Prestige and fame have reached their level because they have achieved their own temples, not temples.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Here we are!"
Moments later, at the end of the township road, Aunt Zhu suddenly stopped.
"Is this Zhujiazhuang?"
Looking down at Aunt Zhu’s eyes, I saw the houses in twos and threes standing on the edge of the mountain forest, and the rough fence separated me from the outside world.
And in the center of these houses is an ancestral temple built for ancestor worship.
That’s Zhujiazhu Temple, and it’s also the common ancestral temple of all people in Zhujiazhuang.
"It’s not small to be able to gather so many families with the same surname in just one year!"
If it hadn’t been learned from Aunt Zhu in advance that there were more than ten people fleeing from Zhu’s family in the end.
Wende can hardly imagine that there are at least more than one hundred families in Zhujiazhuang, which was established in the last year.
Especially those newly reclaimed fields, even with Pei Wende’s farm tools and canal design drawings, it is not easy to complete in just one year.
Glancing at Pei Wende, I knew what Zhujiazhuang dared to entrust himself to be the first farmer to correct tea seedlings.
Because those cultivated fields have already gone beyond the scope of "self-sufficiency", more than 100 families have been nourished and lived.
"Zhao Yanwei was, after all, a second place. Although the official career was not smooth, it was more than enough to manage a small Zhujiazhuang."
Zhao Yanwei was the son-in-law of Master Zhu and Aunt Zhu, and it was a coincidence that she became her sister-Zhu Run’s husband.
And since master Zhu was seriously ill, everything in Zhujiajian has been handed over to Zhao Yanwei, the son-in-law to take care of.
"You hate Zhao Yanwei?"
Keenly recognized the disgust Pei Wende in Aunt Zhu’s words and glanced at her with some surprise.
The reason why the other party chose the wedding night to escape marriage seems to be not as simple as he imagined?
Pei Wende, the former aunt Zhu, was dissatisfied with Master Zhu’s decision to let her choose her husband.
However, judging from Aunt Zhu’s present attitude, she is not satisfied with Master Zhu’s independence, but with her choice of this husband.
"Zhao Yanwei was a real dude before his family came down."
"Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling is nothing but notoriety, and Runzhou is one of the best in the whole country."
"My dad took a fancy to his notoriety in those days and thought Runzhou City also had it. He would not abandon me to dance with knives and stick it before he specially recruited him as a son-in-law."
If you were aunt Zhu at the age of 16 or 17, she must have understood Master Zhu’s practice.
But times have changed, and now more than ten years have passed. Aunt Zhu is already white, and Zhao Yanwei was indeed the best choice for herself.
First of all, although the Zhao family has come down in the world, they still have an identity there after all.
Zhu Jia and Zhao Jia may say that they are not strong, but they are just right for both sides.
Secondly, Zhao Yanwei is willing to adopt a wife by adoption and does not abandon his daughter-in-law to dance with knives and guns, which is not a good family style at all.
In fact, the old Zhao family took a fancy to Aunt Zhu’s strong feeling that she could take care of her son and stop getting into bad habits before agreeing to adopt her son in law.
The most important point is that Zhao Yanwei became angry after his family came down, and he won the second place in that year, which is a potential stock in Master Zhu’s eyes.
"It’s fate that you don’t regret it yourself."
A little comfort to Aunt Zhu, Pei Wende asked another question that he was very curious about.
"You said earlier that Zhao Yanwei was the second in that year. Does he have an official position now?"
According to the normal situation, the second place is the second place in the imperial examination, second only to the champion of that year.
Therefore, even if Zhao Yanwei’s official career is not smooth, it is impossible that he has not been reduced to this point.
"I don’t know exactly what happened …"
"I heard that he was involved in a’ substitute test case’ and was eventually stripped of his fame by the court and retained his status as a scholar."
Gently shook his head, aunt Zhu is not full of malicious speculation
"Maybe his second place was found by others who took the exam, and then he was disqualified!"
Chapter 14 Weird Zhu Family
[Will the truth be like this? 】
I couldn’t help but look at Aunt Zhu, who was full of prejudice. Pei Wende didn’t continue to ask questions.
After all, Aunt Zhu’s current mentality, even if she continues to ask questions, must be negative news from Zhao Yanwei.
Anyway, Pei Wende denied that things would be like what she said.
After all, no matter which dynasty or generation, they attach great importance to cheating in the imperial examination.
If Zhao Yanwei’s second place is really won by others, the ending will definitely not be as simple as getting rid of his fame and keeping his status as a scholar.
"Five aunts?"
I have to say that Zhao Yanwei’s management of Zhujiazhuang is in place.
Almost before Pei Wende and Aunt Zhu stepped into Zhujiazhuang, a young boy of thirteen or four years old appeared in front of them.
"Aunt Wu, where did you go today?"
"I’ve been looking for you all day, but I haven’t found you."
"And today, my uncle’s cooking is terrible. You didn’t cook well at all!"
It’s not someone else’s official Zhao Yanwei and Zhu Runer’s younger brother Zhu Huaigu.
Compared with his own parents, he is more dependent on Aunt Zhu, and he speaks with a little coquetry.
Pei Wende has no doubt that Zhu Huaigu is Aunt Zhu’s own son if she didn’t know her identity in advance.
"Aunt went to Jinshan Temple today and delayed the meal."
Apologizing, she rubbed her little face, Zhu Huaigu. As she spoke, Aunt Zhu turned her attention to Pei Wende around her.
"This is a monk from Jinshan Temple, a great aunt, who specially invited guests from Jinshan."
Smell speech people imp big Zhu Huaigu suddenly turn a eyeball sound also deliberately smaller.
"Did he come for his sister?"
Looking at Zhu Huaigu, he made no secret of questioning Pei Wende and could not help but stir up an eyebrow.
Because he suddenly found that Aunt Zhu’s self-concealment of her identity did not seem as tight as she thought.
Nowadays, 13-and 14-year-olds have learned a lot about what they should know.
Especially Zhu Huaigu, who was born in a wealthy family and lost only two years ago.
He would be so close to his own cook that he didn’t shy away from suspicion. It’s incredible to think about it.
But from another angle, it would be understandable if Zhu Yiniang and Zhu Huaigu knew the identity of Aunt Zhu long ago, which was far beyond the intimacy of the master and servant.
It can be said that Zhu Huaigu is still a little young after all.
Although he knows how to help aunt Zhu hide her identity, all kinds of actions have exposed her mind and thoughts.
Pei Wende’s only curiosity now is whether the whole Zhujiajian family has Zhu Yiniang and Zhu Huaigu know the identity of Aunt Zhu or whether everyone knows the identity of Aunt Zhu.
Although the latter is more likely from the current situation.
[This can also explain all kinds of loopholes in Aunt Zhu’s previous remarks]
A large family played house with Aunt Zhu and pretended not to know her identity and ability.
