After returning to the main courtyard, Mrs. Lu first asked her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sort out a small quilt in the warm pavilion of her room, as a bed for the little baby, and then asked her to urge the nurse. After a while, the fourth wife, Liu's companion, sent her daughter-in-law over, and the daughter-in-law immediately took the child and fed it. Mrs. Lu sat on the side to rest, but never took her eyes off the child, and when the child was full and asleep, she ordered the nurse and the girls to take care of the child, and she came to the other side of the room.

Shi Nan has already put this ear room in order, and in the next month or two, or even longer, this will become Mrs. Lu's bedroom.

Wen Yi has been sitting outside, taking care of the children, and she can't help a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, so she can only pull Mama Zhao and talk about last night and this morning.

Mama Zhao sighed and said: "I have long thought of it, Mrs. Fifteen's body, this will be born, it must be dangerous!" If she is willing to relax, she will pay it back, but no matter how others persuade her, she just laughs and says that it is okay, but she always worries about people behind her back! Now that I have earned my life and given birth to the little lady, I am too pitiful to have no mother's child...... Brother Shun is not yet 16 years old! The other two masters are even younger! However, she soon smiled again: "It's really good that Mrs. Fifteen is willing to pass on Brother Kang to our sixth room!" Our family finally has incense! ”

Wen Yi recalled the expression of Fang Cai's seventeenth uncle and seventeenth aunt, and squinted her eyes: "I'm afraid that some people are not happy, the matter is undecided for a day, so we can't take it lightly!" ”

Mama Zhao disagreed: "What is Miss afraid of?" There are the eldest wife and the fourth wife! What are the seventeenth old man and the seventeenth wife? Dare to go against these two wives?! ”

Wen Yi smiled and didn't say anything. The eldest aunt and the fourth aunt...... Of course, there are means, but will they really contribute to the sixth room? The former is okay, I was only reminded by my grandmother a few days ago, and I will read it more or less, and the latter ...... As the wife of the patriarch and has taken care of the clan affairs for more than ten years, how could she not understand what it means for the sixth room that has broken the incense to succeed a boy of the same clan as the heir? !

But...... No matter what they think, she wants to make sure it happens! This is not only related to the incense of the six rooms, but also related to the grandmother's happy life in the future!

Old Madam Lu walked out of the ear room, and Wen Yi hurriedly got up to meet her and supported her: "Grandmother is tired all night, why don't you rest in the room for a while?" ”

Old Madam Lu sat down on the right seat and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, I'm very energetic right now!" Then he smiled at Mama Zhao: "You were guarding at home last night, were you in a hurry?" You're not too young, why don't you go back to the house and rest?! Mama Zhao snorted: "Old lady, what are you still talking about me!" If you're not tired, how can I be tired? You're in good spirits, and so am I! ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, shook her head, and then changed her color: "The daughter born to your fifteenth aunt is your sixteenth sister, and her mother asked me to name her before she died, so I changed her to 'Wen Yue', hoping that she would be safe and happy in her life." She is still a young lady in the ninth room, but because she has no mother, she is entrusted to me to raise. ”

Wen Yi was stunned, and quickly reacted. Nowadays, people in the world have several customs in marriage, and they pay attention to the "five no-takes" for women: do not take the son of the rebel family, do not take the son of the disorderly family, do not take the criminal person in the world, do not take the evil disease in the world, and do not take the eldest son of the widow. The last of these means that an eldest daughter who has no mother cannot be married, because such a daughter is very likely to be uneducated. In fact, she is also the eldest son of a widow, but fortunately she also has a respected grandmother who acts as a nurturing person, so she will not be too critical in marriage. And the sixteenth sister Wen Yue, who lost her biological mother at birth, and her father died early, there are only a few brothers above, if you stay at home, let alone upbringing, even the people you take care of may not be complete! The fifteenth aunt entrusted her to her grandmother, presumably planning to borrow her grandmother's name, so as not to hinder her relatives in the future. This love for a daughter is also difficult for the fifteenth aunt.

Wen Yi looked at Old Madam Lu and said a little sadly: "Aunt Fifteen...... A good mother......

Mrs. Lu nodded, and was about to say something, when she suddenly remembered her daughter-in-law and the grandson who had no chance, and her heart couldn't help but hurt.

Wen Yi saw that her grandmother's face suddenly turned pale, and she thought that there was something wrong with her body, so she hurriedly asked, "You don't care, right?" You must have been tired last night, so let's go back to your room and rest! ”

Old Madam Lu slowly eased up and shook her head: "Grandmother is fine. There's still a lot to do! Didn't you hear a letter from Pingyin? It's been a few days, and I haven't found Dr. Xiao yet?! ”

Mama Zhao was puzzled: "Does the old lady still want to find Dr. Xiao?" But isn't Mrs. Fifteen already ......."

Wen Yi understood what her grandmother meant: "The sixteenth sister was born in only eight months, and the fifteenth aunt was not in good health before, so I am afraid that there will be some shortcomings." Dr. Xiao is more experienced in treating these, please take a look, everyone is at ease. ”

Mama Zhao smiled: "I see! The old lady really thought thoughtfully! But you don't have to worry, I just looked at Miss Sixteen, although she is a little thin, but her crying can be loud! I must be very healthy! It would be more appropriate to wait for Dr. Xiao to come and see it! The old lady is so thoughtful, let's see who can find fault with it! Our six rooms have always been benevolent and kind, but they can't be compared to those black-hearted things! ”

Wen Yi lowered her head and smiled secretly, and Mrs. Lu glanced at Mama Zhao helplessly: "Okay, you can just talk about these words in private, now we still have people in the ninth room with us, don't let people listen to jokes!" ”

"Afraid of what? I'm afraid that they will scold us more ruthlessly than us in their hearts! Mama Zhao didn't think so, but she still looked into the warm pavilion, and then said, "I'll go back and take a look at a few brothers, the seventeenth young master has been weak since he was a child, and the current army is in chaos, don't be tired of him!" After saying that, he saluted Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi, and then walked away.

Wen Yi smiled helplessly, and whispered to Mrs. Lu: "Mama is happy in her heart, but it is not easy to show it on her face." ”

Old Madam Lu nodded and stretched out her hand: "Help me back to the room, I have something to tell you." ”

Wen Yi saw that she looked solemn, she didn't dare to ignore it, so she hurriedly did so, and when they entered the ear room, Shi Nan took the little girls out, and then stood at the door by herself, listening to her orders.

Mrs. Lu got into bed with the support of her granddaughter, leaned on the big pillow, sighed, and then lowered her voice and said, "This is a succession...... I had a thought in a trance before, but I finally dispelled it. I didn't expect your fifteenth aunt to mention it this morning, I didn't think it was bad to hear it, so I responded, but in this way, we will have an heir in the sixth room, and we will ...... This net worth will have to fall on Xiao Seventeen, you ...... Do you have a complaint in your heart? ”

Wen Yi didn't expect her grandmother to say this, so she hurriedly said, "How could it be? Grandmother will be honored and taken care of in the future, and it is too late for her granddaughter to be happy, how can she complain?! What's more, as long as Brother Kang can be filial to his grandmother in the future and send his grandmother to the end of his life, the whole family's property will be handed over to him, so what's the matter?! ”

"Good...... Good ......" Old Madam Lu seemed to be very happy, and patted Wen Yi's hand gently, "You are a good boy who acts open-mindedly, does not value money, and thinks about family affection, which is very good." Don't worry, grandmother knows in her heart, and you won't be missing a point when it's yours. As for Kang Ge'er...... Our family has an heir, and the family property should be returned, and this property will be given to him, both horizontally and vertically, all of them are descendants of the Gu family. Let's treat him well, his two elder brothers are good and bad, and they should treat us well. In the future, when you get married, you will also have your mother's family to support you! ”

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and her nose began to sour. In the matter of step-heirs, she thought that her grandmother would be able to be taken care of in the future, but what her grandmother thought was that she would have the support of her mother's family in the future, and the grandparents and grandchildren thought about each other!

She lowered her head, secretly shed a few tears, raised her sleeve and wiped it without a trace, before she raised her head and said, "Grandmother is thoughtful. This time...... It can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone, succeeding Brother Kang, we have incense in the sixth room, our grandmother is supported, and our granddaughter is supported by brothers. This is all thanks to Aunt Fifteen, her future, we will do our best, and in the future, the sixth brother and the eleventh brother, we can also take care of it more. ”

Old Madam Lu's eyebrows bent, and she said softly: "When your father went, someone also mentioned the matter of succession, but I didn't respond. Do you know why? ”

Wen Yi thought about it and hesitated a little: "Are you worried that the heir will not be good for her granddaughter?" ”

Old Madam Lu smiled: "In that situation at that time, if I agreed, the heir would have negotiated a few candidates in the clan, and then pushed them in front of me and let me choose, but no matter which one he chooses, it is difficult to guarantee that he has no parents and brothers, or uncles and aunts." As long as there are parents and relatives, this heir will eventually have an external heart. Why should I raise a child for someone else, and then let him get my family's inheritance?! Moreover...... In addition to the dowry of her grandmother and biological mother, there are about 500 taels of silver, and there is also a field, which is enough to make the woman not worry about food and clothing after marrying, but if there are brothers in the family...... The share of the dowry is determined by the brothers! I'd rather give up that share of the family property than let my flesh and blood suffer a little grievance! ”

Wen Yi's eyes turned red instantly: "It's all because of my granddaughter, so my grandmother has suffered for so many years......"

Old Madam Lu shook her head and touched her granddaughter's head lovingly: "I am for you and for myself." My wife is going to be strong all her life, but she doesn't want to grow old, but she asks a yellow-haired boy to hold it! Therefore, he simply refused to succeed back then. ”

Wen Yi sniffed and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, Brother Kang is a good boy, he will be filial to your ......"

Old Madam Lu nodded: "I know...... Speaking of which, this child is also destined for our family, back then, if it wasn't for you...... I'm afraid that he hasn't had time to take a look at this world, so he will go with him...... It can be seen that he is a child of our family from God, and you will love him as a brother in the future, you know? ”

Wen Yi smiled sweetly, and felt a little joy in her heart, remembering that when Wen Kang came to the house to greet her grandmother on weekdays, her well-behaved appearance added a little love: "I'll ask someone to clean up the house, right?" Or let him continue to live in the backyard with his brothers? ”

Mrs. Lu said: "Let's clean up the house first, and when the succession ceremony is over, I will take it over." The house of the ninth room has been built, but it will take a few days to move back, and while his two brothers are still living in the backyard, let them get closer. It's just that...... After the ceremony, this can no longer be done, although we have no intention of giving them brothers, but we are afraid that someone will gossip and stir up trouble. ”

Wen Yi was busy responding, so she got up and went out to take someone to clean up the house. Mrs. Lu leaned on the pillow, remembering the situation when Mrs. Xu was dying of the fifteenth wife, and sighed in her heart: It's hard for her, I'm afraid that she has long expected that she won't be able to hold on, right? This method is pressed in her heart, and it shouldn't be a matter of one or two days. She is not in good health, she is pregnant with a child, and she has to try her best to plan for her children, how can her body be good?

Jiufang Yanmai originally had three sons, because of the great disaster of the family, except for the clan field, most of the property was burned in the robbery, and the remaining property was less than one-fifth of the original, and several properties privately placed in the family were damaged due to the deed, and the yamen side was unable to complete the formalities for a long time, and the Jiufang family can be said to be a big loss of vitality. At the same time, there are collateral uncles eyeing each other, even if the three Wenshun brothers keep the family business, when the two younger sons grow up and split the family in the future, they will not be able to share much property.

The sixth room is a solid home, although there is no ancestral property of the clan, but there is a private field and Zhuangzi, the old lady in charge, respected in the clan, admired, and is also a lady of the command! But because there is only one granddaughter in the family and no heirs, the incense is difficult to continue, and when the granddaughter gets married, there is no one to support the old man.

Mrs. Fifteen earned her life and gave birth to a daughter, entrusted her to the old lady of the sixth room, and passed on her youngest son to the sixth room as an heir. In this way, not only can the daughter be raised, but also find an arm for several sons. The children of ordinary scholars and the grandchildren raised by Mrs. Decree are two different things in the eyes of the world! In the future, when the children are older, they will have the confidence to say that they will have the confidence to say that as long as they respectfully send the old man to the end, the property of the six rooms can be owned by Wenkang! Her child gets two properties in the sixth room and the ninth room at the same time, which is really thoughtful!

In the name of her will, she invited the wives of the two patriarchs to testify, presumably because she was sure that these two concubines were not in harmony with each other, and it was impossible to be persuaded at the same time, which ruined her calculations. Moreover, with their help, it is not easy for the clan to object. As long as the succession is done, the six rooms will be able to get back the family property, which will only be good for Kang Ge'er......

Old Madam Lu stared at the entwined lotus pattern on the quilt and sighed softly. The fifteenth nephew and daughter-in-law are still a little wary of her after all, otherwise, if she begs her directly, can she still be unwilling? Why use this method?

But she didn't care, because the Xu family was dead, and in the hearts of several children, she was still the uncle and grandmother who really cared for them, as long as they could do what she expected, what did it matter if there were things outside the body? Besides, their sister is still with her! Even if he is an heir, he is not capable of acting recklessly.

In the end, it is not known who calculated whom......
