According to the rule of the countrymen, newborns are not included in the family tree immediately after birth, but they are generally written into the family tree before the year before the year to correct their identity.

Song Jiwu was born in the border pass, and has been living in the capital since then, and now he is four years younger, but he is only about to enter the family tree, for the matter of this eldest grandson, Song Sanshan takes it very seriously, so he ordered people to prepare all the items needed for etiquette as early as possible, and held Song Xingchen's righteous son Song Jifu early in the morning, and took Song Jiwu's hand to wait outside the ancestral hall.

Song Lu and other female dependents are not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, so they are busy at home for the New Year, so as not to freeze outside in the cold winter, especially Hang Kite has to take her little daughter Guoguo, and she can't stay outside for a long time.

"Madam, young lady, there is a guest outside who claims to be Song Ershan who asks to see you." The little guy who came with him reported outside the door.

After Mrs. Zhang had been with Song Lu's side for many years, she knew a little about the Song family's old mansion, and when she heard the words, she reprimanded: "It's inconvenient for Mrs. and Mrs. Young to see foreign men, so let's send them away." ”

"Let him in, they are all from the township, and there are not so many evasions in the countryside." Song Lu thought about it for a while, and still gave Song Ershan a chance to meet, but said to Hang Yuan: "This Song Ershan is your father-in-law's second brother in terms of blood, but he has not had any contact with him over the years. ”

Hang Yuan nodded, she knew that her in-law's family was not easy before, and she didn't have a good impression of this second uncle who had never met.

Mrs. Zhang prepared hot tea a little farther away, and the melons and fruits were also placed properly, and when she saw Song Ershan and his wife coming into the door, she led them to sit on the chairs next to the stove, without losing the hospitality, and the Song Lu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the province were not comfortable.

"His third aunt, I haven't seen you in the past few years, but you seem to be several years younger, unlike us who are digging in the land, and we don't dare to look in the mirror all day long." Song Jin suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was close.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law." Song Lu's alienated and polite smile greeted him, and without giving the two of them a chance to continue to get close, he turned his head to Hang Yuan and said, "Kite, these two are the second uncle and second aunt of your third grandfather's family, and they also came to drink the wedding wine when you got married." ”

"My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen my second uncle and second aunt." Hang Kite bowed his head and said softly: "There were too many guests that day, and my nephew and daughter-in-law were covered with hijabs, but I haven't seen the second uncle and second aunt." ”

Song Ershan and Song Jin smiled rather awkwardly, understanding that Song Lu didn't want to recognize them.

But thinking of her intentions, Song Ershan still pushed Song Jin's family, telling her not to just worry about eating, but to do business.

"Her third aunt, after so many years, do you still remember the past? That's all the old woman's partiality, the big room can't stand you, and it has nothing to do with our second room, and we are also aggrieved. As the saying goes, fathers and sons go into battle, brothers in war, no matter what you say, our two rooms are brothers, this relationship can't be broken, right? The pastry in Song Jin's mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, and he opened his mouth and sprayed slag.

Song Lushi took a sip of tea, and did not agree, Mrs. Zhang understood what her master meant when she saw this, and said with a smile: "The third lady said well, now there is a war going on at the border pass, it is good that the second master can have the spirit of sacrificing his life for the country, I heard that the imperial court gave fifty taels of consolation, but according to the old slave, it is okay not to take this silver, after all, there is a life to take the life to spend, isn't it?" ”

Mrs. Zhang's sentence of the third lady made Song Jin's music bloom, but after listening to the latter words, her face immediately looked bad, "You are a subordinate, how can you speak here, there are no rules." ”

Seeing Song Jin's shelf holding his wife, Hang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, and hurriedly pretended to coax Guoguo, not looking over there, saving embarrassment.

"Mother Zhang, I don't want to talk about this during the New Year, the second brother is also a person with property, and he will never go to the army, not to mention that the imperial court has not yet reached the time of conscription, even if the second brother wants to be a soldier, there is no way." Song Lu said a few words to Mrs. Zhang in a calm tone, but there was no meaning to blame.

"Madame's lesson is that the old slave doesn't know the severity, and the country's major affairs should not be discussed in vain." Mrs. Zhang immediately lowered her head and secretly gave Song Lu a thumbs up, which is what scolds people without dirty words.

Even if you Song Ershan want to go to the battlefield to die, you have to have the army willing to accept it, and the pension is not so easy to get.

Song Ershan's face was not good-looking, but thinking that he was here to beg for help, he could only endure his anger.

"The second brother should not be as knowledgeable as Zhang's mother, when he goes out of this door, he will act as if he has never heard of anything, national affairs are not something that can be said casually, in case the court investigates, it will be punished." Song Lu persuaded with good words.

Although the border war is not a secret, it is one thing for the people to know about it, and it is another thing to shout everywhere, as long as they are not fools, they will not talk nonsense.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Zhang dares to speak like this, otherwise she would not dare to cause trouble for her master.

"Since the second brother and sister-in-law are here, I just brought back some snacks and melon seeds, which were prepared for us by the girl from Xingchen, this girl is now the county lord of the emperor's own title, even if she sees the county master, she is also on an equal footing, and she is happy." Song Lushi instructed Zhang's mother to prepare snacks, and turned around and said to Song Ershan and his wife: "By the way, Qiu Fen's girl should also get married, right?" At the beginning, that girl was wild enough, and she didn't take it lightly, and she almost took the life of our Xingchen, and it was also Xingchen's great life, and Lord Yama knew that she was blessed with good fortune behind her, so she didn't take it, or else it would be ...... Alas! Look at my mouth, don't mention these things during the New Year, and the girl in Xingchen is not a grudge, the past will be in the past. ”

Song Ershan and Song Jin couldn't hold back their smiles, and hurriedly said that they had something to do and left.

Song Lu put away his dignified posture at this time, and complained to Hang Kite: "See, this person has done something wrong, you can order him a few words and run away with his tail between his legs, if they really dare to ask for me, see how I bury them." ”

"Mother, don't be angry, my sister-in-law is blessed, and Houfu is waiting for her." Hang Yuan smiled: "But these two don't seem to be the kind people, it's better to have less contact, and save more congestion." ”

"You can see it, can my mother not know this reason? These two people just want to take advantage, but they don't want to think about how their family of three bullied our family in the first place, unless their brains are broken, otherwise they really can't take care of them. Song Lu shook his head, and put aside the fact that Song Ershan and his wife came here.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coaxed Guoguo while discussing whether there was anything inappropriate about worshipping ancestors.

This year, the head of the clan sacrificed, Song Sanshan's vein was all covered, and the head of the family also had to pay homage to the ancestors, explain the situation of the family to the ancestors, and let Song Jiwu, the eldest grandson, kowtow to the ancestors.

Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished speaking, a woman's cry came from outside, and Mrs. Zhang went to see the situation without support, but when she came back, she took two people with her.

"Sister-in-law, Meizi, what's going on?" Seeing the appearance of the village chief's daughter-in-law Song Qiaoshi and Song Keymei's mother and daughter, as well as the crying faces of the two girls in their arms, Song Lushi was surprised and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly put the child on the kang, look at this little face is frozen." ”

"Bingxin, go boil some ginger syrup, and get some new melon and fruit snacks." Hang Kite commanded from the side.

"His aunt, let you see the jokes, but apart from hiding from you, I don't know where to go, and no one has an idle place to go this year." Song Qiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression still full of anger.

Song Keymei, who has always been a woman, will stop crying, but the red slap marks on her face and her red and swollen eyes are silently telling what happened to her.

"What kind of friendship do we have, and we still say such foreign words, this is deliberately making me angry, right?" Song Lu took Song Qiao's hand, glanced at Song Keymei, and asked: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, you can tell me, everyone can come up with an idea, before our family moved out, Xingchen and Meizi had the best relationship, and I brought a gift to Meizi when I came back this time." If Xingchen saw Meizi like this, he might feel more distressed. ”

When Song Keymei heard this, tears fell uncontrollably, and she hurriedly raised her arm and wiped it fiercely.

"What are you crying about, you are a girl who is not angry, I said at the beginning that the threshold of that family is high, our family can't climb it, you have to get married, but what kind of eyes do you have? It's only been a few years since you got married, and you gave birth to two granddaughters to their family, and it's not that you can't give birth, so you have to marry a flat wife, and say that whoever has a son in the future will be the head lady, which is obviously to drive you down to be a concubine! Our Song family is muddy, but it's not enough to be a concubine, we don't want this family matter, you take the two daughters back to your parents' house, your mother can't be hungry if you have a bite to eat, let's make room for them! Song Qiaoshi shouted at Song Keymei with a crackle.

"Mother, I'm not afraid of being divorced, but I'm afraid of these two girls...... How can I find relatives in the future! Song Keymei choked up, covered her face and wept silently.

Song Lu finally understood what was going on, so he asked, "Meizi, you and your aunt are telling the truth, do you two still have room for relaxation?" What is his attitude? Who hit the wound on your face? ”

"Who else could it be, that brute!" Song Qiaoshi said angrily: "Meizi didn't agree with him marrying a flat wife, so he quarreled with the old witch, and the beast beat Meizi without saying a word, and the face was still good, but I couldn't see the injuries on my body." This girl is also a fool, she was beaten several times and didn't go back to her parents' house to find someone, if it weren't for the fact that the beast was determined to marry his cousin this time, she would still be there to defend it, I was really angry! ”

After listening to Song Lu's words, she knew that Song Keymei was marrying a negative man, but as an outsider, she couldn't say anything too much.

"The man who beats the woman is unacceptable, Meizi, you have to think clearly, he treats you like this now, wait for that woman to enter the door, you mothers and daughters will not have a good life." Hang Kite didn't understand these scruples, so he said from the standpoint of a woman: "My father and my brother have said that if my father-in-law dares to beat me or marry another woman, let me take the child back to my mother's house, but I can't give those fox spirits a chance to harm our mother." ”

Song Lu glanced at Hang Kite, but he was not angry, but he was a little helpless.

Song Keymei bit her lip and didn't speak, as if she was making a final struggle, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, but Song Qiao's family kept complaining that her in-laws were too much, and the words were all about asking Song Keymei to hurry up and leave, and take her two daughters back to her parents' house.
