The news of Wei Ming's capture of the head of Hu Cao made the Huangfu family jubilant, and Huangfu Bailing announced that today was a celebration for the family, and a big banquet was held to celebrate, and the entire family of 358 people was immersed in the joy of victory.

Although Wei Ming is a concubine, his success will make many sisters-in-law jealous, but after all, it is the victory of the Huangfu family, walking on the street, everywhere is talking about the victory of the Huangfu family over the Guan family, which is really proud, at least tonight, every child of the Huangfu family is sincerely happy for Weiming's victory, and is proud of being a member of the Huangfu family.

The moon had reached the middle of the sky, and it was extremely bright, and the feast of the Huangfu family was still going on, and on a cobblestone path in the backyard garden, the two brothers, Wei Ming and Wu Jin, were walking slowly side by side.

"Wujin, thank you so much, this time it's really thanks to you."

Wei Ming had already learned the inside story from Su Hanzhen, and his heart was full of gratitude for his brother's full help, Wu Jin smiled faintly, "Do you still need to say thank you between brothers?" ”

Although Wu Jin's tone was bland, this bland sentence made Wei Ming's nose sour, he was very lonely in his heart over the years because of the death of his parents, and at this moment he suddenly felt a kind of reliance in his heart, although there were many clansmen, but no one could replace the special family affection between siblings.

He reached out and put his arm around his brother's shoulder, and sighed sincerely, "This time, I really feel that you have grown up, and I think that your parents will also be proud of you in the spirit of heaven." ”

Wu Jin nodded, and at this time he suddenly thought of his mother in his heart, although he was not his mother in later life, his body also flowed with her blood, and he still retained a miss for her in the depths of his heart, which was left to him by the previous Wu Jin, and the thoughts of the two Wu Jin for his mother were integrated.

"Big brother, tell me about my mother's situation, I almost forgot about it."

Wu Jin only knew that his mother died not long after giving birth to him, and his father also died five years later, and he has been raised by his eldest brother, whether it is him or the previous Wu Jin, he has almost no memory of his mother, every time he thinks of this, he always thinks of another mother who also died early, which makes him sad in his heart.

Wei Ming's eyes also swelled up with a trace of longing for his mother, who died when he was ten years old, which was also the grief of his life.

He sighed and said with infinite longing: "My mother's surname is Chen, her name is Phoenix, she is the same age as my father, and I don't know her maiden family, but I remember that my father once told me that my mother is the daughter of Donghai." ”

'Chen Fenghuang, daughter of the East China Sea? ’

Wu Jin thought of something in his heart, and his heart moved, could it be that his mother was related to Boss Chen of the Phoenix Society? By the way, Wu Jin suddenly remembered another thing, he remembered the first time he went to Ryukyu Island, Boss Chen seemed to say a word, his nephew came, it turned out to be his mother is ......

Wei Ming glanced at him, "Do you know anything?" ”

Wu Jin was still a little unsure, so he shook his head, "I'm thinking, grandfather should know, who is my mother's maiden family?" ”

Wei Ming also remembered the conversation between his grandfather and him in the study of the Little Red Mansion, Wu Jin was right, his grandfather knew all this, but his grandfather would not say it, Wei Ming groaned again, thinking about whether he should tell his brother the truth that the two of them were not the East China Sea Huangfu clan, this thought turned around in his mind a few times, and finally suppressed it, now is not the time.

The brothers each had a truth in their hearts, but no one said it, they walked a few steps side by side, and Wei Ming suddenly remembered something, "Wujin, I decided to enter Beijing this autumn to take the Jinshi exam." ”

"The eldest brother is now the head of Hucao, can he still be admitted to the Jinshi?"

Wujin is a little strange, if he wants to participate in the imperial examination, then what's the point of fighting so hard to win the head of Hucao?

Wei Ming understood the doubts in his brother's heart, so he explained to him with a smile, "In the past, officials could not participate in the imperial examination, but this year it is possible, the imperial court has revised the rules to allow in-service officials to participate in the imperial examination, and I have passed the Jinshi examination, and I will continue to come back to serve as the head of Hucao for a period of time, I talked to Master Su in the afternoon, and he will ask the prince to arrange it." ”

"Hmmm! That's good, it will be more promising to be admitted to Jinshi, and when the time comes, I will accompany my eldest brother to Beijing, anyway, I have free time. ”

Hearing his brother say that he was free, Wei Ming remembered something, he stared at his brother and asked, "Wujin, I heard Master Su say that you don't want to be an official and decide to devote yourself to business, is that so?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to be an official, nor do I want to be in business, but I don't want to work for a certain person, I just want to do what I want to do, no matter what it is, big brother understand?"

"But..... Many times people will be involuntary for some kind of benefit, and they will be forced to do a lot of things that you don't want to do, Wujin, big brother hopes you can understand this. ”

"Of course I do!" Wu Jin smiled, "That's why I declined Lord Su's invitation." ”

Wei Ming saw that his brother was stubborn, and he didn't persuade him, and before he knew it, he walked back to the front yard, Wei Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Okay then!" Since you don't want to go to the county government to do things, the eldest brother doesn't force you, but I hope you can read more when you have time, and don't really be idle, you can always promise me this! ”

Wu Jin looked at the eldest brother and smiled slightly, "Big brother, please rest assured, I will not be idle, I have always hoped that the eldest brother can be an honest and honest official like Su Tingshi, so I decided to do business hard and make a lot of money, so that my sister-in-law will no longer worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and let my eldest brother have no worries." ”

．．．．．．．

Wu Jinci said that when he woke up, it was already dawn, and he slept until dawn all night, which made him extremely energetic, he jumped out of bed, washed up briefly, and walked quickly to the eldest brother's residence.

"Sister-in-law, morning!" As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw his sister-in-law Qi Xinlan coming back from shopping for vegetables, and Wu Jin said hello with a smile.

"Did the eldest brother go to the county office?"

"I rushed there before dawn, today is the official appointment, he is more anxious than anyone else!"

Qi Xinlan is in a very good mood, her husband got the position of head of Hu Cao, and their family will no longer be looked down upon, she also has face when she returns to her parents' house, and the head of Hu Cao has ten taels of silver per month, plus the family gives another forty taels of silver a month, and Yuzi suddenly became rich, how could she not be happy.

Qi Xinlan also heard her husband say that the reason why he was able to defeat the Guan family was all due to the second brother's efforts behind his back, which made her heart full of gratitude to Wujin, she stopped, looked at Wujin carefully, and suddenly found that he seemed to be thinner than when he first came back.

She began to blame herself a little in her heart, she is a sister-in-law, she should care more about her brother-in-law, although the home is very narrow and she can't live there, but at least they can eat together, instead of eating out every day, everyone has lost a lot of weight.

Ay! My sister-in-law is really unqualified! No wonder her husband said that her mind was on the child and she didn't care about her younger brother, at this moment, Qi Xinlan was full of regret for Wujin in her heart.

"Wu Jin, come and eat at noon! Look at how skinny you are, hey! Sister-in-law is going to cook you some good dishes today to make up for it. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I'll come back in the evening!"

Wu Jin still has to go to the pawnshop in the afternoon, after talking to the eldest brother last night, he began to be impatient to do something, he has several ideas in his heart, and he is anxious to discuss with the fifth uncle, but I heard that the eldest brother is moving today, and he must come to help.

He glanced at the yard, and there seemed to be no sign of moving, so he couldn't help scratching his head, "Aren't you going to move today?" I'm here to help. ”

"Your eldest brother has to sort out the books at night, and he will move tomorrow, anyway, he is not in a hurry for a day or two, by the way, you can move in and live together! I've looked at the new yard, and there are several spare rooms! Your eldest brother also means the same, it is better for the family to live together. ”

"Sister-in-law, let's talk about this!"

Wu Jin has decided to move out of the Huangfu Mansion, which is not very free, and he has to close the gate at night, which he doesn't like very much.

At this moment, there was a quarrel between the two little ones in the yard, "Give it to me, this is my book, I want to read it and buy it myself!" "This is Duoduo's voice, fierce, like a brother snatching her baby.
