Is the Zhou family looking at the house?

Wen was stunned, a little puzzled: "How come?" The in-laws can't have heard it wrong, right? The Zhou family has split up, and it is time to help Ling return to his hometown when the spring flowers bloom next year, and then live separately, why do they still need to watch the house in Beiping City? ”

The big house of the Zhou family obviously wants to stay in Baoding's hometown to keep filial piety, and it is impossible to leave before the three-year filial piety period has expired, otherwise it will be poked in the backbone by relatives and friends; The second room of the Zhou family is the real estate in Beijing, whether they want to leave Baoding after their parents enter the soil, there is no reason to go back to Beiping City to live for a long time, if you want to rely on the beautiful daughter to marry the nobles, the capital is naturally a more suitable place than Beiping, and the people there don't know that the Thursday girl has a bad reputation twice before and after, which is just convenient for them to climb the high branches; The three rooms of the Zhou family originally shared the real estate of Mrs. Zhou in Beiping City, and there was no need to buy another house; As for the four rooms of the Zhou family, they share the property of Tongzhou, and there are also a few shops in the outer city......

Wen Shi blinked and asked, "Could it be that he is from the fourth room of the Zhou family?" Do they want to move to Tongzhou? Or don't want to live outside the city? ”

Mrs. Wan pouted, "Of course they are not happy!" In the high-ranking officials in Beiping City for decades, how can he be willing to be in the company of businessmen if he is used to being powerful and prosperous? I will definitely buy a new house in the inner city and continue to live a prosperous life here. If they also have the heart to let their children marry rich and noble families, they can't stay in the outer city or Tongzhou, where can they recognize how many nobles?! ”

She lowered her voice again and said, "However, although the fourth room is the most likely person to buy property in Beiping City, the second room of the Zhou family may not be willing to leave." What about them going to the capital? How much silver is the old house of the Zhou family in Beijing worth? They are not familiar with life there, so it is better to continue to stay in Beiping! Besides, on Tuesday, the two of them were just reluctant to let their daughter make an outer room for General Yuan Xiao, but they didn't necessarily want to marry their daughter to a famous family in Beiping City.

"The children of famous families who intended to intercede with the Thursday girl were not one or two! If their family really returned to Beiping, when the filial piety period passed, how many people would remember Mrs. Xu's bad things? When the time comes, you only need to ask the Thursday girl to shake in front of the person twice, are you afraid that you won't be able to fall over a few wronged people to come to the door to propose? Isn't this a hundred times better than going to the capital and starting from scratch?! ”

Wen sighed: "No matter what the people in the Zhou family think, this is their own housework. After his family splits up, who wants to live in Beiping City for a long time, even brothers are not easy to ask, let alone us outsiders? In-laws, I know that you still hate the Zhou family's neglect in the past, but it is better to settle the grievances, it was just a trivial matter that day, you look at the bleak scene of his family now, why bother with them anymore? ”

Mrs. Wan sneered: "Where am I who holds grudges for a little grudge to this day?" It's just that I can't get used to the Zhou family's actions! Zhou's family is hypocrites, and Wednesday's family is a real gentleman, there's nothing to say, but what kind of good goods are Tuesday and Thursday?! Both of them took advantage of their father's power to take over lawsuits and bully others! Their wives even ganged up to put money in prints, and I don't know how many families were ruined!

"On weekdays, people inside and outside say that I am mean and ruthless, but I only bully my own concubines and concubines. If outsiders don't provoke me, I won't harm others. I never touch the money or something! My concubine did this kind of thing, and I still have to sue in front of my mother-in-law! Just for this, the concubines can't tolerate me, so they have to squeeze me out of the capital, where is it for me to see the little thing that the concubine is not pleasing to the eye? I'm such a person who can't tolerate sand in my eyes, and I can't get used to seeing the Zhou family act! Where are they now? What is there to be bleak?! ”

Wen didn't know if what she said was true or false, thought about it, and said helplessly: "Anyway, the in-laws are a little more restrained." Mr. and Mrs. Zhou have a lot of prestige in the city of Beiping, and the second elder has just died, and it is the time for the whole city to mourn for them, and if people know that you can't get along with their children and grandchildren, it will be more and more detrimental to your reputation. If the Zhou family violates the law of the country and has its own government to govern them, you can just sit at home and watch the play, why bother to get involved? ”

Mrs. Wan raised her eyebrows, showed a friendly smile, and gently patted the back of Wen's hand: "Good in-laws, I know that you know me best!" Don't worry, I remember your kindness! Never let the Zhou family take the handle! ”

Wen looked at her blankly, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

Mrs. Wan just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and snickered: "In-laws, you are really a narrow person!" Okay, I know you don't like to cause trouble, I just haven't heard you say that today! She got up happily and said goodbye, and left the Xie family in a hurry, as if there was something important to do.

Wen sent her away in confusion, and went back to the upper room to sit for a while before she realized what was going on, and she couldn't cry or laugh at once. But she didn't say anything more in front of Mrs. Wan, anyway, Mrs. Wan had already said that she hadn't heard anything from her today!

In the next few days, Xie Pu and Wen were very busy. The former was busy going to the Yamen to deal with disaster relief and relief matters, and no one mentioned the rule that the pen should be closed after Chinese New Year's Eve - at this time, who cares about the New Year holiday? If the victims of the disaster in the outer city can be resettled before Chinese New Year's Eve, all officials can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind! As for the latter, Wen, she also had to discuss with a group of officials and relatives about setting up a tent to give porridge and medicine in the outer city. Now it is not only the political envoy Si Yamen, but also the governor's yamen, the inspection envoy Si Yamen and the Beiping Mansion Yamen, the family members of these three yamen officials are also involved, she is one of the managers, she is busy all day long, and even the middle feed of the family is handed over to the daughters to take care of.

However, the heavy snowstorm fell intermittently for three or four days, and many of the young masters and young ladies of the Xie family had weak physiques, even at the beginning, only the fourth young master Xie Hanzhi was infected with the wind cold, and gradually, the others were a little unable to bear it. Xie Xianzhi, Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingfen were infected one after another, and Xie Yingrong reported his illness early - no one knows whether it is true or false, anyway, there is a cure for wind and cold at home, and her yard is also filled with the smell of medicine every day like others. In addition, Aunt Wanqin's condition recurred, and Aunt Dajin also fell ill. The elders' courtyard is fine, only Mrs. Xie screams every day that she is uncomfortable, and everyone in the second room can still hold on. But the second room is currently a guest residence, and it is not good to meddle in family affairs, and the Song family refuses to let himself or his daughter Xie Meijun take over the delivery.

Xie Jinzhi had to take care of the family's foreign affairs for his father and brother first, Xie Huizhi gave him a hand, and went out to run errands from time to time, and the responsibility of feeding was on Xie Mulin's shoulders. Fortunately, she had several years of housekeeping experience in her hometown in Huyin, and the male and female housekeepers under her mother Wen's were very capable, so she didn't have too much headache, and she carried them all one by one, and asked the doctor to treat the family while handling housework every day.

One day, Zhao Fengnian from the outer courtyard suddenly sent a message into the inner courtyard, saying that it was the doctor who treated Wanqin in the past and told him that someone claimed to be Wanqin's relative and wanted to find her, but he didn't know if it was true or not. Zhao Fengnian couldn't make up his mind, so he had to come and ask the second girl to show him.
