Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and people who are a little more sensitive will be shocked by the coming storm.

In the room, there were only Zhang Ranru and Zhang Chaoqing left.

Zhang Chaoqing said: "You would agree to let that kid participate in the affairs of the Zhang family, it seems that you should have seen the situation of the Zhang family clearly." ”

Zhang Chaoru: "Hey~ The Zhang family withered, those people fell into the ground, and the Lu family continued to be suppressed without spare strength for forty years, if my old bones don't hold on, the Zhang family will be scattered."

That kid is right, if the Zhang family is strong, if the lost face will be picked up by others to help us take it.

There's no point in holding on to that, thank you for today. ”

Zhang Lanqing's face was complicated, he didn't know what to say, he was from the Zhang family, if he said that he still had a sense of belonging in his heart, he would naturally be unable to speak.

If he doesn't have a sense of belonging, he can't let go of that emotion.

I could only say stiffly: "I'm just protecting that kid, and it has nothing to do with the Zhang family." ”

Zhang Ranru was not aggressive, but smiled faintly, and then sighed and said, "I don't know if the Zhang family can escape this disaster."

If the Zhang family really can't hide, I will have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Zhang Chaoqing was not so pessimistic, and said: "As long as you reuse that kid, I don't dare to say that the Zhang family has gone further and escaped the disaster, there is no problem at all." ”

Zhang Ranru was strange: "What kind of person is he, who can make you have so much confidence?" ”

Although Zhang Ranru has been running around all the year round, he has too many things in his own house, and he doesn't even pay attention to the domestic affairs of Yan Kingdom, so it is impossible for him to pay attention to the barbarian country.

And the third princess ascended to the throne of the crown prince, who can understand the intrigues behind it so clearly?

Long Yun's identity is ostensibly just the owner of a small villa.

At this time, Zhang Ranru did not know Long Yun's specific identity.

Out of the wooing of Zhang Chaoqing, he has no intention of probing the bottom.

Now I can't help but ask, and it's also that I was hit too hard tonight.

When we are in an unbalanced mood and want to find more things to increase our self-confidence to fill our inner hesitation, it is like when we are usually not confident, we will find a familiar person and ask: 'What do you think of me like this' and other comforting words.

Zhang Chaoqing knew Long Yun's wisdom.

Although I have lost a little memory of the past now, in that kind of bones, the way of behavior that is different from ordinary people all shows that Long Yun is still the same Long Yun.

He smiled incomprehensibly and said nothing.

……

Long Yun followed Zhang Xishui to an attic room.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a study, but it is actually a library pavilion.

There are several tables in the middle, and on either side are densely packed bookshelves.

In the middle of the bookshelf, all kinds of books are stacked neatly.

It seems that few people come here, and the dust on the table has reached the point where it is visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Xishui said: "This is the study room that my father often came to when he was alive, and I used to play here when I was a child.

Since my father died, I have rarely come here, and the rest of the Zhang family rarely visits here.

Due to the shortage of personnel, this place will only be cleaned once every six months, and there is some dust at the moment, which makes Brother Zhang smile. ”

Long Yun said: "Do you think about things? Understandably, please Ms. Zhang introduce me a little. ”

"On the left side of the study are basically some common classics and historical classics, and the annotated works of the ancestors, and there are also some unique books of all kinds.

On the right is a miscellaneous book and anecdote, all of which are the various experiences and speculations of the ancestors of the Zhang family.

If Brother Zhang wants to understand Yan Guo, he has to start with Yan Guoguo, and recommend this "Yan Guozhi" written by the ancestors of the Zhang family to start reading.

……”

With Zhang Xishui's introduction, Long Yun can see it.

The rise and fall of the Zhang family can be seen from the number of books in these collections.

Because they are all recorded by year, all the things that are seen and heard in each year are put together.

The first are the records of the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Later, he joined many clansmen who went out to see and hear.

Those who are engaged in business talk about some customs and experiences, and by the way, they record the prices of each trade route.

The official is to record some major events that happened in the court, as well as some of the exploits made in his life, and even the relationship between people.

It's more of some unspoken rules in some officialdom, and some things about rumors.

You know, a lot of things aren't really going to be recorded.

What's more important is that after some major events come to an end, the results are reversed, combined with some secret anecdotes to get the ins and outs of more events.

Starting from the writings of the ancestors of the Zhang family, it gradually increased.

At its peak, ten bookshelves were needed to store records in a year, and in terms of time, it was about forty years ago.

It was also the most glorious time for the Zhang family.

It was also more than forty years ago that the number of books on the shelves began to decrease visibly.

It can be said that it is a cliff-like decline.

The most striking thing is that since five years ago, there has not been a single book on the blank shelf.

Long Yun understood that it should be Zhang Xishui's rise to power, and after his father's death, the Zhang family seemed to have no ability to record externally.

These records are the heritage of a family.

It's a super big asset.

Zhang Xishui didn't seem to have any feelings about this, and just treated it as a general book.

What does the family heritage rely on?

Is it gold and silver jewelry?

No, it's these books.

The Zhang family has been so lonely that it is hard to imagine that it was once the first family.

Only the collection of books here testifies to everything in the past.

Long Yun opened the essay recorded by the ancestors of the Zhang family with interest.

That was when the Yan Kingdom had not yet been established.

At that time, the Great Wei was divided and wars were frequent.

As the patriarch of a small family, he also went with the flow, and eventually formed an alliance with several equal families while looking for a way out.

It just so happens that the only descendant of the Yan Kingdom, that is, the imperial concubine whose fief is in the Yan Land, is vigorously wooing the family.

These small families who formed alliances were also recruited, and the reward given was the collection and status of the family.

The head of the Zhang family decisively defected and received a good reward.

Many secrets that I had not seen before were collected, and I also had a general understanding of how some of the families worked and passed them on.

The head of the Zhang family was quite far-sighted and began to assemble his own armed forces, relying on the Yan State, first digesting some disabled veterans on the battlefield, and finally relying on channels to transport supplies to the Yan army.

According to the rules, according to the distance, some can be floated, and according to the convenient logistics conditions, the head of the Zhang family at the same time carried some private goods to sell by himself, making a lot of money.

Since then, the Zhang family has focused on cultivating the next generation, using the quota of the family to enter the officialdom as officials.

There are also quotas and rules for the children of the family to enter the officialdom.

Especially when the country was just founded, the speed of promotion was particularly fast.

Then everyone also began to marry each other and fight for interests.

After the Yan Kingdom, there was a major event, that is, those generals of the Liang Kingdom at that time wanted to defect to the Yan Kingdom.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that the old family is too greedy, and it is not enough to control the bottom, intending to make that group of generals give up their military power, and they do not promise to give them any guarantees.

As the head of the Zhang family, who was an emerging family, thought that no matter what he should accept, the result was much more than he expected.

Those generals directly established their own countries.

Since then, Yan's strategy has shifted from the outside to the inside.

Many old families were targeted by the Liang State, and at the same time, the then emperor Li Hongju intentionally or unintentionally targeted the old families and supported the new family to fight.

In the end, the old families declined, and new families such as the Xiao family, the Zhang family, the Deng family, and the Wen family began to rise.
