Bastards are difficult

Zhang Xiu got up and tidied up, and saw that Zhang Mi and Zhang Wei had also packed up and came out. Zhang Wei got up earlier, and he had to get up early every day to practice martial arts. In other words, I admire this little Seventh Uncle very much.

After breakfast, Zhang Xiu checked the gifts to be given to Uncle Yongning and his family members: "Does Uncle Wu still live in Uncle Anning's mansion now? I'm afraid I didn't prepare well."

Zhang Mi smiled strangely: "How could it be? The fifth child has grown up in skills now, and the government has been divided."

Zhang Xiu felt strange: "Didn't you stay in the mansion three years ago?"

Zhang Delirium also snickered: "Our little sister-in-law is also willing."

Zhang Xiu wondered: "What's the matter? Aren't Uncle and Uncle Wu always on good terms?"

Zhang Mi hee hee.

It turned out that Uncle Anning's wife Zhang Yan had been unwell in recent years, so she gave some things to several concubines of Zhang Yan. One of the concubines was bought from a brothel. With a weak and pitiful appearance, and being able to talk to Zhang Yan very well, he is naturally very favored.

When Zhang Yan's first wife is in good health, she can naturally suppress her, but since she fell ill and has to take care of her children, the defense against her is naturally weak. If she didn't, the concubine fell ill. Zhang Yan was so distressed that he immediately forced his concubine to divide half of the housekeeping rights.

Zhang Yan's wife vomited blood angrily, and her condition not only did not improve but tended to worsen, but it was easy for her to let go, but now it is not so easy to regain her dignity.

The concubine's room is also interesting, she has the monthly profit and the errands of human relations have mastered the financial power, and the arrangements are well-organized-if you don't look at her exaggerating the high and trampling the low and embezzling the servants' money, as for the high and the low, compared with the Earl of Anning For Gao He who has a higher position than Zhang Yan and has real power, the exchange gifts are three points heavier than when Zhang Yan’s wife was in power. As for those who are not as good as Zhang Yan, they are directly five points lighter. She regarded it as the one who beat the autumn wind.

Zhang Nuo, Zhang Yan's younger brother who lived in the Anningbo Mansion, was also under control.

Zhang Nuo is Zhang Yan's younger brother. Zhang Nuo didn't separate out when the Zhang family separated, but lived in the west courtyard of Uncle Anning's mansion. There are five or six courtyards in this west courtyard, and Zhang Yan's wife doesn't treat him harshly. He, even Zhang Nuo's family's monthly prescriptions came from Uncle Anning's house. Zhang Yan followed his mother's will and took good care of this younger brother who was born in the first place.

But the concubine from the brothel didn't think so, so what happened to the younger brother?If Zhang Nuo had an official position and money to earn like Zhang Qian, she might still be willing to look at him, but it's a pity that Zhang Nuo himself just idled around looking for cats and dogs, not doing business, and filling the vacancy of an eighth-rank imperial guard was never I haven't tried Mao before, so it's not pleasing to the eye after a long time.

As a result, Zhang Nuo's life began to be difficult. There was no source of income, and expenses continued. Every time the servants went to collect the money, they were sneered and mean. Even his wife and children began to shrink their clothes and diet.

Zhang Yan was naturally angry. Zhang Nuo was also his younger brother, but unfortunately, his concubine couldn't help his concubine's tearful eyes and heart-wrenching heart. After a long time, the brotherhood naturally disappeared.

But what does Zhang Yan say, no matter how cruel he is, and no matter how good he is, he just relies on a hereditary title of uncle's mansion and a fourth-rank Dianyi (the ancestor of the Zhang family was a military officer). The professional dandy, lustful and playful, at least a little modest and not out of line, such men basically have a common problem, that is, they can't stand the wind blowing around their pillows.

This concubine's bedside wind blows day after day and month after month. Even Zhang Yan thinks that Zhang Nuo has been relying on Anning Bo's house for so long that he is too useless, and he should throw it out to experience it, but he himself He didn't show up, and only gave it to his wife, but she refused with a sneer, and then the concubine came out.

The favorite concubine appeared on the stage, one was worth ten, she had a good mouth, she had a brilliant tongue, turned right from wrong, and turned the bright and shy people into good for you. Although Zhang Nuo was also a dude, she was protected by her mother before My father said that my brother would help me later, and it can be said that I have never passed the second term, and after I almost died of anger, I moved out of Anningbo Mansion in a rage.

This matter was very popular in the capital for a while at that time, don't be too lively about doting on concubines, destroying wives and brothers against each other, other families who have a relationship with the Zhang family are ashamed to admit that they know them, let alone other branches and concubines Yes, just shut the door and can't get out.Zhang Jin and Zhang Yi (the second and fourth child) left the capital as soon as the family was separated, and it was Zhang Mi and Zhang Wei who were sad.

Fortunately, these two have big hearts and strong nerves, otherwise they would be ashamed to death.

Zhang Xiu was very surprised when he heard this: "Don't you just let her torment like this? What about my uncle?" This is a sign that he will spoil his concubine and destroy his wife.

Zhang Delirium sneered: "My sister-in-law is so sick that she can't get up, so it's good to be able to take care of herself. Fortunately, Miao'er is married, otherwise I don't know what to do.

No matter how bad the relationship with Zhang Nuo is, they are also the brothers of the same father. It is one thing to look down on yourself, but it is another thing to be tossed about by a scumbag. It is a pity that Zhang Yan used to be lenient. The servant girl couldn't listen to anyone's words. If it wasn't for the ability of the sister-in-law's family, she might have been forced to death.

Zhang Xiu was speechless, it reminded him of Tong Banchao's family's favorite concubine Si Er in the Kangxi Dynasty, his first wife has become a human pig, and they have been stigmatized for thousands of years, historical celebrities.

"Then I'll go to Uncle Fifth's house another day. But I haven't seen Uncle for a long time, so I ask the two uncles to tell you about Uncle's taboos."

Zhang Mi smiled and said, "If you don't know him, you don't know him. Why do you say it sounds so nice?"

Zhang Xiu giggled, but he didn't know him.

Zhang Yan doesn't have many children, except for Zhang Miao (23 years old) who is a concubine and Zhang Zong (17 years old) who is a concubine. There are quite a few daughters, but unfortunately they are all concubines. Now there are only four who are still at home. Girl Zhang Wanru (13 years old) and fifth girl Zhang Miaoru ([-] years old).

There are also the first wife Sun, the concubine Feng's Chen family, the big Yang family and the young Yang family, and the now detached concubine Hua's Mei Niang, and the rest of the house are not included.

Zhang Xiu's head was overwhelmed.

Zhang Mi said with a smile: "Except for the sister-in-law, no one cares about her, but that Hua Mei Niang is quite seductive, she would rather avoid it than provoke her."

Zhang Xiu smiled wryly, "Does Uncle Six think I can escape?"

Zhang Yan laughed out loud.

The three of them talked for a while, and Zhang Xiu went out after checking the time. Li Linyi, the head housekeeper, followed out in person worried.

Zhang Xiu originally thought that his father could be regarded as a member of the party, and he would be considered promising among the Zhang family brothers. Bullying, it's only fools who are embarrassed face to face.

But this happened to Zhang Xiu.

As soon as Zhang Xiu arrived home yesterday, he sent people to Uncle Anning’s mansion to hand over invitations. In fact, there are very few brothers who formally hand over invitations. I would rather let people say that he can't do things, and I don't want to procrastinate.

It turned out that I just handed over the post at the gate of Uncle Anning's mansion today. The concierge looked back and forth several times, and Li Linyi stuffed some money before he was willing to report, so he just left a sentence to wait.

Uncle Anning's mansion has the title of earl, barely counted among dukes. There are three gate houses and five frames (side doors on both sides of the main entrance in the middle, and the corner gate is farther from the main entrance). It is majestic and majestic, but this alley is full of princes' homes, so it doesn't show it when they are put together.

Zhang Xiu waited for a long time for the person who reported the letter to finally come out, but he took a breath and told the grandmas that they were waiting in Yifang Pavilion, and asked Zhang Xiu to go in quickly through the left corner door and don't let the grandmas wait in a hurry.

Zhang Xiu laughed angrily on the spot.

He didn't have much research on architecture, and at least he had been in ancient times for seven or eight years. Of course, he knew that the front doors of high-ranking people generally didn't open. The family members used the side doors, and the so-called corner doors were used by servants.

The head of the co-author of this mansion regards him as the one who beats the autumn wind?What's more, even if Zhang Xiu has never been here, he has heard that the main hall of Yongningbo is not called Yifang Pavilion, but the main hall is called Qing'an Hall. The so-called Yifang Pavilion is just a small house in the garden. Refers to Hua Mei Niang) for rest and fun.

This is playing him for fun.

Zhang Xiu didn't know that Zhang Yan's concubine had ordered someone to invite him to come, but the servant didn't listen to her order. During this time, Aunt Hua was in a bad mood, and she would do everything Sun ordered.

If Zhang Xiu came a few days later, Hua Mei Niang would not be so embarrassing to him, at least for the sake of the good gifts from Zhang Qianyi's house, he could only blame Zhang Xiu for his bad luck.

Zhang Xiu sneered in his heart, but his smile became more warm: "Dare to ask this brother, is this ordered by my aunt or who ordered it?" He said and handed a golden bean up.

The concierge casually stuffed the golden beans into the sleeve and said, "Of course it's Aunt Hua, now even my wife has to listen to Aunt Hua."

Zhang Xiu took out another ingot of five taels of silver ingot, and this time he handed it out openly: "Thank you, brother, this ingot will be given to the two brothers to drink tea."

The two porters smiled happily, and immediately went to the side to share the spoils.

Zhang Xiu stood still indifferently, and Li Linyi was furious. Before he came to the capital, he was popularized by the housekeeper Zheng Da. He was quick-witted and sincere, and he remembered it firmly. Let's go, this Anningbo mansion is still the Earl's mansion, it is extremely rude to bully the children of the brother's family like this.

Although Mingyan was also angry, he knew that Zhang Xiu had always had his own ideas. After following Zhang Xiu for a long time, he could still think about it. Stand up straight.

Seven or eight masters and servants of Mr. Zhang Wu's family just stood motionless at the gate of Uncle Anning's mansion.

The concierge originally thought that Zhang Xiu was a child with a wink, and he was not a bold one, but he didn't expect him to stand still, and he was calm at first, but he couldn't hold on after a while.

Although the concierge was very respectful, he also knew that he couldn't lose the face of Uncle Anning's mansion. Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't leave, he became anxious: "Hey, let me tell you, why are you still here?"

Zhang Xiu smiled shyly: "I'm waiting for uncle to come back."

The concierge said: "The master is not at home, you should go in quickly."

Zhang Xiu smiled shyly again: "Auntie hasn't spoken yet, I can't enter until the door is opened."

The porter was in a hurry, so he stretched out his hand to push Zhang Xiu: "Didn't Aunt Hua tell you to go through the door over there? Hurry up and walk around."

Zhang Xiu turned sideways and said: "My father told me to meet my uncle to talk to my aunt. I'll wait for my uncle to come back. Don't worry, brother, I will come in with my uncle when my uncle comes back, and I promise not to hinder your business. "

Cough cough, Xiao Xiuxiu will suffer a bit.

Of course the main line remains the same.
