The Queen Mother’s cousin?
When Wei Yunyi heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.
In other words, he is a member of the Sun family in Yan, and a direct descendant.
Because he remembered that the previous head of the Sun family had no children, so after his death, he handed over power to his younger brother.
But shouldn't such a person be managing the family business?
It should be noted that the Sun family enjoyed extremely high prestige in Yan.
Their business spread all over the world, and only the gentry in wealthy places like Jiangnan could compare with them.
Moreover, Wei Yunyi knew very well that, unlike Jiangnan, the recognition of the Wei court in Yan was not very high. If it were not for the current queen mother, some of the court's policies would probably not be implemented.
This was the biggest reason why he insisted on letting Prince Yan go to his fiefdom.
Prince Yan is the grandson of the previous generation head of the Sun family.
You can use this identity.
Better control of Yan area.
Even in the original novel, the King of Yan's rebellion relied on the support of the major wealthy families in Yan and the Sun family.
And now, someone from the Sun family actually came to the palace to pay respects to the empress dowager.
It's a bit surprising.
Wei Yunyi smiled.
Without caring too much, he took Wang Jin and rushed to the Cining Palace.
Since someone from the Sun family has arrived, it's a good opportunity to meet him first and learn more about the current situation in Yan. I can also try to find out how far my brother has prepared for rebellion.
...
In the Cining Palace.
The palace maids were fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans and serving carefully on the side.
Empress Dowager Sun sat in the first seat, staring at a middle-aged man not far away, her face looking a little helpless.
But the middle-aged man was sitting there eating with hearty appetite. He had ruined almost all of the more than 20 delicacies on the table.
There were only a few plates of Yan-style pastries, but they were untouched and looked lonely.
"Zhang Kejian, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your taste has become much more refined. You didn't even eat a single bite of the pastries that I prepared for you personally." Seeing this, Empress Dowager Sun frowned and said directly.
Zhang Kejian wiped his mouth after hearing this and said, "There's nothing I can do. The food in the Central Plains is much better than that in Yandi. These cakes you made are tasteless. I'm not used to them anymore."
After saying that, he glanced at the leftovers on the table again and couldn't help swallowing.
Although I still want to eat, there is no way, my stomach is already full.
"Master Tang, you should call her Queen Mother!"
At this time, the old lady next to her came forward and said.
Now we are in the palace, unlike when we were in Yan. Everything must follow the rules. Even if he is the cousin of the empress dowager, he must do so.
As an elder in the Sun family, the old nanny was used to calling him Young Master, and she didn't know what other name to use.
Hearing this, Sun Kejian opened his mouth, but was speechless.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here."
Empress Dowager Sun shook her head. She knew that although the Sun family had a large business and strong clan consciousness, it was difficult for them to get used to the rules of the Central Plains. Even she herself had taken a long time to learn.
Immediately, she continued, "Sun Kejian, you've been in the capital for a few days now. When do you plan to return?"
"If you're leaving, let me know in advance and I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Yandi."
"go back?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Kejian said, "What's the point of going back? Get scolded every day? Forget it. I don't want to see that old man's face. It's boring!"
"Tang... Queen Mother, you don't know, the Central Plains is so much fun, especially the capital. There are so many new and interesting things, it's simply dazzling me. And that girl from Hongxiu Tower, tsk tsk, I have to go there every day, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable all over."
"So I decided not to go back. I want to stay in the capital. It's much better here than in Yandi!"
The first half of the sentence made Empress Dowager Sun's face turn black, and she started to curse immediately.
But the second half of the sentence made her feel slightly startled, and she couldn't help but ask, "What? You're not going back?"
"You are my only son. If you don't go back, what will happen to the family business? How will I explain this to the elders?"
Although the Sun family was wealthy and powerful, they had few descendants, especially male offspring.
Especially during the generation of Empress Dowager Sun.
Not to mention that the previous head of the family only had her as a daughter.
Even the current head of the family only has one son, who is still unmarried and spends every day in the secluded places...
Therefore, in the future, the Sun family’s assets must be handed over to his cousin, otherwise there will be no one to carry on the family business.
"Just explain it however you want." Sun Kejian touched his nose and said, "Didn't they say I have no talent for business? Aren't they dissatisfied with my losses in recent years? Then why am I still staying at home?"
"Are you lying about your business losses?" Empress Dowager Sun laughed instead of getting angry, then continued, "As far as I know, you've lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in business over the past two years. How dare you blame your uncle and the clan elders for blaming you?"
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount of money. It is only because the Sun family is so wealthy that they would not feel sorry for it.
If it were an ordinary noble family, their family would probably be destroyed.
But my cousin didn't care at all.
"Can you blame me for that?"
Sun Kejian also became angry and immediately retorted: "My original intention was to open up new business channels for the family, so I chose to cooperate with those grassland barbarians. Who knew that they would not only break their promise but also rob my goods several times!"
When he said this, his face was full of anger, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the grassland tribes stealing goods.
"The grassland tribes are the least trustworthy. Your uncle told you that back then."
