Wanfu Wanshouyuan Jinjia is located in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi.
Even in the entire northern Ming Dynasty, it is considered a famous family.
Although this family may not be as good as the Zhu family, nor can it be compared with the Xuge family in Songjiang, the Gaoge family in Kaifeng, and the Zhangge family in Jiangling, it is entrenched in Jin Province and has been a wealthy family for generations. There are many generals and ministers in the family.
Of course, this is mainly due to the education of Mrs. Jin Tai, the head of the Jin family. Mrs. Jin Tai has a total of ten sons, nine daughters, eight sons-in-law, thirty-nine grandchildren, plus twenty-eight grandsons.
Some of her sons and sons-in-law are bodyguard leaders, some are chief catchers, some are gang leaders, and some are heads. It can be said that none of them are not top masters in the world.
Among them, there was only one who had given up martial arts and was a scholar, who had already become a golden horse and a top rank. There was also one who came from the military and was the mighty general with the most outstanding military achievements in the dynasty.
It can be said that the members of the Jin family are spread all over the court and the world, and their influence is intertwined. Compared with those families in Jiangnan who either run the court or focus on doing business, they are simply a behemoth. Except for the Xu family in Songjiang, no one can compare with the Jin family.
.
Of course, the Jin family is flourishing and has many branches. It has influence not only in Shanxi, but also in the capital, Jiubian, and the Central Plains.
"Definitely."
It was getting dark, and a carriage pulled by four horses drove into Pingyang Mansion and stopped at the entrance of Fugui Inn, the largest inn in the city.
Xue Pan stabilized the carriage, loosened the reins, turned to the carriage and said: "Master, the inn has arrived."
"Okay." Feng Zhou got off the carriage, looked up at the size of the inn, and nodded with satisfaction.
What he needs is an inn like this.
…
It was dark, but the lights in the Fugui Inn were brightly lit, making every corner of the inn as bright as day.
They don't care about the money for lamp oil and candles.
The name of this inn is definitely not unreasonable. Their prices are getting more and more expensive, so of course their boss is getting richer and richer, so it is called Fugui Inn.
How could such an inn care about such a small amount of money?
The best room in Fugui Inn is the "Fu" room. Feng Zhou stayed in this room that night, and his eldest disciple Xue Pan lived next door.
Although Xue Pan acted as a driver, Feng Zhou taught him truly advanced martial arts principles.
With Xue Pan's martial arts skills, his swordsmanship and moves are already outstanding enough. What he needs now is to improve his swordsmanship and the profundity of his internal strength.
So I need to be by Feng Zhou's side at all times and be guided by him.
But when nothing happens, it is best to meditate quietly and practice seriously, so that you can improve your realm as soon as possible.
Feng Zhou is the richest man in Jinling, so he never embarrasses himself when it comes to food and drink.
After the good food was brought into the room, he rewarded the young man with twenty taels of silver, and then asked him about the Jin family in Wanfu Wanshouyuan.
Almost every pedestrian who enters Pingyang Mansion will ask the waiter about the Jin family in Wanfu Wanshouyuan. However, there are not many uncles who can be rewarded with twelve taels.
Of course, the reason why Feng Zhou chose this inn was because he repeatedly confirmed that Fugui Inn did not have any shares of the Jin family. Perhaps the name was too vulgar and did not suit the Jin family's elegant appreciation.
"Your Majesty, you want to inquire about the Jin family?" The waiter was startled, then slapped his thigh and said, "The Jin family is the most wealthy family in Pingyang. Half of the land in Pingyang Mansion belongs to the Jin family of Wanfu Wanshouyuan, and the Jin family
Our old house is located near the center of the city. Gee, it occupies a vast area, even the three prefecture offices can’t compare to it.”
"Well, please explain in detail." Feng Zhou nodded.
The waiter carefully put the money into his pocket, opened his mouth and said, "The Jin family is called rich and domineering. When the ancestor of the family, Mrs. Jin, celebrates her birthday, even the Chief Minister of Shaanxi Province has to come to pay her respects, as well as the King of Jin and the King of Dai.
Send people here to find out who in the entire Pingyang Mansion, no, should be said in the entire Shanxi Province, does not support the Jin family as their ancestors. Even powerful officials, martial arts tycoons, bandits and robbers will not dare to mess with the Jin family. You know, Mrs. Jin
One son is a high official in the imperial court and will join the cabinet sooner or later, and the other is the most decorated general in the Nine Borders. Who dares to mess with such a family?"
"hehe!"
Feng Zhou blinked his eyes, and two gleams of cold light flashed through his eyes.
The waiter sighed: "By the way, the Jin family seems to be having a party recently. It should be to celebrate the birthday of the uncle of the Jin family. Isn't the guest a guest invited by the Jin family?
The great businessman of the Jin family is Mrs. Jin's eldest son. He sits in the Wanfu Wanshou Garden and presides over daily affairs. He has neither become an official nor entered the world, but his position in the bidding is very important.
After all, he is Mrs. Jin's eldest son and the future head of the Jin family.
Uncle Jin's birthday is naturally very grand. He gathers all the branches that can be gathered together to discuss the current major issues, and then eats and drinks, and invites some distinguished guests to attend. This is not only a time for the various branches to compete for interests, but also a time for everyone to interact with each other.
An opportunity to compare and show off.
A large family like the Jin family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has lush branches and branches. The grand annual meeting every year is estimated to be ten times grander than the grand meeting hosted by Feng Zhou in Jinling.
"That's right."
Feng Zhou was indifferent.
But the waiter immediately looked at him differently and showed a respectful attitude:
"Guest officers can join the Jin family at a young age. They are either born rich or noble, or they are famous heroes. You know, in Shanxi, those who can be invited by the Jin family are either a pastor or a military official.
Jianghu heroes. Even our Pucheng County magistrate doesn't know if we can go."
From Xiao Er's few words, we can see the wealth and wealth of the Jin family.
It is worthy of being a world-famous big family and a powerful one. Even Shi Guanyin, Jellyfish Yinji, and Xue Yiren dare not act rashly, because the Wanfu Wanshouyuan Jin family not only has cohesion, but also has radiating power, just like the Shaolin sect.
Shanxi's truly largest family is held in the palm of everyone's hands and worshiped, almost walking sideways.
"oh."
Feng Zhou raised his eyelids, not caring at all.
He even dared to kill the emperor of the Zhu family, so why was he afraid of a mere Jin family? He didn't kill directly, but killed all the Jin family members who were involved in the Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, and followed the clues to kill Mr. Bat as well, but
It's just because Feng Zhou has a big chess game to play.
From the second child's mouth, Feng Zhou learned about several major figures in the Jin family.
Wanfu Wanshou Garden has such a huge scale, mainly because the Jin family has been the representative of Shanxi merchants for generations and the head of the family. In the past, Mrs. Jin borrowed her husband's work and single-handedly pushed the family to the top.
Now that the old lady is old, the family business is controlled by Uncle Jin Jin Tianshu, but there are also shares in it from Mrs. Jin’s other sons, and they also have some say.
After sending away the waiter, Feng Zhou got a bowl of water and began to taste famous Shanxi dishes.
The greater the power of the Jin family, the better. In this way, after stepping on it, the greater the sense of accomplishment will be.
…
The next day was sunny and everything was fine.
Feng Zhou ignored Xue Pan, who was still practicing seriously. He walked with his arms and came to the gate of Wanfu Wanshou Garden alone.
Wanfu Wanshou Garden is located in the center of the city, occupying a large area. It has a vermilion gate and rows of stone lions. The interior is lush with greenery and has an antique flavor. In this rolling world, it feels like a paradise.
"What a great fortune, such a great courage, and such a great prestige."
