Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

This time when returning to Youyang, only Sheng Changbai went back by himself in the second house of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong was going to work at Shangshutai, and the rest of the Sheng family were old and weak, women and children, and they didn't look like they were suitable for going out.

On the surface, the Sheng family seems to have a lot of children, but in fact, there is only a middle-aged man, Sheng Hong, in the second room.

The Erfang family has no one, and they have the willingness to return to their hometown on their own initiative.

Except for the old lady Sheng, she is familiar with the second room and the third room, has some old feelings, and is willing to go back to Youyang.

The rest of the family, from Wang Ruofu to Sheng Xiaoqi, no one is willing to You Yang.

After all, it is only a county town, no matter how prosperous it is, compared with the world's first city, Bianliang, it has become a rural place.

The old lady still has to educate Minglan at home, there is nothing to do and no need, she is quite old and suffers from traveling thousands of miles.

Sheng Hong arranged for two, who were familiar with You Yang's situation, and often went out to take care of things at home, to accompany Sheng Changbai.

The others are all from Sheng Changbai's courtyard, and the youngsters raised by Sheng Changbai.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yu Yang belonged to Jiangnan East Road, Jiangning Mansion, which is not too far away from Kaifeng, only more than 1000 miles away.

If you are in a hurry, it will take three or four days to ride a horse.

Of course, Sheng Changbai brought a whole load of goods. If he brought the goods, it would be faster to go by sea.

Sailing during the day and resting on the shore at night, when he arrived at the county seat, Sheng Changbai also got off the boat and went to the city. He walked around and took a leisurely walk. After ten days, he arrived in Jiangning.

When they arrived at Jiangning Wharf, Dafang had already arranged people to wait for Sheng Changbai to come over at the wharf.

In this day and age, if someone can be picked up, it must be Dafang who has been sending people to wait at the pier recently.

Sheng Changbai wanted to come back, of course he sent a message to Youyang before departure.

It is much faster for the official post station to deliver the letter by land than by Sheng Changbai by boat.

After waiting for the goods to be unloaded from the ship, Uncle Sheng Wei had already rushed to the pier with his people.

An elder coming to pick up Sheng Changbai is enough to prove the importance he attaches to Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Wei is also a fine person, with the same emotional intelligence as Sheng Hong, they are full of existence.

He has a good sense of the world, and he is very measured in life.

Sheng Changbai is already an official, not because of his status as an elder, he is here with Sheng Changbai.

Getting along makes Sheng Changbai very comfortable.

In Youyang Sheng's family, Sheng Changbai only knew Sheng Wei well, so it would be a little strange to ask two cousins ​​he didn't know to pick him up.

Sheng Wei is different. The reason why Sheng Changbai has seen him many times is that he can truly regard Sheng Wei as a relative.

Every one or two years, Sheng Wei always came to the second room to send some money and silk to Sheng Hong to manage the officialdom.

"Brother Bai, I finally hoped for you to come. Brother Bai is really the unicorn of our Sheng family. He was admitted as a young man, was named on the gold list, and was a high school candidate in one fell swoop. He is really the pillar of the prosperity of the Sheng family."

"Where, the Sheng family is in the situation it is today. If it's not with the nephew, it can't be separated from the uncle and father to lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Sheng family. It can't be separated. The brothers in the family work together to contribute to the prosperity of the family."

After a few polite words, Sheng Changbai got into the carriage arranged by Sheng Wei.

There is still a long distance between Jiangning and Youyang.

After sitting in the carriage for an hour, they arrived at the ancestral residence of the Sheng family outside Youyang City.

The ancestral house of the Sheng family is not in the county seat, but built in a Zhuangzi not far from the county seat.

Before the old man made his fortune, the Sheng family was just a small family, without any ancestral home or ancestral hall.

It was only after the old man made his fortune that he returned to Youyang's hometown, built the ancestral house and ancestral hall, and united the entire clan.

You Yang's ancestral house, when the old man separated the family for his third son.

It was distributed to the eldest son, and the head of the Sheng family was also inherited by the eldest son.

The second family and the same line, because of the imperial examination to become an official, inherited the mansion bought by the Sheng family in Tokyo.

The three families are in the same line, and the old man did not treat them badly, and bought a property for the three houses in Youyang County.

Generally speaking, when the grandpa of the Sheng family distributed the property to his three sons, it was relatively fair.

The property distributed to the three sons at that time was about the same in value.

Looking at the value of the property now, the second room took advantage of it, but it was because the second room's house, farm, and shop were all located in Bianliang, the capital of the country.

After all, the capital city has a prosperous economy and a large population, and real estate, farms, and shops appreciate the fastest.

It's no wonder that the old man is eccentric, except for the second bedroom, there is a second-bedroom master who has passed the exam and can keep his property in Tokyo.

The big house and the third house without fame are unable to keep the large assets of Bianliang City.

Because the value of the three houses was about the same at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Of course, it is not an expense to build it on the outskirts of Youyang city and the inner city of Bianliang.

Therefore, the ancestral house of the Sheng family was more carefully repaired.

The compound with five entrances, carved beams and painted buildings, landscape corridors, pavilions, bridges and waterside pavilions are well arranged.

In addition to the geographical location, Dafang's ancestral house can be said to be a complete success in every aspect.

"Grandson Sheng Changbai has met his great grandmother, and his nephew has met his uncle."

After arriving at the ancestral house, the first thing Sheng Changbai did was to visit his elders.

Meet Dafang's old lady and Sheng Wei's daughter-in-law Sheng Lishi.

The old lady of the first room looked much older than the old lady of the second room Sheng.

The old lady's life is not easy, and she is also a victim of pampering concubines and destroying wives.

At the beginning, the eldest master and the second wife Tanhua Lang fell in love with the concubine at the same time, doting on the concubine and destroying his wife.

The old lady Erfangsheng chose to be tough with Tanhualang, and the husband and wife turned against each other.

But the old lady Erfang Sheng is the prostitute of the Hou family, no matter how much Tan Hualang dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, he will not dare to divorce his wife.

The big old lady is not as big as the second-bedroom old lady Hou's family background, so she is not so tough.

In order to avoid the persecution of the concubine's room, she had to choose to live in the countryside with her two children.

Under the protection of the old lady of the second room, the old man who was blinded by the concubine's room was not divorced.

After the master of Dafang ruined his family business and left, the hard life of the old lady of Dafang will be over.

He returned to the Sheng family, disposed of the concubine's room, and raised Sheng Wei to grow up.

That is to say, Sheng Hong passed the Jinshi examination and Sheng Wei really started the business, so the old lady really lived a good life for a few years.

Uncle Sheng Wei's eldest wife, Mrs. Li, looked much better.

The second and third generations of the Sheng family, Sheng Wei, the only good man who doesn't take concubines, made Mrs. Li chatter.

In the past 20 years, the husband and wife have lived in harmony, love each other deeply, and lived happily.

Then Dafang hosted a banquet to greet Sheng Changbai. After the meal, Changbai chatted with Dafang's family for a long time.

Sheng Changbai talked a lot about Bianjing's situation, and Dafang also talked a lot about Youyang's situation.

After Dafang's warm hospitality, Sheng Changbai and Dafang became acquainted a lot.

"Changsong, Changwu, Pinlan, take Changbai around the ancestral house, you don't have to stay with us old people all the time."

Chang Song is the eldest son of Dafang, Changwu is the second son of Dafang, and Pinlan is the second daughter of Dafang.

Sheng Wei's eldest child is Shulan, the eldest daughter, who has already married.

Sheng Wei asked three people to accompany Sheng Changbai to visit the ancestral house.

Of course, I wanted to let the cousins ​​get acquainted with each other. Although Chang Song will take over as the patriarch of the Sheng family in the future, the leader of the fourth generation will undoubtedly be Sheng Changbai.

"This is the courtyard where my second uncle lived in Youyang. My father has kept it and repaired it from time to time. Changbai, you are at home these days, so you should live in this courtyard."

Because of the good relationship between the first room and the second room of the Sheng family for many years, the first room on the side of the ancestral house has always reserved a few yards for the second room to live in.

"Uncle and Brother Changsong are bothering you." Sheng Changbai said politely.

Although the contact time was not long, Sheng Changbai also felt that Sheng Changsong and Uncle Sheng Wei were the same kind of people.

No matter how he behaves or how he handles affairs, Changsong has received the true biography of Sheng Wei.

Sheng Changbai's own brothers, the useless and the young, can't be counted on.

If you want to do something in business, it is obvious that Sheng Changsong is the right person.

"This is what we should do. No matter what, Second Uncle has helped our family a lot."

"Big Brother, Brother Changbai, they are all brothers of our own family, you two should not be polite here, just be polite. Brother Changbai, why don't you continue talking about Bianliang, what's going on in Fanlou, Daddy What is it like inside Xiangguo Temple, I have never been to Bianliang?"

A loli rang, it was Sheng Pinlan, Pinlan was about eight or nine years old, with a very cheerful and outgoing personality.

At first glance, she looks like a spoiled and raised daughter at home, but this personality is similar to Rulan's.

It's just that I haven't been too disciplined by my family, and my personality is very similar to a modern child.

"Okay, they are all from my own family, so I won't be so polite to you. Bianliang is too big, delicious, beautiful, and so much fun. I can't finish talking for a while. Pinlan wants to go to Bianliang If you want to play, you can go to our house to live for a while. I have three younger sisters in my family, and you will definitely be able to play with me."

It's not easy to meet a child with such a character, Sheng Changbai has a pretty good impression of Pinlan.

Because there is no concubine relationship in the family, Pinlan doesn't have to compete with the concubine for favor and fight all day like Rulan.

It's just that she is innocent and innocent, and if she doesn't cause trouble, she looks much more pleasing to Bi Lan.

If Pinlan lives in the second room, at least Minglan must like Pinlan very much.

"I also want to go to Bianliang, but my father and mother are unwilling to let me go out."

"As long as you are more obedient, I believe uncle and aunt are willing to take you out."

Ordinarily, with Sheng Changbai's initiative to invite Pinlan to live in the second room for a period of time, it's not particularly difficult.

The first room must be willing to see the children and be close to the second room.

If you don't want to let Pinlan go, it's probably because Pinlan has a lively personality.

Not as well-behaved as the other ladies, the eldest room was worried about causing trouble to the second room.

"Brother Changbai, I heard that elder sister Hualan's husband works in the city defense army, right?"

After getting acquainted and less restrained, Sheng Changwu also asked Sheng Changbai.

"Brother-in-law Yuan served as a commander in the Tokyo City Defense Force. Are you also interested in military affairs, Changwu?"

If Sheng Changbai remembered correctly, Sheng Changwu seemed to be going the way of generals.

"I study and study, and I don't have brother Changbai. You are so talented, you can't get in at all. Inheriting the family business and running a business, you are not as experienced and stable as my elder brother. I only like to dance with guns and sticks. I can only think about taking an exam in the future." Martial arts, find a way out." Changwu said.

"Changbai, Erlang and I don't have any talent in school, and my father hopes that the family can change his family. We can only hope that Erlang can achieve something in martial arts." Changsong continued.

Changwu was not as old as Sheng Changbai, and a little younger than Sheng Changbai.

What he said can be regarded as a child's talk. Chang Song is a few years older than Sheng Changbai, and has already started to take over some family businesses. He is considered an adult, and I emphasize it again.

It is definitely not just talking, but the meaning of emphasizing it again is obviously hoping to get some help from the second wife in the matter of Changwu Martial Arts.

It is not surprising that Da Fang has the idea of ​​changing the gate.

No matter how rich they were, the status of merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not high.

Merchants and merchants with insight are trying to change their families.

"It just so happens that I've put in a lot of hard work in martial arts over the years. If it's convenient for Changwu, the two of us can join hands and try."

Entering the army is still very dangerous, especially at the bottom of the army.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the Great Zhou Dynasty occupied the most fertile land of the Central Plains.

Every foreign race covets and covets the fertile land of Great Zhou.

If you enter the army to develop, you really need to go to the battlefield and fight for your life.

A low-level officer, if his own force is not enough, the probability of death is still very high.

If his own force is not enough, Sheng Changwu might as well just hang around at home.

Dafang's family has a lot of money, and it's not that he can't afford to support Sheng Changwu.

Let Sheng Changwu stay at home, make more children, and increase more seedlings for the next generation.

Efforts to cultivate the next generation is also a way to change the family.

"Brother Changbai, isn't this bad? Are you Tanhualang?" Changwu hesitated, obviously afraid of hurting Sheng Changbai.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm not a weak scholar. My ambition since I was young was to be a generation of capable ministers who can govern the army when mounted and manage the people when dismounted. If you, Changwu, can really hurt me, I will take the martial arts exam. Don't really worry about it."

If Sheng Changwu could really outnumber Sheng Changbai, then Sheng Changbai could really train Sheng Changwu and let Changwu take back Yanyun Sixteen States.

"Changwu, I think Changbai has really practiced martial arts. When you join hands, you just need to be more careful." Changsong said.

Changwu obviously listened to Changsong very much, and Changsong did a much better job than Sheng Changbai in this regard.

Sheng Changbai couldn't control his younger brother, and he couldn't control Sheng Changfeng.

"Then let's have a fight first."

"Brother Changbai, how about we have a competition of weapons?"

"Brother Changbai, I wonder how your archery skills are?"

"Brother Changbai, can you ride and shoot?"

"Brother Changbai, you say I am like this, is it possible to pass the martial arts exam?"

It's better to be in the suburbs, the place is bigger, if you like, you can practice riding and shooting at any time.

The contest between Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng this time was different from the contest with Yuan Wenshao two years ago.

At that time, Sheng Changbai did not practice riding and shooting for a long time, and Yuan Wenshao was an adult of more than 20 years, compared with Sheng Changbai, a 13-year-old child.

It seems to be evenly matched.

Now Sheng Changbai has practiced for another two years, and compared with Sheng Changwu who is a few months younger than him, it is a comprehensive crush.

After a round of comparison, the child's self-confidence was completely wiped out. (end of this chapter)
