Inheritance policy

Chapter 13

The carriage turned around the Shunzhen Gate, and the Marquis of Lin'an was near.Not long after, I heard the commotion outside, women and maidservants from all houses and courtyards were waiting at the door, helping the master to go back.

He Yan, He Erye and Mrs. Tai told Ann, and one went back to the main courtyard and the other to the East Kua courtyard.

Mrs. Tai took He Yan and confessed: "Your daughter-in-law drank too much, and Ying Yi forced her to drink because of her naughtiness. You are not allowed to blow your beard and stare at her."

After hearing this, He Yan's complexion was cloudy, so he nodded in agreement.

With an indifferent expression, Xing Zhao folded his skirt and knelt down to salute: "Father, mother, second uncle and second aunt, please go." Then he turned around and helped Mrs. Tai, and walked to Rongshou Hall.

The two little maidservants in front were lighting sheepskin horn lamps, and the shadows were drawn long and cast on the ground.Or listen to the whistling of the wind and the rustling of leaves.As soon as he calmed down, Xing Zhao's heart was in a mess, he bowed his head and counted steps, one step and two steps, the closer he was to the main hall, the more dazzling the light in front of him.

"Ah Wu, there is something wrong with you coming out of the Listening Hall. I asked Suqing to ask Lianyu, but Lianyu refused to say anything, but said that you were cold." In the silence, the old lady's voice was unhurried. Soothing.

Xing Zhao lowered his head, listened to Mrs. Tai's words, first stared at the green brick, shook his head, then nodded, and then stopped talking.

Mrs. Tai didn't ask any further questions, and stepped into the main hall. Mrs. Tai waved her hand, and the girls nodded and retreated. Lianyu looked at Xing Zhao worriedly, and Xing Zhao nodded at her.

As soon as the girls left the door, Suqing pulled Lianyu over and was about to ask, but seeing Lianyu holding back her tears and peeking inside secretly, Suqing felt a pain in her heart and swallowed the words in her mouth.

Only Xingzhao and Mrs. Tai were left in the main hall.

Mrs. Tai took off her cloak, and Xing Zhao took it and hung it on the flower stand on tiptoe. Mrs. Tai leaned on the kang and held up the teacup: "Is it because of your mother?"

Xing Zhao pursed his lips tightly, and sat in front of him with a brocade stick.

The old man has never seen any storms, his eyes are poisonous, Xing Zhao claims to have been a man in two lifetimes, and he is sure that he is still trying his best to be calm and thoughtful in his actions today, unexpectedly Mrs. He can see it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Who brought you up? Who knows your temperament best? After you returned to the Tingyin Hall, when you brought the teacup, your hands kept shaking. After listening to the play, You went to see your mother. Although you kept laughing."

As Mrs. Tai said, she pointed to her eyes with her finger: "That smile didn't reach this end."

Xing Zhao kept thinking in the carriage whether he should talk to Mrs. He.Having said that, how will the elderly deal with themselves?Which is more important, son or daughter-in-law? Let's talk about the matter, what should the old man do if he can't bear it...

Xing Zhao clenched his hands and closed his eyes, unable to make a choice.Opening his eyes again, he seemed to be cruel.Looking at Mrs. Tai firmly, she said softly, "Grandmother, you are the only person who is most willing to believe in Ah Wu in this world. You are also tired today. It was a hard day without a rest last time. Tomorrow morning, Ah Wu will definitely I've told you everything."

Mrs. Tai looked at the little granddaughter in front of her, and shook Xing Zhao's hand. The little lady's hands were cool to her fingertips, and then she pulled her hair scattered between her temples behind her ears, and said softly: "Awu, do you remember?" That's good. No matter what happens, you still have grandma."

The Rongshou Hall finally turned off the lights and quieted down, but the second master's Dongkua courtyard was about to explode.

In Yuehua Pavilion, Xingming was crying so hard that he couldn't catch his breath, so he threw the handkerchief in his hand on the ground, and cried, "I won't marry to Huang's house! Whoever wants to marry can marry." ! Can the Huang family be a good one? The ancestors were a salesman! Only these two generations have made a fortune, and then it will start to be a big deal! What is it!"

"Look at your rambunctious appearance! You look like a big lady again!? Marriage is always the order of your parents, how can you get a little lady to talk about it! It's not the parents who let you marry, you have to marry whoever..." The second lady supported her forehead, and counted the details with her fingers: "Look, our He family has a high lintel, but what kind of official is your father? Is he a knight or a cabinet? Why should a better family Don't want He Xingzhao to want you? The Huang family has a shallow foundation, and a shallow foundation also has the advantages of a shallow foundation. As long as the He family is here, they will not dare to neglect you..."

Liu's mother next to her picked up the handkerchief and put it on the small yellow pear wood case. She wrung out the handkerchief and wiped Xingming's face, saying, "My girl! Have you ever seen a wife who is still with the little one?" The lady was discussing the marriage? This is because the lady loves you!"

Xingming was at a loss for words, rubbed warm water on his face, but his anger was stuck in his heart. He deeply felt that Huang's house was not a good place to go, and it was not easy to say what Huang Sanniang said at the banquet. He raised his hand and knocked Liu's mother's hand off, crying into tears The tearful man: "Mother loves me so much! She pushed me into the fire pit! If Xing Zhao married equally, he would marry into a noble family. If he married high, he would marry into a royal wife! I dare not think about it, But I don't want to marry a self-righteous salesman either!"

The second lady laughed back in anger, stood up, paced and said, "Okay! I'm that wicked stepmother who married my daughter into that fire pit!"

After persuading one side and the other, Mother Liu sighed: "Third Miss, this is poking your mother's heart with words! What's more, if you don't look around and talk about your relationship, where did the marriage come from?"

Xingming listened to what he said, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Then what about the Huang family can't be done right?"

"I'm sure I can't do it right now! It was Mrs. Huang who initiated it. It was agreed that I would go to Dingguo Temple with the second lady to offer incense in two days, and see each other along the way. If you can't see each other, it's not too much to do." Mama Liu said to Xingming winked and signaled her to coax the second wife.

But Xingming heard other meanings from the words, and sneered: "The leader of the Huang family... I knew that their family had bad intentions. They came to climb our second room if they couldn't climb up to the big house. No fish or shrimp, they are fine. It's a good plan!"

The second lady sighed softly, remembering that Second Master He Huan was out of tune, and remembering that Jiang Cai was just discussing with He Huan, saying that the Huang family had a vague idea of ​​wanting to get married.He Huan agreed with a smile on his face, but no one knew, he just thought that Uncle Huang was in the household department and was good at making money, his official career was prosperous in the past few years, and Mr. Huang was good at speculation and had a lot of money.

"You don't have a biological brother, and there will be no one to help you in the future. Although the big house is close, after all, it is separated by a layer. When I help you talk about marriage, just look down. You married in the past, no one else will do it anyway." Dare to neglect you. A woman's natal family is strong, and she can still talk in her husband's house." The second wife felt exhausted, and He Huan had no children, and she often blamed her when she spoke.She acts arrogant and capable in front of outsiders, but when meeting He Huan, she always feels that she is in the wrong.

Xingming sobbed and wiped away his tears. She was not ignorant of the second wife's situation, and shook the second wife's hand: "What annoys me is not whether I marry low or not. I don't want to marry into the Huang family. People with low lintels If there are too many, I must see the Huang family..."

"What's wrong with the Huang family? It's rare for a scholar's family to run a business. Marry, marry, eat and dress. The Huang family has a solid foundation, so there is no need for the whole family to stare at your dowry like wolves. She is a lin student, and now she is studying in the Imperial College, her future is limitless. Mrs. Huang can be a man again, she is a kind person, not like a mother-in-law who can handle her daughter-in-law. After calculation, the Huang family is the most popular in the church today. It's a suitable family." The more the second lady thought about it, the more she felt better, she took a sip of clear tea, put down the old blue kiln teacup, and was about to open her lips to speak again, but when she heard the "boom" of the red candle, she couldn't help Smiling all over the face: "The lights are bursting, good things are coming!"

Hearing what his mother said, Xingming became even more excited, and became anxious, and couldn't care less: "You, mother-in-law, is it good, and the husband is good, too, why didn't you think that there is a mean sister-in-law in the Huang family?" Woolen cloth."

The second wife was taken aback for a moment, but it was Liu's mother who took the silver stick to pick up the lanterns and asked, "What is the third girl saying?"

Xingming curled his lips, watched the candlelight flicker to the east, then to the west again, and said in a cold voice: "Huang Sanniang said at the banquet today that although my surname is He, I am no more respectable than the serious He family. Don't look down on us, why should we have such a hot face... go and hum"

After all, she was raised by the Marquis of Lin'an, her upbringing prevented her from talking, she just hummed softly and turned her head away from looking at the candle.

Only then did the second lady understand, on the one hand she was reluctant to ruin the good marriage because of a sister-in-law who was about to marry off, on the other hand she couldn't swallow Huang Sanniang's words, she frowned and remained silent for a long time, Xingming waited for a long time before hearing the second Madam said: "Forget it, go to bed after a day of tiredness, and go to say hello to Madam Tai tomorrow morning, Madam Tai can always make an idea."
