Mo Yanliang

Chapter 358
The old lady was confused by her daughter's thoughts.

The Shen family has never placed too much importance on fame and wealth, but as a mother, she certainly hopes that all her children and grandchildren will be successful.

At the beginning, Wu Siming achieved the position of governor at a young age, and she was also very happy that her daughter was appointed as soon as she got married.

However, not long after, Wu Siming voluntarily resigned inexplicably, and he still acted first, without discussing with Grand Master Xia at all.

The old lady could not care about other people's suspicions and jokes, but the disappointment in her husband's eyes made her feel distressed.

In the following years, too many things happened in the Xia family.

Saburo and Zhang Jiling died young, and the fourth daughter-in-law who had not met was gone. The old lady shed too many tears, and she became less and less concerned about fame and fortune.

As long as the children are safe and sound, I don't bother to worry about other things.

She never imagined that nearly 20 years after resigning from office, her son-in-law actually thought of returning to the officialdom.

Of course, she didn't expect that Xia Yufang was the cause of all these things.

Xia Yufang said: "Didn't you just say that Siming is at the age of doing things, he shouldn't be idle at home all day, and it's even more outrageous to be idle at the father-in-law's house.

He is a scholar and a Jinshi background, what else can he do if he is not an official?You can't stay at home and farm! "

The old lady was blocked by her own words, and she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Luo Shi who was on the side reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law was the youngest governor of the Feng Kingdom back then, and was highly valued by His Majesty.

Now that he is older and more stable, he is a good helper for his father and fourth brother. "

Xia Yufang glanced at her gratefully.

Compared with the elder sister-in-law, she spends very little time with the second sister-in-law.

At first, she thought that the second sister-in-law was too shrewd and snobby, and she looked down on her a little bit.

She didn't expect that she would speak up to help herself at a critical moment.

The old lady has long been indifferent to everything, and she doesn't even bother to listen to the trivial matters in the mansion, let alone these matters.

"Yufang, you and your wife are not young anymore, you must not act willfully like before.

Although your father's rank is higher than before, the real power in his hands is not as good as before.

Besides, you all know what kind of person he is, so I'm afraid my mother can't help you with this matter. "

Xia Yufang became anxious when she heard this.

If she didn't know that her father was a stern and selfless person, she would have gone to beg him directly, so why would she go around looking for her mother?

She spoke so utterly, how could the matter of seeking an official for her husband proceed!

Seeing that she was about to explode, Xia Yueliang sneered inwardly.

My aunt is really getting better and better.

When she was young, she was very good at disguising, even her grandparents didn't see her true face.

Now that this year is almost over, it has become a big firecracker.

"Grandmother, it's time for us to sit down." She took the old lady's arm and smiled sweetly and well-behaved.

The old lady looked at Taishi Xia and the others, and said with a smile: "Our mothers don't care about what they say, and the delicious food will be gone later!"

After the joke, she stood up with Xia Yueliang's strength, and walked towards Grand Master Xia's seat.

Yang Shi and Luo Shi didn't dare to neglect, they called Xia Yufang and followed the pace of the old lady and Xia Yueliang.

The old lady sat down beside Grand Master Xia, and said softly, "What did the master say to Siming?"

Xia Taishi didn't talk to Wu Siming on purpose just now, he was a little curious about his wife's question.

He also said softly, "Did Yu Fang say something to you?"

The old lady sighed.

She is a truly loving mother who always loves the children, and the education is all handled by Xia Taishi, a strict father.

In front of her husband, she always only said good things about the children, and even often advised him not to be too strict with the children.

Today, she suddenly had to talk about the rights and wrongs of her daughter and son-in-law, she was really not used to it.

"Master, we spoiled Yu Fang too much back then, especially me..."

"What did Yu Fang say to you?"

"She wants to beg you to find a job for Siming in the court. I find it ridiculous when I hear that."

"Looking for an errand?" Grand Master Xia narrowed his eyes.

Naturally, his thoughts were not as pure as his wife's, but his daughter's sudden request still made him a little stunned.

The old lady said: "I reckon this is what Siming meant, he was too embarrassed to speak, so he urged Yu Fang to come and tell me.

Yufang's child is also the same, no matter how old she is, she still doesn't have any opinions at all.

I don't even look at what occasion it is today, and I have to speak now if I have something to say. "

Master Xia chuckled lightly.

Compared with Yufang, the wife is really innocent.

Yufang deliberately chose this occasion to speak, just to make them embarrassing, so she agreed smoothly.

Regardless of Siming's character, his talent and ability are obvious to all.

He is absolutely capable of taking up more than half of the positions in the court.

But His Majesty's appointment of officials is really not just about ability.

It is so easy to get back the things that were easily given up at the beginning!
"It's not difficult to find a job, you don't need to show up for your husband, just let Shiro do it." He said lightly.

Simple does not mean stupid, how can the old lady not understand what he means.

She explained: "Si Ming has been a governor since he was in his 20s, and now that he is over [-], he has to find a decent job.

Although Shiro has won His Majesty's trust, he is just a bachelor with no real power after all.

I am afraid that Siming will not like the position he can get. "

Xia Taishi said: "The governor is also a fourth rank, how many positions are there in the court higher than this rank?
No matter how powerful the husband is, he can't remove the official who has done a good job, let him take the top? "

"I'm just talking casually, why did I ask you to do such an overbearing and unreasonable thing?!" The old lady said angrily.

Master Xia laughed.

"They are all great-grandmothers, why are you still the same temper as when you were six or seven years old?"

The old lady twisted on his leg: "I'm reminding you not to make mistakes, but you don't appreciate it. Say I'm like six or seven years old, and you are as hateful as when you were young!"

Grand Master Xia grinned, and gently held her hand: "Madam, don't interfere with this kind of matter, I will deal with it myself after the family dinner tonight."

"Then you must ask clearly why Siming resigned suddenly back then. And what happened to the Wu family in these years, I see that Yu Fang seems to have changed."

"Don't worry, I won't hide it from Madam."

"You said this, dare to hide a word from me!"

What the old couple said to each other was like flirting in the eyes of others.

Xia Yueliang leaned closer to her father: "Daddy, don't you have any idea seeing how loving your grandparents are?"

"What's the little girl thinking again?" Xia Huaixun looked at her sideways, "You promised in the past that you would never find a stepmother for yourself again."
