Chapter 9: Thin Father-Son Relationship
Jiang Zuiyao had already relieved herself at the moment, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, not only felt a hot pain in her neck, but also a pain in her throat, and she had to be careful when swallowing and spitting. As a doctor, Jiang Zuiyao knew that this was not a serious injury, and it would be good to recuperate for a few days.
Shaojiang looked at Jiang Zuiyao, who was pale, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao shook his head: "I'm fine." ”
Shaojiang's property is rich and rivals the country, and he is an imperial businessman, and he has the position of a second-grade Guanglu doctor, which is a royal guest, and he must be busy all day long, and the affairs of the house have always been handed over to his wife to manage, and he rarely asks, so that Jiang Zuiyao has been married for a year, and this is the first time he has entered Jiang Zuiyao's residence.
Feng is still smart in the end, knowing that Shaojiang has returned home, he quickly went to make a small report, crying and wiping tears under the pitiful, just to prevent Shao Ziqing from taking advantage of this time to make trouble, and Shaojiang, a grandfather, can't see his grandson suffering, so he hurried over.
Shao Jiang didn't ask how wronged Jiang Zuiyao was, but said: "Heng'er's illness will bother you in the future, and the Feng family told me that it is your credit to be able to save Heng'er's life today." ”
Jiang Zuiyao never thought of asking for credit, she chose to save Shao Heng for herself at the beginning, but when she saw that such a young child as Shao Heng was dying, as a doctor, she couldn't see death without help, and replied: "Heng'er is also my nephew, I still have some medical skills, so I can't sit idly by." ”
Shaojiang nodded with satisfaction: "At this point, you are better than Ziqing." ”
Shao Ziqing glanced at Jiang Zuiyao in displeasure, and when Shao Jiang saw it, he said angrily: "Did she say something wrong?" What do you have to be unhappy about? ”
Now, Shao Ziqing can see that his father also wants Shao Heng to stay in the East Courtyard, so he doesn't say anything anymore.
Shao Heng hugged Jiang Huai's neck, and his immature voice sounded: "Grandfather, my aunt is very good to me, I used my aunt's medicine, and now my chest doesn't hurt so much, my aunt said that she will cure my illness." ”
Shao Heng's words were not light, and Shao Jiang became more and more determined to let Shao Heng stay, so he said: "Okay, Heng'er will stay in the East Courtyard in the future, and I have promised your mother that he can come to the East Courtyard to visit you from time to time." ”
Shao Heng nodded, stretched out his finger to show Shao Jiang, and said aggrievedly: "Grandfather, look, my hands are torn." ”
Shao Jiang saw that Shao Heng's fingers were indeed torn apart, and he glared at the servant unhappily, and the servant was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's a little inappropriate, it hurts the little young master, and I hope the old man will forgive him." ”
Shaojiang yelled at the servant: "If you dare to hurt Heng'er in the slightest in the future, I will ask someone to break your legs!" ”
The servant was instantly frightened, and said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, the little one doesn't dare anymore." ”
Shaojiang did this for Shao Ziqing to see, so that he would be restrained in the future.
Shao Jiang then handed Shao Heng to Jiang Zuiyao, and his tone softened: "Heng'er will be handed over to you to take care of in the future." ”
Jiang Zuiyao held Shao Heng in his arms and replied: "Father, don't worry, I will take care of my nephew as a good student, but I have one condition." ”
Shaojiang thought that Jiang Zuiyao was going to make some harsh requirements, and frowned slightly, "What conditions?" ”
"I want to enjoy what the young lady should have, at least I can't eat leftovers, and I can't live the life of a human being anymore." , Jiang Zuiyao tossed this experience today, and was almost strangled to death by Shao Ziqing, in order to be able to abandon the hard days of the past, Shao Ziqing has always respected his father, if Shaojiang came forward, he couldn't stop him.
This requirement is nothing to Shaojiang, he nodded, looked at Jiang Zuiyao and said: "You have to take care of yourself in the future, you are so thin, but you can't do it." ”
In Jiang Zuiyao's memory, she rarely could talk to her mother-in-law's father, and she rarely met her, so she didn't know much about Shaojiang, so she nodded and responded: "Got it." ”
Shaojiang added: "The Feng family has told me about the affairs of the Eastern Courtyard, don't worry, I will make the decision for you." ”
Shao Jianghui's tone was very light, but the weight was very heavy, Jiang Zuiyao knew that she could finally abandon the hard life she had in the past.
Shao Jiang then said to Shao Ziqing: "You come out with me, I have something to say." ”
Shao Ziqing followed Shaojiang out of the east courtyard and found a secluded place, Shaojiang said with a gloomy face: "If I don't arrive in time today, will our Shao family notify Shangshu Mansion to collect the body?" ”
Indeed, Shaojiang went to deal with the business in the south, and as soon as he entered the mansion and heard what Feng said, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurried over.
Shao Ziqing's brows tightened slightly, "She forced me." ”
Where can this kind of words prevaricate Shaojiang, Shaojiang said coldly: "What are you forced to do?" Forcing you to kill her? Will a good big living person seek death? Take a good look at yourself, a good girl's house, you are tortured by you and you are skinny! ”
Shao Ziqing didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, and said stubbornly: "That's what she did!" When I was bad, I designed her lightly, so dirty, and you still want me to be good to her? ”
Shaojiang breathed a deep sigh of relief: "This matter, what she did is indeed wrong, but it has been so long, why are you still obsessed?" Now that the Hubu Shangshu is in the limelight in the court, if I hear that my concubine is living such a life in the Shao family, what face do you let me face in the court? ”
Shao Ziqing looked at his father, for this father, in his eyes, he has always been mean, he has never understood him, his father always wants him to obey, as if he is an emotionless person, everything only divides the pros and cons, and never considers his feelings.
Shao Ziqing was puzzled, he was extremely confused, and asked painfully: "Why?" ”
The sudden question made Shao Jiang not know what Shao Ziqing was asking, he was slightly stunned, and looked at him suspiciously.
Shao Ziqing said: "Why does my father never understand me? ”
Shao Jiang's eyes then dimmed: "You are the eldest son of the Shao family." ”
Eight short words, an answer that is omitted to the point that it can no longer be omitted, but it covers a thousand words.
Shao Ziqing's heart was cold, in the past 20 years, he has endured too much and given up too much because of his identity as the eldest son.
He was tired, tired.
But at this moment, his father didn't care about his thoughts, and he used to call the shots: "You should know that the taxes of the fields in Jiangnan are now under the control of the household department, and his concubine Jiang Ningyao is now the concubine next to His Majesty, so don't treat Jiang Zuiyao harshly anymore." ”
After saying this, Shao Jiang no longer waited for Shao Ziqing to reply, turned around and left.
Shao Ziqing looked at his father's distant back, feeling strange and familiar, his father was clearly standing in front of him, but he didn't feel a trace of closeness.
Once upon a time, when he was a child, he used to laugh at his father's knees, he used to sit on his father's knees and coquettishly, it was all so warm in his mind, but it felt so long.
Perhaps, the original closeness is long gone.
"Young Master, are you still going to see the Young Lady?"
Linghui's sudden appearance interrupted Shao Ziqing's thoughts, he glanced at Jiang Zuiyao's house in disgust, and said in disgust: "I'm not going." ”
Throwing down this sentence, Shao Ziqing wandered towards the study.
