The ancestral home of Anning Hou Mansion is in Shunping County, and the maiden home of the old lady of Anning Hou Mansion is also in Shunping County.

The Situ family has been in Chengguan Town, Shunping County, for more than ten or twenty generations.

Originally, he was a wealthy businessman, but he was also a big family in Chengguan Town, Shunping County.

It's just that the scholars are industrial, and although the merchants are rich, they are not rich.

When Situ Kong's grandfather was young, he ran a business with his father, and learned a good martial arts by chance, and finally abandoned business to join the army.

The old lady's maiden family, the Lin family, was originally in the countryside more than ten miles away from Chengguan Town, and their ancestors handed down hundreds of acres of land, which can be regarded as a big landlord in Shunping County.

Situ Kong's grandfather had already married before joining the army, and this son was Situ Kong's father, that is, the second generation of the Marquis of Anning.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the last Hou Ye grew up in Shunping County, so he married the eldest girl of the Lin family at that time, and now the old lady of the Hou Mansion of Anning.

Since the first emperor gave the Anning Hou Mansion, the Situ family in Shunping County is naturally rising, and the Lin family, which has been married to Situ Kong's grandfather, has also followed the trend and slowly moved the family into Shunping County, becoming one of the three major families in Shunping County.

Another big family is naturally Princess Zhao's maiden family, the Guo family.

In the Anning Marquis Mansion in the capital, although the people are not prosperous, the Situ family who stayed in their hometown Shunping is extremely prosperous.

In the end, after more than ten or twenty generations of reproduction, the Situ family, which is now supported by the Anning Marquis Mansion in Kyoto, is already a veritable big family in Shunping County.

It's just that now the Situ family in Shunping County. The blood relationship with the Marquis of Anning has gradually faded, and the closest one is Situ Kong's cousin who was ranked down from the same great-grandfather.

According to the secret guard's report, this time the Situ family originally learned the news that Situ Kong was unconscious. Several elders of the family were ready to bring their people to Kyoto.

If the Situ family loses the big tree of the Anning Hou Mansion, although it is unlikely to collapse or be unable to move an inch, it will also lose a lot of benefits.

Thinking that the prince Situ Yang is only sixteen years old, although he is behind him as a backer in the General's Mansion, how can a weak son support the huge Anning Hou Mansion, he naturally needs the support of the family.

The family members are the same generation as Situ Kong. and indeed have some talents, and their hearts suddenly become alive, even if they can't get a knighthood. At the time when the Marquis of Anning's Mansion is now in turmoil, standing up to help may have unexpected benefits.

So the patriarch, at the suggestion of several clan elders, convened an emergency meeting. The most powerful people were selected from within the family. He was about to come to Kyoto under the leadership of the patriarch, that is, Situ Kong's cousin, and several elders, but he got a message before leaving.

That is the uncle of the Lin family who took his concubine into Kyoto a few days ago, but returned to Shunping from Kyoto in a hurry at this time.

The Situ family actually can't look down on the Lin family, which relies on women to rise to power, but Uncle Lin hurriedly returned to Shunping from Kyoto at this time, which naturally attracted the attention of the Situ family.

The Lin family has always been the kind of personality that is lurking and conducive to getting up early, if it is not unprofitable. Or if something happened in Kyoto that was not favorable to the Lin family, it was impossible for Uncle Lin to return to Shunping County at this time.

What happened in Kyoto that the Situ family didn't know?

Uncle Lin came back in a hurry. Naturally, it aroused the vigilance of the Situ family.

The Situ family has been operating in Chengguan Town for so many generations, and they are businessmen, and their connections in Shunping County are naturally not comparable to the Lin family, and even the Lin family has the seeds planted by the Situ family, so it didn't take long for the news to spread back to the Situ family.

It turned out that Situ Kong had woken up after being in a coma for eight days, but he was ordered by the saint to think about it at home behind closed doors.

It's just that although Situ Kong was ordered to think about it behind closed doors, because of Situ Yang's exploits in the battle to encircle and suppress the salt owls, the Anning Marquis Mansion was not as precarious as the outside world rumored.

There is a prince who has just made military exploits, and there is a very favored concubine in the palace, and the Anning Marquis Mansion is still as stable as Mount Tai at least for now.

This made the Situ family's people who were about to make a move hesitate suddenly.

After a few days of hesitation, news from Kyoto kept coming, both good and bad.

Soon the news that the Lin family had sent many clansmen to Beijing, the Situ family was naturally moved again.

In their opinion, the Lin family is just a foreign family of the Hou Anning Mansion, and the Situ family is the orthodoxy of the Hou Anning Mansion.

Since the Lin family can't be allowed to take advantage of the interests of the Situ family, in the face of interests, how can the Situ family be left behind?

So after some intensive deliberation and preparation, the Situ family and the Lin family set off from Shunping County almost at the same time.

On the third day after Situ Kong got the news, two groups of people from the Lin family and the Situ family arrived in the capital almost at the same time.

It's just that there are two more people in the Lin family's team than when they set off from Shunping County.

That is Situ Jin who joined halfway and the little nun of the White Lotus Nunnery, and Situ Jin named her Xiushang.

The Situ family led the team is Situ Kong's cousin, and now Situ Fei, the patriarch of the Situ family.

Situ Fei only glanced at Situ Jin, who was crying with the people of the Lin family, from a distance, and frowned and didn't speak again.

However, Situ Hao, who was riding a horse and walking beside Situ Fei's carriage, approached Situ Fei, who was looking out of the curtain, and asked, "Father, that should be the eldest brother's concubine Situ Jin." She is from our Situ family, should we bring her over? ”

Situ Hao has been to Kyoto several times and met Situ Jin a few times, so he can see it at a glance.

"It's just a concubine, she loves to be with the Lin family, so let her follow the Lin family. After passing the word, all clansmen are not allowed to contact Situ Jin. Otherwise, something happened, don't blame me for not reminding me. Situ Fei glared at Situ Hao fiercely with a cold face and said.

Although Situ Hao didn't understand what Situ Fei meant, he listened to Situ Fei's words very much, and hurriedly passed on Situ Fei's words to restrain the clansmen from having private contact with Situ Jin.

Situ Jin joined halfway, there must be a reason they didn't know, and with Situ Fei's understanding of the Marquis of Anning's mansion, this cousin was raised by the Xiaolin clan to be both arrogant and arrogant.

She only joined halfway with a little girl's ring, maybe she had caused some trouble.

Although Situ Jin is a member of the Situ family, seeing that the Lin family protects her like a baby, Situ Fei feels more and more that it is better to stay away.

Today's news, whether it is the old lady who had a stroke or the Xiaolin clan that is gone, they are not as noble as Mrs. An Ninghou Han and her children.

Even if Situ Jin is favored, he is just a concubine, what kind of benefits can he get from her?

Situ Fei is not so short-sighted!

After entering Beijing, the two families went to the Anning Hou Mansion one after the other, and the Lin family rushed ahead of the Situ family in order to take the lead.

The Situ family did not compete with the Lin family, but distanced themselves from it. (To be continued.) )
