Chapter 152 The Nobles Before the People and the Guilty Later
Chapter 152: Men before the nobles suffer after sin
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a daughter in the family, it is not counted in the portal, that is to say, if the old couple of the Zhen family are still there, when others ask about the younger generations in the family, they must only say that there are still two sons in the family, and as for a daughter, sooner or later it will be someone else's, saying what he has done.
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhen family, the eldest is a man, and he is considered Zhen Da, there is no doubt about it, but no matter who is older and who is small, this Zhen San may only be called Zhen Er, but how can it appear in the situation, everyone knows that he is the third line?
When Zhen Huan was taken away by someone's teeth, she was already sensible, she remembered many things clearly, when she was a child, she thought that Zhen San came to this world a little earlier than herself, and it was a very depressing thing for her to call him a brother for life.
Her personality was originally very strong, Zhen Da was sensible early, when the two of them were playing crazy outside, Zhen Da had already started to run for his livelihood, and the idea of being naughty outside and often causing trouble was all made by Zhen Huan, and he also practiced it. And Zhen San plays the role of a runny heel. Not to mention that Zhen Huan said that he wanted to be the second child, that is, Zhen Huan wanted to be the boss, I am afraid that he will also blow his nose and nod his head.
In addition, the two of them are dragon and phoenix fetuses, who is big and who is small, outsiders really can't tell the difference, every time someone asks this question, Zhen Huan always says that he is big, and after a long time, the status of the third child of the Zhen family will never be able to turn over.
But when Xiaohuan arrived at Xufu, he was a little older, and he was a little lighter about the kind of thinking he had when he was a child, whether it was the second or the third, this was destined by God, what was the use of fighting for herself, although she still had some resentment in her heart for the parents who sold her, but she couldn't hate her two brothers, like himself, now renamed Yu Huan, and later called Yu Zhen's, in short, the incense of the Yu Zhen family has no benefit, but it is inheriting the ancestral incense and prospering the family business, But it's a matter of these two brothers.
The two returned to the house, and the sister-in-law Qi saw that the uncle went out for a trip, and actually brought back the sister-in-law who had not been seen for a long time, naturally she was very enthusiastic, and this sister-in-law has not helped the village in the past two years.
Seeing them come in, there were a few servants behind her, just to do things with her sister-in-law to sit at home, she immediately put down the work in her hand, Zhang Luo boiled water to make tea, a maid behind Xiaohuan, also followed, said anything to help, seeing the attitude of this maid, she only reacted slightly, this followed her sister-in-law to the house, it seems that it is not the same thing as she imagined.
"Big brother is still doing things on the dock and hasn't come back?" When the two siblings sat down, they naturally wanted to talk about homely things.
"Hmm!" Zhen San saw that those people didn't enter the house and talked to his sister-in-law, so he was naturally a little bolder, and he continued the topic that his sister said just now: "What kind of person is my brother-in-law, why don't you bring it back to see, Xiaohuan, you have such a big thing, why don't you know that you will be at home!" ”
Although he knows that his sister-in-law's deed of sale is in the hands of others, this sister is already a member of someone else's family de jure, but this flesh and blood affection is constantly parted, he said this, although he seems to complain a little about Xiaohuan, but he cares more.
"My official is an official in a foreign country, how can I inform my family for a while!" Xiaohuan said, "However, this matter has not been handled much, and when the time comes, the two brothers will still have to go!" ”
Xiaohuan naturally won't say that her identity is a little difficult to say now, but, in her opinion, it will be a matter of time before Yu Feng marries her and enters the door, if her master doesn't like herself, then she doesn't believe it herself, besides, the master is such a big official, is it abnormal to have three wives and four concubines? Accepting a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, it is an official eunuch's family, and a small sedan chair is quietly carried into the door, but she is confident that she can get such a face in Yu Feng.
Saying this, Zhen San also understood in his heart, but he was afraid that his sister-in-law was not being married by other people's media, but was being a child for others. Where is the marriage that the media is marrying is not handled and made up afterwards, however, this depression is also fleeting, and then he is happy again, his brother-in-law is an official, and that sister is a lady of the official eunuch's family, which is better than being a maid who serves people, I don't know where it is.
He is really happy for his sister, in this way, the sister can be regarded as a positive result, and can be a concubine of the official eunuch family, in this area, I don't know how many people envy such a good thing, and then look, the sister is rich, and she will go home immediately, this is to help her mother's family, the Zhen family has such a daughter, if the father and mother are still there, I don't know how happy it will be.
"Far away?" He asked with some concern, this is far away, it is even more difficult to see the sister, in the past, you could go home once or twice a year, but in the future, I am afraid that you may not be able to see it once a year.
"Well, in Shandong!"
Knowing his sister's current identity, Zhen San's restraint seemed to gradually come back, he wanted to ask directly, his brother-in-law's official son is not big, is it good for his sister or not, but he can't ask these words, it doesn't make much sense to ask, it's not good for his sister, what can he do, and finally close the door and listen to his sister who went home say a few words of grievance.
Fortunately, Xiaohuan also knows the heart of his fellow brother very well, and when he saw him ask, he said very understandingly: "He is a guerrilla general in Dengzhou, Shandong, and he is still very fond of me, brother, you don't have to worry!" ”
"Shandong town guard guerrilla general!" Zhen San read it again, and felt that this official seemed to be very big.
"It's the guerrilla general of Dengzhou, Shandong!" Xiaohuan corrected angrily: "The one who guards Shandong, that is called the Shandong General Army, that is the first-rank member of the imperial court, and your brother-in-law is also a guerrilla general from the fourth-rank!" ”
"From the fourth grade!" This time Zhen San has a concept, a county is the seventh grade, he knows this, this is from the fourth grade, it is many levels bigger than the county, such a big official, he has heard it in the mouth of the storyteller, it really belongs to the legendary character.
However, he immediately became worried, such a big official, there must be a lot of wives and concubines in the family, my sister is over there, life may not be easy, don't look at the sister back to shine, I am afraid that I have suffered a lot of grievances behind me, as the saying goes, if you want to be noble in front of people, then you will suffer after being punished. Although he didn't know much, he knew this truth.
The two of them are chattering here, Zhen San talks about trivial matters at home, and occasionally asks Xiaohuan about some small things in her current life, time flies, only to hear a commotion outside, and sister-in-law Qi's slightly surprised voice came in from outside: "Daqi, you are back, you two guys, why can't you go home after school, and go to the dock to annoy your father!" ”
A childish voice sounded: "We're not bothering Daddy, we're helping Daddy!" ”
"Is this a guest at home?" Zhen Da let go of the hand holding his son, looked at some people sitting in the side room, confirmed that none of them knew, and asked his wife with some doubts.
"It's not an outsider either!" Qi replied with a smile: "It's Xiaohuan who is back, that's the person she brought!" ”
"Big brother!"
While talking, Xiaohuan and Zhen San heard movement in the room and immediately walked out.
Zhen Da was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Xiaohuan!" He lowered his head and said to his two sons, "Didn't you shout all day long to see your aunt?" Don't come forward to call someone! ”
"Auntie, aunt!" The two and a half children are not restrained, and the father who listened to the scolding had already been called, and every time my aunt came home, she always brought them a lot of delicious and fun things, and they had a very good impression of this aunt.
"Alright, alright!" Xiaohuan couldn't help but be happy when he saw the two clever guys: "Auntie is not a pigeon, she keeps doing something, Auntie brought you some good things, and put them in the next room, you go and take a look!" ”
"Yu Lu, Yu Lu, a few of you greet the two little masters, don't let them fall!" He raised his head and changed to the side, Yu Lu and the others had already heard the movement, and hurriedly got up and said yes.
"Two mud monkeys, what kind of little master are they!" Zhen Da smiled innocently, walked in, and instructed his wife: "Have you cooked?" Go to the street to cut some meat, sell some wine, don't slow down these friends! ”
"No need, don't be busy sister-in-law!" Xiaohuan hurriedly stopped: "Let's call two tables of noodles in Desheng Building!" I miss the braised hooves of Desheng Building? ”
Zhen Da was slightly shocked in his heart, the cheapest table in Desheng Building was also four taels of silver a table, and he was so hungry on weekdays that he bought a hoof to beat his teeth.
But when I think about it, my face is silent, "Okay, if you're not afraid of fat, let's eat this braised big hooves today!" ”
Qi was a little hesitant, but Xiaohuan immediately walked out of the crowd, and said to her with a smile: "Grandma Zhen, please lead the way!" "It's like you're going to follow.
"Sister-in-law, take him there!" Xiaohuan said with a smile: "You also supervise, don't let him buy the inauthentic one back!" ”
