The same thing Jun Tao has heard many times. She knew that this was the old lady who was enveloping her and telling her to do things steadily, and at the same time she kept her mouth shut, and didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.

In fact, she knew in her heart that the old lady was also guarding against her when she reused her. Because she knew so many things that the old lady would not let her leave her half a step until she died.

She couldn't help it, she followed the old lady deeper and deeper, and now she couldn't pull out even if she wanted to. But she also has to leave a way back for herself, firstly, to prevent the old lady from killing people one day, and secondly, to prevent the old lady from swallowing her breath a few years later, and the big house is chasing after her. That fourth lady is really scary to think about.

Jun Tao nodded vigorously, cooperating with the old lady's words, with a grateful face, "Don't worry, old lady, Jun Tao has no other thoughts, I want to accompany you all the time." As for the dowry or not, it doesn't matter, the slave doesn't care about those ones, I just hope that I can promise a good family in the future, and I hope that the old lady can help look at each other and make a plan for the future of the slave and maid. ”

The old lady is very satisfied, it's good to have a picture, and if you have a picture, you can listen to her, so that the maid can be controlled.

"What time is it? Did the four girls come back? She asked Jun Tao, "Then the Lord of Guiyue County will not come back after leaving, right?" ”

Jun Tao went outside to take a look, and when she came back, she told the old lady: "It's almost noon, and the fourth lady should come back too." As for the county lord of Guiyue, the old lady can rest assured, she is a native of Guiyue, and it is impossible for her to travel between the two countries casually. Don't worry about the old lady of the restaurant anymore, the lord of Guiyue seems to be angry with the fourth lady, and now that the title deed has been returned, there will be no more trouble. ”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good not to make trouble, it's good not to make trouble." When the reconstruction of the inner city is completed, the 100-day funeral of our Yipin General's Mansion should also pass, and then we should rectify it well, hold a banquet for the head of the family, and establish the rules. The second child has been wronged for so many years, and it's time to raise his eyebrows. It is necessary to let people know who is in charge of the current Yipin General's Mansion. ”

While the two were talking, the voice of the maid came from outside the door: "Old lady, someone from the house has visited, saying that he is from Xiushan County." ”

"Huh?" The old lady was stunned, "Xiushan County?" Aren't those two coming back again? "This thing can make her angry enough, this head is scolding at the air, and the people over there will send it to the door, isn't this looking for a fight!

Seeing that the old lady's anger came up again, she was about to get up and go to the two to settle the account, Jun Tao hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, old lady, it's not necessarily that they are back, the slave and maid go out to have a look, and the old lady don't show up first." ”

said that he was not allowed to show up, but the process of waiting for the news was really more painful than going to see it in person. Speaking of which, Jun Tao didn't go for long, but after a while, the old lady thought of many things. Come to think of it, if those two people really came back, it would still be the best outcome.

Anyway, the nephew and niece and daughter-in-law don't have any skills, and they still have to rely on her to eat in Lin'an City, so it's easier for her to handle it.

But what if it wasn't those two people?

She stood up and walked around the room with her uncomfortable old waist on her shoulder, and the more she walked, the more troublesome she became.

If it weren't for those two people, then whoever came, the only purpose was to ask her for money.

It's been so many years, and the people in Xiushan's hometown don't farm one by one, and no juniors are willing to take the fame test, so they know that they reach out to her to get silver flowers. As for her, at first, in order to raise her face, in order to make her old family feel that she also has a status in Beijing, she also said it at home, and the silver was sent back one by one.

Later, she didn't want to give it away, so she began to ask how the people in her hometown lived, and asked them why they didn't want to make progress, neither farming nor the younger generations to gain fame. As a result, how did people reply to her? People said, why don't you take the test for fame, don't you count it in your heart? It's not because your Ye family has a heavy army and is powerful, and the court has always been afraid of it.

Our Jiang family and the Ye family are in-laws, so naturally they ate melons and brands, and the children and grandchildren did not want to take the test for fame, but it was useless to take the test, and the imperial court would not give the Jiang family the opportunity to be an official at all, so we could only nest in such a small place as Xiushan County for the rest of our lives. It's all you who caused it, so it's up to you to take responsibility for the consequences and take responsibility for our lives.

She has been in charge for decades as soon as she is in charge, and now that she has reached this age, the Jiang family still refuses to let her go!

Jun Tao finally came back, and the old lady could see at a glance that her face was solemn, and she couldn't help but sigh, "You're here to ask for silver again, right?" ”

Jun Tao came to her and whispered, "The old man and his wife came here in person." ”

"Huh?" The old lady was stunned, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"The old man and the lady are your own brother and sister-in-law."

The Jiang family in Xiushan County is now her younger brother in charge, and her brother-in-law is in charge of the inner house. Although there have always been people who have come to her to play the autumn breeze over the years, her brother and sister-in-law have never come to the door in person. After all, he is the head of the family, and he can't afford to lose this face.

But why did it come all of a sudden?

"What did you say you came for?" She asked Jun Tao, "Apart from the two of them, who else came with you?" ”

Jun Tao shook her head, "There are no important people, I just brought a little maid and a maidservant." As for what happened, they didn't tell the slave maid, they only said that they had to meet the old lady in person, and there was something important. Old lady, do you think you are going to Xuming Hall, or are you calling people here? ”

The old lady thought for a while, "Call here!" In addition, I have to let the next person clean up the guest room, and if you come from afar, you have to stay for a few days before leaving. It just so happened that the second child's main banquet should also be held, so let them stay and watch the ceremony before leaving. ”

Jun Tao went out to call someone, and soon brought a couple into the door. The man was in his fifties, and like the old lady, he was very thin and had some dark skin. The woman was white and pure, dressed generously and decently, and her body was rich and graceful, and she looked even better than the old lady's temperament.

The old lady was a little unhappy, the women in the county were whiter than her, wouldn't this be compared to her?

But no matter how unhappy she is, she can't show it on the bright side, after all, these are all relatives of her mother's family, or her brother-in-law, and she will still be more or less biased in her heart.

"Sister!" As soon as the two entered the door, they began to wipe their tears, and the women wiped the men, and they all wiped the old lady.

She got up and stepped forward to greet her in person, pulled her over one by one, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" What are you crying about? Is there something going on at home? Jiang Shuo, you are the head of the family, no matter what happens, you shouldn't leave Xiushan County and walk so far to the capital! She asked, but when she saw her brother crying so sadly, she had no choice but to press someone into a chair and sit down, and then asked her brother-in-law Tang, "You say, what happened?" ”

Tang's mood was better, although he also wiped his tears, but fortunately, he could stop it. It's just that there was some panic and fear in his eyes, which was captured by the old lady at once.

So the old lady also panicked, "Is there something wrong with my hometown?" Who is gone? When she asked this, she thought of the nephew and his wife who were sent away yesterday, they were not the children of her own brother's family, but the son and daughter-in-law of her brother-in-law, so she didn't treat them much either. The reason why they are in charge of the restaurant is also because they can't draw other manpower for a while.

So she wasn't worried about those two people, but she was a little worried about her brother's children.

"Is there something wrong with Jiang Hang or is there something wrong with Brother Yu?" The old lady's eyes widened.

That's the root of the Jiang family! Jiang Hang is the only son of her younger brother Jiang Shuo, and he is twenty-nine years old. Brother Yu is also Jiang Hang's only flesh and blood at present, and he is just ten years old. Looking at the looks of these two people, it shouldn't be that the child had an accident, right?

Hearing the old lady ask like this, Tang finally reacted, and quickly shook his head, "No, no, it's not Jiang Hang, it's not Brother Yu." Sister, the reason why I went to Beijing with my lord this time is because something happened to the family, and we can't be the master. Sister, the ancestral grave has collapsed! ”

"What?" The old lady almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears and that the ancestral tomb had collapsed? "How could the ancestral tomb collapse?"

Jiang Shuo finally stopped crying and began to tell the story of the collapse of the ancestral tomb. Of course, these stories were also told to him by the people who guarded the tomb.

It is said that a year ago, suddenly one day I heard a bang, and the largest mausoleum in the entire Xiushan County, the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family, collapsed inexplicably. And it collapsed more and more, and the rumbling sound was one after another, and in a short time the entire mausoleum was collapsed, and the coffin was collapsed.

Jiang Shuo also said: "It should have been here a long time ago, but we still have to walk a few days from Xiushan to Lin'an. I can't come to you for the New Year to say that the ancestral tomb has collapsed, and it is taboo! So this matter was pressed down, and I didn't go this way until the sixth day of the new year, but I didn't expect to catch up with Lin'an Dilong again. Sister, this is a big deal, no one says that we are not at ease, so we have to come here in person. My sister will analyze and analyze it, and then get an idea, what should I do about this? Are we going to repair the grave or move the grave, do we want to do another ritual or something......"

The Yipin General's Mansion received the news that the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family had collapsed, and at the same time, the Empress Dowager Li in the palace also received a news, which was that the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites of Zhengsanpin, He Jin, and the ancestral tomb of their He family also collapsed a year ago.

The reason why this news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Li was because He Jin and the Empress Dowager Li were fellow villagers, and their hometowns were in Li County, and the ancestral tomb of the Li family had only collapsed for a long time, so the people in the hometown naturally reported it as a major event.

Empress Dowager Li's first reaction after hearing the news was not to analyze whether there was a problem with the land in Li County, but to wonder if the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites had provoked Ye Wenyan......
