Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The magistrate of Zhai asked Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu to sit down in the study, but turned around and went out. After standing for a while, the yamen came to report and repeated what Xu Lichang and Xia Yi said one by one.

The yamen looked at Magistrate Zhai's face and asked hesitantly, "Sir, do you want to send someone to stop Xia Yi?"

The magistrate of Zhai glanced at him and said, "What's stopping him? He did what we wanted to do, so you don't have to worry about it, that's great."

The yamen looked bewildered.

The magistrate of Zhai has already said: "Choose someone who is smarter and go to Hongtian Village. If the Xia family gives money, don't push it, take more and tell them the truth. The daughter of Xia Xin and Zhou Yin is Zhou Man, and she is not only famous in the capital. The genius doctor, who works in the Imperial Hospital, has seen the sickness of His Majesty, the Empress, the Prince and other relatives of the royal family, and it is compiled by the Chongwen Museum, and can be used in the Great Court."

"The young master Bai who was engaged to her was born in the Bai clan in Longzhou, and is from an aristocratic family. In short, she can say whatever she is, you know?"

Servant: ... Didn't their lords get along well with Zhou lord just now? Why are you digging a hole as soon as you turn around?

"By the way," the magistrate of Zhai called to stop the yamen and said, "Tell them again that Zhou Yin was posthumously named Mianzhou Shepherd. Although Xia Xin was deceased, he also had a posthumous title. His Majesty personally praised their husband and wife as righteous persons. "

The yamen left in a confused state, saying so much, didn't the Xia Clan of Hongtian Village take precautions?

Is your Lord partial to Lord Zhou, or partial to the Xia clan?

Magistrate Zhai stood under the corridor with his hands behind his back for a while, then turned to see Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu. Since he wanted to mediate, he naturally had to understand the inside story.

Du Lao and Zhu Lao are not only old, but also have some reputation in Xu Lichang's place. They will know more or less about what happened to the Xia family, not to mention that Du Lao seems to have a good relationship with Xia Xia.

The magistrate of Zhai went in to find out the inside story with the two old people, and Xia Xia was also talking to Zhou Man about the past.

The servants and the yamen all retreated outside, leaving only the three Man Bao and Xia Xia in the room.

Xia Xia originally wanted Bai Shan and Bai Erlang to quit as well, but seeing that Zhou Man didn't seem to understand his look, they didn't mean to avoid suspicion. Considering the relationship between Bai Shan and Zhou Man, he could only With a sigh in his heart, He Man Bao, who could not see the two of them, said, "Your parents left something for you."

Xia Xia said, "Fourteen years ago, your father only said that he would bring your mother back to his hometown to meet his brother and sister-in-law. He sold two plots of land, but the rest is still there."

Xia Xia said in detail: "I know, the house where your grandparents have always lived, in fact, there is another house in Hongtian Village, but it was used as a school for the clan when your grandfather was there, and later for the orphans and widows of the clan. I don't think your parents have any intention of taking it back, so only the two-entry house in Songhua Lane is left."

Xia Xia said: "In addition to this, there are three fields in the village, which are not small and very good. In fact, your father wanted to sell those fields back then, but they were ancestral fields, passed down from generation to generation, and the clan disagreed. , your father couldn't sell it, so he temporarily rented it to others for farming."

"There is another shop that my family rents..."

He obviously knew these things very well, and said to Zhou Man: "In those days your father said yes, he would write a letter when he got back to settle down, because there are still farms and shops here, and rent will always be collected, so he said yes, every year, at most every time. I have to come back every other year, not only to sacrifice your grandparents, but also to collect rent."

"But there was no news from your parents once they left, and they didn't come back for two years," Xia Xia said after a pause, "After that, the clan thought that your parents would not come back. Friendship is good, but the blood relationship is farther away, so it can't stop the clan, they opened an ancestral hall twelve years ago to divide things."

Man Bao had a general understanding, and they were not mistaken. Her parents were indeed unable to come back, so she was not so angry about their division of labor. What she cared about was, "Why did my parents leave Shangzhou?"

She said: "At that time, my father entrusted all the delicate furniture to someone, and my grandparents passed away not long ago, and I was still young. Why?"

Xia Xia was silent for a while and then sighed: "Your father was married, and what the clan thought was to let your grandfather adopt an heir. Before your father appeared, this matter was almost discussed..."

Although Xia Xia didn't call him by name, Man Bao also understood that her father's sudden appearance was blocking the way of others.

"Your grandfather was fine when he was still alive. Your grandfather died of a serious illness. The clan said everything. There were even private rumors that your father poisoned your grandfather to death. They also thought that they couldn't live here any longer. I went back to my hometown to hide for a while, thinking about coming back when things fade away."

Xia Xia said: "Although your father is young, he sees very clearly. Before he left, he told me that if he stayed here, he would most likely have conflicts and disputes with the clan in the future, and your mother's body is not very healthy. Well, at that time, I was always upset about these things, and your health was even worse. He was worried that you would not listen to these things after you understand, so he decided to go back to his hometown."

It was also considering that Xia Xin was in a bad state, that Xia Xia agreed with them to leave. Otherwise, how could he agree to Zhou Yin taking away his wife and daughter when Mianzhou is so far away from Jiannan Road?

Man Bao knew it, looked at Bai Shan and then talked to Xia Xia. Finally, she pulled out a red rope from her collar, and Xia Xia saw the long life hanging at the bottom at a glance. Lock.

His eyes suddenly became hot, and he reached out to her.

Man Bao took off the longevity lock and put it in the palm of his hand, saying, "I wore it since I was a child, my father... My uncle said it was left to me by my parents."

Xia Xia said with red eyes, "I beat this. At that time, your grandfather was still there, but his health was not good. Since your mother said you were pregnant, I started to do it and picked the best silver fuse, because I was afraid of discoloration. I also practiced twice."

He said: "It took you more than three months to make this longevity lock, and the two characters Zhou Xia are engraved on both sides. Except for the longevity lock asked by a noble in the capital, this is the one that I have played in my life. The best piece of longevity is locked."

In another room, Mr. Du was talking to the magistrate of Zhai: "Master Xia grew up poor, and when he went to their court to recruit troops, he was pushed out by his uncle to serve. He was only eleven at that time and was almost taken away. It was Xia Yan who couldn't see it, and persuaded his parents to take the money to give him top service, and later sent him to the county silversmith to learn his craft."

"He is today thanks to Xia Yan for taking care of him in the past, so Master Xia is very grateful. Originally Xia Yan's shop, Zhou Yin, was rented to others to sell groceries. Before the couple left, they told Master Xia to help guard the house and store the goods. The tenant rented a shop, and I didn't expect that the couple would never return."

See you at 9 o'clock in the evening, I have updated three chapters today, and the next chapter will be added.
