Chapter 129: Mother and daughter avoid guests and talk privately
"Mother, why didn't the eldest sister and the third sister come over?" There are many people who come today, and Zhou, as the main mother, has been busy entertaining guests, and Xiao finally grabbed a gap with questions in his stomach, and asked immediately......
Originally, Xiao Qi and the Zhou family had three daughters, and it stands to reason that their stepchildren were naturally going to be present. It's unfortunate that this time, Xiao's eldest sister is now outside with her husband, and she won't be able to come back for a while, Xiao's sister was originally going to come, but something happened at home and was stopped, and in the end, only Xiao's daughter came back.
Xiao is already a married girl, and she doesn't know much about her mother's affairs, so she naturally wants to ask when she sees her mother.
Listening to Zhou's general explanation, Xiao frowned, "This is really unfortunate. ”
"No, I still want you sisters to see Zheng'er, so that you can take care of him in the future. "Only one of the three daughters came, and the Zhou family was naturally very regretful, but the daughters were already married daughters, married to their husbands, and there was no way to do it, so they had to find another opportunity to let the other two daughters come in the future.
"Zheng'er, is that the little boy just now?"
Zhou is now liking that child, and is smiling to talk to Xiao about Xiao Zheng, as soon as she says this, Zhou immediately hit Xiao Shi, "Now it's your brother, what kind of tone are you?"
"That kid is so pleasing, looking at his mother's appearance, I'm willing to teach him a lesson, it seems that I really like it!" Xiao said with a smile.
Zhou glared at Xiao angrily, "My mother gave birth to your three sisters, and now they have all become other people's daughters-in-law, and when my mother is at this age, she can still have a little person by her side, so she is naturally happy in her heart." ”
Xiao Shi also understands his own mother, seeing that she said this, how can he not understand what she means.
Xiao Qi and Zhou's only got three Xiao sisters in their lives, and Zhou originally wanted to keep a son-in-law, but who knew that Xiao Qi disagreed, so he had to marry his daughters one by one with red makeup. Xiao Qi opened a academy in Lishan and also accepted disciples, took disciples on weekdays, or had leisure and three or two old friends to play chess and eat tea together, and the life was leisurely.
But Xiao's is different, she is a woman in the house, that is, she has a handkerchief, and everyone is now a grandmother, surrounded by children and grandchildren, large and small families, where is the same as her, it is good to see the above occasionally, where someone can accompany her from time to time. In addition to a few maids and women who grew up in a small place around her to talk and relieve boredom, she was really bored.
Now it is said that it is a step-child, but it is better to find a child to accompany them, and it is good to have a child in the inner house to make trouble on weekdays.
"It's good if my mother likes it, and our sisters naturally hope that our parents can be happy. Xiao naturally has no opinion on his father's decision to have a stepchild, not only does she have no opinion, but she has always supported it, but it is a little strange that her father's sudden decision.
Xiao Shi thought about it and asked the question in his heart, "Mother, a while ago, you asked someone to bring me a letter, and the letter was not clear, I am about to ask you some questions." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhou asked.
"Didn't you say in your letter that Xiao Zheng's parents have died, but he is the only child in the family, if he is an only son in his family, if he is passed on to our family, then his family will be extinct, how can my father agree?"
"Your dad didn't agree at all. Zhou said with some indignation.
"Huh?" Xiao Shi never imagined that this was the result, could it not be that her mother ignored her father's opposition and insisted on calling relatives and friends to do this succession, "Mother, you ......"
"Hey, okay, look at your expression. Zhou glanced at Xiao Shi with a frown and dissatisfaction, and explained: "You said that your father is really annoying the older you get. Originally, he had to bring people back, but after bringing them back and studying with him for a few days, he thought that this child was good and smart, so he wanted to take people as disciples. When I saw that your father liked this child so much, I thought that if I really became your father's disciples, your father and I would also be his elders, and now that his parents are gone, we must take care of him. It just so happens that I don't have much to do at home on weekdays, so I naturally pay a little attention to his affairs. ”
Zhou said and remembered something and smiled, "This child has suffered a little at a young age, and he is more sensible than others, so much so that I like it more and more, I didn't expect to succeed this stubble, no, a few days ago, his mother's relatives came, and it was her mother's cousin-in-law who came, so I left her for a meal." Isn't it a coincidence, it just so happened that your eldest sister-in-law in the clan also came to see me that day, and she also brought the words of the clan to ask. ”
Seeing that Xiao's face is not good, you know that she has not liked the relatives in the Xiao clan very much since she was a child, and it is also that the Xiao clan is too obsessed with Xiao's father's succession, which makes the three Xiao sisters a little disgusted by this. Zhou hurriedly patted her hand to comfort her, "Most of the people in the clan are still good. ”
"Who knows for whose good, if my father is the same as the uncle of the Yin Eleven clan in the clan, will the clan still be so enthusiastic?" Xiao Shi said with disdain.
The Uncle Yin Eleventh that the Xiao clan said was a figure that the entire Xiao clan in Nancheng did not want to mention. This Xiao Yin has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and his talent for reading and literacy can be said to be the highest in the Xiao family, since he entered the hall to become literate, almost the entire Xiao family thought that he would become the pride of the Xiao family, and he would be able to become famous all over the world in the future, leading the Nancheng Xiao family to a new height.
No one expected that this Xiao Yin was indeed famous all over the world, but it was not because of his literary character, but because of his romantic affairs.
Probably because the Xiao clan had high expectations for him since he was a child, spoiled him too much, and somehow actually raised him into a temperament of pity and cherishment, he was simply a confidant all over the world, and there were even women who ran away from home to find him regardless of the few poems he wrote.
In the first few years, the elders of the Xiao family still persuaded him bitterly, and even punished him to the ancestral shrine for confinement.
In the end, even his own father couldn't stand it, so he simply separated the family out of sight, who knew that he was even more presumptuous without the restraint of his elders, and directly took those confidants back home, and there were different women coming and going in front of his house almost every day, which became a local scene.
"If your father is really like your eleventh uncle, where will the clan care!"
That's right, Xiao Yin's reputation is accompanied by his huge group of heirs, he has never married a wife, but the family has never broken a woman, and the number of children is indeed increasing at a rate of several a year, and now except for those who have died young, Xiao Yin's children can almost form a small Xiao family.
Xiao's face suddenly crossed a little, "Mother, you obviously know that what I said is not this!"
Zhou smiled, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." That day, Zheng'er's cousin-in-law and your sister-in-law met together, and your sister-in-law mentioned the matter of succession by the way. You also know that since you got married, this persuasion in the clan has almost become fixed, anyway, they just talk to us, and they can't really make a decision for us, just listen. Unexpectedly, when Zheng'er's aunt heard it, she thought about it. ”
"Mother, I remember that in your previous letter, didn't you say that after the death of this political brother's parents, he grew up relying on the people in the Zhuangzi to eat and eat and wear a piece of clothing? If there are still relatives, why did no one come over when he was helpless, and now you and your father have decided to raise him, but there are relatives who have come to the door, which kind of relative is this?" Xiao raised his eyebrows, and instantly grasped the point.
"You-" Zhou didn't understand what his daughter meant, but there were some things that could really be so clear, "Okay, I know what you mean, you can rest assured, your mother and I eat more salt than you eat, and I won't know these things." It's just for Zheng'er, it's hard for him to have no relatives at a young age, her mother's cousin-in-law can come to see him now, as long as it's not too much, I won't really refuse her, I have to let Zheng'er have a thought. ”
"Mother, what's there to think about it, I see, you are too kind-hearted!"
"What do you know!" Zhou slapped Xiao angrily, "Although Zheng'er is still young now, he is also the governor. You said that when he grew up in the future, he wanted to know something about his parents, what can we say? Well, some of his former relatives are here, and they always know his parents, but when the time comes, he wants to know about his parents or what they look like, and there will always be someone who can talk to him. ”
"It's the same thing you say, if you and your father prevent these relatives from coming to the door, you won't have to raise a son and raise an enemy in the future. By the way, the cousin-in-law of Zheng'er and her mother thought about it, and what happened later?"
Zhou snorted, "Speaking of Zheng'er, I still want to call this cousin, I heard your sister-in-law say that I and your father have a succession, I am so cheeky, I look at her, at first she probably wanted to pass on her own son, but before she opened her mouth to let me see, I said that our Xiao family rules can only be passed within the same sex clan, and she put out her mind." Who knew that a few days later, she came again, and the words were to praise Zheng'er for how obedient and sensible she was, although she was selfish, but Zheng'er and I really liked this child, so I mentioned it to your father. ”
"Daddy agreed?"
"How can it!" Zhou took a sip of tea and continued, "At first, your father didn't say no, he just said that he would consider it, and after a few days, I still didn't agree with your father, who knows, one day your father suddenly came to me and asked me to send a letter to your sisters, saying that he wanted to pass on his step-heir." ”
Xiao and Zhou looked at each other for a few seconds, and said in surprise: "That's it?"
"That's all!"
"Didn't my dad say why? Why don't you ask him?"
"You don't know your father yet, it's easy to talk at other times, but once he decides, no one can change it. Zhou slapped Xiao's hand, "Okay, okay, what are you trying to do there, hurry up and help me go out to greet the guests!"
