What happened to Huangyan's mother and son is actually simple.

Huang Yan's father was admitted to the Jinshi early, and he became an official in the capital, and his wife and children were all with him, relatively speaking, the relationship with the old family was weak. His parents have died one after another, and all the land, houses, and so on in his hometown have been entrusted to the clansmen. And the Huang family, although it is a big family in Changping, and there have been many officials in the ancestors, but in recent decades, it has been very weak, except for Huang Yan's father, no one has been admitted to the Jinshi. In the early years, there was also an official who managed to find a vacancy and send him to a place where he just gained fame, and now he has long died of old age. And the current patriarch of the Huang family is the grandson of this old man.

When Huang Yan's father was alive, he was an official to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a Beijing official of the fourth grade, and he was also respected by everyone in the Beiping area. The clan has a lot of dependence on him, and there is harmony within the family. But when Huang Yan's father died, his mother's family had not been out for a long time, and Huang Yan was young, just an ordinary talent prisoner studying in Guozijian, the patriarch couldn't help but change his face. He relied on his grandfather to be an official and had always been famous in the countryside, so he wanted to use his identity as the patriarch to find an excuse to seize the property of Huangyan and bully the orphans and widows.

Although Huang Yan's mother's mother's Zhen family is a master of the law, the uncle who is in charge of this generation is a bit pedantic, although he is upright, he is not good at fighting with others. His mother was a gentle and docile temper, and she was grieving for her husband's death, so where could she raise the spirit to fight with the patriarch? At first, she thought that the patriarch was kind enough to help, so she gave up the management of the property in a daze. Fortunately, she was not so confused that she also presented the deed, but by the time the young Huang Yan found out that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, his family's property had completely fallen into the control of the patriarch, and none of the stewards, men and others used were servants of their mother and son. As for what was done in the accounts, it is even more unclear.

Huang Yan was only fourteen years old at the time, and was trapped at home by the patriarch in the name of being young and needing to keep filial piety, unable to meddle in the family's industrial affairs. He was also calm, endured for three years, and after his filial piety was full, he took the opportunity to study and climbed to the son of the Si family of the political envoy in Beiping, and successfully became a staff member under the command of the political envoy. Even if he is still just a mere talent, but with a backer behind him, under the power of the fox and the tiger, the patriarch no longer dares to make an eye on his family's industry, and takes the initiative to return it, and even the silver money earned in the past few years has been returned.

Xie Meijun learned some of Huangyan's deeds from Xie Pu's letter, and was amazed by this: "At a young age, he is a good means!" What's even more rare is that he was valued by the political envoys, and he was considered powerful in Beiping, but he was never dazzled by power, and he never let go of his studies. His uncle used to give up his studies for him, ran to the scene with others, and was angry with the boss and almost cut off his kinship, but now he knows that he has misunderstood his nephew and has nothing to say. ”

Xie Yinghui listened very carefully, if her previous understanding of Huang Yan was only from the description in her father's letter and the shallow impression of the two brothers, now that she knew what Huang Yan had done, she could be regarded as truly understanding his essence.

This man, although young, is really smart. No wonder his father Xie Pu would say that he was very assertive and admired him very much. Such a person is not only excellent in his studies, but also not a nerd, scheming, strategic, but able to stick to the right path, and know what kind of road he should take, which is really a rare talent!

Xie Yinghui bit her lip lightly, and she couldn't help but start questioning herself again. Is she really worthy of this man? Even if Huang Yan was willing to marry her, why did he look up to her? What if he impulsively proposes marriage to her, and in the future finds that she has all kinds of shortcomings and dislikes her?

Xie Yinghui began to suffer from gains and losses again, Xie Mulin didn't think much about it, and continued to ask Xie Meijun: "Listening to what my aunt said, this Huang Juren should be in a very difficult situation when he first came out of filial piety, right?" When he was filial piety, he could only stay at home and bury his head in studying, and there was no way to resist the patriarch, even if he was filial, after filial piety, he could only get out of trouble by clinging to the powerful? ”

Xie Meijun smiled: "You have asked the point." It was not easy for him at the time, but it wasn't entirely because of the patriarch who was not right-minded. His patriarch is an old talent for decades, and he can still use the fame of his ancestors to put on a stand in Changping, but what kind of person is he on the table when he arrives in Beiping City? Huang Ziheng only needs to move to the city with his widowed mother, and the clansmen can no longer control him. What embarrassed him the most was actually others. This starts with a family story that his father told him before his death. ”

"Relatives?!" Xie Yinghui raised her head suddenly, and asked a little nervously, "Did he talk about family affairs?!" ”

Xie Meijun smiled: "Look at what you said, others are so handsome, they are also smart and exposed since they were children, and their father's official position is not low, there are so many families in the capital, and not everyone is blind, how can they not see?" He was fourteen years old when his father died! Isn't it common for someone to come to the door to say kiss?! ”

Xie Yinghui began to pull the veil again: "That...... Then this family business is ...... now."

Song glanced at his daughter: "Don't tease the child, see what Sister Hui is in a hurry?!" Xie Meijun burst out laughing. Xie Yinghui was blushing, knowing that she had lost her temper and made a fool of herself in front of her elders. She got up and wanted to rush out, but was pulled back by Xie Mulin with a smile: "The eldest sister is shy, grandmother and aunt spare her, hurry up and let her settle down, that family business must not have been done, right?" Even if it did, it must have changed now! "Huang Yan's father has been dead for so many years, he is almost twenty years old, and he is still a single dog, doesn't this explain everything?

When Xie Yinghui heard Xie Mulin say this, she suddenly quieted down and looked at the Song family with concern.

Song couldn't help but laugh, and said softly: "It's really not done." His father was infected with the epidemic and went very suddenly, and he had said that his relatives were almost the same, and even Geng Ti was changed, and if there was such an accident, the marriage would naturally be over. ”

The problem is that the woman's father was originally the same year as Huang's father, and his official position was slightly lower by two ranks, and he has always been very enthusiastic and active about this family business, and he is in a hurry to promote the marriage. When Huang's father just died, Huang's mother Zhen fell ill with sadness, Huang Yan was young and inexperienced, and the family had no relatives and friends in the capital, so they could only rely on their father's colleagues in Dali Temple and a few friends to help with the future. The woman's father once helped and helped a lot, and once said that the marriage contract would remain the same, and he would never change his hexagram, and he would definitely take good care of his friend's wife and children. Who knew that one day, he would change his hexagram. not only asked Zhen and Huang Yan in public for his daughter's Geng post, but also allowed his family to accuse Huang Yan, threw some charges on him similar to improper conduct, seeking joy in filial piety, and entanglement with a dusty woman, poured a large basin of sewage, and walked away, leaving Huang Yan's mother and son with a confused face facing all kinds of gossip.

At that time, Huangyan was really isolated and helpless, and he had no relatives.
