Chapter 272, be vigilant and go with the flow
Yan Chengfeng's expression was a little dignified.
"Don't hide it from the two virtuous brothers, the ancestor of my Yan family is also a scholarly family, and there have been many Jinshi Juzi, and there is an ancestor who was a second-class member in the previous dynasty.
It was when the family was thriving, but for some reason he was involved in the seizure of the heir and suffered a catastrophe, and was almost beheaded by the whole family.
Later, after intercession, only the old and weak women and children and men under the age of five were exiled to the arid and barren land of the Western Regions.
When they were escorted all the way to the northwest, there were only a dozen women with better physical strength and four men under the age of five who were left with only a dozen people of nearly 100 people, and they almost broke the inheritance of incense.
finally survived, and was strictly ordered that the five generations should not be pardoned, not allowed to take the imperial examination, not to be an official, and not to enter the customs.
After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we got rid of this shackle, settled down in the Ganning generation, and lived a normal life.
The ancestor left his last words before his death, the children of the Yan family are only allowed to study and are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and if they want to enter the army, they can only serve in the army and cannot be a civilian official.
In fact, the years have passed, the emperor of the previous dynasty has become ashes, and the family rules set by the ancestors have actually lost much binding.
In addition to the head of the family and the future head of the family, if he is really outstanding in his studies and willing to work hard, the family will find a way to adapt him to participate in the imperial examination.
It's just that I have a loose nature, and although I like to study, I don't like to be constrained by officialdom, so I don't want to participate in scientific examinations.
And because he learned martial arts, he wanted to join the army with martial arts and break through with his real skills.
My grandfather was reluctant to let me suffer, and was even more worried that I would be in danger, so he resolutely refused to allow me to join the army, and let me inherit the family business and live in peace for the rest of my life.
My mother only gave birth to me and my sister, and before she died, she also told me not to risk my life, but to take care of my sister and be stable in the future.
I had no choice but to put my mind away and help my grandfather take care of the business with peace of mind.
In fact, I envy you very much for those of you who can study and participate in the imperial examination wholeheartedly, and I am also very willing to be friends with you.
In the noodle restaurant that day, I saw that the two of you had outstanding temperaments, and when I asked, one was a student of the Imperial Capital Academy and the other was a student of the official school, and I immediately felt envious and interacting.
In order to show my sincerity, I made a special visit today. ”
Xiaojun and Cheng Jinlu couldn't shirk it anymore, and immediately said that they would definitely visit them another day.
Xiao Jun and Qingling glanced at each other, and felt more and more that Yan Chengfeng's scheming and outstanding ability were far beyond comparison.
With his identity, not to mention the business in the capital, even the business of the entire Yan family may not be touched.
What he can see is probably only the position of the grandson and military power of the Northwest Palace, the so-called coming to the capital to take care of business, who knows what he is doing.
He said that his grandfather did not allow him to join the army, could it be that he was not allowed to be contaminated with the power in the army?
Most of the family experience he said is right, the Yan family does not have a civil official in the court, all the clansmen are in the Northwest Army, and the Yan branch never participates in the imperial examination.
The internal situation of the family is also roughly matched, and it is secretly rumored that in the Northwest Palace, the Northwest King Yan Liuhua and the eldest grandson Yan Chengfeng are one faction, and the second son of the son Yan Hongyun and his stepwife is one faction.
I just don't know why Yan Chengfeng didn't have a grandson? Could it be that Yan Hongyun has more right to speak?
Qingling thought of the bastard grandson he had seen in that small restaurant last year, and heard that his name was Yan Xingfeng, and couldn't help but wonder, even if this grandson had the support of his own father, could he fight this eldest brother who beat him everywhere?
Qingling pretended to be curious and asked, "What kind of business does the Yan family do in the capital?" ”
Yan Chengfeng laughed: "Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, and the eating habits are mainly pasta, and there are many people in the northwest of Chang'an.
My grandfather seized the business opportunity and opened a northwest flavor restaurant in Chang'an more than ten years ago, and now it has developed to five, one in the east, west, one in the north, the south, and one in the middle, the name is very simple, it is called Xianju Restaurant,
And the shops on both sides of each restaurant are also my family, one specializes in Northwest specialties, and the other is an inn, which is called Xianju Specialty Shop and Xianju Inn.
We also run a dart bureau, which was originally just a guard team to escort our own goods, and after a long time, people often offered silver to carry the goods, so they simply opened a dart bureau, and the name was Ping'an Dart Bureau.
It sounds like a lot, but it's not a big business, and it can't be compared with the grain store of Baolou Qianzhuang and the tea, salt and iron shop, just to support the family, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.
It is the food of Xianju Restaurant that is worth tasting, it is very northwest characteristics, and we must try it when you come to the door next time.
This time I came out of nowhere, and it was the first time we met, and there were no generous gifts, but there were some special products, you can take a look.
Brother Chun, go get it. ”
Brother Chun? Light Ling looked at the dark-skinned and strong young guard, and wanted to laugh a little.
After Brother Chun brought the things, she couldn't put them down.
It's actually a box of preserved fruits, a box of preserved meat, and a box of cottage cheese, which looks like modern dried milk tablets.
The gift is not expensive, but it takes a lot of thought, it looks very delicious and attractive, and it has a very good appetite for her as a foodie.
There is also a box full of spices, although it is more expensive, it does not burn hands, and it seems to be full of sincerity.
Qingling and Xiaojun glanced at each other, this Yan Chengfeng, doing a small thing is so thoughtful, it is indeed extremely not simple.
If he hadn't known his identity, maybe he would have been introduced as a confidant from now on.
I just don't know what is the purpose of him being so attentive and painstaking to two powerless young students?
The guests and hosts of this meal were happy, and those who were close to him couldn't push it if they wanted to, so Xiaojun decided to talk to him first, be vigilant, and go with the flow.
After Yan Chengfeng said goodbye and left, Xiaojun and Qingling discussed it and decided to tell Cheng Jinlu the truth.
First, Cheng Jinlu is very cautious and reliable, and it will not be bad to know the truth
。 Second, I was worried that Yan Chengfeng really had any purpose, and Cheng Jinlu might be fooled if he didn't know his true identity.
It was late at night, Xiaojun personally sent Qingling home, and went directly to Cheng Jinlu when he came back.
Cheng Jinlu saw that his expression was a little serious, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong Xiaojun?" What happened on the way? ”
Xiaojun shook his head: "It's okay, I have something important to tell you."
Brother Yan Rufeng, who came in the afternoon, hid his identity from us, he was not a businessman, and his identity was very noble. ”
Xiao Jun dipped the tea and wrote the words "Yan Chengfeng" on the table:
His real name is Yan Chengfeng, Yan Rufeng is a pseudonym, and his actual identity is the eldest grandson of Yan Liuhua, the king of the Northwest, and the eldest son of Yan Hongyun.
The current grandson's name is Yan Xingfeng, born to Yan Chengfeng's stepmother, and he is only the second son.
It is said that the position of the grandson will not fall on his head, but his mother is the county lord of the Chai family, I don't know if it has anything to do with this, and he was actually named the grandson. ”
Cheng Jinlu was taken aback: "Brother Yan is the eldest grandson of the King of the Northwest?" This? What is the purpose of his coming to us? (End of chapter)
