Lady's life after time travel

Chapter 34

Uncle Zhao is actually a very honest person, honest in studying and taking the imperial examinations. If he hadn't met Xiao Bozhan, he probably wouldn't have been able to marry Xiao Ning. Although she is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Duke. It's a grievance for me to be a poor and white scholar, so after marriage, Mrs. Zhao did her best to treat Xiao Ning as well as she could.Even at the end when Mrs. Zhao tentatively proposed to take her uncle and aunt to the capital to be raised, Xiao Ning didn't hesitate at all.

Uncle Zhao sighed that he had married a virtuous wife. He thought that the lady of the Duke's Mansion must be extremely delicate, and he was afraid that people would look down on him. He didn't expect Xiao Ning to be gentle and obedient to himself.

But all the good life has changed since my uncle and aunt came here. My uncle and aunt have lived in the country for a long time. Once they become rich, many bad behaviors will be exposed. Let’s not talk about whether to eat or sit. It's a small problem, but after the uncle and aunt enjoyed the privileged class for a while, they became like nouveau riche.

In addition, I learned from a few wealthy households nearby, and some unsavory methods have come out.For example, when I saw the old woman who was outside the staff and had her daughter-in-law standing behind to serve her every meal, I also thought about this addiction, so I said it openly and secretly. Xiao Ning originally sat down to eat with everyone. Because of this, he became the only one standing at the dinner table. Uncle Zhao wanted to say something, but Xiao Ning said that it's all the same for daughter-in-laws, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Well, Uncle Zhao also thinks this is nothing.But this aunt actually imitated others, saw that Xiao Ning's stomach didn't move, and wanted to take a concubine for herself, not to mention whether she was willing to take a concubine, the key is that now the whole family lives in the yard bought by the wife herself , board and lodging are all used by his wife, and now he wants to spend his wife's money to find a concubine for himself, he is a man, how can he accept such a thing?

After finally waiting for his wife to become pregnant, Mr. Zhao couldn't help being overjoyed. Although he said he was not in a hurry at first, who wouldn't want to have a child of his own?But Uncle Zhao hasn't been happy for a few days, and this aunt has heard from somewhere that when the mistress is pregnant, the big family can't serve the male master, so they have to find a woman for the male master, so now they are making a fuss again .

When Xiao Bozhan found Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao was ashamed and kept apologizing to Xiao Bozhan.

Xiao Bozhan said: "As the saying goes, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace, brother-in-law can't blindly only know how to study, and let the family be a mess."

Uncle Zhao blushed when she was told, "It's all my fault, but my uncles and aunts raised me, so I can't blame them."

"There are many ways to repay people. As far as I can see, your uncle and aunt are not suitable for life in the capital. If you continue to live there, it will hinder your life and career in the future. I mean, you You can buy the world for the two old people in your hometown, buy a few houses for servants, and take good care of them. If you want to come to a familiar environment, they will live happily, right? You don’t have any worries here, isn’t it the best of both worlds? As far as my selfishness is concerned, Xiao Ning is our youngest sister, and I don't want her to be wronged. But this is your Zhao family's business. I'm just making a suggestion. As for what to do in the end, it's up to you Idea. Xiao Ning is obedient, she will agree to whatever decision you make. No matter how bad it is, you will go to work in other places in the future, and then you will bring your uncle and aunt with you?"

Xiao Bozhan's last words touched Uncle Zhao's heart, yes, if you have a foreign job in the future, you can't take uncles and aunts with you. The best way is to place them in their hometown and provide for them well, and uncles and aunts are Those who care about face, they are landlords in their hometown, and that's enough face.It's better than being laughed at by others in the capital.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao bowed to Xiao Bozhan, "Thank you for your guidance, brother, I understand."

"What, you asked our old couple to move back? How can this work? Did your wife instigate it?" Uncle Zhao's uncle and aunt asked.

Uncle Zhao hurriedly said: "Uncle and aunt, this is my idea. I thought, I might go to other places to work in the future. How inconvenient is it for you two to stay in Beijing? So I thought about covering the second elder in my hometown. A courtyard, and then hire someone to take care of the two elders, and the second elder can still be with the neighbors, isn’t it great? Think about it, isn’t it very face-saving for everyone to call the second elder the old lady?”

His uncle and aunt were right after thinking about it. Here, several people looked down on them and said they were bumpkins. If not, they wouldn't have learned from others everywhere. If they went to the countryside, who wouldn't respect them?

But when he thought of leaving here, he would lose his nephew and daughter-in-law's things, so he still didn't like it.

"Since we are asked to go back to the countryside, the nephew and daughter-in-law should also go with us. In our place, the men work hard outside, and the daughter-in-law takes care of her parents-in-law at home."

"Uncle and aunt, you feel sorry for your nephew. It's hard for your nephew to go to his wife, so it's not easy to live separately. Besides, your nephew's wife also has a sister who is a noble concubine in the palace. If she tells the emperor A few words, we can't eat and walk around, look at what we have to eat and live in now, didn't she take out that one? It was because she didn't care about it before, so she didn't say anything, not afraid of uncle and Auntie joked that my salary of five taels of silver a month is not enough for our grandpa to eat in Beijing, if she gets annoyed, let's go drink the northwest wind?" Mr. Zhao said everything anyway.

"She married you, she is from our Zhao family, and her money is also from our Zhao family." The couple were not convinced.

"Uncle and aunt, even though I said this, I offended her on time. I can't even keep my official position. I can only go back to the countryside to farm in the future. How will I support the two elders? You must know that my father-in-law's family is in the inner city. I can't afford to offend the Duke Protector's Mansion, she doesn't care about it now, but Aunt An really said, find me a concubine, do you think she will let it go? The women in Beijing are not comparable to our country, if I'm in a hurry, she can do everything with Li, but by then your nephew and I will have nothing, do you think it's worth it?"

Uncle Zhao coaxed and lied, and finally told the old man that he was moved, and promised to go to the countryside. Anyway, my nephew has already promised, and this life will not change when he arrives in the countryside. There will still be wine and meat, and someone will serve him. Aunt Zhao It is also very good to think about going back to the countryside and subsidizing my own son.Uncle Zhao was very excited when he thought that he would become a rich man among those old people in the future.

"Nephew, you have to promise that we will not lose our money every month!" Aunt Zhao repeatedly ordered.

"Don't worry, I can't lose my uncle and aunt even if I don't eat or drink by myself."

Uncle Zhao got the two of them settled, changed into a suit of clothes, and went to pick up his wife at the Duke Huguo's Mansion. When he got there, Old Madam Zheng didn't say anything, but just told him to live a good life. Uncle Zhao could only bow his head and listen to the training. portion.

Seeing her husband's pitiful look, Xiao Ning's heart softened again, and she also forgot what her biological mother, Aunt Wang, said to teach her to be more aggressive in the future, and obediently followed Mrs. Zhao away.

Mrs. Zheng shook her head and said to Xiao Dingbang: "Three girls, if you still have such a temper in the future, you will probably suffer a lot. I thought it would be easier for a small family, but who would have thought that this small family would have such troubles? I Look at that, we must teach Jing Shu more skills as soon as possible in the future, lest she be bullied."

Xiao Dingbang said with a smile: "Where can Jingshu be bullied, I believe that she bullies others."

Mrs. Zheng also said: "Who says it's not? Jingshu has a very good opinion on the matter of the third girl, but in the future, we Jingshu will be reluctant to let her marry into a small family and be angry with these people. "

Xiao Dingbang listened to Mrs. Zheng's narration of Jingshu's words, smiled and stroked his beard, "It's not bad, but it's not enough time. It should be so that others can't find out that you are doing bad things, and others are grateful to you. It is a skill." (Your old man Too dark!)”
