When Xu opened her eyes, she saw Qiao Xin sitting in front of her.
Seeing her mother-in-law's concerned eyes, her nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"mother!"
Qiao Xin coaxed her daughter-in-law in the same tone as she coaxed a child.
"I'm here, why are you crying? You're almost a grandmother, and you don't want to be laughed at by the children.
Did you listen to the doctor's words? I'm almost sixty years old. It's normal for me to have some minor illnesses and disasters!"
Xu's eyes were hot and she could no longer control her emotions. She turned away to show that she didn't want to listen.
The first time I threw a tantrum at Qiao Xin!
Qiao Xin was at a loss.
She doesn't know how to coax people, and the boss is not around, so she can only look to Erlang and his wife for help!
Erlang, this little bastard, usually coaxes his mother. But when he received the request for help from his grandmother, he took over the responsibility and coaxed Xu into losing her temper with just a few words!
During the meal, Xu insisted on fulfilling her filial duty as a daughter-in-law. She stood beside Qiao Xin and served the dishes very attentively.
On the contrary, Qiao Xin felt uncomfortable all over when she saw the food sticking out of the bowl.
She just wasn't destined to enjoy being served by others!
Qiao Xin quickly stopped her.
"Big Boss's wife, please sit down quickly and stop busying yourself. Can I do it myself?
You make it seem like there will be no tomorrow after today!
Look at you, the children can't even eat!"
Xu paused holding the chopsticks, looked around, and then noticed that the children were all staring at her.
She couldn't tell what happened just now, there was only one thought in her mind.
Offer all the delicious food and drinks to your mother-in-law, as long as she is well!
To be honest, in this family, her mother-in-law is her biggest supporter. Without her mother-in-law, she wouldn't be where she is today!
She was not afraid when Erlang was fighting with others in the capital, and she was not too worried about her husband and eldest son going to the battlefield. But when something happened to her mother-in-law, she was really scared!
Qiao Xin took Xu's hand and asked her to sit down.
"In one's lifetime, everyone will experience birth, aging, illness and death. I know my own body well, and this is an aging disease, which is a very normal phenomenon.
Don't scare yourself, or you might get sick.
Compared to some people, I am luckier than most people as I have lived to this day and my health has only just started to show signs of problems.
Are you going to ignore me after today and tomorrow?"
"No, mother, how could your wife ignore you?"
"That's right. We will stay in Beijing from now on and won't go anywhere else. We will have plenty of time to spend together. There's a lot of time to come, right?"
"Well, I listen to my mother!"
.......
Qiao Erlang looked at his wife frequently. Today, not only his mother was not right, but his wife was not right either.
The journey back home was not very far, but his wife began to be distracted from the moment she got on the carriage, and several times she spoke to him incoherently.
"Princess, you are not feeling well. Would you like to ask the imperial physician to come to your house to take a look?"
"Ah, no, I just, it's just that the way your mother and grandmother get along is quite strange when I see it for the first time."
"Isn't it good? My grandmother and my mother have always been like this!"
“It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that it’s too good, so it feels novel.
In most families in Beijing, let alone mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even mothers and daughters cannot think about each other like this."
Qiao Erlang explained: "My family is different. My mother treats my grandmother well, and that's what my grandmother deserves. Let's exchange sincerity for sincerity.
When we moved to Weizhou Prefecture, my mother was illiterate and had no support from her parents. She spent the first half of her life digging for food in the fields and taking care of her husband and children.
Later, my father quickly obtained an official position. At this time, my grandmother did not think that my mother was not worthy of my father like other mothers-in-law did.
Instead, I asked Nanny Qin to teach my mother how to be a qualified official's wife, supervise her learning to read, teach her how to manage the household, and teach her horse riding, archery, and life-saving skills.
When my father and mother have conflicts, my grandmother always sides with the right side instead of the relative side!
Even...even my grandmother personally prepared a dowry for my mother.
The Sixth Princess opened her lips slightly, obviously stunned!
Before he entered the Qiao family, he had heard that the old lady was very good to her daughter-in-law, but he had never really inquired about how good she was.
As soon as he married Qiao Erlang, Qiao Xin left the capital and went north.
The way she interacted with her mother-in-law was polite but distant, and she had never gotten along with Qiao Xin at all.
He thought that his mother-in-law and the old lady were the same, but when he saw it with his own eyes today, he found that it was completely different from what he thought.
Now after hearing what my husband said, I find it even more incredible!
How could someone be so devoted to someone who is not related to them by blood? What's the point?
"It's not that I want anything. First of all, my grandmother is afraid of trouble. She thinks that if my father remarries, it may not be as good as my mother. Moreover, the family relationship will be complicated and there will be more trouble. It's better to train my mother and save her trouble.
Secondly, my grandmother believes that anything that can be solved with money is not a big problem.
The third reason is that my mother is in line with my grandmother’s taste and we get along well together!”
Qiao Xin once told them that no matter what the relationship is in the end, it is just an acquaintance.
Those who are intentional will feel burdened, and those who are unintentional will not care. Love is expressed voluntarily, and there is no talk of indebtedness!
This is also the most realistic portrayal of Qiao Xin and her two daughters-in-law!
Qiao Xin never expected that a meal could make her grandson and granddaughter-in-law express so much emotion.
If she were present, she would definitely say: You think too much, young man!
After resting at home for two days, he went into the palace again to chat with the emperor and empress.
He handed over his military power and drank the bird's nest stewed by Xu every day.
Qiao Xin couldn't stay any longer. She couldn't get used to this extravagant life. She always had to have something to do so that she could feel at ease!
Seeing how uncomfortable she was from the itching, Nanny Qin couldn't help but laugh.
"Madam, the chrysanthemums are blooming beautifully. How about we hold a flower viewing party in our mansion to help the young ladies and gentlemen see their affinities?"
"We are not good at matchmaking. The children have no interest in it. What's the point of us, as elders, worrying about it?"
"But you can't ignore it. Dalang and Sanlang should have been married a long time ago. Even Silang and Wulang are fifteen years old. There is also Sanniang. If you don't find a date for them, who can they rely on?"
Qiao Xin was silent for a moment, but still shook her head and said, "Let their parents worry about it. I'll write to ask the second brother if there's a suitable candidate, and then ask Sanlang and Sanniang if they have anyone they like.
We should not intervene in the decision-making process. When the candidates are selected, we can just check for them!"
"But Second Madam......"
Qiao Xin interrupted Nanny Qin.
"Whether it's Lao Er, San Lang, or San Niang, they are all very principled people. Our good intentions can easily lead to bad things!"
She had already crossed Zhang out of her life and naturally didn't want to hear any news from her again!
