Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 377 Raw Rice Cooked Mature Rice
Because of the early death of Tang Yanxiu's mother, and the fact that Tang Yanxiu suffered a lot in the Tang family when he was young, the Patriarch of the Duan family didn't have any good feelings for the Tang family's uncles and aunts.

But, no matter what, the man died like a lamp went out.

Now that there are only a couple of orphans and widows left, the Patriarch of the Duan family can't care about them any more.

After all, not everyone has the courage to risk everything like Grandma Mo's.

"Forget it, they are your relatives after all, so you should do this." The Patriarch of the Duan family sighed very much, because there was a huge age difference between him and Tang Yanxiu's mother.At the beginning, when the Duan family was choosing a marriage for Tang Yanxiu's mother, he had already grown up and married and had children.Therefore, he was quite clear about the events at that time.

For example, the scenery of the Tang family at that time.

Regardless of how much this dynasty values ​​businessmen, no matter how high the status of this businessman is, it is impossible to compare with officials and eunuchs.

Otherwise, allowing the sons of merchants to pursue official careers would not be regarded as a favor from Emperor Taizu.

Because of this, even though Tang Yanxiu's mother's dowry was extremely generous back then, almost everyone thought she was married high.After all, the Tang family is a family of officials and officials, and it is also a big family.Although they are also one of the families that helped Emperor Taizu conquer the world more than a hundred years ago.But in fact, let alone a small Duan family, even the three major charity merchants in this dynasty combined cannot be compared with the Tang family.

But such a family of military generals has already fallen to this point after only more than ten years.

Tang Yanxiu's grandfather, father, and uncle have all passed away. Leaving aside the hall sister and so on, Tang Yanxiu himself has no intention of pursuing an official career. You can't do it.

Even though Tang Yanxiu has great enthusiasm and talent for doing business, but...

The head of the Duan family sighed deeply in his heart. Even though he had some rifts with the Tang family before, considering the current situation of the Tang family, the head of the Duan family could only sigh.

There is a saying that was said by Hua Qingcheng, the eldest daughter of the Hua family.

The three major charitable merchants in this dynasty paid only money, and now it has been multiplied many times.But what the Tang family paid was human life, and it has even fallen to such a point now.

"Yanxiu, listen to my uncle's persuasion. Anyway, you don't intend to go into an official career, so it's better to clear up the affairs of Jingdu County as soon as possible. In the future, whether you stay in Wanhua County or go to Luyang County to find us, It’s better than staying in Kyoto County.”

"Uncle..."

Tang Yanxiu looked at the Patriarch of the Duan family in amazement. He was just talking about taking the Tang family's aunt, mother and son back to Jingdu County, why did he say in a blink of an eye that he should not stay in Jingdu County?

"Jingdu County is under the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the situation there is too complicated. By the way, Yanxiu, you also know the three major charity merchants in this dynasty? In addition to the Duan family in Luyang County and the Hua family in Wanhua County, you also know another one. who is it?"

"Wanjia? I remember, that Wanjia is from Kyoto County, right?"

Regarding the matter of the three major charity merchants in this dynasty, it was mentioned by the grandfather of the Tang family when Tang Yanxiu did not leave the Tang family.

However, at that time, the grandfather of the Tang family only mentioned it briefly, and did not tell Tang Yanxiu the specific situation in detail.I don't know whether it is the grandfather of the Tang family who thinks it is unnecessary, or he himself is not too clear.

It wasn't until later that Tang Yanxiu left the Tang family and Jingdu County, and on the contrary got to know the so-called three great philanthropists better.

Of course, this does not include Wanjia in Kyoto County.

Seeing Tang Yanxiu's unsure expression, the head of the Duan family couldn't help but shook his head: "Yanxiu, you grew up in Jingdu County, so you don't know Wanjia. No, you know Wanjia, but You don't take the Wan family seriously at all, do you?"

"hey-hey……"

Tang Yanxiu smiled embarrassingly. In fact, what the Patriarch of the Duan family said was completely correct.

Sighing again, the head of the Duan family endured the helplessness in his heart, and had to say a few words to Tang Yanxiu: "This Wan family, other things are fine, you just remember one sentence. The merchants next door, Including the Duan family and the Hua family, they are all engaged in business with specific objects. But the Wan family is engaged in royal business."

For a while, Tang Yanxiu couldn't understand what this so-called "business of specific objects" was.

It's business, of course...

Oh no, regardless of this life, in his previous life he had seen too many businesses without specific objects.For example, transactions on virtual networks and so on.

But now, it makes Tang Yanxiu very confused.

And the last sentence "Imperial business" made Tang Yanxiu faintly feel that something was wrong.

"Uncle, do you mean that the Wan family is an imperial merchant? It specializes in doing business with the imperial family?" After thinking about it, Tang Yanxiu felt that his idea should be quite reliable.

No, but the head of the Duan family smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Yan Xiu, the Wan family is indeed an imperial merchant, but that's not what I was referring to just now." After a pause, the Patriarch of the Duan family was full of hesitation, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Wan family's true identity?" Business is... a meritorious service."

"Uh."

Tang Yanxiu was a little dumbfounded, but the Patriarch of the Duan family seemed to be thinking that since he had already spoken, he would simply clarify the matter.

At that moment, the Patriarch of the Duan family spoke again: "Let me tell you clearly, all the forces of the Wan family are in Jingdu County. Regardless of their business on the surface, they secretly make friends with the princes, and then choose One of the princes most worthy of support will be crowned the throne."

"what!"

Hearing such blunt words, Tang Yanxiu was in a bad mood.

He is an engineering student, and he is not proficient in history, but this does not mean that he has no brains!

Knowing that the Patriarch of the Duan family would not deceive him about this kind of thing, Tang Yanxiu was... full of admiration for the Wan family.

This is simply determined to drag the whole family to seek death!
"How many times have they succeeded?" Tang Yanxiu couldn't help gossiping after feeling emotional.

The head of the Duan family didn't expect Tang Yanxiu to change the subject inexplicably after hearing about the situation of the Wan family, after showing a trace of astonishment. He was a little dazed, but instinctively replied: "Several times, right? Emperor Taizu After conquering the world, he died of illness 30 years later. The emperor Gaozu who came to the throne later married the daughter of the head of the Wan family at that time..."

Under the popularization of science by Patriarch Duan, Tang Yanxiu spent some time sorting out the history of the dynasty.

Fortunately, it has only been more than a hundred years since the founding of this dynasty, so the history is not too difficult to remember.

First, Emperor Taizu conquered the world and died of a serious illness 30 years later.

Then, the prince who had married the daughter of the Wan family ascended the throne and was called Gaozu, but the queen did not have an adult son, so the queen's adopted son inherited the throne.

Since then, Empress Wan has changed from empress to empress dowager. Her adopted son calls himself Renzong, who is the current emperor, and married a daughter of the Wan family. Pick one to adopt.

"Actually, you don't need to know these things too clearly. I just want to tell you that Jingdu County is a place of right and wrong. Since you don't want to go into official career, there is no need to stay in Jingdu County. Even if you want to do business, with It is better for the Hua family to compete than to fight against the Wan family."

After the head of the Duan family finished popularizing historical knowledge, he summed up very earnestly.

Anyway, in the eyes of the head of the Duan family, the Hua family is quite easy to talk to, and the relationship with Tang Yanxiu seems to be good, even if some unhappiness occurs in the future due to business problems.With the consistent style of the Hua family, it is possible to overwhelm them, but it is impossible to kill them.

But Wanjia is different!

To put it bluntly, the three major charity merchants in this dynasty, the Duan family and the Hua family are just ordinary businessmen, even if they do a lot of business, they still belong to the category of merchants.Only Wanjia is no longer a simple businessman, they have extended their hands to the heirs of the royal family, and even the throne!
"I understand."

Tang Yanxiu is not the kind of person who can't wait, and he doesn't plan to stay in Jingdu County for a long time. He patted his chest and said that he would sell the Tang family's property after sending the Tang family's mother and son to Jingdu County. After reorganization, he left Kyoto County immediately.

Hearing what Tang Yanxiu said, the head of the Duan family was finally relieved.

What he was most afraid of was that Tang Yanxiu was young and ignorant. If any troubles were caused in Wanhua County or Luyang County, the Duan family would still be able to help clean it up.But if it was in Kyoto County, then the problem would be bigger.

After explaining everything clearly, the Patriarch of the Duan family and his son left Wanhua County. They wanted to rush back to Luyang County as soon as possible to deal with the follow-up issues of Duan Jiqiu's marriage.

Before Tang Yanxiu sent them away, he also promised that on the way to Jingdu County, he would stop by Luyang County to see the old man and the old lady of the Duan family.

In this regard, the Patriarch of the Duan family expressed his satisfaction.

It's a pity that there is one thing that the Patriarch of the Duan family would never have thought of.

As soon as Tang Yanxiu sent her away, the other party had already made the time to find someone to pick up the Tang family's aunt, mother and son in Chongming County.

He will definitely go to the Duan family in Luyang County, just in case, before going, he must marry Mo Qianrui first!

What did that sentence say?

It’s a long night and dreamy, why not cook the raw rice first?
The news of Uncle Tang's death was concealed, and Tang Yanxiu didn't want to expose it at all.Therefore, in this way, the Tang family's filial piety will be in September.Considering the order of the Holy Majesty that the Tang family's uncles and aunts can only leave Chongming County after the filial piety period, Tang Yanxiu decided to set the date of marriage in October.

October is so good, the autumn is high and the air is crisp, it is a good time to get married.

After they got married under the witness of Tang's aunt and Mo's elders, even if there is something wrong with the Duan family, there is no need to be afraid.

"Xiao Rui! The first day of October is a good day, why don't we make a wedding ceremony on that day!"
