suspected wife

Two days later, Qiao Jingan's elder sister, Qiao Lanfen, who married in Yizhou, came to the ancestral house with her husband, son-in-law and children to greet the Lan family.

I have to say that Aunt Xia was wise, even when she was living in the capital, she married her daughter back to Yizhou all the way.

Probably because they knew that their daughter would not be able to rely on her in the future, and if Qiao Xingcun was not around, the couple would probably not take much care of her.Or marry her back to the family, and there will always be people in the clan to take care of her.

With Qiao Xingcun's official position, it is not difficult to find a good marriage for the concubine's eldest daughter in Beijing, but Aunt Xia wants to marry Qiao Lanfen back to Yizhou.At that time, Fang and Liu were ridiculed. Unexpectedly, it was later confirmed that Aunt Xia was very far-sighted.

And now that Qiao Jingkun's family is back, Qiao Lanfen will have another aunt and brother to rely on in the future.

Qiao Lanfen heard Qiao Jing'an and his wife say that the Lan family is very easy to get close to, and they still think of the master-servant relationship of their biological mother, Aunt Xia, so when Qiao Lanfen and his family came to the ancestral house, they brought a large cart of gifts.

The Lan family also asked Qiao Jingkun to welcome him at the second gate with his family.

Qiao Lanfen married the Chen family, a family of farmers and students in Yizhou, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.Now life is very good, the husband and son-in-law respect, the children are obedient, and they are in charge of the affairs of the in-law's family.Although there is no great wealth and great wealth, it can also be regarded as a small rich family.

When Qiao Lanfen came in, her complexion was rosy, her clothes were decent, and her hands and feet were elegant and generous.Her husband's surname is Chen Mingzhiming, a Juren, who works as a lecturer in an academy in Yizhou.

The eldest of the two sons has already negotiated a marriage.Wedding in March next year.The second son is 16 years old and is studying in the academy with his father.The youngest daughter is only 13 years old.Born with a delicate appearance.

Lan's family had asked Qiao's mother to prepare generous gifts for Qiao Lanfen's three children, and also prepared a gift for her husband and wife.

Qiao Lanfen didn't have much contact with Lan's aunt. After she gave birth, Aunt Xia wanted to send her back to Lan's side, but Lan didn't want to break up the mother and daughter.

Later, when she grew up, Qiao Xingcun also wanted to send her back to serve Mrs. Fang with Mrs. Lan, but Mrs. Lan never agreed.Later, after the Lan family took Qiao Jingkun away from home.I can't see it anymore.

When Qiao Lanfen came, he was uneasy.

Unexpectedly, they met each other. As my younger brother said, my brother's family is the easiest family to get close to. I also like Qiao's mother's kindness and simplicity, so I get along very well with Qiao Mingjin's family.

Lan's family left her and her family to live in the ancestral house that night.Said it was waiting for Qiao Jing'an to move.Help me out and go back.Qiao Lanfen also agreed.

When Qiao Lanfen lived in the ancestral house, she took her three children to Lan's side every morning and evening to pay her respects, and chatted with Qiao's mother and others, and they got along very well.

Her three children also had a good time with Ming Yu, Ming Jue and others.

On the day Qiao Jingan's family moved out, Qiao Jingkun brought his family to help.

He also ordered the chariots and horses of the ancestral house to wait for dispatch, and the servants also helped with the transportation.

Qiao Jing'an's family doesn't have many things.In addition, there are only four or five carriages for the whole family.

After helping Qiao Jing'an's family move, Liu and Fang also packed up and moved out of the ancestral house.

Those two people have much more things than Qiao Jing'an's family.Even the cars in the ancestral home are used.Also ran back twice.

Lan didn't show up, but Father Qiao took Qiao Mingjin and others to see him off anyway...

Two days later, after the arrangements were made for the three families, Lan held a family banquet in the ancestral house, invited the three families, and said that the family needs to support each other.

Qiao Jingkun, Qiao Jingshan and the others all got up and responded.

A family banquet also showed a bit of kinship.

After the three families moved out.The ancestral home was empty.

There are not many people in Qiao Jingkun's room, and there are no wives and concubines to disturb him.The vacant house, Mr. Lan, was cleaned by someone, and all the doors were locked.He also told the servants to check and clean it from time to time, lest the house be dilapidated if no one is there for a long time.

In this way, the twelfth lunar month has entered, and the family has been in Yizhou for a full month.

Qiao Mingjin felt a little melancholy watching the fallen leaves swirled by the cold wind.

The days are free, there is food and drink, nothing to worry about, peace and tranquility, but it makes people feel a kind of loneliness in vain.

Nothing to do ah, too busy to panic.

After a month of sorting out the affairs of the ancestral house, everything has been settled properly, and Qiao Mingjin is just helping to sort out the accounts and look through the account books.During the day, Wan'er, Ming Qi, and Ming Yu all went to the women's school, and she was flustered by being alone.

She didn't care about the affairs of the ancestral house. It was Mrs. Lan who took care of Mrs. Qiao.

Although Qiao's mother has never lived in a big mansion, and she is not good at socializing, but fortunately, she is sincere and kind-hearted, and the clansmen are willing to talk to her and listen to her talk about things that are different from their lives.

It's just a bit embarrassing to entrust the entire ancestral house to Qiao's mother, so the Lan family began to look for a capable granddaughter-in-law for Mingjue.

Qiao Mingjin, on the other hand, was really at ease.

She always wants to find something to do, otherwise she feels that she will be useless.

One day when she came back from the outside, she was lying on the table writing and drawing, when she heard a servant girl come to report that it was Mrs. Lan who asked her to meet guests in Sanchuntang.

Qiao Mingjin looked at Chun Ya after hearing the words: "Who is here?"

Chunya shook her head: "I don't know about this servant either. It's just that the people from Sanchun Hall came to report and asked the young miss to go."

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin changed into her clothes for meeting guests, and led Chunya to Sanchun Hall.

In the past month, many people have come to visit their family in the ancestral house, and sometimes, she can't remember who is who.Those relatives were so confusing, she was also very confused.

If Lan asked her to give a blessing, she would give a blessing, if she asked her to kneel, she would kneel, and if she asked her to call someone, she would follow suit.I really can't figure out so many relatives.

I don't know who came today.

As soon as he lifted his legs and entered the Moon Cave Gate of Sanchun Hall, he heard a commotion in the flower hall.

Qiao Mingjin paused, thought for a moment, then walked in.

Seeing her coming in with the curtain lifted, Mrs. Lan said to her, "Come in, it's cold outside, right?"

Qiao Mingjin nodded and said with a smile, "It's cold, much colder than Qingchuan."

Lan Shi took her hand and rubbed it, and Mother Qiao looked at her worriedly.

Qiao Mingjin smiled at Mother Qiao, then looked at the people in the flower hall.

Before she could open her mouth to ask, she heard a sharp female voice: "Oh, this is the eldest granddaughter of the elder sister, she really looks like the eldest sister. Look at the watery appearance, she looks the same as the elder sister when she was young."

Qiao Mingjin inquired in a daze and saw that the person speaking was a woman of about 50 years old, with a medium build, a little fat, and ordinary clothes. There were two or three red gold hairpins on her head, and she was looking at her with a smile on her face.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at the hall again, and there were people sitting on both sides, men and women, big and small, all looking towards her at this moment.

Qiao Mingjin looked at Lan Shi.

Before Lan could speak, the woman said again: "Oh, it's no wonder Mingjin didn't know him. When your father left, he was still the only one. I am your little aunt."

I also pulled a few middle-aged women, saying that they were three cousins ​​and aunts, and a few young men and women, saying they were cousins.

Qiao Mingjin was stunned.It turned out that this was the family of my grandmother's half-brother.

Looking at the man sitting on the opposite side, fifty or fifty years away, is this the little uncle?

Lan Shi also said to her, "Jinniang came to see your uncle."

Qiao Mingjin got up as she said and wished Lan Ankang well.

Lan Ankang hurriedly gave her a hand, and then took out a brand new purse and stuffed it into her hand: "Niang Jin, don't dislike it, this is a little kindness from my uncle."

There is a little embarrassment on the face.

Qiao Mingjin thanked him very solemnly, which made him even more embarrassed.This purse only contains a tael of silver, and it is half a sky away from the gift Lan's gift to his children and grandchildren just now.

Although the situation of his family is not as good as it used to be, it is still possible to get rid of some money.Only Shi's mother-in-law said that the Qiao family is now thicker than their thighs, and they are unwilling to let them go naked.

He wanted to give away an empty purse before, but after he fought for it, there was money in the purse, but it was only a few cents of money.This one is pretty thick.

Why can't Lan's see Lan Antai's expression?

Just don't want to break it.If you don't make any progress, you are also a family of siblings.

So Qiao Mingjin asked Qiao Mingjin to meet a few cousins, aunts, and cousins, and then sat down to talk.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the people in this hall, and thought that this little uncle had a lot of family members.

This uncle and aunt gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and seven grandsons and several granddaughters.Be darling, it's a good thing that people didn't finish coming today, otherwise this flower hall really wouldn't be able to seat so many people.

She had just looked around, and then heard that Mrs. Lan was talking, so she sat quietly on the seat and listened.

Although Lan was not very warm to his sister-in-law Shi, but he was really a sibling to Lan Antai, and he couldn't stop talking about family affairs over the years.

I am also deeply moved by what happened to the Lan family in these years.

Lan didn't expect that only twenty years after she left, the Lan family's big house in Yizhou City had changed hands, and the younger brother's family had moved to live in the countryside.

My brother's family has not been back for several years.

"Didn't Caidie marry in Yizhou City? How are you doing now?"

Lan Caidie is the eldest daughter of the eldest brother of the Lan family.Her eldest brother gave birth to a daughter and a son, and now her son has been selected as a Jinshi, and the whole family is working abroad, so he won't come back soon.But Blue Butterfly is still in Yizhou.

When Shi Shi heard Lan Shi ask about Lan Caidie, he curled his lips.

This Lan Die married very well, her husband's family is also a big family in Yizhou, although she is not the head of the family, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law are still there, and the whole family lives together, and she has two sons and two daughters, and her parents-in-law love her very much. The husband's family has the right to speak.

After the fall of the Lan family, Shi also often came to visit, but five times out of ten it was good to see someone.

Mrs. Lan glanced at the sister-in-law, afraid that the visit was fake, but the autumn wind was real.Doesn't she know what Shi Shi is like?

After her elder brother left, she remembered clearly how Shi Shi treated her elder brother's family of orphans and widows. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
