Three days later, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu in the small mansion in the capital received a letter from Liufang, which mentioned that Master Jiang Qi sent his family to send Zhao Xiang and Niu's to Tongzhou Wharf, and got on a boat heading south, it is said that they were going to the hometown of the Jiang family in Jining, and they met Zhao Yan's mother and son who were preparing to go down to the south of the Yangtze River on the boat.

The guys in the sixth room inquired that Zhao Yan took Niu to live in his mother's cabin, and told the people who came on the boat later that he took his grandmother, mother and younger siblings to Jiangnan to join his relatives. As for Zhao Xiang, he didn't have any more contact with their family, but he once went to the bilge and told Jiang Qi's family that the Niu family met the relatives of the Niu family and decided to go with them, unwilling to go to Jining with her, and refused to change her mind no matter how she cried and begged.

The Jiang family's family went to see the Niu family to verify the matter, but he didn't recognize Zhao Yan, so Zhao Yan claimed that his surname was Niu and called Niu his aunt and grandmother, and he didn't suspect it. Niu expressed his idea of following his mother's junior, and the boat had already sailed at that time, and the Jiang family could not go back to Liangxiang to ask Jiang Qi, so they had to accept it. They went back to the bilge, and Zhao Xiang and Niu, Zhao Yan and others began to talk to each other, as if they were strangers in their lives.

Zhao Xiu was a little surprised: "I didn't expect the two of them to meet, is this called 'not a rivalry'?" But I don't understand, it's not strange that Zhao Xiang wants to get rid of the Niu family, but Zhao Yan has already fled, why do you want to take the Niu family to his side? Could it be that he is a great filial grandson? Or did Zhao Xiang use what reason to convince him? Can you still let him help himself lie? ”

Zhao Wei thought for a while and sneered: "The reason is not difficult to guess. Zhao Yan wanted to escape. must have planned to abandon the identity of Zhao Jue's son, otherwise he would be looked down upon no matter what he did in the future. Their brother and sister want to get married. I can't get married. If you change your name and surname with the help of the Qian family after defecting to the Qian family, as long as no one pursues it, you may not be able to spend your life safely and smoothly. But now that he has met Zhao Xiang, if Zhao Xiang shouts about him, his abacus will not be able to sound. Zhao Xiang also has the servants of the Jiang family by his side, and he may be using this as a bargaining chip. threatened Zhao Yan that if he didn't take the Niu family, he would let the Jiang family reveal his identity. I don't know. Although the Jiang family was defeated, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and there were still a few relatives and friends in the officialdom to deal with a Shengdou Xiaomin whose identity was doubtful. It couldn't be easier. ”

Zhao Xiu blinked: "Will the Jiang family really help Zhao Xiang do such a thing?" For what? Just so that Zhao Xiang can get rid of Niu? That's too much work! Since the Jiang family has such great ability. Isn't it easy to deal with a cow? Zhao Xiang can poison the Niu family, and it is impossible for him to be unhappy with the Jiang family for his grandmother. ”

Zhao Wei said with a smile: "Most of the Jiang family will not help her with this, and they may not be willing to entangle with a little person like Zhao Yan when they are in trouble, so that people can seize the handle." But Zhao Yan doesn't know! Besides, even if he took Niu's with him, it didn't matter. Today's Niu is not the Niu family before he left Beijing, not to mention being seriously ill. There is no silver in his hand, and there is no backer behind him. There are no minions around. If she can obediently listen to this grandson in the future, she may still be able to eat and wear. But if she wants to use the previous means to dominate Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan can abandon her for the first time, and she can abandon her for the second time. When the time comes, even if she regrets it, it will be too late. ”

Zhao Xiu thought about that situation and couldn't help but yearn for it: "It's a pity, we can't know what will happen next." Otherwise, I really want to see Niu's unlucky appearance. ”

Zhao Wei got up with a smile: "Isn't she unlucky enough when she broke off her relationship?" If you really want to know, when Zhao Yan gets off the boat, the guys in the sixth room will naturally send a message back to the location where he went ashore, and then ask someone to inquire. Shall we go and report to my grandmother first? ”

Zhao Xiu also stood up with a smile: "There is no need to ask someone to inquire, it is best to cut off the news from now on." lest they find out and become entangled again. ”

The brother and sister went to Zhang's house and met Zhao Yan with Niu and Zhao Xiang, and the news that Niu and the latter had left told Zhang. Zhang recited the Buddha: "That's okay, Zhao Yan and they swept away the family's belongings, they shouldn't be, but now that they are reunited, they should also take their own responsibilities." Niu expelled Ze Ge'er from the house for his two brothers, but he fled with his biological mother and siblings, isn't this a big unfilial piety? Although Zhao Xiang is an animal, he is not much stronger. However, the fact that he was able to take back his grandmother's support proved that he still had merit and would not lose his conscience. ”

Zhao Xiu and Zhao Wei glanced at each other, and wisely chose not to tell their grandmother the truth about their guesses.

Zhang continued: "Don't tell Brother Sù Ze'er about this matter when you go back. Previously, he knew that his grandmother and sister had gone to the Jiang family, so he was relieved, but now if he knew that they didn't go to the Jiang family, but were with Zhao Yan and them, maybe he would have to worry again. Hengzhu He has already left that home, no matter how difficult it is for the Niu family, he has never asked you Brother Qixuan, where is Brother Ze'er, he never thought about recognizing this grandson, so why should he worry about such a relative? His sister is a ruthless person, and it is a blessing to be able to stay away. ”

Zhao Xiu blinked: "Grandmother, did you hear it wrong?" It's true that Niu is with Zhao Yan, but Zhao Xiang doesn't plan to go with them? She should still continue to go to Jiang's house in Jining. ”

Zhang was taken aback: "What? She went to Jiang's house alone? Her face sank: "Sure enough...... I shouldn't have believed this girl in the first place. She would have poisoned her grandmother at the beginning, and now she has thrown her seriously ill grandmother to her grandmother and brother-in-law, and she has gone to live a rich life, which shows that she has a cold heart! We shouldn't spare her that day, even if it is inconvenient to send her to the government, we should directly send people to the nunnery, cut off the fate of the world, and never allow her to come out to see people for the rest of her life! ”

This is a rare heavy talk of the Zhang family, which shows her deep hatred for Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Wei persuaded her: "Grandmother doesn't have to be angry, in fact, this is not a bad thing." The Jiang family may not be happy to see the Niu family, and Zhao Xiang may not be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity if he goes to his house. And no matter how bad Zhao Yan is to Niu, he will not poison her. He has the ability and the money, and he will not have a bad life in the future, at least he will not have to worry about food and clothing. ”

When Zhang heard this, he was still angry: "Am I worried about their ancestors and grandchildren? It's just that I can't see anyone acting so mean and unfilial. Zhao Xiang is still the blood of the county grandfather. Wouldn't it ruin the prestige of the county grandfather if it was spread out?! ”

Zhao Xiu said with a smile: "Grandmother forgot again, our family first expelled the small long house and left the clan, and then officially signed a letter of severance with the Niu family and Zhao Xiang. How could Zhao Xiang still be his grandfather's bloodline? Whatever she did, it had nothing to do with her grandfather. ”

Zhang remembered it and sighed: "Even so, the world always knows the truth...... and gritted his teeth again: "Niu thinks he is proud all his life, but in fact he has never done one thing right!" She used to only have her eyes on the title, and for the sake of the title, she did not hesitate to instigate her husband to kill us. In the end, he only ended up with self-destruction. After losing her title, if she understands people, she should persuade her children and grandchildren to strive for self-improvement. revitalized the family, but she only knew how to chase fame and fortune, let her son take refuge in the rebellious king, and do great rebellious things. Didn't it end up in the end? and raising children and grandchildren. She's made a mess too! Brother Ze was not raised by her since she was a child and did not mention it, Zhao Yan and Zhao Man only had their biological mother and siblings in their eyes, and they turned a blind eye to her as a grandmother, and they didn't see much respect for their biological father, and Zhao Xiang ignored the filial piety of his parents and poisoned his grandmother ruthlessly. How exactly does Niu teach children? Could it be that she only taught them how to compete for fame and fortune? The biggest disaster for our Zhao family is to marry this troublemaker! ”

Zhao Xiu felt the same way: "Yes, Zhao Yan is okay over there." She abandoned Aunt Xiao Qian first, and it is normal for the children born by Aunt Xiao Qian to complain about her. The most incomprehensible is Zhao Xiang. Zhao Xiang was raised by the Niu family himself, right? What did she learn? Always holding the shelf of Miss Qianjin, pretentious, I heard that I once recognized King Ying's side concubine as my godmother before, and planned to marry into a high-ranking family, right? became the daughter of a criminal official, and dared to think about the son of the Wang family. I think she has never been thinking of getting married. Why is she so persistent? She has fallen into this situation now, and she still wants to marry into a wealthy family, is it really stupid to be a family? These are all taught by the Niu family? ”

Zhang sneered: "The blessings that the Niu family has enjoyed in this life are all due to the successful marriage into a high-ranking family. She is bent on getting her granddaughter married, and Zhao Xiang is also thinking crookedly, what's so strange? One by one, they don't want to grow up, they only think about crooked ways, and that's how they will come out in this life! Therefore, you must learn a lesson, and in the future, you must let them remember that only their own ability is their own, and if they want to get ahead by relying on good family affairs, it is better to go back to the countryside as soon as possible to farm, and save themselves from being embarrassed in the capital and tarnishing the prestige of their ancestors! ”

Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu hurriedly got up and obediently responded.

Zhang's mood calmed down a little, but he was still very angry when he thought of Zhao Xiang's actions. Seeing this, Zhao Xiu took some happy things to divert her attention: "Grandmother, the Hou Mansion has been renovated, and several main courtyards are almost decorated. I heard from them that the yard where my grandfather used to retire had been rearranged according to the way it used to be, and even the osmanthus tree planted in the yard had been dug up from elsewhere and transplanted to the same place. Several old family members said that the yard was exactly the same as when my grandfather was there. Grandmother would be amazed if she saw it! ”

Zhang smiled reluctantly: "Really? They have a heart. It's just that there are too many things lost in that yard, even if you find similar objects to make up for them, it's not the original thing, but it's just a waste of manpower, so what's the trouble? ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly said: "It's impossible to get all the original things back, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the old things can't be recovered." I heard them say that the things in my grandfather's yard that day were thrown by the Niu family, not the house. At that time, the servants who were doing things heard Niu say that they wanted to take things and burn them, and they all felt that it was very inappropriate. Several servants are old people in the house, and they have waited for their grandfather for many years, knowing that they are all relics of their grandfather during his lifetime, how can they be burned? Even if you want to burn it for your grandfather to continue to use it underground, you should burn it in front of your grandfather's grave. Why didn't you mention it when you did the funeral, but waited for Zhao Jiong to return to his hometown before talking about it? After discussing it in private, they carried the things away, and returned to the Niu clan that the things had been burned, but they were actually hidden in Zhuangzi. Later, they were confiscated into the official, and all their wealth and property were merged into the official, and Zhuangzi was no exception, and the things on the village did not know what happened. A few days ago, they heard that my brother and I were planning to renovate my grandfather's yard and decorate it as much as possible. Because several of the Zhuangzi had also returned to us, they sent people to inquire, and only then did they find out that the furniture and furnishings had been divided among the tenants of the village, and they were still there! And they bought everything for money. ”

Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? You mean...... The old things used by the county grandfather have all been found now?! ”

Zhao Wei smiled and nodded: "Although not all of them have been recovered, there are five or six out of ten." There are still some things, although they have not been recovered, but they also know the approximate whereabouts. The grandson has already ordered someone to pursue him, and it is not long before he thinks that there will be good news. ”

"Amitabha!" Zhang couldn't help but chant the Buddha again, and the smile on his face could no longer be hidden, "Hurry up and call someone to set up a car, I want to go to the Hou Mansion to take a look, but it's still the old thing of the year!" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and dissuaded her: "Grandmother, it's almost dark outside, what else can you see when you pass at this time?" Why don't you go again tomorrow? Shall my brother and I accompany you on a trip? ”

Zhang hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, and then became full of excitement: "Your grandfather's house, I have to dream about it every day." I remember every piece of furniture and every furnishing in the house clearly. When the things are found, you all don't move, and I put them in place myself. No one knows better than I what your grandfather's house was like! (To be continued......)
