"Is the Ao family here?" Sheng Weiqiao was very surprised when he heard this, "Is it the Ao family of the eldest brother's biological mother's maiden family, why did they come to our house?"

She didn't say this because she had any opinion on the Ao family, but since the Ao family reconciled with Sheng Lansi, although they didn't have anything to do with the Sheng family because of Sheng Weide, they were also estranged a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is that the New Year's festival is still coming, and the people sent over only went to the Forbidden Snow Hall to meet Sheng Weide and Chengchun Tai and so on, and never stepped on the threshold of the second room.

Now it is suddenly unusual, and even the old lady has personally dispatched - but the time of selection is less than a month after the Bai family's new funeral!

Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but suspect that this was specifically for the Bai family, or Sheng Weirao, Sheng Weixing's sister and brother who fell into the well!

"The old lady of the Ao family fell ill in his early years, and the doctors in Bilin County are very ordinary, so how many years have passed, and it has not been relieved at all! Recently, it has become more serious. Sheng Lanci glanced at Feng Shi, and explained to her daughter in unison, "No, your grandfather has repeatedly written to persuade him, and recently he can be regarded as persuading him to come to our Nanfeng County and ask Dr. Hang to help take a look?"

Of course, this is a prevarication of outsiders -- the real reason is that the Ao family came to the door to ask for guilt, so it was the old lady Ao who took the lead herself.

However, although the old lady Sheng was angry with the Ao family and murdered his second daughter-in-law, the love of the robe saved in the mountain of blood corpses was not comparable to the Bai family, a daughter-in-law who was not loved by him. The old lady will never let this truth leak out, so naturally there must be a reasonable explanation to prevaricate everyone.

Of course, everyone doesn't believe much in this explanation at the moment, for example, even Sheng Weiqiao, the granddaughter of the Sheng family, who admits that she has no heart, thinks: "The second aunt just went, and the Ao family came, after Sister Rao and the fifth brother knew, I'm afraid that I will be very sad, right?"

――I'm afraid that the Ao family came to the door at this time to block the Bai family's bloodline, right?

"Good girl, you have to know: when De'er's mother gave birth to De'er, because it was the first child, it was very difficult, and when she started, she specially told Wen Po, if anything is wrong, you must follow your grandmother's example, and give up your mother to protect the child!" Sheng Lanci narrowed her eyes, stroked her short hair, and said warmly, "As a result, she earned her life to give birth to De'er for your second uncle, but your second uncle didn't have a good face and didn't say anything, but gave her two heads in three days, and almost made her fall ill in confinement- And the reason why your second uncle did this, in addition to his own liking of the new and hating the old, is also because of the instigation of your second aunt, who is gone!"

"So even if the Ao family deliberately chooses the time of your second aunt's new funeral, then the Bai family's mother and son have nothing to say, after all, Rao'er and Xing'er's current identities as daughters and daughters-in-law are all because they usurped your Aunt Ao's things!"

"What's the point of putting up for a little bit of talk?"

"Mother debt repayment is justified!"

"Besides, the Sheng family is considerate enough for Rao'er Xing'er, and your grandfather even kidnapped your second uncle to the yamen! As a family, they should also learn to be considerate and considerate of others, especially the elders -- how many years has your grandfather not seen Old Lady Ao, do you know how happy he was to hear that Old Lady Ao came to the door this time?"

Sheng Lanci has always had a bad impression of the Bai family, not only because the Bai family is the upper position in the outer room, but also because the Bai family tried every means to put Sheng Weixing towards the big house - when the couple couldn't see the intentions of this brother and daughter-in-law?!

Feng Shi only felt that "why are you sure that I can't give birth to a son" for this matter, Sheng Lanci didn't say a word on her lips, but her heart was full of anger: Lao Tzu has no son, but he has a daughter!

So although he only picked up Sheng Sleeping Crane this year, Sheng Lanci never thought about succession in the previous ten years - in his opinion, this kind of heir is not here to inherit it for himself, but to grab things from his daughter!

This time, Bai's death was found in the evening, and Sheng Lanci was still outside inspecting the shop, so it was the old lady Sheng and Mrs. Ming who made the master - the old lady Sheng, who was more calculated, decided to report to the official because of his disappointment in his second son and his love for his granddaughter Sheng Weirao.

When Sheng Lan resigned, Sheng Lansi was tied up and taken to the yamen, and he couldn't say anything.

If he was in the mansion, he actually wanted to support Mrs. Ming not to report to the official - not because he felt sorry for Sheng Lansi, but for the reputation of the Sheng family, for the future of Sheng Sleeping Crane who had just been recognized, and even more for the relationship between the Sheng family and the government!

In recent years, the performance appraisal of officials has not been based on the rate of solving cases, but at the rate of cases occurring.

The logic of the imperial court is: If you have the ability to govern the place well, let the teachings of the sages and the majesty of the national law penetrate into everyone's heart, so that the people can understand things and distinguish between right and wrong, then how can there be cases!

In this way, once a case occurs, it is that the officials lack the ability to govern and fail to teach the people well!

In other words, if the Sheng family's lawsuit goes out, most of the county guards will be recorded as "ineffective education", and the first-class evaluation should not be counted on, and it would be good not to be attacked by political enemies - because the Sheng family is the largest household in Nanfeng County, and the relationship with the government is always close!

Such a family should be close to the water and belong to the moral model of the county! Such a bad case has happened, is there any hope for the atmosphere of this county?

Even if Sheng Lanci asked Mrs. Ming to seize every opportunity to clear the Bai family and strive to reduce the bad impact of this incident on the Sheng Mansion, the two points of the outer room plotting to kill the main room and the subordinate servants plotting to kill the master's mother clearly violated the taboo of "inferiority and respect, and the lower offense", and it is impossible not to affect the evaluation of the magistrate.

Although the county guard has not shown any dissatisfaction with the Sheng family so far, it is difficult to say what he thinks in his heart - after all, the county guard is only in his forties this year, and he is still arrogant. Old lady Sheng was excited to "kill relatives with righteousness", but it was tantamount to pit him, would he have no mustard?

Therefore, the case of Bai's death is settled, but the things that Sheng Lanci is busy with have just begun: it is true that Nanfeng County is far away from Chang'an, and if the magistrate wants to do things well, he must rely on the big families in the county, but the Sheng family is only a rising star in Nanfeng County, and the background is far less profound than the Xuan Yu family and the Feng family, and if they really fell out with the county guard, the county guard can get close to the Xuan Yu family or the Feng family, and even help the two families suppress the Sheng family.

Although the two families have a close relationship with Sheng Lanci and his wife, they will not be soft on issues involving the future of the He clan -- in business, Sheng Lanci has never been soft when he grabbed business and land with these two families back then.

Under these considerations, Sheng Lanci naturally did not have any regrets for Bai's death, but felt that this brother and daughter-in-law were alive to calculate the things in their own room, and they had to make trouble for their own house when they died, which was really annoying.

For the Bai family's biological children, although they don't say they are angry, they don't have any special care intentions, and at this moment, they naturally don't want their daughter to stand in the position of Sheng Weirao's sister and brother everywhere, and said seriously, "Besides, you only think that Rao'er is pitiful, why don't you want to think about your eldest brother? As the eldest son of your second uncle's first wife, he should have grown up in the love of his father and mother, and enjoyed the love of his parents! If it weren't for your grandfather and grandmother watching him closely, how could your second aunt be able to tolerate him!"

Speaking of this, he sighed, "After so many years, his foreign family finally came to the door once, if you are not welcome, how sad should you be when your eldest brother knows? Could it be that Rao'er Xing'er is your younger brother and sister, and your eldest brother is not your sibling?"

Sheng Weiqiao was speechless, so he had to say: "I didn't diswelcome the Ao family, I just felt surprised." ”

"Are you tired now? If you're not tired, can you go with your father and mother to greet guests?" Feng Shi blinked, touched his daughter's little head with a smile, and said lovingly, "There is a young lady from the Ao family, since she hasn't left the cabinet, she is obviously about the same age as the girl." Our family is now suitable to come forward to greet her, but there is only a good girl!"

- When she didn't see it, if it wasn't for Wan Chun's coincidence just now, this daughter would have made a big fuss?

Hurry up and find something to do for this palm pearl now, lest she have to think about it and continue to pursue the matter of Guan Ancestral Hall!

Sheng Weiqiao has just come out of the ancestral hall and has not yet rested, in fact, she doesn't want to do errands, but there are only four grandchildren and girls of the Sheng family.

If she doesn't go, the Ao family will feel that they will be left out in the cold, in case the eldest brother Sheng Weide thinks that his cousin is tired of his foreign family as his father Sheng Lanci said......

Sheng Weiqiao thought about it a few times, and finally sighed helplessly: "I'll go in and change my clothes!"

The Ao family came back with the old lady, the eldest lord, the eldest lady, and a pair of children in the long room, because of the delay in coaxing Sheng Weiqiao and waiting for her to change clothes, when Sheng Lanci and his wife led their daughter to the Forbidden Snow Hall, except for the old lady Ao who went inside to talk to the old lady Sheng's sickbed, the old man Ao and his family had been waiting for a while.

Fortunately, there was Sheng Sleeping Crane who came first to talk to Sheng Weide to accompany them, but it didn't make them sit in the hall.

Sheng Weiqiao followed his parents to cross the threshold, and when he saw Sheng Sleeping Crane's smiling appearance, his eyes immediately turned red - his life in the ancestral hall was worse than death, but this sleeping crane was talking and laughing here!!

If it weren't for the fact that the four members of the Ao family were already busy getting up to greet each other at this time, she almost didn't press it and rushed up to give him a kick!

Because of his father's generation, the eldest man of the Ao family and Sheng Lanci are also old acquaintances, and they are very excited to meet again after a long absence: "Brother Xinzhang! Mrs. Sister-in-law! I haven't seen you for many years, and my spirit of joy is the same!"

"Brother Cheng Pei, brother and sister, I haven't seen you for many years!" Sheng Lanci also hurriedly walked a few steps, while calling the words of Ao Muzhi, the eldest master of the Ao family, while holding his hand tightly, and sighed, "Farewell for more than ten years, the years are like a shuttle!"

While the two of them were talking, the Feng family and the eldest lady of the Ao family, Di Shi, had already paid their respects, and the two couples exchanged pleasantries for a long time before they remembered to introduce their respective heirs.

The younger brother Ao Luanxiao is one year younger than Sheng Mianhe, and his stature is not high, but his eyebrows and eyes are delicate, his manners are elegant, and he is slightly shy;

After the juniors talked about the ceremony, and each took the greeting gift from the other party's parents, Sheng Lan stroked her short hair and said: "Uncle Xu's grandson is also in the house now, but because of what happened in the house a few days ago, the child was sympathetic, and he didn't show up for a long time under the pretext of feeling cold. Today, I have forgotten to say hello to him, but I will have to wait before I can come to you to see you. ”

The Ao family because their old lady and Old Marquis Xu were only at the same level back then, unlike Old Lady Sheng, who had been the superior of Old Marquis Xu, and had the grace of promoting Old Marquis Xu and Ning Weihou in the early days, and for the Xu family, who is now ranked as a marquis, they couldn't help but be more in awe than closer, but they didn't dare to let Xu Baomo come over to ask for peace like Sheng Lanci, and when they heard the words, they hurriedly said: "I came here to ask for sin, how can I work for the son?"

"Uncle Ao Shi really sees the outside!" Xu Baomo, who happened to send someone to invite Sheng Lan halfway through his resignation, arrived outside the door, and immediately walked in while answering the words, "Uncle Shi is an elder, what kind of labor to the little nephew, isn't it tormenting the little nephew?"

As he spoke, he saluted them, and greeted Sheng Lanci and his wife, and he was also generous to his peers, including the Ao brothers and sisters who had just come, friendly and kind, without any arrogance.

This flattered the Ao family, but also felt very moved, not to mention the praise, but also felt in their hearts: "The Xu family is a good tutor! It is also the old Marquis Xu who misses the old love, how many years, he has not forgotten us!"

But what they didn't know was that what Xu Baomo was thinking about was: "Half a month younger! Half a month younger! My grandfather in the middle has already written two letters to reprimand this son for being incompetent! Today, Da Qiao has finally come out of the ancestral hall -- I will tell her clearly what this son says later!!

And the current scene, for him, is nothing less than an opportunity to perform before the showdown, how can he not show a ten-out "approachable and nobleman" demeanor!

With a gentle smile, Xu Baomo endured it bitterly, and finally survived until the new round of greetings between Sheng Ao and his wife came to an end, and he was ready to talk about business: "It's boring to keep the children here, the garden in the house is quite spacious, why don't you let Sleeping Crane and De'er accompany you around?" ”

Xu Baomo's eyes suddenly lit up.
