The population of the long house is simple, there are few in-laws who walk around during the New Year's Festival, and there are many relatives in the second room.

Especially this year, firstly, the new funeral of the Yang family, a stick of incense, and secondly, the old lady He was sick, and a few words of greeting.

Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing returned to the main house, and Xia Jingqing and several Zheng family brothers talked around Mrs. Zheng and greeted each other.

Xia Huqing was a little embarrassed, but said that she was tired and went to rest in the blue yarn cupboard.

Old Mrs. Zheng's heart was bright, she glanced at the suddenly extra hosta on her head, and nodded with a smile.

Zhen Xuan drank tea while looking at the Zheng brothers.

Gu is sixteen or seventeen years old, the Zheng family is scholarly, between gestures, the scale of advance and retreat is appropriate, whether it is in front of the elders or between sisters, such brothers are always liked.

Liao's mother came in from outside, and when she saw the excitement in the house, she didn't know how to speak for a while.

When Mrs. Zheng saw it, she knew that Liao's mother must have something to say, so she instructed Xia Jingqing: "Don't accompany my old woman to chatter, take your brothers to the garden, don't go crazy and come over for dinner later." ”

Xia Jingqing laughed a few times, and the Zheng brothers got up to say goodbye.

Zhen Xuan was thinking about whether she should also avoid it, when she saw that Liao's mother had already arrived at Mrs. Zheng's side.

"In the second room, the second aunt and grandmother are back." Liao's mother said in a low voice.

Old Lady Zheng frowned.

Zhen Xuan was surprised by the reaction of Mrs. Zheng and Liao's mother, the second aunt and grandmother came back to save their relatives and it was also a common thing in the New Year's Festival, why did they look like this.

"Did the second aunt come along? Just one person? Mrs. Zheng asked.

Liao's mother's face was even darker: "The second aunt didn't come, but the second aunt and grandmother came back with the child." ”

Old Mrs. Zheng took a sip of tea, and said in a half-loud voice: "Look carefully at the movement in Pingcui Garden." Don't pass on anything to the Immortal Residence. ”

Liao's mother nodded. Go down and arrange.

Yuzhu gently rubbed her temples for Mrs. Zheng.

Zhen Xuan sat there. I couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so I simply shut up and didn't say anything.

When he returned to Tianyi Courtyard at night, Zhen Xuan called to play chess, wanting to ask Xia Huanqing about it.

Xia Huanqing got married before Zhen Xuan entered the door, she was born to Aunt Zhang, and the Chen family treated her closely, but because the sixth master was a concubine, Mrs. He didn't pay much attention to this granddaughter.

But a girl is a girl. Although Mrs. He doesn't like it, she doesn't treat her like suppressing Xia Suqing, and both her grandparents and grandchildren are okay with face.

Xia Huanqing married a merchant family in Yunzhou City, surnamed Liu.

The Liu family is a big family in Yunzhou, the family has a large population, the thirteenth master of the Liu family came to Yongzhou to do business, and met a beautiful woman in the temple by chance, and asked around to know that it was Xia Huanqing.

Liu Shisanye is the center of the family, and he has always been a character who does whatever he wants, regardless of the opinions of his elders. insisted on marrying Xia Hanqing.

Chen was originally unwilling, and Yunzhou was far away. Xia Huanqing is also a strong temper, he will not bow his head and say anything soft, in case he doesn't get along well with his elders, there are some things that the Xia family can't take care of at all.

Liu Shisanye is not a character who gives up easily, and after thinking about it, Mrs. He's heart is full of the dowry list issued by the Liu family.

Mrs. He was mixed up, in the end, she listened to the persuasion of the second old lady, whether it is good or not, you must let the elders of the Liu family say something, otherwise the Xia family will marry a young lady, and in the eyes of Yunzhou people, it will be Liu Shisanye's private marriage, not a wife at all, and a concubine.

Mrs. He wants to save face, Xia Huanqing sinks into the fish and falls into the goose, even if the status of the concubine is poor, there is no need to be a concubine for others, especially if she marries with a wife ceremony but becomes a concubine, and it is spread out, and it is Mrs. He's person who loses it.

In the end, Liu Thirteen Ye explained the Liu family, and the two families came and went, and this family matter was settled.

Xia Hanqing was in a sedan chair in a beautiful scenery, and he never came back after going to Yunzhou.

This time he came back suddenly, and the reason for this was unclear.

Zhen Xuan was also a little puzzled after hearing this, it stands to reason that there was no problem with this family affair back then, why did Mrs. Zheng and Liao's mother react like that today?

Moreover, it has not even been the tenth day of the first lunar month at this time, Xia Huanqing has already arrived at Xia's house, which shows that she has not celebrated the New Year in Yunzhou at all.

Liu Shisanye didn't come, but Xia Huanqing took the child back to her parents' house, what is this......

Blowing out the lamp, Zhen Xuan leaned on Xia Yiqing to raise the doubts in her heart.

Xia Yiqing held Zhen Xuan's palm and said slowly: "I didn't ask the second sister about this, but I deduced that the Liu family might want to divorce his wife." ”

"Divorce your wife?" Zhen Xuan couldn't help but let out a low cry and looked at Xia Yiqing in surprise.

In the dark, Xia Yiqing's expression was indistinguishable, only the eyes that were as black as ink were heavy and clear, looking calm, but there was a dark tide underneath.

Xia Yiqing gently patted Zhen Xuan's back and told him some of the things he knew.

When Xia Huanqing got married, she listened to a few words from her ancestors, and her daughter who married far away had no relatives by her side, so she restrained her temper and added more harmony with her elders.

In the past half a year of marriage, Xia Liqing also asked people to go to Yunzhou to inquire, knowing that Xia Hanqing's life was smooth after marriage, and the family was also a lot more relieved.

Until before that, Dayjin went to Meizhou.

Meizhou passed through Yunzhou along the road, and I also accidentally heard a rumor that the Liu family gave birth to a deaf girl. Dayjin was heartfelt, and after inquiring, he learned that it was Xia Hanqing who gave birth to a deaf lady.

After the news came back, Xia Yiqing discussed it with Mrs. Zheng, and decided to hide it, since the Liu family didn't come to report it, they could be regarded as not knowing.

Who knew that all of a sudden, Xia Hanqing came back with the child.

"If it hadn't fallen out, how could you come back at this time?" Xia Yiqing thought about it for a while and glanced at Zhen Xuan's belly, "Qi Niang, you will work hard tomorrow to go to Pingcui Garden to see what the second sister means." ”

Zhen Xuan and Xia Huanqing have never met, but now, she has become the right person.

The Chen family and Aunt Zhang are concerned about the chaos, the Zhang family is not idle, and the old lady He is sick again, if the sister-in-law of the Yang family is here, she will come forward to ask Xia Hanqing is the best, and now this matter will fall on Zhen Xuan, the second sister-in-law.

"The matter of the next room, the second uncle and grandmother ......" Zhen Xuan had some scruples, after all, it was a private matter of the second room, but after thinking about it, if it was really a big deal like divorce, it would be a matter for the entire Xia family, she nodded, "I'll go over tomorrow." ”

That's for now.

The divorce of his wife tearing his face is rare in large households in Yongzhou.

It's all about face, as long as it's not that the woman is too dislike and has committed adultery, life is the same.

Even if you can't give birth to a son, raising a concubine and passing another room, it's all okay, as for the crime of disrespecting your in-laws, you don't need your in-laws to clean it up, your mother's family will subdue the girl first.

Even the third old lady of the Pei family, who had divorced his wife several times, did not really drive Mrs. Jia out of the house.

Is the Yunzhou Liu family really so careless?

It's no wonder that Mrs. Zheng is so careful today, for fear that this matter will spread to the Immortal Residence and let the old ancestor hang on fire.

Zhen Xuan scheduled to go to Pingcui Garden in the morning.

Xia Hanqing's daughter is not much older than Sister Xi, and she originally wanted to take Sister Xi over, but thinking that the child in the rumor could not speak, Zhen Xuan still gave up.

Xia Hanqing lived in the small courtyard in the west corner of Pingcui Garden, which was also her boudoir before she got married.

The maid guarding the door was brought back by Xia Huanqing, who didn't recognize Zhen Xuan, and Yancui, who was talking in a whisper, heard the movement and hurriedly greeted her.

"Why is the second grandmother here?" Yancui helped Zhenxuan and said to the maid guarding the door, "This is the second grandmother of the long house." ”

Yancui was by Aunt Zhang's side, and Zhen Xuan asked her softly, "But where is your aunt?" Is it convenient for me to go in and talk to my second aunt? ”

Yancui nodded violently: "The second grandmother can go in and persuade her, but my aunt stopped the slaves and maids outside and cried for half an hour." ”

Aunt Zhang was excited to see her daughter she hadn't seen for several years, who knew that there were still these contradictions, how could she not be sad.

Yeon-cui reported outside the house.

After a few words, the maid came out of it to welcome Zhenxuan in.

Zhen Xuan raised her eyes and saw that Aunt Zhang was sitting with her eyes red, and the woman next to her should be Xia Huanqing.

Xia Huanqing is a beautiful embryo, even if she comes back from a long journey, she looks tired and thin, and it is difficult to hide her moving beauty.

Xia Huanqing glanced at Zhen Xuan's belly, Liu Ye frowned, and looked at several maids dissatisfied: "Why don't you say that the second sister-in-law is pregnant?" I've been waiting outside for so long in the middle of winter. ”

After a few words, Xia Hanqing came over and asked Zhen Xuan to sit down: "I just came back, I didn't know that my second sister-in-law was happy and negligent." ”

Zhen Xuan shook his head and said with a light smile: "I came here suddenly, and it is also beneficial to sit all day long, and occasionally stand and walk." ”

Aunt Zhang wiped her eyes and wanted to stand up, before the two of them had no taboos, Zhen Xuan was different, she was still standing as a concubine.

Zhen Xuan saw her movements and stopped holding chess: "Auntie, there are no outsiders in the house, don't pay attention to those." ”

Aunt Zhang hesitated to look at Zhen Xuan, and then looked at Xia Huanqing, Xia Wanqing nodded, and then she slowly sat back again.

When the tea was added, the maids in the room withdrew, leaving only the three of them to talk.

Zhen Xuan got straight to the point and said: "Yesterday, I knew that the second sister was back, my grandmother was very worried, and the second master was also a little worried, so I came to take a look." ”

Having said this, Xia Huanqing knew what his situation was, so he naturally understood.

Aunt Zhang clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said with red eyes: "Is this going to be the master of my aunt?" Is it? ”

Zhen Xuan's mind came to Xia Yiqing's eyes last night, if Xia Wanqing was not at fault, the Liu family insisted on going his own way, and the Xia family would not be willing to lose face by being so dumb. Although she is the daughter of the next room, Mrs. Zheng is not soft-tempered, and she will not be easy to count.

As for the second room, what is Mrs. He's thoughts, Zhen Xuan can't say for a while, the second old lady has a hot temperament, if Yunzhou is on the next street, he can go and tear down the gate of Liu's house in a blink of an eye.

"Yes." Zhen Xuan nodded, "Where can the daughter of the Xia family be bullied like this." ”

Xia Huanqing bit her lip tightly and said fiercely: "Second sister-in-law, anyway, I don't have a relationship with the surname Liu." Don't think it's so easy to divorce your wife, I want to reconcile. (To be continued......)
