Yu Jingxiu was practicing calligraphy in the study, and when he heard that his mother was coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

Mrs. Yu smiled and was held by her son, entered the study, stood in front of the big bookcase and saw her son's calligraphy: "...... It's really grown a lot! ”

She laughed and praised her son.

Yu Jingxiu helped his mother to sit on the big kang near the window, took the tea brought by Chengxin, and personally held it to Mrs. Yu, and then said with a smile: "The pedestrian is much better written, I don't work hard, but I will be embarrassed." ”

"If you can have this heart, your father will be happy to know about it." Mrs. Yu chatted with her son for a few words, and Fan, who got the letter, came over with Sister Zhen to greet Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu looked at Sister Zhen, who looked like a kitten, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, talking about the purpose of this trip: "...... Since Miss Chen Jiabiao is unwilling, I will not force her. But since Miss Fei Jiabiao stayed, I think she should choose a good day and carry her aunt, right? ”

Her tone was not a consultation, but an order, which made Fan feel very uncomfortable.

Yu Jingxiu's brows also frowned, but as soon as he shouted "Mother", Mrs. Yu had already instructed the ink seal standing aside: "I heard that you are very good at making almond paste, and I will also come to try your skills today." "The smell of sending people is very obvious.

Mo Zhen didn't dare to stay longer, answered with a smile, and retreated with the servants in the house.

Mrs. Yu looked at her son and daughter-in-law in front of her, and said bluntly: "We are not separated from your eldest uncle and third uncle, and your eldest uncle and aunt are also in charge of family affairs. I sent Miss Chen Jiabiao back because Miss Chen Jiabiao was restless, and she actually came to me to make irresponsible remarks, if your third aunt knew the reason why I sent her back, I am afraid that she will not be able to tolerate such arrogance. But in the end, it made your third aunt lose face, and your third aunt must be uncomfortable in her heart. She and your aunt stayed in their hometown in Nanjing. The two have been together for decades, although they are concubines. But they are closer than their own sisters. Miss Fei Jiabiao has to have an explanation. In this way, if your third aunt wants to say something in front of your eldest aunt, she will also be afraid of the second and third. "Finished. She looked at Fan, "Depu is talking about shoulders and three rooms. But in fact, it is also because your father-in-law and your eldest uncle and third uncle are thick, and they don't want the family property to fall into the hands of others, otherwise. How could there be such an agreement? Speaking of which. I don't know how many people in the Yu family want to pass on their son to your eldest uncle and your third uncle! ”

Fan's heart sank.

The mother-in-law was warning her that if she didn't care about the eldest lady and the third lady, the family would be scattered. And the culprit of the family is her grandmother, who can't persuade her husband to open branches for the ancestral hall.

Her smile couldn't help but feel more bitter, and her eyes also looked towards Yu Depu.

And Mrs. Yu was talking to Yu Jingxiu about what she had just heard from Yu Gelao: "...... At that time, Zhao Ling was just a general banner, but now that he has been promoted to the general army, I am afraid that he will become more and more bold. You have to be careful when you go in and out. When you see strangers, try to avoid them. If that Zhao Ling goes crazy. Who knows what he'll do? You're porcelain, he's a crockpot, and we can't be as knowledgeable as him! ”

Yu Jingxiu was stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when his mother finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous: "Mother, you think too much!" This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter how bold Zhao Ling is, he does not dare to openly murder the officials of the imperial court. You can rest assured. ”

Mrs. Yu smiled coldly, glanced at Fan, and said, "If it wasn't for the cause planted back then, how could it have borne today's fruit." Anyway, I told your father, we won't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The pedestrian division is not out of the cabinet. What's more, to do the imperial history of the sky, suffer from the suffering of running around! ”

"Mother!" When Yu Jingxiu heard this, he was a little annoyed, "Such a big matter, why don't you make a claim without telling me!" The pedestrian division is a draft chapter every day, and there are people who are more senior than me, even if they are boiled out, they have to be put into various departments to practice. Why should I put the cart before the horse, I have to work in the pedestrian department to get seniority? Outside, it's easier to make a difference by doing something practical. When the time comes, it will be much easier to go back to the sixth department, and it will be much easier to be promoted......"

"You don't have to say more." Mrs. Yu interrupted her son's words, "I have made up my mind - how can I start a business if I don't have a family!" If you don't have a family, how can you level the world. Wait until you've got your family things in order, and then we'll talk about the rest. As he spoke, he stood up and shouted "Mother Shu", and then without looking at Fan, he took Mother Shu's arm and walked out of the hall.

Yu Jingxiu slammed his fist on the black lacquer Pengya square table.

The sound of "knock" echoed in the spacious hall.

Fan Shi was startled, and hurriedly went over to look at his fist: "Is there any injury?" ”

Yu Jingxiu shook his head depressedly.

Fan Shi looked at the gloom of spirit, bit his lip, opened his mouth several times to say something, and swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.

Yu Jingxiu stood up with a gloomy face: "I'm going to the bookstore!" ”

Fan Shi hurriedly responded, sent Yu Jingxiu out of the door, turned around and beckoned Mo Seal, said Mrs. Yu's words, and then asked Mo Seal hesitantly: "How is this good?" ”

Mo Zhen thought for a while and said, "It's up to the uncle to decide—the sky has fallen and there are tall people on top of it!" ”

Fan sighed, nodded helplessly, and then leaned on the big pillow on the kang, and muttered: "I thought that Xianggong was the champion, it should be easy, who knew that there was a father-in-law behind him to help support him, but it turned out to be so difficult...... No wonder my father wants to resign and return to his hometown...... It's such hard work...... I heard that Chen Ge Lao has just passed the year of disobedience this year. I don't know how he got up? ”

Mo Zhan had no choice but to comfort Fan: "Chen Ge Lao has not been a magistrate for many years before!" Uncle is just that the luck has not yet arrived. When the journey is complete, it will soar to the sky. Big grandma and relaxed. Our uncle is the champion! ”

Fan knew that he was talking to a little maid about it for nothing, but he couldn't talk to anyone else.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and waved her hand, sent away the ink seal, and lay on the big pillow alone, but it was easy to sound in her mind that when she went to the Wu Mansion to congratulate the fourth lady of the Wu family on the full moon ceremony, she occasionally heard the whispers of a few women: "Before the year of establishment, I was promoted to the general soldier of the second grade, if it is a few years later, how can I get it!" Isn't it another Yingchuan Marquis? Then Mrs. Zhao is a blessed one—if Lord Zhao wins another battle in Guizhou, she should be sealed......"

Fan thought of the women talking about these things with envy and a little jealousy on their faces...... And she could only follow Mrs. Yu's side, and was introduced "This is Mrs. Yu's daughter-in-law", and then those women would show a reserved smile condescendingly like an elder, and nod to her casually, but she wanted to come forward with a smile to bow to those people and greet them respectfully, even so, some people would still whisper to the people next to them when they saw her again: "This is Mrs. Yu's daughter-in-law, what's her surname?" ”

The thought flashed, and she suddenly felt depressed, grabbed the big pillow on the side and smashed it on the Taishi chair not far away......

※※※※※

Yu Jingxiu wrote five or six hundred wild grasses in one breath in the study, and the anger in his heart felt that he had dissipated a lot.

He couldn't help but ponder his mother's words carefully.

If the Fan family couldn't give birth to a son, he would have discussed the matter of taking a concubine with the Fan family, but it was not like now, whether he agreed or not, whether he liked it or not, he forcibly made the decision and pushed people in front of him.

But if you blindly don't say goodbye to your mother like this, you will offend the eldest aunt and the third aunt.

Thinking about this, he had a splitting headache.

After wandering around the study for a long time, the ghost sent him to Fei's place.

Fei Shi sat on the big kang in Linkang to do needlework, and when he saw Yu Jingxiu coming in, he hurriedly dropped the needle and thread and gave him a blessing, and made a cup of tea himself.

Yu Jingxiu couldn't help but look at Fei carefully.

Medium figure, facial features are not delicate, but they are better than fair skin, gentle expression, steady manners, look dignified and demure, quite a bit of family women's generosity.

He was a little surprised.

To be honest, he had a grudge in his heart, whether it was Fei or Chen, he didn't look twice.

And when Fei Shi saw him looking at himself, he was not stage frightened, but smiled at him.

Yu Jingxiu was a little uncomfortable.

He coughed softly, lowered his head to drink tea, and the corner of his eye swept over the sewing basket on the kang to see a load of lilac-colored satin covered in gold.

"You're doing needlework!" Yu Jingxiu had nothing to say.

Hearing this, Fei Shi took out the needle and thread in the sewing basket and spread it in front of Yu Jingxiu: "I'm idle, I made a robe for my wife, and I don't know if my wife likes it or not?" Uncle is here, just help me take a look. If there's anything you don't think about, Uncle will also help remind me of it. ”

Yu Jingxiu was stunned again.

Seeing Fei's generous appearance, he didn't know why, he felt relieved, looked at the unfinished jacket casually, and nodded: "It's not bad." ”

"Since the uncle said it is good, there must be no mistake." Fei Shi listened to it, as if he was very happy, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.

Yu Jingxiu suddenly felt a little bored.

Chen has a backbone, and dares to come to his mother to say that he is leaving, but this Fei is scheming, no matter how she treats her, she can endure it.

Thinking of this, he wanted to leave.

Who knew that Fei Shi on the other side smiled and said: "When I came, the eldest lady told me again and again that I should serve the uncle well." He also said that when he was a child, his uncle liked to eat a duck the most, and he specially asked the mother-in-law on the stove to tell me how to do it. It's just that my uncle is always busy after I came, and I don't have time to serve my uncle well and have a meal. ”

Speaking of the eldest aunt, Yu Jingxiu had to sit down again.

Fei Shi came over with a plate of snacks with a smile, and asked softly, "Uncle come here, what's the matter?" ”

Yu Jingxiu was surprised.

Fei Shi has said with a straight face: "I know, the eldest lady and the third lady sent me and Sister Chen over like this, and the uncle felt uncomfortable. That's why Sister Chen is leaving. I am different from Sister Chen, Sister Chen goes back, her own parents are in charge, but my parents died early, relying on my uncle to live, if I am sent back, my uncle will not be able to live on face, I am afraid that he will give me to Shentang with his own hands. I had no choice but to leave it with a dead face. ”
