Chapter 338: Another day when Zhao Houjing’s application for a living was rejected
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the happy Yang Chengsong and thought to herself that you won't thank me tomorrow when you get there. But she still smiled and agreed, watching Yang Chengsong hug the reluctant Zhao Houjing and leave.
After Zhao Lingmeng simply washed up, she immediately dealt with some matters in Yuanjing, and then sent a letter to her father and mother, mainly explaining that she had returned to Yuanjing, but she came back in a hurry this time and did not bring Zhao Houyang and Prince Ruihe with her, so she would go back early the next morning and would not have time to pay her respects to them.
Zhao Lingmeng finally returned to Yuanjing, but she still felt a little guilty for not going to see her parents.
Just as she finished dealing with these matters in the mansion, Zhao Houjing and Yang Chengjing came in together. They had just finished paying their respects.
Yang Chengsong said with great insight, "Aunt, where are you having supper? I'll go over and take a look first!"
Yang Chengsong did this because he was thinking that his cousin had just returned from studying abroad, and his aunt and cousin must have a lot to say to each other. If he were to stay here, some of the things he said would be difficult to say. It can only be said that the education at Prince Kang Qi's mansion was successful. Even for someone who planned to be a playboy, he had trained his eyesight.
Zhao Lingmeng told him the place and asked Qiuhua to take Yang Chengsong to have a look around.
Zhao Houjing waited for Yang Chengsong to leave, then he couldn't wait to rush over and hug Zhao Lingmeng. At this moment, he truly felt like he had returned alive. During this journey, he had worried several times that he would not be able to return.
The cruelty of war is unimaginable. After all, Zhao Houjing is just a teenager.
"When I left, my mother held my brother but not me."
Zhao Lingmeng listened to this guy's words and curled her lips in frustration. "That's someone who can't wait to see his good father. I won't take the blame for that."
When Zhao Lingmeng gets angry with someone, she won't even let her own son go.
Zhao Houjing wanted to cry, but after hearing his mother's words, he could only hold back his tears. He retreated from Zhao Lingmeng's arms in dismay.
"Mom, I'm in such a miserable state this time, can't you just give me some space?" Zhao Houjing believed that his mother must have known about his miserable situation along the way, and that he had no happiness at all.
"I'm still your mother! Why won't you give way to me?"
Zhao Lingmeng said as she found a casual position to sit down. It was her first time as a human being. No, even if it was her second time as a human being, she would not let her son do that.
Zhao Lingmeng thought to herself that she had worked so hard to raise him up, and now she still had to make him do what he wanted. What a dream!
"Okay! Then mother, did you find out a long time ago that I gave money to father?" Although Zhao Houjing asked a question, he knew in his heart that the result was certain.
"Yeah! I guess even the concierge knows about it!"
"mother"
Zhao Lingmeng patted her eldest son's shoulder speechlessly and said, "If you have something to say, then tell me. If not, then let's go have a midnight snack."
Zhao Houjing had wanted to tell his mother about all the stupid things he had done, but it seemed like she already knew everything. He could only touch his nose in frustration and said, "What I really wanted to say is, Mom, thank you for tolerating my nonsense. I guess some people still think I'm an ungrateful person!"
"It's okay! Actually, you have to bear the consequences, whether good or bad. I didn't give you any extra money, but I'm still very happy that you thanked me."
"Then mother, can I be a young man who relies on his parents for support?"
Zhao Houjing couldn't concentrate on his studies for the time being. This journey back had a great impact on him. Selling children was considered gentle. He really didn't know that not everyone could have whatever they wanted to eat, nor was everyone qualified to worry about whether they could pass the imperial examination.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care what this guy was thinking! He just had to find something to do. "Don't dream, you're not destined for that. Come with me tomorrow! You won't go to the academy for now. Go earn some money first."
When Zhao Houjing heard that he could earn money by following his mother, he immediately agreed. He finally understood the importance of money, so he was quite enthusiastic about making money. "Okay."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Houjing, who was so excited that he couldn't wait to pack up and leave. She could only look at him mischievously, "Then, dear Master Zhao, can we go for a midnight snack?"
Zhao Houjing got the answer he wanted and was in the mood to joke with his mother: "Princess Funing, please come this way!"
Zhao Lingmeng was also very cooperative and went to the dining area first. Zhao Houjing also followed Zhao Lingmeng in a good mood.
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng entered the door, she saw Yang Chengsong looking like he had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her and Zhao Houjing coming, his eyes lit up.
"Auntie, come quickly, these smell so delicious!"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Yang Chengsong who had been greedy for a long time, so she just nodded, sat down and started eating without any nonsense.
Seeing this, Zhao Houjing and Yang Chengsong immediately sat down and started eating. For a moment, everyone was focused on eating, and no one was in the mood to chat. Only Yang Chengsong would occasionally say "delicious".
Yang Chengsong felt that if he had known that the food at Aunt Funing's house was so delicious, he would have come earlier. Now that his grandfather wanted him to go back, he still didn't want to go back!
The three of them were quite capable, especially the two youngsters who looked like starving ghosts, and they could eat whatever they wanted. The table was full of dishes, but in the end, only one plate was left.
"Okay, you two should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow and go somewhere with me. It's most important to get enough rest."
Yang Chengsong was completely conquered by the food at Aunt Funing's house. As soon as Zhao Lingmeng said something, he quickly nodded in agreement. He was so well-behaved and obedient.
"Do you know where to go? Just nod your head, or I'll sell you out."
Zhao Houjing was very unhappy when he saw Yang Chengsong passing him by and pretending to be a good boy in front of his mother. In the past, he had two younger brothers and Yang Chengchen and his friends who were competing for his mother's happiness. Now that they were all gone, Yang Chengsong showed up.
He wanted to scream in his heart, "Oh my God, will this ever end?"
Yang Chengsong just wants to have something delicious to eat now. "The food in my aunt's house is so delicious, why would she sell me out?"
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care what the two boys were thinking. She was tired after a busy day. Anyway, she left with her people after she finished speaking. She had to get up early tomorrow! As she got older, she couldn't compare to the energy of these young people.
The next day, Yang Chengsong and others were already riding on their horses when they remembered to ask them where they were going so early.
Zhao Lingmeng smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we get there. Don't worry, Zhao Houyang and that kid Yang Chengchen will be there too."
Yang Chengsong was a little worried at first, but when he heard Yang Chengchen was there, his worries were gone. His status was far behind his.
