The 229th Chapter My Son Is a Traitor (5)
He Xi's eyes were bloodshot, and the peach blossom eyes, which were inherited from the original owner, almost burst into flames.
His teeth were rattling, and it was clear that he was using his little sanity to control his impending collapse.
Although he was barely under control, he still had a belly full of questioning.
However, before he could open his mouth, He Tiantian preemptively reprimanded him in a tone of "hate iron is not steel": "Dalang, you are confused!"
He Xi was stunned for a moment, and the blood in his eyes faded a little.
Confused?
Why is he so confused? !
He just entered the door, and he hasn't done anything yet, just as usual, he casually reprimanded his wife, why does it seem like he has done something stupid and angry?
He Xi pursed his lips and looked at his mother coldly. He wanted to see what else his mother could say.
"Did you know that Erlang Guo is going back to Beijing?"
He Tiantian is familiar with the plot and knows the development of certain things very well.
He Xi was stunned again, "Guo Erlang is going back to Beijing?"
Guo Erlang is the second brother of Ankang County Lord, two years older than her.
It's just these years that he has been training troops in the northwest with Consort Guo, and has not returned to the capital for more than ten years.
As for Princess Ankang, he grew up in the palace and was not very close to his father and elder brother.
However, no matter how unfamiliar they are, they are also brothers and sisters.
As a big brother, I finally made a trip back to the capital, so I naturally wanted to visit.
If my sister is doing well, you and I are all well.
But the problem is that Princess Ankang is not doing well at He's house.
Not to mention that Ankang sued herself, but the people around her couldn't help but complain about her grievances. Guo Erlang knew something, and he would explode immediately.
He Xi, who beat soft rice hard to eat hard, was light, in case something happened to the emperor——
He Xi prides himself on being a talented person, and he believes that his future depends on his own hard work.
But he knew better in his heart that there were many talented people in the Daxia Dynasty, not to mention Jia Enke, that is, under normal circumstances, there would be a Tanhua Lang every three years.
It has been more than 20 years since the saint was enthroned today. During his reign alone, there were more than 20 champions, second places and third flowers.
Not to mention other places, only the Hanlin Academy and the Censor Terrace, there are several top three in the top 1.
He Xi had just been promoted from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Rites for two years, so he knew very well how amazing and brilliant those former colleagues were.
You say you are young, and there are younger ones.
You said that you are a tanhualang, and there are still geniuses who are even in the middle of the three yuan.
You said that you are dignified and talented, you look better than Pan An, and your export is perfect!
Only when people come to the capital and the roots of the imperial city do they know how many geniuses there are in the world?
So many talents gathered into the court, and some people were really just a flash in the pan.
What is He Xi like a tanhualang?
Working hard in the Hanlin Academy,
Or there are several champions who were sent to poor places as county magistrates.
Without the marriage of Ankang County Lord, the favor of the royal family, and the secret escort of the Guo family, He Xi, a poor boy from a poor mountain village, would never have such a smooth career.
In his twenties, he had already become a fifth-rank Beijing official, and he still held real power.
Moreover, He Xi is also expected to make further progress in the year-end exam.
At that time, he will really step into the ranks of high officials, not the little people who can't wait for the mainstream.
Outsiders said that He Xi was relying on a woman's nepotism. He was angry, and he tried his best to refute it.
But at the same time he was angry, he also understood that he was indeed dipped in the light of the Ankang County Master.
If he did something wrong to Princess Ankang, let's talk about the royal family slowly, even a prince of the state of Wei would not forgive him lightly!
And He Xi would let her own mother discuss Ankang in every possible way, also because Ankang's father and brother are at the border thousands of miles away.
Now that Guo Erlang suddenly returned to Beijing, if he were to know the grievances suffered by his sister...
hiss!
I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it at all.
He Xi felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head in the cold days, and he couldn't help shivering.
He was very smart, and after going through this in his head, he understood why his mother would beat him.
My mother didn't really want to teach him a lesson at all, but acted in front of Ankang and wanted to save him.
Realizing this, He Xi looked at He Tiantian again with gratitude and regret.
Damn him, he actually secretly hated his own mother just now!
"Do you understand?"
He Tiantian noticed the change in He Xi's eyes, and sneered secretly, but made a gratified expression on her face.
"Yeah! It's all a child who is confused and almost got into a big disaster. Fortunately, A Niang is alert—"
He Xi said happily, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his back.
"Speaking of which, I can't blame you all, even for my mother, I have done something wrong."
He Tiantian pretended to be annoyed, and reflected on herself: "I used to think that Ankang was the princess, with a noble birth, and there were saints and queen mothers behind her back."
"And how many of our mothers are, they are ordinary people from poor families."
"Phoenix flew into our chicken coop. If we weren't tougher, wouldn't we be bullied to death?"
"I, I was afraid of being bullied in the past. I am not afraid of being wronged myself, but I am worried about you and your younger siblings—"
Speaking of which, He Tiantian squeezed out a few tears.
She held the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes, her face full of sorrow.
He Xi listened to her mother's words and saw her crying again, and all kinds of childhood memories suddenly appeared in her mind.
Although my mother is good at disguise, she lives pretty well with a few men.
But in the countryside, a widow with three children is really struggling.
The long-tongued woman's pointing, the shrew's pointing and scolding Huai, the innocent cruelty of the child, and the wretched and contemptuous eyes of those men... All of them seemed to pierce He Xi's heart with a sharp arrow.
He would become so inferior because of the painful experiences of his childhood.
As a child, he has indeed suffered a lot of scorn, ridicule and bullying.
And my mother, a young and beautiful widow, suffered even more.
Originally, with her mother's condition, she could remarry a man with good conditions.
With a man and a few more children, she can live a good life again.
My grandmother and several aunts and aunts once persuaded my mother, and even found a partner.
However, for the sake of their three brothers and sisters, the biological mother knew that it would make her family unhappy, but she still gritted her teeth and refused.
For a long time, the Tian family cut off contact with the He family.
It was He Xi who passed the exam as a scholar, and He Tian became a famous chaste martyr, a virtuous wife and a good mother in four villages and eight townships, and Tian Jiacai came to him again.
The relationship between the relatives resumed, but the previous contradictions were deeply imprinted in He Xi's heart.
He is also more grateful for the sacrifice of his mother.
He Xi knew that his mother was not the kind of good person that others thought, she had such and such shortcomings.
However, she is such a "bad woman" who is good at disguising and likes to take advantage of others. She supports her three children by herself, and also supports her eldest son to study and go to school.
Others can spurn He Tian, but He Xi cannot!
But... since when did he lose the admiration and respect he had for his mother when he was a child, and instead showed some disgust and rejection? !
He Xi's heart seemed to be struck by a huge thunder, and his conscience that had almost disappeared reappeared.
"Auntie, it's not good, I'm making you worry!"
With a thud, He Xi knelt down in front of He Tiantian, respectfully and sincerely admitting her mistake.
"My son, because mother has never read a book, and has no knowledge, just because some women are careful, so I have done some wrong things."
"Oh, it almost hurt my son. In the past, our mother and son were confused, and actually regarded Ankang as an ordinary daughter-in-law!"
"I just used the way your milk gave me back then to train my daughter-in-law, but I forgot that she is not a wild girl from a village family, but a serious royal lady!"
"...Fortunately, Ankang has a good temperament. She has a child with you. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even for the sake of the child, she should not complain to her second brother!"
"Although this is the truth, our He family can't do without a clear attitude."
"Son, A-Niang has figured it out this time. Our He family has to rely on Ankang and the Duke of Wei, so we should treat her better!"
He Tiantian didn't rush to let He Xi stand up, but put on the posture of Yan's mother and godson, and talked a lot.
He Xi had just been guided by her mother to recall the past, and this was the time when she felt the most guilt and gratitude towards her mother.
At this time, I heard the earnest teaching from my mother again, and I felt even more enlightened and repentant.
"Auntie—" He Xi took two steps on her knees and came to He Tiantian, looking at her mother with great respect.
"Does it hurt?"
He Tiantian stretched out her hand and gently stroked He Xi's swollen cheeks.
Her eyes were full of pity, even a little remorse, and tears flowed out again, "Since childhood, my son has been the most sensible and obedient child. A-niang has never touched a finger of yours."
Speaking of which, He Tiantian sniffed, and suddenly put on a solemn tone, "But, my son, have you found out for yourself, you have become a bit unrecognizable recently by your mother."
"I know that when you are promoted and go out, some people will bow to you and call you He Langzhong (name of the official of the Ministry of Rites, Zhengwupin), you are no longer the poor boy from the poor family who needed to look up to others! "
"Back home, your attitude towards Ankang has also changed. Dalang, A-Niang knows your grievances, but you can't be confused!"
"The water in the capital is too deep, and our He family has no reliable in-laws other than the Weiguo Gongfu."
"If you even offend the Guo family, then, then—"
He Tiantian has been a mother several times in the novel world, and she also knows how to raise children.
He Xi is selfish and cold, and now even the mother who raised him through hardships and hardships can easily hold grudges. In addition to his nature, it is more of the connivance of the original owner.
Children, they must be disciplined.
Just blindly indulging and pampering, and slowly, he will become too selfish and not grateful.
Of course, He Tiantian also understands the original owner. The reason why she is becoming more and more obedient to her son is mainly because her son is promising.
She needs her son to live a rich and comfortable life.
She has changed from a strong family supporter to a weak person who needs to be taken care of, and her momentum and mentality have naturally changed.
In addition, in order to make a living back then, she did do some not-so-glorious things.
Afterwards, although she swept her tail clean, she would feel ashamed and guilty in the end.
In the face of the eldest son who is smart and has long understood everything, she has a feeling that she can't stand upright.
She began to back down, began to restrain her aura in front of her son, and even became a little flattering and cautious.
However, this change of hers may not be able to exchange for her son's filial piety, but will allow her son to breed other ideas.
He will slowly become self-centered, selfish, and even ungrateful.
As long as He Tian treats him a little bit badly, he can have resentment.
At that time, if the mother is not the mother and the child is not the child, He Xi will go to a dead end, and the family will be extremely miserable.
What He Tiantian wants to do is not only toss the villain and harvest hatred, but more, she also hopes to bring He Xi back to the right path.
If the child is not obedient, then hit!
Violent means can sometimes restore a person's heart more than tender concessions.
As for the original owner's guilty conscience, He Tiantian felt that it was completely unnecessary.
No matter what means the old lady used, she did not remarry, did not let her three children starve and freeze, and raised her eldest son to become the youngest Tanhua Lang in the Xia Dynasty.
The old lady is the hero of the He family and the loving mother of He Xi!
Slowly, the original owner has covered up all the scandals in the past. Even if it is disclosed, everyone in the world can despise and despise He Tian, but He Xi and other three brothers and sisters can't!
"Auntie, I know, I understand all these truths!"
He Xi was even more ashamed after hearing her mother's heart-to-heart admonition, and was especially grateful for her mother's dedication to him.
Alas, from childhood to adulthood, A-Niang loved him the most, and now, in order to wake him up, she did not hesitate to do it to herself.
The beating is in the child's body, and the pain is in the mother's heart.
A-niang beat him, and she was not sure how uncomfortable it was.
No, my mother cried again.
"Niang, don't worry, I know I was wrong, I will treat my lady well!"
A-Niang is right, although he has a firm foothold in the Ministry of Rites now, the foundation of their He family is too shallow.
Don't say offend the Guo family, just without the Guo family or Ankang behind him, he is a small fifth-rank Beijing official, and he can't make any big waves in the capital.
There are so many dignitaries in the capital as dogs. He was able to run smoothly in officialdom. The status of the Guo family's son-in-law and the husband-in-law of Ankang County really played an important role.
He must not easily lose this backer, at least not before he becomes a supreme minister!
He Xi is really smart. His previous arrogance was just complacent.
He Tiantian took a tea cup and slapped him, which completely woke him up.
He Xi wiped away her tears, got up from the ground, and helped He Tiantian back to the bed, but she still kept promise: "Auntie, Ankang, I will take care of it, and I will never let her treat He Tiantian. There is resentment in the family.”
"...It's just that the cousin's place—"
She had already agreed to take her cousin as a concubine, and her cousin was her own mother's niece. He Xi was afraid that her mother would be sad.
"Liu Niang is indeed my direct niece, but you are my son, no one can beat you!"
He Tiantian deliberately appeared to be in a dilemma, and then said with determination, "Forget about taking a concubine, I will find a good husband's family for Liu Niang later, and prepare some dowry for her, which is worthy of the Tian family. "
bang!
There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside the door.
"Ding! Tian Liuniang's hatred value +5!"
