Glory all the way

Chapter 117
"It's not easy for your uncle and aunt of the Xue family..."

Although she knew that this was a secret matter of the Xue family, but thinking that Bai Yingluo was a child, and she didn't want her to target Xue Zhe like a little hedgehog, the old lady Bai sighed and told the story of the past years. out.

If you don't listen, you don't know, but when you hear it, Bai Yingluo immediately feels a little more admiration for Mrs. Xue, who has picturesque eyebrows and a gentle expression.

Mrs. Xue's boudoir name is Tan Rong, the daughter of General Mobei's family.

The Qin family has been stationed at the border for generations, so Tan Rong grew up in Mobei since he was born.

Living in Mobei, where the eyes are surrounded by vast deserts, there are not so many rules and regulations, and she likes to ride horses and hunt with her brothers on weekdays, Tan Rong's temperament is more free and easy than ordinary girls.

That year, Emperor Jiayuan, who was still the crown prince, came to the throne for the first time. General Tan brought his wife and daughter to Beijing to report on his duties. Qin Rong followed his mother to the temple to offer incense, and met Xue Yanzhai who went to light the everlasting lamp for his mother.

Under the towering ancient trees, Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong looked back at each other, and they were destined to live forever.

At that time, the Xue family was in close contact with the Taichang Temple Qing's family. Xue Yanzhai's father, now the old master Xue, had already fallen in love with the eldest daughter of the Taichang Temple Qing's family, even the Geng Tie had been changed.

That young lady is three years older than Xue Yanzhai, and she learns how to take care of the feeder with her mother on weekdays. It is said that she is also a good hand, and it is because of this that Mr. Xue fell in love with her. Support the inner house.

Mrs. Xue passed away early. For the sake of her children, Mrs. Xue did not continue her marriage. She took care of the affairs of the inner house with one hand, and only waited for the eldest son to grow up and marry a daughter-in-law to take care of the chores of the inner house.

The matter between Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong ended up making the Xue residence restless.

On the one hand, it was the reputation of the lady from the Qing family in Taichang Temple, and on the other hand, it was the begging of his son. Mr. Xue was very angry, and he was ill for a long time.

After recovering from the illness, Elder Xue personally came to apologize. Since then, the family has had no contact with the Xue family.

However, Xue Yanzhai was also having a hard time. He was ordered by his father to be named on the gold list in order to be eligible to marry Tan Rong.

After the congratulations, Tan Rong returned to Mobei with his parents.

Seeing that their daughter had passed the age of age, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, who were originally persuaded by her daughter, saw that Xue Yanzhai was two years away from the exam, and they couldn't wait any longer.Someone came to propose marriage three times successively, Tan Rong first tried to persuade her with soft words, but in the end, she declared her ambition with death.

When Xue Yanzhai was nominated for the Gold List, Qin Rong was already dead, and she was already considered an old lady when she was placed in the official house of the Great Song Dynasty.

The capital was thousands of miles away from Mobei, and Xue Yanzhai traveled long distances, bringing his servants to greet the relatives, and he brought along with him his promise to Tan Rong that he would never leave him as a couple for the rest of his life.

In the first few years after returning to the capital, everything was not so smooth. Mrs. Xue always felt that it was Tan Rong who missed the eldest son. Otherwise, the Xue family would have been well-off, and the inner house would have settled down long ago.

Whether it should be taken for granted or deliberately made things difficult, in the second year of their marriage, Xue Yanzhai took an errand as a seventh-rank official in the south of the Yangtze River. After going there for three to five years, he would not be able to return.

At that time, Qin Rong, who had just been married for a year, had just taken care of the huge Xue residence.

Following Xue Yanzhai to the south of the Yangtze River, the affairs of the inner house were either left to the father-in-law, or to the sister-in-law who was not yet ready. Not to mention Xue Yanzhai, even Tan Rong himself would not be able to do such a thing.If you don't go, the husband and wife will live in two places, and it will be difficult to see each other, let alone give birth to children.

During that time, the expressions of Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong were never clear.

After all, it was the daughter of the general's family, who acted decisively and courageously. After thinking for three days, Tan Rong prepared the luggage for Xue Yanzhai and sent him out of the house in person.

After that, Tan Rong served her father-in-law, took care of her uncles and sisters-in-law, and took care of many trivial matters in Xue's house for three years.

Three years later, my younger uncle Xue Yanjun got married, and the old master Xue, who had already softened his heart, hurriedly arranged for a proper servant to send Tan Rong to Jiangnan Xue Yanzhai's side.

After hardships and hardships, a couple of lovers can finally stay together forever. In the third year, Xue Yanzhai was promoted to the county magistrate in Suinan due to his outstanding achievements. During the Chinese New Year, Xue Yanzhai took Qin Rong and his son Xue Ping, who had just turned one year, to the capital to meet Mrs. Xue. .

Xue Yanjun is the second child of the Xue family, but gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Xue family. During the years when Xue Yanzhai and Tan Rong were released, the family affairs were handled by Mrs. Xue.

In the 12th year of Jiayuan, Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong were still in Suinan when Mr. Xue was sick. Before his death, Mr. Xue divided the family property into two. The current house and half of the property were given to Xue Yanjun, and Xue Yanzhai got the other half. .

After receiving the letter and rushing back to the capital, the old master Xue had already walked around in front of Lord Yan and came back. He looked at his second son and daughter-in-law who had lost a lot of weight, and then saw Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong who had rushed back. Although Mrs. Xue thought it was a bit hasty, but after all, the so-called will has already been spoken, and the second son and the second daughter-in-law have served him for so many years, and they have worked hard without credit. On the other hand, Xue Yanzhai should have taken responsibility like a father He seemed a little lacking.

Taking advantage of the fact that his two sons were in front of him, Master Xue read out the will again, and went to the government to record it.

From then on, the Xue family's house in the capital was regarded as the second room's private property.

When Ye Luo returned to his roots, Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong didn't care how they traveled in other places. The capital city was their home, and when they got old, they would definitely come back. I was sorry, and suddenly felt aggrieved.

After serving Mr. Xue recovered from his illness, Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong embarked on the journey back. During this trip, except for sending some things back during the holidays, or visiting Mr. Xue when they went to Beijing to report their duties, they never came with their family. .

According to the old customs of the Song Dynasty, when the family was divided, the ancestral house was divided equally, and the ancestral house would only be allocated to that house unless one house took full responsibility for the elderly, but this is also the case. Very few.

Mrs. Xue was not confused at the time of his death. He made such a decision, presumably because of seeing his second son and daughter-in-law working hard at the sick bed, and he was impulsive. Qin Rong's heart.

The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, Xue Yanzhai felt dissatisfied, but why didn't Old Master Xue feel sad?

Those old past events are so long that people can't remember them clearly, but once they are mentioned, they will make people feel unbearable pain, like a gust of wind blowing, leaving a lot of regret in their hearts.

Now that the house of Xue's family has already belonged to the second room, if Xue Yanzhai returns to Beijing to report on his duties in the future, he will have to buy a new property. With the trace of the past, Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong absolutely do not want their son to be sent to the fence. Even if that person is his own younger brother.

Compared with Xue Yanjun, Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong's relationship with their younger sister is much closer.

Not to mention that the eldest brother is like a father, Xue Yanzhai has a lot of protection for the only younger sister, and only said that during the three years when Tan Rong was in charge of the family, he got along very well with his sister-in-law.

Tan Rong's temperament is careless, he says something, he is not like those noble ladies in the capital who are coy, and when he comes and goes, Xue has a bit of Qin Rong's temperament, even after Tan Rong left the capital, until Xue and Ji Afterwards, she married into the Jing'anhou Mansion. For so many years, the private letters between the two have never been broken.

This is also the reason why Xue Zhe stayed in the capital to study, but chose to live in Jing'an Hou Mansion instead.

"Grandpa Xue, I must be very sad..."

She didn't comment too much on Xue Yanzhai and Qin Rong's actions, thinking of the old man who was about to return home, Bai Yingluo's heart was full of embarrassment.

After Mrs. Xue passed away early, Mrs. Xue never remarried again. At first, she was afraid that the three children left by her wife would be wronged. Later, the children got married and started their own businesses. Sorry, in this life, when I was old, I ended up alone.

Whoever it is, will feel a little unbearable, right?
As an old man, the old lady Bai could understand it better. Seeing what Bai Yingluo said, she also sighed.

"Your Cousin Xue met Yuan when he was 14 years old. It can be seen that he is an extremely intelligent child. How can he not know about these things in the family? So, although he looks happy every day now, he may feel very uncomfortable in his heart. , You, don’t pick up any pot without opening it, and annoy him later.”

Since Xue Zhe was born, she has never been loved by her grandparents. As soon as she thought about it, the old lady Bai felt a little unbearable. Thinking of Bai Yingluo's resistance like a little hedgehog just now, she hurriedly warned her softly.

After listening to this lengthy story, Bai Yingluo's heart, which was originally conflicted and confused, suddenly softened.

When I first met Xue Zhe, arrogance was his sensitive protective layer. After getting to know him, his humility was his true and kind face. Now, seeing that he has won the love of all the people in Jing'an Hou Mansion, I suspect that He wanted to do this, but he didn't know what was on his mind.

Thinking that she had speculated about him like this, Bai Yingluo felt a little ashamed, but on the other hand, she was glad that she didn't say anything too sharp to Xue Zhe.

At this moment, her heart was full of sympathy for Xue Zhe's current situation, and when she heard her grandmother's advice, Bai Yingluo nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Meeting Xue Zhe again in Qing'an Hall, Bai Yingluo withdrew those sharp needle lights on her body, and sat quietly listening to Xue Zhe talking to her grandmother.

Occasionally, the two would quarrel like children. Although they blushed and their necks were thick, they would not really annoy each other. Prepare an ingenious birthday gift.
