291 Daughter-in-law
After returning from his mother's house, Luo first freshened up and changed into another set of clothes, and then went to the main courtyard to ask his mother-in-law Liao for peace.
When he came to the main room, Luo saw that his sister-in-law Jian Shushi was also there, talking to his mother-in-law Liao.
Seeing Luo Shi coming in, Jian Shushi immediately stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you're back." ”
"Yes sister, I'm back. Mother, the daughter-in-law has returned home. Luo walked up to Liao and saluted respectfully.
Liao first asked her to sit down, and then asked, "How is my mother's health?" ”
"Mother's health is fine, thank you for your concern."
Liao Shi was relieved: "That's good." I heard that my mother-in-law accidentally contracted a cold and coughed, and I was still worried. Now that she's healthy, I'm relieved.
Didn't I say it before you went back to your parents' house? Qi'er has not returned to Jiangdong since he traveled to Jiangdong, so you can stay at your mother's house for a few more days to accompany your mother, you don't have to come back so early. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. ”
Luo Shi said softly: "The daughter-in-law is already the wife of the Jian family, so she naturally has to put her mother and husband first.
Although the husband has not returned from the study tour, it is also the daughter-in-law who should be by your side to take care of you, how dare she stay in her mother's house for a long time. ”
"You have a heart. You husband and wife have not been married for a long time, and they should have been newly married, but the chess pieces are running around, which is really a bit undesirable.
When Qi'er comes back from this trip, I will talk about him well, after all, I also want to hug my grandson as soon as possible. ”
Luo Shi blushed for a moment, and then suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "Husband is a person who does great things, so he naturally has his reasons. As his wife, the daughter-in-law should support her. ”
Liao is a person from the past, of course, he can see at a glance that this is against his will.
Unless there is no affection between the two parties, what new wife does not want her husband to be by her side more.
is not her boast of being a mother, her son Jian Shuqi is not only dignified, but also admitted to Tanhua at a young age, which can be described as both talented and beautiful, and has a bright future. If it weren't for returning to his hometown, he would still be serving in the Hanlin Academy.
It is natural for the daughter-in-law Luo to fall in love with her son after entering the door, and naturally hopes that her husband can always be by her side, which is also human nature.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Luo suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that in order to reduce the expenses of the imperial court, the number of new officials in various places this year will be much lower than in previous years, and it seems that this officialdom is becoming more and more difficult to enter."
Mother, I don't know when my husband plans to recover? ”
When Liao Shi heard this, he first glanced at her with scrutinizing eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the business of the masters, not the business of us women in the house."
You are the wife of Qi'er and the mistress of the house, so you should take care of your husband's body and preside over the middle feed.
As for when to recover, it is up to the chess players themselves to decide, and you should not ask about this matter in the future. ”
"Yes, mother." Luo replied with some grievances.
After Luo left, Liao was still frowning and thinking about it.
Jian Shushi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Mother, sister-in-law, what does this mean?" ”
Liao's face was a little uncertain and said: "This is not like a question that your sister-in-law will ask, if I guess correctly, it is most likely that her mother's family asked her to find out the news on her behalf."
It is estimated that her mother's family wants your eldest brother to get back to becoming an official as soon as possible, and then pull their son so that he can find an official position or something. ”
Jian Shushi said a little unconvinced: "But what does this have to do with the eldest brother, it's not the eldest brother's fault that their son can't get into the Jinshi and become an official, why should the eldest brother be revived for them." ”
"Silly girl, it's because your sister-in-law's brother has never been able to pass the Jinshi exam that someone in the officialdom needs to pull him up.
Otherwise, if he wants to be an official, he will not be able to enter the officialdom without a backstage and connection. At most, it's just a non-mainstream official such as a teacher and a county lieutenant. ”
"Then you shouldn't force your eldest brother to recover because of this. When the eldest brother wants to recover, it should be up to him to decide. ”
Liao nodded and said, "I think so too, so I never ask your eldest brother about when to get back up, everything is up to him to decide." ”
In fact, Liao has reservations about whether his son should be reinstated as an official.
Even a woman like her who is in the house can see that this court is by no means the court that was politically and harmoniously in the period of Emperor Jing'an.
Not to mention the entire southern region occupied by the Hu people, there were civil unrest in various places because of the continuous tax increases.
As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the Xie family and others headed by An Guogong who are now in charge of the government. As for the newly enthroned Emperor He'an, he was just a puppet emperor.
Liao still remembers that when he was in the capital, the Detective Office did all kinds of evil things to the families of many officials in the name of arresting traitors and the panic caused by this.
This is a typical traitor in the history books, and the faint king is incompetent.
Let his son become an official again in this situation, Liao feels that it is not a good thing.
and the tragic experience of her close friend Cheng Enhou's wife, the Zhang family, is also one of the main reasons for Liao's resistance.
However, as the so-called son is not up to his mother, if her son really wants to recover, then she can only follow his wishes.
But for now, Qi'er doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of reviving, but often runs around in the name of study tours, and I don't know what he's busy with.
Liao believed that his son was a measured person, so he didn't interfere much even if he ran around.
After all, the son has grown up, so he will naturally have his own little secrets.
Even if she is a mother-in-law, she shouldn't ask about everything.
Liao Shi thought for a while before saying: "Your sister-in-law is knowledgeable and polite, honest and supple, and it is suitable for your eldest brother."
That's why I let her in.
It was only after she entered the door that I found that she was a little soft-eared, unassertive, and easy to listen to others, which I didn't like.
However, as the saying goes, no one is perfect, and this is not a big deal.
As long as my mother-in-law is looking at the backyard, there will naturally be no major problems.
I care more about you than about her.
In a few months, you'll be married.
When my mother thought of whether you could love each other after marrying into the Pan family, and whether your in-laws and concubines were easy to get along with, this made my mother worried. ”
Jian Shushi's nose was sour, and she couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms and choked up: "Mother, I can't bear you and my eldest brother." ”
Liao Shi hugged his daughter and said with red eyes: "My mother is reluctant to let you go, but when the so-called woman gets married, you always have to get married."
You can rest assured, no matter who you marry, you will always be your mother's daughter and your eldest brother's only sister, and this will never change.
The Jane family is not only your mother's family, but also your backer.
If you have suffered any grievances, send someone to tell us, and your mother and your eldest brother will definitely stand on your side to help you, do you hear? ”
"Well......" Jian Shushi was already crying silently.
