Everyone in this group looked at Qiao Mingjin and his family when they came in. Qiao's father also turned to look at them since they came in.
There was a little excitement on his face, these were his relatives.
Mrs. Lan didn't even raise her head and only brought tea to drink. Mother Qiao was a little nervous.
The clan leader and several elders glanced at the people who came in and asked, "Where is your mother?"
Similar in age to Qiao's father is Qiao Jingcang, the eldest son of the Xiaofang clan. After hearing the clan leader's question, he replied: "The two mothers are unwell and are resting in bed."
The clan leader snorted heavily after hearing this.
Why didn't you stay in bed two days ago when you were fighting over the family property?
But it was not easy to have an attack, so he said again: "Your aunt and eldest brother are here, why don't you come over to pay homage?"
Qiao Jingcang and the people behind him looked at each other and didn't move.
A woman standing next to him said to the clan leader and several clan elders: "The eldest lady and eldest young master have been gone for more than 20 years. I don't know whether they are dead or alive. Where did the clan leader find them?"
A group of people? Don’t make the mistake of making a joke.”
Father Qiao felt refreshed after hearing this. Mrs. Lan raised her eyelids and glanced at the woman.
After hearing this, the patriarch immediately slapped the table: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this person so easy to recognize? If you don't identify him carefully, who would dare to identify him casually?"
The clan elder named Uncle Ba next to him said: "Jingcang family, don't talk nonsense here. Don't think that you don't recognize Jingkun's family. The property your father-in-law gave Jingkun will fall into your hands."
.Your father-in-law said before his death that if Jing Kun cannot be found, the clan will still be in charge of what is allocated to Jing Kun. You will not be able to get involved."
The group of people who came in looked very happy after hearing this. They were either ashamed or angry.
And the Jingcang family member sneered after hearing this: "Isn't that right? Of course you are willing to divide the huge business accumulated by our direct descendants. But you are afraid that others will say that if you divide the inheritance of the direct descendants,
, so you randomly find an unknown person and assume the name of your direct eldest brother, and you can share your share openly, isn't it mutually beneficial?"
Not to mention the clan leader this time, several clan elders wanted to break up the case after hearing this.
"Jingcang family! Don't talk nonsense! You are not the only one who has paid interest in recent years. There are many side branches and subordinates working outside, and it is not in vain to make more concessions than your direct branch. Which family has no food to eat? Yes.
Share the wealth of your direct descendants!"
"Then who knows? Who would think it's too much money to bite the bullet?"
Several tribesmen were very angry after hearing what she said. But they didn't want to get too entangled with this woman, and they couldn't do anything to make her laugh. They couldn't help but let people laugh at her, so they stared and their chests heaved.
When Lan saw this, he slowly put down his tea cup. He looked towards the woman, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "Your surname is Fang too, right?"
That woman was Xiao Fang's natal niece. As the saying goes, good news should not flow to outsiders, so Xiao Fang hired her to his eldest son early on.
At this time, Mrs. Fang saw Lan's calm face and looked at her coldly. She was frightened by the aura exuding from Lan's body. She nodded blankly: "My surname is Fang. What do you think?"
Lan tilted his head and smiled.
Said: "No, that's my guess. Your mother-in-law must still want Mrs. Ru to become the eldest lady after I leave, right? She also wants to take advantage of me to take advantage of Mrs. Liu after I leave. Your mother-in-law must also not
Stop making trouble, okay? These three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all have the surname Fang. Is this the Qiao family going to change their surname to Fang?"
The clan leader and several clan elders calmed down after hearing Lan's words, and just sat aside and listened quietly. Although they wanted to help the town, if they could handle it themselves, why would they bother to interfere with the eldest brother's affairs?
Housework?
They didn't think it before, but now that they heard what Lan said, it was true that three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all had the surname Fang.
If Lan and Jingkun don't come back this time, this family can really change their surname to Fang.
Qiao Xiangyou married the Fang family. The Fang family made a fuss about letting her son Qiao Xingcun marry her natal niece Xiao Fang as a concubine. When the eldest son was born, she made a fuss about raising a second wife.
Ever since Lan took his eldest son away, there has been no shortage of troubles.
I want to make the second wife, the little Fang, the main wife, so that I can overcome the Liu who doesn't take her seriously. Because Liu got the marriage from the palace, she thinks she has someone to rely on, so she doesn't take Fang too seriously.
.
As a widow, Mrs. Liu took up the position of the right wife. After Mrs. Lan left, Mrs. Fang originally wanted to call Mrs. Liu back to Yizhou to serve her for the sake of the younger Mrs. Fang, but she didn't pay attention to her at all.
Fang was very angry.
When Mrs. Fang was there, she suppressed Mrs. Liu and refused to raise her as the main wife.
Even when Mrs. Liu later gave birth to a son, Mrs. Fang did not let go despite the explicit hints from the palace. She only said that the Yizhou family had strict rules and could not allow a widowed woman to become the main wife.
Qiao Xingcun also had his own ideas, and was unwilling to raise a concubine who had climbed into bed as his main wife. He said that it was never the custom in our family to treat a concubine as his wife.
The two families have such a wonderful balance. Xiao Fang and Liu each have their own support, and they often have troubles.
And Mrs. Fang adopted Xiao Fang for her son, and Xiao Fang adopted Xiao Fang for her eldest son. Isn’t this the third generation of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with the surname Fang?
Although the Liu family is taken care of by the palace, the three generations of Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are twisted into a ball, which is not something Liu can do.
At this time, the clan leader and several clan elders couldn't help but sigh when they thought of the years when Lan's mother and son left. At that time, the eldest brother's house was very lively.
Neither of the two families is convinced by the other.
One relied on the marriage granted by the palace and the income from the palace concubine Liu, and insisted on occupying the majority. The other relied on the support of her mother-in-law, Fang, and had merit in giving birth to the eldest son of a concubine, so she made a lot of noise.
Everyone wants to be big.
However, Qiao Xiangyou, Qiao Xingcun and his son, and the Fang family did not let go.
Qiao Xiangyou personally hired the Lan family for his son, and Qiao Jingkun has always been by his side. Even after the mother and son left, he never had their names erased from the family tree.
Therefore, Qiao Xingcun's group is also very funny. There is no distinction between who is older and who is younger, so the servants have to call Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Fang.
It turns out that Qiao Xiangyou lives in the two houses, and Qiao Xingcun and his son are holding them back, which is better.
But now Qiao Xiangyou and Fang had left early, and Qiao Xingcun was gone last year. There was no one to escort the people in these two houses, so they naturally took risks again. No one was convinced by the other.
Now that Mr. Fang is gone, Mr. Fang has become Mrs. Fang, and the wife Qiao Jingcang married has become Mr. Fang.
Xiao Fang's family couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that their group was provocative, but Lan's family was still as stable as a rock.
I thought that this family would jump up and scold them like a shrew, so that people would know that the people in this house could not bear the honor of the eldest son, so that they could be kicked out.
But now I heard from the Lan family that the three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiao family were all named Fang. The Qiao family was going to change their surname. She secretly took a look at Qiao Jingshan and the others.
Sure enough, they saw Qiao Jingshan, the youngest son of the Liu family, and his wife frowning.
Seeing the competition between the two houses, Mrs. Lan secretly laughed in her heart.
Then he said: "You don't have to doubt the identity of our family. Just call Mrs. Fang here, and she will naturally know whether I am the first wife of Qiao Xingcun, the matchmaker. At first, Mrs. Fang came to her aunt with ten taels of silver in her pocket, saying that her family
My aunt could not tolerate her, and she cried so miserably when she arrived at the mansion. I did not see it. But I think some old people in the mansion still remember her. What did Mrs. Fang say when she saw me? Kneel down and worship me.
I have never forgotten what she said during tea, and what she said in my room the night before I went to the capital with your father-in-law. You can go back and ask her."
After speaking, he took a sip of tea and glanced at the dozen men and women who entered the hall.
Then he said: "Fang, even though Mrs. Liu gave birth to you, you can't call them mother. In this family, if you still think that Qiao Xingcun is your father, then you only have me as your mother. Mrs. Fang
Although Mrs. Liu is called Mrs. Ru, Mrs. Right, it only sounds nice to outsiders. She is just an aunt in the genealogy."
After a pause, he said: "Whether they are really sick or unwilling to kowtow to me, I don't care. It is what it is, and it cannot be said to be white or black, nor is it based on what you say.
Two sentences can change it. The Qiao family has been in Yizhou for a hundred years and has its own rules. If you abide by the rules, everyone will be in peace. If not, just follow what your father said before he separated the family.
You can move out in a few days, out of sight and out of sight. Your father must have also divided your house."
After Lan said these words, he picked up the tea again and didn't look at them again.
Qiao Jingcang and others looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
This Lan family is not an old woman who lives in a farmer's house as they found out. How does she look like a country woman?
Their mother still wants to take advantage of Qiao Jingkun's family. How can they take advantage of this?
The clan leader and several clan elders were extremely pleased after hearing Lan's words. She was indeed a lady, and she should be like this.
It seems that the turmoil in the ancestral house won't last long, and old people like them can have peace of mind.
I would be invited to my ancestral home every now and then. Even though I was raising bird's nests and ginseng, my old arms and legs couldn't withstand a few twists and turns.
Clan leader Sui and several clan elders stopped talking, and they all brought tea to drink in a tacit understanding.
Why do they need to control the situation here? Lan and Jingkun can completely control it.
There were about ten people standing in the middle of the hall, none of them spoke. Only a couple standing at the back looked at each other, then walked forward and knelt down in front of Lan and Qiao's father: "Greetings to mother.
, say hello to big brother."
Lan Shi glanced at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?"
The man then said: "Back to mother, I am Jing'an. My biological mother is Aunt Xia."
After hearing this, Lan quickly asked Father Qiao to help them both up.
Then I took a closer look at him.
Qiao Jing'an ranks third among the sons, preceded by Qiao Jingkun and Qiao Jingcang. His biological mother, Xia, was originally the maid of Lan family. Before Qiao Xingcun went to Kyoto to take up a post, Lan family favored Xia family and followed Qiao Xingcun to Beijing.
serve.
The Xia family later gave birth to their eldest daughter, Qiao Lanfen, and their second son, Qiao Jing'an, in Beijing.
Lan saw that Qiao Jing'an looked a bit like Aunt Xia.
Then he asked: "Where is your aunt?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
