Chapter 24: Jealousy
Watching the three young people come out of it, wearing the same style of cloth clothes and shoes on their feet, they were cleaned up refreshingly and neatly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info look at a few of his own people, silk clothes, wearing felt hats, although the clothes are luxurious, but compared with a few young people, there is always a feeling of being a monkey and a crown. Clothes are not only about the material, but also about the workmanship. Although these proton clothes are all made of cotton cloth, the tailor from Luoyang City will not be bad if he sews it casually. What good tailor can there be in the Qiang tribe? No matter how good the material of the patriarchs' clothes is, the effect of wearing them on their bodies is far inferior.
Zhang Xiang'er looked at the patriarch of the Xia Ding clan beside her, and then looked at the blind brother of Jia Han beside her, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly. In the previous impression, when the proton arrived in Qinzhou, it was like a cow and sheep entering the circle, and he couldn't look at it from then on. In the past few months, I have only heard that a new border commander has come to Qinzhou and changed the policy of proton, but I didn't expect that in just two months, the change would be so big.
Wu Nai stepped forward and gave Zhang Xiang'er a deep salute: "I haven't seen you for many years, the child greets Daddy." ”
Zhang Xianger nodded again and again, but she didn't know how to answer for a while. He is a Fan official, although he inherited his father's official position as the envoy of the Inner Tibetan Treasury, but when he saw the Han official, he still only had the share of greetings, and he didn't even have a seat. These Han etiquette has never had a chance to learn, and Wu Nai came to greet him, but he didn't know what to say. Moreover, the Northwest has always called his father Lao Tzu, and Wu Nai called Daddy, Zhang Xianger felt like he was not calling himself.
From Shaanxi to Dangxiang in the northwest to Fanqiang near Qinzhou, his father is called Lao Tzu, and people with status are also called Lao Tzu. For example, Xia Zhu, the current Shaanxi Economic Strategy Envoy, was called "Longtu Laozi" by the party members because he was a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion before he became a border marshal, and even Yuan Hao was called the same in China. Xu Ping had just turned thirty, and he was the third secretary before he came, and he was also called the third division Laozi by some people. Xu Ping sometimes hears people talk about it, and he wants to laugh.
Jia Han stepped forward and saluted the blind Duo Xin: "Is my brother okay?" Daddy is good? How are all the people in the tribe? ”
The blind Duo was also in a hurry, and just said: "It's all good, it's all good, everything is fine in the clan!" ”
Genghua stepped forward to greet his father, and Zhang Xiang'er said: "It's rare for our three clans to get together today, I heard that the restaurant in Qinzhou City has produced a kind of strong liquor in recent days, which is very powerful, how about we go there to have a drink?" ”
Jia Han said: "Uncle Zhang, this is a little bad. We only had two hours to go out to meet our people, and although the officials did not say that they were not allowed to move around, it was always bad to leave the camp. Besides, alcohol is not allowed in the camp, and if we come back drunk, won't it make people gossip? ”
Zhang Xiang'er waved her hand: "What's the matter with drinking two glasses of wine?" I heard that the new marshal takes care of us very much, where is the accounting for these little things? I see that the people of the other tribes have gone out to drink, and we will go too! ”
The others clamored together, and Jia Han had no choice but to go out with a few people. However, before leaving, he specially went to ask the guards and said hello, and then left the camp with confidence.
The Nazhi Courtyard has been assigned by Xu Ping to the Sansi Shop, and the new restaurant selling spirits is located there. In the past few months, Sansi Shop has been stockpiling supplies, except for the newly opened restaurant selling spirits in the past two days, no other business has opened. Their business is too big, once it opens, it will have a big impact on the neighborhood, and the rest is okay, because Xu Ping set a low price for salt, it will seriously affect the salt pond business of several ethnic groups in the ancient area. Those tribes made their fortune on salt, and something might happen. Before understanding the surrounding situation and making a strategic plan, Xu Ping didn't want any accidents. From Qinzhou to the west to the south, there are a lot of salt ponds, and many of them are strong by occupying the salt ponds, once the salt price is suppressed, there will inevitably be a decline of the tribe, and at the same time there will be a new tribe rising. Between this rise and fall, it is easy to conflict, and Xu Ping does not want to get out of his control.
Before arriving at the restaurant, it was already full, mostly of the Qiang people who had entered the city nearby. The people of Tibet are good wine, and because of the geography and human feelings, they are especially good spirits. In the past, the water wine brewed was an important source of wealth for Qinzhou City, and now the spirits are introduced, and the surrounding Qiang tribes are even more eager to use it. In order to make room for these Tibetan people, Xu Ping specially ordered all the soldiers not to drink alcohol in the past few days, and all the garrisons in Qinzhou to abstain from drinking for a few days. Since Xu Ping's arrival, all military camps on Qinfeng Road have banned alcohol, and the national military camps are unique. At first, because the civil officials had less financial resources and the military generals had less things to help the fun, they opposed it and were forcibly suppressed by Xu Ping.
Director Zheng personally greeted in the store, and if there were not enough seats, he put the tables and chairs in the courtyard vacated by the Nazhi Courtyard, and those who came did not refuse. Xu Ping personally sent someone to instruct Fanluo to come to visit Proton in the past few days, and the restaurant was open for supply. At the same time, Wang Kai personally led people to watch outside the door, and as soon as there was a drunken trouble, he immediately went out to suppress it.
When she got to the courtyard and sat down, Zhang Xiang'er patted the table excitedly and said, "Shop, come to your strongest wine!" Also, if there are any good dishes and meat in the store, just come up, and we will count the money together! ”
Seeing Zhang Xiang'er's indecent movements, Jia Han whispered: "Uncle, this is Qinzhou City, and it can't compare to us." If you want wine or food, you can call the little guy to give orders, and it is a bit inappropriate to shout like this. ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and scolded: "Uncle is an elder, and he is an official north of the Wei River, what a noble identity!" How it's your turn to teach! ”
Where did he think of Wu Nai but said: "Brother, the official family has now given a name, called Jia Han." He was the most literate and diligent in our camp, and the officials in charge of him kept praising him. If nothing else, he is a person who will be given a surname and be rewarded by the court, and cannot be treated like ordinary people. What he said made sense, and it sounded good. ”
Without waiting for the blind Duo to talk about it, Genghua on the side also echoed it, saying that Jia Han was different, he was the most promising proton in Qinzhou, and his future was immeasurable. He said that Zhang Xiang'er is not good like this, then it is not good, just do it.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and the blind Duo didn't expect his younger brother to have such a status now. In particular, Jia Han will be given a surname and knighthood in the future, which makes the blind priest vigilant. If he was really given a surname and an official, when Jia Han returned to the clan, his status would be unusually comparable, and it was very likely that the position of the patriarch would fall into his hands. The patriarch has a surname, and the whole clan has a surname, as long as a few years pass, there is no difference from ordinary Han people, and it is very attractive to these Qiang people.
In the face of this situation, how can I compete with my younger brother? Thinking of this, the blind Duo couldn't help but feel a little unkind when he looked at Jia Han's gaze. It seems that the situation here in Qinzhou, I should pay more attention to it in the future, and don't really be turned upside down by this younger brother.
Zhang Xiang'er was just excited, Wu Nai was not his own son, and there was no question of going back to compete for the position of patriarch. He has a status in the Qinzhou government, and his own clan is also stained. The Zhang family became prosperous in the Qingtang and Qiang clans, because his father Zhang Xiaoge was sober-minded and broke the grammar established by Li Lizun of the clan and attached himself to the imperial court. After making military merits, he was awarded the history of assassination and was named the official of that area, which gave the Zhang family an absolute advantage over other tribes. If Wu Nai can also get the imperial court's gift, go back and annex a few more small tribes, and let him go to the Beili clan to spread the branches, the Zhang family will be even stronger.
