The eldest man Hehe noticed that the number of invitations to invite him to have drinks has increased sharply in recent times.
Everyone knew the reasons, but he had no intention of going there one by one. He was only willing to go there after being invited by a few relatives.
However, what depressed him was that it was actually a banquet to establish good relationships and it was not that easy to mix up.
No, at the family banquet hosted by the Shuanghous of the Shi family, the eldest man looked at his two cousins speechlessly and said angrily: "Stop drinking, you two can't even think of drinking from me even if you drink your stomachs to pieces. What's the matter?"
To put it bluntly, if I can help, I will definitely help, and if I can’t help, don’t complain!”
By the way, it's enough for the two princes of the Shi family. They poured wine on them as soon as they came up, as if they wanted to make the eldest master drunk before talking, so that it wouldn't be embarrassing?
Go ahead and dream!
The old man moved Qi and blood easily, and even speeding up the flow of Qi and blood was a trivial matter.
No matter how much you drink, as long as you speed up the flow of qi and blood, you can dissolve the alcohol in a short time. Apart from filling your stomach with liquid, what else can it do?
On the contrary, the two princes of the Shi family took turns to drink so hard that they were so confused that their brains were not very clear.
"Hou Enhou, we brothers are suffering. We have been stuck in the military headquarters and can't move. We don't know when we will be able to get through it!"
Shi Er took advantage of the drunkenness and poured out his bitter eyes: "We don't ask you to help us advance further in the Ministry of War, as long as we can go to the local area to lead the army!"
Seeing the elder's eyes, Shi San nodded in agreement: "That's it!"
The elder smiled slightly and said leisurely: "This matter is very simple!"
For him, it was indeed quite simple. Since he did not shy away from his relationship with Prince Zhongshun, there was nothing wrong with borrowing the prince's name.
"real!"
The eyes of the two princes from the Shi family all lit up, how could they still be half drunk?
"Of course it's true!"
The eldest man put down his wine cup and said angrily: "But there is a prerequisite. You have not joined the other royal family bosses before, otherwise things will not be simple!"
Shi San smiled bitterly and said: "With the current situation of our two brothers, which royal family boss would like it?"
"That's good!"
The elder stood up directly and said with a smile: "I am too lazy to drink wine. Just wait for the news in a while. I won't disappoint you!"
I thought in my heart that the two cousins of the Shi family do have some real qualities, but just like Jia She, they were affected by the deposing of the crown prince and have been suppressed until now.
It's true that the Supreme Emperor couldn't bear to see the expansion of the former prince's power and shaken his throne, so he forced the former prince to lose his strength and take risks.
As a result, the deposed prince committed suicide after being defeated, and the emperor also engaged in a father-son invitation, and killed and crippled the cronies around the deposed prince. By the way, the families behind them were also implicated.
The boss of the Shi family spent his life on the battlefield for the sake of his family. The boss of the Shi family worked hard on the battlefield and finally became a marquis. However, after returning to Beijing, he only got a middle-level official position in the Ministry of War.
In short, since the death of the first prince, the Shi family has basically been in trouble. The family's strength and momentum have continued to decline, and now the situation is quite bad.
Of course, after all, the Shi family has two princes in charge. Even if they have no real power, it is not difficult to prevent the family from continuing to decline if they are not enterprising.
But it was obvious that the Shijia Shuanghou was not willing to live such an ordinary life.
The elder understands the mood of the Shi brothers. The two Shi Hous are also under psychological pressure.
Epang Palace is 300 miles away, but one person in Jinling cannot live there!
This sentence was circulated among the people in Jinling before to describe the historians of the four major families. Leaving aside the tabooed Afang Palace, the description of the historian is the most confusing among the four major families.
Damn, isn't it just that the descendants of the family are prosperous and numerous, and they even pulled out the Afang Palace of the First Emperor as a footnote? Isn't that what it actually means?
As the direct eldest members of the historian family, the two princes of history were under considerable pressure.
The resources of the entire Historian family are in the hands of the two Shi Hous. They have to plan for the future of the Historian's descendants and support the capable members of the Historian family.
However, the Shijia Shuanghou's abilities were limited, and apart from money and food, officialdom resources and other resources that could help the clansmen were pitiful.
For this matter, the two marquises were often complained by their family elders, but what can be done?
In the entire Shi family, the Shuanghou of the Shi family are the best. Even if the clan members are capable, they do not have enough resources to get ahead. As for joining other powerful forces, there is no need to even think about it.
In the feudal era, the family was one, and no matter how promising the clan members were, they had to keep in step with the family. They could not just join any major force they wanted, but the interests of the entire family had to be taken into consideration.
If you really want to put your personal future first, then you can leave the clan. As long as you leave the clan and have nothing to do with the family, you can do whatever you want. Unless you commit a serious crime of exterminating the nine clans, it will be difficult to affect the family.
Lin Ruhai's lineage is the best example. In the late years of the previous dynasty, Lin Ruhai's ancestor had great talent, but was suppressed by the family and could not use it.
Later, the world became too chaotic, and the Lin family had to relax its suppression of Lin Ruhai's ancestor. Finally, he was allowed to successfully leave the family before he could make a difference, and directly join Taizu's rebel team.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ancestor Lin Ruhai was granted the title of Marquis as a military advisor. When the Lin family saw this, they naturally approached him eagerly, but they were flatly rejected by ancestor Lin Ruhai.
This is also the main reason why the relationship between Lin Ruhai's family and the Lin family in Suzhou is not harmonious, and can even be said to be extremely cold.
Naturally, the Historian family has not encountered such a situation. There has not been anyone as talented and beautiful as the ancestor Lin Ruhai in the Historian family. Although there are some talents among the clan, none of them can take the imperial examination and become an official, and they do not feel that the family is hindering them.
For their future, they had to make plans to separate their clans and separate clans, but even so, the two princes of the historians also felt great pressure.
That is to say, when the elder was the chief envoy in Jiangsu Province, he helped the members of the four major families in Jinling go overseas to do business, and also helped some enterprising young people who wanted to get involved in the officialdom to enter the Yamen as eighth- and ninth-rank officials, thus bringing down the people in Jinling.
The clan members must be settled properly, otherwise the pressure on the Shi family and the Shuanghous will be even greater.
But just like that, seeing the people of the Jinling tribe prospering, making a lot of money or entering officialdom, the Shi family in the capital couldn't sit still.
The Shi family is really a large and prosperous family. Even if most of the clan members are stranded in Jinling, there are still more than a dozen clan members in the capital, and the number of adult clan members is almost hundreds, which is definitely a terrifying number.
Once they start making trouble, the Shijia Shuanghou may not be able to suppress them.
Long before the eldest master returned to Beijing, the two princes of the Shi family had actually had the idea of hugging each other. They were all direct cousins, so there was nothing shameful about them.
I just think that when the eldest master was silent, his life was much worse than that of the two Shi Hous who were serving as errands in the Ministry of War. The two Shi Hous had a great psychological advantage when facing the eldest master.
Now it's the other way around. It's a bit embarrassing to have them adapt to the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
After the eldest master returned to Beijing, the two princes of the Shi family were a little confused, wondering whether they should ask for help or not.
As a result, when the news spread that Prince Zhongshun favored the eldest master, the two princes no longer hesitated and were ready to embrace each other directly.
Fortunately, the elder was a man of good nature and did not have those bad habits in official circles, so he agreed to their request without any hesitation.
What is this? This is a relative.
The elder didn't pay attention to what Shi Jia Shuanghou was thinking. His idea was very simple. Since the other party wanted something from him and it was within his ability, it didn't matter if he helped.
The original work of The Red Chamber describes the historians well, but from Shi Xiangyun’s words, we can see that the historians’ lives are becoming increasingly difficult.
However, there should have been a period of time during which Shi Xiangyun seemed to have left for a period of time with an uncle who was an official abroad. The historian's family should have improved somewhat during that period.
How did you get up?
It’s definitely not based on today’s story. The original version of Red Mansions is a tragic story. In the end, the four major families should all be doomed, and historians will certainly not be an exception.
Speaking of which, Shi Jia either defected to Prince Zhongshun or Prince Yi Zhong. It is surprising that he got a good deal in the end. Today, I beg you not to let Shi Jia go.
At the moment, it is clear that the Shi family has not chosen to take sides, and their lives have not reached the point where they can no longer survive.
The Shi family also came from a military career, and there was always a lot of good stuff at home. To be able to force a noble marquis family with military merit to the point of forcing the young lady and the mistress to start sewing together, it was obvious that money was in short supply to a certain extent.
This matter should be closely related to today's bill collection.
From this inference, the Shi brothers were also powerful characters. They gritted their teeth and paid off the debt quietly, but unfortunately they could not escape smoothly in the end.
After rejecting the offer of two cousins of the Shi family to stay, the elder returned to his home and wrote a letter directly to Prince Zhongshun, asking him to help with activities.
Despite the fact that the two marquises of the Shi family have little reputation in Beijing, they are actually capable. Otherwise, where would Shi San's title of marquis come from?
They can't make a difference in the capital, but they can make a difference wherever they are. As long as they are given a chance, they can make a difference. It just so happens that Prince Zhongshun needs local generals he can trust to help guard the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and protect his overseas trade rear base.
No problem.
I believe that Prince Zhongshun will give the eldest master this face after investigating the two princes of the Shi family.
It was obvious that the eldest master was absolutely a hot commodity during this period. Not long after he returned to the other courtyard, Lian Er came to invite him with a bitter look on his face.
"Master, you must go back to your hometown this time, otherwise your son will really not be able to survive!"
When he saw the elder, Lian Er felt the urge to hug his legs and cry bitterly.
"What happened again?"
Staring at this guy, the elder said angrily: "By the way, there should be nothing going on in the house recently. I also want to live a clean life for a few days!"
"I'm not Brother Zhen. He wants to hug me but can't find me!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "The old lady didn't know how she heard the news. She happens to have some family matters and wants to discuss them with the master!"
