No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

When Sun Quan came in to pay his respects again, Ou Mengmeng specifically told him about Xiaowu's study of medicine. Sure enough, Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he raised the corners of his mouth.

"Mother, I know you care about Xiaowu. If he feels that the current job is not easy, why not let him go somewhere else to gain some experience?"

"This has nothing to do with whether you feel sorry for him or not. It was difficult for me to give birth to Xiaowu, so your mother favored him and held him all the time. He was raised to be more shy and timid than Xianger. Even when he talks to me, he can't say a word. He's also stubborn! Even when I told her to beat him, your mother wouldn't allow me to. You guys really spoiled him." Ou Mengmeng sighed.

In fact, there are not so many conspiracy theories sometimes. When Mrs. Wu Guotai gave birth to her first child, the baby was full-term, but it was not a natural birth. Instead, after nine months, when everyone started preparing, Mrs. Wu, who had given birth to four children, said that as long as her belly started to drop, she was going to give birth.

At that time, she would check her belly every day to see when it would drop. However, it was also her bad luck. One day, she had been doing needlework for half a day and wanted to walk around. As a result, she was not careful and stepped on empty air. She fell out. At that time, the Sun family was still in Wu County and was considered powerful. But it was impossible to compare with now, where she could have a group of servants. There was a maid next to her, but she couldn't rescue her in time.

So little Sun Lang was thrown out in that situation, and both mother and child were in great danger, so Madam Wu scolded her for being clumsy and took Sun Lang home to raise him herself, fearing that she would be careless again and spoil the child.

Wu Guotai was also injured at that time and had no strength to take care of him. When she recovered, she became pregnant again. So Sun Lang was raised by Mrs. Wu until he was three years old. When she recovered, she helped Mrs. Wu with household affairs and took care of the children. She was familiar with this. She also helped her sister take care of children before. She couldn't do it with children who were too young, but she was very familiar with it after the age of three. In fact, six children were raised together in this way.

But now that they are older, the Sun family is different, and everyone has their own thoughts. Wu Guotai is a careful person. Over the years, she has also kept Sun Lang and Sun Shangxiang under control, saying that these two children are so useless because of Mrs. Wu's favoritism. In fact, isn't this a kind of brainwashing, which makes Mrs. Wu and others stand there.

Of course, the consequence is that the children are good-looking, but their personalities are different. This is not intentional, it is just a coincidence.

"That's right, he is like this. If you really want him to learn medicine, just let him go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and learn slowly. Why go to the National Medical Hall?" Sun Quan may have had too much communication with Wu Guo these days, and he has a better impression of his fifth brother whom he hasn't seen for a long time. When he was young, his fifth brother was indeed loved by his biological mother, but he didn't develop a domineering character, but was shy and timid. Now that his mother said that she wanted him to learn medicine, Sun Quan didn't think much about it. If he wants to learn, just go and learn. He is his younger brother, and there is really no need to go to the National Medical Hall to compete with those orphans for food.

"I want him to go there and learn to grow medicine with those kids. Don't say he is the fifth young master, just go in as a handyman. Let him take a good look at others, then look at himself, and see if he is ashamed." Ou Mengmeng looked disappointed, "We were raised and taught together, why is he more like a daughter than Xiang'er?"

Sun Quan laughed and sighed, "Father was very distressed about him at first, saying that he was born weak and would be fine when he grew up. Why did mother do this?" "Haha!" Ou Mengmeng laughed, thinking that Sun Quan's words were simply lies. When Sun Jian was alive, he could come back several times a year. He only looked at his eldest son and daughter more. As for Sun Lang, his so-called distress was just that a bean sprout stood out among his sons. Then he touched his head and said after a while, 'Take good care of him, our family doesn't need him.' Then he turned around and went to talk to his eldest son. He didn't even touch his thin son. Even though Wu Guotai was so kind-hearted, she was deeply hurt. Otherwise, how could she read these in Wu Guotai's memory.

Sun Quan also remembered this. After all, his father came back too seldom, and he remembered too little, so he could only try to recall many things. Thinking about it, he sighed in his heart, and still smiled and comforted Ou Mengmeng, "Xiaowu is in charge of the clan, so his life is more relaxed."

"I'm actually worried about him staying in the clan." Ou Mengmeng gently pulled Sun Quan's hand and squeezed it. The meaning was clear, and she couldn't say some things.

Sun Quan was startled, but he suddenly realized who Sun Quan was. In the clan, even if he went, he would probably be bullied. Those elders didn't show it on their faces, but they liked to trip him up secretly, making people think that they were elders and had the right to speak. He was just too lazy to argue with them, but if it was Sun Lang, he would probably be bullied, so the old lady got him out this time.

Sun Quan felt a little unhappy. Xiao Wu was his brother after all. Did those old guys really treat them as human beings? But looking at the old lady, he felt a little sorry.

It makes sense. The old lady looked noble, but she was only a concubine after all. She never overstepped her bounds and always kept her duties. She never summoned servants or elders. She rarely saw her daughters-in-law, and kept her distance from her grandchildren. She only saw them during the New Year and other festivals when everyone got together, because she was afraid that people would say she had ulterior motives. She would not ask about the affairs of the clan. How could the elders give her face, let alone Xiao Wu?

The old lady got angry last time because of Sun Shangxiang's marriage, but she still actively helped me think of ways to better resolve the issue.

This time, she just wanted her son to live a more comfortable life. Think about it, a national medical hall is really nothing. After all, everyone knows that the chief priest there is the imperial physician, and the masters are all imperial physicians, medical attendants, female physicians, and medical workers. They are all from official backgrounds. If Sun Lang didn't have an official status, he wouldn't be able to make a big splash. Of course, he didn't believe that he could make a big splash.

"You are so mean. Xiaowu is my brother. Let him go with the common people's sons... Or, I will arrange a position for him in the National Medical Hall as a chief clerk to help with small matters. If he wants to learn, he can learn from him. He won't show off his skills and won't be bullied on weekdays." Sun Quan nodded and said hurriedly. He is my brother. How can this be called a big deal?
"No, it's just to let him gain experience. After being assigned an official position, can he still study hard and calm down to make friends with those children? Can he know shame and be brave? There is no need to give him preferential treatment. He is also a married man and will have children. He has to take on some responsibilities." Ou Mengmeng shook her head, thought about it, and said in a low voice, "He is too honest. This is not good." (End of this chapter)
