Chapter 104: Difficult Father and Difficult Son
Frightened, Chen was in a bad mood and rushed back to Jiang's house without stopping.
Jiang Huaiqing shuddered after hearing the steward's report and said, "Uncle Jiang, you haven't told my mother about my father being drunk, right?"
This matter must be kept secret, otherwise Dad Jiang Fulu will be in trouble and the whole family will be implicated.
Manager Jiang bowed his head and said respectfully, "Not yet. Second Young Master, it seems that Madam is not in a good mood. If we conceal it..."
"Then we must conceal it even more."
Jiang Huaiqing quickly hid the feather duster, and before he could take a breath, Chen had already entered the side hall.
There was a bright candlelight in the room.
Chen took a sip of her soothing tea, raised her eyelids to glance at Jiang Huaiqing, and asked casually, "Where's your father?"
"Dad is in the study and has fallen asleep."
Jiang Huaiqing rolled his eyes and changed the subject, asking, "Didn't you take my little sister to Huguo Temple to stay for two days? Why did you suddenly rush back home at night?"
At night, the inner city was under curfew and my mother suddenly came back. It was really scary.
There are only a few hours left until dawn, so we might as well get away with it first.
Jiang Huaiqing was distracted and didn't notice the look the maid gave him.
Chen put down the teacup with a thud and sneered, "I am a worrier by nature. I worry about the chaos at home when I am not at home for a day."
Jiang Huaiqing agreed in his heart and forced a smile, saying, "The whole house depends on mother to run it. You've worked hard, why don't you rest early?"
Chen stood up after hearing this and said softly, "Okay, mother will go to the study to see your father first."
"Mom, isn't it a bad idea to disturb Dad at this time?"
Jiang Huaiqing's eyelids jumped in shock and he immediately stood up to stop it.
Realizing that he was being too deliberate, Jiang Huaiqing explained, "Mom, you look tired, don't worry about Dad."
Jiang Fulu was locked in the study and handed over to the servants in the mansion for control.
Although everything is calm at the moment, Jiang Huaiqing is still nervous, fearing that his father will fail at the critical moment.
Before he could finish his words, voices were heard coming from the door.
Manager Jiang rubbed his brows and said, "Master, the mistress has returned home. You should stay out of the spotlight for now, otherwise you won't be able to hide the fact that you're drunk."
Jiang Fulu was drunk and said in a high voice: "I am the head of the family, am I still afraid of Chen?"
Jiang Fulu is in a high position of power and has a large number of subordinates. If word gets out that he is afraid of his wife, where will he save his face?
"Manager Jiang, quickly get me some wine!"
Jiang Fulu just felt happy. Seeing the big white goose in the front yard, he went forward and hugged it and sang: "Wash the goose and cut the meat into pieces. Heat the oil in the pan and fry the green onions and ginger. Hey yo hey yo..."
Chen didn't rush out immediately, but looked at Jiang Huaiqing and said calmly: "Second brother, do you know your mistake?"
Oops, it’s exposed!
Jiang Huaiqing wanted to help Jiang Fulu cover up, but his father was not up to the task. Now that disaster was imminent, Jiang Huaiqing touched his nose guiltily and begged for mercy: "Mother, I didn't lie on purpose, I was coerced by my father."
Chen did not show any sign of anger, and said in a friendly manner: "So, you have violated the new rules of the Jiang family."
"Mom, when did the Jiang family add new house rules? How come my son doesn't know about it?"
Breaking the family rules is no small matter and the offender will inevitably be beaten.
Jiang Huaiqing was terrified and unsure of his mother Chen's attitude.
Chen smiled, especially when she saw the empty vase in the corner. She froze for a moment and said word by word, "Just added. Now you know."
Jiang Huaiqing thought that if he hid the feather duster, she would be powerless?
Chen rushed to the utility room, found a large broom, and launched a fierce attack on Jiang Huaiqing.
Chen swung the broom, leaving an afterimage as easily as autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
"Dad, save your son!"
Jiang Huaiqing had a sudden inspiration and hid behind Jiang Fulu.
Facing the sudden broom, Jiang Fulu sobered up and broke out in a cold sweat. He grabbed Jiang Huaiqing from behind and brought him to Chen, saying flatteringly, "Madam, your husband has caught your rebellious son!"
Jiang Huaiqing who was beaten: "..."
According to the Zhao family next door, there was a commotion at the Jiang residence all night.
Jiang Fulu twisted his waist and was carried to the morning court by the servants of the mansion.
Jiang Yuzhu was worried about her father after hearing the news, so she brought the imperial medicinal wine from Xie's house to Jiang's house.
It was dinner time and there was a large table full of delicious dishes.
Amid the exquisite cuisine, a plate of scrambled eggs seems extremely simple.
Jiang Huaiqing brought the scrambled eggs to Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Little sister, try it. I made this myself!"
Jiang Huaiqing went into the kitchen for the first time ever, drove all the cooks out, and tinkered with the food secretly.
"It tastes good, but second brother, why did you think of cooking?"
Jiang Yuzhu thought carefully and realized that apart from the Dragon Boat Festival, there were no important events recently.
"Little sister, second brother's cooking is not the point, this is the egg that Hong Hong laid!"
Honghong is a kung fu goose, and the eggs she lays are very nutritious!
Jiang Huaiqing showed a rare gentle look on his face. He had already asked the cook and found out that Honghong had laid eggs last night and today, so she was a very diligent goose.
There will be no shortage of goose eggs in the mansion from now on, and Jiang Huaiqing will cook from time to time.
Chen paused holding the chopsticks: "Honghong won't lay eggs for the time being."
When Jiang Huaiqing heard this, he said unhappily, "Mom, how did you know?"
Chen picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and urged Jiang Huaiqing: "Eat quickly and shut your mouth!"
Of course she knew that Jiang Fulu insisted on eating stewed goose, so the cook slaughtered the goose that Jiang Huaiqing brought back last night.
In order to complete the task, this time I replaced it with a gander of similar size.
Of course, her name is still Honghong, but she is not the same Honghong as before.
After dinner, Jiang Fulu was carried back home by servants. He looked a little solemn.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu comforted him, "Dad, drinking less is good for your health. Mom is not being unreasonable, she is doing this for your own good."
Jiang Fulu snorted coldly and said, "Dad never expected that he would be betrayed by Yuanhe!"
Last night, Jiang Fulu and Jiang Huaiqing, both father and son, were given a good beating by Chen.
As victims of the same crime, the two found out after inquiring that the culprit was actually Xie Zhao.
Jiang Fulu really wanted to break up with his son-in-law immediately, but the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching and the dragon boat race still depended on the efforts of his son-in-law, so he chose to endure and wait to settle the score.
At the morning court today, Jiang Fulu was mocked by Wei Shoufu: "Old dog Wei thought his father couldn't get along with anyone, so he pretended to twist his waist to avoid the dragon boat race, humph!"
Instigated by Prime Minister Wei, Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu both suspected that Jiang Fulu was faking illness, which he found difficult to accept and felt insulted.
"How can this be possible? How can Dad be such a shameless person?"
Jiang Fulu explained for a long time, but his men still didn't believe him. After all, on the surface, the dragon boat racing team had not yet been gathered.
Jiang Yuzhu comforted him, "Dad, isn't this just right? Wei Shoufu is even more convinced that you are deserting the battlefield. When the time comes, we will set a trap and Wei Shoufu will definitely take the bait."
Anyway, it's not our family that is embarrassed.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Fulu could also take advantage of the situation, alienate Wei Shoufu's team, and recruit some people.
His daughter spoke to his heart, and Jiang Fulu smiled: "Dad has seen the imperial physician, and the imperial physician does not recommend that Dad participate in the dragon boat race. Otherwise, I will personally slap Wei Laogou in the face. Seeing him so angry that he vomited blood and there was nothing he could do, I am happier than Dad drinking osmanthus wine!"
