Although Aunt Mi is Zhao Xiu's own aunt, she actually has no good impression of her uncle's family, and she can't say that she has feelings, and she can even say that she has old grudges.

On that day, Uncle Mi was left to take care of Mrs. Mi, firstly, because Mi Yingzhi's family made a request, and secondly, because Mrs. Mi really did not have a married female dependent who could handle it to help take care of the housework and deal with the exchange of gifts and other things. Mrs. Mi's fetus is unstable, her body is weak, and she needs to recuperate, and Mi Yingzhi is the daughter of the boudoir, so it is inconvenient to show her head, and she does not know much about the woman's childbirth. Therefore, Aunt Mi was left behind.

But now, with Mrs. Tao here, Aunt Mi's role is not much. Mrs. Tao is Mrs. Mi's maiden sister, and she has always been good friends with her, so she naturally takes care of her more carefully. Mrs. Tao's husband and wife have a steady official path, are familiar with the personnel of the capital, and are more appropriate than Aunt Mi in terms of hospitality, courtesy, and exchanges. Since Mrs. Tao came, Aunt Mi has gradually become the person in charge of the house, revolving around the diet and daily life of Mrs. Mi's mother and daughter every day, and she no longer has anything to do with the affairs of the house and the reception of foreign guests. And this kind of work can be done by any old and experienced mother-in-law, whether she stays or not, in fact, it doesn't mean much.

Zhao Xiu saw it clearly in his heart, but he felt that it would not cost much to raise more Uncle Mi and Mi Xiuming, and if someone attacked Zhao Wei one day and ignored his mother's relatives, he could also use the treatment of this mother and son to refute it. However, she is not very persistent in this matter, and now that Aunt Mi has taken the initiative to beg to go, she still takes refuge in her mother's relatives who seem to be quite reliable, so Zhao Xiu seems to have no reason to stop her.

She only said one sentence: "My aunt comes and goes freely." Why bother saying what you don't ask? You can stay and take care of your in-laws, it is the friendship between your concubines, what is there to forgive? It's just you going. I hope to stay somewhere to go, and greet them during the New Year's Festival in the future, so that I will not be blind. If you really encounter difficulties in the future, you might as well say that we don't dare to say that we have any face in the court, but a few taels of silver can still help. ”

Zhao Xiu spoke very cautiously, showing a little kindness. also left room for Aunt Mi to beg for Mrs. Mi, Mi Duzhi or Mi Yulian in the future, and their family would not be able to shirk. Therefore they speak only of money.

Aunt Mi didn't know if she heard it, she was grateful, and couldn't help choking up: "Thank you...... I knew you were good people......"

Zhao Xiu was issued a good person card. I could only smile and hand Uncle Mi a handkerchief. When she gradually collected her tears, she said: "If you set a date for moving, please ask your aunt to say it in advance, and my brother and I will practice it for you and your cousin." ”

Aunt Mi agreed with a smile.

Zhao Xiu returned to the upper room, and Mi Yingzhi looked at it curiously: "Is there anything wrong with my aunt looking for my sister?" Zhao Xiu smiled slightly, and told her that Aunt Mi wanted to leave, and she was a little surprised: "I also heard someone say earlier that my aunt found her long-lost cousin. There are also some contacts in private. I thought I was a serious relative. It's okay to be honest and bright, but our family is full of female dependents, and it's just inconvenient to entertain guests. But my aunt wanted to see her brother, and my mother and I never stopped her, so I didn't expect my aunt to want to move to her brother's house. ”

Aunt Mi said that she would wait for the confinement before leaving, and now that Mrs. Tao is here, her departure will not have a big impact on Mrs. Mi, but when she sent Mi Du away, Aunt Mi was left by Mrs. Mi, and now she wants to take refuge with her mother's brother, I am afraid that Mi Du's side will not be easy to explain. After all, he handed over Mrs. Mi's room, so what happened if he ran away without permission halfway?

Mi Yingzhi is not afraid of Midu's mother and son, but she is too troublesome.

She thought for a while and sighed: "That's it, our family always has to send a letter to their hometown, informing them that their mother has given birth to a younger brother, and when the time comes, let's send a message to Uncle Duzhi by the way, just say that my aunt is leaving by herself, and there is no reason for our family to stop people." It's just that before that, she had to ask someone to inquire clearly, and the official surnamed Qiu was indeed Uncle Mi's maiden brother.

Zhao Xiu smiled and said: "My aunt just told me that her brother was very angry when she learned about her situation in her husband's family, and said that she wanted to teach her uncle a lesson. It's better to tell your uncle directly, and then let him know that it was his brother-in-law who insisted on taking his uncle away, and said that he would teach his cousin to read and participate in the imperial examination in the future. In this way, my uncle must not dare to make trouble easily, right? Now he has no power or power, but any official can handle him, and his cousin is hanging him about the imperial examination, so he naturally knows what to do. ”

Mi Yingzhi felt reasonable, so she did so.

When he returned to the Jiannan Hou Mansion, Zhao Xiu reported the matter to his grandmother Zhang and brother Zhao Wei. Zhang and Zhao Wei were both a little surprised. Zhang also complained about his granddaughter: "Why didn't you tell your grandmother about such a big thing, and you agreed first?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "What's the difference if I agree or not?" My aunt wasn't confined to our house, she just stayed with my cousin to help out of kinship. Now that my aunt has given birth to a child, and my sister is still taking care of her, there is no need for my aunt to keep her after waiting for the confinement period. She is willing to live with her brother's family, so what's so bad? I see that my aunt still has good intentions towards our family, and if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't get used to her husband's family's faces, and was afraid that it would affect our family, she wouldn't have asked to leave. is also under the fence, living with my cousin's aunt, the same surname is rice, and our family has always treated her politely. And although it was her mother's brother over there, she hadn't seen her for many years, and she didn't know how long she could be treated. I have left a message for her to come to us if she has any difficulties in the future, and she will always be able to ensure that she has enough food and clothing. ”

Zhang sighed when he heard this: "It's not easy for her. has such a mother-in-law and husband on the stall, and an unconscious daughter, who has broken her heart for half her life, and she can't get a good word. She and her son are still understanding, if they can really leave that family for a long time and only live outside, it can be regarded as a blessing for their mother and son. She turned to her grandson, "Inquire and see what her brother's reputation is, and if he is a good one, how much of a support." The more powerful he is, the more your uncle will not dare to make a mistake, which is more useful than giving silver. ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "Grandmother rest assured. The grandchildren have all remembered. He also said: "I never thought that Mi Yulian would marry into that family, and that family's reputation is not very good." The main room is powerful, but the concubine and the eldest son. Nor is it a fuel-efficient lamp. Mi Yulian wants to be rich and leisurely, but I'm afraid it's difficult, and she has such a husband and mother-in-law, and her husband is disgusted by her father and mother-in-law, and she will suffer in the future. ”

Zhao Xiu was a little curious: "Brother knows that imperial merchant?" ”

This time it was not Zhao Wei who answered, but Zhang: "That family was originally a businessman in the south, and his wife was a person from the capital." My mother's family makes fat powder and oil, which can be regarded as a time-honored brand, but unfortunately there is only one only daughter in the family. I had to marry my daughter with the workshop and the secret recipe furniture. The head of the family got this wife and became an imperial merchant. Now the palace uses his family's incense powder. Business is booming. Because his wife has been childless for many years, but a concubine gave birth to a single seedling, the imperial merchant gradually had some intention of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife. Last year, his wife was pregnant, and he wanted to be bad as a concubine several times, and the last time he called the imperial merchant to meet him on the spot, he fell out of favor, and the mother and son were sent back to their hometown in the south together. This spring, his wife gave birth to a son, and the emperor and merchant divided the family. He divided the eldest son, and gave him only some land and money. told him to live in his hometown. The main wife said that she wanted to marry the eldest son, and then she would divide him out. People who know the inside story of his family are guessing what kind of marriage the wife will tell the eldest son, but they never expected that they would set up a family affair in the south, and they never expected that they were talking about the daughter of a criminal official. ”

The imperial merchant family who lived in the capital in this year, how could they not know that Jiannanhou and his uncle's family were not on good terms? Midozhi, the criminal official, committed a real crime, and some people looked at him unpleasantly, and there was no reason to recover. Giving such a marriage to the eldest son not only cut off his way to make a fortune from his wife's family, but also made him marry the enemy of Jiannanhou Mansion as soon as he got married, and even the Haoqiang in Shandong would be angry with him. Mi Duzhi doesn't have much property, and he can't even give financial support, so what future can the eldest son have in the future?

But in Guangdezhou, people who don't know the inside story only say that Mi Duzhi has a nephew of the Hou Ye, even if he is dismissed from his official position and fame, he is still somewhat decent. If you climb him, you will have the opportunity to climb the Jiannan Hou Mansion, and then further climb the Guangping Palace. Mi Duzhi also didn't know the situation in the imperial merchant, and only listened to the matchmaker say that it was the only son of the imperial merchant who had a great chance to inherit the family property in the future, so he agreed to the marriage. Whether it's the eldest son or Midozhi, when they got engaged, they thought they had taken advantage of it.

And Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu can already foresee what the eldest son of the emperor after knowing the truth will be towards Mi Yulian, the fiancée who ruined his future.

Zhao Xiu asked with some curiosity: "Since that imperial merchant lives in the capital, will Mi Yulian also come to the capital in the future?" It won't get tangled up in our house, will it? ”

Zhao Wei shook his head with a smile: "How can the wife of that family allow the eldest son to sway under her own nose?" Her son is still young, and he can't withstand any twists and turns, so he naturally has to send people away from home to feel at ease. Maybe the wedding will be held in the capital, but after the marriage, it will not stay for long. Let's not pay attention to it, it will be at least two years later, if that imperial businessman has the eyesight, I am afraid that he will not even give us a post. ”

Since the party did not post, the Jiannan Hou Mansion naturally did not need any response.

Zhao Xiu said with a smile: "This is very true, even if the imperial businessman doesn't have the eyesight to see and sends a post, it's nothing if we ignore it." How many posts does the concierge receive a day, do we have to pay attention to every invitation? ”

Zhang scolded their brother and sister with a smile: "You two know how to promote narrowness, and you are not afraid of making people laugh." ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and grabbed her hand and said, "It's good to let others laugh at it, my mouth grows on others, can I still stop people from telling it?" I'm not missing a piece of meat anyway. Grandmother, on the other hand, is now more and more well-informed and well-informed in the capital, and you know many things that I have never heard of. ”

Zhang said angrily: "The old ladies are bored for a long time, what other pastime do they have besides chatting about some gossip?" You girl knows how to joke grandmother. With this effort, it is better to think about it, how to deal with the post of the Marquis of Zhending. ”

She was talking about a post sent by the Marquis of Zhending early this morning. Zhending Hou Qianjin was assigned to marry the prince of Fenyang, and the wedding date was set for October this year. Before she got married, relatives and friends had to hold a small party to add makeup to her. After all, the Fenyang Royal Mansion is located in Jiading, and when the wedding is over, she will return to Jiading with her husband, and I don't know when she will see her relatives and friends again.

But somehow, she actually posted a post to Zhao Xiu. Except for the time when they met in the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Xiu had never dealt with the daughter of Zhending Hou, and the other party's grandmother even offended her. What is the purpose of Zhending Hou Qianjin who wrote this post? (To be continued......)
