The General's Mansion is located on Qinglong Street in the east of the Imperial Palace, and the mansion is seven in, which is very magnificent.

No matter who sees it, they must praise the royal favor is extremely heavy, after all, there are either princesses or princesses on this street, and the emperor does not value and distrust the general.

But the world has forgotten that putting a male lion by one's side is certainly trust and dependence, but it may also be beware and surveillance!

In the general's mansion, the middle-aged general's wife sat on the main seat of the main courtyard, her dress was simple, and there were even a few simple hairpin rings on her head, but these could not weaken her beauty.

Dignified and beautiful, the atmosphere is steady, and it is rare that there are three points of perseverance between the eyebrows and eyes.

At this moment, her two sons and daughter-in-law were sitting on the chairs on the left and right hands, and they did not look good.

The eldest son, Zhao Ye, who is twenty-five or sixteen years old, is a five-grade official in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and his wife is Jiang Shi, the daughter of his boss, and the husband and wife get along harmoniously and act steadily.

At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law Jiang Shi was persuading her mother-in-law in a low voice, "Mother, don't be anxious, we can discuss this matter in the long run, there will always be a way." ”

Zhao Zhi also nodded, "Yes, mother." My father did a big thing, and Mo said that there was still some foundation in the family, even if there was none, I had to find a way to support it. ”

But Zhao Qiong, the youngest son on the side, disagreed.

Because he is a young son, and he was born without his father by his side to discipline him, he inevitably learned a habit of being a gentleman, and he is best at eating, drinking and having fun, but he has no overall situation and backbone in his heart.

He retorted impatiently, "Big brother and sister-in-law are really easy to say, just like this family, you have the final say!" ”

His daughter-in-law, Chen, was born in a family of small officials, and was famous for her beauty.

But Chen's beauty is beautiful, more narrow-minded, greedy and calculating. I don't like my mother-in-law, but I breathe out of the same nostril with my husband.

Just like at this moment, the Chen family immediately echoed with a strange yin and yang spirit, "Yes, eldest brother and sister-in-law, even if you are the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, you will inherit this general's mansion in the future, but we are also part of the family." You can't do anything, you sell favors, we suffer, there is no reason for this! ”

Zhao Zhi frowned when he heard this, but he couldn't scold his brother and daughter-in-law, so Jiang Shi opened his mouth, "What did the second brother and the second brother and sister say?" The mother is still there, and the mother naturally has the final say at home.

"And although my father is guarding the border outside, he has commands, and we must obey the children as children......"

"Humph!" Zhao Qiong snorted coldly, interrupted her sister-in-law's words, and said mockingly, "Sister-in-law pretends to be on weekdays, forget it, save your energy today!" Listen to that brainless words again, I'm afraid that the family will be pawned! ”

"Smack!" The general's wife, who had not spoken, smashed the tea bowl directly, and the tea splashed her youngest son's face, and the tea bowl hit the pillar behind it, falling and shattering.

Chen screamed and jumped up, pulled the handkerchief to wipe her husband's face, and wanted to complain about her mother-in-law, but she swallowed the words with anger and fright on her mother-in-law's face.

"Zhao Qiong, who gave you the courage to dare to be disrespectful to your father! For the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan and the peace of the people, not to mention how much hard work he has endured at the border, he is the father who gave birth to you and raised you! That's what I teach you on weekdays, and I actually call him brainless? ”

The general's wife is also from the Jiangmen, but she is not as prominent as the Zhao family. For so many years, the general was not in Kyoto, and she supported the general's mansion alone, without being a little spicy and ruthless.

At this moment, she was really angry, and Zhao Qiong was also scared, cowardly defending, "I just said it in passing...... Why is my mother angry? Besides, I've seen him two or three times since I was born, and he doesn't remember what I look like.

"If he can't take care of the family on weekdays, forget it, my mother is hard, and we are distressed. But why is he still dragging his feet, every time he writes back, he asks for silver! ”

As he spoke, he felt reasonable, and his tone became resentful.

"The family's property was left by my grandfather, and my mother worked hard to support the great general's mansion, so why did he use it to support the border army! He doesn't care if we live or die! ”

"Shut up!" Zhao Zhi saw that his mother's face was not good, and hurriedly scolded his younger brother, "There are parents in the world, and the second brother must not disrespect his father!" My father is far away at the border, so he must not know the difficulties of the family.

Moreover, the military power of the border army is the foundation of the family's life, and the imperial court ...... In short, my father must have considered and arranged something to write a letter to his family! ”

"That's not necessarily," Chen pouted and muttered in a low voice, "There is no money at home, there is no food, and I am afraid that my father doesn't care at all." He only cares about the border army and does that thankless job! ”

"Get out!" The general's wife couldn't hold back any longer, and opened her mouth to pick up her youngest son and daughter-in-law. Originally, I was looking for them to discuss, but I didn't expect them to disappoint people again.

Zhao Qiong and Chen got up, seven disobeyed and eight saluted, and then left.

When Chen Qiong walked out of the door, she still didn't forget to shout, "Mother, I don't agree to sell the property to give silver to that person!" I have a share of this property, even if I sell it, I can't touch my share! ”

It's a pity that it was a tea bowl that answered him, and the frightened Chen family who also wanted to help the head of the rat!

Jiang Shi stretched out his hand to help his mother-in-law pat her on the back, and whispered to persuade, "Mother, the second brother is still young and ignorant, just grow up!" ”

"He has become his own son, and he has already supported the door in someone else's house!" The general's wife regretted it very much, "I felt sorry that he had not been taught by his father since he was a child, and he doted on him a lot, but now that I think about it, it is really a big mistake."

"Originally, I married a good daughter-in-law, and I could help him mention a few words, but I married back such a small-bellied chicken intestine thing, and I couldn't wait to leave my eyes in the warehouse all day long, for fear of suffering!

"Hey, I really don't have the face to see your father, let him be so ...... by his son How sad he should be! ”

The general's wife had red eyes and tried her best to hold back her tears.

Chen Zhi hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Mother, how to teach my younger brother is a matter for the future." The thing in front of me is to make up the three thousand taels for my father.

"According to my father's arrangement, if we successfully grow high-yield grain next year, we will no longer have to be constrained by military food in the future. Even if the court is dissatisfied, for the sake of saving military rations, it will not be punished. ”

The general's wife nodded and replied solemnly, "Your father's consideration must be far-reaching than ours, even if we are more difficult, we must help him." The small village in the suburbs has 100 acres of fertile land, 20 acres of horse farms, and a hill, which is a rare and good place. It's better to release the news to change hands, if the buyer is kind, three thousand taels should be enough. ”

"Mother rest assured, I personally arranged for someone to deal with it. You just need to prepare clothes and supplies for your father, and when the time comes, you can get the silver ticket back and send it back to the border immediately. Zhao Zhi got up and was about to get busy.

The general's wife instructed, "Be careful, don't cause outsiders to talk, at this time, the less people know, the safer your father will be." ”

At this time, Jiang Shi opened his mouth to stop her husband.
