Chapter 189: Grievances and Hatreds
Jiang Shan glanced at Qin Mingyue with some curiosity, she really couldn't figure it out, how could the second sister in front of her, who seemed to not eat fireworks in the world, be curious about gossip like family struggle?
However, since the second sister is interested and she has time, she naturally has to talk about it.
Jiang Sankou said it, and it took a full meal time to roughly explain. Jiang Sango's eloquence is very good, and the ups and downs of the plot made Qin Mingyue feel very enjoyable.
Here's the thing. Because Jinzhong is mountainous, the locals go out more often to do business in order to support their families. Business is not limited to Jin Province. Many people traveled all over the country, not only in the Great Zhou, but also in the other three countries.
Jin merchants have a long reputation in the Great Zhou.
The Jiang family was just ordinary people at the beginning, but the ancestors of the Jiang family knew a few words, and the business was smoother, he was smarter, and he was also diligent, and gradually the business was opened and some wealth was accumulated. Become a wealthy businessman in the local county. His descendants are also diligent and capable businessmen, adhering to the concept of treating people kindly, being kind to others, and cultivating and reading heirlooms, and the Jiang family's business has become bigger and bigger after four or five generations of accumulation.
In the hands of Jiang Sango's father, Jiang He, he has become the richest man in Jin Province. Naturally, life is going very smoothly. After the accumulation of these four or five generations, the Jiang family not only accumulated wealth quickly, but also had personal connections throughout Jin Province. Especially in the Jin merchant system, there are many marriages. Jiang He's sister-in-law married into the Qiao family, another wealthy businessman in Jin Province, and was also the younger brother of the head of the Qiao family. This is Jiang Sango's aunt. Jiang Sango's aunt worked as a matchmaker a few years ago and introduced the eldest daughter of the head of the Qiao family to marry Jiang Yuan, Jiang Shan's eldest brother.
Such a thing of kissing and kissing was originally very common among Jin merchants. Everyone is living a good life. However, this Jiang Sango's sister-in-law, Qiao, is a short-tempered person. She was originally the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, she grew up with gold and jade, and she was a little arrogant, and after marrying into the Jiang family, the Jiang family was thick, so she naturally treated her better. Even Jiang Yuan let her everywhere.
These such forbearances did not make Qiao's temper docile, but she became even more violent, and she was also very jealous, not only did she manage Jiang Yuan to death, but she didn't need any maids and concubines in the house, and later, Jiang Yuan was not allowed to go out to do business.
As the heir to the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuan learned some books when he was a child, and when he grew up to the age of twelve, he began to learn to do business in the family's money bank, cloth village and other businesses. After marrying a wife and having children, according to the rules of Jin merchants, they began to be able to go out to do business. The good business of Jin merchants is not good to operate locally, most of them have to go outside to do business.
However, when Jiang Yuan was supposed to go to business, Qiao's family was desperate and did not leave the door. At this moment, Jiang Yuan couldn't bear it. Although the Jiang family is thick, it has accumulated five generations, with a large population, uncles, and cousins, and even several brothers. If he doesn't go out, the other brothers will become successful, how will he sit firmly in the position of the head of the family in the future?
Therefore, not only Jiang Yuan was anxious, but even Jiang He's old husband and wife were also very anxious. Everyone began to persuade Qiao's. However, Qiao's just didn't agree, for this, the Jiang family had no way, and even invited the two in-laws of the Qiao family to persuade their daughter, but Qiao's just didn't agree.
Jiang Yuan was angry, so he had a quarrel with Qiao's and went out by himself. This business trip is to Jiangnan. When he came back six or seven months later, business was naturally very smooth, and Jiang Yuan also gained a lot of knowledge. But Qiao's family, who was struggling at home, was unwilling.
After returning from Jiangnan, Jiang Yuan's mood was also smooth, so he compensated Qiao's family, but Qiao's family said that Jiang Yuan must be looking for flowers and willows in Jiangnan, and he was blindly angry. Jiang Yuan's slowly tempered spirit, and his feelings faded.
For this, Jiang Yuan is in the shop every day, or he goes to the restaurant to drink, and slowly, under the leadership of people, he began to go to the Qinglou to drink, in the Qinglou, he met a red card girl, and the two of them had a hot fight.
Seeing that such a situation had really come true, Qiao's was even more distressed, and he often made a fuss, and even went to the Qinglou to make trouble. The Jiang family was also miserable. The Qiao family was not happy to see their son-in-law like this, and often came to help their daughter discipline their son-in-law. The two families gradually became separated.
At this time, something happened suddenly, Jiang Sango's aunt who married into the Qiao family suddenly fell ill and died. The Jiang family naturally wanted to go to Qiao's house to see the situation, and after seeing Aunt Jiang's situation, the Jiang family suspected that there was something wrong with Aunt Jiang's death. The two families quarreled, and even went to court.
At this time, Jiang Yuan once went to the Qinglou again and was found by his wife, Qiao's made a fuss, not only made trouble, but also insulted Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuan's dead aunt in words. Jiang Yuan was annoyed for a moment and pushed Qiao's by mistake. Qiao's head touched the corner of the table and died.
At this moment, the Qiao family was unwilling, and the two families turned against each other, not only did they not become in-laws, but they also fought with each other.
At first, he just went to court, and he also went to prison for this Jiang Yuan and was sentenced to exile in Lingnan. Jiang Yuan left, and the matter between the Jiang family and the Qiao family not only did not end, but the hatred deepened.
The Qiao family not only dealt with the Jiang family in the government, but also dealt with the Jiang family in business. The Jiang family has been doing business for several generations, and they are all shrewd and generous, and the Qiao family has not been able to get any benefits from several shots. The anger of the Qiao family was even more intense, they simply went to the capital, found the time to find the party, climbed into the relationship with the king of Jin, and used several officials in Jin Province and Jiangnan to start attacking the Jiang family.
In an order for the Jiang family to supply the palace, he made a manipulation, which made the Jiang family convicted, and Jiang He, the head of the Jiang family, was also arrested and imprisoned.
The Jiang family's business plummeted, and when they saw that the family was about to be ruined, Jiang Sango's second brother Jiang Liu and Jiang Coral stood up to turn the tide. After Jiang Coral and Jiang Liu stabilized their business, they went to the capital together to find another aunt who married into the capital to help. Only then did I meet Qin Guosong.
After investigation, Qin Guosong knew that this matter was indeed framed by the Qiao family. I stepped in to help and resolved the matter. Jiang He was released, and the Jiang family's business continued as usual. Although the Qiao family was unwilling, they could only do so, and they sent silver to the capital again, hoping that the next time they made a move, they would completely trip the Jiang family.
The Jiang family faced a crisis and went to Qin Guosong again. Qin Guosong had no choice, and suddenly remembered that he was going to find a daughter-in-law for his second brother, so he felt that Jiang Coral was a good person, and proposed to let Jiang Coral marry Qin Guotan. After marriage, Qin Guotan will follow Jiang Coral back to Jin Province to live. With Qin Guotan, the elder brother of the national teacher, sitting in charge of the Jiang family, it is estimated that the officials of Jin Province will no longer dare to wronged the Jiang family.
After discussing this proposal, the Jiang family all agreed very much. It's the equivalent of getting a super amulet at home.
