Chapter 349
Time flies back eight years ago, a year before this life and death raid. The Zhao Dong family refused to let his family leave and decided to set off with his husband's son. This is a brilliant move in the whole drama - choosing a wife.
The villagers knew who became the Zhao family's wife and would probably be widowed for the rest of their lives, but they valued the Zhao family's loyalty and were willing to send their daughters. A year later, this woman with many choices gave birth to a baby boy for the Zhao family, but she died of dying. Before her death, she left a sentence: If you have a life, I will die.
After seven years of leaving Zhao's family, the business was broken, the property was gone, the son died, and the Zhao family was completely defeated!
When his soul died in a foreign land, his soul always wandered on the way home. When his soul finally returned to the Zhao family's old house, it has changed now. When modern people ask the Zhao Dong family, look at the current decline of the Zhao family. If you know that this will be the result, will you still leave?
Although Zhao Dangjia was sad, he answered firmly - he still wanted to go!
At that moment, Johnson and Johnson finally understood that this was the righteousness of the Shanxi merchants.
But is it worth it to exchange for the righteousness of the whole family and the death of the people?
Isn’t this stupid to look at it with current values?
But on the other hand, the shopkeeper Wang's family also died for the sake of the boss's death. In that era, the trust between the shopkeeper and the boss may not be understood by people today.
Although they are businessmen, neither side has calculated their gains and losses. They are just doing the right things in their beliefs. They are just taking on the responsibilities they should shoulder. Smart businessmen may try their best to do things thoughtfully and safely, but they have no calculations.
At the end of the story, descendants of the Wang family left a monologue: "You have your surname? Where did you come from? What did your ancestors do? Do you know your life experience?
Do you remember the name of your grandfather and great-grandfather? Will they devote all their family property to raising you? Will such a thrilling story flow in your blood?
Will you be proud of your last name?
Will you be proud of being the descendants of the Chinese nation?
Everyone has a surname and an ancestor. Do we also want to travel back and follow our roots and see where our lives come from?
In this era of material desires and lack of integrity, can we exchange our loyalty and faith?
Will you give all your promise like the protagonist in the story until you give your life without regrets?
Johnson Johnson was deeply shocked and truly felt what it means to be a promise!
Unexpectedly, the ancient city was so charming. After leaving Pingyao, I excitedly drove to the Qiao Family Courtyard not far away to see what touching stories there are?
I heard that the relationship between Qiao family is too complicated and you have to find a tour guide to understand. Before entering the gate, there is a group of sculptures, right in front of the visitor center. There is a statue of Qiao Guifa, the founder of the Qiao family's entrepreneurial ancestor, as well as the third son Qiao Quanmei, Qiao Quanyi and Qiao Quande.
With the popularity of the TV series, Qiao Zhiyong became famous, and the high tickets to the Qiao Family Courtyard were given by him. He became a scholar and had a deep foundation in cultural knowledge. Because his brother Qiao Zhiguang died of illness, no one took charge of his family business and abandoned his official position and went to business.
It is precisely because of his profound Confucianism that the Qiao family has become a wealthy family that has not become popular in the Five Dynasties. They are both rich and noble, that is, they are rich and cultured, without a trace of the nouveau riche. The Qiao family has been rich for the Five Dynasties and has an absolute relationship with Qiao Zhiyong. If it were not for the reason of history and times, the sixth generation would have become rich.
The first one in the Qiao family’s three-piece treasure is called the Rhino Moon Viewing Mirror, which is carved from Southeast Asian iron pear wood. For two hundred years, the mirror image has been clear and the structure is perfect.
What’s even more amazing is the 10,000-person ball hanging on the ceiling of the east wing. No matter how many people are in the room or from which angle they stand, they can find themselves in the mirror. The image is very clear and will not deform.
At that time, Mr. Qiao hung it outside the window of the main room and often discussed commercial matters with the shopkeeper to prevent anyone from eavesdropping outside and seeing it with a glance.
Looking up at the four big words "Fuzhong Langhuan" on the gate, Cixi fled west and passed by, and the Qiao family gave 00,000 taels of silver to solve the urgent need for coal burning. Afterwards, the governor of Shanxi Ding Baoquan was given to Cixi in person.
There is also a couplet on both sides of the gate given by Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang. The picture of the Centennial Shou was painted by Zuo Zongtang, the then Minister of Military Affairs. Good guy, who dares to be careful about such a connection background?
All the thresholds of the courtyards should be raised and expensive, because they can only cross the thresholds and gather wealth, so they can only cross the road, not cross the road, for fear of being able to cut off their talents. There are also high schools, and I hope that the Qiao family will all cross the road. In fact, the rule that cannot cross the threshold is the same, no matter where, temples and palaces are the same.
The Qiao family admired the most is that they did not use maids, but only maids. Perhaps because many officials and wealthy families often took maids into their side rooms, or the young master irresponsibly played with maids, which was both contrary to the morals and harmed the innocence of other girls, the Qiao family only used poor women over 40 years old.
Many men who are up to date with unchanging rules must eat together. One is to keep friendship between Uncle Kun Zhong, the other is to discuss internal and external matters at the dinner table, and the other is to let young people learn the etiquette rules and precautions at the dinner table from their elders as soon as possible.
If the person is not in a uniform state, the elders are not allowed to move chopsticks first. If the elders are young, they are not allowed to refuse to pick up the vegetables for the young. They are not allowed to drip and throw them away. If they take the leftover rice in moderation, they are not allowed to take them in moderation.
Two meals a day, each person has a blue coat for meals. They must clean their hands before meals and rinse their mouths after meals. Do not speak too much when eating. The discussion will take one hour after meals.
Treat the servants well, especially the chefs, with their innocent wealth and skills as good as those of the masters of the hotel. With the rewards from the guests, they can get 200 taels of silver every year, so the chefs who go out here disdain to work elsewhere, and generally serve for life until they return home after retirement.
You must have a haircut twice a month and take a bath three times a month. All kitchen utensils must be clean and tidy. The chefs have three kinds of seafood, meat and dough tables, and each has its own unique skills.
There were large vinegar jars in the corners of the kitchen, which was a reflection of the rich family in Shanxi at that time. There was a lot of food and the vinegar was brewed by oneself. In the past, girls went on blind dates and saw directly how many vinegar jars there were in the other party’s house.
Some experts have estimated how much money the Qiao family has?
In that time, Qiao Zhiyong added Fusheng Quan and Fushengxi through independent capital. It is said that the Qing Dynasty formed the famous Beiyang New Army, with about 70,000 people and various equipment cannons. The annual maintenance and maintenance and renewal of these weapons was a huge cost.
At that time, a soldier paid five taels of silver, and all the miscellaneous things were calculated. The new army spent only 6 million taels, and this number was only one-sixth of the Qiao family's wealth.
The more I looked at it, the more I admired it. Hundreds and thousands of people fought with families, and their stores of more than 100 large and small were distributed throughout the country. You should know that there was no mobile network at that time, and it was all about contact with letters.
