Chapter 126 Reunion 1 (Pink Ticket 150+)

Hearing Mrs. Sheng's words, Sheng Xiumu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No. Why do you ask like that?"

Mrs. Sheng sat up halfway, and lightly flicked his forehead with her fingers: "Is it okay? Then you have been away for a long time, and beat your mother's leg like this, is it because you want to kill your mother?"

Sheng Xiumu laughed, and coughed: "You can't hide anything from your mother."

Mrs. Sheng asked him what happened.

Sheng Xiu Muyin said that "the pearl is left in the sea" when Emperor Yuanchang was drunk, and only said that Sheng Xiuyi resigned as the third-rank servant of the Ministry of War, which made Shengchanghou furious.

Mrs. Sheng listened, pondered for a long time, and then sighed: "... I don't blame your father for being angry! Your elder brother has been neglected for many years, and the whole capital said that your father's eldest son is a mediocre person. You treat your father's face as a brilliance? Take a sigh of relief. But in the early years, it was the old age of the late emperor, and your father was worried that the late emperor was suspicious; and then it was Taifu Xiao who made troubles all these years. Now it is finally peaceful, and your elder brother is still like this, how could your father not be annoyed?"

Sheng Xiumu nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "Mother is wise."

Mrs. Sheng could hear this as a joke, and lightly slapped Sheng Xiumu, laughing herself: "Nowadays, they are all people with titles, and they still make fun of your mother."

Sheng Xiumu also laughed.

Mrs. Sheng asked him again: "Is the matter of the Xiao family settled today?"

Only then did Sheng Xiumu realize that he hadn't told his mother about this crucial point, so he said it quickly, and said: "...if the noble is cut, the wife, son, and daughter will be exiled for thousands of miles, and the children of the concubine will be driven out of the capital. study."

After a pause, she said again, "Mother, County Master Wuqing has been deposed, and Miss Seven of their family has also been exiled for thousands of miles. My marriage contract with the Xiao family is hereby terminated."

Mrs. Sheng sighed: "It's a crime! It's a good family. If you restrain yourself a bit, how can you end up like this?"

But in his heart, he was thinking about where to talk to Sheng Xiumu about marriage.

Now he is no longer walking in front of the imperial court of the fourth rank, but General Feng En, the hereditary Mu Enbo of three generations.It should be easy to want a good marriage.

Sheng Xiumu said: "It was Old Master Xue who interceded for their family, so the Manchus were not destroyed. Back then, the crimes of the Chen family were much less serious than the Xiao family, so they were executed by the whole family? You don't have to pity them, it's your own fault. You can't live without committing crimes, mother."

Mrs. Sheng nodded, and said again: "...The concubine's children were kicked out of the capital? Oh, that fifth lady of the Xue family is your sister-in-law's cousin. Didn't she hang herself crying to marry Xiao Wulang? Xiao Wulang is a concubine... I heard That Miss Fifth has no father, only a widowed mother. Now that she is in this situation, she may not be able to return to Beijing for decades, her widowed mother..."

As he spoke, he sighed endlessly.

Judge others by oneself, if this happens to her daughter, Mrs. Sheng will be blinded from crying.It can be seen from this that the second wife of the Xue family must be extremely sad.

Sheng Xiumu saw that Mrs. Sheng's own family was not happy enough, but she was worried about other people's family first, so she stood up and squeezed her shoulders with a smile: "Mother, think about it, how big is the Xiao family's crime? To save a life, isn't it?" Exile, just driving out of Kyoto, is much more."

Mrs. Sheng was right after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "It's also the same reason. People, you have to look at both the front and the back to see clearly."

After the mother and son talked for a while, Mother Kang returned to Yuanyang Pavilion from Jingsheyuan.

Seeing Sheng Xiumu, she stepped forward to salute him: "Your maidservant greets uncle!"

Mrs. Sheng just laughed: "You don't have to do that. He's just a prince, isn't he still the third master of our family?"

Sheng Xiumu also hurriedly said yes, let Kang's mother still call her third master in the future, and don't need to call her uncle.

Mother Kang smiled and agreed.

"The eldest son has gone back, and all the servants in the house have been sent out. Mother Luo and a few maidservants in the grandma's yard are all right, and they all persuade me to come back, so I will go back first." Mother Kang explained to Mrs. Sheng .

Mrs. Sheng laughed and asked Kang's mother, "Is the third young master awake?"

Mother Kang said no: "No, I slept soundly."

Mrs. Sheng nodded slightly, and asked Dong Yuan how she was.

Mother Kang said everything was fine.

Several people were talking, Sheng Changhou came back from the outer courtyard with a solemn expression on his face.

Mrs. Sheng was slightly stunned. Today is the day when he himself was promoted, his third son was enshrined, the eldest son returned to the court with victory, and his grandson was added. Why is he so unhappy?
Thinking of it, she got up and saluted him.

Sheng Changhou let them all be excused, and sat on the kang by himself, with a gloomy face.

Kang's mother brought tea to the little maids one after another, and led all the waiters in the room to retreat.

"Have you had dinner in the outer courtyard?" Mrs. Sheng could smell a little wine on his body, so she asked him with a smile on her face.

Although Sheng Changhou was angry, he didn't like to get angry with his wife, and his voice was a little soft: "Uncle Yongning came to congratulate me, and he cooked wine and vegetables in the outer courtyard, and ate."

Mrs. Sheng nodded, and smiled and told Sheng Changhou about Dong Yuan's birth.

Sheng Changhou's expression still didn't improve at all, and he said in a stiff tone, "You've been with me all this time? Have you been tired all day?"

"Who is tired of holding a grandson?" Mrs. Sheng laughed.

Sheng Changhou had already got up, called the servant girls to come in, and said to Mrs. Sheng: "You rest. I have something to say with Brother Mu."

Mrs. Sheng nodded, and asked him again: "Let's go to Aunt Lin's place tonight. These two days are her days."

Since the death of Aunt Lin, there is only one Aunt Lin left in the family. Mrs. Sheng didn't like these two aunts very much at first, but now she has more sympathy.Thinking of Second Aunt Lin being lonely in the Sheng family, if Lord Hou always treats her coldly, something will happen sooner or later.

So every month during Aunt Lin's two days, if Marquis Sheng Chang forgets, Mrs. Sheng will remind him.If you don't want to go, you will be persuaded.

Sheng Changhou is domineering, but he can always listen to Mrs. Sheng's words.

Ever since he was young, Sheng Changhou always thought of Mrs. Sheng's soft temper and kind heart, and he didn't want to make her sad. Whenever he came to her, he was always patient and soft.

It's strange to say that he has been considerate to her in everything like this, and he has been considerate for more than [-] years without really noticing.

Hearing this now, Sheng Changhou said: "I have something to say with Brother Mu, we will rest here tonight. You send someone to talk to her. I will remember her days. Next month, I will rest at her place for a few more nights." .”

Mrs. Sheng could only say yes.

Sheng Changhou took Sheng Xiumu to the small study in Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng sent Citron to personally tell Second Aunt Lin that Marquis Sheng Chang would not be able to go today, so she was asked to rest early.Her days moved to the next month.

I was served by Xiangrui, and went to the clean room to wash and bathe.

When she changed into a homely Ge Yunchou beanie and was leaning on the big kang facing the window in the Dongci room to talk to Kang's mother, she heard the roar of Sheng Changhou from the small study.

Mrs. Sheng was startled and wanted to get up to have a look.

Kang's mother hurriedly persuaded her: "Madam, Master Hou is strict with the children, but there are seriousness. If you go, the third master and Master Hou will not be able to forgive you."

Mrs. Sheng was still worried, so she asked Kang's mother in a low voice, "Didn't Master Hou want to beat Brother Mu?"

Kang's mother laughed: "When did Lord Hou touch a child's finger?" As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered the second master Sheng Xiuhai who was beaten by Sheng Changhou a few days ago and was bedridden for three months, and the conversation stopped.

Mrs. Sheng was full of worries about Sheng Xiumu, but she didn't think deeply about it.

After a while, the small study room became quiet, and Mrs. Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In the small study, Sheng Xiumu stood respectfully in front of his father's desk, not daring to breathe.

Sheng Changhou sat on the chair, his chest heaving, but the fury of Thunder was reduced by half.He scolded Sheng Xiumu, "Why didn't you stop that rebellious son?"

Sheng Xiumu was full of grievances.

He also wanted to stop Sheng Xiuyi.It's just that his brother is farther than he thinks, and his calculations are deeper than his.

Father told them not to let their mother know about Mrs. Xue, so Sheng Xiuyi followed Sheng Xiumu to Yuanyang Pavilion quietly and waited for Mrs. Sheng to come back.

Then he asked Sheng Xiumu to beat Mrs. Sheng's legs.

What can Sheng Xiumu say?
When mother kept urging elder brother to go back to Jingsheyuan, could she let go of beating mother's leg and stop elder brother?That mother must be suspicious.

When my mother had doubts, she would naturally ask.When the time comes, my father will know that he is the one who left the news, and will scold him again.

In the family, the eldest brother is cold and calculating, and the father is violent and domineering. He has to protect his brother from being scolded by his father, but also remember not to let his mother know about the scandal in his room.

In the end, his father still wanted to scold him for not stopping his brother.

The bad luck fell on him, Sheng Xiumu.

Marquis Shengchang hated the child to make excuses when he did something wrong.No matter what the reason is, a mistake is a mistake, and one has to admit that prevarication will only lead to more scolding from the father.Sheng Xiumu said: "Daddy, I was wrong!"

Sheng Changhou was still full of anger.

The son went back to the wife's room, and the daughter-in-law was still in confinement, since he wanted to keep it from everyone in the family, he couldn't openly send a servant to ask Sheng Xiuyi to come out.

And the father-in-law cannot enter the daughter-in-law's room.

Thinking of Sheng Xiuyi's silent appearance, Sheng Changhou trembled with anger.

All my life, I have clear grievances and grievances, and I dare to act boldly, but I gave birth to Sheng Xiuyi, like a dull gourd, I don't know what is going on in his heart.He didn't want the official position that he should fight for; Xue Shi gave him such a big humiliation, he should be angry and furious, but he didn't say a word, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Not only that, he knew that his father would not let him go back to see Mrs. Xue, and he even tried to stop Sheng Xiumu, the person who dissuaded him.

His cleverness is only used in these small things?
In the fury of Sheng Changhou, he had already forgotten how Sheng Xiuyi regained the Northwest camp, brought back the military power in the Northwest, and killed Xiao Xuanxiao who had been entrenched in the Northwest for nearly ten years.

He only hated his son's forbearance at the moment.

From Sheng Changhou's point of view, Sheng Xiuyi at this moment is very cowardly and incompetent.

Even if it is a small family, if a woman does such a thing, the man will be ashamed to death, right?

Mrs. Xue and that child are the thorns in Sheng Changhou's throat at this moment, making him restless and unbearable no matter what.All he could think of was how to vent his anger.

He was going to tell Old Hou Xue about his decision tomorrow morning.

The granddaughter of their family is unruly, and the Sheng family can't tolerate being cruel.

The child is going to be sent away, and it is impossible for Mrs. Xue to stay in the Sheng family.
