Zhao Xiang was slapped by Niu's and locked in the room to prevent her from going out, not even dinner. Zhao Xiang cried and begged for her grandmother's forgiveness, but it didn't make her angry.

The Niu family was also angry with Zhao Ze and Zhao Yan's brothers.

Zhao Yan didn't take the silver given by the Zhang family home, but went directly to the Criminal Department, and together with the silver ticket that had been hidden for a long time on his body, he went through the procedures for redeeming Aunt Xiaoqian and exchanged it for a release certificate, which was simply his own opinion. Thinking that at the beginning, she was in prison hoping that her grandchildren would find a way to rescue her as soon as possible, but Zhao Xiang told her that her grandson, who had always loved her, planned to throw her in prison and only ransom Aunt Xiaoqian, so after regaining her freedom, she immediately decided to teach their mother and son a profound lesson. But Zhao Yan was not taught at all, but became more and more unfilial, not only did he lose the money he got from fighting the autumn wind, but also insisted on redeeming Aunt Xiaoqian despite the wishes of her grandmother, which is really infuriating!

Zhao Ze is also not a well-behaved child, he failed to get what she wanted from Zhang's hands, and he doesn't know if he deliberately didn't do it, or if he really didn't do it. What made Niu even more angry was that he never gave up persuading her to return to her hometown with her family. How could she possibly agree to such a thing? Now there is such a mountain of gold and silver as the Hou Mansion that I don't rely on, but I want to go back to the countryside to farm? A fool would do such a thing!

Niu looked at the two eldest grandsons, and his heart was slightly cold. She is not young anymore, she is almost fifty years old, her husband died early, her son also died, the two eldest grandsons are not familiar with each other, and the eldest granddaughter is just a girl, and sooner or later she will get married. Who will be able to provide for her in the future? If you count on the eldest grandson, she will not worry about food and clothing at most, but it is difficult to be the master of the house. As for the second grandson. With their current bad relationship, it's good that he doesn't kick her out of the house. Even now, the Niu family didn't dare to imagine what her situation at home would be like if the family's silver was not in the hands of her and Zhao Xiang, or in the hands of Zhao Yan's brothers and sisters.

She finally turned her attention to Zhao Yan, who was only five years old.

Although Zhao Yan is a concubine, he is a man, and he is still young. Good teaching. As long as she keeps Zhao Yan by her side from now on, even if Aunt Xiaoqian comes back in the future, she will not return the child to her biological mother. After a long time, Zhao Yan will definitely get closer to her grandmother.

Niu's heart started with wishful thinking, and began to think about what reason to use to get the little grandson to be raised. Wait until the child is here. How should he be taught, leaving his biological mother and siblings behind, and honoring her grandmother wholeheartedly.

She was distracted, and because she unexpectedly didn't scold her two grandsons for too long, Zhao Ze and Zhao Yan looked at each other and felt very surprised. Zhao Ze whispered to Niu: "Grandmother? ”

Niu waved his hand impatiently: "Go back to the house and reflect on yourself!" You are not allowed to eat tonight! Also, ask Sister Man to bring Brother Yan to me and let him sleep with me at night. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned. Somewhat nervously asked, "What did grandmother call him to do?" He is young and ignorant, and he loves to make trouble. I can't sleep well at night, so don't let him disturb my grandmother's rest. ”

Niu glanced at him with a smile: "What's the hurry?" I'm his own grandmother, could it be that I'm going to eat him?! He is still so young, he can't be separated from adults around him, there is no nurse at home, you and Sister Man'er are still children, where will you take him? I didn't expect it before, but now that I think about it, I naturally have to take it with me, so as not to be delayed by the two of you. ”

Zhao Yan left the room in disbelief and stood at the foot of the steps worried.

Zhao Ze walked up to him: "Second brother, thank you so much." ”

Zhao Yan glanced at him: "Big brother, this is a strange thing, what are you thanking me?" ”

Zhao Ze smiled: "Thank you for not listening to your eldest sister, and you didn't put the blame for the matter on me." He was really worried, Zhao Xiang poured dirty water on the second room, Zhao Yan could tell the truth about Zhao Xiang's situation to the Niu family, and he could also hack himself by the way. He didn't do it, and Zhao Ze was really relieved.

Zhao Yan sneered: "Don't take yourself too seriously, I'll tell you the truth, I won't listen to my eldest sister's words to smear the second room, because I just accepted the love of the second room." With the money given by my great-grandmother, I can finally redeem my aunt, and I will always repay this kindness. As for not smearing Zhao Ze by the way, it was entirely because he hated Zhao Xiang more, so he pushed the responsibility on her.

Zhao Ze smiled bitterly: "The second room also has a great kindness to me, but I don't know how to repay it." Thinking about his grandmother to this day, he still thinks about squeezing benefits from the second room, and he feels panicked. Looking at his brother-in-law, he suddenly asked, "What do you think...... Our family goes back to Fengxian to live, okay? ”

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Why did the eldest brother ask me?" This kind of thing naturally has to be listened to by grandmother. "It's strange, he has long thought about it, the once loving grandmother has now become a demon, and Zhao Xiang is always thinking about torturing their brother and sister. When he brought his biological mother back, the four of them simply went back to Shanghai. There are still people in the Qian family over there, and the family background is also passable, so how can they have food if they are attached to their uncles. But when the time comes, they don't have to bring their grandmothers who are in the way, as well as the brothers and sisters Zhao Ze and Zhao Xiang, who are tired of each other.

Zhao Ze lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again, and said resolutely: "If you plan to go back, you can go to find the people of the Zhao clan." When I was recuperating from injuries in my hometown, I had some friendship with my clansmen. They once advised me that if I had a hard time in the capital, I could go back to Fengxian. There are many industries in the clan, no matter where they are, they can always find me an errand to have food and clothing, and if I can do it, I can have a small surplus. Before I went to Beijing, I always planned to do so. But now looking at my grandmother's meaning, it seems that she doesn't plan to go back. I can't leave my grandmother behind, and if you want to go back, I'll give you that job. You go to find Zhao Hui, the owner of the six-room family, whose business names are all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he has also opened to the capital. As long as you are honest and willing to work, you don't have to worry about finding a good job to support your aunts and sisters. ”

Zhao Yan was very surprised: "Big brother, you are ......"

Zhao Ze lowered his head and did not speak. The errand provided by the outer sixth room was actually a retreat for him, but now he could only give this retreat to his younger brother. The reason why his mother Jiang committed the crime of killing many lives was to cover up his suspected crime of killing his younger brother. He had no memory at all, though. But there was a witness in the second room, and the court also convicted his mother that year, but he refused to admit it. It's just self-deception. Although Aunt Xiaoqian's mother and son always embarrassed him in the past, this was just what he deserved, and now it is only atonement.

He said to Zhao Yan: "If you want to pick up your aunt, let's go as much as you can." Your brother and sister, I'll take care of it. When you bring people back, if you want to go back to your hometown, there is no entanglement. You can also look for me. I still have a few taels of silver here, and I'm going to go out on an errand from tomorrow onwards. ”

Zhao Yan looked at him with an inexplicable gaze: "Grandmother will definitely not let you go." Zhao Ze smiled bitterly: "Why did her old man let me go?" Zhao Yan looked at him for a while. And he turned and left.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yan packed up two changes of clothes, brought some broken silver and copper coins, and left the house to go northwest. Wait for the day to go up to three poles. Niu slowly got up and freshened up. When she came out for breakfast, she learned the news and was immediately furious.

Zhao Xiang was locked in the room, Zhao Man disappeared, only Zhao Ze was left in front of the Niu family, and there was a mother-in-law waiting for her to eat, one of the girls was busy in the kitchen, and the other was cleaning in the yard. The remaining one is still dressing Zhao Yan in the bedroom. Niu has a temper to be released. can only find Zhao Ze: "Where are the others?" Didn't you come to greet me in the morning?! ”

Zhao Ze unhurriedly scooped a bowl of Jiangmi porridge for her and put it in front of her: "Brother Yan set off early in the morning to pick up his aunt, and Sister Man took some needlework, and now she is rushing to do it in the house." If it can be done today, Ming'er can also add a dish to her grandmother's table. ”

The Niu family directly put aside Zhao Man's matter, only to get angry at Zhao Yan for leaving without permission: "It's against him!" You didn't even report me and went to pick up someone?! ”

Zhao Ze said in a low voice: "Grandmother, I can't help but bring my aunt back, she is the biological mother of her younger brothers and sisters, although our family is down, she also needs to be embarrassed." Let people know that the biological mother of the younger brothers and sisters has been exiled to the northwest, and their faces are gloomy, how will they be related in the future? ”

Niu sneered: "Will their biological mother feel embarrassed when she is exiled?" Then why didn't they think about it in the first place, was it a shameful thing for their grandmother to be exiled? Unfilial bastard thing! It's time to teach them a lesson! She glared at Zhao Ze unkindly: "What about you?" What are you going to do? ”

Zhao Ze lowered his head: "My grandson plans to find a way to inquire about my mother's burial place, and I will go to my father's grave to worship." When it is done, the grandson will find an errand to do in Beijing to support his grandmother and sister. ”

Niu snorted coldly, very disapproving: "How old are you?" And what do you know? What good errands can you find? As I say, it's right that you hugged your great-grandmother's thigh. As long as she rewards you with a little good stuff from time to time, are you afraid that you won't be able to support a family? ”

Zhao Ze lowered his head and said nothing.

Just when Zhao Ze's family was eating this belated "breakfast", Zhao Xiu and Zhang's family also ushered in Zhao Wei, who returned from the palace.

Zhao Wei was very happy to see his grandmother. Zhang took his hand and asked him how he had been in the past few months, how he was doing in the palace, whether he had been bullied, whether he had been on a business trip, and so on. Zhao Wei smiled and answered her questions one by one. He actually had a good life in the palace, and the father and son of King Guangping took great care of him, and often asked him to come over to eat together. Because the new emperor cared about his brother very much, he often used to dine with King Guangping, and he also had the opportunity to meet the saint almost every day. This made his situation in the palace much better, whether it was the noble emperor or the military generals, they were all very polite to him, and he also met a lot of new friends by the way.

When Zhang heard this, he was relieved, but also sighed very much: "The prince is really good to you, you must remember this kindness." Today, the prince and the prince are going back to the palace, right? In order to welcome you, your sister didn't go to the palace, so let's go over to the prince to say goodbye to the prince in a while. ”

Zhao Wei hurriedly said: "The prince is back home, I'm afraid it will be a little later." There is a public case in the court, and it may be necessary to ask the prince and the prince what they mean, so they have not returned to the house at this time. ”

Zhao Xiu was a little curious: "Which public case has happened in the upper court?" Still need to ask what they mean? ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "The matter involves the Zhong family, so naturally I want to ask the prince." Grandmother, sister, you don't know, do you? The Zhong family's greedy ink case is a big problem, the human and material evidence is complete, and the prince can't argue for him, so yesterday Dali Temple sent someone to dismiss him and send him to prison, and the emperor personally ordered Dali Temple Shaoqing to lead troops to the door to raid the Zhong family. At this time, the Zhong family is afraid that they will be in a mess, and they don't know if they will make trouble in the palace. The emperor was worried that they would disturb the prince's recuperation, so he let the prince and the prince stay in the palace for two more days. ”

Zhao Xiu was surprised: "How can this be?" I went to the palace yesterday, but I didn't hear any news? ”

Zhao Wei shook his head with a smile: "The Zhong family also asked for it. When he heard that Master Zhong was taken away, he once shouted that his daughter was going to marry the Marquis of Shanyin, which was a marriage contract made by the first emperor, and the officers and soldiers were not allowed to disturb his daughters, let alone be rude to his father and daughter. I think how much he disliked others when the Marquis of Shanyin passed over, and he tried every possible way to disrupt this marriage, but now he is in a hurry to recognize this son-in-law. It's a pity that the emperor has already found a candidate for his fiancée for the Marquis of Shanyin, and he only waited for three years of filial piety to let them get married. Originally, the daughter of the Zhong family just meant to make a side room for the prince, but now that the prince is no longer the prince, this side room is naturally impossible to mention. ”

Zhao Xiu's eyes were so wide that he was about to fall out of the window: "The emperor has chosen a fiancée for the Marquis of Shanyin?" Not the daughter of the Zhong family? Who's that?! (To be continued......)
