Zhao Xiu didn't know what Master Yu meant by saying this, she just subconsciously didn't trust this person. Back then, the Zhang family and Zhao Zhuo were deceived into going south, and Master Yu contributed a lot. Although he repeatedly defended that he had been deceived, who knows? He was also on Zhao Jiong's boat at the beginning, Zhao Jiong didn't save the boat that Zhang and Zhao Zhuo were on, and killed the pearl sister-in-law who swam over to ask for help. Zhao Jiong's family is far away in the capital, no matter how deep Zhao Xiu's resentment is, they can't help it, Master Yu is dangling in front of her eyes, Zhang's is not pursuing the old man's generosity, she Zhao Xiu is not so good at self-cultivation, for Zhao Jing's face, if she doesn't blast people out of the door, it will be considered to give face.

She directly blackened her face and said to Zhao Jing: "I don't care about the rest of the matter, I hope that the people sent by Brother Jing can help my grandmother and brother." The implication was not to make a mess, and then she turned around and left, ignoring Master Yu.

Master Yu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, he had the heart to say that she had no respect for her elders, but the sect was weak, and the grudges of the year had not yet subsided, Zhao Xiu had the support of the Zhang family behind him, and now everyone in the clan praised her for her kindness and courtesy, and made things bigger, he may not be able to take advantage of it, but he may still be held on to the mistakes he made back then, so he had to endure this breath.

He walked up to his son and said, "The juniors of the two clans of Ming'er set off to the north, so I'll take them along." Don't worry, I asked someone to sort out the luggage. ”

The luggage is all packed, why didn't you say hello to my son in advance? Zhao Jing couldn't help but complain: "Since my father has this intention, why didn't he mention it earlier?" I'm going to travel tomorrow. You didn't speak up until this moment, what should you do? What about the affairs in the clan? If the eighth uncle wants to change the clan rules, you also need to come forward to discuss. If you leave, won't you care about the affairs of your family? ”

Master Yu touched his nose with some weakness and argued, "What's this?" I'm not going to go for a year and a half and not come back, just say hello to the county Cheng about the road lead, although the county lord has left, but now the county Cheng who is in charge of government affairs. It's not bad to have a good relationship with our family, what is a trivial matter that can be solved by a sentence like Lu Yin? As for intra-clan affairs. Haven't you been in charge of it all the past few years? I'm idle at home, and it's also the responsibility of our sect to go out to run errands for the little second room and make contributions. There was a pause. Pouted disdainfully: "As for changing the clan rules." It's just your eighth uncle and ancestor messing around, just find a few juniors to accompany him to relieve his boredom, do you want my dignified patriarch to play with him? ”

Zhao Jing was angry when he heard this: "Father! This time to change the clan rules, it is not for you, the whole clan is in favor, and all the heads of the house must participate, where is the eighth uncle ancestor messing around? If you don't show up, wait until the final charter is requested by the tenants in the future. You're not here, and this charter won't count by then?! ”

Of course, Master Yu wants to say that it doesn't count. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again and changed his words: "God knows how long they will have to discuss?" It's never too late for me to come back. He said gloomily: "You don't have to worry too much, why did your eighth uncle and ancestor pull so many people to change the clan rules?" Most of them are trying to calculate me, I am not here, he will not be able to use this trick, when I find a way to deal with him, what are you afraid of him? ”

Zhao Jing suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked at him in shock: "Father, are you ...... Are you really going to go to Beijing to find a small long house?! ”

Master Yu's whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly smiled: "How come? I was dizzy that day, talking nonsense. It was the people of Xiaochangfang who deceived me back then, so that our sect can't hold its head up now, how can I believe them again? I really want to help the little second room, so I plan to go this way. Over the years, although your husband and wife and two children have a good relationship with the little second room, but with me in the middle, there is always a thorn in the heart of the little second room's ancestors and grandchildren, if I can do something for them, as you said that day, help Zhao Wei get the title in his hands, and the grudge between the two rooms will naturally disappear. Our Zhao family has another Hou Ye, and the whole clan can be stained, so why not do it? What is the little long house? His family has long been unable to turn over. ”

Zhao Jing listened, it seemed that there was some truth, but I wasn't sure if my father really thought so, not that he was too careful, if his father had always been resentful of Xiao Changfang, then why would he say that day to ask Xiao Changfang for help?

Seeing that his son was shaken, Master Yu hurriedly added another fire: "Jing'er, because my father knows that he did something wrong a few years ago, and as the patriarch, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities, so I feel ashamed. It's just that we are still a sect after all, and now that the third room is aggressive, I can't do anything to the elders, and if we continue like this, we will really be trampled under their feet. If I can resolve my grudge with Xiao Erfang and help our Zhao family add a marquis, I can be regarded as a person who has contributed to the clan, right? At that time, I will also be able to sit firmly in the position of patriarch. ”

It sounded more like what Master Yu would say. Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but he really couldn't come up with a reason to oppose his father's trip, so he had no choice but to agree, and went to Xunxian Cheng overnight to guide Master Yu, and asked his wife to pack more luggage for his father. Master Yu is not young, he wants to go far away, but he can't be as casual as Xiao Young, and there are many things to prepare.

Master Yu also felt that it was inconvenient for no one to wait on the road, so he brought his new room with him, and there were four other long-term entourage.

After Zhao Xiu learned the news, she couldn't vomit, but she didn't plan to stop it, Zhao Jing knew in her heart what kind of person his father was, he didn't stop it, why did she pretend to be blackfaced? Besides, grandmother Zhang's ability is great, she has lived so close to the sect house all these years, or on the land of the sect, Master Yu can't jump up in front of the Zhang family, what can you do when you enter Beijing? Anyway, according to the terms of the new clan rules, when the clan wants to vote on something, as long as there is one representative in each family to participate in the vote, the sect has Zhao Jing as a representative, and the new clan rules are not obviously aimed at Lord Yu, Zhao Jing cannot vote against, and when the charter is certain, Master Yu can't regret it when he comes back.

As long as the new clan rules are confirmed, in the future, whether it is the eighth old lady or their little second room, if they want to take out their anger with the eldest master Yu or the little long room, it will be a matter of minutes! In order to get the support of the eighth old lady and the third room. Zhao Xiu will never stop them from embarrassing Master Yu, anyway, the matter will not affect Zhao Jing and his wife.

In this way, Master Yu took the two sons and nephews of the clan, as well as Tongfang, Changsuiren, etc. Set off on a boat to the north, and the days of the Zhao clan were still going on. The eighth old lady took a group of homeowners to meet and discuss with Zhao Jing every day, planning to stipulate the new clan as soon as possible, so as to report to the ancestors during the Midyear Festival in July.

In fact, the new clan rules are just a few more clauses on the whole clan referendum on the basis of the old clan rules. Zhao Xiu's mention is basically followed, but the specific implementation procedures are much more rigorous.

Zhao Xiu maintains a certain amount of attention to this matter, but pays more attention to his own affairs. She signed a land transfer agreement with Zhao You, a cousin in the outer five rooms. gave a hundred taels of silver, went to the official mansion to file a file, and then sent someone to clear the forest on the thirty acres of land. The fruit trees were kept, and the miscellaneous trees were cut down for firewood. The grass shall also be removed. Then it is to turn over the soil, and after buying fruit tree seedlings, dig the tree hole, now the weather is uncertain, dig it early, only water.

Due to the rainy days some time ago, the price of firewood in the market has risen sharply, and it has been sold for eighty or ninety cents. Many families in Fengxian County are a little overwhelmed. Zhao Xiu's own family is fine, and he is not bad for money. Now I have cut down such a large forest, and there are hundreds of miscellaneous trees in it, and I cut down the slabs, and then take advantage of the sun in the past two days, and dry the water of the branches, and then transport them to the firewood house and pile them up. The two-room old house originally had a big firewood room, but it couldn't put a quarter of the firewood, so Zhao Xiu asked people to open two more empty houses near the kitchen, and stuffed the firewood to the full, enough for the whole house to use for three months, before sending the remaining dozens of loads to the families with poor conditions in the clan.

The homes of the elderly and widows were delivered first, followed by families with children studying but from poor families, although each family was only given a maximum of 10 loads of firewood, but it also helped them a lot. In the eyes of the clansmen, Zhao Xiu's reputation is a little better. Someone contacted the eldest son of the outer eighth room and Zhao You of the outer fifth room to sell the land successively, but the results were very different, and came to a conclusion: Sister Xiu in the second room was a kind person, as long as you are really in trouble and sincerely ask for it, she will definitely help you, but if you want to use the kindness of others to benefit yourself, or deliberately coax and deceive, Sister Xiu is not a dough to be handled.

At this time, the children of the clan to be recruited in the outer six rooms have almost made up, most of them are concubines, only a few are the third and fourth sons, neither the eldest son who is valued, nor the young son who is favored by his parents, and he has no talent for reading, and staying at home is just idle, so he simply goes out to wander around, and it is unknown whether there is a new world.

Some of them were clever enough to find out where they might be sent early on, so they thought about it. Songjiang cloth sells very well, Nanhui Port also has rare goods from the West from time to time circulation, Fengxian is so close to these two places, why not buy a batch of goods, take the ship of the six rooms to the field, change hands and make a profit? Liufang is the best at doing business, seeing that they are so clever, maybe they can shorten the apprenticeship period and promote them to be semicolon treasurers early!

In order to get more capital, they learned from Zhao You, and sold all their valuable items to the rich elders or peers in the clan, Zhao Xiu is of course the most attractive financier among them, even if she is not interested in their things, she may sympathize with their bleak situation and be willing to borrow a sum of silver?

They come to sell interesting gadgets on the market, medical books and ancient books that are passed down from ancestors to ancient books, antique furnishings, houses and fields, all of them. The outer nine house brothers of the Zhao family were all attached after the founding of the country, and borrowed the power of Zhao Laojungong, and they were quite prosperous for a while, many of them have made a fortune, and it is not uncommon for future generations to have one or two good antiques. They didn't know the goods, so they casually offered a price, and no one dared to open their mouths. Zhao Xiu felt that which one could be eye-catching, so he paid to buy it, and if he didn't look at it, he would give the other party a purse, and put two gold coins in the purse, which was also worth one or twenty taels, everyone was happy, and the clansmen had a higher evaluation of Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu was most interested in the ancient books sent by the clansmen, and the fields and houses were average, and there were thirty acres of fruit and woodland, which was enough for her to toss. After days of hard work, the land was now almost tidyed, and she began to wonder where to get the fruit saplings.

Just then, a shocking news came.

It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has been injured in bed for a long time, actually asked to abdicate. (To be continued......)
