Chapter 3340 Division One

  The Xia family sent someone to guard at the gate of the city. Seeing the emblem of the Bai family’s carriage, they immediately stepped forward to inquire, and then enthusiastically invited the people back to Hongtian Village.

   Zhou Man declined, thinking that it is the most convenient to live in the post in Shangzhou City, and go to Hongtian Village the next day.

  The contact with Shangzhou is mostly with Xia Rui's family, and Hongtian Village only has sporadic contact with the head of Xia, and the relationship is not deep. .

  The family stopped at the inn, and then sent someone to Xia Rui’s shop to inform.

  Xia Rui quickly brought her eldest son over, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you mention going to the house to deliver a letter? We can pick you up..."

   Zhou Man smiled and said, “It’s the same if we contact you when we arrive. I’ve talked to the patriarch about this matter.”

  Xia Rui rubbed her hands awkwardly, "You brought the baby this time?"

   Zhou Man responded with a smile, and let Wu Yue lead Wu Yuan over.

Wu Yuan looked like a mother at this time, with a round head and a round face. He threw away May's hand and stumbled over by himself. He plunged his head into his mother's arms, and then raised his blushing face to look at Xia Rui. .

  Xia Rui was delighted to see, "I really look like Sister Xin."

Bai Shan: ...the people of the Bai family saw him say that he looks like his father, and the people of the Zhou family saw him say he looks like the mother of Manbao. Now it’s okay. The Xia family saw him and said he looked like Like a little mother-in-law.

   Zhou Man held his little son’s face and looked, "Really?"

   "Really, your mother has a round face." Xia Rui stared at the child with piercing eyes and asked, "What is his nickname?"

   "Black circle."

   "This name has an image, good!"

   Zhou Man smiled slightly and said, "My name is Xia Mu."

  "This name is also nice," Xia Rui saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng, and quickly got up to salute, "Thank you for your family's fulfillment."

  Lao Mrs. Liu immediately reached out to stop him when he saw him, and smiled: “This is an agreement made with in-laws early in the morning. We are just keeping our word. We should not thank Master Xia so much.”

   Zhou Man said: "I'm back this time for the purpose of dividing the clan."

  Xia Rui was startled, "Are you going to divide your branch out?"

   Zhou Man nodded, "Yes, let's start from my grandfather's line. After all, Wu Yuan will not often be in Shangzhou in the future, so he can join the clan here."

Xia Rui groaned, "I'm afraid the clan will not easily agree."

   Zhou Man said indifferently: "As long as the patriarch responds, this will be done, right?"

  Xia Rui nodded, "That's right, but how can you make the patriarch agree?"

  That's not easy, use money to smash it.

  In recent years, although the Shangzhou Xia clan has successfully acknowledged his relatives with Zhou Man, he has never benefited from Zhou Man.

   is also a coincidence. After so many years, the county magistrate Zhai was slowly promoted, and he is still in Shangzhou, and now he is the Sima of Shangzhou.

  With him, someone who knows the details of the Xia family, both inside and outside Shangzhou City know that although the Xia family is nominally Zhou Man’s natal family, she has no relationship with the Xia family at all, and there are even some private conflicts.

  So it is impossible for some people to take the name of Zhou Man to do things. In addition, Thu Lang has to go to Shangzhou at least twice a year. With him staring at it, it is even more difficult for the Xia family to act.

  How to choose between a tribe who won’t benefit and a sum of ready-made money, couldn’t be easier.

  Zhou Man has been in contact with the Xia family all these years, except that she invited the Xia family once when she was married, and never did so again, for today.

  Xia Rui is not his father, and will not force Zhou Man to stay. In his opinion, it is also good for Zhou Fenzong, so that their team will all be in charge of her, and they will do whatever they want.

  "Then...when will you return to Hongtian Village, do you want me to follow along?"

   Zhou Man smiled and said, "I'm about to ask Uncle Xia for help."

  Zhou Man and Bai Shan prepared a box of silver ingots, which they used to buy Patriarch Xia.

  The next day the couple left the children with Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng. They took the money to pick up Xia Rui and went to Hongtian Village together.

   Patriarch Xia had been waiting long ago, greeted people in the door and looked back, "Did you bring the children?"

   Zhou Man smiled and said: "The child is young, and taking him is also a burden. We are mainly talking about things today, and we will bring him over after we have finished the discussion."

   "Yes," Patriarch Xia said with a smile: "The sacrifice to the ancestor and the genealogy of the family are both important matters. We can discuss the matter first and then bring him to worship the ancestor."

  Zhou Man sat in danger, "Clan chief, since I am going to open an ancestral hall, I want to separate my branch and set up another ancestral hall. How did we do it together this time?"

   Patriarch Xia was surprised, "What, do you want to divide the clan?"

   Zhou Man nodded and said: "Yes, you know, we are mainly in the capital now, and we don’t have any business in Shangzhou, so we plan to establish the ancestral hall in Chang'an, and we will join the clan with Shangzhou in the future."

   "No, you guys are withered, how can you divide the clan?"

Zhou Man said: "This is only now. When this child grows up, he can naturally open up branches and leaves for the Xia family. Before, I didn't mention the division of the family because I followed my father's surname, but now we have a boy in our line. That branch is justified."

Patriarch Xia refused. He said, "The capital is not far from Shangzhou. Your grandparents’ tombs are here. If you don’t go back to your hometown, the clan can also help you. If you don't come back for eight years, will the grass on your grandparents' graves soar?"

  It’s not like that.

   Zhou Man thought to himself that before she came back that year, Xia Xia remembered to sweep the graves of her grandparents. Who in the clan would burn him an incense stick?

   Zhou Man looked at Xia Rui.

   Xia Rui waved at them and said, "You go out first, I will talk to the patriarch."

When they left, Xia Rui took Patriarch Xia's hand and said, "Patriarch, what is the use of keeping her forcibly? Look at how old she is now. Who knows outside that she is the heir of our Xia family. ?"

Xia Rui said: "It's okay if you don't know. Those who know don't know how to make fun of us. Their line is now like this. Who doesn't ridicule us secretly to bully the weak, and this pushes the blood of the protagonist far away, and even takes care of it. The clans refused."

   Patriarch Xia flushed.

  The Xia family is not a very big clan in Shangzhou, but it is because there are many clansmen gathered, but most of them are poor and have limited influence.

   is not very important to fame.

  But I don’t care about it anymore. I still feel sick when I am seen that way, especially when I talk about kissing.

  Xia Rui also said: "Look at the young people in these years who are talking about relatives. How many can you say that is particularly good?"

"It's okay if you don't use Zhou Man's fame. Everyone is sure to marry quietly. When she borrows her fame, she asks, what kind of people do you attract?" Xia Rui Said: "They are all snobbery who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There are not many good people."

Patriarch Xia's face became more and more ugly.

"So instead of keeping her, it's better to let her leave in separate sects. Everyone can gather and disperse. Is there any incense, right?" Xia Rui lowered his voice and said, "And she is not trying to divide the sect. This time I also brought some silver..."
