Zhao Yingjun's body has gradually improved, and it seems that the old doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall is still very powerful. In the face of the amusement of her grandmother, parents and nursing mothers, she began to show a "toothless" smile, happily selling cuteness and amusing them.

At a time when the whole family has troubles, her small body can't do anything except sell cuteness.

Because she is still a little child, the whole family can only live in a small old yard, she does not have much space to move, basically eats and drinks in the room, so she began to learn to walk on the kang. The original body probably hasn't started to learn this yet, so the elders are overjoyed when they see her staggering out of two steps, the little brother clapped his hands and teased her to take a few more steps, and as soon as she took a step, he hugged her with a grin, and even his grandmother Zhang changed her usual calm appearance, and happily praised her granddaughter for being "smart".

Zhao Yingjun thought to herself, her appearance may be a little prominent, but it is not an exaggeration, right? In this way, it is okay to "learn" to walk, and then "learn" to say more complex sentences will not be abnormal, if she continues to pretend to be a little baby, she will suffocate if she does not suffocate to death.

Another thing that makes Zhao Yingjun happy is that she finally knows what her name is now - Zhao Xiu.

Xiu, is a beautiful stone like jade, there is a sentence in the Book of Poetry "full of ears Xiu Ying", which was said by the young father Zhao Zhuo when he hugged her to study, and the word "Ying" in it made Zhao Yingjun very intimate. I remember that when she was a child, her parents once mentioned that they named her "Yingjun", just to hope that she would be a transparent and pure person like jade. She accepted the new name almost immediately (and later changed to "Zhao Xiu" to refer to the heroine).

For Zhao Xiu, who has just crossed over, although the current life is not very convenient, it is not uncomfortable. Eating, drinking, and wearing are not worried, there are also people waiting, although the elders always lament that the house is too old and too dilapidated, but the area of the main house alone adds up to hundreds of square meters, except for the main room is used as a hall, the east house has more than 30 square meters, it is the grandmother who took her to live, the west house is the bedroom of the parents, the little brother and the people waiting around him occupy no less than seventy square meters of the wing, and the rest of the nursing girls share a room, except that the room is dimly lit and stuffy, this condition is really not bad, and there are many flowers and trees planted in the courtyard outsideAlthough it has not been pruned for many years, it does not look very neat, but it is very beautiful with red willow green.

Zhao Xiu thought to himself, if his body was a few years older, the room would be better lit and ventilated, and he could have some meat when he ate, and he didn't have to drink milk, and his life would be more comfortable.

Of course, she also knows in her heart that as a milk doll, this idea is not very realistic, even grandmother and father, mother, little brother, because they are keeping filial piety, the three meals on weekdays are mainly vegetarian dishes, the style is very simple, but the taste is not bad, mother Mi spends a lot of money every day to clean up the kitchen, otherwise where can there be this treatment?

Grandmother was discussing the separation. Early this morning, the Hou Ye and his family invited Zhang's mother and son over, in order to divide the family, it seems that they really don't plan to save face, the industry in Beijing is basically occupied by the long house, because the old man's ancestral home is Fengxian, Shanghai, and there are a lot of fields in the countryside, so the Hou Ye gave his half-brother ten hectares of land, five hundred taels of silver, and then allocated him a few houses that he is used to using on weekdays, which is considered to have sent him away.

As for her mother-in-law, Zhang, they didn't have the idea of supporting her, so they called it "give her younger brother a chance to be filial" and let her leave with her relatives and children. The girl next to her or something, only the two girls who were waiting for her stayed, and the others were not allowed to follow. The Niu family even wanted to detain other people's private houses, but fortunately, Jiannanhou was not confused, thinking that the Zhang family still had the order of the county duchess, if he was forced to be in a hurry, he would make trouble, and he would not be able to take care of it in front of the emperor, so he let go and allowed her to take everything in her house away, even the furniture and clothes were counted, which was also a lot of money. In addition, she was the dowry girl in the past, and now she is married to a servant in the house, has children, and the family is under her name, and she is no longer a slave of the Hou Mansion.

Zhao Xiu listened to his father repeat the specific terms of the separation to his mother, and felt that it was not too bad. Although it seems a bit miserable to cross over to the Gonghou Gate, it seems a bit miserable to be separated, but if you have money, a house and people, don't live too comfortably.

Mother Mi didn't think so, as soon as she heard her husband's words, she couldn't help crying: "This is too bullying! The Hou Mansion has so many industries in Beijing, and there are also tens of thousands of acres of land in Fengxian's hometown, and only 1,000 acres will be allocated to you! In the past, when the county grandfather was here, you had more than 500 taels of food and clothing a year, and the Hou Ye only gave you 500 taels when he divided the family, could it be that he was called Hanako? ! If the county grandfather knows under the spring, he doesn't know what it will be like to feel distressed! ”

Zhao Zhuo sighed: "Why don't I get angry?" It's just that my mother said that the most important thing now is to move out of here as soon as possible, so that I can save food and clothing, and I have to look at people's faces. As for money, my mother has a private house, and I also have some money on hand, which was given by my father when he was there, which is enough for us to spend ten years, and then we can slowly run it in the future. ”

Mi choked: "Could it be that I cried for money?" I am also the daughter of a scholarly family, and just the marriage is enough for the family. I'm just wronged for the second master! You are the son of the county grandfather, since you were a child, the county grandfather loves you, you are afraid of melting in your mouth, and you are afraid of falling in the palm of your hand, because you are weak, you are allowed not to learn to ride and shoot, because you love to read, you will personally come to the door to ask a famous teacher to guide you in your homework. When did you suffer such humiliation?! ”

Zhao Zhuo stopped talking, why didn't he feel humiliated in his heart? Even if he had expected that the eldest brother would no longer allow his mother and son to live in this mansion, he thought that the other party was just acting according to the rules, and what should be given to him still had to be shared. But what can he do? Zhao Jiong has now attacked the marquis of Jiannan, this is the emperor's holy decree, and it is also his father's will before his death, if he makes trouble, it will only bring shame to his father, and his reputation is not good.

Zhang sighed: "I know that both of you are not convinced, and I don't understand why Zhuo'er is a concubine but can't inherit the title." When the county grandfather was alive, he always valued the eldest son, and the Yuan and Mrs. Qin's heirs were difficult, and there was only one daughter of your eldest sister under his knees, except for Aunt Qian's grandmother who gave birth to a son, the county grandfather had no other heirs for many years, and he had been fighting for many years, I don't know when he would be shrouded in horse leather. Who knew that later by mistake, he married me as his stepfamily, and I gave birth to Zhuo'er, which made the ownership of the title doubtful. But the county grandfather is getting older, and he doesn't know how long he can last, the eldest son has already grown up and has children, but your young son is still young, in case the county grandfather has a good one, how can you set up a household? This did not change the son. But the county grandfather told me a long time ago before his death, when you succeed in the imperial examination, he will ask you for a knighthood, so that you will be self-reliant, and you can live comfortably, where did you expect him to leave so suddenly......"

She lowered her head and wept silently, and she could see that although the county grandfather and her were old husbands and young wives, the relationship was really not bad. Zhao Zhuo and Mi Shi couldn't help but feel sad when they saw her true feelings revealed.

Although the old man went too suddenly, and his stepwife and sister-in-law fell into an embarrassing situation, his loving care during his life was not fake.

Zhao Xiu sat in her grandmother's arms, saw her crying, hesitated, and stretched out her little hand to wipe her tears.

Zhang felt the temperature of his little granddaughter, looked down, and saw that her eyes were round and looking at him, and her hands were still gently rubbing her face, as if she understood the sadness in her grandmother's words and was comforting herself. Zhang couldn't help but smile and held his little granddaughter's hand: "Good boy, you know filial piety to your grandmother at a young age, and your grandmother leads your affection." ”

She raised her head to look at her son and daughter-in-law, and continued: "The title is already your eldest brother's, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. He acted unfairly, and some people couldn't see it, but now that the county grandfather has just gone, the palace is full of grace, if someone comes forward to sue him at this time, the palace will also look at him as the eldest son of the county grandfather, and let it go gently, but the person who complains may not be able to get cheap. Therefore, it is better to put things aside, let's move out to live, take advantage of the filial piety, Zhuo'er to review the homework well, although you are young, you have a fame, talent is also high, and so out of filial piety, serious examination of a jinshi back, wouldn't it be better? This dynasty is different from the previous dynasty, the children of the princes and nobles, if they want to be a leader, they must take the imperial examination without studying martial arts, otherwise they can only stick to the family business for the rest of their lives, and they are not allowed to be real officials. ”

Zhao Zhuo knew that what his mother said was the truth, the Taizu of this dynasty had a strange temper and high prestige, so he set a lot of rules different from the previous dynasty, this hero must first pass the examination if he wants to be a hero, with the ability of the eldest brother, this exam may not be able to pass, even if he passes, he will not be able to occupy a high position, although he is the Marquis of Jiannan, it is just a vain title, and when he gets the name of Jinshi and enters the dynasty as an official, does he dare to be rude to himself like today?

Zhao Zhuo was in a certain mood, and began to turn back to appease his wife. Mi was originally a gentle and generous temperament, but he was only angry for a while, and he lost his temper, but now he has gradually calmed down. Zhang told them: "A few days ago, I asked someone to buy a house in the area of Gulou Street, three in and three out, enough for our family to live. These days, Mother Lu is cleaning up over there, and some of the soft ones have already moved over. Wait for the new marquis to send Zhuo'er's share of the land deed and silver, and let's go. ”

When Zhao Zhuo and Mi heard this, they both felt happy, and nodded in unison: "Mother is thoughtful." ”

I'm afraid that the other side of the long house doesn't know about the house, so I will move there within a few days, and it will be clean.

Zhao Xiu showed a toothless bright smile again, trying to tease the hearts of the elders, this smile was very sincere, because she was already imagining a happy day in the future.

The sudden arrival of the guest scattered her sweet dream, and Yahuan Qiuye reported outside the door: "Grandma Jue is here." Zhang, Zhao Zhuo and Mi were all surprised. Although it was a nephew and daughter-in-law, in the end, it was a young daughter, Zhao Zhuo immediately went into the bedroom to avoid it, Mi was afraid that the child would be noisy, so he took his daughter and went to the East House, and Zhang ordered someone to invite Jiang to come in, leaving only Chuncao to wait. Chuncao lowered her head and hesitantly stood behind Zhang.

Zhao Jue's wife, Jiang Shi, came in and respectfully saluted her mother-in-law. Her face was pale and she looked very tired, apparently tired from taking care of her sick son these days. Zhang asked, and learned that Brother Ze had recovered, so he comforted her: "It's okay if the child is fine, don't be careless in the future." ”

Jiang Shi responded softly, and said: "My granddaughter-in-law just heard that the matter of separating the family has been decided?" She quietly glanced at Chuncao, who was standing behind Zhang.

Chuncao suddenly shivered.
