Not only did Qiao Xin not want to raise her grandchildren anymore, but she also let Xu take over the third son's marriage.
In her own words, the children of the first and second wives are already old enough to get married, and as a mother, she will sooner or later face such a situation.
Why not take the opportunity of the third brother’s marriage to study hard?
Xu smiled at Qiao Xin and said helplessly, "Mother, I have been away from Beijing for so many years, and I don't know the current rules in Beijing. My third brother's marriage is a big deal, and I'm afraid that if there is any mistake, it will make people laugh at me."
Qiao Xin patted her hands and comforted her warmly, "Everything has a first time. What are you afraid of? I'll find help for you. Nanny Qin and Steward Yu are both old people in the capital. If you don't understand, just ask them. I'm not as good as you in this regard!
In the future, you three brothers will not have much time to eat from the same pot! Second brother's wife, if you are busy, come and help your eldest sister-in-law! "
Qiao Xin didn't want to do it at all, and she threw the burden away without blushing or feeling nervous.
"I understand, mother!" Zhang responded with a smile.
"Mother, don't say that. We, your sons, will always be by your side." Qiao Yunxin said.
Qiao Xin waved her hands: "I can still walk and run. Why do I need you to wait by my side? While everyone is gathered here today, I will tell you a few things!"
These sons were destined to be handed over to the country. Forget about counting on them to support her in her old age. It would be great if they didn’t have to rely on her! She should make arrangements as soon as possible!
Qiao Xin promised to answer her eldest grandson's questions and never gave them a perfunctory answer.
The first thing here is to talk about the life stories of the three brothers, how they came together with the Qiao family, how they spent all these years together, and why they chose to make the matter public today?
Qiao Xin looked at his grandchildren and said, "Even though our family has reached the current status, the noble families in the capital can still bully you however they want. It shows that they don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously.
If Erlang had not been able to fight back, he would have been bullied and had to swallow his anger. Who will seek justice for us?
Even if your father came to our house one by one to ask for an explanation afterwards, he would still be in a bad position.
When our family first came to the capital, your father and his friends were still commoners, and your family had no power or influence. But every opponent we faced was a formidable force. If we sent you back to your family like this, you can imagine the situation you would face.
It's not that I'm selfish and I don't want to force you to stay by my side. I just hope that everyone can make decisions when they have the ability to protect themselves. Isn't that a lot more confident? ”
Qiao Sanlang was no longer silent at this time and gave a sharp analysis.
"Grandma, why do you have to go back? Why should you just do whatever they say? If you really want to find it, how can you not find it?
If my father's background is true, then he is the left prime minister of the current dynasty, in a high position of power and with many disciples. How easy would it be to find out something about him?
Besides, our family has not been completely invisible in Beijing in the past few years. Wouldn’t it be easy for them to investigate our past?
There is only one reason why they came here only now, that is, Dad and us have become valuable to him. That is why those people condescended to give us a look! But why? "
Qiao Erlang was not happy either.
"That's right. I've been the second oldest in Qiao's family forever. My third brother is the legitimate son of my second uncle. If I go back to recognize him, I don't know what rank he would have in the family. If good things happen, it will be my third brother's turn. But if bad things happen, he will be the first to take the blame. How could he be as free as he is now?
I'm not crazy. There are always some stubborn people in these families who take advantage of their age and status. When the time comes, the clan elders, grandparents and the like will use filial piety and rules to pressure me. Am I just asking for trouble?
There are so many people who look alike in this world, why should we take what they say as the truth?"
When Qiao Erlang said this, he excitedly shouted to Qiao Yunxin: Dad, I've already promised that I'll recognize you. I would rather not have you as my dad, I want to live with grandma!
Ouch, mother, why did you hit me?"
Xu put down her hand and said something that shocked everyone.
"If your father wants to go back, he can go back by himself. I will divorce him and live with your grandma!"
Qiao Erlang’s eyes widened. His mother was really tough, but he liked her!
“Hehehe, I’d rather have a beggar mother than a government official father. When the time comes, my elder brother, elder sister, and second sister will follow you!”
"Go, stop talking nonsense!"
Xu pinched her youngest son, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her.
Qiao Yunxin's face turned green. What did he say? Why didn't his wife and children trust him at all? He was still a general after all. How could he change his ways so easily?
You look down on him too much, don't you?
Why is he replying? He is looking for a bunch of ancestors to point fingers at him. Is he crazy?
As for that title, it would be so impressive if he earned it himself. If he can't do it, doesn't he still have Dalang?
"When did I say I was leaving? Stop giving me stupid ideas! If he didn't have a son, I might still recognize him, but he doesn't need a son now, so why should I join in the fun?"
Qiao Yunting cheered on the side: "Brother, if you go back, you are the eldest son, and the title of Marquis's Mansion will belong to you!"
"Well, you, the third brother, aren't you? Why don't you want it?"
Qiao Yunting sneered: "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I will not wade into muddy water if I can earn my own way."
Compared with Dingbian Hou Mansion, Zhou Mansion is a group of crazy people.
What's the point of fighting with a bunch of lunatics for the leftovers left by those old guys? His Zhou family wanted to raise Gu, so they just harmed those people in the mansion.
Don’t get close to me!
Qiao Xin said: "You decide what to do, I won't get involved. I am speaking out openly today to help my daughter-in-law and grandchildren resolve their doubts!
In the future, when you meet someone from the other family, you should be more cautious, so as not to be tricked by them without knowing why. "
Qiao Xin looked at her granddaughters and said, "There are also some older maids coming out of the palace this time. They have seen a lot of ways to harm people in the inner court. I will assign two to each of you.
You guys have been raised too well by our family. The struggle for power and intrigue in the backyard of this mansion with so many wives and concubines is no less than on the battlefield. We can choose not to do certain things, but we can't be ignorant.
One thing you must remember is that you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
You can listen to other people's suggestions or not, but as for whether this person can be used and how to use it, it is up to you to identify it!
And Dalang, you too, are all of you at the age of getting married. If you encounter someone who wants to sell herself to bury her father, pledges her love to you, or throws herself into your arms and begs for your pity, stay away from them."
"Got it, grandma!"
"Mother, aren't there too many people serving the child?"
