0052 Funeral of the Warrior

Nothing was said all night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The next day, starting in the morning, the door of the Shen Mansion was opened and the banquet began.

There is no strict time regulation for this kind of banquet to celebrate the promotion and knighthood, and guests can come at any time and enter the banquet at any time. The food and drink provided are also similar to those of the later generations, and the guests can specify the food and drink at will, so as to meet the taste needs of all guests, which can be called a success, and it is also a reflection of financial resources.

As for the entertainment of the banquet, the most important thing is to enjoy the performances of the kabuki, and there are also hosts or guests who come to play music and dance. Being proficient in a musical instrument is also an important skill for taste, and the level of musical literacy is also one of the important manifestations of a person's cultural quality.

In this era, there were many scholars who personally trained kabuki. Shen Zhezi's father, Shen Chong, is one of the leaders, known as Wu Yin's leader, and the Shen family's Qianxi industry has even developed into an extremely prosperous cultural industry.

A skilled servant has a price of tens of thousands or even millions of dollars, which shows that Wu Dishi people are sought after him. At the same time, the price of a middle-aged slave was only about more than 10,000 yuan and a few grains, and even those who possessed craftsmanship were far less valued than those who entertained people with color art.

In addition to the prostitutes, there are also pot throwing and pu plays, all of which are fun games that can arouse the atmosphere. Of course, this is a slightly vulgar entertainment, and the more elegant is to talk about chess, or talk about debates, and even gossip about current affairs, taste the people, chant poems, and gather people to disperse.

Since the banquet was named after Shen Zhezi, Shen Zhezi was naturally responsible for receiving guests. Although he is not very old, he has a lot of weight. Ji Zhan is the superstar of Wu Di nowadays, and as a closed disciple of his scriptures, Shen Zhezi naturally has an extraordinary bearing in the eyes of others.

In the exchange of greetings with others, Shen Zhezi also knew that he was no longer an unknown person nowadays, and already had two titles that were praised for a while: Wu Zhongqiongbao who was personally praised by Ji Zhan, and Shen Lang, a Dexiang who was spread when he was bombarded with Gu Bizui.

This kind of nickname is much more beneficial to Shen Zhezi than the title of the Marquis of Guannei. The longer he is immersed in this world, the more Shen Zhezi feels the role of fame. Perhaps fame cannot be directly cashed into material income, but having fame means that you have a certain right to speak. The higher the fame, the greater the influence of words and deeds on the people of the time.

Personal fame can control the right to speak in public opinion, and the family inheritance of the classics and righteousness is equivalent to the right to interpret the classical scriptures, which are all powerful weapons for ideological struggle. Although Shen Zhezi can't use it at the moment, he wants to reform the current disadvantages and correct the world style in the future, which are all important bargaining chips that can come in handy.

Based on this cognition, although Shen Zhezi does not deliberately pursue fame, he does not shy away from it and avoids it like a snake and scorpion. There is no difference between good and bad in the essence of the so-called position, only the question of whether it can be used appropriately.

When receiving guests, Shen Zhezi also summed up the characteristics of the families with which the Shen family of Wuxing interacted with, most of them were families in the same county, or families with similar circumstances and status, and it was rare to see those who were truly prosperous and generous. This is not to look at people with a snobbish eye, but through this social circle, we can more clearly understand the status of the Shen family at the moment.

What surprised Shen Zhezi was that there were also people from the Yixing Zhou family who attended the banquet. After hearing the clansman introduce his identity, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be startled, he was really afraid that the other party would pull out his sword and poke him. However, looking at the other party's calm and ordinary demeanor, there is no anger of deep hatred for each other.

As a result, Shen Zhezi has a deeper understanding of the current state of entanglement and union of various families. Daddy Shen Chong raided the Yixing Zhou family's home, but only Zhou Za was killed by the whole family, and the other branches were not moved.

Therefore, today's Yixing Zhou clan and Wuxing Shen clan do not have a strong grudge that cannot be dissolved, at most the relationship between each other is cold, and it is only limited to the Shen clan's Dongzong. Some of the Fang branches of the Yixing Zhou clan have a very good relationship with the Western Sect of the Shen Clan, and there is no shortage of in-laws, and the connection between them is even much closer to each other than the contact between the Eastern and Western Sects within the Shen Clan.

The family is densely knit and complicated. Later generations of Shen Zhezi understood this period of history, but did not understand the behavior of many characters. Now that I am in the present, I have gradually accepted it. On the one hand, there are distant relatives of the same clan who are estranged, and on the other hand, there are close sons-in-law and in-laws of their own families, who will you choose?

The complexity of these interpersonal relationships can be expressed through Shen Zhezi's own interactions.

In the afternoon, the Yu brothers Yu Yi and Yu Tiao arrived together, and Shen Zhezi personally received them and talked for a long time. The brothers of the Yu family, Yu Liang forced Shen Zhezi to enter Taiwan to meet the emperor, although there was no danger, but the intention of killing himself was obvious, Shen Zhezi would never give up with him!

But Yu Yi and his father Shen Chong still have room and room for mutual support in their careers, and Yu Tiao is the number one salesman that Shen Zhezi focuses on cultivating. Shen Zhezi's evil perception of Yu Liang did not affect his interactions with the two brothers. In the future, the Yu family will prosper, and these two people are also the main way for the Shen family to take advantage of their momentum.

Compared with the old history of the Shen family's own sect, Shen Zhezi's personal network style seems to be higher, and most of them are from Ji Zhan. The Gu Lu family of Wu County in Jiangdong Gaomen, the Danyang Ji family and the Zhang family, although they may not be the main façade clansmen, they are enough to show their attention to Shen Zhezi.

There are also a group of overseas Chinese children recruited by Yu Tiao, who are the backbone of the business to promote Yinjue Yin in the future. Although I feel a little weird to have a relationship with a young man with a drooping hair, because of Yu Tiao's admiration for Shen Zhezi, he doesn't dare to show his usual contempt for the southerners.

When these guests arrived, they did not want to be at the same table as the original guests. And with them present, the original guests also became uncomfortable. The Shen family simply set up another table and arranged the reception separately.

The scholars are not of the same stream, and the people of different families have no contact with each other, which is really implemented and reflected in all aspects. Today's situation, if you go back to the top, can even be said to have germinated in the late Western Han Dynasty, growing throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now, it is deeply rooted and cannot be reversed overnight.

Shen Zhezi thought that he did not have the heroic momentum of Hou Jing, the great general of the universe, and raised the butcher's knife to kill the so-called Wang Xie Gaomen cleanly. In such a world, if you want to succeed, you will inevitably be reluctant.

The banquet lasted for more than two days before it finally came to an end. This is because of the joy of another family marrying relatives, the guests moved their positions, and Shen Zhezi ended up clean.

For those members of the scholar clan who have official status, even if Shen Zhezi is dissatisfied, it is not easy to reprimand them. In this era, the official Xiu Mu generally followed the Han system, but the implementation was not rigorous. Especially in the rotation system, it is common for people with high families and prosperous families to stay in the government office every day, and even not to go to work on ten days.

For example, the monk of Langya Wang in the Southern Dynasty in later generations, he likes to hunt, and he is not in the official office for most of the year, and the office is just a pastime after hunting. However, when he lost his position, he stood at the head of the Jiankang City Bridge and watched people fighting ducks in the river after taking sick leave, and was impeached by the participants.

What's more, an official of the Southern Dynasty was so indulged in the pleasure of mountains and rivers that he repeatedly moved his official position and did not see him, and in the end he didn't even know where his official office was. The records of wild history may not be credible, but nowadays officials do not do anything, and the atmosphere can be seen.

After the congratulatory banquet, Shen Zhezi returned to Ji Mansion, and when Ji Zhan was still in good spirits, he told him the details of the imperial response.

Ji Zhan could hear the emperor's overtures and wooing of the Shen family in his words, which was a good phenomenon for Wu Shi, so he was in a somewhat happy mood, and told Shen Zhezi: "Loyalty and righteousness are the foundation of life." Keep it in mind and be self-disciplined. ”

Shen Zhezi promised, but he couldn't bear to hit Ji Zhan. The emperor's intention to win over Nanshi to balance the overseas Chinese is obvious, but unfortunately his life is not long, and he also issued an edict on his deathbed to ask the imperial court to appoint the wise people among the Nanshi, but how can it be implemented. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was always a political pattern that emphasized overseas Chinese and ignored Nanshi.

Maybe it's because of the return to the light, in the next few days, Ji Zhan's spirit has improved a lot, and he can barely entertain guests. A dry old relatives have come to visit, which can be regarded as a farewell. Whenever he was entertaining guests, Ji Zhan asked Shen Zhezi to stand on his side.

Shen Zhezi understands that the old man is using the last bit of brilliance in his life to support himself and transfer the connections, prestige and political heritage accumulated throughout his life into his own hands. As for how much Shen Zhezi can inherit in the end, it depends on his own efforts.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Zhan, who had passed the old age, finally ran out of oil and died at home.

The Ji family was full of grief, especially Ji You, a young man who was not even a weak crown but had no relatives, and he cried bitterly and almost fainted. Shen Zhezi was also very sad in his heart, this old man had been sick for many years, and he was not at peace in the last days of his life, escorting the Shen family and surviving the difficulties, which can be described as a great grace.

Especially for Shen Zhezi personally, this old man with the name of a national soldier shared the most precious accumulation of his life with himself, and this appreciation and favor was really heavy for him to repay.

After the old Wu, across the two Jin Dynasty, the rebellion of the eight kings and Hu, and the sorrow of the southern crossing of the clothes, the life trajectory of this old man can be described as ups and downs. Perhaps limited by the limitations of the times, I did not see the context of historical progress beyond the perspective of the pattern, but I have no regrets about self-denial and self-discipline all my life, and I have lived up to the name of "scholar".

As a disciple of Ji Zhan, Shen Zhezi served the gift of Qi decay, second only to the beheading of his loved ones, which was also Ji Zhan's deathbed confession. Although he is not a blood relative, he has a great grace in preaching.

The flame will not be extinguished, and it will be passed down from generation to generation.
