Chapter 339: The Promise Zhen Family, the five beautiful women hold the lintel(1/3)
The war in the north is getting burning, and a war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan that determines the ownership of the north is about to begin.
now…
It was already before the decisive battle, and Yuan Shao had already begun to prepare for the final preparations for food, grass and weapons!
Gongsun Zan was not idle either. He sent someone to write a letter to Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army. Perhaps... if he had such a strong support, he still had a chance of winning!
Five days!
Yuan Shao and his second son Yuan Xi rushed to Zhongshan under the escort of Zhang He.
At this time, in Zhongshan County, there was a luxurious mansion in Wuji... Nearly a hundred servants were cleaning the door and organizing the flowers, plants and trees in the mansion!
At the gate of this room, the two words "Zhenfu" in the plaque made of sandalwood and golden table are vividly revealed.
Zhongshan Wuji Zhen Family…
Their ancestor, ancestor, grandfather Zhen Han, once served as the Taibao Houcheng, and was also appointed as the Grand Sima and Chengxin Duke. The most important thing is that he was the 14th generation grandson of Confucius, the then general and prime minister.
, the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor Kong Guang!
It was from then on that, the Zhen family’s network of relationships has spread throughout the northern border!
For a long time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhen family is a top wealthy clan in the four northern prefectures.
What if...
During this period, Zhen Yi, the owner of the Zhen family, died of illness ten years ago. The eldest son Zhen Yu, the second son Zhen Yan, and the third son Zhen Yao died one after another!
Only the "female" people in the Zhen family are left...
The title of top wealthy clans is gone forever.
Fortunately...
With the relationship network left behind in the past, the Zhen family's business is doing well under the management of a "female" person.
Now, the person in charge here is Zhen Yi’s wife Zhang!
In addition, there are five beautiful daughters she gave birth to and her deceased husband.
eldest sister Zhen Jiang; second sister Zhen Tuo;
Third sister Zhen Dao; fourth sister Zhen Rong; fifth sister Zhen Mi.
"Madam, Madam..."
At this moment, a guard hurried into the lobby and said respectfully: "In another half a day, Mr. Yuan... Mr. Yuan will be here in Wuji County."
call…
On the main seat of the lobby, a woman's closed eyes slowly opened. The woman was nearly forty years old, wearing a pale yellow Taoist robe, but her eyebrows were picturesque and beautiful.
She is Mrs. Zhang, the head of Zhen’s mansion, now!
In this era, few women can still maintain this way to such a look at this age... What she released was a steady aura.
She slowly put down the teacup in her hand.
The Yuan Gong who was reported to the guards was naturally Yuan Shao. How could Mrs. Zhang not know about his purpose for coming here?
Her eyes suddenly became sharper, and she slowly stood up and looked back at the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang beside her, "Are the carriage ready?"
"Well!" Zhen Jiang is now twenty-three and four years old. She is one of the few helpers around Mrs. Zhang. Without men, the entire Zhen family relies on these two women to support this world.
"Then let's go..." Mrs. Zhang stood up and stroked Zhen Jiang's forehead, as if she was quite reluctant. "Mom specially bought a house there, and the city is even more of our Zhen's shops... You go first
Bar."
this…
Hearing this, it was obvious that Zhen Jiang hesitated for a moment, and her teeth bit her lips slightly.
"Mom, won't you go together?"
"No." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand... "Mr. Yuan is about to arrive. I have to deal with it here."
Having said this, Mrs. Zhang was no longer nostalgic and asked the ward to take Zhen Jiang to the carriage.
In addition to her, the other four daughters...
Mrs. Zhang sent it quietly in batches early in the morning. The last one was his fifth daughter Zhen Mi, and the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang was the last one.
"mother…"
The last shout.
In recent years, Zhen Jiang knows how difficult it is to manage the Zhen family!
She did not dare to disobey her mother's intentions, nor did she dare to question her mother's deployment, so she had to retreat under the guidance of the hospital.
only…
I don’t know, this is the case tonight? What will happen to me next time I see my mother?
call…
Watching the last daughter leave, Mrs. Zhang's eyes opened and her whole body was full of energy. Her tone was not loud, but... it was extremely penetrating and majestic!
"Immediately gather the servants in the mansion and list them at the gate of the mansion. We welcome Mr. Yuan... If anyone dares to slackew, the family law will be dealt with!"
As he spoke, Mrs. Zhang took that low step and walked towards the gate the first step.
"Here!"
A group of servants, the maid agreed with great respect and followed Mrs. Zhang's pace and walked out quickly.
The atmosphere in the entire Zhen Mansion became much more solemn.
…
On the official road leading to Wuji County.
A cavalry team was galloping, and the ones sitting in the carriage were Yuan Shao and his second son Yuan Xi.
I heard that my father wanted to marry Zhen Mi, the little daughter of the Zhen family!
Yuan Xi's face looked ugly.
"Father, child... How can a child marry a woman from a merchant family? Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants? Merchants are the last ones to climb the lintel of our Yuan family, and is the Zhen family worthy of it?"
"What do you know?" Yuan Shao glared at him coldly, and then said in a deep voice. "The Zhen family is not an ordinary merchant, but the largest merchant in the four northern states! Their business is spread throughout the Han Dynasty, their
The relationship is even more complicated in the four northern states. Isn’t it as simple as you imagine?”
call…
Yuan Xi didn't understand any more, so he slammed his forehead lightly.
It is true... there are rumors that "there are two Qiaos in Lujiang and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei" in the market, which is enough to prove that this little girl in the Zhen family must be charming and beautiful.
However, Yuan Xi is not a greedy person, he is a man of beauty. Yuan Xi’s wife must be able to help him!
And the Zhen family, a merchant family, is also worthy of being called a mixed relationship?
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi's eyes added a little disdain.
Yuan Shao's words continued. "The ancestors of the Zhen family had a marriage with Confucius after them, and the men of the Zhen family were also the most powerful ministers. If the Zhen family's men had not died young, these females would not be able to become officials.
How could the Zhen family become a merchant? How would the status drop sharply?”
"Diet young?"
Yuan Xi was a little confused. He was still a little scared, "Father, then this little daughter of the Zhen family cannot marry her. How can the Zhen family be kissed? What if the child is caught?"
Oh!
Yuan Shao snorted coldly. "What's the dear? The lintel of the fourth generation of the Yuan family in Runan, the rank of General Yuan Shao, is one of millions? Can a group of women be defeated?"
"You have to marry this little daughter of the Zhen family, and you have to marry her if you don't. If you really don't like it, just keep it at home. If you like to take a few concubines, you can take a few more rooms!"
Yuan Shao's tone was like an order: "If the Zhen family was not allowed to climb to the lintel of our Yuan family, how could they be willing to hand over the millions of stones of stored grain? With this stored grain, my father was enough to capture Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
By then... I will remember your great achievements, and my father even plans to give you this land in Youzhou."
Huo…
This is a joke, Yuan Xi must have eyes. He can get to Youzhou by marrying a vase. How can he make a fortune in this business?
"Master..."
"We have arrived in Wuji County, and the Zhen family is ahead!"
At this moment, Zhang He, outside the car window, spoke.
"Okay." Yuan Shao lifted the curtain of the carriage, he stood in the carriage, squinted at the plaque outside the Zhen family's door...
It doesn't matter if this looks...
But I found that under the plaque with the word "Zhen Mansion" written, Mrs. Zhang, servants, maids, and guards were all arranged on both sides and bowed to Yuan Shao.
This...is not surprising!
Yuan Shao has always been particular about pomp, and he has long been accustomed to the fact that all families are so respectful!
To be continued...
