Yan Bo rented a room to live in Nayizhuang, and the steward there saw him last night and knew his identity, but he didn't dare to be too contemptuous.

Within two days, there were two more brothers from the family, who came over with a coffin, saying that they were sending spirits, and they also rented a room here to live, and they were the people sent by Qiao Zhongda. They know each other in their hearts that they are just pretending to be strangers.

Yan Mansion.

Yan Bozhai received the news that night from the subordinates, "When the second master entered Beijing, he met a group of people, including officials. Later, the little one followed him to the yamen to inquire, and it turned out to be a family surnamed Fang, who was killed more than ten years ago and went to find the bones. Later, they went back to Qiao's manor, and not long after, the second master came out by himself and went to Yizhuang to rent a house to live, saying that it was for the old man and the old lady to keep filial piety. ”

Surname Fang? Yan Bozhai frowned and thought for a long time, and ordered, "Go and find out what the case of that family surnamed Fang is, and how it has anything to do with them."

"Yes" The man took the order to go down, and there was a henchman next to him who looked at no one left and right, and came up and whispered, "Master, on the day of the funeral, the nurse said that the lady once held the little master and invited a lady who also took the child into the inner room to change diapers. But that lady came with Second Duke Qiao, and it seems that she is also in the same group as Second Master."

What the? Yan Bozhai's face sank in vain, and he strode towards the bedroom.

Zhu was busy for so many days, and finally stopped and concentrated on treating his son. Fortunately, Zhang Qingting's earthwork is effective, and after she and her son drank it, they felt slightly sweaty, and they were a lot more comfortable. I was worried about myself in my heart, I don't know what Yan Bo had to do when he received her letter, but he saw Xiang Gong rushing in with an angry face.

"Xianggong ......" Zhu was about to step forward to say goodbye, but was pulled off the kang by Yan Bozhai, hehe sneered, "You are so good"

Zhu was frightened, "Xianggong, why did you say this?" You're hurting me, let me go."

Yan Bozhai grabbed her wrist tighter, showing traces of bruises, and asked sharply, "You still pretended to be confused for me and said what did you say to the woman you brought with Qiao Zhongda that day?" ”

"I ......" Zhu was speechless for a while, why did this matter reach his ears so quickly? However, in order to dispel her husband's suspicions, she told the truth, "I asked that lady to help persuade the second master, after all, you are brothers......"

"What brother?" Yan Bozhai's face turned blue with anger, and he rudely interrupted her words, "You heard me clearly, I don't have a brother's family, only me, I am alone and that person has been expelled from the house, he will never come back, he will never come back."

"But Xianggong" Zhu felt that what he said was wrong, and boldly said, "The second master is your only brother, if you don't recognize him, it is your father-in-law and mother-in-law who have spirits in the sky......"

"I don't want you to remind me" Yan Bozhai slammed her to the ground, and Zhu immediately fell down heavily. Suddenly, it hurt so much that the tears of the eldest lady, who had been pampered since childhood, fell.

But this delicate appearance of pear blossoms with rain did not get any pity, Yan Bozhai instead pointed at her nose and scolded angrily, "You better remember, you are my woman, you have to listen to me, don't rely on you, just want to interfere with me honestly and be your wife, but it is better than anything Since I have the ability to marry you, I can also make your life worse than death."

After he lost his temper, he was about to go out in anger, but the personal maid next to him dared to come forward to help Zhu when he saw this.

But Leng Ding Yan Bozhai stopped, stopped the girl, pinched her chin, and saw that she was born white and pure, quite a bit of posture, and sneered at the moment, "Tonight, you will wait for the master"

Zhu Shi guessed when he saw him stop the girl, and when he heard him really say such words, his heart was even more uncomfortable, and the tears were like beads with broken threads, and he couldn't stop rolling down

The young child seemed to sense his mother's heart, and had already woken up from his sleep, seeing his father so fierce, the poor little guy was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry, and when he saw his father gone, he dared to get up from the bed and whimpered to find his mother.

But the one-year-old child couldn't walk steadily, and he accidentally rolled off the bed, fell to the front of the bed and stepped on his feet, with a loud bang, and he couldn't help crying anymore

Zhu thought that Yan Bozhai could stop and come over to hug the child, but he didn't hear it, and still pulled the maid away.

Zhu couldn't help but feel that her husband was so unkind, what else did she have to think about? hugged my son and cried all night, and I couldn't say how disheartened I was.

The New Year is approaching, and people all over the country are working hard to create a scene of celebration and prosperity.

The small Zaranburg is no exception, and every family with the ability has prepared chickens, ducks, and fish, cut window flowers, and pasted couplets, and they are very busy. But there is only one family, and it is not a bad house to live in, but the huge courtyard is deserted. In previous years, the eaves were full of fish, but this would still be empty and nothing.

Zhao Wangshi glanced up at the long eaves that were specially repaired to facilitate drying things, and sighed faintly.

Since she came back from the child's house, she has been sick. I always feel that my whole body is uncomfortable, and I am listless all day long. It's not crooked, it's leaning on it, and people look at it with a lot of wrinkles and gray hair.

At first, Zhao Laoshi really thought she was sick, and asked the doctor to treat her several times, but he blocked her all back. I don't have any money in hand, so I invited a doctor to come, how can I pay for the consultation?

After a long time, Zhao Laoshi saw that his wife, who was the most sexually flirtatious, didn't do anything for a year, and gradually realized some truth in his heart. It is not unreasonable to secretly think that when Da'er leaves, it is not unreasonable to hand over the deed to him so carefully. He had made up his mind that he wouldn't hand over those things if he said anything

The soybeans, sorghum and other grains stored at home had already been dragged to Zhao Chengdong's stable and eaten, leaving only some ground flour for the old couple to chew. are all people who are used to living a hard life, as long as they have a stutter, it is a day's meal of white-flour steamed buns, Zhao Laoshi already feels very content. He didn't say much. Just do a little bit of food in your own field, and a few eggs.

At the beginning, Zhao Wang's family thought about selling the chickens in the family for a few dollars, but Zhao Laoshi was a step faster and sent Zhang Facai there.

Zhao Wang's family is very depressed, people now have a store and that money, why are they still rushing to give it to them? But in the end, this time it was her own fault, and she didn't dare to say anything, just muttered a few words.

The only thing to be thankful for is that when Zhao Chengcai split his family, he donated two pieces of land as family property, so this year's clan sacrifice was exempted from the Zhao patriarch, which did not force the Zhao Wang family to show his feet.

But it's not difficult to mess around behind closed doors for the time being, but the New Year is coming soon, and there are always some relatives and friends who have to come and walk around. Not to mention far away, even my own daughter has to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and then I have to give Ah Ci a little, right? But there is nothing at home, how can you hide it?

Alas, Zhao Wang's family is really sad these days

On this day, she was rummaging through the cabinets in the house, looking for the money that she hadn't forgotten, but after being tired for a long time, she didn't find a copper to sit down and fiddle with the empty money box, and she knew in her heart that what she was doing was just useless. She has always collected the family's money, and no one knows it better than her. Where can I forget it?

Inadvertently, his gaze crossed over the bronze mirror, and Zhao Wang's sorrowful eyes were suddenly illuminated by something. What's that sparkle on your head?

silver

Isn't the silver jewelry that Zhang Qingting gave her good to put on her head?

But just as he was about to pull it out, Zhao Wang's hand stopped. The Communist Party of China has such a set of heads, and she wears it every day, if she does, does she still want to go out to meet people?

I can't help but feel angry in my heart, you said that the pig girl can't be generous to her? How many sets do you give her? Can......

Zhao Wangshi asked himself, that girl is not bad, look at these daughters, is there anyone who can think about it, or have the ability to give her a piece of silver jewelry? There is only that daughter-in-law, and I am worried about giving her a set.

Looking at the ornament in the mirror, Zhao Wang's family inevitably remembered what happened to Xiao'er's house. Liu Fang doesn't need to say it, that Yang Xiaotao has a full golden head, but after spending her old coffin, she can go to the door to borrow ten taels of silver, and she actually listened to those bastard words that have no conscience

Zhao Wang's thinking that day their faces were angry, I will teach you all badly

As a mother's heart, she always can't accept a little flaw in her child, especially the child she particularly prefers. It's not good, and it's not good for others, not your own.

was sulking here, and suddenly heard a movement outside the door, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, are you at home?" ”

Uh, why does that sound familiar? Zhao Wang hurriedly straightened his clothes and came out to take a look.

But seeing that Zhao Laoshi had already greeted him first and opened the door, "Come on, come on, Yinbao, why are you here?" ”

In the winter, Zhang Yinbao and Zhang Yuanbao's little brothers were still so tired that their faces were red, and they took a flat pole and carried a large bamboo basket and swayed in.

"This is the top that Dad asked you to send these wind chickens made of chickens you sent last time, we kept half of them, and Dad said that they would return them to you. It is necessary to use it to treat people with it. ”

"The next is our own pickled fish, and the package over there is a package of braised vegetables made with the marinade of Sister Yulan, beef and pork everything, cut it hot and eat it. Let's try it, there are also half a sheep and a roe deer, which were sent by the second brother-in-law's family. Brother and Brother Ali are not here this year, and Dad didn't go hunting, so it's shorter than in previous years, don't dislike it."

Zhao Wang's family hid behind and heard clearly, it turned out that they were here to give gifts, but how could they be so kind?
