Chapter XXXIV: Genealogy
"He hasn't been on it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Niu replied to Qin Hanzhen neatly, as if he didn't think it was a big deal at all.
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but look at her with wide eyes, a little incomprehensible. Isn't Brother Zi'er the only male in the third generation of the Qin family?
Mama Hu explained to her: "This is what the master said, the rules handed down by the ancestors of the Qin family, the male in the family, the heirs of the descendants are on the spectrum when they are one year old, and the concubines must wait until they are eight years old, in good health, and only after they have opened the Mongolian family tree, if it is an outer room, they can't go to the family tree at all." ”
Isn't that right?
Qin Hanzhen said: "Isn't Brother Zi'er already three years old? "Although Mr. Qin and the Niu family always said that they couldn't recognize the He family's daughter-in-law, before Qin Ping and the Guan family had accidents, the He family's position seemed to be quite stable. Brother Zi'er is the heir of the grandson, and there is no reason why he can't go to the family tree when he is one year old.
Niu pouted and said: "It's not all his mother's sin! I think I'm smart, but I'm actually delaying the child." ”
Qin Hanzhen still couldn't understand, but thanks to Mama Hu's careful explanation, she figured out what was going on.
Soon after Qin An got married, he replaced his brother Qin Ping's promotion opportunity and took his wife He to Datong to settle down. In the years that followed, he rarely came home. There may be reasons for his busy business and long distance, but He is probably not less persuaded in it. Even when Qin An went home to visit relatives, the He family would always find an excuse to stay in Datong. Even if I go back to Mizhi, I won't stay long. Mr. Qin and the Niu family don't like this second daughter-in-law, in fact, it is not entirely because of the way she married into the Qin family, but more or less because of her style of dealing with people over the years after she started.
Four years ago, when He was pregnant, Qin An was very happy and immediately sent a letter to his parents in his hometown. Mr. Qin and the Niu clan were very happy, and even their usual disgust with the He clan was alleviated a little. In the Qin family, although the Guan family is the eldest daughter-in-law, she has not been born since she gave birth to Sister Sang. The Niu family didn't urge, after Guy Qin Ping gave up the opportunity for promotion, he has been stationed at the border post under the jurisdiction of Yulinwei, more than 100 miles away from home, it looks closer than his younger brother, but in fact, there is not much chance to go home. The couple can get together for a few days every year, that is, during the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Niu's knows the inside story, and he will not dislike his eldest daughter-in-law anything. But knowing that her second daughter-in-law was pregnant, she was still very happy.
Datong is thousands of miles away from rice fat, Mr. Qin has students to take care of, Niu's health is not good, and he can't bear the long journey, so he sent Uncle Hu and Mama Tiger to Datong to take care of He's production. But there are a lot of girls and mothers-in-law under the He family, and they don't know what to think, they seem to be a little wary of Uncle Hu's husband and wife, and they just leave them aside, and don't ask them to do any errands, only using their own habitual manpower.
Tiger Uncle and Mama don't care, just enjoy three months of leisure. Until the day of He's delivery, Uncle Hu was guarding outside the door of the main courtyard, and Mama Hu followed Wen Po into the delivery room, staring at He until she gave birth to Brother Zi. After Wen Po cleaned and wrapped Brother Zi'er, Mama Hu personally carried him out to show Qin An and Uncle Hu.
When the He family was out of confinement, Mama Hu left Datong and returned to Mizhi. Before leaving, he instructed Qin An and the He family that when Brother Zi'er turned one year old, he would take the child back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so that he could be given a family tree. Qin An promised well at that time, and He didn't say anything. Who knew that in the first year, they didn't go back, the second year, they didn't go back, the third year was this year, and they didn't come back, but Qin Ping had an accident in May, and He came back with his children to mourn, which can be regarded as a return. It's pitiful, this is the first time that Mr. Qin and the Niu couple have seen their grandson!
Niu sneered: "He always said that Brother Zi'er is weak, and he is afraid that there will be a good guy on the road, but in fact, Brother Zi'er is in good shape, follow his father." Not coming back is just an excuse for He, who is afraid that after coming back, he will have to set rules in front of my mother-in-law. It's ridiculous, who does she think I am?When did I toss my daughter-in-law?!"
Mama Tiger smiled and said, "What insight can she have? Why should Mrs. be angry with her? If she doesn't come back, Mrs. will still be at ease, and she won't have to pretend to be in front of you all the time." ”
Niu pouted: "Although I don't like her pretending, I still like my grandson." Brother Zi'er is three years old, I just saw the child, and I was thinking about worshipping my ancestors in the next year, so I gave him a family tree, but who knew that his mother sent him away without saying a word. Brother Zi'er has not yet been on the family tree, isn't it all delayed by his mother? But this is not a bad thing, just when I worshipped the ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, I asked the master to directly record Brother Zi'er's name under the name of Brother Ping's daughter-in-law, which is considered the grandson of the long house. As for Ho, I didn't like it when she first entered the door. When I found out where she came from, I hated it even more. If Brother An didn't have to marry her, I wouldn't want her to call me mother-in-law. originally planned to wait for Brother Zi'er to go to the family tree, and by the way, she would record her name, which could be regarded as giving Brother Zi'er's mother a name. Who knew that she was so ignorant, so this step would be saved. Brother Zi'er will be Brother Ping's child in the future, and Brother An is still beating singles!"
This can also be done?
Qin Hanzhen was a little ridiculous, and said honestly: "It's okay in our family, but when the He family comes back to mourn, there are already many people in Mizhi County who know that Brother Zi'er is her son, let alone in Datong City." How can such a thing be mixed up?"
Niu waved his hand: "Everything is subject to the family tree." As your grandfather said, a daughter-in-law who marries without telling is not a real daughter-in-law. When your second uncle married He, he didn't tell his family, so he was anxious to marry her. I rushed to your grandfather to stop him, but he didn't listen. Although the He family still entered the door, in the hearts of your grandfather and me, she cannot be regarded as the daughter-in-law of our Qin family. What they do in Datong, we are far away and can't care, but in our family, they don't recognize the He family. Although your second uncle is now a hundred-hundred When your second uncle can get it, the court will send someone to ask, and then the He family will not be able to mix it up. ”
Qin Hanzhen understood, but he had a new question: "What is the edict, why didn't the second uncle get it?"
Mama Hu explained: "If the court official has a grade, his wife and mother will have a seal. Those who are above the fifth rank are ordained, and those below the sixth rank are ordained. The second master is a military attache of the sixth grade, and according to the law, our wife and the second master's wife can be given an edict. It's just that for some reason, the second master has been working for a few years, but he hasn't been able to ask his wife for a seal, let alone the He family. The lord said that this is because of the second master's humble official position. If there are more than 100 households and general flags in the border cities, where can the imperial court be sealed? Only military attaches who have made great contributions, or who have a good family background and are appreciated by their superiors, can successfully apply for the seal. The uncle was a general flag during his lifetime, and he also had seven grades, and there was no edict. ”
Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, thinking that it was a good thing that the second uncle Qin An failed to ask for the edict for his mother and wife in time. If the He family has an edict in his body, I'm afraid that the Qin family won't be so easy to say that he won't recognize this daughter-in-law, right?
While speaking, Mr. Qin returned to the upper courtyard, lifted the curtain and entered the house, and asked Niu's: "Have you heard about it?" Whether it is dead or wounded, it must be brought back. ”
Niu Shi said disapprehantly: "What do you care about her?" She is now with her brother, and she has her brother's own cooking. It's not that we don't care about her, but she wants to run away by herself, and it has nothing to do with us. "She would rather He Shi die from an arrow, that would save her effort.
Mr. Qin sat on the chair next to the kang and stopped talking to his wife.
Mama Tiger saw his embarrassed expression, so she quietly gave Niu a look. Niu Shi was a little stupid: "Okay, anyway, the forest where the accident happened is not far from our house, so while it is still early today, send a few people over to look for it." If you can find some traces of spiders and worms, and find the He family back, you will have an explanation for Brother An and Brother Zi'er in the future. ”
Mama Tiger responded with a smile: "Yes." Motioned to Zhang's mother to pass the word. Zhang's mother hurriedly took the order.
Mr. Qin said to Niu again: "I just asked Mohu in detail about the details of the attack. He said that when the carriage traveled near the woods, Qin Taisheng's family said that He was motion sick, and asked the chariot to drive the car slower. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that this is just an excuse, and it is because the He family wants to cooperate with He Ziyu to make Qin Taisheng's family lie. He Ziyu didn't know when he would return to Mizhi, if he hadn't known in advance the time when He went to the temple, he would never have come so coincidentally. The two of them must have made an agreement in private, and the girl who escaped and was captured was their messenger. ”
Niu Shi hurriedly said: "I think so too. Jinhuan's dead girl, she still wanted to go out with the He family this morning, and she was stopped by Mohu's family, so she cried and cried. She must have known that He Shi was going to take the opportunity to escape, and she would be sad when she saw that she couldn't follow. When I ask someone to bring her over, I'll find out when I ask. This girl is so bold that she can't be spared, so she will be beaten twenty boards first, so that she will know the fate of betraying the master!"
Mr. Qin said: "Don't be busy beating her first, you can send someone to ask her first to see if she knows who the people He Ziyu is bringing are." Although He Ziyu often hangs with hooligans and ruffians on weekdays, he just takes a few people out. Mo Hu said that there were more than ten or twenty people he brought with him on this trip, all of whom were strong and healthy. If it weren't for the Wu family's nursing home, and the frightened horse knocked over the comer, Mohu and them would not have been able to retreat so easily. I don't think these people are horse thieves, but I can't believe He Ziyu as a person, so I have to ask clearly. This matter is related to the reputation of Brother An and Brother Zi'er's father and son, and it must not be neglected!"
Niu suddenly became serious: "Since this is the case, then you have to tell the dead girl to explain clearly." He sent Mama Tiger to the West Wing to interrogate Jinhuan.
Since Jinhuan was stopped by Mama Tiger in the morning and failed to go out with He's family, he has been depressed, nested in the west wing in a daze, and didn't even eat lunch. When the convoy came back, there was a lot of noise in the Qin family's mansion, and she knew that it must be the He family's master and servant who successfully escaped, and then, when the Qin family woke up, it was time to question her, the girl who reported the news. She was terrified, and she didn't know what to do.
When Mama Hu came, she learned that the master and servant of the He family and Uncle He Ziyu were all injured and their whereabouts were unknown. As for the young men who came with He Ziyu, four or five people called the Qin family and the Wu family tied them up and sent them to the Mizhi County Ya, all of whom said that they were horse thieves. Yu Linwei is now offering a heavy reward for the head of the horse thief, and these people can be said to have just collided. And He Ziyu dared to collude with the horse thief, and if he was caught in the future, he would also be beheaded and robbed of his family.
When Jin Huan heard this, he was so frightened that his soul flew away: "How can it be a horse thief? Uncle invited his friends who were on an errand in Yulinwei with a lot of money, and asked them to help stop the car, so that he could rescue the second grandmother in the name of the official army! They are the official army, not the horse thief!"
Mama Tiger was stunned for a moment.
