Chapter 384: Succession

Thinking of this, Sanniang looked at Erniang quietly.

Erniang stood next to her with her head slightly bowed, frowning slightly, and she really couldn't see anything on her face. But Sanniang would not be naΓ―ve to think that Erniang was really worried about her uncle's family.

A few years ago, when the Liu family burned down the ancestral hall, at the beginning, because everyone didn't expect that the Liu family would be so bold and would shout to catch the thief by himself, so when the eighteenth uncle said good things to the Liu family, no one noticed that it was wrong. Later, the Liu family was dealt with by the Wang family, and no one looked back to wonder if the Wang family still had her accomplices, because no one in the Wang family had the courage and position to do so.

Of course, she also believed that the Eighteenth Uncle's family would never have the courage to collude with Liu's mother and daughter and do the thing of burning down the ancestral hall. But the benefits of receiving Liu's mother and daughter afterwards are certain. They have long been in contact with Erniang.

And this time, the Lian family selected the son of the clan to be the heir for Wang Xian, but he chose the grandson of the eighteenth uncle, which made Sanniang have to be vigilant.

Moreover, the eighteenth uncle was born as a concubine, and he had no interest when he was young, but he didn't know moderation in women, so he also gave birth to a bunch of concubines. It's just that he was born, and he still has no way to support him, so the huge family relies on the help of the clan to survive.

The grandchildren of the eighteenth uncle, when she was in Shandong before, she also saw it during the New Year's Festival, either the chicken and the dog caused trouble, or the only one who was timid and afraid of things, and was equivalent to the invisible person in front of everyone. In short, there is no one who can get his hands on it.

Perhaps in the eyes of those people in the Lian family, it is the ultimate thing to have the inheritance, and it doesn't matter whether they can become talents or not.

But the twelve-year-old has already decided on sex, so how easy is it to start over? After a hundred years of Wang Xian and the Li family, this child inherited Wang Xian's house, if his children and grandchildren also learned the black miasma in his original family, Sanniang really felt that Wang Xian was not as good as the queen of extinction. At least his reputation was preserved after his death.

Wang Xian is open-minded and can see what he wants to do without children. But he still cherishes his reputation. Presumably he had that in his heart, too. Rather lack than excess.

Lian's meddling in Wang Xian's family affairs, Sanniang felt that she should not have too much malice, at most she regarded herself as the savior of the Wang family, as long as she felt that it was not good for the Wang family, she would come up and intervene. But. If this matter is related to Erniang, what good will it do her?

Restrain Wang Xian through the family of the eighteenth uncle? But when Wang Xian was alive, in a place like the capital, if this heir dared to be disrespectful, a word of "filial piety" could make him die without a place to be buried. Wang Xianke was born as an emperor.

If he waited until Wang Xian and the Li family passed away and came out to make waves, without Wang Xian's influence, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Now Erniang is married to Shen Wei. There seems to be some tacit understanding between the two. So could this matter be Shen Wei secretly making trouble behind him? Why did Ke Shi Shen Wei do this? What's in it for him?

Sanniang thought like this, while saying goodbye to Erniang. Her relationship with Erniang has always been light, not good, she has never avoided confrontation with Erniang. Of course, this is also the result of her deliberate distance from it.

Erniang didn't leave Sanniang, nodded with a smile, and went away with the maids.

At this time, in Lian's room. Li is embarrassed.

The power of the Lian family in the fourth room is comparable to the power of the Sun family in the backyard of the Wang family back then. But the four-room family is not just a daughter-in-law in the backyard. The granddaughter-in-law bowed her head one by one, and respected her now. Even the sons of the Lian family also offered the Lian family highly, and they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her, and I heard that her husband had always respected her very much when he was there.

This shows that Lian may really have some qualities that are worthy of the respect of the family. For this, the Lian clan is much stronger than the Sun clan.

Lian came to Beijing, and of course he lived in the main courtyard. In the homes of the sons of the Lian family, the Wulun Lian family is not with them, whether it is in the capital or in Shandong, and the main house is empty. Except for Lian's, no one dared to live. And none of her daughters-in-law have complained about her, and the family is also harmonious and united.

At this point, the Lian family defeated the Sun family again.

Li looked at the one kneeling at his feet, who was said to be twelve years old, and Ke Shi looked very thin, like a boy about ten years old. A look of embarrassment.

"Good boy, you get up first." Lee reached out to help the child.

The child looked up and quietly glanced at his grandmother, and under the fierce eyes of the eighteenth old lady, he shrank his head, and his body sank heavily, and he was unwilling to get up.

The eighteenth old lady smiled at the Li family and said: "Sixteen sister-in-law, look at it, this child is a filial piety, and he is sincere, when I was at home, I or his grandfather had a headache and brain fever, he personally waited for the decoction in front of the bed, so many children in the family, none of them can compare to him." I heard that Brother Sixteen likes to be studious, not that I praise him, this kid, there is no other hobby is that he likes to read, and he has read all the books at home. ”

As she spoke, the eighteenth old lady wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve: "To be honest, I am also reluctant to do so." But you also know the situation in my family, such a good child, if he still stays in that kind of place, the good will also learn badly. I know that you husband and wife are the most kind-hearted, and you are even more benevolent. Back then, she was just a concubine, and you have been raised like a treasure for so many years, and you are more noble than the daughters of other families. I heard that you also prepared a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight taels for her, and the silver in the box was tens of thousands of taels. ”

Speaking of this, the eighteenth old lady was a little anxious: "Didn't I say it, your dowry is too heavy." Where is there a concubine who marries so many dowries? I know that Brother Twelve has been in a high position over the years, and he must have saved some money. However, no matter what you say, this wealth must be kept for ......."

"Well, the more you talk about it, the more you don't talk about it." Lian Shi shouted with a straight face.

The eighteenth old lady was a little stunned, and she was so frightened by this cry that she immediately swallowed her words.

Li was still listening patiently, and when she heard the eighteenth old lady talk about the situation in her family, she sighed a little, but the more she got to the back, the more she didn't speak. Li's face couldn't help but sink.

Not to mention the Li family, even the Lian family was a little annoyed when they heard it.

Li said lightly: "Ah Zheng was brought up by me personally, and she has followed me since she was a child, and in my heart she is no different from my own birth." Most of the dowry I gave her was the dowry I brought from my mother's family. In the Wang family, it was just three thousand taels from the public school. My companion married my own daughter, and even my lord had nothing to say. ”

The eighteenth old lady was a little stumbling when she heard this.

Lian snorted coldly: "She is a fool who can't be on the stage, and she has been a concubine for so many years, can you still not understand?" It's good to pretend that you didn't hear it, and you don't have to be angry with her. ”

When Lian said this, Li couldn't say anything more.

Looking down to see that the child was still honestly kneeling, he also felt some pity for him, touched his head and said, "Good boy, get up, don't kneel." Even though it was spring, it was cold on the ground. ”

She smiled: "Back then, when your uncle and grandfather were your age, he went to the temple with his mother to visit the Buddha, because he saw that the stone slab in the temple was engraved with the cursive script of a master of the previous dynasty, and he went to see it every day when he was in the temple. It was early spring, and when he saw that he was energetic, he knelt on the ground and copied it, and so on for several days, until he followed his mother back home. At that time, I was young and didn't know how heavy it was, but now I complain that my legs and feet hurt when the weather is wet and cold. ”

"Get up and get up, your uncle and grandmother also love you." Lian Shi, who was sitting on the top, also said.

This time the eighteenth old lady did not dare to look at her grandson again, so the child got up and stood on the side with his head bowed, not daring to raise his head.

Lian said to Li: "I don't just stuff someone for you. I've looked at this kid carefully, and he's a good one, and he hasn't touched any of the bad things in their house. And he's really a lover of reading, I went to his place to read it, and there was a room full of books. According to his mother, he saved all the monthly allowances given by the family to buy books. I know the problem of my sixteenth brother, I have loved books since I was a child, and I can't wait for everyone in the world to love books as much as he does. ”

Speaking of this, Lian seemed to think of something funny, shook his head and said: "I remember that when he was a teenager, because his twelfth brother thought his pillow was uncomfortable, he secretly took his two thick books back to pad his head. When he found out, he lost his temper and beat up his twelfth brother. As a result, both brothers were punished by their aunts and went to kneel in the ancestral hall. ”

Li Shi also smiled: "I heard the old man talk about this, and he said that he was also dizzy at that time. Those two books are the only ones he bought from an old teacher for half a year. On weekdays, he still respects the twelfth brother very much, and he never even says a word heavy. But after that time, the twelfth brother ran away when he saw him. ”

"The twelfth brother just loves to mess around." Speaking of Mrs. Wang, Lian always couldn't cry or laugh.

Seeing that the atmosphere was much better, Lian suddenly said: "Sixteenth brother and sister, I watched the twelfth brother grow up, and they all say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, can I still harm you?" Naturally, I'm thinking about you. To be honest, there were a lot of people who came to me when I was in Shandong, and they were all willing to give their children to you, but I inquired about their character and refused. To be honest, I wasn't satisfied with this kid at first glance. (To be continued)
