24, eldest grandson
Since returning to Shou'an Hall on the third day of the lunar month, Miao has been holding her breath in her heart, but she has no place to sprinkle, and she has been sick for life, and she is not good at saying that the cause is that she failed to get what should have been her granddaughter's qi disease, and she has been treated for more than a month and has not been good, and she has not been good for many years, and Yao Keqing After the accounts were sorted out, she also went to Shou'an Hall to tell her how loyal and upright the subordinates are, so that she can rest assured that she is recuperating, she is very angry, but looking at Yao Keqing's face without knowing it, thinking about what kind of anger she is with a little fart child who doesn't know anything, where can those slaves be so honest, and the abacus behind her back doesn't know how loud it is!Hum...... There are times when she regrets it, and when the time comes, she comes to beg me to help her, but I don't help. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
By the time the old lady's illness was cured, it was already March, and the people on the street had changed into light spring clothes, but the Changxiang Marquis Mansion was busy with another thing, that is, the anniversary festival of the old marquis. On this day, all the people gathered in Shou'an Hall to discuss the matter.
"Your father's funeral was done too hastily in order to avoid the happy events in the palace, this anniversary festival really can't be dealt with anymore, it must be done bigger!" The old lady Miao said to Yao Chongming, not long after the death of the old marquis Yao, a lady in the palace gave birth to a prince, originally the old marquis was going to stop the spirit for 81 days and then be buried, in order to avoid the full moon wine of the prince, the Changxiang Marquis had to bury the old marquis in a hurry.
"What my mother said is very true, and that's exactly what my son thinks!" Although Yao Chongming felt that his father did not value him very seriously during his lifetime, and he was also quite dissatisfied with this, but now that his father is dead, and the Changxiang Marquis Mansion is also his own, he doesn't have to live with the dead, "Although we can't go back to our hometown, we can't be sloppy in Beijing, and we have to be more grand!" The son plans to do a water and land dojo in the Dabei Temple for 7749 days, and when he arrives in the mansion, he will go to the north of the city to set up a shed to give porridge for three days, so good?"
"Hmm...... Just do as you say!" the old lady was very satisfied, "You are responsible for the affairs of the water and land dojo, as for setting up a tent and giving porridge, let your daughter-in-law take someone to do it!"
"There is one more thing, I have never been able to make up my mind, you also help the staff officers. The old lady paused and then said, "It is a few children's remittance, according to the past practice, we should have gone back to our hometown to keep filial piety, but because your errand in Beijing has not been handed over, my body is not angry, we will stay in Beijing, so down, the children's remittance can only be done in Beijing, but there is no elder in the clan beside them, if they let them go back to their hometown, we can't go, let a few children go so far alone, I really don't worry, this comes and goes for more than 20 days!" ”
Miao is not very enthusiastic about the Yao family in Maozhou, and has not had much contact over the years, the last time the old marquis died, Fuling returned to his hometown, and when the old marquis was buried, Miao hurried back to the capital overnight.
The ancestral home of the Yao family is in Maozhou, that is, the place where Yao Wenchi (Yao Jingde's father) rescued the driver, the Yao family is also a high-ranking family in Maozhou, and there are many people who are officials in the court, but there are no high-ranking officials, except for the dead old marquis Yao Jingde, the highest is only the fourth grade, and there are no people in the Yao family, most of them are magistrates.
"Then why don't we go to the clan and invite the elders to give them a salute?" Xiao Miao suggested.
"This method is good, but the old people in the clan are all old, how can there be a reason to work the elders for the sake of a few juniors. The old lady shook her head, not very approving.
"Why don't you ask the monks of Dabei Temple to preside over them when you do a water and land dojo?" Yao Chongming's suggestion was approved by the old lady.
Coming out of the old lady's yard, Yao Keqing remembered something that was deliberately ignored in his previous life, that is, the identity of his younger brother's grandson.
Although Yao Chongming's name is scapular, he actually only took a wife for his deceased brother, and the heir born to the wife of the long house also recognized the eldest brother Yao Chonghua as his father. Yao Keqing thought that he and his younger brother had passed to the long house, and the genealogy of the clan recorded that their father was Yao Chonghua, not Yao Chongming, so the younger brother was the great-bearing grandson, and according to the system, he was going to keep filial piety for his grandfather for three years.
It's just that she didn't know this in her previous life, and the people in the second room deliberately blurred Yao Qishen's identity, but let the eldest brother Yao Qikang keep his filial piety for three years, she didn't understand this before, but now she understands. It turned out that a long time ago, someone was planning to replace her younger brother's position, but she hated her until this life to understand.
On the day of the anniversary festival of the old marquis of Changxiang's mansion, all the people in the palace went to the Dabei Temple, looking at the faces of the monks who were pious in chanting, the endless sound of chanting the Buddha, and the incense of the Buddha that always lingered around him, Yao Keqing's heart was never quiet, it turned out that the Buddha can really purify people's hearts? So why are the people who burn incense and worship the Buddha often not really dedicated to the Buddha? Perhaps everyone is the same as themselves, they all want to seek a moment of peace from the Buddha, but they do not want to be enlightened by the Buddha, and really be a person who has no desires and no desires. In this life, I am a person who has a plan and a request, so the Buddha is still respectful, but I can't believe it, I can only believe in myself.
Yao Keqing was dressed in Qi Ying, and a group of brothers and sisters followed behind the elders, kowtowing one head after another reverently, looking at the smoke, but his grandfather's cards were so clear, Yao Keqing said silently in his heart, grandfather, I will definitely live well with my younger brother, and I will never let down your hard work for us......
The old lady was tired for a day, and at this moment she was crooked on the couch in the small courtyard that was specially packed out in the temple for the Yao family to rest, and after resting for a long time, the old lady came to her senses and struggled to stand up, Mama Li hurriedly went up to help, "Hey...... In the end, he is old, he is really useless, he is old...... Old...... It's really old...... "Xu is on such a special day, people have become sentimental, and the old lady can't help but think that in a few years, she is afraid that she will not be alive."
"Look at what the old lady said, the old lady looks young!" Mama Li flattered, "The old lady's blessing is still to come!"
"Listen to what you say," Miao said, "When the grandchildren are older and marry their daughters-in-law, the family will be lively, which is really deserted now." ”
"That's the old lady's kindness, and she is reluctant to let the child leave her parents, otherwise the old lady should really hold a young master or young lady by her side. ”
"I originally wanted to keep Sister Qing and Brother Shen by my side, but they didn't want to accompany me, an old woman. Well, my wife and I will be at ease! Go and spread a message to them everywhere and let them have dinner in their own yards! Tomorrow I will be busy besides the ceremony. ”
"Yes, old lady. ”
After Mama Li finished passing the word and left, Xiao Miao called Yao Qikang to him and instructed: "Tomorrow, you follow your father to the front hall and help your father take care of the affairs of the water and land dojo, and don't go to the back hall." ”
"Isn't it going to be removed from the apse tomorrow? Why don't I go?" Yao Qikang didn't understand what his mother meant, and if he didn't go to the apse, how could he do it?
"It's someone else who does the service, it has nothing to do with you, you have to keep filial piety for three years, so you don't have to go. Xiao Miao didn't say his intentions, his son was still young, and he was afraid that if he said it, something bad would happen.
"Why should I keep it for three years?" Yao Qikang didn't understand.
"Do you know what your father's identity is? He is the marquis of Changxiang Houfu, the heir of Changxiang Houfu, and you are his eldest son, and all this he has today should be yours in the future. Now, my mother has asked you to keep filial piety for three years so that you can rightfully inherit everything from your father!" Speaking of this, Xiao Miao's voice was a little excited, and he was busy calming his mood.
Yao Qikang still didn't understand what was the relationship between keeping filial piety and inheriting the Hou Mansion, and wasn't everything from his father supposed to be inherited by himself? It's just that he had always listened to his mother, and although he didn't understand, he still agreed.
Seeing that his son agreed, Xiao Miao put his mind at ease, and talked to him softly about what he should do, "Your father, I have already said it, you will follow him tomorrow, just to others, you just need to say that you have a deep friendship with your grandfather, and you are willing to keep filial piety for him for three years, you know? There are also Sister Qing and Brother Shen, in addition to serving, you need to have more intimate contacts!"
Looking at Yao Keqing, who came to the apse alone, the old lady was very surprised and asked, "What about Brother Shen? Why didn't Brother Shen come?"
"Is Shen'er coming?" Yao Keqing was puzzled, "Shen'er is a grandson, and he has to keep filial piety for three years, where is the need to do the service!"
Hearing this, Xiao Miao's eyes flashed with shock and disappointment, as well as ...... A trace of viciousness, these did not escape Yao Keqing's eyes, when she just spoke, she had been quietly watching her, Xiao Miao was really the murderer who planned to kill Shen'er step by step.
"Look at me, I'm old, but I forgot! Then let's start!" After speaking, the old lady did not speak again, but her face was ugly, and she couldn't attack in front of all the monks. She also knew that since Yao Keqing already knew, they couldn't be fooled.
I could only watch a group of grandchildren, except for Yao Qishen, including Yao Qikang, who was urgently called over with a puzzled face, in addition to filial piety clothes, changed into regular clothes.
After the ceremony, the old lady grabbed Mama Li's arm and left, and from Yao Keqing's point of view, it could be seen that Miao was holding very hard, and Mama Li's face was white. It's just that why is the old lady so angry?
On the way home, Yao Keqing kept thinking about the old lady's attitude. Regardless of whether the death of the younger brother has anything to do with the old lady or not, and the obscurity of the identity of the younger brother's heir-bearing grandson, the old lady must have known and approved of it, so will the old lady approve of Xiao Miao's plan to get rid of her younger brother and let her son take the identity of the eldest son and grandson of the long house? This time, she has sabotaged Xiao Miao's plan and also aroused the old lady's resentment, will they join hands to deal with their sister and brother? If this is the case, it will be dangerous......
They want to kill their younger brother for the identity of the eldest son and grandson of Shen'er's Changfang, so they can get most of the property of the Changxiang Marquis Mansion for this identity, and ...... The title of Marquis of Changxiang!
Yao Keqing's pupils shrank, it was for the title, she had already thought that the title of Marquis Changxiang should have belonged to their heir Yao Chonghua, and the younger brother was naturally the next Marquis of Changxiang, but the second aunt wanted her son to inherit it, but after Yao Chongming, the heir to the title must be the heir of Changfang, that is, Shen'er, so the second aunt would murder Shen'er like this.
The old lady may not kill her brother for the title, but she absolutely does not approve of her brother's succession, so the safety of her brother is really worrying......
