In September of the eighth year of Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yun Zhen and his wife, who had been away from Beijing for seven years, finally returned from the northwest.

It took nearly two months for the group to arrive in the capital. Looking at the towering city wall in front of him, Yun Zhen couldn't help but be in a trance. When he took his family out of Beijing, it seemed to be right in front of him, but he didn't expect that it would be seven years in a flash.

Yun Zhen turned his head and looked at the three sons who were riding with him on his side, the young man who was immature and young had grown into a tall young man. This time I returned to Beijing, not only the term of office has arrived, but the other is that Jiaye is going to marry a daughter-in-law.

Nineteen-year-old Jia Ye, gentle and handsome, with a good demeanor, can be regarded as the best son-in-law candidate for everyone in Xiping City. Jiaye went to Xiping two years ago, the house of the nobles, and did not point to the imperial examination, just the year before last, Yun Zhen couldn't handle some things in Xiping, so he called his son. Jia Ye stayed in Xiping for two years and happened to come back with everyone.

In the past two years, Jinxiu has been talking about kissing Jiaye. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Jinxiu pestered Yun Zhen and called Jiaye to Xiping.

For the family affairs of their children, Yun Zhen and Jinxiu both have the same idea, that is, the son himself has to take care of it. Now the Han family doesn't need to marry any powerful people, so there is no need to sacrifice his son's lifelong events, everything is based on his son's happiness.

In order to choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law for her son, Jinxiu held several banquets in the Northwest Governor's Mansion. Take the opportunity of the banquet so that Jiaye has the opportunity to meet the girl she likes.

Not to mention, this trick really works, Jiaye is really optimistic about one. But that girl is not a lady, just a distant relative of the prefect of Xiping Prefecture. This girl accompanied several daughters of the prefect's family to the banquet, but on the way, she was squeezed by the daughters of the prefect's family, and ran to a place where no one was crying secretly.

Coincidentally, Jiaye was also there that day. He didn't bother to entertain those ladies at all, and he couldn't refute his mother's wishes, so he hid in the tree and read. Hearing someone crying in a low voice below, Jia Ye's curiosity came up for a moment, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.

It doesn't matter what it looks like, but I was suddenly attracted by the beautiful and weak woman who cried pear blossoms with rain below. Jiaye didn't dare to alarm the woman, for fear that people would treat him as a disciple, so he had to endure it.

It just so happened that the girl of the prefect's family was looking for the girl everywhere, and when she was waiting to find it, she reprimanded the girl with her head and face. Jia Ye really couldn't stand it, jumped down from the tree, and directly protected the girl. This commotion didn't matter, and it alarmed the entire banquet. At that time, Jia Ye knew that this girl who was hiding aside and crying secretly was a poor baby under the fence.

For this girl named Lu Ziying, Jia Ye really can't let go. So, after the feast, he told his mother what he thought of the girl.

It's rare for a son to be optimistic about a girl, and of course Jinxiu is very happy. After sending someone to inquire, I learned about the background of this girl from the Lu family. Lu Ziying's father died, and her mother had no choice but to take her to her cousin, that is, the prefect's wife.

Lu Ziying's gentle and beautiful birth can be regarded as stunning, and her father is a lifter and a talented man with outstanding literary talents. Therefore, Lu Ziying is not only good-looking, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's just a pity that Lu Ziying's father fell ill and died, and their mother and daughter had to be sent under the fence.

Several daughters of the prefect's family were jealous of Ziying's appearance and talent, so they stumbled everywhere. And the prefect's nephew is optimistic about Ziying and wants to marry her. The nephew of the prefect's family, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, knows that he is getting into trouble with his uncle's momentum, where does Ziying look down on such a person? Therefore, the mother and daughter are excluded everywhere in the prefect's mansion.

Fortunately, the prefect's wife was not bad to her cousin's mother and daughter, so she would let Ziying go with her at the banquet that day. But several daughters of the prefect's family were jealous of Ziying's excellence, for fear that she would steal the limelight from others, so they were very unhappy and humiliated Ziying, so Ziying secretly hid and cried.

After some inquiry, Jinxiu was also very sympathetic to this Ziying girl, but sympathy did not mean that she could agree to this family business. So, taking the opportunity of a temple fair, Jinxiu found a way to test this Ziying.

Jinxiu pretended to be a peasant woman and collided with Lu Ziying at the temple fair, not only bumping Ziying into her, but also falling to the ground and not getting up. Unexpectedly, Ziying couldn't take care of her injury, crutched an injured leg, and was stunned to help Jinxiu to find Lang Zhong for medical treatment.

Jinxiu felt that this girl was really good, so she gave Ziying a jade pendant as a meeting gift. After returning home, he immediately sent someone to the prefect's mansion to propose his relatives.

When a few daughters of the prefect's family learned that the little pity they looked down on was actually favored by the Han family, the Marquis of Zhongyong and the Governor of the Northwest. When they wanted to hire her as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Han family, these girls were angry, so they came up with Li Daitao's plan.

It's a pity that Jinxiu is not so easy to fool, and after deciding on the family affairs, he sent someone to come. In the name, it is to teach Zi Ying the rules, but in fact, it is to protect Zi Ying secretly.

In this way, the tricks of the girls of the prefect's family were difficult to realize, and they gritted their teeth angrily.

Just as Emperor Zhaowu issued an order to let Yun Zhen return to Beijing, Jinxiu said that Jiaye was about the same age, and he just returned to Beijing to get married. directly sent someone to pick up Ziying's mother and daughter together and brought them back to Jingshi.

Of course, the prefect and his wife of Xiping did not dare to have any objections to Jinxiu's approach. For them, being able to climb to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong is a supreme brilliance, where can they care if they are not in accordance with the rules? Besides, the Han family is going back to Beijing, of course the family affairs have to be held in the capital, and when you can't get married, you can come to the northwest to welcome your relatives, right? Taking Ziying into Beijing is the best way.

In this way, Yun Zhen Jinxiu and his entourage, with their future daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, returned to the capital.

Thinking that his son was going to marry a daughter-in-law, Yun Zhen was really happy in his heart. The son married a daughter-in-law, but he didn't want to hold his grandson, what? Of course, this is something to be happy about.

"Second brother, you're finally back." Just when Yun Zhen was thinking about things, there were many people coming over to him. Yun Zhen took a look, it was not someone else, it was his two younger brothers, as well as Xiaomei and others, who received the news and came to greet them.

"Yes, I'm back, after seven years, I'm finally back again." Seeing his relatives, Yun Zhen was overjoyed and laughed. "Ye'er, how many of you, why don't you hurry up and say hello to the third uncle, the fourth uncle and the sister-in-law?"

The three brothers of Han Jiaye hurriedly pulled down from their horses at this time and saluted to the people in front of them, "Third uncle, fourth uncle, sister-in-law, sister-in-law." ”

Yun Ting and the others also got off their horses and looked at the nephews in front of them with a smile. "They've all grown up, good fellows, taller than me. Okay, good, it's good to grow up. Yun Ting kept nodding and laughing.

"Second brother, what about the second sister-in-law? And what about Qing'er? Yunxia looked behind her, trying to find her niece.

"It's all in the carriage behind, I'm really tired and panicked this way, and your sister-in-law is resting in the car." Yun Zhen turned his head and pointed to the carriages behind him. "Let's go to the city first, after returning home, the big guy is talking well, this dusty outside, you can eat a mouthful of soil when you speak."

And all the people understood this, so they mounted their horses again and went together towards the city.

returned to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, Lizhu and the people were waiting in front of the Hou Mansion. Jinxiu and Jiaqing Jiasheng also got out of the car, and together with Ziying's mother and daughter, everyone entered the house together.

After everyone was seated in the hall, there was time to catch up. Jinxiu first introduced it to everyone, and it also saved Ziying's mother and daughter from not knowing anyone and sitting here embarrassed.

When everyone heard this, Jiaye's fiancée and future mother-in-law were very polite. Lizhu looked at Ziying carefully and couldn't help but nod. Don't say it, this girl is really good-looking, Jiaye, this kid, is a blessed one.

"Okay, good, it's good, I didn't expect our Ye'er to marry a daughter-in-law. It's just wonderful. Yunxia said with a smile. Although it has been seven or eight years since she got married, Yunxia's laughing and noisy temperament has not changed, and it is almost the same as before.

Yunxia's words made red clouds fly on Ziying's face, and she lowered her head, and she didn't dare to look up at everyone anymore.

Over there, Ruth was holding her own child, looking at the lively scene in front of her, and she was also very happy. She turned her head to look at Yun Lei, and motioned for Yun Lei to speak with her eyes.

Yun Lei saw the eyes handed over by his wife, and then coughed lightly twice, and then said. "Second brother, since your family has come back, Ye'er is also going to marry a daughter-in-law, and the population in the house will increase more and more in the future, I discussed with the third brother, and our two families want to move out to live."

Yun Lei's words made everyone in the room stop talking, and the room was quiet.

Yun Zhen glared at his younger brother, "What are you talking about?" The Hou Mansion is very big, not to mention Jiaye marrying a daughter-in-law, that is, Jiaxu and Jiahao both marry daughters-in-law, and they also live open. What kind of trouble are you guys making this about? I'm just coming back, and you're going to move out, what? I came back to drive you away? ”

Yun Zhen is the eldest brother, he straightened his face, Yun Ting and Yun Lei were really a little unbearable. "Second brother, this is what I mean. Now our brothers also have their own official positions, and it is not good to always live in the Hou Mansion. Besides, the children of each family are growing up, and they will all marry their daughters-in-law and have children. No matter how big the Hou Mansion is, it can't live together as a family? ”

"When there are more people, there will be more things, and when the time comes, it is easy to wear out the love between brothers. It's better for our brothers to move out now, and when the time comes, the love between our brothers will still be there. Yun Ting tried his best to persuade.

Yun Zhen also knew that when his brothers were older, they couldn't be together forever, but in his heart, he couldn't get over it after all. "Let me think about it. Wait a minute, let me think it through. Yun Zhen said with a straight face.

"Yes, yes, of course you have to think it through. Today is the day when the second brother comes home, let's not talk about this. The second brother, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law have already prepared the meal, let's have a good time in the evening. Yunxia hurriedly played a round from it.
