New Dream of Red Mansions

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the third grandpa and others took Xiyan and Brother You back to their hometown, officially opened the ancestral hall, and recorded Wang Zifei Su and Xiyan You in the genealogy, and even the Zhuang family was recorded as Wang Zifei's mother. On the top, next to it, it is stated that Wang Zifei is the heir, and the Zhuang family has only this son, and the descendants will worship the Zhuang family from generation to generation.

Xiyan and Brother You smiled at each other and knelt down on the ground.

Xiyan and Brother You spent a simple year in Wangjia Village.In the past few days, Xiyan walked around the mountain behind Wang's house curiously, but she still couldn't see anything, so she said to the third grandpa when she came back, "I think it's better to find a gentleman who is good at topography." The survival rate is very low.

Perhaps it was because it was not easy to feed children in ancient times, so everyone didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the reason for the difficult life in the past few years.

The third grandma poured a cup of tea for the third grandpa, and said curiously: "Speaking of these things, these things only started in the past few generations. I remember that my father didn't have these things in those days. Our sisters are all living well. , nothing out of the ordinary."

Sixth Grandpa nodded, "That's right, third brother, look, our parents and uncles are all living well, and our brother was healthy when he was young, but his body began to weaken when he got older. You are studying abroad, but I remember that my elder brother lived to be more than 40, but why are the second brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother so much younger than the eldest brother, especially the fourth and fifth brothers, who are only in their 30s..."

The third grandfather felt that something flashed in his mind, and he wanted to catch it, but it disappeared.The third grandpa looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him with concern, so he smiled and said, "I can't think of anything. Later, your sixth grandpa and I will go to Gusu to find some friends to help. Sister Yan, it's already past the beginning of the new year." It's seven, the Wang family has sent a steward to check it twice, I'm afraid I can't keep you, so go to Yangzhou."

Xiyan nodded, rolled her eyes and said, "Third Grandpa and Sixth Grandpa will go to those shops in the village to get anything they want in the future. They are all left to our siblings by Dad."

The third grandfather shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better not to attract people's suspicion, not to mention, you have already adopted, and what your father left is to stay in the Wang family."

Xiyan laughed and said: "Third Grandpa's words are wrong. Brother You and I are not the ones to adopt, but my father. So Third Grandpa, those things belong to our family."

The third grandpa and the sixth grandpa were taken aback for a moment, then shook their heads and smiled. Their original purpose was to adopt the Xiyan siblings, so they always subconsciously forget that Wang Zifei was the one to adopt.

"But it's true, now our family just needs to live in peace and security, and we really don't need to provoke them." Xiyan has also had a good time, and she really didn't dare to go to Wang Ziteng at this time.

Wang Ziteng is not from the Jin family. Although that person is greedy, he is very smart. Even Wang Zifei has to be careful when confronting him, let alone her?

Xiyan sent the third grandpa and others back to Gusu, seeing that they had settled down in Gusu, and told Brother You to study hard and take care of his health. Then, at the urging of the steward of the Wang family, he got off the boat and went to Yangzhou.

At this time, there was also a boat in Jinling, not far from Gusu, heading for Yangzhou. Lin Yuan was standing on the bow of the boat with his youngest brother Lin Shengchu in his arms. A twin brother pursed his lips and said, "When you arrive in Yangzhou, you have to be well-behaved and try your best to please Fifth Uncle, you know?"

The twins are already ten years old, and the children of the poor have already been in charge of the family. They already knew something. Hearing this, Lin Zhi couldn't help but tighten his lips. Lin Zhi couldn't help but shouted: "Brother, do we have to adopt Uncle Fifth? I don't want to be separated from my elder brother and younger brother. "

Lin Yuan covered his second brother's mouth, seeing that the people around him were excitedly looking forward to what would happen after Yangzhou, they didn't notice them, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "We may not be selected yet, don't make a fuss, Otherwise, if Second Uncle drives us out, we won’t be able to go home.”

Lin Zhi thought of his uncles and aunts at home, and thought he would not go back if he could not go back, but he was at a loss when he thought about where to go. Although his uncles and aunts always asked them to do a lot of work, although they never gave them enough food, The younger brother will not ask a doctor for the younger brother when he is sick, but it is their home after all, and they still have a place to stay. No matter how hard and tired they are, the brothers can lean together to comfort each other at night. There is no place left...

Lin Zhi shuddered.

The twin brother, Lin Hui, grabbed his brother's hand, pursed his lips and said, "We will definitely be selected." As long as one person is selected, their brother can at least be a clerk in Fifth Uncle's shop, and then they will not There is no food.

Lin Yuan is not so optimistic. They have no father and no mother. Uncle Wu must be jealous of them. Moreover, they have too many brothers. I am afraid that Uncle Wu will be more concerned. The chances of them being selected are actually very small, but there is no way. He is not in good health, the money he secretly left has already been used up, the younger brother's health has been getting weaker and weaker in the past six months, if there is not enough medicine, I'm afraid...

He has already secretly inquired that Fifth Uncle gives a lot of money to the family every year, and his family education is also supported by Fifth Uncle. Maybe he can try to ask Fifth Uncle to help him find a job in Yangzhou. Younger brother buys medicine, at least let a few younger brothers eat better.

Lin Yuan made up his mind and didn't care about spending all his last money to get a chance to board the ship. At least they still have hope, don't they?

When Xiyan's carriage was in front, she heard the commotion, and when she got to the second door of Lin's house, the noise not only didn't subside, but became even louder. Xiyan opened the curtain curiously and saw several women at the second door. The son made a loud noise and asked, "What's the matter over there?"

The servant woman of the Lin family who was accompanying the sedan chair was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Miss Yan, don't blame me, those are not servants of our Lin family, but relatives from Jinling who came up with their own children."

Xiyan asked in amazement: "Is it like this every year?"

The servant girl laughed and said, "How can it be like this every year? Our master plans to choose one of his family members to inherit the heir this year. The people over there heard about it and begged for it. Anyway, the boat is big enough. On board."

Xiyan nodded knowingly, it seems that Lin Ruhai is planning to cast a wide net.It's just that he shouldn't be a person who has no plan. Among those people, there are people he likes, right?

Xiyan was right in thinking, the main purpose of Lin Zhong's visit to Jinling this time was to visit, circled the families that were most suitable to be heirs, and came to Lin Ruhai with a notebook.
