Chapter 9 There are evil relatives in the family

Gao's family is in the southeast of Xiahe Village, it is the middle of the moon at the moment, the bright moonlight is like silver, this night road, even if there is no lighting, you can walk back and forth with the moonlight rising.

The Gao family belongs to a medium-sized family in Xiahe Village, and they are not rich or hungry.

Several mud-brick houses are in stark contrast to Gao Sheng's home, with a small courtyard fenced in a clean and tidy yard, and a thatched-roof pergola is built in the courtyard, under which a long table and several bamboo benches are placed.

At this moment, the light of the oil lamp shot out of the Gao family's living room, revealing the figures of several people in the hall through the main door, swaying with the swaying of the oil lamp.

There are kettles and bowls on the long table in the main hall, and the third generation of the Gao family has already rested, and at this moment there are several elders of the Gao family sitting in the main hall, sitting around the long side, as if they are talking about something important.

The old man of the Gao family, who is over half a hundred years old, is shouyi, with a serious face, and sits in the middle of the long table.

The old woman who sat next to him and was of the same grade as Old Man Gao was Gao Sheng's mother, Zhou.

Zhou's face was melancholy, and his expression was gloomy.

A few times later, Gao Ping, the eldest of the Gao family, was a scholar, holding a scroll in his hand and not squinting, and only reading the books of sages and sages, as if the things that the Gao family was discussing had nothing to do with him.

Sitting next to Gao Ping was Gao Ping's mother-in-law Liu, with a face full of meat, and she was not an easy person at first glance, with a look of anger.

Gao Cheng, the second eldest member of the Gao family, and his mother-in-law Yang sat opposite his brother and sister-in-law, and they also had a look of injustice.

Gao Sheng pushed open the door of the courtyard and entered the courtyard, and bowed to the relatives in the living room four times in a row.

"Gao Sheng has seen Aya, A-Niang, brother, second brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, ......"

In Datang, whether it is official or non-governmental, relatives and friends have a complete set of etiquette when they meet, otherwise it is disrespectful.

In terms of etiquette, ascension will never attract people's handles.

Seeing Gao Sheng, everyone in the hall was stunned, but Zhou's eyes showed tenderness, and when he looked at his son, his expression almost didn't shed tears.

Gao Sheng appeared outside the door, and the gloomy faces of the Liu family and the Yang family instantly became happy.

Gao Ping only looked away from the scroll, glanced at Gao Sheng, and then returned his gaze to the scroll.

Gao Cheng looked disdainful, and even snorted.

The expressions of the family are different, which makes Gao Sheng's heart mixed.

"Sanlang, just in time, I'm talking about your family, come and sit." The old man saw Gao Sheng, his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly.

This is the first time in four years that the old man took the initiative to talk to Gao Sheng, which made Gao Sheng even a little moved, and sat down after saluting respectfully.

Since the separation, Gao Sheng is no longer a member of this family.

Why did the predecessor split up and start a new family, Gao Sheng, who inherited the memory of the predecessor, knew very well that the eldest brother Gao Ping, the second brother Gao Cheng, the eldest sister-in-law Liu, and the second sister-in-law Yang were all "indispensable".

The Liu family gave birth to two male heirs for the Gao family, and the Yang family also gave birth to a male child.

And Gao Sheng's wife Chen not only gave birth to a daughter but also died in childbirth, and only the sons of Liu and Yang could renew the incense for the Gao family.

So in the Gao family, although the old man Gao is in charge, many times, the Liu family and the Yang family, two outsiders of the Gao family, can take a lot of ideas for the Gao family on behalf of the old man, so he is arrogant.

This is the era when feudalism wants to be poisonous, and unfilial piety is great.

Without a queen, it is going to be the backbone of someone, and the three heirs make the status of the Liu family and the Yang family naturally higher than that of the Gao family, and even the mother-in-law of the Zhou family does not dare to take the posture of a mother-in-law in front of the two.

In addition, Liu's mother's family is in Shanghe Village, and there are several brothers in the family, all of whom are like wolves and tigers.

The Yang family is even more awesome, the distant cousin is a small official in Chang'an City, and he usually has an official authority at home, and his cousin is long and his cousin is short, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The old man of the Gao family is tall and strong, since he served in the military and participated in the government army, he has not heard from him for two years, but he has saved a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the regulations of the equalization system, the cultivated land would be returned to the imperial court after the death of the common people, and Gao Sheng believed that the Liu family and the Yang family would not care about the life or death of the old man and the old lady at all, and would have robbed the head for the eighty acres of land.

After Gao Sheng sat down, the old man said to him with a serious face: "San Lang, your sister-in-law has found a family affair for Yaya......"

Gao Sheng was dumbfounded, he was shocked by the words of the old man Gao Shouyi, he didn't look for him for three years, looking for him was to let him turn his daughter into someone else's child daughter-in-law?

"Aye, how can a girl be a child bride when she is only four years old? You don't have to tell your son about this, he won't agree! ”

Gao Sheng reacted and hurriedly snatched the old man's words.

What kind of plane is it, is there such a pit for the fathers and grandfathers of their children and grandchildren?

In this era, child daughter-in-law seems to be common, and poor families can't afford to raise them and can only sell their sons and daughters, but this kind of thing must not happen to his daughter Gao Yue.

"Your sister-in-law has already received the bride price from the Zhang Butcher's family in Shanghe Village, and there is no room for reversal in this matter!" The old man's eyes widened, and he put the bowl in his hand on the long table.

Gao Sheng's reaction was fierce to his surprise, and the old man was a little suspicious that it was yesterday's river water that drowned this most uncompetitive son?

In fact, the old man in his heart also felt that this marriage was too unauthentic.

Even if he doesn't like these three sons and granddaughters, but the granddaughter of the Gao family is a child daughter-in-law, and when he talks about it, outsiders will poke at the backbone of him, the head of the family, and say that he used his blood to exchange for money.

If it weren't for the cost of studying for his three grandchildren and his eldest son's exams, how could he have agreed to such a ridiculous offer?

"San Lang, Aya is also for your good, look at you, you can't support yourself, and you still raise this child, isn't this a crime for Yaya to follow you, you can also follow Yaya to a good family earlier, you can also follow the stains, right?"

At this time, Liu took the old man's words, and rose up with a smile on his face.

"San Lang, the second sister-in-law knows that you love Yaya, so there are thousands of choices in this family business, the second sister-in-law packs the ticket, and the girl is definitely fragrant and spicy when she marries."

As soon as Gao Sheng heard this, he understood that the initiators must be his two sisters-in-law.

Seeing that Gao Sheng didn't squeak, Liu was still shaken in his heart, and said: "Yaya's in-laws, that is one of the best gateways in Shanghe Village, and Yaya will not lose money when she marries." ”

In the matter of Gao Yue being a child daughter-in-law, the Liu family, who was already at odds, and the Yang family were surprisingly consistent.

"Who's home?" Gao Sheng asked coldly, but he almost couldn't hold back, and fanned over with a big-eared scraper on the spot.

"Butcher Zhang of Shanghe Village." Liu said.

"Is it the meaty butcher Zhang in Shanghe Village?" Gao Sheng felt that his chest was about to explode, and his blood was boiling.

"San Lang loves to laugh, Yaya is naturally the only son who married Butcher Zhang, not Butcher Zhang." Yang snorted and said with a smile.

"Butcher Zhang's family is terrible, not to mention that the family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, Butcher Zhang himself is still operating a slaughtering livestock business in the capital, and his family is well-off. Butcher Zhang said that if Saburo promised this doll family, he would offer 20 stone millet as a bride price. ”

Liu's face was full of brilliance, and he took Yang's words and said with foaming mouth......
