Fortunately, Liu Zhang's family had an unobstructed view of this matter, and after noticing that Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law's appearance was in the way, the Liu family also sent someone to ask for an explanation, and naturally inquired about this matter clearly.

"If something hadn't happened, would you have been able to agree to this marriage in her family? We didn't calculate, we didn't inquire carefully, we only listened to the good ones, but we forgot to ask why such conditions would favor our family. Everyone knows that Brother Xiang is going to move out and live another life after getting married. ”

Liu Zhang's face flashed a trace of unbearability, she is really not a ruthless person, but she will not burden the debt for the fault of others: "I heard that it was an accident, I startled the horse when I rode in the carriage, and the others were fine, at most there were some bruises on her body, but she was pouring tea for her grandmother at the time, and she knocked on the table without paying attention." It didn't matter what was next to him, but he knocked out his two front teeth. ”

Speaking of which, he is also an unfortunate person.

Liu Dong'er was a little emotional, seeing that her mother's family was willing to cover her up, she knew that she still had some weight in her mother's house. But Lei'er didn't care with a face: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it may not be difficult for her to be so real." Think about the twin sisters of the eldest uncle's family, you can know that it is inconvenient that she was sent to someone else's house to be a concubine because she is beautiful? ”

"You talk a lot!" Liu Dong'er pretended to scold: "It's just plain in front of our eyes, and we will pay attention to it in front of others in the future." Although this uncle is in Luzhou City, the eldest aunt is still at home!"

Lei'er knew she was wrong, and stuck out her tongue, just about to say something, not wanting to make a big noise from the door.

"What's going on? who's in there?" Now is not the time to pretend to be stupid, Liu Dong'er scolded with a straight face.

The most feminine of these things is done by Liu Zhang's family, but Liu Zhang's nature, Liu Dong'er no longer has any hope.

Soon, the maidservant girl entered, and her face was not the best, and she was a little frightened. And behind the maid is Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law who has just left. "What's going on?" Liu Zhang's hadn't really come over, but Liu Dong'er's expression was clear. No matter what, her daughter is unhappy, and of course she has to stand on her daughter's side as a mother. No one thought that before Liu Zhang's words fell, Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law knelt in front of them with a "poof", and tears fell casually: "Mother, please, be considerate of us, don't drive us away, okay? We will definitely honor you well in the future." ”

Liu Dong'er has experienced too many things, and even compassion is left. If I just listened to Liu Zhang's words and felt a little sympathy for Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law, then now I only have resentment left.

That's right, resentment.

What do you mean, be considerate of them?

What is it called, don't drive them away?

Unless there is no son-in-law at home, it is reasonable for the concubine to live separately after marriage. How did it get to the mouth of Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law, but it became Liu Zhang's unkindness?

"Please, big sister, help us say something. This Brother Xiang doesn't know how to do it, in the past, he was just doing things in the shop at home, if we leave the house, how can this go on?"

Liu Dong'er kept silent with a cold face, but she was obviously angry. Brother Hao in her arms watched a few people chatting excitedly, although she couldn't hear clearly, she could feel the feelings from her mother. At this moment, Liu Dong'er was a little angry, and even Brother Hao also tensed his nerves, and he cried out with a "wow" after enduring it for a while.

Without waiting for Liu Dong'er to understand, Lei'er snatched Brother Hao from her arms, put him on her lap, and teased him face to face: "What's wrong with Brother Hao? Obediently, Auntie is porridge for you, by the way, do you remember Auntie? We were at the Hot Spring Zhuangzi before, and Auntie always took you to play." ”

Brother Hao himself cried because he was uneasy, not because he was injured or sick, so he was interrupted by Lei'er, and he was confused to pay attention to it. Previously, Lei'er was very porridge Brother Hao, and often took him to play together, although she hadn't seen each other for a while, but Brother Hao remembered her.

"Auntie!"

"Yes, it's my aunt, Brother Hao is really good, it's good to be my aunt's son. ”

"What about the belly, what about my aunt's belly?" Brother Hao'er had a good impression, and he also had an impression of Lei'er's previous pregnancy with a big belly, and at this time he stretched out his little hand and gently poked Lei'er's belly, with a suspicious face.

Lei'er just wanted to coax Brother Hao not to cry, but at this time she was amused by Brother Hao'er's words, and immediately stood up with Brother Hao in her arms: "Brother Hao is too smart and clear, I still remember my aunt's belly." Come, auntie tell you......"

While talking, Lei'er didn't forget to give Liu Dong'er a look, signaling herself to coax Brother Hao'er, as for the side matters, she didn't join.

In fact, Lei'er is a very smart person, but she has been pampered since she was a child, although she is a daughter, but the level of being favored in the Liu family is not inferior to Brother Rui'er. In addition, its nature is a bit straightforward, and some words are inevitably unpleasant. Fortunately, she is self-aware, but whenever she encounters something she can't handle, she will take the initiative to avoid it.

Just like this one.

Seeing that Lei'er went to the room with Brother Hao in her arms, Liu Dong'er no longer needed to cover up anything.

"You go out first. After sending the maidservant girl away, Liu Dong'er looked at Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law who was kneeling on the ground with a calm face, and smiled coldly: "What do you want to do? Maybe you can directly state your purpose." ”

Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law was a little pale, and with Liu Dong'er's extremely cold demeanor and impossible tone, it seemed like Liu Dong'er was bullying her. It's a pity that the only bystander present is Liu Zhang, but she wouldn't think so.

Trembling and looking at Liu Zhang's: "Mother, I really don't have any other thoughts, I just hope to do my filial piety in front of you." ”

Liu Zhang did not speak, but Liu Dong'er scolded in a more cold tone: "Do your filial piety? What kind of identity are you, how can you be filial to my mother? I am the eldest daughter of the Liu family, I have a younger sister and a younger brother, if you want to be filial to the elder, we naturally have us, when will it be your turn?"

If it has nothing to do with herself, Liu Donger will still feel two sentences, but once she has something to do with herself, she will not have the peace of mind of watching the show. Fortunately, the distinction between the concubines and the concubines is over there, not to mention that due to Han Ziye's reasons, Liu Dong'er's status is much higher than that of Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law, so there are some things that can be said without concealment.

"Eldest sister, I really just want to do my filial piety by my mother's side, no matter what, Brother Xiang also has to call his mother, I am his daughter-in-law, these things are my duty!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong'er almost laughed angrily: "I heard that you are also the concubine of the official eunuch...... Well, I don't bother to tell you. Mother, I am going to invite them to leave after the Lantern Festival, right?"

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and nodded casually: "That's it, I said that we would have a Lantern Festival together in the end." ”

Having said that, both Liu Donger and Liu Zhang know that the Lantern Festival must be their own way, and the so-called last festival together is just a gimmick, and it is more beautiful to say.

But the problem is that Liu Dong'er and Liu Zhang's are clear, but Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law has a look of incomprehension.

Maybe, who knows if she is pretending not to understand?

"Please, we are happy to do everything, and I beg Mother not to kick us out of the house. If it is heard by people who don't know the inside story, maybe they will be on the road, and they will feel how unfortunate Brother Xiang and his wife are, and how tyrannical and cold-blooded Liu Dong'er mother and son are.

But what about the facts?

"Dong'er, this ......" Liu Zhang was a little timid, she was not a noisy person, if she didn't have Liu Dong'er by her side, she would still close the door and thank the guests, but now she looked at Liu Dong'er with an embarrassed face.

Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law is not a stupid person, she naturally saw this scene, and she had a calculation in her heart at the moment.

"Eldest sister, I have long heard that you are the most kind person and care about filial piety. You and your sister are married, so it's inconvenient for us to do our filial piety for you!"

With a knife thrown over, if Liu Dong'er was really angry, even Han Ziye wouldn't dare to provoke her, let alone this teenage lady. Even if there are some scheming, most of them are just jealous and so on.

Liu Dong'er really didn't want to see her in general, she would be an outsider in ten days, and she didn't add to her anger during the New Year. But Liu Donger just doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is not a person who is afraid of trouble. If this trouble finds her again and again, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

"Do you want to do your filial piety? But have you ever asked your elders what they need from you? Could it be that you don't know that the existence of the concubine is just to cause trouble to your mother-in-law? Or do you think that your filial piety is very precious? Precious enough that the Liu family can support you idlers?"

Because of Liu Man'er's involvement, Liu Dong'er has always been very hostile to concubines. She didn't have much feeling about Brother Xiang'er, and she didn't have much contact with her. But no matter how you can't stand the other party from playing like this, if she comes up and shouts directly, it will be fine, and she will make such a hypocritical demeanor, as if everyone in the universe owes her.

"No, we really will be filial to our mother. What's more, if we are kicked out, there is really only one end point! Brother Xiang doesn't know how to eat other food, and my dowry is very small, but it just so happens that I don't have the means to eat food, how should I live in the future? Mother, eldest sister, if you drive us out, you will really force us to death!"

Crying with tears, if it has nothing to do with you, how much should you have? Isn't there a little more talk after dinner?

Liu Dong'er has nothing to say, she doesn't understand what you said, and what she said makes you feel deformed and troublesome, how can you talk about this? Liu Dong'er really thinks that she should bring the doll with her, not leave the doll at the Han family and maintain Han Xi's pulse.

This show only met Bing Youliang who couldn't explain it, and he only had a bandit like a doll who grabbed his sleeves without saying a word, so he was angry to deal with her.

"Forget it, let's go have lunch in winter. ”

Liu Dong'er's helplessness was naturally seen by Liu Zhang's eyes, she couldn't bear to embarrass Liu Dong'er, not to mention that Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law made a mistake. It was the decision of the second master of the Liu family to let Brother Xiang separate, although he had discussed it with the Liu Zhang family in advance, but in fact, even if the Liu Zhang family vetoed it, it was useless, and the decision made by the second master of the Liu family would not care about what other people had.

Liu Dong'er is also clear about this, and after thinking about it, she didn't say much, in the end, it would be enough for one of her married daughters to say a few words in her mother's room, if she added too much, not to mention it, I am afraid that the second master of the Liu family will also have to have a point of view.

At that moment, he took Liu Zhang's hand: "Okay, let's go to the front hall to eat first." ”

"Then dare to be good, let's go and call Lei'er. Liu Zhang just said that, in addition to not wanting Liu Dong'er to be annoyed, he really gave Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law a step down. But if there is such a thing as a step, if the other party is reasonable, it is naturally good, if the mother ...... said that the eldest sister and the younger sister should not wait for a trip home, they will naturally take care of it first. Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law wiped the tears on her face: "I'll go and call my lover here, and our family will get together." Liu Dong'er looked at her dumbfounded, this Liu family's family banquet has always been not called Brother Xiang'er, not only in the past few years, even if the first few years of the Chinese New Year's Eve, at most it is called Liu Man'er. It can be said that Brother Xiang has always been an invisible person to the Liu family.

I thought it would be fine, but I didn't want to, but when the family banquet came first, Brother Xiang and his wife both arrived. The handmaidens did stop it, but Brother Xiang did not live separately, he was still the master of the Liu family, as a subordinate, the handmaidens did not dare to intercept it too much, not to mention that they really couldn't stop Brother Xiang from such a big man.

"What happened?"

Listening to the news inside, the second master of the Liu family spoke dissatisfiedly. Although it is said that this is a family banquet, but the two sons-in-law are here, Brother Rui'er's way out is also bright, his mood is excellent, and naturally impatience has something to disturb him.

Liu Zhang's mother and daughter are clear about this, but it is difficult to say it clearly.

Especially Liu Dong'er and Lei'er, as married daughters, on the one hand, it is not easy to join their parents' family, and on the other hand, they are not detailed about their mother's family and are embarrassed in front of their belovers. Even if Liu Dong'er knew that Han Ziye didn't care, she didn't want to see that the Liu family couldn't even manage a concubine.

But the news inside became more and more exaggerated, and the expression on the face of the second master of the Liu family became more and more embarrassed, and Liu Zhang's couldn't help but open his mouth: "Brother Xiang'er, right? I heard that we have a family banquet here, and I expect to want to include it." ”

It's good that Liu Zhang's family didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, the second master of the Liu family suddenly became angry.

If it's an ordinary family banquet, it's fine, and it's normal for the concubine to be on the table. But now there are two sons-in-law present, and the son-in-law has a great future, if it is to let a concubine serve the table, wouldn't it ......

There is one thing that few people know.

Although Brother Xiang is the son of the second master of the Liu family, he was not born in the Liu family at the beginning. Brother Xiang'er's biological mother Ju He was the personal maid next to Liu Zhang's side, but she climbed into the bed of the second master of the Liu family. This is nothing, and this kind of thing is common in large households. The destruction was destroyed in the fact that Ju He had already been given to Liu Dong'er, and as the maid of Miss Liu's wife, this climbed into the bed of the second master of the Liu family......

In short, Ju He was sent to the quiet Zhuangzi at that time, and it was not until more than a year and a half that he returned to Liu's house with Brother Xiang, who was almost a year old at the time.

Therefore, the Liu family recognized Brother Xiang at the beginning, firstly because Brother Xiang looked too much like the second master of the Liu family, and secondly, because the Zhuangzi treated by Ju He belonged to the Liu family, and he did not notice the abnormality after repeated questioning.

But even so, Brother Xiang is not a child to look forward to, Liu Zhang's family doesn't like him, although the second master of the Liu family does not have any evidence, but there is a thorn in his heart, plus an excellent sister-in-law Brother Rui......

Brother Xiang is a sad urge, from birth to the present.

It's okay if it's just like this, Liu Zhang is not a mean person, no matter how much the second master of the Liu family is sick, it is also Brother Xiang's biological father. Although it will not be possible to stay in the Liu family, at least there will be a good installation fee at that time.

"Forget it for the New Year, since everyone is here, why don't you eat together?" The one who spoke was Lei'er's lover, although he was a businessman, but he looked like an inkman, and his speech was relatively relaxed.

"That's the reason, father-in-law, why don't you let them in?" Although Han Ziye felt Liu Dong'er's uneasiness, he still spoke and persuaded him. At the same time, he handed Liu Dong'er a look to signal her to feel at ease.

To put it bluntly, Liu Dong'er has nothing to worry about, she is a concubine at her mercy. It was the Liu family who was unkind to the concubine, but it had nothing to do with her.

After Brother Xiang and his wife entered, Liu Dong'er didn't think so.

"Father, mother. ”

As soon as they entered the door, Brother Xiang and his daughter-in-law knelt directly in front of everyone, the others were fine, but Lei'er and Brother Rui couldn't sit still. No matter how low Brother Xiang'er's status is, in terms of blood, Brother Xiang has not been separated, he is still the young master of the Liu family, and he is also the elder brother of Lei'er and Brother Rui.

The second master of the Liu family, who was a little annoyed, saw that Lei'er, who had always been favored, and Brother Rui, who had a far-reaching way out, stood up and avoided it with a look of embarrassment, and then pulled his face to the elder.

Liu Dong'er can sit still, she is the eldest sister, not to mention that Brother Xiang and his wife worship Zhengzhong, not directly at her. But even so, Liu Dong'er's state of mind is also not good.

Only, compared with the second master of the Liu family, Liu Dong'er's sincerity is nothing.

"What do you want to do here? In the first month, you are crying, or in front of the two aunts! What is the meaning of this? Am I treating you badly?" The second master of the Liu family is already surprisingly indignant at this time, he is already a very decent person. The two daughters-in-law are well married, and both have sons for their husbands' families, and the only sister-in-law is even more outstanding, not only among the best, but also heard that he was commended by Emperor Taizu in the palace examination.

In relation to the three outstanding sons and daughters-in-law, the concubines are not perfect.

The concubine is very excessive, so that he lost face and didn't say anything, and even some of them were tired of the eldest daughter, and now that there are no more people, it is useless to say more. This concubine used to look good, although he didn't have any talent, but at least he didn't embarrass his family. But some time ago, when he was in the room, because he made some friends with wine and meat, he exposed all the secrets of the family, which made him lose face once.

Finally chose to forget about it, the concubine did not pack his bags at home, ran to the family banquet, and was especially good at picking a good time. When he returned to his parents' house on the second day of the first lunar month, he didn't take his daughter-in-law to his father-in-law's house, what was the pestle going to do in front of his eyes?

"Fathers and mothers, children are useless. ”

Brother Xiang is not a sharp-toothed person, if he was raised by his biological mother, it would be fine, but it happened that because of some of Ju He's actions, the second master of the Liu family was the most disgusted, and directly gave Brother Xiang to the great-aunt Bi'er who had never been born. This aunt Zeng is the son of a family, and she knows everything about Ju He at a glance, and she also knows that she can't rely on Brother Xiang at all. Therefore, I have never paid attention to Brother Xiang'er. Although he did not treat Brother Xiang harshly, he only took care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he didn't say a word about what he should say or shouldn't say. Now, Brother Xiang looks like he has grown up, but because he has experienced few things, he has not read any books, and he does not understand the slippery face. It doesn't matter if there is no one to instruct him, but once someone says something in his ear, he is very instigated by leisure.

The second master of the Liu family was already very unhappy, and when he heard Brother Xiang'er's disguised recognition, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Although he himself admits that he doesn't care much about this concubine, he doesn't think he's sorry for him, at least he has never treated him harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Moreover, it is customary for this concubine to separate after getting married, unless there is no concubine, or the environment where the concubine is away from home for many years, such as the Han family.

But the Liu family is not such an environment, Brother Rui has the best knowledge, and there is no end to it in the future. Although the two concubines are married, they are both in the capital, and they usually go back to their parents' homes from time to time. The two sons-in-law, one in politics and the other in business, not to mention that they will sponsor Brother Rui in the future, but at least they will not be tired.

That's enough, the Liu family has never needed Brother Xiang'er.

Thinking about the New Year, the second master of the Liu family didn't want to make a big fuss, so he miscalculated the concubine and his wife, and he, who was a father, could not escape the obligation of teaching a lesson.

"Rise first. Speaking lightly, although the second master of the Liu family said that his face was expressionless, his eyes were extremely cold.

Brother Xiang and his daughter-in-law didn't know the second master of the Liu family, and when they saw that the second master of the Liu family was not as angry as just now, they thought that the method had worked. After a slight hesitation, the two stood up one after another.

"Sit down, y'all. This was said to Lei'er and Rui'er, who had just avoided it.

Lei'er and Brother Rui glanced at each other, they were twins, their relationship since childhood was excellent, and the tacit understanding between the two was better than that of ordinary sisters and brothers. After discussing the countermeasures without leaving a mark, the two sat down, Lei'er hung her head and said nothing, but Brother Rui'er looked straight at her brother-in-law.

The second master of the Liu family asked the maids to withdraw, while examining Brother Xiang and his wife, while thinking: "Brother Xiang, what do you want to do?"

But Brother Xiang'er's exposition made the second master of the Liu family the most disappointed.

"Father, I ......" glanced at the second master of the Liu family, to tell the truth, he can't be blamed, Brother Xiang has grown up to this age, in fact, the time he spends with the second master of the Liu family is very small. Coupled with the fact that he was neglected since he was a child, he inevitably developed the nature of a coward now.

Strictly speaking, Brother Xiang is not as cowardly as Han Xi, but Han Xi is a daughter, and she is deeply distressed by her mother and eldest brother, even if she is a coward, she will not be disliked. Brother Kexiang......

"Say, I'll let you speak, I'll give you the opportunity to say, just say whatever you want. ”

If Brother Xiang had the intention of talking just now, when he heard such an extremely cold language as the second master of the Liu family, he was too frightened to speak anymore. tremblingly looked at his daughter-in-law beside him, then lowered his head and stopped talking. The appearance of this nest made the green tendons on the forehead of the second master of the Liu family jump straight.

Although Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law is also a concubine, her status in her mother's family is not bad, but she is not as cowardly as Brother Xiang.

"We just want to stay at home. ”

Liu Dong'er lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes, if it was someone else, it would be fine, but it happened to be in front of the second master of the Liu family. This second master of the Liu family is the least porridge in his life, and others interject for no reason, especially since the other party is still an insignificant woman in his eyes.

"Haohao!"

As soon as Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law's words fell, the second master of the Liu family yelled. Soon, he realized that the time and place were wrong, and the New Year was in front of his two sons-in-law, and he really shouldn't be so out of shape. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two people in front of him were an eyesore. Brother Xiang'er, his son, but the woman ......

"Hmph, being a descendant but not respecting the elder, and questioning the elder's decision, do you want me to expel you?"

Brother Xiang looked up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

After this concubine got married, he lived separately, and he was expelled from the door by the head of the family, which are two things with really different meanings.

The former can only be regarded as a single pass, with no economic advantages, but it is still a relative. The latter is discredited and will have no contact with his family in the future.

What the second master of the Liu family said was indeed too severe, and it was a pity that everyone present did not understand it at all. Like Liu Zhang's face, he was a little unbearable, and the two uncles had nothing to do with themselves, but Liu Dong'er and the three of their sisters and brothers all had strange expressions on their faces.

All of this was seen by Brother Xiang, although he knew since he was a child that he was not ordinary with his sons and daughters, but he had not made such a direct comparison before. Liu Dong'er didn't say anything, their age gap was over there. And Brother Rui and Leier have been the objects of his fascination since childhood. Usually he hides in the corner alone, calmly watching the interaction and care of the dragon and phoenix siblings and their parents, and occasionally he even dreams about whether one day, he can also become one of them.

But as I get older, the things I couldn't see through when I was a child are now a little clearer.

But what has not happened, coupled with the instruction of the newlywed daughter-in-law, Brother Xiang is determined to fight. Of course, the whole reason for this is that Brother Xiang really doesn't have the ability to eat.

"Father, please don't do this, I don't understand anything, if you kick me out, I'm really at the end of the road!"

Looking at the tearful concubine, the second master of the Liu family was still a little moved in his heart. But casually he remembered what he had discussed with Liu Zhang's family before, and suddenly lost his anger: "What are you talking about? Will I let you leave the house? You can naturally get a settling-in allowance, although the future life will not be as good as before, but it will not make you worry about survival, right?"

is this principle, the Liu family has now become a eunuch family again because of Brother Rui. But after they moved to the capital before, the main income was not the salary of the second master of the Liu family in the government school, but from the parents' inheritance of the second master of the Liu family, as well as the dowry of the Liu Zhang family.

Let's put it this way, in terms of money, the Liu family is a middle-class giant family in the capital. So Brother Xiang is not a son-in-law, but the settlement fee will not be too small at that time.

In the capital, the average old common people are calculated as a family of five, and if it is only for eating, drinking, and chewing, three taels of silver is enough for a year. This is still in the capital, if you move to the suburbs of the city, buy a small courtyard house for a farmhouse, and then buy a thin field to plant some vegetables and fruits to subsidize the family, for fear that you don't have to spend two taels of silver a year.

Of course, this is just a very basic way to eat, drink, and chew, if it is regarded as buying clothes, furniture, children's schooling, and even rouge, gouache, gold, silver and gold ornaments for women, then the money cannot be estimated.

If you don't get it right, it's normal to spend thousands of taels a year.

"How much does my father want to give me a settling-in allowance?" If you want to say that Brother Xiang'er really doesn't have any city mansion, too, although he is a concubine, but the difference between him and his daughter-in-law is that the former is honestly staying in the side courtyard, although the share is not as good as that of the concubine, but it is only slightly less than the concubine. The latter was raised by his mother-in-law since he was a child, and his status was high, but he was afraid that his life would not be as worried as he was by his biological mother's side.

The second master of the Liu family didn't expect Brother Xiang to ask so directly, and he was choked at the moment.

endured and endured, thinking about the Chinese New Year, and there were two more aunts there, the second master of the Liu family forcibly suppressed his personality and did not break out: "Most people in the capital do not give a settlement fee, but just let the concubine take away the share he has saved since childhood." I can't treat you either, you can take everything in your room with you, including your share of all these years, and I'll give it to you...... a hundred taels of silver. ”

Hearing the second master of the Liu family say this, Liu Zhang raised his head in slight surprise, but she did not speak.

As soon as Liu Dong'er saw Liu Zhang's expression, she knew that the second master of the Liu family had changed the amount that had been negotiated before. Come to think of it, a decent person like the second master of the Liu family is unwilling to fall in front of the two uncles. What's more, a hundred taels of silver is not a lot, and the Liu family really can afford it.

I don't want to, others think that this amount is too much, but Brother Xiang doesn't think so.

"A hundred taels of silver......? How is this enough? I went to inquire about the house next to it, which one doesn't want a few hundred taels?"

As soon as he heard this, the second master of the Liu family was almost angry.

Even if the Liu family did not move to the area where the eunuchs were clustered because there was no one in the house, the Liu family's financial resources were not weak, so they moved to the area where the families of rich traders are now located.

And the house here is naturally not like a mansion like a high-ranking family, and it is not as good as the ancestral house of the Liu family in Luzhou City. But after all, this house is a big house with five entrances, the population of the Liu family is not large, although Lei'er was not engaged at the time, but her age is over there, Brother Rui has to think about it, but the Liu family is such a brother to put it bluntly. In addition, when the second master of the Liu family moved to the capital, he disbanded the concubine in the room, leaving only one Bi'er who wanted to take care of Brother Xiang.

Therefore, this house is still enough.

As for the Liu family?

Don't make a fuss, the smallest one is also a three-entry house. The Liu family's current house has cost three thousand taels, and the three-entry house is much smaller than the five-entry house, but eight or nine hundred taels are still needed. It's not that the Liu family can't afford this money now, but why should they pay so much for their concubine? Thinking like this, the second master of the Liu family naturally didn't look good: "Brother Xiang, you have two choices now. First, according to what I said, everything in your room belongs to you, a hundred taels of silver for settling. Second, you can leave now, take your daughter-in-law and leave immediately, from now on, you Liu Xiang and I have nothing to do with it. ”

Brother Xiang looked at the second master of the Liu family with a shocked face, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. And his daughter-in-law was really dumbfounded, only the tears in her eyes couldn't be controlled.

In the end, it was Brother Rui who played a round: "Brother, you still bring your sister-in-law back, and think about your future life." ”

Brother Xiang'er's face moved, but the person did not turn.

The second master of the Liu family was even more indignant: "What's the matter? Do you want to choose the latter? Okay, I'll ask someone to throw you out now!"

With this thought, it is a shame to have an unfilial son in the family, but if it is a concubine, it will not be much criticized. This concubine was born to a concubine, and what is a concubine? A servant who has sold herself! What can be a good child born to a servant seedling?

As for what you're worried about, hehe, I'm afraid few people will care, right?

Brother Xiang is clear about these things, he is useless, and he still went to his own shop to learn some things when he became an adult. It's just that the real skill is that he hasn't learned at all, and maybe the work in the shop deceives him as a concubine, so he doesn't have to teach him, right?

But no matter what, Brother Xiang finally knew that he would not get the result he wanted today. I had the heart to say a few more words, but under the eyes of the second master of the Liu family, he finally retreated. And Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law, although she looked unwilling, but thinking of the severity of the second master of the Liu family just now, she didn't dare to speak.

After the two left, the family banquet finally came first.

But this is the second day of the first lunar month, which is the colder time of the year. Although the dishes were steaming when they first came up, they were delayed for so long by Brother Xiang and his wife, and they were afraid that it was already extremely cold at this time.

Let the maidservant serve the dishes down and heat them up, and this belated family feast will come first.

The others are not determined, they have all been full before, and they also used some refreshments to pad their stomachs before the family banquet, but in the eyes of the second master of the Liu family, it is not like that. Liu Dong'er knows him very well, the more the second master of the Liu family suppresses it at this time, and after they all leave, I am afraid that the outbreak will be more powerful.

So what?

The most important thing for people is not ambition, but also self-knowledge. If you don't have that ambition, at most you can live a peaceful life, but if you don't have self-knowledge, even if you get power and property, you can only end up in a miserable situation.

Liu Dong'er's guess was not bad at all, and after they left, the second master of the Liu family broke out, of course, this matter was what she heard Liu Zhang say later.

The second master of the Liu family and the Liu Zhang family discussed that after the Lantern Festival, they would be invited to leave on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. When the time comes, the Liu family will also send a carriage to see them off, and will let the housekeeper follow, and buy a small house in a quiet place in the capital on the outskirts of the city, which can be regarded as helping to settle down.

But it was negotiated!

On the same day, the second master of the Liu family forced Brother Xiang and his wife to repair the things in their room, and did not let the maids assist, only saying that they would not need the maidservants in the future. The carriage is ready-made, it is almost dusk, even if they are driven out at this time, there is no way to find a place to stay, the second master of the Liu family is not so ruthless, but he ruthlessly reported to Brother Xiang'er and left early tomorrow morning.

Brother Xiang was stunned, he didn't know why he had fallen into this realm instead.

It is Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law who can't take over this fact. In fact, Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law's maiden family is not so easy. It can also be said to the outside world, the grandmother has five sons under her knees, but she does not have a biological daughter, so she wants to be raised. But in fact, it is indeed a happy thing to tease the grandson, but to bring up the eldest child in person, especially the child who has no blood relationship with him but is the child of his own beloved......

can only say this, Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law's mother-in-law is a very dazzling and capable person, she knows that she is no longer in her prime, and she knows that her lover loves her beautiful concubine, so she insisted that she had no daughter under her knees, and forcibly asked her to come over. Coincidentally, there are clear rules in the law of this dynasty, if the concubine is raised in front of the eldest and possible mother-in-law, her status will be higher, and therefore, neither her father nor her biological mother can refuse.

What's next?

On the surface, she is spoiled, and she is kind to her in every way, but behind her back she is killing, teaching her to use tears to show weakness, teaching her to dare to fight against injustice, teaching her to respect her elders and even her husband's family, and teaching her to ......
