The powerful noble families actually look down upon this, because the little salary this job brings is meaningless to them! But they still pass it on as an honor!
Under normal circumstances, the eldest son will inherit his father's title, so this job will be passed on to other children. The powerful nobles will even give this job to the children of the side branch, which can be regarded as leaving a way for the people of the side branch to survive.
!
But now that the Liu family has been deprived of even this honor, it can be seen that the court and noble groups have completely acquiesced in the decline of the Liu family!
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang established the world and Zhu Di was in trouble, the honors they bestowed on others have not known anyone else! The decline of the Liu family is definitely not an isolated phenomenon! After all, there are more people sharing the cake, and everyone is uncomfortable eating, so some people
It is understandable that groups with honorable status are excluded from competition!
It is common for those who fail in the competition to disappear from the family. It is not uncommon for the whole family to die unexpectedly! Although the Liu family is not the first to disappear silently from the noble family, it is also common.
Definitely not the last one!
Gu Ningbo's mansion had fallen to this point, and Liu Haojia's father was naturally not willing to sit still and wait for death! However, he appealed to many people, and not only did he not get the job he wished for, but he also depleted his little family resources!
As for in-laws, Gu Ningbo's mansion couldn't borrow any help! Because those who married a declining noble like him were either from the same declining noble family or from a small family. Liu Haojia's father married a
The legitimate daughter of a noble family has long since declined! Her family has already moved out of the capital, and they can’t borrow any strength!
Therefore, Liu Haojia's father was so cruel that he completely tore off Xungui's reputation and rented his Earl's Mansion to a wealthy businessman!
When the ancestor of the Liu family built this uncle's mansion, Zhu Di had not yet moved the capital to Beijing, and the land price was relatively cheap. Therefore, the built uncle's mansion occupies a large area, and its geographical location is also quite good! Therefore, it is not a bad idea for other nobles to crowd out the Liu family.
I have no idea of swallowing up the Liu family's house.
Therefore, Liu Haojia's father did not dare to tell the public that he had rented out the uncle's house, because that would bring shame on all the nobles, who would immediately come to the door and completely devour what was left of the Liu family!
In the end, Liu Haojia's father simply gave the wealthy businessman the name of a distant relative, and rented out the residence in the name of a loan!
And that wealthy businessman is also a well-rounded person with a profound background! After he moved into the uncle's house, not only did no nobles come to bother him, but he also followed the rules of relatives and walked around with the Liu family! The rent of the house was also in the name of filial piety to relatives during the Four Seasons and Eighth Festival.
By sending it over, it saved the Liu family’s last bit of dignity!
With a generous rent, the Liu family finally got through the final difficulty. So Liu Haojia's father simply asked a wealthy businessman to separate several houses in the backyard with walls, and opened gates on the walls to live in an independent courtyard.
Come down. Although the life is not happy, it is more than enough to support a middle-income family!
The Liu family's family is also very simple. There are only one generation in the Liu family, so Liu Haojia has no uncles. Liu Haojia's father is Liu Runlin, whose name is Yushu. His mother is Liu Zhang. Liu Haojia also has an older brother who has just grown up, named Liu Haonian, whose name is Yushu.
Siyuan. If nothing else happens, Gu Ningbo's hat will fall on his brother's head!
In addition, there is a little maid in the family who has just entered the house a few years ago, who serves Liu Haojia's parents and does some chores. As for Liu Haojia's mother's dowry maid, she died of illness a few years ago.
There is another family in the house. The man is the servant Liu Guangyuan, who is the same age as Liu Haojia's father. He holds the positions of servant and housekeeper. The mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu Li, is in charge of the kitchen. They also have two sons, named Liu Jinbao and Liu Yinbao, who specialize in cooking.
I do some chores and practice martial arts with Father Liu and the others when I have free time.
Liu Guangyuan's family has been in the Liu family for four generations, and they have already adopted the surname Liu. Although they are servants, the Liu family now treats them as their own family. As for the other servants, they have long since left to find their own way.
.
When Liu Haojia opened the door and went out, he realized that it was already midnight, so he was not surprised to see his father and brother exercising in the yard.
Although his father said he didn't know how to run a business and wasn't good at running camps, he was very good at practicing the martial arts inherited from his family! Although he was already in his forties, his physical strength was at its peak! He was swinging a stone lock around.
, lying down with sweat all over his body running down his back, shining in the sunshine!
His eldest brother's figure is similar to that of his father. He has already developed a lot of muscle in his teenage years! His whole body was tanned by the sun, making him look particularly strong!
He was also playing with the stone locks like his father, but he couldn't swing them yet. He could only hold two small stone locks and keep lifting them to exercise the strength of his arms!
When Father Liu heard the door knock, he turned around and saw his old son coming out. He couldn't help but smile on his face! The Liu family had passed down the family for several generations, and it was finally over when he came to his place! Although the glory left by his ancestors has declined, at any rate
With two root seedlings, you are worthy of your ancestors!
So he dropped the stone lock and said, "Xiaoer, how do you feel today? Does your head still hurt?"
Liu Runze had already adapted to Liu Haojia's identity. He nodded obediently and said, "I've met my father, I've met my brother! My head doesn't hurt anymore!"
At this time, Liu Haojia's brother also put down the stone lock and came over and said, "That's good! If you rest for a day or two, you can follow your father's lead and exercise!"
Father Liu slapped his eldest son in the face and said: "What a hard work! The second son will have to study in the future! Now the status of us warriors has become lower and lower, and only studying is the serious way! If the second son can study, he will be successful.
, maybe our family can change from military to civilized! No, it should be equal emphasis on civilized and military!"
Liu Haonian laughed twice and said nothing. However, he agreed with his father's statement. The road for warriors is getting narrower and narrower now! If the second brother succeeds in studying, he might be able to give him a leg up!
At this time, Liu's father continued: "Xiao Er, since you've gotten up, quickly wash up and then go to your mother's place to leave breakfast for you!"
At this time, Liu Runze was already hungry, so he naturally agreed after hearing what Liu's father said. Then he went to the basin under the courtyard wall to wash up, and then he reluctantly said to me with water drops on his face.
Walk to the main house.
Before he could enter the door, his mother, Liu Zhang, had already come out. After seeing Liu Runze, she took a few steps forward, touched his head and said, "My son, do you still have a headache today?"
