162 There is no great thing in the country, and no small thing in the house
Old Man Xia said that at such an end, Luo Ziqian knew that this matter was irreversible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The matter of separating the family will naturally be announced when the second room comes back, but the Zheng family knew from the old lady that the separation of the family was imperative, so he had to clean up with his daughter-in-law and move all the belongings of the second room back to the old house first.
lest they move again when the matter is near, but they will be busy.
She was both aggrieved and angry in her heart, and she couldn't say anything in front of Xia Chu...... is about to get married, and she also hopes that her daughter will be happy and not hurt for these things.
Fortunately, even if Xia Chu learned about it, he didn't look unhappy, and he helped his mother and sister-in-law sort it out.
When I first moved, the second room didn't expect to go back so soon, so basically all the belongings were moved over, and now I have to move back, which is also a big project, and it took several days to finish.
Because Xia Qing has not returned home yet, they still have to live in the new house for a while, so they have some things left.
The old house can't live there for the time being, and the old man Xia knows that although this matter was proposed by the Gu family, whether it is his family or the outsider, he has wronged Xia Chu, so he deliberately paid out of his own pocket and invited someone to renovate it, and now he is busy rushing to work.
The old man wanted to explain to his granddaughter in person, but Luo Ziqian said no: "She doesn't care about these things outside her body." ”
At the end of September, Xia Qing, who was dressed in dust, rushed back home with a tired face.
"What's going on? Why did you come back? Zheng didn't know that the new emperor had specially ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his work, and when he saw his husband suddenly appear at home, he was stunned, looked at him stupidly, and asked in surprise.
Xia Qing told the matter again.
Zheng was a little confused, and didn't understand what the new emperor meant by giving such a will. Chongyang has passed, but let Xia Qing rush back in such a hurry, is it so that he can participate in his daughter's marriage?
How could the Holy One ever be so considerate of the people's will?
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that you did something bad in office? Zheng suddenly became anxious, thinking about the events of these days, she felt a little wrong. The old man suddenly said that he wanted to split up, and his husband suddenly returned home from his office, it can't be that the new emperor values the Dingguo General's Mansion and deliberately let him, the father-in-law, come back to attend the wedding, right? "The old man said a few days ago that when you come back, we will arrange the separation of the family, and ask us to move all the large items to the old house!"
"Separation?" Xia Qing was also taken aback, he had just come back and didn't know about it yet. The old man saw that he was in the dust, and he would not tell him this immediately, but only told him to go back to the room to rest first. He glanced at the room, frowned, and said, "No wonder I see that our house is empty, so it is." ”
That's why I ask you...... "Did you do something wrong?" Zheng swallowed this sentence back into his stomach and asked, "Did something happen to Ren Ren?" Is anyone targeting you? ”
"No," Xia Qing shook his head, he thought that he was quite diligent in his work, and he had a good deal with the people below, and the big guys were also very happy to work with, but when he left, Fuzhong County Cheng and others were still very reluctant to practice it for him. "Jiangyin is a rich town, there are few incidents, I just do things according to the rules, even if something goes wrong, I can't complain about it, not to mention that nothing goes wrong!"
The husband and wife were relatively silent, and although they rested early, they couldn't sleep well for half the night.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xia Qing asked Old Man Xia to call over.
"You have been in Jiangyin all these years, and I have never given you any help, do you have any complaints in your heart?" Old man Xia looked at this son, he had no talent in reading since he was a child, and the time he was admitted to Jinshi, the old man was extremely surprised. It's not that he doesn't think about his son, but he understands his qualifications too well, so he feels surprised, not only was he admitted, but his ranking was so high, and he never fell into the same Jinshi column at the end of the crane.
"Whatever the father says, the son does not complain." Xia Qing shook his head, when he was released, he was just a county magistrate, and then he got the opportunity to take over as the county commander of Jiangyin, which was an unexpected joy! At that time, the emperor was far away, so he couldn't go back to Beijing for help when something happened, right?
"It's good not to blame." Old Man Xia sighed, it wasn't that he didn't want to help him, but it was really powerless. The Xia family is not a wealthy family, and there are various ways to go, which is nothing more than to give him some convenience through the eldest son's side. However, the eldest son's ability to call the shots is only trivial matters. "You came back just in time this time, just in time to catch up with the three girls' relatives."
"My son also got the will, so he rushed back immediately." Xia Qing said with a smile.
Although he was stunned when he got the will, his first concern after returning to God was not the official position, but thinking that he could finally return to Beijing, and it was before his daughter's marriage!
Because he was afraid that the road would be unstable and delayed, he could be regarded as hurrying slowly, taking the waterway if the waterway was good, and if he didn't succeed, he would immediately take the official road by land after changing cars, so he returned to Beijing several days in advance.
Sometimes he also feels that he is quite unproductive, he wants to be a rich man when he is not promoted, and he never thinks about climbing up when he has an errand, his family knows his own family affairs, and he is not the material to be an official at all!
In the past few years in Jiangyin, looking at the smooth and steady life, in fact, I have lived extremely carefully, for fear that I will do the wrong errand and bring tired family.
When he was young, he was not without ambition, but the repeated setbacks in the imperial examination also wiped out the vague unwillingness in his heart. After calming down, it gave him a surprise.
How did he get admitted in the first place, even he himself was confused, but he still knew that it was not his usual level.
In Xia Bangqiu's words, he was ordered by the 'master', and then played extraordinarily!
This kind of good thing like a big luck only lasted for a while, and after the initial excitement passed, Xia Qing found that his usual life had not changed as expected, and it was as if he had been poured a basin of cold water.
Now that a few years have passed, he is almost at the age of not being confused, and he has gradually become pampered and not surprised, he has experienced many ups and downs in his life, and many things have been looked down.
Therefore, compared to Zheng's worries, he was unaware that there was no rebuke in the decree of the new emperor, he consciously held himself upright, and did things well, so on the way back, he did not have any psychological burden.
"Presumably your daughter-in-law has already told you about the separation, what do you think?" Old Man Xia didn't beat around the bush with his son, so he said it directly.
Carefully looked at Xia Qing's expression, and saw that there was only confusion in his eyebrows, and he did not complain.
I couldn't help but nod secretly.
Old Man Xia only has these two sons in his life, so he naturally hopes to see their brothers in harmony and smooth careers. Even though the second son is not as good as the eldest son, but in the end it is his own child, how can he not care?
"My son didn't understand." When Xia Qing saw his father asking, he replied honestly: "As the ancient saying goes: parents are here, and there is no separation of families. Why is the father in a hurry to divide the family for his sons? But what did the son and eldest brother do badly? ”
Their brothers are brothers, friends, and brothers, and they don't have that kind of wall, so why should they be so abrupt?
"It has nothing to do with you two brothers." Old Man Xia waved his hand, said what he had said to Luo Ziqian again, and said, "...... Your eldest brother is very important now, and he may not want to see the Gu family get too close to your eldest brother today. ”
This means that the Gu family wants to avoid suspicion?
Xia Qing frowned when he heard this.
Even though Xia Chu is not the daughter of the eldest brother, she is also his niece. How can this blood relationship be severed? Could it be that the family is separated, Chu'er is not the niece of the eldest brother, and Gu Teng is not the niece and son-in-law?
When the Gu family made a marriage with their family, shouldn't they have expected it? Even though Xia Chu is his daughter, she is surnamed Xia after all, and she is a descendant of the Xia family, this is not an identity that can be erased by simply dividing the family!
"Don't think about it, the Gu family doesn't mean that." As soon as he saw his son frowning, Old Man Xia guessed nine times out of ten, his son was too upright, a little sleek, and he would not fail many times in the past. Fortunately, he can listen to the words of others, and the masters he specially sent to him are all 'old treacherous and cunning', and it is enough to assist one Xia Qing. "First, their family doesn't need your eldest brother's identity to add color, and second, you are now also the head of the family, and you always have to feast and meet friends on weekdays, and it is a little inconvenient to live together."
He had just come back, where did he come from with so many friends to feast?
Besides, he is just a petty official, and he can casually bump into a third-grade master in Beijing, and he is not conspicuous at all!
But after thinking about it, he is now ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work, and he thinks that the new emperor will always arrange an official position for him. He had excellent performance in office, and he stayed for another five years, so I was afraid that he would have to mention it.
At that time, there will naturally be more colleagues with him than before. If it's released, it's okay, but if it stays in Beijing...... No, I'm afraid that this time, he is bound to stay in Beijing!
Otherwise, why would he transfer him back from Jiangyin?
Jiangyin is the land of fish and rice, a rich land, but not everyone wants to go. Because it is natural to do well, and if you don't do it well, it will become a thousand fingers. The Jiangyin County Orders of the past dynasties are all the masters of the script, precisely because the political performance here is not good, although it is a rich place, but few people are willing to bother to go.
Last time, he got this cheap, and there was a bit of this reason.
Xia Qing felt that he was still fully adapted to the place of Jiangyin, he was not greedy, nor did he seek good political performance, he just wanted to be a Zhongzheng and peaceful, and he was naturally not so constrained in doing things.
When he returned to Beijing, he became nervous, and he didn't know where he would be placed?
Although the old man's excuse sounded a bit far-fetched, it was always for the good of his two brothers, Xia Qing thought for a while and nodded: "My son understands, let's split the family, it's just that this matter was done in a hurry, and it is inevitable that I will be wronged by Chu'er." ”
"The third girl still uses you to curry favor with her?" As soon as Old Man Xia heard it, he knew that this was this son asking for benefits for his daughter! immediately glared at him and said, "If you have half of her ability, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about you like me!" ”
I also sighed in my heart, even if it has been many years, he has always been thinking about this daughter, which shows that this monthly family letter is not written in vain.
What are you capable of? Xia Qing glanced at the old man inexplicably, but in the other party's disdainful gaze, he had to turn his face away. His daughter has been like that since she was a child, don't look at her love to be coquettish, but her idea is very right, as long as it is what she wants to do, no matter whether her daughter-in-law is crying or losing her temper, she has never changed!
Of course, these are all things that he found out when he pondered it carefully, but at the moment, no one could see that the coquettish little girl was so capable!
It's just that why did the old man say this?
"Chu'er is well-behaved, and I should love her." Xia Qing avoided the light.
"Hurt her?" Old Man Xia scoffed, in his opinion, their parents treated Xia Chu as well as Luo Ziqian treated her one-tenth better! Although he had something to do with his wife, if Zheng insisted on taking her to take her to take office, Luo Ziqian might not necessarily force it, his old wife was not the kind of person who was unkind!
But the daughter-in-law was worried about her son and youngest daughter, so she left her! What else do you say that you can't take care of yourself if you don't have enough energy - that child can worry about it when he is a child, and he can take care of himself properly!
This second child is also soft-eared, and after being read a few words by his daughter-in-law, he compromised.
In the past few years, although there are family letters and gifts, where can I compare with my parents to take care of them closely? That is, the child is well-behaved, never showing half a lonely look in front of others, and always coaxes them to be happy, but he has seen it more than once, she reads the letter sent from Jiangyin over and over again!
How can there be a child who doesn't worry about his father!
Who said that the three girls were cold and indifferent? She's just hiding it deeply! If he hears such remarks again, he must have the big-eared melon seeds to turn that person into a pig's head!
"Father!" Xia Qing called out a little helplessly, what's the fun of going through old accounts with him when he comes back this time?
"Okay, you go back and coax your daughter-in-law, she has an opinion these days." It's just that he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't know when he didn't enter the inner courtyard? He had a drooping face all day long, and every smile looked as if he was going to sweep the family out of the house.
"She wouldn't dare, you know, she's such a personality." Xia Yan hurriedly said: "My son turned around and told her, she is a reasonable person, but she is a little confused in trivial matters." ”
What's the big thing and what's the little thing?
There is no big thing in the country, and there is no small thing in the family!
Old Man Xia didn't want to say more, snorted, nodded, and said, "You can go yourself!" Take a day off today, and tomorrow will open the ancestral hall. ”
Xia Qing nodded like pounding garlic and left. (To be continued.) )
