Chapter 430 My Charming Ancestor 1
Zhang Xintong slept a lot during her pregnancy, so Ying Zheng didn't sleep yesterday, and the two fell asleep quickly.
After Ying Zheng got up early and went to court, Zhang Xintong returned to the modern era and told Zhang Wen and Song Ling about going to Qin State to celebrate the New Year.
"Mom and Dad, we've already made an agreement with Ying Zheng. You don't have to kneel down to anyone when we get there. We'll just celebrate the New Year there, and you can just treat it as a trip to Qin State."
"Okay, let's dress up and go on a trip to Qin State."
"Hahahahahahahahahaha"
The three people in the room laughed non-stop
On the day of the palace banquet, Zhang Wen, Song Ling and Zhang Xintong arrived early, and Ying Zheng had already ordered people to prepare their clothes.
Zhang Wen and Song Ling would be lying if they said they weren't excited; this was the real ancient times! Zhang Xintong had been to many worlds, and although she wasn't excited, she could understand their feelings.
After the three of them changed their clothes, Ying Zheng personally took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to visit the Qin Palace.
Several people strolled in the Qin Palace. The magnificent palace and exquisite gardens, every inch of land was filled with a strong historical atmosphere. This place was once the political center of the Qin Dynasty and one of the birthplaces of the ancient imperial system.
Song Ling whispered to Zhang Xintong:
"Your father and I have also visited the Qin Palace. It's really magnificent."
"Mom, not only do you have Qin Shi Huang as your tour guide, but you don't even have to pay for tickets. Isn't your daughter amazing?"
"Awesome, awesome, the best!"
The palace banquet was held in the afternoon, which is around 4 pm in modern time.
Ying Zheng sat in the seat at the top. He wanted Zhang Xintong to sit with him, but Zhang Xintong was afraid that Zhang Wen and Song Ling would not be able to adapt, so she sat with them on Ying Zheng's right.
The Qin Dynasty respected the right, and Ying Zheng's mother, Queen Zhao Ji, should be on his right, but Zhao Ji was imprisoned in the Aiyang Palace in Yongcheng, so Zhang Xintong and her family sat on the right.
Ying Zheng had no concubines in this life, and there was no one else in the palace, so his left hand was empty.
The court officials sat below, in order of rank.
The palace banquet soon began, and plates of exquisite dishes were served. Zhang Wen and Song Ling took a few bites and stopped eating. The food was not very tasty, not as good as Song Ling's.
During their conversations with Emperor Ying Zheng and his ministers, the family of three met famous historical figures including Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Si, Wei Liao, Dun Ruo, and Yao Jia.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben: Father and son, Wang Jian and Wang Ben were key generals in Qin's campaign against the six states. Wang Jian independently conquered Chu and Zhao, while Wang Ben independently conquered Wei and Qi.
"Meng Tian and Meng Yi": Meng Tian was a famous military general who defeated the Huns in the north and built the Great Wall, while Meng Yi held an important position in the court and was deeply trusted by Qin Shihuang.
Li Si: As an advisor to Qin Shi Huang, Li Si played an important role in Qin's legal system and political decision-making, but was eventually framed and killed by Zhao Gao.
Wei Liao was a strategist of the Qin State. He proposed the strategy of using money to bribe the powerful officials of the six states and made important contributions to the unification of the Qin State.
"Dun Ruo and Yao Jia": Dun Ruo and Yao Jia were both strategists skilled in rhetoric and espionage, and they also played an important role in the political and military activities of the Qin State.
These civil and military officials each demonstrated their strengths and jointly helped Qin Shihuang accomplish the great cause of unifying the six kingdoms.
No ministers were willing to trouble Zhang Xintong's family. They were all cunning and would never bother to cause trouble. Zhang Xintong was the only woman in Ying Zheng's harem, and she was pregnant. No one would offend Ying Zheng at this time.
The atmosphere at the palace banquet was always very good, and there was a dance performance by dancers, which Song Ling and Zhang Xintong watched with great interest.
"Tongtong, if these dancers were in our place, they would definitely be big stars! They're all so beautiful!"
“Yes, they are all beautiful.”
Zhang Wen and Song Ling were very happy and had a good experience of the one-day trip to the Qin Palace.
The new year came quietly. Song Ling and Zhang Wen lived in the Qin Palace. Ying Zheng arranged them in a palace next to the Xianyang Palace. They had to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of both families on the second day of the New Year. Due to the time difference, they could only stay here for one day.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ying Zheng will also go with his father-in-law and mother-in-law to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Xintong's grandparents, and give the court officials three days off.
Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family of four went to Zhang Xintong's grandparents' house first. Song Ling has three sisters and two brothers. Zhang Xintong calls them uncle, aunt, uncle, and aunt respectively. Song Ling is two years younger than Zhang Xintong's uncle and is the second child in the family.
Zhang Xintong is also the second child. Her older brother from her eldest uncle's family is 21 years old and is still in college; her younger sister from her second aunt's family is 17 years old and is in high school; her younger sister from her eldest uncle's family is 15 years old and is in junior high school; and her younger brother from her eldest aunt's family is 12 years old and is in elementary school.
Her grandparents live with her eldest uncle. Song Ling has a good relationship with her brothers and sisters, and the five younger generations also have a good relationship.
The four people were surprised to see how big Zhang Xintong's belly was when she was pregnant.
"Sister, why are you pregnant?"
"Sister, your belly is so big, are you about to give birth?"
The youngest brother pointed at Ying Zheng and said:
"Sister, did he trick you into bed and get you pregnant?"
Zhang Xintong......
Zhang Xintong grabbed her brother's hand and kept complaining in her heart, "Brother! Do you know who you are referring to? That's your ancestor. You are so brave!"
"Brother, sister, little brother, this is my boyfriend. We'll have the wedding after the baby is born. You can call him brother-in-law or brother-in-law."
"brother-in-law"
"brother-in-law"
"brother-in-law"
"brother-in-law"
Ying Zheng gave each person a red envelope of 200 yuan as a gift. The gold he had prepared was confiscated by Zhang Xintong, who said that this was not acceptable and that gifts could not be given in this way.
Ying Zheng followed Zhang Xintong to greet his grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, aunt, and uncle-in-law one by one, without having to bow. Ying Zheng gave his grandma and grandpa a red envelope of 1000 yuan and bought things for other elders, all of which were prepared by Zhang Xintong.
The family of four had lunch at Zhang Xintong's grandparents' house and left. The young couple also received a lot of red envelopes.
Before dinner, the family of four went to Zhang Xintong's grandparents' house. The atmosphere there was not very good, as it was every year. The original owner had always been afraid to come to his grandparents' house.
Grandpa and grandma had their own small courtyard and did not live with the children. They had five sons and one daughter, and Zhang Wen was the fourth child. Zhang Xintong called them uncle, second uncle, third uncle, aunt, and uncle respectively.
The family has many sons, each with their own thoughts, but only one daughter, who has been spoiled since childhood. The one who is least loved by his father and mother is Zhang Wen, because he is the fourth child. Grandpa and grandmother paid more attention to the other children, but when it comes to the fourth child, they don't care. With fewer daughters, the younger sister-in-law is naturally favored, and the youngest uncle is also pampered because he is the eldest. Only Zhang Wen is ignored.
After the children grew up, Zhang Wen had no future and opened a small supermarket. Zhang Xintong's grandparents disliked him even more. Zhang Wen was like a nobody in the family.
When the family of four arrived, they found a quarrel going on in the house. The old couple were old and needed someone to take care of them. Several children wanted to take them home. It was not because they were filial, but because the old couple had a lot of properties and a lot of money, and no one wanted to give up.
