Mi Xingzhi and Mi Du were separated when they were young, and they didn't know his whereabouts until they met the ancestors of the Zhao family again, and then they only exchanged letters, and today is the first time they have met after separation. How much does he know about Mido's wife?

Therefore, he said frankly: "Today is the first time I have seen her, but I heard that she is the daughter of the Zou family in Changshu, and she is not from a family without roots, so she is not a vulgar and rude person." However, since she is married to Midozhi, no matter what her temperament is, she is unreliable. Sister Ying doesn't want her to take care of your mother? I'm afraid that's not right, right? It's better to spend some trouble, first ask the Zhao family to help, and then go to Guangdezhou to invite your aunt or aunt to Beijing, which is the right way. ”

After his debriefing, he had to return to Hangzhou to be his prefect. The wife's current situation, I am afraid that she may not be able to go along, and her daughter is about to get married, her mother and daughter must live in Beijing for a year and a half. At the end of the year, his term of office expired, and he happened to go to Beijing to reunite with his wife and daughter. In the past half a year, he was not at ease about letting his wife and daughter live alone in the capital, but there was no reason for the family to live in Jiannanhou Mansion, so he naturally wanted to invite one or two sisters-in-law or younger siblings to bring a nephew to come over and sit in the town.

Mi Yingzhi pursed her lips, thinking that instead of going to her hometown and asking her aunt or aunt to go to Beijing to take care of her mother, it would be better to only entrust the Zhao family. Although she is about to get married, since she is married to the Jiannan Marquis Mansion and is in the capital, she will not have time to take care of her mother. The Zhao family has a big business and many servants, so there are always a few capable ones. I want to be the housewife of the Zhao family, and I am not afraid that these servants will not be willing to contribute. If you trust them, you are better than your aunt or aunt. Although the female relatives of the clan are experienced in childbirth, their status is not ordinary, and if they are invited, it is not easy to send away, and they need to be treated politely, and they will inevitably be subject to their elbows.

Mi Yingzhi assists her mother in taking care of the middle feed on weekdays, and also helps her father to go to the peak, colleagues, letters between relatives and friends, etc. In order to succeed a cousin to inherit the incense, her father exchanged dozens of letters with the clan, and she read every one. And her mother, Mrs. Mie, in order to persuade her uncles to agree to the adoption. also sent his confidants and family members back to Guangde to inquire about the news, and asked relatives and friends to be lobbyists, so Mi Yingzhi also inquired about the situation in the clan.

Originally, Mi Province took a fancy to the young son of Uncle Changfang's family. Mi Yingzhi's little cousin was born smart, and her grandfather was there in the past. Very pampered. Because of the family rules of the Mi family, except for the eldest son who inherits the family business, the rest of the sons will divide the family after the death of their parents, and in order to keep the inheritance of the heirs, the others will divide some houses and fields and some property. The life is far worse than when the family was not separated. Although the youngest son of the long house is a concubine, he only got some more of his mother's dowry, and he still suffered some after all. Mi Yingzhi's grandfather took pity on his young grandson, so he had already proposed that if there was no heir in the second room, he would let the long house pass on the young son to the second room. Therefore, Mi Xingzhi has always believed that this child is the person he wants to adopt.

Unexpectedly, after the death of the old man, the branch was prosperous, and Mi Province had been an official abroad for many years, and rarely returned to his hometown, and the young son of the long house showed his extraordinary talent. Seeing that the imperial examination was promising, the husband and wife of the long house had the meaning of changing the hexagram. is reluctant to succeed a son with a bright future, but also afraid that after his son succeeds, he will be separated from them and it will be difficult to see each other. Later, it was the third room that came forward and said that he also had a sister-in-law and was willing to pass it on to the second room, which calmed down the situation. Although Mi Xingzhi felt that it was a pity, as long as there was a successor, he didn't have to identify a child. Stir up the brothers.

But Mi Yingzhi read the letter and inquired from her confidants' family, and found that the three families had many heirs, and the family property was decreasing day by day. The days can only be said to be a little rich. If you go out with a step-son, you can save a sum of money to raise a child and get some benefits from the second room, which is also cost-effective. Moreover, the child promised by the third room was born by the second wife of the third uncle, and it is indeed true. Originally, it was ranked second. However, the eldest son of the original partner died of illness the year before last, and this time the son has become the de facto eldest son. Now the third uncle's wife is the third, she is very good at giving birth, and in the eight years since she started, she has given birth to three boys and two girls, and several sons are all smart. has no choice but to block her eldest son, and her sons will not be able to inherit the family business after all. If she takes advantage of the succession and solves the problem, the three-room family business will fall into the hands of her son.

Originally, this was a three-room housekeeping, and Mi Yingzhi didn't want to pay attention to it. It's just that if they really succeeded the cousin in the second room, although the incense was continued, they inadvertently broke the family rules and etiquette, and even contributed to the conspiracy of the aunt who filled the house in the third room, which was somewhat inappropriate. But if you refuse, where will you find a suitable heir? The fourth room has already refused, and the remaining sons of the third room are now from the third aunt, no matter which one he succeeds, he has both parents and siblings, and he will inherit the second room incense in the future, but I am afraid that the family business of the second room will be brought back to the third room, and it is unknown.

Mi Xingzhi just couldn't bear to see his nephew separated from his parents too early, so he postponed the succession ceremony, but sooner or later there would be a day. Mi Yingzhi has been thinking about the third aunt's speculation for some days, but she doesn't dare to mention it to her father Mi Shengzhi, for fear that he will reprimand herself for talking about her elders. She tried to mention it in front of her mother, Mrs. Mi, but Madame Mi told her not to say anything more. When the second room goes out to be an official, there are some things in the clan that can't easily be contaminated with them. Besides, the people in the fourth room are still getting along well now, even if the aunt in the third room is a little selfish, it is not a big deal. If she really wants to protect her parents and children, then the sister-in-law left behind by the house in front of her is a thorn in her side. Rather than let the child suffer her loss, it is better to pass him to the second room. If he has a dislike for his father and stepmother, he will be closer to his father and mother in the future. It's hard to say who took advantage and who suffered.

However, now that Mrs. Mi is pregnant, if she can give birth to a boy, there is no need to mention this succession. Mi Yingzhi was a little worried in her heart, if she really wanted to invite an aunt or aunt to Beijing, the aunt of the long house, as a clan wife, would not dare to leave lightly; The four-room aunt's child is still young, and she can't get out of it even if she is afraid; The most likely to come is the aunt of the third room. She is too shrewd and has a plan, and if she does something bad to the fetus in Mrs. Mi's womb, it will be bad. Besides, when the second room is in Beijing, there is no male to support the door, and most of the third aunt will have to bring another son with her. Whether she brought her parents and children or the sister-in-law who was left behind by filling in the house, it was not reassuring.

Instead of being frightened, Mi Yingzhi really preferred to leave Mi Duzhi's wife Zou Shi. First, there is a blood relationship between the two people, and there is no conflict of interests; Second, she had listened to the quarrel in the front yard in the back hall before, and knew that this aunt was not such a shameless person as Mido's mother and son, and perhaps she was more cowardly, but she could still tell two truths. Besides, she didn't plan to leave all the Midu families, only the Zou family and her son. has a son to restrain him, and he is not afraid that the Zou family will not dare to do his best. As for Mrs. Mi, Mi Duzhi and Mi Yulian, who didn't know what to do, they all sent Old Man Mi's coffin back to their hometowns.

Mi Yingzhi skipped her selfish speculation about the third aunt, and told her parents the reason why she wanted to ask the Zou family for help. Mi Xingzhi frowned and was silent. Mrs. Mi thought for a while and said, "I also met this concubine when I was young, she was two years older than me, and she was also a little famous when she was in the boudoir. It's just that she's not used to competing with people, so everyone in the boudoir calls her a glutinous rice person. Other than that, it's quite clear. She has already given birth to a son and a daughter, and she thinks about it. We might as well send someone to give her a try, and if it is suitable, it would be okay to leave her mother and son behind. Today, Brother Wei is disgusted with his uncle's family and wants to cut off contact. It's just that people in the world don't know the inside story, and most of them will criticize it. If you leave Mido's eldest son, you can avoid criticism from others with a little care, which is also a good thing. It's just that I don't know what the child's temperament is, and if he is as cold as his father, then it's better not to take risks. ”

Mi Shengzhi said: "In this case, let's talk to Brother Wei." See what he means. If he wants to keep people, it doesn't matter. If he doesn't want to, then we don't have much to say. ”

Mrs. Mi and Mi Yingzhi have no different meanings, and the latter should repair a book according to the meaning dictated by his parents and order someone to send it to Zhang.

When Zhang got the letter, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly called his grandchildren to come over to discuss. After reading the letter, Zhao Xiu was a little puzzled: "Why bother? Although I think my aunt is indeed an honest person, no matter how honest she is, she is also my uncle's wife, with children and daughters, how could she leave her husband and daughter behind and stay alone in Beijing? If there are few people around my cousin and aunt to serve, some of our family have experienced mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. If you are worried that there is no one at home to support the door, and after your cousin leaves, your aunt and cousin will be inconvenienced, then just ask them to move into our Hou Mansion to live. ”

Zhang scolded her and said: "Nonsense, the two families are going to get married next, and when the time comes, Najib, Nazheng, the invitation, etc., will have to have some contacts." If the Mi family lives in the Hou Mansion, how will it be counted at that time? The Mi family also has face, how can they be greedy for convenience and let people talk? and they shall dwell separately. Although I hate your uncle, their surname is Mi. There is no harm in your aunt, and it is normal for your in-laws to want to invite her over. ”

Zhao Wei thought about it and said, "It's okay, I don't think my aunt will dare not be unwilling." After speaking, he ordered someone to spread Wulaixing. The latter escorted Mido's family back to his residence, but he was afraid that he had not returned to the Hou Mansion at this time. Zhao Wei ordered the concierge to ask Wu Laixing to come to see him as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Xiu asked Zhao Wei: "Brother, do you really plan to let your aunt and cousin stay?" I'm afraid that my grandmother and uncle won't agree. My aunt's daughter doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "Whether they agree or not, what's the matter?" Are they now willing to go home? It's just that they can't disobey us. It's okay to be separated like this, my cousin is in Beijing, we can slowly adjust/teach, so as not to raise a white-eyed wolf. If he has a talent for reading, I can help him out. With his constraints, my aunt didn't dare to do anything, and I don't think she would do anything bad. And the only son is in our hands, and my uncle doesn't dare to act rashly in Guangde. lest their mother and son return to their hometowns and use the name of our Nanhou Mansion to do evil, and make us suffer. We can't go around and tell people that we don't want to see our uncle's family, right? ”

Zhao Xiu understood, this meant to leave Mi Xiuming as a proton. Since Zhao Wei was sure to do this, she would leave it alone. It's a big deal to observe more in the future, is it that today, is their family still afraid that the Mi family can make any big trouble? (To be continued.) )
