The road back(29)

Originally, Lin Yutong thought that Xiangling, Xue Pan and Li had little to do with their own family. She just provided a little information to Taoist Zhang, which happened to save Xiangling's life. Now that the mother has taken her daughter back, her mother

The two girls took shelter under the Qingxu Temple. The house was almost adjacent to the Qingxu Temple. Not only was it safe, but they were not afraid of being bullied. As for the house given by the Xue family, they only asked someone to help look after it.

After that, we cleaned as usual. Most of the people employed were those poor families who fostered their children in Qingxuguan. I found a few honest people who could do errands that old men and women could do, and hired people to take care of them.

.There is also the shop in the capital. The business was previously owned by the Xue family. After giving it to Xiangling, the Zhen family did not want to have any close contact with the Xue family, so naturally they stopped doing this business. They only rented out the shop.

She only collects a rent of about a hundred and ten taels a month. As for the property in the south, Feng has temporarily entrusted it to her nephew from her natal family. Her natal family is not a small family, and it is relatively well-known in Gusu.

He is an official, but his family has also produced several talented people. Although his family's property is not too big, it is still considered a high-class family in the local area. In the days after he lost his husband and his daughter, if it were not for his natal family to take over

If I take her back, there will be no future. Now if I don't help, let my parents take care of it first, and wait until I can slowly train my own servants, then we will talk about it.

A few days later, Taoist Zhang asked his fourth master to pick up the talisman. When chatting with Lin Yutong, he mentioned it, saying that the Zhen family's mother and daughter were sincere to the Tao and planned to stay in seclusion for three years without seeing anyone.

Lin Yutong just laughed, and then said meaningfully: "That's fine..."

Zhang Daochang's heart skipped a beat and he whispered, "I really can't hide anything from grandma."

The Zhen family must have known that Xiang Ling was pregnant, but they didn't want to have anything to do with the Xue family. Therefore, they just said that they were going into seclusion and would not see anyone. It would be better if they didn't see anyone. They would wait for three or four years to come out.

The child can run all over the floor. To the outside world, it is only said that he was adopted from the clan, who cares about these nosy matters.

Besides, the Xue family is in such a state of chaos every day, who can still remember Xiangling?

This matter is something that can be seen through but cannot be revealed. Lin Yutong thought that the matter was over at this point.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Xue Pan came to the door. Lin Yutong hid behind the screen and was nowhere to be seen. This fool Xue knelt down to the Fourth Master when he entered the door, and just said: "Damn it, damn it! I collided with him. I really didn't mean it."

What happened?

What are you apologizing to Fourth Master for?

baffling.

The fourth master didn't help him up, he just asked: "You are like this as soon as you come in. I don't know what the reason is."

Xue Pan's face was full of apologies: "...it turned out that I just went to have a drink with Brother Heng's brother-in-law. Who would have expected that he would get drunk and lose his moral character, and offend my sister-in-law..."

Fourth Master’s brother-in-law?

Are you talking about Sun Shaozu?

This sister-in-law?

Should it be that Yu Liu?!

The combination means that Xue Pan violated Yu Liu?!

To be honest, Lin Yutong didn't pay any attention to Sun Shaozu at all. Yu Mei should be honest. Why is she hooking up with Xue Pan again?

Xue Panwu said to himself: "I have already written to the caravan stewards, asking them to propose marriage to General Yu on my behalf. I originally wanted to meet my cousin from the Yu family, but the door of the Yu family was closed, and the master was not there at all. I thought.

After thinking about it, I’d better come here to apologize..."

hehe!

The fourth master smiled and said: "There is no reason for a brother-in-law to take care of my sister-in-law's affairs. What's the crime with me?"

"Then shall I apologize to my eldest sister?" After saying that, he stood up and went to the inner courtyard to apologize to Lin Yutong.

The fourth master stopped him: "You are not an outsider, you know better than others about the Yu family's affairs. My wife doesn't get along with the sisters over there, so this matter has nothing to do with her. Let alone offending her.

Offended. Since you have already asked someone to propose marriage, let's wait for the result. Whether it succeeds or fails has nothing to do with our friendship."

It sounds like he is very close to Xue Pan.

But in fact, our relationship will not get closer just because we become the so-called brother-in-law.

I don't know if Xue Pan understood the subtext of this, but this person still laughed heartlessly: "Let me just say, Brother Heng will never annoy me because of this matter."

After sending Xue Pan away, Lin Yutong came out and sneered: "Sun Shaozu is really capable. He has climbed into the Xue family."

There is no one next to the Xue family, but there are two silver coins. In addition: Xue Pan's uncle is the very popular Wang Ziteng.

Yu Jian had looked for many opportunities to curry favor with Wang Ziteng, but he was blocked by Yu Liang and Fourth Master. Now, he didn't expect that he would go around and around, create complications, and get involved from here. Such a great thing,

What a hell if Yu Jian doesn't agree.

But as the fourth master said, even if it is a marriage, is there any difference between it and my own family?

What's more, Yu Jian's fluttering around is destined to have no results. Even if he is trying to flatter Wang Ziteng.

Because in the palace, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong gave Yu Jian a lot of maggots. Who doesn't know that Yu Jian is a person who doesn't even want his own flesh and blood. This kind of person treats his children like this. Do you expect him to treat his children like this?

What about the king? It is not unreasonable for officials to pay attention to personal ethics.

Promotions must be reported to the officials.

But the civil servants under the direct control of the emperor, civil servants below the fourth rank, may still be able to move around. But the military commanders, especially the military commanders involved with Wang Ziteng, will really die in the future. Every time he is promoted, the emperor's little

Just remember it once in the book.

According to Fourth Master: It is a waste of time to argue with such a small person.

Just cut down the big tree, and the branches and vines that rely on the big tree to survive will naturally wither.

Knowing this truth, even Yu Liang and Shao Hua didn't have too much enthusiasm for this matter, and just did whatever they needed to do.

Aunt Xue knew that Xue Pan had already sent someone to arrange a kiss, and turned away almost angrily: "...That's just a broken house. It's not the same as the brother and sister of the Yu family. If the brother of the Yu family has a sister,

, it’s nothing to ask for marriage. Just looking at the brother and sister, you can tell that they are first-class decent people and first-class smart people. But although the others are also named Yu, they are all sons of the Sun family. Marrying into the Sun family

How about that one? Go and ask around, you will find out that he is a bohemian. Even I, a woman in the inner house, know about it, but you don’t know about it? That sister, if she doesn’t embroider well at home and cultivate her character, she will run away without the consent of her brother and sister-in-law.

What's it like to live at your sister's house? Whose sister lives in her sister's house? Do you have any specific rules?"

Xue Pan came back after drinking wine. He didn't have a bright mind, so he directly said to Aunt Xue: "Mom doesn't live in my sister's house, what's wrong with it? Why can only mom live in my sister's house, but not others?"

Is your sister’s home?”

These words made Aunt Xue so angry that she fell backwards. That night she complained that her chest hurt. She went to the doctor twice and drank medicine before she felt better.

Xue Pan knelt down in front of his mother's bed and apologized weakly, but Aunt Xue just said nothing.

Baochai looked distraught and said, "Mom is really afraid that I have wrongly blamed my brother. I think it is possible that my brother has been plotted against me. Just like what my mother said, there is no serious person in the Sun family. The Yu family

The people over there who live at the end of the alley with the Sun family are the most real relatives, don't they have no contact with each other? That is, the elder brother, who was coaxed into thinking that he was just drinking and having fun, but he didn't know that... his

Plan. Mom, think about it, how can the female family members of the back house, especially the female family members of the back house who are guests, go to the place where the male guests stay for no reason. No matter how bad my brother is, he has never been so reckless..."

"Yes, yes!" Xue Pan nodded repeatedly: "When you are a guest in someone else's house, you don't dare to enter and leave the other person's house casually. I don't know this truth?"

This is true. In ordinary houses, the second gate is particularly tight, and not everyone can get in casually. Just like the Jia family, the second gate is just a fake, but Xue Pan never said that he would go to the place where the female relatives stay.

That person, even the dissolute man in the East Mansion, would never go to the inner house to be rude.

Baochai said: "That's it! How did she, a young lady who is a guest, meet her brother?"

Aunt Xue sat up immediately: "Then a woman with such bad conduct cannot marry into the family."

"But my brother has been rude after all." Baochai said: "But I am just a concubine. My brother asked people to hurry up... Even if it is to spare thousands of taels of silver as a betrothal gift, or to agree to one or two difficult things,

It doesn't matter...as long as they accept it, instead of becoming the first wife, they can just marry her and become the second wife. Come to think of it, there is nothing wrong with it."

Aunt Xue was a little hesitant: "I'm afraid that it will be a little troublesome to propose marriage to your brother in the future. There is a second wife with a decent family background. Whose daughter will come to the house?"

Baochai shook his head: "Mom thought that after the marriage with the Zhen family was settled, my brother would have any good marriages? The person who was going to marry that day was from our family. In order to absolve his brother, he just said that he had been with the Zhen family since he was a child.

We have decided to marry our baby, this kind of marriage has already happened, and the Zhen family has collapsed, so we just made peace and divorced. That day, I persuaded my mother that this can't be like this, but she didn't believe it, so it must be

I want to call He Li. But what will outsiders think? Are we also afraid that something will happen to their family in the future, and we are so ruthless? There are many good families in the world, and there are so many people with rich families, so why take this risk?

So. Therefore, from now on, don’t think about girls from high-ranking families. Just find a girl who is well-matched, has a good temperament and knows etiquette, and can act quickly and manage the family. Even if the family background is lower, there is no problem.

If you think so, marrying a second wife is not a big deal. It's the lesser of two evils, but what else can you do? If you don't admit it, it's easy for the Yu family to say that the brother and sister may not be happy for their sister to be their second wife.

But the Sun family is the most shameless. If something unexpected happens, we will be the shameless ones."

Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly, saying that Baochai's words were very reasonable, and then scolded Xue Pan: "Don't do what your sister said."

Xue Pan did not move: "My sister only thinks about the first one, but not the second. No matter how bad the Yu family is, the master of the Yu family is still a general. He is a serious official of the fifth rank. There is also a cousin of the Yu family.

, is also in the seventh rank! Not to mention Brother Heng, only Sun Shaozu has no actual position, but he still has a title. Even though the girl is a daughter-in-law and a concubine, she is still an official lady. But what about our family?"

Merchant family!

Baochai's face turned red immediately after being rubbed, and she just twisted her face and said nothing.

Xue Pan said: "If I marry that girl, there may not be many benefits. But if I get a second bedroom, I will trample the Yu family's face to the ground. I'm afraid that with the Yu family and the Heng brothers,

That is to say, there is a rift. They were barely relatives at first, and we were the ones who were trying to get along with each other. But now their sister has become a concubine, and they have become the concubine’s natal family. How can they be considered serious relatives...

What should I do if I have offended someone like this? Yes! My uncle and my uncle's family can give our family some support, but Brother Heng...how do my mother and sister know that our uncle, uncle, aunt are willing to offend others for us. We

What does my family have? But what does my family have? Has my sister ever thought about these things?"

this?

Aunt Xue became increasingly dilemma.

What my daughter said makes sense, and it is indeed for the sake of the family. Such an arrangement is appropriate in the inner house.
