Out of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, An Rong got into the carriage.

She did not go back to the Xiao Guogong Mansion directly, but went back to the Hou Mansion.

In front of the Hou Mansion, there are two mighty lions, and the gilded plaques shine in the sun.

The carriage came to a slow stop.

Over there, a little servant led a few horses, and a carriage came over.

When Zhao Cheng saw it, he smiled and said, "Young grandmother, I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion is a visitor." ”

An Rong lifted the curtain and glanced at the horse and the carriage.

The carriage was covered with wool, but there was no marking, saying who had come from it.

Peony came over to help An Rong get out of the carriage, An Rong stepped up the steps, and asked the doorkeeper, "Who is coming to the Hou Mansion?" ”

The doorkeeper hurriedly replied, "It's the Shen family in Qizhou." ”

After speaking, the little guy added, "I brought a heavy gift." ”

Hearing this, An Rong smiled in his eyes.

As Xiao Zhan said, the Shen family in Qizhou really intends for his father to be the patriarch, otherwise he will not bring heavy lily.

An Rong took the hem of her skirt and stepped into the house.

Shotsuru-in, main house.

Several elders of the Shen family in Qizhou were chatting with the old lady, of course, talking about the old lady, they were all cousins of the old lady.

When the old lady was alive, the old lady did not dare to ask him about his youth, for fear of provoking the old lady to think of his parents and brothers who died in vain.

This time, listening to the old lady's naughty child, the old lady burst into tears and laughed.

Who would have thought that a serious old lady would naughtily dig out the bird's nest when he was young, but the bird's nest smashed down and smashed the bird's egg on his head?

There was also a cousin who helped the old lady carry the black pot and was beaten by the board. As a result, the old lady was extorted from two months' monthly money.

When An Rong spared the screen, he happened to hear the cousin sigh, "When people are old, they are particularly easy to remember the things of the past, as if those things happened yesterday, and now their temples are gray, and both feet are in the coffin ......." ”

As he spoke, another old man sighed, "I don't know how many days I have to live, I still remember when I was young." We sat on the rockery with Brother Siming. While throwing stones into the lake, he thought about the future, and he had great ambitions, hoping to be like his uncle. Be an upright counselor. The emperor of the previous dynasty was unconscious. couldn't hear the advice, and he also killed his uncle's family, forcing Brother Siming to abandon literature and martial arts. Qizhou Shen family ....... ”

Speaking of this, several old men began to blame themselves.

At the beginning, it was true that the Shen family was too affectionate, and in order to protect themselves, they actually cleared themselves up and falsely claimed to be a family.

The attitude of several old men to admit their mistakes was very good, and two old ladies still had an impression, because the old lady had mentioned it when he was dying.

Although the old lady and the Shen family in Qizhou broke up, there is a good saying, there is a debtor who is wronged, and it is Shen Zulang who makes the mistake, not so a clan, and the old lady also thinks about those siblings.

It's just that the old lady is stubborn, so let him take the initiative to admit his mistakes, which is impossible.

Now that the Shen family in Qizhou has come to the door, how can the old lady cut them out?

No, several old men proposed to go to the old lady's grave and offer incense to the old lady, and the old lady wiped her tears and agreed.

The maid stepped forward and said, "Old lady, the fourth aunt and grandmother are back." ”

The old lady wiped away her tears, and when she saw An Rong stepping in, she had a smile in her eyes.

An Rong stepped forward to salute, and the old lady introduced An Rong, "These are the elders of the Shen family in Qizhou. ”

After speaking, he introduced An Rong to them, "This is my fourth granddaughter who married into the Xiao Guo Mansion." ”

Calm and blessed, give them a salute.

Several old men praised An Rong fiercely.

Then he sat down for a moment, and then got up and took his leave.

An Rong knew that they were leaving, because the carriages had all arrived in front of the Hou Mansion.

Hou Ye personally sent them out of the house.

Inside the house, the old lady asked An Rongdao, "Is there any cure for Xuanping Hou Shizi's illness?" ”

An Rong nodded and smiled, "It's just that if you are poisoned, the detoxification will be fine." ”

An Rong said, and Peony pouted, "Xuanping Hou Shizi is fine, it is the young grandmother who has something to do, she was calculated by the eldest aunt and grandmother again, and the eldest aunt and grandmother did not invite the young grandmother to go to the Xuanping Hou Mansion to treat the Xuanping Hou Shizi, she asked the young grandmother to apologize to the Xuanping Hou Mansion." ”

The third lady sat there, and as soon as she heard Peony say this, her face pulled long, "Let An Rong apologize?" Which door is the courtesy, which door is the person who apologizes?! ”

After snorting coldly, he continued, "She calculates you, and you still help Xuanping Hou Shizi to heal?" ”

An Rong smiled helplessly, "If you don't treat the disease, the prince of Xuanping Hou will really die, and the black cauldron of the Xianggong will only have to be carried for a lifetime." ”

"You!" The third lady shook her head, not knowing what to say.

It is still necessary to be comfortable and worried, and to be a wife, you must put your husband's reputation first.

The second lady sat on the side and sipped tea lightly.

There was an appreciative smile in her clear, watery eyes.

She made people stare at her, not because she was afraid that An Rong would suffer a loss, but with the protection of the Xiao Guo Mansion, she couldn't suffer a big loss, at most she was a little angry in words.

She was just curious about how An Rong handled things, and she could tell that An Rong was not willing to deal with Shen Anyun at all.

Listening to the secret guard's fortune telling to the Taoist priest, saying that the eldest aunt and grandmother Kefu would not stop her, and the prince of Xuanping Hou would be killed by her sooner or later.

Thinking about it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

To be honest, if An Rong hadn't made the first move, she would have called someone to go.

This is the best reason to divorce a wife.

It is estimated that in a few hours, my aunt and grandmother will be taken home, right?

With her restless nature, she had to be far away.

Seeing that there was some silence in the room, the third lady changed the topic and said, "The Shen family in Qizhou used to be inseparable from the Hou Mansion, but now they come to visit and give heavy gifts, and I don't know why?" ”

The old lady fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand and said, "I can see that I sincerely seek peace, but they have looked at me and Hou Ye several times, and they seem to have something to say, there should be something else." ”

As he was talking, the maid outside hurriedly came in and said, "Old lady, the seventh old lady has knelt down for the Hou Ye!" ”

The old lady was stunned, "Do you know why you kneel?" ”

The maid shook her head, "The slave only saw it from a distance, and didn't dare to step forward." ”

Although the Hou Mansion has not yet recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, the seventh old lady is an elder, and kneeling down to the Hou Ye in front of the public is not a trivial matter, and he is not the only one, the other three old ladies also knelt.

The old lady's face was solemn.

When the Hou Ye came back, the old lady couldn't wait to ask him, "The seventh old lady kneels down, what are you asking for?" ”

Hou Ye rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Seventh Uncle, they knelt down to beg me to be the patriarch of the Shen clan in Qizhou. ”

The old lady was stunned, she never dreamed that this would be the case.

"You promised?" The old lady's voice trembled.

Hou Ye nodded his head.

He agreed.

It was forced to agree.

If he didn't agree, those elders would not be able to kneel for a long time, didn't this force him to agree?

The old lady didn't say anything, only sighed, "As the head of the Shen clan, the responsibility on your shoulders is not light. ”

An Rong sat aside and said, "Because the Hou Mansion is in Kyoto, the Shen family of Qizhou has not participated in the imperial examination for several years, and many people have delayed it like that, but I am afraid that the bottom of my heart has a lot of complaints about the Hou Mansion, and if I really want the Shen family of Qizhou to return to my father, I have to give them enough benefits." ”

An Rong thought, the Shen family of Qizhou was in such a hurry to enter Beijing, and it was the clan brother who had the best relationship with the old lady at the beginning, and they did not hesitate to come to Beijing in their old age, and even knelt down to beg each other.

For the future of the Shen family.

After all, the imperial examination is held once every three years.

If you miss it, you will have to wait for another three years, you can't afford to wait, do you have to wait until the father and son are in the same department?

Hou Ye nodded, "An Rong is right. ”

The old lady was still a little uneasy and said, "It is not difficult to recommend them to participate in the imperial examination, as long as Qiongshan Academy, there are two gentlemen who jointly recommend them to be eligible to participate in the imperial examination, but the difficult thing is that they are afraid of raising a group of wolves." ”

The second lady said with a smile, "The old lady is too worried, now the Shen family in Qizhou, even the ancestral house has been burned, they came to Beijing just to gain a foothold in Kyoto, the Hou Mansion is their backer, they don't dare to come to the yin behind their backs, and they don't have that ability, besides, how can the Hou Ye be the patriarch for twenty or thirty years, no matter how big the grievance is, how many people still remember?" ”

The old lady nodded, "It's okay." ”

Hou Ye can be the patriarch of the Shen clan in Qizhou, that is a good thing.

There are many descendants in Qizhou, as long as they support three or five, it will be a big help in the court, which is beneficial and harmless to the development of the Hou Mansion, of course, the premise is that they are loyal to the Hou Ye.

Moreover, the old lady wants to develop the Hou Mansion and become a Kyoto family, so that one day, the Shen family in Qizhou will cry and beg to come back and beg them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

Today, the old lady's last wish has been fulfilled.

It was too late for the old lady to rejoice.

After dinner, I sat down for a while.

An Rong got up and went back.

When passing by the front yard, An Rong saw the gazebo in the distance, and there was a hearty laughter.

From afar, it seemed that there were several handsome teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old talking and laughing.

Seeing An Rong watching, a maid came over and said, "Fourth aunt and grandmother, those young masters are the young masters of the Shen family in Qizhou. ”

An Rong nodded.

Step forward and keep going.

Out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Peony helped An Rong to get into the carriage.

Zhao Cheng stood aside and said, "Young grandmother, the second young master of the Xuanping Hou Mansion has suffered thirty boards. ”

"Only 30 boards?" An Rong frowned slightly.

Poisoning and persecuting his brother-in-law, this is not a trivial matter, but it is enough to beat him for thirty years?

Zhao Cheng nodded.

It is true that there are only 30 boards, and there is no more board.

"What about Shen Anyun?" An Rong asked, furrowing his eyebrows. (To be continued......)
