Chapter 204 Family Reunion
Zhang Changzong came out of the palace and drove his horse home directly. My mother and Mrs. Zheng were there at home. The two old ladies circled around him every day. He went out for so many days, but I don’t know how he would miss him. He had to go back quickly and let the two old ladies care about it.
The Zhang family has divided the families in a practical sense three years ago. Of course, it is still a family to the outside world, without any households, and they are all economies.
Zhang Changzong's bookstore is well run. He handed in half and kept half of it. He basically didn't use much money. After saving some, he lobbied Princess Taiping with Xue Chongxiu and opened warehouses in Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou. The Zhang family not only got rid of poverty, but also joined the ranks of rich people. Then, in the first year of dividend distribution, Zhang Changzong dragged a cart of copper coins to my mother! Wei and the sister-in-law were almost scared and had never seen so much money!
After Zhang Changzong made it clear and knew that it was his dividend, the two began to be excited and secretly bought a lot of land, including those near Chang'an, those near Luoyang, as well as houses, those in Chang'an, and those in Luoyang. But in the second year, when Zhang Changzong moved back more money, his sister-in-law Liu came back and took the initiative to ask Wei to ask his brothers to separate the economic accounts and establish each house.
The eldest sister-in-law Liu is worthy of being the clan wife chosen by Wei. She has no great insight, but she has principles and is fair in her family. Zhang has many children and a large population. In addition to the youngest Liu Lang, Zhang Changzong, Wu Lang, Zhang Yizhi, also married a wife after hesitation for a long-term harmony between his brothers. Wei hesitated for a few days, but finally agreed to Liu's proposal and invited Zhang Liangke and Zhang Luke to witness it, and the family was divided and the household was not divided.
Zhang Changqi was the eldest son and wanted to inherit the ancestral temple. Naturally, according to current customs, he inherited most of the property. The original yard in Chang'an was given to him.
Zhang Changzong was able to make money by himself. Except for the intention of asking for a farm, he didn't ask for any other property. He saved money to buy a house and land, and gave all the others to his second brother, fourth brother and fifth brother.
Before Wei's youngest son Zhang Changzong got married, she had to follow Zhang Changzong to help manage the family affairs, and she could not let Zheng take care of him. After Zhang Changzong got married, Wei would be raised by Zhang Changqi, and everyone was very happy.
Under the destruction of the Dafa of memorizing 120 times over the years, the Zhang family members were all very good-looking, and they read well. The only regret was that most of them did not have the talent to write poetry, and most of the poems they wrote were unsatisfactory. However, the imperial examinations were heavy on poetry and essays, so they had no choice but to follow the Mingjing Academy. However, there were seven or eight of them who could win the tenth. The remaining two or three were carrying sticks behind their butts and couldn't read them, so there was nothing they could do.
Over the years, under the intentional care of Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, the children of the Zhang family were not bad. The smartest Zhang Changyi had a shortage of other states and went to the south to be the governor. He was considered the highest-ranking person in the Zhang family except Zhang Liangke. Of course, that was also before Zhang Changzong was not the General of the Yulin Guard.
Zhang Liangke was transferred from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Works, and was promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat, and entered the ranks of powerful officials. Zhang Luke went to Weiwei Temple and was one of the Shaoqings; Zhang Luoke was still in Weinan; Zhang Changqi took over the position of county magistrate of Chang'an County and stayed in Chang'an, and Zhang Tongxiu went to Guanglu Temple and served as the chief clerk; Zhang Yizhi had just become a relative and was preparing to take the imperial examination.
All the literary generations were thrown out by Zhang Changzong and sent to the county magistrate. Anyone who became an official was thrown out by Zhang Changzong and became a county magistrate. They all started from the grassroots level and accumulated experience so as not to waste time in the capital. Children just had to beat them to become successful, and they could not grow up if they stayed in Beijing and lived a comfortable life.
Although it was all for their own future, the whole family was scattered everywhere and it was rare to reunite. On weekdays, Wei followed him wherever Zhang Changzong was. This time, Wei was promoted to the wife of the imperial decree and received the imperial edict. Wei sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Changzong, saying that he wanted to take the opportunity to call his children to gather together. Zhang Changzong naturally did not disagree and specially asked his mother to invite his third sister back.
Back then, after the third sister got married, she went to another place with her brother-in-law to take up her post. She has never come back for so many years. Wei is old, and although she didn't say anything, Zhang Changzong could see that she was worried about her only daughter and hoped that her third sister would come back this time. To be honest, Zhang Changzong no longer remembers what his cheap third sister looks like.
After throwing the horse to the doorman, Zhang Changzong went straight to the backyard. Before the person arrived, the voice went in first: "Amn, Mrs. Zheng, Liu Lang is back! Do you two miss me?"
He smiled and went in. In the huge main hall, Wei was the first to sit. Mrs. Zheng was not there. There was a woman next to Wei, looking at him with a smile.
Zhang Changzong's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped over: "Sister-in-law! When did you arrive? How many days have you been here? Long time no see, do you miss me?"
Sister-in-law Liu almost raised him like a son. Among all sister-in-law, Zhang Changzong and his sister-in-law had the deepest love. They were really happy to see her and were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu laughed "puke" and helped Zhang Changzong up to bow and said, "Why didn't you say you miss me, but asked me if I miss you? It's obvious that this sweet-mouthed person who likes to ask for verbal cheapness has not changed."
Zhang Changzong smiled and said, "Of course, it can't be changed. Wouldn't you be used to it if you change your sister-in-law? Now that I'm like this, my sister-in-law may be more kind and love me as much as she used to."
"You!"
The forehead was clicked, and Liu looked at him lovingly, with a happy expression: "I have grown taller and stronger. No wonder I am a general. If you beat my sister-in-law, you will know that you will be successful. Now it is not successful! It's so great!"
Seeing that she was really happy for him, Zhang Changzong felt warm. He didn't care about anything else and called someone to move a small couch, sat down to the legs of his mother and sister-in-law, raised his head and asked, "The second sister-in-law is with the second brother, and he will definitely not come back. Where are the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law? Are you here? And the third sister? But when will it arrive in the letter?"
Seeing that Wei and Liu were in the main hall, they couldn't help asking. Wei smiled and looked at the two of them talking and reminiscing. He looked at his son who was returning home with only a pair of eyes. Seeing that everything was fine, he didn't say much. He just smiled and said, "Your fourth sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law just arrived this morning. I asked them to settle down for my mother. Your third sister probably will be coming tomorrow and it will be soon. Where are you? You look a little thinner."
Zhang Changzong touched his face, and it was hard to describe it. He clearly felt that his muscles were stronger, but his mother still felt that he was thin. There was a kind of thinness that mom thought you were thin.

I coaxed my mother to talk to my sister-in-law whom I haven't seen for a long time, then came out of Wei's place and moved to Zheng's place--
"Mrs. Zheng!"
Zheng was fiddling with flowers and plants. Hearing this, he looked up at him, with a light smile on his face: "Here you come back? Look at your lively look, it seems that I don't need to ask if you are safe."
Zhang Changzong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Madam, don't ask this. You just need to ask me if I miss you outside. By the way, you can also tell me if you miss me at home. It's not contradictory."
"cheeky!"
"I've touched it, it's not thick!"
Zheng said anger, and his smile became more and more deeper. He cleaned his hands with the water brought by the maid, letting him hold his arms and go back to the house together. It would be good to come back. He usually thinks he is noisy at home. If he is not here, the house is quiet and empty, so it would be better to come back.
Zhang Changzong looked down at the old lady. She was a few years younger than Wei, but she had suffered in the Yeting Palace in previous years. She looked older, her hair turned white, and her body was not as good as Wei.
Zhang Changzong was worried every time he went out. When he came back this time, he saw the old lady losing weight again, but he was still in good spirits. He asked: "Madam, are you unable to eat anymore? You have to eat well, otherwise, when I get married and have children, who will help me teach my children?"
Zheng laughed and glanced at him: "You are shameless but you don't admit it. Whose unmarried young man will not even blush when he talks about marrying a wife and having children?"
Zhang Changzong was righteous: "I am looking forward to a bright future. Since I am thinking in my heart, why do you blush? Isn't that pretentious?"
"nonsense!"
Zheng sat down with his support, patted his arm and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I will take good care of myself. There are many people coming to your family these days, so it's rare to get together. Do you know?"
"Well, I know! Madam, don't worry, my disciple knows it. By the way, I brought some fresh fruits back and let Ah Xi make it into fruits for his wife? This sour and sweet way made it a treat."
With a tone of offering treasures, Zheng smiled again and nodded: "Sure."
"My intention, my wife should eat more."
"I understand, you long-winded child, go quickly and settle your family first."
Zheng urged, but Zhang Changzong ignored her and said something for a while. He made the old lady laugh so hard that she couldn't stop. Then she turned around and went back to her yard, washed up and came out, and met a tall and slender boy who described his handsome boy. When the boy saw him, he immediately smiled: "Sixth brother!"
