Chapter 818: Daoist Cousin 2
From the mouth of the second wife, Jia Huan knew that he also had a cousin.
knew that this outcast cousin and his cousin Jia Yu were twin brothers.
I also learned that these two people were not Mrs. Hou's biological children, but children who went to their mothers to keep their children.
The biological mother of the two brothers is a fertility tool specially prepared by Mrs. Hou for herself.
Mrs. Hou's body could not conceive a child, so she prepared a tool man for herself early in the morning.
There are many nights when Mrs. Hou gets drunk and asks the tool man to serve Hou Ye.
The tool man didn't know Mrs. Hou's tools, and thought that she was also Hou Ye's woman, and later became Hou Ye's aunt, gave birth to children, and became half of the master of Hou Mansion, calling slaves and maids.
When it was confirmed that the tool man was pregnant, Mrs. Hou pretended that she was also pregnant.
When she was about to give birth, Mrs. Hou took the tool man to her dowry Zhuangzi, and after the tool gave birth to a child, she made a black hand to the tool man.
Mrs. Hou returned to the Hou Mansion with the child born by the tool, but she didn't expect that the tool man had a child in her belly.
The man who collected the body of the tool man found that the child in the belly of the corpse was still alive, so he dug the child out of the tool man's belly.
This corpse collector is an old woman with no children and no daughters, who has the heart to adopt a child and raise it for her own death.
The old woman then took the children away from the capital and settled down in her hometown in the northwest, a village.
But the old woman did not live for a few years, and when the child was six years old, the old woman died.
Fortunately, not long after her death, the child was adopted by an old Taoist priest in the mountains near the village.
The old Taoist priest said that the child was very wise and accepted the child as his disciple.
More than ten years later, the old Taoist priest died, and the child named Qingxu inherited the Taoist temple, although it was a very broken and small Taoist temple.
But at least the child had a place to live, an acre of land, and could feed himself.
And he was found because a clansman from the Hou Mansion went to the northwest to do business, passed by the mountain in the middle of the night, went to the Taoist temple to spend the night, and saw a little Taoist priest who looked exactly like the prince Jia Yu.
The clansmen were very surprised, and they always felt that the little Taoist priest of Qingxu was likely to have something to do with the Hou Mansion.
After returning to the capital, he told Hou Ye about it.
Hou Ye also felt that something was wrong, so he sent his henchmen to investigate the little Taoist priest of Qingxu.
The henchmen followed the line of the old woman who adopted the little Taoist priest of Qingxu to find Mrs. Hou's dowry Zhuangzi, found the tool man, and found a series of designs of Mrs. Hou.
Hou Ye was furious and went to find Mrs. Hou to verify.
In the face of the evidence, Mrs. Hou could not deny it, so she could only admit it.
Hou Ye sent someone to the northwest to pick up the little Taoist priest of Qingxu.
After all, it is the bloodline of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye can't let it go outside.
And this matter spread in the Hou Mansion, and the aunts and concubines of the big house jumped up.
They think that the prince is not a concubine, but a child born to an unidentified woman, and his status is not even as high as that of the concubine, so why should he be the son of the Hou Mansion?
They all want to be the heirs of the Hou Mansion themselves.
Hou Yehehe.
Hou Ye is not a person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, and he will not allow the concubine to jump on Mrs. Hou's head because Mrs. Hou has done something wrong - after all, Mrs. Hou's maiden family is no worse than the Hou Mansion.
The son of the family is recorded in the genealogy as the son of Mrs. Hou, so he is the son-in-law.
A named son-in-law is also a son-in-law.
The most important thing is that the prince was carefully raised by the Hou Ye, and he is very satisfied with his son-in-law, much more satisfied than with his other sons.
And the son-in-law is still the prince's companion, only this important identity, it is impossible for the prince to deprive him of his status as the son.
Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou discussed, and said to the outside world that the little Taoist priest was weak when he was born, and he was afraid that he would die early.
A Taoist master told his fortune and said that he could only grow up healthily if he was born and practiced.
In order for the child to survive, Hou Ye and Hou
Even if the lady is reluctant, she can only let her son be taken away by the Taoist.
Now, twenty years later, the child has grown up healthy.
Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou took people back to the capital, thinking that it was best for people to return to the vulgar and marry wives and have children.
Hou Ye issued a gag order in the mansion, and he was not allowed to say anything about the origin of Jia Yu and the little Taoist priest of Qingxu, otherwise he would not be spared.
Naturally, the people in the house didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
Although the aunts and concubines in the big house were not convinced, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Hou Ye, so they could only stop fighting.
But the unhappiness in their hearts is to be vented.
They can't do anything to the prince, after all, the prince controls the network power that is stronger than all of them.
They are no match for the Son of the Prince.
The other person is the one they are venting to.
A little Taoist priest from a small place in the countryside has no connections and no ability, so he doesn't let them bully him?
Unless the prince wants to stand up for his own brother.
But will the Prince?
I guess he doesn't like this brother who exposed his true identity.
If there was no such younger brother, he would have always been the sister-in-law of the Hou Mansion and the envy of everyone.
Where has become identity awkward as it is now.
I guess I hate this person to death.
The concubines who thought like this all sharpened their knives, waiting for the little Taoist priest to return home, first give him a dismount, and then bully him in various ways.
I've seen enough drama here in the second room.
The second lady was so happy.
She has always been at odds with Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou has always looked down on the second lady who was born in the imperial merchant because of her good background, and often said that the second lady smells of copper.
The second lady hated Mrs. Hou very much, and this time she was finally able to see Mrs. Hou's jokes, and the second lady ate an extra bowl for a month in a row.
If it weren't for the fear of offending Hou Ye, she would still want people to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
The second lady pulled Jia Huan to watch the joke together.
Or the second lady likes Jia Huan's son the most.
Although the eldest son is very good, the eldest son is only focused on studying and outside affairs, and he can't talk to the second lady.
But Jia Huan was able to accompany the second lady to share gossip.
The second lady naturally favored Jia Huan's youngest son.
The second lady didn't care how good her son was, and reflected that with the family business of the Hou Mansion, her son would live well if he split up in the future.
The second lady cares more about whether her son is intimate with herself.
The eldest son was not intimate, but after marrying his daughter-in-law, he was more dedicated to his daughter-in-law, and the second lady was even more dissatisfied, and her heart was more inclined to the younger son.
Her private property, the second lady actually hid a part, which was left to her youngest son Jia Huan in the future.
Jia Huan knew the arrangement of the second lady, and was grateful to his mother in this life.
Every time I returned to the Hou Mansion, most of the time was spent accompanying the second lady.
"Huan'er, come on, I've made your favorite coupling."
The second lady beckoned to Jia Huan.
Jia Huan stepped forward with a smile and sat down beside the second lady.
"Mother, I heard that the Qingxu Xiaodao Elder has entered the city?!"
