suspected wife

The Fang family in the seat was really shocked when he heard what the youngest daughter-in-law said.

She gave birth to two sons, and the eldest son, whom she had hoped for since she was a child, would not be able to become a martial artist, but now he is just hanging up a idle job, and I am afraid that his official career will be limited in the future.

On the contrary, this youngest son is promising.

In his thirties, he was already a household doctor of the fifth rank, and he might be able to rise to the first rank in the future.

She will count on this little son for the rest of her life, so she can't ruin his future.

Just as I thought about it, I heard her eldest daughter-in-law, Fang, say: "Sister-in-law, you don't feel pain in your back when you stand up and talk. Your man has brought a lot of money to the family, so of course he doesn't like the things that are distributed by the family." , It’s a pity that our family still has to rely on these ancestral properties to live.”

When Yang heard this, she curled her lips secretly.

Most of the dowry left by the great mother-in-law fell into the pockets of her husband and wife.It's too embarrassing to call him poor in front of her.

There are many aunts and concubines in their room, and the man likes to throw money into flower houses. She can't be a family by herself, who is to blame?

However, Mrs. Yang has always been smart, so she only served tea and didn't talk about it.

And Qiao Jingya glanced at his elder brother Qiao Jingcang.This brother can be regarded as mud can't support the wall.Even with Qiao's family members and his care, he couldn't help him up.

Now the clansmen have all witnessed the separation of their family members, so what if they just jump around?

Not to mention Fang's room, even Liu's room is not in vain compared to Fang's.

Since ancient times, money has attracted people's attention. Who thinks that too much money will burn their hands?

Besides, compared to the Fang family, the Liu family wanted to gain the status of the concubine and the approval of the clan.

She was originally married twice.A widow who married into Qiao's family was regarded as a high-ranking widow, but because she had a cousin who was a concubine in the palace, she was naturally overwhelmed.

When Concubine Liu was here, no one dared to speak of her identity.Now that Concubine Liu and her son are gone, her status as a widow and remarried will naturally be brought up.

God knows how much she resents this identity.

I wanted to confirm the identity of her wife when her cousin was still there, but Qiao Xingcun never gave her an accurate answer.dragged her all the way.

Now that he is dead, he has distributed a lot of his family property.Now it's her son who wants to use official power to suppress others, and others probably won't buy it.It made people bring up her identity again and again.Now that the damned family has been found again, it will be even more difficult for her to sit in the main room.

"Shan'er, although your cousin is gone, his sons are still here. Why don't you write a letter to the county palace?"

After hearing this, Qiao Jingshan frowned and walked around in the flower hall.

"Mother, my cousin wasn't too warm to me when I was here, let alone his sons. It's just a matter of saving face. Besides, we don't take advantage of this kind of thing. How can I ask others to help?"

Mrs. Liu frowned after hearing this, sighed, and said, "Hey. If only your aunt was still here."

When Concubine Liu was around, who didn't treat their mother and son as the main house?Which one of the usual banquets did not personally deliver the invitation to her?

Now the family is back.She, Mrs. Liu, has become an aunt?And her son has become a bastard?

Qiao Jingshan was also very unwilling.

As his mother and aunt, how can he gain a foothold among his colleagues?

I am afraid that some people will block his promotion in the future because of this, and his official career will be limited.These years, he only cared about using the convenience of Qiao's family to plan for him, and the annual evaluation was only mediocre.What will happen in the future is really up in the air.If he is the concubine's status, even the clansmen will support him.

It's just that now that house of people has enticed all the clansmen, and it's still a family this morning.I'm afraid that their family has no good way to stop each other.

Qiao Jingshan was very anxious.

With his father Qiao Xingcun's departure, there is no one in their long house in the court.Wait until Ding You ends next year.Whether the original errand can be kept or not is another matter.

The mother and son are completely helpless about the current situation.

After a while, Mrs. Liu remembered Fang's room, and smiled again.

She only has one son and two grandsons, and thanks to her cousin in the palace, she has obtained a lot of good things these years.As for Fang's house, she just got her mother-in-law Fang's dowry, and it has been almost defeated by her eldest son these years.Her Fang family has two sons and six grandchildren, and she is more impatient than she is.

Over the years, she has been competing with the Fang family for favor and for the honor of the mansion, trying to force Qiao Xingcun to mention them as the main wife.She, Mrs. Liu, only wished that the people in that room would be gone as early as Mrs. Lan. Now she can see Mrs. Fang anxious and worried, and she feels very happy.

Her son is just one wife and two concubines, and there are not so many people in their house, so the house they moved to West Street can completely accommodate them.As for the Fang family, there are many people. There are wives and concubines sharing the house, and there are a bunch of concubines and concubines. If they want to get married, they need a dowry.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.

On the other side, Lan's side can't control too much.

Now that their family has just come back, they have a lot of thoughts and things to do.Those two people thought she didn't exist, and she was happy.

When she finished giving her orders, she just sat in the flower hall to rest, and then heard a report from outside, saying that some maidservants came down to get the work done.

Lan's is currently short of manpower, so he doesn't care about these fools.

This ancestral house is very large. Over the past hundred years, through the management of several generations of the Qiao family, the ancestral house now occupies an entire street in Yizhou.In the ancestral house, the big courtyard is covered with a small courtyard, and the small courtyard is covered with an embroidery building. Everywhere needs to be guarded, cleaned, and paddle-washed, and there must be a flower room, sewing room, porter, sedan chair, kitchen, paddle-washing place, and interior. The first, second and third grades serving in the courtyard and the rough envoys...

Where is there no need for people like this?

Lan's family heard that there were servants from the ancestral house who came to serve as consuls, so they confessed that they were still working in the same place.

The servants were grateful and went happily.

Anyway, at least the job was saved.

This Qiao family is a big family in Yizhou. If they are kicked out, even if they can find a job, they will not be as comfortable as the Qiao family with so much monthly money.

After the work of the servants was finished, Xiangxiu came to report that the public treasury in the government and the small warehouses in various courtyards were occupied, and the people guarding the warehouses were unwilling to clear and register.

And it's not easy for her to bring someone to force the door in.So I came to ask Lan's advice.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan waved his hand and said, "Tell them that they are restricted to clear out their own things today. After today, not only the public treasury, but also the things in the small warehouses of each courtyard will be owned by the long house. If you don’t come out, they won’t let them take you away.”

It doesn't make sense for you to think that I don't exist, I still eat and drink, and use my house, money, and rice to provide for you!

As far as the family is concerned, I don't have a clear calculation with you. If you want to take it away, just take it away. If you still regard the ancestral house as your own, then keep it, and don't even think about taking it away in the future.

After hearing this, Xiangxiu answered yes, and took people down again.

After a while, the matchmaker in Yizhou City got the order and brought a hundred or so people for Lan's selection.

There are girls in their teens, boys in their teens, families who prostitute themselves, older men and women, some who can read, some who know how to settle accounts, and some who know a lot of skills...

Men and women lined up in a long line for Mr. Lan to choose.

Lan's intended to train Mother Qiao and Qiao Mingjin sisters, and brought them all along when picking people.

This picking people is definitely a science.

In addition to looking at its appearance, to see whether the body is healthy, whether there is any disability, but also whether the eyes, words and deeds are honest and responsible.

It doesn't matter if you are stupid, you can do things if you take the trouble to teach it. If you are such a treacherous and unreliable person, you will only cause trouble if you ask for it.

Now is the time for the Lan family to employ people. Anyone who has a skill, such as literacy, accounting, growing flowers and crops, or being an excellent female celebrity, or combing hair well, or cooking well... can be hired. stay.

There was a thin yellow girl, afraid that Qiao Mingjin and others would not pick her, so she anxiously recommended herself, saying that she would burn fire.Know what firewood to use for cooking and what kind of firewood to use for porridge.

In the end, this little girl was also left behind by Ming Qi.

Seeing that she caught Ming Qi's eyes, Lan made her a third-class maid by Ming Qi's side.

Ming Qi was very happy, and personally named her "Shan Xing".

As for Qiao's mother, because she was promoted to the future wife of the Qiao family's ancestral house, not only the first, second and third class maids had to be selected, but also the rough envoys, the maids inside and outside the second door, the gatekeepers, the greenhouses, the paddle washers, and the needleworkers. Housing and so on, the main courtyard needs a lot of candidates.

It was the first time for Mother Qiao to face such a scene.

Although she had gone through yesterday's reception banquet and had made some preparations, she still felt a little bit difficult in the face of choosing someone in person.

I haven't transitioned from the farmer's family in my heart.

Looking at this group of people, they all feel that they are the same as before, and it doesn't matter which one they choose.Those who can't be selected are worried about hurting them and making them lose their jobs.

Very difficult.

Lan Shi took a look at her, so he had no choice but to take her to choose candidates from various places.

Every time I pick a person, I have to explain it to her in detail.Why you chose this person, what role this person will play in the future, what you want this person to do, etc., all mentioned in detail.

Mother Qiao listened and memorized, and gradually calmed down.

There are a few rough envoys who were chosen by her herself.

Looks very honest.Mother Qiao didn't know much about the twists and turns. When picking someone, she only looked at the eyes of the other person and their hands. If there were thick calluses on the hands, they would stay.

Joe's father and mother's main courtyard picked the most people.Then came the Lan family's Sanchun hall, and then the courtyard of Qiao Mingjin's three sisters.

In the end, Lan Shi also chose a wet nurse for Wan'er.

This nurse Qiao Mingjin didn't want it at all.Wan'er is long past the age to breastfeed.

But Lan said that when she went back to the ancestral house, she was afraid that Qiao Mingjin would have many things to do and socialize in the future, and the little maids would not be able to take care of Wan'er well because of the lack of experience.

Wan'er is now six years old.There's no need to breastfeed anymore, it's just that someone needs to help Qiao Mingjin take care of her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
