When the news reached the sixth room, Wen Yi was in her grandmother's house, choosing the materials to make new autumn clothes for her younger brother, and immediately glanced back at her grandmother when she heard this.

Old Madam Lu was expressionless, and said to the middle lady who came to report: "In this case, you go and inquire again, does it matter if you are sick?" Then I asked Zhongda to prepare a gift, and I will visit the patient tomorrow. Zhong Niangzi hurriedly responded.

Wen Yi put down the material and walked to her grandmother, and lowered her voice: "Uncle and grandmother, is this really sick?" Or ......," she paused, "the eldest aunt is going to take the sixth sister home?" ”

A few days ago, I heard that a child of a partial branch of the ninth room was going to study at Cannes Academy, and wrote to a maiden relative who lived in Cannes to ask for a recommendation, so that the teenager could go directly to school without going through repeated tests. As soon as the news came out, several families immediately came to the door, and she weighed it for a long time before answering one of them. Now not only the people who are partial to the branch, but even the people of several families want to slap her. You must know that there is only one official in the Gu family now, and the second master Gu is still waiting to be employed, and among the younger generation, in addition to the eldest young master Wen Xian in the capital, only the second young master Wen Liang in the second room has made a name for himself, and the others are just children, and it is not that there are only children who know a few big characters. Cannes College is famous, many children of dignitaries are willing to enroll, each subject can produce more than a dozen jinshi, and there have been champions in the past, if you can get the opportunity to enter directly, the bright future will be half of it!

In this case, if the eldest lady proposes to take her daughter home, no one will dare to say "no", let alone that the old lady is sick, and no one will stop the word "filial piety".

Old Madam Lu naturally understood this truth, so she smiled slightly: "Since the people in the long room said that she was sick, then she was sick." Naturally, we should have visited the sick. ”

Wen Yi smiled knowingly and turned the topic back to the material: "My granddaughter thinks that camel hair is good, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it can be warmer in velvet, and then make a few more jackets and cotton jackets, and the materials are all plain and light, what do you think?" ”

Old Madam Lu nodded: "You think thoughtfully, Brother Kang is now a passive, keeping filial piety or something, it is different from what filial piety has to keep, he has always been weak, but don't suffer the cold, just make him warmer." The clothes of the two brothers of Wen Shunwen and Wen also try to choose warm materials to make, as long as the face is passable. ”

Wen Yi responded, turned around and picked out another time from the alternative materials, took out the thick cotton cloth and Gu velvet in the colors of dark blue, light gray, moon white, beige white, and stone blue, and sent them to her grandmother to look at it again, and when she nodded, she immediately handed it over to the girls to pass it out, and asked the people from the tailor shop to measure and tailor Wenkang Wenshun's clothes, and by the way, he called the people who were waiting in front of them to come over, and asked some things about living and eating, and then let them go out.

When Mrs. Lu saw her granddaughter's people in the ninth room leaving, she had been pondering silently, so she asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Wen Yi smiled before saying, "Granddaughter thinks ...... The people in the ninth room seem to be a little different from before, as if they are ...... When you look at us...... His eyes were not so calm, and he was a little wary...... My granddaughter doesn't quite understand that my grandmother and I are not good to his family. Even the servants of the household, and no one offended them? She hesitated, "The granddaughter remembered that in the past few days, there have been several elders in the ninth room, and they are not like the seventeenth uncle and the seventeenth aunt, who turned their faces with the sixth brother and their brothers, and they came in the name of caring for the younger generations, and our family can't stop them from seeing each other, so they didn't say anything." Don't...... It was they who said bad things about us behind our backs, and made the people of Jiufang have different hearts? ”

Old Madam Lu smiled: "What they said, I don't have to ask someone to inquire, I can guess." Your grandmother told me about it yesterday, saying that she overheard the mother-in-law of the ninth room talking about it, and she was almost angry. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly asked, "Grandma also heard it?" What's going on?! But Aunt Seventeen is making trouble again?! ”

Old Madam Lu shook her head: "It's for the sake of our six-room assets." ”

Wen Yi was stunned, but after listening to her grandmother's explanation, she quickly understood.

Liufang has retrieved most of the ancestral houses, but the other properties are somewhat unclear. Because all the land that had been included in the clan had been distributed to the clan, it was impossible to take it back as it was. Among the fields owned by Liufang now, the largest part is the thirty hectares of fertile land, although it is on the edge of Guzhuang, it is not listed in the family field book, it is not a family field. In addition, the clansmen who were allocated the land of the six-room clan back then all made up the silver at the current price, and the land bought in other places with this money was naturally not the clan land. There is also a grange in Xishan Village, Pingyin County, which was also bought by the uncle of the Nie family and given to his nephew's daughter to marry, and it is not a six-room public property. In this way, there is not a single acre of clan land under the name of Liufang, and the fields are all private property!

This situation is beneficial to Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi, after all, Brother Kang is still young and weak, in case something happens in the future, the sixth room will be cut off again, and the family property will be handed back to the clan again. The ancestors and grandchildren had had enough of suffering, so they used this confusing method to replace the clan land with a private field, so as not to be restrained in the future.

However, in the eyes of the people in the ninth room, it would be a bit unkind for the sixth room to do this. Originally, Brother Kang was the rightful heir, so he should inherit the property of the Liufang family. Now that this inheritance is greatly discounted, if Wen Yi, the real lady of the sixth room, marries in the future, and uses all the fields and properties as a dowry, then what will Brother Kang do? !

Wen Yi frowned and said, "I don't know who is sowing discord here!" The granddaughter thinks that the sixth brother, the eleventh brother, and the younger brother are very close to us, but there are some changes in the people below. But this matter can't be considered, in case someone has been talking in the ear of the sixth brother for many years, and they will have a relationship with us in the future, what will my grandmother do?! ”

Old Madam Lu smiled coldly: "I know it in my heart!" Based on what they say and what to do, I have a point! They said that I was guarding against Kang Ge'er and them, so I was on guard! How do I know what will happen to a four-year-old child? Besides, now that the nine rooms are poor and the six rooms are rich, there is always a heart to guard against others. Shengmien, Doumiqiu, let's treat people well, but also keep an eye on it, so as not to raise a white-eyed wolf! ”

Wen Yi knew that her stubborn temper had been committed again, so she opened her mouth to persuade her, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the topic and talked about visiting the patient tomorrow.

After finishing speaking, Wen Yi exited the main room and stood under the porch and thought silently for a while. Shisu walked over from the front yard and said with a smile: "Miss is here?" Call the slave easy to find! The people in the tailor shop, the sizes of several young masters have been measured, but the number of clothes they reported is different from what we said, and there are several pieces missing, so they sent someone to ask, which number is it to do? ”

Wen Yi's heart moved, and he said: "Let's do what we said, and when it's done, just separate Kang Ge'er's list from the list of the ninth room." ”

Zi Su looked puzzled: "Why is this?" How much trouble is that?! ”

"Just do as I tell you." Wen Yi turned around and walked in the direction of the backyard, and after a while, he arrived at the West Wing, where the Wen Shunwen brothers usually read and write. When she walked to the window, she stopped, looked back and forth, and saw that no one was there, so she listened to the sound inside, and sure enough, she heard Wen Quan saying to Wen Shun: "...... I couldn't wear last year's clothes, and my sixth uncle and grandmother and ninth sister wanted to make new clothes for us, why didn't my brother refuse? Only do one, and the people in the school will laugh at it. ”

Wen Shun said in a deep voice: "What did I say yesterday? Have you forgotten?! The sixth uncle and grandmother love us, and we are grateful, but we can't be cheeky and pretend that it's okay! The situation in the sixth room, we know in our hearts, the sixth uncle and grandmother and your ninth sister haven't made a few new clothes by themselves, how can we get past them?! Besides, if the two aunts came over to say it before, haven't you forgotten? If they see that the sixth uncle and grandmother love us, they stick to the autumn wind, won't they affect the sixth uncle and grandmother and your ninth sister?! They treat us well, and we should be grateful in our hearts! Although our family is poorer now, we still have a few pieces of clothes, and there are a few padded jackets I made last year, and there are two left, which are half-new, and you can just take them and wear them, and they won't make people laugh. ”

Wen Quan obediently responded: "Then I'll go and tell the sixth uncle and grandmother that I won't make new clothes this year!" ”

Wen Shun listened to it funny: "Then the sixth uncle and grandmother should be annoyed!" It was given by the elders, so don't lose the number of courtesies. Let's just let the needle and thread people do less in private. ”

Wen Yi listened to it outside, and she was a little glad that her grandmother and her vision were not too bad, and the brothers in the ninth room were all good, and she was not afraid that they would be ungrateful in the future.

Dan'er's somewhat hesitant voice came from behind him: "Miss Nine? Why are you here? The people in the wing room suddenly panicked, and the sound of tables and chairs colliding came. Wen Yi turned around and smiled at Dan'er, then raised her feet and entered the side room, saying, "It's me." I just heard the words of the tailors, and I didn't understand it, so I came to ask what was going on, but I didn't expect to hear the words of the sixth brother. ”

Wen Shun's face was flushed, and Wen Quan also lowered his head and stood at the table at a loss. Wen Yi simply walked over and said straight to the point: "Sixth brother, eleventh brother, we are brothers and sisters now, what can't we say directly?" If any of the elders have wronged you, you should also tell my grandmother that you should not go outside. ”

Wen Shun blushed and said, "It's a joke for the ninth sister...... They're always elders......"

Wen Yi understands that there is another reason, that is, they are all elders of the ninth room! My grandmother is a person in the sixth room, but it is not good to meddle too much. So she asked: "Sixth brother, what kind of person I am, you brothers all know, I have something I want to ask you, but I'm afraid that the sixth brother will misunderstand." ”

Wen Shun hesitated for a moment: "What are you saying?" ”

Wen Yi stared at him with straight eyes: "The house of the ninth room has been built for more than a month, and the spiritual seats of the fifteenth uncle and fifteenth aunt are also enshrined there, my grandmother has prepared the silver early and wants to make furniture for you, why hasn't the sixth brother mentioned this matter for a long time?!" ”

Wen Shun's face turned white, and Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Look, I'll just say that Sixth Brother will misunderstand." I'm not chasing you, I just want to ask, didn't the sixth brother listen to someone's gossip, so he refused to ask for our family's silver?! ”

Wen Shun's eyes were red and his head hung down, and his voice was almost inaudible: "I will...... Enough money to make ...... Otherwise...... It's okay to find some coarse old furniture...... I can't ask you to spend money anymore...... "If he accepts this money, those uncles and aunts will definitely come to fight the autumn breeze, and if the silver is not enough to spend, he will have to borrow it from the sixth uncle and grandmother in the end, so that he is not so thick-skinned......

Wen Yi sighed: "This is because the sixth brother has a lot of heart. Actually, what is this? Just send an IOU, and let it be as if the money was lent to your brother by our family, and then it will be over? In the future, when your family recovers, you can return it to us. Someone wants to take advantage of you, so they will take it back! If it's really inconvenient, I'll ask the people below to directly change the silver for the furniture, saying that it was lent to you, is it possible that someone still hits the furniture in the autumn wind?! ”

Wen Shun hesitated, and his face looked better: "Then I have to be cheeky and borrow a few pieces of furniture from the ninth sister......

Wen Yi smiled: "Then it's decided?" You don't have to put the wine in the house, you are still in the filial piety, but when you clean up the house, remember to leave a room for Brother Kang. ”

Wen Shun was overjoyed, and then hesitated again: "This ...... Don't people gossip? He was a little sad, "Seventeenth brother...... It's already the heir of the sixth room......"

Wen Yi snorted: "Which one said he wasn't?" I'm just afraid of other people's gossip, so I asked you to leave a room for him! Then he explained: "Didn't you say a few days ago that the gentlemen in the clan studies are not very competent, and many of the children of the clan are planning to go to other academies to study? It's hard for you to leave home in filial piety, so my grandmother thought, if I can visit one or two good gentlemen, please come to the house to teach you a lesson, Brother Kang is almost at the age of enlightenment, you should prepare earlier. But most of our family are women, and it is inconvenient to invite my husband from outside. It's better to let Mr. go to your side, and let Brother Kang go back and forth to school every day, it's cheaper. Besides, Brother Kang has been weak since he was a child, so it is also good for him to move around more every day. But if you really do that, you can simply let him eat at your place at noon, and it will be much more convenient to have a room. ”

Wen Shun was very excited when he heard this: "That's right!" I'll take someone back to clean up the house tomorrow! Ninth sister, don't worry, Brother Kang came to our house to study, I will take good care of him! will also guide him in his homework with his heart and don't make him lazy! At this moment, he only felt how ridiculous the suspicions and criticisms of those aunts and aunts were, and Liufang thought of this step for Brother Kang, would he still make him an empty heir?! They're just jealous! He became more and more vigilant in his heart, and decided not to listen to them say half a bad word about Liufang in the future! There are also people in the family, and they must also be strictly controlled!

Wen Yi smiled slightly, discussed with him for a while, and said that he would go back and let people go to the new house in the ninth room to check what furniture he needed, so that someone could send it, and then turned around and left.

Back in her room, there was no one around, and she put away the smile on her face.

The Wenshun brothers moved back to the ninth room, and those people from the ninth room could only go there to talk to them. Both of them are already sensible at an age, and they have experienced the funeral of their parents, and they have a certain judgment on who treats them well and who hides treachery in their hearts, but Wenkang is different, he is still young, and he must not be affected by those gossip. She can stop the people of the partial tribe, but she can't stop the people of the ninth room, so she simply isolates them......

She sighed in her heart: for the sake of her grandmother's future, she had to think about it......
