The maid of the red house

Hearing that Mr. Zhao made the decision to divide Mrs. Zhao's affairs, Julien fell down, but Xueyan was very surprised, and asked the woman who came to deliver the letter, "Should you tell me and elder brother to go together, or just ask elder brother to go alone?" ?”

She is the granddaughter-in-law, and it stands to reason that she cannot be present when the family is separated.

The visitor's face flushed, and he hurriedly said: "The old man invited Manager Yu to come over, not Grandma."

Xueyan also understood that no matter what, she is a female family member, so she can't show up, so she waved her hand and said: "You take a step first, Manager Yu will arrive later."

The mother-in-law promised to go.

Yu Liansheng looked sideways at Xueyan, but heard Xueyan grunt, saying: "This is strange, I only know that the old lady's ladder has already been left to the third room, and I thought that my aunt and daughter-in-law Feng were not greedy enough , I won the old lady’s wife and came to ask me for the funeral expenses, but I didn’t expect that it had been put on hold for almost a year, and the old man still wanted to share it with us.”

Obviously she also has unexpected times, but it's clear when you think about it.Zhao Yun's status is different now, but he is the highest status member of the Zhao family. Mr. Zhao has been eccentric for many years. Seeing that their first wife is already above the third one, he naturally changed his mind.

Xueyan guessed that Zhao Qi's family was expelled from the clan because of their own family, and those who were later imprisoned and forced labor, even though they knew that they had done their own crimes and could not live, but as the mother, Mrs. Zhao may not not hate Zhao Yun, presumably The ladder will not be distributed to my family, I am afraid that it is the old man who is the master. The old lady Zhao has just been buried in the earth, and she has already planned to invite Julien to come over.

Yu Liansheng didn't look up, but looked down at Zhao Qi, and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, do you still remember me?"

Zhao Qi compared his fingers, shook his head and said: "Mom said that I was not yet one year old when we left Beijing, but I was very close to my uncle when I was young. These years, my mother often mentioned my uncle. He gave me a lot of things every year. Mom was jealous, and only said uncle She loves us, and my mother is leaning back, so although I don't know my uncle, I feel very close to him. Sister, don't you think so?"

Hao'er was holding the gift from Julien Sheng in her hand, a pair of white rabbits carved from suet and white jade. She liked it very much. After listening to Zhao Qi's words, she nodded with a smile and said, "If uncle will give me another pair of rabbits?" Little Tiger, I like uncle even more."

Julien was stunned, then burst out laughing, bent over to hug her, and said with a smile, "How do you like these things?"

Seeing Hao'er nodding vigorously, Yu Liansheng fell in love with him even more, and said, "Okay, Uncle has a set of zodiac signs carved in emeralds, each about an inch, small and exquisite, lifelike, and Uncle Ming'er will send them to you."

Hao'er smiled and said, "Uncle keeps what he says, don't go back on your word!"

Xueyan listened at the side, angry and amused at the same time, and said angrily, "Hao'er, what are you doing? You actually asked uncle for something." Hao'er was born spoiled and spoiled. Even though he is young, he has to pay attention to teaching him in the future, even in front of Juliensheng, but if he is in front of outsiders, he just doesn't understand etiquette.

But Yu Liansheng protected Haoer and said: "The little girl's family is so cute. Could it be that she is as sensible as an adult at a young age? She is too old, and I don't like it. Since your old man Please, I will go there first with the children, and after we finish taking care of things, we will come back and talk about ourselves."

Xueyan smiled when she heard the words, stretched out her hand and tapped Haoer's forehead, and said: "You are really blessed, everyone from top to bottom is facing you, and when you grow up tomorrow, you have to respect uncle well."

Hao'er put her arms around Juliensheng's neck and said yes loudly.

Yu Liansheng held Hao'er in his arms, and took Zhao Qi with him. The group arrived at the Zhao family's old house. Mr. Zhao, Zhao Yun, Zhao Li, and Zhao Feng were all in the hall. Not there, Niu Shi and Mi Shi have already gone to the ancestral hall, but Han Qingshan, Mr. Zhao Er and others were invited to testify, which shows the solemnity.

Seeing Yu Liansheng coming in with Hao'er in his arms, Mr. Zhao and the others stood up one after another.

Seeing Haoer, she hurriedly came down from Yu Liansheng's arms, and after they saw Yu Liansheng, she followed Zhao Qi to salute. Can't fault it at all.

Han Qingshan was very pleased to see Zhao Yun's sons and daughters were smart and polite, and his daughter could feel at ease under the nine springs.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Zhao said straight to the point: "Now that the funeral is over, the old lady left some of her own things before she was alive. I kept them as useless, so I decided to distribute them to Li'er and Yun'er. According to the rules, what should be given to my sons , but Yun'er's father is gone, so I gave it to Yun'er, and please be the manager, old in-laws, and second brother to be witnesses."

Zhao Li was an honest man, and after hearing this, he bowed his head and remained silent.

However, Zhao Feng was slightly dissatisfied. The old lady cared about Zhao Qi's family in her heart. They are all locked up in their own room, and now they have to be distributed to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's family is rich, so how can there be a few ladders left by the old lady?Zhao Feng couldn't help feeling flustered. The old man thought of Zhao Yun, which was not good for him. They lived with the old man in the ancestral house, but the ancestral house was not for them. Seeing what the old man meant, he probably wanted to leave the ancestral house when he died. To Zhao Yun.Although according to the rules, the ancestral house should indeed belong to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun was unwilling to share the property and give him the good things.

Han Qingshan didn't move, but Mr. Zhao Er nodded and said: "It should be so. Even though Yun'er is separated, he is still the grandson of his elder brother and his elder sister-in-law. Now that he is so promising, he can't be too partial." The old lady's things are nothing to Zhao Yun's family, they are always a little thought.

Hearing the word eccentric, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but his face became hot, coughed lightly, and said: "Li'er is a son, Yun'er is a grandson, I am not partial, the old lady's ladder has been divided into two, One per family."

As he said that, Mr. Zhao ordered people to bring the things up.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao have been married for 70 years. Before the separation, Mr. Zhao holds all the income, but Mrs. Zhao keeps the rest of the daily expenses of human relations every year. A lot of money, but the remaining half has not been moved, otherwise 7000% of the family property would not have been neatly distributed to Zhao Yun at the beginning. The division of the family was only the house and land and a small amount of silver taels, a total of [-] taels. Most of the money is actually in the hands of the old man and the old lady.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao originally planned to leave their private houses to Zhao Feng, but they did not expect Zhao Yun to be promoted step by step to become an official. As a result, Mr. Zhao changed his mind immediately. No matter what, the family business must be given to the most promising family. children and grandchildren.

Mr. Zhao pointed to things and said: "These two boxes are jewelry left by the old lady. Li'er's house is for Li's daughter-in-law and Feng's daughter-in-law, and Yun'er's house is for Yun'er's daughter-in-law and Haoer. The points are settled, and no one is more than one point. Here is the list, you all have a look. The silver coins you usually save total 860 three taels, the copper coins are fifteen hangs, and there are more than 30 taels of gold. I will distribute it to you according to the number." The rest of the furniture will not be moved, the old man still has to live in the ancestral house, and the rest of the odds and ends are quickly distributed, including needles and threads, as well as furnishings, and the distribution is really very fair.

Zhao Yun had already expected what Mr. Zhao was thinking, and said respectfully: "Just as my grandfather said, my grandson has no objection."

After hearing his words, old man Zhao showed a smile on his face, and then looked at Zhao Li and his son, Zhao Li and Zhao Feng shuddered immediately, and hurriedly said in unison: "We have no objection, we will do as the old man said. "Their hearts were bleeding, these things originally belonged to them, and now half of Zhao Yunsheng's life was lost.

Han Qingshan also went through the list carefully, and there were thirty or forty pieces of gold bead hairpin rings distributed to Zhao Yun's family alone, and he couldn't help showing satisfaction on his face. Originally, he only said that the ladders of Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were not good enough. It will be distributed to Zhao Yun. After all, he led someone to close the door when the family was separated.Now that Zhao Yun is promising, even if he doesn't want it, Mr. Zhao will give it to him with both hands. half.

This separation, apart from Zhao Li, who was depressed and unhappy, others felt that it was reasonable. Although Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were partial to the third family, but because they hoped that Zhao Feng would have a future, Zhao Feng is still a scholar. Without the slightest benefit, Zhao Yun is a high-ranking official, and his status is simply divided between clouds and mud, which should be regarded as a bowl of water.

In Bajing Town, there are those gossiping old women and village women and their relatives. They all gathered together and said that Mr. Zhao should have acted like this, and that Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Mi were greedy and fell into a stumble. was sent to the shrine.

Chang said with a smile: "The old man should have acted like this a long time ago, how could he be partial to the third house and neglect Yun'er like before?"

Someone hastily laughed and said: "No, don't look at the Zhao family's eldest uncle is gone, the second room has been evicted, and only the third room is left. Brother Feng can read, and the third room is also good at it. It's just a pity. , After reading books for so many years, Brother Feng still failed to pass the examination, who would have thought that Brother Yun would become an official first?"

Another person who had a long-standing quarrel with Niu said, "Since Big Brother Yun became an official, Sanfang has not been as proud as usual. Think about those years, Brother Yun has lost his future, Sanfang is so powerful, everyone says that Brother Feng will be in the future." He will definitely be named an official on the gold list and be the emperor of Guangzong Yaozu. I wish everyone knew that Brother Feng was the flesh in the heart of the old man and the old lady, and they all regarded the relationship between the old man and the old lady as their own. Do you feel sorry for the things that have been shared?"

Mrs. Chang listened with a smile, and said: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the third house are also bewildered, and they entered the ancestral hall. According to me, our old Zhao family will depend on Yun'er in the future, and no one else can compare to him. Seeing Qi Geer's clever appearance, he looks like a young Yun'er, and his family is different from ordinary people. It is a breeze to be named on the gold list. Therefore, we all have to be careful, don't ask Sanfang to give Yuner The family is troubled, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, if there is no cloud to protect us, what good can we get?"

Everyone nodded, and they all said they wanted to watch Sanfang. They were only interested in gossiping, but they didn't see a carriage parked by the side of the road. Sitting in the carriage was Zhao Rong, the daughter of Zhao Liniu who married into Jiang's family. , listened to their words, his face turned pale with anger, secretly worried about his mother, lest she would suffer in the ancestral hall.

Jiao Hong, the eldest girl beside her, quickly persuaded: "Second Mistress, the old lady's funeral is over, we should go back."

The Zhao family is separated, and a married daughter of hers shouldn't come and point fingers. Jiaohong knows that Zhao Rong has been spoiled by the Niu family since she was a child. With no future, Zhao Feng didn't know what the future would be like, and he didn't become a daughter of an official family from a young lady who worked in farming. In order to support Zhao Feng's education, he had to marry the young master of the Jiang family. At first, he was gentle and docile. In recent years, relying on the nobleness of scholars, many scholars have come out of their own family, and a high-ranking official like Zhao Yun has come out, and they have gradually lost their sense of propriety, and they are very arrogant in Jiang's family.

Jiang Miao is Zhao Yun's student. The day after Zhao Yun returned home, he came to greet An and kowtow. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang He's wife wanted to be as close as a family to Zhao Yun's family, because Zhao Rong was Zhao Yun's cousin. Ma'am, the eldest daughter-in-law is Jiang He's wife, and she can't be the master at home, so she lets her do things, and makes her more indulgent.

In fact, everyone knows that Zhao Rong has nothing to do with Zhao Yun and his wife, but it is because Zhao Yun is more promising than Zhao Feng. Now Niu and Mi almost ruined Zhao Yun's future and offended Zhao Yun and his wife. Home is based.

Thinking of the methods of his wife and grandma, Jiao Hong hurriedly winked at Miao's mother. Because Miao's mother was Zhao Rong's dowry girl, she later married the Jiang family's steward. Hearing her words, he hurriedly said: "Exactly, my wife and grandma have gone back first, we can't delay any longer, and pay attention to other people's gossip about grandma. Mr. Zhao is already a fourth-rank official. As they said, everyone in the family Relying on adults, what good is grandma getting annoyed?"

Zhao Rong blushed, and there was a chill in his eyes, which disappeared immediately.Of course she understands that Zhao Yun has such a bright future, which is of great benefit to her. No one is disrespectful when she goes out these years, but since she was a child, she always thought that her elder brother would be able to go to high school, and by then she would be the official's own sister, more than Zhao Yun's cousin. More justifiable.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun has already been disfigured, and she can still be such an official, overwhelming her parents, brother and sister-in-law. No matter how sensible she is, she will inevitably feel a little resentment. Her mother and sister-in-law just want to make more money , was threatened by them to go back to her mother's house, and now she has to kneel in the ancestral hall again.

Who doesn't know that Zhao Yun's family is wealthy, and his grandfather actually gave them the things his grandmother said he would leave to his brother. Could it be that they abandoned his brother just because they are now officials?If you divide your grandmother's family today, and your grandfather's family tomorrow, will you also leave the ancestral house where your parents, brother and sister-in-law live, and drive your parents, brother and sister-in-law out?

Zhao Rong suddenly opened the curtain and walked down, Jiao Hong and Miao's mother didn't hold her back, so they had to follow.

Mrs. Chang was talking, and she was getting old and her eyes were not good, she still said: "Yun'er and Yun'er's wife have to live at home for two or three years, we have to be respectful, and don't cause any trouble. It hurt each other's friendship."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Mother Dou caught a glimpse of Zhao Rong, and couldn't help being startled.

Others saw it and followed her to look at it, but they didn't show any fear. Although the Jiang family was rich, they didn't dare to offend their Zhao family easily, and now they have to rely on Zhao Yun.If Zhao Rong is smarter, then don't offend Zhao Yun and his wife, instead, they should see each other frequently. After all, Niu Shi and Mi Shi deserve their crimes, and it is not Zhao Yun and his wife's fault.

Chang said with a smile: "Why is Rong'er here? After the funeral, your mother-in-law has already gone back."

Chang's is an elder and a long-standing old man, she doesn't have to be scruples in what she says and does, and she and Xueyan have always been very friendly, no one dared to say anything in front of her, Zhao Rong naturally didn't dare to be rude, after hearing this He said with a forced smile: "I'll go to the ancestral hall to see my mother. My mother is in her fifties. It's cold in late autumn. I don't know how much I will suffer."

Mrs. Chang smiled, and said: "The ancestral hall is full of ancestors of our old Zhao family. What can we suffer? Your mother's temper should also be tempered. At such an old age, the grandson is already in his tenth year. I don't know how to think of a way to torment my family. You don't want to go, where can you go to the ancestral hall? Go home first, and you will go to see your mother when she comes out in a few days."

Zhao Rong was furious immediately, but she was not a young girl who was ignorant after all, so she could only bear it back.Her brother is a star of Wenqu, and one day he will be named on the gold list. At that time, let's see what kind of faces these people have.

Zhao Rong pursed his lips, took Mother Miao and Jiao Hong into the car and left.

Chang and the others didn't care, but they didn't know that Zhao Rong didn't go home directly, but went to the Zhao family ancestral hall, talked to Niu through the ancestral hall, and then went back unhappy.

It took less than two hours for Niu and Mi to kneel in the ancestral hall and Zhao Rong went to visit. The news could not be concealed from others, but it spread to Xueyan after a meal. Yu Liansheng had just returned from Zhao's old house and was hugging Hao Er Playing, talking about some interesting things in the palace, after hearing this, he asked: "Is it my sister-in-law's cousin? Are you close to you? People in the world are unpredictable, and Niu's mother-in-law and Mi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also because of your relationship." So punish me by kneeling in the ancestral hall, don't let the Zhao family cause trouble for you too."

Xueyan is packing the bedding for Zhao Yun and sending it to the old lady Zhao's tomb. Zhao Yun will live in a hut from now on. Yes, the stove is also ready, and three meals a day are sent to him when the time comes. Even the porridge and side dishes can be changed to make him feel more comfortable. I haven't met a few times, so I don't have any relationship, I am not someone to bully, Mrs. Jiang is also a sensible person, with Mrs. Jiang on top, this aunt can't make trouble."

What's more, she had already been on guard against Zhao Rong, and she had already sent someone to pay attention, otherwise the news would have arrived before Zhao Rong returned home.

Yu Liansheng shook his head and said, "These girls are in the same line. According to me, you can deal with them as you like. Don't be soft-hearted and let them push themselves even further."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Which family doesn't have one or two bad relatives, don't worry, brother."

Yu Liansheng took off the string of pearls on his wrist to amuse Hao'er, sighed, and said, "There is some truth to what I said. My parents, elder brother and nephew have also come to my house now."

Xueyan hurriedly asked: "Have you all come here? I haven't heard my brother talk about the family affairs. How do you arrange it now?"

Yu Liansheng sneered, and said to Zhao Qi first, "Brother Qi, take my sister out to play."

Zhao Qi understood, they didn't want to listen to what they said next, so he hurriedly took Hao'er's hand and went out.

Seeing them go away, Yu Liansheng said, "Although the family is poor, it's not that they couldn't eat a bite of food that day. They just envied the wealth and honor in the palace, so they sent me to purify themselves. From then on, people are neither ghosts nor ghosts. I When I was not in the palace as an errand, I was young at that time, crying and begging to go home, but if they had a little compassion, I would not have to wander the streets and almost starved to death. They sent me to Beijing, but after cleaning up I also thought that I had lost the face of my ancestors and refused to ask me to go home. If I hadn’t met my sister, how would I be where I am today? Over the years, I have never wanted to mention them, and I have never regarded them as relatives. Came to the door."

Except for these male and female eunuchs, no one knows the pain of purging. At that time, he was still young, fainted several times, and was half dead. A cavity of resentment was finally overcome, but even so, due to the sake of purification, he often lost control of his urination, and it was hard to talk about it, and he didn't even dare to drink more tea.

Xueyan was very distressed, and persuaded: "It's been so many years, brother, don't worry about it, we live a good life, if brother really doesn't want to pay attention to them, brother will just send them back to their hometown. The world pays attention to filial piety, but I But knowing my brother's mind, he would not stick to it, and we brothers and sisters don't have to learn from the world."

Yu Liansheng nodded slightly, and sighed: "I can't wait to drive them away immediately, but the master rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, I can't lose the dignity of the master, but I have already made up my mind."

Xueyan hurriedly asked what the idea was.

Yu Liansheng said coldly: "They are thinking about food and clothing, wealth and honor, and I will give them all. Anyway, I don't lack the money. I have already asked someone to buy a big house, and the servants are all my confidantes." , the house is being tidied up now, and I will let them live in it when I go back. From then on, I will give them silk and satin, and give them delicacies from mountains and seas, but I will not allow them to step out of the courtyard, lest they rely on my power to run amok in the countryside, and also lest the court The middle officials curry favor with them in order to curry favor with me, which brought me disaster."

After hearing these words, Xueyan felt that the methods were a bit domineering, but she agreed very much. She knew that Yu Liansheng must be clear about his family's disposition. Now Yu Liansheng is the most proud person around Emperor Changgan. If not, the members of Yu's family would be the same as Dai Quan's family, just as Yu Liansheng said about running wild in the countryside and making friends with officials.Since Julien's actions won't bring him the reputation of being unfilial and indifferent, it also avoids many future troubles. It really is the best of both worlds.

After thinking about it, Xueyan said: "My brother makes up his own mind, I will listen to what my brother does."

Yu Liansheng said with a smile: "I knew that my sister must agree with me. I knew my heart. We have all come from nothing to this point. We have come all the way, not just at every step. We must not ruin our future because of them." If he was kind-hearted and soft-hearted, he wouldn't be where he is today, and he didn't want his family to disturb him, so he had to avoid future troubles.

Xueyan nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "No matter what others say about my brother, in my heart, my brother is very good."

The two siblings were talking lively, when Xiangtao came in and said, "Grandma, uncle, the dinner is already set."

Xueyan heard this, and hurriedly said to Yu Liansheng: "Let's eat first. During the day, we eat big fish and meat, and we are so tired after all. At night, we should eat lightly, and our spleen and stomach will be lighter."

Then, he asked someone to deliver dinner to Zhao Yun, which was just porridge, steamed buns and side dishes, and told the boy: "When the bedding is sent there, the stove and some utensils are also sent there. Warm it up on the stove before asking the uncle to eat, it’s autumn now, so be careful in everything.”

The boy agreed and went to cook by himself.

Yu Liansheng said with a smile: "Is it true that my sister-in-law lives in front of the tomb? Although Ding You is poor, how many people are so filial?"

Xueyan said: "Others are others, we are us."

Yu Liansheng smiled, but he understood Zhao Yun's temper. Although he was a great-grandson, he had very little relationship with Mrs. Zhao. If it wasn't for the future, he would have followed other people's filial piety at home. It is of great benefit to Zhao Qi's future.

He stayed at Xueyan's house for one day and was leaving the next day.

The presents for Yu Liansheng were packed long before the funeral when they came back, and they were sent to other places in the capital. Xueyan hurriedly asked someone to drive a cart, and then handed over the list to Yu Liansheng, saying: " In addition to things for elder brother, there are also gifts for Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Princess Ning'an's mansion, Zhou family, Sang family and other places, our family has filial piety, so it is not easy to visit and give gifts, so please ask brother to do it for you."

Zhao Qi's talent for reading is extremely high, second only to Zhou Xuan. Since he wants to be promoted in the imperial examination, these people can't neglect it.In addition, Xueyan also brought Hu Yong's letter to Hu's house, and there was also a gift for Zhang Hui. go.

Yu Liansheng took the list and looked at it for a while, and said, "I still have the chime clock for me? You can keep such things."

Xueyan smiled and said: "These are the most indispensable things along the West Sea. Although the chime bell is expensive, it was brought over by Westerners. I exchanged a few bolts of silk and a few boxes of tea for nothing. I will give it to my brother. I prepared all the things that Westerners from the West Sea often bring, and on the boat, I used their materials to make some clothes for my brother, so that he can wear them."

After hearing this, Yu Liansheng nodded and said, "That's reasonable. It just so happens that the chime clock in front of the old master was accidentally broken by the old master, and the birds stopped chirping. It hasn't been repaired yet. I'll take this to honor the master. "

Xueyan smiled and said: "Since I gave it to my brother, I will let my brother make the decision."

Yu Liansheng laughed, put the list in his sleeve, and said suddenly: "Except for the first two years, Xue's family brought you the harvest and rent of your family, and the rest is with me. Right now, your family has a lot of things to do. Send it back in a few days."

After speaking, he sat in the sedan chair and left.

After he left, Xueyan packed up the things that were distributed in the Zhao family's old house yesterday, and she was secretly dumbfounded when she counted. Feeling disheartened, he must have known what was hidden in it, so after thinking about it, he put it together with Zhao Yun's mother's dowry.The Han family is the daughter of Han Qingshan, her natal family is rich, and the dowry is also very rich. She left a lot of things for Zhao Yun, but she has used it for many years, but the jewelry has not been touched, and she still keeps it.

Mother Li sighed: "Thanks to the fact that the uncle became an official, otherwise we would not have anything but the ancestral house."

Xueyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The old man has repented now, and the division is fair, we will accept it, why bother to say these things, it is not good for people to listen to."

After listening to Li's mother, she hurriedly shut up.

Xueyan turned her head and told Xiangtao, "Take out the plain winter clothes you collected in previous years to dry in the sun, and take out the leather to dry. I have lived in the West Sea for several years, but I haven't worn them again. Although I gave birth to a baby They have a son and a daughter, but their stature hasn't changed much, and they can wear old clothes, so they don't need to make them again. The winter clothes they made for Qi'er and Hao'er on the boat are also taken out to dry in the sun, which is better than incense."

Xiangtao smiled and said, "What year is it that we don't take out our clothes to dry? They are all stored in a camphor wood box. I'm planning to wait for the old lady's funeral to be done. It will be winter in a month or two."

Xueyan couldn't help but said: "It's packed, come to me to get a few pieces of material, and make two sets of winter clothes for the upper and lower."

Xiangtao agreed with a smile, and was very grateful.

But he said that Yu Liansheng returned to his home. Although he is more and more powerful now, but because he is alone, he still lives in the house that Nanhua left for Xueyan. Eat and drink.

Seeing Yu Liansheng coming back, the group of people hurriedly stood up, wiped their mouths, and Brother Yu flattered him, "Brother, are you back?"

Yu Liansheng flung off his sleeves coldly and said, "Don't touch me!"

Brother Yu quickly withdrew his hand, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Brother, you are my real brother. If we brothers don't kiss each other well, what are we doing with such a good relationship?"

Yu's father sat on the top of his hand with a big horse, stroked his gray beard, and stared at Lian Sheng: "Exactly, don't you think your parents and brothers are relatives now that you have power? There is no reason to go out and say it."

A trace of sarcasm flickered across the corner of Yu Liansheng's mouth, and he sneered, "I don't know what I should do to satisfy my parents and brothers?"

Father Yu cleared his throat and said, "Your eldest brother, second brother and your fourth brother have several sons in their family, all of them are smart and bright. The oldest one is already 20 years old, and it's time to marry a wife and have children. You choose your eldest nephew." It’s a good marriage, I heard that there are many rich and noble families vying to betroth their daughters to you, if you don’t want it, give it to your nephew.”

Hearing Yu's father's words, the group of people nodded one after another, and their eyes showed great joy. If Brother Yu's eldest son married well, their future prospects would not be bad. I didn't expect Julien, who was sent to cleanse by their family 20 years ago, Yu Liansheng turned out to be a confidant next to the old man of the emperor. If there were no officials who gave gifts to their home, they would not know that Yu Liansheng was already a glorious ancestor.

Brother Yu said: "Exactly, brother, you are my real brother, and our family depends on you. Your eldest nephew has grown up to this day, and his character and appearance are very good. After eating and drinking at brother's house for a few days, he has become more and more supportive." You have a handsome face, a good-looking talent, and you have the power of your brother, but you are afraid that you will not be able to marry a lady from an official family? At least think about your nephew. I heard that Eunuch Dai not only married more than a dozen wives and concubines, but also had step-sons and step-daughters. A good marriage, a good marriage."

Juliensheng made up his mind to lock them in the mansion, so that they would not have to cause trouble from now on.

Yu's father and the others didn't know what he was thinking, so they said to themselves: "Liansheng, you are 28 years old this year, and you have not given birth yet, why don't you marry a wife, and then choose one of your nephews who suits your wishes, and adopt him?" In your name, from now on, you have a wife and son, and you can be regarded as a living."

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, especially the nephews, who all hoped that they would be selected by Julien Sheng.

Ever since they entered the capital, they were fascinated by the prosperity of the capital in an instant. In Yu Liansheng's house, they had to wear silk and satin, eat medicines and delicacies, and wear pearls and gems. In life, only by following Yu Liansheng and being Yu Liansheng's son can he be rich and honored for a long time.

Yu Liansheng said indifferently, "I'll talk about these things later."

Anyway, the house was almost finished repairing, so he specially ordered someone to raise the courtyard wall. When building the wall, the top of the wall was filled with sharp blades, broken porcelain pieces, thorns, etc., and blocked the back door and various corner doors, leaving only the front door. , Once the repairs are completed, they will be asked to live in immediately, so let's be ambiguous at this time.

Yu Liansheng's heart is extremely cruel, and once he has decided on something, he will never regret it.

Everyone in the Yu family knew that Yu Liansheng was willing, so they couldn't help but looked at each other, showing hostility to each other, and they didn't want others to be picked by Yu Liansheng. They were making a scene like black-eyed chickens, but they saw the little eunuch saying back and forth: "Everything has been unloaded, where should I put it?"

Mother Yu hurriedly interjected, "What? Someone gave you a gift again?"

The little eunuch remained silent. He had followed Yu Liansheng for many years, so he naturally knew Yu Liansheng's rules.

As soon as the words were finished, a few female family members ran out to the front yard to look at the things that had just been unloaded from the carriage. Their eyes were full, and then they came back and said to father and mother: "They are all good things, full of jewels."

After hearing this, Yu's mother hurriedly said to Yu Liansheng: "Since that's the case, send it here to honor your father and me."

Yu Liansheng touched the red agate string on his wrist, a look of coldness appeared on his face, and said: "If you are not afraid of death, then move it away. This is something I want to honor the master."

Hearing that they were filial to Emperor Changgan, everyone suddenly dared not speak up.

Yu Liansheng looked at them and smiled coldly. Who would have thought that these people were the ones who drove him into a desperate situation, but now they flocked to them and said, "The house is already being cleaned up. I will personally send you to the mansion tomorrow." Living in it, there are silks, satins, jewels, jade, emeralds, mountain delicacies and delicacies.”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Yu Fu praised: "I knew you were filial."

Yu Liansheng lowered his eyes, sneered again, and then turned around and said: "Didn't you see that the dishes on the table are cold? Quickly make a fat chicken and a big duck and bring them up, and send two jars of good Huiquan wine. Don't cry." Everyone is hungry."

The crowd beamed with joy, and seeing that Julien obeyed them in everything, they sat down and ate and drank.

Juliensheng left in a huff, handed the list of gifts to the little eunuch, and then ordered: "According to the list, except for mine, the rest will be sent everywhere. It is said that my aunt brought them from the south, but because of the filial piety at home, I'm afraid it will cause bad luck, so I'll send it to you."

The little eunuch agreed and went to take care of himself.

On the morning of the next day, Yu Liansheng selected a few rare objects and brought them into the palace with the bell ringing to honor Emperor Changqian.

Emperor Changqian took a few glances and said, "Your sister gave it to you again?"

Yu Liansheng said yes with a smile.

Emperor Changgan asked someone to put this chiming clock in the palace to replace the previous one. He was rich all over the world, so naturally he didn't care about a few things. No matter how precious the chiming bell was, it was not rare in the palace. What was more was Yu Liansheng's intentions, unlike others who flattered and flattered him, he also thought about giving gifts.

After studying it carefully, Emperor Changgan suddenly said: "I heard that someone is coming from your family?"

Yu Liansheng said in shame: "Exactly, I heard that officials from the Hejian Mansion went to the home to give gifts, and the family knew that the younger one was respectable in front of the master, and the whole family went to Beijing and lived in the younger one's home. "

Emperor Changqian remembered Dai Quan's family's arrogance and domineering behavior, frowned slightly, and said, "What are your plans?"

Yu Liansheng thought about it again and again, and then said his plan. He did not hide anything from Emperor Changgan, not to mention that he knew Emperor Changgan's disposition. The country is the most important thing. Although his own method is a bit harsh, it just solved the worries of Emperor Changqian.

Emperor Changqian smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid that people will say you are cold?"

Yu Liansheng said with a smile, "I take care of my parents, brothers, nephews and a whole family. How can I be so cool?"

Emperor Changqian burst out laughing, feeling even more satisfied. If Dai Quan was like Yu Liansheng, he would not have to worry about the eunuch's misfortune. He pointed to an excerpt on the case and said, "Look at this excerpt."

Yu Liansheng was surprised. Although Emperor Changqian trusted him, he never asked him to get involved in government affairs, so he hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Changqian smiled and said: "It's okay, this is Zhou Yuan's account of begging for bones. He said that he is over fifty years old and his energy is low, so he prayed to return to his hometown to teach his descendants."
