Fight the Giants Chapter 592

Chapter 592 The British Government

The futon was placed in front of Mrs. Wu, and everyone looked at it.

Wu's expression was haughty, she glanced at Huo Xi and Huo Nian, and waited for the two scoundrels to salute her.

Huo Xi ignored her.

Looking around, Mrs. Tai and Zhang Fu were sitting in the first row, and the left and right back rows were full of people.

"What, we don't even have a place to sit?"

Zhang Fu saw that there was indeed no room, and the hall was full. He glanced at Zhang Xie, and Zhang Xie hurriedly said: "Young one, let's go get ready."

"Sister, come sit with me." Zhang Bin of the second room pulled his younger brother Zhang Xuan to get up.

Zhang Bin is thirteen years old this year, the eldest son of the second bedroom, and also ranks first among the ten male grandchildren of the third bedroom. When Huo Xi was still in the mansion, he often followed his tail.

Huo Xi smiled at him, pulling Nian'er to walk over.

"Stop!"

Zhang Xie stood up and pointed to the futon on the ground: "You haven't saluted my mother yet! Sure enough, you are from outside, and you don't know the rules!"

Huo Xi looked back at him, and then looked at Wu Shi next to him, taking it for granted.

The corner of his mouth smiled sarcastically: "Your mother is only a concubine, and she is worthy of our siblings to salute her!"

Zhang Jie jumped: "What nonsense are you talking about! My mother is the wife of the Duke, how can she be a concubine!"

"Your mother entered Zhang's mansion with a bundle, and then climbed onto the master's bed. Many people in the mansion know about it!"

"You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! My mother has been righted!"

Although Zhang Jie is young, he already understands a lot. Hearing others question her mother is questioning his identity. I can't bear it!

Everyone in the room had different expressions, and they all looked at Mrs. Wu.

There are those who look calmly, and those who glance quietly. Seeing her gnashing her teeth and holding back, with a cannibalistic appearance, the juniors hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at her anymore, but their ears were perked up.

How do the juniors know such an inside story. After watching Mrs. Wu, they turned their eyes to this elder sister again, in amazement.

Zhang Fu's face was a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Tai's face wrinkled.

"You, a junior, are talking nonsense! Mrs. Wu is now the Duke's wife, and you two, siblings, should have saluted her and fulfilled your duties as children."

"The duty of being a child? Who is she as our sibling? Mrs. Guogong? Did you send a letter of appointment in the yamen? Did my grandfather and uncle agree? Did Dingxing kowtow to my mother?"

Everyone was stunned. Mrs. Tai and Wu were also stunned.

Since the Sui Dynasty, marriage between a man and a woman needs to go to the Yamen for the record, and then register in the household book to show their identity. Of course, this kind of marriage registration is incomparable with the strict set of laws of later generations.

After all, dynasties changed, and the emperor often changed seats. It is not as convincing as the genealogy of some centuries-old families.

Many big families just make a note on the genealogy.

Of course taking a wife is very different from taking a concubine.

To marry a wife, you need to be married, and you have to perform six rituals. As long as you have a household record, you almost have to go to the government office to file for the record, but no one cares about things like taking concubines.

Like the Wu family, who first entered the mansion and had a concubine whose identity was not known, most of them only respected their ancestors in their own clan, and registered one or two in the genealogy.

No one outside will go to the yamen to check your household account book to check these things.

But Mu Yan went to search. It is said that there is no Wu family's righting document.

Wu's eyes were cold at this time, looking at Huo Xi as if poisoned.

"You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!" Zhang Xie jumped.

Huo Xi ignored him, and looked at Wu Shi with the same cold eyes, and stared directly at her: "You didn't think that was the case when you poisoned my mother, did you?"

Boom. It's like hearing some great news.

Everyone in the room looked at Mrs. Wu again. can't believe it.

Inside the long sleeves, Wu's fists were clenched tightly. I didn't expect this evil **** to say such a thing face to face. I can't wait to beat these two evil species in front of me hundreds of times and thousands of times.

"I poisoned your mother? Who saw it? Who can testify? You?" Wu quickly calmed down.

Nurse Sun is afraid that she will die completely, and there is only one wife left. Does she dare to testify?

She herself ordered the poisoning of her daughter-in-law, how dare she testify? Mrs. Wu glanced lightly at Mrs. Tai, she cherished her feathers the most. Mouth sarcasm.

"Mr. Wu, people are doing it, but heaven is watching." Did she think that the witnesses were all dead?

"God saw that I poisoned your mother? Why didn't you ask him to come down to testify for your mother?"

Huo Xi looked at her coldly. I feel that Mrs. Wu is a little careless. Is he holding back his big move or has another plan?

The atmosphere in the room was tense, and no one dared to breathe.

Is this young lady who came back from outside so stupid? Zhang Fu stared blankly at this eldest niece, is this the obedient, soft and soft niece from when she was a child?

Also, Wu Shi poisoned the first sister-in-law?

This is real?

Sister Ning's swearing doesn't look like a fake. No wonder the two children dare not go home.

Zhang Fu glanced at Wu Shi and Zhang Jie, and remained silent.

"Okay, this is a confession, not a meeting of enemies." Mrs. Tai said, feeling very headache. Neither are fuel-efficient lights.

Wu Shi is even more pretending now.

Another glance at Huo Xi, if you don't kneel, then don't kneel, but as soon as you come back, there is such a big commotion, Madam Tai is a little displeased. It seems that the siblings might not be able to get along well with Wu Shi and Zhang Jie.

"Since people don't recognize us, there's no need for us, my wife, to sit here." Mrs. Wu got up, pulled Zhang Xie and walked away.

Everyone was a little surprised. And Zhang Fu stared at her back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Yu glanced at his eldest brother, saw him lost in thought, and smiled to complete the situation: "Come on, sister Ning, and Nian'er, let me introduce you to my family. You have many brothers and sisters, so you should kiss each other well in the future." fragrant."

Mrs. Tai nodded to her second son with satisfaction.

The Hou family of the second room, Huo Xi still remembered, pulled Huo Nian to salute her.

Ms. Hou gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Her husband respected him. She lived comfortably with a faint smile on her face. She gave birth to the eldest young master Zhang Bin and the eighth young master Zhang Xuan, the fifth young lady Jing Wan and the seventh young lady Jing Xian.

Among Erfang's direct children, only Zhang Xuan was younger than Huo Nian, staring curiously at this cousin who grew up outside.

Huo Nian smiled at him, and he happily called cousin again.

Besides, there are two concubines in the second room, Zhang Chang and Zhang Jian, both of them are older than Nian'er, the concubine Jingshu is the eighth, a few months younger than Huo Nian, she timidly called her cousin cousin.

Let's look at Sanfang again.

The original mistress of the third house, Mrs. Liu, died of illness. Zhang Fu remarried another Mrs. Wu.

Little Wu is filling in the house, and when Huo Xi asked Wu whether she had given her mother morning and evening peace, and kowtowed to offer incense, she was a little displeased with Huo Xi.

If Mrs. Tai and the Duke of the State remember this, wouldn't she also want to give incense to the Liu family in front of her every day?

Seeing her pale face, Huo Xi didn't care.

She has no impression of this third aunt. When she left the mansion, Xiao Wu hadn't entered the mansion yet.

Little Wu has only one son named Zhang Qian, who is only six years old this year and is the youngest young master in the house.

Zhang Fu's original wife gave birth to the sixth young lady Zhang Qingchu and the sixth young master Zhang Yan. In addition, Sanfang also has a concubine Zhang Ruo, who ranks ninth.

Then comes Dafang.

Da Fang Wu took her son and left. The two concubines dare not leave.

Xiao Wang is the concubine of Wang's natal brother, and she is the most confident, but she only gave birth to two daughters, the third lady Bizhu and the fourth lady Biyue.

Without a son, the confidence is naturally weaker.

Another concubine, the Liu family, was given by Zhang Fu in the north, and his colleagues gave birth to only the ninth lady, Bi Ke, who is eight years old this year.

The two concubines of Dafang, the noble concubine Wang, belong to Mrs. Tai's natal family, and Wu dare not control her. As for the good concubine Liu Shi, someone else gave it to Zhang Fu, so Wu Shi has no reason to want to take advantage of her.

The Liu family also gave birth to a young lady, but no sons. And the Duke didn't seem to favor anyone.

So although the wife and concubine of the big house looked down on each other, they got along by accident.

Anyway, each has his own way, and the water in the well does not violate the water in the river.

Dafang's only son, Zhang Mao, was born in the housekeeper Zhang Fu's servant, and Zhang Mao died after giving birth.

Eight-year-old Zhang Mao is two months older than the second-bedroom Zhang Xuan, but looks much younger than him. Thin and weak, looking like he would run away when the wind blows.

"Elder sister, brother." The voice was also thin and weak.

"Seventh brother." Huo Nian was afraid that his voice would be too loud, which would frighten him.

So, the people in the hall, including the aunts in each room, have also seen it once.

Seeing that everyone recognized her, Mrs. Tai said: "Since I have returned to the house, I will stop calling you by the name outside. Sister Ning will restore her previous name, Yuning, and Nian'er will be called Zhang Yuzhong, and she will be called by this name from now on. Ranking Up, Nian'er is the fifth young master, from Yan'er onwards."

The young masters all nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Tai is also tired, so she will send everyone away.

"Mother, you haven't said which courtyard Ning'er and Nian'er live in." Seeing that his mother was about to get up and leave, Zhang Fu hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Tai looked impatient, "You don't need to worry about it, your elder brother has already arranged the yard properly!" She looked dissatisfied.

Zhang Fu said to Huo Xi and his brother: "I will take you to see your yards for my father later, and change them if you are not satisfied. The mansion is huge, and there are several empty yards."

Madam Tai glanced at Zhang Fu, but said nothing.

The two courtyards that were picked, I don't know why Mrs. Wu didn't jump up.

Looking at Huo Xi, "I picked some people for you, you will take them back later, and I will serve you in the future."

Huo Xi thought for a while, then nodded.

Although her siblings brought many people back to the mansion, some servants who are familiar with the personnel affairs of the Duke's mansion are more convenient. It's just that the two nuns have to choose carefully for a while.

After the orders were given, Mrs. Tai was also tired, so she confessed a few words, and then she was helped out by the nanny.

Each room took the younger generation in its own room to go out.

Zhang Xuan ran to Huo Nian, "Cousin Wu, I'll go play with you in the future!"

Huo Nian is still in a daze, there are only his sister and An An in the family, and now there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters.

He didn't respond to others calling him fifth cousin, and he was confused about the ranking of other brothers.

Manfuli, ten young masters, in fact, the age difference is not big.

The eldest Zhang Bin is only thirteen years old, the third young master Zhang Jie is eleven years old, and the rest are about the same age as Huo Nian.

Erfang's two sons, Zhang Bin, are steady, but this Zhang Xuan looks lively.

Huo Nian was still in a daze, Huo Xi pulled Zhang Xuan and patted him on the head: "Okay, eldest sister and your fifth brother are not familiar with each other in the house, would you like to show us?"

"Okay, wrap it on me!"

Zhang Xuan looks strong, like a calf, and his body is like his father. With a big bag and a big bag, he slapped his chest loudly.

Pulling Huo Nian, he ran out: "Fifth brother, come with me. I know the yard that uncle picked for you. It's very close to uncle's yard. I'll take you there!"

Huo Xi and the others followed behind the two of them.

The yard Zhang Fu chose for Huo Nian was next to his yard.

One is for the safety of his son, and the other is to teach Nian'er martial arts by himself. The father and son have been separated for ten years, and now they happen to live closer to each other, so they can connect with each other.

Huo Nian is very satisfied with his yard. The yard is big and the scenery is good. It's also close to him. He pursed his lips and looked at Zhang Fu.

"As long as Nian'er likes it." Seeing that his son was satisfied, Zhang Fu was relieved, smiled and patted his son on the shoulder. He glanced at the servant who was next to him.

Nurse An took a look, and hurriedly led everyone to greet the Duke of the country, and introduced the people who would serve the Fifth Young Master in the future.

Zhang Fu was stunned when he heard that Nanny An was actually next to Mrs. Yan Tai of Qian State Duke's Mansion.

The government of Qian State sent not only a nanny, but also servants and maids. She glanced at Huo Xi in surprise.

Huo Xi didn't move his eyebrows or eyes, making Zhang Fu unable to see anything.

Zhang Fu thought to himself, does Mu Yan have a deep relationship with his daughter? Or is it the arrangement made by the Duke of Qian for the sake of Fu Ma's son?

He remained calm and gave a few words to the servants in the nursery, and that was all.

"Then Nanny An will take more care. Please look at the matter in my son's courtyard. Mrs. Tai will also send some people over. If there are any deficiencies, fill them in. Don't worry about it." error."

"Yes. Grandpa, please rest assured, the younger one will take care of the yard for the young master."

Zhang Fu glanced at the others again, chasing the wind, stepping on the moon, soaking in the rain and listening to the thunder. These four people obviously have a lot of background, and I don't know where his daughter hired them. They are capable and loyal to the two children.

Nodding in satisfaction, "From now on, you will be the first-level guard in the mansion, Yue Yin, who will only be responsible for guarding the two courtyards of the young lady and the fifth young master."

"yes."

After arranging the affairs in Huo Nian's courtyard, seeing that his son was satisfied, Zhang Fu had a sense of accomplishment, so he wanted to take his daughter to see her courtyard.

The nurse next to Mrs. Tai stood up, "Young lady, let's take the eldest lady to see."

Zhang Fu thought about it, all the women living in the backyard, and it was really inconvenient for him to go there, so he nodded.

"Then girl, go with Nanny Tong. If you are dissatisfied, tell your father. Father will send someone to do it."

Huo Xi nodded.

Huo Nian also wanted to follow, Huo Xi glanced at him, saw that in the room, Nanny An was leading the painting and others to decorate the room, and said to Zhang Xuan, "Xuan'er took Fifth Brother to visit Is the mansion okay?"

"Okay, brother five come with me!"

Zhufeng and Bao Kang also followed.

Huo Xi's yard is a bit far from Nian'er's. He is in the second courtyard, and Huo Xi has already entered the courtyard in the fifth.

On the east road of Wujinyuan, there is only one big courtyard and a small garden.

All the young ladies in this yard wanted it, and Mrs. Wu also wanted it for Baguio, but Mrs. Tai took a fancy to it and said she wanted to keep it.

Secretly, I feel that if the imperial concubine goes out of the palace, even if she can't stay overnight, she will be so happy knowing that her natal family will still reserve a yard for her.

is always empty.

Until Zhang Fu picked it up, this yard was the only one he was most satisfied with. The yard is big, has many rooms, and there is a kitchen, and it is next to the garden, with the best view.

Although Mrs. Tai was angry, there was nothing she could do. The imperial concubine is afraid that she will not be able to leave the palace.

When Mrs. Wu learned about it, she fell on her back in anger.

But now that Baguio has been sent to the East Palace, it is useless to fight for it. I had to keep it in my heart, and became more and more angry.

Huo Xi walked around the courtyard and was very satisfied. The most satisfying thing was that it was not far from the back door of the sixth courtyard, which made it more convenient for her to enter and exit. If this goes to the gate, I am afraid that my legs will be broken.

"Have someone make a plaque, and the yard is called Lanxiangyuan."

"yes."

"Let Vanilla and the others clean it up. Mammy, please help me see the people sent by Mrs. Tai, which ones can be used and which ones can't be used, and pick out some. Nian'er will also help to pick out, and people from all over the place will fill in. , the woman who guards the door, and the servants who are rough envoys fill in."

"Yes. The servant girl will go to help the young lady palm her eyes."
