After a while, Mrs. Lu picked up the tea bowl again and took a sip. smiled: "Why don't you speak?" If you want to say kiss, you must always ask someone to understand these things. Although I can trust my eldest sister-in-law, and I also know that my third nephew will never do anything to deliberately cheat my aunt and niece, but I have to let me know who my granddaughter is going to marry and who is the in-laws, right? ”

Liu Gu hesitated for a moment, and said categorically: "Fang Cai's mother is wrong, Dongxing is not from Changfang, he was originally a child of a partial branch, but he is a ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't continue. Old Madam Yu was staring at her with a pair of eyes, and she didn't know how long she lost her smile.

Liu Gu knew that her words would hurt her mother's face somewhat, but if she wanted her to tell the identity of Liu Kuan, the father of Liu Dongxing, as the eldest son, she would not be able to open her mouth no matter what. But if she said that Liu Kuan was a concubine, Liu Dongxing would be in the blue yarn cupboard, no matter how stupid he was, he would not be stupid enough to acquiesce to this identity, and when the time came, he would run out and shout, how could she refute it? ! This kind of thing is not a secret in the Liu clan at all, and it is easy for Liufang to find out, and he can't stop all the insiders. When the matter gets out, it's still her who will lose face! The reason why the sixth aunt asked her this question was originally because her mother accidentally said something for a while, and her mother had always loved her, but now she was just saving face for her, and she would not be blamed in the future.

Old Madam Yu noticed the gazes of the two nieces and daughters-in-law in the next room on her face, and the annoyance in her heart was almost irrepressible. She didn't approve of her daughter's approach, and denounced it as "covering her ears and stealing the bell", but now her daughter didn't say hello, so she put the black pot on her head, so how can she not be annoyed? ! This is not just a sentence of "accidentally said the wrong thing" can be mixed up, if you want to get married, the three generations of ancestors must explain clearly, otherwise after the newcomer is completed, Wen Yi knows the truth from the people of the Heng'an Liu clan and passes the word back, does she still have a reputation in the clan? ! In fact, today, even if the daughter tells Liu Dongxing's life experience the truth, it is not a big problem, the in-law Mrs. Yao has clearly corrected it after the death of Mrs. Rong, and the eldest son is gone early, and the inheritance of the son-in-law can be said to be justified! Now to be honest, the daughter and son-in-law are just asking people to gossip in the name of "eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law", so why hide it and appear to be weak-hearted? ! Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to ask someone to expose it in the future?! The sixth room is the daughter's family, and now I say it. It's just that the clan knows that if even the clansmen are hidden, the family affairs can't be done, and Liu Dongxing will marry outside in the future, and the matter will still spread out, and then the daughter will be disgraced and thrown outside!

This thought flashed through the old lady's mind, and she immediately said: "The father of the child in the east was also the grandson of the Liu family, but he divided the property and lived separately many years ago, so although the east is a child of the side branch, it is a real long-term bloodline. After a pause, seeing the aggrieved look on her daughter's face, she finally relented, "I didn't explain it, but the sixth brother and sister misunderstood." ”

Liu Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put on his smiling face again, and said, "Yes, yes! The child's parents went early, so he has lived in front of our husband and wife since he was a child, and others think that he is our child, but in fact, he has long been separated......"

Old Madam Lu smiled faintly and asked, "I see." But...... Since his father is also of the Changfang bloodline, but he has separated from the family, I don't know if he is a concubine or a concubine? You probably know that, too. Although our family has a small population, we have been descendants from generation to generation, and the sixth aunt is a layman, so I really can't change this worldly opinion! ”

Liu Gu's face was red and white for a while, and he had already begun to regret mentioning this family, and he couldn't help but look at his mother again. But to her disappointment, Mrs. Yu said three words very calmly this time: "It's a concubine." Liu Gu secretly gritted her teeth, as if she had noticed the suspicious gazes of four or five cousins-in-law, and she unwillingly defended: "Dongxing's father is a good descendant, but this is all a matter of the older generation, and the family has been separated, so it's really not good for us to say much as the younger generation!" Trying to imply that Liu Dongxing's lineage was separated from his grandfather's generation.

Liu Dongxing listened clearly in the blue gauze cupboard, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with a sarcastic curvature. Wen An next to him was confused, and asked him in a low voice: "When you chatted with me last time, didn't you say that you ...... with him" glanced at Liu Dongning on the other side, "...... Is it a grandfather? The more my aunt's words are spoken, the more incomprehensible people become, since you are a grandson, your father is also a grandfather, and Uncle Liu is the eldest son, then you should call Uncle Liu an uncle? Why do you call him uncle? But if you count it according to your aunt's words, you are not a grandfather, you won't even admit your ancestors, right?! After a pause, he smiled evilly: "Could it be that my aunt said that your father was a concubine in order to make you more decent when you said that you were married?" Actually, your father is the eldest son, right? The gossip outside is all spreading! ”

Liu Dongxing said with a straight face: "Brother An, I know that you all think I'm not smart, but no matter how stupid I am, I don't recognize the reason of my grandfather." And his father is a concubine. How could I not know? Even when my parents passed away, I was still young, but the elders of the clan were clear, and the genealogy was clearly written! What am I trying to do with this?! He already somewhat understood Mrs. Lu's intentions, although her approach would bring variables to this family business, it would be more beneficial to him, as long as the second aunt clarified his identity in front of these many people, the rumors of the so-called eldest son and illegitimate child would become empty talk, I am afraid that in less than three days, Gu Zhuang will know that he Liu Dongxing is the eldest grandson of the Liu family! As soon as his name is right, there will be no hindrance when he says that he is married.

But he understood this, but Wen An didn't understand, and became more and more confused: "What did my aunt say...... What's going on? After thinking about it, he got impatient, "Just say it!" You brothers, were you born from a grandfather? What is your father's relationship?! ”

Liu Dongxing opened his mouth and replied: "Naturally, it was from a grandfather, but it was just ......."

"Brother!" Liu Dongning couldn't hold back any longer, and opened his mouth to interrupt his cousin's words, his face was red and white for a while, and when he saw Liu Dongxing turn his head to look at him, he knew that he was at a loss, and he couldn't help but lower his head. Since he was a child, he only knew that Liu Dongxing was his cousin. What is the specific life experience, but I have never heard my parents mention it, but there are many children in the Liu family's house, and some old servants are not without gossip about what the master mother did in private, Liu Dongning has also heard a few words, and naturally guessed a few points in his heart, so when he saw that Liu Dongxing was going to tell the truth, he couldn't help but interrupt. However, as soon as he interrupted, he began to regret it, after all. No matter how he ordered people to spread gossip outside, he never distorted his life experience in front of Liu Dongxing, he spoke out at this time, how should he deal with it next?

Wen An had already seen that Liu Dongning was not pleasing to the eye, and at this time, he saw him interrupting Liu Dongxing's words, and then he didn't say anything, his face was different, and he clearly had a ghost in his heart! He sneered and asked, "Why are you stopping Brother Dongxing from talking to me?" Is there something about you that no one should know? You're still a famous kid! Who are the fathers and ancestors, and what is there to hide?! Brother Dongxing is frank and unrestrained, but you, the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson of the long house, act sneaky! It's so contemptible! ”

Liu Dongning's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, but he closed his teeth tightly and didn't spit out a word. Seeing this, Liu Dongxing almost smiled sarcastically, but he finally remembered that the big thing was important, so he endured it and shut up, only listening to the movement outside.

Outside, in the Xinuan Pavilion, there was silence again. Fang Cai Wen'an's words have faintly spread outside, Liu Gu has a lot of hatred in his heart, but he is not good at scolding his nephew in front of his mother, but his face is very ugly, and he has already regretted it, he chose such a time to propose marriage, if there is only one mother in the house, where do you need to worry so much? !

Old Madam Lu still didn't seem to see her face, but just looked at Old Madam Yu: "So, is it a side branch that has long been separated?" Can the three nieces be in charge of this family business? In our Gu family, when this kind of thing happens, how can the elders of the clan have to speak, right? Although the third nephew's daughter is the wife of the patriarch, she is only the aunt in the next room after all, and she can really make up her mind about the marriage of the child in the east? Don't let her say it, there are elders on Heng'an's side to say goodbye to Dongxing, it will be ugly. I only have this one granddaughter. I can't bear to let her be wronged! ”

Liu Gu's expression slowed down a little, and as soon as he raised his head, he was about to answer, but Old Madam Yu was afraid that she would say the wrong thing again, so she hurriedly said: "Although the Dongxing family has divided their property and lived separately, after all, it is the blood of the long house, his parents went early, and they lived in the long house at a young age, and your niece and nephew-in-law are the closest relatives of his blood, and they are the elders of the clan, and they will not deny this." Brothers and sisters can rest assured! After that, he glanced at the two nieces and nephews, saw that their eyes flickered, and seemed to have understood a little, and then looked at his daughter, and saw that her face was flushed, and she was very ashamed, and she couldn't help but feel some remorse in her heart. She sighed secretly, and planned to change the topic: "The children's family affairs can't be decided in a few words after all, let's discuss it another day." When the sixth brother and sister came, they said that they had something important to discuss with me, but I don't know what it was? ”

Old Madam Lu glanced at her, then nodded indifferently and said, "Sister-in-law is reasonable. In that case, you should ask your niece to write her nephew's post and send it to my house, so that I can read it carefully and then reply. She curled the corners of her mouth, "Sister-in-law, I asked a few more questions just now, don't be annoyed." It's not that I don't believe you, it's really only this granddaughter, and she naturally has to be careful in family affairs, comparing her heart to her heart, and my sister-in-law's family affairs for her own children, I'm afraid that I am a little more nervous than me! I can definitely trust my sister-in-law's personality, no matter what, there are still a few juniors watching, my sister-in-law has no reason, how can she coax our grandparents and grandchildren? ”

Liu Gu's face became more and more ugly, and the old lady Yu still calmed down: "Brother and sister, what we say is right, we old women, we have lived for dozens of years, and those who are about to enter the ground, aren't they just our children and grandchildren?" After that, he smiled and said, "The sixth brother and sister haven't explained their intentions yet, what is the big deal?" ”

Mrs. Lu knew that the heat should not be too much, and if she was too anxious, her granddaughter's family affairs might be lost. Although she doesn't value Liu Dongxing, her granddaughter is mostly willing, the child has her own mind, she is a grandmother, and it is not easy to make her own opinions, you need to know that the twisted melon is not sweet!

So she re-talked about her purpose for today: "When I made trouble in the middle of the night last night, I heard that there were twenty or thirty people here, and they all made trouble again. Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been little rain, and there has been famine in several places nearby. We rely on the Taiping River, and we can get by, but in the area of Pingyin, because our in-laws are there, we wrote a letter saying that it is getting more and more unpeaceful! The best good land is good, but the second class land can hardly grow food! There are more and more homeless people, and there are people who are making trouble in it, and they want to do that great rebellion! Fortunately, Pingyin County was clever and pressed down, but the first evil has not yet been caught. As soon as I heard that there were so many people who came yesterday, I remembered it. Speaking of which, our Gu Zhuang and Pingyin are not far away, those people ...... Could it be that we had the idea? Guzhuang is not like the city and county, it is surrounded by city walls, and the terrain around is open, and the east side is next to the mountain! If those bandits really come to the door, we may not be able to stop it! I still told them to organize Zhuang Ding outside earlier, and patrol a few more times at night, just in case......"

Wen Yi listened to her grandmother's voice outside the cupboard, knowing that she couldn't settle the family affairs today, she said that she couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or relieved, but she always felt that the former had more ingredients. But when she thought about it, she felt ashamed again, when did this happen? She's still thinking about it!

She couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes to glance at Liu Dongxing opposite, the latter's disappointment was almost clearly on her face, and her eyes also swept over, staring at her. She couldn't help blushing and twisted her head, but she was thinking in her heart: She was really stunned, how could she think that Liu Dongxing's eyes were very pitiful?!

Outside the blue yarn cupboard, Mrs. Lu had already finished talking about her intentions, and Liu Gu was in a bad mood, so she was a little impatient at this time: "The sixth aunt is too careful!" Not to mention that the drought in Pingyin County has not yet reached that point, even if there is, it is far away! Is there really someone who wants to make trouble, leave Pingyin County and the surrounding villages and towns alone, and go more than 100 miles away to beat us Guzhuang? Who would do such a foolish thing?! Although Guzhuang has no city walls, it is only a few miles away from Pingyang Mansion City? Before the bandits arrived, the officers and soldiers in the city arrived first! They didn't rob, they came to die! She stretched out her hand and stroked her hair bun, and said casually: "Aunt Six, don't worry, I know who came yesterday, didn't you come for Jingcheng?" Jing Cheng's kid already knew, and said that when he returned the table and did his best, he would set off for the south as soon as possible. Naturally, it will be too peaceful at that time. ”

Old Madam Lu ignored her, and just said to the old lady: "I don't mean that those people must be bandits, but be careful, there is no big mistake, and let the nephews assign domestic servants, Zhuang Ding or tenants, and patrol a few more times at night, so that we can be more at ease." Not to mention anything else, now that the year is not good, there are homeless people everywhere, who knows if anyone will see Gu Zhuang is rich, sneak in at night, the owner steals some silver, the west steals some jewelry, and it is always our own family who suffers, right? ”

Liu Gu was about to speak, but Old Madam Yu glanced at her quickly before choking her back. Old Madam Yu stared at the old lady with both eyes, looked at it for a while, and then smiled: "This is right, it's hard for my younger brother and sister to think thoughtfully, then I'll let the old 2 explain." Not only patrolling at night, but also saying hello to the government office, in any case, this kind of thing still depends on the officers and soldiers to come forward......"

Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this in the blue gauze cupboard.
