Chapter 435 of the list of fateful chapters is in vain

After the old ladies of the Xue family finished speaking, they left, and Rong Hua asked people to wrap gifts and respectfully send them to the carriage.

Old Lady Xue San smiled and took Rong Hua's hand, "In a few months, Wu Muhou will have a successor, you are the hero of our Xue family." ”

Rong Hua pursed her lips and smiled, "The old lady said with a smile. ”

Mrs. Xue San said, "In the past, the eldest princess was not in good health and could not come and go from time to time, and when you gave birth to a child, you had to move around often. ”

In the Xue family, because of the identity of the old lady and the eldest princess, the relationship is not close. Now that the family is separated, the family is not the old lady's business, and the situation has changed. The shadow of King Xuan hanging over the Xue family gradually faded, and Xue Mingrui was reused by the imperial court again, and the Xue family naturally wanted to get close.

Rong Hua smiled: "Even if the old lady doesn't say it, I will pass it often." ”

Everyone laughed for a while.

Seeing off the people in the Xue clan, the fourth wife couldn't help but smile and took Rong Hua's hand, "Thanks to the name, you didn't see how scary the second wife's face was" Speaking of this, the fourth wife's expression cooled, "The second room really does everything, and even the reputation of the Xue family is ignored in order to get some money, if I am questioned by the elders of the clan this time, I don't know what ugly words to say after that, maybe even your fourth uncle will take out the identity of the concubine." ”

The second room will definitely talk about the identity of the fourth uncle's concubine, how can the children of the concubine get so much family property. However, before the second wife spoke, she had to think about how to tell the clan about the house in Sitiao Hutong.

Which of the four alleys and three courtyards or the five hundred acres of self-cultivated wasteland in Shandong is more valuable.

The fourth room of the Xue family responded to the imperial court's policy of opening up wasteland, and when they arrived at the government, they had to think about whether to make a fuss. Even if the second room goes to the court and says that the division is uneven, "the court may not come to the house to check."

She learned how to use the laws of the imperial court from Xue Mingrui.

"The old lady is angry, if the second room doesn't close the restaurant immediately, let the second room move out tomorrow." ”

Rong Hua was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the old lady to arrange it like this. The candidates who came to Beijing to catch the exam have not left Beijing yet, "The restaurant business is just right, how can the second master and the second wife give up the opportunity to make money."

The fourth lady's eyes flashed, "But I think the old lady is angry for a while." ”

The old lady knew that it was not a day or two since the second room opened a restaurant, and it seemed impulsive to make this decision in front of the clansmen, but in fact, she had already thought about it in her heart, and letting the second room move away was by no means a way to deal with the clansmen.

The fourth wife sent Rong Hua to the South Courtyard, and the second wife told the little maid in the room to call Xue Chongyi back" "Tell the master that there is something urgent." ”

The little girl was just about to leave, and the second wife stopped the little girl again, and the old lady asked, and said that the old lady asked us to move out of the Xue family tomorrow. ”

The little guy was stunned when he heard this.

The second wife frowned and urged, "Go quickly!" ”

The little girl ran out of the yard with her front foot, and Mother Li's mother entered the Qian house with her back foot, "Grandma, the old lady asked you to come over." ”

Qian put down the needle and thread in his hand and stood up.

Mother Li smiled and said, "Let's go quickly, don't let the old lady wait." ”

Qian took Brother Run and Li's mother into the inner room together.

When Brother Run saw the old lady, he immediately broke free of Qian's hand and ran to the old lady's bed, "Great-grandmother, great-grandmother, Brother Run, I miss you." ”

The childish voice made the old lady laugh, "This kid is funny when he talks" "Brother Run, I miss you" Who would talk like that" said and stroked Brother Run's hair with his hand, "My good great-grandson, otherwise my great-grandmother will hurt you." ”

Qian and Li's mother both stood aside and laughed.

The old lady talked to Brother Run for a while, and beckoned Mother Li to lead Brother Run out" and "Get some fruit for Brother Run." ”

Brother Run refused to leave.

The old lady smiled and said, "I'll talk to your mother and see what snacks I can make for you tomorrow." ”

Brother Run agreed.

Waiting for the old and the young to go out, the old lady asked Aunt Dai directly, "How is the pregnancy?" ”

Qian's face is supple" "Don't worry, it's stable, I will take good care of it in the next few months, Aunt Dai's appetite is good, her face is also rough, and the mother-in-law in the yard said that she was pregnant like a boy." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, but when she thought of what Aunt Dai did, her expression was a little ugly, "You also have to show some majesty of the main room, you look at Rong Hua, 1 Bu was a young man who cleaned up the people around him, and no one dared to make a mistake in front of her." ”

Qian lowered his head and said, "The second brother and sister are smart and smart, I can't compare." ”

"You have your benefits, you are kind, you do things properly, you can eat grievances, if you didn't block Mingbai's kick, Mingbai would have made a big mistake." ”

Qian was a little flattered, "It's all my fault for this matter, I didn't find out that Aunt Dai actually harmed the old lady with the cook in the big kitchen, and I didn't know that Aunt Dai was pregnant." ”

The old lady sighed, "Well, I know your difficulties. "To listen to the words of the second daughter-in-law, and to help the housekeeper as much as possible, it is not easy to do this, where can everything be taken into account.

The old lady took the tea and drank it. "I called you here because I have something else to explain."

Qian sat aside and listened quietly.

"I've already told the clan that I'll let you move out tomorrow." ”

Qian's eyes widened in surprise, "Old lady...... This ......"

The old lady waved her hand, "There are many things you don't understand. I can't rest assured that Brother Run, there are not many Mingbai Dailu, and your mother's family can't help you, so I want you to come to Zhang Luo for many things. I'll leave you something if I think about it. ”

When the old lady said this, Mother Li brought a mahogany box and handed it to Qian.

Qian took the box into his hand, and saw that the old lady opened the box, and there were some silver tickets and jewelry inside.

"Leave it to Brother Run and Aunt Nose for the child in her belly." If you are in trouble in the future, take it out and use it. ”

Qian's eyes were hot, "The old lady already hurts Brother Run a lot on weekdays." ”

"Take it," the old lady took a look at the Qian family, "After you go out, help your mother take good housekeeping." ”

Qian thanked the old lady again, "The old lady was reluctant to let Brother Run, so she let Brother Run live in the old lady's house all the time, and I will take him to live in the new courtyard after the New Year." The old lady thought for a moment, "No need, since it is a separate family, you have to have a look, and it is also close to you to move to Sitiao Hutong, and you often bring him back." ”

As soon as the old lady's words fell, Brother Run ran back to the inner room like a gust of wind, "Brother Run wants to live with his great-grandmother, and Brother Run is not going anywhere." The little head kept drilling into the old lady's arms, "Brother Run, don't move." ”

Qian stepped forward to hug Brother Run, and Brother Run kicked his calf hard, "Don't, don't, don't, Brother Run sleeps with his great-grandmother at night, and great-grandmother likes Brother Run." ”

Qian Shi hurriedly explained, "The house has been collecting things these days, and Brother Run knows about it, I thought it would be the New Year...... I didn't tell Brother Run. Brother Run was finally hugged on the kang, his thin arm stretched out to hug the old lady's neck, and his soft hair rubbed against the old lady's cheek, "Brother Run, let's not leave." ”

The small body carried a milky fragrance, and the old lady's heart couldn't help but soften. It's hard for such a young child to run around with adults, and I don't know if I can adapt to it when I go to a new yard. It's freezing outside, and it's about to be the New Year. But Brother Run, who stayed, was still young and couldn't do without his mother.

The old lady was talking with Brother Run, and Xue Yu entered the house and said, "Steward Yu is here."

Steward Yu has always been an important matter, and Qian stood up to avoid it.

The old lady said lightly: "Listen to what's going on." ”

Steward Yu stepped forward to salute the old lady and the Qian family, "The murderer who killed the fourth master caught by the third grandmother has confessed in Shuntian Mansion. ”

The old lady was not surprised, there have always been means in the yamen to make people tell the truth.

Steward Yu said this and glanced at the Qian family next to him, and his next words were surprising, "The man confessed that the steward in the hands of the third grandmother gave him fifty taels of silver to pretend to be a murderer. ”

Qian seemed to be confused, and the old lady's face was pale, and she had already heard what Steward Yu meant.

Steward Yu said: "That person is just an honest farmer, and the steward in the hands of the third grandmother specially asked him to make a show in order to cheat the reward." ”

Qian couldn't help but exclaim, "How can there be such a thing." ”

Steward Yu said, "It's all because the third grandmother gave too much silver, and the steward in his hand came up with this idea." ”

The old lady said lightly: "What about the person in charge?" ”

That's what he really wants to get back. Steward Yu lowered his voice, "The steward explained the whole thing clearly from beginning to end in the yamen. It is said that the murderers who killed Long Zhengping back then were found by Chang Ning Boshizi. It was only because Long Zhengping transferred a lot of rice and grain into Beijing during the flood in the capital. ”

Everyone's ears suddenly felt like a string had been broken, and the piercing buzzing sound continued.

It took Qian a while to come back to his senses and look at the old lady.

The old lady's face was already extremely ugly, "It turned out to be the Ren family." No wonder the Ren family happened to save the fourth child at that time. ”

Now it seems that it is not a coincidence, it is simply the Ren family who was on the side at that time. The steward next to Ren Jingchu knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, and it happened that Ren Jingchu took out a large sum of silver as a bounty to find the murderer, and the steward looked at the boiled duck in front of him, and finally did not resist the attraction of the money, and found a crop man to pretend to be a murderer, and when the Xue family used lynching to get angry, the steward could receive the bounty. The steward thought well, but he didn't expect that the Xue family would hand over the person to the yamen, and the person in the yamen told the truth in the first trial, and the Qian family immediately linked the whole thing together. The thing was done by the Ren family, but I didn't expect it to be revealed by Ren Jingchu. It's not good when to figure out this matter, but at this juncture, the old lady will be even more disgusted with the Ren family when she learns about this matter, and she finally let Brother Run ease the atmosphere, and now all the efforts are in vain, and the old lady will not even stay by Brother Run's side in order to clear up the relationship with the Ren family.
