The eldest lord found that the invitations to invite him to dinner and wine have skyrocketed recently.

Everyone knows what the reason is, and he doesn't have the heart to go one by one, and he is only willing to move to the invitation of a few relatives.

It's just that what makes him depressed is that the banquet that says that eating wine is actually to build a good relationship is not so easy to mix.

No, at the family banquet set by the Shuanghou of the Shi family, the eldest man looked at the two cousins speechlessly, and he didn't have a good temperament; "Don't drink it, you two just drink your stomach and don't even think about drinking me, if you have anything to say, I will help if you can, and don't complain if you can't help!"

In other words, the Shuanghou of the Shi family is enough, and he will pour wine when he comes up, as if he wants to pour wine into the eldest master before talking, so that he will not be embarrassed?

Dream on!

The eldest master can easily carry qi and blood, and even speeding up the flow of qi and blood is a trivial matter.

No matter how much alcohol you drink, as long as you accelerate the flow of qi and blood, you can dissolve the alcohol in a short time, except that the stomach is full of liquid, what else can it do?

On the contrary, it was the Shuanghou of the Shi family, who took turns to pour himself into a daze, and his brain was not very bright.

"Enhou, our brother is bitter, he has been nesting in the military department and can't move, and he doesn't know when he will be able to get out!"

Shi Er borrowed the strength of the wine, drunk and misty, and poured bitter water: "We don't ask you to help us go further in the military department, as long as we can go to the local area to unify the army!" ”

Seeing the old man's opinion, Shi San nodded in response: "That's it!" ”

The eldest man smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "This matter is very simple!" ”

For him, it is indeed quite simple, since he does not shy away from the relationship with Prince Zhongshun, it is nothing to borrow the name of this prince.

"Really!"

Shi Jia's eyes lit up together, how could he still be half drunk?

"Nature is true!"

The eldest lord put down the wine cup and said angrily: "But there is a premise, you haven't joined other royal bigwigs before, otherwise things won't be simple!" ”

Shi San smiled bitterly: "With the current situation of our brothers, which royal tycoon will look up to it?" ”

"That's good!"

The eldest man got up directly and said with a smile: "I'm too lazy to drink wine, you wait for the news in a while, and I won't disappoint you!" ”

Thinking in my heart, the two cousins of the Shi family also have some real materials, but just like Jia Yu's original body, they were affected by the abolition of the prince at the beginning, and they have been suppressed until now.

It is said that the emperor is really enough, obviously he can't see the expansion of the first prince's power shake his throne, and he forced the first prince to lose every inch and take risks.

As a result, the abolished prince committed suicide, and the emperor played what kind of father and son invited, and killed the cronies around the abolished prince, and by the way, the family behind them were implicated.

The boss of the Shi family died on the battlefield for the sake of the family, and the boss of the Shi family worked the battlefield, and finally fought for a marquis, but after returning to Beijing, he only mixed up with a middle-level official position in the military department.

In short, since the end of the first prince, the Shi family has basically fallen into a predicament, and the family's strength and momentum have continued to decline, and the situation is now quite bad.

Of course, after all, the Shi family has two marquis in charge, even if they don't have any real power in their hands, if they don't have any enterprising spirit, it will not be difficult to maintain the family from continuing to decline.

However, it is obvious that the Shuanghou of the Shi family is not willing to live such a dull life.

The eldest master understands the feelings of the Shi brothers, and the two Shi Hou are also under psychological pressure.

Afang Palace is three hundred miles, and you can't live in a history of Jinling!

This sentence that has been circulated in Jinling before, describing the historians of the four major families, leaving aside the taboo Afang Palace, the description of the historian is the most slinging of the four families.

Ya, isn't it that the descendants of the family are flourishing and there are many people, and they also pulled out the Afang Palace of the First Emperor to make a footnote, which is not the same in essence?

As the two Shi Hou who are the bosses of the Shi family, the pressure on them is quite great.

The resources of the entire Shi family are in the hands of the two Shi Hou, they have to plan for the future of the Shi family's descendants, and they also have to promote the Shi family's capable clansmen.

But the ability of the two marquis of the Shi family is limited, and where they can help the clansmen, in addition to money and food, officialdom resources and the like are pitiful.

For this matter, the two marquis have been complained by the family elders, but what can be done?

The entire Shi family, the best mixed is the Shi family Shuanghou, even if the clansmen have the ability, they don't have enough resources if they want to get ahead, and they don't even have to think about taking refuge in other big forces.

In the feudal era, the family was one, and even if the clansmen had a good future, they had to keep pace with the family, not that they could take refuge at will with any big force they wanted, and the interests of the entire family had to be taken into account.

If you really want to focus on your personal future, then it's okay to leave the clan, as long as you leave the clan, it has nothing to do with the family, you can toss it at will, unless you commit a major crime in addition to the nine clans, it will be difficult to affect the family.

Lin Ruhai's Lin lineage is the best example, in the last years of the previous dynasty, Lin Ruhai's ancestor was talented, but he was held back by the family and could not display it.

Later, the world was too chaotic, and the Lin family's suppression of Lin Ruhai's ancestor had to be relaxed, and finally let him leave the family smoothly before he came out, and directly joined Taizu's rebel team.

After the founding of the country, Lin Ruhai's ancestor was made a marquis as a military advisor, and the Lin family leaned over when they saw it, but Lin Ruhai's ancestor categorically refused.

This is also the main reason why the relationship between Lin Ruhai and the Suzhou Lin family is not harmonious, and it can even be said that it is extremely cold.

Naturally, the Shi family did not encounter such a situation, and the Shi family did not have a brilliant character like Lin Ruhai's ancestor, although there were some talents among the clansmen, none of them could enter the imperial examination, and they did not feel that the family hindered their future, and they wanted to make trouble for the clan to divide the clan, but even so, the Shijia Shuanghou also felt great pressure.

That is, when the eldest lord was a political envoy in Su Province, he helped the clansmen of the four major families of Jinling to go to sea to do business, and helped some enterprising children who wanted to mix in the officialdom to enter the yamen as eight or nine petty officials, and properly settled the clansmen on the Jinling side, otherwise the pressure on the two marquis of the Shi family would be greater.

But that's the case, seeing that the Jinling people are thriving one by one, either making a lot of money or entering the officialdom, the Shi family in the capital can't sit still.

The Shi family is really a huge family with a thriving population, even if most of the clansmen are stranded in Jinling, there are still more than a dozen clansmen in the capital, among which the number of adult clansmen is almost hundreds, which is definitely a terrifying number.

Once they make a fuss, the Shijia Shuanghou may not be able to suppress it.

Long before the eldest man did not return to Beijing, in fact, the Shuanghou of the Shi family had already had the idea of hugging his thighs, they were all cousins, and there was nothing that he couldn't pull his face.

I just think that when the eldest lord was silent, the days were much worse than the two Shi Hou who were on an errand in the military department, and the two Shi Hou had a psychological advantage when they faced the big man before.

It's always a little embarrassing to turn it around this time, and to make them adapt to the huge difference in strength between the two sides.

After the eldest lord returned to Beijing, the two marquis of the Shi family were a little entangled, and they didn't know whether to ask for the door.

As a result, when the news spread that Prince Zhongshun valued and favored the eldest master, the two Shihou were not entangled anymore and were ready to hug their thighs directly.

Fortunately, the eldest man is a man of temperament, and he does not have those bad problems in the officialdom, and he agreed to the request of the two without the slightest hesitation.

What is this, this is a relative.

The eldest lord didn't pay attention to what the Shi family Shuanghou had in his heart, his mind was very simple, since the other party asked for him, and it was within his ability, it was nothing to help.

The description of the historian in the original work of the Red Chamber is good, and it can be seen from Shi Xiangyun's mouth that the life of the historian is getting more and more difficult.

However, there was a period of time when Shi Xiangyun seemed to have left with an uncle who went out to be an official, and the Shi family should have improved a little during that time.

How did you get up?

It's definitely not for today, the original work of Red Mansion is a tragic story, and in the end, the four major families should be finished, and the historian will definitely not be an exception.

Speaking of which, the Shi family either defected to Prince Zhongshun or the King of Yizhong County, and it is strange that he can win a favor in the end, and he will not let the Shi family go today.

At the moment, the Shi family has obviously not chosen to take sides, and their life has not reached the point where they can't go on.

The Shi family is also a military meritorious, and there will be no shortage of good things at the bottom of the box at home, and a good family of the marquis with military merits can be forced to the point where the young lady and the main mother are forced to use needlework together, and it is obvious that the shortage of money has reached a certain point.

This matter should have something to do with today's debt collection.

If this is deduced, the Shi brothers are also powerful characters, and they quietly gritted their teeth and paid off the debt, but unfortunately they couldn't get out smoothly in the end.

Refusing the retention of the two cousins of the Shi family, the eldest lord returned to the other courtyard and wrote a letter directly to Prince Zhongshun, asking the prince to help with the activity.

Don't look at the two marquis of the Shi family who have almost no reputation in Beijing, in fact, they all have real skills, otherwise where did Shi San's marquis title come from?

As long as they are given a chance, they can get ahead, and it just so happens that Prince Zhongshun needs a local general who can be trusted to help guard the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and protect his overseas trade rear base.

I believe that Prince Zhongshun will give the eldest lord this face after investigating the Shuanghou of the Shi family.

Obviously, the eldest master is definitely a fragrant and gluttonous existence during this time, and not long after returning to the other courtyard, Lian Er came to the door with a bitter face.

"Master, you must go back to the house this time, otherwise my son will really not be able to live!"

Seeing the eldest master, Lian Er had the urge to hug his legs and cry bitterly.

"What's going on again?"

Glaring at this guy, the eldest man said angrily: "Anyway, there should be nothing going on in the house recently, Lao Tzu, I also want to live a few days of clean life!" ”

"It's not Brother Zhen yet, he wants to hug his thighs but can't find the master!"

Lian Er smiled bitterly: "The old lady didn't know how to hear the news, there happened to be some family affairs, and I want to discuss it with the master!" ”
