Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 83
"It's just ahead."

Xie Shang led the way, and Zhao Yue and the servants and guards followed behind Xie Shang.

"Sure enough, there are quite a lot of noble families in Bird Clothes Lane."

"Mostly it is the mansion of the Langya Wang family."

Crossing the most central and best position of Bird Clothes Lane, it took a long time to arrive at the mansion of the Xie family in Chenjun.

In terms of location, it is relatively remote in Wuyi Lane.

Looking at the mansion again, the gate of the mansion is majestic, and the mansion occupies a large area, but after entering the mansion, it doesn't feel like Zhao Yue entered Yu's house.

In Yu's mansion, there are furniture fences, which are all made of precious wood. Coral and jade are not uncommon, but in Xie's mansion, there are no such things.

There is no flowing water, no rockery and jade, even the water in the pavilion and pool is gone.

Two words: simplicity!

"Hehe, the house is simple, please don't mind my husband."

"If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. Although the mansion of Brother Renzu is not luxurious, I think the mansion is full of energy. The mansion is entrenched on the bank of the river, and there will be noble people."

"Hahaha. Don't be joking, Mr. Lang."

Xie Shang led Zhao Yue into the inner hall for guests all the way, and Zhao Yue was a little surprised that there was actually a small school yard in this Xie mansion.

"It seems that the Xie clan of Chen Jun has not lost his martial arts skills, and he is practicing martial arts in the school every day."

"sit."

Zhao Yue knelt down and sat down, Xie Shang went to order his servants, then knelt down in front of Zhao Yue, and said: "The world is not fair. Although I, the Xie family of Chenjun, want to be among the top families, I still have to learn what I should learn." Yes, so what if it is ridiculed by the world?"

The first metabolite of the Xie family in Chenjun first appeared after the officials.

The second Xie Heng was a doctor of Liguan, Sanqi Changshi, Guozijiu, and Prince Shaofu. With his proficiency in Confucianism and profound knowledge, he served as a close servant of the emperor and the prince, and began to enter the central political circle.

Xie Kun, the third generation, "had no fame" and had a negative attitude towards officials. The highest official he served was the prefect of Yuzhang, but he had a very high reputation in society and was known as "the hope of the court".

His younger brother Xie Bao took up the post of Wu's domestic history, holding a local position with considerable political and economic power.

They entered the official career in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, won the reputation for the family to varying degrees, and made their family evolve from an ordinary family of officials to a family of officials for generations.

But at this moment, the family status of the Xie family, which is as famous as the Wang family of Langya, has not yet been formed, and family members are despised from time to time.

The servant delivered the drinks and food, and after the food was delivered, two people walked in from outside the hall.

One person was about the same age as Zhao Yue, with delicate features, and somewhat similar to Xie Shang. Behind him, there was a four or five-year-old boy with two braids in the sky and wearing tiger-toed shoes on his feet. He looked at him curiously at this moment Zhao Yue.

"Mr. Lang, these are my two cousins, Dalang Xie Yi and Sanlang Xie An. You two, hurry up and pay your respects to Mr. Zhao's family."

Xie Shang stood up and introduced the two clansmen to Zhao Yue.

"There is no need to salute."

Zhao Yue stood up with a smile.

"I'm not an elder. Since I'm of the same generation, I will meet with each other with the courtesy of the same generation. You two, come and take your seats."

Xie Yi bowed to Zhao Yue, and his first impression of this Mr. Zhao family whom he had heard many times in recent days was very good.

The four of them sat down, even Xie An, who was still a child, was still sitting properly.

From this point of view, the tutor of the Xie family in Chenjun is still very good.

It is no wonder that there are so many capable descendants of the tribe.

"Today Mr. Zhao's family was invited by me to visit my humble house. He is really full of splendor. Although he is of the same generation as me, Mr. Xiaolang has already become famous among scholars. His calligraphy, classics, and poems are worthy of both of you." Those who learn from others should be treated like father and brother, and should not be underestimated."

"Yes."

Xie Yi nodded slightly, even Xie An, who was four or five years old, also nodded in a decent manner, but he might not quite understand the meaning of Xie Shang's words, the two eyes on the baby's fat face, at this moment Looking at Zhao Yue!
"Today's invitation is rather urgent. There are only drinks and meat, and the rest of the delicacies, singers and dancers, are not ready."

In fact, it's not that the preparations are not complete, it's just that Chenjun Xie's pocket is too shy.

To create a high-standard banquet, the materials consumed are absolutely expensive.

Now Mrs. Xie can't afford too many such banquets.

Gaomen's luxury is based on his power.

So what if the fourth generation of the Xie family in Chenjun grows up and holds banquets every day?

During the Jin Dynasty, all officials could occupy land, mountains and tenants according to their official positions. Those who were more could occupy 50 hectares of fields and 40 tenant households, and those who were less could occupy 10 hectares of fields and 5 households of shade customers.

The Wang clan of Langya had many officials, so they owned more land and laborers, so their economic strength was naturally strong.

When the Xie family in Chenjun rises to power, the sons of the family will hold important positions, not to mention the whole family, but just one of them's family assets, and they can feast day and night.

For example, Zhao Yue now has never tasted the feeling of being short of money.

The Zhao family in Zhongtianshui, Jiankang has restaurants, land, and shops.Outside of Jiankang, places like Huainan and Yixing have more land, including seven or eight mountains, countless paddy and dry fields, more than a dozen orchards, and a large area of ​​bamboo forest vegetable gardens. There are thousands of children and servants, and tens of thousands of songs count.

With such a family background, will there be a shortage of money?
"It's all about eating. It's not like you and I haven't eaten before. We also have wine and meat. What more can we ask for?"

As for food and drink, Zhao Yue only had one requirement, that is to eat enough, with a combination of meat and vegetables.

As for the so-called delicacies from mountains and seas, it is just a mouthful.

Taking a sip of rice wine, Zhao Yue looked at Xie Yi, as if he had thought of something, he chuckled and asked, "I wonder if Da Lang ever got married?"

Once Xie Shang heard Zhao Yue's words, he understood what he meant.

But he had a very regretful expression on his face.

"Lang Jun, my cousin is already married."

"Oh? Which one is it?"

Xie Yi said from the side: "Zhuo Jing was born in the Ruan family of Chenliu."

Zhao Yue nodded slightly.

"It's a pity, I still want to get married with you Chen Jun Xie, I don't want to miss this opportunity."

Xie Shang frowned, and quickly said: "There are still children in the family who have not yet engaged, such as Erlang Ju and Sanlang An, of course. There are also women in the mansion who are waiting to be released from the cabinet, and have not yet engaged."

This Xie Shang, now wished he could become a female family member and marry Zhao Yue himself.

"I heard that Saburo was once praised by celebrities?"

Zhao Yue looked at Xie An.

If Xie An was engaged in advance, not to mention his later fame, Xie An could be used by him simply by relying on his in-law relationship.

There are still too few people who can use Tianshui Zhao's.

It sounds good if the Xie family of Chenjun, who has not yet taken off, can be used as his talent reserve base.
