Fei Qian stood in front of Fei Min's house, and couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
I remember that at that time, because I couldn't deal with trivial matters, I had to trade the books my father left behind in exchange for some freedom.
This is the rule of a noble family.
It’s not that no one has tried to cross it for hundreds of years, but those who have tried to cross it have been killed by these established rules.
Will it be an accident for the Heluofei family?
Fei Qian doesn't know.
Fei Qian just knows that among many competitors, it is often not that easy for someone to become the head of the family...
In the Han Dynasty, unless the family head's direct descendants were unhappy, there was really no choice. Most family heads would let their children inherit their position as head of the family.
Of course, this kind of inheritance is also based on so-called fair competition, and everyone knows what this so-called competition is.
Most of the time, the head of the family has already monopolized some knowledge through various means. As the children of the head of the family, they can have more opportunities and more resources. Unless they are really committing suicide, they will become the head of the next generation and become the head of the next generation.
It's not something too difficult.
In fact, the prototype of an aristocratic family existed as far back as the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
At that time, Emperors Yan and Huang were only leaders in name, but when encountering some major events, they still needed to summon the leaders of other affiliated tribes to come to the alliance to discuss world affairs. Powerful families that came from tribal alliances rose and fell.
There have been ups and downs, but the pattern of aristocratic families and emperors co-ruling the world has always been the mainstream and continues to this day.
Fei Qian threw his name at the concierge and waited quietly as the concierge laughed.
The concierge is the person with the most poisonous eyes. The last time Fei Qian brought Uncle Fu, if it weren't for the sake of the five baht, Fei Min's concierge would have ignored him. But this time, Fei Min's concierge would have ignored him.
Qian didn't take out a penny, but the concierge smiled like a flower.
Everyone has their own way of survival.
Just like the various classes in society in the Han Dynasty today, people from each class are playing their own roles.
It can be said that the Han Dynasty was divided into four classes.
First of all, of course, it was the royal family, that is, the central government represented by the Liu family. Their appeal was to weaken the clan and consolidate the family and the world, so as to maintain the Liu family's rule for thousands of years. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the phenomenon of relatives and eunuchs taking turns in power continued to appear.
Next are aristocratic families and emerging gentry. The main political needs of these people are land and population. At this point, the goals of aristocratic families and gentry are the same, so to a certain extent they will join forces to fight against the imperial power and maintain their own status. However,
There is also fierce competition among each other.
Because the economic basis of the aristocratic gentry is to "occupy mountains and protect swamps", they annex a large amount of land to run their own manor economy. The objects of their annexation are homesteaders, and homesteaders are the economic base of the central royal family. Government taxes and military service are all
The farmers need to bear the burden, which makes the manor economy of the wealthy families and the economic income of the central government completely conflict with each other. Therefore, the aristocratic families are actually growing stronger by drinking the blood of the royal family.
The third level of people are small-scale tycoons, also known as humble scholars. Small tycoons have more local characteristics. Unlike the aristocratic gentry, which is a combination of big bureaucrats and big families, they do not have high demands for power, and their demands are more pragmatic. They hope to have "
"A Mingjun" can protect the country and the people, prevent his family from being invaded by bandits such as the Yellow Turbans, and be a stable local rich man.
The appeal of the Hanshi, that is, the small landowners, is to break through the monopoly of the officialdom by the gentry and get the opportunity to achieve great achievements. Today's promotion of filial piety and integrity is nominally to select the wise men in the state and county, but in fact it has been monopolized by the gentry, and the family background is almost different.
Kind of despised.
Because the elites who were born as small landowners have no way out and their upward path is blocked, they are eager for opportunities and want to be successful.
As for the most basic civilians, homesteaders, these people have only one most important need, which is stability, food to eat, and clothing to wear.
And now Fei Qian himself feels that he seems to be in the middle between the Hanshi and the gentry. It is somewhat reasonable to say that he is a gentry. After all, marrying the Huang family in Jingxiang is no longer a Hanshi; but to say that he is a gentry, he cannot talk about it.
Because he himself is still a descendant of the Heluofei family, and the head of the Fei family is still Fei Min.
Feimin was still wearing a brocade robe, with a three-stroke beard, a square face, and a chubby figure, but this time he obviously had a lot more smiles than last time.
Fei Min stood in front of the hall. When he saw Fei Qian coming with the housekeeper, he took two steps forward and said with a smile: "My nephew Ziyuan, are you okay?"
Fei Qian stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute, saying: "Greetings to my uncle! I haven't seen you for a long time, but my uncle is even more charming than he was the night before!"
Fei Min laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to signal, and asked Fei Qian to go into the hall and take a seat. Fei Qian naturally respectfully asked Fei Min to go first, and Fei Min made a slight gesture, then took the lead in entering the hall and sat in the middle.
When Fei Qian sat down, Fei Min ordered tea to be served, and asked Fei Qian with a smile about some of the things he had experienced in Jingxiang...
Fei Qian picked up some and talked to Fei Min. He also apologized to Fei Min and said: "Because the marriage was unexpected, I failed to inform the family head in time. It is Qian's fault. I hope my uncle Haihan will forgive me."
Fei Min raised his head and laughed twice, squinting his eyes and brushing his beard, and said: "In the past, Yun once said that he wanted to find a good wife for you, but Zi Yun went west first... Now Zi Yuan marries Huang, but it's not
I also deserve what Zi Yun said."
Speaking of this, Fei Min still had some unexplainable feelings in his heart. Originally, he thought that Fei Qian's family was not prosperous and his family was about to fall into ruin, so he calculated that he was still a young official at the time.
He found the collection of books left in Fei Qian's home, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Fei Qian would actually fall in love with Cai Yong and be accepted as a disciple by Cai Yong and Liu Hong. His status would suddenly rise a lot...
In desperation, Fei Min thought of choosing one of the girls in the family to marry Fei Qian, but before the plan was launched, Fei Qian ran to Jingxiang and married the only daughter of the Huang family in Jingxiang.
No matter from which perspective, Fei Qian has gotten rid of the original situation of weak manpower and has become a role with a certain weight in the Fei family.
In fact, Fei Qian did not inform Fei Min in advance before getting married, which was a bit unethical. However, after all, Fei Qian and Fei Min were separated from each other, and Pang Degong, the number one cultural leader in Jingxiang, acted as matchmaker, so Fei Min's original importance was replaced.
Now that Fei Qian has brought this matter up publicly, it is also a kind of test for Fei Min...
