In Dong Changhe's heart, he has always liked this eldest nephew.

The eldest nephew looks like a person from the old Dong family, and the little boy is also quite outstanding in ten miles and eight towns.

As a person with a long-term vision, he very much hopes that the Dong family will have more readers.

It's a pity that only the fourth brother of their generation can continue to test for fame now.

And the next generation Dong Chengyi is the leader, if he can get fame, he will definitely give a good head to the small ones below.

It's like marching to battle, as long as the one who waives the flag and shouts rushes to the front, the soldiers who rush behind will be more courageous.

Dong Chengyi's IQ is not bad, but because he is the first eldest grandson of his father, he is pampered with some personality.

is not good at words, too introverted, and too stubborn, such a character is not suitable for development in officialdom at all.

He hopes that as he gets older, Dong Chengyi's temperament will improve.

Dong Chengyi also likes his second uncle very much, he can't help but answer when he asks, so he said sullenly: "It's going to be a game, and you should be able to pass the exam." ”

Dong Changhe smiled: "When the second uncle took the children's exam, he was among the best in the field, is Chengyi sure that he is the same as the second uncle?" ”

Dong Chengyi's eyes looked ahead, he had no confidence in his heart, and said: "Chengyi is not at the level of the second uncle. ”

"Hahaha...... Stage fright is not good! Fear of war is a taboo for soldiers.

The so-called examination room is like a battlefield, if you don't have the courage and determination to win, then it won't work. The ancestor of our Dong family was a man of the hour who once dominated the court.

As the descendant of the ancestor, even if it is not as high as the ancestor was back then, he must have his demeanor. "Dong Changhe taught earnestly, just like a father.

This made Dong Chengyi's heart feel slightly warm. His father wouldn't tell him this at all, at most, he wanted him to study hard and not live up to his grandfather's teachings.

He had never had such a moment wishing that he was the son of his second uncle.

"Second uncle, rest assured, Chengyi will work hard." That's the biggest promise he can give. Even if it was such a simple word, his cheeks were red when he said it. It's not sunburned, it's blushing.

After all, a nephew is a nephew, not a son who can be taught casually. Dong Changhe felt a pity in his heart: it was a pity that a smart boy was taught by his father to be stuffy.

I also talk a lot today, after all, he is the son of the eldest brother, no matter what, how can he educate other people's sons in front of his brother?

So Dong Changhe and Dong Changjiang talked about other topics.

"Eldest brother, can you send the gifts from your uncle and second aunt?"

There are three brothers and sisters in the Qin family, the Qin family is the eldest sister, and there is a younger sister below, ranking second, known as Erqin. The youngest is his younger brother Qin Fengze, nicknamed Qin San'er.

My sister Erqin has a disability in her leg. It was Qin's mother who accidentally fell on the child and broke a leg in swaddling clothes. Hence the disability.

When the old man Qin was convicted and exiled, his wife quickly married off his two daughters and entrusted his sons to the care of his uncle.

Then after her husband died, she also committed suicide.

At that time, the Qin family and Dong Xiucai had been married since childhood, so they got married soon. Erqin did not have a marriage at that time, and hurriedly married the Zhuge family of the former Jinjiagou as his daughter-in-law.

The Zhuge clan has lived in Jinjiagou near the county seat of Changhai County for generations, and Jinjiagou is divided into Jinjiagou before and Jinjiagou after Jinjiagou.

Most of the people who lived in the former Jinjiagou were the clansmen of the Zhuge clan, and the people who lived in the later Jinjiagou were the people of the Xiao family.

The husband married by Erqin is a widower, a little old, and the biggest advantage is that he is a good person, and his original wife did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for him.

Although his family was poor, he was an ordinary farmer with no old age or young, and under the circumstances of the Qin family at that time, he was not afraid of being implicated, nor did he dislike Er Qin for being lame, let alone disliking her for not having a dowry. Soon married the then Er Qin into the family.

Maybe the fate of this little Qin family was really bumpy, and within a few years, her husband died of illness. She was widowed at a young age, and it was not easy for her to live in those years.

Pulling a few children to grow up alone, if it wasn't for the eldest sister Qin and younger brother Qin San'er who had been helping each other at that time, they couldn't live anymore.

Now Erqin's third son and youngest son, Zhuge Zhi, has opened a restaurant in Changhai County. His two elder brothers are working for him, the eldest Zhuge Cong is in charge of the purchase of the restaurant, and the second Zhuge Hui is in charge of the tavern where Zhuge Zhi made his fortune.

The three brothers united as one, which made Er Qin's life better.

Erqin also gave birth to a daughter, Zhuge Ying, who is now married. Her husband worked as a bookkeeper in Zhuge Zhi's restaurant.

Qin San'er was a pampered child when he was young because of his good family background.

There are two older sisters on it, forming his domineering character.

After the family was ruined, he grew up overnight, and although he was taken care of by his uncle, he also suffered a lot.

Old Man Qin had high hopes for him when he was alive, so he had been studying in a private school at that time.

It's a pity that he lost everything overnight, and his uncle could take care of him, but he also had many children, and he couldn't afford to continue his studies, so he had to give up his studies and start business.

He himself fought a trade route from scratch in Changhai County, and now he has become a famous businessman in Changhai County.

He is not bad to his two sisters, and the first amount of silver he used in business was given to him by Dong Xiucai, so he has different feelings for this eldest brother-in-law.

Therefore, several children of the Qin family have a good relationship with the cousins and cousins of the two families.

During the holidays, Dong Changhe would send a festival gift to his uncle and second aunt to say hello.

And the Qin family will instruct several sons every year to move around more with their sisters and younger brothers, for fear that the sons will be estranged from their two only maiden relatives.

In this way, Dong Changhe will have this question about Dong Changjiang.

Dong Changjiang pursed his lips and said: "I didn't go, during the Dragon Boat Festival before, I asked the third child to help me bring some rituals when the time comes." The third child can't forget. ”

Dong Changhe shook his head, hated iron and said with hatred: "Brother, what do you want the second brother to say about you!"

This kind of affection between people comes everywhere, and it can't be sent away with a box of gifts. The third child is much better than you, and the third child will come to the door in person every holiday, and there will be something to talk about in the future.

Even if you don't do anything else, for the sake of a righteous future, you should not break off these two relatives. ”

Although this era was heavy on agriculture and light on commerce, people did not reject merchants due to the influence of previous dynasties.

My uncle didn't have a way back then, so he gave up writing and went into business, but it was a piece of gold that could shine wherever it was placed. Even if you are in business, you will do well.
