Zhang Yun's ancient life

When Mr. Guan went to Zhang Yun's house this time, he specially brought the female family members with him. He did this not only for the purpose of connecting with each other, but also for the things that Zhang Yun entrusted to him.

Among his three generations of daughters-in-law, there is no need to say anything about his daughter-in-law. He has three daughters, but only one son. However, this son still has an honest and honest temperament, and no matter how much he teaches, he can't change it.

Throwing such a temperament into the officialdom that cannibalizes people without vomiting too much, that is to serve as food for others. Mrs. Guan is reluctant to let his only son suffer, and his son is indeed not the material for studying and learning. , So the old man gritted his teeth and decided to raise his son as a son for the rest of his life, and transfer the goal of training to his grandson's generation.

The old man Guan, who had a goal, married his son a wife when he was 16 years old. At that time, the old man chose his daughter-in-law with simple criteria, that is, the family background is clean, the family education is good, there are many brothers in the clan, and the old man chooses his daughter-in-law. It is also necessary to look like a good-looking Yinan.

Of course, the daughter-in-law selected by such a standard cannot come from a rich family. Feng's natal family is only a wealthy family in the county, and they can be regarded as a country gentry. Even her own etiquette was adjusted and taught by Mrs. Guan after she married into the Guan family.

The reason why the old man brought her here today is because she is the wife in charge of the house. After so many years of being a housekeeper, she finally has some experience, and this experience is exactly what Guan Jing needs now.

The Feng family gave birth to two daughters with two characters. Grandpa Guan’s eldest grandson was born with him and taught him personally. The child is quite up-to-date. At the age of 24, he was a Juren, and at the age of 30, he was ranked second in the imperial examination. No.30 four.

Although the ranking is a little lower, but it is also a real Jinshi background. The child grew up by the old man Guan's side since he was a child, and he has learned a lot about the way of life of the old man Guan Guan. , but people are still clever, so after the results of the palace examination came down, the old man asked his relationship to find a way to make up for him.

Now more than [-] years have passed, and his eldest grandson has been promoted from the master of the eighth rank to the state judge of the sixth rank. He has made no major achievements or demerits, and has been promoted steadily all the way. Recently, I heard that The imperial court took pity on his hard work these years, and planned to give him a half-level upgrade as a consolation.

As for Mrs. Guan's little grandson, he followed his father's temperament firmly. After years of failing in the rural examination, he suddenly figured it out and decided not to struggle with the scientific examination anymore. He went to work as an aide under his brother's account, and after all these years, he has also become a senior.

Regarding his eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Guan was very cautious in choosing his eldest grandson's wife. He knew that his family's foundation was shallow, and he could not help his grandson if he left Li County. It must be someone who can help his grandson's future career.

But people like them are really nothing in the officialdom. Those high-ranking and powerful families look down on them, and the small family of old Mr. Guan really looks down on them. I met the daughter of the eldest daughter of An's family in Wenquan County next door.

The An family in Wenquan County is regarded as a family of official households, and official means a small official.

The people of An's family are good at drilling. The elders, brothers and many cousins ​​of An's natal family are all working in the yamen. Jeju Prefecture and the other two adjacent state capitals add up to more than 200 counties and cities , almost half of the yamen have people from the An family working as officials.

Although the official ranks are not high, most of them are from the eighth or ninth rank, and the highest are from the sixth rank, and some don't even have a rank, and they are knife and pen officials in the government office, but these are all contacts No matter what happened in these state capitals, they could not escape An's eyes.

This is what Mr. Guan values. Although his grandson has learned his attitude towards dealing with people, he is too honest and easy to plot against others, and the people in the An family are very shrewd, and even a little trouble can't escape their eyes and ears. With such in-laws around, no one can easily plot against his grandson.

And the people in the An family are also very satisfied with the grandson of Mrs. Guan. Their family is too inquisitive and has no reputation in the circle of scholars. .

Now it seems that the decisions of the two families are very correct. Grandpa Guan’s grandson’s official career has been safe and stable without any disturbances, and An’s family has also worshiped good teachers for the children with the help of his uncle. Now there are two juren.

With such a natal family, Anshi can't be shrewd, and she is not only shrewd but also the best at dancing. She is a natural diplomatic talent. This can be seen from the fact that Anshi can make sandwich biscuits.

There is the mother-in-law who is the head of the family, and the daughter-in-law who is born in a famous family. Anshi is in the middle, and neither side can offend. The relationship between the upper and lower is extremely appropriate, which is not something ordinary people can do.

The old lady Guan introduced her to Guan Jing this time, hoping that Guan Jing could learn something from her. After all, no one knows better than her how to get along with those official ladies and wives.

Mrs. An gave Mrs. Guan three great-grandchildren, and the one he was most proud of was his great-grandson. That child completely inherited his brain. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 17 and became a Jinshi at the age of 20. It was them The youngest person among the candidates who won the Jinshi in that session.

His teacher appreciated his talent and learning, so he acted as a matchmaker for him, and betrothed to him the niece of his younger brother's family who was waiting in the boudoir, who is now his great-grandson-in-law Wu Shi.

Wu's father has always been an official in the Ministry of Rites. He is the current member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang. He has extremely strict requirements on the etiquette of the children in the family. If there is anyone who can adjust and teach Guan Jing's etiquette, then she should be the best candidate to do her part.

Looking at the people I brought out, thinking about what they are good at, even the old man Guan can't help but think secretly in his heart, this God loves Zhang Yun and his family too much, right? What is missing there, and what happens to be here, does this count as the fulfillment of all wishes?

When the group of them arrived at Zhang Yun's house, many people who got the news and lived nearby had already rushed over, and the gate of Zhang Yun's house was very busy.

Fortunately, they are all from nearby families, and most of the people who come here are acquaintances. Come to their homes with gifts, sit down, ask questions, take a look, and the novelty wears off. People also left.

But even so, Guan Jing and the others, who stayed at home to watch the house, were too busy, brewing tea from household to household, and serving melon and fruit snacks plate by plate. Well, the next wave of people came over again, repeatedly making Guan Jing and the others' heads grow bigger.

But they are all neighbors from left to right, they brought gifts to congratulate you, how could you throw face at them, if you really do that, then tomorrow the whole county will be full of excitement to listen to.So when the old master Guan and the others came, it was the time when Guan Jing and the others were in a state of desperation.

Hearing Aunt Ma say that three more carriages were coming from the door, Guan Jing even felt like crying, that motherfucker, who still keeps people alive, he is already exhausted.

But when guests come, you can't just drive them away, so Guan Jing left the guests who were being entertained in the house to Aunt Guan, and she cheered up and went out, planning to welcome new guests .

Standing at the door, Guan Jing saw her father getting off the carriage, and then helped the old chief of the Guan clan to get down. Afterwards, the people in the two carriages behind also got off.

Guan Jing saw that although the people who came here were not very familiar, they still knew them all, but he didn't understand why his father led them to his home, so Guan Jing carefully winked at Uncle Guan, hoping that he would give him a favor. explain.

But the uncle didn't pay attention to his wink at all, and just waved his hand at him when he passed by, meaning to tell him to follow. Although Guan Jing didn't understand his thoughts, he obediently followed them in.

When entering the yard, Mrs. Guan gave special instructions, saying that the carriage outside does not need to be moved to other places, but just wait at the door. Guan Jing was relieved when he heard this, and it was finally temporary that he didn't have to go any further. Worrying about the constant stream of guests.

Because the guest parked the carriage outside the door of the master’s house, it was a kind of notice to the people who came later. Generally, there would be a sign of the master’s house on the carriage, which means you saw it, I’m here now, the people behind You weigh up your status and whether you are qualified enough to come and intervene when I am talking with the owner of this house.

Although it is very unpleasant to do so, it is also a way of expressing one's identity and avoiding troubles. Just like today, Mr. Guan drove the carriage to the gate of Zhang Yun's house. See if you are qualified enough.

And not only the people in the back are winking, but the guests in the house are also good at watching people. When they saw the head of the Guan family who came in, they knew that there should be something to explain in a while, so they were in the house. Those who were guests, after greeting the family of the patriarch of the Guan family who came in later, they all found some excuses in a very tacit understanding and left separately.
