Chapter 100: On the Thief Ship
Because of the Zhennan Mansion in Zhangzhou, the most elite area of the huge state city was enclosed by the city wall as an inner city, which was only for dignitaries to live.
There is also a clear hierarchical distinction between the inner and outer cities, and the closer to the inner city, the higher the status of the people who live there. The second is the gap between the east and the west, most of the people who go to Dongxiang are rich businessmen, and most of the people who go to Xixiang are civilians.
Wei Zan originally wanted to buy a house near the inner city, but unfortunately no one sold it. In retreat, he had no choice but to buy the place where he lives now.
But after entering, it feels good, although the building is not as exquisite as their Wei family, and the courtyard is not as meaningful as the Central Plains, but if the requirements are not too high, it is actually quite good.
Wei Jin and Wei Jue are not as picky as Wei Zhan, and the two sisters have also been poor, even if the old mansion in Zhangcun is not as good as this house in terms of scale and pattern, what do they have to dislike?
The main courtyard must be kept for Wei Zhan, and in addition to dealing with the affairs of the Wei clan, it seems that he has other tasks on his side. Wei Jin took her sister to live in the East Cross Courtyard. There is a small road on the side of the east cross courtyard, which leads out to the middle of the back mountain, and several pavilions and pavilions have been built there, which is a good place to watch the scenery.
Someone was arranged here early to clean up and prepare, and the Wei family, who came to investigate the Wei clan in advance, also lived here, most of them were concentrated in the West Cross Courtyard, with a garden for the boss and a water pavilion in the middle, so as to avoid the possibility of the female dependents being disturbed by outsiders.
What surprised Wei Jin the most was that on the hill behind their house was actually one of the three most famous academies in Zhangzhou. In addition, not far below the academy, there is a huge rock wall opposite the height of the Wei family's mansion, and there are inscriptions of twenty or thirty famous literati since ancient times.
Since arriving in Taizhou, she and her sister don't need to think about their own clothes, Mrs. He completely treats their sisters as their own children, and they are all thoughtful about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even specially matched their sisters with two local maidservants, for fear that they will not understand the local dialect and be coaxed.
For Mrs. He's care, Wei Jin accepted it all, and the fourth lady would definitely thank Mrs. He for her, and she would find a way to repay the fourth lady.
Favors do not mean that money and finances are clearly understood, it is a good thing, and occasionally owe a favor that is not big or small, but it is an excellent means to get closer to the relationship.
After a good night's rest, it was almost noon the next day, and Wei Zan invited her to the front yard.
"The results of Brother He's investigation are not much different from the results of the investigation by my side." Wei Zan lazily leaned on the pillars, and the two sat opposite each other, just under the eaves of the main house.
The architectural style of the main house here continues the rules of the previous dynasty, and there is a large area outside the room that is paved with wooden or bamboo planks, and the lower part is elevated, and part of it is volleyed over the water. Put a low table, two futons, just sit by the water, drink some tea, chat, and even take a nap in your leisure time is very comfortable.
Under the wooden corridor is a river, the water is clear and gentle, and there are fish.
When talking to Wei Jin, Wei Zhan took the bait and threw it into the water at will, watching those small fish grab food, quite happy.
Wei Jin finished reading the two documents, frowning slightly, a little puzzled.
"What does the person behind this mean? Looking at the results of your investigation, they don't seem to have malicious intent, as if they are testing something? ”
"That's right, they're tempting." Wei Zan clapped his hands and slapped off the debris of the bait, and the maid handed over a warm wet cloth towel to wipe his hands clean. Lazy people listen to books
"Didn't I tell you before, the little grandfather and the grandfather are already on the same page. He enclosed his grandfather in the mansion and had already written to replace him. Listening to the news from the DPRK and China, it is very likely that His Majesty will agree. ”
In this way, there will definitely be a change of power in the grandfather's mansion. Although the previous grandfather also relied on the Su family, his colleagues were also afraid of the Su family, and kept releasing the intention of cooperation to other families. It's a pity he didn't make it.
After the little grandfather took the throne, the position of the Su family was completely unbreakable, and the interests that were given up when the grandfather suppressed them in the past may have to be taken back. And now the wealthy family who has this part of the interests is definitely not willing to give it up, and the battle inside is more than a bloody four words can be described.
"The sky in Zhangzhou City is about to change."
Wei Zan said lazily.
He actually doesn't care, he came here to solve the problem of the Wei clan, whoever is this grandfather is the same for the Wei family based in the north, so he reminded Wei Jin, don't fall into this quagmire on impulse.
"The eldest young master of the He family is here, do you think it's really just not worrying about you?" Wei Zan squinted and smiled, "What they plan is not small. If you are really the life-saving benefactor of the little grandfather, then if they befriend you, you will also befriend the little grandfather. The He family's base camp is in Taizhou, but they don't mind coming to Zhangzhou to get a piece of the pie. ”
Hearing this, Wei Jin felt that his head hurt.
Knowing that the situation here was so chaotic, she would have thought more about whether to come over. It's good now, everyone is already here, so you can't pack up your things and leave right away, right?
"There's one more thing." Wei Zan suddenly remembered something, "You have to beware of the Duan family." ”
"The Duan family?" Wei Jin's face was a little strange, and she subconsciously thought of the most famous Dali Duan Clan, but she was sure that there was no Dali Duan Clan in this time and space, at least not yet.
"The ancestors of the Duan family are from the Central Plains, originally from Heluo, three hundred years ago when the Central Plains was in turmoil, the ancestors of the Duan family took their clansmen south to the area of South Vietnam. At its most prominent, the Duan family had ruled South Vietnam for almost a hundred years, but it was a pity that ......"
Wei Zan shook his head, the descendants of the Duan family were too arrogant and arrogant, and they had defeated the foundation laid by their ancestors, and at this time they had the idea of the Zhennan Mansion, wanting to marry the daughter of the Duan family to the little grandfather, and control Zhangzhou and South Vietnam from the future little grandfather.
He pouted, these old things, when the people of the Su clan and the people of Dongyue are dead? Even the old town Nangong knew that he couldn't marry the daughter of the Duan family, why did they think that the little grandfather would marry the daughter of the Duan family?
"I think it's a big loss." Wei Jin said, "You tricked me into coming here, did you already know something?" ”
"Speak well." Wei Zan didn't admit it, "When did I lie to you?" Just ask you if you want to play, and you agreed. ”
Squinting his eyes and snorting coldly, Wei Jin picked up the information about the local scholar clan and looked at it carefully.
What else can I do when I come here? Sitting still is not her style. The ancients knew that they knew that they would win all battles, although she did not go into battle to kill the enemy, but who can say that the intrigue between seemingly peaceful women is weaker than the battlefield? One hurts the body, the other hurts the heart!
