Volume 48 Chapter 8

The atmosphere of the entire Zhang family's old house seemed to have taken on a new look after last night...

What happened in the old house last night shocked the children of the Zhang family too much. On the one hand, a family child emerged from the Jinwu Shipyard and was promoted to manage the family fund with billions of assets, which made people envious. On the one hand, the nine uncles Zhang Fan and Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang's three cousins ​​of the same generation in the mansion were "assigned" to Liaozhou before even finishing the old man's funeral, and they might not have come back for decades The two kinds of treatment, one heaven and one hell, instantly woke up the heads of all the children and relatives of the Zhang family, knowing that the Zhang family was no longer the same as before.

At the same time, what Zhang Tie said spread among the children of the Zhang family overnight.

The three words "teaching the rules" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Some people have already demonstrated what will happen if you don't behave at home.

For Zhang Fan and the few people who were thrown to Liaozhou, after the children of the Zhang family knew the whole story, many people were very shameless and applauded. Few of them really sympathized. What's the matter with those gift money? IQ is normal Everyone understands that the old man's business has not been finished yet. Since there are some people who want to jump out and encourage everyone to divide the money, such people are not deceived by lard, or think that the two brothers Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang Easy to talk, An dare to be so unscrupulous and shameless.

...

"Zhang Fan's wife and the mothers of Zhang Zhukang, Zhang Zhufang and Zhang Lide wanted to cry at home last night and wanted to see you, but my father held them down and asked someone to take them away from the old house and send People watched, the old man is not allowed to come out until the matter is finished. Zhang Zhukang and Zhang Zhufang are the two sons of the old man's second bedroom and fourth uncle, and Zhang Lide is the son of the third bedroom and fifth aunt. The fifth aunt did not marry far away. My family is also from Huaiyuantang, and my surname is Zhang, so I have always been very close to the old house..."

The next morning, before dawn, Zhang Tie got up before anyone came to express his condolences. In the room, while drinking the breakfast of porridge and pickles provided by the house, he listened to Zhang Su talking about last night. The family's handling of these things, while drinking porridge, nodded slightly.

Compared with Zhang Tie, Zhang Su drank porridge like drinking water. After finishing the porridge in the bowl twice, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and talked about family affairs with Zhang Tie.

In the past two days, because the house was dealing with the funeral of the old man, the whole family ate light smoke and light food, and the three meals a day were very simple, without any meat. On the 19th, the members of the Zhang family were not allowed to eat meat or eat meat. This is called "Xiao Zhai". There are two versions of "Xiao Zhai". In violation of the law of etiquette, "Xiaozhai" is respect for elders. There is another saying that "Xiaozhai" means abstaining from killing. During the "Xiaozhai" period, the rich and powerful families refrained from killing for forty-nine days because of the death of their elders, so that poultry, livestock, fish and shrimps were kept alive. countless,

This is also to accumulate blessings for the deceased elders, so that they can ascend to heaven as soon as possible.

"Zhang Fan, Zhang Zhukang, Zhang Zhufang, and Zhang Lide are already on their way. They are not allowed to get off the airship when they arrive in Liaozhou. For those who want to cry, just tell them that if they want to make trouble again, they will be killed. Throw it to Liaozhou to reunite their family, and they will be honest. The two wives of the second room and the third room of the old man didn't speak. One time, this unhealthy trend in the family should be shattered..."

Zhang Tie also finished drinking, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "I will set a rule for the family this time, first be a villain, and from now on, you have to take care of the affairs of the old house. , with this time, in the future, when you talk to your cousin, other people will not dare not to listen. This family used to be a little loose and made some jokes. In the future, there are still people who don't know how to behave, so you can just figure it out ..."

"I know!" Zhang Su took a deep breath and nodded.

...

Same as yesterday, at dawn today, the first person to express condolences came. The people who came were the Patriarch and two elders of the Sun family in Guide County, Youzhou. The Sun family did not have a flying boat. When they got the news, the Sun family The people of the family sat on the airship for a day and a night, and arrived at Jinguang City last night. In order to show their sincerity, the Sun family also waited outside the mansion early. The first mourning drum.

The gift money from the Sun family was 1 million gold coins.

After the members of the Sun family expressed their condolences, Zhang Tie and the head of the Sun family met with several elders, and after a few words, the members of the Sun family left contentedly.

After the Sun family, people of all kinds began to come to the door in an endless stream, and the mourning drum at the gate of the old house began to ring non-stop.

When it was close to noon, as the mourning drum outside the door sounded again, the long and winding voice of the Baishi Dianke at home also spread from the vestibule to the backyard of the old house.

Compared with the previous yell, this yell was much more powerful, almost like a roar.

"Yan Feiqing, the owner of the Xuannv Palace in Yunmeng Mountain, Wuzhou, Taixia, and Guo Hongyi, the head of the Guo family in Sanquan County, Youzhou, came to express their condolences..."

Hearing this voice, everyone in the Zhang family's old house was startled, and Zhang Tie, who was in the old man's mourning hall, was stunned for a moment, and then walked quickly towards the vestibule.

But soon, Zhang Tie saw Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi.

The two of them were dressed in plain white long dresses, and they were dressed very simply. Walking together, they looked like a pair of beautiful sisters, not like masters and apprentices. As soon as the two walked into Zhang's old house, It attracted the attention of countless people, whether it was the servants and relatives of the Zhang family in the old house, or the guests who came to express their condolences, they all silently paid attention to the two of them.

Yan Feiqing's expression was calm, but Guo Hongyi was a little shy at this moment. Seeing Zhang Tie approaching, Yan Feiqing smiled. Guo Hongyi glanced at Zhang Tie, but suddenly lowered his head, the roots of his ears and neck It was dyed a faint crimson color.

Seeing the two of them coming together, Zhang Tie was also relieved. He didn't know how their master and apprentice communicated during this time, but it seemed that the two of them would really be called sisters in front of him in the future.

"Coming?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Here we come!" Yan Feiqing answered.

"Then give some incense sticks to my grandfather!" Zhang Tie said, leading the way and leading the two to the mourning hall behind.

When they came to the mourning hall, the eyes of the juniors of the Zhang family who were thanking the gifts in the mourning hall and the old man's wives were all fixed on Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi. Yan Feiqing remained calm, while Guo Hongyi His face turned even redder.

"Wait a moment!" Zhang Tie said to Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi, and then ordered a steward in the mourning hall, "Go and get two hemp..."

Hearing Zhang Tie's order, the steward in the mourning hall was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted immediately. He rushed to the back as fast as he could, and brought two white hemp belts to Zhang Tie in the blink of an eye. .

While everyone was watching, Zhang Tie came to Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi with a hemp belt, each of them gave a hemp belt, "Tie it on..."

Wearing hemp belts around the waist on such occasions is the filial obedience of the granddaughter-in-law of the deceased. At this moment in the old house, those women wearing hemp belts around their waists are all wives and concubines of Zhang Tie's cousins. Zhang Tie took two hemp belts Take it, that means you have already regarded the two as daughters-in-law.

These two hemp belts, on this occasion, are more powerful than any rhetoric.

Yan Feiqing was the first to take the hemp belt and tied it around her waist. Seeing Yan Feiqing like this, Guo Hongyi also lowered her head, took the hemp belt from Zhang Tie's hand, and tied it around her waist obediently. superior.

As soon as the hemp belt was tied on, the people of the Zhang family in the mourning hall looked at the two women differently, and Zhang Tie was completely relieved. There are some things that are hard to say, but if they can become a fait accompli , then there is no need to scratch your head.

From now on, Guo Hongyi has officially become his woman. As for what kind of romantic reputation he will add to himself by accepting Yan Feiqing as his master and apprentice, will some moralists criticize him? Zhang Tie was concerned.

Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi kowtowed, kowtowed, and offered incense in the mourning hall. Everything was done according to the rules of granddaughter-in-law...

After paying homage to the old man, Zhang Tie introduced the wives of the old man in the mourning hall to Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi, and then took the two women to the back to find his mother and father, and let his father and father Mom met Guo Hongyi.

...

In the next few days, more and more people came to Jinguang City to express their condolences to Mr. Zhang Haitian, and their status became higher and higher. Representatives from Jinquandao, elders from Tianjimen, and people from Guangnan Palace came. , Governor Cheng Honglie came, and even King Xuanwu, King Jingtian, King Dingxi, and King Yi'an, who were strangers to Zhang Tiesu and who had never dealt with him before, all came and presented generous gifts.

Seeing so many wealthy and dignitaries in Taixia gather in Jinguang City because of the old man's affairs, the whole Zhang family, not to mention Zhang Tie's uncles and cousins, even the servants of the mansion have been beaten to death in the past few days In the same way, each of them showed their spirit of 120,000 points.

On the fifth day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to express his condolences. Not only did he present generous gifts, but he also decreed that Mr. Zhang Haitian be given the title of "Earl and Posthumous Nobility" so that he could enjoy the honor after his death.

The rule of the Black Iron Age is that only those who kill demons can be granted titles, but as the Taixia royal family, they have the right to confer and ratify a person with a "posthumous title" after death. The title of "posthumous title" cannot be inherited. It is the honor of the deceased.

Because of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie's father was granted the title of "Lord", and Zhang Tie's grandfather was also ratified as a "posthumous title" of an earl. Throughout Taixia, everyone knew how much His Highness the Crown Prince liked Zhang Tie.
