Chapter 294: Make a Choice
Shen Muqing smiled bitterly.
It's really hard for her to say this kind of thing.
"The eldest lady is with you, right?" Xiao Cheng's face was a little pale, "I want to meet her." ”
"Xiao Cheng, she is your mother-in-law." Shen Muqing smiled helplessly, "It's not that you want others to accept you, first of all, you have to accept others." ”
Xiao Cheng didn't make a sound, and once again avoided the question.
Shen Muqing sighed in his heart and called the little maid: "Go and tell the eldest lady that Uncle Cheng is here and wants to see her old man." ”
The little maid answered the call and left.
Shen Muqing and Xiao Cheng sat speechlessly.
After a while, the little maid lifted the curtain, and it was Xiao Zhao who came in.
"What are you looking for your mother?" Xiao Zhao's expression was faint, "It's the same as what I said." ”
Shen Muqing hurriedly got up and saluted Xiao Zhao. But Xiao Cheng stood there in a daze, looking at Xiao Zhao in astonishment, speechless for a long time.
"You're here for the tea show!" Xiao Zhao walked straight to the Taishi chair that Shen Muqing let out and stopped, "It's just right, I also have something to say to you." Sit down! ”
Xiao Cheng sat down with a blank expression.
Shen Muqing personally served Xiao Zhao refreshments, and then stood beside the curtain.
"It's all my fault that my family is like this." Xiao Zhao's expression was pleasant, and in the eyes of those who cared, this confession of mistake did not seem so sincere, "But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more." We might as well come up with a solution! ”
Xiao Cheng's face immediately turned red, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said for a long time: "You talk to me about the solution." ”
"How?" Xiao Zhao frowned slightly, "What do you have to think about it?" ”
Xiao Cheng had a self-deprecating smile on his face and muttered, "You and I talk about the solution." Why don't you talk to your mother, why don't you let Xiao Sa come to talk to me, you actually came to talk to me. ”
"You have a point." Xiao Zhao's expression was relaxed, and he didn't change because of Xiao Cheng's sadness, "In this way, you tell your mother, tomorrow morning at the Liansheng Inn, let's have a good talk." ”
The corners of Xiao Cheng's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "You protect the eldest lady like this!" Are you afraid that she will be sad? ”
Xiao Zhao was slightly stunned: "Xiao Cheng, this is also what you should say!" ”
Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Zhao's gaze a little coldly: "You and I don't think there's anything wrong with discussing being a son and being a mother, I just asked someone you don't like, and you reprimand me." Am there anything wrong with what I said? ”
Xiao Zhao was stunned by what his son said.
Xiao Cheng looked at it and smiled coldly, and said, "It seems that you have already made a decision." My mother's temperament has always been cowardly, and she is obedient to you, even if she comes, I'm afraid that she will do whatever you say, or if you have anything to say, just say it to me! ”
Xiao Zhao's eyes sank, his expression flashed at a loss, and he didn't seem to know what to say for a while.
Immediately, there was an atmosphere of stasis in the room.
For a long time, Xiao Zhao's eyes showed perseverance: "Your mother has always been obedient in front of me, even if she suffers a loss, she will not make a sound." It's okay, you can make up your mind for your mother in this matter, so that she won't suffer. ”
Xiao Cheng didn't make a sound, and looked straight at Xiao Zhao.
"There are no rules, there are no rules." Xiao Zhao said, "I act perversely, and things at home are messy." What I mean, either, your mother takes your brother back to the Xiao family; Or, your mother is in Yangzhou with your brother. ”
Xiao Cheng's head exploded with a "boom".
Xiao Zhao said "your brothers" instead of "Xiao Cheng", that is, if the mother is willing to return to the Xiao family, their brothers can be on the family tree as the concubines of the Xiao family; If his mother is unwilling to return to the Xiao family, he will be removed from the Xiao family, and his mother will take him to open an account and live alone. When I returned to Xiao's house, my mother had to serve tea and pour water for the eldest wife; If you don't return to the Xiao family, you will no longer have anything to do with the man in front of you who gave birth to herself and raised herself.
As soon as he thought of this, his voice became fragmented: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Xiao Zhao saw his son's frightened expression and felt a little guilty.
If they had made up their minds when they were young, why bother to let everyone suffer like this.
"Xiao Cheng, I still hope you can be in the Xiao family!" Xiao Zhao's voice was a little lonely, "You are all grown up by me, how can I be reluctant, but dragging it like this is even worse for you, your younger brothers and sisters are older, and it's time to talk about marriage, back to the Xiao family, although your mother can't be as free as in Yangzhou, she can serve the main room, which is also the duty of a concubine." What's more, the eldest lady is straightforward and generous, and she will definitely not embarrass your mother. Even if it is the old lady, I will also help to take care of one or two, and I will not let your mother suffer too much grievance. ”
Without waiting for Xiao Zhao to finish speaking, Xiao Cheng suddenly stood up with a "Teng" and shouted at Xiao Zhao, "What do you want to say?" What exactly do you want to do? What do you think of us? As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Xiao Cheng's figure and facial features are like Xiao Zhao, but the demeanor between his eyebrows is more like a tea show.
Seeing that he was about to cry, the softness in Xiao Zhao's heart suddenly disappeared.
He thought of Cha Xiu's suppleness in front of him over the years, thought of the things she had done behind her back, and thought of his father's disappointment in himself.
"Xiao Cheng, I understand what I mean very clearly. If your mother agrees to go back to Xiao's house, you are still my good child Xiao Zhao; If your mother is unwilling to go back to the Xiao family, then we will go our separate ways, and I will no longer be your father, nor will I be my son. ”
Xiao Cheng laughed angrily: "Good, good, good." I will reply to you now on behalf of my mother, we will not go back to Xiao's house! With that, he turned around and walked out.
"Xiao Cheng!" Xiao Zhao said softly, "You have to think about it carefully." If you leave, our Xiao family, I Xiao Zhao, will have nothing to do with you, including Xiao Shan, including Fang Niang, and Cao Gang, what are you going to do? ”
Xiao Cheng's people stayed in place like wood.
Shen Muqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
Shen Muqing pondered, and bowed to Xiao Zhao with a "yes", Xiao Zhao has always had a lot of complaints about her, and she naturally kept her duty to him.
Xiao Zhao nodded: "You go!" ”
Shen Muqing retreated.
I don't know why, she waved her head when she stepped over the doorrail, and saw Xiao Zhao sitting there with dull eyes, like a stone sculpture.
Back at the eldest lady's place, Shen Muqing naturally told her everything he had seen and heard.
The eldest lady lowered her eyelids when she heard this, and her expression was a little unnatural.
Is there anything else that can't be done?
Unlike the estrangement when he got along with Xiao Zhao, Shen Muqing sometimes looked like a child in front of the eldest wife.
"The eldest lord is so decisive this year, is it because you can't say something?"
"I didn't put their father and son at odds." The eldest lady hurriedly explained, "It's just that the eldest man wants to go back to Lincheng with me, I feel awkward and don't want to go back, and he himself said that he wants to straighten out the affairs of the family." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Of course I'm also selfish, I want to see what he's going to do?" This foolish account has been calculated for more than 20 years, and it can't go on like this forever! ”
Shen Muqing was slightly stunned when he listened.
Could it be that the eldest lady is ready to get back together with Xiao Zhao, but the young couple is an old companion, and it is not bad if they can get back together. At the very least, there is a companion to relieve loneliness.
"Looking at the appearance of the eldest master today, he is still very protective of you." Shen Muqing was busy helping Xiao Zhao say good things, "You can stay with me for a few days with peace of mind." Yueying and Ziyang haven't seen you for a long time, and they've been talking about it during the New Year! ”
The eldest lady heard this but said, "If Chaxiu really goes back to the Xiao family, you say, what should I do?" ”
Shen Muqing was very surprised, and he didn't know what the eldest lady meant by this. Fortunately, the eldest lady didn't let her answer at all, and continued: "Actually, I made a bet with the eldest master today. If Chaxiu goes back to Xiao's house, we will go our separate ways. If Cha Xiu doesn't go back to Xiao's house, we will be together. ”
How does this sound like Xiao Zhao attaches more importance to the tea show?
"We said yes. If Cha Xiu is willing to go back to the Xiao family for the sake of the child, I will fulfill them. If Cha Xiu is unwilling to sacrifice herself and insists on staying in Yangzhou, the eldest master will no longer care about her. ”
"Then you." Shen Muqing didn't know what the eldest lady meant, and said cautiously, "What do you think?" ”
"What do I think?" The eldest lady looked a little dazed, "I don't want to make this bet with him at all." But he said that Chaxiu would definitely choose to stay in Yangzhou. Ask me and if I bet this with him. I thought, how is this possible, how could she agree to stay in Yangzhou knowing what impact staying in Yangzhou would have on several children. ”
Xiao Zhao's actions once again surprised Shen Muqing. (End of chapter)
