The veteran families of the Great Liang Dynasty have been inherited for hundreds of years, even if they have been continuously suppressed by generations of saints, they are still struggling tenaciously and persistently on the edge of the political circle. It's just Taoguang and obscurity, but if you have the opportunity, you won't miss it, and you can't let your children and grandchildren be wiped out here.

Without the efforts of the people above, the competition between these new upstarts and the old clan will come out, and the new and old forces will compete for favor, and the people who will undoubtedly benefit from the power are the ones who benefit. After so many years of development and growth, the upstarts who followed the sages to build the country have grown to the point where the people in power are taboo, and if they want to control the development of the upstarts, at least they can't threaten his rule, so they naturally have to relax the old clans somewhat.

For the emperor, the people below compete for favor, which is also a means of domination. On the basis of the country's stability, it can be said that it is happy to see it. Small-scale competition for favor is tacitly tolerated.

And the Chi family, where the eldest lady of the Hua family is located, is the upper class of the upstarts, and the founding heroes are well-deserved, and they cannot be crowned marquis without military merits.

In the heyday of the Chi family, he held 9,000 households, and was known as the Marquis of 10,000 households. However, this kind of thing also needs opportunities, since the end of Taizong, the world has basically been calm, and the princess heirloom is just a generation is not as good as a generation, and now, it is only three thousand palms, if you check carefully, there are still imaginary numbers.

The eldest lady of the Hua family, Chi Shi, although she is touched by the side of the Hou Mansion, is not a descendant, and has established many branches for a hundred years, but she is just a cousin and cousin who has not produced five suits. However, in terms of identity, he is a real upstart.

The Duan clan is an old scholar clan, in this environment, it is really not too outstanding, after all, today still adheres to the ancestral style, and does not pay much attention to the old scholar clan, but it has been less relaxed for more than ten years.

is talking about the Hua family, Hua Shangshu was able to live in the old palace of the former dynasty as a scholar, because the ancestors of the Hua family were rare scholars among those who followed the saint to fight the world. And it doesn't occupy a border with the scholars. It can be said that the ancestors of the Chinese family took advantage of the identity.

To the current Shangshu of the Hua family, the Hua family has served as four Shangshu in the past hundred years. It can be said that generations have followed the emperor. The upstart of the upstarts. In the mouths of the old clans, there is also such a name: "The Hua family is a loyal dog under the sage." ”

Of course, there have been few people who dare to export like this in recent years.

If you talk about the relationship between the Hua family and the Duan family and the Chi family, it is natural that the Chi family and the Hua family are closer, after all, in the general environment, the Hua family and the Chi family are in the same trench, and when the conflict between the old and new forces was the most intense, this had to be divided into camps.

By the way, the Liu family, the daughter-in-law of the third room of the Hua family, is also an upstart, and she is not compatible with the old Shi clan, but compared with the Chi family, the foundation is slightly worse.

The Duan family can be said to be a very special existence in the Hua family. The reason why the Duan family is not very close to the Hua family is also inseparable from these old and new forces.

The eldest lady of the Hua family, Chi Shi: "The second brother and sister are not in good health, and they have to come over to ask their mother to be safe, and our concubine will count the rules of the second brother and sister strictly." ”

The Duan family knew that the eldest lady of the Hua family, the Chi family, had no interests entanglement with her, even if the Chi family was not in charge of the family, it would not be their turn to be in the second room. If you compete for favor, you are not the opponent of the Chi family. Chi can say this, and he must think so: "It's the mother's compassion." ”

There was a faint relationship between the two, not close, and there was no hostility.

As the eldest son's daughter-in-law, Chi asked Duan if there was a shortage of medicinal supplements. Duan replied one by one and expressed his gratitude, in short, the scene was quite harmonious. The Duan clan sat between the Chi clan and the Liu clan. I'm not in a hurry, I'm quietly on the side.

After a while, the mother-in-law came to report and asked about the dinner arrangement.

Chi said goodbye to the old lady and went to go about her business. The daughter-in-law in charge is always the busiest, don't look at the majesty, the burden is not small.

Liu Shi looked at Duan's sitting steadily, and did not retreat, probably because he had something to say to his mother-in-law, thinking that it was inconvenient for him to be here. Then followed Chi's got up and retired.

After leaving the two rooms in a row, Duan Shi looked at Hua Qingfang: "It's windy outside, Sister Fang go and pick up a cloak for her mother." ”

Hua Qingfang's face was black, this is really a mother and daughter, and the way to support people is the same, should you be so ironic.

In fact, Hua Qingfang wants to hear this kind of conversation that needs to be carried behind people's backs.

Hua Qingfang got up with a smile and said goodbye to the old lady: "Why is it cold, grandmother thinks it's inappropriate, do you want to let the mothers warm the house." Sister Fang turned around and brought a cloak to her grandmother. ”

The old lady looked at Yan Sù's face and softened a little: "Sister Fang is sensible, be good, let's go, grandmother is okay here." "It's not cold.

Hua Qingfang turned around and walked out of Rongxi Hall, but she really wanted to hear what was going to be said inside.

Duan got up: "My mother and daughter-in-law have been married into the Hua family for more than ten years, and I only have Sister Fang a daughter, my mother is generous, and my husband is relieved, but my daughter-in-law is terrified, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave an heir for my husband." ”

Duan's mood was complicated, if he said this before last night, he wouldn't have said it if he killed her. To say that the most proud thing about the Duan family in the Hua family is that his husband is more considerate than the Chi family, and the husband and wife go in and out together, which is really a fairy day.

But now he has to push himself into that situation with his own hands.

The old lady looked at the daughter-in-law below, her face was getting colder and colder, to say that the only thing that people could talk about in the second room was that the relationship between the husband and wife was very good, look at what this is going to do now. A family can be prosperous, and there are many children and grandchildren on the one hand, but more importantly, the family is stable and there are few chaos, so the Hua family can only accept concubines if they have thirty children, and they are afraid that the concubines are out of order. There are too many messy women, and this is the origin of chaos.

Mrs. Hua said unhurriedly: "Second daughter-in-law, you know, the son of the Hua family, you can only take a concubine if you have no children at thirty, what do you mean by saying this now." "The implication is what you should be an ancestor.

Duan gritted his teeth and the corners of his mouth were fishy: "If you go back to your mother, your husband will be in a good year, and Sister Fang can't do without her brother's help, and her daughter-in-law wants to show her husband." It's all daughters-in-law, and they don't fight for themselves. ”

The old lady looked at the daughter-in-law below coldly, she usually looked smart, but now she still looks stupid: "Come on, go to the eldest lady, the third lady will be called." Although it is a matter of one of your houses, they all live in the same courtyard, and they must always be ventilated. ”

After speaking, he looked at Duan's family: "But there are optimistic people." ”

Duan's slight bitterness: "Back to my mother's words, my daughter-in-law is also preparing first." ”

Duan couldn't say such a disgusting name. Duan's clenched fists, his fingernails were pierced into the flesh: "I still have to see my husband's likes and dislikes." ”

Duan's heart was cold, she was really a virtuous lady, and she could be regarded as doing her best for her husband.
