The old lady's face turned red, don't look more and more gloomy, like this again and again, she has nothing to be angry about, she just feels too embarrassed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Changsheng smiled lightly: "The eldest brother is far away in Wuwei, we want to stay in Beijing, naturally we have to rely on the second brother and second sister-in-law to serve the old lady, and if you want to come to the old lady, you will naturally have to live back." ”

When they came back this time, they were showing show and gracious.

Ming Qing's expression was relieved, and she glared at Lin Xinhui angrily, she also glared back, and lowered her head in disdain, although she was not satisfied with the immortal pheasant turning into a phoenix, and was unwilling to admire her snort, but she had to soften.

Thinking of the things in the two carriages, and then looking at the clothes of Changsheng, he suddenly felt that it was nothing to be soft, and there were benefits to be taken anyway, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are the things in the two carriages that the princess brought?" ”

Although the old lady blushed for her, she also wanted to know, so she didn't say anything.

Changsheng didn't dare to say it directly so that she didn't get too excited and had an accident. Instead, it started from the secret care of the queen mother when the house was raided, and said that the ancestral hall and family ancestral hall of the Xie family were intact under the care of the queen mother, as well as Xie Wuya's residence and Mingche's residence, which were immediately sealed as they were, and nothing was lost or damaged.

This time the old lady was simply crying with joy, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the capital to thank her, Xie Mansion was copied, not to mention the loss of family property, she blamed herself the most for the destruction of the ancestral hall and the family ancestral hall, and the most uncomfortable thing was that her husband Xie Wuya's relics were lost, and she knew that everything was intact, how could she not cry with joy?

Knowing that most of the things that were stolen from the Xie family were returned as they were, including her and Lin Xinhui's dowry, Changsheng and Mingjing's other purpose of coming over today was to give them back the dowry, and both of them were stunned.

The old lady took the register and dowry list handed over by Changsheng in a daze, looking at the things carefully prepared by her parents at the beginning, the grange shops were all there, as if she had returned to the time when she was to be married, and suddenly the old tears were rampant, Lin Xinhui held her dowry list and didn't see it clearly, Ming and Qing had already taken it and looked at it carefully.

Lin Xinhui let out a "ah", and then said angrily: "Some seem to be gone!" ”

The old lady glared at her fiercely, and then stopped speaking, after the raid of the house, she could get back most of the things, which was already the great grace of God and the queen's mother, and Changsheng could return it to them, whether it was show off or be gracious, it was already extraordinary generosity and generosity, what else did she not be satisfied with?

And she and Lin Xinhui's marriage back then was extremely rich, even if they only paid back most of it, they didn't have to do anything in their generation, and they could still live the life of a group of slaves and maids in brocade clothes. Among her dowry, there are five shops in the prosperous area of Beijing alone, which are things that are born of gold and silver.

Changsheng looked at their expressions and said quietly: "Although most of them have been counted and returned, it is inevitable that they will be lost, this is still the protection of the queen mother, otherwise I don't know how big the loss is, the large things are left in the treasury of the county uncle's mansion and have not been moved, and they will be counted when you go back."

The house of the second brother and the second sister-in-law is still being cleaned up, the old lady's Heju Hall has been sorted out, and the things that originally belonged to you on the list have been placed as they are.

Sheltered by the queen's mother, the house has not been damaged much, it will not take long to clean up, it is estimated that it will be able to move back before Laba, the old lady can spend the New Year in the house, and this year can also be a good sacrifice to comfort the ancestors and father.

It is mainly run by the chief envoy and housekeeper of the princess's mansion, and the house is now chaotic, and there are many hired to do the work, and the old lady and the second brother and sister-in-law will not go for the time being. I just saw that Zhuangzi has a lot of old slaves in the past, and when we leave, we might as well let Ruigu lead those old slaves back to help. ”

The old lady nodded again and again, and with Aunt Rui and the old slave going back, it was naturally more like before, and it was more in line with her wishes.

Seeing that Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui didn't ask about the current situation of Changsheng and Mingjing from beginning to end, and they didn't have any intention of thanking them, they sat there with complicated expressions, and there was irrepressible jealousy, and their hearts were sad, how could such a daughter-in-law afford to support the door?

Simply sent Mingqing to see if a few children had finished class, and sent Lin Xinhui to tell Sister-in-law Xia to prepare a banquet for the princess and the concubine at noon, Mingjing glanced at Lin Xinhui sarcastically: "The gifts for the second brother and sister-in-law and the children, as well as the dowry of the second sister-in-law, you can also take the time to count it." ”

Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui glanced at the dowry list and gift list, suppressed the joy in their hearts and left in a hurry, without even saying a word of thanks.

The old lady suppressed the churning anger in her heart, ignored the two of them anymore, took Changsheng's hand, and asked her about her pregnancy carefully, the fetus was good, and the bodies of the Huai'an palace and the Zhou family, Changsheng answered one by one.

She sighed again, looked at Mingjing and said, "Your aunt's life is not easy, although she is now enjoying happiness in the princess's mansion, but I know her temper, she is the same as me, I am afraid that I want to go back to the county uncle's mansion to celebrate the festival for your father."

When I was young, I was a little vigorous, and I have been suppressing the slavery of your aunt, and now I think that as long as the family is safe, what is the point of fighting for this? Fortunately, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, she did not have a flat nationality but also avoided the pain of prison.

The older people get, the more nostalgic they become, and now there are only three old sisters left with us and Ruigu, who have grown up together since childhood The affection is not extraordinary, and when the county uncle's mansion is repaired, let her go back to the Xie family as a concubine, she can live wherever she wants, but I guess she must still live in the former yard, which was personally selected and arranged by your father after you were born.

I will go to the patriarch and say that you have to take care of the big things, so leave this to me, an old woman. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and in the future, the three of us old sisters will support the elderly in one place, talk, reminisce about the past, and live for a few more years. ”

Mingjing bowed his head and was very grateful, and Changsheng was also a little moved, but he didn't expect that the old lady, who had been stubborn and strong for many years, finally understood, and would take the initiative to apologize and mention the matter. It seems that she is really disappointed in Ming and Qing, and bets on her and Mingjing on the future of the Xie family and the future of her three grandchildren.

She is right, no matter how rich the princess's mansion is, the aunt always feels that she is a guest, and in her husband's house, guarding his relics and family ancestral hall to support the elderly, and being buried next to him in the future is the best destination in her heart.

In the end, it was agreed that the sign of the Junbofu could no longer be hung, and the sign of the Xie Mansion would be hung in the future, and all the people would still live in the original place, and Mingjing and Changsheng would naturally live in Tingsong Yuan.

Changsheng proposed that Shu'er begged her, saying that she didn't want others to turn over her mother's relics, and she didn't want people to live in it, and she wanted to keep Xinyi Yuan as it was, and she and Mingjing only had one request, and the rest was up to the old lady to decide.

Even if Jin Shu doesn't mention this request, Anyang definitely doesn't want to live in Xinyi Courtyard, even if Mingche marries a newcomer, he may not be willing to erase the traces of his ex-wife, they need to start anew, and Xinyi Courtyard can only be sealed from now on.

The old lady finally spoke: "Let Mingche and his family live in Fuxi Hall in the future, that is the head of the family, Mingche is the eldest son, and it is the most suitable to live." Your father has been dead for many years, and it is not appropriate for him to occupy his things anymore, so it should be given to the new head of the family, and your father and I should both retire to the Crane House.

Your father's only things are books, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and some things he is used to. The west room of the Crane House is the same size and layout as his current study, and it has been empty, so he moved his study as it was, and if you have anything you can see, you can take the things he is used to, and put the things you don't want in the study, and leave us a memory.

Those books, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, pick your father's favorite to stay and make a thought, and the other three of you brothers will divide it, and then pick a few things for Ziji, which can be regarded as a little thought of your grandfather.

The rest of the old furniture in Fuxi Hall was all moved to the warehouse and put away, give your eldest brother and the county lord another set, and arrange a new main courtyard, the Xie family should start over. ”

Changsheng and Mingjing nodded again and again, admiring the old lady more and more, although she was too selfish, too partial to her own children, too utilitarian, and the concubine has always been just a tool for her to use, but she is really a smart and capable person who understands current affairs, but it is a pity that she did not teach Ming and Qing well, and did not marry a good daughter-in-law.

Seeing that lunch was approaching, Mingjing took the initiative to mention Cheng Ziyu, but she didn't say that what happened to her was not so unbearable, otherwise the old lady would never allow her to enter the door.

It is said that she followed her aunt and the female relatives of the clan to the place of exile after suffering many sins, and on the way the aunt died of illness, and the grandmother was cruel and sold her to a merchant as a concubine, and the merchant took her back to her hometown of Jinyang, but she was not tolerated by the wife, so she gave a sum of silver and sent away.

She was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, and returned to the capital without relatives in Jinyang, but she couldn't find anyone to take refuge into, and the money on her body was almost spent, so she rented a house and settled down, making needlework and laundry for people for a living.

Later, when I heard about Princess Dexiao, I came to the door. In their descriptions, Cheng Ziyu became a woman who suffered and suffered and was helpless, but still strong, self-respecting, diligent and filial.

The old lady thought of what happened to the Cheng family and her own family, and then heard that Cheng Ziyu, a young lady, was so able to endure hardships, but she really felt a little pity. Changsheng said that Cheng Ziyu originally lived in the Xie Mansion Courtyard in Beijing, and she and Mingjing planned to wait for her body to be well and no longer haggard and tired, so they asked someone to tell her about her family, so that she could rely on her for the rest of her life.

But Cheng Ziyu said that she has been missing her aunt very much in the past few years, saying that her aunt is the elder who loves her the most besides her mother, and she doesn't want to marry for the time being, and is willing to come to Zhuangzi to honor her aunt and Cheng Huan.

The old lady was a little moved, although her only biological daughter Xie Mingzhu was intimate, she was too far away, and it was difficult to see each other unless Pei Xun returned to Beijing after his term of office.

The son and daughter-in-law are not angry, they quarrel for three days and quarrel for two days, she has to persuade every day at such an old age, and she has to worry about three grandchildren, and then see the good luck and prosperity of the two concubines, and her son is not angry, no matter how good the slave is, he is also a slave, and she often feels depressed.

Thinking of Cheng Ziyu's lively and well-behaved personality, and knowing how to play chess with her in her spare time, or stroking the qin and reading Buddhist scriptures, it is very desirable, and her granddaughter Jinniang is also five years old, she can still teach Jinniang what everyone should learn when she stays, so as not to be taught crooked by Lin Xinhui.

After weighing it again, she nodded and agreed, and Changsheng said that when they moved into the ancestral house, they would send Cheng Ziyu over.

After the matter was arranged, Changsheng asked how the three children were studying now. Not to mention their parents, she always has a teacher-student relationship with these children, and Jinniang has another fate, these children are always clear nephews, they will not fight in the future, but also the burden of the princess's mansion, the fire at the city gate and the pond fish are more.

The old lady sighed, no longer afraid that her children and grandchildren would not be as good as her concubines, and she hid any dissatisfaction, this time she told the truth.

"The essence of several children is good, Jinwen is fine, especially Jinshu, who is originally a sister-in-law, and his temperament is not with his father, he is not old but he is still sensible, and he also knows how to take care of his sister, Jinniang is innocent, if someone teaches and guides well, and does not say that it is a good material, at least there is no problem in keeping the ancestral industry and living a life.

After you left, I didn't worry about the two who were not angry, so I raised a few children with me, it doesn't matter if I work hard, but don't be led crooked, this time seems to be quite effective, one by one is more sensible, even Mr. is praised for his education. ”

Mingjing put his mind at ease, the blood relationship cannot be broken, no matter what his relationship with Mingqing is, they can't let their house cause trouble in the future and implicate him and his eldest brother.

"The old lady has worked hard, when she moves back to the ancestral house, buys a few more useful slaves, hires a few good masters, and cousins to help, you can also be easier, tell me if you have any difficulties, they are all grandchildren, my own nephews, I really hope that they are good."

The old lady nodded again and again, thinking of what she had done before, she felt ashamed, half promised and half sighed and said: "Your aunt and I are old, she may not be as good as going back to the ancestral house with you, and in the future, our old sisters will be a companion, and enjoy happiness here, you don't want to cause trouble outside, and come back to see more when you are free." ”

Mingjing was about to say thank you, but suddenly there was a noisy crying and scolding outside, as well as the crying of children, obviously Mingqing and Lin Xinhui were noisy again.

A mother-in-law hurriedly ran in and wanted to stop talking, the old lady sighed, and suddenly felt that the so-called face was just her struggling to support herself, and she was tired and couldn't hold it up: "Say, the princess and the concubine are not outsiders." ”

The mother-in-law just said: "The second master and his wife quarreled over the dowry, and the second master said that if it weren't for the princess being the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, how could the emperor return the dowry by grace, and the dowry should belong to him."

The second lady said that the dowry was originally her dowry, and no one could take it away, and also said that the second master was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed, only recognized money and didn't recognize people, and when she spent all her family's silver, she would see that she was unpleasant everywhere, this time she must hold the dowry firmly in her own hands, and whoever robbed her would fight with whom! ”

The old lady's face turned red, and she sat down in her chair dejectedly, this time, instead of being angry and indignant, she looked sad and depressed, and tears slowly fell.

has reached this age, and after such twists and turns, her son and daughter-in-law, who have always pinned high hopes on her, are still so ignorant, and she has to take her to discipline her grandson to persuade and teach them husband and wife, and even at this age, she has to rely on the snort of her concubine and daughter-in-law.

It doesn't matter how hard she is and how tired she is, she is afraid that all her hard work will be in vain in the end, not to mention the glory earned by her son, like this, she is not at ease when she dies. (To be continued.) )
