A sudden laugh suddenly burst out of the crowd of people who were sitting: "The third nephew remembers that he is a brother this time." Think about it more than ten years ago, when your father just died, you and Mrs. Tai didn't say that. It's not a hot day, and he insisted that the second brother didn't want to see the unfilial son of the eldest nephew, so he took it out early and buried it. At that time, I seemed to have said that you didn't have such an unfilial big brother, but? ”

The person who spoke was the cousin of the old marquis, the sixth in line, and he had always been a bastard. Although he is not greedy and lustful like the old marquis, he likes to gamble. Because they are all bastard personalities, they have a good relationship with the old marquis brothers.

When Jiao married into the Hou Mansion, he was still a child, and he was very cared for by Jiao. Sister Hui came to the door, and he should help with this as soon as he could.

Chu Jinzhang has always disliked this uncle, but what he said back then, the elders of the clan here listened to it, so his face turned red and black and turned around several times.

Without waiting for Chu Jinzhang to speak back, the old lady here said loudly: "Uncle He, although you are a rich idler by yourself, you should always know more about this rules and etiquette." It was true that the boss didn't come back to give his father a pillar of incense, and it was not worth it for the old marquis to say that. Now that Brother Zhang said this, it is also reasonable, is it possible that he can still watch a few small people in the big house go out to open a mansion and be bullied? Holding the family property, I am afraid that it is difficult to protect it, and no relatives will come to the door to fight the autumn breeze. ”

The old lady meant that the six old ladies did not understand the rules of righteousness, and they also clearly said that he wanted to seek wealth from his nephew's family. The sixth old lady was immediately so angry that her whole face turned purple, and she puffed out her face and took care of herself for a while.

Seeing this, Chu Jinzhang was about to take the opportunity to seal the case, and the black-faced old lady on the other side spoke again: "The second sister-in-law is a person who understands etiquette and etiquette, so what happened when the eldest brother heard that there was always a secret guard from our Anning Houfu who went to assassinate the eldest nephew?" ”

"Oh, Uncle Thirteen misunderstood, it was a dangerous battlefield, and my nephew sent a guard to protect my eldest brother. This is all outside the world, and my mother doesn't know about it. Chu Jinzhang hurriedly bowed and explained.

"Oh, does the sister-in-law in the back house know a thing or two about the things outside?" The black-faced old lady asked again.

"Brother Thirteen, let's hear it."

"I heard that there was a child left behind the second brother back then, and that child is still alive in the house. It is not appropriate to divide the family without him this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar. Even inside the compartment, Qiao Shi and the others couldn't help but look at the old lady.

"The thirteenth brother stays in Jianzhou all the year round, where did you hear about the situation in Beijing?" The old lady said lightly

"It's not that I heard it, but someone took the initiative to tell me that the person who came to tell me was a maidservant girl next to the child."

"Hehehe, joke, the thirteenth brother is just a young man who is not confused, and his brain is so unclear? If it is true as you say, there is such a child, how can I hide it all these years, and how can I have to let him have some servant girls by his side. ”

"Clan elders, the maidservant mentioned by the Thirteenth Master is a slave." As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a green-shirted woman suddenly appeared in the hall, knelt on the ground, and said slowly.

"You, you, how did you get in? Come! Come! Seeing this, Chu Jinzhang was furious and roared.

Immediately, a guard who was guarding outside came in.

"Bring me this unknown woman."

"Wait, third nephew, look at it, isn't this dress worn by the second-class maid in your house, where is the origin unknown." The black-faced old lady said slowly.

Everyone nodded in unison.

"I've never seen this woman, she must have come in disguise, otherwise why don't you know the rules of the Anning Waiting Mansion, and the subordinates can't enter the ancestral hall."

"Third master, it's impossible for you not to know the slave maid, the slave maid used to be the eldest maid Qiu Ju next to the old lady." Qiu Ju raised her head and replied.

In the cubicle, the old lady stared at Sister Hui with a pair of sharp eyes, as if she wanted to stare at a big hole in her beautiful face.

Sister Hui knew that the old lady was panicked.

"You're all out there?"

"Oh, why don't grandmothers listen to it." Sister Hui smiled faintly and said.

Qiu Ju's appearance made Chu Jinzhang instinctively feel that this matter was not good, and he also understood that this was a pre-planned game.

Therefore, regardless of everyone's eyes, he insisted on asking someone to drag Qiu Ju out.

"Master Hou, the Tenth Young Master is back, and he is coming to the ancestral hall at this time." The housekeeper hurriedly came and walked up to Chu Jinzhang and whispered.

When Chu Jinzhang heard this, he waved his hand: "When he comes back, he will come back, take him to Jinyuan to put incense on his mother first, and then go to the old lady to ask An to meet him, what to do in the ancestral hall!" ”

The housekeeper understood that this meant to lure Brother Xuan out. He was about to do it, but when he turned around, he saw that Brother Xuan'er had already appeared on the stone steps, and what made him and everyone in the hall even more shocked was that the person next to Brother Xuan was actually Chu Jinmin, who should be in the northern Xinjiang or in the case of Chu Jinzhang at this moment.

"Hello uncles, nephews please greet you. Third brother. Chu Jinmin walked into the house with his head held high all the way and said loudly.

Chu Jinzhang's whole person was in the rain and fog, but fortunately, after many years of officialdom, he could calmly bow his hand, and said in his mouth: "Big brother." ”

But the women in the compartment room were not so calm, and Qiao Shi and the others stared at the wall with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see through the wall whether the person outside was really Chu Jinmin. The old lady even fell directly to the ground with a pair of eyes, her face was full of hideousness. Even Sister Hui, who single-handedly planned this variable, never expected that it should have been replaced by Chu Jinmin when Brother Xuan appeared on the stage. Doubts flashed in my heart, and surprises and sourness filled everything.

"Shouldn't the eldest nephew be on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang at this moment? Why did you come back all of a sudden? The black-faced old lady came back to her senses first and asked

"Uncle Thirteen is worried. Please rest assured that my nephew's return to Beijing this time was called by the Holy Lord, so as soon as he returned to Beijing, he went directly to the palace to meet the Holy Lord, and did not go back to the house to greet the uncles and mothers. I went to Beijing last night to discuss matters, and I only came back today. I never thought that as soon as I entered the house, I heard that the third brother was going to split up, so I hurried here again. ”

"By the way, I still ran into this unfilial son on the road, and I didn't know how to come in to ask for peace to my grandfathers and give incense to my ancestors, so I took him in." Chu Jinmin pointed to Brother Xuan behind him and explained.

Everyone knew that the Holy One was urgently calling, and no one could say anything.

"It just so happens that the eldest nephew is back, so the third nephew will hand over the share given to the eldest nephew." The fourth old lady stroked his beard and said with a smile.

He was so happy at the moment that he didn't need to look at it to know that the woman in the compartment didn't know what to look like.

"Exactly, big brother, this is your share." After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the case and handed it to Chu Jinmin.

Chu Jinmin was looking at it in his hand, and Brother Xuan suddenly pointed to Qiu Ju kneeling in the hall and said, "Hey, you are not Qiu Ju next to the third sister, why are you kneeling here?" What about my sister? ”

"Dad, she's the one next to my sister." Brother Xuan looked at Chu Jinmin again and emphasized.

The black-faced old lady raised his eyes and looked at Chu Jinzhang: "Since Brother Xuan knows everything, it can be seen that he is really from your mansion." ”

"Since you are the person next to the little girl, how can you kneel here? You girl, don't you understand the rules that people can't enter the ancestral hall? Chu Jinmin pointed at Qiu Ju and asked sharply.

"Eldest nephew, don't be busy blaming, we heard a ridiculous thing from the thirteenth brother today, if this matter is serious, maybe the piece of paper in your hand will have to be thinned." The sixth old lady smiled.
