Chapter 24: Success
Zhang Han saluted and got up, Zhang Yin frowned and said, "Which little brother are you, and you trespassed here as well?" Whether you look like you or not, how can I recognize you like this without circumstantial evidence? If it weren't for my eldest brother's bloodline, where would my Puzhou Zhang family's face go? You better go back, bring your mother and old family back, and of course my eldest brother's old things, and that's pretty much it. β
In front of the room full of guests with status, Zhang Ran's attitude was still calm, but his tone was tough and not slow at all.
Why did Zhang Han come, Zhang Yin knew in his heart that as long as he drove this kid back, Xinpingbao would be finished, if this Zhang Han came to vote, he might as well divide a few rooms, give dozens of stones of miscellaneous grain a year, and have a good reputation, of course, he must hold this kid and not allow him to rise in the clan.
At this time, Zhang Han actually smiled slightly, and said loudly: "So, the second master is not sure if I am a descendant of my grandfather?" β
"Hmm."
Zhang Yuan squinted, looked at the courtyard dissatisfied, and was ready to change a batch of disciples and nurses, these people are really useless.
"I have a way to make the second master believe that I am a descendant of Fengpangong."
Zhang Han walked forward slowly, and the guests around him looked at him blankly.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, at the end of the year at this time came to return to the sect, of course, many people also know that it is a matter of asking for help, and they do not leave after being rejected, so high-spirited, talking eloquently in the hall, not timid at all, although there are no officials here, but many of them used to be officials, more or less have the identity of lifting people or showing talents, the family has quite a lot of land, and poetry and books are cultivated and read heirlooms, only in this way can the identity be qualified to sit in the big hall of the Zhang family, but everyone present looked at Zhang Han with different eyes, but in any case, they all felt that Zhang Han was bold enough.
Zhang Ran instinctively felt a little threatened, Zhang Han is not very old, he is no longer small, plus he has practiced martial arts since he was a child to strengthen his body, although he is not a serious martial artist, he has also been able to kill people, and there is a faint bit of blood on his body, Zhang Ran still has some knowledge, frowned, and pointed to the thin fingers of his hands: "You stop, if you have something to say, you can say it there." β
"Okay, please ask the second master to ask someone to bring a basin of water."
Zhang Han nodded first, and then suddenly pulled out a sharpened dagger from his sleeve.
Zhang Yan looked frightened and said, "What are you going to do?" β
The surrounding guests were also in an uproar, and many people immediately wanted to run out.
Liang Xing and Yang Qiu both opened their mouths wide, and those nursing homes were also frozen, and both sides forgot to fight for a while.
"The second master said that he couldn't figure out my identity," Zhang Han smiled freely, the dagger was already against his neck, the dagger was sharp, and the tip immediately pierced the skin as soon as it hit the neck, and a wisp of blood flowed down from Zhang Han's neck. Zhang Han didn't look nervous, but still said with a smile: "Ask someone to bring a basin, I want to confess my relatives with the second master." β
"Huh?" All the people in the hall, including Zhang Ran, let out an exclamation.
"Is that okay?" Liang Xing's mouth is open, it seems that he can stuff a duck egg, he never expected that Zhang Han, the young proprietor, would be ruthless and scoundrel, and he would be much more powerful than him, a professional tiger?
"Nonsense, nonsense what?"
In front of so many guests, Zhang Yin couldn't tell where to swing his face.
Who knew that among the descendants of Feng Pangong, there was such a lazy character?
There are many rumors among the people about blood recognition, but a little knowledgeable scholar will not believe it, blood recognition is just a gimmick, who really believes who is stupid.
Of course, Zhang Han didn't want to hurt Zhang Ran, nor did he really want to recognize his relatives with blood, he just pinched Zhang Ran, the dagger was against his neck, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, everyone knew that he was really the descendant of Feng Pangong, you don't believe it, come to confess with blood, you really don't even give this face, the young man shook his hand, and simply committed suicide on your big main hall, okay, where do you put your Puzhou Zhang's family, Zhang Siwei, and your Zhang Yuan's face? Isn't the family style of the Zhang family in Puzhou lost its luster over the past 200 years? No matter how hard you don't eat, do you dare to go underground and explain to your ancestors why this matter has come to such a break?
Looking at Zhang Han against the dagger, Zhang Yan suddenly sighed.
β¦β¦
Zhang Yin turned around and entered the back hall at that time, which can be said to be brushing his sleeves away, and after a while, he asked Zhang Xuezeng to go in.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xuezeng ran over with a happy face, and pulled Zhang Han when he got closer: "Brother Han'er has collected the dagger, the ancestral hall over there is open, let's go to the ancestral hall to talk." β
Zhang Han looked up at Zhang Xuezeng, and the other party squeezed his eyebrows and said: "The second master said that he was not happy, and he still didn't need to drop blood to confess his relatives, so he asked you to incense Feng Pangong and your great-grandfather, and then he had a letter for you to carry." β
Zhang Han has been pulled up by this person while speaking, the two of them confessed their sins to the guests around them, and walked out of the lobby together, behind them was the sound of boiling water, everyone couldn't imagine that they came to participate in the Zhang family's banquet today, and they could still see such a big excitement, this trip is really worth it, and it is enough to blow with the children of the family for ten days and half a month after going home.
"That's it?" Liang Xing and Yang Qiu glanced at each other, and Yang Qiu said suddenly: "Liang Xing, after we go back, let's continue to serve with this young proprietor, I think he is successful, let's follow him, I am afraid that there will be a good end in the future." β
Although Liang Xing didn't speak, he nodded violently.
Coming out of the main hall, Zhang Xuezeng pulled Zhang Han, and the two of them slipped into the ancestral hall, and there were still a lot of people watching the excitement along the way, pointing at Zhang Han.
After this incident, I'm afraid there are few people here in Puzhou who don't know Zhang Han...... It's okay in this way, Zhang Han now knows that it is a naΓ―ve idea to stay away from politics in the Ming Dynasty, without the support of the gentry and powerful people, the businessman said that if he breaks the house, he will break the family, which is much more ruthless than in later generations.
Under the guidance of Zhang Xuezeng, after Zhang Han incensed several tablets according to the rules, Zhang Xuezeng smiled at him and said: "You are in a hurry there, take the book and go back early, and when you come next time, I am afraid that you will have to set up a banquet for a few days, so that you can be regarded as recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors." β
This person is really warm-hearted, Zhang Han showed gratitude on his face, and said, "Thank you to the third uncle this time." β
Zhang Xuezeng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't thank me, it's useless for me to speak for you, this time only when you want to run in vain, who would have thought that you would have such a hand, the second master has been strong all his life, and this time he suffered a lot of losses." β
Speaking of this, he handed a letter in his hand to Zhang Han and said with a smile: "Your business is on this letter." β
Zhang Han stretched out his hand to take it, the letter in his hand was very thin, he took it out and looked at it, just a few lines, he was a little suspicious in his heart, can he make himself bankrupt, such a letter can solve it?
"Don't worry, it works." Zhang Xuezeng saw Zhang Han's suspicions, and said with a smile: "You are not a person in Shilin, if you also study and take the exam, and you are selected to raise people, you will know the trick, you take this book, go straight to Yanghe, even if your family's affairs are solved, just rest assured." β
Zhang Han took a deep look, got up and said: "Third uncle, in the future, the nephew's business may be in the inland states and counties, and the profits are not small. β
Zhang Xuezeng didn't expect that Zhang Han not only settled his own problems, but also handed over Zhang Yin's silver, but also the following.
However, although this nephew spoke directly, a little naked, and it was very disrespectful to say these words in the ancestral hall, but Puzhou knew that Xinping's family background was not small, Zhang Yun could be regarded as a businessman, and he wanted to stay with a good family background, this nephew is so knowledgeable and interesting, and he drew inferences from one another, knowing that collusion between officials and businessmen to do business is the right way, if it can really be as Zhang Han said, it can really try.
It's just that Zhang Han is too young after all, Zhang Xuezeng still said: "It's too early to say this, let's talk about it when we really do it." β
Zhang Han also knows that it is too difficult to win the trust of people now, one is that he is young, and the other is that he is not clear about many things, this time he can force Zhang Yin to rely on his original identity, if he is not the direct Miao descendant of Feng Pangong, it is useless to really stab himself to death, there are many businessmen who are forced to go bankrupt and hang themselves, why don't you see a few people to speak for them.
After Zhang Xuezeng said goodbye and left, Zhang Han and others discussed it and decided not to live in Puzhou, but to go out of the city directly, and then fight after walking dozens of miles.
Of course, this is very hard, but Zhang Han can stand up to it, and others have nothing to say.
When he went out of the city, Zhang Han immediately took out the letter to take a look, and of course there was no problem with his childish background, these letters were of course no problem, the above were Zhang Yuan's common words of greetings, and the last two sentences were to ask Tuoyang and the deputy envoy of the province to take care of his nephew Zhang Han, and the details were not mentioned at all.
"Are the big guys talking like this in these years?" Zhang Han smiled bitterly on the horse, he put the letter in his arms and hid it, after all, this was the only hope.
"The grass people knock on the horses."
"Virtuous deed, please get up, don't call yourself so."
Zhang Han and others rushed back on the road again, this time it was not as urgent as the last time, Zhang Han also had the heart to see the situation in the prefectures and counties along the way, especially after arriving at Datong Town and Yanghe, he went in to fight when he encountered the city, and took a look at the local business situation.
After arriving at the Yanghe Acropolis where Yanghe Dao was stationed, Zhang Han went to the Yamen to post a post to ask for a meeting, of course, with the post he sent the letter given by Zhang Zhen into it, otherwise he would definitely not see the deputy envoy of Yanghe Dao in front of him.
Yanghe Dao is the fourth grade, the deputy envoy is from the fourth grade, the supervisor is to reorganize the military equipment, whether it is the garrison battalion or the guard post are directly managed by the military preparation road, including the appointment and dismissal of the military attache promotion, the guard of the grain and the horse administration, where there is salt and iron, also manage the salt and iron, the power is very large, the general official wants to serve as the governor, the military preparation road is almost the only way.
The deputy envoy in front of him is surnamed Zheng, wearing a square-winged black veil, wearing a big red official robe, and the supplementary uniform on his chest is Yun Yan, the whole person is not tall, he is the kind of short and thin figure, his face is also dark, there are a few long beards on his chin, his eyes are not big, but his essence is exposed, and the whole person gives people the feeling that he is a senior leader who is shrewd to the extreme.
I worked very hard to find today's screen avoidance words...... Well.
