"Gao Hui, you don't have to mess around in front of your father!" , Zhou Bai straightened up, trying his best to maintain the calmness of his face and tone.

He wanted to drink a few more words, but was stopped by Zhou Xian's cold and serious gaze. Zhou Bai had to glare at Gao fiercely, lowered his head, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Yesterday, after Mrs. Zhou's confinement in Xiuyutang was a foregone conclusion, Zhou Bai thought about it carefully, his mother who was born in the Xie family made a big mistake, and his father Zhou Xian categorically would not hand over Zhongfeng to his eldest sister-in-law and cousin with the same surname Xie. And Zhou Song, the eldest brother who visited the Huanxiang Courtyard in the middle of the night, also made it clear that he would go up the mountain to guard his grandmother's grave, and explained to him very seriously.

In addition to Zhou Song, the sons of the Zhou family are also Zhou Bai's successors, and he thought that it was a sure thing to take over the internal and external affairs of the Zhou family, but he never expected that the Gao family would suddenly make such a move at this time.

Zhou Bai secretly regretted that it was not because after his brother left last night, when he deliberately went to Gao's room to ask her to take the housekeeping power in his hands, he said one more sentence, "If you can't be busy, let Qianniang help take care of it." It was only then that Gao's jealousy came to his head and made such a short-sighted move to dismantle the stage. It's just that at that time, he only thought that the Gao family had never had experience in running a house, and the concubine Sun Qian was still relatively thorough in handling things in Chuzhou.

"Second daughter-in-law, do you know that I intended to hand over the matter of presiding over the feed to you?" , Zhou Xian asked in a low voice, painful but not particularly surprised.

The discord between Gao and Zhou Bai has long been known to him. It's just that he once hoped that this pair could get by in a daze, and when they got older, they could barely be old companions. But this daughter-in-law, who she likes very much, is still too smart, and may have already guessed some facts that she can't endure anymore.

Gao bowed his head with tears streaming down his face. said: "The daughter-in-law is ashamed to thank her father for his love. Hui Niang is immoral and incompetent, and she does not dare to take on this great responsibility. But I asked my father to grant my daughter-in-law's request to live separately. ”

Man Yun sighed in his heart. secretly glanced at his cousin Zhou Shen who was standing beside him. The second aunt in the previous life took herself and chose to live in the nunnery. And in this life, with Zhou Shen here, Gao is obviously much braver. There is still a difference between niece and son, but this is human nature, and it is also a good thing for the second uncle.

"Hui Niang, let me ask you, if you and Zhou Jingxuan live separately and leave the Zhou family. Who do you think you should hand over your family affairs to? Zhou Xian's questioning made the adults and several older children who understood the meaning of "separation of property and separate residence" a little stunned. They obviously heard that Zhou Xian was not like other family members, not to persuade peace, but to persuade to leave.

Gao Shi paused for a moment and replied calmly: "Father decides, daughter-in-law should not be easy to put her beak. But according to the daughter-in-law's thoughts, the third brother and sister have been in charge of the ancestral house of Huocheng, and they are not allowed to go south for a while in order to find Brother Qi. can let her continue to be a director, and the four siblings can also assist. Changfang Ke'er is also close to becoming a Ding, and after three or four years, his father hired Shuyuan for him. The eldest granddaughter-in-law is in charge of the house, and the uncles and mothers are helping. ”

Within one room, several daughters-in-law of the Zhou family had mixed tastes in their hearts. In particular, Xie Shi had raised his veil to cover his face and wept softly.

Just now, Zhou Xian arranged for the husband and wife in the long room to separate. asked Xie to concentrate on serving Mrs. Zhou, and secretly trained Zhou Ke through the three-room affair. The Xie family was almost desperate, thinking that the long house would be abandoned by the Zhou family.

But he didn't want Gao's to retreat in one step, and he also gave Changfang a little bit of life.

"Hui Niang, then follow your suggestion!" , Zhou Xian nodded tiredly, waved his hand to let Zhou Ke kowtow to Gao's family, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Ke, although you are not yet the crown, Grandpa first named you 'Zicheng', I hope you can remember today's events in the future." Even if your second aunt and second uncle are separated, they are still your relatives and elders, and Brother Shen is also your sibling, I hope you can still treat him with sincerity. ”

"Zicheng remembers his grandfather's teachings!" , Zhou Ke immediately changed his grandfather's new word to call himself, and bowed his head to Gao respectfully.

"Father!" , Zhou Bai finally couldn't help but scream, and said, "What do you mean, do you want the Gao family to live separately from the child?" ”

"Xu! Why not? Zhou Xian smiled desolately, turned to Gao's and said: "Second daughter-in-law, your husband and wife are thin, and your father-in-law doesn't force it, it's a good thing to be separated at this time." It's just that the matter is serious, your father died early, and the old man still has to listen to your eldest brother's opinion. A letter from Beijing a few days ago, saying that Changde had been released to Yunzhou, and it was close to Jiangnan, and when he arrived, I would write to him. ”

Gao bowed silently and said no more.

"Father, you have done such an injustice! The child does not agree to live separately, I want to divorce my wife, divorce this jealous woman! She doesn't just rely on the fact that the Zhou family is down now, but her mother's brother has a heavy responsibility, pretending to take Qiao ...... here."

"Hui Niang, don't you explain why you want to live separately from him?" , Zhou Xian's finger pointed coldly at Zhou Bai and asked Gao.

Gao, who was in tears, shook his head, grabbed his son Zhou Shen who ran to her, and still didn't say a word.

Zhou Xian sighed and said, "There are good wives in the family, but they don't cherish themselves!" Zhou Jingxuan, your daughter-in-law saw that Brother Shen was young and didn't want to hurt him. I'll only mention one person, and you know it. ”

"Mingxia!"

The mention of the names of the dead made the atmosphere in the room stagnate.

Zhou Bai's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the deep eyes of the old father who seemed to see everything, he stayed for a while, and suddenly roared again.

"If this is the case, there is no reason for a father to dislike his child! Yes, I am the one who occupies Mingxia's body! But she was the eldest girl her mother put next to Gao's side, and she warmed the bed for the children, which was justified! Who knew she would kill herself! Why don't the women who have enjoyed the Lord's house still marry the untouchables and die............"

From the moment Zhou Bai suddenly shouted, Gao covered his son's ears tightly, not wanting him to hear a single star.

At the beginning, she let Mingxia go home, not to hide it from the rest of the Zhou family, but to hide it from Zhou Bai. Although the husband and wife are thin, she knows Zhou Bai's inferiority very well. Zhou Bai is a good woman, but it is better to use a tendon under his crotch as a habitual move to envelop the women around him, always thinking that if someone becomes his, he will be loyal to him.

At the beginning, in order to control the new Gao family, Zhou Bai pulled Gao's wedding girls to the bed one after another regardless of shame. So much so that the Gao family didn't dare to use the people around him lightly, not because he was afraid that they would leak secrets. But I was afraid that I would miss them and hurt Tianhe. Until Zhou Bai took office in Chuzhou. Gao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few years of loose life.

So Mingxia, who heard it clearly and left the Zhou Mansion to go home, hanged herself after losing her virginity. Gao felt that it was inseparable from Zhou Bai, who had spoken to her.

When her father-in-law Zhou Xian quietly asked her about Zhou Bai's recent travel records, she was more sure after carefully pondering and comparing them.

didn't want Zhou Shen to be influenced by his father in the future and become such a person, so Gao planned to live separately from Zhou Bai and take his son to live. didn't expect Zhou Bai to yell out without any face.

Zhou Xian ordered the other sons to stop Zhou Bai and gagged him. But the angry Zhou Bai was quite strong, and the scolding in the struggle was still continuous.

"My father has always been partial! The youngest Zhou Zhe, you are in pain from your heart and lungs, and Zhou Song is the elder. What's more is haode. The son who is sandwiched in the middle is not a person inside and out, and what I do is not right! Zhou Song married the daughter of Houmen, and it is my turn to practice the Old Testament and marry the orphan girl left by you in the same year of your short life. Gao is an ignorant and boring piece of dead wood, guarding such a living dead person, and finding a few women to loosen it up, it has actually become my sin......"

Du Shi stepped forward and slashed at Zhou Bai's neck with a knife in his hand. Zhou Bai's body went weak and fell into the arms of his eldest brother Zhou Song.

"Father! Jing Xuan is just a little amorous by nature......". Zhou Song interceded for Zhou Bai. As far as he heard just now, he only thought that Mingxia was already a person in Zhou Bai's house. For the rich and noble children who were surrounded by a bunch of beautiful maids as soon as they were born, Zhou Bai just made a mistake that a man would make.

"Send him back to the Synon! There, too, he had enough women. Let him walk through the courtyard behind closed doors, and check if there are any maids next to him who have been damaged by him. Whoever is willing to stay, send it to him. Unwilling. And he gave the dowry and sent it away...... The children of the Huanxiang Temple have all moved out......"

is different from the brainless eldest son who was sent to the mountain and looked forward to reading more and being reasonable. The second son Zhou Bai, who is hard enough to live and ruthless, Zhou Xian has decided to lock it up in front of him. When pigs are raised, breeding pigs are also good!

There were some things, Zhou Xian wanted to tear it more clearly, but looking at Zhou Shen, who was hiding in his mother's arms and crying like a little tear, he still softened his heart. Although Zhou Shen was covered by Gao's ears and didn't listen to the truth, everything that happened in front of him was enough for the sensitive child to know that his father had made a big mistake, a bigger mistake than his uncle.

The second uncle is not only bad for Mingxia's chastity, but also for her life. When he was in Zeting, the master gave Mingxia an autopsy, and then the grandfather also took Xuanshuang and others to check the origin of the arsenic and Mingxia's whereabouts before her death......

Man Yun lowered his head and grabbed his cousin Zhou Shen's little hand, and slowly stretched out his clenched little knuckle a little bit.

That's it! If Zhou Shen grew up and heard about his father from others, it would be better for him to know that Zhou Bai was rejected by his grandfather because he was lustful and misguided, than to know that his father had masterminded or participated in the murder.

Zhou Xian shook his head bitterly, he couldn't be selfless, and he still hid his relatives from the ridiculous second son. For the sake of Zhou Bai's flesh and blood affection, which is not uncommon, and the reputation of the Zhou family for many years.

"If the Son does not teach, the Father is guilty. If the head of the Zhou family is wrong, it should be me Zhou Xian and Zhou Shirong. The ancestors of the Zhou family emphasized the importance of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and today's turmoil also began when the old man was eager for quick success...... Xinan's Xiao Zhou family was originally a lineage of Wenchang Gong, Zhou Xian lost his father at the age of five and was raised by his widowed mother. There is always a sense of comparison with the Zhou Mansion in Xibei, and he always wants to reproduce the glory of Wenchang Gong, a very popular minister, and became the first person in the Zhou family...... Therefore, when he won the Zhongjin Shi that day, he betrayed his promise, gave up the Huang family, who had a marriage contract, and married the Xie family as his wife.

I have been an official for 40 years, and I have been in a high-ranking position, and my hands are not necessarily innocent...... But I think to myself, people must have their bottom line...... mutilating one's own flesh and bones, not allowed; Unauthorized harm to human life is not permitted; Greedy for money and lustful, not allowed to ...... Today, the reason why you do not let your grandchildren avoid handling family affairs is to let you know that if you make mistakes, you must be punished and corrected, and when you grow up, you will no longer make the same mistakes as your grandfather and your father.

Xinan Xiaozhou Mansion pro-expense ancestral hall, named 'Three Provinces'. Zhou Tan is responsible for the establishment of the project, not to reward you for not having faults, but to give you a chance to show your expertise...... From now on, the descendants of the Zhou family do not seek glory, but seek to act as people, worthy of heaven and worthy of their own hearts......"

Time flies, and the Zhou family, which was immersed in a solemn atmosphere, began to slowly start to operate according to Zhou Xian's revised family rules.

I don't know how others are, Man Yun likes the low-key but more stable Zhou family very much in this life. It seems to be buried under a thick layer of ash and earth, but there will always be a day when new shoots will be pulled, much better than watching it grow from leafy to withering in the previous life.

In mid-June, the Zhou family received a letter from Gao Gong, who had been inaugurated in Yunzhou, saying that his sister Gao Hui and Zhou Baixi had a separate residence, and they respected Zhou Xian's suggestion, but please wait for half a year for the specific matters. When Gao Gong rests during the Chinese New Year, he will return to his ancestral hometown of Qingyuan with his wife, and will visit Zhou's family for a detailed discussion.

Mentioning that his uncle and cousins were coming, Zhou Shen, who had been looking like a stuffy old man for a long time, finally showed a happy smile. Man Yun, who has been with him for a long time, can wring out a big bowl of bitter gourd juice with his little face in private.

The current Huocheng is as plain as the Zhou Mansion, because Emperor Xiaozong died in early May, and all the states and counties of the Chen Dynasty are in the state mourning. The new prince, the old King of Liang has successfully sat on the throne of the emperor, and he will change the yuan to "Taiye" next year. It's all the same as in the previous life.

However, because the second aunt is different from the previous life, the Gao family is coming. Gao Wei is also coming!

This is more than half a year earlier than in the previous life.

The future that has been disturbed, and I don't know where to go. Zhou Manyun can only concentrate on learning, looking forward to growing up soon...... (To be continued......)
