Chapter 178: Taking office

The eldest aunt secretly sent a letter to her husband, telling her that her mother-in-law wanted to live with her nephew or not. On the second day, the uncle of the Liu family ran over without going to the yamen.

The old lady wanted to live with her grandson, but when she heard that her son was coming, she hid in the house and didn't come out.

The uncle of the Liu family went directly to the old lady's bedroom with a bitter face, and looked at the mother who was lying on the bed with a wet handkerchief on her forehead and closed her eyes and pretended to be sick, and cried directly.

"The son is really unfilial, you can't stay by your side when you are sick, thinking that your son was not by your side when your mother was sick so many years ago, the son was ashamed, and the son had no face to face the dead father! The son is not filial! ”

The uncle choked up as he spoke, and the old lady lying on the bed took two deep breaths uneasily and told her that she couldn't compromise. It's good that she lives here, anyway, it's so close, her son will come over when he's okay in the future, and it's good to be able to guard her good grandson!

"Grandpa's father has doted on his son since he was a child, and every time he is sick, his mother always stays in front of the bed and waits for his son to get better, and prepares his son's favorite white fungus soup. The son studied hard, and he wanted to make his mother a wife and make others envy you. It's a pity that my son is useless, and I haven't asked you for so many years, but, mother, don't worry, my son will definitely make everyone envy you in a few years if he takes a step forward! ”

The old lady heard that her son had suffered outside for so many years all to earn her life, and she moved uneasily. Her eldest son will always be her pride!

"Mother, you don't know how bitter my son is in his heart, those people outside laugh at me every day for not having a son. When my son heard it, he couldn't tell anyone else, and he felt so uncomfortable. As soon as you entered Kyoto, they laughed at our family as a countryman from the mountains, and in the past two days, I heard that you live here and don't live with your son, saying that your son is not filial and does not support his mother, and he also said that he would let the imperial history give a letter to the saint and dismiss his son's official. However, it is good that my son will be able to serve you in the future! ”

The uncle was still chattering miserably, and the old lady was lying on the bed and listening to her son's unsatisfactory life, so she didn't care about pretending to be sick and sat up directly, holding her son's hand and crying.

"My son has suffered! Mother listens to you and goes back with you. Don't let those people gossip about you! Mother don't die. My son is very happy to be a big official, and he doesn't need to be ordered at all! Seeing her son smiling, the old lady couldn't help but complain, "Who are your colleagues!" After reading the books of the sages for so many years, they are talking about people behind their backs! ”

Seeing that the mother was willing to go back and live with them. Uncle couldn't help but laugh. looked at the anxious mother and hurriedly said, "Mother." Shall we be right back? My son has prepared a Hongjin Courtyard for you, and there are a lot of beautiful koi fish in the pond, you must like it! ”

Looking at his son with bright eyes and a begging face. The old lady searched for a circle but couldn't find her good grandson, and the old lady couldn't help but say, "Why don't you wait for your good grandson to come over and talk to him before leaving?" ”

The smile on the uncle's face instantly wilted, and his face was full of loneliness, "Mother really still thinks that her son is unfilial and doesn't want to live with her son!" ”

Seeing her son hanging his head and being decadent, the old lady was distressed again, and hurriedly patted her son's arm and said, "Let's go immediately!" Let's go! ”

"Hey!" The uncle of the Liu family responded and hurriedly beckoned his daughter-in-law to come in to dress and freshen up his mother, and he also took shoes for his mother to wear.

Seeing her son with mottled white hair on his head kneeling on one knee to put on his shoes, the old lady couldn't help crying with a whimper, and said again and again: "My son is the most filial, no one is filial to you, my mother will go back with you, and my mother will live with you in the future!" ”

"Hey! Listen to Mother! Listen to your mother! The uncle and aunt of the Liu family responded again and again.

The eldest aunt has been free for so many years, so she naturally doesn't like to have an extra mother-in-law to take care of her, but she knows her husband's expectations, and sincerely hopes that her mother-in-law will go to live with them at home.

The two cleaned up quickly, and there was such a spy as Mama Rong, who originally belonged to the uncle, so they quickly packed up and got into the carriage and left in a hurry after saying hello to Du Xiaoxi, who had not yet reacted.

In the evening, Liu Erye and Liu Yao came back, and it was even strange to see that only Du Xiaoxi greeted them at the door.

Second Master Liu glanced around the quiet courtyard and couldn't help asking, "Xi girl, where did your mother-in-law go?" ”

"Uncle took home, grandma said that she would live with uncle's family in the future!"

Hearing Du Xiaoxi say this, the two of them are not in a hurry, a few years ago, the eldest brother often wrote that he wanted to take his mother to be raised, but the mother did not agree, and now it is reasonable to live with the eldest brother when they are close.

A few days passed in a hurry.

Not to mention that the old lady who is pulled by her eldest daughter-in-law every day to make new clothes in Kyoto and goes to various banquets regrets not wanting it, and mutters in her heart to tell her son to go to live with her grandson.

Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao were busy dizzy, eager to have two more hands.

Liu Yao's new official took office, although he has been with Pang Xinghua for a few days, several deputies in the yamen also know each other, and there are also masters specially found by the uncle to follow, but after all, Liu Yao has no experience Liu Yao goes out early and returns late every day, striving to get familiar with the things in the county yamen as soon as possible.

Du Xiaoxi was busy cleaning up the county government's back house, and the yard was always occupied, so he didn't have to worry about being unpopular. However, the things left by the family members of the previous county commander should be thrown away, replaced and replaced, and the layout of the house should also be moved according to their preferences.

The female protagonist is inside and the male protagonist is outside, and the two quickly adapt to it. ‘

A few days later, he moved into the county back house, Liu Yao also got acquainted with his colleagues, Liu Erye went back to Shanshui County because of business matters, and the two closed the door and lived a two-person world. During the day, Liu Yao went to the yamen, Du Xiaoxi took the girl to the street to eat, drink and have fun, waiting for Mu Xiu to go to Kyoto to see the old lady and uncle, and the small life was full and happy.

On this day, it was Mu Xiu again, and the two packed up their things and went home.

In April, spring has already begun in the north, and the farmers in the fields that have just thawed are busy turning the dried manure into the ground, and the cattle and sheep that have been locked up for a winter are also driven out by the children to gnaw the tender grass half a finger high.

Du Xiaoxi leaned on Liu Yao's arms and fell asleep, and walked all the way towards Kyoto City.

When passing through the East City Gate, Du Xiaoxi would subconsciously bend his ears to stop the movement outside, but unfortunately he never met the person who had the same voice as Du Xiaoxi's brother in his previous life.

The uncle of the Liu family is the head of the household department, and he lives in Jingzhong Hutong, where the household officials gather, and the carriage enters the alley and stops in the middle to the Liu Mansion of the uncle's family.

It's still the season when the nights are long and the days are short, and it takes more than an hour to walk from Hongxing County to Kyoto, and the two of them just happened to have dinner when they arrived.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the old lady ran over directly, pulling her ruddy-faced grandson and sighing routinely, the grandson has lost weight, and he wants to eat more today.

Liu Yao took Du Xiaoxi to simply freshen up and then came out to have a meal, and the bowl that had just sat down in Liu Yao was full of old ladies who favored her grandson.

Du Xiaoxi glanced at Liu Yao, who was frowning and burying his head in hard work, picked up the baked cakes on the table and nibbled on them.

Du Xiaoxi loved to eat pasta under the influence of his previous life, Liu Yao lived in Du's house for three years and was slowly assimilated, the two did not like to eat soft rice noodles and rice noodles, but they loved chewy noodles, baked cakes and steamed buns also loved to eat, there was an old shop near the city gate, after eating once, Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi had to take a few home to eat every time they came back.

In fact, Du Xiaoxi likes to eat a soft layer on the outside, and Liu Yao likes to eat the round white and soft inner core inside.

After taking care of the dishes in her grandson's bowl, the old lady turned her head to look at Du Xiaoxi, who had been nibbling on the baked cake for a while, and looked at Du Xiaoxi from head to toe with a light comparable to X-rays in her eyes, and the highlight was Du Xiaoxi's stomach covered by clothes.

The old lady smiled with a loving smile on her face, looked at Du Xiaoxi's stomach fixedly, and said firmly: "Does the girl have no appetite and don't want to eat?" ”

Without waiting for Du Xiaoxi to answer, he then asked: "I don't look good at it, is it easy to get sleepy and want to sleep?" ”

Du Xiaoxi swept his eyes, and Liu Yao, who was buried in hard work but red at the tips of his ears, shook his head again and again.

She is so tired to blame someone who tossed her last night, it's really snapping and not choosing the right time, every time it's Mu Xiu to come twice, the next day before dawn to get up to rush here is not tired!

Du Xiaoxi knew that the old lady was looking forward to her pregnancy, and every time she came out like this, she was afraid that the old lady would make trouble again, so Du Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "No! No! Grandma, I just didn't sleep well last night, nothing else, no need to find a doctor! ”

For giving birth to a baby of her own, Du Xiaoxi didn't feel that she needed contraception at a young age, Du Xiaoxi adhered to the principle of going with the flow, and she was not in a hurry without her, and she would be born if she had.

Seeing that Du Xiaoxi was so sure, the smile on the old lady's face fell, and she pouted unhappily: "You have been married for more than half a year, why is there no news at all?" If it weren't for Du Xiaoxi being the daughter-in-law chosen by Master Xile for his good grandson, she would have been unable to help but reprimand this useless daughter-in-law.

The old lady looked at Du Xiaoxi and didn't eat much, and lowered her head directly, glanced at Liu Yao, who stopped with her, and said softly: "Good grandson, eat more, if you don't eat enough, let people go again." ”

Liu Yao shook his head with a smile and sat with Du Xiaoxi to listen to the old lady.

"Good grandson, you are now in your twenties, and you can't go on like this forever, grandma has chosen a few good little ladies for you, and you will take them away when you go back. If one of them is happy, the other sons and grandchildren will come one after another, just like jumping beans. “

Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao raised their heads in unison, and their faces were in disbelief, even the uncle and aunt of the Liu family who were sitting next to them as the background wall couldn't help but look over.
