Chapter 250 Heart (2)
As soon as Zhao Changqing talked about Heli, Mrs. Xia immediately had a toothache and did not dare to mention the matter of taking Xia Wen's small matter. But she was unhappy and said to her husband, "I heard from the clan sister-in-law that the Empress Dowager's aunt cannot give birth to her, and she has to buy a concubine to give birth to a son for her husband to pass on the incense of inheritance. Women are jealous and jealous, and they have to make a difference. If they are good or not, they will say Heli, but they have no love at all. Fortunately, Brother Wen has been treating her wholeheartedly over the past few years."
Mr. Xia is a father-in-law, a big man and a juren. Although he is not happy, he doesn't want to say that his wife is not. He just said "hmm" to show that he knows.
No matter what Mrs. Xia thinks, Zhao Changqing still lives her own life. She has gone through too much pain. It is hard to defend Zhao Changqing's mood to this level of right and wrong in the Xia family. Zhao Changqing just felt disappointed. She told Mr. Su, "Not all efforts can be rewarded."
Mr. Su said, "You and Awen are in normal health."
Zhao Changqing said, "If I am not pregnant at the age of 30, I will adopt a child."
Mr. Su said in a gentle voice, "Changqing, a person's life is very long. Sometimes you feel that what you can predict is often the most unpredictable. If you feel troubled, it is better to come to me to stay here for a few days."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Home is my home, I live in my own home, I feel at ease." She bought the house, why should she move out?
The master and apprentice talked for a while, and for a moment, Qi Ru came over with Su Zhang. Zhao Changqing liked the child the most. She coaxed her for a long time before she said goodbye until the evening.
Xia Wen is now home from the yamen and has less social engagements outside. He is particularly considerate to Zhao Changqing to show his ambitions. When Xia Wen was resting, the couple went to the mountain to play together, which made Mrs. Xia feel so angry that her stomach hurts: others have a wife and have a wife, and even their ancestors have forgotten!
Mrs. Xia advised her son several times, "A man is always indulging in the inner tuition, and she still has the goal of her future." Xia Wen was so arrogant and still kept me. Mrs. Xia was so angry that she secretly told the old lady that "Xia Wen is in good health, Zhao Changqing cannot have a child."
When Mrs. Xia heard that it was almost gone, Mrs. Xia hurriedly held her down and whispered, "The maids in the house were bought by Brother Wen's daughter-in-law. The old lady's voice was a little higher, and she knew." In this matter, Mrs. Xia also retreated from the maids in Mrs. Xia's house to tell Mrs. Xia.
Old Mrs. Xia was so angry that she could not whisper, and she patted the couch and said, "She knew it! She knew what she knew, and she could still eat me! Unfilial things! She dared to say that it was Brother Wen before! When did you know it? This is true!"
Mrs. Xia whispered, "Brother Wen himself recognizes everything, he is in good health. He has been married for five or six years and has never had children. Brother Wen is in good health. Who is there anything wrong? Isn't this obvious?"
"Vox spirit! What a vix spirit!" Old Mrs. Xia thrust her waist and pointed to Mrs. Xia's nose and said, "You are also my own mother, why don't you tell me earlier!"
Mrs. Xia was in a dilemma, "The master was afraid that you would be angry, so he wouldn't tell me."
Old Mrs. Xia snorted, glanced at her wife with a slant, and asked, "What are you talking about now?"
Mrs. Xia lowered her head and stopped talking.
Mrs. Xia looked down on her daughter-in-law's incompetent virtues and said straight, "I won't say it when I should say it. You are still bored. Go out to find the matchmaker, and have a second wife for Brother Wen, and have a son!"
"No, no, no!" If this is so simple, why should she borrow the hand of Mrs. Xia? Mrs. Xia said, "I thought of this first, and I have found all the candidates, but Brother Wen's daughter-in-law said that Brother Wen was young and divorced immediately."
"Heli?" Old Mrs. Xia raised her sparse eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in her drooping eyelids, and said, "Heli is Heli! Heli is better! Heli is a better brother to marry! Heli, who can't lay eggs, and his face is screaming everywhere! She doesn't say Heli, and I don't want such a granddaughter-in-law!"
Mrs. Xia was still very reluctant to let Zhao Changqing go as her wife, and advised Mrs. Xia, "Brother Wen's daughter-in-law followed our family when she suffered in our family. She has worked hard for many years without any contribution. The old lady, her child is sensible, so she said such things. How can we, as elders, be the elders, besides, have not blushed for a few years, and life still has to be lived. His wife couldn't turn her mind for a while. I was really worried about Brother Wen's offspring. This is a big deal of incense. I really had no idea. I thought that one person was short-sighted and the two were the chiefs. The old lady had always had knowledge than me, and she had to ask the old lady to help me get an idea."
Old Mrs. Xia said, "What are you going to have a good idea? Is it important to be a descendant or a daughter-in-law who cannot give birth to a child? Is it impossible for Brother Wen to even tell me this? He is still the master of Hanlin?"
Mrs. Xia argued for her son, "Brother Wen has always been soft-hearted, and the old lady knows it."
"Men are all the same, and they are confused by their wives!" Old Mrs. Xia sighed and smiled meaningfully at Mrs. Xia, "Brother Wen has never seen a good one. No one is unmoved when he sees a good one."
"I've been optimistic about a great girl, but Brother Wen has always been respectful and has a good relationship with his wife..."
Old Mrs. Xia disagreed, "What's the difficulty? After cooking raw rice and raising the child first, can Zhao refuse to recognize it?"
Mrs. Xia complimented, "The old lady is still wise, but here and there are servants arranged by Brother Wen's daughter-in-law..."
"It's really useless." Old Mrs. Xia didn't see her daughter-in-law, so she asked her to come and give a few words. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it for half a day, and they used dinner together.
Zhao Changqing didn't know the specifics of Mrs. Xia, and could guess the rough idea. He had done what he should do and said what he should say. Zhao Changqing was unwilling to say all day long that your mother and your grandmother were plotting to take you a concubine again.
Forget it, if Xia Wen is willing to accept a baby, it is not something she can stop her. If Xia Wen is unwilling to have a concubine, it is the same as if she is not talking about it.
Zhao Changqing met a new friend, which was recommended by Zheng Miaoying to her. Meng, the former wife of the former Lu'an Houzi, who lives alone in Li Chu's house. Meng is a very cheerful person with no slight depression on her face. She smiled and said, "My parents say I'm stupid. I'm fed up. Whoever wants to be the ready-made mother will do it. Anyway, I won't do it." He Li Chu's house, she is still with her dowry and lives a ease.
Regarding Zhao Changqing's encounter with Meng, Mrs. Xia sighed with her husband, "If you don't interact with good people, if you keep going, something will happen. I'm not talking. Whose daughter-in-law is not filial to her parents-in-law at home and is under the management of her husband. Who is like her? She goes out when she says she goes out, and Arisuke is running around outside."
Mr. Xia forwarded this point to his son, but Xia Wen didn't realize it, saying, "It's just ordinary interactions between women."
Mr. Xia said, "Even if you come and go, you must interact with serious families. If those women who are separated are not incompatible with the morality of women, how can they be separated from their husbands? Women still need men's guidance. Don't always let them go. Why do men have no opinions at all? They always say what women say."
Xia Wen laughed, "We are husband and wife, let's discuss everything. Dad, don't worry, Changqing has always been a sensible."
Mr. Xia snorted and said, "It's better if you have some sense of your character."
As time passed slowly, the royal family of the vassal kings who came to the imperial capital returned to their fiefdoms in batches. Because of his high age, the King of Shu was the same as the Princess Lao Mei. Empress Dowager Song left the King of Shu to celebrate the New Year in the imperial capital. The King of Shu also treated the King of Xiangyang. This one was not as senior as the King of Shu and Lao Mei, but he was of the same seniority as Emperor Zhaowen, and was considered to be the uncle of Mu Yu. In this way, the royal family members would stay one for each generation and leave after the New Year. Mu Yu's brothers wrote a letter to ask for the vassal, and were also kept. The brothers would have another reunion year, and it would not be too late to go there after the New Year. After all, the vassal kings would have to leave the fiefdom at any time, and they would have fewer meetings in the future.
A few years ago, Aunt Xia finally made a marriage for Zhao Lian. She was a gentry family in the suburbs of Beijing. She lived a wealthy life, but also had plenty of food and clothing.
After the Chinese New Year, there was another good news from Xia Wen. Officials inspected each other every three years. Xia Wen was evaluated in Hanlin for three years, and his official position was steadily promoted to half a level, from a seventh-rank Hanlin editor to a sixth-rank Sizhilang. Don’t underestimate the official position of Sizhilang. The official position is not high, and the cabinet is in the miscellaneous work. It is a fat man who has gained knowledge. Those who are not valued by the emperor cannot be promoted to this position.
Xia Wen said to Zhao Changqing, "I can't imagine it anymore."
Zhao Changqing was naturally happy for her husband and whispered, "Although it was unexpected, it was also expected. The Empress Dowager's tribe is not many, and the Song family's foundation is shallow, let alone the Song Duke's Mansion cannot directly participate in politics. We have always been close to the Song family, and you have always been attentive in your work. The Empress Dowager wants to be willing to use someone who knows the roots."
The young man Xia Wen was proud and smiled, "I originally planned to return to my hometown and continue to open a medicine hall after doing it."
Zhao Changqing sorted out his clothes and smiled, "First respect the Luo clothes and then respect others, Lord Xia is still handsome in official uniforms." She is not in the mood to return to Shuzhong now.
Xia Wen laughed, "The day after tomorrow is Brother Fang's birthday, let's go together."
Zhao Changqing naturally answered.
Xia Wen was promoted and highly valued. The Xia family, all the young and old, were full of joy and their eyebrows and eyes. Even Xia Shaoqing specially ordered someone to ask Xia Wen to come and tell him a lot of things.
Old Mrs. Xia called Mrs. Xia and whispered, "It's time." The grandson has a good future. Regardless of what Zhao Changqing means, based on her grandson's current momentum, what kind of good woman to marry is naturally more important. hf();
