Chapter 458, repay the debt

At dinnertime, Mingjing came back, saying that he had sent Mama Zhou and Juxiang Xiaoxi to the Jiang family's courtyard, and told the touching scene of Zhou's mother and Mama Zhou seeing each other.

Changsheng smiled and said, "I know this must be the case, so I didn't go to see that scene, for fear that I would be provoked to cry and be blamed by you." The courtyard is not big, and there are three people in it at once, plus my mother and Jinhua, it must be a little crowded, right? Now that we are not what it used to be, it is not appropriate to occupy Jiang Gongzi's house again, in case he wants to hide Jiaojiao behind his back, wouldn't he be in a dilemma? It's better to find another place for my aunt to live. ”

Mingjing laughed: "If Yiwen is really Jinwu Zangjiao, the first one who is not at ease should be you, a man has a friendship with the bad, you must be worried that he will do everything possible to pull me into the water!" But you're right, you should find another place for your aunt, and you can't keep letting her send someone to the fence. ”

Changsheng snorted, "Why don't you try it?" See I don't skin you! Let's get down to business, it's not what it used to be, we have the conditions to do what we wanted to do now, and there are a lot of things to do, you have to work hard. Jiang Gongzi will be rewarded with a generous reward, you go to the private treasury at night to pick up a few good treasures to send him, and when we move to the princess's mansion, we will invite him and the lady to come as a guest, he treats you better than his own brother, and we will come and go as relatives in the future. You don't mean that he is generous, upright, intelligent and capable, and that he is a usable talent, or that he can't use his skills because of his status, and I beg my father when it's convenient for me to help him if there is a suitable opportunity. ”

Mingjing nodded: "Yiwen has been my confidant and good brother all my life, if I really have the opportunity, I will also ask my father-in-law to help." But now my biggest heart problem is the identity of my aunt, she seems to be docile, but in fact she also admits death, she is dead, and she must be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Xie family as her father's concubine to be at ease, and only when the Xie family spends the rest of her life can she be truly happy.

Although she never said it, I knew that she had always hoped to be her father's rightful concubine, to be buried next to him after a hundred years, and to have a seat in the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, and to enjoy the incense worship of future generations with him. But if she gets rid of the status of the Jiang family's slave and becomes the concubine of the Xie family, the old lady will definitely offer sky-high conditions in exchange. This is easy to say, the key is that after she became a concubine, it was natural for her to accompany the old lady to observe the festival at the Xie family, and she would have to control her in the future, which I absolutely couldn't accept, so I didn't know what to do, and I was stuffy in my heart every day. ”

The humility of the biological mother, the identity of the concubine, has always been Mingjing's biggest heart disease, immortality is also unbearable, the ancients are different, although the aunt is the biological mother can not be regarded as a serious mother-in-law, but she is a modern person, and she still thinks that only the biological mother is the real mother-in-law.

Aunt Wu's idea is too persistent and pedantic in her opinion, that is, to take her to the princess's mansion to enjoy the glory and wealth with her children and grandchildren, and also let her go back to the Xie family to live in the New Year's Festival, especially during the sacrifice, to show that she is still the **** identity of the Xie family, and she will die in the Xie family when she is old and old in the future, and she must accompany her husband as a concubine after death, otherwise she will have a feeling of abandoning her wife, and she will not be at ease until she dies.

comforted him and said: "I understand your feelings, and I also understand my aunt's thoughts, in her eyes it is Princess Dexiao's mansion, although she has a biological son and daughter-in-law, but it is not the Xie family, and she is the concubine of the Xie family, she should be in the Xie family for her husband to observe the festival, at least she should return to the Xie family during the New Year Festival and sacrifices, otherwise she always has a feeling of being under the fence and unidentified." You're right, it's not difficult to restore the identity of the Xie family's concubine, we don't care what the cost is, the key is to let her go back to see the old lady's eyebrows and eyes, how can we bear it?

Didn't Pei Xiang, the old mansion of the Xie family in the capital, give it to us, I didn't dare to use it if I had scruples before, it was also Xie's house, and my aunt lived there and it was not considered a sender. You take the time to clean up and arrange it as soon as possible, and then buy some reliable slaves, I think there will soon be some old slaves who will come to the Lord after knowing the news, let the aunt live in it first, and arrange a small Buddha hall inside, in addition to the god seat, and then put the ancestral tablet and the father's tablet, so that she can chant the scriptures in the morning and evening for peace of mind. That yard is exquisite and comfortable, and it is a serious place for the Xie family, didn't you say that your father has taken you to live a few times before, she lives comfortably and at ease, she will definitely be satisfied, what do you think? ”

Mingjing's eyes lit up: "This is very good, although it is not as good as living in the county uncle's mansion, but it is the best arrangement for the time being." My aunt is humble, the main courtyard has been kept for the old lady has not lived, I think she will never live now, my aunt still lives in the side courtyard where I lived with her and my father before, and the main courtyard is arranged for me to prepare for the two of us to go to live. I remember when I was a child, my father would take me and my aunt to live every year, it was the most relaxing and happiest time for us, and my aunt would be very happy with our best memories. ”

After speaking, he said in pieces: "The emperor gave me to be the captain of the horse, and I don't know how to give a captain's mansion, but I am also a six-rank military attaché, how can I always live with my wife?" If you want to steal incense and jade, you don't have a chance. But it is too public, and the Xie family will be regarded as the official's concubine in the future, and if the princess Hedong lion roars one day, I will go to hide. The last time I went, I found the old plaque of "Xie Fu" written by my father in the firewood room, and I still hung it, and I didn't live up to my father's nurturing grace. ”

Changsheng glanced at him and got down to business: "Don't worry, my aunt's identity will definitely be solved, isn't there still an eldest sister?" I think that after so many things, she will definitely do her best to promote the harmony of the family, and when her brother-in-law returns to Beijing after his term of office, if you ask her, she will definitely persuade the old lady. As for returning to Xie's house, you have forgotten that the former county uncle's mansion is now my other courtyard, and the old lady wants to spend her old age there in her heart, and I believe that my aunt thinks the same way, in their eyes, it is really her husband's house, and it is the place where they should die.

At that time, let her move in with the old lady, and then send some capable servants to serve, now I am the real master of the house, the old lady still depends on me to live, whether she can live in it, whether she can live comfortably is also up to me, what qualifications does she have to be powerful? ”

Mingjing's long-standing stone in his heart finally landed, and he remembered what he wanted to say: "The relationship between Cousin Jinhua and Shi Gongzi has been decided by the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law will take them and the matchmaker back to the countryside in five days to be hired. ”

Changsheng nodded: "I know how to convince my mother to stay." I told my mother before, after she returned to her hometown, she officially married Jinhua, and asked her uncle to take Liangsheng's family of three to Beijing with Jinhua and Shi Gongzi, and the uncle went back after marrying his daughter, and Liangsheng's family stayed. Liangsheng has a good character, he is very talented in reading and works hard, when the time comes, their family of three will also live in the Xie family's courtyard, you can find a good academy for him, let him concentrate on reading and glorify the lintel, lest others mention that our Zhou family used to think that it was a poor peasant household, and now it feels that it is a nouveau riche old wealth. Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are old and helpless and kind to us, and they also live together with their aunt as companions, their son, you hire more people to step up the search, if it doesn't work, we will support the elderly and send them to the end. ”

Mingjing nodded: "Liangsheng's mother-in-law told me, just leave it to me, tomorrow I and the princess's mother-in-law will go to see Princess Ruyi's mansion, and by the way, take a look at the Xie family's house, clean up as soon as possible and let my aunt move over first." Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu will not go over for the time being, the last time I went to see them, I also proposed to find a good place for them to enjoy, but they firmly disagreed, afraid that their son would not find them if they came back after leaving, saying that they could still take care of themselves now, and they would not be able to live in the future. I had to agree and keep the silver, so that Uncle Xu would not work hard to sell steamed buns in the future, and we would just send the firewood, rice and silver money on time, and they finally agreed.

Jinhua will soon return to her hometown with her mother-in-law, even if she returns to Beijing, she will soon get married, and the two old men are alone, and there are still one or two people living in the family, why don't we hire a reliable and capable servant woman to take care of their lives, and then send someone to send the four seasons of clothes, firewood, rice, and silver money on time? You are not in good health now, I will go to see them often, and then continue to look for their son, how about I plan to do the rest later? ”

Changsheng is secretly happy, and her husband is doing things more and more to her heart. "That's a good arrangement, as you say. Didn't the Pei family give us a Zhuangzi in the south of the city? The mother concubine also gave a lot of Zhuangzi courtyards, she gave too many things, the storefront gold silk jewelry or something is good to say, Zhuangzi is not easy to take care of, you have to slowly look for reliable people.

Remember the purple gourd? The eldest brother inquired about her whereabouts before, and I still remember the specific place, she is very smart and capable, and I wanted her to help me, but I guess she was absolutely unwilling, she was afraid that she would encounter the Xie family and cause nightmares, and she was even more afraid of running into the villain of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I heard that the man in her family is also a capable farmer, how about you choose a location where the most comfortable and productive Zhuangzi can live, and let their family manage it for us? It can be regarded as compensation for Zihu, and I can rest assured that I can take care of other industries. ”

Mingjing glanced at her: "I am also very guilty about Zihu, and I didn't protect you well, just according to what you say, I will definitely pick the best Zhuangzi, and then take the time to personally bring someone to pick them up, let your master and servant meet first, and then send her family to Zhuangzi." But what's in charge of the industry? You give me a good baby, these are arranged by me, and everyone is mine, not to mention the things outside the body of the money? ”

Changsheng snorted him: "Everyone else has to support their wives when they marry them, but you have a lot of light, and this princess didn't sell herself to you, why did it become yours?" You went out in the afternoon, and you don't know what happened in the house, and my mother and I can't do it if we don't do it! ”

After speaking, she whispered about the afternoon's events and the arrangements between her and Princess Ji, and said helplessly: "It is precisely because the emperor himself reversed the eldest and youngest people and succeeded to the throne by bloody means that he was most taboo for others to do the same, but I didn't expect that my father-in-law was wise and decisive in the court, but he was so confused in family affairs, you can rest assured, I will also secretly add fuel to the fire, and I can't let him ignore the future of the entire palace and you and me for selfish reasons!"
