Second-hand lady

Chapter 147

Not long after returning to the capital, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the adults have to be busy again, and there are frequent exchanges of etiquette. The adults are too busy to take care of the three children. As the "big brother", Wen Yanping automatically took over the responsibility of taking care of the younger siblings.And the way he takes care of his younger siblings is to take the three children out to let the air out, and by the way, he gets to know the capital where they live.

So the children are eager to celebrate the festival every day for a while, and the adults are too busy to talk to them every day.

Until the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the palace had a holiday, Wen Liang took his wife and children back to Zhen Guogong's mansion to accompany the old man for the holiday.

Ever since they were welcomed into the Duke of Zhen's mansion by the housekeeper, the three children watched their father suddenly suppress all the expressions on his face, showing a cold and calm expression, as if he was dealing with strangers outside, even in the face of the stern-faced Grandpa, he will never twitch the corners of his mouth too much.

Although the children can see such a father every time they go back to their grandpa's house, they don't like it every time, so they are not so lively at the grandpa's house, and stick to their parents tightly, no matter how grandpa tempts them, they just Lifting his face and smiling, he buried his small body in the arms of his parents.

Zhen Guogong's old face was very stiff, and then he glared at the unfilial son, thinking that the unfilial son must have said something that should not be said in front of his grandchildren, which made the grandchildren not willing to get close to him.

It was the children's uncle and several uncles who came to tease them, and even got a sweet kiss from Axue. This kind of differential treatment made Lao Zhen Guogong even more heartbroken.But he had a stern face, with an incomparably rigid expression, and no one could see his sadness.

The whole family sits in the side hall, eating, drinking and chatting. The children are all sitting still, even if they are bored, they still haven't left their parents' side.Xiao Guigui nestled in Rucui's arms, Axue sat in Wen Liang's arms, her two short legs were dangling in the air, her white and tender paws were gnawing on peanuts, she sat next to her father, With his hands on his knees, Wen Yanping leaned against Miss Rucui in a calm manner.

The whole family sat together intimately, which made some sisters-in-law in Zhen Guogong's mansion envious.Especially compared to them, there are no aunts and concubines, no concubines and concubines in the middle, which makes them even more envious.

The children's little uncle Wen Ce approached A Xue, and asked with a smile: "Chang Chang, A Xue, there are a lot of chrysanthemums blooming in the garden outside, do you want to take your sister to see the flowers?" Because the three children did not go out Playing around, the other children were also detained by his mother, but Wen Ce was wronged, and Wen Ce had to come forward to lure the children out.

Hearing this, both A Xue and Chang Chang glanced at Duke Zhen.

Duke Zhen was suddenly agitated, and he thought with relief that his grandchildren still turned to him, seeing if they wanted to go out and play, it was up to them to make up their own minds.With a calm face at the moment, he said, "Let's go and play, don't go too far."

The kid didn't move, with a long, stern face, and didn't speak. Although he looked gentle, but his expression was very similar to the current Duke of Zhen, he couldn't help but feel satisfied, thinking comfortingly, it doesn't matter if his son is disobedient , He also has a grandson who looks like him, and it will be good to leave the position of Lord Zhen Guo to the eldest grandson in the future.

A Xue glanced at her grandfather again, and answered her little uncle crisply, "I don't want to play, I want to stay with Daddy and protect Daddy~"

The originally lively side hall became quiet because of the children's words, and everyone couldn't help but look at the children.

Wen Ce was a little confused, "Protect the third brother? Why? The third brother is very good."

Chang Chang looked at him with a straight face, pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa will quarrel with Daddy, it's not good for your health."

Duke Zhen was immediately moved. Sure enough, his grandson was worried that he was old, and arguing with his unfilial son would be bad for his health.

A Xue continued: "Grandpa is getting old, he has a bad temper and can beat people, that's not good."

"..."

Guigui nestled in Miss Rucui's arms a little uneasily, the sudden stagnation of the atmosphere made her uneasy, but she didn't say anything, she just looked timidly at the stern-faced Duke Zhen, and then looked at the expression on his face Her father, who was so indifferent that she couldn't see her, was different from how she felt at home, which made her dislike going back to her grandpa's house.

No wonder the triplets have always been clinging to their parents when they returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion since they became sensible. Before, they thought that children were clinging to others, but now it seems that there is a reason for it.Everyone in Zhen Guogong's mansion suddenly realized, especially after seeing the father and son of Zhen Guogong and Wen Liang fighting each other these years, they understood the children's thoughts.

Hearing the children's words, Wen Liang's expression was a bit dumbfounded, and he glanced at Wen Yanping, the little girl was innocently playing with the jade pendant in her hand, and had no time to talk to him.Knowing that the children's reaction was definitely taught by the little girl, I felt very warm in my heart, patted the heads of the little guys, and let them play with peace of mind.

Zhen Guogong was already stiff, looking at the unfilial son staring, he felt a little sad, he has been too lazy to care about the unfilial son for many years, only grandson!And if he didn't really care, would he scold or beat people?The little grandchildren are definitely taught badly by the unfilial sons!

Probably seeing that Mr. Zhen’s expression was wrong, Mrs. Mrs. Zhen asked the eldest daughter-in-law to leave with several other wives. Only Mr. and Mrs. Zhen, eldest son Wen Yun, fourth son Wen An and Wen Liang were left at the scene. And Wen Yanping.

Rucui glanced at Mrs. Zhen Guogong and smiled at her. It seemed that after the birth of the triplets, Mrs. Zhen Guogong suddenly realized why she was too lazy to pay attention to her, and she stopped making noise when they met, and ignored her directly, although she was a little regretful , but it would be better not to quarrel.

"Unfilial son! Unfilial son! Look at what Jiang Yancheng and Yanxi have taught them to be like?" Zhen Guogong pointed at his son and cursed.

Wen Liang took a sip of tea calmly and said, "I think it's pretty good."

"..."

Unsurprisingly, the father and son quarreled again. No, it should be said that Lord Zhen was roaring with anger, while Wen Liang always drank tea calmly. Occasionally, an understatement could arouse the old man's anger more than roaring.Everyone is used to it, anyway, the more the old man scolds, the tougher his body becomes, and no one cares about how noisy they are, and it's beyond their control.

However, the arguing and arguing involved the matters of the grandchildren, such as——

"You righteous daughter, you have nothing to do with Jili, and you are about to pass the age. Shouldn't you marry someone? If outsiders know her identity, maybe they will think of our Zhen Guogong's mansion, and even a righteous daughter has not been taught well. , you didn’t even mess with her in life, what are you thinking in your heart? You can’t let her live like this for a lifetime..."

Wen Yanping was horrified when he heard it, and couldn't help but shouted: "Grandpa!"

Lord Zhen's voice was stuck in his throat, he glared at her, and said, "Don't interrupt the children when adults talk, it's immature."

Wen Yanping felt aggrieved, looked at Wen Liang and Ru Cui, Wen Liang didn't respond, but Ru Cui held her hand and signaled her not to speak.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong silently passed a cup of tea to her husband, and then sat beside her and watched indifferently.

"I didn't care about you when you wanted to adopt a adopted daughter before. Now that the adopted daughter has reached her age, it's time to take care of her. I can't let her dress like a man for the rest of her life. How decent is it?" Zhen Guo asked his son. , Seeing that he didn't speak up for himself for the first time, he felt slightly happy, and his voice became louder again, "The girl's parents have grown up, so if she doesn't get married, will she be an aunt? People think that our family didn't educate girls well.... "

Wen Yanping was so angry and aggrieved by the scolding that his eyes were a little red, but he could only hold his breath and dared not speak out to refute.This is not home, if she interrupts her elders casually again, she will really be accused of not teaching her well by her parents.

Seeing that the little girl's eyes were red with grievances, but she endured it for them alone, Wen Liang also felt distressed, and when she saw that the fire was almost over, Fang interrupted her father's words: "Father, I have my own opinion on this matter, you don't have to. said."

Lord Zhen choked again, and wanted to swear again, but was quickly changed by his son in a few words.

It wasn't until they left the side hall and the family rested in the Xiuhua courtyard that Rucui hugged the little girl who had been depressed all this time, and asked softly, "Are you still wronged?"

Wen Yanping glanced at her, then at Wen Liang, and said in a muffled voice, "Why do girls have to marry?"

Miss Rucui nodded understandingly and said: "That's right, why do you have to marry someone? I think I originally wanted to be with Su Wangfei for the rest of my life. It's so cool to have her protect the popular and spicy food."

Wen Liang was almost choked to death by her, a little annoyed: "Aren't you a hot drinker now?"

Seeing that he was annoyed, Miss Rucui was not afraid, she smiled and said: "Of course, Mrs. Wen is very good. After marrying you, there will be someone to accompany you. Whether you are happy or not, you will have someone to talk to. Although alone Comfortable, but two people are also very good together, I have never regretted marrying you."

The flattering made Mr. Wen feel extremely comfortable. Wen Liang looked at the little girl with a smile, continued the topic just now, and gave a very popular answer to the little girl who was looking at him eagerly: "Girls are not as good as men. Good to have something to rely on."

"I'm very good, and I can live on my own without relying on me." Wen Yanping crushed a teacup to show that he was tough.
