The gentry of Jinling looked for the Jia brothers and Shi Jin, but they didn't find anyone.

It was not until the political envoy Yamen held a banquet that these three people appeared.

The Chuzhou army did not take the usual path, and did not invite the local gentry and elders, it was a banquet for the generals in the army, and only the Jia brothers and Shi Jin participated in Jinling.

"What's going on with the Jia family? If you don't invite your two sons back, what are you waiting for? ”

"Father is son, the old patriarch can't lose his face, right?"

"The parents of the Jia family turned against each other, but the Shi family did not turn against them, and Master Shi did not show any of his words, he was not kind!"

"The business of rebellion, who is stupid to show back?"

There was a lot of discussion among the families, but they had many scruples and did not dare to block people at the door of the political envoy's yamen.

But there are always people who don't need to be scrupulous.

When the banquet was over, the three of them came out of the yamen of the political envoy, and there were already people waiting outside with lanterns.

Needless to say, Shi Jin was picked up by the Shi family.

He will lead his army into battle, and he will also inform his parents, wife, and children.

On the side of Jia Yan and Jia Yuan's brothers, two families came to pick them up, one was the Jia family, and the old housekeeper of the Jia family came; One family is the Zhen family, Jia Yan's Yue family, and the one who came is the head of the Zhen family and Cao Yan's uncle.

This old housekeeper was the eldest companion of Mrs. Jia during his lifetime, and he was also close to Jia Yan and Jia Yuan's brothers, and it took a lot of effort for Patriarch Jia to send him out.

But the brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan saw that the old housekeeper was just mediocre, and the old housekeeper was relieved of his errands, but the successor was not someone else, but his son-in-law.

This was the man who drove the brothers out of the city overnight.

If the old butler really really protected the Lord, what would he have done earlier?

The two brothers can ignore the Jia family, but they can't ignore the Zhen family.

In March, the two brothers were removed from the family, but the Zhen family made great efforts to seize the article that the Zhen family was murdered and miscarried, and bit the "black-hearted stepmother", although they did not let the Jia brothers return to the Jia family tree, but they asked for the dowry of their biological mother and wife for the two brothers.

In the past, the Zhen family "sent charcoal in the snow", and now the two brothers also want to "return the favor".

As for the Jia family, let him die.

The two brothers of the Jia family have already decided to follow Huo Wu's example and clean up the family's corrupt branches.

The old housekeeper of the Jia family burst into tears, but it was useless, so he could only stomp his feet and watch the Jia brothers leave.

……

Patriarch Jia and Mrs. Jia have been worrying about their hearts for the past two days, and they are very afraid that the two sons of evil will fall into the well.

Who would have thought that the White Shirts would come so quickly and the officers and soldiers would be so vulnerable?

The eldest son of the two of them still had the errand of the prefect's yamen officer, but because he was a local, he went home to settle down, and he escaped.

Now that the gates are closed, they can't let their son go out and avoid it.

"Dad, mother, son doesn't want to die......"

Jia San is already in the age of the crown, and he is a father, but he cries like a child.

Who is not afraid of death?

Thinking of the high-ranking prefect, the sleek accident Tongzhi, and the officials of the prefect's yamen, all of whom were slaughtered, Jia San couldn't help but shudder.

"Woo, the eldest brother and the second brother hate me to death...... They won't let me live ......"

Jia San's crying snot bubbles came out.

Mrs. Jia's face turned pale.

The reason why she can't tolerate the first two stepsons is also because of the name of this eldest son.

According to the rules, their patriarch is in the same lineage, and the eldest son should share seventy percent of the family property, and the remaining sons should share the remaining thirty percent.

At the beginning, Mrs. Jia was not angry about this, so she worked with Jia San, taking advantage of the raid on the Xue family, to trick the patriarch Jia to remove the two sons.

If Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers retaliate, they will indeed take Jia San under the knife.

Patriarch Jia said angrily: "Two little beasts dare? I'm not dead yet, how dare they do it? ”

"But didn't Dad remove them? It's not even the Jia family, so what else can't be done? ”

Teenage Jia Si said.

He is a scholar, similar in age to his eldest nephew Jia Daihua, and his uncle and nephew study together, and their relationship is not shallow, and they have long been unable to see their biological mother and brother as they do.

A good man doesn't eat a family meal, he is greedy for family property, and he has a bad reputation, which is more important?

At that time, it was not only a matter of greed for family property, but also ruined Jia Daihua's future, as well as the baby in the womb of the eldest sister-in-law.

Such a grudge can't be avenged?

Who are the saints?

Seeing that her family was embarrassed, Jia Xiaomei was dissatisfied with her parents' trembling, and said, "Even if they don't take revenge, do we have to hide for the rest of our lives?" Isn't it just a few days early for the White Shirts? Dad, let's just vote! What if there is no way? Smash a way out with silver! ”

Hearing this, Patriarch Jia couldn't help but shake his head.

There were many gentry in the city who wanted to climb the white-shirted army, but they were not allowed to enter.

Mrs. Jia was moved, looking at her daughter in the prime of her life.

Jia Xiaomei is beautiful and beautiful, but it is ill-fated, she has set the youngest son of the Zhao family in the same city, and her fiancé is studying in Taixue in the capital, and when she returned to her hometown last year to get married, she was infected with the epidemic and died on the road.

Mrs. Zhao loved her young son like her heart, hated Jia Xiaomei, and on the day of the death, she sent someone to Jia's house to pick up Jia Xiaomei to watch her son's widow.

How can the Jia family be willing?

In the end, the two families turned their faces, and the family affairs were over.

However, Jia Xiaomei also has a bad reputation, and she has never booked a new family affair.

"Master, what the little sister said is true...... When the Chuzhou army comes, they will definitely ask for money and food, and our family will give a lot of money, and they will make a name for themselves in the gentry, they are just to show good places, and they will not treat us badly! ”

Mrs. Jia immediately said: "As for the matter of San'er being a servant, what is it? I don't know how many of the children in the city are officials in the political envoy yamen, the prefect's yamen, and the county yamen, do they still have to be arrested and killed one by one? ”

Patriarch Jia touched his beard and fell into deep thought, obviously listening......

……

The best alliance is marriage.

Otherwise, no matter how much silver and grain is given, it is only subordinate, and only by marriage can the interests be closely linked.

The Jia family had this idea, and the Shi and Zhen families also thought about it.

It's okay to pay for it, but how to pay it is a big problem.

"What is the situation of the Wu family now?"

Patriarch Shi said with concern.

The family affair of the Shi and Wu families has become a chicken rib.

Although it is a good thing for Miss Shi and she can practice the marriage contract, it is not a good thing for the Shi family.

The Wu family's reputation was ruined, and they were punished by the Chuzhou army for raiding their homes.

Such an innocent reputation is easy to implicate historians.

"The second room is gone, only the two brothers and sisters of Wu Mo in the long room, and now Wu Mo is serving as a quartermaster under General Shuijin, and Miss Wu has Huo Wuye as a matchmaker, and she has Huo Wuye's cousin Niu Qing ......"

Patriarch Shi's eyes narrowed: "In this way, it's also a good thing!" ”

It's just that this in-law spared a little farther away.

"Didn't Huo Wuye have relatives in Jinling before?"

"There was a cousin and nephew who picked up the ...... in May But there are two cousins and one grandnephew in the ......."

"What about the two cousins?"

"The older ones are better, but now they are a hundred households under the second brother Jia, and the younger one really can't hold it...... It's just that the older one is a widower and has a son......"

When Patriarch Shi heard this, he was slightly disappointed and said, "Don't worry, wait and see!" ”

Huo Wu said that sentence before, "Either friend or foe", it was also passed on to the Jinling gentry through the Jia brothers and Shi Jin.

Shi Jin whispered about this, and also said that he wrote the list.

On the list, there is an in-law of the Shi family, which is Shi Jin's cousin's family.

This is the aunt and cousin of the Shi patriarch's family, the family style is greedy and cruel, mainly operating a pawnshop, and privately putting the money in print, which is more powerful than the "nine out of thirteen returns" "donkey rolling", and the family that has been forced to die by their family because of debt collection over the years is not one or two households.

Just because his family is rich, he can feed every Jinling prefect, but he has been arrogant for many years.

Acting like this is contrary to the Shi family's family style, and after the death of the Shi family's aunt and grandmother, the two families broke off contact.

Patriarch Shi was stunned when he heard this, and only after a while did he say: "The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, and there is no way to do it!" ”

……

Zhen family.

Uncle Zhen also asked about the Chuzhou Army.

It's okay to donate money and food, but you can't arrange the future of your children and grandchildren.

There is also the matter of marriage, Jia Yan's wife, sister, wife and niece are all in the boudoir, hoping that the two brothers of the Jia family will connect and marry the children of the Huo family.

Huo Wuye is now the lord of Jinling, where can he go in the future?

If you don't cling at this time, when will you cling?

Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers were very embarrassed.

"Huo Wuye's nephews and grandnephews are all married to generals...... Even the six-year-old niece and granddaughter promised the grandson of Yu Dutong, the master of Chaohu Lake......"

Uncle Zhen retreated: "What about the other generals?" No juniors? ”

He didn't dare to directly say anything like sending a daughter to Huo Wu as a concubine, he had the idea, but he knew that he couldn't do it.

If Huo Wu was really a lover of women, he would have already accepted countless concubines around him, and it would not be the turn of the Zhen family to pick up this cheap.

If Huo Wu didn't love women, blaming himself like this would only make the Zhen family a joke.

Jia Yan smiled bitterly: "Big brother, our brother was voted for Huo Wuye, and now he is also valued by Huo Wuye, so it's really not good to cross Huo Wuye and then befriend other generals." ”

Uncle Zhen thought about it and understood the difficulties of Brother Jia Yan, so he only said: "Don't worry, just look, just don't let others grab the head......"

……

Envoy Yamen, guest room.

Niu Dalang and Niu Erlang brothers have complicated expressions.

I really didn't expect Uncle Huo to be so capable, he would lay such a large territory, and now he occupies Jinling.

"Big brother...... Do you regret it? ”

Niu Erlang asked in a low voice.

The tiger and leopard brothers and Niu Qing who followed Huo Wu are not what they used to be, and their future prospects cannot be wrong.

On the contrary, it was their brother who missed the best opportunity.

Niu Dalang thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't regret it...... Fifth Uncle Huo and they have come to this day, they are all fought county by county, I have a son, I don't dare to work hard, and it is also a burden to follow Huo Wuge...... It's good now, in the future, this Jinling is Uncle Huo Wushu, Niu Qing also stands up, and there are Uncle Jia and Second Master Jia to take care of us, no one can bully us, that's enough......"

Niu Erlang nodded and said, "Then I don't regret it...... I have weak feet when I see blood, and now I can't play with a knife, and it's a mess to follow Uncle Huo...... But I don't want to follow Uncle Jia and Second Master Jia anymore, if you don't go to the army? Before, I was trying to eat a full meal, but the eldest brother told Brother Qing to help me find an errand that was not a soldier! ”

Huo Bao, Niu Qing, and the Haw Par brothers walked at the door and listened to it.

Huo Hu had no expression, but the remaining three were secretly relieved.
