Old Madam Xiahou smiled, uncovered the lid of the topaz double-ringed tiger kiss incense burner in front of her, put a handful of sandalwood into it, and said leisurely: "Mrs. Qin Guo is a Shu clan, and she is a high climber of our Xiahou family when she fills the house." If she wants to be the original matchmaker, she is indeed not qualified. ”

Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Look at what my great-grandmother said, it seems that she is crying and shouting that she wants to marry me." ”

"Isn't it?" Old Madam Xiahou gasped and looked Xiahou Yuan up and down, "The eldest son of my Xiahou family, can there be a woman who can't look down on you?" ”

Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Great-grandmother, now I am a great-grandson, I can't wait to cry and shout for her to marry me, but ...... She didn't have me in her heart at all, and she never thought of marrying me. Although I became interested in her because she was born like my grandfather, the more I got to know her, the more I didn't want to believe that she had anything to do with our Xiahou family. I'd rather she was just an ordinary Shu woman, even if she married and had children, I Xiahou Yuan didn't care......"

Old Madam Xiahou glanced at Xiahou Yuan deeply, "Are you worried that she is really related to our Xiahou family?" But no matter how related she is, she won't be surnamed Xiahou......"

Because it is obviously related to the Xiahou family, it is her mother Fang Yuniang, not her father Du Xiancheng. In other words, even if she is related to the Xiahou family, she is also a cousin, and she is definitely not a cousin.

It is very common for cousins to get married, and to kiss each other.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Really? Great-grandmother really doesn't object to me marrying Frost?! ”

Old Madam Xiahou was stunned and glanced at Xiahou Yuan. He said, "So you're going around and around, just to get your great-grandmother in!" ”

Xiahou Yuan laughed, and immediately went over to beat the legs of the old lady Xiahou like a flattering person, and said with a smile: "Great-grandmother, I know that from her father's side, she is not a scholar, but if her mother is really our Xiahou lineage, can great-grandmother open the net?" ”

Old Madam Xiahou glanced at him and muttered, "Have you told your father about this matter?" ”

Xiahou Yuan said embarrassedly: "...... I didn't say it that way. But they should know, right? From the moment he hurriedly took Xiahou Wushuang to chase Du Hengshuang back to Dingzhou. They should already know, right?

"Alas, you kid, no one looks down on you, and the last thing you actually fell in love with such a person. It's really wrong......" Old Madam Xiahou shook her head. Pointing to Xiahou Yuan's forehead, he said, "You don't have to worry about it at home." If then Mrs. Qin Guo is willing to marry you. Think about the side of things. Now that you haven't even written a few words, you're trying to convince me and your parents, I really don't know what you think......"

Xiahou Yuan stood up. Zhengse said: "You can't say that. If neither my great-grandmother nor my father nor my mother approve of me marrying her, why should I provoke her? Do I have to let her fall in love with me and tell her that my family does not agree and cannot marry her, so she will either make me an outer room or separate? - Nata also did it. He didn't dare to be too enthusiastic about Du Hengshuang before, because he was worried that his family would not agree. Knowing that his family does not agree, he still wants to provoke the little lady of other people's family, in Xiahou Yuan's opinion, it is the next work.

Xiahou Yuan was so cautious, but the old lady Xiahou was stunned, and after a long time, she nodded slowly and said, "It turns out that you really want to marry her......"

The children of the general scholar clan, for the women of the Hanmen Shu clan, are at most accepted as concubines, and most of them are raised as outer rooms. Like Xu Shao, who marries to fill the house, basically the Shu woman has to have the color of the country like Fang Yuniang, and she also has to be a character like Xu Shao who is a man of his word in the clan to be able to do it. Don't think about anyone else.

And Xiahou Yuan is actually willing to treat a woman from the Hanmen Shu clan like Du Hengshuang who begged to leave the court as a wife, which is really rare.

Old Madam Xiahou sighed, shook her head and said, "Don't say such things yet." I think that Mrs. Qin Guo is a woman with her own ideas. Look at her words and deeds, there is no reverence for other Hanmen Shu women for the scholars. I also heard that she not only killed the Turkic Khan with one arrow, but also broke the arm of Cui Saburo of the Qinghe Cui family with two arrows. ”

Xiahou Yuan sneered and said, "Cui Sanlang is humiliating himself, besides, our Xiahou family is still afraid that their Cui family will not succeed?" ”

"Well, it's good if you're not afraid." Old Madam Xiahou smiled and nodded, "You go back and rest, I'm tired for a day, and I want to rest." ”

Drove away Xiahou Yuan, but the old lady Xiahou didn't go to rest, she sat in a daze for a while, stood up and walked to her dressing table, dragged out a makeup box, opened the lid, took out a very elegant green jade arm from the innermost layer inside, looked at it over and over, and muttered: "Chanjuan, I actually saw a woman who looks like you today......" Thinking of that secret past, the old lady Xiahou closed her eyes and sighed lightly, it can't be so coincidental......

……

Xiao Yi traveled day and night and rushed back to Chang'an.

For convenience, he entered the city through the southern gates.

Xiao Shiji stood guard at the gate of the southern city.

Seeing him come back, Xiao Shiji was very happy, and hurriedly said to the guards next to him, asking him to temporarily take his shift, and he and Xiao Yi went to a nearby restaurant to talk.

Xiao Yi said about the situation in Dingzhou, and said at the end: "Uncle, rest assured, Mrs., the little master, and the young ladies are doing well in Dingzhou, and the Xiahou family in Dingzhou has specially sent a general to them as a goalkeeper, and the lady has been named Mrs. Qin, and will return to Chang'an to thank her, and when His Majesty gives Mrs. Qin's honor guard, she won't have to worry about it." ”

"The Xiahou family sent a general to be a goalkeeper for them?" Xiao Shiji was taken aback, "Why is this?" ”

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "The little prince of Xiahou had a relationship with his wife, and now his wife has gone to settle in Dingzhou, and I heard that he has chased him." I lived there in Dingzhou for two days, and I heard from their subordinates that Xiahou Xiaowang specially posted a post to invite his wife and his family to Xiahou's house as guests. ”

When Xiao Shiji heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. But he couldn't go to Dingzhou to see what was going on, so he had to sigh and say, "Forget it." As long as the Xiahou family can take good care of them, I will be grateful to them for a lifetime. ”

Xiao Yi was also very embarrassed, and didn't want to continue talking about this topic, but said: "Uncle, the second master has listed a lot of expenses recently, and he wants to receive money from the account office in the outer courtyard, what do you think ......?" ”

Xiao Shiji said disapprerovingly: "As long as you keep the money for me to run the martial arts hall, give him the rest." - How much can he use? ”

"Uncle, you can't say that." Xiao Yi's eyes widened, "The second master wants to do business in partnership with the Long family." has already set up a big shop in the East Market. The bunk alone costs 20,000 taels of silver! ”

Burst!

As soon as Xiao Shiji heard this, he squirted out a sip of wine.

Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped aside and dodged.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver to buy a shop? Why didn't he grab it?! Xiao Shiji was furious. He asked himself that he had always been magnanimous to this younger brother, and that he had never deducted money from it. But when he opened his mouth, he asked for 20,000 taels of silver to buy a shop. It's still a bit outrageous.

Xiao Yi hurriedly poured wine for Xiao Shiji. said: "Uncle, don't worry. The second master also said that half of this shop is considered to be the uncle's, and he only accounts for 30%. The other two percent are given to the Long family. ”

Xiao Shihe said with a tiger face: "I am an official, and I can't have a shop under my name, doesn't he know the way?" "In the past, Xiao Shi and the shops under his name, after he became an official, were transferred to Du Hengshuang's name. However, when Du Hengshuang left, he returned the deed papers of those shops, granges and houses to him, but the names on those deed papers were still Du Hengshuang's name......

Xiao Shiji's heart moved, and he suddenly understood that his younger brother Xiao Taiji did not do this to ask for money from him to buy a shop, but to remind him to quickly change the names on those shops, granges and house deeds back!

Du Hengshuang has already begged to leave the Xiao family, and he should no longer hold Xiao Shiji's property.

It stands to reason that if Xiao Shiji marries a stepwife, these properties can be changed to his stepwife's name, or they can all be changed to the names of Brother Ping, Sister An and Brother Yang......

Xiao Shiji slowly raised his wine glass, took another sip of wine, and said, "Go and take out those deed papers and change them to the child's name." ”

Xiao Yi was stunned and asked, "Uncle, what if you marry a stepwife and give birth to a son in the future?" "Is it time to divide all the property to Du Hengshuang's children now? Wouldn't the wife who marries again in the future make a fuss?!

Xiao Shiji smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I'll talk about it later." Do as I say. Then he told the second master, and said that there was no cash at home, and he wanted to buy a shop, so he went to someone to borrow money. All the money from our family was used to run the school. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and said, "The old lady has been a little bad lately, and she has been having a low-grade fever. Look, do you want to ask someone to take a look? ”

"Of course, please, why do you want to ask me about this?" Xiao Shiji was a little displeased, "What about the second master?" Does he not care? ”

Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed and stammered: "The second master said that the uncle has to call the shots about inviting Langzhong." ”

Xiao Shiji leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, and said, "Sure enough, I raised him stupidly." - Well, let's live separately, lest he worry about my little things every day. I gave him quite a bit. Put all his things in place, and he can definitely take out 20,000 taels. ”

Xiao Yi was silent. Of course, he knows Xiao Taiji's net worth. Although the family was separated, Xiao Shiji never wronged this younger brother. Just a few months ago, Xiao Shihe came back from the battle in Jiangling, and secretly divided Xiao Tai and a part of the private money he saved in Jiangling. Xiao Shiji didn't tell her this money because he was afraid that Du Hengshuang would make trouble with him, but gave it directly to Xiao Taiji. Just that amount of money is more than 20,000 taels.

"Uncle, are you serious?" Xiao Yi thought about it, but still wanted to confirm, "Last time, the uncle also said that they should move out, but as soon as the second master cried and begged, the uncle relented and changed his mind." "If Xiao Shiji changes his mind again, he is a brother, and he Xiao Yi is not a person inside and out......

Xiao Yi is talking about Xiao Tai and being lured into gambling debts outside a few days ago. That time, Xiao Shiji really wanted Xiao Tai and his family to move out, but Xiao Taiji begged, and he wanted to be separated from his wife now, and only this younger brother and sister were relatives, so he relented and forgave him once.

didn't expect this to come, but it made him kick his nose and face, and he had to inch in.

Xiao Shiji's face sank, and he said, "It's not more than three." I already told him last time, there is no next time. Now that he's restless again, I'm not going to let him go anymore. You let them do it, and they have three days to move out of their homes. Leave the inner courtyard to Yanran, and you will still be in charge of the outer courtyard. Also, remember to change the names of the three children on the deed paper to the names of the three children and divide them equally. ”

Xiao Yi asked cautiously, "Sister An is going to marry in the future, is this ...... Also to be divided? ”

Xiao Shihe said "oh", "Then give Sister An half of it, and the remaining half of the two boys will each have half of it." In the future, the new industry will only be given to two boys. "This is considered a dowry for Sister An'er, and it has been set.

Xiao Yi was stunned and said with a smile: "Our sister An'er is no worse than her mother-in-law with this dowry alone." ”

Xiao Shiji remembered the year when Du Hengshuang first married him, the expression on his face involuntarily softened, and he said gently: "I hope she is blessed than her mother and marries a better man." ”

Xiao Yi: "......".

After the two finished discussing things, they had dinner again before parting ways in front of the restaurant.

Xiao Yi returned to the Xiao family's mansion to deal with affairs.

Xiao Shi and returned to the south gate of the city to stand guard.

As soon as Xiao Yi returned to the Xiao family's mansion, he immediately summoned all the people in the inner courtyard of the house and instructed: "The second master's family will move away in three days, everyone remember to clean up the manpower." The people of the second master's family will not receive money in our accounts in the future. Also, when they move out, someone will have to watch, and everything in our big house will be in the booklet, and when the time comes, we will look at it in the same way, and everything that is less will fall on you to make up for it. ”

All these men answered, and busily went to sort out the books of accounts and assign men.

Xiao Yi took a note from Xiao Shiji and came to the courtyard where Xiao Taiji lived, and asked to see Xiao Taiji.

Xiao Taiji had just returned from outside and was drinking chilled mung bean soup at home.

Hearing that Xiao Yi was coming, he hurriedly let him in.

Xiao Yi handed over Xiao Shiji's note and said with a smile: "Second master, our uncle instructed that the second master be given three days to move out of the city and go to another place." ”

"What?!" Xiao Taihe put down the small porcelain bowl of mung bean soup, took the note from Xiao Yi's hand and looked at it, and said angrily: "I don't believe it!" You've got to be the trickster! I'm going to see Big Brother! ”

"Please." Xiao Yi also wanted Xiao Tai to ask in person. In case Xiao Shiji changes his mind again, he doesn't have to be busy......

Xiao Tai ran out of the house in a rage, and when he came back in the evening, he ordered his subordinates to start packing up. - It's time to move.

Xiao Yi was relieved, went to Xiao Yanran again, and gave her the pair of cards he took from Long Shuzhi.

Three days later, Xiao Taiji moved out of the Xiao family's mansion with a two-bedroom family and found another house to live in.

Xiao Shiji also ushered in a new day at the South City Gate.

On this day, Emperor Yongchang sat in Luan, took Mu Zhaoyi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the four princes, that is, the newly sealed Qi King Qi Jianzhi, to go to Renzhi Palace, a hundred miles away from Chang'an, to hunt and escape the summer, and walked out of the south city gate.
