This year's Mid-Autumn Festival passed so "lively", and the cousins quickly settled with the four talented men to go back to their homes to prepare for marriage, and Yuan Zheng even gave each cousin a valuable dowry.

Looking at the four carriages that were moving away, he was extremely relaxed, and although his mother was unhappy at the moment, she could stop for a while. However, he never thought at this time that the real trouble was still to come.

The old lady was old, the weather was getting cold and she held her breath, and she fell ill in a few days.

It is said that it will nourish the body, but in fact, regulating the mood is the most important thing. More than a month passed quickly, and the old lady still avoided her son and daughter-in-law, and only Doudou could still go to Bairui Hall to see her grandmother every day.

Yuan Zheng knew that his mother was really angry, and he knew that it was actually very simple to get her better, but he asked himself that he couldn't be such a "foolish filial piety", so he could only go to Bairui Hall every day to greet his mother, hoping that she could dissipate her anger as soon as possible.

On this day, Doudou came to Berry Hall to talk to her grandmother after school, and she remembered the pitiful appearance of her father braving the cold wind outside the house to greet her grandmother in the morning, and she couldn't help but want to plead for her father.

"Grandmother, I think this year is much colder than last year, do you think there will be such a big snow next year?" Doudou said while observing his grandmother's expression, and pleading for mercy is also to pay attention to skills, not to make grandmother angry is the premise, first test a few sentences.

How can she hide her cleverness from the old lady, and besides, Yuan Zheng is her only son after all, where is there an overnight feud between mother and son. But she just doesn't want him to be fooled around like before, and she wants to give her a grandson!

The old lady stretched out her hand and pinched Doudou's little face, and said with a light smile: "Sister Yuan, you don't have to detour when talking to your grandmother, you know it's good to feel sorry for your father, but he doesn't listen to his grandmother, he deserves to blow a cold wind in the yard." ”

"Grandmother, why do you have to let your father find a concubine?" Doudou asked weakly the words that had been held in his heart for a long time.

The old lady showed a bitter smile on her face, Sister Yuan is still too young after all, how do you know the importance of a boy to a family, but the root cause of the restlessness in the house is actually the fact that the wife and concubine are not compatible, and obviously she still knows, so she looks unhappy that her father takes a concubine.

If she could, she would never want to be such a wicked person. Now it has caused her son a headache, her daughter-in-law doesn't like it, and even her granddaughter, who has always been very bold, has become cautious when she speaks in front of her, and the people are even more trembling, and the quiet and peaceful house is also messed up.

Gu Chao has not heard from her for so many years, and she no longer has any hope of having a grandson. However, once she compromises on the matter of taking a concubine, with the temperament of Zheng'er, it is estimated that she really doesn't want to see her grandson in her life.

"Sister Yuan, it's not that your grandmother wants your father to take a concubine, but your father is not young, and we must have a boy in this family. The old lady seriously explained this problem to Doudou, hoping that she could stand on her side, which was more or less a support.

"But...... Even if I don't have a younger brother, my sister and I will definitely honor my grandmother and my father and mother, and grandmother, don't be angry with my father and mother. Doudou gently patted the back of the old lady's hand with his small hand, as if he was making a guarantee.

The heartwarming words made the old lady feel very heartwarming, she took Doudou into her arms and said: "You young ladies and sons are going to marry in the future, and your mother's family will always be the most solid backer for girls, and grandmother will be gone ......in the future."

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was covered by a small hand, and Doudou said a little anxiously: "Grandmother, you are not allowed to say such things, Yuan'er will always have grandmother with her." ”

"Silly boy. The old lady held her little hand in her palm, and said earnestly: "Grandmother will one day not be able to accompany your sisters and sons, and your father and mother will also have an old day, if there is no younger brother who can protect you in the future, what if you are bullied by your in-laws?"

Doudou heard a strong sadness from her grandmother's words, and didn't dare to say another word, she nestled tightly in the arms of the old lady, sad and sad, but also a little disapproving.

My uncle once said it in front of her, and although she was too young to understand the meaning of those words, she kept them firmly in her heart.

-- Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the flow of water, relying on everyone to run!

Let her pin all her hopes for a good life in the future on a "younger brother" who does not yet exist, this seems to be a bit unreliable, not to mention that even if she has a younger brother immediately, so much younger than her and her sister, it is hard to say who will rely on whom in the future!

Seeing that she didn't answer, the old lady patted her little head as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Sister Yuan, grandmother has something to discuss with your mother, so you can go and invite her over." ”

"Yes, Grandmother. Doudou answered, and quickly jumped out of bed and ran towards Gu Chao's yard.

"Old lady, ...... are you" The old lady suddenly looked for the second lady, which made Wu's mother a little incomprehensible.

"Aunt Cui, I thought about it before, why do you have to accept any noble concubines, as long as it is my son, why bother who the biological mother is, the Gu family may not have so many worries if the status is lower. The old lady was determined to have a grandson, and she thought that the failure of the concubine this time was inseparable from Gu Chao's obstruction, and she planned to find another way.

In fact, Mother Wu, a bystander, can see very clearly, if the second master wants to take a concubine, how can the second lady stop it? However, she didn't dare to say this in front of the old lady, so let their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law toss, anyway, they would leave it to the second master to worry about, she just had to serve the master.

After a cup of tea, Gu Chao appeared in the old lady's room, but Doudou was disqualified from auditing, and his plan to find out the news for his father failed.

No one knew the content of the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but an hour later, the second lady of the Yuan Dynasty, Gu Chao, left Bai Ruitang with an ugly face, and then she simply got sick, and even the greetings every morning and evening no longer appeared.

Besides, the old lady's side, since the showdown with her daughter-in-law, she devoted herself to the great cause of making her grandson in good spirits, and the people in the Bairui Hall were very lively for a while, and after half a month, she finally selected two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, who were said to have a good face and a good appearance, and asked someone to train some "specialties", and sent them to the study of Yuan Zheng in the outer courtyard as a maid.

If you really take a concubine, you still have all kinds of scruples, after all, where does a woman with a reputation dare to go to the outer courtyard casually to let a foreign man see it, this time the old lady will send you a maid directly, see where you are still running!
