I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Wan died of illness at a young age, which was the biggest pain in her father-in-law and mother-in-law's hearts.

Zhen Su changed her clothes and took Chunyue to find Su Jingzhai.

Su Qinnan saw that she really went to the front yard.

At this moment, the female guest was in the backyard and heard Su Qinnan's crying at night, which woke up Changle, Zhou Yiqing and Shouning.

Shouning asked her maid to inquire.

Zhou Yiqing was not curious. Every family has its own problems, so he didn't want to pay attention.

Changle called Shijian over and said, "Go and find out what happened."

Su Qinnan's crying sounded too angry and desperate, it must be a big deal.

The spring moon calls for the gate of Xiuxin Temple to be opened.

The one who opened the door was the old servant beside Su Jingzhai, "What's the matter, Princess?"

Zhen Su said, "Please tell Uncle Su that I have something important to discuss with you."

"Princess, please wait a moment."

The old servant turned and went into the inner room, standing outside the curtain, "Sir, the princess wants to see you for something important!"

"Let her wait in the side hall."

"Yes."

Xiuxinyuan is a small courtyard with two entrances, divided into a front courtyard and a sleeping courtyard. The front courtyard is used to receive visiting officials and male guests.

The night watch girl served tea and left the side hall.

Zhen Su and Chunyue were waiting outside in the flower hall.

"Grandfather, is it your idea or your uncle's idea to let my seventh sister go to the eldest branch of the Su family in Jiangnan to be taught by the clan leader's wife?"

Today, Zhen Su talked about Su Qinnan's story. Su Jingzhai and his son realized that Su Qinnan had grown up astray and would sell out her family for a little profit. This was the case with Su Qi back then.

After Su Wan passed away, Xiao Xie never forgave Su Qi for betraying her own sister in order to benefit her husband's family.

Su Jingzhai said: "That's what I meant. The Sect Master's wife is the daughter of the famous Yao family..."

On the roof, Shi Jian and a male guard carefully removed the glazed tiles.

"The Yao family of Fuzhou produced Yao Bingli, one of the top two candidates in the imperial examinations at the end of the previous dynasty. When the Great Qi Dynasty was established, Yao Bingli offered his beautiful sister, who was already engaged, as a beauty to Emperor Taizu in order to keep his position.

After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he awarded the first batch of 360 beauties from all over the country as concubines to founding heroes and princes.

The girl from the Yao family was very lucky and became the first concubine of the first generation of Zhuguogong.

The fifth master of the Wang family, the pillar of the capital, was born to this lady from the Yao family.

"A family like the Yao family, if we say it is a famous family, is it really worthy of the word 'famous family'?"

The Yao family only started to prosper in the last years of the previous dynasty, when a tyrant emperor was in power and politics was corrupt. The chances of the Yao family's ancestor passing the imperial examination based on his own abilities were slim, and it was more likely that he got the rank by bribing the examiners.

Looking up ancient books, there was once a number one scholar who was illiterate and bought fame and fortune for himself with a large sum of money.

Su Jingzhai was surprised, "How do you know the history of the Yao family?"

Zhen Su looked embarrassed.

Su Jingzhai's eyes were burning, he was waiting for Zhen Su's answer.

Zhen Su said: "Grandfather, I am a member of the Beggars' Sect in Jianghu."

what?

The male and female guards on the roof were extremely surprised, and Su Jingzhai was also shocked at this moment.

"You...are a member of the underworld..."

The fact that she was the Supervisory Envoy of the Phoenix Department had to be kept secret, and the only people who knew about it were Chunfeng and Chunyu. The two girls were born with ordinary looks, which helped to conceal their identities better.

"Grandfather wants to send Seventh Sister to the Su family in Jiangnan. This is absolutely not allowed."

Su Jingzhai asked: "Is there something wrong with the Jiangnan lineage?"

"That's very wrong. Grandfather, won't you forget the demise of the Liu family in Luoyang a few months ago?"

The Liu family of Luoyang is a prominent family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It was a well-known family in the previous dynasty. After going through the end of the previous dynasty and entering the Great Qi period, even when the world was at war, it still stood proudly in Luoyang.

Su Jingzhai said: "You mean the imperial court... the imperial court..."

"Grandfather, I have warned Su Mo that the Su family should be restrained. The world belongs to everyone in the world, not just one family.

The troubles caused by the aristocratic families in the previous dynasty brought disaster to the world and the people, and undermined the imperial power. The three generations of emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty, from Taizu and Gaozu to the present emperor, had long been aware of the disasters caused by the aristocratic families.

The disaster of the Liu family was that the Luoyang Liu family was the main lineage, but it controlled 42 branches of the Liu family, big and small, all over the world. Whenever the leader of the main lineage waved his arm, the Liu clan members from all over the world would respond.

The Liu family is like this? The Jiangnan Su family is also like this. Although the Su family does not control as many branches as the Liu family, my grandfather believes that under the imperial power, the royal family really wants to see the scourge of the aristocratic families continue to exist. "

The downfall of the Liu family in Luoyang was due to a serious taboo.

Several members of the Liu clan who were most valued by the direct lineage were also implicated after the fall of the Liu clan in Luoyang, but the charges they received varied in severity.

Su Jingzhai said: "Wen Jiang, no, this is absolutely not allowed, the Jiangnan Su family..."

"Grandfather, since they have done something taboo, they must bear the consequences of their actions. Wen Jiang will try her best to protect grandfather and uncle's family. As for others, I can only hint and guide them. I don't have such great ability to let me save people."

"They are your maternal grandfather's people. We prosper together and suffer together."

This is the idea that all children raised in aristocratic families have.

"For hundreds of years, it was the direct branch that prospered, while the side branches and the concubine branches suffered. Whenever a capable official, a capable official, or a great figure appeared in any side branch or concubine branch, the direct branch would persuade them, or perhaps offer them huge benefits, to work for the family, but in the end, only the direct branch would benefit.

In the eighth year of Emperor Taizu's Kaiyuan reign, Su Long of the Su clan in Bashu embezzled 128,000 taels of silver in Qianzhou. Su Long and his son were executed by beheading, and his family and descendants were demoted to the status of five-generation criminals and exiled to Yazhou.

One hundred and twenty-eight thousand taels of silver. If the direct lineage wanted to rescue the person, they could just pay back the silver. It would only be a few days' income for them, but they didn't do it."

If something fails to benefit the family, the people of the direct branch will stand idly by.

When a big shot or a capable person appears, they will go to his house and try to get close to him.

Before Zhen Su died of illness in her previous life, she only knew that her grandfather and uncle were in Yueyang Prefecture. She didn't know which prince ascended the throne, but in the 23rd year of Dezhi, Emperor Dezhi named the second prince as the crown prince.

"If you look at the present, it's the rise and fall of a family; if you look at a few miles, it's the rise and fall of a clan; if you look at the world, it's the rise and fall of a country. The disaster of aristocratic families and powerful families has been a threat since the previous dynasty. My grandfather was an official all his life. He should have worried about the world before he worried about himself, and enjoyed the world after he enjoyed himself."

A girl could still say such profound truths, but he lived to be fifty or sixty years old, but he had never thought through these words.

Since he took office as the Grand Commander of Hunan Province, he has always wanted to promote the younger generations of his family.

Those who have been promoted in recent years are all descendants of the Jiangnan Su family.

He is from the Su family in the capital. Since he is a branch of the clan, he should live a good life as a descendant of his own lineage.

"If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself. In the Su family of Beijing, my eldest uncle and second uncle separated from my maternal grandfather in their early years, but there are several cousins ​​in the first and second branches of the Su family. Although I don't expect all the grandchildren of the two branches to be outstanding, there must be someone to support the family.

Grandfather, your two uncles have already turned away from you. Do you want your two cousins ​​to turn away from your uncle and Wulang?

People who are alienated from each other usually have no blood ties with each other, and do not expect help from each other, but only hope that they will not add insult to injury at a critical moment. "
