Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 355;

Chapter 350; can't be all bad guys
Seeing the girl in his arms finally stopped crying, old Situ cried softly;

"Come here, take care of your wife, go clean your face with the two little guys, change your clothes, and then come to the main hall and sit down."

"Yes, patriarch."

Immediately, four maids from Fan Yang's hometown came out of the main hall, came to the father and daughter, saluted before speaking;
"My lady, please, servant girl will lead the way."

The two maids held the little hands of the two children, waiting for Mrs. Qiao to leave. Mrs. Qiao raised her head and broke away from Old Situ's embrace, and said anxiously;

"Aye, if you don't go out all the time, the neighbors outside might think that something serious has happened. The people always like to watch the excitement, and they don't despise big things. They will talk nonsense and suspect again..."

"My son, you take the children to tidy up your appearance first, you don't have to worry about things outside, and after a while, ask your fifth uncle to send someone out to tell the people outside that you are Lu's daughter, so naturally no one will gossip. "

Old Situ thought for a while and turned his head;

"Fifth brother, you can do it yourself, you don't have to worry about asking the servants to do it for you."

"It's the patriarch. My brother immediately went out to tell the neighbors what happened here, and let the people know. It's not that I, Lu, don't let her go, but that she has become the adopted daughter of the patriarch. With such an identity , even if you don’t go out for the rest of your life, it’s reasonable.”

Old Situ looked up at Cui Shi again, Cui Shi felt sorry for the patriarch Aye just now, and his eyes were red and swollen, so Aye looked at him and didn't know why, so he had to stand up;

"Aye, but you have some important orders."

"That's right, I'm going to say this to you, and I'm going to say it to my daughter. Both of you listen carefully. Although the grievances and grievances of the past are unforgettable, you will continue to live after all. You can't always stare at the old things and stop. not before.

The old man is already seventy years old, and has experienced two dynasties. In this life, I don't know how many times he has seen birth, old age, sickness and death, misfortunes and blessings.

The old man thought that living a happy life was more important than anything else. A lifetime of grass and trees, but only a few dozen years, could be wasted in enmity?

Now the rebellious son and the evil servant have all received the retribution of heaven, and it is considered to be over. Let go of all the past,
My daughter's husband died halfway, I can't say much, I can only say that it was a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, you don't need to mention any virtues of your son, he knows it well, from now on, both of you put aside the past grievances, look Let's do it later. "

Cui bowed her head in blessing;

"It's Aye, listen to Aye."

After living without a man for two years, Mrs. Qiao has long been exhausted, and today, all her enemies were killed and killed, which made her feel much more at ease and cleared up a lot.

There was also the distinguished patriarch of the Lu clan who came forward in person, paid him a big gift, and was adopted as a righteous daughter. He also lives nearby, how could he not know about the Lu family's affairs?

None of the other people here would be as bad as that beast, and Qiao Shi lost all hatred for all kinds of things, so he nodded and agreed.

The old Situ ordered again;
"You are born with a kind heart. It's nothing more than a straightforward temper. It doesn't hurt anything. The old man chose you to be the future wife in power of the Lu family. I still don't regret it. Go, take the old man's daughter and children, Go down and tidy up, and then come to the main hall to answer."

"Yes, Ayer."

Cui came to Qiao with five concubines, and said softly;
"A-mei, let him pass the past. You lost your husband, my sister-in-law and I lost my eldest son. Let's stop talking about those sad things in the future, okay?"

Mrs. Qiao nodded, and followed a group of people to leave the main hall and came to the backyard. Naturally, there were maids and maids who boiled hot water and waited for the three of them to take a bath. Mrs. Qiao never experienced such a scene, a dozen of them surrounded them and waited on them. The time was still a little unaccustomed, so he didn't ask the maids to approach, and bathed the two children by himself.

Mrs. Cui led a group of people back to their own yards. They all found some roughly suitable clothes and came back. They asked Mrs. Qiao to find a suitable one and put them on. After entering the clean room, she saw a group of maids standing still. The mother and son washed their own, Cui immediately became angry, she was not a bad person, seeing the servants neglecting the patriarch's daughter so much, she got angry and immediately scolded;

"Bold, you follow me, just learn this kind of rules, watch the patriarch's daughter take a bath, and don't go up to serve, why are you so negligent?"

The two leading first-class maids were really wronged to the extreme, and they didn't hold back, so they hurried forward to answer;

"Madam, calm down. It's the young lady who didn't ask the servants and others to approach her. How dare the servants have the courage to neglect the patriarch's daughter. Please ask the lady to investigate."

Cui was still wondering why this girl wasn't called a waiter. In front of dozens of people, Qiao was sitting in the wooden barrel with no clothes on. Even though they were all women, her face was flushed with shame, and she didn't dare Get up, just lower your head and explain in a low voice;
"Sister-in-law, don't blame them. I'm not used to being served, so I didn't ask them to come over."

"So that's the case, sister, you are wrong. Now you are Aye's only daughter, and your status is very different from the past. It is only natural to be served, and you will be served for a lifetime in the future. You can't get used to it, sister-in-law. I have found some clothes for you here, try to pick one that fits you in a while, and go to the main hall to answer the question, and tomorrow I will call a few skilled tailors to come to the mansion, and make some for you, today will be like this Just for a moment, my sister-in-law goes out and waits first, you have to come out quickly, don't delay too long, the two patriarchs are waiting, you haven't met the big patriarch, and you haven't brought tea to Aye, what's the matter Much better."

"Oh, my sister-in-law goes out first, and I'll get up right away."

Watching a group of people go out again, Mrs. Qiao didn't dare to delay this time. A group of maids came up and waited for the wash in a short while.

I chose a suit that fit inside and outside, and dressed neatly. The maid inserted a golden hairpin brought by the wife on her head, and the two children also wore the clothes of the concubines when they were young. Everyone came to the front courtyard again.

Mrs. Qiao was born in poverty, no one knows the rules, and she can't speak well. On the way to the front yard, Mrs. Cui taught her how to say hello and how to salute.

As mentioned earlier, Mrs. Qiao had forgotten most of them later on, and she was too anxious. Mrs. Cui could only pick out the important ones first, and said it in detail several times. Mrs. Qiao struggled to remember it.

The maid led Mrs. Qiao to the two patriarchs, Mrs. Qiao completely forgot when she was nervous, and only remembered how to salute;
"I have seen the chief patriarch, and the chief patriarch is well."

The maid next to her looked at the new master in amazement, but she didn't dare to say anything. Mrs. Qiao also knew that what she said was unruly, so she lowered her head.

Seeing today's situation, Lu Jide sighed and put on a gentle smile;
"My sister, please don't be restrained. I'm not a bobcat and can eat people."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

"My son, see Aye, Aye is well."

"Okay, okay, Aye is fine, thanks to you, my child."

Seeing the hot water brought by the maid, Mrs. Qiao took a bowl and held it with both hands and sent it over. The maid next to her couldn't bear it any longer.

After taking a step forward, he was about to remind Qiao Shi. Old Situ stopped the maid's movement with his eyes, shook his head slightly, and at the same time took a mouthful of Qiao Shi's hot water.

Come to pay respects to your uncles, and all the elder brothers. They are all the elders of the second house of the big family and hold important positions. You have to get to know them first. Let’s start with your second uncle. He is Aye’s direct brother. ...

Following the guidance of his subordinates numbly, Qiao Shi went through the etiquette with a group of important old men, and greeted each other with the younger generation.

Finally came to stand in front of Lu Jishan;

"Meet my brother."

Lu Jishan endured the pain in his back, got up and helped Qiao Shi;
"Get up, sister, there is no need to be too polite, go and answer in front of Aye, we brothers and sisters will be our own family from now on, so we don't need to pay too much attention."

"It's brother."

Mrs. Qiao agreed to come down and walk towards the top, thinking about the scene just now, some nobles in their 40s and [-]s actually wanted to salute and say hello to themselves, calling them aunts, with a respectful attitude,

Mrs. Qiao was also surprised. Before she could be surprised, she turned around a lot and returned to Old Situ, holding the hands of her two children and standing quietly without speaking.

"I have seen the ceremony, and I will be the official daughter of the old man from now on. Go and sit under your sister-in-law. At this moment, you can no longer sit on the head. The rules still have to be said. From now on, you will follow you more." My sister-in-law learns, she can always learn.

Don't hold grudges against her, she is heartless and doesn't know how to hold grudges, if she is unhappy one day, she will forget about it when she wakes up from sleep,

Otherwise, how could he be helpless by several concubine's house? Originally, Aye was in Fanyang, and he heard that his wife and senior wife had been wronged, and there was no distinction between superiors and inferiors in the house.

I want to come back and tidy up and support your sister-in-law, but seeing that they are still behaved today, and the old man has your child again, I don't want to mention those messy things, so I will remember it for the time being and let them go .

Speaking of which, your sister-in-law is someone who can make friends with you. After a long time, you will know that what the old man said is true. "

Cui Shi, who was sitting in the grand teacher's chair, heard the old Aye say that he would come to support her, and she was so happy that she couldn't help but turned her head and glanced behind her.

When the concubines heard that the patriarch said that they were going to be punished, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath, and lowered their heads even harder.

Cui Shi looked at them, not to mention how happy she was. Thinking back to the matter of that naughty son, the curtain finally came to an end, Cui Shi felt a sense of relief for him.

A dignified man has become a useless person, pulls the bed, eats the bed, Cui feels useless when he thinks about it, not to mention, he is still a troublemaker, and he does not do good things. If he dies, he will die. It is his own fault. If it can be done once and for all, it is better to go to reincarnation and be reborn as a human being.

After listening to the old Situ's explanation, Mrs. Qiao also had some understanding in her heart. Mrs. Qiao felt that the old patriarch's character and words could be trusted;
"It's Aye, don't mention those old things, the sinners have been subdued, and my hatred is gone."

Qiao went to Cui's side and looked at the concubines of the new brother. They were all standing behind his sister-in-law. She couldn't figure it out. There is no seat for such a big family and a serious concubine...

Lu Jide twisted his body and smiled;
"Family laws and regulations have also been implemented, all the sinners have died, and apart from their clan affiliations, this matter can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world.

Finally, the heart disease is over, and I don't worry about it anymore. Now, let's not talk about the past, just talk about my uncle, who has adopted a new adopted daughter today, which is gratifying and congratulatory.

Just now I took a closer look and cleaned up the face. My sister is not what my uncle said, she is very similar to the girl who died young.

At that time, Amei stayed in my house for half a year, and I remember Amei's appearance most deeply.

From my point of view, there may be more than half of the similarities, and it can be regarded as a match of fate. As a big patriarch, let me express it first.

Xuhui, which of our big houses have family businesses in Chang'an City, you can tell me a few things, and give it to your aunt as a meeting gift. It's hard for the old man to receive a big gift, but he won't give it away. "

Hearing the great patriarch talking and joking, the nervous main hall relaxed for a long time, and most of the people laughed.

Old Situ was also stroking his gray beard and laughing loudly. A middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed in splendid Chinese clothes, bowed his head.

"It's Aye. If you go back to Aye, the business of our Dafang's family business in Chang'an City is a bit complicated. I feel that other businesses use too much manpower. If you give it to your aunt, it will cause trouble.
On the contrary, in Xinghuafang, there are three garment shops and two cloth shops. The property deeds are complete, and the business is decent. Adding up the two, they can earn three or several hundred guan a year.

These two are suitable for my aunt, so don't worry too much, I ask Aye to decide. "

"Well, that's right. The gift my son chose is very suitable for the old man. In the next few days, you can arrange someone to handle it and understand it. It will be under your aunt's name."

"Yes, I remember."

Cui gently put her head in front of the stunned Qiao, urging in a low voice;

"Sister, why are you still in a daze, hurry up and thank the patriarch for the reward..."

"Huh? Oh, okay..."

Qiao Shi finally came back to his senses, got up quickly, came to the top, and gave a big thank you. Under the excitement, he even forgot all the things Cui Shi taught, how to salute, which made things look different, and both All the old patriarchs laughed.

Old Situ looked at the wobbly daughter, who looked more and more like his own daughter before, holding Qiao's hand and smiling kindly;

"My son, you don't need to be coy. You don't know the rules. Everyone knows it. You just learn it slowly in the future. By the way, there are other people in your family, so Aye can go and pay a visit."

"Back to Aye, my son escaped in a disaster year, separated from his biological parents, was taken in by Qiao's family, and raised as an adult.

He became the main wife for my husband, and the Qiao family has no other children, only my husband has one offspring. In the past few years, the two old people have left one after another, and now there are only three of us, mother and child. "

"My poor son, you don't have to be wronged anymore, Aye discussed it with the patriarch when he was recuperating in Fan Yang's hometown.

Originally, I thought that I would build a house in the alley where you lived and give it to you, and then go to the Renya Market to choose some servants for you to serve you, mother and child,
I will never ask you to be lonely and helpless, and live in poverty. Unexpectedly, today it will end like this. This will see that the house is too small, and it is no longer suitable for you. Ask Aye to think carefully and talk about it in a few days About your house. "

"what!"

"Could it be that our Qiao family is separated by three households, and the big new house has been repaired for half a year?"

"That's right, the old man heard about the matter here in Fan Yang, and he was going to come to solve it immediately, but he was pissed off on the spot.

After recuperating for almost two years, I finally got better. I happened to have other things, so I came here non-stop, wanting to give you justice.

However, Aye is not idle, he inquired about your residence, sent people to buy those houses, demolished the old ones, and built you a new one, so as to take care of the three of you, mother and child. "

Joe was really moved by the old man;
"Aye, it turns out that you were going to avenge me at that time, and the big house has been under construction for almost a year. The neighbors in the neighborhood don't know where the big family came from.

To make the house so grand, and then a bunch of servants lived in it, but the owner didn't come out, so it was all for me? "

"Didn't it just be built for you? Do you really think that we, Mrs. Lu, are all the same as that beast?"

"No, I'm not a fool, why would you think so, Ayemo is going to laugh at me, I'm from a small family..."

"That was in the past, not in the future. That house is not suitable for you to live in. I asked your sister-in-law to arrange a yard for you today. You are the daughter of the old man. Even if you live in it all your life, there will be no one who is not open-eyed and will drive you away. of,

Don't worry about your house, just ask your elder brother to take care of you slowly, but I can't tell you to yell for nothing today.

People depend on food, so old Aye will give you a meeting gift related to food. The family business in our second room has more than a dozen rice and grain shops in Chang'an City.

There are two of them, which were given to me by my mother when the old man separated. I will not move the family business, so I will give these two rice shops in private to you, my child. "

When Mrs. Qiao heard that the respected old patriarch was going to give her two more rice shops, she quickly stretched out her hands, waving them non-stop, and stopped her repeatedly;
"No, no, no, this is too much, I don't dare to ask for so much, the patriarch gave me two shops before, I can't even imagine that such a big shop, with the title deed of the house, Is it all for me?"

Old Situ Lu looked at his daughter who still couldn't believe the facts, with a surprised expression on his face, he couldn't help but smile all over his face;
"Haha, you child, you really know how to please the old man. Just a few shops can shock you like this. You will be shocked in a while."

The patriarch Lu Jide also laughed, the atmosphere in the main hall became much more relaxed, Qiao said very seriously;

"Aye, I just heard from the nephew in the big room that the two tailors and cloth shops earn three hundred guan a year, they are really scared to death..."

Old Situ hadn't been this happy for a long time. The three hundred coins he heard made his daughter so at a loss.
Old Situ Lu held his daughter's hand, choking up a lot of tears from laughing, and the two maids standing next to her took out silk scarves and carefully wiped them for the old patriarch.

The clansmen in the main hall couldn't bear it anymore, but they didn't want to be presumptuous, they smiled softly.

Old Situ finally held back his smile, turned his head and smiled at Lu Jide next to him;

"The patriarch, Rong Zhi, now that I have this girl, if I continue to be so happy every day, I'm afraid I'll live a few more years, and I'll have to eat a few more years of idle food from the clan."

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Everyone in the clan is looking forward to his uncle's longevity. My sister is so interesting, it suits my uncle's appetite.
It's better to be tied to my uncle, so that I can be happy every day, but I can't let it out easily. "

Old Situ nodded very seriously;
"What the patriarch said is very reasonable, don't let it go easily..."

After Lu Shoucheng finished speaking, he turned around and said happily to the other side;

"Second brother, it's your turn, don't be stingy, which one of your families sent away three or four daughters?

As a brother, you are generous and generous every time, and you will bleed today, otherwise you will not be a brother. "

Lu Shouzhu couldn't help being happy seeing his elder brother being happy, and seeing his elder brother joking again, he couldn't help laughing either;
"Bleeding? Brother, don't worry, brother will definitely bleed. Since the two patriarchs have donated the shop, I, as an uncle, will change my tricks. How about with his rich family?"

Qiao's standing there was completely bewildered. This is a shop and Wanguan's. Qiao's doubts whether these people are working together to play tricks on her...

"Ah... just joking, how can I give her ten thousand guan, if you frighten my son, I think three thousand guan is a lot for her."

Lu Shouzhu nodded in agreement;

"Everything is to follow the elder brother's arrangement, then three thousand guan."
