Chapter 35

The little aunt's uncle and aunt finally returned to the countryside, and there was a calm down there.But seeing that this year is coming soon, the second master's family over there also came back from other places.

The second master mentioned here is the younger brother of Xiao Dingbang, Jing Shu's grandfather. Jing Shu's father was also born in the imperial examination, but he was not as lucky as Xiao Zhongqing. He was supported by a concubine and sister, but he was directly admitted to Jinshi, and then he worked step by step from the county magistrate.The second master was very proud of this, and felt that he had a lot of face.

But Mrs. Zheng despises it in her heart. My second son is not allowed to take the exam.Maybe he got the number one scholar too, so he disdained his sister-in-law and second wife to show off his eldest son from time to time.But this is all whispering secretly, of course it is hello, me, hello, everyone.

"Yongquan from the second brother's house came back this time to report on his work. He asked his daughter-in-law to tidy up the Tingsong hall and let their family live in it." Xiao Lao

It is rare for the head to order such a thing.

Mrs. Zheng said: "It's up to you to order. There's a letter from there saying that they want to come back. The eldest daughter-in-law is already ready, just waiting for them to come back."

I don't know what will happen when I come back this time. Mrs. Zheng really doesn't want to see her sister-in-law. I think the second wife and Mrs. Zheng fought famine in front of her mother-in-law back then, so there is no grievance at all. It's impossible. Although everyone is about to have a great-grandson now, how can the grievances be eliminated?
"Jingshu, do you know your uncle's family?" Mrs. Zheng teased Jingshu.

Jing Shu had never seen this family before, so she asked, "Is he grandfather's younger brother?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile, "Your uncle and grandfather are now following your hall uncle. This time, he is going to Beijing. We will see you in a few days."

It turned out to be the case, Jing Shu nodded and asked, "Then why didn't my uncle stay in the capital, but went to other places with Uncle Hall instead?" Isn't it like this for all the officials who go to other places to be officials?
Mrs. Zheng said: "This is a story. Your uncle sold the house he was assigned to. There was no room left, so we had to go with him. We are the Duke's Mansion granted by the emperor. You can't keep the offshoots that have been separated, so your uncle's family has no choice but to take up the post."

Thinking that Dingzhou is a good place, the family must have made a lot of money in the past few years, and it would not be a problem to buy another house in Beijing.However, Mrs. Zheng has seen through her younger brother and sister. Even if she wants to buy a house, she will let herself pay some money. This is her style.Mrs. Zheng is not afraid of her, but she just finds her annoying. Fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law is in charge of the house now, so naturally the daughter-in-law is worried about this matter, hehe, I feel comfortable thinking about it.

Hearing what grandma said, Jing Shu couldn't help thinking that in a few years, maybe her family would be separated from this country's government. After all, her father is the second child and cannot inherit the title, but this is where she lives so much. I was really reluctant to move away from the place I had been in for many years, and it showed on my face when I thought about it.

Mrs. Zheng saw that her good granddaughter was suddenly unhappy, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "What's wrong with Jingshu? Why is she suddenly unhappy?"

Jing Shu said: "In the future, we and Dad will also move away, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it."

Mrs. Zheng laughed loudly, "Little girl, you can think too far. Let's see if your grandma is in good health?"

"Of course, grandma's health is better than mine." Jing Shu was telling the truth. Although everyone called her Mrs. Zheng, she was actually only under 50 years old.He is usually full of energy, can eat and drink, and can argue with his grandfather.It is not a big problem to live to be seven or eighty years old.

"Then what are you worried about? As long as your grandfather and I are alone, the family will be inseparable. I think my wife will be alive for at least ten years. By then, our Jingshu will be married. Where do you need to move?"

That's right, but grandma, are you kidding me? Jing Shu is very speechless about her grandma's statelessness. She is still a child, okay? Why does it involve getting married?

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Huguo Gongfu received the Laba porridge rewarded by the palace early. After the whole family ate it, they sent Laba porridge to the in-laws. Since then, the taste of the year has become stronger and stronger. Auntie Fan Shi was naturally too busy to touch the ground, so Qin Shi also went to help.

In addition to worrying about the family's New Year's Eve this year, Mrs. Fan was also distracted by preparing a place for the second uncle's family. House, what do you mean by coming here all the time?"

Mrs. Qin should only listen to her nagging, which can only be regarded as nagging, and she still needs to prepare after nagging.Finally, on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Jingshu's family came back with their family.There were seven or eight carriages back and forth.

Xiao Dingbang and Mrs. Zheng are elder brothers and sisters-in-law, so naturally they don't need to go to greet them, only the juniors go out to greet them.The old couple called their grandchildren to wait in their main room. After all, the weather outside was very cold, and the old couple also felt sorry for their grandson, but they didn't want them to go out to blow the cold wind.

Five grandchildren, big and small, and nine granddaughters filled the house.The population is really thriving, Jing Shu sighed again.It can only be said that my grandfather is really a cow!See if they are all related to him!
The youngest sister, Ying, is two years old this year and is still held in the arms of the nanny. She also came here today. It is estimated that Old Man Xiao wants his second brother to see his grandchildren.

Eldest brother Xiao Ming was muttering something to second brother Xiao Yan, probably because he couldn't get along with Jing Shu and the others, third brother Xiao Luo was lively and said some interesting things to amuse Xiao Dingbang and Zheng The old lady laughed.

Jing Shu thought, the third brother is really good, he can eat everywhere, let's say the uncle's house, there are three sons, but the uncle only likes Xiao Luo, wishing that he is his own son.It made the eldest cousin Qin Yuan jealous (haha, not really jealous), not to mention the grandfather and grandmother, they are called sweethearts when they meet.Even the auntie said that the third brother is a good person. You must know that Jingshu's aunt is strict and rarely praises others. It is not easy for the third brother to get her praise.

At this time, the girls are going to pretend to be gentle, after all, the uncle's family will come over later.Sister Fen has lost weight since she went to Qingxiu Temple, but she seems to have resigned herself to her fate and has become taciturn.Jing Shu was about to observe the other people again, when a maid came to inform the Second Master's family that they were coming.

Except for Xiao Dingbang and Mrs. Zheng sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, everyone else stood up. Alas, it is better to be grandpa and grandma. Seniority and positions are there, and you can show off. How far is it to salute others?

While Jingshu was thinking wildly, the uncle and dad brought in two middle-aged couples about 50 to [-] years old, wearing blue dark pattern jackets, but because it was winter, they looked a little bloated, and the cloaks had already been taken off After giving it to the servants, Jing Shu secretly guessed that these two were the uncle and grandmother.Before taking a closer look, the two saluted their grandfather and grandmother first, and Jing Shu followed the main force to salute the two.Then there is the legendary uncle in the hall leading the aunt in the hall to salute. After a lot of tossing, it is still very troublesome. There are so many etiquettes in ancient times.After everyone bowed to each other, Jing Shu had time to look at these people, so as not to admit mistakes in the future.
