Chapter 219 Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Angrily Attack Xiao Yuanyi (Please Vote for Me!!!)
Qin Hao originally planned to run away, but Emperor Wen directly slapped the table and shouted: "Go, bring that kid over to me!"
"promise."
After the eunuch retreated, Emperor Wen sighed, paced back and forth, and said to Qin Hao: "Why can't you tell Zi Sheng to understand my painstaking efforts? King Yong deserves to be killed, but he shouldn't do it!"
Although Qin Hao has been in Rong County, he still has some understanding of the situation in the capital. Less than half a year after King Yong's rebellion, he was annihilated by Ling Buyi, and the whole family of King Yong and his son were escorted back to the capital for trial.
The reason why Ling Buyi wanted to kill King Yong was because King Yong was one of the participants in the Huo family massacre.
As Emperor Wen's favorite adopted son, to outsiders, Ling Buyi's behavior was the behavior of Emperor Wen, which would inevitably chill the hearts of the vassals everywhere. After all, King Yong was also a powerful general back then and had made great contributions to Emperor Wen.
Qin Hao was originally reluctant to get involved in this kind of thing, but he had a good relationship with Ling Buyi, so he comforted him in a low voice.
"King Yong committed treason and killed the general He Yong. Only He Zhaojun and his younger brother were left in the clan. They died unjustly. If this is the case, your majesty will be accommodating. What if other vassal kings follow suit? ?”
In fact, Emperor Wen didn't want to punish Ling Buyi at all, so he used Po Xia Donkey to say, "Well, what Qin Aiqing said is true."
Ling Buyu came not long after, and was slightly surprised when he saw Qin Hao. Emperor Wen slapped the table and said angrily: "Kneel down!"
Ling Buyi was very obedient and knelt down directly.
Emperor Wen walked up to Ling Buyi angrily: "Why don't you cherish your own feathers so much? Even if King Yong says he is a prince, how will you let other people see you in the future?"
Ling Buyi said expressionlessly: "Everyone is responsible for what he does. If your majesty wants to kill or behead him, I will never complain."
Emperor Wen almost choked to death, so he could only wink at Qin Hao and ask him to rescue him.
Qin Hao secretly rolled his eyes, considering Ling Busuo's character, if it were another emperor, he would have been dragged out and executed long ago.
"Your Majesty, Zi Sheng is also aggrieved for General He. This is pitiable. Please give him a gentle punishment."
Emperor Wen looked at Qin Hao and then at Ling Buyi, and couldn't help but sigh, looking at his son.
"Well, what Zihan said makes sense, so I will spare you this time. If there is another time, see how I deal with you, get out!"
"No." Ling Buyi remained expressionless and bowed before retreating.
When Qin Hao saw that his mission was completed, he quickly left.
When leaving, Ling Buyi suddenly said to Qin Hao: "Thank you."
Qin Hao waved his hand: "Your Majesty has no intention of punishing you at all, otherwise my words would be useless."
"I know, but I still want to thank you." Ling Buyi's tone became warmer when he said this.
Qin Hao shook his head and said you're welcome, and then the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.
Walking to the entrance of the palace, Ling Buyu suddenly asked: "I heard you gave birth to a boy?"
Qin Hao smiled: "Well, he is half a year old and very noisy. Maybe he will be very naughty when he grows up."
"How does it feel after getting married?" Ling Buyi asked after being silent for a while.
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "With care, no matter where you go, there will always be a light behind you."
Ling Buyi fell into deep thought and said quietly for a long time: "It seems that I am indeed not suitable for marriage."
After saying this, Ling Buyi got on his horse, raised his whip and drove away.
When Qin Hao returned home, Wan Qiqi happened to come to see Cheng Shaoshang. Wan Qiqi, who was very nervous, wanted to take off Cheng Shaoshang's shirt curiously to see how such a big little guy got into her belly. from.
Cheng Shaoshang was so happy, and strange to say, the little guy was very familiar with life. Except for Cheng Shaoshang and Nannan, anyone who held him for a long time would cry, even the wet nurse. As a result, Wan Qiqi used a kind of holding method to hold winter melons. With the gesture of hugging, the little guy actually smiled silly.
However, Wan Qiqi didn't buy it, and soon she left the little guy to Cheng Shaoshang, saying that holding such a thing was more tiring than practicing weapons in the martial arts field for a day.
Cheng Shaoshang laughed at her: "It sounds like you won't get married in the future."
Wan Qiqi propped her chin up: "It would be best if you could not get married. Look at you wandering around a little kid all day long. You are not as comfortable as you were in Rong County."
"Actually, everyone has his own thing, okay." Cheng Shaoshang pursed his lips. Although this little guy was quite annoying sometimes, now he felt like he would be too busy thinking about it if he didn't see him for a while.
Wan Qiqi didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic. She couldn't understand Cheng Shaoshang's mood at all, so she changed the topic and started gossiping with Cheng Shaoshang.
"Hey, have you heard? He Zhaojun is back."
Cheng Shaoshang's impression of He Zhaojun still remained at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, when he was arrogant and domineering.
Wan Qiqi actually sympathized with He Zhaojun, perhaps because they were both family members of a military commander.
"The He family is too miserable. All the men in the family are dead except for He Zhaojun's younger brother. It is said that he returned to the capital this time to fulfill General He's last wish and marry Lou Yao."
Cheng Shaoshang also felt sad when he heard this: "General He is also a loyal and brave man, and Nannan's family also rebelled because of Fan Chang."
Speaking of this, Cheng Shaoshang subconsciously glanced at his daughter playing in the yard, fearing that she would hear and cause sadness.
Wan Qiqiu whispered again: "Actually, the worst one is Lou Yao. He Zhaojun broke off the engagement with Lou Yao and attached himself to Prince Yong. As a result, the whole family was killed by King Yong, and he turned around and wanted to marry Lou Yao. marry."
The two chatted some more gossip until Wan Qiqi left after dinner in the afternoon. In the evening, Cheng Shaoshang told Qin Hao about Lou Yao and He Zhaojun, with sympathy in his tone.
Qin Hao pinched her cheek: "Actually, Lou Yao and He Zhaojun are also suitable."
"But He Zhaojun is married after all. Chao Qin Muchu would be too unfair to Lou Yao." Cheng Shaoshang said softly.
Qin Hao analyzed: "Lou Yao is the daughter of the second room of the Lou family. There is a Taifu Lou in the court. In order to maintain his position, Taifu Lou has been suppressing the second room for many years. Lou Yao's eldest brother Lou Ben is also quite influential. Talented people, but they never get the opportunity to serve in official positions.”
"Although all the adult men in General He's family have died, he still has money and troops. With these trump cards, he dare not go too far compared to Mrs. Lou. And the reason why General He asked He Zhaojun to remarry Lou Yao, it is also because he sees that Lou Yao has a pure nature and will not covet the He family's property or tribe. When the youngest son in the family grows up, the He family can stand up again."
The ancients paid a price for the continuation and prosperity of their families that future generations cannot imagine or even understand.
But this is how the Chinese nation survives to this day. Behind every surname and every family tree, it is written with the blood of our ancestors.
When Cheng Shaoshang heard Qin Hao's analysis, he looked astonished: "It turns out that there is so much thought and care in this, but I didn't notice it at all. Husband, have I become stupid?"
Qin Hao smiled and pulled her into his arms, jokingly saying: "One pregnancy will make you stupid for three years, and you will be fine in three years."
"Pfft, husband, where did you hear this nonsense?" Before Cheng Shaoshang finished speaking, Qin Hao was already impatient.
"Madam, it's been a long night with no intention of sleeping, why don't we work harder and give Yu'er a younger brother and sister?"
Cheng Shaoshang rolled her eyes at Qin Hao, but did not refuse. She submissively allowed Qin Hao to hold her up.
Go to the bed and lift the bed curtain.
A moment of endless spring.
The next day, Qin Hao and Cheng Shaoshang slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. Ever since they had a child, they had never slept so comfortably, and they almost forgot about the little one.
It wasn't until he got up to wash up that Cheng Shaoshang remembered to ask his personal maid Lianfang.
"Where's Yu'er? Why is Yu'er so quiet today?"
In the past, the little guy would have been impatient to find his mother at this time.
Lianfang said with a smile: "The old lady took Miss Nannan and Master Yu over and said not to disturb the master and his wife's rest."
In ancient times, when you had a child, you could call him "Master", so Qin Yuan was naturally upgraded to "Lao Madam".
Mrs. Qin Yuan has good intentions. She has a little grandson who is of course a precious treasure. However, one child is not safe after all. She also wants Cheng Shaoshang to have more. There is no way. Who makes Qin Hao not have one until now? Taking concubines, the task of continuing the family can only be left to Cheng Shaoshang.
Cheng Shaoshang was not really pregnant for three years. He immediately understood his mother-in-law's intention and rarely blushed.
Qin Hao and Cheng Shaoshang came to the front hall after washing up. Nannan was playing with the little guy. The little guy had grown up among women. The nanny was holding him. Qin Yuan was watching and asked Nannan to accompany him. Stay or cry.
However, after Cheng Shaoshang came, the little guy didn't buy anyone's account. It wasn't until Cheng Shaoshang held him in his arms that he calmed down.
"Come here, here is the medicated diet recipe that I specifically asked for from Doctor Wang of the Imperial Hospital. Try it and see how it tastes."
Ever since Cheng Shaoshang gave birth to a child in the Qin family, Mrs. Qin Yuan's attitude towards her has been completely different. The doting one, who didn't know it, thought that Mrs. Qin Yuan was her biological mother.
"Well, it tastes very good, thank you mother." Cheng Shaoshang took a taste. Although there was some taste of traditional Chinese medicine, the pigeon was also very delicious, with a good texture and not greasy.
Mrs. Qin Yuan was also very happy when she heard this: "As long as you like it, I will let the kitchen cook it for you in the future. It's a pity that I have been living in a remote place in the middle of Shu for three years, so I need to make up for it."
Qin Hao suddenly had the illusion that he was an outsider.
In the afternoon, the Cheng family sent someone to tell them that Cheng Shi wanted to see his grandson and invited the Qin family to have dinner with the Cheng family.
When Qin Hao thought that he hadn't visited his father-in-law's house this time, it was really unreasonable, so he agreed.
Originally, the Qin Yuan family did not think highly of the Cheng family, but for the sake of Cheng Shaoshang and his grandson, they still prepared a generous gift. The whole family, except Qin Fang who was going to court, all went to the Cheng family as guests. .
Turn around, Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong were waiting at the door early in the morning. The two young men looked a lot more mature after not seeing each other for three years.
"I did a divination early this morning, and the divination said that relatives and friends will come to my house today, and it is indeed true." Cheng Shaogong still looked like he was nagging, but this guy seems to be pretty accurate in fortune-telling. I don't know if he is. Blind.
Cheng Song was a bit calmer: "Brother-in-law, Niao Niao has finally welcomed you and met Mrs. Qin."
As a group of people walked inside, Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong were attracted by the little guy in Cheng Shaoshang's arms. At this time, the little guy was almost eight months old, and his little appearance had fully grown, with a tiger-headed appearance.
Arriving at the front hall, Cheng Shi was already waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw everyone coming, he only had time to say hello to Mr. Qin Yuan, then he pushed Brother Cheng Song away and came closer to Cheng Shaoshang to see that he had never been masked. grandson.
"Hey, this little guy looks really energetic, look at those big eyes." Cheng Shi liked him more and more the more he looked at him. However, due to his limited education, he lacked words to praise him.
Xiao Yuanyi actually wanted to see his grandson, but he couldn't save face, so he squeezed past and could only invite Qin Yuanshi into the house.
After entering late autumn, the weather was already a little cold, so Qin Yuan reminded her: "My father-in-law, let's go inside. Niao Niao is wearing thin clothes today and cannot bear the cold."
Cheng Shi slapped his forehead: "Look, I'm so happy. Come on, let's get into the house quickly. Don't let my precious grandson freeze to death."
Xiao Yuanyi was a little embarrassed when she heard this. What made her even more embarrassed was that Cheng Shaoshang helped Qin Yuanshi cross the threshold with his intimate gestures, as if they were mother and daughter. When she thought about her daughter, she had never been so filial and considerate in front of her. However, Xiao Yuanyi felt panicked in her heart.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but smile when she saw the generous gift from the Qin family. She smiled at everyone she met. Although it was a bit vulgar, she was sincere. Mrs. Qin and Yuan didn't mind at all, and even chatted with her for the first time. .
Mrs. Cheng was also troubled when she saw the little guy, and asked Cheng Shaoshang: "How is your third uncle doing? Isn't there still no boy and half girl after all these years?"
Cheng Zhi is still serving as the county magistrate in Hua County, but Hua County is still a bit far away from Rong County, so he has not taken advantage of this opportunity, and his performance is not outstanding.
Cheng Shaoshang exchanges one or two letters with Sang Shunhua almost every month. He knows the situation of Cheng Zhi and his wife quite well. Sang Shunhua is already quite old. He has not had children in these years, so it is probably difficult for him to have one. The child is a child. This kind of problem will be considered a difficult disease even in future generations, and Qin Hao has no solution.
This has become a worry for Mrs. Cheng. After all, Cheng Zhi is her most beloved son.
Cheng Shi saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he smoothed things over and said, "Why are you bringing this up on such a happy day for my mother?"
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she felt even worse and cried: "Everyone of you has grown up, but he insists on marrying a woman who doesn't bear fruit. If he gets old in the future, he won't even have anyone to die with." .”
Xiao Yuanyi felt very unhappy after hearing this. After all these years, her mother-in-law still favored her younger son. She gave birth to three sons and one daughter to the Cheng family, and she had never heard a word of praise from her mother-in-law.
Although Mrs. Qin and Yuan looked down on Mrs. Cheng's businesslike appearance, for Cheng Shaoshang's sake, she just ignored her.
After finally waiting for Mrs. Cheng to stop making trouble, Xiao Yuanyi quickly asked someone to serve the food.
Qin Hao noticed that the utensils used by the Cheng family at this time were all porcelain.
Cheng Shi also praised: "Zihan, this porcelain is really exquisite and durable. Nowadays, almost every household in the capital has such a set for entertaining guests, but it is too easy to break."
Although the price of porcelain has dropped a lot in the past two years, it is still a bit expensive for ordinary people. Many people still use pottery at home on a daily basis, and only take out porcelain to entertain guests when they come.
Mrs. Cheng looked at Qin Hao with greedy eyes. She had seen with her own eyes how profitable this porcelain was. In the past two years, the Qin family had bought more than a dozen and thousands of acres of farmland near the capital in Zhuangzi alone. Then How much does it cost?
In fact, Qin Hao was also a little helpless about the Qin Yuan family's crazy buying of land when they had money. It seemed that the Chinese people had an obsession with land in their bones. In their impression, land will always maintain its value and can continue to create output. existence, this is leaving assets for future generations.
After the banquet, Xiao Yuanyi wanted to keep Cheng Shaoshang at home for a while and take the opportunity to see his grandson up close. However, Cheng Shaoshang remembered that his daughter was still at home, so he proposed to go back first.
When Xiao Yuanyi was disappointed, she blurted out: "Is this family nothing worthy of your nostalgia?"
Cheng Shaoshang's face suddenly became ugly. She looked sullen and met Xiao Yuanyi's gaze without any fear.
"I grew up in the old house. My second aunt treated me worse than a servant. The same goes for my grandmother. I have only lived here for a few years. What does my mother think is worthy of my nostalgia?"
Xiao Yuanyi became angry from embarrassment: "You are so disobedient. Is this how you talk to your mother?"
Cheng Shaoshang was about to retort, but Qin Yuan pulled her behind her, straightened her clothes, and said to Xiao Yuanyi.
"My mother-in-law, now that Niao Nuo is the daughter-in-law of my Qin family, I won't bother you to discipline her. As for being disobedient, after marrying into my Qin family, Niao Nuo has always been well-behaved and courteous to her elders. How come she has become a disobedient to my mother-in-law? Should my mother-in-law reflect on what she has done and whether it deserves the respect of the younger generation?"
After saying that, Qin Yuan ignored Xiao Yuanyi, who was turning blue and white, and pulled Cheng Shaoshang away.
On the way back, Mrs. Qin Yuan specially comforted Cheng Shaoshang: "Just keep less contact with your mother from now on. I have seen many eccentric parents in the world, and I have never seen your mother be so eccentric."
Cheng Shaoshang wiped his tears: "Everyone talks about the power of the world, but who knows that parents can also have power over their children. Just because the children have not grown up as they expected, they can't see right and left, everywhere. against."
Mrs. Qin Yuan gently hugged Cheng Shaoshang and comforted her: "Good boy, you are the daughter-in-law of my Qin family. I will never let you suffer such injustice again in the future."
After Cheng Shaoshang left, Xiao Yuanyi staggered and almost lost her balance. Cheng Shi quickly supported her while complaining.
"Hey, why are you doing this? The children are already married and have children, so it's not our turn to discipline them!"
Xiao Yuanyi held her forehead and pushed her husband away: "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"
Cheng Song couldn't help but interjected: "Mom, you said that you were disciplining Niao Niao to prevent her from being laughed at by her husband's family, but now you have seen that Niao Niao is living well in her husband's family, but we have become the joke."
Cheng Shaogong also complained on behalf of his sister: "Yes, I don't know what the Qin family will think of us after we go back."
Xiao Yuanyi could no longer hold on and fell to the ground: "Okay, your wings have grown hard, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted.
