Chapter 40: The Xia Family of Xiangzhou Mansion (2)

As soon as she heard that her husband's eldest brother had also given birth to a son, Hu Mei's already ugly face turned completely white in a flash. Hu Hai knew at a glance that there was a secret inside, and he didn't dare to ask more.

It turned out that Xia Mu was the patriarch's son-in-law, and he was the second among the three brothers, and all three of them were qualified to inherit the patriarch.

Brother Xia Mu gradually withdrew from the list of heirs because he was nearly forty years old and had no son. In a big family, in addition to the eldest son, descendant, qualifications, and talents, whether you have descendants or not is also one of the important indicators to become an heir.

Therefore, Xia Mu has achieved a great advantage in inheriting the patriarch, and he is only about to be declared a young patriarch. Now that the eldest brother suddenly has a son, everyone is back on the same starting line.

Hu Mei instructed the maid to make tea and serve the guests and children, and she hurriedly ran to the Xia family hall to find her husband and go home.

Hu Mei is not the kind of big-chested and brainless person, she knows that she invited her cousin to "see others" this time, I am afraid that it will be a little reckless, and if she doesn't do it, she will offend this cousin to death.

The marriage of the two families, I am afraid that there will be great variables, the former husband's patriarchal heir is hopeful, and under the spring breeze, everything is easy to say.

Now that the matter of inheriting the patriarch has suddenly become uncertain, the husband is naturally unwilling to give up the ancient diplomatic method of marriage. If it can help her husband's patriarch inheritance, she will definitely find an in-law family that is conducive to her husband's inheritance of the patriarch.

Although the niece is excellent, it obviously has no role in inheriting the patriarch, and if the marriage fails, it will be forgotten, and if she quietly gives her cousin some financial compensation, the matter may be over.

What she is afraid of is that her husband is arrogant and looks down on her relatives in the countryside, and his words are ugly, which offends her cousin, and it will not look good when she returns to her parents' house in the future.

Cousin Hu Hai is also an iron-clad reader, and he usually likes to admit death, but if he is ridiculed by his cousin-in-law this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to resolve it. In this life, they will never get along.

So I can only explain to my husband in person, if the marriage doesn't work, find a reason to delay it first, you must give yourself a little face, you can't talk to death all at once, and you can't ridicule your cousin for being a country bun.

As the saying goes: "A husband is better than a wife", and I am really afraid of something.

Hu Mei's husband got reliable information that this year's ancestor worship would have announced him as the young patriarch, but because the eldest brother suddenly also had a son, and he was also a successor, the matter of the young patriarch had to be reconsidered.

As soon as Hu Mei and her husband talked about the marriage of their son and niece, before they could explain, her husband blurted out:

"It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, he is a native bun in the countryside, and he also wants to marry his daughter to the Xia family to climb high branches, and he doesn't have to think about it, is this possible?"

As he spoke, he rushed to the house of Kuaibu, as if he did not want to say this in front of Hu Mei's family to understand his hatred.

Seeing Xia Mu making a loud noise, there were some Xia family members on the side who didn't deal with him on weekdays, with a playful expression on their faces.

When Hu Mei heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and tears came out. Quickly grabbed her husband and didn't let him go home in a rage.

Along the way, Hu Mei said a lot of bad things, and her husband's anger gradually came down, so she promised not to talk nonsense, and explained the reason why she couldn't get married, and the two also unified their voices: "Even during the time when Hu Mei returned to her parents' house, someone also told the child about a family affair." ”

Xia Mu can become a strong contender for the patriarch's heir, but he is not the kind of person who has no brains, and he is usually polite and polite.

Hu Mei is not a simple character, in addition to being beautiful like a flower, he is also scheming, he is Xia Fang's virtuous assistant and military advisor, he can achieve his current status, Hu Mei is indispensable.

Xia Mu is also used to showing his supremacy at home outside, and when he really returns home, he doesn't want to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to the eyes, at least he must be amiable. Otherwise, everywhere in the face of him is cold.

Hu Mei's father-in-law is the patriarch of this generation, named Xia Zhao, who is already over the age of six, so he is considering taking off the burden of the patriarch in the past few years.

His three sons, namely Xia Ze, Xia Mu, and Xia Hong, are all with good qualifications, and their performance is also indistinguishable, and the eldest son is the best heir.

However, the eldest son is nearly forty years old and has no heirs, so Xia Zhao has not yet determined the position of the young patriarch until he is sixty-five years old in order to wait for the eldest son to have a son and then be designated as the heir of the patriarch.

Xia Zhao will be sixty-six years old this year, and the heir must be determined, and it has been decided that the second son will inherit the patriarch, but the eldest son has given birth to a son, and now he can only convene the family elders to re-determine.

Xia Mu and Hu Mei returned home, confessed vigorously, and then euphemistically denied the matter of "watching others". Hu Hai and the third aunt's faces were pale, Hu Mei's face was embarrassed, and only Xia Mu's face was light.

Just when Hu Mei didn't know how to ease the atmosphere, the eldest brother Xia Ze came to the door in person, Xia Mu's face instantly became ugly, thinking that the eldest brother had come to see the excitement!

In fact, Xia Mu was too careful, Xia Ze heard that someone from his brother-in-law's mother's house was coming, and he happened to be holding his son's "Three Dynasties" banquet again, so he personally came over to invite him, so as not to have a misunderstanding that Hu Mei's relatives were neglected.

After Xia Ze entered the door, he first said hello to his younger brother and his son, and when Hu Mei finished introducing him, he arched his hand and said politely: "Today is the dog three dynasties wine banquet, since the third aunt and Hu Xiandi have caught up, can you enjoy your face and drink a glass of water and wine?"

Hu Hai was overjoyed, borrowed a ladder to go down the steps, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Lao Xia personally invites me, I can't congratulate you!"

Hu Hai naturally took out ten taels of silver from the bookcase, wrote a congratulatory note on red paper, and handed it directly to Xia Ze. Xia Ze happily took it in his hand and did not dislike it.

Hu Hai retorted and said, "Cousin-in-law, cousin, do you want to go with me, or will you go later?"

Xia Mu reacted quickly this time and said: "Let's go together, brother Xian first!"

The group walked towards the Xia Family Sect, Hu Hai can be regarded as an eye-opener, not to mention that the entire Xia family occupies almost half of the entire Xiangzhou Mansion, that is, a single Xia Family Sect is as big as the most lively street in Peach Blossom Town.

On the way, Xia Ze saw Hu Zhengying's cute appearance, and couldn't help touching her little head. His complexion suddenly changed drastically, as he felt a trace of the rich wood aura on the little girl's head.

As far as Xia Ze knew, the Hu Mei family was an ordinary small family in the world, and there had never been a history of immortal cultivators, let alone the inheritance of immortal cultivators.

Hu Mei herself is also a mortal, mainly because the second brother himself took a fancy to it, and Fei Qing, who was looking for death and life, did not marry, so his father had to let Hu Mei marry into the Hu family.

After entering the Xia family, Hu Mei was also put into another book at the beginning. is often ridiculed as a country bun, for this, Hu Mei doesn't know how many tears she left.
