Chapter 170: Good Boy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Father, don't blame the little sister." The uncle sitting on the chair said loudly: "If it weren't for the nephew's chance, she would be subject to Xu He's house, how dare she come back." β
Women in this era were too dependent on their husbands. Even if you are financially independent, you are still psychologically dependent. Always hold the idea of marrying a chicken with a chicken and a dog with a dog, from the beginning. I attach too much importance to my name, for fear of being abandoned by my husband. If it weren't for the fact that his son Yuan Zuo became more and more promising, so that Shen, a mother, could rely on it, I am afraid that things like going home would have to be delayed.
Xu Yuanzuo can understand what his uncle means, and he knows very well that there is a balance between his parents. In a state of equilibrium, no matter how much the mother makes trouble and scolds, she will not leave the family behind. No matter how resentful and hateful his father is, he will not divorce his wife and beat him.
Once the balance is overwhelmed and the balance is broken, the home is ruined.
Xu Yuanzuo's rise was the trigger, so Xu's mother proposed to return to the province after her son's reputation grew.
-- That's the truth, but it's shameless for you to make such a direct personal attack on my unsuccessful and vulgar father!
Xu Yuanzuo glared at his uncle, teleported away, and looked at his grandfather again.
Although my grandfather's tone was fierce, full of licking the calf, he stretched out his hand and trembled: "Hurry up." Two little grandchildren came over to me to watch. β
Only then did Xu Mu stand up, gently nudge Yuan Zuo Liangzuo, and told them to step forward.
Liang Zuoben was a little frightened, and was pulled by Xu Yuanzuo, and finally stepped forward, standing beside his grandfather on the left and right.
Grandpa stroked Liangzuo's back: "Okay, good grandson, there is aura." He landed a pair of cloudy eyes on Xu Yuanzuo again, and reached out to hold Yuanzuo's hand and just said, "Okay."
The old woman on the side, the grandmother, said, "You can sit too." β
Mother Xu was slightly blessed and sat on the chair.
Xu Yuanzuo knew that his mother was a concubine, and it seemed that he was not born by this maternal grandmother. Such indifference is reasonable.
"I heard that you were hit by the case, okay, it's not easy at a young age!" The old lady took Xu Yuanzuo's hand and didn't let go.
Xu Yuanzuo was half surprised and half delighted that the news reached the Shen family. I am surprised that the Shen family is so well-informed, and I am glad that this title may not add any more luster to myself.
Mother Xu said: "Yuan Zuo also compiled a set of books, and even his uncle Shaohu Gong praised it. β
Since the Shen family knew that Xu Yuanzuo had won the case, most of them would not know the news of the continuation of the two families. For businessmen. The influence of a case leader is far less than the influence of Zaifu's relatives, and it is likely that the news of Xu Yuanzuozhong's case is still brought about by the continuation of the genealogy of the joint sect, and in the end he is not the head of Chongming County.
Old lady Shen said: "There is a kind of wisdom, wealth and roots, the ancestors bless, this son can be expected." β
Xu Yuanzuo secretly looked at everyone. I saw that the eldest uncle was embarrassed, and the second uncle was smiling. The grandmother's expression was so deep that she couldn't see what was going on in her heart. But this is enough to prove that she doesn't like her daughter, at most she doesn't hate it.
Mother Xu said again: "This time I came back to pay my father's birthday, and I also brought some small gifts to the family. β
The two uncles said one after another: "It's good if you can come back, why be so polite." β
My grandmother said, "I heard that my son-in-law is not doing his job properly and his family is in tatters, what kind of face do you have in front of your own family?" β
Xu Mudeng's face was embarrassed and she lowered her head.
Xu Yuanzuo is a 'hairy boy' anyway, what about the rudeness? He smiled and said, "Thank you grandmother for your pity." However, my mother said: This birthday celebration is an extraordinary day, and when relatives go around, they always have to witness the filial piety of the juniors. Money is secondary. β
Xu Mu laughed dryly: "Exactly." β
"That's what I mean," my grandmother said indifferently, "It's all your own family, don't you know your 'filial piety'?" What is the waste of that money? β
Xu Yuanzuo saw that the more he said this, the more ugly it became: No matter who was right and who was wrong at that time, his mother couldn't divorce her husband and run back to her parents' house for the rest of her life, right? Maybe I had a sister at that time? How can this be considered unfilial? At best, when making life choices, I couldn't resist the pressure of mainstream culture.
"Maternal grandfather. I asked for a congratulatory gift for you. Xu Yuanzuo pretended not to understand what his grandmother meant, turned his head and smiled at his grandfather.
Old lady Shen was overjoyed, and said secretly: My daughter must be very sad without the help of the family. How good this is, most of the gifts that my grandson asks for will not be too expensive.
"Grandpa couldn't wait. Tell someone to show me! Old Lady Shen stood up and said with a smile.
The servant of the Xu family immediately held a long cardboard box. Xu Yuanzuo opened the box, called Liangzuo's helper, and carefully opened the banner, but it was a four-foot banner.
"People who have traveled all over Qingshan are not old...... Wonderful sentence! The uncle also came up, read the sentence on the banner aloud, and slapped his hands in admiration.
Old lady Shen was even more happy, read it word by word, and said, "This sentence is well written, who wrote it?" β
The uncle pointed to the right paragraph and read it for his father: "'For the birthday of Shen Gong Huajia in Yingzhou, record the sentence of Xiaoyou Xu's Ziyuan, please reward it'." It turned out that the virtuous nephew wrote a sentence and asked someone to write it. β
Yingzhou is the elegant name of Chongming, and it is the common name of Xiandao, how auspicious and elegant is it used to celebrate birthday? Old lady Shen is even more of a series of good words.
Xu Yuanzuo explained with a smile: "It sounds like a blessing like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan, which is very clichΓ©d. The grandson wanted to use this sentence, but he just said it directly: Grandpa was bathed in wind and rain, walked all over the green mountains, and swam all over the world. In the next year, let's talk about 'old age is coming'. β
Sixty is already considered an advanced age at this time, but Xu Yuanzuo said that he is "not old", and he has to wait until the next sixtieth year old - one hundred and twenty years old to say "old is coming", which is really comforting to hear.
Grandpa and the two uncles laughed for a while, and said that Xu's mother gave birth to a good son, and said that Xu Yuanzuo was really filial. Even my grandmother, who had been cold-faced, was relieved and smiled faintly.
"This sentence is used to congratulate the birthday, but it is not a bit of pride." The second uncle stepped forward to read the words and commented: "Look at this strength and strength, opening and closing, slow and orderly, vivid and very, it must be a master's handwriting!" β
The uncle looked at the inscription on the lower left side and read: "Tu Wei is a great wilderness and a young man, spring, Jiang Youzhen Ji is here." Well? β
Xu Yuanzuo was already stunned.
It is said that the second uncle Shen Benjing is in charge of the Shen family's business and seems to be an accomplished businessman, but listening to him comment on calligraphy, he is not a layman. Why did my uncle, a scholar who was dedicated to reading, make such a joke?
- I didn't come all the way to slap my face, and I didn't expect to see how much I read, you can't force me to pretend to be like this!
Xu Yuanzuo shouted in his heart, hoping that no one would care about this embarrassing scene and confuse it. But he didn't forget to add in his heart: Actually, I'm really awesome.
It's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, and the uncle asked seriously: "Virtuous nephew, what does 'Tu Wei Great Wilderness Luozhong' mean?" (To be continued......)
