Chapter 319 I thought I had a chance to become my grandson-in-law
After finishing the business, Feng Shaoqing said, "My cousin... I have already mentioned this to my mother. He will not be in the mahjong parlor in the future." When
he went back to tell his mother about this yesterday, his mother's reaction was indeed very big.
She immediately asked him to bring that cousin back, saying that he would suffer in prison and his cousin would not be able to bear it. She also said that he was his cousin and the family should not care so much. She said that letting his cousin stay in the mahjong parlor would not cause any losses, and the monthly salary was all given by her from her own private money.
She also said that he sent his own cousin to prison for an outsider, and kept complaining. He didn't know his mother was such a... well, person. In the past, he only thought that she was protecting her family and that she was soft-hearted. Now he realized that things were not that simple.
Xu Muhua didn't take that cousin from yesterday seriously. Not to mention that she had already let Wu'er beat him up, even if there was no one, it would be very easy for her to vent her anger. There was no need to wait for others to help her get justice.
Besides, this was the Feng family's business, and it was not appropriate for her, an outsider, to say too much.
"I believe that Brother Feng is a reasonable person."
Feng Shaoqing smiled bitterly and said honestly: "I'm not worried that you doubt my ability and won't look for me for good things in the future?"
Like the glass this time.
He believed that even without him, she could still find someone and get things done. She is not the kind of lady who gives up when she encounters a little difficulty, or who does not have the courage to try.
He guessed that she would solve the difficulties when she encountered them, and would try her best to solve them if she could not solve them for the time being, and would never give up easily. Moreover, she is very courageous. Many things require great courage before they are done. Otherwise, how can there be a possibility of success without the courage to support them?
Xu Muhua was a little surprised that he would say it so bluntly, but soon smiled and said, "If I doubted Brother Feng's ability, then I would not have looked for you, Brother Yuan, and Brother Liang at the beginning."
Feng Shaoqing snorted, "Forget about those two!"
Hearing his words of disdain, Xu Muhua covered her lips and giggled.
It is a loss, but a good relationship is really good.
I don't know what their final endings are in the book.
In fact, the reason why she looked for Feng Shaoqing was because in the book, in the end, the Chengguo Mansion was defeated. When her eldest brother was in the most difficult time, only Feng Shaoqing dared to take the risk to plead for his eldest brother and the Chengguo Mansion.
In the end, he was implicated because of this matter. A good nobleman in the capital was demoted to a remote and small place as a county magistrate, and was demoted several levels in a row.
As for Yuan An and Liang Yichao, the book didn't mention them much, but she could guess the reason.
The Yuan family and the Liang family are not as good as the Feng family. The two of them have always had no ambitions and just lived a muddled life. When something happened to the eldest brother, the two of them naturally couldn't do anything. Even if she wanted to plead for mercy, I'm afraid it would be impossible.
Because of this, she had a very good impression of her eldest brother's friends.
Of course, she would not rely too much on the description in the book, but would observe and feel it herself.
After all, as an outsider, if she was unwilling to follow the storyline, it would definitely bring about a lot of chain reactions. Who knows if there would be any difference between what is written in the book and reality?
After finishing the business, Feng Shaoqing proposed to pay a visit to the old lady. Xu Muhua certainly would not refuse, and took him to the yard where the old lady lived. The old lady was very happy to have the younger generation come to visit.
As an old person, she likes to be lively when she is old.
"I remember you. You used to come here often when A Rui was still in the capital. Oh, there were two others with you, right? What were their names?"
The old lady forgot their names.
"One was Yuan An, and the other was Liang Yichao."
"Yes, yes, that's their name! At that time, you often came to the mansion to look for A Rui. It was so lively!"
the old lady sighed.
Unlike now, when the children grow up, they fly away!
"If you don't find us annoying, we will come here often when we are free in the future."
The old lady laughed at what Feng Shaoqing said. "I hope you come here often. How can I find you annoying? I am just afraid that you are all young people and you can't sit still here with an old woman like me!"
After that, she pointed at Xu Muhua and said, "Look at this one, he is nowhere to be seen every day!"
Xu Muhua's eyes widened and he shouted unwillingly, "Oh, grandma, how can you say this to me in front of Brother Feng? It's so embarrassing!"
"Are you still afraid of losing face?"
Xu Muhua hesitated, "Of course, I am a girl. I also want to save face!"
The old lady laughed and scolded: "You should let your mother come to see you like this now. Now you feel that you want to save face. Why didn't you tell her when you were running outside all day? Look at which girl is like you!"
Feng Shaoqing said: "Sister Muhua is good like this, healthy and lively, and you look full of vitality and pleasing to the eye. Unlike my cousin who lived in my house before, she stayed in the house all day and was bored."
That's why she has so many bad thoughts! If she was like sister Muhua, she would focus on serious things, and she would have more things to do, and naturally she would have fewer bad thoughts.
Why do the women in the back house always like to be jealous and use all kinds of means to make people restless? In his opinion, they are just idle!
Especially for wealthy families, they don't have to worry about food, clothing, and servants to take care of them. They don't have to worry about anything, so they naturally think about this and that.
Even though the customs of Dayong are relatively open, women can't work outside like men.
The old lady said some words of disdain, but she definitely didn't think so in her heart. She didn't want to hear others say bad things about her granddaughter.
So now that Feng Shaoqing said this, she didn't say anything to Xu Muhua anymore, and the smile on her face became deeper, obviously agreeing with his words.
Xu Muhua sighed loudly on purpose: "Hey, since grandma said so, I have to stay at home and accompany grandma obediently."
"I want to see how long you can be obedient!"
"Hmph, then grandma will just have to wait and see!"
With Xu Muhua and Feng Shaoqing around, the two of them made the old lady laugh continuously.
Feng Shaoqing sat for half an hour before he stood up and said goodbye.
After the servants sent him out, the old lady suddenly asked in a low voice: "Muhua girl, are you and Shaoqing..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her two index fingers and slowly put them together, her eyes were ambiguous, like an old naughty child.
Xu Muhua: "..."
Old lady, your idea is very dangerous and ridiculous!
"Grandma, what are you thinking, in my heart, Brother Feng is the same as my eldest brother! Xu Rui is my biological eldest brother, and Brother Feng is my illegitimate eldest brother! Once an eldest brother, always an eldest brother!"
Seeing that she said it in a decisive tone, the old lady couldn't help but feel disappointed.
She was still thinking that it would be great if Shaoqing became her grandson-in-law.
Alas, it seems there is no hope.
