The biggest knot in Xu's life was actually that after she made an engagement with Qin Bai, her father and brother broke off the engagement when they saw the decline of the Qin family. Then, when the Qin family revived a few years later, she made another mistake.
Di was married to Qin Bai's elder brother Qin Song as his stepmother.
If Qin Bai had never returned to the capital in his entire life, and had completely cut off contact since thirty years, maybe Xu would not always miss him. Some things, no matter how deep their impression once was, will slowly change as time goes by.
light.
However, Qin Bai not only reappeared in the capital, his demeanor was even more elegant than before. Compared with the narrow-minded, stupid and conceited Qin Song, Xu's heart naturally felt uncomfortable. Things that were originally bearable became more and more intolerable.
.Things that she originally thought she didn't care about, she suddenly found out that she still cared about them. But she couldn't do anything or say anything. She even had several grandchildren, and Qin Bai and Niu were such a loving couple.
, if she does anything wrong at all, it is just humiliating herself. All she can do is to make up for her past mistakes and do her best.
The same is true for wanting to bring about the remarriage of the Qin and Xu families, and the same is true for wanting to return Qin Bai's mother's private house to him when the family separates. This is just Xu's selfishness, and Qin Bai may not appreciate it, but she wants to do it, and that's also true.
So that’s it.
Qin Zhonghai understood his mother's thoughts and felt sorry for her, but he actually didn't agree very much.
The past has passed. Third uncle Qin Bai doesn't care. He has a new life. Why can't mother Xu forget it? Father Qin Song may have many bad things, but mother still has children and grandchildren like them!
Qin Zhonghai said to his wife Yao: "My mother's idea is good, but if something happens to the Shu Palace, we really need to be careful that the second wife changes her mind and refuses to separate the family. Wouldn't it be a waste of these few months' efforts?
?In my opinion, we should divide the things on the books first. The second bedroom took something from the third bedroom, and they are not willing to return it now. There will always be a day when they will take the initiative to return it. Big brother is too simplistic.
, even if nothing happens in Prince Shu's palace, it is impossible for his family to like Sister Yi. I heard some rumors that Princess Shu has been interacting with several princess mansions and the Duke's mansion recently. There are girls of the right age in those mansions.
. Just by looking at Princess Shu's eyes, you know that she doesn't like Sister Yi anymore. I don't know why the elder brother is so confused, but they will wake up one day. At present, the marriage of the youngest son of Prince Shu has not been decided, what else can they do?
Daydreaming, what can they do when their marriage is settled? By then, we have already separated our families, the second wife has never been a good match, the eldest brother has a low official position, and there is no name and support from the Hou family, so he is so white.
There are piles of family property, and many people are targeting them."
Mrs. Yao understood: "That's fine. With the reputation of our Cheng'enhou Mansion, there is no difficulty in getting those things back from others. We haven't attacked the second wife for many years, it's just because of our reputation."
Mrs. Yao decided to go talk to her mother-in-law Mrs. Xu early tomorrow morning. She still had to ask her mother-in-law for advice on this matter. Qin Zhonghai nodded and reminded her: "If you want to do it, do it as soon as possible and don't delay it too long. I don't know how long it will take at the Shu Palace."
The results will come out in the next day. We need to get things done before the second room hears the news. Although the third girl is young, she has a good saying. If we wait until the second room reacts and we mention the separation, it will be
It’s too late.”
The night was uneventful. Early the next morning, Qin Zhonghai went to the Yamen for business. After Mrs. Yao had freshened up, she went to Songfeng Hall to pay her respects to her mother-in-law Mrs. Xu.
Qin Song, Marquis of Chengen, has been living in his concubine's house, going to bed late and getting up late every day, living a decadent life, and Mrs. Xu ignores him. Now she lives alone in the spacious main house, with so many maids and women waiting on her.
The concubines came to fawn over her every day, and she was living a comfortable life. She had no time to care about Qin Song. As long as he didn't leave the yard and cause trouble to the family's children and grandchildren, she could let him go.
After Mrs. Yao entered the door, she was all smiles. She first asked her mother-in-law how she was, and then went to wait on Mrs. Xu to dress up.
Mrs. Xu had already combed her hair and was putting on hairpins. When she saw her daughter-in-law coming to show her courtesy, she smiled slightly and said, "Why did you come here so early in the morning? I don't have anything to do here anyway. You sisters-in-law don't have to come here every day."
It’s time to relax at dawn and dusk. If you hadn’t come, I could have slept a little longer.”
Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "This is my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law was thinking about the smell of breakfast in Madam's room, so she came here specially to have breakfast. She didn't expect that it disturbed your sweet dream. You really deserve a beating!"
Mrs. Xu laughed a few times, and Mrs. Yao carefully inserted a emerald phoenix hairpin with beading into her temple. Then she supported Mrs. Yao's hand and moved it to the dining table outside. She also teased Mr. Yao: "
Originally, the breakfasts in each hospital were the same. You are the one who takes care of the dishes. You know the dishes very well. What you want to add to yourself is just a matter of words. You insist on saying that the food here is delicious?
, it’s too stingy to come here to have a meal.”
Mrs. Yao smiled and made some jokes, and then served her mother-in-law attentively for breakfast. Mrs. Xu took two bites and then asked her to sit down: "Let's take some together. You're so early in the morning and you have an empty stomach."
Mrs. Yao responded, sat down meekly, and ate half a bowl of porridge. She saw Mrs. Xu eating a bowl of bird's nest porridge, then picked a silver roll, a piece of honey bean yam cake, and bit into half a lotus cake.
, then stopped, feeling secretly surprised in her heart. I wonder when her mother-in-law had such a good appetite? But after Ms. Xu finished eating, Ms. Yao also stopped what she was doing, hurriedly took a sip of tea, and helped her walk to Xinuang Pavilion to sit down.
Next. The girls all retreated one after another, leaving only a swan goose guarding the door.
At this time, Mrs. Yao had just told Qin Hanzhen what she had said yesterday, and mentioned the results of Qin Zhonghai's discussion with her, and finally said: "I have to ask Madam to make up my mind on this matter. Although there are many rumors outside, it seems that the three girls are not
It’s not nonsense. But she is just a child after all, and we don’t know whether what she said is true or false.”
Mrs. Xu frowned, and after a while she asked: "Third girl did say that this is what she heard from your third uncle and Zhao Mo?"
Yao nodded: "Third girl said so. It's just... my wife doesn't know whether she should go to third uncle to confirm. What the second master means is that there are some things that third uncle may not mention openly. What can third girl and a child know?
?She suddenly told me about this matter, and I am afraid she has come to remind us of our concerns on the orders of my third uncle."
Mrs. Xu smiled slightly: "If that's true, then that's right."
Yao was startled: "Madam, what you mean is..."
Mrs. Xu said: "Yesterday, your third aunt came over to sit for a while and suddenly mentioned that your third uncle wanted to go back to his hometown in the south in the near future and asked us if we could handle the separation of the family as soon as possible so that they could rush
Go out. After all, it’s almost August now, and it’s getting colder day by day. If they can’t leave early, they’re afraid that it’ll snow and the canals will freeze, and they’ll be stuck halfway. Not only will life be difficult, but they’ll also miss the opportunity.
It’s time to worship ancestors.”
Yao was shocked: "Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard from my third uncle before that he wants to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors? In this hurry...how to arrange the trip? Should we send someone south immediately and take care of things along the way?"
Mrs. Xu nodded: "You should arrange for someone to do it, and also send a letter back to the clan, asking them to clean out the third-bedroom house." After a pause, she remembered that the house in the old house was rebuilt after the Qin family was rehabilitated.
After repairing it once, because Qin Bai's "whereabouts were unknown", there was no yard for the third bedroom in the old house. Mrs. Xu was a little helpless: "If it's too late to clean up the new yard, let the third bedroom temporarily live in the yard of the second bedroom."
"Anyway, the second bedroom will not go back, and the yard will be useless if it is left empty." The upper room in the main courtyard lives in the long house, but it is not suitable for the third bedroom to live in.
Yao agreed, but felt a little worried: "This matter is too urgent... Even if the third uncle mentions it to us a month in advance, it would be fine. One month is enough for me to let the people below make arrangements for the journey.
It's a matter of time. Now that we are setting off in a hurry, everything must be incomplete. The luggage that Sanfang will take on the way and the people who will accompany him must be prepared. The third aunt is not in good health and fell ill on the way to Beijing.
, I don’t know if I can bear to go south in this cold weather. There are three girls and Brother Zi, they are still children. Brother Zi just got sick a few days ago and his body is weak. What if he gets sick on the way?
What to do? Is it safer to ask another doctor to accompany us? "
Mrs. Xu left it to her daughter-in-law to take care of it: "Go to Qingfeng Pavilion and ask. I heard from your third aunt that she planned to leave as soon as possible. I asked her what was wrong, but she couldn't explain clearly. It seemed like
Your third uncle came to the palace and talked about something with the emperor. He probably remembered the old marquis and the old lady, and was looking forward to going to the old man's grave to offer incense and kowtow, so he suddenly brought up the idea of going south. He said it was
When you go back to worship your ancestors, you actually have to sweep the graves."
Yao sighed: "I see, that's no wonder. After all, we haven't seen each other for thirty years... The third uncle also suffered a lot in the past. He misunderstood that it was the Queen who told him not to come back to the capital. Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, he naturally wants to
Pay my respects to my ancestors. I originally thought that this would happen sooner or later, but I didn’t expect it to be so urgent. The fourth sibling is still buried in Mizhi, and I originally planned to wait until her anniversary is over before moving the grave with my third uncle and third aunt.
It's a matter of time. When the coffins of the four siblings are sent to the capital, they can go back to the south for burial together. But now it's too late."
Mrs. Xu said: "I asked Yingge privately that there is some trouble with the Guan family. They may not be willing to let the third room move their spirits. If that happens, they will be inconvenienced if they want to worship your fourth brother and sister again. The third room
They will probably have to wait for two or three years, until things have changed and the Guan family has relaxed, before they can proceed with the spirit transfer. There is no need to rush this matter. Since your third uncle wants to go back to his hometown in the south, then listen to what he means.
Well. The matter of dividing the family will be carried out in advance according to your third uncle. You don’t have to rush to finish what I asked you before. The most important thing is to get rid of the second wife first. "
Mrs. Xu knew the priority of the matter, and Mrs. Yao understood her mother-in-law's intention when she heard it. She quickly agreed and asked what to do with the second house: "I heard that I haven't found a place that suits my liking. It's ours."
Even if they are dragged along and separated, are they really the same?"
Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "Wherever they like to live, the money is divided equally and they can buy it themselves. Divide the property first, and then slowly move away. They have taken advantage of enough, and everything can be done the same everywhere."
What do they mean?"
Mrs. Yao agreed, but she was a little worried: "We had been delaying the date of dividing the family, but now it has suddenly been brought forward. I wonder if the second wife will become suspicious?"
Xu said casually: "What's so difficult about this? Just let them be happy."
