On the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night of the next day, Xie Meijun and other daughters of the Xie family participated in the ancestor worship ceremony of the Xie clan.

According to the practice of previous years, she would go to the Yang family with her husband and children at this time to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony of the Yang family, but this year she appeared in Xie Jiajiao. Her children did not rush to the county seat a year ago to participate in the Yang family's ceremony, but stayed at the foreign house with their mother. The people of the Xie clan naturally felt strange about this, and immediately the female relatives of the sect and the fourth room came to ask what was going on.

Xie Meijun just lightly said that the Yang family was very dissatisfied with her not offering the cement formula, and planned to give her no face at the ancestor worship ceremony, and also gave Yang Yiquan a concubine, saying that she only gave birth to a son, sorry for the Yang family. Even Yang Yiquan agreed with the Yang family's opinion, and she went back to her parents' house in a fit of anger.

The lady of the sect immediately became angry: "What does the Yang family mean by this?!" It's just a cement formula, it's not an exclusive secret for a long time, they really want to inquire, where can't they inquire?! Besides, if they really open their mouths, our Xie clan will not be so stingy that they will not give it away. Rubbing their nephews and daughters-in-law so secretly, they still have face?! If it weren't for Master Yang's face, we would have publicized the ugly things that their family did in the past that could not be put on the stage! Our Xie family saves face for them, and they still don't appreciate it, do they really don't want to recognize the Xie family's in-laws?! ”

The lady of the fourth room said very solemnly: "Aunt Yang already has a pair of children, Mei Jun has already fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife, how can she be forced to have more children?" After she is an official eunuch, she is a scholarly family, knowledgeable and courteous, a husband and a child, and she also has to preside over the affairs of the academy, and she is not a useless woman in the countryside, so she can only gain a foothold in her husband's family by giving birth to children. Besides, Aunt Yang is also a scholar, if you have a heart for fame, you should study hard and strive for fame; If you plan to stay in the college to teach and educate people, you should put your mind on the students. Greedy for beauty all day long, thinking about taking a concubine and having children, what can be done? With this heart, why did you make that upright gentleman in the past and come out to coax people?! ”

The ladies of the other rooms gathered in the ancestral hall to salute, and after kowtowing to their ancestors, they all gathered around to listen to what was going on. Knowing what happened to Xie Meijun, everyone was filled with indignation. Several aunts also said: "I knew that Aunt Yang was such a person, and the second master would not have married his daughter to him." has been pretending to be a good son-in-law for more than ten years, but now he thinks that his wings are stiff, so he can ignore the face of the Xie family, right? Do his daydreams and go! If he really dares to step on the Xie family's face on the ground, don't blame our Xie family for ignoring Master Yang's face! ”

Someone else comforted Xie Meijun: "Don't worry, don't be afraid." Your brother is still a high-ranking official of the third grade, and our Xie family also has a head and face in Huyin County. With us supporting you, you don't have to wronged yourself, everything is with us! ”

Someone went to Yang Chun and Yang Yuan and the brothers and sisters and said: "Good boy, my aunt knows that you are filial and have always been intimate with your mother." Your father doesn't care about your mother's face, you have to make trouble, you are caught in it and don't please you, you don't have to interfere, just live in your grandmother's house with peace of mind, and don't pay attention to what people outside say. When your father comes to the door to beg for mercy, and your mother nods, then pretend to be okay and go home with your father. But if your father refuses to bow his head, you have nothing to worry about. Our Xie family has a big business, are we afraid that we can't afford to raise two children? You don't have to suffer the anger of the Yang family anymore, wouldn't life be more comfortable?! ”

Yang Chun and Yang Yuan could only smile bitterly. However, they have been closer to their families since they were young, and they don't mind living with their mother in their parents' house. They just couldn't understand what their always loving father had done this time.

The female relatives of the clan were discussing around Xie Meijun, many people were making ideas for her, and some people planned to talk to their relatives about the Yang family's absurd behavior when they returned to their parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so that they would have a bad reputation in Huyin County, so as not to let them take the lead and slander the daughter of the Xie family.

When the men in the ancestral hall finished the ceremony and walked out of the house, they couldn't help but participate curiously when they saw that the small square was so lively. Knowing what happened, everyone also felt very angry: "The Yang family is too deceitful!" ”

In fact, it's not that no one among the men thinks that Yang Yiquan's desire to take a concubine is just a trivial matter, Xie Meijun is a little fussed, and some people themselves are just after having children, and they are beautiful and spread out. But they all felt that what Yang Yiquan and the Yang family did was too bad for the Xie family's in-laws. If she really thinks that her son has less concubines and children, it should be after Xie Meijun nodded and agreed, and then she came forward to pick someone, rather than the Yang family forcing her to accept the candidate they found.

Xie Meijun is Xie Zechuan's only daughter, and she married Yang Yiquan back then, although it was not a recruitment in name, but from the meaning of Xie Zechuan and Master Yang, it is the meaning of letting Yang Yiquan be the son-in-law of the Xie family's second room, otherwise how could the Xie family default to Yang Yiquan being the future head of Zhushan Academy? The Xie family claimed to the public that Xie Meijun was marrying instead of recruiting a son-in-law, but it was just to save Yang Yiquan's face, so that he could go further on the road to the imperial examination in the future, and he could also bring more glory to Xie Meijun.

If it weren't for this consensus, why would Xie Zechuan marry his only daughter to Yang Yiquan, who is not excellent?

If Yang Yiquan thought that he could not only get Zhushan Academy, but also be able to spoil his wife and concubine, and even let his concubine get involved in the academy industry created by the Xie family, it would really be a pipe dream! And the Yang family has gained such a big benefit, and they have to repeatedly bully the daughter of the Xie family, is it really that the Xie family has no one?! Isn't it just the family of a five-grade official? The Xie family has produced a third-grade official, and has taught many officials, but they have never flaunted their might in the countryside, what is the Yang family? !

The clansmen were angry not that Yang Yiquan wanted to take a concubine, but that he and the Yang family ignored the decency of the Xie family. After Xie Meijun proposed that the cement formula was the fuse, everyone became even more angry. At the beginning, it was obvious that the Yang family ignored the relationship between their in-laws and didn't say hello, so they wanted to calculate their Xie family's clansmen and embezzle the Xie family's industry, but now there is still a face to blame the Xie family for not taking the initiative to give the formula with both hands? The Yang family still boasts of being an official eunuch, and their eyelids are so shallow!

As a result, the entire Xie family reached a consensus to let Xie Meijun stay in Xie Jiajiao with her children with peace of mind, and they would seek justice for her, and teach the Yang family a profound enough lesson that they would not dare to despise the Xie family from now on! If the Yang family really loses face and has to work against the Xie family, then the Xie family will not mind feeding Xie Meijun's mother and son. Anyway, they were originally supported by the Xie family.

Xie Meijun is the only daughter of Erfang, and Erfang is a great contributor to the rise of the Xie clan, and her status is transcendent. Unless the Song family takes the initiative to give up, the Xie family will always be the backer of Xie Meijun's mother and son.

In this way, with the support and comfort of all the mother's family, Xie Meijun helped her mother Song and returned to her house with a pair of children and spent a Chinese New Year's Eve with peace of mind.

By the time Yang Yiquan was shocked to find out that his wife and children were really absent from this year's New Year's sacrifice to their ancestors, and they did not appear on the Yang family's territory from beginning to end, it was already too late.

Early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he went out of the city and rushed to Xie Jiajiao by boat under the contempt and ridicule of the Yang family, and when he was looking for his wife and children, he found that when the people on Xie Jiajiao saw him, their expressions had changed, no longer as kind and cordial as in the past, but more indifferent and disdainful.

And when he met Wen who was traveling with his daughter in front of the door of the second room, and found that the other party's face was full of disappointment with him, he finally had a premonition of a catastrophe.
