The Mi family is the maiden home of the Mi family, the mother of Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu's siblings.

The two families should have been extremely close, but when Mi was killed, except for a few distant relatives living in the Jiangnan area, the Mi family sent representatives to offer incense and condolences, and Uncle Mi, who was Mi's brother, did not move at all. At that time, he was an official in Shudi, and the road was far away, maybe he was not well-informed, or he didn't have time to send someone to come over to worship, but if he really had the heart, it was no problem to send a family member to pay his respects. But he didn't, and for more than ten years after that, he never saw a letter gift to the old house of the Zhao family in Fengxian. He was so cold, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu would not use a hot face to stick to people's cold butts, and the two families cut off contact until Zhao Wei had to attack the Marquis of Jiannan.

Zhao Wei became the Marquis of Jiannan, and Uncle Mi was far away, and only a few months later did a letter of congratulations and relatives be sent to Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei was accustomed to this uncle's coldness, and he didn't take this letter too seriously, thanked the person who carried the letter, and asked him to bring a message to Uncle Mi to say hello. When their brother and sister were down, they didn't feel the care of this uncle, but now that the scenery is beautiful, and the other party posts it, they don't need to be too excited. If you see it in person, it's good to act according to the etiquette, but there is no need to get too close.

In fact, Uncle Mi and Mi are not siblings. Mi is the only daughter of Yuan Pei, and Uncle Mi is from the stepfamily. Mi lost his mother at a young age and has been living with his grandmother, who was also raised by his grandmother. Later, her grandmother died, and she went to her stepmother, and she didn't live a few years of comfort. It's just because her grandmother has some connections with Zhang's mother's family and is still a distant relative. Zhang was taken care of by her when he was young, and when he chose a wife for his son, he took a fancy to Mi's gentle temperament. is the grandson of the deceased, so he decided on this family business. At that time, Jiannanhou Mansion was still very beautiful, Zhao Zhuo was well educated, and he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and his future was bright. Mi's father was not stupid, so he naturally agreed to the family affair readily, and he was not stingy when preparing the dowry. almost half of his net worth was given to his daughter as a companion.

It's a pity that later, the Mi family's maternal grandfather died, and the Mi family was handed over to Mi's stepmother and his stepmother's brother Uncle Mi. At that time, because of the Jiannanhou Mansion, Mrs. Mi still had to rely on her in-laws to seek a future for her son. He also made great efforts to envelop Mi's, and the four seasons of the year were continuous, and he often sent the east to the west on weekdays, and he had to go to the Hou Mansion to visit Mi's two or three times a month. Dip some oil and water by the way. The old princess thought she was a good stepmother at that time. For the sake of the youngest son and daughter-in-law, he asked Uncle Mi, who had just passed the entrance examination, to find a shortage of Chengdu magistrates, and Uncle Mi took his old mother, wife and children to take office. Although Shu is far away from Beijing, it is a prosperous and rich place, and he made a few fortunes there. And because he has the Hou Mansion as a backer, the idle officials can't get into his eyes, even if it's the prefect, he doesn't pay much attention to it. Others are afraid of the prestige of the Hou Mansion. Although he was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't bear to let him score three points.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. The princess of the county died suddenly, and the eldest son Zhao Jiong attacked the lord, and Uncle Mi had no backer. At that time, his bosses and colleagues began to look at him unpleasantly. When the news of Zhao Zhuo and Mi's death came, those people finally had no scruples and began to think about rectifying Uncle Mi. Uncle Mi has always been fearless, and he is not strict in his work, he was caught in pigtails, and it took a lot of effort to get out of trouble. Half of the income from Shudi's tenure has been spent. The remaining half was used by him to apply for a transfer. Chengdu is attached to Guo, and the prefect and the prefect are in the same city, and everything is not comfortable. He is not stupid, he knows that he has offended too many bosses, and he still has small pigtails that no one can pull out, and if he continues to stay in Shudi, there will never be a good result, so he took a lot of effort and was transferred away from afar, and landed in a poor county, where he suffered for a few years.

Since then, he has been an honest official step by step, slowly moving up. Even if you are still greedy in your heart, because you have no backer, you don't dare to go too far, lest you be sued. At that time, apart from having the name of an official, his situation was not as comfortable and rich as when he was at home, and he had a grudge against his dead sister in his heart. As the saying goes, three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to Guo provincial city. Chengdu is attached to Guo and the city, and his sister Mi actually found such a place for him to be the magistrate, which is simply harming him! If he changes places, how can there be so many bosses who can't get along with him? He didn't reflect on his arrogance, he offended people everywhere because he had good relatives, and he was not greedy enough, so he took money that he shouldn't have taken, but blamed his sister's family for the responsibility, so he naturally didn't have the mood to care about his nephew. The mediocre family made him a lot stingy, so he simply cut off contact with his in-laws and was exempted from the annual festival.

Uncle Mi has no backer, his own talent is mediocre, and his interpersonal relationship is not too good. This is last year's incident, and no one knows if there are any officials in the Jiannanhou Mansion who deliberately take care of him for a few points. Anyway, after he arrived in office, he was honest for a few months, and inquired about the nephew in Beijing who attacked the marquis, and he was very favored by the new emperor. Even if the letter sent to Beijing by the trustee was only responded to by a message, he still felt fluttering, thinking that Zhao Wei recognized him and still respected him. And since he is already the uncle of the marquis, the ordinary officials are not in his eyes.

Probably because he suffered a loss in Shudi, he didn't offend his boss and colleagues too much, and he is now the highest governor in Pingdu Prefecture, and no one else pressed on his head, so there are not many opportunities to offend people with higher status than him. And those with lower status than him, he didn't think it was offended. He showed off in front of people all day that he had a nephew, and said how respectful his nephew was to him. When others inquired about him, they believed it, gave him many gifts, and entrusted him with errands.

Although Uncle Mi was stupid, his mother, Mrs. Mi, was not dizzy, scolded her son, and asked him not to take care of everything, only picking a few offended families to accept gifts, and the others all returned, and began to use the name of the Hou Mansion to say good family affairs to a pair of children. There happens to be a local family that has a daughter who is both talented and beautiful, and she is outstanding. Mrs. Mi had the heart to tell her grandson, but people didn't look down on Uncle Mi as a person, so she chose another child of a family for her daughter. Mrs. Mi was not angry, and Uncle Mi was even more annoyed. Because in the past two years, many Shandong families have been involved in the Ying Wang rebellion case. Many families were copied, and the whole family was beheaded, and exiled. Derogatory derogatory. There was no such thing as that family here, but because he had married one of the families that had been raided, Uncle Mi found a reason to frame his family for rebellion and copied it cleanly, and even the family that had just married his family was also implicated.

The gentry of Pingdu Prefecture were angry about this, and they did not dare to speak. But because everyone knows that Uncle Mi has a nephew behind him who is Jiannanhou, and Jiannanhou won the emperor's blue eyes because of his meritorious rescue efforts, everyone only thought that this was Jiannanhou's acquiescence. but endured this breath. Uncle Mi became more and more proud, and said nothing in Pingdu Prefecture, and the scenery was incomparable.

Pingdu Prefecture is not on the road to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so Uncle Mi did not come to Dongchang to welcome Qincha this time. Zhao Wei, Zhao Xiu and Uncle Mi have long broken off contact. Where will I inquire about him? They don't even know that Uncle Mi is an official in Shandong right now! If it weren't for my aunt Zhao Yuanniang's letter. They must still be kept in the dark. If in the future, if someone can't get used to what Uncle Mi did, sue the capital, and implicate Zhao Wei, he wants to cry out for injustice, and people may not believe it.

Zhang was so angry that his whole face was iron-blue, and his voice was still a little trembling: "How dare he do this? How dare he?! ”

Zhao Wei's face was also very ugly. Uncle Mi treated their brother and sister ruthlessly and unjustly, and he didn't intend to pay attention to each other at all. People don't bother him, and he doesn't care about people. I didn't expect this to stop Uncle Mi from making trouble. Just by virtue of the name of an uncle, he has nothing to rely on. He dared to use his name to collect wealth and harm others. Zhao Wei really couldn't wait to grab Uncle Mi in front of him immediately, so that he could get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Zhao Xiu said to Zhao Wei sternly: "Brother can't deal with it strictly. This kind of thing is inexplicable, and you must personally deal with it, rehabilitate the unjust case, and teach your uncle a lesson before you can clear yourself up. It's not that our family is afraid of things, but the family is a prominent family, and they are in contact with each other, and there are classmates, the same year, etc., and I don't know when they will make another family of enemies because they have offended one family. Besides, my uncle is acting recklessly in Pingdu Prefecture, and everything is in the name of my brother, which has ruined your reputation, and if it spreads in Shilin, it will not be good for my brother. If someone goes to Beijing to sue, even if the emperor knows that his brother has been wronged, the imperial history will also refer to his brother's book, saying that you failed to restrain your relatives. In this case, it is better to cook it ourselves. ”

Zhang also nodded: "That's it." Your mother is a good daughter-in-law, I know it in my heart. Uncle Nami is not good, because his mother taught him badly. When your mother was not out of the cabinet, she was not less rubbed by your stepmother. You don't have to be afraid, but if anyone accuses you of disrespecting your parents, spread the word about what their mother and son did that day. My sister didn't even have a stick of incense when she died, and she didn't care about her nephew for more than ten years, and her nephew posted it to make friends when he was beautiful, and he was corrupt in office, using his power to avenge personal revenge, etc., which one can see people? Such a person who tends to be inflammatory, vainly wants to use the reputation of Jiannanhou Mansion to show off his prestige? Do his big spring and autumn dreams! ”

Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu responded together, and comforted the Zhang family and persuaded her not to be angry. The brother and sister walked out of the cabin and looked at each other, not in a good mood.

Zhao Wei sighed and said: "My grandfather and mother are both decent people, why would they put such a troublesome seed on Uncle Mi?" If you do bad things, you have to publicize them to the whole world. The most ridiculous thing is that before he does it, he doesn't first see if his so-called backer is willing to endorse him. I really caused a big disaster, I didn't know it, and even if my reputation was damaged, I would be punished several times, punished once, demoted, and finally there would be no hindrance. But his future is difficult to guarantee, maybe he can't even keep his reputation. He is not a person who has not suffered losses, why doesn't he know how to think about it before doing things? ”

Zhao Xiu was thinking about something else: "According to what my aunt said, Uncle Mi did these things almost half a year ago. Uncle Xu is an official in Shandong, and Pingdu Prefecture is also a jurisdiction, so it is not difficult to know these things. The consequences of the matter are so strict, it may implicate my brother at any time, why doesn't my aunt say it? This year's Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chongyang Festival, I sent someone to the Xu family on time, and the Xu family also returned the gift. Just looking at the gift list, I know that my aunt is also preparing very carefully. She had the time to prepare gifts, so why couldn't she mention them in her letters? If it weren't for my brother asking Xu Shiying to bring those books back to Cousin Xu, the Xu family would be grateful, would my aunt plan to continue to hide it from us? (To be continued......)
