Chapter 41 Turning Faces (1)
Qiushi squatted down, and said to Brother Shun in a friendly voice: "Brother Shun, this is what your father and grandmother often told you, don't you remember?"
Only then did Brother Shun poke his head out, and boldly called out: "Father."
Hearing the cry, Han Jianye picked up Brother Shun, threw him into the air, and then caught him safely. Brother Shun didn't cry in fright, but his face was pale. Han Jianye wanted to throw it again, but Brother Shun hugged his neck tightly.
Qiu scolded: "He who is a father is still so incomprehensible, why don't you put the child down quickly, what should you do if you scare the child?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hug the grandson.
The strange thing is that Brother Shun still hugged Han Jianye tightly and refused to be hugged by Qiu Shi. Qiu Shi smiled, after all, they are father and son, even if it scares him, he still kisses his father.
Han Jianye said without anger: "Where are you scared? I used to tease him like this, and I couldn't stop laughing every time!"
Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "At that time, it was only a lot, how old is it now?"
After saying a few homely things, Han Jianye asked about the business: "Mother, is grandma's coffin still parked in the family temple?"
Speaking of this, the smile on Qiu's face disappeared immediately: "Well, it's still parked in the family temple, and your elder brother is there too! Just in time for Fu Ling to return to his hometown for burial."
Han Jianye was full of questions: "Mother, Yuxi said that her grandmother left a last word before she died, and Yuxi may not be allowed to keep her filial piety. What's going on?"
Qiu's heart became angry when she mentioned this, but obviously now is not the time to say this: "You go back to the yard to freshen up, and I will tell you about this later."
Han Jianye shook his head and said, "No, I'll go to the family temple first." After returning, he must hurry to kowtow to his grandmother, and there is no rush to wash up.
When Lu Xiu walked in, she heard this. Looking at the unshaven Han Jianye, Lu Xiu was very sad: "Second Master, you are back..." When she got excited, she even used the old address.
Han Jianye looked at Lu Xiu, frowned and said, "Why did you lose so much weight?" When he went to the northwest, his wife was very plump, and there was no flesh on her face.
"Second Master..." She couldn't say the rest of the words, and just shed tears there. In the capital for more than a year, I was really worried day and night, afraid of hearing some bad news. As for being thin, it's actually not bad, it's only during this period of time that I've become a vegetarian and I've lost some weight.
What Han Jianye was most afraid of was that a woman would cry. Seeing that Lu Xiu was crying, he said in a hurry: "Why are you crying, am I not coming back?"
After saying a few words, Han Jianye went to the family temple with his entourage.
Qiu patted Lu Xiu's hand and said, "Don't be sad, Ye'er will stay at home for a year this time, if you have anything to say, talk to him slowly."
Lu Xiu nodded.
After holding such a funeral for a big family in the capital, they will be exhausted. Although Han Jianming didn't collapse from exhaustion, he was terribly tired during this time.
When Han Jianye arrived at the family temple, he saw the exhausted Han Jianming, and immediately called out, "Brother, I'm late..."
Seeing this, Han Jianming said, "It's not too late, come here, and offer incense to grandma." Han Jianye is a grandson, and he is in such a remote place in the northwest, so he won't be picky if he can come back before his seventh birthday.
Han Jianye lit the incense, kowtowed, and burned the paper money, then looked at Han Jianming and asked, "Brother, where are father and third uncle? Why are you alone here?"
Han Jianming said: "Father and third uncle both fell ill and went back." He was young and strong, so he resisted.
Han Jianye was a little puzzled, and asked, "Mother didn't tell me when I got home!" Father and third uncle are both in the mansion, so it's time to meet and salute anyway.
Han Jianming put his hand on Han Jianye's shoulder,
Said: "Father has returned to the other hospital, as for the third uncle..." Han Jianming was thinking about how to tell Han Jianye about this.
Han Jianye was wondering: "Brother, I read your letter to Yuxi? What's going on? Well, how could grandma say such things?" He still hasn't figured it out yet.
Han Jianming ordered his followers to watch, and then took Han Jianye to the back room. There was no one in the room, so he said: "Since you read the letter, you should know that grandma wants to expel Yuxi from the family, right?"
Han Jianye nodded and said, "This is too absurd. Don't say it's just a substitute, even if it's not a substitute, you can't do this." It's too cold-blooded to want to separate the relationship when something happens.
Han Jianming said helplessly: "Everyone knows this is absurd, but the third uncle still supports grandmother's decision. Otherwise, grandmother would not insist on expelling Yuxi from the family."
Han Jianye was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he said, "Brother, what you mean is that the third uncle meant to excommunicate Yuxi? How could he do that? Yuxi is his own daughter, how could he scare this heart so cruelly?" Woolen cloth?"
Han Jianming showed disdain on his face: "I don't know whether he encouraged my grandmother. However, his dislike for Yuxi is true. Because of what the monk Tong said, he almost forced Yuxi to death? "This is no longer partiality, and treating enemies is nothing more than that. It is unique for my father to do this.
Han Jianye didn't know what to say.
However, Han Jianming asked, "How does Yuxi react when she knows this?" Yuxi doesn't have a deep relationship with her grandmother, and even if she knows about it, it won't have much impact, at most, her reputation is not very good. But Yuxi is also a person who has weathered the storm, and the rumors of that idea can't do her any harm.
Han Jianye said with a wry smile: "I cried a lot at that time, and my fetus was gassy. Fortunately, Yuxi is in good health, otherwise the child might not be able to keep it."
Han Jianming's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Yu Xi is pregnant?" Then he said with displeasure on his face, "Why didn't you write a letter to inform me about such a big matter."
Han Jianye said: "It seems that you can't tell the outside world if you say something that hasn't been three months." He forgot to tell his mother about it just now, and he will probably be scolded later.
Han Jianming also knows such a custom: "This girl, it's hard for her. Marrying in such a place, there is no family to take care of her, so she has to rely on herself for everything." If she married in the capital, there would definitely not be so many disturbances.
After hearing this, Han Jianye said: "You don't have to worry about Yuxi, this girl is quite popular now, Yunqing is obedient to her, as if she had been replaced. People in the barracks often use this It's just a joke, saying that Yunqing has turned steel into soft fingers!" When he said this, a smile appeared on Han Jianye's face.
Han Jianming felt relieved when he heard this, nodded and said: "That's good." Yunqing cares about Yuxi so much, so he definitely won't care about the rumors, not to mention that Yuxi is still pregnant, which is equivalent to With the Shangfang sword.
After a pause, Han Jianming said, "After my grandmother is buried, the third uncle will move out of the Duke's mansion. Father also agreed to this."
After hearing this, Han Jianye still couldn't help but said: "Brother, why do you think they are the third uncle's daughters? He loves Yuchen so much, why doesn't he want to see Yuxi so much?" Is that dad? Those who don't know think they are enemies!
Han Jianming also has no solution to this: "In the future, when you have children, you have to make a bowl of water level and don't be partial." They can't force Han Jingyan, they can only let themselves do well, and don't treat their children badly.
Han Jianye sighed in a rare way: "It's also fortunate that Yuxi is a strong-tempered person, and I don't know what to do if I want to change into an ordinary person!"
On the day Fu Ling returned to his hometown, both Han Jingdong and Han Jingyan showed up. A group of people sent the coffin back to their hometown, which is in Fengtian. On the second day after arriving at his hometown, Mrs. Zhou was buried.
Looking at Han Jingyan who was crying in front of the grave and was about to pass out, Han Jianming felt very ironic. It's just to make everyone think that he is a filial son, otherwise why would he cry so sadly.
After finishing the funeral, they stayed in their hometown for a few more days, contacted the clansmen, and the group headed back home. The first thing to do after returning home is to divide the things left by Mrs. Zhou.
During the palace change that year, the Zhou family's yard was ransacked by bandits, and many valuable things were taken away, especially gold, silver and jewelry. But over the past few years, the Zhou family has accumulated a lot of good things, in addition to several thousand acres of fertile land and several shops.
Under normal circumstances, these things must be divided equally between brothers. Although Han Jianming has a pimple in his heart towards Han Jingyan, he is not stingy when it comes to money. Furthermore, if the dowry of the elders has not left a will, it will be divided equally between the brothers, which is the default of everyone.
Seeing that Han Jingyan was silent, Wen stood up with her big belly and said to Han Jingyan, "My mother-in-law left her last words before she died, saying that she would leave her dowry to us. Why don't you remember such a big thing."
Because it was to share Zhou's dowry, all the masters of the Han family, big and small, were here. As soon as Wen's words fell, the whole room fell into deathly silence.
After hearing this, Han Jianye's expression changed, and he asked, "Third Aunt, did Grandma really say that?" He didn't pay attention to the farm shop, but Wen's words made him very angry.
Hearing this, Han Jingyan also had an extremely ugly expression on his face, and his eyes fell on Wen Shi like knives: "Do you have a place to speak here? Shut up yet."
Although Wen Shi was a little scared, thinking that such a large sum of money would be gone, it was like cutting her flesh. What's more, her son will still have a share of the money in the future! Now she said boldly: "This is obviously what my mother-in-law said. Not only did I hear it, but Yurong and the maids in the house also heard it." .Grandpa, I know you love your brother and love your nephew, but this is the dying wish of my mother-in-law, and you can't disappoint my mother-in-law."
Hearing this, Han Jianye laughed angrily: "I didn't understand how my grandmother left the last words not to allow Yuxi to keep her filial piety, but now I understand! So the so-called last words came from this way."
Han Jingyan said with a cold face, "What do you mean by that?"
Han Jianye is not stupid, how could he go against Han Jingyan? No matter what, Han Jingyan is an elder, he is a junior: "What can I mean? I just feel that my grandmother's behavior before she died is not the same as before. I was just thinking, big brother is Grandmother loves her grandson the most, but grandma doesn’t leave him with anything to make people think about, and leaves everything to third uncle.” Han Jianye almost said that Zhou was ill and confused before his death, and he acted differently from when he was sober. Of course, if you think about it too much, you will feel that these words mean something, as if you are coveting Zhou's dowry. (to be continued)
