Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

July.

Minglan's maid Danju married her cousin who loved her.

Of course Chen Tao didn't go. It wasn't because he was too busy with work to join in the fun, nor was it because it was hot and he didn't want to go out, but Hongyu's brother happened to be a father, and he had to accompany Hongyu to play.

There is also a Hongyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Since her surname is also Lin, her name is only one character different from Daiyu's, so her name is changed to Xiaohong.

Of course, Chen Tao's Hongyu is different from that Hongyu. That Hongyu is very good at talking, while this Hongyu is similar to Jia Yingchun, a soft girl, but not so exaggerated as to have an outrageous nickname like "Second Wood". At least after being bullied, she knows to tell Chen Tao and let her husband stand up for her and get back on her feet.

When they arrived at her brother's house, everyone saw that Chen Tao had also come, and naturally they all looked up to Hong Yu. Her brother and his wife wanted to kowtow to Chen Tao, but Chen Tao exempted them from the request. Then they distributed money and various gifts, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

One of Hongyu's cousins ​​even had the audacity to suggest that Chen Tao wait until she was two years older and then take her as his concubine.

Chen Tao observed her for a while and found that she was a good-looking girl and her parents seemed interested as well, so he simply agreed to her request as if it was a joke.

When the bold girl heard this, she was so ashamed that she hid in her room, as if she was waiting to get married from now on.

When they were having lunch together at noon, he coaxed her out, and she sat shyly beside him and poured wine for Chen Tao.

Life circumstances are different.

While the maids from wealthy families held poetry gatherings in the gardens, the maids from the countryside had to go to the fields under the scorching sun and deliver food and water to their working parents and brothers and sisters-in-law.

Seven years old at a different table?
Can’t see other men?
These rules have nothing to do with most girls in this world.

Being able to travel back in time and become a concubine's daughter of an official family like Minglan is already extremely lucky!
In the book, Minglan is quite Versailles.

She felt that although it was hard to be in charge of such a large mansion, she was very comfortable... You are not working hard at all!

He has a lot of maids and old women, even more than Jia Baoyu. If this is still hard, then the lives of other people in the world must be like purgatory, right?

What would have happened to Yuanyuan if there was no Chen Tao?

It can only be that life is like a journey, and she is just a passerby!

And it’s the same sentence as before: There’s no need to frown in front of you.

She is a singer who is sad because of other people's separation sorrow! She is the Pipa girl who can't marry a merchant, she is the Liuli lady who can't meet a young scholar, she is Man Niang who was kicked away by Gu Er after playing with her, and she is reduced to a plaything and has a dark life.

So, don’t travel through time blindly, especially to ancient times.

Of course, this does not apply to cheating. As long as you can cheat, even if you give the emperor ten big fights every day, he will be happy to do it like a jerk; as long as you can cheat, even if you have a million soldiers, they will give up all resistance for you and let the nine clans disappear.

evening.

Chen Tao returned home, first had dinner with Mrs. Liang and chatted for a while, and then went to Molan's room.

She had also eaten dinner and took a short walk accompanied by her maid. After returning to the room, she lay down on the bed, wearing a thin, loose and breathable maternity dress. She had taken off all the decorations on her body. Her black hair was loose, which was good enough for a commercial. She exuded amazing charm under the glass lamp.

Her own son Liang Run was playing with wooden toys on his knees. When he saw Chen Tao coming in, he immediately danced with joy, stretched out his short legs, and rushed towards his father.

This kid is almost two years old. He is cute and smart. He and his younger brother Liang Ze are both Mrs. Liang's apples and oranges. If Chen Tao hadn't insisted on letting Molan and Minglan raise them, Mrs. Liang would definitely have taken both brothers away.

Of course, she was not torturing her daughter-in-law in this way, but she really loved her.

Compared with Old Lady Sheng, the so-called legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi, Mrs. Liang is more like Grandmother Jia in Dream of the Red Chamber.

She was not worried about her eldest son not being able to inherit the title, and the fourth son was obviously not something she needed to worry about. Although the third son did not learn much from his studies, he was a very honest person and did not require her to worry about him.

In this way, wouldn't she be enjoying playing with her grandchildren?
This is an ancient society where people are considered rare at the age of 70. She is almost 50, can't she enjoy herself? All household affairs are left to the eldest daughter-in-law, and the two daughters-in-law of the younger son also help out. How great is that? Why should she learn from the old lady of the Sheng family, who lingered and refused to leave, only to make her daughters-in-law unhappy and causing discord in the family!
Chen Tao picked up his eldest son, walked over to sit next to Molan, then kissed the boy on the face seven or eight times, and deliberately rubbed him with his beard for a while.

Of course he didn't despise it. Instead, he reached out and hugged his father tightly, like a little tiger who was enjoying being petted.

But his mother became jealous and also grabbed her husband's arm, demanding intimacy.

Chen Tao naturally didn't refuse and slapped her on the face several times.

However, since the nanny had tactfully left the house at this time, she soon became dissatisfied with just scratching the surface.

Chen Tao is a good man, so he covered his son's eyes and went to taste the rouge his mother used today.

What? Not useful today? Not important.

What’s important is that the intention is there.

When the loving interaction ended, the two got down to business.

First, it was about family matters, such as what Grandma Liang had complained about, what good things Second Grandma Liang had sent, and what Third Grandma Liang had talked about when she came over to play cards.

These are not the point.

The key point is that Sheng Changfeng also sent some gifts, which made Molan think of her suffering mother.

Chen Tao comforted him, "Mo'er, don't worry too much. I have a feeling that in two years at most, your father-in-law will take your mother back to the city."

Molan said happily, "Really? Daddy will really accept it? You didn't lie to me, did you? My mom is so fat, how can Daddy still like her?"

Of course I will answer it!
When Princess Yuan came home to visit her parents, Master Zheng also had to kneel down as his daughter.

When Molan is promoted to imperial concubine, how could Sheng Hong not take Lin back? He might even make her his first wife!
Because the poisoning was exposed, even if Wang was not sentenced to death or exiled, she would be kicked out of the Sheng family.

In the book, after the poisoning incident, when Changbai forced his mother to return to the ancestral temple in his hometown in Youyang to repent for ten years, Minglan thought to herself that this was only considered intentional injury, and she was an accomplice, so she personally thought it was five years. After hearing that ten years had passed, she felt that she could still get some fresh air while imprisoned in the ancestral temple, so she thought it was appropriate.

What does this indicate?
Does it mean that she, as a legal worker, is of low standard and is using the laws of later times to judge this case of unfilial piety? Obviously not.

This shows that she, like Changbai, wants to suppress the matter so as not to affect her own reputation outside.

No matter how the old lady treated her, she dared to take risks. With a desperate mentality, she forced her cheap father Sheng Honglang to severely punish Wang. It was just a means of negotiation and pressure.

In the end, they ended up with a punishment that was clearly not very painful, but they insisted on saying it was a severe "repentance" punishment.

This is a lie!
Many female-oriented novels only write about the male protagonist loving the female protagonist, but the female protagonist’s love for the male protagonist is rarely reflected. What does this indicate?
Minglan is both hypocritical and selfish.

Don't say Brother Tao is blackmailing her again. When she was in a cold war with Gu Er, she admitted that she only loved herself in this life and let Qi Heng down. So, can she risk it all just to stand up for Lao Deng? In her heart, can Lao Deng compare with Qi Heng or Gu Er? She doesn't even love them.

She is a selfish person, she has no natural ability to love, and she is very cowardly. She has no right to despise Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin came from a clean family and came from a family of impoverished officials. Why couldn't she return to the city and become the mistress of the Sheng family after her son-in-law came to power?
With a son-in-law who is an emperor to rely on, even if she doesn't want to lose weight, no woman dares to compete with her for the position of wife.

Then we will switch to the offensive.

Chen Tao was happy to hear this.

Just imagine, Hualan, Changbai and Rulan, the three children of the Wang family who have despised Aunt Lin since childhood, will have to call Aunt Lin mother in the future. How interesting will this scene be?

There is also Sheng Changfeng’s wife, Liu.

This woman is not polite to Aunt Lin in the book, but in the future she will have to be submissive to Aunt Lin. It's really exciting!
Chen Tao joked, "You've gained weight now, haven't you? If you can gain weight, you can lose weight too. You're so beautiful, so my mother-in-law must have a very good body. If she can really lose weight, my father-in-law will definitely rekindle his old feelings for her."

This is not sarcasm!

Because Aunt Lin's foundation is really good. After all, her model is Sister Lin from Suzhou, who is one of the most beautiful girls in this world.

Even the time-traveling girl Yao Yiyi, who is in the state of a "demon concubine", is just imitating Daiyu's narcissism in front of the mirror. Without talking about facts, she can barely be compared with Aunt Lin.

But Aunt Lin may not need to please Sheng Hong in the future! With the emperor as her son-in-law and a son to rely on, there are not many people in the world who can make her buy in.

From then on, it was her turn to bully Hai and Liu, and she even took her anger out on the Wang family in the capital, from which the Wang family came.

He will definitely vent his anger on the Kang family.

This was not because she valued Old Madam Sheng so much that she wanted to avenge her, but because Aunt Kang had messed around and caused her daughter to lose the opportunity to be the mother of the country!
Chen Tao will definitely not care at that time. He hopes that Aunt Lin will make a big fuss. Otherwise, where will the fun be?

Molan scolded, "My husband, as a good son-in-law, how can you casually say whether my mother is beautiful or not? What if outsiders hear it? Just praise me!"

Xuan said bitterly, "How hateful! She is ugly, uneducated, and has no ambition to make progress, yet she still has the nerve to blame my mother for deliberately seducing my father. Doesn't she know what she is like? Ugly women are more likely to do bad things!"

Chen Tao laughed and said, "You are not worried about being heard by outsiders when you say this, so why should you be afraid when I am just praising your mother? If I were to ask you, your father is not a good person either! When your mother gave Jufang to your father, didn't he know that this was a period of national mourning? Did your mother force him to get Jufang? Mo'er, your mother gave your father a pretty maid, so shouldn't you follow suit?"

Before hearing the last part, the rebellious student Molan actually laughed, but after hearing the last part, she immediately said:
"I won't follow her example! I wish you would only love me in this life and rest with me every day. Do you know how sad I feel when I think of you sleeping with Minglan or Chun Ge? And Xiao Yuanyuan, I'm so jealous of you for doting on her!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he looked like he was about to cry.

I have to say that under Aunt Lin's training, this girl has really mastered the timid look to perfection, and is very lovable.

Chen Tao did not pity her, but continued to ask:
"Good Mo'er, if I insist that you give me a maid, will you be willing to do so?"

Molan's expression suddenly changed, and she actually changed her tone and agreed:
"Which girl do you like? I have already arranged a good place for Lu Zhong, it would be bad to regret it now. Bitao? Qiu Jiang? Anyway, as long as you like, I am willing to give it to you."

What is involution?

Minglan made a good start! First she gave Xiao Ruomei to Chen Tao, and then she went to the south for more than half a year. Now she has Xiao Yao Jinghua Huan serving her. This is so special, it's simply the means of a concubine!
For this reason, she has mentioned Minglan more than once or twice.

But Minglan argued that she and Aunt Lin were both concubines, so she should learn from Aunt Lin and send her daughter to win favor!

If Molan blames her, she is blaming her own mother!
Although Molan was very unhappy, she also thought of her mother's teachings, so she did plan to give a maid to her husband.

With the two of them doing this, Chun Ge, who prefers pure love, can't hold back. He wants to borrow a bamboo spear from Yuan Yuan, take it apart and weave it into a bamboo cage, put them in, and then throw it into the pond.

What a good cousin, but he was led astray by these stinky vixens!
Chen Tao said with emotion: "Forget it! I was just joking, I didn't really want you to give it to me. But I'm very happy that you are willing to give it to me, I really love you."

When Molan heard this, she immediately pushed her son aside and leaned in Chen Tao's arms with a touched look on her face.

Liang Run will only be two years old next month, but he is really smart and actually cried loudly.

Unexpectedly, his mother ignored him and still dominated his father, treating him like air.

Tolerable or unbearable?
At night, one in the morning.

Just as Molan and her husband were starting their second conversation, the little thing knocked on the door again.

He is just a child!
Isn't it normal to get up and find something to do when you can't sleep in the middle of the night?
Children are naturally more important.

Molan had no choice but to ask her husband to get out of bed to pick up her son. Then she listened to the interaction between father and son with a depressed heart, staring blankly at the curtains above the bed with lifeless eyes.

Fortunately, Chen Tao's ability to coax children has reached the pinnacle. It only took a short while for him to coax his son to sleep. Then he sent him outside to be looked after by a maid. After that, he naturally returned to his room and continued to take care of Molan.

He coaxed his son and his wife.

A bunch of children and a house full of wives and concubines.

I have to say, our brother Tao’s daily life is really hard!

Fortunately, it won’t be long before Brother Tao will have something fun to watch!
It was still hot in early August.

However, Sheng Hong, who failed to serve as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War as in the book and was still waiting for advancement in the Censorate, felt a chill in his heart and was numb all over.

The censors report on rumors and monitor illegal activities.

Now, someone came with a leaflet of unknown origin, accusing his wife Wang and her sister Kang Wang of plotting to murder his mother.

Even the modus operandi is listed above.

It is to boil the concentrated juice of ginkgo sprouts (don’t say this is unscientific, the ginkgo sprouts in this world are more toxic) and put it in the cakes that Wang makes to honor his mother!

It's clearly an internal leak.

But he was kept in the dark!
His mother did fall ill last night, and he called a doctor, but the doctor was unable to diagnose that his mother had been poisoned and only prescribed a mild prescription.

Finished!

It's all over! (End of this chapter)
