An ordinary house near the Gongyuan, the yard has been cleaned up. Xu Qingtang is in the temporary study, directing the servant to organize the books he brought, and Xu Xian is with him.￥f,

Xu Yu felt bored when he sat down, so he walked out and stood at the door. He saw a young man carrying a load and shouting along the street: "The yellow sandy flesh, the three white and black skins of the red sandy flesh! It can clear the heat, quench thirst, and quench wine! Auntie, come and try it? It costs five cents and a lotus petal, and a bite is full of honey water."

The white-haired aunt took a pot in front of her, raised the wooden spoon and pointed it at him, sneering: "I sell sour plum soup, do you care about your melon?"

"Hehe." The young peddler smiled embarrassedly and walked away.

"Come here." Xu Yu waved at him, "Pick two sweet ones, cut them and send them in."

"Okay!" The young man selling watermelon came over happily and put down his burden.

The trivial matters were taken care of by the flower farmers and others. Xu Yu smiled at him and walked towards the opposite side.

The aunt sitting in front of the door immediately greeted: "Customers, please try the sour plum soup in my house. Who doesn't know that the Qiu family was the number one in the capital in the Qinhuai River?"

"Give me a bowl." Xu Yu said with a smile.

"Wait." The old lady opened the lid of the pot and said while scooping the soup: "The sour plums brewed by the old woman are cooked with good rock sugar, and cooked with roses, osmanthus and ice water. Eating a bowl will make you feel more energetic."

Xu Yu took the bowl and tasted it. It was indeed delicious and praised: "It is cool and refreshing, and it tastes good! But why is your business so bleak?"

The old lady who was over 50 years old smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, my family really made some money in the early years. Who among the sisters on the Qinhuai River didn't order my sour plum soup? Later, my husband was so sad that he insisted on going back to his hometown to open a hotel. But in a few years he left. His son and daughter-in-law were not good at managing and he was old. He was so old that he sold the store at a low price and the family came back."

"Oh." Xu Yu nodded, paid twice the money, and walked back to look at the Qinhuai River in the distance as the aunt thanked her.

There were clouds of boats on the river, and there were many women in the cabin, but I couldn't see clearly. The shops were lined up on the shore, and the small vendors were busy selling watermelon and peaches, some were selling side dishes, some were selling tofu, and even some were selling beef. They squeezed around with tourists, and there were also several graphic stalls on the roadside.

Suddenly the flower farmer brought a white-faced scholar to come over and said, "Master, this young master, who is the owner of the house, is studying in the county."

"I met Brother Xu after I was young and I was born in Wu Daiyun." The scholar saluted respectfully.

"I'm here to see you, my brother." Xu Yu bowed politely.

Xu Yu didn't know that the scholar named Wu Daiyun was named Wu Biyan. His father was originally from Linjiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. He moved to Jinling in the 12th year of Hongwu. With his family's status as a prominent family in his hometown, he sought to be awarded the Shangyuan County Literature Office, which was not yet in the country.

Later, he spent hundreds of taels of silver to become a county river official in the tributary of the Qinhuai River. He leaned against the Jiaosifang and managed dozens of flower boats in the river to collect the so-called pollen tax.

However, he is too close to the world's number one Qinhuai River. The magnet effect is that he is in charge of old and old prostitutes and prostitutes. This lack of money can't make any money. Fortunately, he is considered a well-known person in the local area. He has a few people under his command, and he can do anything at once, which is much better than being a bookkeeper.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains and relying on the mountains and waters to eat waters, Wu Biyan will be a lust in his life, so that he can summon four women and change them when he is tired of playing. In name, he said that he is serving his wife and sons, but in fact he keeps his own benefit.

Every day, I ate the wine and food from the flower boat, hugged the baby, and cut it every night. Among them, there is a girl who just turned 16, named Sister Qian, who looks very good and has learned a lot of inner charm. Wu Biyan is most proud of her.

However, in his forties, his energy is limited, and Sister Qian is young and demanding too much, so gradually Wu Biyan cannot help but cope. Although his father is not good, his son is energetic. Wu Daiyun is studying since childhood and is the most familiar with the "disciples who have something to do."

No matter what you are, father and son are not father and son, Wu Daiyun and Sister Qian quickly had a fierce fight. One day, the two were in a state of ups and downs, and were caught by Wu Biyan who was halfway home, and they were so angry that they beat them up.

After driving Sister Qian out, Wu Biyan thought that this would not work. It was not good for his son to stay at home all day long, so he ordered Wu Daiyun to go into the city and study part-time in the house in the city.

Xu Yu and Wu Daiyun were chatting. Although they didn't know the bottom line of the person, they gradually realized that the other person was frivolous and their eyes were wandering. Whenever they passed by a woman with good looks, their eyes couldn't help but chase them.

He saw that he was not a serious person at first sight, so Xu Yu was impatient and barely chatted for a while, saying that his grandfather was thinking about him, saying goodbye, and turned around and went back.

Wu Daiyun watched him leave with regretful expressions, but he didn't notice what his identity was and what his identity was. He was already very lucky to be able to speak for a long time after meeting him for the first time.

He turned around and walked into the next house, whose surname was Sun, who was from Yuyao Town, Shaoxing Prefecture. Speaking of which, the Sun family of Yuyao was a top-notch Jiangnan family in the Ming Dynasty, and was known as "Honghe Sun's family, with 800 gauze hats". In other words, a big family with more than 800 people above scholars.

However, the Sun family of Yuyao was completely emerging decades later, and now only one Jinshi appeared in the family.

The Sun family has always been one of the big surnames in China. The Sun family in Yuyao alone has long been scattered. Now the male population is about 4,000. The farthest living in Yunnan, Guangxi, such as Suzhou, Wujiang, Jinling, etc., all have clan members.

This Sun family is in business. His wife Shi gave birth to a son, Sun Jiang, his concubine Li gave birth to his eldest daughter, Sun Huixin, and his concubine Ren gave birth to his younger daughter, Huiruo.

The Sun family in Yuyao is different from the traditional Jiangnan prominent family. The ancestors were loyal ministers of the Later Tang Dynasty and famous general Sun Yue. There was a tomb of General Sun in his hometown in Yuyao, and his descendants stayed to guard the tomb.

After turmoil and upholding the family tradition, most of the Sun clans have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and have lived by farming for generations. The whole family is in a poor family.

It is said that the sixth generation tribe members became monks and had the opportunity to read and read. In addition to studying Buddhist scriptures, they also specialized in Confucian classics. Later, their parents returned to their hometown to bury their parents, and built a hut to guard the tomb for three years. During this period, they summoned nephews and children from the clan to teach the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Rites. As a result, the Sun gradually became a scholarly family.

During the Song Dynasty, after nearly 200 years of continuous accumulation and hard work by seven or eight generations, the Sun family finally became one of the famous families in Yuyao County at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, during the Yuan Dynasty, everything was returned to the starting point, and the Sun family was unwilling to serve the foreign race, and the court did not allow the people of Jiangnan to read and read, and the whole clan became a group of illiterate farmers.

But because of this, the people of Jiangnan were angry that they were old Comrade Zhu, who was hostile to them, frequently issued an order to migrate to major prominent families in Jiangnan, and the gentry and wealthy people came to Beijing. The Sun clan was lucky to not be on the list.

Now the Sun family has restored the grand occasion of every household's reading, and the children of the clan do not forget to farm and practice martial arts. The long-standing family reputation has given the clan members a strong cohesion. The strong clan style of both literary and military has once again formed a powerful local clan power, has a lofty social reputation in Jiangnan and has a considerable reputation even in the country. All of this has made the Sun family have the conditions to become prosperous.

Later generations commented: "The famous family in Yaojiang, Xiansong Wang and Sun"; and there was also praise that "for more than 200 years, there was only one family in the country."

Therefore, in this revived prominent clan, the children of the clan can be officials, soldiers, farming, and doing small business, but they are not allowed to become merchants. The Sun family in Jinling violated the taboos in the clan, and was expelled from the family and expelled from Yuyao.

Mr. Sun also changed his name angrily, but his son still named Sun Jiang according to the genealogy for future reasons. The Sun family member who was the first to pass the imperial examination was named Sun Hong, who is the current censor and is his nephew of his clan by seniority.

Many major tribes in the Ming Dynasty were influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang and were popular to name them according to the radicals of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It did not change until the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

(After saying so much nonsense, because the new book is probably related to the Sun family in Yuyao, Xiaochai, who learned from his mistakes, has decided to give it a try.)

At the side of Prince Mu's mansion, Aunt Shen went to Hongwen's room and first apologized for Meinu, and then advised Hongwen to apologize to her wife.

Hongwen knew that the aunt was invited by the master, and for a moment, she hesitated and refused to give in because of her face. After repeated persuasion from Aunt Shen, she agreed along the steps and came to the room together.

Du Qianqian didn't say anything, Hongwen took the initiative to step forward and kowtowed, saying, "It's all my fault, please forgive me."

Aunt Shen helped her smooth things over while Du Qianqian's face gradually became better. After all, she was a girl who had been around for many years, almost like a mother and daughter. She said, "Think about your arrogant look, should you? Since you know how to regret it today, I have nothing left. I just want you to correct yourself from now on and don't get into the madness that day again."

"Ouch! Madam is so generous." Aunt Shen smiled and complimented. Seeing that the wife was not annoyed, she took the opportunity to open the ear door.

After telling some funny jokes, Hongwen also carefully accompanied her and served her wife to comb her hair and change her clothes. Du Qianqian's anger completely disappeared and she kept them for dinner.

Half an hour later, Aunt Shen saw that her wife had recovered as usual, and she with Hongwen with confidence, went back to her room. After dealing with the matter today, she forced Meinu to go to the room and Hongwen's room to apologize one by one.

Let’s talk about Du Qianqian first, she was not angry with Mei Nu. It was not a big deal for those who came or not, but it was just a formality. As for Hongwen, she had to ask Mei Nu to go over and walk, which made Hongwen’s face feel decent.

In short, Aunt Shen is very versatile in handling this matter. Who wouldn’t praise her for saying goodbye? She completely compared Hongwen.

Meinu came to apologize, which made Hongwen very helpless. Even if she didn't want to, she had to go to Aunt Shen's room to express her gratitude. She had to exchange courtesy, so the storm ended.

Is it really a matter of silence? Even men who are generous by nature may not remember them in their hearts. They will forget them over time, and women who are calculating by nature will never forget them even if they are beaten to death. No matter what, they will feel a grudge from then on.

Whether Hongwen holds a grudge against Aunt Chen's pretending to be good, or Chen is guarding against her revenge, even Du Qianqian treats Hongwen differently. Whenever she encounters differences and does not give her a good face, Du Qianqian is worried that if she is a little indulged and relies on the favored Hongwen to regain her old appearance, it will be even more difficult to restrain herself once she loses her majesty.

Perhaps only Mu Angzhen thought the inner house was calm and very happy. She went to Aunt Chen's room to thank her for her virtuousness and praised her for her good mediation.

Aunt Chen smiled and said with a hint of meaning: "I can't afford to thank you for your thanks. I just want not to blame me. I'm lucky."

"How could that happen?" Mu Ang smiled.

"Then tonight?" Aunt Chen said softly, her eyes flowing in an instant, and her charming was endless.

Mu Ang laughed and said, "Of course, I will devote myself to my husband and die until I die."

Besides, Wu Daiyun entered the Sun family and came to find his friend Chen Tao. Chen Tao was naturally a descendant of the famous Shen family in Jiangnan.

The Shen clan has a long history. Like the Sun clan, the ancestors were all one of the princes who were granted by the Zhou Dynasty. The descendants of the Ji surname were also destroyed by the large country during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the descendants took the country as their surname.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin State implemented Shang Yang's reforms, and the Shen family fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Later, one of the branches moved to Wucheng, namely Shebuxiang, Huzhou, Zhejiang, and was the first ancestor of the Shen family's Wuxing tribe.

The most famous one is Shen Kuo, who wrote "Mengxi Bitan", who is said to be the 70th ancestor of the Shen family.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng occupied the territory of the Three Wus and sent people to serve as soldiers. Shen Ziwen, the leader of the 80th generation of the Shen clan, brought his clan members to live in seclusion in the nearby Wujiang County.

But in the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was disgusted with the rich, issued an order to conquer the Nandanwei of Guangxi. Of course, it may have nothing to do with this. Anyway, the Shen clan was disbanded.

The Shen clan of Wujiang was in the Nandan Guard for many years. During the Hongxi period, he changed to Maoshan Guard of Zhending Prefecture. Among them, Chen Tao's brother Shen Hao was tall and strong and had a good appearance. He was selected as the general of the Han Dynasty in front of the palace and moved his family to Jinling.

Life in the Shen family began to get better, and they had money to support their younger brother Chen Tao, their son Chen Jing and others to study.

A few years ago, Shen Hao, who was in his forties, accidentally stabbed his colleague while training, causing serious injuries. He was relieved of his military meritorious service and released him to his hometown.

For families like the Shen family, this punishment is not a disaster but a blessing, so the whole family happily packed their luggage and took a boat to return to their hometown where they had been away for many years.

Chen Jing is Shen Hao's second son. He is frugal and good at managing the family. He built a house in the county town for rent and kept buying land outside the city. He lived so carefully and became rich in a few years. So he built a "Lansheng Building" and wrote a lot of books, hoping that his children and grandchildren could revive the Shen family's family through studying for the imperial examination.

His brother probably thought he could inherit his father's military position and call on friends in the capital. He was used to being idle. He would not live a life when he returned to his hometown, and his family business gradually declined. Fortunately, his son could go to his younger brother's private school for free.

Interestingly, it is probably because the two brothers were rich and poor that Chen Jing's son finally lived up to expectations and became a tribute student in the fourth year of Chenghua, that is, a public-funded college student recommended by the local government.

Although he failed to pass the Jinshi exam, the Shen family of Wuxing restored the style of poetry, calligraphy and etiquette.

Brother Chen Jing gave birth to four sons, especially the eldest son Chen Kui. Due to the family experience, he studied hard since childhood and served his parents very filial. The four brothers lived together for life and supported each other. They were friendly and respectful, and praised by the villagers.

Although he had no money to take the imperial examination, in such a poor environment, Chen Kui had many life insights. His writing and lyrics were not without rules, and his poetry style was simple and ancient, approaching the Han and Wei dynasties, becoming a great master of the folk literary world, and began to be the first of the Shen family in Wujiang.
