The landowner's wife of the imperial examination

Chapter 3 to upgrade again

In the east wing, on Zhou Lan's side, looking at the things that the little daughter-in-law sent over, and the bright candles in the room, I felt much more at ease.

Although this daughter-in-law is small and playful, she can be coaxed, and she knows that she misses him.

Since his father died, Zhou Lan has not felt so at ease for a long time.

When his father was in office, the second uncle in the family took care of the common things. His father was gone, grandfather, grandmother, and the second uncle directly asked him to observe filial piety to his father.

Not to mention going to the school, even the second uncle sent back the master whom my uncle looked for. The reasons are all ready-made, to keep filial piety.

Originally, Zhou Lan was not so concerned about going to the school, but he was spoiled by his family, and his father was gone. He was afraid and ran to hide in the yard of his grandfather and grandmother.

It just so happened that I heard the conversation between the second uncle and his grandfather and grandmother.

What the second uncle said was: "The eldest brother is gone, Zhou Lan is confused in the school, and the father and mother will not be able to follow my son in the future. Can I follow my grandson? It's mine."

At that time, Zhou Lan was only 12 years old, and he really didn't understand the change of his second uncle's face. With his father gone, could it be that his grandfather, grandmother, and second uncle disappeared together?

Zhou Lan stayed out the window for a long time that day.He understands that nothing will be the same in the future.

The next day, he was sent back to his hometown by his grandfather and grandmother to observe filial piety, and he tied his daughter-in-law by his side on the grounds that he needed someone to serve him.

Zhou Lan looked at her grandfather and grandmother, unable to say a word.

Her mother was naturally weak, and the only thing Zhou Lan did when she returned to her hometown to keep filial piety was to send a letter to her uncle and take care of her mother.

After three years of conflict, the period of filial piety has just passed, and the uncle and aunt accompanied his mother back to the house. The mother had already arranged his marriage, and Zhou Lan could not think about it hastily.

The uncle only said one sentence to Zhou Lan: "It is said that the younger generation should not talk about the elders' right and wrong, but your grandfather and grandmother are really not kind, if your mother is in Zhou Mansion, even if you are protecting her, she must be scolded. A word of filial piety can crush people to death."

Zhou Lan believed this. From the time his grandfather and grandmother arranged for him to return to his hometown to observe filial piety, Zhou Lan knew that along with his father's death, there were also the Zhou family who thought they were relatives.Some people live as if they die.

But what does uncle mean and how to arrange mother, Zhou Lan is reluctant to think about it.

When the sky was dawning, Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi were greeted by the old nanny next to their grandfather and grandmother.

Xiao Liangkong was busy for a while, so he went to the old man to serve tea. Zhou Lan said to Jiang Changxi one step behind, "Don't be afraid, there is me."

Since yesterday, what this person has said the most is 'don't be afraid'

From a mental analysis, Zhou Lan should be on guard against these people in the house, otherwise why would he say 'fear'.

Jiang Changxi went up and pulled Zhou Lan: "Well, with you here, I'm not afraid."

Zhou Lan was satisfied, and there was someone to accompany him, so it was good.

The elders in the main hall of the Zhou family had already taken their places, which made Jiang Changxi, who stepped into the door, wince.

Zhou Lan: "Don't be afraid, we're not too late."

Jiang Changxi said softly: "Well," he said in his heart that it was because their elders came early.

Zhou Lan took the bride to pay homage to the elders and met relatives.

Grandfather and grandmother took their seats and nodded to the young couple with a smile, but it didn't reach the bottom of their eyes.

Only Mrs. Lin held up the tea respected by her daughter-in-law and smiled happily: "Jia'er, beautiful woman."

This is a mother-in-law who has protected her from beginning to end. Jiang Changxi raised her head and smiled brightly at her mother-in-law.

Zhou Lan brought tea to her mother: "You worked hard yesterday."

Madam Lin took Zhou Lan to look up and down. The child grew up and knew that it was not easy for her.

Eye circles are red: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's because of your aunt. I should be your mother."

The second wife, Mrs. Sun, who was sitting next: "Sister-in-law, today is a good day. You have a beautiful wife to take care of in the future. Sister-in-law, are you relieved to return home?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Those clansmen who came over for wedding wine and were waiting to recognize their relatives were all shocked.What is the Zhou family's second room going to do? (Zhou Lan's old grandfather ranked second in the clan, and Zhou Lan's uncle's house was called the second house by the clan.)
Do you have to tear your face to make it look so ugly?

Zhou Lan's face paled, knowing that these relatives had changed with his father's death, but he didn't know how bad people's hearts could be.

Zhou Lan stood up to protect her mother: "Second aunt, my father is gone, and the Zhou family is no longer supported by the fourth-rank patriarch. That is also a big family. Second aunt, you are disrespectful to the elder sister-in-law, and it really humiliates the Zhou family."

Madam Lin took her son's hand and said to her in-laws, "Zhou Lan, don't be disrespectful to your second aunt."

Then he stood up and bowed to his parents-in-law sitting above him: "My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin, married into Zhou's family at the age of 17, and treated her with respect as a guest. Today, today..." At this point, the eldest lady choked up.

Zhou Lan never thought that with his grandfather and grandmother, the second uncle and second aunt could do this: "Mother."

Lin Shi: "Today, my daughter-in-law is returning home. In the future, I will ask my parents-in-law to look at their deceased husband and take care of these little children."

Jiang Changxi was stunned. What happened? On the first day of the wedding, her mother-in-law returned and went back to her parents' house.

Then I heard the second uncle beside my grandmother say: "sister-in-law, don't worry, my uncle will not be greedy for nephew's things. Today, in front of my sister-in-law, I will divide the family."

The second aunt, Mrs. Sun, pretended to say, "mainly because I am afraid that I will have to trouble my sister-in-law to run back and forth in the future."

This is the speed of doing a roller coaster, ha, Jiang Changxi doesn't know if he should be surprised.

Looking up at the second room of the Zhou family, this proper villain.And it doesn't look good.

Lin didn't look at the couple in the second room of the Zhou family, but looked at the in-laws in the upper seat: "What do you want? Our orphans, widows and mothers are all up to our parents' orders."

The old grandfather of the Zhou family, the old lady turned her head and did not look at Lin.They are old and can only take care of themselves, not their grandchildren.

Master Zhou said: "The tree has big branches, we are too old to take care of so many."

Lin's tears fell, and this was her filial in-laws.The father and mother that the deceased husband trusted until his death.

If the deceased husband had knowledge underground, I wonder if he would climb out of the grave in anger.

Aunt Qi went over to help her sister-in-law: "Mr. Zhou, your words are really nice, what are your plans for the second room of the Zhou family, who can you hide from the people in this hall? Your Zhou family's affairs are full of Baoding Mansion to inquire about it, will it hurt? ."

Uncle Tuesday's face was not good-looking, and it was always uncomfortable to be poked in the spine: "It's not my turn to talk to outsiders about the matter of my Zhou family."

Zhou Lan's uncle, Lin Yan got up and said slowly, "My father and my uncle are big, and my mother's uncle is big. It stands to reason that your uncle is alive, and I don't have the right to speak."

Then he bowed his hands to the relatives of the Zhou family: "Everyone, I'm sorry."

That's why I attacked Uncle Tuesday: "But the child's father is gone. I want to divide the property with your uncle. My uncle won't come. Did you divide it on Tuesday?"
