Han Shitong frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and the group entered the mansion and sat down in the main hall, and waited for the servants to serve tea, Wang asked with a smile,

"I'm afraid I'm tired all the way!"

Han Shitongdao,

"It's not exhausting!"

Jiang Shi replied on the side,

"I don't get tired of my legs by taking the car all the way, but I can't get used to the food in the inn, but I suffer a little from my stomach!"

Wang just laughed when he heard this, knowing that they were reluctant to eat at the inn, and said that they couldn't come all the way to gnaw dry food, so he turned his head and instructed his mother-in-law,

"It's not too early at this hour, let the stove start early, and we'll eat an hour earlier today!"

The mother-in-law took the order and went down, and Wang smiled at Jiang,

"I want to come to the eldest brother and sister-in-law must have suffered some hardship on the road, we have dinner early today, and after using it, we will send you to the rented yard to rest, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law will stay in Beijing for a while longer, and first raise enough spirit to walk around with relatives!"

When Jiang heard that there was a separate courtyard to live in, he immediately rejoiced, so he smiled and said,

"It's a big deal for Shiro!"

In previous years, when I came to Beijing, I just lived at home, but this time the old four families were generous and went to rent a yard outside.

Han Shitong frowned when he heard this,

"I'm afraid it's not cheap!"

He also knows the price of this Jingshi, how much does it cost to rent a yard, and the family is squeezed, this old fourth daughter-in-law is really a person who can't run a family!

Wang smiled and said,

"It didn't cost much money, just because the eldest sister was about to get married, and the empty house at home was occupied, so I had to invite the eldest brother and sister-in-law to live outside, but I was sluggish!"

Han Shitong was silent, but Jiang Shi smiled and waved his hand,

"It's all my own family, why slack ......"

The three of them have a fake politeness in this place, but Han Gui and Han Vanilla are looking around, because they are young, they entered Kyoto before their brothers and sisters followed, and these two little ones are also the first to return to the house of the fourth uncle who is an official in Beijing, so they are very curious, so they look around.

I saw that in this hall, the elm black lacquered tables and chairs were wiped clean and shiny, because it was a little cool in autumn, the thin cushion of azure embroidered peony flowers was laid on the top, there were a few tall feet of tea next to the chair, the four corners of the wall were placed with ice pattern plum bottles, some flower branches were inserted in them, the wall was dotted with a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings, there were flowers and birds but it was good-looking, and then look at the bricks paved on the ground, I don't know what method to use, but it was smooth and calm to polish, made extremely clean, and could almost see the human face when looking down, although the hall was very simple to arrange, It only looks atmospheric everywhere.

Han Gui is the sixth oldest in the family, about the same age as Han Xiu, Han Vanilla is a month older than Han Jun, Han Gui is a shy and honest child, sitting there only looking around but dare not move, Han Vanilla is more courageous, she is the youngest child in the family, her parents are inevitably pampered, and the first few big ones let her go, but this child is a little lawless!

Entering the fourth uncle's house, I saw that this house was actually not as big as the yard in my hometown, but the layout inside was different everywhere, exquisite and magnificent, it seemed that although the main house was spacious but few places were clean, Han Vanilla took advantage of the adults to speak, so she stood up and walked around, looking around, Wang smiled when she saw it,

"We're talking here, and the little ones can't sit still......"

Turning his head and commanding Han Jun,

"Second child, you and the fifth child accompany Sister Xiang and your brother around the house......"

Han Jun took Han Vanilla and Han Gui out with a smile, and Wang smiled,

"There is only a small courtyard in this small back, but it is not as spacious as all parts of Tongzhou's hometown!"

Jiang Shi smiled,

"The old house is spacious, but it can't compare to the quiet ...... of this yard."

Han Shitong stared at Jiang Shi when he heard this, and Jiang Shi hurriedly lowered his eyes,

Tongzhou's old home, Han Shifeng's old house was built a hundred years ago, and it has been expanded a lot by later generations, Han Shifeng's seven brothers in a room, except for him leaving home, the remaining six brothers live in the old house, spacious although spacious, but there is naturally a lot of friction between the brothers and sisters, where it seems that Han Shifeng's family lives alone in Beijing.

These Wang family naturally know, only she is kind words, but I didn't expect that Jiang Shi is a real person, and when he comes up, he wants to talk about family life, Han Shitong has never liked women to gossip, so naturally he doesn't like Jiang's words too much.

Jiang Shi didn't say anything, Han Shitong and his brother and daughter-in-law naturally had nothing to say, only the Wang family alone asked about the recent situation of the brothers in the family, and asked about the situation of several brothers and sisters in Han Shitong's family.

There are many brothers in the Han family, and the six brothers in Tongzhou's hometown have a lot of children, although it is a family, but Han Shifeng's family rarely goes back, and they are not very familiar with the situation of everyone.

Han Shitong and his wife thought about sending their youngest son to Beijing, looking for a job with the face of the fourth uncle, and Han Vanilla also wanted to find a family affair in Beijing.

"I'm still traveling to study, and I said that I would come back after the New Year, and I would invite my eldest brother and sister-in-law to come over for a drink!"

Jiang sighed when he heard this,

"It's better for you to be in Beijing, there are many nobles in the capital, so it's good to be a relative or find someone......"

Wang just laughed when he heard this, his face was silent, but he secretly laughed in his heart,

"There are a lot of nobles, there are a lot of nobles in the imperial city, but you have to be able to climb it, there is as simple as you said!"

Do you want to pick everyone like the vegetables you grow in your field? These nobles are not fools!

If it's really good to be a parent, why should the Wang family worry about Han Mingde's eldest son's parenting?

Now she hasn't explained Liu's place yet!

While the two were talking, someone from outside walked in quickly and called out in a loud voice,

"Big brother!"

Han Shitong heard it clearly, it was his brother's voice, he was busy getting up at the moment, Han Shifeng had already lifted his robe and walked in quickly, the brothers were naturally very affectionate when they saw each other, Han Shifeng first gave his brother a salute, and then met his sister-in-law, and then called Han Gui and Han Vanilla to come back and meet the fourth uncle.

Han Shifeng was very happy when he saw his eldest brother, and turned his head and instructed the Wang family,

"Make some good dishes today, I want to have a good meal with my eldest brother!"

Wang smiled,

"The concubine has already ordered someone to do it!"

Everyone sat down in the hall, and talked for a while, until the next person came to report that the meal was ready, and then invited Han Shi and his family to take a seat.

After eating, he invited Han Shitong's family to rent the yard, the yard was cleaned up well, Jiang liked it very much, but Han Shitong turned his head to Han Shifeng and said,

"I also know some of the prices in the capital, and I am afraid that such a yard will cost a lot, so it is better to squeeze it at home!"

Han Shifeng said with a smile,

"The eldest brother can speak well, how can we talk about the word waste between our brothers, it is important that the eldest brother lives comfortably here!"

Saying that, he instructed the mother-in-law who came to boil water in the stove, waited for Han Shi to wash up with the family, waited to move the family's things into the yard, rested for a while, and then turned back to the Han Mansion, Han Xiu and Han Qi had already returned home from school, and they saw everyone again.

After that, Han Shifeng and the two brothers moved to the study to talk, Jiang was begging Wang, so he came over to talk, and Han Xiu led the sisters at home to entertain Han Vanilla, only Han Gui was a man, and there was no son in the house to accompany him, so he had to sit in the hall and talk to his mother and sister-in-law.

In the study, Han Shitong and Han Shifeng talked about some recent situations in their hometown, and they also sighed,

"The harvest in the past two years has not been good, your second brother, third brother and the next few brothers, the whole family is pointing to the field to eat, life is not good, the front received the post, but it came to tell me, the field is busy and has no time to come, only with five taels of silver let me bring ......"

Shaking his head as he spoke,

"They are flawless there, but they can't get the extra silver in their hands, so it's not good to be embarrassed by Jingshi!"

Han Shifeng frowned when he heard this,

"No matter how difficult it is in Tongzhou's old family, it will not be difficult to become like this!"

The second Han Shiwen and the third Han Shiwu have been married for many years, and each of them has a few adult sons under their knees, if it comes to the labor that can work in the field, Han Lao's second and Han Lao's third family is not lacking, and they have not heard of a great disaster in the past two years, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will not have a hard time!

Han Shitong responded,

"You just know that there are many children in his family, and the labor is the best use, but now all of them are in the old age, only the eldest husband of the two families has married, and the brothers below are all naked, and there are more places to use silver, and it is inevitable to search for some at hand!"

As soon as this remark came out, Han Shifeng also smiled bitterly, although he was a petty official in Beijing, and his hands were fuller than his old family, but he couldn't stand the many brothers in the family, so many brothers and so many small ones, if he had to take care of them all to the end, he would have to sell his family!

It's just that the eldest brother has said this, and if he doesn't respond, he really can't wipe his face, so he should say at the moment,

"I didn't expect the second brother and third brother to have such a difficult family, and being a younger brother is naturally able to help!"

Han Shitong was relieved to hear this,

"Fourth, the brothers finally didn't give you a game in vain!"

There are seven brothers in a family, only one of them is promising, and when it was difficult, he really pulled out from between his teeth for the fourth child.

Han Shifeng's heart was full of bitterness, but he said with a smile on his face,

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't forget all the brothers in the family!"

"Hmm!"

Han Shitong nodded with satisfaction,

"Actually, I came back to Beijing this time, firstly, for the marriage of Sister Hui of the eighth family, and secondly, for the sixth brother and the seventh sister......"

Talking about his own plans at the moment, Han Shifeng thought about it and asked,

"Did the sixth child read at home?"

Han Shitong responded,

"I've been recognizing the word for two years......"
