Father Liu told his son about this family secret, and his original intention was never to let his son recognize his relatives.

But what Liu Jun was thinking about at this time was how to get acquainted with the Liu clan and hug the golden thighs.

In his previous life, Liu Jun worked hard all his life, but in the end he was just a township representative and county member. Without him, the starting point is too low. After years of hard work, he has already understood a truth, a manly man cannot be without power for a day, and where does the power come from? In addition to their own hard work, it is more important to fight for Dad.

Well, there is probably no hope for Daddy in this life, and Daddy Liu has just been an old talent who has failed many years.

But fortunately, there is also a cousin who can fight. The governor of brocade clothes,, it's really not too **. Isn't it stupid that such an uncle at the level of a member of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee is not good at recognizing it, and he still has to fight his own?

He believes that if his father can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors as soon as possible, not to mention taking the Jinshi exam, he will at least be able to win a lift. Even if you can't win, at least you can be a county warden or something, it's better than being a child king.

Liu Qiao, Liu Xiu, Liu Feng and Liu Jun, just by looking at the names of these two families and two generations, you can know that they are really a family.

Now it's the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and in five years the Ming Dynasty will die, and then the Manchu Qing Dynasty will enter China, although the late Ming Dynasty struggled desperately, but it couldn't struggle for many years. The landlords of Hubei and Eastern Hubei will soon fall into the hands of the Manchus.

The so-called head-keeping without hair, hair-free, barbarism, massacre, and the foolish rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will never be acceptable to a person who comes from a later generation.

Well, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty came, this part of Eastern Hubei was still the object of looting by the peasant army.

However, Liu Jun was not one of those middle school students, he knew that the heroes of peasant revolutionaries such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Hong Xiuquan propagated in the textbooks of later generations were just a kind of propaganda for some ideological needs in the early years.

In essence, they could not be revolutionaries at all, let alone rebels, and they could never be heroes. These people are essentially peasants and deserters who can't survive, they are not leading the people to revolution, but just wandering and robbing, what they do is no better than the rotten officials and soldiers, as an ordinary ordinary people, the Manchu Qing Dynasty came and had no way to live, but the thief army came and had no way to live, slaughtering the city and plundering.

Especially the gentry class like the Liu family, it is even more dangerous, and it has always been the target of looting and suppression.

Damn, Lao Tzu traveled to the Ming Dynasty, but I don't want to be oppressed by the government, ransacked by thieves, and slaughtered by the Manchus!

The best way out should be to move now, and it will not be safe to move to Jiangnan in a few years, and it is better to move to Southeast Asia, to Europe. But this can only be just thought, the homeland complex of the Ming people, which one of the Liu family is willing to move?

Not to mention what reason to explain them now, even if everyone is willing to go, but if they want to move to a foreign continent, it is simply difficult to achieve transportation in this era. I can't go, I can only stay, but if I don't want to be a Shunmin of the Manchu Dynasty, I don't want to be killed by thieves, and I don't want to be cut leeks by the government, I have to have the ability to protect myself.

First of all, the top priority is to find a way to get in touch with the Liu family, with the big tree of the Liu family, there are at least five or six years of shade to hide, as for the future, I will look at it while walking. After thinking about it, Liu Jun had already made a decisive decision.

As soon as he said it, Liu Jun took the 100 taels of silver he asked for from Zhang's butcher's house and made a big purchase on the Xiwan Market and bought many gifts. And he was very high-profile when he purchased, and he did not avoid being asked, and bluntly said that he was going to Liu's house in Suokouhe.

Liu Jun's timing was very good, and three days later it was the seventieth birthday of Liu Qiao's father, Liu Chengqi, and Liu Jun took this opportunity to come to the door at this time.

The so-called etiquette is not to blame, even if Liu Chengye was expelled from the Liu family back then, but after so many years, he Liu Jun personally came to the door to give gifts to congratulate his birthday, could the old man Liu Chengqi refuse it?

After Daddy Liu knew that Liu Jun was going to Liu's house in Suokouhe, his expression was very complicated, from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, which was also Liu Chengye's unfulfilled wish back then, but as a scholar, he had a sense of shame in his heart, and felt that his father was expelled back then, and he had no face to go back. The son wanted to go to celebrate his birthday and give gifts, but he didn't approve of it, but in the end he didn't stop it.

The Zhang family opposite the Liu family, Zhang Butcher hung his shoulders, lay on the bamboo chair and sighed, one hundred taels of silver for a dead pig, and the third son had a broken nose, his right hand was dislocated, and the servants of the family were also swollen and blue, not to mention that the pig's blood was sprinkled on the house, and he was frightened in public and pulled his crotch, thinking about these things, Zhang Butcher felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

But that day, Liu Erlenzi's arrogant appearance, with a fearless attitude, made him afraid, a Liu Erlenzi is not afraid of him, but if this Erlenzi has something to do with the Liu family of the Jinyi family, then this matter will be troublesome, he doesn't dare to retaliate at all, and even has to worry about the follow-up revenge of the Liu family.

In the past few days, he didn't dare to go out of the door, not even his favorite teahouse, and he didn't listen to the play, so he stayed at home. He didn't immediately send someone to find his county son-in-law, he was carefully observing, if the Liu family in Xiwan was really related to the Liu family in Suokouhe, then any action he made might cause trouble.

"Master, master, Liu Erlenzi is shopping for gifts in the bazaar, what ginseng, bird's nest, shark fin pearls, and I bought a lot, and the total value is not less than a hundred taels of silver." The next person rushed to report the latest developments of Liu Erlengzi.

Zhang Butcher felt his toothache, and he was fucking spending his own money. However, he felt a little strange, "What is Liu Er doing to buy so many gifts?" ”

"I heard from the merchants in the bazaar that Liu Erlenzi said that the purchase of gifts was because Liu Jinwu and his father Mrs. Liu's seventieth birthday three days later, and he was going to celebrate his birthday. He also told people that Liu Jinwu was his cousin's uncle, and the old birthday star Mrs. Liu was his grandfather. ”

"Did he really say that?" Butcher Zhang suddenly became excited, stood up with his whole body, and asked loudly.

"Liu Erlenzi did say this, and he said it to many merchants."

Zhang Butcher suddenly withered, and the whole person shrank back into the bamboo chair, he felt so tired.

Before, he still had some suspicions that Liu Erzi was lying to him, but now that Liu Erlenzi said this to many merchants in the bazaar, it is very likely that this matter is true. The Liu family in Xiwan is really related to the Liu family in Suokouhe, and they are also of the same family. But damn it, he's been a neighbor of the Liu family for decades, and he's never heard of this before.

But no matter what, now we have to wait and see what happens, and he can't afford to offend the Liu family in Suokouhe.

"You personally go to Liu's house in Suokouhe and keep an eye on Liu Erlenzi for me, I want to know his every move in Suokouhe Liu's family to celebrate his birthday." Zhang Butcher pondered for a long time, and finally said a little unwillingly.

"The little one understands, so let's go."

Liu Jun made a purchase in the market, and it was not his own silver anyway, the one hundred taels of silver he got from Zhang's butcher's house had been spent by him in a blink of an eye, and all of them were exchanged for various gifts.

The gift of 100 taels of silver is not thin, in terms of the price of fields in the south of the Yangtze River, it has always been more expensive, and the eastern part of Hubei has always been more than the gentry, so each mu of good paddy fields is often worth 20 or 30 taels of silver.

On the other hand, one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, and it only costs four or five taels of silver to buy a small girl ring, and if you buy a sixteen or seventeen-year-old big girl ring with craftsmanship, it is only twenty or thirty taels. One hundred taels of silver, you can buy four or five acres of fine land, or twenty little girls, or four or five young and skilled girls.

However, since it is a gift, there is no reason to be reluctant to give money, and it is reluctant for a child to trap a wolf, and a gift is investment, Liu Jun is still clear about these reasons. As long as you can hug the thigh of the Liu family, let alone a hundred taels of silver, it is worth another hundred taels.

After purchasing the gift, Liu Jun took out the big green mule from home, turned over and set off on the mule. Xiwan is in the southwest of the county, and the Liu family of Suokouhe is twenty-five miles northwest of the county, and this road has to be more than 50 miles, and it takes more than half a day to get there by mule.
