The Fang family was also a middle-class nobleman of Daliang, and it was also a well-known existence in Mobei, and the family had hundreds of elite soldiers, and of course there were more people who were nominally controlled by the Fang family. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just waited until the first emperor of the Great Liang swept [***], and the original half-people and half-bandit families like the Fang family in Mobei were suppressed to the end one by one, and there was no way out.

Originally, the Fang family had already declined in Fang Zheng's generation, and the so-called heir was just an inferior gentleman who only knew how to have fun, if it continued like this, the Fang family would be like many other small families, and eventually disappear silently.

At this time, the eldest daughter of the Fang family went out of the mountain, and when she returned home, she took over all the rights strongly, and even did not hesitate to imprison all the uncles who opposed her, and then asked the Fang family to leave the small town of Mobei, which had been in operation for a hundred years, and moved to Yongzhou, which was far less prosperous than it is now.

Da Liang is no more than other nomadic peoples, especially the martial Mobei, has a very strong sense of the countryside, and will not leave his hometown easily, let alone move the entire family to a place thousands of miles away. But the kite was too strong to tolerate any dissent, and hundreds of children and old finally began their long migration journey driven by the long knives of the kite.

These frontiers in the Western Regions of Mobei are naturally indispensable to horse bandits who come and go like the wind, and the mighty migrating Fang family is simply the meat on the lips, even if Fang Zheng carefully arranges the route, but it is inevitable to be peeped at, and when the migration road is not yet a third of the way, there is finally a horse bandit who can't hold back the impulse and take the lead.

Although the Fang family has long since declined, but after all, it has also been brilliant, no matter what, there are always some family backgrounds, just as those bandits were smiling and preparing to rush into the crowd to kill and loot wantonly, they saw a girl dressed in red standing on a horse.

Hundreds of horse bandits are not a small force, naturally do not put the old and young of the Fang family in their eyes, but only when Fang Zheng is an ignorant girl who does not know the height of the sky, the leader of the horse bandits, Yin, smiled and was ready to capture Fang Zheng alive in one fell swoop and humiliate him, but was beheaded by his sharp knife, and then Fang Zheng rushed to the horse bandits with dozens of young people, and the horse bandits in a panic couldn't resist for a while, and then reacted, and the remaining bandits bypassed the fierce red-clothed Zheng and went to the Fang family convoy to burn and loot.

They were all outlaws who licked blood from the edge of the knife, and the boss of the horse bandit was killed in one face, which aroused the blood of the remaining people, so they divided a group of people to entangle the kite, and the rest of the people smiled and prepared to use hundreds of women and children to sacrifice knives. At this time, a pair of cavalry patrolling the border happened to pass by, killed a dry horse bandit, and rescued the Fang family.

At that time, it was Chu Mad who had begun to become famous, and the rest of the matter was much easier, with the Chu family's connections in the army, there were people from the army who took care of them openly and secretly along the way, and finally let the Fang family complete this great migration.

When the Fang family arrived in Yongzhou, it was almost the time when Emperor Liang was determined to develop the northwest. Compared with other families in the northwest, he easily obtained a new appointment of the imperial court, and later became the spokesperson of the imperial court in the northwest business community, compared with the previous half-dead state, it is simply heaven and earth, and the wisdom of the far-sighted Fang family eldest lady is not only these, in the second year when the Fang family moved to Yongzhou, the border city where the Fang family was originally located became a frontal battlefield for the Liang and Hu people, and finally turned into a sea of fire, and the people in the city did not survive.

It's just that Da Liang is not as good as the Western Regions, after all, women are not allowed to go to the foreground, and Fang Zheng reluctantly handed over power after the Fang family has embarked on the road of rapid development, and then the person in charge of the Fang family does not know what kind of intention it is, and finally let Fang Zheng marry into the Chu family, which is completely tied to the Chu family of the Great Liang family, as for whether Fang Zheng is willing or not, it no longer matters.

............................................................................................................... Chu Nan told Chu Mad about the deeds of Chu Mad Lady, the heroic lady of the Fang family, and when it was time for the family banquet in the evening, Yang Mei went up and sat next to Fang Zheng, looking at Fang Zheng with some unconcealed admiration in her eyes.

For the young lady of a big family who has been strictly controlled since childhood, Fang Zheng's unrestrained and chic deeds should only appear in legendary novels, and now that I have seen it, the shock in my heart can be imagined.

Fang Zheng's deeds before marrying Chu Mad are not a secret in the Chu family, but after a turn of thought, he thought of the reason for Yangmei's attitude, stretched out his hand and patted Yangmei's hand, and sighed slightly, from the original chivalrous girl who was happy to enmity and hatred across the rivers and lakes to the current gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, the change of mood is really difficult to say to people, Yangmei envy herself, why don't you envy Yangmei?

The smile on Chu's face was a little reluctant, although Fang Zheng had arranged to marry back to the Chu family by himself, but he didn't seem to have much intention of being close to him, it seemed that he was closer to Chu Yue and Yangmei, and there was an old lady in the family, but it seemed that he, the head mother of the Chu family, was becoming more and more isolated.

Today's family banquet was ordered by the old lady, in addition to Chu Mad Chu Nan and other five brothers, Chu Yue, Yang Mei and Fang Zheng such female dependents also attended the banquet, according to the old lady's words, what kind of family banquet is it to obey those strange rules? This made the Chu family, who had always emphasized that big families must have big rules, more and more depressed.

The old lady walked in with Chu Yue's support, stretched out her hand to signal everyone to sit down, and looked at it, but did not sit on the upper seat specially prepared by the Chu family, but sat on the position of the square zither hand, the Chu family was restless, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dare to persuade, got up to give Chu Yue a place, everyone knew that even if Chu Yue entered the palace, he would sit next to the old lady.

Although it was a family banquet, although the women were at the table, the men and women still stood at separate tables.

Because there is an absolute authoritative old lady at the table of the female dependents, Fang Zheng Yangmei and others are not keen on family fighting, and they are not bad at receiving people and things, and they are also full of excitement and closeness for a while, so they will not be cold.

But the table where Chu Yuan was different.

Although Chu Yuan can also be called a man of his own words in the Chu family, Chu Qing and Chu Ping are in awe of Chu Yuan, this time it is inevitable that they will not be a little trembling, and they have to think carefully several times when they speak, for fear of saying something wrong, Chu An seems to have something on his mind, sitting there sullenly and speechless, while Chu Nan and Chu Mad sat opposite Chu Yuan, discussing something in a serious whisper.

Chu Yuan looked at a table of juniors with different expressions, and felt a sense of frustration, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight is a family banquet, don't worry too much about the rules, let's eat." ”

Having said that, a few people still waited for Chu Yuan to eat before they started to move their chopsticks, Chu Qingping naturally couldn't find a topic to discuss with Chu Yuan for a while, and just buried his head in eating, Chu An looked at Chu Nan and Chu Mad from time to time, and shook his head and said nothing, Chu Nan sandwiched a few chopsticks dishes, and ate a few bites symbolizing his surname.

Chu Yuan looked at the atmosphere and was a little silent, knocked on the table and frowned: "Chu Qing, Chu Ping, you are going to leave Beijing to take up your post after the New Year, you two must remember that you must not rely on your family background to do mischief, you must respect the officials, make friends with your colleagues, and don't let your father down!"

Chu Ping's surname is Chunliang, and he should say yes in a low voice, but Chu Qing hesitated for a while, and said with a smile and carefully: "What my father said is that I will also take my second brother out to make friends with some scholars from all over the world another day, and it is not a way to stay at home all the time." ”

Chu Yuan frowned and looked at Chu Ping, and said: "Since you have passed the hurdle of the imperial examination, you can put the books away first, and the most important thing now is the knowledge outside the books, otherwise you will only be flustered and at a loss when you get to the place! Those sage teachings are teaching you how to be a person, and knowledge outside the books can teach you how to do things and how to eat." Those who cling to the knowledge of those saints will only starve to death!"

After teaching Chu Ping, Chu Yuan looked at Chu Qing again, these recent days, the prince is very active, and Chu Qing has also made a lot of celebrities around the prince, although these things are normal, but Chu Yuan still knocked and said: "I asked you to wait to make friends with the Magi, not to let you hold the unity party, do you know that the existence of the tide file has been rumored in the capital recently, and the fourth young master of the Chu family is an important person among them! "I wanted to say a few words about the position of the crown prince and the party struggle, but I still kept my mouth shut, saying that he didn't necessarily understand these things, and it was just a waste of words.

Chu Qing was not angry in his heart, the prince was elegant and magnificent, and he had appeared from time to time recently, although they had a few general conversations, but they easily convinced many scholars, although the prestige of the prince in Shilin was not as good as that of the seventh prince Li Yi, but it was not trivial, and he had made great efforts in this, otherwise how could the prince hint that he would definitely help him in the future?

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Nan, shook his head and didn't speak, Chu Nan didn't do what he said since he was a child, especially after the incident in Jiangnan, this momentum became more and more obvious, and he beat Guo Zhong in front of him, showing his unruly surname. As for Chu Mad, it was also beyond his expectations, but he had mastered huge power in just a few years, and now he could only give a few words of advice from the side, and he could no longer reprimand him at every turn.

Fang Zheng and Yangmei were also careful to coax the old lady to be happy, and laughed with Chu Yue from time to time, but it seemed much more harmonious and warm, and the old lady rarely showed a hint of a smile.

No matter what everyone thinks, this is also a rare scene for the Chu family recently, at least everyone has gathered, and at least on the surface, it is a row of peaceful scenes, and there is no contradiction in sight.

When the time came, the old lady was the first to get up, holding Chu Yue's hand and walking out, muttering to herself as she walked: "There are few children in the family who have their feet, and this banquet can't be eaten after all." ”

The expressions of the people in the room were different, Chu's mind moved slightly, and he was determined to tell Chu An about his family, while Chu Nan Chu was crazy and shook his head relatively, Fang Zheng was knocked off, his expression was faint, but Yangmei could not hide her panic, and she lowered her head sullenly and thought about something.
