Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 113 Story, Family

"Laifu, go make a pot of tea."

"Sit down, don't stand."

"Is there something that I can't talk to my uncle about?"

Shu An's voice sounded slowly. In fact, in this era, uncles are closer than brothers and sisters.

After all, brothers and sisters will still have disputes, but on the contrary, uncle has no interest relationship, so he is closer than family affection.

It's just that because too long time has passed, he and this niece are not considered close.

Of course, the main reason is that there is a big gap in age. For example, although this sister is ten years older than me, this niece was born at a relatively later age.

Thinking about it this way, even if Shu An knew some of the reasons, maybe the fact that he didn't have a son caused the niece and grandniece to live on the streets.

Whether it is the same as he guessed, then we have to look at the words of a niece.

Dou Hong sobbed softly, but she still told the whole thing slowly, with a hint of emotion in her words.

It turned out that although Shu An's elder sister Shu Yun had a good status in Fufeng Dou's family, as time went by, because she didn't give birth to a son, she gave birth to a daughter very late.

As time went by, I became unpopular, and that period of time happened to be a period of war, so naturally I could only die in depression.

And Dou Hong's words in the early years made the family betrothed to the children of a branch of the Hedong Liu family.

However, Dou Hong's fate is even worse than that of her own mother. It seems that because of inheriting her mother, she also did not give birth to a son.

Coupled with the fact that her husband didn't love her, the concubine kicked out the first wife from the house. Originally, Dou Hong wanted to return to Fufeng's original family.

However, I didn't expect that at this time, the branch of Fufeng Dou's family would have other half-brothers in the upper ranks, and the mother and daughter would not even be allowed to enter the house.

In the end, Dou Hong had no choice but to take her daughter to join her uncle. Fortunately, her uncle did not dislike her.

There is harm only when there is comparison. Under such circumstances, Dou Hong is full of gratitude to her uncles who are unfamiliar to her.

After Shu An finished listening to the story, his thoughts raced. He never thought that the story would be so twists and turns.

But this late birth, and the problem of not being able to have a son, even Shu An felt a little helpless, after all, even before he traveled.

There are also many people who have been giving birth to daughters, but they don't have sons, and even doctors can't see what's wrong.

Not to mention this era, there are some people who are born to be like this, so there is no way, but it is indeed a bit too much to drive out of the house.

"Fufeng Dou's family, Hedong Liu's family."

Shu An murmured softly, as if he was thinking about something. In this era, these two families can barely be regarded as quite famous aristocratic families.

Among them, the words of the Fufeng Dou family have declined, but the words of the Hedong Liu family have a feeling of rising sun.

To ordinary people, it was considered a colossus, but to Shu An, it was nothing.

But from another perspective, the fate of this niece and her daughter has also changed.

For the time being, Shu An has remembered these two aristocratic families, if they run into each other in the future, she doesn't mind giving her niece a sigh of relief.

"From now on, you will live in the mansion first, and you don't have to worry about it in the future. Uncle can still support two people."

After thoughts were flying, Shu An's eyes fell on Dou Hong and he said slowly, making a promise.

You must know that this era values ​​commitment, and this commitment is exactly what this mother and daughter need.

"Thank you uncle!"

"Ya Ya, come quickly and thank you, uncle and grandpa."

Dou Hong said with some sobs, with a hint of choking in her words.

"Thank you, Uncle, Grandpa, Yaya!"

The little girl said with a hint of happiness on her face that she didn't understand the meaning of what uncle and grandpa said, but she was happy when her mother was happy.

"Little girl, if you need anything, you can find uncle and grandpa."

Shu An touched the little girl's forehead, and couldn't help but sighed slightly, her complexion was green and yellow, obviously she couldn't eat enough, one can imagine the difficulties of the mother and daughter.

Originally, there was a severe drought in the pass, and the price of food soared, and the travel expenses along the way had already been spent, otherwise they would not have ended up in this state. This niece must have suffered a lot, and she hardly brought much when she was kicked out of the house.

"Cuckoo!"

However, just as a sound of hunger came from the little girl's stomach, Shu An couldn't help being stunned.

"Uncle, Ya Ya is hungry!"

The little girl looked at Shu An with watery eyes and said.

She will never forget what this uncle and grandpa said just now, if you need anything, just say it.

Dou Hong couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive on the side, after all, she thought that what this uncle said was kind words.

Shu An's eyes fell on Lai Fu who brought the tea, with a trace of doubt on his face, logically speaking, he should not be hungry until this morning.

"Master, Miss Biao didn't arrive at Shu Mansion until sunset yesterday. The old slave asked if she was hungry. Plus, the old slave was worried about you, so she forgot to prepare meals."

Laifu said with a wry smile on his face, with a hint of apology in his words.

But Dou Hong who heard the words was a little flattered, because she had never been called that.

When I was in Dou's family before, because my daughter was not loved, I only had a nanny to take care of her, let alone marrying into the Hedong Liu family.

She is even looked down upon by her husband, and none of the servants think highly of her, mainly because the strength of the Hedong Liu family is stronger than that of the Fufeng Dou family.

"Don't starve this little girl, prepare meals earlier, and cook some porridge for me."

Shu An ordered in a soft voice, without concealing his love for this little girl in his words.

"Yes, sir!"

Laifu nodded and said, turned around and immediately went down to order the kitchen.

Of course, he also didn't forget to make a few sets of clothes. Indeed, even the clothes on Laifu's body were much better than the patched clothes.

If people who don't know it spread it, they would think that the master has treated this niece badly.

"I don't know if the little girl has ever read a book."

"My mother taught some, and I also taught Ya Ya."

Then Shu An began to ask some daily questions. Not all women in this era are illiterate.

Generally, ladies and gentlemen can learn some characters, at least they can understand simple books.

Shu An originally thought that her niece and her daughter should be illiterate, after all, life seemed unsatisfactory.

He didn't expect to be able to read and write, which made Shu An nod inwardly. It seems that his deceased sister taught him well.

As for other issues, they were basically past events, and Shu An didn't pay much attention to them.
