Chapter 289: Shaken
Old man Xu's words reached the old lady's heart, she was happy, and she also looked at her son with a blank eye, she dreamed of going to live at the foot of the Son of Heaven for a few years.
Xu Qingyan was in a dilemma. If the old father is as sensible as the old mother, he will not take them into Beijing, but also want to take them to the provincial capital to enjoy happiness. But Dad's performance just now was really disappointing to him, and his previous thoughts about letting them live with the second room were shaken. can see the mother who understands righteousness, her hair is mostly gray, and she is very embarrassed......
He said vaguely, "I just worked as a guard, and I was busy, so I didn't want to settle down in the capital right away." ”
The old man didn't give up, and asked, "Your daughter-in-law and children don't go to the capital with you?" ”
Xu Qingyan shook his head and said, "They don't go either." ”
The old couple was very disappointed, their wives and children did not follow, and they did not say that they must follow. Thinking about it, I will persuade the second son in the future, he is an official, and he should let his parents, wife and children follow him to enjoy happiness......
After that, Old Man Xu called everyone in and informed Xu Qingyan that he had a woman outside and gave birth to a daughter.
Everyone was in another room, and the conversation between the few of them occasionally made a loud noise, and a sentence or two would come out, and they already knew that Xu Qingyan had a woman and a daughter outside, as if the woman was dead, and Old Man Xu also scolded the Qin family, as well as glory, ancestral hall, silver or something.
Everyone else was in a fog and couldn't figure out what was going on, only Xu Lanzhou guessed the roughly. The master is really as my sister thought, it shouldn't be, but fortunately, with the support of my father and milk, my mother was not wronged. For the first time, he also had dissatisfaction with Old Man Xu's grandfather.
Others didn't dare to ask if they wanted to, only Xu Daya was bold, and couldn't help asking, "Master, what's the matter with that woman of the second uncle, is it still related to glory?" ”
Old man Xu was angry when he mentioned this, but looking at Er'er and the old lady with serious faces, they still didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Mrs. Xu scolded, "You are a married daughter, and you don't care about your parents' affairs, let alone your elders." He looked around at the crowd and said, "If I know who goes outside to chew on the root of his tongue, he won't get a penny for my second son." The gift that the second son brought back today, except for the food, the rest are kept, and the wife will share it later. ”
When everyone saw the flowers on a kang, they didn't know which one the old lady was singing, and they didn't dare to ask for a share immediately.
Gu was also so angry that he counted a few words from his daughter.
Xu Qingyan said with a calm face, "There are some things that are not suitable to be said now, so don't ask too much, let alone go out and talk too much." I, Xu Qingyan, have developed, and I will never forget your relatives. But if you don't listen to me, I won't be polite. ”
Xu Qingyan is rarely at home, he is a magical existence, except for the old couple, everyone is afraid of him, including his brother Xu Qingming. After listening to his words, and seeing his dark face, he nodded his head in agreement.
The few people who thought they were smart thought of the words coming out of the house, and felt that they must have something to do with the Qin family and the woman who died.
After dinner, Xu Qingyan took Xu Lanzhou back to the county seat. Xu Zhiniang's family and Xu Daya's family didn't leave, and they want to go home tomorrow after eating the flowing water banquet.
On the way, Xu Lanzhou said to Xu Qingyan how the old man had asked him to guard against the Qin family and Xu Lanyin.
Xu Qingyan said with a heavy face, "Dad knows what to do." Don't tell your mother when you go back, she will be sad when she hears it. ”
Xu Lanzhou didn't dare to tell the Qin family when he went back, but still whispered to Xu Lanyin what he heard.
Xu Lanyin also guessed the probability, but she didn't expect Old Man Xu to be so shameless. slandered and suppressed the Qin family, vainly wanted to use the Zhou family's tablet to paste gold to the Xu family, and wanted to deduct the silver of the Zhou family's mother and daughter to his grandson......
It's okay to let Xu Qingyan know his father's virtue, if he gets that old man to the second room, he will really make the Qin family angry.
Xu Qingyan is doing quite well today, and there is that old lady, who is less sensible, and she must be filial to her in the future.
Seeing the Qin family, Xu Qingyan felt even more sorry for her. It's not easy for orphans and widows to be widows, and my father often has to keep her mouth shut.
Qin Shi pointed to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl and said, "This girl was only bought today, called Du Juan, and she will serve Xiao Niu Niu in the future." As for the room, we are about to move, so we will let her live with In'er for the time being, and we can also cultivate gratitude between them......"
Xu Qingyan said with a smile, "Little Niuniu's business, Sister Yan looks at the arrangement." ”
Xu Lanyue came over and pulled Xu Qingyan's clothes and said, "Today, my aunt took my eldest sister to go shopping with me and Huazi, and also went to our shop, where the dim sum sold was delicious." ”
Xu Qingyan's smile was even worse.
The next day, Xu Qingyan took his wife, children, and the holy decree to Xiaozao Village.
Several clansmen went to the door of Xu's house early to wait. As soon as Xu Qingyan's family arrived, Xu Qingyan held the holy decree in both hands, and several clan elders and Xu Lizheng and a few men from the old man's family knelt down and kowtowed to the holy decree first, and followed Xu Qingyan to the ancestral hall together. Many villagers stood on both sides of the path, not only from Xiaozao Village, but also from other villages who wanted to see the holy decree. As soon as Xu Qingyan, who was holding the holy decree, passed, they knelt down and kowtowed, and Xu Qingyan dared to stand up in the past.
Xu Lanyin was also shocked by this spectacular scene. Such a grand pomp and circumstance was not organized, but spontaneous, and these people were in awe of the imperial power from the bottom of their hearts.
And Xu Yindou, Xu Ershi, Xu Lanzhou and several other descendants, under the leadership of the fifth grandfather, went to Xu Qingyan's mound in Houshanping. It seems that this kind of thing should be done in accordance with the hour.
The courtyard was quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Xu Lanyue.
Xu Lanyue's life story has spread in the village, and it is said that Xu Qingyan was born to a woman he was looking for when he was on a mission.
People are thinking that Xu Qingyan's vision is high, and if he looks at the Qin family, he knows that it should be better to find a concubine, so the girl he gave birth to must also be good-looking. But when she saw Xu Lanyue, she was frightened by the long scar on her face. It's scary, where is it pretty? Moreover, even if there is no scar on his face, his appearance is far worse than that of Xu Lanyin's sister and brother.
Xu Lanyue was used to seeing strange eyes, but she was still frightened by so many people and her undodging gaze. Her lips were pursed tightly, and Rashlane's palms were sweaty.
Xu Lanyin pinched her little hand and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid." "Take the little girl into the house and kowtow to Mrs. Xu.
The old lady's eyes were soft, and she greeted the little girl to praise a few words, and gave her a Hunan bamboo Su embroidered fan as a meeting gift. This was bought by Xu Lanyin for the old lady in the provincial capital, and the old lady was never willing to use it.
After introducing them to other relatives, the Gu family led them to an ear room alone. As soon as the door closed, the noise and right and wrong outside were closed.
