Chapter 101: Distribution of Forces
The Duan family's prayer came quickly, and it was already on Wei Jin's desk on the second day.
The person who posted the next post is Miss Duan's family, who is about the same age as Miss He. At the age when she should have been talking about marriage, there was no movement at all, and many people understood that she had a lot of plans.
"Sister Jin, I'm here."
While Wei Jin was thinking, Miss He San jumped up and went to the door.
"Sister Jin, where's Juejue?" Miss He San showed a round and flushed face, glanced indoors, and didn't see the figure of her little friend Wei Jue.
"Sihua'er is embroidering in the back, you can play with her by yourself."
Miss He San nodded, and glanced at the familiar greeting pattern again: "Is Sister Jin looking at Miss Duan's post?" ”
"yes, I haven't dealt with them, and I don't know how to receive them."
"Simple." Miss He San stumbled over and knelt opposite Wei Jin, "My eldest sister always says that the young lady of the Duan family is very easy to deal with, anyway, you can show them whatever you want." The girls in their family are very strange, they like shiny things, and they dress up very exaggeratedly, and we will pay attention to etiquette when we go out, but the girls in their family are not so polite, so when arranging, we should pay attention to this, and don't let them take advantage of the loopholes. ”
Turning her head, Miss He San said again: "But you don't have anyone else here, Gongzi Zan is the same as my eldest brother, an old fox, and he will definitely not fall for the way of the Duan family." But you have to be careful, the men of the Duan family are also very good. ”
Listening to Miss He San's words, the people of the Duan family had a terrible reputation in the circle of nobles of the scholar clan.
Wei Jin thought about it, and asked the third lady to stay and accompany Wei Jue at that time, she was worried that Sihua'er had never seen such a scene, and it would be inappropriate to be cheated by the Duan family's daughter.
"That's a must." Miss He San nodded and agreed without thinking about it, her little friend can't fall into the pit of the Duan family's daughter, doesn't that mean that she is not even as good as the Duan family's daughter?
sent Miss He San to play with Wei Jue, and Wei Jin began to write a reply.
They had only just arrived in Zhangzhou, and it was certainly impossible for them to hold a banquet in a day or two. It's okay for the girls of the Duan family to come, and the ladies of other families also have the need to agree, since everyone has the same purpose, it's better to go together!
Wei Jin picked up the pen to write down the day, and Lan Xiang and Hua Yan dried the ink on the side.
Hua Yan is still so thin, but her spirit is much better than before, plus there is no sun and wind these days, she is young, and she recovers quickly, and the whole person is several degrees whiter than before.
"Miss, do you need to prepare a room for the third lady?" It is because Wei Jue is embroidering today, and Wei Jue wants help here, so she came to the study to serve.
"Just the room next to Miss Fourth, clean it up and arrange it according to Miss He San's preferences."
Without looking up, Wei Jin was reading a somewhat alternative prayer post.
This letter of worship is from the Su family, which is the mother family of the little grandfather, the Su family in Dongyue.
The alternative of the Su family's letter of worship is that Miss Su did not say that she would come to visit, nor did she invite Wei Jin to the Su family to play, but wanted to invite Wei Jin to watch the ceremony.
"Drama?" Wei Jin frowned and pondered, "Nu opera was originally a dance danced by the Han people in the Central Plains when they paid tribute to the gods, and Dongyue was not strictly speaking a Han people, how could they have a Nu opera?" ”
Lan Xiang is clear about the interpersonal relationship of the big family, but she doesn't understand the roots of the Dongyue Su family.
"Lan Xiang, go and ask Mr. Chan to come over."
Wei Zan had to come forward in this matter. Women are generally not allowed to enter the venue of the festival, but of course, the rules vary from place to place. Miss Su invited her to watch the ceremony, which means that people don't have this taboo. She hesitated to go or not.
"Go, why not." As soon as Wei Zan came, he saw her holding Su's greeting post in a daze, so he directly took a look at it and slapped it on the table.
"The Su family is different from other families. Their ancestors were originally the Lu people who were divided into Heyang, but later the situation was turbulent, and the Su clan went all the way south and occupied Dongyue. But unlike the Duan family, the Su family has no idea of self-reliance, on the contrary, their goal has always been to return to the north, especially to return to their ancestral hometown of Ludi. ”
However, the Su clan has been developing in Dongyue for six or seven hundred years, and it can be said that it is deep-rooted, and it is not something that can be moved away if you want to. And the importance of the Su clan in Dongyue is not ordinary, without them here, Zhennan Gong alone does not want Dongyue to surrender.
Although this should not be said, in fact, most people understand that the old town Nangong is just a tool for the imperial court to give the Su family an upright ruler of Dongyue. Of course, the original Zhennan Gong really had the ability to stand firm under the control of the Su family and other families. But the previous generation of Zhennan Gong. Wei Zan shook his head, with an undisguised disdain in his eyes, "I have no ability, I have to rely on the power of my wife's family to stabilize my position, and I turn my head and dislike my wife's clan, which makes him lose face." ”
Until now, the Su family has doubted whether the early death of the little grandfather and mother had the hands and feet of Zhennan Gong, but they have not found credible evidence.
The opera that Miss Su invited her to watch the ceremony was a little further east in Dongxiang, close to the Su family's old house. There are many islands over there, and the terrain is complex. And the fishing villages along the coast are all Su Shi's eyeliner, once the wind blows again, Su Shi's sea boats go directly to the sea to hide, and no one can find them.
"The reason why the imperial court let the Su clan sit big is that the Su clan has a bottom line and has no intention of being the king and hegemon, even if it controls the coastal areas of Dongyue, it will not have much impact on the imperial court. On the contrary, because of the existence of the Su clan, the situation on the southeast coast is more stable. Moreover, compared with the chaos in South Vietnam, Dongyue with the Su clan in charge is better in every aspect, and the more stable Dongyue is, the less likely it is for South Vietnam to be controlled by the Duan family again. ”
Therefore, under the seemingly calm water surface of Zhangzhou, the real enemies of life and death are the Duan and Su families, and the existence of Zhennangong balances the situation to a certain extent.
But this was before, and now the little grandfather has a clear bias towards the Su family, and the Duan family naturally refuses to give up, but he doesn't have the strength to overwhelm the Su family, so he starts the idea of the little grandfather.
"Why didn't the Su family marry their daughter to the little grandfather?"
"That's a good question, I want to know too."
Wei Zan looked at Wei Jin with a smile: "Next time you meet the little grandfather, you can ask him this question, remember to come back and tell me." ”
The corners of Wei Zhan's mouth twitched, and looking at Wei Zhan's eyes was the same as looking at a neuropathy.
Quickly get people to send the post out, and the next thing to do is to set up a place where guests can be served in just five days.
Even if they're new to the game, they still have a lot of hands.
The He family sent a lot of things, and the food utensils were not worried, and now she was thinking about how to arrange it, so as to highlight the temperament of the Confucian scholars, so that the local scholars would not dare to underestimate their Wei family from the outside in.
