Sheng Xiumu listened to Mrs. Sheng's words, was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "No." Why did my mother ask like that? ”

Mrs. Sheng half-sat up and flicked his forehead with her fingers: "It's okay?" Then you have been walking for a long time, and you beat your mother's leg like this, do you want to kill your mother? ”

Sheng Xiumu laughed and coughed: "I can't hide anything from my mother." ”

Mrs. Sheng asked him what was the matter.

Sheng Xiu Mu Yin went to Emperor Yuanchang to say "Pearl Relics in the Sea" after getting drunk, only saying that Sheng Xiuyi resigned from the official position of the third grade waiter of the Ministry of War, which made the Marquis of Sheng Chang angry.

Mrs. Sheng listened and pondered for a long time before sighing: "...... Don't blame your dad for being angry! Your eldest brother has been abandoned for many years, and everyone in the capital says that your father's eldest son is a mediocre person, and you are your father's face is glorious? He breathed a sigh of relief. But the early years were the later years of the first emperor, and your father was worried that the first emperor would be suspicious; Then it was Mrs. Xiao who made trouble all these years. Now that it's finally peaceful, your eldest brother is still like this, how can your father not be annoyed? ”

Sheng Xiumu listened and bowed his head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's still my mother who has insight." ”

Mrs. Sheng could hear that it was a joke, and she gently slapped Sheng Xiumu, and laughed herself: "Now they are all people with knighthoods, and they still make fun of your mother." ”

Sheng Xiumu also smiled.

Mrs. Sheng asked him again: "Is the matter of the Xiao family decided today?" ”

Sheng Xiumu remembered that he hadn't told his mother about this key, so he hurriedly said it, and said, "...... The lord was cut, his wife, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law were exiled for thousands of miles, and his children were driven out of Kyoto, and the five generations were not allowed to enter the court or go to school. ”

After a pause, he said, "Mother, the county lord of Wutian has been cut off, and the seventh lady of their family has also been exiled for thousands of miles, and my marriage contract with the Xiao family will be terminated." ”

Mrs. Sheng sighed: "What about iniquity! It was a good family. If you converge a few points, where will this end? ”

In his heart, he was thinking about where to go and tell Sheng Xiumu about his family.

He is no longer a little four-pin royal walker, but General Feng'en, a third-generation hereditary Mu Enbo. If you want a good family, it should be easy.

Sheng Xiumu said: "It was Old Marquis Xue who interceded for their family. did not exterminate the Manchus. Back then, the Chen family was much less guilty than the Xiao family. Haven't you been beheaded all over the place? You don't have to pity them, it's self-inflicted. You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. Mother. ”

Mrs. Sheng bowed her head and said, "...... The children of the concubine were driven out of Beijing? Ouch, that fifth lady of the Xue family. It's your sister-in-law's cousin. Didn't you cry and hang yourself to marry Xiao Wulang? Xiao Wulang is a concubine...... I heard that the fifth young lady has no father, only a widowed mother. Now that she is in this situation, she is afraid that she will not be able to return to Beijing for decades, her widowed mother......"

said. I sighed.

Treat others with oneself, if this happens to one's own daughter. Mrs. Sheng is afraid that her eyes are going to cry blind. From this, it can be seen that the second lady of the Xue family must be extremely sad.

Sheng Xiumu saw that Mrs. Sheng's own family was not happy enough, but she was worried about others first, so she got up with a smile and pinched her shoulders for her: "Mother, what do you think, how much of a crime the Xiao family has?" Picking up a life, not exile, just driving out of Kyoto, so much. ”

Mrs. Sheng was right to think about it, and said with a smile: "It's also the reason." People, you have to look at the front and the back to see more thoroughly. ”

The mother and son talked for a long time, and Mother Kang returned to Yuanyang Pavilion from Jingshi Courtyard.

When she saw Sheng Xiumu, she stepped forward to salute him: "The slave maid has said hello to the uncle!" ”

Mrs. Sheng smiled: "You don't have to do this. He is the prince, isn't he still the third master of our family? ”

Sheng Xiumu was also busy saying yes, let Kang's mother still call her the third master in the future, and there was no need to call her uncle.

Kang's mother smiled and agreed.

"The prince went back, and all the servants in the house were sent out. Mother Luo and a few big maids in the grandmother's yard were all in order, and they all persuaded me to come back, so I went back first. Mother Kang explained to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng laughed and asked Mother Kang, "Is the third young master awake?" ”

Kang's mother said no: "No, sleep soundly." ”

Mrs. Sheng bowed slightly, and asked how Dong Yu was.

Kang's mother said it was all good.

A few people were talking, and Sheng Changhou came back from the outer courtyard with a solemn face.

Mrs. Sheng was slightly stunned, today is the big day when he was promoted, his third son was knighted, his eldest son returned to the dynasty victoriously, and his grandson was added, why was he unhappy?

Remember, get up and salute him.

Sheng Changhou let them all be exempted, and sat on the kang by himself, with a gloomy face.

Mother Kang served tea one after another, and retreated with a room full of servants.

"Have you had dinner in the outer courtyard?" Mrs. Sheng could smell the slight aroma of wine on him, so she asked him with a smile.

Although the Marquis of Sheng Chang was angry, he was not good at his wife, and his voice softened a little: "Yongning Bo came to say hello to me, and I treated the wine and food in the outer courtyard and ate it." ”

Mrs. Sheng bowed her head, and told Sheng Changhou about Dongyi's birth of a child with a smile.

Sheng Changhou's expression still did not improve in the slightest, and he said in a stiff tone: "You have been with you?" Tired all day, right? ”

"How can you be tired of holding your grandson?" Mrs. Sheng said with a smile.

Sheng Changhou had already gotten up, called the maids in, and said to Mrs. Sheng, "You can rest." I have something to say to Brother Mu. ”

Mrs. Sheng bowed her head and asked him again, "Let's go to Aunt Lin tonight." These two days are her days. ”

Since Aunt Lin's death, there is only one Aunt Lin left in the family, and Mrs. Sheng didn't like these two aunts very much, but now she has more pity. Thinking that Second Aunt Lin is lonely in the Sheng family, if the Hou Ye always treats her coldly, sooner or later something will happen.

So every two days of Aunt Lin, if Sheng Changhou forgets, Mrs. Sheng will remind him. If you don't want to go, you will be persuaded.

Marquis Sheng Chang is domineering, but he can always listen to one or two sentences of Mrs. Sheng's words.

Since he was young, Sheng Changhou always thought that Mrs. Sheng was soft and soft-hearted, and he didn't want to make her sad.

It's strange to say that she is a little considerate of everything like this, and she really hasn't paid attention to it, but she has been considerate for more than 30 years.

Now hearing this, Sheng Changhou said: "Brother Mu and I have something to say, we will rest here tonight." Send someone to talk to her, and I'll remember her days, and I'll stay with her for a few more nights next month. ”

Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to say yes.

Sheng Changhou took Sheng Xiumu to the small study of Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng sent a citron to tell Second Aunt Lin in person that Sheng Changhou would not go over today, so let her rest early. Her days moved to the next month.

He was served by the incense and went to the clean room to bathe.

When she changed into a homely Ge Yun thick gown, leaned on the big kang near the window in the east room and talked to Kang's mother, she heard the roar of Sheng Changhou in the small study.

Mrs. Sheng was startled and wanted to get up and take a look.

Mother Kang hurriedly persuaded her: "Madam, Master Hou is stricter with the children, but he is also serious. You went, and the third master and the Hou Ye couldn't erase it. ”

Mrs. Sheng was still worried, and asked Mother Kang in a low voice: "Master Hou doesn't want to beat Brother Mu, right?" ”

Kang's mother laughed: "When did Master Hou move a finger of the child?" As soon as the words fell, I remembered the second master Sheng Xiuhai, who was beaten by Sheng Changhou for three months some time ago, and the conversation stopped.

And Mrs. Sheng was full of worries about Sheng Xiumu, and she didn't think about it deeply.

After a moment, the small study fell silent, and Mrs. Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In the small study, Sheng Xiumu stood respectfully in front of his father's bookcase, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Sheng Changhou sat on the chair, his chest heaving, but the thunder rage was reduced by half. He scolded Sheng Xiumu: "Why didn't you stop that rebel?" ”

Sheng Xiumu was full of grievances.

He also wanted to stop Sheng Xiuyi. It's just that his brother thinks farther than him, and calculates deeper than him.

The father told them that they couldn't let their mother know about the Xue family, so Sheng Xiuyi quietly followed Sheng Xiumu to Yuanyang Pavilion and waited for Mrs. Sheng to come back.

Then he asked Sheng Xiumu to beat Mrs. Sheng's legs.

What can Sheng Xiumu say?

Can you stop your brother when her mother keeps urging her brother to return to the Jing Courtyard, and she doesn't beat her mother's legs and stops her brother? That mother must be suspicious.

If the mother has doubts, she will naturally ask. When the time comes, my father knows that he is gone, and he wants to scold him again.

The people in the family, the eldest brother is cold and calculating, and the father is angry and domineering, he must not only protect his brother from being scolded by his father, but also remember not to let his mother know about the ugly things in his brother's room.

In the end, his father still scolded him for not stopping his brother.

The unfortunate things all fell on him Sheng Xiumu.

Sheng Changhou hates children the most for doing wrong things and quibbles. No matter what the reason is, if it is wrong, it is wrong, and it must be admitted, and prevarication will only attract more scolding from the father. Sheng Xiumu said: "Daddy, I was wrong!" ”

Sheng Changhou still had a breath of anger.

The son went back to his daughter-in-law's room, and the daughter-in-law was in confinement again, so he couldn't openly send a servant to call Sheng Xiuyi out if he wanted to hide it from everyone in the family.

And the father-in-law cannot enter the daughter-in-law's room.

Thinking of Sheng Xiuyi's silent appearance, Sheng Changhou trembled with anger.

He has clear grievances in his life, and he dares to act, but he gave birth to Sheng Xiuyi, like a stuffy gourd, I don't know what he is thinking in his heart. He does not want to fight for the official position; Xue gave him such a big humiliation, he should be angry, but he didn't say a word, as if it was none of his business.

Not only that, he knew that his father would not let him go back to see the Xue family, and he also asked him to stop Sheng Xiumu, the person who discouraged him.

Is his cleverness used in these little things?

In the anger of the Marquis of Sheng Chang, he had long forgotten how Sheng Xiuyi recovered the northwest camp, brought back the military power in the northwest, and killed Xiao Xuanxiao, who had been entrenched in the northwest for nearly ten years.

He only hated his son's forbearance at the moment.

In Sheng Changhou's opinion, Sheng Xiuyi at this moment is very cowardly and incompetent.

Even if it is a small family, if a woman does such a thing, the man will be ashamed to death, right?

The Xue family and that child were the thorns in Sheng Changhou's throat at the moment, making him restless and unbearable. His mind was full of thinking about how to get out of this evil breath.

He was going to tell Old Marquis Xue about his decision tomorrow morning.

Their granddaughter is unruly, but the Sheng family can't tolerate cruelty.

The child was to be sent away, and it was impossible for the Xue family to stay in the Sheng family.
