017 [Strict Etiquette]
The lead mountain Fei clan, the original three main sects: Henglin Fei clan, Fan Wu Fei clan, Fei Dun Fei clan.
During the Xuande period, Henglin Fei prospered because of business, and before setting foot in officialdom, he had done business in Zhejiang and Fujian.
After crossing Hukou County and staying in Jiujiang for two days, they crossed Poyang Lake and entered the Xin River, and took a boat all the way to Hekou Town, Leadshan County.
Don't look at Jiangxi's backward economy in modern times, but in ancient times, it belonged to the thoroughfare of eight provinces, and there is a saying that "Hankou can not be bought, and the estuary can not be filled".
Hekou Town is the territory of the Fei clan in Lead Mountain, and the ancestors rose from this commercial town!
Here, it can reach Zhejiang to the east and Fujian to the southeast. If you return to Poyang Lake, it will reach Guangdong in the south, Huguang in the west, and the Yangtze River in the north. There are many rivers and lakes on all roads, and there are official roads connected to each other, and the trade is staggeringly prosperous.
When passing by Hekou Town, Zhao Han looked stupid directly, he never imagined that a "remote town" could reach such an extent.
If the porcelain and tea from Jingdezhen want to be sold to Fujian, they must pass through Hekou Town. If you want to sell to Zhejiang quickly, you can also take the Xinhe River, and then go straight to Jinhua along the official road, and Hekou Town is also a must-pass place.
Ming Dynasty porcelain was exported to Europe, and at least more than half of Jingdezhen porcelain was transported to coastal ports through Hekou Town.
No wonder Fei is so awesome, no wonder Fei Yinghuan is generous, and has occupied the treasure land for two hundred years.
Between the town and the ancestral house of the Henglin Fei family, there is a bluestone avenue, and there is a string of arches in the distance: Zhuangyuan Fang, Tanhua Fang, Jinshi Fang, University Shifang, Shangshu Fang......
The boat slowly sailed through Hekou Town and continued up the Xin River, and Wei Jianxiong explained: "Gongzi's family is at the foot of Goose Lake Mountain, and it has been separated from the Henglin Master Sect for many years. ”
To put it more bluntly, although the Zongzhi where Fei Yinghuan is located, although it cannot touch Hekou Town, it controls the nearest commercial waterway from Jiangxi to Zhejiang!
Xinhe, renamed Xinjiang in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Han really hasn't been here.
Enjoy the scenery of the water town all the way, and soon come to Goose Lake Town. Although this town is not as prosperous as Hekou Town, it is also a commercial town, and countless Jingdezhen teas and porcelain are transported east from here to all parts of Zhejiang.
Most of the shops in Goose Lake Town are Fei Yinghuan's family.
A small half of the land around Goose Lake Town is owned by Fei Yinghuan's family.
"The eldest young master is back! The eldest young master is back! ”
The moment Fei Yinghuan stepped out of the cabin, a dock worker recognized him, and immediately began to yell at the top of his voice.
Then, shouts continued from the docks to the streets.
Soon there were a few young people running wildly in the direction of Goose Lake Mountain, and you chased me like a race. Whoever runs to the Fei family first to report the news will get more rewards, how can such a good thing be left behind.
"Big young master!"
"Big young master!"
Along the way, the people you meet along the way stop to greet them.
Fei Yinghuan held her head high and was always smiling, as if a big star was reviewing fans.
In Zhao Han's mind, Fei Gongzi's image has changed greatly at this moment, and he has perfectly incarnated as a ...... The stupid son of the landlord's family.
Observing these ordinary people carefully, Zhao Han found that their mental outlook was good, and it was obvious that they could live a small life for the time being.
Out of the town, it is the field.
Many farmers are working in the fields, and the autumn grain seedlings are lush and green, and it looks like another bumper harvest will be ushered in this year.
If you only look at the surface, it seems that the whole people here have entered a well-off society!
After walking for a while, a group of people hurried in.
The two men rushed to Fei Yinghuan, put down the slide rod and said respectfully: "Young master, please get on the sedan chair." ”
Fei Yinghuan didn't say much, and sat down habitually.
"Get up the sedan car, hold the umbrella!" Another middle-aged house slave shouted, but it was a scholar who grew up with Fei Yinghuan, and now he is a middle-level manager in the Fei family.
The husband carried the sliding rod forward, and a healthy servant held up a sun umbrella to prevent Young Master Fei from being sunburned.
There is a house slave in front of the sliding rod to open the way to prevent accidental escape from people and animals, and accidentally collide with the eldest young master.
The sliding rod was followed by three boys, all of whom were Fei Yinghuan's servants.
The bookcase that Wei Jianxiong was carrying and the bags in Zhao Han's hand were also taken over by other house slaves.
The steward, who was born as a scholar, shouted all the way with the sliding rod: "The eldest young master is home, the eldest young master is home!" ”
I'm Nima!
Zhao Han was dumbfounded, one person just went home, and the battle was like a feudal official going out on patrol.
The most nonsense thing is that the three boys who followed the sliding pole were just servants, and they were all wearing silk.
The gentry of the world, really damn it!
A farmer came with a dung bucket, so he chose to avoid it from a distance, and hid dozens of steps away, for fear that the dung water would stink the eldest young master of the Fei family.
Now that I know the Leadshan Fei's, why did he not go out of Jinshi for two consecutive generations, and this generation even has only one lone seedling, right?
The family style is broken!
When Fei Hong and Fei Yu were alive, Fei was not allowed to divide the family and property, and the brothers and sisters must be united and friendly. The descendants of the Fei family are not allowed to indulge in pleasures, even if they have a reputation for fame, they also strictly regulate the number of slaves, and they can bring at most one or two when they go out.
But now, the family rules that are not allowed to be divided have long been completely broken, and countless small branches have been divided.
Instead of working together, the various clans and branches competed with each other to annex each other, and even secretly colluded with outsiders.
The business clansmen sent to Fujian and Zhejiang directly set up their own doors in other provinces, and the huge family power was dismembered into countless parts.
The hearts of the people are scattered, and they cannot be gathered.
The descendants of the Fei family gradually have no intention of taking the imperial examination, and usually indulge in enjoyment, and they can buy a miscellaneous petty official when they are admitted to the show. If you are choked enough to take the test, you will cheat if you can cheat, and if you can't cheat, you will gnaw at old age for life.
After another moment, the building complex located on the mountain appeared in Zhao Han's sight, covering an area of at least two or three hundred acres.
More than 100 clansmen and domestic slaves stood at the door waiting for the eldest young master to return.
The leader is Fei Yinghuan's second brother Fei Yingxi, followed by the third brother Fei Yingke.
"Big brother!" The brothers stepped forward to salute.
The sliding pole landed, and immediately a house slave helped Fei Yinghuan down.
Young Master Fei returned the salute and asked, "What about the fourth brother?" ”
Fei Yingxi replied: "The fourth brother is not at home all day, and he doesn't know where to go crazy. Big brother, hurry up and enter the door, the two elders are waiting for you at home. ”
On the threshold of the main entrance, a brazier is placed.
Fei Yinghuan stepped over the brazier, able to remove the bad luck that had been contaminated all the way.
As for the Zhao Han brothers and sisters, as well as Fei Jianxiong and other domestic slaves, they could only enter through the side door by detour.
The strict rules of etiquette and religion were suddenly revealed.
No matter how close Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong are, even if they are like brothers, the master is the master, the slave is the slave, and the gap in identity cannot be crossed.
Zhao Han took his little sister's hand, followed Wei Jianxiong into the side door, and came to a courtyard with all kinds of twists and turns.
Wei Jianxiong explained: "This is Gongzi's Jingxing Garden, and there are more than 20 rooms nearby, all of which are Gongzi's private land. Unless you are summoned, you are not allowed to enter the third courtyard. ”
"Thank you Uncle Wei for your advice." Zhao Han hugged his fists.
The three of them came to Wei Jianxiong's room and waited to hear the fate.
After waiting for a while, Fei Yinghuan visited his parents and did not return, but the scholar who grew up with him came.
Wei Jianxiong introduced: "This is Mr. Fei Li, the chief manager of Jingxingyuan. ”
Zhao Han immediately pulled his sister to salute: "The kid has seen Steward Fei." ”
"Brother Wei is fine," Fei Liao first smiled and reminisced with Wei Jianxiong, and then suddenly asked Zhao Han with an expressionless face, "You are the boy brought back by the eldest young master?" ”
Zhao Han could only salute again: "Boy Zhao Han, I've seen Steward Fei." ”
Fei Liao immediately summoned a maid and ordered: "Mo Xiang, take this brother and sister to Zhongqin Courtyard and pick a good house for them." ”
Without waiting for Zhao Han to leave, Fei Liao smiled again, and hooked up with Wei Jianxiong: "Brother Wei, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, let's go have two drinks." ”
Under the rules of the family religion, there are also many ranks of slaves.
Maybe Fei Ying is better than speaking, but this steward Fei Liao has to be careful.
Fuck the rules!
