Chapter 010: Burdened by Fame
Master Mu nodded: "It's really too deceitful." He looked at his daughter with a look of pity, think about it, for more than ten years, he has loved a pair of daughters as treasures in the palm of his hand, and gave them to others as daughters-in-law, of course, he knew that he would not be as pampered as he was at home, but he didn't expect that the people of the Jin family would treat his daughter like this.
In the past three years, my daughter has not said a word bad in every family letter, and what she said is some happy and interesting things, and she should have a good life in the Jin family; They have also been to the Jin family a few times: how can they rest assured if they don't see it with their own eyes?
After reading it at the time, he and his wife were relieved, thinking that the elders of the Jin family treated their daughters well. All they ask for is good: they can't ask the people of the husband's family to love their daughter like their mother's family, right? It's just that they never expected that they would be relieved too early.
Don't talk about anything else, just say that as soon as they arrived this time, they heard the Jin family mention something, and they brought it out of the court: Then who cares about their daughter's happiness? They raised their daughter to the Jin family, but they didn't let their daughter suffer and be angry.
After taking a long breath, he glanced at Mrs. Mu: "Don't be in such a hurry, you always have this temper and hooked me up; There may be something we don't know yet, ask clearly and then make a calculation, don't mislead Yuan'er. β
"It doesn't matter what we do in the Jin family, when the time comes, we will leave, but my daughter will always have to ......" he said Here, looking at Shuyuan's belly, he sighed deeply in his heart and turned around.
That was certainly not what he was talking about. Now he is angry with the Jin family, but as a father, he has to consider his daughter's happiness, and now that his daughter is pregnant, how can he put what he thinks on his face?
Not only can't the Jin family know what he and his wife are thinking, but also can't let the daughter know: if the daughter complains about her husband's family in her heart because she listened to the words of their husband and wife, then the daughter will live in the Jin family next, then it will really hurt the daughter.
When he heard that the Jin family also wanted Jin Chengye to have another room, he was so angry that he almost took the case: leave with his daughter! If it were a few years ago, he would have done it, but now he is much more stable, and he knows that what he did when he was impulsive would most likely regret it afterwards.
My daughter is pregnant, how can I leave lightly if I don't have to? When the time comes, how can he watch the pain of seeing his daughter and mother and son separated; Also, he didn't ask his daughter what he meant, so naturally he couldn't just say it and leave.
If his daughter wants to leave, he can do that. At the moment, it was far from that step, so after he rushed out in anger, he still opened his mouth to remind his old wife not to talk about it in front of Shuyuan again.
Mrs. Mu immediately understood, and patted Shuyuan on the back: "Look at my mother's temper, I really can't change it; I'm about to be a grandmother at such an age, and I still listen to the wind and the rain. Alas, I just can't see my children being wronged in the slightestβwhether the grievance is true or not, I can't hold it down when I see it. β
"You really don't remember how you got sick?" She still cares about her daughter: "Is there anything wrong?" We brought two doctors, but it was not good to tell the people in the Jin Mansion - I didn't think they could take good care of you, but we thought that maybe the doctors in the two places were different, maybe we could see some causes? That's not known, is it? β
She said and looked at Master Mu: "Although I don't think Yuan'er's appearance is in a hurry, it's still good for people to take a look." You can't forget something for no reason, why don't we remember their Jin family if we remember? I want to ......," she said here, patting her mouth with a handkerchief, "Yuan'er, you should have heard nothing." β
"Your mother and I have suffered from this mouth for the rest of my life." She pulled Shuyuan over: "Yuan'er, don't easily complain about the people in your husband's family, you are a family after all, they are living with you, do you understand?" Mother taught you before. β
Sookwon nodded with red eyes. It's not that she's sad, it's a good thing that she doesn't have a memory of her husband's family, for example, she is just a little annoyed but not sad about the incident, let alone thinking about how Jin Chengye is.
Now that she sees her parents, she has no grievances, but she thinks of the happy days in her parents' house in the past, and the love of her parents for her, her heart is so warm, and the warm heart is soft, melted, and flows out of water.
It's nice to have parents.
She gently leaned on her mother's shoulder: "My daughter is fine, you don't have to worry." They will not agree to have a daughter in the same room, and they will never agree. β
Master Mu sighed and sat down, looking at Yuan'er's eyes: "Your original temperament is round on the outside and square on the inside, you look very good at talking and discussing, but in fact, you can't change your mind if you make up your mind." Just like your mother! Look at the old wife, but there is no complaint in her eyes.
For most of his life, the husband and wife have come over, some have quarreled, some have cried but also laughed, all the way to this day he knows that he can't do without his wife, even if her temper is more urgent.
"But it's a bit difficult. The Jin family mentioned the imperial court, and we also heard about it, so it is extremely difficult for you to refuse with the second uncle who inherited the industry; No, Yuan'er, you listen to me. He waved his hand, a little helpless and a little happy at the unconvincing in Shuyuan's eyes: "Yuan'er, now that you are sick, you are more like the original you." β
Mrs. Mu glared at him and motioned for him to take things seriously, not to talk about it for a while and talk about it eight thousand miles away.
"I'm afraid, if the imperial court really has that intention, it won't work if you don't agree, you will only end up with a bad reputation, and when the time comes, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the Jin family, and it will not be easy to get along with the daughter of the Lu family."
Master Mu shook his head when he said this: "We are not really willing to agree, but under the pressure of your old lady, we have to say that sentence - not what we meant, just for the sake of your reputation." β
"Anyway, you're sick now, no matter what you do, I believe they can't be too harsh." When he said this, he became angry again, and picked up the teacup and poured it violently.
Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter: "Don't worry, with us, we won't make you angry." Although our Mu family is just a tea merchant, your relatives can be regarded as climbing their Jin family, but after your father-in-law died, their Jin family begged us. β
Speaking of this, she shook her head: "It's our parents who have caused you to suffer." β
Shuyuan blinked: "Why did my mother say this?" β
"You forgot about that?" Master Mu was a little incredulous: "Didn't you say that you only forgot about the Jin family?" I think it's better to hurry up and tell the people of the Jin family, let's ask the doctor to show Yuan'er. β
Mrs. Mu nodded immediately: "It doesn't matter what they think, anyway, it's true that our daughter's illness hasn't improved, and now as long as her daughter is well, she can't take care of it so much." They really dare to bully my daughter, and they have to ask me ......, and they have to be reasonable, right? β
Shuyuan looked at her mother and smiled: "You have something to say, I'm afraid that if you always hold back like this, your father will suffer." β
Mrs. Mu waved her hand: "What is it that you can't hold back, your mother and I are also from everyone, how can I also be a lady of everyone, I am like a mother worm." She patted her daughter on the head as if she had been at home three years ago.
At that time, she and her daughter often played around; Since her daughter got married, her life has been much quieter and more lonely. Although the husband is good, he is not the only wife of himself, and the two aunts always need him to accompany him.
"When your father was a merchant in his early years, he was robbed by robbers and seriously injured, if it wasn't for your father-in-law passing by, your father would have ...... long ago; Later, the two of them also had a temper, but it was not uncommon for him to be a scholar and become brothers, so he decided to marry his children. β
"At that time, neither your father nor your father-in-law had yet married. But what I didn't expect was that your father-in-law, who had been married for two years, had never raised children, so your sister could only allow another family, and when it came to you, we thought that the relationship with the Jin family was really going to be done. β
"Our two families have been moving around, and we don't have the intention of colluding with the Jin family, we are a family of businessmen but we don't like to flatter anyone. However, your father-in-law disappeared in a fire, and his letter to his family mentioned his relationship with our family. β
"Yes, if you can, whether it's a succession or what, as long as you marry a wife, you will definitely marry the daughter of our Mu family, that is the agreement between him and the elder brother of the Mu family. Your father-in-law is very promising, and their Jin family is indeed our high climb. β
"So, after your father-in-law left, they wanted to give your father-in-law this house to inherit the lineage, and your mother-in-law personally asked for it in front of us. Thinking that your father-in-law is so promising, our Shangjia family naturally wants to be more trustworthy, so we should do this family business. β
Shuyuan listened for a while before speaking: "I don't remember." Turns out, I know? Seeing her parents nodding, she shook her head: "It's so strange that you forgot about this?" My father-in-law saved my father's life. She looked at her stomach as she spoke.
She also wondered how her parents were willing to marry her, but now she understood.
"It is true that you have been wronged by another room, and it is not in the matter we promised their family. Yuan'er, don't open your mouth again, and leave it all to us to deal with. You can't refuse directly, it's not good for you......" Master Mu looked at his daughter with a soft gaze.
He really owes this daughter a lot. Because he owes the Jin family a life, but he wants his most beloved little daughter to repay it with a lifetime of happiness: he is grateful to the Jin family, but from the moment the Jin family begged for him, he also hated the Jin family.
However, the truth is there, he can be an unrighteous person, but his wife, children, parents, elders, etc., all have to stand up and be a man: he can't let his family be pointed out by thousands of people, let alone destroy the golden signboard of the Mu family for a hundred years because of his thoughts.
He should pay it back, but what the Jin family wants is not for him to pay it back, but for his daughter; Even if he died at that time, their Mu family would still have a reputation for being ungrateful.
Fame, hey! In many cases, reputation is a person's life, and it may also be the future of a family or a clan.
