Chapter 125 Chapter 125

There are many people in the family and they are gossipy, so it is easy for trouble to arise. Han Ruohua is very careful about Sanlang's affair with his mistress, so she may not be unaware of it. Although she hates him, she is more tolerant than Shao and knows the seriousness of the matter better than Grandma Qing. If she miscarries like Grandma Qing this time, it is possible that her father-in-law will really send a fierce enemy like Aunt Chu to her.

Of course, she also has her own tricks. Now that her parents are at home, Han Ruohua said to Sanlang: "Don't go out these days. The old man attaches great importance to your studies. If you don't work hard, what good will it be if we separate one day in the future?"

Shen Sanlang smiled and said, "It's fine, why divide the family? As long as Dad is alive, there will be no division."

Han Ruohua looked at her husband deeply, not knowing what to say. She actually wished that the family could be divided now. If the family was divided now, she could still get some good things. It all depended on the young wife to have more children. The more children she had, the less she would get. Why did the Yan family live such a comfortable life? It was because the eldest son of the family had only one son, so they were very wealthy.

But she knew that if she said too much, her husband might get annoyed.

He is not a bad person, but he does not understand what others say. He is also cowardly and stubborn.

Such a husband wanted her to accompany him for the rest of his life. Han Ruohua had given up and wanted to give birth to a son early, and from then on she devoted herself to raising him. In aristocratic families, there are many connections. As long as you finish your studies, you can get in touch with any relatives or friends in the future. The official career is much easier than that of a poor family.

She didn't want to ridicule her husband, so she could only swallow her anger.

Han's second uncle went to Beijing to report his work. He was a mediocre official. At first, he listened to Han Ruohua's words and did not go to find Yan Yingqi. Shen San was only working in the Ministry of War. The dispatch of officials was the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel. He had always been an official outside the Ministry and had no say. Han's second uncle had to look for his old connections and spent 5,000 taels of flour to get a job as a transport official.

But the money was almost spent, so the group of people went to take up posts outside.

When the Han family was there, Mr. Shen couldn't lose his temper. As soon as they left, he called Shen Sanlang over and said, "I told you to study hard, but you kept a mistress. If your elder brother hadn't seen it and told me, I wouldn't have known you were so depraved."

"Did my elder brother say that? Why would he betray me?" Shen Sanlang couldn't believe it.

He was just short of money and wanted to borrow some money from Shen Linfeng, so he told him about the matter. Little did he know that he would actually complain to his own father.

After being beaten, Sanlang Shen complained to Shen Linfeng. Shen Linfeng said self-deprecatingly, "If I don't care, everyone will blame me. If I care, Sanlang will blame me for breaking them up. If he tells Uncle San, he will still blame me."

Yao Niang said angrily, "A real man will not regret what he has done. You are like this, always thinking too much. If it were me, I would not think so much. I don't care who he is. I said what I should say. Your father disciplined you like this, but it was your own fault. I have nothing to feel guilty about."

Don't waste time on yourself. You have too little ability to withstand pressure and are too sensitive. In the final analysis, you are too kind.

Every time he was scolded by Yao Niang, he felt happier and he didn't know why.

"My dear, what would I do without you?"

Yao Niang touched his head and said, "You always act coquettishly with me. Even Sister Fu is not as coquettish as you."

In fact, Shen Linfeng is a very capable person, and he gets along well with his superiors and subordinates. He is also decisive in his actions. However, he has a very high sense of morality and a strong sense of responsibility, so only someone like Yao Niang can help him.

The couple talked about hiring a teacher for Sister Fu, and Yao Niang said, "I see our child is already three years old. My nephew and brother in my mother's family all started learning when they were three or four years old. Sister Fu is taller than other children and knows more. I want to hire a teacher for her in advance."

Yao Niang is almost always responsible for taking care of the children, and Shen Linfeng is responsible for the execution. The man is in charge of the outside affairs, while the woman is in charge of the inside affairs, and the division of labor is very clear.

This is the advantage of Shen Linfeng having many friends. He soon found a Jinshi to be Fu Jie'er's teacher. This man was in his thirties, and was not as pedantic and old-fashioned as the old scholar. He was quite humorous and talented, but his official career was not smooth, so he lived in Beijing.

The Shen family gave a lot of money, including 120 bags of clothes for two seasons a year, and even provided a yard for them to live in.

When Fu Jie'er started to study, she cried for several days. Yao Niang was not willing to get used to her daughter. She woke her up at a certain time every day, dressed her and went to the study room to study. She often secretly watched her daughter study by the window. After a month, the child got used to it and Yao Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

But when other people found out that Fu Jie'er had hired a famous teacher to teach her, some, like Qian Niang, spent even more money and manpower to hire maids and female teachers from the palace to teach her, and the money they spent was several times more than Fu Jie'er's.

This is to compete with Yao Niang, and there are also jealousies, such as Shao Shi, whose son is one or two years older than Fu Jie Er, and has just been weaned, so the child is very spoiled. As long as he has a request, Shao Shi will always meet it, much better than she is now to her newborn daughter.

Now that she heard that Sister Fu had hired a famous teacher, she also wanted Shen Linjiang to invite the teacher, and Shen Linjiang had to ask for permission from Mr. Shen San.

Third Master Shen asked his eldest grandson to come and see him. The child looked a lot like Shen Linjiang, with a strong body, but a little shy, not as open and generous as a man. Third Master Shen had met Shen Linfeng's daughter, Sister Fu, who was young but spoke very clearly and logically, and her generous appearance made people like her at first sight.

This child is inferior to other boys, not to mention other girls.

But enlightenment is also necessary, so Mr. Shen asked his housekeeper to find one. He personally examined the teacher and found that he was a good person with solid knowledge. So Shao's son Huai'er started to study.

But after Ruofu started to go to school, she no longer had the time to visit relatives and friends with Yaoniang as often as before. Xie missed her granddaughter, so she brought Jingci to visit her house.

"Let me tell you, when you have many children in the future, it will be like your legs are tied with ropes, and you won't be able to walk." Xie said with a smile.

Yao Niang said, "The younger one is still too young, I have to take care of him. The older one is over three years old, and although he is also in school, I am still worried about him."

At noon, Fu Jieer came back from school to eat. When she saw Xie, she hugged her grandmother and kissed her several times. Jingci felt that her mother was his own, so he stood closely beside Xie. Yao Niang pulled Jingci over and gave him a piece of cake.

"Sister." Jingci sat obediently beside Yao Niang. He also liked his sister very much.

Yao Niang smiled and said, "Sister knows that you like to eat sheep head skewers, so I'll have someone make it later. After dinner, we can go over there and play with the pot."

Now, Shen Linfeng's family of four is the only one living in the mansion. This is an extremely large house. Yao Niang simply discussed with Shen Linfeng and cleared a lawn for the children to play with swings and grass pots.

He even built a little maze out of wood, and the kids had a lot of fun playing in it.

When Xie and her daughter-in-law get along, she always has to take each other's mood into consideration and be careful about the limits. But when she is at her daughter's house, she is very happy. After letting the children play the pot-tossing game by themselves, Yao Niang lets Xie sit on the swing.

At first, Xie said she felt dizzy or something, but the feeling of flying was so good that she was reluctant to come down. But after looking at the sun, she said, "Yao Niang, your father told me that he wanted to eat red bean buns. I have to go back first."

"Why do you have to make it yourself? Your son-in-law's friend recommended us a pastry chef. The red bean paste buns he made are famous for being delicious. Just ask him to make them for you to take home and have fun for a while." Yao Niang requested.

If Xie really wanted to leave, she would definitely get up and leave, but Xie was obviously hesitant, as she also wanted to come out and relax.

Normally, no matter whose house I visit, it is just a social visit. But at my daughter's house, it is mainly because my daughter is in charge, so I feel very relaxed.

Seeing her mother's hesitation, Yao Niang ordered the kitchen to make more red bean paste buns in front of her and asked Xie to stay. Yao Niang had only discovered Xie was very good at playing spinning tops after so many years, and this was another new discovery.

When Jingci saw Xie playing, he wanted to play too. Xie immediately wanted to let her son play. Yaoniang immediately said, "Mother, we have a large space here and we have many spinning tops. Ziteng, take one and give it to my uncle."

After Jingci's spinning top arrived, Xie reluctantly put down her own spinning top and taught her son how to play with it.

Yao Niang thought that her mother was actually a very young girl when she married her father. She was also happy in her heart. Before becoming a mother, she also had her own joys and sorrows.

Seeing Xie and Jingci having fun, Yaoniang put her daughter on the swing and pushed her. Ruofu smiled and said, "Mother, I want to push it as high as possible."

"Children can only play this high, otherwise they will be sad if they fall down." Yao Niang scratched her daughter's nose.

When the children were tired from playing, Yao Niang asked someone to take a boat to pick lotus flowers. The Yan family also had a lake, but Xie was the only lady. Even when she was watching the lake, she was alone. How could she be happy with a lotus leaf on her head? Her daughter even peeled lotus seeds for everyone to eat. Jingci, a picky child, also ate them with a mouth full of fragrance.

Ruofu pointed at the pouch hat on her head and said, "Mom, I can't get any sun exposure like this."

"Yes, come, eat a lotus seed." Yao Niang stuffed one into her daughter's mouth and another into her brother's.

When Yan Yingqi came back in the evening, he asked Xie: "Did you go to the Shen family today?"

"Yes, I took Jingci to Yao Niang's place to play for a day." Xie had been active all day and her face was flushed.

Yan Yingqi took a red bean bun from the table. Xie was a little nervous because her husband had been asking for red bean buns for half a month and she often forgot to make them. She had promised to make them today but forgot while having fun.

But after taking a bite, Yan Yingqi actually said, "Hey, you're really good at cooking. It's delicious. When did you learn how to make northern red bean paste buns? The skin is all layered, and it tastes better than what you made before."

Xie smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more."

It turns out that it is just as my daughter said, as long as the food tastes good, no one will be able to eat it unless you tell them.
