Poor Family

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the officials began to have a holiday, but the Bing Ma Si, who was in charge of public security in the capital, was the busiest at this time. Shi Zhengmao and the others all had a rest, and Shi Zhenghe was still patrolling the streets.

Shi Zhenghe, as a newcomer to Bingmasi, was assigned by his superiors to be on duty during the New Year's Eve, and it was his turn to rest until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Regarding this, although Shi Zhenghe regretted not being able to accompany his family, he accepted it calmly, but the rest of the Shi family had a lot of opinions.

"The fourth brother's job is tiring and hard, and he's not high-ranked. He's not willing to let him resign. Now that the whole family is together, and he's not here, isn't that making father and mother upset?"

Mrs. Shi lowered her head to help Shi Zhengmao put on her clothes, without saying a word.

Shi Zhengmao: "Forget it, leave him alone. During the Chinese New Year, Zhengkun's family will definitely come over for dinner. It's better to avoid it. If there is something unpleasant during the Chinese New Year, it will be bad."

Saying that, he glanced at the sky outside the window: "Zhengkun's family is coming soon, let's go to mother's side."

After moving out of the Bo's mansion, Shi Zhengkun was busy with errands, and also a little embarrassed to see Shi Zhenghe, so he didn't have much time to come to the Bo's mansion.

Now that it's the annual holiday, knowing that Shi Zhenghe is not at home, he will bring his wife and children to the uncle's house for dinner every day.

As the saying goes, the fragrance is far away and the smell is near, Shi Zhengkun's family moved out of the Bo's house and they rarely meet each other. In addition, after Shi Zheng and his family came back, many things happened, which more or less affected the house, which made the rest of the Shi family He became closer to Shi Zhengkun's family than before.

In Yixiang Hall, Shi Fuxin was sitting on the brocade next to Jin Yue'e, looking at the people in the room who were intimately mingling together, even though she didn't have any affection for Shi's family in her heart, she still felt tired and glaring.

For whom? !

Seeing the forced smile on her mother's face, Shi Fuxin tilted her head and fell directly into her arms: "Mother, I'm dizzy, please accompany me back home."

This movement was not small, and it directly led to a brief silence in the room.

Jin Yue'e supported the 'weak and powerless' Shi Fuxin, and looked at Mrs. Shi apologetically: "Mother, sister Xin is feeling a little uncomfortable, I will take her back to the room to rest first."

Mrs. Shi showed worry on her face: "Do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?"

Jin Yuee shook her head: "No need, just rest and rest."

Mrs. Shi nodded her head: "Then quickly take Miss Xin to rest."

With the consent of the old lady, Jin Yue'e and Shi Fuyin helped Shi Fuxin to leave.

Seeing the back of the mother and daughter leaving, Zeng Yuwei lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes.

So what if they moved out of the uncle's house, as soon as they came back, that family would have to retreat.

Once out of Yixiang Hall, Shi Fuxin came back to life: "The room is full of smog, it almost suffocated me just now."

Jin Yue'e turned her head and glanced at the woman standing outside the gate of Yixiangtang, then cast a helpless glance at Shi Fuxin, and forcibly pulled her to lean against her body: "You are dizzy right now."

The corners of Shi Fuxin's mouth twitched, and she looked at Jin Yue'e eagerly: "Mother, I don't feel dizzy anymore."

Jin Yue'e: "No, you're fainting, sister Yin, come over and help your sister, so that she doesn't fall down."

Shi Fuyin secretly smiled, and Jin Yuee and Jin Yuee forcibly supported Shi Fuxin back to Yigui Courtyard.

Shi Fuxin fainted until New Year's Eve.

If Jin Yue'e hadn't forcibly dragged her out of Yigui Courtyard, she would have been in a coma forever.

"Your father is still on errand. When you go to pay New Year's greetings to the old man and old lady later, you should kowtow for your father a few more times."

"Also, don't worry about the attitudes of other people in the mansion, let's just take care of ourselves."

Jin Yue'e kept instructing Shi Fuxin's four brothers and sisters all the way.

Soon, Yixiangtang arrived.

According to the rules of the Bo Mansion, ancestor worship will be held on New Year's Eve. When the five mothers and children arrive, the rest of the Bo Mansion including Shi Zhengkun's family will arrive.

"Let's go, everyone is here."

Led by Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, the family went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

After the ancestor worship was over, they returned to Yixiang Hall, and everyone began to kowtow to Old Master Shi and Mrs. Shi to pay New Year's greetings.

The two old people smiled and gave the lucky money they had prepared to everyone.

During the period, Jin Yue'e saw that her and Shi Zhenghe's red seals were larger and thicker than others', and looked at Mrs. Shi in surprise.

Mrs. Shi smiled and said: "Your elder brother and they all have them, and this one is for you and Zhenghe."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look over.

Shi Zhengmao and Shi Zhengye looked at the red seal and guessed that it might be a farm and a shop, but their expressions didn't change much.

Shi Zhengde and his wife glanced at their lips slightly.

When the son of the Shi family got married, he would be allocated some property, some of which came from his business, and some of it was added by Mrs. Shi with a dowry.

The old lady's dowry is naturally reserved for her own son. As for the concubine, just add two decent things to keep people from talking about it.

When Shi Zhengde got married, he only got a few decorations.

Shi Fuxin was a little curious, and when she returned to Yigui Courtyard, she urged Jin Yuee to open it.

Inside the red envelope were the deeds of two farms and the deeds of six shops.

"This shot is too generous."

Two farms, one with 500 mu and the other with 200 mu, are built on a bamboo mountain and a peach mountain, located in the suburbs of Beijing; all six shops are in the inner city.

Shi Fuxin had specifically inquired about the prices in the capital, and it cost at least several thousand taels of silver to buy a shop of 100 square meters in the inner city.

The six shops cost two to thirty thousand taels of silver, and there is no market for it.

As for the farm, it is not easy for them to buy some contiguous fields in Rongcheng, let alone in the capital.

Jin Yue'e was a little tongue-tied, feeling that the land deeds and house deeds in her hands were a bit hot: "This is too much."

Shi Fuxin said: "Since grandma gave it to everyone in front of everyone, I think these uncles, fourth uncles, and seventh uncles all have them, so you can take them with peace of mind, mother."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and called Zhang's mother in.

"Mother Zhang, when Uncle and the others got married, did the mansion give them property?"

Zhang's mother smiled and nodded: "According to the rules of the uncle's house, after the male heirs get married, they will be allocated a farm and two shops."

Hearing this, Jin Yue'e was stunned: "Why do we have so many more?"

Shi Fuxin thought for a while and said, "Grandma didn't tell me, there is still your mother's share in it. When the uncle and the others got married, they must have given the bride price to the uncle and the others."

Jin Yue'e: "...I don't need so much dowry."

Shi Fuxin had a face of disapproval: "Mother, you are the best. It was father who cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes before marrying home. What is this dowry gift?"

Jin Yue'e was made to smile and glanced at her little daughter.

Shi Fuxin continued: "It is estimated that there is also compensation for father. Whether it is uncle, uncle, or that one, their current errands are all facilitated by the uncle's relationship."

"Even Uncle Wu also takes care of the general affairs of the uncle's mansion."

"Only our father, who didn't enjoy anything."

Hearing these words, Jin Yuee's thought that she deserved to be ashamed disappeared immediately.

These are what the husband deserves.

After a moment of silence, Jin Yue'e looked at the four children: "The mansion has given us these properties, which shows that we still value your father. In the future, we should get along well with other people in the mansion."

This time, Shi Fuxin didn't say anything to refute.

Thirty to forty thousand taels of silver fell down, and the weight is still very heavy.

Soon, at night, Shi Zheng and Ye Xiaya came back, and had a reunion dinner with Shi's family.

Both Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao belong to the kind of people who can make others happy when they are happy. The family got a fortune, and both of them were very happy. When they were at the dinner table, the atmosphere was quickly enlivened by the two .

Funny jokes and witty words kept coming out of the two people's mouths, even Shi Fulin, who was dissatisfied with Shi Fuxin, was amused to laugh out loud.

In the dining room, the children's laughter sounded from time to time.

The adults were also affected by the joyful atmosphere, and the embarrassment caused by Shi Zhenghe and Shi Zhengkun sitting at the same table was relieved a lot.

If the atmosphere continues to be this happy, this year's New Year's Eve will be considered complete.

However, accidents always come suddenly.

After everyone had eaten, when they left the table and were about to go back to the hall, Shi Zhengkun, who hadn't spoken to Shi Zhenghe all this time, walked up to Shi Zhenghe's side abruptly.

Shi Zhenghe was a little surprised that Shi Zhengkun would take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't want to make any trouble when it was Chinese New Year's Eve, but responded in a neither far nor near, lukewarm way.

Seeing the two walking side by side, everyone was a little surprised, but Shi's family looked forward to the peaceful coexistence of the two, and seeing Shi Zhengkun take the initiative to ease the relationship, they all looked relieved.

After a few polite words, Shi Zhengkun suddenly asked the Li family: "When you were at the border, was the Chinese New Year so lively?"

Shi Zhenghe paused, and looked at Shi Zhengkun indifferently: "What do you want to say?"

Shi Zhengkun: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know if they are doing well?"

Shi Zhenghe looked at Shi Zhengkun coldly, walked away without saying a word.

"Don't be angry, if you don't want to say it, I just don't ask, everyone is watching us." Shi Zhengkun stretched out his hand and pulled Shi Zhenghe's arm.

Shi Zhenghe didn't want to tug at him, so he raised his hand and flicked it back slightly, trying to break free from Shi Zhengkun's hand.

Unexpectedly, with a flick of his arm, Shi Zhengkun slipped and fell to the ground.

"Master!"

"Fourth brother, what are you doing?"

When Shi Zhengkun fell to the ground suddenly, everyone was shocked.

Zeng Yuwei and Shi Fuzhi ran towards Shi Zhengkun anxiously.

Shi Zhengmao walked towards Shi Zhenghe with anger in his eyes: "Fourth brother, how can you do anything to Zhengkun when it's Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Shi Zhenghe didn't answer, just looked at Shi Zhengkun who was helped up by Zeng Yuwei and others: "I didn't expect you to be so weak."

Said, with a sarcastic smile.

"She has taken great pains to treat you. If you have a body like yours, if you become a military household, you will probably have to wait to die once you go to the battlefield."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Seeing the contempt in Shi Zhenghe's eyes, Shi Zhengkun's hands hanging by his side suddenly clenched into fists.

What right does he have to look down on himself!

He is a dignified scholar of the Hanlin Academy, but he is just a low-level patrol officer!

He is inferior to him in knowledge and status, so what right does he have to look down on himself?

Zeng Yuwei was also trembling with anger, and looked at Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi with red eyes: "Father, mother, look at him, it's Chinese New Year, he still doesn't give up after falling, and he even curses him to die."

"Wouldn't it be nice for An Sheng to be a little bit, why do you have to find it so hard!"

Before Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi could say anything, Shi Fuxin walked up to Shi Zhengkun's family with a sneer, and her eyes fell on Shi Zhengkun.

"The wrong hug back then was not your fault. Our two families can do well, but why do you insist on jumping out to find trouble?"

"If you are so filial, go back to the northwest border. Once you go back, you will know how your biological parents are doing well? Why do you want to disgust my father?"

"My father was sent to the guard by the Li family when he was thirteen years old. He served your biological father for more than 20 years in military service. That's not counting. Your biological mother has been treating and oppressing my father all the time. How dare you run away?" Come and ask him, how are your real parents doing?"

"Let me tell you, before my father knew his background, they lived a very good life, but their good life was bought with my father's blood and sweat."

As he spoke, he sneered and looked at Shi Zhengkun's family.

"Today is our family's first New Year's Eve when we go back to the uncle's house. You pop out to ask about the Li family at this time. What are you worried about?"

"My dad just waved his arms and you can't stand? You're really weak and can't take care of yourself!"

"Pretending to be weak and pitiful is what women do. As for men, they still need a backbone, otherwise they will be looked down upon."

Hearing these words, everyone in the Shi family had different expressions.

As for Shi Zhengkun, his face turned pale with anger after being scolded so much in public.

Of course Zeng Yuwei would not do anything while watching her husband being insulted, just when she was about to reprimand Shi Fuxin, Shi Fuxin pointed the contradiction at Shi Zhengmao.

"Uncle, my father respects you as an elder brother and is courteous in everything, but you can't bully him either. You can't judge whoever is weak just because you are weak, and condemn my father indiscriminately as soon as you come up."

"Which eye of yours saw him attack your dear brother? Didn't your dear brother take the initiative to join my father?"

"Based on your ability to pull off the director, no wonder."

"Cough cough cough~"

"Cough cough cough~"

Jin Yuee's violent cough interrupted Shi Fuxin's words.

"Sister Xin, mother is choking, come quickly and help mother back to rest with me." Shi Fuyin shouted anxiously to Shi Fuxin while supporting Jin Yue'e.

Shi Fuxin was a little speechless, brother and Jiulang were beside her, why didn't she ask them to help her?

But seeing her mother coughing so hard that her face turned red, Shi Fuxin glanced at her in a daze. Shi Zhengmao, who seemed to have not recovered, reluctantly went back to Jin Yuee's side.

Jin Yue'e continued to cough, and looked at Mrs. Shi apologetically.

Mrs. Shi hurriedly said: "Go back and rest."

Jin Yue'e hurriedly coughed, while tightly tugging on Shi Fuxin's wrist and left.

When the mother and son left, Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Zhengkun: "Did you fall?"

Shi Zhengkun quickly explained: "Mom, I was wrong just now. I didn't stand firm and my feet slipped. It has nothing to do with Zhenghe."

Mrs. Shi nodded, and looked at Zeng Yuwei: "Zhengkun probably fell hard, so he doesn't have to stay in the mansion to watch the new year tonight, go back quickly, and give Zhengkun some medicine."

Hearing this, Shi Zhengkun's face was shocked.

Mother thinks he fell on purpose just now? To make everyone unhappy on purpose?

No, it was only because he saw his father, mother, and grandchildren full of joy and happiness that he couldn't help but think of his own parents at the frontier gate, so he wanted to inquire about them.

He really just wanted to know their situation, and he never thought that Shi Zhenghe's reaction would be so big!

Even if the Li family didn't treat him very well, they were the ones who raised him, how could he be so indifferent?

Before Shi Zhengkun could explain anything, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi turned around and entered the room.

Seeing this, it was difficult for others to say anything.

When Shi Zhengkun's family left, Shi Zhengmao and others entered the hall to watch the new year.

Compared with the joy and bustle at the dinner table before, the hall at this time was a bit too quiet.

"Sister Xin, that girl. Mother, you have to teach her the rules, she dares to criticize me." Shi Zhengmao was the first to break the silence.

He still hasn't come to his senses until now, he is an uncle, that little girl dared to scold him in public, she is too courageous.

Mrs. Shi glanced at her eldest son: "Did she say something wrong?"

Shi Zhengmao: "."
