The state dynasty pursues strong and weak branches, and the two capitals are well-deserved political, economic, cultural and military centers throughout the world.

It is precisely because of this that in order to maintain its influence in the current situation, many aristocratic families had to give up the family business strategy that their ancestors had deeply rooted in the countryside in their early years, and gave up their original rural foundation and settled in the two capitals.

As a famous family in Hebei, the Zhang family of Qinghe naturally followed the trend, and the tribesmen entered Luoyang to settle down. Guide and Shangxian Fangs, located on the west side of Changxia Gate in the south of Luoyang City, are the main settlements of the Zhang family of Qinghe in Shendu.

On this day, the gate of the Zhang family mansion located in Shangxianfang was opened, and the guests were filled with guests. Since the beginning of the morning, the Zhang family's children and slaves in the house went out everywhere to invite guests to the house to attend the banquet.

Although the scene was extremely serious, the expressions of the Zhang family's children were completely unhappy, and the entire mansion was filled with a depressing atmosphere. It was just because today's so-called family rituals are not about marrying or marrying, but about being in harmony with others.

Such things are not uncommon nowadays, but there are not many things that really make it as big as the Zhang family in Qinghe. Everyone understands the truth, because this is not something worth boasting about.

No matter what the reason is, a large family with a long history has even omitted the fundamental genealogy of the family inheritance, which is not decent enough in itself.

Despite this, there are still many occasions when visiting the ceremony, and many of them come uninvited. After all, people have more or less a little dark emotions of gloating.

However, not many relatives, friends and guests who were actually invited by the Zhang family were present. After all, those who could maintain friendship with the Zhang family would never be ordinary families, so they were naturally ashamed to show up in such matters.

A child of Zhang rushed into the hall, and said with a gloomy expression that the guest invited had something to come to congratulate him. Hearing this, the faces of several old Zhang people sitting in the hall became even more ugly.

"Shi Siye is a famous Gao Shi Su Lao, who is famous in the court and the country, and has a marriage relationship with my family. If he doesn't come, my family will inevitably be questioned again and have poor preparations. Now, I just want to deal with it."

In just two days, Zhang Xungu looked much older. When he heard his children's reply, his face showed a lot of worry. He looked at an old man who was older than him and said, "I'm lucky, brother, please go and invite me again. I'll tell you about my family's illness. As long as Shi Siye can help my family overcome the current difficulties, there will be a good reward in the future."

After hearing this, the old man's face changed. After a moment, he sighed with regret: "Well, I have no hope. There is no need to give up my descendants for some face. I will go and invite Shi Siye!"

After saying that, the old man went to the outsider with the help of his slave.

Everyone in the hall looked at the old man's trembling back, all of whom were sad and angry. One of them clenched his fists and smashed it hard on the wooden table, and said angrily: "Wang Meichangcheng is not good at planning! The matter started from him, but he pulled away, leaving my family alone to be criticized by His Highness Yong..."

Yes, after learning the whole story, the people of the Zhang clan complained about Zhang Xungu, but when things evolved to this point, they hated the most not King Yong and King Lu, but Wang Meichang, who was planning things in front and abandoned them halfway.

Hearing the clan members say this, Zhang Xungu's face showed even more sadness. He saw that even if Wang Meichang came to the house in person, he was not taken seriously by King Yong at all. He even sent only one eunuch slave to drive them out of the house. Even if Wang Meichang was willing to do his best to help his family, he would probably not be able to withstand King Yong's anger.

But the truth is that Wang Meichang has never contacted him again since then. He was rejected several times of visits, which made Zhang Xungu even more helpless.

Especially as a temporary camp was built near Xiamen, the outside minister of the yard, soldiers would soon settle in, making it even harder for the people of the Zhang clan living in several nearby yards to sleep and eat.

If his family is not right, they may hope to seek some support in the court. But their family is wrong first and rashly promotes the big news. King Yong is afraid that he will attack his family even more unscrupulously.

In desperation, after two consecutive days of sleepless discussions, the Zhang family finally made such a decision, agreed to the conditions proposed by the two kings, and obediently sent out their own genealogy, and decided to recognise their relatives today.

After noon, guests arrived one after another. At the same time, the Zhang family's children who had been waiting outside the yard also reported that Zhang Yan had led his tribe to this trip.

After hearing the news, Zhang Xungu hurriedly led his clans to greet him. However, when he saw the seventy-eight eight tribesmen behind Zhang Yanbing, his face collapsed again, and he couldn't help but ask, "Two Your Highnesses..."

Zhang Yan was detained in the Lu Wang Mansion for a few days. He was already in panic, but he didn't want to be terrified. He found such a big advantage, which was a happy event. He waved his hand with a flushed face and said, "Your Highness Yong is going to Shangyang Palace to participate in the state affairs today, and Your Highness Lu is going to protect his sister from traveling behind me. I am worried that I will miss the good time, so I will take the lead."

When the people of the Zhang clan heard this, the negative energy on their bodies was inevitably stronger. In order to prepare for today's scene, they could say that they threw out the face of the entire family for people to trample on, hoping that this would resolve the resentment of the two kings, but they did not take this matter seriously at all.

But no matter what your mood is, since you have reached this point, the Zhang family can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward and welcome Zhang Yan and his party to the mansion.

At this time, the guest room in Zhang's hall was also sitting there, and everyone was curious about what kind of person was worthy of Qinghe Zhang's formation to recognize his relatives.

However, when Zhang Yan and his party entered the hall, everyone present was disappointed, and many people looking at the Zhang clans in the hall had obvious sarcasm on their faces.

A person's quality can be seen in his words, deeds and physical appearance. If Zhang Yan is calm, he looks decent, but when Zhang Xungu introduces the guests in the hall to him, once he answers, his behavior is insolent and rude and rude nature will be revealed.

As for the other tribesmen, they were even more unbearable. After entering the hall, some were timid, some looked around, and all kinds of shallowness were lost, which made people unbearable to see it.

Zhang Yan and others' behavior is normal. Their family is not from a high family, and the only friendship that can be praised is Zhang Liangyuan. To be honest, this marriage did not bring much of his family. Instead, it had to hide because of this, and its basic life was greatly disturbed.

Only in recent years did the young king leave the house and his family's situation improve. He was summoned to Luoyang, the capital of God, and received a manor gift from the Lu king. He made a business with the farming mulberry, which was naturally incompatible with the atmosphere of the Zhang family, the Zhang family of Qinghe.

To be honest, if Zhang Xungu had not taken the initiative to contact him, Zhang Yan would have never dreamed that his family would have such an opportunity. This was beyond his past cognition. However, Lu Jinglian, who was responsible for contacting him, said with confidence, and Zhang Xungu's personal promise, he felt that there was great potential for this matter.

The wish is about to be achieved now. Although the method is different from the original idea, the effect is much better than what I thought before, so Zhang Yan naturally has no reason to be unhappy.

After entering the middle hall of Zhang's family, Zhang Yan was not in the mood to meet the guests in the hall again. After listening to Zhang Xungu's introduction, he couldn't help but urge him: "You can't delay the good times. I'd better pay my respects to our ancestors first and then return to the hall to entertain the guests."

Zhang Xungu and others were also urged to have no choice but to stay here for some branch tribes and their guests to entertain guests. Some of their direct tribesmen led Zhang Yan and others to the ancestral temple.

According to the original arrangement of the Zhang family, the relatives and friends who had already sacked a lot of effort to invite them to the ancestral temple to watch the ceremony. However, seeing that the Zhang family members were so unbearable, the relatives and friends who barely attended felt offended at this moment and were unwilling to fall into depravity with the Zhang family, they all sat in the table without moving.

Zhang Xungu and others no longer demanded. The reason why his family invited these guests was to give an explanation to the two Your Highnesses. Now that the two kings are not present, there is no need to beg these people for the ginseng ceremony.

"Where did Zhang Shaoqing visit this family? Is this the relative who lived outside the Zhang family's legitimate house?"

When Zhang Xungu and his party left, the guests in the hall were no longer scrupulous and started to talk, and they did not hide their ridicule of the Zhang family in Qinghe.

In fact, these guests are also from poor families, and may not be just looking down on Zhang Yan and others. However, the Zhang family in Qinghe claims to be famous family style, but in the end they are close to such families, it is inevitable that people will look down on the family style and are not worthy of the usual noble attitude.

Not long after, someone revealed the identity of Zhang Yan and others and learned that Zhang Yan was from the Lu Wang Mother clan. The guests present understood the reason why Zhang Shi did this. But even so, the Zhang family was so shameless and bold, and the appearance of being inclined to the point of being inclined is really ugly.

But because the matter involved King Lu, the guests in the hall did not dare to sneer and criticize without any scruples, but they couldn't help but look down on the Zhang family in Qinghe. Just the concubine of King Lu, who had to lower his figure so much, was really the character of the whole nameless clan.

Since the two kings did not attend the ceremony, Zhang's family ceremony for recognizing relatives did not last long. It was nothing more than copying the genealogy brought by Zhang Yan in the Qinghe Zhang family genealogy, and declaring that the elders and young people would send their own gifts.

The most embarrassing thing is to place the spiritual throne of Zhang Liangyuan's father into the ancestral hall and place it next to the spiritual throne of Zhang Yanzhi, the ancestor of their lineage. Next, several elders of Zhang Xungu, led by Zhang Xungu, would hold the respect of Zhang Yan's younger generation.

Although it is said that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, after this week, Zhang Xungu and others were just glad that there were not many outsiders present, so that the scene of their Zhang family losing all their dignity was spread.

After enduring this most embarrassing scene, the people of the Zhang family's tribes also had different feelings. Some people felt like they had lost their parents, while others felt like they were lost, but there were also many people who were secretly happy.

Now their family is related to the Two Kings, and both His Highness will no longer make things difficult for his family. It is an indisputable fact that the Two Kings are powerful at the moment. If their Zhang family sticks it on at this time, they will not only avoid the disaster of the family destruction in front of them, but may also be able to share some power.

Not to mention anything else, since King Lu was so dedicated to raising family affairs for his concubine's mother's family, he could tell that he must have a deep friendship. Even if he would not directly care about their Zhang family, he would not treat Zhang Yan, his uncle, and it would be natural that the Zhang family could take advantage of the situation.

When the crowd returned to the middle hall, another servant came to report that King Lu had already protected his concubine's mother and entered the yard. Zhang Xungu and others naturally did not dare to neglect them and hurriedly led their children to greet them.
