Chapter 376: The Old Mother's Teachings
As the saying goes, a person ascends to heaven with a chicken and a dog, Zhang Ke has become the Marquis of Dingliao, and the old lady and his wife have become super ladies. It's even more troublesome to go out, and you have to line up half the street just by driving.
The Shen family has always been thrifty and housekeeping, and he can't stand the pomp, and Xiaoxue is even more obedient to the old lady, and he will never go out. The higher the status, the more restrictions there are, which makes Shen extremely uncomfortable.
When her son came back, she was overjoyed, and she didn't care about the dissuasion of the servant, so she cooked by herself, picked up Zhang Ke's favorite dishes and made a big table.
The family sat around, and Shen looked at the maids and waved at them.
"You all go down, the kitchen has prepared a table for you, and if you don't go, it will be cold."
The maids nodded hurriedly, but none of them dared to leave, and peeked at Zhang Ke.
"What? Don't listen to the old lady's words anymore? ”
"Slaves don't dare!" The maids hurriedly lowered their heads.
Zhang Ke waved his hand impatiently, and the maids slipped away obediently as if they had seen a cat's mouse. Shen looked at their backs and said with a smile: "Ke'er is still majestic, usually the old body talks about them, what rules do they say, rules, I don't see me in their eyes, there are rules!" I don't know who is in charge of this Hou Mansion! ”
Xiaoxue said: "Mother, what they said may not be wrong, it is not often said in the drama that Houmen is as deep as the sea, Brother Ke (sealed Hou Ye, so many people are staring at him, unruly, undecent, and will be laughed at by others if he spreads out.) ”
Shen looked at his daughter-in-law with a ruddy face, and couldn't help laughing: "Listen, Xiaoxue, this girl just knows how to give you a long face, so she is not afraid of making trouble for her mother!" ”
It can be seen that the old lady is angry.
Zhang Ke smiled and said: "Mother, don't wronged yourself when you are old, we are not under the nose of the capital, just be happy." No one dares to chew on the root of their tongue. To put it mildly, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and the same is true for housekeepers, those maids don't like it, just take care of the lessons of the family law! ”
When Shen heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, "I can't help it, I can't help it, who is not raised by his parents, and the old body can't do it." ”
Hui'er, who was sitting by the door, suddenly pouted disapplausively. complained: "Mother is too kind-hearted, it's just that last time the two maids actually dropped Yan'er into the well, just expelled her." If it were someone else's house, it would have been killed a long time ago! ”
Hui'er is so young that she doesn't have a door in her mouth, as soon as these words came out, Shen Shi and Xiaoxue's faces sank, and she was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue.
Zhang Ke paused, reached out and hugged his son Zhang Yan in his arms. It's rare that the little guy didn't cry, just kept his head down.
"Yan'er, are you afraid of falling into the well?" Zhang Ke asked casually.
The black eyes rolled, and the little guy suddenly said crisply: "Don't be afraid." Mother said, a man is not afraid of anything! ”
"Hahaha, it's my son!"
Zhang Ke laughed and touched his arms. He took out a string of glittering pearls, each the size of a quail egg, and stuffed it into his son's fat hand.
"Let's play with it
Each pearl of this size is worth at least a thousand taels of silver. A string of dozens, especially the largest one in the middle is still a night pearl, which is simply priceless. But the little Zhang Yan pouted and couldn't look at it at all.
"Mother, mother said, this, this, is worn by a woman."
Xiaoxue had a calm face and scolded: "Yan'er, what Daddy gave you, how can you dislike it?" ”
Xiao Zhang Yan is usually most afraid of his mother, and when he heard the scolding, he hurriedly lowered his head, grabbed the beads in his hand, and was silent.
"Yan'er, it's my father's mistake!" Zhang Ke hugged his poor son in front of him and said with a smile: "It's Daddy's negligence, how can you just take something and send Yan'er, Daddy apologizes to you, but Daddy didn't forget to prepare a gift for you." ”
Zhang Ke waved his hand, and the guards outside ran in, commanded a few words, and ran back after a while, holding a big box in his hand, panting.
Unfolded the box lightly, and everyone looked inside, especially Xiao Zhang Yan, who stared at the boss and was reluctant to blink.
Zhang Ke hugged his son over, took out things from the box, and put them in front of his son.
There are twenty-eight yellow and clear small animals, lions, tigers, wild bears, elephants, and even mules, horses, chickens and ducks, all of them, each of which is the size of a fist, and the workmanship is extremely fine, almost the same as life.
The most surprising thing is that each animal has a mechanism, as long as it is gently turned, the small animal can walk on the ground, not much, only eight steps.
But this was enough to make Xiao Zhang Yan dumbfounded, he had never seen such a fun thing, and suddenly stretched out two little fat hands, struggling to catch them.
But a big hand held him, and instead of letting him catch him, he walked backwards. The little guy flattened his mouth, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Yan'er, call Daddy to listen, as long as you scream, I'll let you play!"
God is pitiful, for the first time in his life, Young Master Zhang was threatened, his little black eyes stared at the guy in front of him, and then looked at the animals on the ground.
The little one finally compromised, and a voice as thin as a mosquito shouted.
"Daddy......"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Ke had never laughed so happily, and took the opportunity to kiss his son twice on the cheek, and the room was full of laughter......
After returning home, Zhang Ke completely changed a person, his wife and children stuck together every day, and he went to chat with his wife when he was free. However, he never mentioned the war, let alone the court.
For half a month, the whole family was immersed in joy.
That night, Zhang Ke went to his mother to say hello, Zhang Yan was like a koala, hugging his father's neck tightly, and after more than ten days, the little guy went from rejection to intimacy, and he couldn't leave his father for a moment, which made Xiaoxue jealous.
Sure enough, it's the same smell!
Zhang Ke came to Shen's room with a spring breeze on his face.
"Mother, I told the people below, I want to invite a few old palace maids from the capital to come over, they will serve people, and they can also do it, take good care of the maids and maids in the house, and save you trouble."
Shen nodded slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Ke'er, it's not that my mother can't pull her face, I just think that our family can get to this day, in addition to your ability, but also thanks to God's kindness to us, people can't forget their roots." Be kind to others, and be more attentive to the affairs of the court. There is a saying that if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, you have to keep it in mind. ”
The old lady has something to say, Zhang Ke suddenly sat up straight.
"Mother, have you heard any rumors?"
Shen let out a long sigh and said, "Don't blame the people below, I have listened to them talk about it in the past few days, saying that the imperial court has arrested many people and forced them to repair the city and build the Great Wall." Many people have been beheaded! ”
Shen Shi said, his face turned pale, and he asked tremblingly, "Ke'er, this, you didn't do it, right?" ”
"Of course not!" Zhang Ke shook his head without hesitation and said: "Mother, the child can only manage Jinzhou Fuzhou now, and it is Sun Ge's business to recruit and transfer people's husbands......
"Mother doesn't care about anyone's business!" Shen stared at Zhang Ke and said word by word: "Ke'er, you have become a big official, but you can't forget Ben!" (To be continued......) R1292
