Chapter 148 Who wants to replace it
Song Hu's grandfather Song Chaoyong was a veteran general in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Song Hu's father Song Sheng joined the army at a young age and successively inherited his brother and father's military posts. He became a general. He has been in charge of Liangzhou for more than 20 years. He was granted the title of Marquis of Xining for his merits and his descendants.
Song Sheng's eldest son was the commander of the right guard of the prefecture during the reign of Emperor Jianwen. He died in battle while resisting the "Jingnan Army", and was disgusted by the current emperor.
At that time, everyone thought that Song Sheng would be implicated and seized the title by his son, and the Song family would be questioned, but today, the emperor successively defeated the third princess An Cheng, the legitimate princess of Empress Xu, and the fourth princess Xianning, to Song Sheng's second son Song Hu and the sixth son Song Ying. At that time, people were called the "Song family's eldest son-in-law". Song Sheng still had a deep imperial grace and continued to guard Xiliang.
In the fifth year of Yongle, Song Sheng, the first Marquis of Xining, died of illness. Song Hu inherited the title of Marquis of Xining, and replaced his father to continue to guard Liangzhou. It was not until the tenth year of Yongle that Song Hu returned to Beijing and sacrificed his filial piety as a royal relative to this day.
After the founding fathers, two sons-in-laws in one family. Such a family actually plotted against the Du family behind their backs?
Not only was Gui Chongyang surprised, but Gui Wu, who found out the news, also found it strange.
Even if Duli has eighteen acres of land that can attract people's attention and concern, it is not considered a giant like the Song family.
Whether such a family is thinking about the Du family's fields or planning to do something else, how can they use such troubles?
Gui Chongyang was not happy and worried: "Uncle Wu, what's going on with the Du family? It sounds so silly. Let's live a good life. Wouldn't it be unfair if we harm the fish in the pond?"
Gui Wu has been puzzled yesterday, but said: "It may not be a bad thing to have this happen. Did Du Zhong reveal his hands?"
Gui Chongyang said: "This is the same reason, but Uncle Wu is more careful these days. We would rather watch from the wall than join in."
No matter how strong Du Zhong's trump card is, no matter how they fight, they are not able to join the Gui family in the fight.
Gui Wu nodded and said, "I am still busy preparing for the exam and will not provoke the Du family. Don't worry too much. Du Zhong has been doing things over the years, except for the time he just became a clerk and 'killing the chicken and scaring the monkey', and he is always low-key and tolerant at other times and will not cause any big trouble."
Gui Chongyang was originally worried that Du Li was angry about the autumn tax. Now that he knew that he was facing greater trouble, he would not stare at Gui Wu, so he naturally felt relieved.
While the uncle and nephew talked, they went to the pharmacy.
There was an old doctor in the hall, so Gui Wu asked the old doctor to take the pulse for Gui Chongyang, and added one or two to the previous prescription, and then he took ten doses of decoctions that moistened the lungs and replenished qi.
When his uncle and nephew arrived at Guiwu's house, Jiang had already asked someone to prepare lunch. He asked someone to buy elbows and smoked chicken, and stir-fry two more dishes of vegetarian dishes. He heard that Gui Chongyang had caused autumn cough, Jiang ordered the kitchen to stew lily soup.
Lily happens to be the "two-headed king" lily, a specialty of Liangzhou, and is very sweet.
Gui Chongyang often ate it when he was in Nanjing, but now he eats it all at once. He glanced at Gui Wu and lowered his eyes.
Such lilies are transported to Tongzhou from afar, and the price is not cheap.
My own money is left by my biological mother's dowry and "dad". Where did Uncle Wu's money come from? With Gui Wu's character, even if he has been in charge of the teahouse for many years, he will not be greedy for money from there. The way the money comes from is curious.
However, the uncle and nephew talked, and they were both in line with each other. Gui Wu did not explore the life of Gui Chongyang and his son in Nanjing before, and Gui Chongyang had never asked about Gui Wu's silver coins.
After lunch, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba took a big bag and left Gui Wu's house, got into the carriage that Gui Wu asked someone to hire, and returned to Mujia Village.
When Mei saw the two of them coming back safely, she felt relieved and hurriedly asked the doctor what he said.
Gui Chongyang picked up the good and said a few words, and handed over the tonic.
Mei heard Gui Chongyang's cough and said, "Tomorrow, I'll call you Brother Chun to come and clear the smoke duct. Let's burn the fire wall as soon as possible."
In the winter, houses in Tongzhou have to be warmed by fire walls. Just like wearing cotton coats, lighting will last for a long time, and it is the first day of October.
"Covering spring and freezing in autumn" is the way to maintain health, but Mei thinks that it is better not to be too rigid and let Gui Chongyang Bai suffer.
Gui Chongyang is afraid of the cold, so naturally there is no objection.
Because many of the big and small bags that Jiang prepared for the second house, Gui Chongyang took dinner and brought Mei Xiaoba to deliver things to the second house.
As soon as the two entered the yard, they heard a voice from the upper room: "Uncle, both are from Gui's family, how can a foreigner lie on his head? I knew that the court had exempted the autumn tax, but I still tormented everyone for what? What was we paying good food, but we got it back with rice bran. There was no one who bullied people like this again!"
Another person said, "Yes, uncle, you can't just forget it. Who knows how to bully people next time? If the court hadn't reduced the agricultural tax this year, Xiao Chongyang would have put a tax-owed bill on Xiao Chongyang! What exactly do the Du family want to do? This is a calculation for our Gui family again and again!"
Gui Chongyang stood under the eaves, sneering in his heart.
There are no ones who can call Grandpa Gui Er like this except for the "Donggui" middle-aged people.
The day before yesterday, the villagers robbed the food in the village ancestral hall. "Donggui" lived far away and had poor popularity in the village, so no one told them, and finally got the news, but it was one step too late.
Not only did they not retrieve enough food, but half of the food they took back was rice bran.
"Donggui" has a large population and requires a lot of food. Or the grain produced in this area is icing on the cake for other people's families, and for "Donggui", it is a question of whether they can have enough food, which is naturally a big deal.
How can "Donggui" suffer losses?
There were many male men in the family, and more than a dozen people were caught with a greeting. They wanted to go to the Du family to reason early yesterday morning.
Before we arrived at the door of the Du family, we saw the Du family's carriage coming out.
The people of "Donggui" were about to step forward to block people, but they saw more than ten healthy servants coming out from behind, all of whom were leading horses.
As soon as everyone hesitated, the people got on the horse and roared away in the Du carriage.
"Donggui" everyone looks at me, I look at you, I'm so scared.
But that is food, not someone else's, but it was originally own, and it was half as low as this. Who would be happy?
After thinking about it for a day, "Donggui" did not dare to challenge Du Lizheng directly, and then he remembered the fact that Gui Wu, who opened a shop in the town. The iron monk showed up to cover Gui Wu. When other villagers heard about it, it naturally spread to "Donggui"'s ears.
Look, two tribe members came today and came to search for Grandpa Gui Er for help.
The second room had just used food, and Yang was washing dishes in the kitchen.
When Gui Chongyang saw this, he did not go into the room directly, but went to the kitchen.
"Dragon is here? Sit in the house and look at your second grandpa. People in the east can speak, don't let them fool people!" Yang was surprised when he saw Gui Chongyang and said directly.
Look at it like that, guard against "Donggui" like a snake or a scorpion.
Gui Chongyang handed over the package in his hand and said, "My nephew went to the town for medicine at noon and went to Uncle Wu's house to eat it at noon. This is what Aunt Wu asked him to bring back."
Yang did not rush to pick up the package, immediately wiped his hand, pulled Gui Chongyang, took a look, and said, "Have you changed into thick clothes? Is this a cold? What do doctors say?"
"It's just that some autumn cough is an old problem, it's not a problem." Gui Chongyang said hurriedly.
"I dare not underestimate these problems. I have prescribed medicine? I can't delay it. It's a pulmonary tuberculosis!" Yang said worriedly.
"Bao, babe, babe, babe! You don't have the means to curse your child like this. Don't say it if you can't speak!" Grandma Gui happened to come over and heard this and quickly scolded her.
Yang immediately followed "Pi Pao Pao Pao" and said, "I am confused. I just took back this sentence and pretended that I had never said it!"
Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba hurriedly greeted Grandma Gui Second Grandma. Grandma Gui looked at Gui Chongsheng's cotton clothes and frowned and said, "It's mid-September, why did your aunt change you into cotton clothes? It's still hot at noon!"
The old lady said, and sighed in her heart. After all, she had never given birth to a child and could not take care of her. Now she put on cotton clothes, which would only make her children more and more afraid of the cold. When it was winter, she would also be afraid of the cold when wearing thick cotton clothes.
Gui Chongyang said: "My grandson lived in the south before, and was a little uncomfortable with Qiuhan in the north, so he told his aunt to add clothes."
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't say anything about Mei's family.
Gui Chongyang talked about going to Xiji Town to get medicine again. Grandma Gui nodded, let alone dressing.
This is an old illness. Can you stop other people's children from adding clothes?
However, looking at the big bag and the small bag, Grandma Gui still angrily said, "I really can't live. I just got the things back a few days ago. It's only been a few days!"
Most of the food they brought were food, including bacon, sausage, dessert, lotus root powder and other items. While tidying up, Yang hung up and pretended to behave, and said to Grandma Gui with a smile: "Where can you find such a filial daughter-in-law? Mom, just wait and enjoy your happiness!"
Grandma Gui Er was nagging in her mouth, but she was not without pride.
There are many ups and downs in this life, but my two daughters-in-law really have no choice in filial piety.
Yang urged Gui Chongyang to go to the house again, and Gui Chongyang asked to take Mei Xiaoba there.
In the east room, Grandpa Gui Er sat by the kang, with his face hanging down and not speaking.
There was a man sitting opposite the kang table, in his forties, wearing a long gown; there was a young man sitting on the stool next to him, in his twenty years old.
Both of them are grandsons of the old man "Donggui". The eldest son of the eldest grandson of the eldest son of Guida, who was the youngest son of Grandma Gui Si who had been to the second wife before.
Seeing that Gui Chongyang brought Mei Xiaoba in, both of them smiled.
Guida touched her beard and held the clan's uncle's airs and said, "I heard that my nephew of Chongyang is waiting for school homework. Even Mei Tongsheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed. There is a successor to the eldest son!"
Gui Chongyang didn't say anything. Who knew who this was? He just filled it with big cloves of garlic.
