suspected wife

When Qiao Jing'an heard Lan's question, his face darkened, and he replied: "My aunt died more than ten years ago."

If the aunt hadn't been gone, he and his sister wouldn't have had such a hard time.

He glanced at Lan's and Qiao Jingkun again, wondering what the temperament of this mother and elder brother were?Now their family can only rely on their aunt and eldest brother.

There is no hope for Liu and Fang.

The couple looked at each other quietly, and both could see the seriousness on each other's faces.

When the Lan family heard that Aunt Xia was gone, she sighed and said, "Your aunt is a good person. When she came out of the Lan family with me, she served her with all her heart. If it wasn't for your grandmother asking me to take care of you because of the rules of the clan, If I stay in Yizhou, I will not give your aunt a face and let her go to Beijing with your father. If you marry her to a steward or an outside shopkeeper, maybe she can live a few more years and have grandchildren."

After hearing Lan's words, Qiao Jing'an's heart moved slightly.

Now that his father is gone, Liu and Fang are only concerned with seizing power, so who cares about his house?He couldn't study well, and he didn't have any household affairs to take care of. After his father left, the things that the two houses gave him might not be enough to make up for his daughter's dowry.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jing'an's face darkened.

It's not without risk that he left those two houses and went to cling to his aunt's elder brother who didn't know the details.Maybe it will be better in the future, maybe it will be worse than being attached to those two rooms.

Listening to Lan's words now, it seems that this aunt still thinks of his biological mother's affection for her.My heart couldn't help but settle down a bit.

Then he said: "Mother, please don't say that. When I went there, my aunt told me that if I have the ability to find my mother and elder brother in the future, let me take good care of my mother for her. Now my mother and elder brother are coming home I don't know how happy I am."

Qiao Jing'an felt more or less settled down now.Seeing how the aunt and eldest brother look like, they must not ignore their family.

The father distributed most of the family wealth to the eldest brother, and the remaining half was already divided up by Fang and Liu.

How can there be any good things in his hands?

Can't he see through all these years?

When his father was around, Fang's and Liu's would still do superficial tricks, but now that his father is gone, they would like to drive his family out of the house early.

Now they have to receive money and food in their room.The two rooms are pushed one by one.Now they can't even get the monthly money in their room.

Qiao Jing'an's wife, Huang Shi, was as determined as her husband when she saw that her aunt and elder brother still remembered their aunt.It must be much better to follow the aunt and elder brother than to follow those two people.

The couple then turned to pull their three children: "I have come to see your grandmother and uncle and aunt."

The couple gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is 16 years old and the eldest daughter is 14 years old.The second son is 11 years old, the same age as Ming Heng.Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter have not yet spoken of their marriage.Now the couple are worrying about the bride price and dowry of their eldest son and daughter.

The three children rushed forward when they heard their parents calling. The three of them had already been secretly looking at Mrs. Lan and Father Qiao's group.Then he knelt obediently and kowtowed to Lan Shi, Qiao's father, and Qiao's mother.

Qiao's mother is kind-hearted, she doesn't see people kneeling like this, and she doesn't have the habit.

The three children were picked up early.And Lan's and Qiao's father waited for the three of them to get up.Then he gave Ding Er a glance.

Ding Er received Lan's gaze, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand a purse to each of the three children.

These purses were prepared by Mr. Lan on the road.Ready to reward the juniors.I was well prepared, but I didn't expect to send out three of them today.

Qiao Mingjin also brought Ming Jue and Ming Yu to meet Qiao Jing'an's family.

Mrs. Huang held the hands of Qiao Mingjin and the sisters and said many affectionate words.She is not like Qiao Jingcang and the others who think that this is a group of people from the countryside. She thinks that Qiao Jingkun's family is very approachable, and she is very willing to make friends with this family.

Qiao Jing'an and his wife's performance in this way undoubtedly recognized their aunt's elder brother.For Qiao Jingcang, Qiao Jingya, Qiao Jingshan and others, this undoubtedly broke their plan.

Make them secretly annoyed.

If they twist into a ball and refuse to admit it to death, they will make trouble in the clan.Didn't the family wealth distributed to the long house end up in the hands of their family members?

Therefore, Qiao Jingcang and others looked at Qiao Jingan and his wife with a knife in their eyes.

Qiao Jing'an and his wife just couldn't see each other.How could they not know the plans of these people?

Even if the eldest brother's property is taken back from the clan.But what does it have to do with their room?Can you share them?

Therefore, I only drag Lan's group to talk.

The patriarch and several elders were very happy to see Qiao Jing'an doing so well.He said to Qiao Jingcang, Qiao Jingya and the others, "Haven't you gone to meet your mother and elder brother?"

How could it be so easy for those two people to compromise?He just glanced at Lan Shi and the others before standing still in the hall.

Seeing this, Lan said: "If you don't want to, I won't force it. Jingshan and Jingya were born in Beijing, and I haven't seen them a few times. Even if you stand in front of me now, I may not recognize you. As for Jingcang , although you were born in Yizhou, but you went to Beijing with your father when you were young, and I haven’t seen it a few times since then, even when you came back from Beijing, your aunt also took good care of you, so you can’t take it easy Come and say hello to me. I am old, and this look is not good."

Qiao Mingjin listened in the back row and smiled secretly.

The three uncles didn't recognize her grandmother, and it was even better for her grandmother to just say that she didn't recognize the three of them.

This concubine's disrespect for his aunt was nothing more than a few words of impoliteness.But the aunt does not recognize the concubine, which is a big problem.

Maybe you can say that you are not from Qiao's family.Not to mention that they will be separated immediately, they may not be able to live in Yizhou in the future, and they will not be able to call themselves Qiao's family in the future.

Qiao Jingcang, Jing Ya, and Jing Shan naturally understood the meaning of Lan's words.

I didn't expect that Lan's family was not at a disadvantage, and it was so difficult.They didn't want to recognize Qiao Jingkun's family, but unexpectedly Lan said that they didn't want to recognize them.The aunt doesn't recognize them, so what reason do they have to occupy the ancestral house?

All of them glanced at the patriarch and the elders, who happened to be looking at them too, waiting for them to give in.

These few people looked at each other, there was nothing to do for the time being, and without saying hello, they turned around and went out with their wives and belts.

This matter has to be discussed with their respective mothers.

When Lan saw them turn around and go out, she didn't say anything.

Just pulling Huang's family and talking about the daily life.

"Where are Aunt Liu and Aunt Chen?"

Mrs. Huang replied: "Aunt Liu passed away a few years ago. After her father left, Aunt Chen went to Anping Temple outside the city to chant scriptures for her father."

After speaking, Huang sighed inwardly.

His father-in-law had one wife and five concubines.

Needless to say, Liu Shi and Fang Shi.Mrs. Liu never gave birth to a son or a daughter in her ex-husband's family, so marrying her father-in-law was a blessing. Concubine Liu found a few imperial doctors who were good at gynecology and took care of her for several years.Instead, he gave birth to Qiao Jingshan, the youngest son.

The father-in-law is also very fond of this young son.With the care of her father-in-law and the palace, she has now become a sixth-rank magistrate.

The Fang family gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

With the grandma around, the second aunt from the Fang family was the best-married among several aunts.Now in Beijing, she is also the second daughter-in-law of a third-rank family member, and she has given birth to two sons and a daughter, but she is firmly established in her husband's family.

And Fang's two sons, Jingcang and Jingya, also obtained moderate official positions because of their father-in-law, and each married several wives and concubines.There were also quite a few legitimate children and concubine children.

Fang's house is now thriving.

However, the two aunts her father-in-law married in Beijing only gave birth to a daughter.Although the third and fourth aunts also married in Beijing, they are far behind the second aunt.

The one who married was just a bastard.It's just so-so.But after Aunt Liu left, Grandma Sangu had less contact with their family.I'm afraid that if there is a grievance in her in-law's family, no one will stand up for her.

As for her man's aunt, Xia Shi, because she served the mistress, the father-in-law returned some face.The aunt gave birth to the eldest aunt and her man.

The great aunt did not marry in Beijing, but in Yizhou.

At that time, my aunt also thought that there was a family in Yizhou. If she was gone one day, and the eldest aunt suffered some grievances at her husband's house, there would be a family to ask for help, but...

How can a child without a mother have such an easy life?

Not to mention the eldest aunt, even their house is oppressed by the Liu family and the Fang family, unable to get ahead.The wealth distributed to their concubines is still not evenly distributed.They say they want to keep their filial piety, and they still eat and live together, but they can't get the monthly money.

Where is their Qiao family short of money?

It's just that the two families are fighting for the reward, you push it to me, and I push it to you.Besides, the father-in-law distributed most of the family's wealth to the eldest house, just like gouging out their flesh.Where can I give up money?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang glanced at Mrs. Lan again. Maybe the situation of Qiao's family will change a little when the serious mother-in-law is back.

It can't be worse than it is now.

After the group sat down and finished talking, the patriarch and several elders saw that Mrs. Lan, Father Qiao and the others looked tired, so they asked them to take them to rest.

Because the main courtyard has been cleaned up, Qiao Jingkun originally wanted to give the main courtyard to Lan Shi to live in, but Lan Shi didn't want to.Still chose the Sanchun Courtyard where she used to live.

Qiao Jingkun had no choice but to give up and brought Qiao's mother to live in the main courtyard.

And Mingjue and Mingheng brothers lived in the front yard.Qiao Mingjin, Ming Yu, and Ming Qi lived in several yards to the east.

The good courtyards are all occupied by the Liu family and the Fang family, but fortunately, this ancestral house is the front of the Qiao family, and the side branches of the family also come to worship at the ancestral hall during the four seasons and eighth festivals.Therefore, it is usually repaired.

The courtyards that have been tidied up are all well-maintained and full of flowers. There are main rooms, side rooms and side rooms. The main room is bright and dark, with a clean room and a big bed.

The house they live in is much better than that of Qingchuan, and there is nothing to be picky about.

So the sisters lived happily.

It's just that although the courtyard is large, there is no maidservant to serve it, so it looks empty. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
