Wei Jinde happily cut a large piece of pork, bought fine flour, and bought soy sauce, brown sugar and other condiments that he couldn't bear to eat on weekdays. He slaughtered all the only hens laying eggs at home, and went to the field to pull up some onions and cabbage, and became busy in the kitchen.

"Liangqing, go to your aunt's house and call your cousin here too." Wei Jinde called his son over.

"Dad, I'll help you, or let my brother call you."

"No need, just go there! I'm busy here alone!"

Seeing that his uncle was busy alone, Gao Shixin quickly took off his flying fish suit, rolled up his sleeves and went in to help, but was also bombarded by Wei Jinde: "Brother, how can you do the work of these servants? You are a high-ranking official in the court!"

Not long after, Wei Liangqing came back with his cousin Fu Yingxing.

Before Fu Yingxingren entered the house, he shouted excitedly: "Uncle, I heard that the eldest sister is back? My cousin is also here? I heard that our little cousin has become a high-ranking official?"

Gao Shixin greeted him and saw a man in his early thirties. He knew it must be Fu Yingxing. He happily bowed to Fu Yingxing: "Hello cousin! I am your little cousin."

When Fu Yingxing saw the Jinyiwei Qianhu wearing a loud red flying fish suit, wearing a wingless black gauze hat, wearing a gold belt (actually a copper belt), hanging jade signs, and carrying embroidered spring swords, coming up to call his cousin. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "It's you, are you really my cousin?"

"Of course, it's just a bit farther away. My grandfather and your grandmother are cousins." Gao Shixin said.

This relationship is indeed far away, but it is also a relative. For Wei Jinde, it would rather recognize Gao Shixin, a relative who was a high-ranking official, than to recognize that bastard brother, the face is much brighter.

Wei Jinde was busy in the kitchen for more than an hour and finally finished cooking.

In the narrow house, the shabby table was filled with various dishes. In the middle were two large pots of white flour pork and cabbage dumplings, which exuded an attractive fragrance. A large pot of braised pork, a large pot of chicken soup, fried dried tofu, fried eggs and so on. The old man Wei dug up all the wine he had treasured for more than ten years from the ground to drink.

Wei Jinde opened the jar of wine: "This wine was originally for Liangdong to pass the Jinshi exam. Who knew that the boy was not good at doing his best and didn't study hard at all, which made me so angry!"

Gao Shixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, this time I came here, just to take all my cousins ​​to the capital to be officials."

"What about your brother-in-law?" Wei Chunhua asked.

"Of course, go too, go together! Sister, you go too! Go to the capital to enjoy your happiness!" Gao Shixin said with a smile. Anyway, he went to the capital, so he would first get these brothers to the Jinyiwei. As for the promotion and buying a house, it would be nine thousand years old.

The whole family sat at the dining table and was having a happy mood.

But how could kind people think that in more than twenty years, Jiannu from the north would travel here! Wherever the bloody butcher knife passed, all men were forced to shave their hair and change their clothes, leaving ugly rat-tails of money, and those who dared to resist were killed. Then they ran to encircle land, whether they were gentry or the people, the land was encircled by the Eight Banners. Those who did not escape were captured and became slaves, and those who ran away became refugees. If they starved to death on the roadside, or joined the Anti-Qing uprising army, they were finally killed.

The blooming flowers in Jiangnan were also destroyed by horse hooves and butchers' knives. The civil servants and gentry groups who were unwilling to pay taxes on the Ming Dynasty finally tasted the bitter fruits they had caused. Those who resisted were killed. Even those who were kind-hearted and ambitions who did not resist were obedient to the people were killed in a large number of cases in Jiangnan. All the property in the family was provided to the great cause of national integration, and the wife and daughter of the family were also taken out to support the army and provided to the cause of national integration.

The gentry in the north and south deserved it. The gentry in the north was enclosed and lost all its property and even the land was lost. The gentry in the south was slaughtered by butchers, and the remaining ones became slaves. But the gentry deserved the crime, so should innocent people be buried with them?

In fact, it didn't take twenty years at all. More than ten years later, King Xin became Chongzhen, and the people and military households rebelled on a large scale, and the Central Plains became a starving Shura hell everywhere. The civil servants and gentry hiding in the south of the Yangtze River were only punished when they went to Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the people were implicated and buried with them.

As for those gentry who were willing to be dogs and coat slaves in order to save their property, were their property preserved? They didn't keep it all. Take the Haining Cha family as an example and reported their friends, which triggered the "Ming History Case". Finally, in the Yongzheng period, they were still taken away by Yongzheng? Later, Yongzheng created another official and gentry together. The upright gentry could only accept it?

In order to strengthen the power of the eunuch party as soon as possible, Gao Shixin, a reactionary who decided to destroy ethnic integration, decided to make a decision for Jiu Qiansui. He decided to take Wei Liangqing, Wei Liangdong, Fu Yingxing, Yang Liuqi, Wei Chunhua and two younger generations to Beijing. After entering the capital, he first arranged a military reunion for them in the Jinyiwei. Then when Zhu Changluo passed away and Jiu Qiansui became in power, the descendants of the eunuch party won the official position of the Jinyiwei to help Jiu Qiansui who harmed the country and the people to frame the upright and kind Donglin Qunxian, and resolutely implement the reactionary line that undermines national integration.

Of course, Gao Shixin had to be wary of the ascension of the king. If he ascended the throne by the king, the wise and powerful King Xin helped the upright Donglin Party to rectify the trouble, and their group of reactionaries who undermined national integration would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Through chatting, Gao Shixin realized that his eldest cousin Wei Chunhua had become a grandmother! Because Wei Chunhua's eldest daughter is already seventeen years old, she is married and has a child.

We got married very early these days. Wei Chunhua was sold by Nine Thousand Sui at the age of six, and she had sex with her husband at the age of thirteen, and gave birth to her eldest daughter at the age of fifteen, and gave birth to a son at the age of sixteen. In this way, Nine Thousand Sui has become a great-grandfather! And her generation is actually a grandfather!

He became a grandmother in his thirties. In that era, Gao Shixin couldn't even imagine it. In that era, there were more leftover women who were still not married in his thirties.

"Husband, we went to the capital, what should we do if a couple of children?" Wei Chunhua asked. The youngest daughter has not yet married, and she has a son who has not yet started a family and a career.

Yang Liuqi smiled and said, "Take it to the capital together! What's wrong with this?"

After dinner, Gao Shixin took his two little brothers to the carriage and horses in Suning County to wait.

The carriages and horses in the county town of Ming Dynasty were equivalent to the current long-distance bus stations. There were regular shuttle buses every day to the Fucheng and the provincial capital. However, this is Beizhili, and going to the provincial capital means going to the capital.

It was more than 30 miles from the village to the county town. Gao Shixin gave his brother-in-law and three cousins ​​one tael of silver as car money, and asked them to rent a car in the village to go to the county town. In the end, he gave Fu Yingxing fifty taels of silver, which was originally the silver that nine thousand years old gave to his nephew. It was just a transfer from Gao Shixin.

Gao Shixin, Cai Jiuyi and Wu Liuqi rode their horses to the county town first, and found an inn to stay for one night when they arrived in the county town. My brother-in-law and cousin also had to go home to pack their luggage and say goodbye to their family before they could come to the county town. It is estimated that it would be the next day for them to arrive in the county town.

I guess they will set off tomorrow morning and take a bus for more than 30 miles. It is noon when they arrive in the county town. There is a shuttle bus to Beijing at noon.

Three Jinyiwei entered the county town, and the guards at the gate of the city didn't even have to look at the road. Entering the city, the three of them moved into the inn and scared the shopkeepers and waiters to see Jinyiwei. Fortunately, these Jinyiwei did not bully men and women like the rumors, and they were useless to eat and drink. Instead, they took out the money and paid the deposit.
