Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Looking at his majestic and mighty son, he was both proud and indebted.

Sighed:

"It's dad who dragged you down!"

Nian Gengyao smiled:

"How did dad say that? How can father and son be burdened? They still have a son who died in place of his father! Besides, I can't blame you for this matter. I'm afraid the emperor has deep intentions in it."

Nian Yaling stroked his beard in relief:

"You guessed it too?"

Nian Gengyao nodded:

"It's not difficult to guess, isn't it? I'm only 32 this year, and I'm already a senior member of the second rank and a first-class loyal uncle. Now that I have won the battle, the emperor doesn't know how to raise the reward. I happened to find my father's weakness, but Not just right!"

So although this matter is a bit aggrieved, it also makes people breathe a sigh of relief. It's not that they completely dislike the Nian family, but also plan to reuse themselves. Everything is easy to talk about.

Nian Xialing added: "There is another point. Although there is no clear statement in this dynasty that a son cannot surpass his father's official position, there is actually such a rule."

Therefore, if the emperor really intends to reuse Nian Gengyao, he will definitely find a way to "retire" Nian Xialing.

Although Nian Gengyao didn't expect this, but when he was the interim governor of Huguang last year, he guessed that the emperor would not allow his father and son to hold high positions at the same time, and he didn't expect it to be fulfilled today.

Seeing that Nian Gengyao really thought about it, not perfunctory, Nian Xialing also heaved a sigh of relief.

"No matter what the emperor plans, this time you are at a disadvantage. Don't worry, father is not such an old fool. Father plans to take advantage of this to divide the family. Your eldest brother... hey, he is more than 30 years old. What kind of life he can live in the future depends on himself, your mother and I will go to Beijing with you, and I have been busy for most of my life, so let me relax!"

It's easy on the lips, but in fact, Nian Yaling is not so easy in his heart.

He has been on the battlefield since he was a teenager. It can be said that he obtained the position of Duke completely by his own ability, and it was not passed down from his father's generation. How could he not feel a little bit?

He is more willing to pass this title to a son who is worthy of this position, and to pass on this honor. It will not be a waste of his many years of hard work. Naturally, this person will not be his spoiled eldest son who is not very good at military and common affairs. .

Now that things are settled, it's useless to say anything, and I'm only in my early fifties and I'm going to retire, so I have to get used to this mentality for a while.

After finishing the business, Nian Xialing looked at Nian Gengyao with some embarrassment:

"Your mother..."

Nian Gengyao understood what he meant:

"My mother, I will persuade her, don't worry, father."

Nian Yaling breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good. From now on, I'll be a rich man with peace of mind, and just live with your mother. I don't have to worry about things outside the house anymore!"

It was only at this time that I realized that the hard work of the previous decades was not so important. When I got old, I just had three teas and six meals a day, staying with my old wife and recalling the past.

It was also at this time that he realized that he couldn't leave his wife. This time, his illness was serious, and he was afraid that his wife would leave him first. Fortunately, he looked much better now.

Mrs. Fu Cha not only was filial in words, but also really filial to her mother-in-law in her heart. She stayed by Mrs. Jia's side all day long, and did not pretend to be someone else's hands when serving medicines and feeding her meals.

Mrs. Jia scolded:

"It's not that there are no servants around, why bother to work for you?"

"Mum, I don't know. In order to get this job, I fought several times with Xigui and the others. In the end, I won because there were more people around me. I won't cherish this opportunity! Besides, with your old With such a strong body, this is the only chance in my life to be filial in front of the bed, so I naturally have to show it!"

The girls next to her naturally cooperated with her to tease Mrs. Jia, and deliberately said with a bitter face:

"No, madam doesn't know, the second mistress is so fierce when she fights, it scares us so much that we don't dare to argue with her."

"Hey! You are the only one who can talk poorly. It seems that you have learned from your sister in the past few years!" Mrs. Jia couldn't help but smile. This daughter-in-law is the most satisfactory to her, and there is nothing she is not satisfied with.

"That proves that I'm not stupid enough. Let me just say, it's enough to learn three points from my younger sister, but don't I just make my mother happy with these three points?"

Mrs. Jia smiled sincerely, she felt very satisfied, with such filial sons and daughters and daughter-in-law, what else could she choose?

After all, the ones who are born are much more filial than those who are raised.

As for saying that her years of painstaking efforts were in vain, and the title was passed on to the boss, although she was unbalanced, it was not unacceptable. Her son is so outstanding, who can say that he can't earn the title of Duke in the future?

What she was really angry about was that the boss stepped on her son's blood to sit on the throne of the Duke, and she wished... Now that she had her son's comfort and the Fucha family's attentive attendant, the depression was completely dissipated.

"Okay, you'll be fine if you want to. You can sit down too. There was a lot of trouble along the way, and you even brought Brother Xi back. It's really heartbreaking to see the child being tortured." .”

"That kid is really solid, raised and played vigorously."

She also felt sorry for her son at the time, but she dared not say it.

Because the news I got at that time was that my mother-in-law was dying, and Brother Xi had to show up as the eldest grandson, so I took him on the road in a hurry.

Fortunately, the son was able to live up to himself, and his aunt's painstaking efforts were not in vain. The medicine specially prepared by Nanny Sun was used. After all, the child was not hurt, and the mother-in-law survived. Fortunately, it was only a false alarm.

Mrs. Jia has always been in good health, but once a person in good health gets sick, it is not so easy to get well. Although Mrs. Jia has a heart disease and Nanny Sun is also good at medicine, she still feels uncomfortable and lies on the bed. , While watching his grandson play, he chatted with the Fucha family about some things in the capital.

At this time Xigui came in and reported:

"Ma'am, Grandma is here!"

"Please come in."

Before the person came in completely, he heard a voice, and Hu laughed heartily:

"My daughter-in-law greets my wife, how does my wife feel today?"

"It's the same old way, I'm going to bother you!" Mrs. Jia said lightly.

Fucha couldn't help frowning when she saw her sister-in-law who was different from usual:

"Sister-in-law, what kind of happy event is this, so happy? Are you dressed so festively?"

When the mother-in-law is sick, not to mention wearing plain clothes, she dares to wear red and purple clothes to visit her sick, what kind of rule is this?

Also, it's been two days since she came back, and she only saw her sister-in-law twice in total. Could it be that after becoming a prince, she doesn't have to be filial to her mother-in-law?

Mrs. Hu didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Fucha's words for a while, and said with a smile:

"Does it look good? I just made it. If it wasn't for an important banquet today, I wouldn't have thought about wearing it!"

Mrs. Hu, who has become the new wife of the Duke, is so happy. She has had this dream for many years, and today it finally came true. Coupled with the fawning of the servants in the mansion, she got carried away.

Mrs. Fu Cha didn't mean to flatter her, and she was so proud of her man's hard work, did she want to fight?

Fucha said coldly:

"I don't know what the clothes look like, but I know something is wrong with my sister-in-law's behavior!"

Hu's smile froze on his face:

"Are the second siblings crazy? They dare to accuse the elder sister-in-law. Ma'am, you see, the second siblings treat me like this in front of you, which shows how it is in private."

Mrs. Jia glanced at her indifferently, the prestige of this glance made Hu's heart tremble, thinking that she is now the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, her back straightened up again.

Mrs. Jia is too lazy to argue with her, let alone talk to her:

"Since your second younger sibling said you have one, why don't you ask her."

Mrs. Hu hesitated for a while, but Mrs. Fucha did not intend to stop there, and sneered:

"Sister-in-law is also from a family, so you must have learned etiquette in the boudoir? Could it be that your husband didn't teach you how to observe etiquette when visiting patients?

What about 'filial piety'?Should have learned it too?When the mother is sick in bed, shouldn't we as daughter-in-laws be filial in front of the bed?Even if sister-in-law is too busy, she should ask questions three times a day, right?

But it's been two days since I came back, why didn't I see my sister-in-law coming three times?Could this be a gift from your Hu family? "

Mrs. Fucha was sharp-tongued, and a series of rhetorical questions left Mrs. Hu no chance to interrupt, and she was left speechless by her questions. Under the gazes of all the servants in the room, Mrs. Hu blushed. I don't know if it was from embarrassment or angry.

Just when she was about to say something to make amends, the curtain was lifted, and Nian Xialing walked in, followed by Nian Xiyao with drooping eyebrows.

The two daughters-in-law hurriedly got up and saluted.

Nian Yaling waved to Fucha:

"Come on, you are a filial person, no wonder your mother usually praises you, and you have worked hard these few days!"

"Serving your mother is what a daughter-in-law should do, and you can't be a father with the word 'hard work'!" Fu Cha said respectfully.

Nian Yaling nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Mrs. Hu:

"What your brother and sister said is the truth? You really never came to serve the sick?"

He didn't notice this in his careless mind. If he hadn't just heard it, he wouldn't have thought of it.

Seeing again that Hu's head is full of pearls and emeralds, shining brightly, and his body is festively dressed, his brows are all wrinkled together.

Hu's face turned pale, and he was too scared to speak.

Having been on the battlefield at a young age, the evil spirit on her body is not something that ordinary housewives can withstand.

Nian Xialing ignored Hu, and only looked at the eldest son:

"What about you? Your daughter-in-law is not filial, how many times do you greet her every day?"

Nian Xiyao's fiery heart cooled a lot, and she said embarrassedly:

"I just took over the affairs of the mansion. There are really too many things these few days. I'll give... Er Niang, it's my son's fault. Don't be angry!"

Mrs. Jia laughed.

Nian Yaling was so angry that his beard was about to stand up, and he kicked the eldest son:

"You are unfilial! Although your mother is not your biological mother, she raised you carefully since she was a child. She is no different from your second and third brothers. Don't you understand that you are not as good as your kindness? Now it's good, your wings are hard Now, your father and I are still alive, so 'filial' to your mother, how could I give birth to a son like you?" It is really unreasonable to want to deny your parents just after receiving the title!

Although Nian Xiyao is over 50 years old, but he is not too hard-working. Last year Xiyao couldn't stand up, kneeling on the ground, Nian Xiyao couldn't lift his head.

Shame!

Not only because of losing face in front of the slaves, but also because of shame.

"The son has no intention of being disrespectful to his mother. The son thinks that the Hu family has performed his filial piety in front of the mother's bed on behalf of the son, but who would have thought that the Hu family would actually..." He stared fiercely at the Hu family.

Mrs. Jia looked at it, and she was not interested in watching it any longer. She raised him for being so "simple", how could it be blamed.

"Okay, the child didn't mean it, so just say a few words less! Get up, you're such an old man, you can't be the same as when you were a child."

Nian Xiyao had admiration in his eyes:

"Thank you mother for understanding my son!"

Nian Yaling sighed, didn't want to say anything more, and waved him to go down:

"Let's all go down, I will invite the clan elders to come over tomorrow, and I have something to order then."

Nian Xiyao couldn't figure it out, and stepped back obediently.

It happened that someone came to look for Mrs. Hu, and when he saw her, he said happily:

"I can see grandma. My aunt came to see you and brought you two carts of things. She said it was a congratulatory gift and asked you to go and collect it!"

Nian Yaling heard it in the house, and the anger that had just subsided rose again:

"Who is talking outside, get out!"

"I have seen the master and madam!"

A girl with a raw face hurried in.

Nian Yaling put on a straight face:

"Who did you just say will give the boss a congratulatory gift?"

"It's my aunt!"

Nian Yaling sneered:

"Tell that unfilial girl to come here!" She was in a bad mood and everything was not pleasing to the eye, but they insisted on bumping into each other!
