Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 33

Autumn is getting deeper, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.Yuzhi leaned on the soft couch, put down the scripture in her hand, and sighed to the nurse in front of her.

Earlier, the wet nurse listened to her words and gave Wu Jili a gift, but it was a pity that she returned it intact.What the nanny brought back was, don't give it away, let's wait until the day he was the number one scholar in high school.

Yu Zhi said to the wet nurse, "I never knew Ji Li had such great ambitions."

The nurse was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly comforted her: "Miss, you don't have to think too much, it's okay if you don't accept the gift, what Mr. Wu said is just to show that he has a plan in mind."

Yuzhi nodded, sat up, and rolled up his collar, "The weather is much colder, and I don't know that Boyu wears thick clothes when going out."

Wen Zhaoling had just gone out with his father to meet his uncle, and he left in a hurry without asking him to add some clothes.

The nurse covered her lips and smiled, "It's really reassuring to see that the young lady is getting along with the uncle now. A few days ago, when the old lady brought the snacks, she asked about it, and I am satisfied with the answer."

Yuzhi also laughed, "I'm getting hungry when I talk about this, the dim sum is really good."

The nurse gave her a reproachful look, "Miss is really heartless for saying that, Mrs. Mrs. is sending you snacks to ask how your life is going, but you and my uncle have a strong relationship, of course you are not. I've said it."

Yuzhi coughed unnaturally, "I'll go see if Boyu is back."

The nurse shook her head funny, followed her to the door, and looked at the sun outside, "It's still early, my uncle may only be at the gate of the city now, I heard that Mrs. Tai has sent someone to look at it gone."

Yuzhi laughed, "Grandmother keeps saying she doesn't want uncle to come back, but she still thinks about it in her heart." She looked outside the courtyard for a while, "I don't know if they have received anyone."

This waited until noon.Mrs. Tai might be really impatient and impatient, so she sent a servant to ask Yuzhi to study Buddhist scriptures with her.Yuzhi had nothing to do, so she dressed up a little and went to Mrs. Tai's main room.

When I got there, I realized that almost everyone in the Wen family had come to Mrs. Tai, not to mention Mrs. Wen and her two granddaughter-in-laws, even Wen Zhaoye, who was usually invisible, also showed up.Aqin sat quietly on the side, seeing Yuzhi coming in, she glanced at her twice, as if she had something to say.

Yuzhi went in to greet Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wen, and was immediately dragged to sit beside Mrs. Tai, "Yuzhi finally came. Anyway, there is nothing wrong. Let's talk about Buddhism."

Yuzhi respectfully said, "Grandmother, as long as you are happy."

Mrs. Tai sighed: "You are still a caring child, unlike them, all of them will only make me angry."

"To make you angry?" Yuzhi looked at the people around, and they were all sitting quietly. When did you say that you made her angry?

Mrs. Tai snorted, "As soon as I talk about the unfilial son, they will speak for him. Do you think I will be angry?"

Only then did Yuzhi understand, and she nodded while suppressing a smile, "Tell me, grandma, I'll listen."

Mrs. Tai nodded, "Just say you are sensible, that unfilial son knows to make me angry, shouldn't I say a few words to him? You don't know, he didn't let me worry when he was in front of me before. When he chooses a daughter-in-law, he doesn't like how much he chooses, but in the end he chooses one himself, but it's the one I don't like the most, do you think he did it on purpose?"

Mrs. Wen coughed lightly, as if she wanted to laugh.Mrs. Tai heard the noise, and seemed to think of something all of a sudden, "Look at Wan Qing, it's very good, isn't it me who picked Yanzhi?"

Mrs. Wen kindly reminded: "Mom, I heard that father-in-law was the one who made the decision back then."

Mrs. Tai was upset again, "Look, it makes me unhappy again, doesn't it?"

This time, not only Yuzhi and Mrs. Wen, but also the other people sitting on the side couldn't help laughing, but they all held back, otherwise they would be said to have offended her old man again.

As soon as Mrs. Tai finished speaking, a carefree voice came from outside the door, and said, "Oh, why did you hear someone upset my mother when you came here? Tell your son, let him vent his anger on you!"

A few people subconsciously looked towards the door, and a person came in wearing a plain white shirt. He was tall and tall, with a jade hairpin and a wild smile.Seeing that his appearance was somewhat similar to Master Wen, Yuzhi guessed that this person should be Wen Zhaoling's uncle Wen Yanqi.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Tai saw him, she snorted angrily: "Who wants you, an unfilial son, to vent your anger on me!"

Wen Yanzhi and Wen Zhaoling followed him into the door, and were slightly taken aback when they saw this scene.Fortunately, Wen Zhaoling reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and pulled a boy about ten years old, and pushed him in front of Mrs. Tai, "Grandmother, take a quick look, this is your little grandson Zhaoyuan."

When Mrs. Tai saw the pink and jade-carved child, her anger disappeared, she smiled, and beckoned to him, "Come here quickly, come here and show grandma."

Although Zhao Yuan was a child, he was not afraid of life. He walked up to Mrs. Tai and shouted crisply: "Grandmother is well, grandson is seeing you for the first time, and I kowtow to you." After speaking, he really knelt down and kowtowed to her Head up.

Mrs. Tai smiled happily, and quickly pulled him up, "What a good boy, very considerate of etiquette, your father taught you well."

Zhaoyuan answered honestly: "It wasn't my father who taught me, but my mother."

Madam Tai felt embarrassed and hummed twice.Wen Yanqi smiled and scolded: "Stinky boy, do you mean that your father will not teach you how to learn?"

Mrs. Tai embraced Zhao Yuan and replied, "You are not a good learner in the first place."

Wen Yanqi patted his forehead, "Mother, the festival is coming, you can't treat me like this."

Mrs. Tai snorted and lowered her head to coax Zhao Yuan to go.

Seeing that she had diverted her attention, Yuzhi got up and went to Wen Zhaoling's side.Wen Zhaoling pulled her over and said to Wen Yanqi, "Uncle, this is my nephew's wife, Dong Qiang, whose nickname is Yuzhi."

Yuzhi hurriedly saluted Wen Yanqi.

Wen Yanqi looked her up and down, smiled, "She is a smart girl, Boyu is very lucky." After speaking, he cupped his hands at Mrs. Wen, "Sister-in-law is also very lucky."

Mrs. Wen smiled at him, and turned to greet several people to come and greet him.Among Wen Yanzhi's several children, Wen Zhaoling was the only one who was close to his uncle, and since he didn't come back all year round, the few people who were not close to him before became more and more distant from him, so the salutes were also ordinary.

Wen Yanqi has always been careless and doesn't care, but he didn't dare to offend his old mother with a bad temper, so he had to sit and talk to Wen Yanzhi and his wife, accompanied by Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi, and several others surrounded Mrs. Tai I went around.

Wen Yanqi asked about Mrs. Wen's family matters, of course the emphasis was on Mrs. Tai's health, and Mrs. Wen said that everything was fine, so he was relieved.

Several people chatted again, Wen Yanqi said to Wen Yanzhi: "Brother, let's go to your study to talk."

Wen Yanzhi nodded, got up and walked out, when he reached the door, he suddenly turned to Wen Zhaoling and said, "Boyu, you come too."

Wen Zhaoling turned his head and nodded to Yuzhi, then walked over.

The three of them arrived at Wen Yanzhi's courtyard, and Wen Yanqi yelled in surprise before entering the study: "Brother, you moved here again? Why do you live in a separate courtyard with your sister-in-law after you are an old husband and wife?"

Wen Yanzhi coughed in embarrassment, "Second brother, let's talk business."

Wen Yanqi turned his head to look at Wen Zhaoling, touched his face, "I think the matter between you two is a serious matter."

Wen Yanzhi gritted his teeth, "Second brother!"

"Okay, okay, go in and talk, go in and talk."

The three finally entered the study.

Wen Yanzhi sat down behind the desk, Wen Yanqi and Wen Zhaoling sat on the stools beside them.When it was time to speak, no one spoke.After a while, it was Wen Zhaoling who spoke first.

"Uncle must have come to Beijing for father's business, right?"

Wen Yanqi withdrew his previous laughing expression and nodded, "I found out about your father in Suzhou, and I'm a little worried, so I'd better take a look." After saying this, he glanced at Wen Zhaoling With a glance, the latter nodded slightly at him, indicating that he understood what he meant.

This is indeed the reason Wen Yanqi came to Beijing, but it is not the only reason.However, after such a question and answer, in Wen Yanzhi's ears, there is no need to ask him the purpose of coming to Beijing.

Wen Yanzhi sighed, "I asked myself that I have been doing my duty as an official for many years, I am honest and upright, but I don't want to be inexplicably read a book, and now I am in such a situation. The day before yesterday, my mother asked me why I returned to Beijing suddenly. If I hadn't found it in time If you prevaricate this reason, you will show your feet."

Wen Yanqi said: "I don't think you are a bad official, brother, but you are doing too well. As the saying goes, there are no disciples when people are pure. This is the truth. It is true that you are dedicated to the people, but you will inevitably not offend The dignitaries in the court."

Wen Yanzhi frowned and sighed: "What you said is also reasonable, but now there is no reply from the Holy Majesty, and I don't know how long I will stay in the mansion. I am afraid that my mother will not be able to hide it."

Wen Yanqi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to Wen Zhaoling and asked, "Boyu, what do you think?"

Wen Zhaoling pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Wen Yanzhi, "Father, according to my son, the holy will is still unpredictable, and I am afraid that someone is obstructing it. Since it can affect the decision of the Holy Majesty, it is not an ordinary dignitary, dad You must have offended the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, in this case, it is better to make a decision early."

Wen Yanzhi nodded, "What you said is reasonable. I convicted a person in office a while ago, and later found out that person was the nephew of the Prime Minister. It is likely that he was implicated in this incident."

Wen Yanqi sneered: "There are nothing more than these things in the officialdom. As long as you have a little relationship with the officials, you can ignore people's lives. What's more, if you have something to do with the prime minister, I am afraid that he will kill someone and just say 'I express my respect. Uncle is the prime minister' can also be written off."

Wen Yanzhi frowned, tapped the table with one hand, thought for a while, and suddenly asked Wen Zhaoling: "Boyu, what did you mean by making an early decision?"

Wen Zhaoling pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "I mean... Dad, you might as well consider resigning."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Yanzhi slapped the case: "What kind of bastard talk is this? I have never done anything wrong, why did I resign? Wouldn't it make people say that I have a guilty conscience?"

Wen Yanqi sighed softly: "Brother, the officialdom is dark, you... oh..."

Wen Yanzhi calmed down, sat back on the chair, closed his eyes as if he was suddenly tired, and murmured: "You can't resign, if you resign... then you'll have nothing..."
