Mi Yingzhi and Mrs. Mi's mother and daughter simply said a few words, and let Zhang's open Chrysostom and promise to let Zhao Xiu travel, how could she not be overjoyed?

No one knows better than Zhao Xiu what a homely person Zhang is. She doesn't like to socialize, and she doesn't want her granddaughter to go out often to "show up". When Zhao Xiu lived in Fengxian when she was a child, she often had the opportunity to go to the temple to worship the Buddha, and it was okay to inspect the village in the field, and she would not be hindered if she talked and played in the clansmen's house. But after returning to the capital, the Zhang family kept saying that her granddaughter was a big girl, don't think about going out all day long. Because she doesn't go out much, even Zhao Xiu often stays at home. Zhao Xiu occasionally wants to go out alone, and there must be a high-sounding reason. Although most of the time, Zhao Xiu can get her wish, but she is still very happy to be allowed by her grandmother so happily.

Now that she looks at her cousin and cousin for the first time, it is even more pleasing to the eye.

Since Mrs. Mi can make Zhang's attitude so cooperative, she should really invite her cousin and aunt to her house from time to time in the future.

Mrs. Mi didn't know what kind of surprise she brought to Zhao Xiu, she continued to talk to the Zhang family about the customs of Hangzhou, and took care of Zhao Xiu from time to time. When she got acquainted with them, and the two sides did not have the strangeness they had when they first met, she tentatively mentioned the old things of Mi's.

In fact, there are many things, such as when Mi married into the Zhao family, what is the relationship between husband and wife after marriage, when did he have a child, when he gave birth to a daughter, when did Zhao Zhuo gain fame, when did the two die, and what was the relationship with Mi's stepmother and younger brother when he was alive...... Wait, wait, Zhao Wei had already told him all when he first met his cousin. Mrs. Mi is naturally no stranger. But Zhao Wei is still young after all, when Zhao Zhuo and Mi died, he was only four or five years old, and many things were heard from Zhang, and many of the inside stories were not very clear and could not be explained. If the couple wants to know more about Mi's experience when they were in their parents' home, they can only ask Zhang. Zhang's is because of Mrs. Mita's kindness. decided to marry Mi, who was an only child with a slightly lower family background, and I think I will have a better understanding of her situation at home.

Zhang sighed and talked about what he knew. After Mrs. Michael's death, Michaels lived with her father and stepmother. Her father and stepmother had another affair with her clan and had severed contact with her, so that no one knew the details of her situation, although the clan had been concerned about her situation. Mi's stepmother, Mrs. Mi, also needs to play the role of a good wife and mother in front of her husband, and she doesn't dare to abuse Mi openly. But there is something. It's not just a façade. Mi seems to have enough food and clothing at home, but in fact, he is in a very difficult situation, and he suffers from his stepmother's mental torture every day. For the sake of selfishness and to collect money, Mrs. Mi almost gave the fourteen-year-old Mi to her husband's Shangguan as a concubine. If it weren't for Mi's father, who was still a little shameful, for fear of being gossiped about, he didn't agree, but he was afraid that Mi would have fallen into an unbearable situation.

That year, Mi's father completed his three-year term in the local government, went to Beijing to report on his work, and asked for a promotion by the way. Michaelis accompanied. On the order of my stepmother, I went out to the silver building to get the jewelry she had ordered before, and happened to meet Lu's mother to buy paints for the Zhang family in the calligraphy and painting workshop next door to the silver building. Lu's mother is Zhang's dowry girl, and she also met Mrs. Mi when she was a child. She recognized that Mrs. Mi's head was inserted in Mrs. Mi's old silver hairpin, and the dress on her body was also changed from Mrs. Mi's old clothes, so she stepped forward to ask, and learned that it was Mrs. Mi's granddaughter, so she went back to the house and reported it to Zhang. In this way, Zhang contacted the granddaughter of the deceased and found that Mi was in a pitiful situation at home, but her father didn't know whether he really didn't know, or he didn't say anything if he knew it. actually allowed the eldest daughter to be called like a girl. Zhang's heart is that Mrs. Mi is not worthy, but she cherishes Mi's ability to maintain a gentle and good character in the face of adversity, and she is also knowledgeable and courteous, so it happens that she intends to choose a wife for her son. He opened his mouth to the old county and proposed to marry Mi as his daughter-in-law.

The old county prince has always been responsive to his young wife, although Mi's family background is a little lower, but the daughter of a fourth-grade official is not too bad, and she is barely worthy of Zhao Zhuo. As for Mi's father, he will have the opportunity to marry Houmen. How could it be refused? Although he regards himself as a scholar everywhere, he is actually very enthusiastic about his career. The marriage went very smoothly. After marriage, Mi and Zhao Zhuo fell in love, and it didn't take long for Zhao Wei to have him.

The Mi family's side did not have much light because of this marriage. Mi's father relied on the momentum of Jiannanhou Mansion to get a fat shortage. His daughter just got married, so he went to work, but he was not blessed, and he died of illness after only one year in office. Mrs. Mi lost her husband, so she took her son to the capital, cheekily relying on her stepdaughter to help, and did not contact the Mi clan. Even the ashes of Mi's father were placed in the suburbs of Beijing and were never sent back to their hometown.

After three years of filial piety, Uncle Mi took the imperial examination, and once again took advantage of the momentum of Jiannanhou Mansion to get the fat shortage of Chengdu County Order, and soon after he arrived, the news came that his sister and brother-in-law both died. After that, I never heard of his letters. It wasn't until Zhao Wei attacked the lord and got a letter from him that he received a letter from him. In the letter, he repeatedly argued that he did not ignore his niece and nephew, and that it was really difficult to make a living and the road was far away. Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu naturally didn't believe it, and his attitude was also very cold, but he didn't expect that on the way south, he heard the news that he was in office in Shandong and was the party in the name of Jiannanhou's uncle.

Mrs. Mi listened all the way, her eyes were red all the way, and she secretly wiped away her tears, and after hearing it, she turned sad to angry. Things are worse than Zhao Wei said! No wonder they have never received the news of Master Mi's death, it turns out that Mrs. Mi will bury her husband in a foreign place, so that he can't return to his roots! Even if she once had a gap with her clan, isn't it a deep hatred, could it be that if she sends her spirit back to her hometown, the clansmen will still drive her away? Why do you want to do things so badly? There is also Uncle Mi, who is his biological father, who has always loved him, and he even allowed his mother to treat his biological father like this, which is really unfilial!

Mrs. Mi was so angry that her voice trembled a little, and she said to Zhang: "Please also ask the old lady to tell your uncle where he is buried, so that the clansmen can go to pay respects." After so many years, if it weren't for my sister's letter, we wouldn't even know anything about my sister's marriage to the house, let alone the life and death of my uncle! Ge's is not virtuous, and he is not shallow! ”

Ge is Mi's stepmother, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu's nominal grandmother. Zhao Xiu had never seen her and was very indifferent to her. But where her grandfather's bones were, she had heard: "My grandfather never went into the ground." Hear about Ge ...... In order to help the soul, my grandmother went to Beijing to join her late mother, and she brought ashes instead of coffins. After arriving in the capital, he was once sent to a temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and when he went to Chengdu to take up his post, he took it with him. My brother and I have always put incense in front of my grandfather's tablet, and we have never seen his old man's bones. ”

Zhang nodded and confirmed this statement: "The in-laws said at the time that this was so that Uncle Mi could offer incense to his father from time to time, so as to fulfill his filial piety." She sneered, "They suddenly cut off the news, we were afraid that something would happen, and we also sent people to Chengdu to inquire." It is said that Uncle Mi's filial piety is known all over Chengdu County, and every time he is killed, he has to openly go to the temple to fast and worship the Buddha, making everyone know, so that people can give him a birthday gift for his deceased father. Using this method to collect wealth is also rare in the world. He later lost power and was ostracized in Chengdu County, but he was not completely innocent, but he was just guilty of public anger. ”

Mrs. Mi was angry and amused when she heard it, and said, "When my grandson learned the news a few years ago, he had already sent a letter to Pingdu Prefecture to question him. It's just that the time is still short, and I'm afraid the letter hasn't reached him yet. At that time, the grandson didn't know a lot of inside information, and if he knew, he would definitely be unable to help but scold again! Such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous son turned out to be my Mi descendant! ”

Zhao Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he straightened up and wanted to say something, but when he thought that this was the first time he saw his aunt and cousin, he endured it again. Anyway, with the Mi family here, they will deal with Uncle Mi. She is a junior, and she has a foreign surname, so why bother getting involved? This is different from when Zhao Jue was expelled from the Zhao family. She'll have to be a little patient.

After complaining about the superb deeds of Uncle Mi's mother and son, Zhao Xiu consciously guided his grandmother Zhang and talked about Mi's deeds before his death, so as not to make Mrs. Mi too angry and go home with an angry face. Unexpectedly, as he said this, Zhang couldn't help but redden. She said to Mrs. Mi: "My daughter-in-law is the most virtuous, and she gets along well with my son, and she gave birth to this pair of smart and well-behaved grandchildren for me. It's a pity that she was not blessed, so she went early. But as long as she is still there, I won't have been so difficult all these years, and I don't even have a partner. When Mrs. Mi heard this, her eyes also reddened.

Zhao Xiu carefully advised them: "The matter has passed, grandmother and cousin should not be too sad." The mother must have been reincarnated and lived a good life. Maybe after she was reincarnated, she and her father became a husband and wife again, and now they are living in harmony and beauty. ”

Zhang's burst into tears and laughed, and glanced at his granddaughter: "It's nonsense again." Even if your father and mother were reincarnated immediately, they are not as old as you now, where can they be husband and wife? You just talk nonsense in front of me, and you are not afraid of her jokes in front of your aunt and cousin. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and said nothing, and when he saw that Mrs. Mi was no longer sad, he felt more and more relieved.

At this time, the mother-in-law came to report: "The little marquis is here." Zhao Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

When Mrs. Mi and Mi Yingzhi came over, she sent someone to inform her brother. At that time, the messenger came back and said that the person guarding the door over there claimed that Zhao Wei was busy, but he was afraid that he might not be free. So she didn't have much hope. Is Zhao Wei busy so soon?

Zhao Wei came over, and before he entered the door, Zhang and Mrs. Mi quickly washed their faces and powdered them again. When he came in, he saw two female elders with dignified manners. He first greeted the Zhang family, and then saluted Mrs. Mi with a respectful smile, and then paused before turning to Mi Yingzhi and solemnly bowed: "I've seen my cousin." ”

Mi Yingzhi got up calmly, with a faint smile on her face, and bowed: "Cousin." With a bow, he sat back in his original position. From start to finish, there's nothing to find fault with.

But Zhao Xiu stood beside him, looked at Mi Yingzhi, and then at Zhao Wei, but faintly had a strange feeling. (To be continued.) )
