Chapter 321: Secrets

How powerful a person is now in the supremacy of imperial power, dare to say this outright, Gu Wenxuan doesn't know, but there is no doubt that he must be full of confidence.

His husband is not a braggart, and he shows his true temperament in front of his daughter-in-law, more or less because he is afraid that his daughter-in-law will be bullied too much.

But where does the confidence come from?

Grace alone?

Joke.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Gu Wenxuan took Zhou Huan to bask in the sun on the grounds that he had something to discuss with his husband, and played Go in the gazebo in the back garden.

Zhou Banxia, who went to play with her aunt this time, felt that it was not fun at all, and she was worried about what she would encounter, and she didn't make the account, so she gave her the chief steward directly.

Mrs. Zhou feigned anger and lowered her face, "What, are you worried that your aunt will harm you if she releases people by your side?" ”

"Oh." Zhou Banxia couldn't cry or laugh, "Uncle Chang, they are so good, is it okay to change one?" ”

"Not good. Be obedient, your master is kind to them, you are your master's only child, and they will be loyal to you. ”

This, she naturally knows, otherwise the dowry can be managed by Uncle Chang and his family, how can the uncle have to check and balance the multiple factions and families to supervise each other.

Because when the Zhou family was about to have an accident, the master returned the deed of sale to the people who were serving around him and gave them gold and silver, but only the two families remembered the kindness.

The most ridiculous thing is that these two families are not family children, but the orphan Chang Qing's uncle and his father who were taken in by the master's mother, and Aunt Mo Lan, who is the rough mother-in-law by the master's side.

At that time, Uncle Chang Qing was his father's mother, and his father was the master's chauffeur on the surface, but in fact he was the master's escort, and his mother was also the master's mother's private accountant.

It can be said that there is only one free body left, there are children and daughters, and life is more comfortable than that of ordinary squires, but they are such two people.

They and Aunt Mo Lan, who only relied on each other for their lives, the two families abolished their slave status, formed a family of children and began to secretly visit the whereabouts of the master.

It is said that even the yard given by her master and mother was sold and inquired, and after that, Uncle Chang and his family secretly went to Yangzhou Mansion to protect their uncle.

"Except for the two of them, let other people stay by your side, my uncle and I can't believe it, so it's decided."

"No, auntie." As soon as she didn't pay attention and thought about it, Zhou Banxia heard that it was decided, and she was so shocked that she hurriedly waved her hand, "No, it's really not good, it's reasonable, only my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother can inherit those things-"

"Nonsense." Mrs. Zhou glared at Zhou Banxia with disgust, "You are your master's only child. ”

Say this again.

She is her master's only child, and it is not surprising that the master has been a disciple of her all her life, and she is the master's child in the hearts of her uncle and aunt.

But it was not she who wore linen and filial piety to beat the banner and break the basin, she was a married woman, and because she was newly married, she was also red at that time, how could she inherit the dowry.

Even if Zhou Banxia didn't say these words, Mrs. Zhou knew it, but the dowry was different, "The dowry is not a family property, your eldest brother has inherited the family property of the long house." ”

Zhou Banxia naturally knew this, and the century-old heritage of the Zhou family was not a joke.

Even if she was defeated, now her lineage is in the same vein as her uncle, and the ancestral property returned alone, even if her uncle distributes it to most of the clansmen, it is still a very large ancestral property.

However, the inheritance industry in the capital is not in the scope of the ancestral industry here, which means that the side branch is only limited to the ancestral property in Zhoujia Village, Dingzhou Prefecture.

It is conceivable that as the eldest son, the inheritance of the descendants in the capital alone, how much family property the boss can inherit, but it is not a reason for her to accept the dowry.

"Speaking of which, it's you who suffer the most." Mrs. Zhou sighed secretly, "Before your uncle could pick a son-in-law for you, I heard that you married yourself off in less than a month after you went back." ”

The old words were brought up again, and Zhou Banxia covered his mouth and smiled.

"Still laughing!"

"I suddenly remembered that my uncle asked me if I was in a hurry to marry myself because I was afraid that Mrs. Gao would regret it, and I said that I was actually worried about the poll tax at that time."

Mrs. Zhou also remembered that Zhou Huan was drinking tea at that time, and when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "So you are honest."

If you have the power, you don't borrow it, and you marry yourself hastily. Fortunately, at present, you didn't pick the wrong person, otherwise your uncle would definitely let you leave. ”

Understand.

To borrow a sentence from my uncle, I originally heard that you had no intention of getting married, and I thought that it would be a big deal to recruit you a son-in-law and be the master of your own house.

Anyway, you don't need to inherit the incense, you have five brothers, it doesn't matter if you have children or not, but now you have to worry about whether the Gu family will fail you in the future.

"Your uncle is not worried about the day he is in, who dares to bully you. Before, Old Madam Gao intended to match you and the Nine Emperor Princes, and he had a way to make Old Madam Gao rest her mind. ”

Zhou Banxia didn't expect her aunt to suddenly speak bluntly, she was stunned, and subconsciously looked around, and suddenly thought that there were just two of them in the house.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou patted Zhou Banxia comfortingly, "It's okay, your uncle didn't hide this from the emperor, and even the two members of the Gao Mansion you gave were also discounted." ”

"......" Zhou Banxia didn't know what to say for a while, and subconsciously patted his heart, "Auntie, what should I do if I'm so panicked?" ”

"Poof", Mrs. Zhou laughed, took Zhou Banxia's right hand, and patted her right hand, "Don't be afraid, your master is still the cousin and niece of the Queen Mother." ”

Zhou Banxia was shocked, "Cousin niece? ”

"Yes, I didn't know about this before, but a few days ago, I saw that you were free after the college exam, and I asked your uncle if he wanted you to go to the capital in person.

It's easy to say that the shop over there is rented out anyway, and you don't have to show up as the master, but where is the Zhuangzi in the capital, you still have to go for a trip. ”

The amount of news was a bit large, and Zhou Banxia didn't dare to interrupt and listened quietly.

"Your uncle mentioned that you are not suitable to go to the capital for the current two years, and the reason why Mrs. Gao protects your master and brother is also related to the Queen Mother.

When there was an accident at home, although the Queen Mother had her current majesty, she was powerless to save your master at that time, and she was worried that your master would commit suicide.

The Queen Mother can only send her cronies and maids to let the old lady Gao, who had a deep friendship with your master at that time, help your master, and you can't be reduced to the sect's workshop.

When your master and Mrs. Gao got in touch, your master was rescued by Mrs. Gao, and asked the Queen Mother to help you save the Yangzhou Mansion where your uncle went.

Your master is a very remarkable noble girl, and when even the side branches were implicated and exiled, she also escorted herself to the good sisters of the past as maids, so that the Queen Mother believed that your uncle was the only bloodline left by her aunt, so as to protect your uncle from the bloodline of the main branch of the family. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Banxia had to ask, "The only bloodline left by her aunt?" ”

"Your master's mother and the Queen Mother are uncle's cousins, and your uncle's mother and the Queen Mother are aunt's cousins."
