A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 861 The Difficulties of Being a Parent

"Officer."

"What?"

Shen An would hug his son and murmur when he had time. His voice was so low that others could not hear clearly.

Yang Zhuoxue has been eating well, drinking well and resting well recently, and her overall complexion has improved a lot.

"Officer, you... you haven't touched a woman for almost a year..."

Well!

Shen An turned around and said with a smile: "You still have to confine yourself, please take it slow."

"But...can you hold it in?" Yang Zhuoxue was testing.

"What can't you hold back?" Shen An said calmly: "You are working hard to conceive a baby for me, and I can't even hold it in. What is that if you're not a beast?"

"Official..."

Yang Zhuoxue's idea was wavering.

When Mrs. Li came to the Shen family the next day to see her daughter and grandson, she saw that Yang Zhuoxue was in a daze, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yang Zhuoxue hesitated to speak. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li remembered all the random thoughts she had after giving birth to her child.

"Mom, I suspect that the official has someone outside, including children."

Well!

Mr. Li thought this was really weird.

"No way, your son-in-law is so kind to you. If he wants to find a woman, why doesn't he just bring her into the house?"

It's normal for Shen An to find a few concubines and a team of singers at home! Why did he have to go to the golden house to hide his beauty?

If Shen An hears her mother-in-law's explanation, Jubi will burst into tears and shout that her mother-in-law is wise.

"But..." Yang Zhuoxue is now stuck in the corner and can't get out, "But the official... I suspect he has someone anyway."

Li said angrily: "You are just thinking nonsense!"

Later, she was going home, and Shen An came to see her off.

"That... Anbei!"

"If mother-in-law has anything to say, just say it."

Mrs. Li looked at him and smiled bitterly: "There is some misunderstanding on Zhuo Xue's side. She is worried that you have children outside..."

"It's nothing!" So women are all good actors. Shen An didn't notice anything unusual about his wife in the past two days. If it weren't for the mother-in-law who spoke, he would have been kept in the dark.

Mrs. Li also had a headache, "I also know that this is not the case, and you don't have the skills..."

"Yes." The mother-in-law is wise, but why is the daughter-in-law so confused?

"But women will have some concerns after giving birth. You...if it's convenient, please give me some advice."

Li felt a little sorry for her son-in-law, but Shen An thought of postpartum depression, "Yes, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of."

He is indeed a good son-in-law!

Mrs. Li sighed and returned home. When Yang Jinian came home from the office in the afternoon, she talked about her daughter.

Yang Jinian frowned and said, "My son-in-law treats her well. Not only is she the only one, but he also leaves it to her to take care of the family affairs. What else can she be dissatisfied with about her husband?"

"This is a problem after giving birth, and it will get better gradually." Mrs. Li lamented the difficulty of the woman, and felt that compared with Shen An, her husband was still far behind.

"This is idle!"

Yang Jinian didn't understand depression, he always thought it was hypocrisy.

"You also had trouble for a while after you gave birth to Zhuo Xue. During that period, you were miserable as a husband! Forget it, I'll go talk to An Bei as my husband later and tell him not to worry about it."

He was talking to himself, but he didn't see that Mrs. Li's eyebrows were bristling.

"How hard is it for a woman to give birth? You men just sit back and watch, and you say sarcastic remarks... If I had known that I would have given birth to Zhuo Xue, I wouldn't have given birth..."

Well!

After Yang Jinian was told this, he became dissatisfied and said: "A woman's opinion!"

"Haha!" Mrs. Li sneered: "In your opinion, women are all short-sighted... I turned around and found a short-sighted one. You can also find a younger one..."

A woman's ability to attack in tandem can probably outshine a man. If Yang Jinian was his opponent, he would walk away in an instant.

"I don't know the same as you!"

"Then don't share a bed with me!"

A war broke out in the Yang family, and the Shen family and Shen An were also thinking about how to get their wives to clear up their suspicions.

"Calculate the time."

After thinking for a long time, Shen An finally came up with a stupid way to put his general whereabouts in the past year on a piece of paper.

Last year, except for leaving Bianliang, he was either in court or at home. He can be called a model of homebody.

Especially after Yang Zhuoxue became pregnant, his life focused on one thing.

Take the daughter-in-law as the center point.

When sorting out the general whereabouts of last year, Shen An couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Brother also did a lot of great things last year!

He gained a lot of benefits for the Song Dynasty and the brothers.

Shen An looked at those 'glorious deeds' and couldn't help but sigh.

"Call Zhao Wuwu."

As soon as Zhao Wuwu came in, he subconsciously crossed his arms, making Shen An's head full of black lines.

"you this……"

He wanted to get angry, but then he thought about whether his wife felt that he was very attractive and was worried that other women outside would be attracted by moths to the flames?

Yes, that's for sure.

So Shen An was in a good mood and handed the piece of paper to Zhao Wuwu: "Give it to my wife."

"yes."

Zhao Wuwu also reacted subconsciously, and felt a little embarrassed afterwards.

She went all the way to the back. Yang Zhuoxue had just finished feeding Taro, and Mrs. Chen put her to sleep and put her on the bed.

"Other families hire nannies...our family doesn't have the money, so why not hire one?"

Aunt Chen is currently taking care of Yang Zhuoxue and her children part-time, and is slowly turning into a talkative person.

"What's this?"

Yang Zhuoxue took the folded paper.

Zhao Wuwu glanced at the sleeping taro and said, "Lang Jun asked his slave to send it."

Yang Zhuoxue said angrily: "Why do officials do this..."

Everyone is at home, why do you want to write a love letter... It's very embarrassing, okay?

She slowly opened the paper, and then her expression froze.

Aunt Chen was whispering to Zhao Wuwu on the side that taro was white, tender and cute, and that she would definitely have a majestic appearance in the future...

"Official..."

this……

Why is the lady crying?

Aunt Chen and Zhao Wuwu looked at each other, wondering what was going on?

Did the man bully his wife?

Sure enough, he is not a good man!

Zhao Wuwu couldn't help but feel worthless for Yang Zhuoxue.

You have worked so hard to give birth to a son for him, and he actually has the ability to make you cry and be sad.

"Guanren... I have made Guanren feel wronged."

Huh!

Let me go, this is... is the lady twitching?

"I'm going to see the officials..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't!" Aunt Chen, with a pale face, went over and held down Yang Zhuoxue, who was about to get out of bed. "Madam, you can't do this! You are still recuperating. If you go out and see the wind, you will suffer in your old age."

Yang Zhuoxue struggled for a while, and finally buried her face in the soft pillow and said angrily: "I have no shame to see the officials."

what does this mean?

The two were confused. At this moment, Shen An came in from outside.

Shen An waved his hand, and Aunt Chen and Zhao Wuwu resigned, leaving space for the couple.

And the little taro who sleeps most of the day.

The door closed softly, and Yang Zhuoxue felt that the silence in the room was a bit strange, so she slowly turned over.

"Official..."

She covered her face and lay down again. Shen An sat beside her and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think you are ugly and you are embarrassed to let Taro see you?"

Yang Zhuoxue still didn't move.

Shen An smiled and said: "Oh, it seems that I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and I'm so stinky that I'm embarrassed..."

"It doesn't stink."

Yang Zhuoxue's voice was filtered by the cotton pillow and sounded a little distorted.

"Stinks."

"It really doesn't stink. If you don't believe it, smell it..."

The Shen family became close again. Mrs. Li went to see her. When she came back, she said happily: "Zhuo Xue is so lucky to find this husband! She leads an enviable life."

Yang Jinian, who has received a lot of cold looks recently, held a book, glanced sideways at Mr. Li, and said calmly: "Aren't you lucky yourself?"

Isn't it luck that you married me, Yang Jinian?

Mrs. Li immediately smiled and said, "Yes! I have been lucky all my life...but I haven't seen smiling faces a few times, so it's like I owe a debt."

It was Yang Jinian's habit to keep a straight face, but when it came to having a debt-ridden face, this one really didn't count.

"woman……"

Yang Jinian stood up and walked away.

I don’t have the same understanding as women!

Depressed at home, Yang Jinian went out to look for food.

Bianliang is a city that never sleeps, with a full range of food, drink and entertainment available day and night.

Yang Jinian found a wine shop, went in and ordered a small jar of wine.

No matter how old-fashioned a man is, he still has some thoughts of a happy life in his heart, but Yang Jinian's daughters are all married, so it is probably impossible to live a happy life.

"What kind of food does your guest want?" The waiter felt that Yang Jinian looked like a decent man, so he would definitely spend a lot of money.

"Dish... a plate of beans." Yang Jinian said numbly.

Well!

This is an old man!

How did he know that Yang Jinian had been struggling to support his family these years.

At first it was better to have only one daughter, but after his son came into this world, UU Reading www.uukknshu.netehe was under great pressure.

Yang Zhuoxue does not need to go to school, Li and Yang Jinian can teach her at home. But my son Yang Zhuochao is different!

According to Chinese tradition, a daughter will become someone else's family sooner or later, but a son will be relied upon for the rest of his life, so he must be strict and let him receive the best education.

So while Yang Zhuochao complained every day that he had no fun studying, Yang Jinian and his wife found that they didn't have enough money.

What to do?

The couple tossed and turned for countless nights, and finally Yang Jinian came up with a stupid idea.

save!

If they can't open up more resources, they should cut back on expenditures.

From then on, Yang Jinian rarely made new clothes, and the simpler and more economical his meals, the better. Everything was done to save money for his children.

After persisting until his daughter got married, Yang Jinian could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A small jar of wine would have been something the former Yang Jinian would have been reluctant to part with.

But even if he was willing to give it up, he was still stingy as usual and only wanted a small plate of beans to go with his drink.

Drinking wine and eating beans, no one around me recognizes me...

Such an environment made Yang Jinian smile rarely and feel very relaxed.

Husband, father...colleagues, subordinates...a series of identities made him exhausted, and it was the right time to relax.

A businessman nearby was muttering.

"The navy went to Jiaozhi and came back with so many things. It shows that there is money overseas!"

"You are rich. There are so many gold, silver and jewelry, and they are overseas..."

The businessman looked around cautiously. Yang Jinian was drinking blankly, but he was listening intently.

"The natives overseas use gold and silver as copper coins! They think they have made a lot of money by exchanging a piece of gold for a small knife..."

The third update is here, good night!
