Mai Dong saw that Yingchun was gone and entered the main house. Mrs. Sun was still holding a silver-inlaid jade magnifying glass and was looking at the tricks, and when Mrs. Sun saw Mai Dong coming in, she called Mai Dong with a smile: "Come here, see which of these two is better?" ”

Mai Dong walked over with a smile, took the two patterns in Mrs. Sun's hand, and looked at them carefully, "Old lady, I think it's still good for this plum blossom." ”

Mrs. Sun also looked at it for a while, and nodded with a smile, "It's really good," Mrs. Sun put down her tricks, leaned on the couch, and said leisurely: "The third daughter-in-law is still an understanding person." ”

Mai Dong smiled: "The slave maid also saw that the third lady understood, if she didn't say anything else, she could kneel down for you in front of our subordinates, and she didn't stick to the identity of the master mother, which is rare." ”

"No, if my Ying'er can be as knowledgeable as the third daughter-in-law, I will rest assured that she will go to the draft. But look at Ying'er, a girl's family, what did she say in front of the family?! I thought it was reasonable to have a full stomach, but I didn't even bow my head to me, although I said that she was forbidden to her feet, but as long as she confessed her mistake, do you think I can still be really serious? Whatever she says, I was born too. Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh, "Ying'er, this child, really made me spoiled, I'm afraid that marrying like this will also make my mother-in-law unhappy." ”

Mai Dong smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't have to worry like this, as the saying goes, who is the second girl, Xu is the second girl, the blessed person, the mother-in-law does not pick these, I don't know." ”

Mrs. Sun looked at Wan Hemei at the window, "How can there be a mother-in-law who doesn't want to be coaxed by her juniors, the second girl's temperament is not as good as half of the third daughter-in-law, I think she really married, it's really hard to say." ”

Sun Shaozu dismounted from outside the palace gate and walked to the inner courtyard.

It's spring, and a few little new greens have bloomed on the branches. Sun Shaozu suddenly thought of Yingchun's smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. This little wife is really cute.

Thinking of his wife, Sun Shaozu couldn't help but think of his master's words again, and his heart tightened. The master was already very dissatisfied with him, and what he cared about the whole family and what he did for his mother was only clear-that was a warning from the master. The master wants to tell him that his every move, including everything, is under his control, and if he can't complete the tasks assigned by the master, his family may not be able to live in peace.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu was cold, he knew the coldness of his master. And the master has always been a combination of grace and power, which is also a reason why he is afraid of the master, the master is always reminding him, don't forget your identity, don't forget the past, don't forget how you got it today.

……

"Third brother."

Sun Shaozu was thinking about it while walking, and suddenly heard someone calling him, Sun Shaozu looked up and saw that his second brother Sun Shaozhong was standing not far away and smiling shyly at him. Sun Shaozu took two quick steps and said with a smile: "Second brother, why are you so idle today?" ”

The second old man smiled solemnly, "I'm ...... I came to wait for the third brother. ”

Sun Shaozu looked at the second brother, who was silent on weekdays, but today he smiled a little flatteringly, Sun Shaozu raised his eyebrows, "The second brother has something to do with me?" ”

The second old man sneered, "I want to ask the third brother for help with something," the second old man glanced at Sun Shaozu, hung his head and held his hands together, "I, I want to learn in the shop in the capital at home, and I don't mean anything else, I just want to learn ......."

Sun Shaozu knew that with his understanding of his brother, this matter must not have been raised by the second brother, but should have been the idea of his second sister-in-law who was good at calculation. Seeing that the second brother was a little uneasy, Sun Shaozu couldn't bear it in his heart and laughed, "What the second brother thinks is also very true, the second brother has indeed been idle for all these years, and what should he learn, my mother didn't arrange it before, I thought that my mother thought that it would be good for our family to be harmonious, and I didn't think about it so much." Since the second brother has this idea, the second brother will go to my mother with me now, and the second brother will definitely help the second brother even if he mentions it. ”

The second master didn't expect that Sun Shaozu understood everything as soon as he said half of it, he was a little surprised, and then he was even more happy, "Really, really?" ”

"Naturally, second brother, let's go to my mother."

The second master finally smiled and nodded.

The two brothers came to Mrs. Sun's east courtyard together, the girl helped the two pick up the curtains, and the second master and Sun Shaozu walked into the main room one after another. Seeing the two of them coming together, Mrs. Sun smiled: "Why did you come together?" But what's the matter? ”

Sun Shaozu glanced at the second master encouragingly, and the second master stepped forward timidly and whispered, "Son, there is ...... I would like to ask my mother for instructions. ”

Listening to Sun Shaozhong's words, the smile on Mrs. Sun's face faded, "What's the matter?" ”

"My son wants to go to the shop in the capital to learn."

"Learn?" Mrs. Sun frowned and looked at the second master, the second master's eyes trembled, and he didn't dare to reply.

Sun Shaozu smiled and stepped forward: "That's the case, mother, I think that the second brother has been idle for so many years, although I take care of the shop in the capital, but I am busy with the affairs of the yamen, so the business in the shop is also very bleak, I want to let the second brother help me manage the shop, first, the second brother has something to do, and second, someone takes care of the shop, just so as not to distract me, after all, the things in the yamen are big." ”

After listening to Sun Shaozu's words, Mrs. Sun looked at Sun Shaozu, and then at the second master, and her face turned cold: "Whose idea is this?" ”

The second master was most afraid that Mrs. Sun would ask about this, and he lowered his head as much as he could, as if he wanted to clear himself as much as he could.

Sun Shaozu replied with a smile: "Naturally, it was my idea, mother, you just agreed." ”

Old Mrs. Sun snorted and said to the second master, "You go down first." ”

The second master immediately gave a salute and went out of the main room as soon as he met with an amnesty.

Seeing that the second old man had retreated, Mrs. Sun frowned and asked Sun Shaozu, "What do you think?" Do you want to run your shop in the second room? That's what I left for you. ”

Sun Shaozu laughed: "Mother, you are also stingy, think about it, I already have a Zhuangzi here, and the second brother really has nothing." In doing so, the mother thinks that the mother treats her children much thinner. Mother will now hand over the shop in the capital to the second brother to take charge of, it is not just given to him, the shop is still mine, let the second brother report to Sun Xi for a while, naturally he also grasps the situation in the shop, why not. ”

"Zu'er, it's not that I feel sorry for a shop, but you are a person who raises a large family, how much is your salary, I know in my heart, if I don't come to supplement you anymore, how can you afford it? I originally thought that when everyone settles down in the capital, I will also give your second brother and them a Zhuangzi, but I haven't said it yet. But now that I see you two coming together, I know it must not be your idea. Your second brother is okay, your second sister-in-law's little abacus is fine, and I still know what she is like. In the second room, there are two children and sons are getting older, and your second sister-in-law is afraid that I will give less when Brother Tao and Brother Ji marry, and she can't find a girl from a good family to be a daughter-in-law, so she hit the idea on you. ”

Mrs. Sun took a sip of tea and continued: "Your second sister-in-law is greedy, their husband and wife are now the one with the most monthly cases in the house, and it is Tao'er, Ji'er and Pu Ge'er, the silver for school, pen, paper and snacks has always been out of my place, and there is only some silver for making clothes in the second room. He was not satisfied, but he was still not satisfied, and he was thinking about calculating and trying to get money from elsewhere. Your second brother is a soft one, so I was instigated by your second sister-in-law to make trouble, I wasn't angry that he mentioned it too much, I was angry just by looking at his fear of his daughter-in-law. It's also because of this that I just asked whose idea it was, I just want to point out your second brother, don't look at me as an old fool, I still know what his daughter-in-law has the idea. ”

Sun Shaozu replied with a smile: "It's not wrong for the second sister-in-law to have such an idea, mother, after all, the second brother has not asked for anything over the years, and the second brother is also nearly forty years old, and he has achieved nothing over the years, so it is inevitable that his waist is not straight at home, if his mother doesn't give him a chance, won't the second brother be at home and even more helpless than the second sister-in-law?" Could it be that the mother is not sad when she sees the second brother being angry with the second sister-in-law? Mother, just this one request, you can leave it to him. ”

Mrs. Sun looked at Sun Shaozu, who had been standing beside her, "Zu'er, it's rare that you have this piece of forgiveness, it's just this favor, you should go to your second brother, and let your second sister-in-law wake up, not everything has to be done by yourself, and everything is not for the sake of others." ”

Sun Shaozu laughed, and Shi Li retreated.

Sun Shaozu walked out of Mrs. Sun's yard and went directly to the second master's yard. After entering the courtyard, the little girl hurriedly reported inside, Sun Shaozu entered the main room, and saw that the second lady and the second master were in the main room. The second master looked wilted, like listlessness after being scolded. When the second lady saw Sun Shaozu coming in, she greeted with a smile, and the annoyance in her eyes swept away. When Sun Shaozu looked at it, he understood most of it in his heart.

"The second brother is here, sit down. Dongjiao, hurry up and serve good tea. ”

Sun Shaozu was relegated to the second seat by the second lady, and the second lady's eyes probed the expression on Sun Shaozu's face as if they were nothing. Sun Shaozu smiled slightly: "Second brother and sister-in-law, I came this time to receive my mother's life." ”

"What's the matter with Mother?" The second lady pretended to be very normal, but a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

Sun Shaozu took a sip of tea and said, "Mother asked the second brother to take care of the shop in the capital. ”

Although the joy in the eyes of the second lady was tried to conceal it, it was still revealed, "How can this be good?" After all, the shop in the capital is yours of the third brother, how can we take the third brother's shop. ”
