Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 6 Playing
He added: "My mother has been the director of the family for more than ten years and has been dedicated to her work.

Every day, they are either managing accounts, organizing banquets, offering sacrifices, attending banquets, etc.

We are brothers and sisters. Our mother has rarely been with us since we were young. Most of the time we have been taken care of by our maids and wet nurses.

The sisters-in-law are usually in harmony, but there are times when they compare and argue, and the mother, as the mistress, has to mediate. "

Tang Bingxuan looked directly into her father's eyes and continued: "To be arrogant, you don't have concubines, otherwise my mother will be even more tired. Although Wen Bai was born from a common relationship, he has been raised by his mother since he was a child, which is better than his own."

"My daughter sees her mother's daily hard work, and she always warns herself not to be like this in the future." The more Tang Bingxuan talked about it, the more she felt aggrieved for her mother, so after she became sensible, she had to force herself to do well for the sake of her mother's smile. Learn your lessons.

Duke Rong Guo was not angry because of his daughter's words. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said to his daughter: "Father, I understand what you said. However, you have to get married anyway. No matter what family you are in, there will always be all kinds of trivial matters. "

"Father, don't worry, my daughter doesn't want to be a sister-in-law, Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. She just keeps talking and can't stop talking." Tang Bingxuan smiled playfully at her father and rolled her eyes.

"You haven't been shy since you were a child. If you have any requests, just tell your father. We will choose the taller one among the shorter ones. We will always make sure you have a comfortable life."

"Father, you are wise and mighty!" Tang Bingxuan was so proud of such an enlightened father.

So, Tang Bingxuan told her father all the conditions she had discussed with her eldest brother, including a series of supplements.

Even though Duke Rong Guo felt that his daughter was the best and was not worthy of other brats, he still felt that his daughter was too picky.

On February 26, the second young master Tang Wenyun and the third young master Tang Wenbai, who were studying abroad, returned home.

Tang Wenyun, 14 years old, inherited his father's legacy, followed the path of liberal arts, took the imperial examination, and became a scholar.

11-year-old Tang Wenbai is not outstanding in writing and his martial arts skills are not satisfactory, but he is still young and reading more is always beneficial.

Both of them study at Yunshan Academy and take three days off at the end of every month. Yunshan Academy is located in the southern suburbs of Kyoto. It is named because the academy is built halfway up Yunshan Mountain.

"Greetings to grandma," the two handsome young men kowtowed to Mrs. Shao together to say hello.

The madam was very happy to see her two grandsons. They had grown a lot taller after not seeing each other for a month. In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Rong Guo, the second and third bedroom couples, each took their children to have dinner with the concubine in Songhe Courtyard. The concubine was so happy when she saw her children and grandchildren that she ate half a bowl of rice more.

After dinner, the elders chatted and drank tea with the wife in the East Room, while the grandchildren played in groups in the East Room.

"The weather is good today, and it will definitely be sunny tomorrow. It just so happens that the second child and the third child are back. Tomorrow I will take these children to Qingliang Mountain in the western suburbs for an outing. Fortunately, I will stay in Zhuangzi for a few days. The second child and the third child will be there the day after tomorrow. It’s closer to go back to the academy directly from the eastern suburbs, so you don’t have to go back and go through the trouble again.”

"Mother, my son and second brother will not be free tomorrow, so let the third brother escort you." Rong Guogong arranged for his younger brother to share the worries of his mother and his second brother.

"Brother, don't worry. Although my younger brother's martial arts skills are not as good as yours, he is still better than ordinary juniors. It's absolutely fine to bring a few more guards." Tang Sanye quickly expressed his stance to his elder brother.

Duke Rong Guo had no prejudice against his unlearned younger brother. Although his third younger brother was not a talented person, he had never done anything like bullying or stealing. On weekdays, he just eats, drinks, walks around Kyoto and has fun, and his family is not short of money.

"Then thank you third brother for fulfilling your filial piety." The second master, Tang Jingyu, bowed directly to his third brother. Third Master Tang Jingrui's eyelids twitched, and he quickly got up from his seat, avoiding the second brother's gift.

"Second brother, can you stop using your Hanlin bachelor's manner at home? I can't bear it, little brother." The third master rubbed his arm inelegantly.

The second master glanced at his third brother with contempt and snorted, "Rotten wood cannot be carved."

"Okay, how old are you to still make trouble?" The wife glared at her youngest son, then turned to her three daughters-in-law and asked: "Which one of you three wants to go out for some fun?"

"Mom, the Shangsi Festival is coming soon. There are many things at home, so my wife will not go." Mrs. Liu, Rongguo Gong's wife, replied.

"Mom, the second master is on duty. He can't be alone when he comes home, and his wife is not going either." The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, intended to put her husband first.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is going to go. The yard is deserted by myself, so I can go and serve you." The third lady, Shao, said positively.

"Okay, let's make a decision then. It's getting late, let's go back and rest. We still have to go back to pack our things, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." The madam dismissed everyone.

The next morning, after breakfast, five carriages carrying one cart of luggage, with the third master and the eldest master riding guard behind them on horseback, headed for Qingliang Mountain in the western suburbs.

"Sister, is Zhuangzi big? Is it fun?" Tang Bingyan opened the curtain, looked at the lively street outside, and asked excitedly. I went there once two years ago, but I was too young to remember.

Tang Bingxuan was lying on the cotton mat. She got up too early and couldn't stop. She was drowsy with her pillow on Zhichun's legs. This time I only brought Zhichun with me. Anyway, I don’t have to meet guests in my village. I keep my clothes and hair accessories simple and my life is more comfortable.

"There is a courtyard with three entrances. It's not big or small." He replied vaguely to the younger sister, and then nothing happened.

Tang Bingyan's eldest maid Jixiang hugged the fourth lady, and as the carriage moved forward, Tang Bingyan fell asleep soon. When the sisters woke up, they saw endless farmland and rolling mountains, and they were almost at Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was built to the east of the foot of Qingliang Mountain. It is surrounded by mountainous areas and mainly grows fruit trees. When they arrived at Zhuangzi, the leader of the village, Tian Da, came up with all the servants and women, and kowtowed to the master's house to greet him.

The wife asked about last year's harvest, rewarded everyone in the village, and asked the servants who had followed to pack their luggage and settle down, while she took the children around the village.

"Grandma, there is a pond over there, and there are many fish swimming around in it." "Yes, there are many." Tang Wenzhu and Tang Wenhong came over excitedly to tell everyone.

"Mother, my son is going fishing now. I will serve you a steamed fish for lunch." He ordered the boy to find a fishing rod quickly, and the third master led his son and nephew to go fishing.

"Mom, my cousin is still a child, so please bear with me." The third lady is the youngest daughter of the second brother of the dowager's natal family, and they have always been close to each other.

"Mom doesn't expect him to make any achievements, as long as you don't dislike him for being hopeless." Mrs. Tai patted her niece Shao's hand.

Mom, my cousin and I are childhood sweethearts. We have known his temperament since we were young. My daughter-in-law does not ask him to have great ambitions, as long as she can live in harmony with her cousin in this life. "The third lady said shyly.
