Those things about the landlady

Chapter 97

Yao Jiaxing was also obedient, took the chopsticks and started eating again, Shu Ran picked up a chopsticks dish for him, and then said:
"His biological mother, Mei Shi, came to visit yesterday. The maid said that when she left, her eyes were red and she was wiping away tears. I guess she was very emotional. I just thought she was reluctant to part with her son. I guess she said something to Brother Zhong. , that child must have struggled with it all day, and now that he is begging, he must have made up his mind."

Yao Jiaxing said displeased: "Is he so soft-headed and uninformed? He doesn't know what to do? He's really stupid. He doesn't look like my Yao family at all. If he wants to kneel, let him kneel."

Shu Ran smiled helplessly, "It's good to kneel for a while longer, let him think again."

As long as Mrs. Mei really thinks about her son, she will not try her best to keep him in Caohe Town. What is the use of staying here to study hard, except to satisfy her own selfishness, it is of no benefit to his future.

The original good atmosphere between the two disappeared just because of Brother Zhong's appearance. Shu Ran saw that Brother Bo's head drooped, and his little finger was stuffed into his mouth. He hugged it down.

After taking Brother Zhong away, Shu Ran made another bowl of soup for Yao's family. After he was full, he persuaded softly: "Brother Zhong is a child after all, and it is inevitable that he will be influenced by his biological mother. Be angry and talk to him nicely."

Yao Jiaxing patted her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry about it, I know how to measure it, he was raised badly by his biological mother, if he doesn't listen to persuasion, I won't do anything to him, the road is his own of."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked out, and Shu Ran hurriedly followed.

At this moment, Brother Zhong was kneeling obediently outside the courtyard gate, he was stubborn and refused to get up, as if the whole world owed him.

Yao Jiaxing hated such a child the most. He said in a deep voice: "No one is forcing you to go to the capital together. If you don't want to go, you won't go. Do you want to scare someone by kneeling like this? Or simply want to force your mother?"

Yao Jiaxing's voice was very loud, causing the servants on duty to turn their heads and look sideways, Brother Zhong naturally heard it clearly, he was instinctively afraid of Yao Jiaxing, and he did not expect him to return to the main courtyard.

I bowed my head respectfully, and then said: "I don't want to force my mother, but I just want her to agree with me to stay in Caohe Town. I know this is inappropriate, so I come here to apologize."

Yao Jiaxing sneered, "Don't you call it inappropriate, you call it stupid, do you understand what it means not to go to the capital?"

Brother Zhong raised his head and fixed his eyes on Yao Jiaxing. He breathed heavily and said angrily: "I understand, don't you just want to say that I don't care about my own future? A useless person like me has a limited future. Now my biological mother needs me, she can't leave me, only she is sincere to me, how can I leave her."

Yao Jiaxing didn't get angry when he heard him say that, he calmly said: "Since this is your own choice, you are willing to be depraved, don't resent us in the future, no one will force you to do anything, I will fulfill you, you can go .”

Brother Zhong was a little dazed, he was surprised that the matter was resolved so easily, Yao Jiaxing stopped talking to him after finishing speaking, and said to Shu Ran:
"You don't pay attention to him. No matter how nice you are to him, it's not as effective as a few words from his biological mother. I have some things to deal with in the front yard. You can accompany Bo Geer to rest earlier."

Shu Ran nodded, she didn't plan to take care of this matter anymore, the more she took care of it, the more annoying it would be, so why bother.

After watching Yao Jiaxing leave, Shu Ran also turned around and walked into the house, she didn't want to waste time on this child anymore.

The two left just like that, and Brother Zhong stood up in a daze. He looked at the room in the main courtyard, wondering whether he should go in and make amends, but he thought of the crying face of his biological mother.

She said that she would not recognize her when she left, and would not care about her. If something happened to her at her husband's house, she might not even have someone who would stand in for her. She said she couldn't do without him. Brother Zhong felt that apart from Birth mother, in fact, no one will need him. If so, he should stay with those who need him. As for the future, as for the future, he is long gone.

He thought that as long as he studied hard, he would have a way out in the future, but he couldn't understand those obscure sentences at all, and the dark and contemptuous eyes of the husband made him feel like a knife was twisting his heart.

He thought that if he couldn't read well, he would be able to see hope by painting or playing chess, but he was so stupid that he couldn't do anything, so Brother Zhong gave up by himself, and he stayed in Caohe Town as a landowner. Well, father and mother are capable people, and they will never be stingy in giving him a few acres of land in the future, so he doesn't want to bother.

Shu Ran looked at his back as he staggered away through the window, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, Yunshan was filled with righteous indignation: "The eldest son really has no conscience, as soon as his biological mother cried and complained, she forgot your kindness to him. Isn't it enough time for him to toss about, you have spent so much time just asking for a husband for him, but in the end you are useless and don't remember your kindness, you are simply a white-eyed wolf."

Shu Ran couldn't see anyone else, so Shu Ran went to the plinth and sat down, indifferently said: "Stop talking about it, and don't say it in front of outsiders in the future, after all, you can't give him wholeheartedly, and you can't help him if you call me mother." Let him move on to a better path, so let’s just settle down, let’s go on, the mansion won’t receive guests for the past two days, and everything is in a mess, so it’s not easy for outsiders to see.”

Yunshan nodded happily. She had been looking forward to the capital for a long time. Shu Ran didn't tell too many people the exact date of her departure. Only Feng's second grandma He shopkeeper and others knew.

Two days later, early in the morning, when the sun was shining, their family boarded the carriage. Second Grandma Feng was still a little bit reluctant, and took Shu Ran's hand and said:
"Don't worry about going to the capital. When the Baiwei Building opens, I will definitely earn enough money for you. If you gain a firm foothold in the capital, your master will be promoted step by step. If you need someone in charge, remember to leave a place for my son. He is studying." Even if it doesn’t work, it’s still possible to do some errands.”

Shu Ran couldn't refuse these words. After all, Sister Qian's matter was there, so she felt a little sorry, and said with a smile: "Let's do it, let's see if our master has that ability first, and you should also take care, don't mess around Keep an eye on the three-acre land in the back house, and write to me if you have any difficulties."

Second Grandma Feng nodded hurriedly, and she said with a smile: "Aunt Jing didn't look for you later, she was put under house arrest by Uncle Jing, now Uncle Jing only has two grandchildren, Brother Xuan and Sister Xi, and the bastard is also It’s useless, how can you let them go.”

So it turned out that Shu Ran wondered why Aunt Jing never showed up, but it saved her trouble, Shu Ran couldn't wait.

Yao Jiaxing saw that the salutes had been put back properly, and urged Shu Ran: "If you say something good, let's go. If we leave early, we can reach the capital as soon as possible. If we delay for a long time, we will get cold on the road."

Shu Ran nodded, and patted the back of Grandma Feng's hand, "It's time to go, let's get together next time."

After all, she took her children into the carriage without looking back, and the convoy set off after a while. The Yao family's carriage convoy was quite large, and there were more than fifty guards on both sides alone, which was enough to see the Yao family's carriage. strong financial resources.

After sending them off, the maid next to Second Grandma Feng said: "Second Grandma, Sister Qian is still making trouble in the mansion, so she can't be locked up like this forever."

Back then, Sister Qian didn't come out of Yao's house voluntarily. It was Grandma Feng who called a thick servant girl, tied her up and put her on the carriage and forcibly pulled her back. The sweet dream of going to the capital has annoyed Second Grandma Feng very much.

Grandma Feng said indifferently: "Now that everyone is gone, it's useless for her to make trouble. Who makes her unhappy? I have to leave a way out for my son, right? It's fate, so what if you don't accept fate?" Woolen cloth."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw a woman in plain clothes running over in a hurry. Her belly seemed to be slightly protruding. Although it was not obvious, anyone who had given birth could tell it at a glance.

Second Grandma Feng squinted her eyes and looked carefully. There was an honest farmer next to the woman. When she got closer and took a look, she was still an acquaintance.

"Who am I? It turns out to be the former Aunt Mei. What are you doing in such a hurry? She has already left."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mei sat down on the ground, her whole body was a little lost, and she seemed to remember something in a flash, and asked impatiently: "Did Second Grandma Feng ever see our brother Zhong get into the carriage?"

Second Grandma Feng sneered, "How could it be possible to see brother Zhong? I heard from Yunshan girl that he wants to stay by your side. How can he be filial to you when he goes to the capital? What a filial son, his biological mother is already married. If you are still so filial, it will be good to plant land in Caohe Town in the future."

Grandma Feng's words were obviously mocking Mrs. Mei, who said in pain: "I regret it, I have been coming to Yao's mansion every day these days, but my wife doesn't see any visitors, and I can't see Brother Zhong either. That's why he missed his chance."

Grandma Feng didn't think it was a big deal when she watched the excitement, "Isn't it a missed opportunity? How many people want their children to go to the capital with no way out, but you are here to hold back your son. Sooner or later, your son will be killed by you."

These words pierced into Mei's heart like a knife. She didn't know why she was so confused. It might be because of her pregnancy. The son is still in Caohe Town and is still the eldest son of the Yao family, so her biological mother will have no one to rely on, and the old godly woman in the family will not dare to suppress her unscrupulously.

But her intention was not like this. Seeing her crying sadly, Second Grandma Feng said mercilessly: "How are you pretending? No one is watching. Your son will not blame you in the future. After all, it is his own choice. You have to Raise the fetus well, give birth to a filial and obedient child, how blessed it is."

After she finished speaking, she left with her maidservant with a bright smile, only Mei was too regretful to weep bitterly, and her newly married husband would not coax her, so he just muttered to stop crying.

Grandma Feng felt a little pity that Shu Ran hadn't been able to see this wonderful drama, so she had to write a letter to tell her that gossip is only interesting if someone shares it.

The carriage had only been gone for three or five days, and Shu Ran had nothing else to think about. She felt that she was about to fall apart. At first, the mother and son were happy to travel far away, so she couldn't help but lift the curtain to go out while sitting in the carriage. Look, especially when you first left Caohe Town, everything was fresh.

In fact, most of the places are inaccessible, and there are weeds and shrubs on both sides of the road. Now that it is winter again, it is a depression everywhere, and there is no scenery at all.

The colder it was as they walked toward the capital. After half a month, even if they brought enough bedding, they couldn't keep warm. Finally, the youngest Bo Geer couldn't stand it anymore and fell ill.

He was already a small villain, no matter how airtight the carriage was, it would still be cold, and he didn't dare to put a carbon basin for fear of coal poisoning, so most of the time he had to be carried by adults.

Seeing the gray sky, the experienced guards in the team saw that it was going to snow heavily, and they didn't dare to delay on the way, so they wanted to find an inn to stay for a few days, and then set off after the heavy snow passed.

The road didn't stop. Fortunately, Shu Ran prepared a lot of cooked food, and he was very hungry even after eating it. Brother Bai in the carriage developed a high fever. He was too young to give him strong medicine, so he had to let the nanny eat it. After feeding him the medicine, Shu Ran hugged him distressedly.

The high fever caused the little guy's face to turn red, his breathing became much heavier, and he moaned and groaned uncomfortably. Shu Ran's heart was pulled together. Seeing Yao Jiaxing lift the car curtain and enter, tears immediately flowed down his face.

"I shouldn't be in such a hurry to take him to Beijing together. He was born prematurely and is so young, and now he still has to suffer from this."

Yao Jiaxing didn't care that there were sisters Ning and Sister Ning in the carriage, and hugged them in his arms, comforting him: "Don't worry, Brother Bo is fine, the doctor said, it will be fine after the medicine takes effect. The fever is gone, you can't collapse by yourself first, the children still need you."

Sister Xin was also so frightened that her eyes were full of tears. Sister Ning hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her. Only then did Shu Ran regain her senses. This was the first time she had experienced such a thing. so many.

Yao Jiaxing took Brother Bo and hugged him, and stretched out his big rough palm to stroke his forehead, "It's much better now, the fever is slowly fading, don't worry, your eyes will burn after a few days It's done, let's sleep for a while, and Sister Ning will also take Sister Xin to the carriage behind to sleep, there is an inn not far ahead, and then we will have a good rest for a few days."

Yao Jiaxing also blamed himself a little. He was on his way blindly, and he ignored his wife and children during the day and night. Since the distance to the capital was only half a month away, he might as well take a rest first. If it really snowed heavily, he couldn’t go. If the roof of the carriage is crushed, it is possible that the group of them would freeze to death in the wild, and Yao Jiaxing did not dare to take such a risk.

He loudly signaled the carriage to stop, and first sent sisters Ning and Xin to the next carriage. Sister Ning was wearing a cap from the beginning to the end, and she did not relax even if the guards at home were all around. Mrs. Luo means that the older the daughter's family is, the more she should pay attention to taboos.

Shu Ran didn't object either. When walking outside, you still need to be vigilant. Who can guarantee that there will be no villains inside the guards. There is nothing wrong with being careful. My daughter is born dazzling, so it is better not to challenge the kindness of others.

After seeing off the two sisters, Yao Jiaxing boarded the carriage again. He covered Shu Ran with the quilt, and touched her face comfortingly: "Sleep at ease, brother Bo is fine, I will watch over you two."

Shu Ran worried: "Will the convoy not make mistakes without you leading the way?"

Yao Jiaxing smiled and shook his head: "You can't be wrong, don't worry about it."
