Zhou Ze invited him to sit at the banquet, but he refused on the grounds that he could not drink the banquet during the filial piety period.

Zhou Ze's face suddenly turned blue, white and red, and he glared at Yuan Wenxin for a long time before he left with a snort.

Zhou Mingshan looked at it and wanted to laugh.

Even she, a daughter-in-law, has a grudge against her father, let alone Uncle Xin, who has always been at odds with her father?

"Fu'er, I'm here to say goodbye to you this time. ”

Zhou Mingshan was taken aback, "Farewell, where is Uncle Xin going?"

Yuan Wenxin looked at the east from afar and sighed faintly, "I have to go back to Shandong, I can't let that kid Zheng'er destroy himself like this!"

Speaking of Yuan Zheng, Zhou Mingshan didn't know what to say, and the ripples in the heart lake seemed to have been blown away by the wind.

Not long after Yuan's funeral ended, except for Yuan Wei, who had already gone to the foreign post, everyone else in the cross alley followed Yuan Wenkai back to Shandong, including Frangipani with a big belly.

Yuan Zheng was still as decadent as ever, this was Zhou Mingshan's only impression when he saw him in the mourning hall.

After all, he is a nephew, although Yuan Wenxin has been complaining that Yuan Zheng has no hair on his mouth and is not good at work, and he deserves this lesson, but he is worried about him in his heart and wants to bring him over.

In this regard, Zhou Mingshan also agrees.

"When will Uncle Xin come back?"

She knew that her eldest uncle Yuan Wenkai and they were afraid that they would not go to Beijing for the time being, just like in their previous life, the only thing they could look forward to was Uncle Xin.

"It's hard to say. Yuan Wenxin smiled and touched the top of her hair, "Don't worry, my uncle has left someone for you, if there is any difficulty, send a letter to the side of the cross alley, they will watch and deal with it." ”

Zhou Mingshan's heart is warm, this feeling of being remembered is like her mother is still there.

"Oh, by the way, that kid Mu Yuting asked me to give this to you!"

Yuan Wenxin took out a jade pendant from his purse.

It only took a long time for Uncle Xin to kick his nose and face, changing from "Mu Shizi" to "that kid".

Zhou Mingshan couldn't help laughing, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, it was a swinging fishtail shape, the jade color was not good, but it looked like an old object, and he wondered, "What is this?"

"Stupid, love token!" Yuan Wenxin pretended to joke with Zhou Mingshan, "I don't know so obviously, it's really a loss to others!"

"Hey, I don't believe it!"

If it is really a token of affection, how could Mu Yuting give it to Yuan Wenxin to send, it is impossible to think about it.

"Alas, today's children are so difficult to deceive!"

Yuan Wenxin bared his teeth and pretended to be strange for a while before explaining the reason.

This white jade pisces pair is a pair, which was originally a birthday gift from Mrs. Xu to Zhou Mingshan's grandmother, and the little sisters each have one.

A few days ago, when the Yuan family visited the Xianguo Mansion, he handed this over to Mrs. Xu.

"Isn't that right? Since it's a gift to my grandmother, it's not wrong for my grandmother to give it to my mother, but why did my mother give it back to Mrs. Xu? Could it be my grandmother's dying request? But that doesn't make sense, this is something that represents the friendship between the two, how can I have to return it?"

Zhou Mingshan was sure that Uncle Xin had something to say, and she vaguely felt that she was beginning to get close to the mystery that had been in her heart for more than a year about her grandmother and Mrs. Xu.

"Oh, kids, what do you do?"

"Uncle Xin......"

"Okay, okay, in fact, I think I should tell you, but your mother said on her deathbed that if you don't ask, don't tell you, so as not to make you uncomfortable after you get married...... If you want me to say, you should make it clear, and there will be problems if you hide it like this-"

"Uncle Xin," Seeing that Yuan Wenxin was about to start a tirade again, Zhou Mingshan hurriedly interrupted him, "Let's get to the point!"

"Oh, yes!" Yuan Wenxin shook his head, "This matter has been talked about for a long time, I want to think about it......"

In fact, it is a property entanglement between the branches and branches.

Mrs. Xu's father, Xu Ke, is a single line, and their branch was actually divided from the branch, plus the previous generations of people will operate, after Xu Ke died unexpectedly, he left a large inheritance, Mrs. Xu Ke and Mrs. Xu's orphans and widows will inevitably be bullied by the clansmen.

After a few years of enduring the humiliation, Mrs. Xu Ke really couldn't bear it, not to mention occupying their family's property, but also influencing her daughter's marriage, she simply sold her dowry, went to Beijing to join her old friends, and never returned to Shandong.

These domineering clansmen include Zhou Mingshan's grandmother's father Xu Heng, although Xu Heng is not there, but those are his uncles and brothers, and their family has also benefited.

Zhou Mingshan's grandmother was small and weak at the time, although she felt sorry for her good sisters to suffer hardships and crimes, but because of the face of her relatives and friends, she only dared to secretly help in private.

Later, after Mrs. Xu Ke left Shandong with Mrs. Xu, the two sisters never saw each other again.

Until she married Yuan Hanlin and arrived in the capital, she thought that she could reunite with her good sisters, but she didn't want Mrs. Xu to follow Lao Xianguo to the border again.

Later, Lao Xianguo was impeached, and the Mu family also fell into trouble, so Mrs. Xu quietly sent some things to help the good sisters get through the difficulties.

This includes the Zhuangzi title deed that Zhou Mingshan and the others lived in a while ago.

And when the matter of the old Xianguo was rehabilitated, when the Yuan family got married, the title deed of the Zhuangzi was sent back by Mrs. Xu as a makeup.

By mistake, Zhou Mingshan's grandmother has never had the opportunity to say sorry to her good sisters, and she has always felt guilty about this, and she couldn't let go until she died, and told her son Yuan Wenkai to fulfill her wish for her.

Although Yuan Wenkai knew the ins and outs of this matter, he felt that his mother should not be blamed for this incident at all, but his mother died of depression because of this, and he had a pimple in his heart, and he was unwilling to go to the Xianguo Mansion.

When he returned to Shandong last year, he handed over the jade pendant to the Yuan family, thinking that he would hand over the matter to his sister to deal with, after all, it was also his mother's last wish.

At that time, it was the time of Zhou Mingshan's draft, and the third master Zhou Ze was looking forward to his daughter entering the palace, and the Yuan family dragged Zhou Ze with this jade pendant for a while, and then the Hou Mansion things were one after another, and the Yuan family forgot the jade pendant in the back of his mind, and it was not until a few days ago that he sorted out the dowry for Zhou Mingshan.

"Your mother is also well-intentioned!" Yuan Wenxin sighed, "She not only went to kowtow to Mrs. Xu to apologize, but also asked Mrs. Xu to take care of your sisters in the future on this ground...... As for why Mrs. Tai thought of getting married later, I don't know, I originally thought that your family affair would not be successful!"

Thinking of Yuan, Zhou Mingshan's eyes turned red.

Mother remembers them all the time.

"Keep it well, it's also a souvenir!"

After Yuan Wenxin finished speaking, he said a few more words and left.

Only Zhou Mingshan was left standing in place, holding the jade pendant tightly with tears in her eyes.
