The young master of "Lan Yuexuan"? Shu Yao, although she doesn't know the true identity of the master of Lan Yuexuan, but she still knows that he is a person with a big background. Surnamed Zhong? Shu Yao is sorting through the memories of his previous life in Weiyuan.

When he lived in the Hou Mansion, he heard about many big and famous families.

Suddenly, the words "Zhongguo Gongfu" appeared, right? Could it be from Zhongguo Gongfu? Zhongguo Gongfu is the queen's natal family, and her surname is Zhong. Only Shuyao knew about the queen and Zhongguo Gongfu.

Very little.

The letter went on to say: "Zhong Jiayi came to Yulin from the capital in October last year, and will return to the capital in November this year. He said that if I go to the capital for fun in the future, I will stay in their house."

Shujie smiled and said: "Just maintain a friendly relationship with your classmates. Master Zhong's family must not be simple. Calling brothers is just for fun at your children's house." Looking at shopkeeper Li's momentum and words, the backstage of "Lanyue Xuan"

Extremely tough, the boss must be very extraordinary. The three brothers and sisters are just orphans in the market. Blindly clinging to such a family may bring disaster.

Shu Wen said "hmm" and nodded sensibly. Their mother, Zhen Zirou, often said before that small families have their own joys, and big families have their troubles. Big families have many fights and bad things, not ordinary people like them.

As long as you can understand, it's better to keep a distance.

Shu Wen didn't understand it very well, but he also knew that his mother had been bullied for many years in that Murong Shangshu Mansion and almost lost her life.

The three brothers and sisters walked and joked in low voices, and soon arrived at Xitang Street. They met Dongsheng within a few steps.

Xiao Dongsheng looked nervous: "Brother Jie, Awen, those two uncles of yours are here again, and there is an old lady with a fierce face."

The three of them took a quick look and saw that there was indeed a carriage parked at the door of their yard.

Walking into the courtyard, there was an old lady in a tan satin coat sitting on a chair leaning against the courtyard wall. On one side stood a big maid, on the other side sat Xia Linyu, and on the other side Xia Linang was sitting in the utility room.

They were pacing back and forth, looking left and right. However, the little boy lying under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was staring at him eagerly. The four of them were cautious and did not dare to make any big moves.

Shujie pulled his younger siblings forward and performed a junior salute: "Four old ladies." His grandfather Xia Zhihan was the fourth in the family.

Old Mrs. Xia was still waiting for Shujie and the other three to salute with a straight face. Unexpectedly, what she waited for was just the most common junior gift and a faint "Four old ladies." In the past, Shujie had followed Xia Linxuan into the Xia Mansion to meet him.

Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia are both called "grandfather and grandmother".

But now, both Shujie's tone and the expressions of the three brothers and sisters were full of alienation.

Mrs. Xia couldn't hold back her face and was about to say something. Shujie's next words made her choke and cough: "Fourth old lady, you are also an elder in the clan, so you should let someone know before you come over next time.

Okay, how hard it is to sit in the yard and wait like this."

Xia Linyu said reproachfully: "Brother Jie, I heard that you sent Shuyao to study in the Xu Mansion. You are really ignorant. Why bother Mrs. Xu with such a trivial matter? Let Shuyao go to the mansion to study with Qing'er and the others.

that is."

Shujie had a funny look on his face: "Third uncle, when did you invite Mr. Yao'er to your house? But Yao'er is close to Miss Xu. It's better to let her go to Xu's house. After all, Uncle Jin and Mrs. Xu had an agreement years ago.

Regarding the matter, Uncle Jin also prepared a gift to send."

"..." Xia Linyu was at a loss for words. In the past few years, the Xia family had no spare money to hire a husband for the girls. He hired one in the early years and resigned after teaching for a year.

Everyone knows something about it. As for Xia Shulin, it doesn't matter whether a concubine can learn or not, as long as she gets married in a few years.

Mrs. Zhou asked him to ask Shuyao to study in the Xia Mansion. In fact, he just wanted Shuqing to study with Mother Liu in reverse. In this way, he could claim to the outside world that Shuqing had received the teachings of Grandma Gongyang, and that Shuyao

They are very close to their uncle's family.

Zhou thought she was smart and was playing with her abacus, but she didn't remember that Shujie and the others had never been successfully plotted by them, and Mrs. Liu was not a vegetarian either.

Mrs. Xia frowned and kept calling Uncle Jin, was she trying to use Jin Xida to suppress them?

However, after all, Mrs. Xia has been the wife of the Marquis of Yongping for ten years, Mrs. Hou for more than two years, and has neglected the general affairs for many years. Unlike the Zhou family, which has been completely "uglified" by the general affairs, trivial matters and money, she can't care about her image.

question.

Old Mrs. Xia silently stared at Shujie and the three of them with her dark and unclear eyes, as if she wanted to use her "majesty" to force them to kneel at the feet of her, her direct grandmother. The little bitch bleeding from the blood of a maid, with that

Why are you standing in front of her so grandly? They are supposed to be her and her children and grandchildren's slaves! But now they are so proud and arrogant! Shujie's words of "four old ladies" sounded to her ears with incomparable irony and provocation. Hateful

Yes, the rice has turned into porridge, and the genealogy has been changed. They are indeed just relatives now, and if they make trouble, they will only bring shame to the Xia family.

What's more, there was a white tiger staring in front of her, and Mama Liu, the palace maid, was sitting on the side "concentrating" on embroidery. She didn't even dare to raise her voice, so she had to use her eyes to show off.

Shujie and the three of them didn't seem to notice Mrs. Xia's eyes. Shuyao was busy greeting Huohuo who rushed out of the house. After Shuwen saluted Mrs. Xia, he turned around and asked Da Niu to prepare water for him to take a bath.

She was covered in dust from the fight and was sticky with sweat, which made her really uncomfortable. Shujie looked at her calmly: "The fourth old lady, the third uncle, and the sixth uncle came here just for this, right?"

"Ahem," Xia Linang couldn't wait, "Your grandmother has been in poor health recently..."

"Our grandmother? Who is she?" Shuyao looked curious, "Oh, Uncle Six, you mean the fourth old lady, right?"

"Ahem... uh... the fourth old lady has been in poor health recently. We asked an eminent monk to do some calculations and said we needed to find a small courtyard close to the downtown area to recuperate. She said it was close to the place and was popular. The eminent monk also gave us directions.

I know the direction, your small courtyard is the most suitable. Brother Jie, the fourth old lady is your father’s aunt after all, you must show your filial piety on your father’s behalf.”

"You want to come and rob our yard again?" Shuwen shouted sensitively, and Xiaoguai immediately rushed over and stood in front of Shuwen.

Mrs. Xia and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling, but they did not dare to shout out. They had all heard that sharp yelling would anger the white tiger.

"No, no." Xia Linyu glared at Xia Linang. Are these little brats so easy to coax? "We want to pay for it, buy..."

Before Shujie could speak, Shuwen curled his lips and said, "If I don't sell it, I'll sell the yard to you. Where will we live?"

Shujie also replied in a deep voice: "Our parents passed away less than a year ago, and we sold the yard. How can we be filial?"

Mother Liu, who had been silent for a long time, uttered something unintentionally: "On the anniversary of the death of Madam Xia Zhen, the Queen Mother might send someone over to take a look. If she knew that Madam Xia's yard had been occupied, eh

…”

Brother Xia Linyu's eyes widened. Why didn't they think of this? I heard that the emperor was preaching about "great filial piety and great love without departing from morality" and "knowing kindness, being grateful, and repaying kindness". The origin is the youngest son of the current Empress Dowager, the fiefdom

The King of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the northeast mobilized a force and gathered some scholars and Confucian scholars in various places to criticize the Zhou Dynasty for being ruthless, unfilial, unprincipled, and rude under the rule of the late emperor and his family.

The medicinal diet presented by Zhen Zirou suppressed the Empress Dowager's thirst. Last year, the Empress Dowager specially sent her nuns to pay homage. The death anniversary is a big event, and the Empress Dowager and the advisers around the emperor would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of this.

It is very likely that the Queen Mother will send people to worship again, and maybe she will be more kind to Shujie and the others. At this time, if they force Shujie and the others to "sell" the yard and move away, they are not asking for death.

?

Old Mrs. Xia was slow for a moment, but she finally thought of this. Her cloudy eyes looked at Shujie and the others again: The good luck path should have belonged to the first and third bedrooms of the direct descendants, but how come they all fell into the humble hands of the concubines.

A second wife? And they still can’t get any advantage.

With her head lowered, Shuyao's eyes rolled. She thought that the reason why Brother Xia Linyu suddenly wanted to buy this yard and moved out Mrs. Xia was because of the box of money. If the yard was really sold to them, they would probably start digging the ground immediately.

, carry out a major renovation of the yard.

"Brother", Shuyao pulled Shujie's sleeve and raised her head, "There are more of us now, and this yard is almost out of space. We have been mourning for our parents for three years, can we move to a bigger yard?"

"

Shujie didn't know why Shuyao suddenly wanted a big yard and brought it up now. But then he thought about it, the yard is really crowded now, and it won't be easy for Shuwen to live in the same room with him when he grows up in two years.

House, I really need to consider buying a big yard in the future, since they have enough money anyway.

Thinking like this, Shujie touched Shuyao's head: "When we save some money in the past two years and after the three-year filial piety period, the eldest brother will find a way to buy a bigger yard for us Yao'er to live in."

"Yes, yes," Xia Linyu hurriedly answered, "When the filial piety period is over, you can sell this yard to us, and I can give you fifty taels of silver more than the market price.

"Let's talk about it then," Shujie replied calmly.

The Xia Linyu brothers also knew that this matter could not be forced. Shujie and the others had good reasons. Unless life was really unbearable, no one was willing to sell their house not long after their parents passed away.

Moreover, if you push too hard, if they suspect something, it will be too bad to dig out the utility room to hunt for treasures. That will really be a waste of water and three little bastards.

Since the matter was not settled, Xia Linyu and the others left after talking a few words. Before going out, Mrs. Xia also said something sincerely: "Break the bones and connect the tendons, Brother Jie, you can't forget your roots as a human being."

Shujie replied respectfully: "I don't dare. My parents used to say that God is watching what we do. Everyone can see what we do, including the clan chiefs, clan elders, and all the clan members."

Everyone is watching.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
