son Liu Qiao because of his son's poor health. But at the beginning, it was said that after Liu Qiao, this position would have to be handed back to the descendants of the Liu family.

Therefore, now it is not just a simple matter of heirs, but also the inheritance of the brocade job that Liu Tianhe finally earned. Although it is not a duke and earldom, the hereditary position of brocade is actually equivalent to a hereditary title. Liu Chengqi and Liu Qiao's father and son were unwilling to hand over this hard-won job back to Changfang.

Their plan was to find a successor from Liu Qiao's son Liu He to Liu Chengxi's son, so that the fertilizer water would not flow into the fields of outsiders.

And if Liu Jun's family recognizes their ancestors and returns to their relatives, it will make this matter even more complicated. After all, Liu Chengqi has eight brothers, who doesn't want to get the benefits of this heir, but there is no better way for everyone to choose before, after all, there are two branches on the side of the long house, but one has no queen, and one only has one son, so it is the turn of this side, among the eight brothers, according to generation, then Liu Chengqi is the boss, and everyone has no reason to veto it from his family.

But if Liu Jun's family comes back, then the situation will be different, Liu Chengye is from the Changfang, although he is a concubine, but after all, it is Changfang's own one, especially Liu Xiu has three sons, Liu Jun is the second son, and he is so good, he can succeed to the Changfang. He is also a martial artist, so young, it is also just right for him to inherit the Jinyi throne at that time.

Liu Chengqi never wanted to see such a result, so although he also admired Liu Jun as a young man, he still refused his recognition without hesitation.

Think about how many disputes and scandals have been caused in the big families of the princes and uncles of this dynasty for the sake of a lord. Although the Liu family is just competing for a brocade job, but if one is not well controlled, it will be very unbearable at that time, he must not let this situation happen, and he must stifle all possibilities as soon as possible.
