Chapter 24: Desperate wealth for merchants to sit on Jia

Zhen Zhiwen thought that such a thing as "eating out of households" would only happen in rural places where there was a lack of education.

I never thought that my mother, who had always been kind to her family, would do such a thing.

He vaguely remembered that he had decided to go into business and had discussed it with his mother for the night. At the end, the gray-eyed mother shuddered and pulled out two layers of gold from the jewelry box.

In this dynasty, agriculture was heavy and merchants were suppressed, and merchants were not allowed to wear gold and silver, and they were not allowed to wear expensive clothes such as Luo and silk.

The Zhen family was originally a landlord, and the fourth room was lifted again, which is considered an official gentry's family, and some gold and silver artifacts can be kept.

But the four rooms are gone, and the big house has to do business, and if you have these things, it will be considered trespassing.

At that time, he was still a little strange, those gold patterns were not old-fashioned, and he thought it was a dowry left by his mother to a few grandchildren.

Zhen Zhiwen woke up suddenly.

He has been a businessman for many years to serve his mother, and he asks himself how upright he is on weekdays, and he has the name of "Confucian businessman", and he can also comfort his ancestors in a dignified manner under Jiuquan.

The Zhen family's huge family business, the first principal of his business, and the first batch of goods were covered with the blood and tears of this girl.

Mute women can't speak, and orphans have no relatives.

There was an awkward silence in the ancestral hall.

Zhen Ying drooped her arm and was taken down by Condensation.

In the ancestral hall, only the Hu family, Zhen Zhiwen and the sisters were left.

Hu Shi settled down, stepped forward, and respectfully offered three incense sticks to the ancestral tablet.

Zhen Zhiwen half-squatted down, holding his daughter and preparing to get up, Hu Shi cleared his throat: "Boss, what are you doing here?" ”

"Do what?" A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Zhen Zhiwen's mouth: "The Li family wronged my son, she watched it inside and out, she was right, why did she kneel!" ”

"Miss An is still unconscious, is this called?" Hu Shi pointed to the sisters: "You are getting bolder now, who is the county order of Na'an?" It's our Emperor of Yunyang City! The daughter of his main concubine had a conflict with our daughter! Even if we didn't provoke it at the beginning, it's people who are hurting now! You go to the Yamen, the Yamen is a place of reason? ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand at Mother He: "Go, call the second child over, I think the eldest patriarch is a little unconscious." ”

Zhen Zhiwu in the second room, a son and a daughter under his knees. The son was a few years ago, and although he was only the lowest epiphysio, he was exempted from the labor of a family of three in the second room and the field tax of ten acres of land.

The situation of the Zhen family is a little more complicated.

Sifang Zhen Zhixiang became an official, so he was exempted from the forced labor of his clan and the tax of a hundred acres of land.

The third room Zhen forgets her worries as a female official, and she can be exempted from paying taxes on forced labor at home.

As a result, the Zhen family didn't get on it.

Because the good news at that time was to enter the house with the front and back feet, in order to fight for fame, the Hu family asked his daughter to hang the tax-free qualification at her in-law's house, and listed the female household separately.

"The female household is single, the poor who cover the people of heaven are also, and the king of the ancients is the first to take care of this."

For the sake of population, in fact, Middle-earth was initially encouraged to remarry. Whether divorced or widowed, second-married women, especially those who have given birth, are actually very popular in the marriage market.

Beginning with the founding emperor Jiang Huan, Zhongzhou encouraged the whole people to cultivate immortals. As for women's cultivation, if they don't kill the red dragon, their progress will be slower than that of boys, so the number of female monks is naturally less than that of men.

If there is a divorced woman or a widow who refuses to remarry, the female household may be listed separately.

Female households are rewarded every New Year's festival to encourage women to practice. The Hu family transferred the right to be exempt from tax exemption and forced labor to his in-laws, and these rewards naturally had to be swallowed by himself.

The three houses have four sources of income: land, shop, festival reward, and income. Although the first two did not let Hu get his hands dirty, the latter two were very affordable. Hu is also a good-faced person, and the happiest time of the year is when the festival is rewarded, Kuaishou-that is, the fast catch of the fast class, with safflower, Pegasus to report. At this time, Zhen Ying's life will be much better.

Zhen Wangwu understands his mother's character, not only gives benefits, but refuses to hand them all over, only fishes for the Hu family and asks her to take care of her daughter, but she has touched the human nature.

The only thing she didn't calculate was that the fourth brother would die in a foreign land, and the fourth brother's tax exemption from forced labor did not have time to be named in the household department.

This leads to the fact that there are men, and the second room with a meritorious name will come from behind.

The father and son have relied on their fame, and they have been raised with ambition over the years, and they are eyeing the position of the head of the family.

Zhen Zhiwu is waiting behind, although he loves his young daughter, but for the sake of his son's position as the head of the family, he is actually very forbearing.

The Hu family owes the second room in this matter, and will inevitably make up for it elsewhere in the future.

As said in the school that day, although the female official is beautiful, she is in the capital, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The Hu family has no plans to move to Baiyujing, the smaller the place, the heavier the local concept, the higher the importance of the son.

When the time comes, it will not be their second room that will prop up the lintel of a house?

As soon as Hu's words fell, Zhen Zhiwu was like a dog that smelled a fishy smell, and ran over.

"Oh, my mother is old and her body is not good, even if there are thousands of different things for her children and grandchildren, you have to calm down and teach again."

He looked at Hu's hand, there were three sisters, only two of them were kneeling, Zhen Lian was held by her father, and her body was still trembling slightly.

Zhen Man heard his father's voice, raised his head with a little hope, the father and daughter looked right, and Zhen Zhiwu immediately turned his head away.

Thinking of the injury on his daughter's leg, and then thinking about the Zhen family's business, Zhen Zhiwu took two deep breaths, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and patiently flattered the Hu family.

He also missed the loss in his daughter's eyes because of this.

"Big brother, filial piety comes first, we are cultivating and reading heirlooms, and we should pay more attention to these."

As he spoke, he turned behind the Hu family, with a slight effort in his hand, and knocked Hu on the back: "Although the front is the harem, the two do not interfere, and the An family and we are not officials in the same dynasty." But Rong'er was only sixteen years old when she won the show, which is the first in our Yun County. Even if the county order doesn't care about his sister, he has to take care of Xuezheng's face, right? ”

In his sentence, he was clearly promoting his son, but secretly suppressing his third sister.

There is already a female household in the family, if other girls also become female officials, his son will be the patriarch, who will show his majesty?

Thinking of his son, Zhen Zhiwu smiled even more: "Even if you really offend the An family, you don't care." The girl of the An family is blessed with a great life and will be safe and sound. The two sides are just a matter of children arguing, and when the time comes, the son will be the east, and put a table, maybe, our family and the An family can turn enemies into friends. ”

"But I heard that the girl from the An family is preparing to take an elective next year, and the show girl is not allowed to be injured. Bai Yujing is a noble girl, and she may not be able to choose. But if you hurt the root cause because of this incident, you can't even go to the election, Anxian Order, don't you count this on our heads? Hu Shi heard the meaning of his son's words, he wanted to make a big thing into a small thing.

But who is Ambihuai? In order to climb up, he did everything he could. Just hearsay, there is a girl in the Zhen family who gave birth to a Guanyin mole, with an excellent face and great luck, so she dared to carry the court decree and entrusted a matchmaker to let the only daughter of the Zhen family go to make him a child.

This time, even if An Ling'er is safe, the Zhen family will have to bite off a piece of meat for him.

"However, the second child's opinion is good. Although things started from our family, there is no way to turn hostility into friendship. The Hu family held the Buddha beads in his hand and made up his mind, this matter must be explained to the An family.

She looked at the father and daughter of the big house, and said her inner thoughts: "When the eldest sister was young, didn't she look for a master? She had a Guanyin mole, and she happened to be born in heaven, and her life was prosperous. Over the years, you have hidden it so that she does not show her reputation. But the girl from the An family and the girl from our family went to the same school. The An family should know that the eldest sister's appearance is rare and her luck is extremely prosperous. It can eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and turn evil into good fortune. ”
