Solved the major affairs of the Hu family. Hu Fei and Chunying both let go of their hearts, and now there are only three things left to do: the ceremony of Hu Fei's return to the family tree, the relocation of Hu Fei's mother's grave, and the inheritance of incense by Brother Zong'er. The couple discussed it and felt that with the support of the new patriarch and the way to deal with those dead-brained clan elders a long time ago, these things were not difficult to do. In a year, the opening of the ancestral hall can only be carried out on specific days, so Hu Fei plans to stay in Beijing for two more months, and be sure to clean things up, so as not to have any more trouble.

Chunying discussed with Hu Fei again, took out a sum of money, bought forty acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing, used it as a sacrificial field, and handed it over to Brother Zong to take care of on weekdays.

On the other hand, Hu Fei paid for the sacrificial field, which was a great contribution to the Hu family. After Hu Peng tossed a game, these clan elders are very clear that for a flourishing family, how important it is to sacrifice the field, even if the family suffers another catastrophe in the future, this sacrifice field cannot be confiscated, as long as the children of the clan are not dead, they will not starve to death, and if they want to study and take scientific examinations, or do small business, they have the capital to make a comeback. But how many people in the clan are willing to pay for office property? It's rare that Hu Fei is willing to be the wronged leader, who else would oppose him re-entering the genealogy? Even, after such a stubble, Hu Fei's status in the clan became transcendent. Even if he is young, others dare not disrespect him.

When they got up early the next morning, the two freshened up, Chunying went to take care of her son, and Hu Fei ordered someone to call Brother Zong to come over for breakfast together, and then told him what the couple had discussed last night.

If he still had a trace of doubt about this uncle after yesterday's acquaintance, now he really believes that the other party is really for his good. His face flushed, and he only felt ashamed and embarrassed, and he didn't know how to face his uncle.

Brother Zong could barely cry. I just know how to nod my head there.

Brother Zong nodded while crying: "Thank you...... Uncle ......"

Brother Zong raised his head suddenly, very excited: "Really?!" Can I really pick up my mother?! ”

Brother Zong hurriedly got up and knelt down next to him and kowtowed: "If you can take your mother back, you will be filial every day, and your nephew will be willing to reduce his life!" The nephew will remember the great kindness of his uncle and aunt for the rest of his life, and the nephew kowtows to his uncle and aunt! ”

Brother Zong raised his sleeves embarrassedly and wiped his face, Hu Fei said: "Look, bring out these actions in a hurry, it's really unruly!" It's about to change, and you can't do it in front of people in the future! Brother Zong smiled with a red face and whispered "yes".

Chunying slapped him with a smile, turned back to Brother Zong and said, "Don't listen to your uncle, Brother Dai is still young, what's so strange about slurred speech?" He's decided you're an older brother, that's it! ”

Brother Zong carefully took Brother Dai, smelled the milk fragrance on his body, and suddenly had some wonderful feelings: Is this my brother? Hu Peng's stepwife and concubines have all given birth to children, but he can't have a sense of affection for those three younger brothers and sisters. Now holding this little child, I feel soft in my heart: I am my brother......

After breakfast, Hu Fei was about to take Brother Zong into the inner city to find the Hu family, Chunying took the child to her sister's house, entrusted Brother Dai to her, and let him play with his cousins and sisters, before going home to change his clothes, take Xiaoxiang and a mother-in-law who is used to going out with him, and take the carriage to the direction of Houfu.

Shi'er happened to be at home. She is now a little richer than back then, looking at it is round and jade, wearing a new pink Beijing satin jacket, which makes her look very good, and the more people look more and more delicate. Look at the head and hands, the hairpin with gold and pearls, the distraction of the white jade carving, and the bracelet with silver wire twist are all the same. Chunying came suddenly, and didn't say hello in advance, as soon as the mother-in-law knocked on the door, Shi'er came out dressed like this, which can be seen to be a daily dress, obviously living a very good life.

Chunying was busy making a loss, and pursed her lips and smiled: "I look at your complexion, but I think you have had a good life in the past few years, and you may not have time to think about me!" Then she glanced at the child who was looking at the door behind her, and then at the other baby that the nurse was holding next to her, and her eyes were full of amusement.

Chun Ying smiled: "I'm going to the Hou Mansion today, what are you bringing him here for?" Could it be that he was told to kowtow to people at a young age? His aunt took it! ”

Chunying smiled and entered the house, first saw her two children, except for the son she already had in her belly when she left Beijing, it was a girl who was born last year, the two children were white and fat and very healthy, but the eldest son was a little shy, but his behavior was very well-behaved, let him call someone, he called obediently, and his speech was very clear. Chunying liked it and hurriedly gave a meeting gift.

Chunying hurriedly asked, "So, my wife is up again?!" Doesn't it mean that the housekeeper is now the third young grandmother?! ”

Shi'er said: "In the two years when the third young grandmother just got married, she was really orderly and reasonable, and there were rules for everything. At that time, the housework was all in charge of the three young grandmothers, the wife was only in charge of recuperation, and those who could only flatter could only put away their careful thoughts and work honestly, and we were all clapping and chanting in private! It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the old lady was sick, and the third young grandmother had to serve the sick and housekeeping, and she didn't take care of it for a while, and several rooms in the courtyard began to make a fuss, and even the wife intervened, and the child conceived by Rouge was gone, but the blame was placed on the head of the third young grandmother! I'm almost going to open an ancestral hall! The third young grandmother has no children herself, and it is weightless to speak in the ancestral hall, but fortunately, the old lady stabilized the scene and drove away the restless rooms, but she was sick after all and couldn't support it, and the wife somehow moved the patriarch's wife to support her, and finally got some power back. Now the third young grandmother is only in charge of housework, and if there is any big thing in the house, she has to ask his wife what he means. The demons and monsters are rising again! ”

Shi'er sneered: "The rouge was given by the eldest aunt and grandmother, and she has been standing on the side of the third young grandmother, and the wife has always looked at her unpleasantly, so what's so strange about it?" Besides, the few people in the third young master's house, except for rouge, were all rewarded by their wives. The third young grandmother originally had a dowry girl who wanted to open her face, but her wife made a mistake, beat her half to death, and almost kicked out! Her face was also broken, and the third young grandmother had to take her to another person. In my opinion, the third young master was in Xiucai before, and his wife felt that her face was bright, and the old lady was sick and couldn't take care of things, and the Hou Ye was busy with government affairs, going out early and returning late every day, so he didn't have the time to take care of these things at all, and naturally no one in the house could suppress his wife. I'm also glad that my father-in-law is the Hou Ye's person and the chief steward, not something that my wife can easily move, and our business is doing well, otherwise our wife will give us an order, and we can still have good fruits to eat?! ”

Chun Ying hurriedly asked: "Mrs. has made a fuss to this point, has the third young master not done anything?!" If that's the case, she's going to despise him, when she was a child, she looked a little clever and small-tricked, why is she so stupid now?!

Shi'er sighed: "The third young master is working very hard now, he failed to pass the exam three years ago, and he is planning to take the exam again next year. How much can he know about the inner court? Besides, he and the third young grandmother have always been just indifferent, and there is no reason to offend the wife for the third young grandmother. ”

Reading is not an excuse, no matter how busy you are, don't you even have the time to say a word? Chunying disagreed. I'm afraid it's more because he doesn't have too deep feelings for Fan Xiru, right? My wife married and went home, but she was wronged like this, or is she not a man?!

Shi'er didn't know what Chun Ying was slandering in her heart, and she still said to herself: "If the mansion continues like this, I really don't know what will become of it." Didn't you hear that the wind is quite tight outside now? I hope my wife doesn't cause any trouble. He sighed and lowered his voice, "We only talked about it a few days ago, and next year will be the fiftieth birthday of Lord Hou!" When the time comes, please ask my father-in-law to ask for a favor and let our family out! ”

Chun Ying was pleasantly surprised: "Really?!" ”

Shi'er nodded, and lowered his voice again: "My father-in-law's errand is on the top of the uncle, and our family can go out of the house first." In the past few years, my husband and wife have saved some savings, and he knows many people in business. If we go out, my father-in-law is willing to pay for us to open a store by ourselves. Just like your family, now that it is also developed, it seems that you will continue to be in this house, and you will be scared, and you don't know when you will be dismissed from your errand, so you can have a way back. ”

Chun Ying hurriedly said: "If there is anything you need our help with, just say it." I can't guarantee anything else, but the cloth and satin in Jiangnan, you can have no problem as much as you want! I'll ask my dad to give you a discount. ”

Shi'er smiled and shook her hand: "Then let's decide?!" ”

Chunying pinched it back, and said with a smile: "When you go out, the child's education will be taken care of." You know, he's the one who holds the official seal?! ”

Shi'er understood, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Then Chun Ying asked about the current situation of the other people in the Hou Mansion. For example, the eldest young master, although he bought an official position, but because of chance, he met the dispatch of the official and did the errand well, and was appreciated by a senior official of the Criminal Department, and now he has been transferred to the Criminal Department and promoted to Wupinlangzhong, but has become the highest official among the younger generation of the Li family. In addition, the young grandmother gave birth to a pair of children for him, and now it can be said that he is proud. When Chunying saw her second uncle that day, she only heard that the eldest young master had been promoted to Tianding, and she didn't know the details, but now that she heard it, she was happy for him.

The second young master was released a few years ago, and it was Hou Ye who obtained it for him, the county order of a small place near Jinan, Shandong, for fear that he would not understand official business, Hou Ye specially put seven or eight masters to accompany him, but he didn't have to do anything except put on a show in the public court and stamp the documents, and he only knew to hug the concubines for fun all day long.

Shi'er snickered: "Last winter, he went back to Beijing to report on his work, but he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and he ran away as soon as the wind blew. ”

Chun Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and asked again, "Is the second young grandmother still there?" ”

"Yes, why not there?" Shi'er raised his eyebrows, "Taishi Liang is a trusted minister personally pointed out by the first emperor!" The emperor did not kill him, but exiled his whole family, and only left the second young grandmother in Beijing, and did not allow her to see outsiders or communicate with her family. Now the second young grandmother is just a living dead, but she can't die yet! I saw it once, and I felt that she was pitiful, such a beauty back then, and now ...... Gee. She shook her head and said no more.

Chunying was actually not very interested in the second young grandmother, so she asked someone else instead: "How are the two young ladies?" And what about the peony sisters in the wife's house and the sisters in the old lady's house? ”

"They're all married." Shi'er said, "The second miss is married to a military attaché, both of them are straight-tempered, they quarrel for three days, and the second miss will go back to her parents' house after a quarrel, and she was scolded by the Hou Ye before she relented." The third lady married a lifter, the two of them were kind, and I didn't hear any bad news. Sister Peony had a serious illness the year before last, and was let out by her wife, and now she is married, and she has heard that she has a good life, and her husband's family is a Zhuang family, and her family is still passable. The girls in the old lady's house have changed now, if you go back to the Hou Mansion, you have to be careful, there are many people who are wives! ”

Chun Ying was secretly taken aback, if this was the case, no wonder Fan Xiru was so annoyed......

Shi'er looked at her and suddenly smiled: "There is another person, why don't you ask?" ”

Chunying was puzzled: "Who are you talking about?" "My heart moved: by the way, there is also Zhou Nian! Zhou Nian's news, she is not good at asking others, and she may not be able to meet the third young master when she returns to the Hou Mansion, so she should ask Shi'er first.

Shi'er squeezed his eyes: "Who else?" Ours, of course...... Aunt Cui?! ”

(Is it a big giveaway today?) The end is approaching...... ）！！
