Chapter 120: Mrs. Tai gave the fourth child an idea
Let's say that after Xie Hao's family returned home, the family really had a peaceful birthday: because of this incident, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a little bit of friendship between each other, but it was not as-for-tat as before.
And Xie Ruqing, Xie Haowen and others, who were officials outside, were also prosperous, and the contract negotiated with the Nanban Mission was officially passed in the Ming Dynasty, and they were praised by the government and the opposition, and the rewards also poured into the Yanguo Mansion like flowing water.
And Xie Yilin, who was married, came with the good news that she was pregnant, which made the Xie family happy, among them, Gu Ruosu was especially good, and she was very generous for several days in a row to send good things to everyone in each room, which was called "joy".
"Grandmother, you taste it, this is the first season of lychees this year, grandfather said, grandmother, you love to eat this, and I specially thought of a way to transport it back by water from Qingzhou." Xie Yihua leaned next to Gu Ruosu, diligently took the lychee sent by Xie Ruqing, and said with a smile.
"You girl, so diligent, you still have to snatch Biyun's affairs and help me peel lychees, what's the matter, what kind of treasure do you like me again?" Gu Ruosu unceremoniously took the lychee from Xie Yihua's hand and said jokingly.
"Grandmother, you have wronged me, I don't want any treasures from my grandmother, my grandmother has given me so many things on weekdays, it is enough."
"Yes, I thought you wanted to ask me for my thousand-year-old ink on the Duobao Pavilion, after all, a few days ago, didn't you give Qi Lan the white jade wolf I gave you, you have a good pen, no good ink, how can you." Gu Ruosu said with a smile.
"Grandmother, Second Uncle Qi and I are just relatives, nothing else." Xie Yihua hurriedly explained.
"Yes, you're just godparents, even if there's something, it doesn't matter...... Besides, your grandfather may not have had this in mind. Gu Ruosu said suddenly.
"Grandmother...... What are you talking about, I don't understand......" Xie Yihua asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of kissing and kissing, I'll just say this, you can just decide the specific things yourself." Gu Ruosu replied casually, but in fact, she wanted to match Xie Yihua and Qi Lan in her heart, originally, she was reluctant to settle down with her little girl so quickly, but, to tell the truth, after the matter of Xie Hao's family, she was quite touched.
Although the Xie family seems to have a sacred heart, but the things that should suffer, that is not less, plus, although Xie Haojia was born in the officialdom, but his official position is a midstream, plus, his own trough of the back house, if he looks for Xie Yihua according to this identity, the top good people estimate that they will not ask to marry Xie Yihua, but other people who are bigger than Xie Hao's official position, maybe, it is because of the face of the Xie family to ask to marry Xie Yihua, in the future, if something happens to the Xie family, it is not good to share weal and woe.
As for those who have not yet made a career or have a lower background, she is not without consideration, but this is too long and bitter to accompany a man and a family to grow up......
Therefore, after thinking about it, she still thinks that Qi Lan is the most suitable candidate, after all, Qi Lan is a person who knows the roots, is a talented, virtuous and good-looking gentleman, in the future, he will definitely not be able to do anything to take revenge, and he has a relationship with their family, as long as the Xie family takes him well, he will not worry about Xie Yihua's life in the future......
The most important thing is that Xie Yihua and Qi Lan are not sure what kind of affection they can have, which can be regarded as a good marriage.
But in the end, this is Gu Ruosu's own thoughts, so Gu Ruosu wants to match the two people in her heart, but she only mentioned it on her lips, and the right to choose is still handed over to Xie Yihua, she believes that Xie Yihua, a clear child, will definitely be able to choose the most suitable path for herself.
"Grandmother, granddaughter understands, Yihua thanks grandmother......" Xie Yihua really didn't disappoint Gu Ruosu, but after a moment, he said with a firm gaze.
"Good boy, grandmother one more word, you will always be grandmother's granddaughter, there is still a grandmother in everything, just move forward." Although Gu Ruosu has only been in this world for a few months, he has already regarded these children as his grandchildren, although he still can't do it at present, but he is sincere in his best intentions for them.
"Yes, thank you, grandmother...... The granddaughter understood. Xie Yihua was quite moved to hold Gu Ruosu's hand, she was really grateful to this grandmother who had rarely met and had no blood relationship, although she was not a blood-related relative, but she was better than a blood-related relative.
The two grandparents are holding each other's hands at the moment, although they are different in age, have different hobbies, have different interests, and have nothing to do with their blood, but at this moment, the two hearts are dependent on each other, but they are better than thousands of ......

"Madam, the fourth master took Young Master Sun and Miss Sun to ask to see you outside." Dark Blue hesitated at the door for a long time, and couldn't bear to go in to destroy the warmth of the ancestors and grandchildren, until he met the dark green who came to deliver the pastries, and the dark green knew the ins and outs, and took the initiative to take over the task for Navy, walked into the house, put the pastries on the table, and then said to Gu Ruosu and Xie Yihua.
"Good family, he won't go to court today, what is he coming to me for?" Gu Ruosu asked suspiciously, and as she spoke, she looked at Xie Yihua on the side, trying to know something.
"Father...... Did my father take a leave of absence today? Xie Yihua said subconsciously.
"Again...... Didn't your father just get promoted a few days ago, so what did he do when he took a good leave? Gu Ruosu obviously didn't know about this, and asked with a frown.
"A few days ago, my father returned all the housekeeping rights to my mother, and suddenly took all the children in the yard to my mother's house, saying that from today on, all the upbringing of the children in this courtyard will be handed over to my mother, who is the mother-in-law."
"Isn't this a good thing, your father finally stopped spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, and it is also right to give his children to his mother-in-law to raise."
"Yes, but as soon as this matter came out, the other little ladies didn't have any opinions, and they didn't dare to have any opinions, but...... That Pan Xiaoniang...... Several times I brought my children to my father and mother to make trouble, looking for death and life, and a few days ago, I even swallowed medicine, but fortunately I was pulled back......"
"Isn't this a slap in the face of your father and mother, and the two of them don't react at all......"
"Naturally, my mother has changed seven tea cups and six vases in these days, clamoring to drive Pan Xiaoniang out of the door, and my father really has no choice, so he has to take leave at home from time to time these days...... Dealing with this can happen at any time......"
"Gotcha...... I kind of understand, your father probably wants to imitate your second uncle and throw the dolls to your grandfather and me, in this way, your mother is convinced, and Pan Xiaoniang doesn't dare to come to me to make a second ......" Gu Ruosu twitched the corners of her mouth and said her conjecture helplessly......
"Grandmother, how is this good, you already have so many children here, if you take it in, I'm afraid the house won't be enough to live in......"
"Don't worry, I already have a way, your father is just sick and rushed to the doctor, let's solve this matter." After speaking, Gu Ruosu immediately said to Dark Green:
"You go out and bring the fourth master in, those children, you let Zanglan take them to play, don't come here, I don't have anything to do here."
——
(I'm a cute divider)
Dark Green got the order and immediately conveyed Gu Ruosu's meaning to Xie Haojia, but perhaps, Xie Haojia is not very sober at the moment, and he wants to take the child to ask Gu Ruosu for peace in life or death.
"The son greets his mother, and the mother is well."
"Get up, get up, sit down and say something, don't brow your eyebrows as soon as you come in, you have to mourn when you give birth to such a good skin...... It's strange ......," Gu Ruosu said unceremoniously.
When Xie Haojia heard this, he had to sit on the chair beside him obediently, took the tea handed over by Biyun, took a shallow sip, and said:
"Mother, my son's visit here is really a big deal...... I want to ask my mother to say yes...... The son does not want to work on his mother...... But son, there is really no way to do it this time......"
"Okay, okay, don't be miserable, I know what you want to say to me, you just want to be like your second brother, and leave all the children to me and your father......" Gu Ruosu ruthlessly interrupted Xie Haojia's words, and said bluntly through Xie Haojia's thoughts.
"Son, I can't stand the ...... father and mother"
"What's the use of apologizing, they all say that children are debt collectors in previous lives......
That's it...... Don't feel guilty, I know your difficulties, after so many years, I finally made up my mind to rectify the back house, and naturally I don't want to give up this opportunity like this......
But that Pan Xiaoniang is your favorite person, and Wei's is your head lady, who has been married for many years, and always has affection, and I don't want to make it so ugly...... When you think about it, you always feel that it is safest to entrust the child to me and your father...... Your father and I can understand that......"
"Son, thank you mother......" Xie Haojia heard Gu Ruosu's words, and thought that Gu Ruosu was willing to accept these children, so he hurriedly knelt down to thank Gu Ruosu for his great kindness, but Gu Ruosu said the next moment:
"I understand, but I don't agree, your father and I will never agree to take the child over to raise it anyway."
"But mother, second brother ......"
"Your second brother is different from you, your second brother entrusted the child to me because your second sister-in-law was patriarchal and abused her own flesh and blood, after all, it is not good to let a flat wife raise the children born in the main room...... This is a desperate move...... The world doesn't say anything......
But your situation is different, your wife is your wife, although her temperament is hot, but for the children, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, she always has all the rules and face, I will bring your children over to raise...... Didn't you just step on your wife's face countless times......"
"Yes...... It's the son who owes it to consideration, and the mother ...... How should my son be......" Xie Haojia immediately knew that his thoughts were incomplete, and hurriedly asked Gu Ruosu for help.
"You are a big man, you don't have any idea at all, let your father know, you will definitely be severely punished......" Gu Ruosu said to Xie Haojia with great disgust, and at the same time said his method in an orderly manner:
"We don't have much in our house, but there are many free houses, I will go back and talk to your father, and give you the empty houses next door to you, you let those children live in, and those slaves, you also let them bring in, and then each of you will invite two masters to live with these children.
One person teaches literature and one person teaches martial arts, one-on-one, teaching these children, saying to the outside world, although the children have not yet reached the age of going to school, but you think that the ability must be grasped from an early age, so from today on, all children must start learning literature or martial arts.
For the sake of teaching convenience, and in order to cultivate the children's independent ability, let them be independent in advance, and do not let their biological mother follow up to live and interfere, but they are allowed to visit, and every five days, two days off, those two days, the children can go back to their biological mother to live, which can be regarded as taking care of their mother-child relationship, and your Pan Xiaoniang cannot continue to look for death and life......
But after two days, you have to go back to your own house to live, and the cycle repeats itself, until the children are twelve years old, they can't break the rules, no matter how they cry with you or make trouble with you, for yourself and your children, and even our Xie family, you have to hold on, you understand. ”
Xie Haojia listened to the simplified version of "modern residential school life" described by Gu Ruosu, was silent for a long time, and finally, knelt on the ground and said:
"The son thanks his mother for the idea, the mother is really a heroine among women, the son has benefited a lot, after the son goes back, he will start to implement it according to what his mother said, and he will definitely not disappoint his mother's expectations!"
"Okay, don't kneel, get up, I'm your mother, naturally I have to think about you, anyway, these things, when you roughly arrange them, I'll go back and let your sixth brother and the dark green next to me help you do it, you are your child's father, it's not good to be this wicked person who separates their flesh and blood, but your sixth brother and I are rough and thick-skinned, and we are not afraid at all." Gu Ruosu said.
"Yes...... The son is grateful to his mother for thinking about her son like this, and the son will definitely learn from the pain in the future, and will not let the affairs of the back house be so chaotic again......"
Xie Haojia assured Gu Ruosu again and again, until Gu Ruosu couldn't bear to wave his hand and let Xie Haojia leave, which gave Gu Ruosu a quiet ......
And Xie Yihua, who was hiding behind the screen, shook his head again and again......
