Chapter 203 Zhao Lingmeng teases the child
Zhao Ling dreamed that his mother had agreed, so he readily escorted his father and mother to the carriage. He also sent a few boxes of snacks to them, fearing they would be hungry on the way.
After Zhao Lingmeng sent her father and mother off, she felt like she was in no hurry to go back, so she took her group for a leisurely stroll in the fields.
In her previous life, she had never been exposed to these things. Her biggest worry at that time was which school to apply to and what job to do in the future. Unfortunately, in the end, she learned a lot of skills but had no place to use them.
But now, looking at the crops in the fields, she also felt a sense of hope. If there was a good harvest this year, the food could feed many more people. Now she understood all this, the difficulties of farming, and the importance of food.
"The crops are growing so well this year!" Chunshui, who was standing next to her, also sighed. She came from a poor family and was sold because her family had no food.
She didn't hate her parents, did she? There was a flood at the time, and everyone had nothing to eat. If she hadn't been sold, she would have starved to death! No, her fate might have been even more horrific. Sometimes, when it comes to survival, everything is a catastrophe.
Zhao Lingmeng also agreed with Chunshui's words. If nothing unexpected happened, this year would be a good year with a bumper harvest.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't walk around for long. She just looked around aimlessly. She thought the three children would be back from school soon, so she took them back.
As soon as she reached the gate of the yard, she saw Zhao Houjing and his two brothers running out.
"You came to pick me up, how nice of you!" Zhao Lingmeng was still very happy.
"Um... didn't they say that grandpa and grandma passed away?"
As soon as Zhao Houming said this, Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houyang were impressed by this guy with low emotional intelligence.
“Second brother!”
"Second brother!"
"Oh, what are you two afraid of? Mom won't mind this. Of course, I still love you the most." Zhao Houming still has a desire to survive, but it's not much.
Zhao Lingmeng snorted proudly, and immediately went over childishly, holding Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houyang's hands, and walked inside. At this moment, she didn't care about the second guy.
Zhao Houming could only touch his head awkwardly and muttered softly: "No wonder the teacher said that only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
Zhao Houming felt that no matter what he said or how much he quarreled, he still had to chase after her: "Mom, big brother, third brother, you guys wait for me too!"
"clown!"
I can only say that they are worthy of being mother and son. Zhao Lingmeng also complained about Zhao Houming without hesitation.
"Mom, grandpa and the others really didn't come?"
Old Marquis Zhao and the old lady had taken care of the three of them for the past few years. This time, Old Marquis Zhao and his wife were out, and the three brothers hadn't seen them for a long time and missed them a lot.
So Zhao Houjing continued to ask, mainly because he felt that no one would dare to spread lies!
"They returned to Yuanjing. They were supposed to wait for you three brothers, but the emperor summoned your grandfather, so they went back first. We'll be able to see them when we get back."
Zhao Lingmeng had only been teasing Zhao Houming; there was no way she could possibly get angry about something like that. So when she saw the second-in-command, Zhao Houming, catching up, she explained the reason in detail.
Because Zhao Lingmeng also noticed that after these years of getting along, the one who was closest to his father and mother was the second son, Zhao Houming. The eldest son, Zhao Houjing, and the third son, Zhao Houyang, were more respectful than close to the two elders.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't ask why. After all, everyone expressed love differently, and she couldn't expect everyone to be the same. She thought respect was fine.
"Mom, how long will we have to live on the farm?" Zhao Houming missed the life in Yuanjing a little.
"Let's stay a few more months! There's nothing important to do back in Yuanjing anyway. And summer is coming, and Yuanjing is scorching hot. How about we wait until it cools down before going back?"
"Okay!" Zhao Houming and the other three agreed in unison. They would just stay wherever their mother was.
Only Zhao Houyang glanced at his mother thoughtfully, then looked away. But no one would pay attention to the look of a little brat, right?
Lord Zhao sent Wei back to Wuhou Mansion before entering the palace with the eunuchs.
The eunuch beside him cooperated very well throughout the whole process and had no intention of urging the old Marquis Zhao.
Are you kidding? This is the Emperor's favorite, a long-standing favorite. He's already been given a title, and the Emperor sent me to invite him into the palace the moment he returned. He's not someone a rootless person like me can afford to offend.
Along the way, Lord Zhao did not delay and followed the eunuch directly into the palace.
The emperor in the palace had been waiting for him for a long time. The main reason was that the timing of Lord Zhao's return was a bit strange, and emperors are always a bit suspicious.
As soon as Lord Zhao entered, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you. Is your Majesty in good health recently?"
The emperor immediately came down and helped old Marquis Zhao up, "Changyou, it's been so long since we last met, and you're feeling distant from me!"
Old Marquis Zhao didn't dare to trouble the emperor to help him, and immediately stood up on his own. "Hahaha, etiquette cannot be abolished! And I really care about the emperor."
"It's been a while since I played chess with Changyou. Let's play two games together!"
"I obey your command!" Old Marquis Zhao agreed readily as before, but he still followed the etiquette.
So the emperor and Lord Zhao immediately moved to the chess table.
In the first round, Lord Zhao gave up the game, so the Emperor won. In the past, the Emperor usually couldn't beat Lord Zhao.
The emperor threw the chess piece on the chessboard in disappointment, and said with a bit of boredom: "Changyou, you have changed after going out for a while!"
"No! This is my apology. I arrived late and only entered the palace after sending my wife back to the Marquis' Mansion. Does the emperor like this apology?"
The emperor felt relieved when he heard Changyou say this, and his interest in playing chess returned: "Shall we play a few more games?"
The emperor said this as he picked up the chess piece he had just dropped.
"Then Your Majesty, please be careful. I must be serious! After all, if I win, I will still be rich, right? Your Majesty, please allow me to save some private money."
Old Lord Zhao still uses the same old tricks: he can play chess with you, but he wants to gamble.
"You haven't won enough from me, have you? You don't have any money to spend?"
The emperor was very surprised by this. The Wu'an Marquisate was founded through war, and their ancestors had accumulated a lot of wealth. Why did this guy always look like he was going to have to eat dirt for his next meal?
"I am not the head of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion now, so it's not easy for me to ask my son or daughter-in-law for money! I gave all the savings I had in the past to Meng'er when she got into trouble a few years ago!" Old Marquis Zhao said this with such righteousness!
