Song Hu's grandfather, Song Dynasty, was a veteran of the founding of the Ming Dynasty; Song Sheng, the father of Song Hu, was a young man from Rong, successively inherited his brother and father's military positions, became a general, and successively guarded Liangzhou for more than 20 years.

Song Sheng's eldest son, who was the commander of the right guard of the government army during the time of Emperor Jianwen, died in battle while resisting the "Jingnan Army" and was disgusted by Jinshang.

At that time, everyone in the world thought that Song Sheng was going to be taken away by his son, and the Song family was going to be questioned, but now he successively married Princess Ancheng, the third princess of Queen Xu, and Princess Xianning, the fourth princess, to Song Sheng's second son Song Hu and sixth son Song Ying respectively. Song Sheng is still deeply gracious to the emperor and continues to guard Xiliang.

In the fifth year of Yongle, the first generation of Xining Marquis Song Sheng died of illness, and Song Hu inherited the title of Marquis of Xining and succeeded his father to continue to guard Liangzhou. It was not until the tenth year of Yongle that Song Hu returned to Beijing and performed filial piety as a royal family to this day.

After the founding fathers, one door and two horses. Such a person is actually calculating the Du family behind his back?

Not only Gui Chongyang was surprised, but even Gui Wu, who found out the news, also felt weird.

Even if Du Li has eighteen hectares of land, which can attract people's peeps and concerns, it should not be a behemoth like the Song family.

Whether such a person is worried about the Du family's field or calculating something else, where can they use such twists and turns?

Gui Chongyang was not happy but worried: "Fifth uncle, what is going on with the Du family?" Listening to it makes people suspense, let's live a good life, wouldn't it be wronged if it hurts the fish in the pond? ”

Gui Wu was also puzzled so far yesterday, but said: "It's not necessarily a bad thing to have this one, Du Zhong didn't show his hands out." ”

Gui Chongyang said: "It's the same reason, but the fifth uncle is more careful these days, let's rather watch from the wall than get involved." ”

No matter how thick Du Zhong's hole cards are, no matter how they fight, they can't all participate in the promotion of small people like the Gui family.

Gui Wu nodded and said: "I'm still busy preparing for the exam, I won't provoke the Du family, don't worry too much, Du Zhong has acted over the years, except for the 'killing chickens and monkeys' once when he first became Lizheng, he has been low-key and forbearant at other times, and he will not make a big fuss." ”

Gui Chongyang was originally worried that Du Li was angry because of the autumn tax, but now that he knew that he was in greater trouble, he would not stare at Gui Wu's side, so he was naturally relieved.

While the uncle and nephew were talking, they arrived at the pharmacy.

There was an old doctor sitting in the hall, so Gui Wu asked the old doctor to check Gui Chongyang's pulse, add or subtract one or two to the previous prescription, and then grabbed ten decoctions to nourish the lungs and replenish qi.

By the time the two uncles and nephews arrived at Guiwu's house, the Jiang family had already asked someone to prepare lunch. Asked someone to buy sauce elbow and smoked chicken, and fried two plates of vegetarian dishes, I heard that Gui Chongyang had an autumn cough, and Jiang ordered the kitchen to stew lily soup.

The lily happens to be the "double-headed king" lily of Liangzhou's specialty, which is very sweet.

Gui Chongyang used to eat it when he was in Nanjing, but now he eats it all at once, glanced at Gui Wu, and lowered his eyes.

Such lilies are transported thousands of miles to Tongzhou, and the price is not cheap.

His own money is all left by his biological mother's dowry and "father", where did the fifth uncle's silver come from? With Gui Wu's person, even if he has taken care of the teahouse for many years, he will not be greedy for money from there, and the origin of the silver is curious.

However, the uncle and nephew talked, and they were measured by each other, Gui Wu did not explore the life of Gui Chongyang's father and son in Nanjing before, and Gui Chongyang did not inquire about the origin of Gui Wuyinzi.

After lunch, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba left Gui Wu's house with big bags and small bags, got into the carriage hired by Gui Wu, and returned to Mujia Village.

Mei Shi saw that the two of them came back safely, so she was relieved and hurriedly asked the doctor what he said.

Gui Chongyang picked up the good ones and said a few words, and handed over the tonic.

Mei Shi heard Gui Chongyang's cough and said, "Ming'er asked your eldest brother Chun to come over to open the flue, and let's burn the fire wall early." ”

The house here in Tongzhou has to rely on the fire wall for heating in winter, and like wearing cotton clothes, the fire is lit on a day, and it is the first day of October.

"Spring covers autumn freezing" is the way to maintain health, but Mei's thinks it is better not to be too rigid and let Gui Chongyang suffer in vain.

Gui Chongyang was afraid of the cold, so naturally he had no objections.

Because many of the big bags and small bags he got back were prepared by the Jiang family for the second room, Gui Chongyang had dinner, so he took Mei Xiaoba to send things to the second room.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they heard a voice from the upper room: "Second uncle, they are all members of the Gui family, how can you let an outsider lie on your head." I know that the imperial court has exempted the autumn tax, but I still toss the big guy once, for what? We paid good grain, but what we got back was rice bran, and we never bullied people like this again! ”

Another person said: "Yes, second uncle, you can't just forget it, who knows how to bully people next time!" If it weren't for the imperial court's reduction and exemption of this year's agricultural tax, Xiao Chongyang would have been on the tax arrears list! What does the Du family want to do? This calculation is repeated by our Gui family! ”

Gui Chongyang stood under the eaves and sneered in his heart.

can call Gui's second grandfather like this, except for the people in "Donggui".

The day before yesterday, the villagers robbed the food in the village ancestral hall, and because "Donggui" lived far away and was not popular in the village, no one told them.

Not only did they not get enough food, but even half of the food they got back was rice bran.

The "Donggui" people are luxuriant, and they also need a lot of rations. Or the grain produced in this field is the icing on the cake for other people's families, and the question of whether or not you can eat enough food for "Donggui" is naturally a major event.

How is "Donggui" willing to suffer?

There are many men in the family, and there are more than a dozen people in the greeting, and they want to go to Du's house early yesterday morning to reason.

Before he arrived at the door of Du's house, he saw Du's door open and Du's carriage came out.

The people of "Donggui" just wanted to step forward to block people, but they saw more than a dozen healthy servants coming out of the "hulala" behind them, all of whom were leading horses.

As soon as everyone hesitated, those people got on their horses and roared away with the Du family's carriage.

"Donggui" everyone, look at me, I look at you, in the end, you are cowardly.

But it's food, it's not someone else's, it's its own, and it's half of it, who can be happy?

After pondering for a day, "Donggui" didn't dare to directly argue with Du Lizheng, so he remembered Gui Wu, who opened a shop in the town. The fact that the iron monk was covering Gui Wu with his face came out, and when other villagers heard about it, it naturally spread to the ears of "Donggui".

No, two clansmen came today and came to the door to find Gui's second grandfather for help.

The second room was also cooked, and Yang was washing dishes in the kitchen.

When Gui Chongyang saw it, he didn't go directly into the upper room, but went to the kitchen.

"Chongyang is coming? Sit down in the house and look at your second grandfather, the people in the east can talk, don't let them fool people! When Yang saw Gui Chongyang, he was surprised and said directly.

Look at it like that, prevent "Donggui" from being like a snake and scorpion.

Gui Chongyang handed over the package in his hand and said, "My nephew went to the town to grab medicine at noon, and went to the fifth uncle's house to eat at noon, which was brought back by the fifth aunt." ”

Yang didn't rush to pick up the package, he immediately wiped his hands, pulled Gui Chongyang, took a look at it, and said, "Have you changed into thick clothes?" Is it a cold? What did the doctor say? ”

"It's just that there are some autumn coughs, it's an old problem, and it's not in the way." Gui Chongyang said busily.

"Don't you dare to underestimate these problems and prescribe medicine? You can't drag it out, it's a big deal to drag it into tuberculosis! Yang was still worried.

"Phew! How can you curse a child like this, don't say it if you can't speak! Grandma Gui happened to come over, heard this, and hurriedly reprimanded.

Yang immediately followed with "Bah, Bah", and said: "It's me who is confused, this sentence is taken back, and it should not have been said!" ”

Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba were busy giving Gui Er Grandma a gift, Gui Er Grandma looked at Gui Chongsheng's cotton clothes and frowned: "It's only the middle of September, why did your aunt change your cotton clothes, it's still hot at noon!" ”

The old lady said in her mouth, and sighed in her heart. In the end, if you have never given birth to a child and will not take a child, you will wear cotton clothes now, which will only make the child more and more afraid of the cold, and when it comes to winter, wearing thick cotton clothes will also be cold.

Gui Chongyang said: "My grandson used to live in the south, and I was a little uncomfortable with the autumn cold in the north, so I told my aunt to add clothes. ”

When the old lady heard this, it was not good to say anything about Mei's.

Gui Chongyang talked about going to Xiji Town to get medicine again, and Gui Er's grandmother nodded, let alone dressing.

This is an old disease, can you still stop other people's children from adding clothes?

However, looking at the big bag and small bag, Grandma Gui Er still said angrily: "I really won't live, I just came back with something a few days ago, and it's only been a few days!" ”

Most of the food was brought, including bacon and sausages, as well as dim sum lotus root powder and other things, Yang sorted it out, hung it on the other hand, pretended it, and said to Gui Er's grandmother with a smile: "Where can I find such a filial daughter-in-law?" Mother, just wait to enjoy the blessings! ”

Gui Er's grandmother's mouth is nagging, but it is not without pride.

There have been ups and downs in this life, and there are many things that block my heart, but my two daughters-in-law really don't have to pick on filial piety.

Yang urged Gui Chongyang to go to the house again, and Gui Chongyang asked to take Mei Xiaoba away.

In the east room, Grandpa Gui sat on the edge of the kang, drooping his face and not speaking.

Across the kang table sat a man, in his forties, dressed in a long robe; Next to him sat a young man, in his twenties.

Both of them are the grandsons of the old lady of "Donggui", the older is the grandson of the eldest house named Gui Da, and the younger one is Gui Xuan, the youngest son of Gui Si's grandmother who came to the second room before.

Seeing that Gui Chongyang brought Mei Xiaoba in, both of them smiled.

Gui Da touched his beard and said with the clan uncle's shelf: "I heard that Chongyang's nephew is waiting for his homework in the school, even Mei Tongsheng can't help but be embarrassed, and there is a successor to the long house!" ”

Gui Chongyang didn't say a word, who knew who it was, so he filled up the big cloves of garlic.

Gui Xuan is much more clever, seeing that Gui Chongyang didn't answer, he smiled and said: "Chongyang, I am your tenth uncle, this is your uncle!" ”
