Chapter 649
"Aunt Cheng!"
Wu Tianbao didn't expect that he would meet the master outside the Cheng Clan Ancestral Hall so coincidental, so he hurriedly met him. Qiu Cheng's family was in their early sixties after all, and if Qiu Feng was adopted by her deceased son, Wu Tianbao's call him a good aunt was just right. Of course, Qiu Cheng's eyes were not as good as everyone else. When he recognized Wu Tianbao, he realized that the person who appeared here was the person he mentioned to him last time, and her shoulders suddenly trembled slightly. She tried to say hello to Wu Tianbao as calmly, but after coming to everyone, she asked without looking around.
"Since you have arrived outside the Cheng Clan Ancestral Hall, do you know where the Cheng Clan originates?"
Wang Fulin's heart moved and was about to answer, but seeing Qiu Feng's expression was nervous and complicated, as if he wanted to stop talking, he deliberately said, "Qiu Feng, come and answer."
This time, Qiu Cheng couldn't help but look over. She moved back to Sukou very early. Apart from visiting the graves for her husband and her dead son, she usually didn't interact with the people of the Qiu clan, so she had never seen Qiu Feng much before. At this time, she saw that Qiu Feng was a moderate-sized and handsome boy, and she couldn't help but feel a tingling pain in her heart, but she remembered her son.
Qiu Feng didn't expect to be named by Wang Fulin at once. He was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly sorted out his thoughts, and then said as calmly: "The various branches of the Cheng family in Huizhou Prefecture all originated from Cheng Pu, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty. Cheng Pu's descendant Cheng Yuantan assisted the King of Langya as the prefect of Xin'an during the Yongjia Rebellion. His descendants lived in Huangdun for generations and had been thriving here. By the time of Cheng Fu in the 17th, he assisted the Duke of Yue, Wang Hua, and after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed Sima of the General Administration. Later, the Cheng family of Huangdun had many ministers and high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty, and was once called the best among the Xin'an clan."
"In the Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, burned, killed, looted, and anyone with the place name Huang could be spared. Therefore, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Huangdun was always called Huangdun. It was not until the time of Cheng Minzheng that the name of Huangdun was changed back. In the court, two old men, Qiu Jun and Xie Qian, wrote poems and inscriptions in the name of Huangdun."
As a native of Huizhou, Wang Fulin is certainly familiar with the word "Huangdun". What's more, although Cheng Naixuan's family lives in Huangjiawu in Shexian City, he traces the roots to the source, but he also comes from the Cheng family in Huangdun, so he will not be confused. Huangdun is the center of the entire Huizhou clan culture. It is said that history can be traced back to 1,500 years ago. And it is not only the birthplace of the Cheng family in one prefecture and six counties in Huizhou, but also more than a dozen other surnames regard it as the birthplace. In the Yongjia Rebellion, the Huangchao Rebellion, and the Jingkang Rebellion, I don't know how many surrounding big families sneaked in, especially during the Huangchao Rebellion.
Even the Wang family and the late Tang Dynasty had many tribes moved to Huangdun for refuge, and they were moved back to their hometown after the passage was moved. However, Cheng asked strangely and Qiu Feng answered even more, which gave him some bad premonition.
Qiu Cheng did not expect Qiu Feng to talk and praised Cheng a lot. Her somewhat rigid face clearly eased. She nodded slightly and then continued: "Xin'an's ten surnames were 900, but when she compiled the Xin'an Ethnography, although the surnames were not distinguished between the front and back, Cheng's family was always the first. I am a widow, and I am just a clan of the Cheng family, and I have no intention of being proud of it. I ask about the origin of the Cheng family, and I just hope that the Qiu Gong, whom Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu, are those who can read and remember the origin of the famous families in Xin'an."
This clearly expresses some meaning. Hearing this, Wang Fulin couldn't help but frown, but before he could speak, Qiu Feng rushed to say, "Old lady, you need to drink water and remember the source of your origin, and you can't forget your ancestors. Of course I know this principle. But I know even more that blood is right than water, but true love in the world is more important than blood. Studying in Huizhou Prefecture has become a trend, so my family was poor in the past. I didn't expect to be admitted to school, so I could only use every opportunity to get to know a few words. Later, I learned a lot during the chores at Ziyang Academy, the Academy of the She County Academy. I saved money and took all my wages back home, and I almost didn't need a penny at home. Even if I was sold later, although I was unwilling to accept it, I didn't really resent my parents."
"But they shouldn't have taken my money to sell my body, but they still hope that I will use the convenience of my teacher to send them back more money. Even the teacher's enemies just gave them a few dollars, so they threatened me to spy on the news. Mencius said that if the king treats his ministers as brothers and feet, then the minister treats his king as a loyal heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats his king as a countryman; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats his king as an enemy. What about father and son? If the old lady is unwilling to do anything about what Mr. Wang and his uncle mentioned before, please don't force me. The teacher has worked hard, but he just doesn't want me to become the so-called money tree for his family. At worst, I will not take the exam for fame and fortune in the future and leave Huizhou Prefecture to study the world!"
"Qiu Feng."
Wang Fulin heard Qiu Feng's voice unknowingly. He knew that the boy was angry and shouted immediately. Seeing Qiu Feng shut up, lowered his head and stopped saying a word. He couldn't help but think of the old things he had before. At that time, Qiu Feng had just followed him, but because of his similar experience to Jin Bao, the result was different. So he was quite extreme and was once regarded as the biggest breakthrough point around him. He found the right kid as a breakthrough point once or twice, and took out a very big temptation. Fortunately, Qiu Feng finally held on at the critical moment, and did not make a wrong choice, and he has been more and more calm over the years.
But now it seems that calmness is for people to see, but I still can't hold back at the critical moment!
Therefore, seeing Qiu Cheng standing there silently, he was not optimistic about this verbal trip. Seeing Jin Bao quietly holding Ye Xiaopang, who was full of resentment, Xiaobei was whispering to Wu Tianbao. He said to Qiu Cheng gently: "Qiu Feng is young and speaks a little directly, but his words are not rough. When he goes to school, he is with my brother-in-law and adopted son. To be honest, I just don't want a young man to ruin his greedy family. I always think that the person who threatens by virtue of his kindness is not relatives or enemies. If the old lady really has an opinion on him abandoning his family, then let it go."
Qiu Feng also knew in his heart that this matter was done by Wang Daoyun and Wu Tianbao for him. When he thought that his affairs were going to be troubled by Wang Fulin's father and uncle, he was obviously having such twists and turns. So, if Wang Fulin stopped him and scolded him, he might feel better, but who would have thought that Wang Fulin would even say such words for him! At that moment, he felt his eyes sore and almost burst into tears.
When Qiu Cheng saw Wang Fulin bowing, he immediately called the others, as if he was about to go home, and she couldn't help but unexpectedly. At this time, Wu Tianbao couldn't help but stomp his feet and called others. He walked up to her and said, "Aunt Cheng, I know you have always been a dumb person. When I was in the Qiu family, I served my parents-in-law and my grandchildren, and returned to this suspicion. Your nephew and a few grandchildren respect you very much, but my brother-in-law and I made it clear to you about the cause and effect of those things. Why didn't you say it earlier if you don't want me to say it earlier? If it weren't for sincerity, why would my nephew all come out to recognize Qiu Feng?"
After Wu Tianbao said this, Qiu Cheng's face couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. She looked at the people on the opposite side carefully, and saw that in addition to the three or five men who were similar to the obedient men in the back, Qiu Feng was surrounded by two young men who were comforting him. It seemed that they should be the adopted son of the former Huining Daoye Ye family and Wang Fulin, and the young man beside Wang Fulin. Although it seemed to be a boy or a girl at first glance, it was clearly a woman, which means that the family was in full swing to recognize Qiu Feng. She was silent for a long time, and saw Wu Tianbao sighing and turning to leave, then she whispered: "I just heard that he is rich and forgot to marry..."
"I heard?"
Wang Fulin suddenly caught a sensitive word and turned around immediately. Wu Tianbao was reminded by his nephew and immediately asked: "Aunt Cheng. You can go to Shexian Town to inquire. Who can pick out half a word of Qiufeng's character and knowledge? What's more, his contract was paid by my nephew at the beginning, which was a little bit unpleasant. It didn't matter to his parents who were obviously not poor but wanted to sell his son. Why did he forget to kiss him? Can a student from an affiliated school have money? For his study, the Wang family paid in a lot of money, and whoever said it would become rich and powerful?"
Although Wu Tianbao was an honest man, the question that the honest man threw out like a cannon when he got up, was even more convincing. At least at this moment, Qiu Cheng became even more hesitant. At the end, he smiled bitterly: "It's the third old man of Wang in the Shuchuan family. He didn't know where to fight and heard that I wanted to establish a grandson, so he came here several times."
"So after a while, the old lady left a bad impression?" Wang Fulin's eyes flashed, and then he said as if nothing had happened, "But it's nothing. It's not sweet. Let's forget about this. Uncle, I'm going to talk to the people from Wang's family in Shuchuan. When we've come, we'll all go there and chat with a bowl of tea."
Qiu Cheng had no time to speak, so Wang Fulin pulled Wu Tianbao over, nodded and smiled politely at her, and then called her family and followers to go on the horse and leave. She only saw Qiu Feng, who was probably the grandson of her, boarded the horse, and looked back at her, then owed slightly, and then disappeared from her sight with the others.
It was not until everyone left that Qiu Cheng woke up like a dream, and suddenly supported the wall of the Cheng clan's ancestral hall, and felt infinite regret in her heart. She did not believe all the words of the third old man Wang, Shuchuan. She just wanted to test and not to make a grandson after all. When she died, her son would not even have a tomb to worship. But now, from the other person's attitude, it seemed that her cold and stiff behavior just now had made a good thing turn into a bad thing. Thinking of this, she immediately turned around and left.
Although the relatives of the husband's family were almost not good, the Cheng family was different. When the nephew of Qiu Cheng learned that his widowed aunt could not live with his husband's family, he returned to his hometown and forced him to live with him. He even asked the children in the family to respect the aunt. Therefore, as soon as Qiu Cheng returned home, he immediately found his nephew and explained in detail what had just met Wang Fulin and his party outside the Cheng family's ancestral hall. As a result, she saw that her nephew, who had always obeyed her, stomped her feet in anger.
"Auntie, how could you hear the third old man? The Wang family of Shuchuan and the Wang family of Songmingshan have a grudge? Don't you know? The Wang family of Shuchuan set up a trap for Mr. Wang again and again, but in the end they simply broke up and said that they cheated in the exam every year, but they missed their grandson. As a result, they were in a slump. This time, the Wang family of Shuchuan followed the Xue County Zun and yelled about the equal summer tax silk, which made the whole of Wuyuan in Xiuning. Instead, they retreated and wanted to throw Shuai Jiamo out as a scapegoat. Isn't it the situation that Mr. Wang came out to clean up? Qiu Feng's such a good child, you are really confused!"
Qiu Cheng wanted to speak but stopped: "I just felt that he didn't even recognize his parents..."
"What do you recognize him? His parents sold him at a high price, took the silver, and then re-branded his wife to the boss. That's all. Later, Mr. Wang returned his contract to sell his body. When he went back to visit his parents, he found that his family was building a house there. But he didn't know who had brought money to them in an impersonation. They took the money at least to see his son. They even asked directly and didn't ask whether the son was alive or not, whether it was sent by Mr. Wang's enemies, who wanted to coerce Qiu Feng to spy on the news. But later Qiu Feng said clearly that they didn't care about their money. It would be better not to have such parents and brothers!"
Qiu Cheng also heard Wang Daoyun and Wu Tianbao say similar words, but at that time, he was a little suspicious, so he was worried after listening to Wang Shangxuan's words. But his nephew also said so. How could she not know that her prejudice was a bit outrageous?
"There are all parents in the world, but it depends on what kind of parents they are... Okay, aunt, do you say they are going to the Wang family of Shuchuan? In this way, I will take you to see the clan leader, and we will go there too. If I meet Wang Shangxuan for me, I have to spit on him in person! Shukou Cheng family is not easy to bully. You can finally have a grandson who can support you, but they are disturbed. If he doesn't give an explanation to this matter, he will be waiting to be defeated!"
When the Qiu Cheng family was dragged to the head of the Cheng clan of the Cheng clan of the Suikou by his nephew, Wang Fulin and his group were not idle either. After leaving the Cheng clan's ancestral hall, Wang Fulin did not immediately go to the Wang family to raise an army to question him. After all, although Wang Fulin had fought with the Wang family several times a few years ago and finally won a great victory, it was the first time he went deep into the enemy camp. He reviewed the life experience of Wang Shangning in his heart. He touched his chin and finally suggested to others: "Everyone, it's better to go to a place before we go to the Wang family."
If he remembered correctly, Wang Shangning went to the Cheng family with his two younger brothers and remarried mother. It was also the stepfather Cheng Sixun who raised their three brothers. Therefore, they had always had the surname Cheng. Wang Shangning passed the Jinshi exam and then changed back to the surname Wang after he passed the imperial examination. Later, after asking for a gift for his biological father, he also asked for a gift for his surviving stepfather.
But compared to the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Revenue who Wang Shangning asked for his deceased father at that time, the stepfather Cheng Sixun, who had worked hard to raise him, was only granted a mere deputy from the seventh-rank pedestrian department. He calculated with his fingers and a total difference of six levels!
