The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 26 Mother-in-law’s tricks

This snowskin mooncake is so small and placed in a bone dish. It is extremely exquisite.

Cui Mujin picked up another sliced ​​lotus paste and egg yolk mooncake and took a bite. The soft lotus paste melted on the tip of her tongue, and the saltiness of the egg yolk spread, leaving a sweet fragrance on her lips and teeth.

Zhao Yun was very happy when he saw Zhang Cui Mujin eating happily.

Cui Mujin fed Zhao Yunzhang a mouthful, "I'll give some to my mother! Let her have a taste too."

Zhao Yunzhang was very happy after hearing this. The relationship between Cui Mujin and her mother-in-law has always been complicated! Sending mooncakes can ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she nodded.

Cui Mujin changed her clothes, and Dongzhu carried the food box and walked towards Mrs. Yongjiahou's yard.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard a burst of laughter. It must be Luo Shi, the wife of the Crown Prince of Yongjia, who had brought her two sons over again.

In the room, Luo's two sons were jumping around. Mrs. Yongjiahou looked at her two grandsons with eyes full of love.

"Mom, this house is so lively!" Cui Mujin came in with a smile, "My wife, come and give me some mooncakes to try."

"Oh." Mrs. Yongjiahou frowned, "Put it somewhere!"

Cui Mujin saluted Luo Shi and stood aside.

The atmosphere in the room became a little stiff. Mrs. Yongjiahou took a sip of tea and glanced at her daughter-in-law. Her son was a Tanhualang. He became a fourth-rank official at a young age, but he did not expect to marry a merchant girl. , without any help from her mother's family, she couldn't even have a child. Just like this, her son still refuses to take a concubine. What's the use of just being good-looking?

Cui Mujin served the mooncakes on a bone plate and came to serve her mother-in-law in person, "Mom, please try it. This is our Suzhou specialty."

Mrs. Yongjiahou took a taste of the silver fork and frowned, "What kind of mooncake is this? Where can I eat meat wrapped in mooncakes! And this egg yolk, it's so fishy!"

"Mom, this moon cake is delicious!" Luo Shi said, rolling his eyes.

Cui Mujin has a good temper, “This is how our old family eats!”

"What delicious food can you get in that remote place of yours?" Mrs. Yongjiahou put down her fork.

Mrs. Yongjiahou is the daughter of a border military commander and is illiterate, so her speech is inevitably a bit vulgar.

Cui Mujin felt very sad after hearing this. Her hometown is Suzhou, the richest place in the world, and her family is also a first-class wealthy family in Suzhou.

"There's a fishy smell in the mouth, just like the isinglass you brought before!" Yongjiahou kept chattering.

The fine isinglass cost dozens of taels of silver and one tael. Cui Mujin pinched his fingers.

Luo Shi was very well-behaved. Seeing her mother-in-law say this, she poured tea and greeted her, "Mother-in-law, please rinse your mouth!"

Seeing Luo Shi being so attentive, Cui Mujin couldn't be idle and personally brought the spittoon to her mother-in-law.

"Come and rub your shoulders for me! I've been very sore these past few days." Mrs. Yongjiahou spat, and the water in the spittoon splashed onto Cui Mujin's hand.

Cui Mujin frowned, went to clean her hands, and then rubbed her mother-in-law's shoulders.

"I have to say that I am still a filial child, but my hands are weak." Mrs. Yongjiahou closed her eyes.

When Cui Mujin heard what her mother-in-law said, she increased the strength of her hands, but her mother-in-law didn't mean to stop after rubbing it for half an hour.

The weather is very hot. Cui Mujin's wrists are sore and her head is sweating slightly. She was also a young lady at home, and she was served by more than twenty maids and women in her yard.

Cui Mujin looked around and entered her mother-in-law's room. Her maid could not follow her in and could only stay in the side room. What should she do?
There are hundreds of ways for a mother-in-law to chastise her daughter-in-law. Today, the emperor governs the country with filial piety, and any daughter-in-law who is slightly disobedient will be said to be unfilial. Her mother-in-law couldn't stop until her mother-in-law told her to stop.

Today was busy with official duties. Zhao Yunzhang lay on the bed for a while. When he woke up, he found that it was already dark and his wife had not come back yet, so he asked the maid in the room, "How long has Madam been here?"

The maid replied respectfully, "Madam has been gone for almost an hour."

When he heard that Cui Mujin had not come back after being gone for an hour, Zhao Yunzhang said in his heart, "No!" So he rolled up and ran like a front yard.

"Mother," Zhao Yunzhang saluted respectfully, and Cui Mujin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Yongjiahou was filled with joy when she saw her little son. Her son won the lottery at a young age and became a high-ranking official. This gave her a certain face in front of the Marquis. Mrs. Yongjiahou was already in her forties. The old Marquis also came to her room to talk to her from time to time because of his son.

"Sit down!" Zhao Yunzhang sat next to his mother, and felt heartbroken when he saw Cui Mujin's aggrieved look, "Mom, are your shoulders sore?
"Yes, I gave birth to you at that time. Your father was fighting at the border. I worked hard day and night, and the confinement period was not done well."

"Son, let me rub it for you!" Zhao Yunzhang came over, and Cui Mujin took the opportunity to stretch his wrist.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Yongjiahou exclaimed in a fuss, "This is all done by servants!"

You also know that this is all done by servants! Zhao Yunzhang laughed a little in his heart, "A son should be filial to his mother!"

"Shouldn't a daughter-in-law be filial?" Mrs. Yongjiahou was very angry, and her son knew how to protect this charming child.

"I ask your wife to do something, and you come running over. Can't I order her around?"

"My son doesn't mean this! My son just wants to be filial to his mother!"

"You still said no!" Mrs. Yongjiahou pushed her son aside, "You just married a daughter-in-law and forgot about your mother."

Zhao Yunzhang stood aside and didn't know what to say.

Cui Mujin has a weak temperament, and she burst into tears when she heard these words. No matter what she did, her mother-in-law would not be satisfied.

"You are still aggrieved. You started crying when you told me what I did to you? Why?" Mrs. Yongjiahou looked aggrieved, "Oh my God! This daughter-in-law can't be scolded! Just let her Just rub your shoulders and start crying like this!"

Zhao Yunzhang was in a dilemma, "Mom, don't say that! Jin Niang is also filial..."

Before Zhao Yunzhang finished speaking, Mrs. Yongjia Hou casually took a bone dish and threw it over, "Oh my God! This is how a son protects his wife. I have worked so hard to raise you! In my son's eyes, I only have a wife and not a mother. Oh! Oh my god! I don’t want to live anymore!”

Cui Mujin knelt on the ground, "It's my daughter-in-law who is ignorant and annoyed her mother-in-law. Mother-in-law must not be angry!"

Mrs. Yongjiahou burst into tears, "How dare I offend my own daughter-in-law? The person I am marrying is not a daughter-in-law, but an aunt! Oh my god! I can't live anymore!"

Mrs. Yongjiahou was slapping her thighs and crying harder and harder! Luo Shi also helped again and again, "Mom, you are not in good health, don't be angry!"

Cui Mujin knelt on the ground, shedding tears fearfully. She didn't know what to do, and she became more and more frightened.

Mrs. Yongjiahou glanced at her and smiled proudly in her heart.

"You go back first!" Zhao Yunzhang helped Cui Mujin and asked the maid to take her out.

Cui Mujin walked quickly to her yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she lay on the bed and cried!
She has had enough of this kind of life!
