Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 153 Breakfast
When everyone arrived at the main courtyard, Zheng Anyan was already waiting there. Seeing his mother, Zheng Anyan came out to greet her, and saluted her: "Greetings to mother." The old lady raised her hand to help Zheng Anyan .

Everyone saluted to Zheng Anyan, Zheng Anyan waved his hand to let everyone not be too polite, and went to Li Shi: "Cousin is here, cousin was too busy yesterday, so I didn't go to see mother, it is because cousin neglected cousin and Niece, don’t blame my cousin and niece!”

Mrs. Li saw Zheng Anyan talking to her, but she was still a little excited. She suppressed her emotions and said to Zheng Anyan: "What did my cousin say? My cousin is in the position of prime minister and works hard for the country every day. How can my cousin blame my cousin?" , besides, although you and I are cousins, in my cousin's heart, we have long been a family, since we are a family, why should we neglect it."

Li Ziyue heard her mother's words and said: "Yes, uncle, in Ziyue's heart, uncle has always been Ziyue's relative. So, mother and Ziyue will never blame uncle or anything."

Seeing what Li's mother and daughter said, Zheng Anyan only smiled and nodded: "That's good. Today's mother said that the family will have dinner together, so let's stop talking here, let's hurry to eat."

So everyone followed Zheng Anyan and the old lady into the hall together.A maroon red round wooden table stands in the middle of the hall, and beside it are eight round stools of the same color.

After Zheng Anyan and the old lady took their seats, everyone sat down one by one. Zheng Anyan and the old lady sat in the middle, Zheng Anyan sat on the right side, and the old lady sat on the left side. Therefore, on the left side of the old lady is Mrs. Li Mother and daughter, Zheng Anyan is on the right, and Zheng Anyan's mother is on the left, and his two daughters are on the right.

Although it is said that there is no food, no sleep, no words, but today, after all, there are Li's mother and daughter, and the old lady and Zheng Anyan will talk to them a word or two from time to time.

After all, Mrs. Li had a chance to talk to her cousin, so she naturally didn't want to let go of the topic of Xu Xian: "Cousin, cousin has been away for so many years, cousin really doesn't want to find another one? Cousin, you live in High position, how many daughters want to marry cousin, cousin might as well think about it."

The old lady was a little upset when she heard Li Shi suddenly say this to Zheng Anyan, she agreed to let herself see it before deciding whether to tell her son or not, now Li Shi just told her son about it.However, although the old lady was a little unhappy, the expression on her face didn't change much, she still had a smile on her face.

When Zheng Anyan heard this, she frowned, and thought of Jingning coming to her yesterday to tell her about the continuation of strings, she understood, no wonder Jingning said that thing yesterday, it turned out that it was Li's fault.

Although Zheng Anyan knew it in his heart, he still decided not to expose it, and pretended that he had never heard Jing Ning say this before, and was just about to speak, when Zheng Xiuning said: "What? Aunt, what are you doing? What do you mean? My father is well known for his infatuation with elder sister Jingning’s mother. For so many years, my father has not married anyone else. How can you, aunt?” Xiu Ning intentionally didn’t finish her sentence. She said too much, the old lady might would be unhappy, so she just clicked on it.

Zheng Anyan saw that Zheng Xiuning had said so much, and then said what he wanted to say just now: "Yes, Xiuning is right, I already have someone in my heart, and I don't want to marry her again. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who is greedy for momentary pleasure, if I marry someone else's daughter and don't have her in my heart, it won't do her any good."

After hearing Zheng Xiuning's words, Mrs. Li was already unhappy for a while, and she was even more unhappy when she heard Zheng Anyan say the same thing, so she raised the issue of her children: "My cousin is infatuated with his cousin, but Why isn't my cousin sister-in-law? How can my cousin sister-in-law feel at ease if my cousin has no successor?"

Zheng Anyan felt a little unhappy when she heard Li mentioning her deceased wife.Although it was reasonable to say this, she shouldn't bring out her dead wife and force her to remarry.Zheng Anyan didn't want to make his words too harsh, so he just said lightly: "That's what you said, but I just don't want to marry another woman. I also know that you, cousin, are doing it for my own good, but I only have your cousin in my heart .”

Seeing that the matter had already been discussed, the old lady felt a little displeased with Mrs. Li's self-assessment, but she still wanted to favor Mrs. Li, because she had the same idea as Mrs. Li and needed her son to marry another woman to provide for her family. Giving birth to a son will also prevent the son from having no successors in a hundred years.

So the old lady also opened her mouth: "Yan'er! Mother has always wanted you to marry another room, but she didn't say that before. Now that your cousin has also mentioned this matter, mother still hopes You can think about it carefully. The mother is old, and she has nothing to ask for except to be able to hold her grandson. The mother doesn’t want to wait until she can’t hold her grandson, but she still hasn’t got a grandson. The mother is just an ordinary person, like an old man in an ordinary family Same, I only hope that my children and grandchildren will be full."

When Zheng Anyan heard her mother's words, she fell into deep thought. Her mother had never told her her thoughts to herself before, and she thought her mother would not care about these things, but it turned out not to be. It was just that her mother was holding back and didn't say anything.He wondered if he was an unqualified son. His mother always wanted to have a grandson, but he only wanted to guard one person and didn't want to marry another woman.

Seeing what her father was thinking, Zheng Jingning couldn't help frowning, although she didn't care whether her father would marry someone else, and she also hoped that there was someone who could accompany her father for the rest of her life, but Li Shi desperately wanted his father to continue, fearing that he had no kind intentions.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Ziyue couldn't help but said: "Uncle, as the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is to have no offspring. Uncle has always been a filial person, and my aunt has always wanted a grandson. Why don't you think about it carefully?" Think about it, there are no other people around Uncle Left and Right."

Zheng Anyan looked up at Li Ziyue, and sighed: "Ziyue, you are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat first! If there is anything to say, we can talk about it after dinner."

Li Shi wanted to say something more after listening, Li Ziyue kicked her quietly under the table, so Li Shi didn't say anything anymore and ate honestly.

After finally finishing the meal, Mrs. Li hurriedly wanted to speak again. Zheng Anyan saw it, looked at the sky quickly, and spoke first: "It's getting late, I have to go to court. Cousin, Ziyue, I will trouble you stay at home with mother."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li swallowed what she wanted to say: "Yes, cousin, don't worry, we will take good care of my aunt."

Zheng Anyan told Jingning again that if Ziyue wanted to go out, she must accompany her, so as not to lose her master's demeanor. As for Xiuning, Zheng Anyan just asked her to go back to her room and think about her mistakes.
