Chapter 110: Brotherly Rivalry

Go straight to the East Cross Courtyard. Sure there was no one in the vacuum, the aunt found the fire fold and lit the candle by the red light of the charcoal basin, although it was early spring, but the night was still cold and soaked, but fortunately the charcoal basin was filled with charcoal, and it was very warm to burn.

Jin Shu has been holding Changsheng tightly and refusing to let go, Changsheng thought of everything she had endured tonight, he felt very uncomfortable, took her in his arms and said: "Jin Shu is very brave today, he dares to say that the person who bullied you is a 'bad melon seed', my aunt is so happy!" ”

Jin Shu was still immersed in the grievance of being splashed with soup for no reason and the fear of being punished for scolding, but when she saw Changsheng praising her, the burden in her heart suddenly let go, and she had some pride and smiled shyly.

"Shu'er, you have to do this in the future, someone bullies you, it's her fault, it's not your fault, either return it like today, or treat her as a bad melon seed. Ignore her, you know? ”

Jin Shu nodded, and said, "What if Sister Zichen bullies me next time?" ”

"No, your aunt will educate her not to bully you anymore, and her aunt will follow you in the future and don't let her bully you! Also, next time you have to learn to resist yourself, don't be afraid, you know? ”

Jin Shu nodded solemnly, grinned and rubbed against Changsheng, and suddenly asked, "When will Mama come back?" ”

"When Aunt Bai recovers from her illness, Grandma will come back, don't worry, Aunt Tai and I will take care of you before Grandma comes back!" Changsheng replied to her with a smile, she was not worried that she would be inseparable from Granny Lu, when Granny Lu first left, she asked several times almost every day, and then gradually asked less, and now she has not mentioned it once for several days.

As they were talking, Xiao Wei and Mama Qiao heard that the eldest lady had come back and came to look for them, Changsheng comforted Jinshu a few words, and ordered her to take her to sleep, and only she and Aunt Tai were left in the East Courtyard.

The two didn't spend much time alone, and it was likely that Ling'er Xiu'er would come back, and Aunt Tai said directly: "You want to know what Miss Pei's words are about." Last time, before the winter solstice last year, my aunt and aunt Pei Xun brought a few young masters and ladies to send charcoal fire and cotton clothes to the old lady. At the lunchtime feast. Granny Lu took the eldest lady to go, she was also pitiful, since the young grandmother passed away, as long as she left Jinshu Courtyard, she had to hold a puppet made for her by the young grandmother, I think there was a thought in my heart. ”

Aunt Tai was silent, sighed for Lin Xinyi for a while and said: "I don't know what happened that day, Miss Pei took a fancy to her puppet, she was scheming at a young age, saying that she was taking her to play was actually to carry someone to force her, and the eldest lady may not give it, so she cried, we heard the crying and rushed out, Miss Pei scolded her for being a wild child who didn't have a mother." Poor eldest lady, she was heartbroken to hear this.

My uncle is a good person, I was so angry that I slapped Miss Pei twice, this is probably the first time she has been beaten when she is so old, who knows that a little girl is so vindictive, and she almost scared the eldest lady again, fortunately there is a girl, otherwise how can the soup splash on the face and burn the eldest lady? ”

Changsheng could almost imagine what Jin Shu would be like when she heard Pei Zichen say that she was a wild child without a mother, no wonder she became so withdrawn. It's no wonder that she doesn't bring any toys when she comes out of Jinshu Courtyard, as long as she walks out of Jinshu Courtyard, she will be bullied, of course she is becoming more and more withdrawn.

Suddenly, a strange question came to mind: "Isn't Granny Lu usually never leaving the eldest lady?" What did she do that day? ”

"She was present that day, but for some reason she didn't go out, Mingjing wanted to punish her heavily with family law, but the second lady pleaded but said that if she was beaten hard, no one would take care of the eldest lady, so the old lady reprimanded her heavily and fined her for half a year."

Changsheng is a little strange, Granny Lu knows Jinshu's temperament, even if she doesn't follow, she should also send a girl to follow? After thinking about it for a while, I vaguely understood, maybe Granny Lu knew what Pei Zichen wanted to do, so she deliberately didn't follow, if Jinshu was frightened by contact with people outside, she would only rely on her more in the future and be at her mercy. Immortal hatred, this damn old pious woman!

What is puzzling is that how could Lin Xinhui, who looks arrogant and ruthless, intercede for Granny Lu?

"Mingjing is afraid that there are other things to do when he goes to Jinyang this time, right?" Aunt Tai suddenly asked, and Changsheng lowered her eyelids: "Maybe." She refused to say more, and Granny Lu sighed and asked no more.

"Actually, there are some things in the Lu family that shouldn't have told you about this outsider, but today the old slave can't say it. The eldest young grandmother treated the old slave very well during her lifetime, and Mingjing also respected her very much, and after she passed away, the eldest lady became like that, and we were all very sad. Fortunately, the eldest lady came to you, you treat the eldest lady so well, the old slave and Mingjing are sincerely grateful to you, although Granny Lu is also sincerely good for the eldest lady, but she is lawless and selfish, which makes the eldest lady more and more eccentric. ”

Changsheng remembered when he was cornered at home. I just saw the recruitment notice that had been posted for a long time, how many people applied for the job without success, and I just went away, if I really couldn't think of anyone to help her, I just felt that it was specially posted for her, could it be that Lin Xinyi was guiding in the dark?

"The old slave has also observed these days that you not only treat the eldest lady sincerely, but also a stable and reliable person, and some things let you know that it is good for you and better for the eldest lady, because she can't live without you, so the old slave doesn't want you to have any mistakes."

Changsheng looked at her in a daze, what old events of the Xie family had anything to do with her? She said with a straight face: "Aunt Xie trusts, but Changsheng is an outsider, just looking for a bowl of Ansheng rice to eat, and I don't want to know any family secrets, if it has nothing to do with Changsheng, don't say it." ”

Aunt Tai nodded with satisfaction: "The old slave is really not mistaken, but these things are related to you, and they are not secrets, some old things, the master of the Xie family and the older slaves know it, don't worry." The old slave is not a talkative person, or I don't say it, I guess Mingjing will tell you when he comes back from Jinyang this time, you know that there is no harm. ”

Changsheng put his mind at ease, since he didn't mention the secrets, it definitely didn't hurt to know, to live here safely, some things were indeed better known. "Thank you aunt for bothering about longevity, auntie, please say it!"

The aunt nodded, her eyes misty, as if she was in deep thought. Then he sighed and spoke softly about the year.

Mrs. Xie back then, that is, the old lady now, was infertile for a few years after giving birth to her eldest daughter Xie Mingzhu, and was diagnosed by several doctors as having internal injuries during childbirth, and may not be able to give birth again.

Mr. Xie is an only son, his mother-in-law, the old lady of the year, should now be called Mrs. Tai, in a hurry, he bought his son an innocent woman from a poor family, Aunt Mo, as a concubine, Aunt Mo gave birth to Mingche a year after entering the door, and became the heart and liver of the old lady, and said to his son at that time, if Mrs. Xie has no children within three years, in order not to let the Xie family have no sons-in-law, he will raise Mingche under the name of Mrs., as the eldest son, and recorded in the family tree, and inherit the Xie family's family business in the future.

Three years later, Mrs. Xie really hadn't given birth yet, so she thought that she couldn't give birth anymore, which was very reasonable, plus Mingche was smart and lovely when she was a child, and Aunt Mo was an honest person who didn't fight or rob anyone, so she agreed to her mother-in-law's arrangement and raised Mingche under her name as the eldest son, which is clearly remembered in the Xie family tree.

Within a few months, Mrs. Xie couldn't afford to be ill, and soon drove to the west, and before she died, she repeatedly instructed that no one should change the position of Ming Che's eldest son, and that Master Xie was a filial son, and he should do it all. Who knew that not long after her mother-in-law died, Mrs. Xie was actually pregnant, and later gave birth to the Ming and Qing dynasties, this is really troublesome, Mingche is the eldest son recorded in the genealogy, how can it be easily changed? The Ming and Qing dynasties are really the only son-in-law, how can the lady be willing?

pestered the master every day to change the Ming and Qing dynasties to the eldest son, but the master was unwilling to disobey his mother's last words. The husband and wife were full of contradictions, and later Mrs. let the trusted personal girl Aunt Zhen be a concubine, and gave birth to Mingjing, who is now the aunt, in order to help her persuade the master, but the master only took his mother's words as the standard, and also felt that the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have a clear and clear struggle, so no one could persuade him. If he hadn't suddenly fallen ill, he would have handed over the family business to Mingche, so the brothers have been holding each other so far, and neither of them will give in.

The mystery in Changsheng's heart was finally solved, no wonder Master Xie has been dead for many years, the position of county uncle has been vacant and no one inherits it, and the old lady temporarily took over the position of head of the family, so it is. No wonder Lin Xinhui is so cold and disgusted with the orphan girl left by her sister, and no wonder Xie Mingqing sneered at her because she was hired by Mingche.

However, Ming Che is already a general with real power, and his eldest son is fake, why do he have to fight with the Ming and Qing dynasties for the position of a county uncle and cause discord in the family? Is he such a power-heavy man?

Moreover, what is Mingjing's role in this brotherly rivalry? It looks like a peacemaker, who is he looking for?

If it weren't for the fact that Shu'er was a dispensable girl, and the old lady didn't want things to be too stiff and protected her everywhere, I am afraid that she would also become a thorn in the side of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, no wonder Aunt Tai mentioned this.

Knowing that there is really no harm in this, Changsheng is sincerely grateful. "Thank you, Aunt Tai, I understand, in fact, not long after I entered the mansion, I wondered why the title of the Xie family and the position of the head of the family had been vacant for so many years, so it is so, Aunt Tai, rest assured, I will be careful if I should be careful."

Aunt Tai shook her head, looking worried: "Actually, these have nothing to do with you. The most important thing is that in this house, the second master is the most unpleasant to the uncle, wherever the uncle values and likes, he will do everything possible to fight for it, even by any means, if he thinks that Mingche really values you so much, whether he likes you or not, he will do whatever it takes to rob you, he can use any means, so you have to be especially careful, you know? ”

Looking at Changsheng's face full of surprise, he said meaningfully: "Actually, you are the best to dress up like this, but he is a little confused." ”――
