suspected wife

The Qiao family in Yizhou is a common surname that lives together with a group of people, most of whom live in the east city of Yizhou.

It turned out that the ancestors of the Qiao family only built a small house in Chuanhua Lane.I don't know if it's due to the good Feng Shui or something else, since the ancestor of the Qiao family built a house in Dongcheng, they have been thriving since then.

When there are too many people, once you enter the house, you will gradually become unable to live in it.Slowly expand outward.

Since then, the ancestors of the Qiao family have paid more attention to the education of their offspring, either sending them to academies, or inviting people to teach them at home.The children and grandchildren are slowly all infected with the fragrance of books.After studying hard, more and more people became officials.

After the children and grandchildren are promising, the house will be built bigger and bigger.

Today's Chuanhua Nong and the eastern district where the Qiao family is located have become gathering places for the descendants of the Qiao family.

The Qiao family's old house that used to be in Chuan Hua Nong has gradually become the ancestral house of the Qiao family's direct line.

Later, a family temple was built and an ancestral hall was set up in the ancestral house. All the offerings to the ancestors during the four o'clock and eighth festivals will be held in the ancestral house of Qiao's family.

Therefore, regardless of whether the direct line of the ancestral house is in the Yizhou family or is an official outside, the position of patriarch is inherited by the direct line.If the patriarch is not in Yizhou, an acting patriarch will be elected by the clan to carry out the affairs of the clan.

Therefore, no matter how promising the offspring are, how big the house is built, and how magnificent the interior is, even if it is more than the ancestral house, it will not be comparable to the status and prestige of the ancestral house.

Even the concierge of the ancestral house, the imposing manner should be compared with the descendants of the side branches and the common branches.

But now the people living in the ancestral house are not the authentic direct descendants recognized by the clan.

Therefore, when Ding Er sent the letter back, it did not reach the ancestral house.Instead, it was passed on to the generation patriarch and several patriarchs.It was these people who asked him to find Qiao Jingkun's family back then.

None of the people living in the ancestral house knew it.

So when Qiao Mingjin's family entered the territory of Yizhou, naturally there was no scene of welcoming them from ten miles away.

It wasn't until they entered Yizhou City that the housekeeper sent by the patriarch waited at the gate of the city.

"Ding Er is in charge!"

"Butler Zhao!"

The two greeted each other hand in hand.The two servants brought by Steward Zhao also hurriedly stepped forward to help pull the horse's reins.

Butler Zhao stretched his neck and swept back and forth on several cars, and asked in a low voice, "But have you found Master Jing Kun and Mrs. Lan?"

Steward Ding Er nodded.

Steward Zhao's expression froze, he quickly stretched his clothes, trotted to the side of the two wider carriages, and saluted, "The younger one's surname is Zhao, and he is the steward of the acting patriarch's family. Let Master Jingkun and Mrs. Lan go home I sent the younger one here to wait for the news. The younger one has seen Master Jing Kun and Mrs. Lan."

Father Qiao heard him finish speaking in the carriage, and responded: "Steward Zhao has worked hard. Thank the patriarch and several elders for my family."

"Master Jingkun is too polite."

Just as I was about to say a few more words, I heard a voice from another car: "The patriarch has made arrangements, can our family still have a place to live?"

Steward Zhao wiped off his sweat, thinking that this is Mrs. Lan.

He hurriedly replied: "Mrs., three days ago. After the patriarch heard the news that your family was going to enter the city, he sent someone to inform the ancestral house that the main courtyard was cleared up, and also the east courtyards were cleaned up. Although they don't know why, they must have known it well. It's just that they don't know the exact return date of the young master and madam."

After speaking, he stood with his hands down.

After a while, Lan asked again: "Who lives in the original main courtyard? Who lives in the Sanchun Hall now?"

Zhao Guanshi bent his waist by another two points.Respectfully replied: "The original main courtyard has been empty since Master Xingcun left. Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Liu both have their own yards. Sanchun Hall has been empty since Mrs. Lan left. Master Jing Kun's Songyuan has been Someone lives there. Now it’s Master Jingcang’s family.”

Qiao Mingjin listened carefully.This Jingcang must be the eldest son of his grandfather's Ru wife Xiaofang.

After Zhao Guanshi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lan's response.He pleaded guilty and led a group of people into the city.

Along the way, he waited on the side of the two cars, telling Joe's father and Lan's what happened these days from time to time.Occasionally, I would mention Qiao's father and Lan's.

Father Qiao thanked the patriarch for this arrangement, and thanked Butler Zhao repeatedly.

Butler Zhao had never met Qiao's father and Lan's before, so he only knew that this task was thankless.I am afraid that I will be secretly hated by the people in the ancestral house.

I didn't want to accept the job, so I waited here for two days, the young master and wife who had never met before were so modest, not at all as arrogant as the people in the ancestral house.

Those people didn't even look down on the patriarch and the few elders.Where did you see him as a butler?

I was very emotional.

He became more respectful.Along the way, Mrs. Lan and Father Qiao knew everything they asked.There are endless words.Provided Qiao Mingjin and others with a lot of useful information...

After entering the inner city, the speed of the car gradually slowed down.

There was a lot of people outside the car, and the hawkers kept shouting, and it was extremely prosperous.A few small fingers were itchy, and they always wanted to lift the curtain of the car and stretch their hands to see, but with Mrs. Lan by their side, they had no choice but to sit upright.

Qiao Mingjin only felt wobbly, and he didn't know how many roads and alleys he had passed. Only then did he feel that the voices of people gradually became quieter, and the car gradually slowed down until it stopped.

"I'm coming!"

Qiao Mingjin heard voices and footsteps outside. It seemed that there were a lot of people.

"Is it Jing Kun?"

The carriage stopped in front of the Qiao family's ancestral house, and when there were sounds of footsteps outside, the family inside the car felt a little more real.

It was only now that Qiao Mingjin saw a slight fluctuation on Lan's face.

After the car curtain was gently lifted, a servant girl came to help Qiao's family get out of the car.

"Third Uncle. Sixth Uncle. Eighth Uncle. Ninth Uncle." Father Qiao's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

After many years, these acquaintances are old, and he is also old.

He has never been to Beijing with his father, and has always lived in the ancestral house.When he was a child, he had received the help of these people, and these people had spoken for his mother and son.

"Jing Kun, you are really back! Uncle has been looking forward to you for more than 20 years."

The third uncle, Qiao Xiangwen, with a small gray beard, is the younger brother of Qiao Jingkun's grandfather.He was in his seventies, and his spirits were flickering. Seeing that his body was still strong, he was very excited when he pulled Qiao Jingkun.

Father Qiao held the third uncle's hand tightly, shouted: "Third uncle..." and burst into tears.

The people around were all sad when they saw it.

The eldest grandson of the direct line of the Qiao family has been living outside for more than 20 years, living a life of hunger and fullness...

The Qiao family is a big family in Yizhou, and has always paid the most attention to bloodlines.The Qiao family's sons are prosperous, and the side branches are more prosperous than the direct branches.As for Qiao Jingkun's grandfather, Qiao Xiangyou, he was just a white man at that time, far less outstanding than the descendants of the side branch and the commoner branch, but his blood was there, and his ancestral house had always been lived by him, and he was also the head of the clan.

Otherwise, Qiao Xing is gone now.The clan will not make any effort to get Qiao Jingkun back.

Except for the third uncle, everyone else also came to say hello to Father Qiao and the others.

Not to mention what everyone thinks inside, as long as Father Qiao's status as the eldest son of the direct line, many people respect and flatter him.

Besides, the two wives in the ancestral house brought their children to make a fuss too much, even the family members were arranged, and Qiao Jingkun's here.After wandering outside for so many years, he must have no background, connections or money.This kind of human race is also easier to handle.

And after a hundred years of planning, the ancestral property of the Qiao family has reached an enviable level.

Historically, this ancestral property has been in the hands of the direct branch, and the side branches that have been distributed must rely on the year-end profits from the ancestral property to support the family.

Therefore, everyone hopes that the head of the family director is a person who is generous and not greedy for money, and has a simple background.

Otherwise, the head of the house, the wife of the head of the house, the children born of the head of the house, and the old relatives of the family will show a little casually, and they will be a little less. The way of life for these side branches?

It's better to come to the house with no background.

The Lan family also disappeared.Lan's parents are gone, and Qiao Jingkun's daughter from a peasant family is not to be feared.

It doesn't matter what the person who greets you in front of the courtyard is thinking.In short, there is a group of harmony on the surface.

It was only at this time that the people living in the ancestral house knew that the clan had sent people to find Qiao Jingkun and Lan Shi, and everyone had already arrived at the door today.

Not to mention the chaotic situation, at least he was at a loss like a headless rope for a long time.

At this time, each house also sent people to wait at the gate to inquire about the news.

The third uncle and several clan elders met with Qiao Jingkun and the Lan family, and expressed their love for each other.Father Qiao also called Mother Qiao, Qiao Mingjin and others to meet them one by one.

The third uncle looked at the servants who were stretching their necks to look around at the entrance of the courtyard, snorted, and said loudly: "Quickly go and tell your master, let them come to the hall to meet you!"

Hearing this, the clever boy turned around and ran away.

In the eyes of the acting patriarch and several clan elders, only the Lan family entered the ancestral hall on the second day of their wedding and paid homage to their ancestors.So her eldest son, Qiao Jingkun, is the authentic direct descendant. On the second day after his birth, Qiao Jingkun was carried into the ancestral hall by the previous patriarch and dripped blood into the shrine. No one dared to doubt his identity.

Therefore, these two are the ones they recognized as representing the authentic direct lineage.

No matter how loudly the other people shouted, no matter how powerful they were, in the eyes of Qiao's family, their origins were not right.

What Xiaofang and Liu, I am afraid that they will have to wait until they die before they can welcome the tablet into the ancestral hall.Four o'clock and eight festivals worship, where can women enter the ancestral hall?

At the gate of the Qiao family's ancestral house, not to mention the darkness, at least there were not many people here.

No matter what the purpose is, it doesn't matter if it's to welcome them sincerely, or to send people to inquire about the news, or to follow the third uncle and others to wait on them, anyway, there are quite a lot of people.

Seeing so many people, Wan'er was a little scared, and held Qiao Mingjin's hand tightly.Ming Qi followed Qiao Mingjin closely.Ming Jue and Ming Heng followed Qiao's father on the left and right with calm faces, Ming Yu supported Qiao's mother whose legs were a little weak, and Qiao Mingjin accompanied the expressionless Lan.

The family was led into the yard. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
