It's late today, so I'm sorry TAT.

In addition, there are new characters to appear, and the family tree has been updated.

==========================================================

In October, the weather suddenly became colder.

Aunt Li thought of Zhenke who was still on the road, and read a sentence that the snow had already fallen in the north, and she didn't know if the waterway was smooth.

That night, there was a thick frost, and when Zhen Xuan pushed open the window on the second day, he couldn't help but shudder, turned his head to Bang Mo and said, "It's really cold." ”

Tao Aya came in with hot water, and when she saw that Zhen Xuan was dressed thinly, she hurriedly said, "Miss wear another one, what if you catch a cold?" After that, he looked at Bang Mo again and blamed: "How do you serve?" ”

Bang Mo held the clothes that were turned out of the cabinet in his hand, and was slightly aggrieved: "Who knew that it was so cold today, and the clothes I prepared for Miss yesterday were not warm enough, so I looked for a while, and then delayed." ”

Zhen Xuan also felt cold, and hurriedly took the clothes on his hand and said, "This one is fine." ”

After changing clothes and washing up, Bang Qin came to spread the word that Mrs. Li was waiting for Zhen Xuan to pass.

Today is the day when the garment shop sends clothes, although this year is affected by the disaster, but the Pei family's fields in the south of Yongzhou have little impact, the harvest is good, and the price is good.

Zhou listened to Mrs. Ma's opinion, thinking that there were more opportunities for a few young ladies to go back, and it was indispensable to go to relatives during the New Year's Festival, so he specially called a garment maker to make a few new winter clothes for the young ladies.

Zhen Xuan ate a lot during this time, and thought about growing her body. It was made a little looser, and it was slightly oversized when I put it on.

Ji Shi was satisfied, and looked at it carefully. said: "It's better to be older, there are more clothes in winter, and it looks more joyful when you hold it up." ”

It was afternoon. The porter received a letter from the fourth old lady saying that he would enter the city early tomorrow morning. I was able to go home at noon.

Old Mrs. Li glanced at Mama Qin, sighed, and said, "My fourth sister-in-law is still coming back." ”

When Zhen Xuan heard this, she looked at Mrs. Li, but she couldn't see her joy or anger on her face, only a little bit of affection.

For the family of the four old ladies in the second room. Zhen Xuan's only impression is that the gifts I heard brought back during the New Year's holidays are no more or no less every time, even Mo Yan, the new daughter-in-law, also has a share.

But how many people are in the fourth old lady's family, Zhen Xuan doesn't know at all, thinking that she will see her tomorrow, she is a little apprehensive after all, and asks Tao Aya to invite Mama Qin to come and want to inquire.

Mama Qin was pulled by Zhen Xuan to sit down, took a sip of the tea handed by Tao Aya, and said, "When the fourth old lady left Yongzhou." Miss doesn't seem to be under a year old, and they haven't been back for so many years, so it's no wonder that Miss doesn't know what to do. ”

Mama Qin said carefully, and Zhen Xuan remembered it carefully.

The fourth old lady is twenty out of fifty this year. One year older than the fourth old lady Jiang, only sixteen old men and one son under his knees, and no other children, the sixteenth wife's surname is Zhang, and she has the eldest daughter of the concubine, Miss Nine Zhenjiao, and the eldest son of the eldest son, the Thirteenth Master Zhenxun.

Zhen Xuan was already taken aback when she heard this, and asked, "Why is the concubine in front of the concubine?" Which aunt gave birth to it? ”

Mama Qin didn't expect Zhen Xuan to ask this, she didn't know how to tell a nine-year-old young lady about these things, her old face was dry, and she turned her head away and didn't speak.

As soon as Zhen Xuan's words came out, she guessed that Mama Qin would react like this, but she didn't care about being embarrassed, and pulled Mama Qin and said, "Mama, you love me the most, if you don't tell me these things, I said the wrong thing in front of my fourth uncle and grandfather and grandmother, but how can it be good?" ”

When Mama Qin heard this, she thought that this is indeed the reason, because of those things, there are a lot of taboos in the second room, otherwise it would not be a ** year, and she will not come back during the New Year's holidays, that is, when the ancestor passed away, only the four old ladies came back to live for a while, and did not see the rest of the people.

Mama Qin figured this out, then gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll chew the root of my tongue and talk to Miss with a cheeky face, this thing will be long." ”

Mama Qin took a sip of water and asked Tao Aya to listen to it too, saying that she had to follow Zhen Xuan to ask for peace in the second room in the past few days, and she should pay attention to her words when she speaks.

When the ancestor was alive, the Jiang family, the maiden family of the four old ladies, was also considered to be close to each other, and there were many contacts at that time, except for the New Year's Festival, there was a lot of walking around on weekdays.

The fourth old lady and Mrs. Jiang can be described as pro-plum sweethearts, and their relationship has been excellent since childhood, and after Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, the Jiang family kept her for another year before marrying into the Pei family.

Mrs. Jiang has a refreshing personality and a sweet mouth, she was originally very liked by the ancestors, but no matter how much she likes it, she can't match Mrs. Jiang's unmoving belly, so after a few years, the old ancestors want to stuff people into the room of the fourth old lady.

The fourth old lady was full of love for Mrs. Jiang, and felt that she was still young, so she had not moved or been in a hurry, and refused to accept the person sent by her ancestors. This account, the ancestor naturally recorded it on Mrs. Jiang's head, but the Jiang family was also a big family at that time, and the ancestor took this into account, so he only reprimanded Mrs. Jiang and mentioned a few words about how to succeed a son.

After that, my grandfather died, and after three years of filial piety, he naturally couldn't give birth. After the filial piety period, another half a year passed, and the ancestors couldn't bear it. wanted to give it away, Mrs. Jiang cried and made a fuss, and she wanted to pass on, but the fourth old lady did not agree.

After another two years of such a fuss, the old ancestor was completely tired of Mrs. Jiang, if it weren't for the fact that she had kept her filial piety for her grandfather for three years, she would have to take the seven out of seven to Hugh and go home.

Seeing that the fourth old lady was approaching the age of establishment, Mrs. Jiang was no longer willing and had no choice, but she was unwilling to give her husband an aunt, so she decided to take one over.

At that time, the long house was rich, the third room was the patriarch's house, and the fifth room was the only seedling of the fourteenth master, leaving only the weakest four-room eighth old lady's family. Although the fourth room is weak, the days are stable, thinking that the second room is not much better than them, a few years ago, when the ancestors talked about the succession, they were unwilling, and the fourth old lady refused to meet their wishes, but they didn't want to mention it again this time.

The eighth old lady Bao went to the ancestor and cried once, saying that it was just a few years ago, the child was still young, and now he is older and will follow. I'm afraid that the child won't be able to get over it.

Mrs. Jiang also knew this truth, but between a step-son who could not be raised and a concubine born to an aunt, she chose the former. The most popular one is the sixteenth old man Shiyi.

The matter set by the ancestors, the fourth room is no matter how sad and reluctant it is, and the sixteenth master cried and sent the sixteenth master to the second room. It was recorded in the name of Mrs. Jiang.

Naturally, things won't end like this, on one side are the biological parents. On one side are the nominal parents now, and the sixteenth master is sandwiched in the middle, in a dilemma. Treat the second room well, the fourth room brother said that he was a white-eyed wolf and forgot who gave birth to him, and the fourth room was good, and the second room was worried that he was unstable and did not let him run to the fourth room.

Such a day is unbearable even for a saint. What's more, the sixteenth old man, who was only in his teens, slowly walked together with the maid who took care of him when he was young.

That maid is also a bold one, and she doesn't say anything when she has a child, and when Mrs. Jiang finds out, it has been more than five months.

Before marrying a wife, a concubine was born, whether it was a man or a woman, it was an extremely shameful thing, Mrs. Jiang was scolded by the ancestor for this, and she had no other way. Naturally, he wanted to kill the child in the girl's belly.

Where is the maid willing to be obedient, and ran to the fourth room to find shelter, Mrs. Bao was robbed, and her son was full of dissatisfaction and hatred for the old ancestor and Mrs. Jiang, that is, he knew that the husband and the concubine were not good. and refused to hand over the maid.

After a few months of trouble, the maid finally gave birth prematurely, and the hemorrhage was gone, but her daughter survived.

Mrs. Jiang was so annoyed that she didn't want to take care of this child, but what kind of reason did she throw it to the fourth room, thinking about whether she robbed someone else's son, she cried fiercely, or hugged this girl, it was Miss Nine Zhenjiao.

It just so happened that the Pei family's business in the north needed to be taken care of at that time, and Mrs. Jiang took over the errand with the fourth old lady, and the old ancestor was also impatient with Mrs. Jiang, so he simply sent them out of the house and let the second room move to the north.

The sixteenth old man followed the second room away, the old lady Bao was so sad that she was almost blind, and the eighth old lady had no way and did not want to live in the ancestral house, so he moved to the south to work hard.

A few years ago, Mrs. Jiang told the sixteenth master about a kiss, and the new daughter-in-law passed the door and gave birth to the thirteenth Zhenxun.

These old things, Mama Qin also sighed a lot when she said it: "The fourth old lady originally came to fall in love with our old lady, and then there were so many things in the second room, and the old lady was very sad." In the past few years, I have also been thinking that I will be better off if I go to the north, at least without the pressure of my ancestors, and I can keep the sixteenth master away from my biological father, and I may not be able to get along well with the family. Now that they have returned, they don't know what has happened to them. The sixteenth lady is the first time to come back to Yongzhou, and she has not yet worshiped her ancestors. ”

Zhen Xuan was also a little dumbfounded when she heard this, it was not strange what happened in the big mansion, but once she heard it, she was still surprised and embarrassed.

That old lady Jiang is indeed a tough person, and she resolutely refuses to let a concubine appear in the house, relying on the love of the fourth old lady for her, as well as the face of her mother's Jiang family, otherwise, how could the ancestor be so polite. After his son, whether his life is good or bad, he knows it like a person who drinks water and knows it.

Zhen Xuan carefully sorted out what Mama Qin said, and there were still doubts in it, so she asked, "Mama, is that maid famous?" What is the identity of the ninth sister now? ”

Mama Qin shook her head: "This is the most worrying thing. After the maid died, the fourth old lady said that she would not give her a name, and the identity of Miss Nine was unclear. She doesn't have an aunt, and the sixteenth wife, who is the mother-in-law, has not yet opened a shrine to worship her ancestors, how can she be remembered, it's really embarrassing. ”

"Then this time, when the sixteenth uncle and aunt have worshiped the ancestors, can't they also remember the ninth sister." Zhen Xuan asked.

"That's how it should be." Mama Qin saw Tao Aya pick out the filament, and looked out at the sky, it was already dark, so she said, "How to act, a few old ladies and wives will decide, Miss Mo said more in front of the second room, it is Miss Jiu, although she has given her name and ranked, in the end, she still can't go up, in case she makes her sad, in the end, it will be a sin." ”

Zhen Xuan knew all this, and sent Mama Qin out of the house before climbing into bed to rest.

Early the next morning, the six old ladies got up early, asked Ji and Zhenxuan to freshen up, and went to Qingrong Hall together, waiting for the fourth old lady's family to come back.
