………
The eldest of the Zhang family has a name named Zhang Bing, but because he is fat and often steals chickens and dogs at home, he is very despised by the villagers, and is nicknamed "Pig Head Bing".
It's just that no one dares to call the old man of the Zhang family "Pig Head Bing" anymore. Even the villagers with this nickname back then gathered next to the Zhang family with a smile on their faces, lest the old man of the Zhang family who had made a fortune would settle the old accounts with him. The look of anxiety on his face, those who know it are amused when they see it.
It's really not to bully the young and poor, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.
The villagers of Lishu Village all knew that the old man of the Zhang family had been eunuched to the capital to seek food, but no one would have thought that Pig's Head Bing would be so human-looking, and he would really get ahead in the palace!
Many of the old children of the Zhang family watched the former "pig's head bing" being complimented by the people in the county and the village elders like that, and they all felt really bad in their hearts.
In this taste, there is more of a red eye.
Wei Liangchen stayed there for half an hour before he accepted the scene he saw in front of him, and deeply understood why the villagers, including his eldest brother Liangqing, were so envious of the Zhang family.
The reason is very simple, Hejian Mansion is very close to Jingshi, but it is very poor compared to other places. In order to live, the people showed their powers, and the so-called living people could not be suffocated by urine. As long as there is food to eat, and there is no danger of killing the head, no matter what you do, the people are extremely enthusiastic.
All roads lead to food and clothing, and reach wealth.
Among several avenues, eunuchs entering the palace as eunuchs are one of the ways for the people of Hejian Mansion to survive.
cut himself off and then entered the palace as a eunuch, which required a lot of ruthlessness and perseverance.
Ordinary people can't be ruthless, because this thing is not easy, one knife down, that is, the queen is over, the upper is sorry for the ancestors and the ancestors, and the lower is looked down upon.
Regardless of past and present lives, is a man who can't do that still a man? Can you stand up to it in front of a woman?
No matter how heroic you are during the day, when you take off your clothes at night, it will be frosted eggplants - wilting.
It's just that as long as you can be ruthless and can really be elected to the palace, then you will have no worries about food and clothing. If the ancestral tomb smokes and finds a job in the palace, he will live a happier life than those who are officials.
I didn't see that the old man of the Zhang family was just a chicken stealer and a dog when he was at home, but he had everything in his life, and he had returned to his hometown in just seven or eight years!
Without the knife back then, can the pig's head come back so majestically? Can the people in the county be so stammered? Can you make the soldiers of the guard station? Can you return home?!
No!
Calculated carefully, in the past twenty or thirty years in Lishu Village alone, there have been six or seven people who have been castrated to Beijing to make a living, but unfortunately, among these people, the old man of the Zhang family has survived. A few others, obscure.
I heard that the old man of the Zhang family is now working as a supervisor in the palace treasure banknote department, which is a high-grade job, and it is said that it is the same as the county honor, and it is all seven grades. However, it sounds like the grade is the same, but the eldest of the Zhang family is an errand boy in the palace, and the people around the emperor are different in nature. How is it different, it's not just about being in the county.
In the past two days since the Zhang family returned to their hometown, not only did people from the county come to visit one after another, but also people from the house. For a time, the small pear tree village was full of traffic, so it was not lively.
Of course, the liveliness of the Zhang family has nothing to do with the Wei family, since watching the liveliness before the fight, the third master of the Wei family has never gone to the Zhang family.
Compared with other people's good things, their own two acres and eight points of land are a big deal.
People's hearts are so strange, knowing that their land has been requisitioned by the imperial court, but Wei Jinde just doesn't give up, and still runs to the fields every day. Li Zheng's family also went three times a day, thinking that King Fu might not be able to look down on the land of Lishu Village, so he turned around and said to him that he didn't want to. In this way, everyone is happy.
Liangqing also had his father's thoughts, and ran to Lizheng's house a few times, but he was so annoyed that Lizheng had a headache when he saw his grandfather and son. Liangchen didn't go, because he is now very conscious and understands the reason why the people don't fight with the officials.
On the other hand, Liangchen was still worried about the imperial examination, and he didn't have the heart to accompany his father and eldest brother to wander around outside.
On this day, Liangchen was lying on the bed pondering about the house test, when the footsteps of his father and eldest brother came from outside the courtyard.
Liangchen hurriedly sat up on the bed, and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw his father and eldest brother sitting on the threshold and sulking.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Liangchen is a little strange, why is he so angry.
"I just heard that the Zhang family's land doesn't need to be expropriated." Wei Jinde didn't say anything, and Liangqing replied.
"Why don't you have to expropriate the land of the Zhang family? Aren't you with my family? ”
Liangchen was a little confused, he didn't understand what it meant, if it weren't for the fact that his father and eldest brother didn't look right, Bacheng would still think that the court would not expropriate land.
Liangqing said the matter in a muffled voice, it turned out that the two of them bumped into the Zhang family working in the fields in the village before, so they felt strange, this land is called the imperial court, what are you doing in the field? As a result, I found out that the land of Renzhang's family did not need to be expropriated.
"Why don't you ask for his family? If his family doesn't levy it, my family won't levy it! ”
Liangchen was very unconvinced, the Zhang family had six acres of land in the east of the village, if his family did not expropriate, why should the government expropriate their own land. Benefiting the widow is uneven. This one doesn't levy that one, what's it?
"Don't talk nonsense, can my family compare with the Zhang family? The eldest of the Zhang family is the husband in the palace. "Liangqing is angry, but he is not muddy, he doesn't dare to do things against the government.
As soon as he heard this, Liangchen was even more unconvinced, and muttered: "Can you not be conscripted as a husband in the palace?" ”
"Silly boy, there are people in the court who are easy to do, don't you know? The old man of the Zhang family is out now, can the county not give him face? Liangqing shook his head.
Liangchen pursed his lips and didn't say anything, because he couldn't say it. In the Ming generation, both the inner court and the outer court are equally important, and the old man of the Zhang family really wants to say hello to Suning County, how can he give face in this place. There are only a few acres of land left and right, and King Fu is afraid that he will not care about such a trivial matter.
None of the brothers spoke, and they both felt very aggrieved. At this time, his father Wei Jinde muttered there: "Actually, there are also people in our family in the palace." ”
"Huh? What do you say, Dad? Liangqing was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Liangchen heard it clearly, and subconsciously asked, "Who?" ”
Wei Jinde glanced at his two sons, and slowly stood up from the threshold, with a hesitant look, obviously not wanting to say.
Liangqing reacted, and said a little excitedly: "Dad, you said, who is in the palace in our family?" ”
Liangchen also looked at his father.
Wei Jinde was obviously reluctant to mention this matter to his two sons, but he mentioned it himself, and his two sons were looking at him, and they were all older, so they had to tell them about it sooner or later.
So, after hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "It's your second uncle." In fact, he didn't die, and now he is a husband in the palace, and he has changed his name to Li Jinzhong. ”
"The second uncle changed his name and became a husband in the palace?" Liangqing only felt incredible, all along, he thought that the second uncle died outside.
Liangchen was also surprised, and was about to ask for an explanation, when he suddenly "clicked", and immediately felt that his heart was beating hard.
"Daddy... You said... You mean... Our second uncle now... Now it's called Li Jinzhong? ”
When Liangchen said this, his teeth were trembling, and his eyes were bulging.
