protect our patriarch

Chapter 239 The Wang family is very happy!all parties

……

To the west of Changning Acropolis, on the edge of a delta at the confluence of Jinsha River and Anjiang River, it is called Ningxi Town.

The terrain of Ningxi Town is mostly flat, with large and small rivers criss-crossing in the area under its jurisdiction, the soil is fertile and rich in fish and rice. It is one of the important granaries of Changning Wei.

There have been two aristocratic families in this town for generations, one is the Ningxi Dang family and the other is the Ningxi Liang family.

The Ningxi Dang family is a dignified eight-rank family, occupying most of the high-quality land resources in Ningxi Town.The Liang family in Ningxi is a small ninth-rank family. They have been living cautiously for many years, that is, they have to deal with the "beast" of the Dang family for a long time, and they always want to grow and grow to get out of the predicament.

Eighteen or nineteen years ago.

The Liang family in Ningxi mistakenly participated in the action between the Wang family and the Liu family, and as a result, they were slashed severely by the Wang family, and a lot of the resources accumulated by their ancestors were consumed.

Arguably.

The Liang family in Ningxi, who suffered this trauma, is very likely to be devastated, gradually unable to withstand the overt or covert encroachment of the party family, and eventually disappear in the "long river of history".

But today's Liang family is not only not in decline, but the more they live, the more nourished they are.In just eighteen or nineteen years, a second patriarch of the Lingtai realm was cultivated, forming a pattern of two Lingtais, and there was a faint tendency to fight against the powerful Ningxi Dang clan.

The biggest project that caused such a miraculous situation was Liang Haofeng, the ancestor of the Liang family.Although he suffered a big loss at the hands of the Wang family back then, he also saw the strength of the Wang family and the momentum of future development.

While actively making compensation, relying on the previous relationship with Lu Mingsheng, he tried every means to win over the relationship with Wang to make up for the rift.Over time, she gradually gained some Wang's trust.

Among some core farms, they have been awarded the planting and production of Wang's No. [-] and other grains.While the Wang family sent people to supervise, they also offered a good price to buy these grains uniformly.

By helping the Wang family to "work", the "family income" of the Liang family in Ningxi has been rising steadily.With money, they also learned from the Wang family to expand their family property, mainly by purchasing expansion and fine land reclamation.

The so-called fine wasteland reclamation refers to the practice of investing some of the original wasteland land reclamation into land with huge costs, and transforming the topography and landforms to form fertile land.

For example, some rocky slopes, swampy depressions, etc., are usually not cost-effective to open up wasteland because of the huge investment.But as the income per mu increased, those that were not cost-effective gradually became cost-effective.

With the fine development in the territory under its jurisdiction, a small copper vein with deep burial was opened out like shit luck.In this way, the development of Liang's can be further improved.

this day.

Several carriages traveled east from Liang's main residence.

The last two carriages were loaded with some fresh spirit melons and spirit fruits produced in spirit fields, pickled spirit fish caught in Anjiang and Jinsha rivers, Baiyuling rice wine produced in their own farms and brewed by themselves, and hundreds of high-quality cloth , and thousands of catties of refined copper ingots.

Adding up all kinds of materials, the value may be tens of thousands of gold.

In the leading carriage sat two men, one old and one young, and a young girl who seemed to be fourteen or fifteen years old.

The old man looked pale, his old eyes were bright and introverted, and he sat motionless on the carriage as steady as Mount Tai.

The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a jade crown, a brocade robe, a mutton fat jade belt, and black sword boots. He held an exquisitely crafted sword in his hand. It's fierce python leather, inlaid with green jewels.

This young man's face is like a crown jade and his appearance is handsome, he is really a handsome and handsome son with extraordinary appearance.

And that girl with cardamom, her eyes are clean and clear, and her skin is so white and tender that it looks like water will come out from a pinch.She was blinking her big watery eyes, and asked curiously: "Ancestor, you are bored all the way, tell me the story of Wang's Longyan ancestor."

"Sister, you have heard the stories of the ancestor Longyan countless times, and your ears are almost callused." The handsome young man smiled and said, "In my opinion, the reason why the Tianren Wang family can develop so fast is all due to Relying on the achievements of the patriarch Wang Shouzhe, senior Shouzhe, senior Shouzhe is creative like a powerful and unconstrained style, and he is far-sighted and meticulous in planning. He is really a model for my younger generation to learn from."

"Brother, I know that you admire Senior Shouzhe, because Senior Shouzhe was also from a low-rank A-level qualification, and he also passed the initial examination for admission to the Zifu Academy. Last time someone praised you for having the style of Shouzhe back then. Keep it in my heart." The cardamom girl pouted and said, "In my opinion, the Tianren Wang family is in this situation because of the strange woman Longyan Patriarch."

The handsome young man didn't give in, and the two started arguing about their idols.

Seeing the dispute between the two juniors, the old man glanced majestically: "Hongxuan, Mu Qing, you don't want to argue anymore. The Tianren Wang family can start from a small ninth-rank low-level family and become famous in Longzuonan in one fell swoop." The Celestial Family of the Six Guards, Patriarch Longyan and Patriarch Shouzhe complement each other and are indispensable. Let's discuss the past of the two seniors in the small carriage."

"Once you're outside, especially in Ping'an Town, don't talk casually, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"Yes, ancestor Haofeng, we should be cautious in our words and deeds." The two juniors shut their mouths respectfully and obediently.After all, they are the legitimate sons and daughters of the Liang family, and they have received very strict education since childhood.

The three people in this group are the ancestor Haofeng of the Liang family, Liang Hongxuan, the eldest son of the current direct line, and Liang Muqing, the second daughter.This trip with enough supplies was prepared, of course, to rush to Ping'an Town to participate in the promotion feast of the Celestial King Longyan as scheduled.

This "Wang's Celestial Banquet" is a good time for the Wang's that Liang's fawning on.Bringing the eldest son along is to see and see.But it was Liang's careful thought to bring the second daughter with him, and wanted to see if there was a chance to further his "relationship" with Wang.

Liang's convoy went around to the south side of Changning Acropolis, and went east along Anjiang all the way to Changning Guandu.

Today's Changning Guandu has changed a lot compared to ten years ago. The original ferry has been demolished and rebuilt, and its area has expanded several times.The building materials used are durable cement mortar and a new type of building material called hollow brick.

Hollow bricks are large-scale bricks fired at one time. The construction speed is fast, and there are many cement components in them, so the structure is firm and the sound insulation effect is good.

This hollow brick and new frame structure construction method was first created by Tianren Wang. It is said that there are already many buildings with new structures in Ping'an Town.

However, it is relatively rare in the north of Anjiang.

"It is said that the Tianren Wang family couldn't stand the low efficiency of Changning Guandu in the past few years." Liang Haofeng got out of the carriage with the younger generation and visited the new ferry. It cost a lot of money to take down the Changning Ferry, and expanded it a lot. Tsk tsk, being able to take down the Guandu Ferry shows how powerful Patriarch Shouzhe is."

"These floors are made of cement and leveled." Liang Hongxuan also praised, "In this way, even if it is raining, it will not be muddy, and it will be very clean when you step on it."

While several members of the Liang family were talking.

Suddenly, a thick old man's voice sounded not far away: "Isn't this the ancestor of Liang's Haofeng? You came to participate in Wang's feast of heaven and man more than ten days in advance?"

Liang Haofeng looked back and saw that he was indeed an old acquaintance. He immediately cupped his hands with a laugh and said, "Isn't this the ancestor of Xing'an Sun Clan Yunfei? You are also going to participate in the feast of heaven and man in advance?"

He glanced at Sun Yunfei, and saw that he was leading several young clansmen, followed by several carriages. When he came to Changning Ferry at this time, he was naturally going to participate in the feast of heaven and man.

Xing'an Town is located in the middle of Shanyang and Donggang. Due to the low-lying terrain, there are many lakes and few fertile fields in the area under its jurisdiction, so the development is not very good.Even so, there are three ninth-rank families crowded in that poor place.

Sun Yunfei smiled heartily and said: "Thanks to the care of the Tianren Wang's in-laws and family alliance, we have vigorously promoted the reed planting technology in our Xing'an area, and made our Xing'an three poor families live a better life."

"Can you make money by planting reeds?" Liang Haofeng was slightly surprised, "Reed catkins can't keep you warm, and the roots are tasteless..."

"Ordinary varieties don't work, but the Donggang Chen family bought a high-yielding reed species from overseas. They have a well-developed root system and are more suitable for watery places. They grow very fast. Only a small amount of manpower and material resources are needed to make use of those watery places." While Sun Yunfei was excited, he said helplessly, "It's just that the water marshes and tidal flats that no one cares about before have become sweet pastries. Our poor families have accumulated more grievances over the years."

"This time I came earlier this time because I also wanted to discuss with Patriarch Shouzhe whether he could come forward to mediate..."

Liang Haofeng glanced at their carriage full of gifts, and the two beautiful girls among the young juniors, and sneered in his heart, why did you come to Shouzhe Patriarch to discuss with Patriarch Shouzhe in advance?You can use the name of the Wang family to suppress your two old rivals.

However, see through but not talk through.

One is that Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei have no grievances and no enmity, and the other is that Liang Haofeng came here earlier to curry favor with the Wang family, so that the younger generation can get closer to the younger generation of the Wang family.

Two old guys who have lived for more than a hundred years, while their hearts are clear, chat with each other like old friends who have not met for a long time.And the juniors on both sides also greet each other and are familiar with each other.

Everyone is from Changningwei's low-end family, so it's good to know each other more.

"Old friend Haofeng, I heard that little friend Hongxuan of your family has passed the initial entrance examination for the school?" Sun Yunfei looked at Liang Hongxuan enviously, "This son looks good, if he has the opportunity to enter the Zifu school If you don’t, you won’t be able to escape from the Lingtai Realm in the future. By then, your Ningxi Liang family will be an eighth-rank family of the Three Lingtai.”

"Haha, I just passed the initial test. It's up to me whether I can pass the final test when I go to the academy." Liang Haofeng said it humbly, but the pride and pride in his eyes couldn't be concealed.Of course, those who enter through the re-examination will basically be ordinary students in a school in the future.Mostly it was the kind of people who watched the school seniors and seniors fighting in the arena, and then applauded crazily below, with faces full of admiration.

But even so, for the ninth-rank family, such an opportunity is rare even in hundreds of years.And the probability of an eighth-rank family is much higher, let alone a seventh-rank family. If you want, one person from each generation can join in as an ordinary disciple.

At this time, Liang Hongxuan, because of his outstanding appearance and his status as having passed the initial examination in the academy, after communicating with each other, has faintly become the little leader among the young people, and there is a bit of arrogance in the lively conversation and laughter.

at this time.

The large ferry had arrived, and everyone boarded the boat one after another in an orderly manner, and the carriage also had a corresponding place for the carriage to stop.Now that the ferry has been expanded, the throughput on both sides has become larger. Within half an hour, there are ferries coming and going, and now it only carries half of the capacity.

Just after Liang Haofeng and the two small families got on the boat, suddenly, another huge convoy appeared outside the ferry.One of the middle-aged knights rode up to the ferry and shouted: "Wait a minute on the ferry, I am Gongsun Qiang, and our Shanyang Gongsun family is going to board."

The steward in charge of this large ferry was excited, and hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "I would like to follow the order of ancestor Qiang." These ferries are now managed by people from the Wang family.

And Shanyang Gongsun Qiang is not an ordinary person, even the head of Shouzhe's family has to call him uncle politely when he sees him.

The rest of the passengers naturally had no objections.Today's Shanyang Gongsun family is already an eighth-rank family, and it is the mother clan of Patriarch Shouzhe, with an extraordinary status.

A carriage drove into the ferry.

Because boarding requires separation of people and carriages, everyone in the Gongsun family got out of the carriage and boarded the boat on foot according to the rules.

"That's the old ancestor of the Gongsun family." Liang Haofeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "I haven't seen him for eighteen years. Has Gongsun's strength reached such an unfathomable level? I can't see through it at all. I'm afraid it's already It's the fifth or sixth floor of the Lingtai Realm."

"Old Ancestor Wu is only around a hundred years old now." Sun Yunfei also enviously said, "At such an age and cultivation level, coupled with Gongsun's wealth now, Old Ancestor Wu is expected to be in heaven."

The two were about to step forward to greet each other.

Suddenly, in a carriage, an old lady was helped down by two middle-aged women.Her hair was already grey, but she looked graceful and luxurious, like an old grandmother from a rich family surrounded by everyone.

She looked up at Changning Guandu and the surging Anjiang water, and burst into tears: "I remember the last time I went back to my mother's house, it was the day when Shouzhe got married. It has been eighteen or nineteen years. I never thought I would still be alive." Seeing Aunt Longyan's promotion to the Heaven-Human Realm, I'm afraid this will be the last time I will go back to my mother's house."

"Third grandma." Gongsun Yan, the current patriarch of the Gongsun clan, is already a mature man in his thirties. He personally helped the old lady to walk on the boat, and said with a smile, "You are only 82 years old this year, and you are still in good health. It’s tough. Didn’t Cousin Shouzhe get a few longevity pills from the academy last time, and even sent one to you personally.”

"You have a lot of things to do when you go back to your mother's house in the future. Nephew Zong'an will get married in a few years. Your boss has to come back in person, right? Besides, Cousin Shouzhe told you to wait for him to ascend to heaven."

As soon as Wang Shouzhe was mentioned, the old lady smiled happily: "Shouzhe's child is good, but he doesn't know how to save money. Brother Xiaohui, Brother Xiaozhi and I are both so old..."

Another woman who is a bit older but well-maintained also helped the old lady and said: "That's Shouzhe and filial piety. He said that you are the only one of the fifth generation of the Wang family. How much can he do?" Just put in as much effort as you can. That kid Shouzhe usually sends me all kinds of beauty products."

Seeing this, Liang Haofeng who was at the side knew who these two women were with just a little thought.

One is Wang Zhenrong from the fifth generation of Wang's Zhenzi generation, and the other is Wang Liuyu from the Liuzi generation.Although those who married back then were all from the direct line of the Gongsun clan, but as the Wang clan became stronger and stronger today, their status within the Gongsun clan has also increased.

After all, Liang Haofeng is now living with Wang's back, how can there be any reason not to study Wang's genealogy?He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Haofeng has met everyone from the Gongsun family."

What should be flattered, I still have to flatter, and make a good impression on Patriarch Shouzhe later.After all, Patriarch Shouzhe seems to be the kind of person who attaches great importance to the elders in the family.

While talking.

Suddenly!

A man on the river was flying across the river, and every time he landed, he would just touch the river and fly there like a great roc.In the turbulent river, his seemingly small body looked so majestic.

"That's Patriarch Xiao Han..." Gongsun Qiang said with sharp eyes.

"Why did you alarm Big Brother Xiaohan to pick him up?" Wang Zhenrong felt relieved and sighed at the same time.
