The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 244 Hao's Hidden Secret

"Being a magistrate of a county can plead for the people, why do you just..." Hao said urgently.

"Mother, other mothers want their sons to become bigger and bigger, why mother..." Hao Ren was puzzled.

"My mother is different from others. My mother just wants you to live this life in peace. I don't care about any high-ranking official or rich salary!" Hao's attitude suddenly became tough, "If you don't want to listen, don't call me in the future. My mother!"

Hao's voice became louder, and even Leng Ping, who had just entered the door while supporting Zhu Tao, heard it.

"Miss..." Taozi pulled Leng Ping's arm nervously, fearing that the dispute between Hao Shi and Hao Ren was caused by herself.

"It's okay, you go to my room and lie down first, and I'll cook chicken soup for you in a while!" Leng Ping helped her, sent her to the room, let her lie down on the kang, and said, "If you are tired, Just sleep, I will take care of you for the next half month, you just eat and sleep, don't think about other things!"

Tao Zi nodded hurriedly, obediently obediently.

"Sister-in-law, who is she?" Hua'er came in with the quilt in her arms, seeing that Leng Ping was so kind to Zhu Tao, she couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

In the past, my sister-in-law loved her the most. Why is there another young lady in the family?
As soon as Taozi heard Hua'er call Leng Ping sister-in-law, she immediately understood Hua'er's identity, and she was about to go down to the ground to salute Hua'er, "Miss Hua'er, this servant is Miss's maid, from now on you can just call my servant Taozi!"

"Servant?" Hua'er looked at Leng Ping suspiciously.

"Hua'er, this is sister-in-law's maid at home, you can call her Sister Taozi, and she will live in our house from now on, okay?" Leng Ping helped Taozi not to let her come down, then turned around and patted Hua'er's head, Said.

Hua'er threw the quilt onto the kang, pouted, "No, with her, my sister-in-law won't love Hua'er anymore!"

Tao Zi hurriedly said: "No, no, Tao Zi is just Miss Hua'er's maid, and Miss Hua'er is Miss Hua'er's sister-in-law. How could Tao Zi steal Miss Hua'er's favor!"

Taozi seemed to be talking tongue twisters, but Hua'er heard it clearly, and asked Taozi with wide eyes, "You really won't take sister-in-law away?"

Taozi immediately promised: "In the future, Taozi will help Miss take care of Miss Hua'er!"

When Hua'er heard this, she was relieved, climbed onto the kang, sat with Tao Zi, and talked, unexpectedly, the lively and cheerful Hua'er and the taciturn Tao Zi were speculative, and soon became good friends.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leng Ping hurried to the main room, only to see Hao Ren coming out of the room with his head downcast.

"Are you angry?" Leng Ping stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Mother's opinion may not be right, but I pity the hearts of parents in the world. Mothers will not harm their children. In fact, they have to take the exam in Tiancheng It's still early, you really don't need to argue with your mother now!"

Hao Ren looked up at Leng Ping, "You are more reckless than I am, but now you are here to teach me a lesson!"

Leng Ping glared at him, "No matter what, I eat more rice than you eat salt, so listen to me this time!"

"Do you eat salt every day? You're not afraid of dying!" Hao Ren grimaced, and now he was relieved by Leng Ping's teasing, and only then did he have the appearance that a child should have.

"Anyway, you listen to me this time, and stay honest for now. I'll be responsible for coaxing my mother well, and this can be regarded as your return for helping me with Taozi's matter!" Leng Ping had a plan in mind.

Hao Ren slowly curled his lips, "Okay, if you can convince my mother to let me go to Tiancheng for the exam, I will..."

"Just what?" Leng Ping stared at him.

"I'll help you clean up the mess you make in the future!" Hao Ren suddenly laughed.

"I'm always in trouble? What do you mean by that?" Leng Ping stepped forward to scratch Hao Ren's itch.

Hao Ren was taken aback, and quickly avoided, his face couldn't help being angry, "What are you doing, do you think I'm Hua'er?"

Confucius said: "Do not look at anything that is not in accordance with the propriety, do not speak of anything that is not in accordance with the propriety, do not move anything that is not in accordance with the propriety, and do not move anything that is not in accordance with the propriety..."

"Haha, it's so itchy!" Hao Ren bent over being scratched by Leng Ping, dodging, and almost bumped into Hao Dan who was carrying a chicken into the house.

"Brother, sister, just make trouble, you'll exhaust me to death!" Hao Dan protested with a big fat hen in one hand.

Hao Ren quickly took the opportunity to run out, and Leng Ping laughed loudly behind him.

The melancholy of Hao Ren's dispute with Hao Shi was swept away.

Listening to Leng Ping and Hao Ren's laughter in the room, Hao couldn't help wiping away tears.

The current life is good enough. If it wasn't for Hao Shi who couldn't bear Leng Ping to work hard alone, then Hao Shi would not let Hao Ren take the exam. A man should stand upright and defend his family and country, but Hao Ren's identity……

At noon, the family ate a little casually, but Leng Ping made hen soup specially for Taozi. Taking advantage of the soup cooking time, Leng Ping sat in front of the stove and chatted with Hao.

Leng Ping talked about Zhu Tao's matter again, and then said: "Mother, Tao Zi is my maid, and this time it happened again..."

Hao Shi nodded and said: "I know, I know, you can just let her live here, we have a lot of families, but it's not too crowded now, besides, mother knows that you used to be served by people, and you can live here in the city. At that time, Madam Ruan also gave you a maid, so you married into our family, thank you! Now that you have found your own maid, and this happened again, if mother doesn’t let her stay, it will be too much. It's not human!"

Leng Ping wanted to explain that she didn't need Tao Zi's service, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.

"Ping'er, there is something my mother would like to discuss with you!" Hao Ren lit up the fire, looked at the red flames in the stove, and sighed, "Today, my mother and Ren'er had an argument, and you heard it too. Now, mother won't hide it from you. If Ren'er can win the election this time, let Ren'er choose an official. No matter how big or small, he is better than ordinary people. He has something to do and can support the family. You don't need to work so hard! It's just that if Ren'er wants to take the imperial examination, it's absolutely impossible, and don't ask Mother why, just say, are you helping Mother or Ren'er in this matter?"

Leng Ping was thinking about going to the imperial examination later, after all, she had just finished the Qiu Wei exam, and it was still early whether Hao Ren could win the exam, but she didn't expect that Hao Shi was a little restless, and prayed for her allies first.

"Mother, now that Hao Ren has his own ambition, if you don't want him to do it, then at least there is a reason, and now there is not even a reason..." Leng Ping spread her hands, a little embarrassed, "Is it because of money?" ? If it’s because of this, don’t worry. Scorpion’s business is good now, and you can get 30 taels a month, and the fresh medicine is about to go on the market, and it will be another income at that time. Besides, the palace examination will be next year , we’ll have time to save up slowly!”
