Volume 1 Chapter 15 Gentry and Military Accountants

Yang Cong didn't know that Chen Wenjie ran to the sea to invite the real Japanese, but he knew when Chen Wenjie took action, because Chen Wenjie quickly replied to his second uncle Yang Yun.

Chen Wenjie did not directly say in the letter that he was going to kill someone, but the content in his letter made people see what he wanted to do at a glance.

In his letter, he not only asked Yang Yun to provide a sketch of the Yang family, but also told Yang Yun that he would find an excuse to go out for two days on the 15th of next month and not stay in the Yang Mansion.

This is very obvious. He will take action on the fifteenth next month, and his main targets are Yang Cong and the old man Yang Rong.

This guy is so vicious!

He wanted to kill himself and his grandfather, and then use his second uncle to embezzle the assets of the Yang family!

Fortunately, although Chen Wenjie is vicious, his mind is very ordinary. He knows that he is very harsh and can't play any advanced strategies.

Since Chen Wenjie decided to take action, Yang Cong naturally would not sit and wait for someone to come to the house. It seems that the "Four Books, Chapters, and Notes" cannot be read quietly.

He started to make arrangements after receiving the news. The next morning, he took Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan and a group of guards out. He planned to go to Yu Dayou's house to see the situation first, and then go to Yongning Acropolis to find Li Xixian for help.

Unexpectedly, when he ran to Yu Dayou's house, his house not only did not have the festive atmosphere as he imagined, but instead was filled with sorrow!

Yu Dayou frowned and said nothing, and Yang was even more frowning and sighed.

What's going on?

Yang Cong tried to persuade him and asked for a long time before he learned from Yang that it turned out that Yu Dayou had a problem with his blind date.

The family Yang found was the famous gentry Zhao family in Jinjiang. Originally, Yu Dayou went on a blind date, but the Zhao girl met this strong and honest man at first sight. However, Zhao Kun, the master of the Zhao family, also known as the girl's father, asked Yu Dayou to marry into her family!

This guy is not a good thing to marry into this guy. For people these days, getting married into a married woman is basically unacceptable, because having a son after getting married into a married woman is equivalent to being from the woman's family and cannot pass on the family line for the man's family. For a family like Yu Dayou, getting married into a married woman is equivalent to having a son and a grandson!

As the saying goes, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and there is no descendant." Without descendants, the greatest unfilial piety is to be the greatest. That is to be sorry for the ancestors, let alone the death of the descendants.

These days, we value family inheritance the most. If you can’t give birth to yourself, you can find a way to inherit one and continue the incense. There is no hope of getting married.

Of course, Yang could not let her son marry into the family, but she was reluctant to let this marriage, because the Zhao family was a famous squire in Jinjiang. If she could marry the Zhao family's daughter back, it would be a glorious family.

As for Yu Dayou, he had no feelings for the Zhao girl and was even more interested in this marriage. If Yang hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to Hui'an to study with Yang Cong.

When Yang Cong saw this situation, he couldn't let go. In addition, Yang's repeated begging, he simply ordered someone to invite Shi Zhixuan, the government's inspector. That afternoon, he went to the Zhao family with Shi Zhixuan to lobby.

The Zhao family is indeed a famous gentry in Jinjiang. There are thousands of acres of arable land under the name of his family. Several scholars have appeared among the family's children. Moreover, the head master Zhao Kun is also an old juren, and everyone knows it in Jinjiang.

Originally, the Yang family did not dare to climb up such high-level branches. Although the Yu family was hereditary family, the Yu family was getting worse day by day after Yu Dayou's father passed away. Moreover, because Yu Dayou went to participate in the hospital and provincial examinations, her family still owed dozens of taels of debt. In that case, how could he be qualified to marry a famous gentry like the Zhao family?

However, over the past year, the Yu family has been in operation. Because Yu Dayou made a "friend" with Yang Cong, Yang Cong, directly invited Yu Dayou at a sky-high price of 100 taels of silver per month. In the past year, it was more than 1,000 taels!

Now Yang has renovated the Yu family courtyard and purchased more than 30 acres of land to hire people to plant it. Anyway, Yu Dayou has a scholarly reputation, so there is no need to pay taxes on this land. The hard work paid for people is paid, so the family can be considered as having no worries about food and drink.

Yang thought that it was wrong to have her family in Jinjiang. As soon as the matchmaker instigated her, she thought about marrying the famous gentry Zhao family and bringing honor to the ancestors.

Unexpectedly, the gentry Zhao Kun made a request to let Yu Dayou marry into his family. Everything else is easy to say, but it is absolutely impossible to marry into his family. The Yang family dared not let the Yu family lose their sons and grandchildren.

Yang Cong also knew that it was absolutely impossible to marry into a married woman, so he invited Shi Zhixuan to help lobby, hoping that the Zhao family could change their words and marry the girl to the Yu family.

Although Zhao Kun is a famous gentry in Jinjiang, he is far from that of Shi Zhixuan, a gentry in the capital. When he heard Shi Zhixuan’s visit, he hurried to the gate to greet him. As for Yang Cong, he thought he was Shi Zhixuan’s son and nephew.

He diligently welcomed Shi Zhixuan and Yang Cong into the lobby of the main house, and ordered someone to go to Xiangming, and then asked politely: "Mr. Shi is here to visit the humble house, don't know what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhixuan glanced at Yang Cong secretly, and then said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I am talking about the matchmaker."

When Zhao Kun heard this, his eyes lit up. The Shi Family, Quanzhou Prefecture City, is the most famous gentry in Quanzhou Prefecture. If he can marry the Shi Family, it would be amazing. Even if he married Shi Zhixuan's relatives and friends, it would be of great benefit to the Zhao Family.

He also glanced at Yang Cong secretly, then smiled and said, "Oh, I wonder which media member Mr. Shi is talking about?"

He thought Yang Cong was brought to the blind date by Shi Zhixuan. This young man is really handsome and gentle. In addition, Shi Zhixuan's relationship, it's no problem to get married!

Unexpectedly, Shi Zhixuan still said embarrassedly: "I am talking about the Yu family in Guizhou. A few days ago, the boy from the Yu family came to the palace for a blind date. I heard that Ling Er was quite satisfied with him. Why didn't Brother Zhao marry his daughter? Yu Cheng's good thing?"

When the Yu family in this county heard about this title, Zhao Kun's face instantly collapsed. If it weren't for Shi Zhixuan's face, he would have been furious.

He suppressed his anger and said lightly: "Mr. Shi, you should also know that the Yu family is a military household, with no money or power, and a humble family background. If the court summons him and the boy of the Yu family accidentally dies on the battlefield, wouldn't my poor daughter be a widow?"

Shi Zhixuan was stunned when he heard this, and Yang Cong also frowned.

Zhao Kun did not mean to recruit a son-in-law. He clearly disagrees with this marriage!

Shi Zhixuan was stunned for a while before trying to persuade him: "The Yu family is only a hundred hereditary households and has no actual positions. It is probably not his turn to recruit the court. Brother Zhao, why don't you consider it?"

Zhao Kun shook his head slowly and said, "Isn't this afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of what if I want it? I can't take this risk. If I am not careful, my daughter will become a widow."

This old man is a little stubborn.

Shi Zhixuan could only try his best to persuade him: "I heard that this boy from the Yu family already has the reputation of scholars. As long as he works harder, he is taking the exam for a juren and seeking an official position, the court will definitely not recruit him. Brother Zhao, why don't you consider it? Such a talent is not easy to find."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kun shook his head and said, "Is this juren so easy to take the exam? If he can really get the exam, of course there is no problem. Isn't he not getting the exam yet?"

Shi Zhixuan could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade: "This Juren is indeed not so easy to take the exam. Why don't you do the marriage first and then let the Yu family boy study hard and pass the exam, so that it will save them from delaying the young people, right?"

Zhao Kun still shook his head firmly and said, "Mr. Shi, please forgive me for not agreeing to this. If he can pass the imperial examination, then everything is easy to say. If he fails the examination, then there is no need to say. You are also an official and gentry. Are you willing to marry your daughter to a low-born military household?"

This is a bit rude.

Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Don't I have no daughter?"

Sani Nai Ji Ji, you can say nothing about it without a daughter!

Zhao Kun cursed in his heart, then picked up the teacup at his hand without hesitation and blew it.

This means serving tea and sending guests!

Why is this old guy so bad temper? Shi Zhixuan was stunned on the spot.

Yang Cong felt even more angry. Are you? Who do you think you are? The troubled times are coming, and you still look down on the military households. When the Japanese pirates come, you will be the lamb to be slaughtered!

He couldn't help but say coldly: "Mr. Zhao, I advise you to think about it carefully. Yu Dayou is one of the few talented people in the world, both civil and military, and has a steady work experience. He will definitely become a great man in the future. If you think clearly, you will not have this store after passing this village."

You are not polite about this.

Zhao Kun glanced at Yang Cong contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Who are you?"

Yang Cong replied coldly: "I don't know how to Hui'an Yang's family, Yang Cong."

Are you who is the onion? Zhao Kun also said coldly: "I don't know what the Hui'an Yang family is, and I don't know what kind of person you, Yang Cong, are. However, I would like to advise you to be polite in life."

I'm talking about your politeness. Yang Cong directly winked at Shi Zhixuan, then stood up and stared at Zhao Kun and said coldly: "You don't know me, right? OK, remember, in the future, even if you kneel in front of me and call me grandpa, I won't know you."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and turned around and left, making Zhao Kun so angry that he glared at him, pointing at his back for a long time and couldn't speak.

Shi Zhixuan was so embarrassed that he hurriedly chased after him, pulled Yang Cong's sleeve and whispered: "Nephew, let's not get through this marriage, why bother to be angry with others?"

Yang Cong snorted coldly: "This old guy is really a big deal. Who does he think he is? Is the gentry so great? Is the military household so lowly that it can't be seen by everyone? He looks down on Brother Zhifu just because he looks down on me. His attitude is good if I don't beat him up, what's the matter!"
