The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 554 Arriving in the Capital (4)
Mr. Xiao sat up straight, "What else can I do to arrange it? It's nothing more than settling everyone down first. Count the belongings and erect the ancestral hall. After this busy period, use the company's money to buy properties and choose capable The stewards will take care of it. After a few years, the Xiao family will naturally grow up slowly. As for you, do you have a filial piety for Ding You?"

Xiao Maolin's face remained unchanged, "Since the old man ordered, then follow the old man's arrangement. As for the death of the old lady and the filial piety of his son Ding You, it was reported yesterday. I will go to the yamen to clean up tomorrow. After the handover, you should stay at home and keep your filial piety for the old lady."

Mr. Xiao nodded, "That's fine. Although the old lady is not your biological mother, she is still your mother in name. She passed away, and you should be filial to her, so don't hold any grudges."

"My son doesn't dare." Xiao Maolin looked terrified.

Mr. Xiao snorted coldly, "Don't be sloppy in front of the old man. Although I haven't seen your backyard with my own eyes, I have heard a lot about it. It's really ugly and ridiculous. Take advantage of the day of keeping filial piety, clean it up carefully. After a while, send those who should be sent away, and those who are disobedient will be sold directly. As for your concubine sons and daughters, if you have the heart, you can put them under the name of your daughter-in-law and raise them. There will be good luck in the future, It’s better to say it out loud.”

When Tan opened his mouth, he was about to object.Xiao Mingqi firmly suppressed Tan Shi, not allowing Tan Shi to come forward.Tan stared at Xiao Mingqi fiercely, Xiao Mingqi did not show any weakness.At this time, it was a critical time for the old man to talk to his father. If Mrs. Tan came forward to speak, no matter whether it made sense or not, it was wrong and unruly.Xiao Mingyu didn't remember how the capital was, but Xiao Mingqi did.She has seen the rules of the capital before.In the past two years, Xiao Mingqi has also grown a lot, and now he is no longer the arrogant and unscrupulous Xiao Mingqi back then.She also learned to weigh, learned to compromise and strategy.

Tan had no choice but to endure it.

Xiao Maolin said, "My son will definitely take care of the things in my son's backyard. As for those children, they are still young. My son still wants to think about how to deal with them."

Mr. Xiao snorted coldly, "You are really confused. Can children who are brought up by the aunt's side compare with those who grew up by the aunt's side? Although they are all concubines, there is a distinction between concubines. If you For the benefit of the Xiao family, one should choose the most correct path. Don't be led by a woman by the nose after a few coquettish bastards talk nonsense. Ming Hui is a living example."

Xiao Maolin hid his dissatisfaction in his heart, and showed embarrassment on his face, "Father, that's not what my son meant. My son just said that there are priorities. The children are still young, how to arrange them, after my son discusses with Mingzhen's mother , it will not be too late to decide.”

Old Man Xiao coughed several times, Xiao Maolin looked very nervous, "Is it important, old man?"

Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "Don't worry, I still won't die. The old man is old and his body is failing. From now on, I will leave the big and small affairs of the Xiao family to you. Listen to what the old man said today. From today on, Mao Lin is the patriarch of the Xiao family, the head of the Xiao family, and I will ask him for instructions on everything in the future. As for Ming Zhen, he is the heir of the Xiao family's head and the eldest son of the Xiao family."

Tan was surprised.Xiao Maolin frowned, "Old man, Minghui..."

"Let's pretend that Ming Hun doesn't have this person. After a few days, after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the status of the eldest son of Ming Zhen will be officially determined. This matter has been decided by the old man, and no one can refute it."

Xiao Maolin sighed secretly, "The son will follow his father's wishes. Mingzhen, why don't you thank the old man quickly."

Xiao Mingzhen knelt down in front of Mr. Xiao, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and made a big salute.The old man Xiao was very relieved, and asked someone to help Xiao Mingzhen up, "Do well, the old man is optimistic about you. While observing the filial piety, study hard. When the filial piety period is over, let your father find you a good gentleman, or go directly to The Imperial College is also fine. In short, you should think about your own future, and don't miss your own future."

"Thank you for your teaching, my grandson will keep it in mind." Xiao Mingzhen said respectfully.

Xiao Maolin said with concern: "Old man, my son will help you down to rest."

Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "You take care of things, I have someone here to take care of me, I don't need you."

Han Shi stood up at this time, "I have seen the old man, I have seen the uncle. There is something I want to tell everyone."

Mr. Xiao looked at the Han family with complicated eyes, "Is it about the Han family?"

"It's not about the Han family." Han said calmly.

Xiao Maolin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Fifth brother and sister, feel free to speak up if you have something to say, we are all a family, so there is no need to treat others like this."

Mrs. Han nodded, "Thank you, Uncle, then I will say it. My husband is gone, and I am now a widow. I have already made plans to keep festivals for my husband for three years."

"It's so good." Mr. Xiao was very pleased.

Mrs. Han continued, "It's just that the house is cramped, and everyone has a lot of things to do. Our fifth room occupies a single courtyard, and it's really not good to bother my uncle and sister-in-law to worry about it. I have two houses in the city, and they are always guarded. I I plan to have someone clean it up, tidy it up, and move in after a while."

This Hu Rurui shocked the sky, and shocked both Mr. Xiao and Xiao Maolin.Mr. Xiao couldn't believe it, "Fifth daughter-in-law, you want to move out? Did the Xiao family treat you badly? Did you suffer wronged? If that's the case, tell me, and I will make the decision for you."

"The old man misunderstood me, and he didn't wrong me, and no one treated me badly. It's just that I'm a widow who keeps a business, so it's really inconvenient to live with the fourth and the eldest. I'd better move out, it's more convenient Everyone." Han said respectfully, "Don't worry, old man, my daughter-in-law will always be the fifth wife of the Xiao family, both of the Xiao family. Naturally, Mingyu and the others are also children of the Xiao family. My daughter-in-law was born as a Xiao family, and died as a ghost of the Xiao family. The old man doesn't have to worry about his daughter-in-law having other ideas. The daughter-in-law said she would keep her husband's festival for three years, and she will definitely keep her promise."

Mr. Xiao sighed again and again, "Have you made up your mind?"

Mrs. Han nodded, "Yes, my daughter-in-law has already made up her mind. Please let the old man do it."

Mr. Xiao and Xiao Maolin, the father and son secretly exchanged glances, Xiao Maolin asked softly, "Fifth brother and sister, it's been a hard journey. You see the house is in a mess now, and nothing has been straightened out. It's about moving out. It's not in a hurry at this time. It won't be too late to discuss the matter after all the affairs in the mansion are settled. What do you think of the fifth brother and sister? And from my heart, I hope that everyone will live together. Now the Xiao family Encountering a catastrophe, we really need everyone to help each other and support each other. Living together, the fifth sibling can feel at ease to observe the festival for the fifth younger brother. Our eldest and fourth bedroom can help the fifth younger sibling to clean up other things, so that the fifth younger sibling will not worry about it. In this way Come on, the fifth sibling also saves time and can live in peace."
