Chapter 148: Righteousness
Zhu Youning couldn't get used to the sour tone of the second wife, and obviously said flattering words, but in fact, he was doing his best to sow discord. If she is the real Zhu Youning, and she still has family affection for her sisters at home, this kind of injury must be difficult for her to bear.
Thankfully, she didn't care.
"Yes, what the second aunt said is reasonable. I also feel like I've changed since I took over the business. I didn't dare to say it before, but now I dare to say it, and what I couldn't figure out before, I understand it now, and I have to thank my grandfather for giving me this opportunity. ”
The second wife's angry lips trembled, and she didn't want to lose the upper hand, but she met the old lady's warning eyes, and swallowed back before she could say anything.
The old lady put her arms around Zhu Youning and asked, "Fu Ya'er, I heard that your mother gave birth to a child?" When will I bring it back to the house and show it to my grandmother? ”
Zhu Youning heard the alarm bell in his heart, and said with a well-behaved smile: "Grandmother doesn't know, my younger brother is not in good health, so he is allowed to stay in the house and is not allowed to blow the wind." Speaking of this, there was some sourness in his tone, "I don't want to touch my mother, I don't want to let me, it's like a baby pimple all day long." ”
Seeing that she was so childishly jealous of her infant brother, the old lady felt more relieved than the slightly sophisticated conversation just now.
"At the beginning, I just wanted your father to go out, and there will always be a place for your mother and daughter in this family, but now with your brother, there is another boy in the family, right? You can also have one more person to run errands for the family. The old lady touched Zhu Youning's head, "But your brother was just born, it's still early, and it's not in a hurry." I just hope that he will be as capable as your sister in the future. ”
Zhu Youning nodded reluctantly, and performed a sister who was jealous of her younger brother quite realistically.
But she made up her mind in her heart that she must develop as soon as possible, only when she is strong, no one can snatch Xiao Zhuangzhuang!
The dinner was very enjoyable, Mrs. Zhu also ate some wine, a lot of wine, more words, the wine table will tell the trip to Hangzhou, the whole family listened attentively, and cooperated with a burst of praise and exclamation. Especially when Zhu Youning was selected by Mrs. Jia to join Rose, the ladies all congratulated Zhu Youning one after another.
After eating, Zhu Youning declined the invitation of the old lady to stay overnight, saying that he wanted to go home to kowtow to his father, so he was personally sent out of the house by the old lady's mother.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Zhu Youning saw a small group squatting at the base of the wall.
"Brother?"
Sixteen Yi heard Zhu Youning's voice, jumped up suddenly, and said happily: "Sister, you're back!" Dad really didn't lie to me! ”
As he spoke, he rushed over like a little beast, and as soon as he carried Zhu Youning on his back, he ran home.
Zhu Youning put his arms around Sixteen's neck and grinned, "What did Dad tell my brother?" ”
"Dad said let me write a hundred big characters, and you'll be back. I'm done writing this afternoon, and you'll be back in the evening, Daddy is right! That's amazing! ”
Sixteen is not stupid, but his intelligence is in the value of force, but it is very laborious to learn to read, and it is even more laborious to write.
Zhu Youning praised sincerely: "My brother is also very powerful, it is so difficult to read and write, you have learned everything." ”
Sixteen said with some embarrassment: "I'm the slowest learner in the school." ”
"But my brother is the best in the hunting world, and he has a lot of strength, and now he has learned to read, as long as he works hard, he will definitely become an all-rounder in the future, isn't it much more powerful than those who can only read?"
"Huh? When you say that, it seems that this is indeed the case! Sixteen said triumphantly, "I am indeed the best in the world." ”
Zhu Youning couldn't help laughing when he was amused.
When he got home, Zhu Youning first went to the inner room to see the Bai family and Brother Xiaozhuang. Zhu Huating and Sixteen also followed.
Seeing Zhu Youning coming back safely, Bai's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
"It's good to come back safely. You won't leave in the future, right? ”
"Mother, I naturally won't go anywhere if there's nothing to do, I'll bother you at home."
Bai Shi touched her face, "You don't bother to go to the room to reveal the tile." ”
"Really, then I'll uncover the tiles tomorrow." Zhu Youning said with a serious face.
Bai choked, saw the teasing in his daughter's eyes, and couldn't help pinching her twice.
The family laughed, and Xiao Zhuangzhuang cried because of the noise.
Taking advantage of the time when the Bai family coaxed the child, Zhu Youning took Zhu Huating to the study, and Sixteen wanted to follow, and she did not stop her. She hoped that Sixteen would know more about these things, so that he would not be too simple and ignorant of the sinister hearts of people.
Zhu Youning told Zhu Huating all the things about this trip to Hangzhou concisely.
As soon as Zhu Huating heard that Mrs. Jiang was actually tied up by Cheng Gongzi, he gritted his teeth angrily, and when he heard about the follow-up development, he finally went to Beijing when Mrs. Jiang entered Beijing, and he was a little embarrassed.
"So, the Jiang family is going to move to the capital soon?"
"Yes, if this kind of thing happens, the Holy Lord will definitely not let Old Lady Jiang leave the capital again."
Zhu Huating nodded for a long time, and said: "Rose is not simple, you don't want to be complacent just because you were chosen by Rose, there may be hidden danger behind it." ”
As Zhu Huating spoke, he touched Zhu Youning's head and sighed: "Dad promised you to go to the clan conference, was it wrong?" ”
"Daddy?"
"If you weren't allowed to go to the clan assembly, you wouldn't have got the inheritance, let alone what happened later. The person who wants to frame Rose behind his back can force the brocade guard to release the water, what if they deal with you? And Rose, I don't think they're at ease either. In the future, you will be in more and more danger, but Dad doesn't know if he can protect you. ”
Zhu Huating's uneasiness is completely understandable.
Which parent would be able to enjoy the blessings behind their eight-year-old daughter with peace of mind?
"Dad, there is no if in this world, the road can only go forward."
Zhu Youning's words stunned Zhu Huating for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, there is no if." Fu Ya'er, you have really grown up, and you can see things more clearly than your father. ”
"I follow my father, my father is an understanding person, and I can naturally follow you a little."
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and the topic became a lot more relaxed.
Zhu Huating asked in a low voice: "Fu Ya'er, what are you going to do next?" ”
Zhu Youning said: "My grandfather mentioned several times that he wanted me to go to the house to study. I want to go to school. ”
"Homeschooling?" Zhu Huating shook his head and said, "There are all boys in the clan, and it is inconvenient for you to go to a little girl's house, for fear of making people talk." ”
"Afraid of something. The eldest lady of the Cheng family can be the head of the family, she is a rose, and I am also a rose, I will definitely be more powerful than her when I grow up. After going to homeschool, I can do all the business to be justified, and I need to be justified now, so homeschool is a must. ”
