Chapter 115: Combining Rigidity and Softness

As soon as he heard his father use these two words, Shen Laibao knew that it was not something urgent in business, nor was it important. After getting along for more than ten years, he immediately figured out the meaning of his words - Shen Laibao, you are in trouble, hurry up and bring Lao Tzu over!

His father can't collapse.

Shen Laibao shook his head, ready to go over and take a look. Hua Ling heard the sound and came over, because she was only wearing her bedclothes, she probed at the door, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, Dad let me go over." Shen Laibao smiled, "Come in, it's late, sleep if you want, don't wait for me." ”

Hua Ling answered, and when he saw that he was not leaving, he had to close the door himself, and blew out the six candles in the house, leaving only two for him to use as light when he returned to the house. When the mosquito net was lowered, only a little fire could be seen. She wanted to wait for him to come back, but as she waited, her eyelids began to fight, and it was not long before she fell asleep and fell asleep.

Shen Laibao arrived in his father's room, and someone knocked on the door on his behalf, "Master, madam, the young master is here." ”

"Come in."

His voice was deep, and Shen Laibao was even more sure that he must have made his father unhappy again.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, he saw a Guan Gong's face. His father actually moved a chair and sat at the main entrance, and when he opened the door, he saw it, and his aura was compelling. Mrs. Shen stood beside her, glaring at him vigorously behind Master Shen's back.

He thinks he hasn't done anything wrong lately, but he doesn't have a weak heart. And how many times has he been cheated by his father since he was a child, there is really nothing to be afraid of, "Dad, mother." ”

"Where did you go for flower wine today?"

"......" Shen Laibao was asked in a trance, and only remembered for a moment that this was the version of the rumor that Fang had just said that he had seen him sitting with a beautiful girl drinking tea.

"Noble Treasure." Mrs. Shen sighed, "If you can't help it, just find the maid, why do you have to look for it outside." It would be sad to let Suzuki know. ”

Shen Laibao was stunned, this nature is no different, "Mother, I didn't ask a girl to drink." ”

Old Man Shen said angrily, "What did the next person see?" Aren't you drinking with a girl? ”

"That girl is the daughter of Uncle Zhao's family."

Master Shen lowered his eyebrows and thought, "Zhao ...... Could it be that Zhao Yan Zhao Master? Only then did he remember, "I did ask you to talk about business with Mr. Zhao, who is in the tea business, and he brought his daughter here?" No, but the next person didn't see Master Zhao. And you'...... Smells of alcohol. ”

Shen Laibao had no choice but to tell his father and mother what he had just said to Hua Ling, and the faces of the two of them would get better, and they said again and again, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding." ”

"It's a misunderstanding, and I've explained it to Suzuki."

Mrs. Shen said, "Then why didn't she even drink the porridge and chicken juice after hearing about it?" Isn't that sad about this? ”

Shen Laibao said with a smile, "Mother, it seems that pregnant people have no appetite when they see greasy things, when my mother was pregnant with me, I don't know if it will be so uncomfortable?" ”

Mrs. Shen smiled, "No." ”

"Mother, it's hard work."

Mrs. Shen sighed lightly, "It's enough to have my son." She thought for a while, and said, "Maybe Lingling is the same, I usually hear people say that when you are hungry, you can drink two bowls of porridge, but this time I only drank a little, and my mother thought it was because of you, but it turned out that my mother made a mistake." Don't give her these greasy things from tomorrow onwards, and ask Ling Ling what she wants to eat, and then let the cook make it. ”

Shen Laibao said with a smile, "My mother really cares about Lingling. ”

"My daughter-in-law is still pregnant with my grandson, can I not be in a hurry?"

Seeing that their mother and son had a deeper relationship, Master Shen left him aside. I originally felt that it was embarrassing to teach the wrong person, but this would be put aside, and said with a straight face, "Why don't you go back to wash up and rest, you still have to go out to run errands tomorrow morning, right?" ”

Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied, "My son has just come back, how tired he is." ”

Master Shen was even more displeased, and snorted, "When you married me, I also worked hard every day." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled, "Okay, you are the hardest." ”

Master Shen's complexion was better.

Shen Laibao also smiled and retreated.

In Mingzhou City, it is not easy to do something bad in the future.

He sighed and went directly to the bathroom room, without going back to the house to wash, so as not to wake her up. By the time she came back, Hua Ling had slept soundly. Seeing her sleeping against the wall, I was afraid that the wall would cold her. He leaned over and slowly "fished" her out, and put a pillow on her back so that it wouldn't stick to the wall.

The person in the dream had a calm face, and after looking at her for a while, Shen Laibao fell asleep.

He woke up the next morning, but Hua Ling still hadn't woken up. When he finished washing, the slight sound of water alarmed her, and Hua Ling opened her eyes, still looking sleepy.

The first thing she did when she woke up was, "What did Daddy do with you last night?" Listening to the tone of the subordinate, it was very serious. ”

"I said that someone saw me going to have fun, and my father and mother felt that you were going to be wronged, so they asked me to go over and give me a lecture. However, it has been explained clearly and there is no punishment. ”

Hua Ling paused slightly, "Brother Noble knows which person said it?" ”

"Didn't ask." Shen Laibao finished washing, came to talk to her, saw that her bed clothes were slightly open, Xu was pregnant, and the two crisp whites were even more erect and round, he endured the anxiety, tied up her clothes, and said, "I have to go out now, I can't eat breakfast with you." ”

Hua Ling smiled, "Go quickly, come back early when you're done." ”

Shen Laibao nodded and took his things out of the house. Hua Ling also got up to wash up and went to have breakfast with her in-laws. Strangely, I didn't see any greasy meat or soup this morning, but I ate it lightly.

Mrs. Shen saw that she had eaten more than usual, and she was happy, "If it weren't for Noble Treasure's reminder, I would have forgotten that where can people with bodies eat so many greasy things, it was my mother's negligence." You too, why don't you say it if you don't like it? In the future, if you want to eat, let the cook make it, and my mother won't do it. ”

The tip of Hua Ling's heart moved slightly, no wonder I didn't see those soups, it turned out that Shen Laibao had mentioned it. Her heart was even warmer, and she said with a smile, "I also like the things made by my mother, but I can't eat much now that I'm pregnant." Wait for the child to be born in the future, and then taste the mother's handiwork. ”

Mrs. Shen's face was suddenly relieved, "It's good if you like it." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked again, and after Hua Ling was full, she sat down for a while, and then went for a walk in the garden. The courtyard of the Shen family is wide, and it is comfortable to walk, and it is not boring to walk. There is only one point, there are too many decorative things, which can be seen to be rich, but it is very different from the simple and elegant decoration of their flower family.

Hua Ling walked back to the room, the next person had already made tea, poured the tea in front of him and didn't drink it, and said directly, "Go and call Ah Shui in, let the other people who are waiting in our room put the things in hand and come to the room." ”

Ah Shui is the one who told Hua Ling last night that he saw Shen Laibao drinking tea with other girls.

But after a while, Ah Shui came, and when he came in, he saw that Hua Ling had no smile on his face, and there were many people in the house. I have been a subordinate for many years, and I also know that this sign is wrong, so I knelt down when I went in, "Miss." ”

Hua Ling glanced at her and said, "Yesterday you told me about the young master's outing, I remember I told you that you can't tell the second person about this matter, but you told someone in a blink of an eye, is there such a thing?" ”

Ah Shui opened her mouth, saw her eyes burning, and knew that she couldn't hide it, so she could only admit, "It's true...... But I only told one person, not others. ”

"You tell one person, and that person tells others, one to ten, ten to hundred, and it won't take long for all the people of the Shen family to know."

Ah Shui said, "Miss...... I didn't do anything wrong...... The little one will tell you as soon as he knows about it. ”

"Yes, you are not wrong to tell me this, and I like your loyalty. But I told you not to tell anyone, and not to spread the word, and not to do anything. But what about you......" Hua Ling said this, and couldn't help sighing, "You turned around and told others, and the person you are talking about is not a sister or a parent with you, just a subordinate who does things together." If you're like this, you just can't hide your secrets, and you just want to find resonance. ”

When Ah Shui heard this, she was already irrefutable, and the meaning in her obedience was to punish her, she immediately panicked, and her eyes were red with anxiety, "Miss, I was wrong, you forgive me." I promise never to chew on the root of my tongue and talk nonsense again. If you ask me to go east, I will definitely go east, even if the east is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will definitely listen to you! ”

Hua Ling shook her head slightly, "It's late." ”

Ah Shui was stunned, and then cried, "Miss, spare me, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." ”

Her crying was so terrible that it caused the people in the room to prick up their ears, but they didn't dare to look there, so they could only look at it with their peripheral eyes. Looking at the young grandmother again, although she was sighing, she didn't seem to intend to forgive her, and she knew one thing more in her heart - this young grandmother looked like an innocent little girl, but in fact she was a housewife, acting decisively and quickly, and she was a person who could not be provoked.

Thinking of this, everyone even straightened their waists, for fear that they would do something wrong and be discovered by her.

Hua Ling is not a hard-hearted person, but she has her own code of conduct, and if she crosses the line, then she must not stay. She said, "You go to the account office and get three months' wages, and go." ”

Ah Shui was stunned, cried even louder, and begged for mercy again and again. A few old grandmothers wanted to persuade, but they were noticed by Hua Ling, their eyebrows and eyes were raised slightly, but with a slight sweep, a few people stopped their steps and mouths, and they didn't dare to plead.

Hua Ling said again, "I won't punish you, but I can't keep you either." I ask nothing of those who serve by my side but two things—faithfulness and diligence. As long as you keep your duty, I will not embarrass you, nor will I beat or scold. But if you can't do these two things, then you can't be left. ”

Ah Shui heard that she had already told this to the whole room, and knew that there was no room for maneuver. I thought that I had three months' salary, but I didn't treat her badly, and I didn't beat her with a stick, which was also her luck. If she cries again, maybe she will be annoyed, and she will have to be beaten and have no money, why bother.

She gradually stopped crying, bowed to the ground and thanked her, and said goodbye, and then left the room and went to the account room to collect the money.

Hua Ling was silent for a moment before saying, "I gave her three months' salary, not because it means that people who leave the Shen family in the future will have such good things, but because I know that she has a pair of children to support." These three months of money are enough to last until next month, when she finds a new employer and gets paid. It's just that I think that no matter what, the Shen family's food and drink for their subordinates will not be worse than others. It is better to work here for thirty years with three months' wages, and if you think I am not good here, just go to another room, and I will tell my mother. ”

The subordinates looked at each other, and no one stood up to speak.

is obviously a sixteen or seventeen-year-old delicate person, how can he act so vigorously...... It's also full of human touch. But think about it carefully, where is it good to be a subordinate in the Shen family.

"If no one comes to me tomorrow morning to talk about this, then I will assume that you all intend to be faithful to us, and that you will be diligent and less gossipy."

The atmosphere in the room was silent for a while, and it took a long time before he dared to come out and say, "I listen to the young master and young grandmother." ”

One person took the lead, and the others also kowtowed.

Hua Ling has finished what she wants to say, and it is really tiring to do these things with a big belly. She was in poor spirits and waved her hand to let her subordinates step down.

Mama Ge went over and closed the door, came back and took her hand and sent her back to bed. She walked very slowly, her eyes fell on others, and she felt emotional. She looked at the people who grew up, and now, she has finally grown up and can take charge on her own. She was originally worried that there were many Shen family members, and she couldn't suppress this aura, but now it seems that she is too worried.

Thinking about it, I always feel relieved and reluctant, and I am reluctant to stand in front of this little person to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Hua Ling lay down, only to feel that her waist bones were very comfortable, and before she could take a long breath of relief, she saw Mama Ge's red eyes and asked hurriedly, "Mama, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Alas, happy." Mama Ge smiled faintly, "Mama is happy to see that my young lady is not being bullied." ”

Hua Ling was puzzled and said with a smile, "Crying with joy?" It's still a trivial matter, and Mama is red-eyed. When I do something big in the future, my grandmother will flood the lotus pond. ”

Mama Ge smiled, wiped away her tears and said, "What big deal is Miss going to do?" ”

"Take care of business with Brother Noble, I still prefer to do business than officialdom."

Mama Ge was so amused by her that she couldn't cry, "Where is my uncle, what if you suppress his limelight?" ”

"No, it won't." Hua Ling pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied, "Brother Noble is much smarter than me, he doesn't press the limelight, only shoulder to shoulder." ”

Mama Ge couldn't cry at all, but couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, okay, what Miss says is what it is, it's Mama's fault, you shouldn't look down on your uncle." My uncle is the meat of Miss's heart, unparalleled in the world, I can't say it. ”

Hua Ling showed her face at this time, "Hmm! ”

Her brother Lai Bao is the most powerful person in the world, and no one can compare to him, not even the emperor.

- Of course, the last sentence can only be put in the bottom of my heart.

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Hua family received a letter from Mi'er, saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival would return. Hua Pingsheng, who received the letter, felt quite strange and said that he couldn't reply, and now he said that Xu is son was in the military camp and felt a little uneasy. However, when the Liao family heard that their son was coming back, they simply didn't go to the eldest son, and they couldn't go to the barracks to visit, so the eldest son could go if he wanted to.

Hua Ling was also very happy when she knew that her second brother was coming back, and whispered to Shen Laibao at night, "The plate will definitely come back, and I don't know if she has made it clear to my second brother now." ”

"I don't think so."

"Why?"

"If you say it, your second brother will definitely scold us and say that we are hiding it from him."

Hua Ling immediately felt weak, "That's right......" She pillowed on his arm, because of the round stomach problem, she couldn't get close to him, and the whole person lay on the bed in a diagonal line, "Then my mother should be in a hurry." ”

Shen Laibao tilted his head, "In a hurry? ”

"Yes, with the character of the plate, if the second brother doesn't marry her, she will definitely not let the second brother marry someone else. But if you really want to marry her, you really have to wait for my second brother to become a powerful general, but how young is that? My second brother's age is not young, the eldest brother's marriage is a thorn in my mother's heart, and the second brother is ......"

As she spoke, she sighed, as a daughter, she felt how difficult it was for her mother to conceive for ten months, and she felt even more sorry for her mother because of the matter of her two brothers. Shen Laibao leaned over and hugged her and said, "Don't think too much, this kind of thing is not something we can control, we can accompany her more when we have time." By the way, let's make an appointment to eat crab together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"Hmm." Hua Ling moved her position, and noticed that he was moving out again, and she said, "In the morning, my mother mentioned it to me and asked us to sleep in separate rooms." ”

"So early?" Shen Laibao really felt that the family was very important to this child, and he was honest when he slept, and he wouldn't kick her at all. And he also knew that she didn't want to divide at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been close to him. What's more, he just went to the next room and let him sleep alone in such a big room?

"I politely declined, saying that it was not comfortable to sleep alone at night." Hua Ling smiled, "Let's wait for seven or eight months." ”

Shen Laibao answered, and also wanted to accompany her more, originally he was not often at home during the day, only tried his best to come back early at night and accompany her for a walk, and there was not much time left. The most talking, that is, in bed, without a crowd of subordinates following.

Thinking about it, he moved out again, and Hua Ling smiled, "Brother Laibao, why don't you find a craftsman tomorrow and make a bigger bed." And after the child is born, he will sleep between the two of us, and he will be old enough. ”

"That's good." Shen Laibao didn't want to leave her alone to sleep here, he said, "Also, when your belly is too big to turn over, I can still help you turn over." ”

"......" Hua Ling suddenly felt like a big fat man, and asked someone to help him turn around. She snorted, "Ignore you!" ”

Shen Laibao is inexplicable, where did he say the wrong thing?!

&&&&&

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Lang returned. The subordinates who had long been sent by the Liao family to watch the wind were guarding the city gate every day, and they would come back with the carriage in front of them, and run in to tell Hua Pingsheng and the Liao family.

Liao Shi smiled, "It's good to come back, let the young master come in quickly, and say that we are all waiting for him here." ”

The subordinate looked hesitant and whispered, "The young master can't come down by himself, so he has to call two guards." ”

Hua Pingsheng was stunned, "Injured?" Where did it hurt? ”

Liao was also shocked, got up and trotted out with him. As soon as he went out of the gate, he saw his son being helped by the coachman's attendant to get out of the carriage.

Hua Lang's face was completely pale, although he could walk, judging from his movements, it seemed that his back was seriously injured, and he couldn't even walk.

Liao's nose was sour, and he really wanted to beat him up, why was it so worry-free?

"Lang'er."

Hua Lang saw his father and mother and smiled happily, "Dad, mother." 166 Reading Network
