Chapter 129 Unsettled Night

When Shi Lin heard her mother let go, she felt overjoyed. She really wanted her niece to marry into the Zeng family, so that her relationship with Mrs. Zeng would be further improved. After all, the Zeng family's momentum is not small. Sister Fang can marry It is a good thing to be married to the Zeng family. It is a good thing to solve the predicament of the family, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the mother and the second brother, so he nodded quickly and said: "It should be possible, Madam Zeng entrusted me with this matter." , I’ll tell you, she’s sure of herself.”

The old lady Shi curled her lips and said: "Well, since I said that, I can consider it, but please don't make it public, our family is a girl, it will be bad if things don't work out, the reputation of the daughter's family is very important , By the way, I have to discuss this matter with your second brother and the others, and if it is approved, you can tell Madam Zeng again."

Shi Lin naturally knows how powerful she is. Besides, they are all girls from the Shi family. If Sister Fang's reputation is ruined, not to mention the small marriages left in the family will be affected. Followed by Chigualuo, he nodded and said: "Mother, don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter, wouldn't I pay more attention to my niece? Besides, if it wasn't for the good of my niece, I wouldn't send Shaoqing away." Bring, this is not to make you and your second elder brother and second sister-in-law look at each other. If you are still satisfied, I will talk to Mrs. Zeng. Besides, it is also just for Sister Fang to be with him. If the two get along, Maybe I don't need to come forward, this Shaoqing will beg his mother himself, and it will be a good thing for the man to take the initiative to join our family."

Mrs. Shi knew that her daughter's words were true. Compared with treating others, her own people were naturally more important in her heart. This was different from her daughter looking for a wife for her grandson, so she nodded with confidence: "That's right, so let's do it first. It just so happens that this child has to stay for a few days, and let us see how his character is. Speaking of which, his family background is barely worthy of him. Alas, our house is indeed not as good as it used to be. If your father is still here, sister Fang And why can't I be worthy of a son of the prince's family, now it can only be like this." Speaking of this old lady, I hated it, if it wasn't for the Li family's affairs, my family would not have been defeated.

Shi Lin felt dejected when she heard this, she pouted unconsciously and said, "Oh, if my father was here, I wouldn't be so aggrieved, and my eldest brother doesn't have to go far to the border town, second brother..." I wanted to say her second brother What will happen, but thinking about her family's second brother is really not good at boasting, so he can only say in a dazed way: "Second brother may also be a man capable of writing and martial arts, he may have already obtained military merits and became a real general with real power, so he will definitely not be as idle as he is today Sitting at home, eating wine and watching a play."

When the old lady heard this, she was unhappy. In her heart, the daughter is important, but the most important thing is the second son, who was brought up by her side since he was a child. Because the eldest son is not caring, she has all the mother's love. I gave it to the second son, and the old man took away the eldest son, so he didn't stop her from raising the second son himself. This child is also good, although he is not good at civil and military affairs, but he is the most obedient and filial. If the boss didn't take care of the Li family The matter made the emperor disgusted, my second son will definitely be able to secure a better official position, maybe I can plan for him, but unfortunately everything is impossible because of the Li family.

Seeing her daughter's look of disliking her second child, the old lady felt a little angry, and reprimanded: "What are you talking about, what's wrong with your brother, in the past when you were at home, your second brother always thought of you. You are the first one who thinks of you when you get a good thing. Your eldest brother is careless. He has never treated you so carefully. Now that he is Mrs. Hou, he doesn’t look down on his brother. Besides, don’t you know why your second brother is like this? , it wasn't the Li family's fault, if there were no Li family matters, your second brother wouldn't have been wasted."

The old lady yelled so suddenly, which really shocked Shi Lin. She patted her beating heart, and said with a charming smile: "Mother, look what's wrong with you. I just said it casually." Well, when you are so angry, it seems that the second brother is still in your heart, and the eldest brother and I have to stand aside." After speaking, he deliberately looked at his mother sadly.

After being made such a fuss by her, Mrs. Shi couldn't be angry anymore, and she also knew that her second son was not a man of letters or martial arts, but these were nothing. Her family didn't need her son to be more motivated. It's good to keep the family business. The second child is not the only one to watch over the general affairs in this mansion. She knows it well in her heart. Although the child is a little bit behind, what's the matter, these family properties have already been owned by the second child. As long as there is no loss to others, it is fine, and she is satisfied with the child.

The more the old lady thought about her second son, the more satisfied she felt, so she felt unhappy that her daughter looked down on her second brother, so she glared at her daughter dissatisfiedly, and said angrily: "You! Don't say anything else, your elder brother left the border town, Your second brother is not in charge of the wealth of the family. If your second brother is not in charge of the family business, you feel that your mother has so much money at her disposal. If you are short for a while, it is not for you. Helper, if your eldest brother is in charge of the house, according to your father's wishes, your mother will not think of any benefits, especially you, a married woman, who is so cheap and good-looking, really careless, okay Yes, treat your second brother better in the future."

Hearing this, Shi Lin had to nod her head. The second elder brother really treated her well in this respect. Every year, the gifts were quite generous. Although the Hou Mansion is good now, it is not an old-fashioned family and has no background. The wives of various prefectures deal with gift giving, if it wasn't for the constant help from her natal family, she really wouldn't be able to produce good things. Thinking about it this way, she became more and more concerned about Sister Fang's affairs, but she couldn't decide Brother Can and Sister Fang just because she couldn't make a decision. What happened to her son affected her second elder brother and second sister-in-law's heart towards her. In the future, she would still rely on her mother's family. Now the family is in charge of this house, which is her mother and second elder brother.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Lin didn't dare to offend her mother even more, and the arrogance she had when she first came also faded a lot, and she smiled and said to her mother: "I know that the second brother treats me well, so the Zeng family's arrogance Speaking of this, I brought the children back in a hurry. Don’t say that I’m just passing by. Did Brother Can come in a hurry? Didn’t I just want my mother and sister-in-law to take a look? That's why Qing came here in a hurry, otherwise, the child is not free, and this child is good at studying, I don't dare to delay his study, do I?"

After listening to her daughter's words, the old lady Shi knew that even though it was not true, she was telling the truth, so she nodded with a smile and said: "Well, I believe this, in the future! You really have to win over your second brother, the boss still I don't know when I will be able to come back, except for your second brother, who can be the master in the mansion? You are used to knowing the thoughts in my heart. Some things may come true based on the thoughts of my superiors over the years. "After speaking, seeing his daughter's disapproval, he snorted and said, "Don't think about the Li family's affairs. Even if this Li family boy can come back, he may not be able to make a fortune. If he doesn't have a princess Wife, can you come back? The emperor can't do anything wrong, remember this!"

At this time, Shi Lin already knew that she was reckless in rushing back while Master Hou was in a hurry, seeing her mother glaring at her, she naturally didn't dare to say anything, so she nodded her head in agreement, and the mother and daughter laughed again Speaking of others.

In this Fuxitang, the mother and daughter are satisfied with the results they want for the time being, but Aunt Shi, after delivering things during the day, caused a stir in Weiguogong's mansion because she went to Huihui's office suddenly. There was a wave, and it was destined that no one except the mother and daughter of the Shi family could sleep peacefully tonight.

Everything in the Duke's Mansion is really too small for Shi Tao who is running outside, but no matter how small it is, it is also a big deal for the elder brother who cares about his sister!No, when he got to the resting place in the wild, Shi Tao sat by the river alone thinking about his thoughts, his back was indescribably melancholy.

This trip, the two cousins ​​of the Princess Mansion failed to make the trip. After all, the cousin did not have the freedom to come here as an idler like Shi Tao, and the goal was small. Speaking of this, Shi Tao is still a bit confused. Originally, he picked up his father. After learning about his aunt’s plan, he began to arrange how to use his aunt’s affairs to show off with the old lady and let his sister out. He knew his father’s helplessness and care for him and his sister all the time, and he also knew that it would be wrong to let his sister out at this time. Out of consideration for my sister's reputation, my sister is twelve after all, and if she doesn't show up, she will be given a reputation of being weak. sister's future.

Thinking of the look in her younger sister's eyes when she heard that she could travel freely one day, Shi Tao felt very sad. Although her younger sister kept saying that she didn't want to come out, it would be better not to face those annoying people and things, but the excitement and longing in her eyes couldn't be concealed. For her own sake, for the sake of her sister, she had to take her uncle home safely this trip.Without his family's retreat, Shi Tao knew that he and his sister would always have a difficult life.

The affairs of the Li family were not peaceful day by day, Shi Tao knew that no one should think about it. Although he had never met his aunt and the others, he also knew that even though the aunt was a princess, her life was aggrieved, and the cousin and the others had always been in the same way. The main thing is to hide from the world. This time, my uncle can be allowed to go home first. It is not just as simple as outsiders know. Although the emperor is nostalgic, he has not yet reached the point where he is willing to admit his mistakes. As a result of wrestling, after all, it is hard to say whether the prince's health is good or not. The emperor's heart is also swaying. My aunt lost her mother in the early years and has been raised by the concubine Ning in the palace. She has a good relationship with the fourth prince. This time, it is thanks to the four The prince and Concubine Ning worked hard to deal with each other.

Although Shi Tao knew that the Fourth Prince and Concubine Ning's efforts might not be without selfishness, but even if there was selfishness, Shi Tao felt nothing. After all, even if his father didn't do anything, in the eyes of others, because his father was connected with his uncle, he was considered the Fourth Prince. A member of the party, even if he is not a member of the Four Princes Party, if the father is neutral, others will not win him over. After all, the risk factor is high. Thinking of this, Shi Tao really felt that if his sister hadn't grown up, she would have stayed in the yard all the time Well, there is no need to be plotted by others for various reasons.
