Kaiyuan Merry

Wang Fei was flipping through Wang Wei's family letter in Lihuayuan when a maid suddenly came here in a panic and said, "Young lady, something is wrong, that elder of the Cui family has come to trouble the mistress again. He also brought a person with a lot of background at first glance."

Wang Fei put down the family letter, a trace of anxiety flashed in her long and charming eyes, but she still said coldly: "Why panic, this cheeky Cui Po has not come to the door once or twice, but he just came to disgust us It’s just the Wang family. His nephew was taught a lesson by my elder brother in Chang’an last time. He didn’t dare to look for his elder brother, but he came here, which shows that he is afraid of his elder brother. !"

The maid was still a little flustered and said: "But Alang is still gaining fame in Chang'an, and he hasn't returned home yet, and the young lady hasn't told Alang about it, besides, it's so difficult to be a Jinshi, Alang, he..."

Wang Fei's eyes suddenly became terrifying, her phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and an awe-inspiring domineering aura suddenly rose, and she angrily said: "What do you know, brother, he will definitely be a Jinshi, you have to tell me about such a trivial matter. Brother, doesn’t he have to worry to death? It has affected brother’s future, what future does the Wang family have?”

The maid was silent. She has always been the son of the Wang family, so she is naturally more loyal to the family. Of course, she hopes that Wang Wei, the pillar of the family, can have a bright future, but... the distant water cannot save the near fire. [

After Wang Fei reprimanded her, she hurried to the front hall. She really didn't want to be a burden to brother, who worked so hard to gain fame in Chang'an. She wanted to take the initiative to shoulder the burden of the family in the backyard. Not the girl who only seeks the protection of her elder brother, even if she is only 14 years old.

When Wang Fei finally came to the hall compartment, he peeked in through the door, and found that the person who came here to make trouble was indeed that Cui Po. For a year, he seemed to have decided that even if he couldn't take down the Hedong Wang family in one go , but also to disgust the Wang family if there is nothing to do.

The aristocratic families cherish their feathers more. Cui Po often visits here as the cousin of the mistress of the Hedong Wang family, which makes people have no reason to reject her. If she really does this, it will be right Cui Po's wish is that he can spread the "disapproval of the six relatives" of the Hedong Wang family everywhere, so as to achieve the purpose of discrediting the Hedong Wang family.

However, in the complex clan society of ancient times, this kind of "disapproval of six relatives" had a really bad influence. In fact, this kind of thing is also more difficult in modern times. It makes people criticize, but after all, there are no clans in modern society, and ordinary families will not tolerate some top-notch relatives in order to preserve their good reputation.

Cui Po's unremitting disgust with the Wang family is not only due to the small-minded revenge for the previous humiliation, but also has an interest factor. Cui Po's own family settled in Puzhou, and the Hedong Wang family moved to Puzhou with a fierce look. Long Guojiang's posture naturally made him feel like a stick in his throat.

When aristocratic families call themselves, they will say Boling Cui, Taiyuan Wang, etc., but in fact they don’t just settle in Boling or Taiyuan, it’s just a place of origin, maybe there, some aristocratic families It is indeed influential, but after being separated from the main family, it has developed better, and its scale has surpassed the place of origin.

The aristocratic family is composed of several direct-line branches. Maybe there is not much contact with each other at ordinary times, but when worshiping the ancestors, they will go to the place of origin to worship the ancestors. In the officialdom, they will naturally take care of each other. It can be said that the direct-line branches Between houses, competition and cooperation coexist, and together they are called a certain clan, which seems to be more cohesive.

Cui Po came to attack the Hedong Wang family this time, and he was obviously well prepared, so he looked extremely fearful, and the villain's triumphant look on his face made people more disgusted.

Behind Cui Po, there is still a young man who is looking around, as if looking for something. His appearance is somewhat similar to Cui Po's, and his frivolous appearance is even more similar to Cui Po's. He is Cui Po's eldest son Cui Daozhi .

Wang Fei didn't notice the young man, but just seeing Cui Po's appearance, he felt disgusted. Compared with previous years, he seemed to be more vain, and he could see his body hollowed out by wine. It got worse, too, and it seemed the man had been living a life of restraint.

Wang Fei secretly cursed this person to die sooner, while observing the situation in the spacious hall. Cui Po did not come alone this time, but also brought a so-called big man. Maybe this time it was really troublesome. See This posture is not just disgusting to the Wang family.

The big man brought by Cui Po seemed vaguely familiar to Wang Fei, and this man was sitting there, with two attendants standing behind him, both of whom were dressed as officials. It was obvious that this man was an official with lost quality.

Aristocratic families are naturally less afraid of officials than ordinary people, but that is because their families have power in the officialdom, which is enough to deter some young people who want to take advantage of the aristocratic families.

But at this time the power of the Hedong Wang family in the officialdom was really weak, not to mention that after falling out with the Taiyuan family, the family resource law in the officialdom provided convenience. Far water can't save near fire, not to mention some houses that just sympathize with Hedong Wang's.

The person who received Cui Po was naturally Wang Wei's mother Cui Shi, and since Wang Wei was not there, Wang Wei's younger brother Wang Jin was also in the hall, standing behind Cui Shi.

Wang Fei could tell at a glance that although his second brother tried his best to put on a very calm look, it was all an act, he was just imitating Wang Wei. Really nothing.

Compared with Wang Wei, the eldest brother, perhaps Wang Jin is better than Wang Wei in terms of literature, especially prose and calligraphy, but when it comes to worldly sophistication and scheming, he must be compared with Wang Wei in terms of his ability to resist pressure. No way, after all, he has been a younger brother who has enjoyed the protection of his elder brother since he was a child, so there is no chance to be the leader alone.

Although Wang Jin always played the role of chasing his elder brother, he also knew very well in his heart that in some respects, he was really inferior to Wang Wei. He always consciously imitated his outstanding elder brother, but he only resembled him in appearance. That's all.

Fortunately, Wang Jin only came out to support the scene, and it was Wang Wei's mother Cui who really dominated the Wang family. [

Cui Shi's delicate cheeks that have not been traced by the years are as indifferent as ever, as if she has really escaped into Buddhism with all her heart and is no longer moved by the world.

Cui has never been flustered by Cui Po's menacing appearance. She is as calm as ever, which makes Wang Fei very admired. She feels that she has to learn from her mother's strength and calmness. It seems that brother's character is passed down from her mother. .

Cui Po was not in a hurry to make trouble, he felt that he was a member of a respectable family, so while sipping the tea with relish, he greeted Cui Shi with a half-smile, he seemed to feel that he had already taken the initiative, so he It's a cat-and-mouse mentality.

Because Cui Po had reached some secret agreements with this Wang Yuanwang county magistrate before this, and thinking of the price he had to pay, he couldn't help but feel a little pained, but he also thought that these could be earned from the fat of the Hedong Wang family , he was relieved.

Cui Po used family resources to give Wang Yuan greater benefits in Fenzhou than Wang Chulian had given him before. In exchange, Wang Yuan, the former "friend" of Wang Chulian, of course had to fight back against the current precarious Hedong Wang family. First of all, the fertile land given to the Hedong Wang family by using power will be transferred to Cui Po's family, and secondly, it will hinder the Hedong Wang family's power to collect taxes for the government.

These two points are suspected to be the culprits of the Hedong Wang family, or in other words, the culprits of all the aristocratic families. Why are the aristocratic families the aristocratic families? As a decadent landlord class, how can they exploit the peasants without land?Land is the capital that aristocratic families really rely on.

The latter is a way for aristocratic families to suck up the country's financial resources. Naturally, ordinary people at the bottom can pay taxes directly to the government, but everyone knows what kind of people those government servants who come to collect taxes are, and they will naturally scrape the ground.

Therefore, an unspoken rule gradually formed, that is, the common people pay taxes to the aristocratic families, and then the government directly collects taxes from the aristocratic families, so that the common people can reduce exploitation, or make the aristocratic families more sustainable exploitation, and The government can guarantee the completion of the task, and naturally the filial piety of the aristocratic family is unavoidable.

It is conceivable that this kind of shady rule can be easily destroyed as long as the government interferes with it. For example, it is foolish and naive to tell the officials to collect taxes from ordinary people even though they have already collected taxes from aristocratic families. Dear people, the tax you paid was swallowed up by a certain family. In this way, the people may not dare to come to the door to "collect debts", but next time there will be people who will pay taxes to this family with a bad reputation. Naturally, we have to choose another one.

Cui looked at Wang Yuan indifferently, this "friend" who was originally her husband, seemed to have finally bared his fangs.

Cui has seen too many things like making friends because of interests, and then betraying them because of interests. This world is so gray.

"Wang Shaofu, I don't know what you and my cousin of the Cui family are here for?" Cui Shi is really too lazy to talk nonsense about some meaningful things, it's just a waste of time, it's better to get into the topic directly.

Wang Yuan's whole body is very fat, especially his belly, but his Chinese character face looks pretty good, after all, one must have decent looks to be an official these days.

A very kind smile appeared on Wang Yuan's face. He put down his teacup and said in a reminiscing tone: "It's been a while, sister-in-law is still so temperamental."
