Someone from outside came to report that it was the champion's father who came, and Mrs. Xie Ergu was startled, although she expected that he might come to Beijing, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, Mrs. Xie Ergu still wanted to wait for her daughter-in-law to come and return to Jiangnan immediately, but he came so quickly.

After Liao Jingzhang came in, he frowned dissatisfiedly and said: "Where is this porter? If you don't know me, I said that it was the champion father, or did he stop me, and said that he would let me in after the report, this is the home you are in charge of? I think this family has to be supported by a man." ”

Mrs. Xie didn't say a word, she was in the living room of the second gate, so she didn't let them into her yard.

Seeing Liao Jingzhang find a chair to sit down by himself, the cousin Aunt Wu timidly stepped forward to salute and called Mrs. Although she is also in her forties, her body has been delicate and weak in the past few years, and it is difficult to be able to follow all the way, standing there is a pretty and weak posture.

Liao Jingzhang looked at the motionless Mrs. Xie Ergu and said: "This way is in a hurry, fortunately, as soon as I say where the champion lives, someone will give directions, and I will find this one successfully, I will be tired, hurry up and find a yard to arrange, Mei He is not in good health, find a doctor to take a look, and send someone to wait." ”

Second Aunt Xie nodded to the mother-in-law standing beside her, and the mother-in-law walked up to Aunt Wu, bowed halfway, and said, "Please follow the slave to the Peach Red Courtyard." ”

The courtyard where Aunt Wu's Liao family lives in Jiangnan is called Taohong Courtyard, although there is no such courtyard name here, but Mrs. Xie Ergu prevented Liao Jingzhang from coming to Beijing, and she had already told her subordinates to clean up a courtyard, and ordered, and when someone lived there, it would be called Taohong Courtyard.

Liao Jingzhang smiled with satisfaction, thinking that his wife had prepared it for him in advance, and said that his wife had done a good job.

Mrs. Xie Ergu didn't show it on her face, but she was angry in her heart, at this juncture, the future of her sons didn't know whether it was joy or misfortune, he came, with his brain, he would only cause trouble for his children, and he couldn't wait to ...... , I really can't wait to give him ...... with my own hands.

"I learned that my son won the champion, I was in a hurry, fortunately I met Lin Zhaorong's brother on the road, there was his boat to open the way, it was a lot faster, that Lin brother is also a hospitable person, I settled down in a few days, invited him to come to the house, he heard that I am the father of the champion, and I am about to have a friendship with eight worships, but unfortunately my daughter asked you to marry, I was going to bring Tingyu before coming, but she happened to be sick, so the wife looked for Tingyu in Beijing, this is the champion sister, even if you marry a sister-in-law, it is not a problem. ”

Liao Tingyu is the youngest concubine, and she has not yet decided to marry, when Mrs. Xie Ergu brought her son to Beijing, Aunt Wu encouraged Liao Jingzhang to bring this concubine to Beijing to get married, and later let Mrs. Xie Ergu's words frightened, and she was afraid that Mrs. Xie and Liao Jingzhang would go with her, so she wanted to entangle Liao Jingzhang, so the second aunt and Mrs. got rid of them and brought their son to Beijing.

Liao Jingzhang said to himself, anyway, he was used to it, and he didn't look at his wife's face at all, as long as he said it, he felt that he should do it. In Jiangnan, these little things, the wife will not be too much. Now that he is the champion's father, his wife has to be even more scruples.

He said something on the road, but when he saw that his wife still didn't respond and was bored, he said that he was going to rest, and when he got up, he asked his wife which courtyard he lived, and the second aunt sent someone to take him to the peach courtyard.

Mrs. Xie Ergu has been sitting still, and the two henchmen around her withdrew from the house, and when she saw the uncle and the second master returning to the house together, she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered that the master had brought his aunt to Beijing.

Liao Anhua did not change at all, while Liao Anzhi frowned, and the two brothers hurried in.

"Mother!" As soon as he entered the house, Liao Anzhi opened his mouth in a panic.

"What's the panic!" Second Aunt Xie immediately scolded, and Liao Anhua stepped forward and said, "Mother, father is okay all the way." "I didn't cause trouble.

"Yes, of course, yes! The one who came with Lin Zhaorong's brother on the road is really a nest of snakes and rats, not a mismatch of the same kind!" said Mrs. Xie Ergu unceremoniously in front of her son.

Liao Anhua didn't say anything, but Liao Anzhi blushed and felt ashamed of his father.

"Your brothers should pay more attention, your father came here to be an old lady, and he must be indispensable to sacrifice ugliness everywhere, be peaceful outside, even don't show anything in front of outsiders, remember, although he is your father, but you are relying on yourself step by step today, not relying on him, so don't feel ashamed in front of outsiders, be considerate of your father, and take good care of him. Don't worry, when my daughter-in-law comes to Beijing, I will take your father back to Jiangnan. ”

Liao Anhua raised his eyes, his eyes were painful, and Liao Zhian was surprised, he thought that his mother would stay in Beijing, Liao Anhua had long known his mother's plans, although his mother had not said it.

He felt that his mother should enjoy her old age, but she had to entangle with her father for the rest of her life for the sake of their brothers.

Mrs. Xie Ergu said, "Say hello to your father again during dinner," and got up and went out.

Before dinner, Liao Jingzhang sat upright, and Liao Anhua and his brothers saluted together.

Liao Jingzhang looked at his eldest son, nodded with a smile, and said proudly: "Hua'er is like me, it wasn't your grandfather who hurried back to Jiangnan back then, your mother was angry and messing around with your father, and my father and I won't delay, fortunately, Hua'er is angry, this is your mother's teaching, in the future, I and your mother are in Beijing, I want you to be more filial, do things well for the court, give me this fight, haha! My Liao Jingzhang's son is no worse than the eldest brother, if your grandfather can live, you have to let your grandfather take a good look." ”

Second Mrs. Xie didn't wait for him to finish laughing, so she said let's set the meal, Liao Jingzhang smiled, a little embarrassed, and said unhappily: "Your mother is so rigid, she doesn't have the virtue that a woman should have, your daughter-in-law has to teach her well, otherwise going out won't be a shame on the face of the Liao family's man?"

After the next person set the meal and put it on the table, Mrs. Xie Ergu said: "Today is to catch your father, and in the future, Hua'er Zhi'er will still eat in their respective courtyards as usual, so there is no need to come." ”

Liao Jingzhang frowned and said: "What is this like? The daughters-in-law have not come to Beijing yet, they are not accompanied by their parents, so they can serve at any time, how can they enjoy it alone?"

"Hua'er Zhi'er just did something, I'm tired during the day, just rest when I come back, as for you, I will have someone send food to the Peach Red Courtyard, I've been unwell recently, I need to rest more." ”

Liao Jingzhang also showed a considerate look and said: "Since you are not feeling well, let Mei He serve you for a few days, I will live in the main courtyard in the future, this will let outsiders know that the man in charge does not live in the main courtyard, and you have no face, so I will stay, and the side courtyard will be for Mei He to live, and don't make any peach courtyards, which makes people laugh." ”
