116. Guilt, old things at home

Standing at the door of the house, the mother and son gazed affectionately, in which, what you see is a strong family affection, I haven't seen it for three years, but it seems that the time stopped yesterday, frozen in an instant, I don't know how long it has been, it may be a moment, or it may be several hours, Zhao Xuan weakly said to his mother: "Mother, I'm hungry!"

Hearing that Zhao Xuan was hungry, Zhao Niang burst into tears and laughed, "You kid, come on, come in, come in, there is food in the house!"

"Huh!" agreed, and Zhao Xuan followed his mother into the house.

Zhao Xuan entered the door and found that the home was no different from before, but his gorgeous outfit was a little out of tune.

Zhao Xuan looked around and shouted at his mother, who was busy in the kitchen, "Mother, don't I send money home every month?" Why is the house still so dilapidated? Also, why are you still wearing those old clothes? Huh? By the way, what about my dad? Why didn't I see him? ”

Zhao Niang, who was busy in the kitchen, complained a little, "You kid! It's a slippery mouth when you become an official, right, there are so many questions in a row, which one should you let me answer first? ”

Zhao Xuan smiled, "It's okay, take your time, your son and I will be at home for the past two days to accompany you and your father!" ”

Zhao Niang poked her head out in her free time, "What's wrong?" Resigned and went home? That's not going to work, go back quickly! I said, why did you come back when you were an official in a foreign country! Go back! The more Zhao Niang spoke, the more excited she became, and she came out of the kitchen in a panic and pushed Zhao Xuan out.

Being made by his mother like this, Zhao Xuan was a little ridiculous, and while hugging his mother home, he said: "Mother, I am promoted back to the capital, the saint personally promoted me to the official, my term of office has just expired in less than three years, and I have been promoted back to Beijing."

Hearing Zhao Xuan say this, Zhao Niang put her mind at ease and returned to the house with Zhao Xuan.

"You kid, why are you still talking so headless, you are like this, how can your subordinates believe in you?" Zhao Niang said a little angrily.

Seeing that his mother was discouraged, Zhao Xuan hurriedly said with a hippie smile: "Yes, yes, my mother is right, but I, if I come back from being demoted, then I won't live with my father!" Anyway, I have done so much now, and the Holy Lord and those high-ranking officials have rewarded me with enough money, which is enough for us to live in peace and stability for a lifetime. ”

"Alas, you child..."Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, which parents don't know their children's problems, although they say so, but in fact, his heart still hopes that the child will come back, everyone knows that if the official does not have a completely smooth character, it is easy to be demoted.

And if you offend any big officials again, or offend your own backstage, then you won't even know how you died, and who can understand this kind of thing.

Zhao Xuan looked around, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, where is my father?"

Zhao Niang paused for a moment, and then said: "Your father, the last time the patriarch came to rebuild the ancestral hall of our clan, your father didn't think about it, anyway, the money you sent back was useless, your father thought about it for a while, and planned to take out half of the silver taels you sent over to the patriarch to build the ancestral hall, your father is now supervising the work, and it is estimated that he will come back in the evening."

Zhao Xuan thought about it for a while, and felt that he was indeed doing something not very good, after all, when his family was poor, the people in the clan would help Zhao Xuan and their family, and now that he has been famous for a long time, he has not contributed to the clan, and Zhao Xuan himself has begun to feel that he has become more and more snobbish and selfish in the past three years.

Raising his head, he looked at his mother with some shame, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, although Zhao Niang is from the countryside, her nature is simple, and she can't use it, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't know how to be sophisticated, how can she not see her son's thoughts.

Gently patted him on the shoulder, Zhao Niang said with tenderness: "I know you feel ashamed in your heart, don't worry, your father and I have already helped you cover up the past, after all, who doesn't want to hear others say good things about their son, we are doing things, you can rest assured!" ”

Hearing his mother say this, Zhao Xuan's expression eased slightly, he was not afraid of his bad reputation, it didn't matter if his reputation was good or not, he would always think of doing something for the clan in the future, but his parents now live here, how could Zhao Xuan let the old two be ashamed?

Although his face did not show it, Zhao Xuan felt even more guilty in his heart.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan's expression had stretched a lot, Zhao Niang also put her mind at ease, and said to Zhao Xuan again: "By the way, Xuan'er, you have reached the year of the weak crown, presumably the ceremony has not been held yet!" ”

Zhao Xuan nodded, "Yes, the ceremony of the weak crown has not been held yet, mother, I forgot if you don't say it." ”

Indeed, in the past three years, Zhao Xuan has been busy with those messy cases every day, even if he has time, he just goes out to relax, and the time every day is almost full, and after Zheng Yan was cut off by Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xuan is even busier every day, and he has to do the work of his master, and he doesn't even have a chance to relax.

Zhao Niang nodded, stood up suddenly, and suddenly remembered that the pot on the table had not been served yet, "I patronized and talked to you, the pot is probably going to boil!" Zhao Niang ran towards the kitchen as she spoke.

After a while, Zhao Niang poked her head out and shouted at Zhao Xuan a little anxiously: "Xuan'er, come over quickly, the pot is boiling!" ”

Zhao Xuan knew that his mother didn't dare to touch hot things since he was conscious, and he thought he wouldn't dare to touch it when he was young.

But once when his father went out with his grandfather, when Zhao Xuan was at home with his mother, Zhao Xuan accidentally knocked over the candle on the table to the ground, and the ground "soared" and burst into flames, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Niang had never touched such a thing, they were very flustered, plus Zhao Niang was afraid of hot things, and he was forced to use his shoes to extinguish the fire on the ground.

And it was from that day that Zhao Xuan began to be not afraid of hot things, let alone fire, of course, Zhao Xuan did not have that kind of preference* for ignition.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Xuan did not panic, first took out the coal in the furnace, and after the water in the pot was no longer boiling, Zhao Xuan found two pieces of cloth, grabbed the two handles of the pot and put them aside.

Fortunately, the stove in Zhao Xuan's house is a small stove made of loess, and the pot is not very large, otherwise it would have really suffered this time......
