This Sunday, we will add a new update to thank new and old friends for their various support! Thank you!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone turned their heads to look, and four or five old men came panting, it was the Xia family patriarch who had been "bought" and several clan elders in the clan.

The patriarch glared at Xia Linyu's brothers very angrily, these losers have damaged the reputation of their Xia family again and again, and they almost broke things.

Since the Yongping Marquis Mansion was deprived of the title, their Xia family has fallen, one generation is not as good as the next, the literature is not martial, and there is no talent for trading.

A few days ago, several clan elders sat together and talked about the Xia family ancestral hall that had not been repaired for nearly ten years, and the clan study had been closed for many years, but now the poor people in the clan accounted for most of them. Where can I get the money?

The worst thing is that there are not many children of the new generation of school-age who are expected to gain fame, and there are three of them studying in the original most prosperous Xia Zhihan Mansion, but it is a pity that despite Zhou's boasting, everyone still secretly shook their heads: There is little hope!

Xia Linyu's eldest son Xia Shuyi is 18 years old this year, and he is quite diligent, but unfortunately his qualifications are not good.

The second son Xia Shuyao is 16 years old, his qualifications are much better than his brother, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of 15. Zhou forced him to study, and he had to negotiate with him about the conditions, either to send a maid or to give silver. Zhou said that this son will definitely be on the gold list in the future, and the people who hear it are just smiling, and his mouth is on others, why don't people dream and brag?

The only more promising is Xia Linang and Yu's sister-in-law Xia Shuwei, who is 13 this year, very smart, and Yu's is also strict, and his performance in the school is still good.

When the elders of the clan sighed, one person mentioned Xia Linxuan's eldest son, Xia Shujie, and heard that the child had already won the show, and he had excellent qualifications, both civil and military.

Immediately, other people echoed it, and the reputation of the Xia Family Tofu Workshop had already spread in Yulin County and several surrounding counties, but no one was able to steal the teacher successfully in the open operation. What does this mean? It shows that people are blessed, plus the little white tiger and the red fox, and now everyone is spreading that the three children of the Xia family are blessed by God.

No, not only God blesses, but the celebrity Jin Xida next to the emperor turned out to be a close friend of their parents, and he openly said that he was the elder of the three children and would take care of them in the future. Then, he quickly fulfilled his promise and "pasted silver" to help the three brothers and sisters buy a Zhuangzi and a prosperous shop.

The clan elders see hope in this, they have qualifications, good luck, backers, and they are diligent and sensible, can they still find a second one in the Xia family now?

"It's a pity!" The patriarch suddenly remembered that these children had not yet entered the summer family tree!

Xia Zhihan is confused, they are not confused. Several clan elders chattered and discussed for a long time, and unanimously decided that the three most promising babies could not really be separated from their Xia family, and let them "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors".

Several people were planning to find Shujie to talk about opening the ancestral hall and entering the family tree, and a clansman who set up a stall next to the Xia family's tofu shop to sell snacks hurriedly ran back to report that the queen mother sent someone to the Xia family's courtyard to worship Donnie Yen, and gave the children a lot of rewards, and I heard that they were also given a sign that could enter the palace. However, the palace grandmother was very unhappy when she saw Xia Linyu's family and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.

This is still enough, the patriarch and several clan elders immediately jumped up and ran wildly all the way. Fortunately, the granddaughter of the patriarch was clever and quickly asked someone to find a carriage to follow. Otherwise, when these old men run to the courtyard of the Xia family, they won't be able to speak, right?

The patriarch patted Shujie on the shoulder: "You are still surnamed Xia!" Your father never thought of breaking away from the Xia family, he just broke away from your grandfather's branch. Back then, we said okay, your father will get out, and your family will become a separate branch. It's just that your father promised your grandfather that he would not be able to make it public after he died, and you are still young, so I haven't done this for you yet. No, your grandfather only left the year before last, and your father and mother ...... this year. A few of our clan elders are discussing the matter of your family opening an ancestral hall and entering the family tree today, and even the day has been chosen, and it will be on the first day of the next month, that is, half a month later, it is a very auspicious day. ”

The fifth grandfather, who has always been good to Xia Linxuan's family, also persuaded him "from the bottom of his heart": "Brother Jie, whether your father is a concubine or not, or whether he was driven out of the house by your grandfather, he is an excellent descendant of our Xia family, and your mother is also a good daughter-in-law of our Xia family." You can't be impulsive and bad, you just don't think about yourself, but also for your father and two younger siblings, it's not a last resort, who wants to break away from the family? No matter how poor the clansmen are, they are also your reliance and help at critical times, right? ”

Of course, Shujie knew that the words of the patriarch of the Dao Dao were half-true, and the patriarchs and clan elders had their own selfishness, but the words of the fifth grandfather were not unreasonable, and people without a family were isolated and deceivable in the eyes of others.

Shujie saluted respectfully: "Patriarch Grandpa, please allow me to make a decision after discussing with my younger brothers and sisters, as well as Mother Liu and Aunt Mei." ”

Several clan elders frowned, Shu Yao and Shu Wen are just two six-year-old little milk babies, Mother Liu? Aunt May? It's a servant, right? What's negotiable? Nothing short of nonsense!

A clan elder was about to speak, but was stopped by the patriarch and the fifth grandfather.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that the patriarch explained the identity of Mother Liu, which was told to him by a clansman who came with Xia Linyu when the fifth grandfather persuaded Shujie just now. "As for Aunt Mei in Brother Jie's mouth, she is the maid of their mother Zhen's marriage, and she is also the person who is now doing tofu business to maintain their family's livelihood. If the family wants to revitalize, it needs such a person, otherwise no matter how capable he is, he will only seek the benefit of his own family, and will not take care of the clansmen. ”

Several clan elders looked at the boxes of snacks given by the palace beside them, and nodded approvingly.

There was a haze in the summer mansion.

When Xia Linyu and the brothers saw that the patriarch and the clan elders had completely left them and Shujie to talk about entering the family tree, they were angry and anxious, annoyed and angry, and took their family members away with a heavy "snort".

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, Zhou opened his mouth and scolded: "These old things, how many benefits they used to take from our house, and now they are revolving around that little rabbit cub, they are really a group of old people who forget their righteousness." ”

Xia Linyu slapped his palm on the table: "Still talking?" It's all your brainless mother-in-law! If you hadn't scolded that little girl, Brother Jie wouldn't have turned his face and mentioned it! There is more than enough success and more failure, and there is no good thing with you every time! Is 'Gongyang Mama' also something you can scold? Sooner or later, your son's future rests on you. ”

Xia Linang also had a gloomy face: "Isn't it?" first knocked down Jin Xida's hand, and now he insulted the palace grandmother who came out of the queen's mother's palace, if they are embarrassed and use their mouths to use the relationship, Wei'er They will be in vain no matter how good they do in the exam in the future. ”
