If Xia Ke didn't go to the court this time, he would be disgraced and dismissed, and Mrs. Lu would admit it even if she suffered a little loss.

However, no, Xia Ke occasionally did not go to court for no reason, at most he was reprimanded.

But if the matter spreads, Xia Bin and his two sisters-in-law forced the concubine who had separated from the family to hand over his family's business...... Not only will the Xia University scholars and scholars bear notoriety, but they will even affect the precarious official position that the eldest son Enyin has obtained.

Old Madam Lu gritted her teeth with hatred, what she hated most was Xia Ke, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of criticism and beating he encountered, he dealt with it calmly, as if her mother-in-law was extremely incompetent and couldn't even handle a concubine.

Now that she changed her words and exempted the two of them from kneeling, she couldn't say anything, so she had to snort coldly, take her son, daughter-in-law and personal maid, and leave.

For a while, the main hall was empty, only Xia Ke and his wife kneeling on the ground, and Mrs. Jiang's girl who was guarding the door.

The two turned to the ancestral hall and knelt for two hours, when a little maid in Mrs. Lu's courtyard came to pass the word, asked the two to get up, and went back to the house to think.

Xia Ke did not leave, but took Mrs. Jiang with her, and followed the hurried little maid to Mrs. Lu's courtyard to thank her.

The little girl walked very uneasily, looking behind her while walking, Xia Ke scolded her twice, and she had to slow down.

The door of Mrs. Lu's courtyard was hidden, but the lights in the courtyard were all extinguished.

The little maid stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and whispered to make a final effort: "I think the old lady has rested." Otherwise, the second master and the second lady will please go back, and tomorrow morning, the slave and maid will convey the filial piety of the second master and the lady to the old woman. ”

Xia Ke shook his head and said, "Call the door, my mother has a motherly heart, so I have to kowtow to my mother in the yard and thank my mother." ”

The little girl had no choice but to knock on the door, she had already left the door for her, but with a slight push, the hidden door opened.

The two knelt down at the foot of the upper room, and Xia Ke said loudly: "Mother is kind, Mingyu can't thank you, I come to thank my mother." Mother slept peacefully, and Mingyu and Jiang retired. ”

The two kowtowed, got up and took a few steps back before turning and walking out.

From the time the two of them entered the door, until they kowtowed and spoke, and then got up and walked out, the main room and the side rooms on both sides were pitch black, and there was no sound at all.

A few steps away from the courtyard gate, Xia Ke stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the janitor?" Showing the yard to my mother, I dared to be so negligent. Someone went in and out, but no one came out to check and inquire, and the evil slave dared to snub his mother so much, he really deserved to die! ”

The words fell, and there was a brief moment of silence before the door of a room at the end of the West Wing opened.

A mother-in-law walked out, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Xia Ke again and again to beg for mercy.

Immediately afterwards, the doors of the upper room and the east chamber also opened, and Mrs. Lu's personal mother and the eldest maid embroidered brocade came out one after another.

Xiujin took two steps forward, curtsied, and said in a low voice: "The second master forgives the sin, we are all awake, but we are afraid of disturbing the old lady's sleep, so we didn't squeak." It's really not that the old lady and the second master are neglected. ”

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at the little maid who was speaking.

The little maid was about to cry. Although she didn't know what was wrong with Xia Ke coming back to thank her, Xiujin told her to come back as soon as she sent a message to the second master, and she should not delay. But not only did she not come back immediately, but she also brought the second master and the second lady with her.

Subconsciously, the little maid knew that she couldn't run away from this punishment.

Xia Ke heard Xiujin's words, waved his hand generously, and retreated with peace of mind.

His mother-in-law must have the upper hand before she can give up. If you can't leave Jiang behind, how can you swallow this breath, there must be a trick waiting for him.

Today, if he listens to the words of this third- or fourth-class little girl and leaves, tomorrow his grandmother will not admit that the punishment is over, who will he confront him? Could it be that he should be a fourth-grade official of the imperial court and break the details with a little girl?

Xiujin sent another girl to take the two of them out of the house, and they had already walked far away, vaguely, as if they heard the crisp sound of porcelain breaking.

When the two of them returned home, it was almost time for them to have children.

Xia Zixi's brothers and sisters, Yang and Gao, didn't sleep, and when they heard that their parents were back, they all came to Yonghe Courtyard with their feet in front of their feet.

Yang Shi gave a salute first and asked, "Father and mother haven't eaten yet, right?" There's food in the kitchen, and you'll be able to come up right away. ”

"Bring some up," Xia Ke responded, "Don't bother too much, it's getting late, just take some light and easy-to-restrain food." ”

Seeing that the Yang family and the Gao family turned around, they told again: "It's not early, I ordered the kitchen, you can rest, you don't have to spend it all here." ”

Xia Zixi saw that the two of them were very tired, their faces sank slightly, and asked, "Grandfather and grandmother are difficult to be father and mother?" ”

Xia Ke waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's not always like that." ”

Xia Yanqing was also distressed, and blamed herself: "It's all caused by my daughter." ”

Xia Ke smiled, "In order not to let people find trouble, aren't we just going to live?" Don't worry, it's nothing. ”

Yang and Gao quickly beckoned people and brought a simple meal, and the two of them set the meal in person and retreated with people.

Xia Ke and Mrs. Jiang each had a small bowl of japonica rice porridge, as well as a few small buns and two side dishes.

At this time, he didn't pay attention to what food and didn't say anything, Xia Ke took a sip of porridge and said to Xia Yanqing: "Your business is too eye-catching, the first one is a big business of hundreds of thousands of taels, even if the Xia clan doesn't speak, if you want to come to other families, you will find a way to intervene." ”

Xia Yanqing frowned and said, "I thought that my father's official position was big enough, even if someone had hot eyes, he didn't have the courage to think about it." ”

Xia Ke smiled, the fourth-grade official, even in the capital full of powerful people, is not small.

It's just that it depends on who you are facing and how much interest you are involved.

The Xia clan is an existence that cannot be ignored, but it has been declining over the years, and in order to maintain the status of the previous clan and not be caught, they have always been careful.

Even if something happened to him here, his father and the Xia clan would not try their best to help him get out of trouble.

Xia Zitang was anxious and asked, "Grandfather has mentioned Xiaomei's business?" ”

Xia Ke nodded: "Your grandfather and grandmother said that Yanqing is a girl, it is not good to do such a big business, and our family can't keep it, let Yanqing hand over the glaze method to the clan and give us a certain share of dividends every year." ”

"This ......" This is Ming robbery, Xia Zitang swallowed back this sentence and asked, "Father, you didn't agree, did you?" ”

"Well," Xia Ke said while eating, "I said that Yanqing's business is in cooperation with people, and I don't count it." ”

said, and looked at Xia Yanqing again, "Since someone already knows that you are firing the glaze, then find someone to participate in the shares as soon as possible, find a more powerful shareholder, although it will share part of the income, but it can save a lot of trouble." ”

Xia Yanqing is not resistant to finding someone to cooperate, especially now that he is facing this situation.

In her opinion, the outside forces are okay to say, but it is difficult for the Xia scholar's family to do it. According to today's rules, there are all parents in the world, even if someone accuses Xia Bin of being shameless, it is difficult to ensure that someone who looks at Xia Ke is unpleasant will stab him with a knife.

The question is, who do you work with?
