Chapter 226: The Ancestral House
It turned out that Qin Zhiwu approached Qin Zhixian to discuss and buy his family's ancestral house.
Mrs. Yun said to the old lady: "The second aunt knows the situation of our family, and there are only about a dozen people up and down, and she used to live in a house that is less than five in, but now she only lives in the west courtyard, and although the ancestral house is cleaned every day, it is also empty. The eldest lord came to our lord and said that we don't need to move out, but still live in the west cross courtyard, and only build a wall to separate it, and our lord is willing to listen to it, but I don't know what your old man means, so he called me to ask today. ”
The old lady looked at Jin Yi and said, "Listen, the house in the west of the city I gave them is also five-in, but I am still not satisfied, and now I am thinking about the ancestral house." ”
Mrs. Yun said again: "The eldest lady also came over in person, saying that they can't come back every year to worship their ancestors, so they think about buying the ancestral house back, which can be regarded as a filial piety to the ancestors." ”
The old lady sneered: "If they really still have this filial piety, they won't go out to set up their own doors." ”
Madame Yun lowered her head, not daring to say more.
When the three brothers of the old Qingrong Marquis split up, because the three old ladies were concubines, they moved the ancestral hall from the ancestral house, and it was built between the Changfeng Marquis Mansion and the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, which was enshrined together by the two families.
Jin Yi thought about it, the outside world didn't know about Qin Zhiwu's expulsion, the old lady was in the same sect before, and she only said that she was self-reliant, which was considered to be his face, but he didn't know how to be grateful, and he started the idea of the ancestral house, presumably because he didn't want to be criticized for having no ancestors to sacrifice under the New Year. But the ancestral house has been assigned to the three old ladies' family, and the Qingrong Marquis Mansion has no right to interfere too much.
Listening to Mrs. Yun's meaning, presumably her family is not well-off, otherwise the family would not be crowded in a courtyard. Guarding such a large house, the money spent on repairs every year is probably also a burden, if the old lady does not agree, although she will not say anything on the surface, it is inevitable that there will be complaints behind her back.
Jin Yi comforted the old lady and said: "Ancestor, don't be angry, this matter should not be managed by our family, now Jin Xuan is the patriarch, if you want to ask, you should ask him." ”
The old lady nodded, she also understood what was involved, but when she thought of Qin Zhiwu being so restless, she was really angry in her heart, and after listening to Jin Yi's words, she said to Mrs. Yun: "In fact, since the ancestral hall moved out, that house is your family's property, whether it is sold or rented naturally depends on your own meaning, if you are not at ease, write to ask Jin Xuan." ”
Mrs. Yun nodded in response, and Jin Yi asked her again: "I heard that the eldest aunt went back to her parents' house to serve the sick, and now she has returned?" ”
Mrs. Yun nodded a little blankly, but she didn't know the inside story.
The third lady An happened to walk in, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Just ask my sister about this matter, I know best." ”
An's is now more than two months pregnant and walks carefully. She was a person who couldn't be idle, and she really didn't want to lie down every day, since Jin Yi persuaded her, she often got up and walked around, and then heard that she was coming, and hurriedly helped Siluo to rush over.
Jin Yi got up and greeted her, "How is the third uncle and aunt doing lately?" ”
An Shi took her hand and smiled: "I am very good now, I can eat and sleep, and my mother said that I have gained weight." I'm going to your house tomorrow, I've been bored at home for so long, I want to go out for a walk, I don't dare to go anywhere else, I don't have to worry about you anymore. ”
After a while, An turned the topic to Lin: "Before, my sister-in-law went back to Luoyang, saying that her mother was seriously ill, but in fact, his whole family was still in Liangzhou at that time and did not return, what kind of illness did she serve?" ”
An's smiled Yan Yan, she and the Lin family used to look at each other's eyes, and when they lived together, they secretly quarreled, and now when they talk about Lin's experience, they are a little gloating, "Sister Yi, you should know, her father was reprimanded by the emperor a while ago, and he could have returned to the capital to live, but he returned to the old house in Luoyang." The sister-in-law didn't stay at home for a month, but she still came back, and the uncle is now in the military department, and her official position has been promoted to a new level, which is more beautiful than before, why didn't she come back? ”
Jin Yi was surprised in his heart, he had just heard Sima Yulou say that Qin Zhiwu seemed to have climbed into the relationship with Luo Hai, the squire of the Ministry of War, but he didn't expect that he would be in the position of Sipinlang in just over a month.
Qin Zhiwu is indeed good at drilling, when he was in the Ministry of Officials in the past, he wanted Qin Xiang to go to the younger brother of Lord Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, to be the successor, nothing more than for the promotion of the official position, but where can the Ministry of Officials be able to go to the Ministry of War?
Zhenguo Gonghuan Court is now in the position and the middle book order, it is already a high position above 10,000 people under one person, and he is also the secretary of the military department, it can be said that among the six departments, the military department is the most powerful, and even the officials and households have to rely on their snorts.
If it weren't for the emperor's view of Huan Ting's face, Lin's father Lin Zheliang Mo said that it would be possible to belittle Shi and return to the field. As long as the Lin family understands this, they will naturally not stay in their parents' house anymore.
Thinking that the Lin family used to think that she was married, she was arrogant and self-reliant in front of her husband, and then Qin Zhiwu had adultery with the maid one after another, which caused her to lose face, but now she wants to go back and breathe again, I don't know what kind of posture she is doing.
Thinking of this, Jin Yi couldn't help but glance at An's, and sure enough, seeing her eyebrows fluttering, she asked softly, "Have you invited her to tomorrow's birthday banquet?" ”
Jin Yi felt funny, shook her head and said, "The invitation was prepared by the county lord, so I don't know." ”
"I don't think she dares to go to your mansion,......" An said with a smile, suddenly feeling that the old lady was staring at him, she smiled busily, and said: "She will definitely go to the Yishan Hall's meeting next month, and I will go to see it then." ”
At noon, the old lady left Mrs. Yun for dinner, and before Mrs. Yun said goodbye after the meal, she asked cautiously: "Second aunt, I don't know where Jinxuan lives in Jiangnan now?" If you want to send him a letter, where should I send it? ”
The old lady thought for a while and said to Jin Yi: "It's better to rely on my sister's help to do this, your prince will definitely be able to contact Jin Xuan, you go to the letter and tell me about it, so that Jin Xuan can reply as soon as possible." ”
Jin Yi nodded and said to Mrs. Yun: "Don't worry, Aunt Tang, I'll write a letter when I go back." However, if the letter goes to the post station, it will be fast, but the prince has no official correspondence with that side, and this letter is afraid that it will be sandwiched in the freight and sent over, and it will probably take a month to go back and forth. ”
In fact, according to Jin Yi's thoughts, Jin Xuan will not care about this matter, and he is just going through the motions. But he didn't want Qin Zhiwu to get the ancestral house so quickly, and if he delayed it for a few more days, he would be angry with the old lady.
Sure enough, the old lady's face turned pale, and she said to Mrs. Yun: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I also know that your family is in some difficulties now, and it is naturally tight to rely on the gift of one person's fortune, so if you want to sell this house, I have no opinion." …… I still have a house in the city, which is not big, but it is only three entrances, and I will give it to you, and you go back and discuss it with the offering, and then move to live there, so that it will not be inconvenient to be crowded with them in the future. ”
The old lady didn't want her family to get too close to Qin Zhiwu again, and would rather be a good person in front of her own people, so she told Yingxue to go to the back to find out the deed.
Mrs. Yun was surprised and delighted, and she didn't dare to say busily, and the old lady said: "It's right for our family to help each other, you don't have to be polite to me, and you will often come and walk around in the future." ”
Yingxue took out the deed and handed it to Mrs. Yun, she thanked her for her kindness and said a lot of good things before leaving. (To be continued.) )
