216 clan
Sandalwood said very seriously: "Mama, remember that if someone asks Ming'er, it will be said that the second master used to be a coolie, so there are so many scars on his hands." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWell, don't mention the scar first, just in case someone asks later. ”
Then he continued to ask Mama Wu: "Where is the ancestral home of the second master?" ”
"The second master is mentally incomplete, and he can't remember some things clearly, but he only knows that he lives in the mountains."
Sandalwood nodded. "Yes, Mama just needs to remember that no one under the second master's affairs knows about it, and outsiders can't ask anything. There are only a few of us, this rhetoric must be correct, you can't talk about the east and I say the west. The young lady said that it is impossible for those clan elders to ask too much, but we still have to be prepared, so as not to show our feet temporarily. In addition, there is one thing, the second master does not need to deliberately deny the incomplete matter, if someone asks, tell the truth. Even if the second master studies in Wuzhou for a few months, it is impossible for him to become smart and clever in a blink of an eye, and this cannot be hidden. ”
At this time, all the henchmen who stayed in the house were confidants, and several maids also wrote down Sandalwood's explanation. Anyway, remember that it's right, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens.
The next day, Yanwu took all the sons and ladies in the house to the Fu clan as guests. The Fu family is mainly concentrated in Fujia Village in the southwest, and there are several families living in the city, such as Fu Jun's maiden home is in the outer city of Luojing, but it belongs to the slums of Luojing.
Soon after the carriage left the south gate, the ladies saw through the curtain of the carriage that the patriarch was leading the clansmen to wait at the entrance of the village.
Fu Manshu was prepared, tore off the silk thread through the curtain, and sprinkled the replaced string of copper plates on the muddy floor. The six or seven-year-old children couldn't wait to run over and scramble to pick up the copper coins. A few copper coins fell into the mud, and they weren't dirty.
The patriarch's face immediately became a little ugly.
Fu Manhua glanced at Fu Manshu, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Fu Yanwu hurriedly got out of the carriage and saluted the clan elders. When Sandalwood instructed the little girl to unload the big bags of things, the children were in a commotion again. A pair of longing eyes stared intently at the packages.
"One by one, everyone has it." Daylilies showed half of her face and looked at the children tenderly.
The temptation of the gift was so great that the young children forgot their fears, and one by one stretched out their trembling little hands and held them under the daylily's face.
"Here's for you, a pair of shoes."
"This one is yours, a bag of halva."
……
These gifts were carefully prepared by Sandalwood and Green Willow. Sandalwood's family was also poor when she was a child, and she knew what her children craved. It is impossible for every child to get clothes and shoes, so they prepared a lot of small things, such as food and toys, and wore them, anyway, so that the children would not go home empty-handed.
At the age of eight or nine, I received pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
The two teams were neat and orderly, the daylilies and the treasure building were one left and one right, and the two large boxes of Boxing took half an hour to complete.
The patriarch was very happy to see this lively scene, "Thank you Third Miss, thank you Old Lady, the house is really hearty." I don't know when the old lady will come back, so we are ready to open the ancestral hall. ”
Sandalwood blessed her body, "Tell the patriarch that the old lady will be able to come back in mid to late February." ”
"Good, good. Then go into the room and talk, it's cold outside. ”
The courtyard for hospitality is located in the patriarch's house, and the decoration of the house is of course much better and warmer than that of other villagers' houses. Mama Wu held a bag of silver ingots over, "Patriarch, this is the offering silver in our house this year, and you still have to take care of the old and weak families in the clan." ”
The patriarch thanked him again. Although the elders of the clan were reluctant to make a fool of the little girl, the annual offering of silver could indeed make the poor people in the clan live a good life, and they also bowed their heads.
Sandalwood looked at Yanwu's eyes and said, "Patriarch, the old lady is coming back soon." My young lady hopes that the matter of the succession will go smoothly, and she wants to see the Fu family tree first. Do you think you can make it easier? ”
The patriarch's heart was rejoicing. I don't know how much the money sent by the Marquis of Anping can solve many urgent needs, and looking at the family tree is not a big deal. Besides, you have to watch it early and watch it late.
When he walked to the Fu ancestral hall in the depths of the village, the patriarch asked people to unlock it, and Fu Yanwu followed the patriarch's finger and finally saw the Fu family tree.
It's not what she imagined. The genealogy of the Fu clan was actually written on a wall, using a lineage table, which has now been recorded to the twelfth generation. Each column records a person's life, and it seems to be clear at a glance.
Fu Yanwu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find the names of his great-grandfather Fu Huai and grandfather Fu Haoyin. However, this genealogy reminded her of the old monster Wang Jun, if you can take a look at the genealogy of the Wang family, you should be able to find out the true identity of the old monster.
Seeing her frowning, the patriarch hurriedly pointed to the wall on the other side and explained, "The genealogy of the Hou Mansion is there. In the future, the Fu family became more and more prosperous, and this wall could not be written. ”
Mama Wu asked, "Why is the genealogy of the Hou Mansion written there alone?" ”
The patriarch looked very embarrassed, "This, you should have heard of it. When the old lady was alive, she never interacted with the clan. In those years, there were many wars, and many people entered the barracks and never returned, so the genealogy was not error-free. Later, the old lady took charge of the family, and I became the new patriarch, and only then did they begin to resume contact. The list of names in the Hou Mansion was also continued at that time. ”
Fu Yanwu nodded. It would be more convenient, it would be easy to add the name of Second Uncle Zhu to that wall, and then the second room would become the third room, and the third room would become the fourth room.
Fu Yanwu stayed in the ancestral hall until almost noon, and the clansmen told them to have lunch before going out.
In addition to the ladies in the Hou Mansion, Fu Ling and Fu Ya were at the same table with Fu Yanwu, and even Fu Jun, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared. She came alone, and her facial features were still beautiful, but slightly rounder than before.
Looking at her appearance, her complexion is ruddy, but she has a better life than she used to have. Come to think of it, her husband should be nice to her. The maid named Li'er is still serving by her side.
Li'er looked at Fu Yanwu, with a hint of innocence in her eyes.
Yanwu smiled knowingly, Fu Jun is really doing well, and there is no need to pursue those things before. It doesn't matter why she's missing, as long as she's happy now, nothing else matters.
There were only two tables of people in the room, except for Fu Yanwu's table, and only a table of girls of the same age was left in the clan to accompany them.
These girls are growing up again, and there are six or seven people at the age of twelve or thirteen. They sat at the table next to them, smiling kindly at the ladies of the Hou Mansion from time to time.
Fu Yanwu saw that everyone didn't pick up vegetables, so he moved his chopsticks first and motioned for everyone to eat. I ate awkwardly at first. The girls in the clan hope to leave a good image in the heart of Miss Houfu, and they are all extraordinary; Fu Manshu, Fu Manhua and the others already felt that they were superior, and they didn't want to eat in the same room with them at all.
Fortunately, Fu Yanwu was able to let go, and he went to clip whatever dish he wanted, and everyone's hunger was awakened, and then there was an atmosphere of eating. (To be continued.) )
