Master Ming led Chen Hongshen and Ming Ya to kowtow to the portraits of their ancestors and tell them happy events.

There are only three generations of the Ming family in Xicheng, and there are only three ancestral portraits hanging on the wall: the first old lady, the old lady Ming Feng and the second old lady Mingluan.

Then, Master Ming took the two back to the flower hall, and Chen Hongshen and Ming Ya officially recognized each other.

The so-called recognition of relatives is to kowtow to the elders.

Chen Hongshen is a scholar, and the gifts he gives to readers are inseparable from pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, calligraphy and paintings.

The recognition gift given by the master of the Ming Dynasty is a pair of jade paperweights of excellent color, the recognition gift of the second master of the Ming Dynasty is a set of four treasures of the best study, and the third master of the Ming Dynasty is a set of "Four Books Annotations".

Minghui's meeting gift is a Chengni inkstone prepared by Minghui for her, which was given to Mingda by Minghui when she came back from Luoyang last time, and Minghui liked it very much, and he was reluctant to use it, and this time it was given to his son-in-law by Minghui's hand.

Mingda took the lead, took a group of younger brothers and sisters, and a "second brother-in-law" to ask Chen Hongshen for reward, Chen Hongshen took out the red that had been prepared a long time ago and distributed it to everyone, even Brother Jiu'er, who was held by the nurse.

Minghui is envious, she is actually younger than Mingya, and she should also take Feng Hong, but now, she can only sit upright and be an old aunt with a serious face.

The Ming family was rejoicing, but the Wu family was already arguing.

The eldest lady didn't guess wrong, the second room of the Wu family got the news, and more than 20 people, old and young, all came over.

Before the old lady in the second room entered the door, she howled and cried, and the entire Wu family alley was crying.

Aunt Wu hid in the house and asked the eldest lady to go out to deal with it, and as soon as the eldest lady persuaded her, the second old lady slapped her: "The people of the Wu family are not dead yet, where is your turn to be pointed at by a married aunt?" When did the people of the Ming family also come to take care of the affairs of the Wu family? What kind of thing are you, just because you marry well, you go back to your parents' house to take care of the world? Phew! ”

The eldest lady was stunned, the Wu family has always regarded herself as a scholarly family, and she is a clan woman in the Ming family, where did she receive this?

The eldest lady even knew what to say, but the second old lady was still angry, and spit on the eldest lady's face: "What about your sister-in-law?" Let her come out, with what benefits can her family go, but it is my grandson who loses his life? Why? If you don't make this matter clear today, don't think about it! ”

The second old lady pointed to her children and grandchildren: "What are you doing there with useless things?" Smash it for me, smash everything in this house, I don't believe that Brother Tong's mother's mourning star won't come out! ”

Brother Tong's mother is Aunt Wu, on weekdays, she is most worried about the second old lady, and now the second old lady is knocking on the door, but all the men in the family are not there, only a sister-in-law, and a useless waste, how dare Aunt Wu come out and touch it, only shrink in the inner room and dare not move.

The people in the second room outside smashed it indiscriminately, and the third daughter-in-law in the second room lifted a pastel bottle and was about to smash it on the ground, and the eldest lady hurriedly went over: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this bottle is not cheap, it can't be smashed." ”

She didn't say that it was okay, but when she said this, the third daughter-in-law threw the bottle at her: "A bottle is not cheap, but my nephew's life is cheap?" ”

The eldest lady felt something run down her forehead, and she touched it, and it was hot, blood.

The eldest lady rolled her eyes and fainted.

The eldest lady was sent back by the people in the second room, and the second old lady ordered that the eldest lady was already married and was from the Ming family, not the Wu family, so the Ming family should be sent back to the Ming family, let the Ming family discipline them, and don't go back to their parents' house to criticize them if they have nothing to do.

These days, the third master and the two aunts of the Ming family have been lifted, and the Ming family is out of the limelight, not to mention that Chen Hongshen is the sixth in the Beizhili Township test, as long as there is no accident, a Jinshi will not be able to run in the spring next year.

Therefore, today, Ming Ya returned to the door of the three dynasties, in addition to the Ming family's own people, the Ming family in Dongcheng, together with the people who were related to the Ming family, all found an excuse to come over and join in the fun, and took this opportunity to get acquainted with Chen Hongshen, the Chen family is an official, Chen's father is a Beijing official, even if Chen Hongshen can't get into the jinshi, he is also the son of the official family, and he will make a steady profit by befriending him.

The eldest lady was sent back by the people in the second room of the Wu family in full view, and the two old women who sent her back stood at the door of the Ming family, and their voices were like a loud bell: "The eldest wife of the Ming family interfered in the affairs of the Wu family, and the etiquette was not in agreement, and asked the master of the Ming family to deal with it himself, the Ming family is a scholar, this truth knows more than us rough people, the affairs of the Ming family, our Wu family does not interfere, and the affairs of the Wu family, the Ming family also cares less, otherwise it will be sued to the government, and the Ming family will not take care of it." ”

There were a bunch of people at the door who watched the excitement, and some of them followed all the way from the alley of Wu's house, everyone pointed and pointed, some scolded the street, and some ridiculed.

Master Ming's face was gloomy, and he arched his hand at the two mothers-in-law: "Please thank the second old lady for Ming, if there is something at home today, I won't leave the two." ”

The eldest lady was carried into the backyard and called Lang Zhong to come over and bandage her wound, which was very deep and would have a scar in the future.

Sending away the Ming family in Dongcheng and those who joined in the fun, he didn't want to embarrass the old man Ming, the second old man and the third old man also said goodbye with their wives and children, and the third old man asked the third wife and two children to follow the second old man's family first, and he sent Ming Hui and Mrs. Yun back to Yuexiu Hutong.

When he arrived at Yuexiu Hutong, the third master was gossipy, pulled Minghui and asked, "Little sister, I heard from the eldest brother that Xiao Huo made a special trip from the capital to remind the Wu family to withdraw from his family, right?" ”

Minghui smiled: "It's not a special trip, he just said it by the way." ”

"It's all the same, alas, you write to Xiao Huo and tell him to let him break up the relationship with the Wu family in the capital, don't mention that it's a relative." Master Ming San said.

"What's wrong? Third brother, what have you heard? Ming Hui frowned, Master Ming San, although he is not very reliable, he has a warm heart, and he has made a lot of friends because of this.

The third master of Ming looked around thoughtfully, lowered his voice and said: "I have a friend's cousin who is a gangster, and he has been a small steward on the Fuhe wharf for a while, and their little stewards, together with the coolies who work, are all under the care of Uncle Wu.

According to him, in the past, all errands related to the river wharf were used by the Cao Gang to find people, and those people and coolies were actually managed by the Cao Gang, and the reason why they followed the Cao Gang to eat was because the Cao Gang was extremely protective of the brothers, and no one dared to deduct the wages of these brothers.

This time, Uncle Wu took over the errand of recruiting the coolies, but he bypassed the Cao Gang, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on, isn't it just to make money from it?

The people of the Cao Gang can't afford to mess with them, so don't hire them.

Uncle Wu is afraid that he still thinks he is quite smart, but he forgot, can anyone afford to mess with the Cao Gang? The Cao Gang is through the imperial court!

My friend's cousin, along with several of the little stewards, had settled the previous month's wages and quit, and according to them, they had been approached by someone who had inquired about the wharf and how much a coolie was paid.

They were scared, for fear of being implicated, so they took their wages and quit.

The cousin said that this must be someone from the Cao Gang who came to collect evidence and was ready to sue.

I didn't even say anything about this eldest brother, lest he say that I have made a lot of friends, you and Xiao Huo just need to know, and you must keep it secret for me. ”
