Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Chapter 36 Chapter Family

The cultural background of Zhangjiazhuang Village is quite profound, and its history has to be talked about before Qin Gaozu founded the country.At that time, Zhang He's great-grandfather, Zhang Yin, went out from Zhangjiazhuang Village to conquer the world with Qin Gaozu. Five hundred households.

Although the title is false and cannot be hereditary, it is a very honorable thing for the Zhang family, and the Zhang family has thus become one of the largest families in Fuzhou.

Many members of the Zhang family who were abroad also moved back to Zhangjiazhuang Village in order to get close.After several generations of development, Zhangjiazhuang Village has now become a large village with hundreds of households living together, and the farmland within its scope has also extended to many places in neighboring villages.

Although Zhang Yin's title could not be passed on to his descendants after his death, according to his last official position, his son could make up for the high position of the fifth-rank official position.In the generation of Zhang He's grandfather, he secretly took the seventh-rank official position, but he still squeezed into the fifth-rank rank before his death, and gave the Yinbu qualification to Zhang He's uncle Zhang Tingxuan.

Under the protection of the ancestors, although the Zhang family has produced many prodigal sons, they are still considered to be of the upper class in general. In Zhangjiazhuang Village, you can see large mansions everywhere, with horse-drawn carriages and servants accompanying them in and out.In comparison, Zhang He's ox cart looked a bit shabby.

There are horses in Zhang He's ranch system, but she will be questioned by the government if she doesn't know the origin, which will cause trouble, so she would rather be lucky and keep using the ox cart than release the horses.

Zhang He found a house with a pavilion in front of it, but what Zhang Xian said was somewhat different, there were at least three houses whose doors faced the pavilion.The surroundings of the pavilion are empty, and the ground is also paved with bluestone bricks. It looks like a square at first glance, so it's hard to guess which of these three houses is Zhang Tingguan's.

"This is... He'er?!" A majestic voice sounded beside Zhang He, and Zhang He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a middle-aged man with a goatee looking at her.

Even though they haven't seen each other for more than a year, Zhang He vaguely remembers that this is her third uncle, Zhang Tingguan!

Zhang He saluted: "My nephew has seen the third uncle, and the third uncle is well."

"Yes." Zhang Tingguan nodded with a smile, and looked at Zhang He seriously with a pair of eyes.

Having not seen each other for more than a year, Zhang He seems to be a little darker, and his temper seems to be more stable.But this is better, compared to the delicate appearance before, he finally looks like a man.

"Why are you the only one who came back, where is Xian'er?" Zhang Tingguan asked.

"He's going to school, so it's inconvenient to come back with me."

"He has already entered school, why doesn't he go home to the school?" Zhang Tingguan asked again.

"He has a stubborn nature. I was worried that if I didn't look at him, he would get into trouble, so let him study in the village school for two years, and then send him back to study after his temper has stabilized."

Zhang Tingguan stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Don't stand still, come in and sit down!"

Zhang He followed Zhang Tingguan into the door. Zhang Tingguan ordered the servants at home to pull her ox cart and tie it up. He invited Zhang He to sit in the front hall, and then ordered the maid to serve tea.

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, Zhang Tingguan thought that Zhang He came to look for him because he returned to Zhang's house but couldn't enter the house, so he took the initiative to tell Zhang He about the situation of Zhang's house.

Since the separation of the family, Zhang Yan and his wife and children moved to the mansion in Fuzhou City, and the Liu family naturally followed, and the field affairs were handed over to Neizhi to take care of.

Zhang He smiled and said, "Uncle misunderstood, my nephew didn't come here today to return to the Zhang family, but came here specifically to find uncle."

Zhang Tingguan was surprised and said, "He came here specifically to find me? What's the matter?"

Zhang He brewed for a while, his eyes suddenly turned red.Zhang Tingguan was taken aback and asked her what was wrong.

"Uncle, don't worry, nephew just thinks of Daddy."

Zhang Tingguan was stunned and at the same time felt her filial piety. He knew that Zhang Yan was making things difficult for Zhang He and Zhang Xian, but he couldn't do anything to help.Moreover, after Zhang He arrived in Qinghe Village, he never sent anyone to see how she and Zhang Xian were doing. Thinking about it this time, he felt ashamed, so he said: "I am your uncle, and I am your relative. You have suffered What grievance, do you want my help?"

Zhang He said: "Actually, if my father is alive, I don't need to bother my uncle about this matter, but since my father has passed away, there are not many people who can make decisions for me."

Zhang Tingguan wondered what things Zhang Tingyu could solve while he was alive?With a flash of inspiration, he asked: "He'er is the young lady of which family has fallen in love with, do you want to ask the elders to help you propose a marriage?"

He also made it clear why Zhang He didn't go to Liu Shi, she was worried that Liu Shi or Zhang Yan would make things difficult for her.

"How did Uncle, Uncle know?" Zhang He asked pretending to be surprised.

Zhang Tingguan stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "I know Mu Shaoai, you are at the beginning of love, you are also at this age, what is thinking in your heart, uncle can guess one or two."

"Uncle is wise."

Zhang Tingguan said with a smile: "Which family is the young lady, what is her background, what is she like, please tell me in detail."

"She is from Liujiaqiao Village, her surname is Xia..."

Zhang Tingguan listened carefully, and after Zhang He finished speaking, he frowned and said, "He'er, although our Zhang family is not what it used to be, it won't make you fall into the position of marrying a third-class daughter, right? Let's talk about Zhangjiazhuang here. , there are many good ladies!"

"When my father was alive, he often said that marrying a wife should be a virtuous one. It doesn't matter what her background is, what matters is that she is virtuous enough. Although the daughter of the Xia family is not of high birth, her ancestors were also high-ranking officials, able to read and write, and understand right and wrong. , sensible, if you can marry her, it will be a blessing for your nephew."

"Are you really pleased with her?"

"Yes, my nephew will not marry unless she is the only one." Zhang He's words were so loud that Zhang Tingguan was startled. He thought Zhang He's resolute look did not look like a joke.

After a long time, he sighed: "Forget it, I'll talk to the second sister-in-law for you."

"My nephew is here to thank my uncle first."

"It's not too late, let's go to the city!" Zhang Tingguan also acted vigorously, and immediately arranged a carriage.Zhang He's ox cart was just a cart, it couldn't shelter from the wind and rain, and it wasn't fast enough for a horse cart, so naturally Zhang Tingguan wouldn't let her go.

Zhang Tingguan's carriage is not big, and it is too crowded for six people, which is out of style, so it is usually just right for four people.He had a coachman, so he didn't need to drive the car himself. He sat face to face with Zhang He and chatted a lot.Knowing that Zhang He can now manage the hundred acres of land in an orderly manner, he also feels relieved.

Zhangjiazhuang Village is only a dozen miles away from Fuzhou City, and it only takes half an hour to get there at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.Seeing the benefits of the carriage, Zhang He wished he could let his horse out immediately, but his rationality still restrained this urge.

The carriage stopped in front of the Zhang family's mansion, and the porter rushed over when he saw it. The coachman said, "Please let me know that Mr. Zhang Sangong from Zhangjiazhuang Village is visiting and your Lord Erlang is back."

The concierge obviously knew that "Zhang Sangong" was the elder of Zhang Yan's father's generation, and he also had an impression of "Erlang Jun", so he went in quickly to pass on the information.

Zhang He lifted the curtain and watched the front of Zhang's house for a while.Although the entrance of the Zhang family is built according to the shape, it can be seen that the Zhang family is rich and powerful. The door is wide and the sill is high. The courtyard wall is nearly one foot high. Even if there is a ladder, it may not be possible to climb over smoothly. It will hurt your muscles and bones.

At this time, a limping middle-aged man came by the wall. He was dressed in ragged clothes, but his face was a bit sinister.He glanced at the carriage, then ran to knock on the door.

The concierge came out quickly, and when he saw the man, he yelled: "My husband is not here, what are you doing here?!"

"Heh, there is a visitor from your residence, so I don't believe that he won't come back!" the man said with a gruff smile.

"You haven't learned enough lessons, have you?!" The porter's eyes were very fierce, and he called out two servants, each holding a stick in his hand.

Seeing this, the man's expression changed drastically, he pointed at the porter and cursed angrily: "You wait for me, I don't believe he can still hide from me for the rest of his life!" Then he turned and left unwillingly.

After he left, the concierge hurried to the carriage and said: "Mr. Lang is not at home, Madam, please come in quickly, Sangong and Mr. Erlang."

Zhang Tingguan felt in his heart that Zhang He also needed to pass the news when he went home, but Zhang He didn't feel this way at home, instead he seemed to be a guest. Naturally, such a rule would not make her feel uncomfortable.

The two entered Zhang's mansion, and Zhang He looked it over, and found that this mansion was bigger than the ancestral house in Zhangjiazhuang.And its layout has the charm of the Tang Dynasty, but it is more restrained than the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.There are some flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, which are taken care of by special people.

Although you can see the reception hall when you enter the gate, you don't walk directly on the cobbled stone road, but you need to go around the veranda.

Zhang He asked, "Who was that just now?" She thought, although the family was separated, she was still a member of the Zhang family anyway, and it would not be too polite to ask.

"That's a rascal in the market. He often wanders around in this area, and he often visits the door to ask for money. You don't need to pay any attention to him," said the concierge.

Although Zhang He felt a little strange, it had nothing to do with her, so she stopped asking.The concierge sent them to the front hall and went back to guard the door, while the maid served some tea sensibly.

After a while, a servant's humble greeting sounded outside the door: "Ma'am."

Zhang Tingguan and Zhang He put down their teacups and got up, when they saw a woman with a plantain bun on her head and a light blue short skirt and long skirt walking in.Neither of them looked directly at her, Zhang Tingguan said: "My brother has seen the second sister-in-law."

"I have met my mother, good luck to my mother." Zhang He also said quite politely.

Zhang He didn't understand these etiquettes at first, but he made a lot of jokes and was reprimanded in the first month of his arrival, so he reluctantly picked up these etiquettes again under the guidance of the servants.

"They're all from my own family, so there's no need for so much courtesy." Mrs. Liu said, her voice had the majesty of the matriarch of the family, but it also had the warmth of a loving mother.

In Zhang He's memory, Liu Shi did not make things difficult for her and Zhang Xian because they were born of concubines, but she rarely saw Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu walked up to Zhang He and stopped for a while, then walked to the main seat and sat down, Zhang Tingguan and Zhang He followed suit.Only then did Zhang He look up at Liu Shi. Compared to the last time they met in Zhangjiazhuang, Liu Shi now had light makeup on his face, embroidered eyebrows, and lip balm, giving him a brighter look.

Liu's eyes turned to Zhang He, causing Zhang He to look away quickly.

"Brother donkey, why haven't you come back to take a look this year?"

Zhang He thought to himself, if he didn't come back, he didn't want to hinder the eyes of their mother and son, so why is it his own fault?

"When I first arrived in Qinghe Village, I was busy getting settled. I just recently gained a foothold in Qinghe Village. Please forgive me for not being filial to visit my mother this year."

Mrs. Liu stared at her for a while, then sighed: "Forget it, why didn't you see Brother Lu?"

Zhang He still spoke to Zhang Tingguan, Liu Shi also suggested to let him go back to school in order to obtain a better learning environment.But Zhang Xian was reluctant to part with Zhang He, and naturally he didn't want to come back so soon, so she forgave her.

The small talk was reminiscing about the old days, and it was also to pave the way for serious business. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting strong, Zhang Tingguan said: "Second sister-in-law is telling the truth, we have something to do here today."

Seeing that they finally got to the point, Mrs. Liu followed his words and smiled slightly: "Sir, please tell me."

"This He'er is already married, I think it's time to talk about a marriage for him."

After Zhang Tingguan said this, Liu's pupils shrank slightly, and immediately stared at Zhang He with an unhappy expression.

The author has something to say: Is it~~Everything has to be done step by step, and it's time for the people from the Zhang family to come out and go through the motions.
