Chapter 20
Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Du, was busy contacting her early in the morning. She hadn't seen her son for half a year, and said that she didn't want to be a lie.Originally, it would be enough to arrange for the eldest maid, Biyu, to do it, but Mrs. Du couldn't take it easy, ordered the servants to tidy up the yard, and went to the kitchen to simmer ginseng soup, always thinking about making up for her son.
Xiao Jingtang saw that she was working hard, and felt distressed and a bit apprehensive: "You and I have been married for nearly 30 years. Madam has never cared so much for her husband."
"You can also eat my son's jealousy." Du Shi covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Sir, don't pretend, I know you want Feng'er too, and Feng'er is doing well this time, so don't keep blaming him Face."
Xiao Jingtang changed his face uncomfortably, cleared his throat and said, "I don't expect this kid to fight for anything, as long as he doesn't give me trouble, I will be thankful."
Du Shi looked at her husband with a smile in his eyes: "Duplicity, isn't it you, sir?"
The two were talking, when they saw the housekeeper Xiao An walking over with Xiao Liu'er's ear in his hand, Xiao Liu'er was crying out for pain while struggling to get his father to let go first, but Xiao An was determined not to let go, hating Tie Tie He scolded him like a steel: "Well, you brat, you are really talented! Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier, what's going on in the outside world now! Come with me to plead guilty to the master... "
Xiao Jingtang stepped forward with his hands bound, and asked loudly, "What's wrong with the housekeeper?"
Xiao An sold himself into Xiao's house since he was a child, followed Xiao Jingtang from the age of eight, and became a housekeeper from a young servant.Later his son Xiao Liu'er became Xiao Jingtang's servant, he can be regarded as a loyal servant.When Xiao An heard that his son had returned to the capital with the young master, he was naturally happy in his heart, but before he was happy, the rumor that Uncle Guo fell in love with the little widow reached his ears.
Xiao An didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that if something really happened, his son should have already informed the prime minister.As soon as Xiao Liu'er came in, Xiao An told him the rumor as a joke.Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu'er faltered and his eyes flickered, and there was something wrong when he looked inside!Xiao An coerced and lured him and finally understood the whole story, so he immediately dragged Xiao Liu'er to ask the master to plead guilty. If such a big matter is not mentioned earlier, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be ashamed!
Xiao An briefly explained what had happened, then slapped Xiao Liu'er on the back of the head in a puzzled manner, and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, if the master doesn't punish you, I'll beat you up!"
Xiao Liu'er gritted her teeth in pain, and mumbled, "The informant is the worst, I'm loyal to the young master..."
"You still dare to speak hard, see if I won't beat you!"
Xiao An raised his hand to knock him again, but Xiao Jingtang stopped his movement: "Hey, why are you so angry with Liu'er?" Xiao Jingtang's face was full of gloom, and he shook his head helplessly, "I don't care about that bastard's virtue. Don't you know? Liu'er, please tell me carefully, what happened to the widow?"
Xiao Jingtang was only forty years old, tall and handsome, although he was a literati, he was tough.Apart from the young master Biao, what Xiao Liuer admired the most in daily life was the old master.Seeing that he was a little angry, Xiao Liu'er became nervous, her mouth became bald, and she explained to Xiao Jingtang everything that happened during the past six months in Lin'an.But he's not stupid, he didn't dare to say that the young master and the young cousin looked at Sister Gu in the wrong way, only that the young master was kind and took care of her.Xiao Jingtang couldn't believe it, he threw up his sleeves angrily, and cursed against him.
Mrs. Du stepped forward to appease Xiao An and his son and told them to go on first, then looked back at Xiao Jingtang, frowning slightly, and said softly: "Master, don't be angry, maybe there is really some misunderstanding. Feng'er finally came back, let's go first Let him catch the wind, and ask him slowly later, okay?"
Xiao Jingtang sighed, looking at his forty-year-old but still beautiful wife, he didn't say anything serious, and answered vaguely.
Coming out of the palace, Xiao Chengfeng can be said to be proud of Dongfeng, and he returned to Beijing smoothly. His family is by his side, and A Ruo is still there. The future will always be good.When he thought about his sister having a dragon heir, Xiao Chengfeng changed his face. He couldn't go on wandering, and he had to stabilize his footing in the officialdom so that his sister could rely on him.In this way, Xiao Chengfeng thought about this and that all the way, laughing and worrying at times and went home.
The Xiao Mansion had already prepared the meals, and it was waiting for him to come back to start the meal.Seeing his son's eyes, Du's eyes were wet, and he kept feeding him vegetables for fear that he would lose weight outside.Xiao Chengfeng also missed his mother, and the two talked affectionately for a long time.
Taking advantage of her son's high spirits, Mrs. Du smiled and said to him: "Mother went to Fuyuan Temple to pray for you a few days ago, and happened to meet Miss Sun, and she asked me about you. Mother heard that Miss Sun meant to forgive you Now, seeing that she really cares about you, Feng'er might as well think about it. Then Ms. Sun was born in Anzhi Tinglan, and her upbringing is also very good. If you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person. If Feng'er is willing, she will let you Dad is going to help you propose marriage."
Xiao Chengfeng shook his hands when he heard the words, and the meat he just picked up fell back into the plate. He looked at Du Shi suspiciously and said, "Who is Miss Sun?"
Mrs. Du was slightly startled, seeing that his son's expression did not seem to be fake, knowing that he had really forgotten about him completely, he was annoyed and funny: "Who else can Miss Sun be, she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Sun's family!"
"Hehe, you are still thinking about me." Xiao Chengfeng sneered, curled his lips and continued to pick up the piece of meat, "Son, I don't dare to think of this young lady, don't turn around and cry again, I have suffered for nothing calamity……"
Xiao Jingtang was left out in the cold, seeing his wife only talking to his son, he was already angry, and then seeing Xiao Chengfeng's disgusted look, the fire suddenly ignited, he put down his chopsticks with a "snap", and said coldly: "Don't you Marry Miss Sun, could it be that you miss that widow?"
Xiao Chengfeng stopped on the spot, stared blankly at Xiao Jingtang, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned Gu Ruo, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with the widow?"
Xiao Jingtang's face became even stiffer when he heard the words, he slapped the table and reprimanded him: "You brought a widow back to Beijing, do you know what people say about you?"
"You can say whatever you like, it's none of my business. What's wrong with me taking Ah Ruo back to Beijing, doing their shit? Chewing your tongue, eating salty radishes and worrying..."
"How do you talk?" Xiao Jingtang was obviously angry, staring at Xiao Chengfeng and said, "I advise you to get rid of this thought as soon as possible. With me, Xiao Jingtang, it is absolutely impossible for you to marry a widow into Xiao's house in one day! Cheng He Decent!"
"Hey, why is it out of order?" Xiao Chengfeng never thought of marrying Gu Ruo at all, but when his father said this, he became stubborn, threw his chopsticks heavily and stood up, flirting with Xiao Jingtang. He smiled, "What's wrong with the widow? I still want to marry her?"
"Shanghaizi is a cheap father for others, I don't have such a lowly son!"
"I just love being someone else's father. What's the matter? I'm happy to pick up a good son without any effort!"
Xiao Jingtang pointed at Xiao Chengfeng who was so angry that he couldn't speak, Mrs. Du hurriedly came out to smooth things over, pulled Xiao Jingtang and said, "Feng'er is a good boy, he must have been fooled by that widow to make him confused, master, don't be angry with him."
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Xiao Chengfeng frowned, and said very seriously, "You can say anything to me, and my son will listen. But if you say Ah Ruo, I will not listen. My son wants to marry her. She may not be willing to marry, don't misunderstand her."
Xiao Jingtang was furious, nodded and sneered and said, "I don't misunderstand her, I want to teach you a lesson! Come, I will take care of you!"
Xiao Chengfeng folded his arms and looked at the scary person with cold eyes, and said with the corners of his mouth curled up: "I don't see who would dare! I can be regarded as a fourth-rank official now. If you beat me, you are murdering the imperial court official. You know the punishment according to the law?"
"It's only natural for me to beat my son. I'm going to do it today. I want to see who will sentence me!"
Xiao Chengfeng saw that his father really wanted to get started, and was thrown to the ground by the servants beside him just as he was about to run away.Xiao Chengfeng looked at the servant in disbelief, and said speechlessly, "You are so courageous!"
The servant smiled bitterly and said, "Young master, you forgot that every time the master made a move, you wanted to run, but the little one stopped you. You are really not bold, but you are used to it."
Xiao Jingtang didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so he ordered someone to push him on the high bench, and started beating after taking the board.It was also because Xiao Chengfeng had been beaten a lot in the past, and everyone was familiar with the layout and division of labor, so Xiao Chengfeng's butt blossomed in just a cup of tea.
On the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Someone from the palace passed the news, and the queen was happy.Xiao Jingtang was angry at his son for mischief and happy for his daughter, all kinds of complicated emotions turned into a sigh.
Xiao Chengfeng lay on the bed biting the quilt and wanted to cry, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he got up in the middle of the night and limped out of the house.
