When the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was first established, it was not considered the Yu clan in the capital.
Later, after arriving in the capital, I checked the ancestral origin with the Yu clan in the capital and found out that my ancestors were actually from the same clan. At this point, the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was merged into the Yu clan in the capital.
Even because Yu Duanwen was lazy in taking care of things, the position of head of the Yu clan fell on Marquis Zhengyuan.
After arriving in the capital, Mrs. Yu would not do the same things as she had done in the past because of Yu Boyang's fame. She also looked very kind to Yu Boyang. In the eyes of outsiders, although Mrs. Yu was a stepmother, she had always been kind to the eldest son and married her later.
She is still the daughter of An Guogong, but her biological son married the daughter of the fallen Ning family. She feels that it is better for her eldest son than for her own son.
In fact, everything about Yu Boyang was earned by himself. His title, status, and even the marriage were all given by the royal family. If it was Mrs. Yu's intention, she wanted to marry a niece of her own family, but it was Yu Zhongyang who relied on her.
Because of his relationship with Yu Boyang, he married Ning.
Otherwise, even if the Ning clan has been defeated, it will not be Yu Zhongyang's turn.
Because of his eldest brother's relationship with the Ning family, Yu Zhongyang slowly climbed up to the position of official wailang. If he didn't have the backing of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, who would care about Yu Zhongyang.
Yu Boyang's ancestral home is two days' journey from the capital. It can't be said to be too far, but it's not close either. After moving to Beijing, he has cut off ties with that place. But to be honest, other relatives can cut off ties, only Yu Boyang can.
Yu Boyang's aunt couldn't stop him. When Yu Boyang was young, he was often hungry and full. Later, Yu Boyang's aunt couldn't stand it anymore, so she took Yu Boyang and raised him for several years.
Later, it was this aunt who had people teach Yu Boyang how to read and practice martial arts.
But after Yu Boyang became more successful, Mrs. Yu came to ask for her son, saying that her aunt had robbed her son, and that her aunt could not have a son herself, so she just robbed the heirs of the Yu family. There is no such thing in this world.
It is true that my aunt only gave birth to one daughter. Although she was well married, she lacked confidence because she did not have a son. At that time, she really wanted to raise Yu Boyang as her son. Her eldest brother had many sons and she did not care about sons, so she would ask for a son.
, my eldest brother didn’t care anyway.
But she didn't expect that before she seriously brought it up to her eldest brother, Mrs. Yu came to the door to make trouble. He even pushed her daughter, breaking her chin and requiring several stitches.
The aunt was so angry that she went to the door of the then Yu Mansion and slapped Mrs. Yu several times. Yu Zhongyang was also pushed to the ground by her. After that, she had a quarrel with her eldest brother. The two families even broke off contact with each other in anger, indicating that from then on
Bridges lead to bridges, and roads lead to roads. Let's pretend we don't know each other.
Later, before Yu Boyang joined the army, he secretly visited his aunt. He wanted to see this aunt again, but his aunt refused to see him, saying that she had said before that even if Yu Zhongyang was to succeed in the future, she would no longer care about their family, let alone
I won't go back to my parents' home.
Later, Yu Boyang's uncle passed away, and the Yu family didn't express much. They didn't even send anyone to greet him. The aunt's heart became even colder.
Yu Boyang was still in the army at that time and had no information, let alone this matter.
When he came back later and went to see this aunt again, he was rejected directly. Then he went again before going to Beijing and was ignored again. In the end, Yu Boyang could only leave sadly and asked the people in the local area to take more care of him.
aunt.
Mrs. An later married, and every year during the holidays, she would cut off part of it and send it to her aunt, on the pretext of giving gifts to her family. This old lady was really stubborn, and she would throw them out a few times at first. Later, Mrs. An specially made it herself.
I went there once and met this aunt.
Seeing that this noble daughter-in-law of Duke An was willing to put down her status and recognize her, and was grateful for the time she had raised Yu Boyang, my great-aunt recognized the An family, accepted this love, and was willing to associate with the An family.
But with Mrs. Yu, she felt it was better to avoid it.
Later, she accepted the gifts secretly sent to her by the head of the An family, and would also return some gifts, but she kept them secret from Mrs. Yu.
The An family later found a good marriage for their aunt's daughter. Although they were not from an aristocratic family, they were considered well-fed and had a distinguished status in the local area.
Mrs. Yu was a shrewd woman, and her aunt was also hot-tempered. It is said that the two of them had been at odds with each other before their aunt got married, and they had a serious quarrel.
After Yu Lanxuan grew older, Yu Lanxuan took care of this matter. Yu Lanxuan even secretly left Beijing to visit this aunt. She was also polite and respectful to her aunt. After that, she also sent her to Anguo Duke's Mansion.
My aunt gives me gifts, and she even gives me a big gift during the holidays.
Mrs. Yu Tai did not know these things. My aunt was old and did not want to compete with Mrs. Yu anymore. She only told An and Yu Lanxuan that if Mrs. Yu dared to bully them in the future, just come and invite her.
As long as she is alive, she will definitely get up and make decisions for them.
After three years of mourning, Yu Lanxuan still controlled some of her property, especially the stores in her hands. Using these stores, she would still send out annual gifts. Those gifts in return were first sent back to the stores, and then sent to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion with the purchases from the stores.
"Father, do you know about this aunt in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?" Yu Xijiao asked after explaining the cause and effect.
"I do know about this. When Marquis Zhengyuan moved here, there was such an aunt in his branch, and she did follow some of the people who moved here." Yu Ruiwen thought for a moment.
The daughter who married outside the family just made a mark in the family tree. It's very simple and I won't mention it much.
When Yu Zhongyang moved here, everyone in his room also came over. Although this aunt did not come over, she was actually included in the genealogy of the Yu family in the capital. Although it was just a very simple description of who she married and who she gave birth to.
, nothing happened after that, but they must still fall on the same family tree.
The brother-sister relationship with Yu Boyang's father is irrefutable and cannot be doubted.
"Father, I want to invite this great-aunt." Yu Xijiao said bluntly.
"Jiao'er, what's the point of going? If this aunt has no intention, you might as well go with your clan sister." Yu Ruiwen disagreed. He was worried about the two-day journey.
It is not convenient for my daughter to travel around her home, so she is allowed to go out like this.
"Father, there is no need to go to the place of origin. This great-aunt may be coming to Beijing soon." Yu Xijiao shook her head and said with a smile.
"Why... came to Beijing suddenly?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised.
"Actually, it's either going to Beijing or going to Xiaqing Temple to pay homage to Sanqing Zhenren. As you know, most female relatives go to Xiaqing Temple. They say that Shangqing Temple is more popular, but Xiaqing Temple is definitely more suitable for women."
Yu Xi said delicately.
Yu Ruiwen was shocked: "Did you do something?"
"Father, my daughter didn't do anything. She just heard from Sister Yun that this lady might come to Xiaqing Temple in a few days. It is said that she was invited by Mr. Lanxuan County before. You know, because of Mrs. Yu's relationship.
, the two families broke off their relationship, and Lanxuan County Jun did not invite this great-aunt to his wedding."
"The Lord of Lanxuan County invited this great-aunt to come to the lower Qing Dynasty to worship the Three Pure Ones and pray for blessings. By the way, he also wanted to take his newlywed husband to see this great-aunt to recognize him as a relative, and to formally recognize this great-aunt back.
Mrs. Yu is present in the Marquis of Zhengyuan's residence, so it is inconvenient to continue the marriage. The Lord of Lanxuan County wants to continue the marriage himself."
Yu Xijiao blamed Yu Lanyun.
This has actually been my father's wish all along, but because Mrs. Yu has never been able to do it, Yu Lanxuan's original intention was to take over this matter for her father. The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion did not recognize this great-aunt, so the Kangbo Mansion wanted to accept it.
You don’t have to come on the wedding day, but after the wedding, the two families recognize each other and officially communicate with each other. At that time, Mrs. Yu can’t control herself.
When he heard that his daughter was not leaving the capital to go to Yu Boyang's place of origin, Yu Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "I'm afraid not, even if this lady comes to visit, she is still famous compared to Mrs. Yu.
If you are not right, you will need Yu Chengxuan’s consent to separate the family.”
Yu Ruiwen felt that Mrs. Yu was an elder, and Mrs. Yu was even more so. One of them must have been married off.
"Father, you are not just an aunt." Yu Xijiao shook her head. If she was just an aunt, she would be enough. "There is also a support contract."
"What do you mean?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised.
"When all the Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion was moved to the capital, only my aunt's family was left. The aunt was raising her daughter alone. I heard that Marquis Zhengyuan was afraid that someone would bully his great-aunt, so he wanted to keep his great-aunt old.
Accordingly, he rushed to the place again, and with the help of the local Yu clan, he created a document of support to support my aunt for a hundred years."
Yu Xi said delicately.
In fact, this document was not written in a standardized way. It was written when he was a child. Yu Boyang found some clan elders at that time and asked them to testify that he was raised by his aunt when he was a child and did not return until he grew up.
In the Yu Mansion, my aunt originally wanted Yu Bowen to be her adopted son. Although it didn't work out, she did not dare to forget the kindness of raising her and was willing to support him for a hundred years...
The document was actually a written certificate or something like that. However, at that time, Yu Ruiwen wanted the people in his place of origin to take more care of his great-aunt, so he invited many people to bear witness to show that even though he left his place of origin, Yu and his great-aunt were no longer married.
, but they have always been relatives to him, and they are also his responsibility to support.
For the sake of this paper certificate, the local people will also take care of my aunt and daughter, and her husband's family does not dare to treat my aunt harshly. Although my aunt has not remarried for so many years, relying on her husband's family's property,
We had no worries about food and clothing, and no one dared to take away my aunt's share in the name of being a widow with no children.
When this document was established, Anshi and Yu Boyang went there together, and it was also at that time that Anshi met her great-aunt. Yu Boyang and his great-aunt also settled their differences and their relationship was officially broken.
Of course, Yu Lanxuan knew all this history.
"If that's the case... you can indeed argue with Mrs. Yu. The premise is that Mrs. Yu is really not good to the eldest son, or means to treat her harshly." Yu Ruiwen said thoughtfully.
"Father, there will be it!" Yu Xijiao smiled, how could it not be? It will be there soon...
