Aunt Xue of the Red Chamber

"Old lady, eldest lady is having a difficult labor!" Early in the morning, old lady Jia had just had some breakfast, and before she had eaten much, she saw a generous woman rushing over to report.Old Mrs. Jia didn't salute like this old lady, and said such a disappointing thing early in the morning, which made this old lady angry.Thinking that maybe the eldest daughter-in-law is really not good, thinking of this, Mrs. Jia couldn't sit still anymore, put down the dishes, got up and went to the big room, and the maid who served her hurriedly followed.

As soon as I entered the Mengchen Courtyard, I heard the voice of the eldest daughter-in-law in the delivery room, and the voice of the midwife, "Madam, if you try harder, the young master's head is exposed!" The maid was there too, swaying around in a panic.The old lady Jia asked: "How long has the eldest lady been in?" Leng An, the eldest maid in the eldest lady's room, saw the old lady coming, and hurriedly saluted and replied: "If you go back to the old lady, it has been three hours. The old lady Jia shouted: "Nonsense! Why are you only going to the main courtyard to answer the question now?" Leng An said: "It was activated at the time of the wife, and I thought I would give birth at the time of Chen or Si. What's more, it's night, old lady! I should be asleep, the eldest lady ordered, I don’t want to wake up the old lady because of this. It was just now, seeing that the wife couldn’t give birth for a long time, and she didn’t have a backbone, so she decided to send someone to invite the old lady!” The old lady was already After falling asleep, seeing my daughter-in-law being so considerate, I was even more anxious for her.The old lady Jia looked again and asked, "Where are you elders?" Leng An said cautiously: "If you go back to the old lady, the master is resting in Aunt Duan's room." Old lady Jia said: "You didn't talk to the elder Said that the eldest lady is about to give birth." Leng An knelt down and said: "Returning to the old lady, the servants went to talk to the master, and the elder said that Auntie Duan is about to give birth, and there are many people serving the wife here. But come here, wait until you give birth, and then go and answer." Mrs. Jia was trembling with anger when she heard this.He ordered: "Lai's family, you go to that aunt's room and call the elder and that aunt over. I want to ask them, what's the reason why they don't come when the mistress is giving birth?" Mama listened and hurried to go.

Although Mrs. Jia said that she was dissatisfied with the background of her eldest daughter-in-law, even though she came from a scholarly family, she could not help the Jia family, who started with military exploits, and could not add any help to Brother She.But there are still a few officials in the Zhang family who are officials in the court. If there is an emergency, the Zhang family comes to ask for someone, will the family still have a reputation?Thinking of this, Mrs. Jia took her daughter-in-law into the delivery room.

"Boss daughter-in-law, don't worry and give birth to a brother! Mother is here to watch over you!" Old lady Jia patted Zhang's hand comfortingly. "Old lady! The daughter-in-law can't do it anymore! I just hope that the daughter-in-law will give birth to a child and be taken care of by the old lady!" Mrs. Zhang also knew that her husband didn't come to see that night, and he didn't even send someone to ask.She can no longer count on her husband for her child, but only hopes that the old lady can help take care of her. After talking to the old lady, Zhang's heart is relieved, and she will give birth to her child with all her strength.

Mrs. Jia heard such ominous words from the eldest daughter-in-law, and knew in her heart that the eldest daughter-in-law was looking at her badly, and that the elder could not count on her, and entrusted the child to herself, the old lady.Sitting on the chair brought by the women, the old lady recited Buddhist scriptures.

"Old lady! The eldest lady gave birth to a healthy grandson!" The midwife returned with a package in her arms.Mrs. Jia took the child in her arms and asked, "Where's the eldest lady?" The midwife knelt down and replied, "The old woman is incompetent! The eldest lady is gone!" Mrs. Jia hugged her brother in her arms and ordered: "Don't worry about it. It's your business." Then he ordered Leng An: "Give your wife a good freshen up first!"

He went back to the main courtyard with his newborn brother in his arms.

"Master, the eldest daughter-in-law is gone!" Although Jia Daishan's health is not good, he still has to say something about such a big event.Mrs. Jia said. "Where's the baby?" Jia Daishan paused.Mrs. Jia brought the brother in the package to Jia Daishan: "Give birth to a brother!" Jia Daishan looked at the child and wrote with a pen: "This child is called Jia Lian! Hulian! Hulian!" Old lady Jia Hearing this, he knew that Jia Daishan was thinking of the missing brother Hu.

After the first seven days of the eldest wife Zhang's, the Zhang family came.It was Zhang's brother who came, the current left counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.This time the elder brother of the Zhang family came, and he went directly to Jia Daishan and said, "My little sister is gone now, so I can't take care of my elder brother Lian, so I asked my aunt to take care of her. My aunt also took the dowry of my little sister, and I will give it to you in the future." Brother Lian. After all, Aunt Duan in the house is about to give birth. Presumably when Aunt Duan is born, the Eldest Master will not have time to educate Brother Lian." This means, anyway, the aunt in the big house is about to give birth, and now even When my younger sister gave birth, the elder didn't even go to see it, but just guarded this aunt. When this aunt is born, will there still be room for brother Lian in the big house?Jia Daishan also knew that he had to blame his son for this matter, no matter how much you dote on that aunt, you have to go and see if the wife of the main house has a baby.Well now, it's all your fault.But for this aunt Jia Daishan, she has already made up her mind.As soon as she became pregnant, brother She could be forced to quarrel with his wife, so that the eldest daughter-in-law could only stay in bed to support the baby. I remembered that brother She and daughter-in-law were able to take care of the house when they were pregnant with brother Hu. This brother Huai Lian let go of the housekeeping power and rested in bed; when Brother She and his daughter-in-law gave birth, he even asked Brother She to watch over her all night and did not go to see her. It seems that this aunt cannot stay.Otherwise, the Rongguo Mansion might not know how to make her domineering.After making up his mind, Jia Daishan didn't dare to ask his elders for money. After all, this matter was still his son's fault, and this Zhang family still gave birth to two grandchildren for Jia's family.The good words comforted Brother Zhang's family, and promised that his wife would take good care of Brother Lian.

"Auntie, my wife is gone!" The little maid came over to announce the good news to Aunt Duan. "Congratulations to Auntie, with the master's love for Auntie, when Auntie gives birth to a brother, I will help Auntie to be the wife of the house right away! When the time comes, Rongguo Mansion will be Auntie's, no, Mrs. Duan's!" Xiang Xiang Calyx complimented.When Aunt Duan heard this, she couldn't help but feel proud. No matter how much your Zhang family is a lady from a scholarly family, no matter how proficient in everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are a maid, and you don't know anything. do not like you.No matter how you are the wife of the main house, if you say that your stomach hurts, you will have a difficult labor, and the master will not go to see you.

"Master, do you really intend to let Brother Xi become the noble?" Mrs. Jia asked. "I see that I don't have many days left. I hope the Holy Majesty can take it for my own sake and let Brother Xi successfully ascend to the title! Maybe I can also receive the gift of the Holy Majesty and give Brother Zheng a title! Otherwise, wait until he takes the Jinshi examination , with political achievements, who knows what year and month it will be!" Jia Daishan planned.After hearing this, Mrs. Jia didn't take it seriously. Her political brother is capable, and it's no problem to be the number one in the exam in the future.However, he will not refuse anyone who the Holy Majesty can bestow upon him with a half-official title.After all, my brother Zheng is capable and talented, maybe the sage heard it, and brother Zheng didn't even have to take the exam, so he gave him an official position.

After discussing with his old wife, Jia Daishan wrote a letter to the sage, asking his son to win the title.The emperor read Jia Daishan's notes, and then thought of the news from Rongguo Mansion, he agreed, Jia Daishan's notes.In addition, Jia Daishan's second son, Jia Zheng, was rewarded as an official of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Fifth Grade Industry.Jia Daishan's wife, Shi Shi, was granted the first-rank imperial lady; Jia Xie's wife, Zhang, was granted the second-rank wife; Jia Zheng's wife was granted the fifth-rank Yiren.

After the imperial decree was issued, Rongguo Mansion was full of excitement.Jia Daishan's wish came true.The imperial decree was enshrined in the ancestral hall, and the family was sitting in the main hall of the main courtyard, when they saw a woman running in and shouting at Jia She: "My lord is not good! Aunt Duan is gone!" Jia Daishan listened, and the last hidden worry came to him Unplugged, relieved, actually went.Old lady Jia burst into tears when she saw it, and Jia Amnesty couldn't go to see Aunt Duan at this moment, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were beside her, persuading old lady Jia to cry.

47 The couple's talk about Anya's pregnancy again

"What did you say in the letter?" Anya looked at Xue Ze's expression of joy and worry.Xue Ze let go of the letter: "Although Xue's family doesn't have any capable supporters in the capital, the second brother has secured his seat by himself. This letter says that the younger siblings are happy. But the old man of the Rongguo Mansion, Mr. Jia, is gone. His Majesty's grace decreed that his eldest son should become a nobleman, and his second son was appointed as a fifth-rank official." When Anya heard that Jia Daishan was gone, Jia Zheng lived in the main house with Jia's mother, and Jia She lived in another courtyard. up.Thinking of this, he asked, "Brother, what happened to the Rongguo Mansion?" Xue Ze asked, "Isn't Jia Zheng's wife your sister? Speaking of which, Jia Zheng is still my brother-in-law." Cho also pretended to be profound and stroked his mustache.Brother Pan was also imitating his father's way of touching his chin with his little fleshy hand, so he was naked.Look at his father's chin, touching his own.Xue Ze and Anya laughed when they saw their son's action.Xue Ze hugged his son and put him on his lap and said, "Although my grandfather didn't risk his life for his future like Duke Rong and Ning Guo, he also served the court. When my grandfather was born, he served the court and became a Merchant. Although he is an imperial merchant, he is still inferior to the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Shi family. After we go, we will dedicate all the family property earned by our grandfather to the Holy One, so that my grandfather can posthumously give an official position. With a background in the examination, I was able to be the first official of the fourth rank, referring to my younger brother, and the official of the fifth rank; and as soon as Rong Guogong wrote the letter, his eldest son was smoothly demoted to the rank of noble, and the second son was given a rank of five. Official position." After hearing this, Anya felt that it was nothing, after all, this society is for scholars, farmers, businessmen.Thinking of the descendants of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, and then thinking of the sticky place of Yongzheng, he said: "Huansheng's words are wrong. Although my grandfather became a businessman, he was still there when I entered the door. I never heard of it." Grandfather once complained. It can be seen that although grandfather is a businessman, he is still happy to serve the Holy Majesty. As for Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Shijia and our Wang family, they all traded their lives. The ancestors are poor. But in the end it is still a matter of chance. What's more, when you go out to fight, you don't need money to buy military rations and clothes. When you and your younger brother donated your family property, the Holy Majesty may have thought of this before giving it to your grandfather and grandmother What about them. After all, the Xue family is different from the other families. Our family has nothing but the title of grandfather. The Holy Majesty granted the official positions of grandfather, father, and uncle, so our Xue family has been officials for generations. Speaking of which, Worse than other families. It can be seen that it is well thought out based on the fact that the Holy Majesty has granted two generations of family members. What's more, although my grandfather is an imperial merchant, now the imperial merchant is not limited to our family, and our family's wealth cannot be ranked No. Your Majesty is rich in the world, but you don’t think so much of our family’s money. It’s not that His Majesty, in the name of grandfather, took the opportunity of you and your younger brother to donate the family property, and granted him the title of grandfather.” Xue Ze heard this. , suddenly realized: "The Holy One really treats the heroes very kindly!"

After hearing Xue Ze's words, Anya finally breathed a sigh of relief.Hearing the sound of breathing stopped on the roof, he knew that the spies had left. He immediately got angry and ordered the servants: "You all go down. The master and I are going to rest. It is okay to leave two maids outside to serve as servants. In addition, someone who went to follow the Mother Jiang said, the uncle will not go back today, so he will sleep with me." The maid saluted and went down.

Anya pushed Xue Ze into the bed, and carried Brother Pan to the middle.Putting down the tent by himself, he took out two luminous pearls for lighting.As soon as Anya was done, she pushed Xue Ze: "You are dying, you don't know that there are people from the Holy One in the mansion! How dare you talk nonsense, if the Holy Majesty thinks you have resentment towards the court, will you still be alive?" Xue Ze After hearing what An Ya said, she knew that someone had overheard her when she spoke just now, and she was shocked.Brother Pan watched his mother push his father, who was dangling against the wall, and stepped forward curiously to push his father.In the end, instead of shaking his father, he fell into his arms.Xue Ze hurriedly sat down, placed his son between himself and his wife, and asked, "Did that man leave?" Anya held a bead by herself and handed the other to her son to play with.Anya said: "I didn't wait for him to leave. Dare I tell you?" Xue Ze recalled what his wife had said to him, but he finally came back, and he was grateful to the Holy Majesty.Nudged his wife: "Are you all right?" Anya smiled and said, "You are finally smart."

Xue Ze heaved a sigh of relief and said, "However, to be honest, the Holy Majesty treats our family well!" Anya said: "Let's be grateful! By the way, you can't mess with the Rongguo Mansion." Xue Ze said: " With your sister over there, it is necessary to move around." Hearing this, Anya was afraid that Xue Ze would get involved in the indirect battle for the throne in the future when he entered Jia's mansion.Anya revealed: "Our family has been an official family for generations now. You and your younger brother are both Jinshi with serious imperial examination backgrounds. If you are capable in the future, no one can say how many grades you will be able to achieve. But what is Jia Zheng? The official position that Enyin obtained has a limited lifespan, not to mention that this person may not be capable. After all, he is already an adult and has not yet achieved fame. As for Jia Amnesty, he has not listened to any words that can be literary or martial arts. My aunt was so angry that she heard a lot from the main house. Although Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion was born as a Jinshi, he went to a Taoist temple to practice. His son Jia Zhen is the hereditary third-rank general Wei Lie, who is the head of the clan, and he didn't listen to it. What kind of officials. Now the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are only talking about the merits of their ancestors. In fact, they are not as good as our family. As for the historians, although the four major families are friendly to each other, compared with the Jia family, they are much less distant. As for our Wang family, when my father was there, the Wang family was my natal family; if my father is gone, then I would kiss my brother. If there is no brother of mine, the Wang family would be rich and poor, so what should I do? Although the Holy Majesty has appointed a crown prince, the future is uncertain. This military power is very important, so you are not allowed to mess with it. We only live our peaceful life. The Holy Majesty is here, and we are loyal to the Holy Majesty; The emperor is established, as long as he is a legitimate heir according to his will, we will only serve him loyally. Our family will never be wrong."

Xue Pan listened there in a daze, understood the words clearly, but didn't understand the meaning at all; but Xue Ze couldn't help being moved when he heard it, his wife still valued himself and his son in his heart, and for the sake of himself and his son, he didn't get too close natal family.Thinking that it is not bad to be the head of a government of the third rank, and I will try my best in the future, and I still focus on stability.Anyway, as long as I do my duty, the Holy Majesty will not treat me badly.He put his son between himself and his wife, embraced the two of them, and fell asleep.

The next day, at the end of Si time, my wife still didn't get up. After finishing talking yesterday, it was the end of Xu time when I fell asleep, and I got up at the end of Yin time on weekdays. Today, I can't wake up anyway.Xue Ze hugged Brother Pan and touched his wife's forehead, which was considered hot, but he still didn't dare to call his wife, and ordered his servants to invite the imperial physician who had become an official.

"Your Madam is happy. It may be that she has been tired and tired recently. She will be fine when she wakes up." He took his son Haosheng away to the imperial physician.

When Anya woke up at noon, she was also happy when she heard the good news.

48 You Er Xue Chi Brothers Have a Son

"With this brother, I can count as two sons." Xue Ze stroked Anya's swollen belly.Anya smiled and said, "One child in two years can be regarded as a child." Xue Ze looked at Anya's complacent appearance, and felt amused in his heart. The serious expression makes people look up.Usually, I can't be more lazy. Except for the housekeeper, I just think about the food and clothing of the family all day long, and I am a small housewife.Look at my wife's complacent look that I am very capable.My heart is also not without emotion.After all, although it is good to hold two children for three years, it is not bad to hold two children for four years. When the wife gives birth to the second brother, it is better to stop for a few years and have another child.Although the children are their own blood, it is better to have more children and more blessings.But with two elder brothers, it is better to be able to become a talent than there are many girls but not to be a talent.What's more, when my elder brother grows up, he always wants to get married, and when he becomes a relative.No matter how close I and Anya are to my elder brother, they can't be closer than his wife.After all, it was Anya who could spend the rest of her life with her.You can't lose the big because of the small.It is enough for me to have two elder brothers, it is better for Anya to recuperate and stay with me for the rest of my life.

"After giving birth to this, we won't give birth." After making up his mind, Xue Ze said to Anya.

Anya thought about it for a while, after all, she gave birth to her second elder brother, and now she has two sons. It is not enough to just give birth without raising or teaching, and she also agreed, saying: "The letter from my younger brother said that I have younger siblings too. One month later than mine. By the way, did you give the child a good name?" Xue Ze said, "I'll call him Xue Chi, what do you think?" Anya read: "Xue Chi! Brother Pan! Chi, not bad."

"Greetings to Daddy! Greetings to Mom!" Xue Pan was wearing bright red underwear, swaying his fat body, and walked over like a little chubby bear. "Brother, are you good today? Big brother is good today! Big brother learned ten big characters today! When you come out,

"Our brother Pan is really smart, and he learned ten more characters today." Anya pulled Xue Pan's hand and boasted, "When my younger brother is born, I have to ask Brother Pan to teach him more." Xue Pan said: " What about mother, doesn't mother care about younger brother?" Anya said: "Mom still needs to be housekeeper and accountant. Only when she has time can she look after younger brother. When mother is busy, she has to trouble Brother Pan to take care of younger brother." Although Xue Pan is self-sufficient As long as I can remember, I remember that my mother always took me by my side, even when I went out to be a guest, I also took me with me.How busy are you now?I didn't feel anything wrong.On the contrary, I feel that I was able to follow my mother when I was a child, but now my younger brother can't, and my younger brother is very pitiful.Make up your mind, Dad is going to the Yamen, and Mom is busy.You must take good care of your brother.Because of the sudden presence of a younger brother, the feeling of emptiness in my heart has dissipated a lot.

Anya said: "Mom is busy, so I can't stay with Brother Pan. It's just good to have a younger brother to accompany Brother Pan." Xue Pan was even more happy when she heard that. I just want to give Brother Pan a younger brother to play with.After hearing this, Xue Ze felt that something was wrong, but he didn't figure it out.Among the characters in the Red Chamber, Anya's favorite is Xue Pan. In this life, Xue Pan has become her own son, and Anya is even more happy in her heart. Besides, Xue Pan is the eldest son and will inherit everything she owns in the future, so she loves Xue Pan even more in her heart. coil.Thinking of Xue Pan's disappointment when she was just pregnant, Anya took Xue Pan and sat beside her, leaning in her arms, and discussed: "Huansheng, although I said that I will not have a baby when Brother Chi is born. But in the future there will be more I will definitely have to go up and down. You see, how do we divide the family property and my dowry? Let’s make an idea? After all, although their brothers are all of the same father and mother, they can’t be more close. But when they become a family in the future , just for the sake of their own small family, some careful thinking is inevitable. Why don't we plan it now. When we have children, teach them from an early age, so that there will be no gap between brothers in the future."

Xue Ze heard what Anya said, and said: "Our family has no title, so we just talk about the family property. According to the system, the eldest son will get [-]% of it, both of whom are your children, and Brother Chi will get [-]%. Anya said: "Whoever said that we must have only two sons, and besides, they are all my own children, so there is no reason why I don't care about them. Otherwise, Brother Pan will remain unchanged according to the system. After all, Brother Pan He is the orthodox eldest son of the Xue family. In the future, the Xue family will depend on brother Pan. If there is another child in the future, both men and women will share [-]% of the birth. The brother will use it as his home, and the sister will use it as a dowry. I The same is true for the dowry.”

After hearing this, Xue Ze said, "Isn't it too much for my sister?" After all, no matter how much my sister is my own flesh and blood, she will marry into another family. Isn't this a free gift to others?Anya knew what Xue Ze meant. When she was not married, no matter how much she loved her sister, there were very few people who loved her.

Taking the amount of the family property as a dowry, not to mention the financial management ability of the husband and wife, when Brother Pan grows up, the Xue family will inevitably have millions of dollars in wealth.When a sister gets married, if she is a descendant and favored, she will only have a dowry of one hundred thousand plus private money.How can you marry hundreds of thousands.But in the future, if a sister is born, after all, Xue Baochai in the Red Mansion was also born by herself, and she is also her own flesh and blood, not to mention that in this society, it is much more difficult for women to survive than men.But you can't say that, after all, the sisters from other families also came here, and they can still live well.Anya said: "If I can give birth to a sister, I will have two brats by then. If it is not possible, I will favor my sister more. What's more, there is no shadow of what will happen in the future. Who knows, will we have a sister? Well." Hearing this, Xue Ze didn't object.After all, I was an elder brother with two children, even if I wanted to have a younger sister, it would not be easy, so I agreed.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xue! Mrs. Xue has given birth to a big fat boy!" The midwife congratulated with the package.Because he knew in advance that he was a brother, when he finally heard the return, Xue Ze thought that it was true, and hugged the child.Xue Pan looked at his father holding his younger brother to watch, but he didn't let himself look, remembering to pull Xue Ze's clothes, "Daddy! Daddy! Brother Pan wants to see my younger brother too!" Xue Ze said with a smile: "Okay, you too Look at my brother." As he spoke, he bent over and handed brother Chi to Xue Pan. "Brother, why don't you look at me?" Xue Pan looked at his brother who was sleeping with his eyes closed. "It will take two days until your brother sleeps enough to open his eyes." Xue Ze replied thinking about Xue Pan's childhood. "Oh, Pan'er got it." Xue Pan replied disappointedly.

"What did elder brother say in your letter?" Chen Jingyi asked. "Eldest sister-in-law gave birth to elder brother again. Brother Chi is one month older than brother Fei." Xue Zhi replied holding his son.

49 ending one

It's ten years in a flash.Although Wang Anya didn't look old, her eldest son, Xue Pan, had already become the No. [-] in the martial arts list and was engaged to be married.Even Xue Chi, the second child who was born later, has already won the Juren.Now, under the orders of the Holy One, I am returning to Beijing to report on my duties.

"Ma'am!" The former Tonggui is now a nanny, still following Anya. "What's wrong?" Although Anya had some confidence in her heart, she still had extravagant hopes. "Miss Zhai already has it. It belongs to the master." After hearing this, Anya put down the clothes and sat on the edge of the bed beside her, feeling cold all over her body and freezing in her head.Muttering: "It's the master! Maybe some master didn't dare to bring it into the mansion and entrusted our master to take care of it. How could it be our master!" Seeing his wife's absent-minded appearance, the nanny felt sore in her heart , I and Tongxi also knew the promise the master made when he asked for marriage.Seeing that the master and his wife have been loving each other for more than ten years, even when the wife was pregnant, the master has never had anyone. Now, when the uncle is about to get married, there will be an extra brother or sister who is a concubine.How can the wife accept it?But in the end, I have to make it clear to my wife, lest I think my wife is not good when I was born outside. "Three months ago, the master and Mr. Qin went to Tianxiang Tower. That night, the master didn't come back, and Miss Zhai served that night. Now she is pregnant for three months, and she happened to be conceived that night. Miss Zhai happened to be Clean up."

"If life is just as it was when we first saw each other! But the old man's heart is changeable!" Anya said, "Is that child really belonged to the master?" The nanny said: "Since the night of serving, the master asked Jin Shuan the next morning I rented a yard on the street next to the mansion, redeemed Miss Zhai, and let Miss Zhai live in it."

Anya listened and didn't ask any more questions.When Xue Ze came back, pretending to be tired of handling the marriage for his son, he drove Xue Ze to the study to rest.Xue Ze said with a smile: "Then I have to go to the study, I'll wait for you for a while, you're almost done." Anya still had a hope, "Master, you really kept your promise and treated me like a day for more than ten years. Never took a concubine, never set up a house, never went to a brothel, never kept a foreign house!" The last few words are even more gritted.Xue Ze was stunned when he heard this, but he still accepted his wife's compliment and did not speak.

Anya and Xue Ze were lying on the bed, and Xue Ze wanted to sleep with his wife in his arms like before.Anya endured the nausea and turned to face the wall pretending to be asleep.

"This is my mother's private property. Now I will keep [-]% for my expenses, and the rest will be distributed to your brothers at a rate of seventy-three." Wang Anya put the boxes of the key ledger in front of the two brothers. "Mom, isn't this the last thing to do?" Xue Pan and Xue Jia knew that their parents had made a seven-thirds decision.I originally thought of dividing it at the end, but who would have thought of dividing it now.

"Brother Pan, they are all my children, and you still have to get [-]/[-] points, just to maintain your eldest son status, you also have to behave like an eldest son, manage the Xue family, be loyal to the king, and love brothers." Anya said.Although Xue Pan sounded like last words, but seeing his mother looking good, the doctor he usually hired didn't say anything, so he could only let go of the doubts in his heart.But still should.

On September [-]th, early in the morning, Xue Pan and his new wife, Mrs. Wu, came to Ming En Yuan to pay their respects. "Mother Nian, is your wife up?" Xue Pan asked. "Master, this is a letter from my wife." Said the former Nian and now the Nian.

Xue Pan snatched the letter and said, "My son, Xue Pan saw the letter as if he had met: my mother has always been fond of cleanliness and jealousy. Up to now, I am ashamed of not being virtuous and accepting a concubine for your father. Now the daughter of the Zhai family, Gentle and sweet, I have accepted your father as a concubine, I hope you can help tell your father. As for family affairs, your wife Wu is very virtuous and capable, my son can entrust the affairs of the backyard to Wu, and let your brother Brother Chi's marriage, as long as he comes from a good family and is a decent person, it's up to your brother's wishes.

Now that my son has married and established a business, brother Chi is also well-known, and your father has a bright future, mother has nothing to worry about anymore.Only Shanshui, who has been a mother for many years in the house, has never been close.Now you, father and son, are taken care of by someone, for the sake of mother's selfish wish, close to mountains and rivers, I hope my son will understand.

"Mother Wang stayed"

Mrs. Wu has all kinds of talents, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to leave early in the morning without waiting for him to say hello. Looking at her husband's face, she felt uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ze looked at his son's black face early in the morning, what happened.She took the paper from her son, and after reading it, she looked at Nian Momo: "Where is the wife?" Nian Momo looked at the angry face of the master and felt resentful in her heart. One person is out.But in the end, he never showed any resentment, he just said: "The madam only left this letter for the uncle. It's just that the madam said that she left with a letter to release his wife."

Xue Ze panicked even more when he heard this, "Then, Mrs. Zhai, who told the wife?" After hearing this, Xue Pan remained silent.Wu Shi was even more silent.Mother Nian said: "No one told Madam, it was Madam who was on her way to the Qin Mansion as a guest, and saw Housekeeper Jin greeting Aunt Di, she was puzzled, and sent someone to inquire, only to find out that Aunt Di was about to get married. The wife just took Aunt Di to the mansion so she can settle down, and she plans to arrange for Aunt Di to serve tea after the uncle gets married."

It turned out to be an outhouse, no wonder I had never heard of it before.Mrs. Wu took a look at Mrs. Zhai. Her six-month-old belly still did not detract from her original demeanor. No wonder she was able to steal food from her mother-in-law, who had been doting on her for more than ten years.Ever since Aunt Zhai knew that her child was a sister, she settled down in peace. She never thought that the wife would be so jealous that she would leave without even seeing her daughter-in-law.Now I just hope that the uncle will not take his anger on himself.

Xue Pan led Mrs. Wu to salute his father and his younger brother Xue Chi. After glancing at Aunt Zhai, he took his wife Mrs. Wu back to his courtyard. Xue Chi quickly stood up and bowed to his father. So he caught up with his brother Xue Pan.

Mrs. Zhai just bent down to salute, and took the teacup and flew over Zhai's head, and landed on the ground behind Zhai, with a slap, "My concubine never disobeyed the master's orders, but at that time my concubine was in the courtyard. I've been here for almost three months, and I'm still fit, and I'm bored, so I asked the maid to accompany me to relax at the door, never thought that my wife would see me just in time for Butler Jin to deliver things." Xue Ze listened. , although he knew that there were so many coincidences in it, but in the end he was wrong and just waved his hand to let Zhai go down.

Anya left Xue's mansion and went to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. "Ma'am, shall we stop here?" the noble mother asked.Anya opened the curtain, looked at the busy market, and ordered: "Send someone to find Ren Yazi to inquire about the situation here, and then ask if there is a cleaner place nearby. Let's find a place first. Stay at the inn."

As soon as the group settled down at the inn, the servant brought someone over and saluted, "Greetings to Madam! Good luck, Madam! This is the most famous Meng Renyazi in Yuanfu Town." I only thought that she was the steward of a rich family, but I never thought that she was just a servant. I guessed that this lady must be the head wife of a big family. Thinking of this, the man saluted with a smile on his face: "Little Meng Renya Greetings, madam! Good luck, madam!" Anya said: "You don't need to be too polite, I just want to ask about the situation in Yuanfu Town. There is a house for sale in a quiet place, and this house should be bigger and can accommodate a hundred people. People around you." After hearing this, Meng Renyazi said enthusiastically: "Our Yuanfu Town is incomparably more prosperous than a big place, but it is also a place where our Daqing is famous. The big stores in the provincial capital have branches here , plus the unique local specialty stores in Yuanfu Town. It is absolutely convenient for you to shop. Coupled with the special attractions in Yuanfu Town, you will definitely be satisfied living here. Let me tell you, not only you, but also many big places nearby Anyone who is an official or a businessman is willing to come to Yuanfu Town when they are old." He praised Yuanfu Town, and said: "I have a garden in my hand, which is divided into outer house and inner house. Outer house It can be used for meeting guests, weddings, and ancestor worship ceremonies. The inner house has two five-floor and five-bottom horse-racing buildings in the north and south. It can be separated and combined, and the layout is compact. This was built by an old man, but now he plans to go back to his hometown for the elderly, so he wants to sell this garden."

Pass it to Meng Renyazi.Meng Renyazi was overjoyed when he heard this.I thought I was a big family, but I didn't think about such a big deal, so I bought a big garden without blinking or counter-offering.When the old man said that, they dared not take over. They took the risk this time and earned 1000 taels. Even if they stopped doing it now, it would be enough for their own retirement. The boy went to the yamen to change the lease.

"Ma'am, this garden is so beautiful!" Madam Gui looked at the garden. It has only been built for more than ten years now, and Madam's repairs make it look like a new one.Anya said: "Yes! It's very beautiful! I can spend the rest of my life in such a beautiful garden, and it's not in vain." "Ma'am!" After hearing this, the noble mother persuaded: "Ma'am, how can I If you say such dejected words, no matter how beautiful the garden is, it can't match the two masters!" After hearing this, Anya regained some energy, since she met Mrs. Zhai, she just felt that she might as well die immediately, so she insisted on giving it to her. Brother Pan married a daughter-in-law, so he couldn't bear it any longer.I just want to leave far away, to a place where no one knows me, and hide myself.die slowly.

"In this world, where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. The master has never taken a concubine for more than ten years, and now he suddenly has the Zhai family. It can be seen that the Zhai family has a means. If the wife does not care about the uncle and the second master, the two masters are not sure what to do. Suffering." The noble mother said, the noble mother was Anya's dowry, and she also watched the two little masters grow up, except
