Chapter 45 Your Father Is Infuriating
It's true that they have a good relationship, but it would be inappropriate if it got out that I went back to my sister-in-law's house with her!
Jueluo looked at the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Old lady, please have someone spread what Lord Faka just said. The tenth prince came here on the way, and Wen Yao wanted our family to send the tenth prince to Niuhulu's house, but Lord Faka came to pick him up." It would be better for them to spread the news rather than for some people with ulterior motives to spread it.
"Mother, leave it to me," Dajueluo immediately understood what mother meant, walked into the mansion and left to make arrangements.
After they had asked the servants to leave the main hall, Xiao Jueluo couldn't help but ask, "Wen Yao, what's going on? Why did the Tenth Prince follow you to our house?"
"The second eldest's wife should be called Ninth Lady!" Jueluo reminded, "Don't blame mother for being talkative. It's fine at home, but I don't know how to arrange it when she goes out."
"Yes, mother, you are doing this for my own good. Should I scold you? I am also reasonable," Xiao Jueluo smiled. She chose the person she married herself. She chose Tominaga not because he was handsome, but because my mother's family is very good and there are no messy people in their home.
She felt very comfortable after getting married. She stopped pretending and just followed her own nature. Surprisingly, she got along very well with her sister-in-law.
"Mother, it's fine at home. If everyone calls me Ninth Lady at home, it would be too formal," Wen Yao said with a smile, "Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law. Speaking of the Tenth Prince, he really wants to go to Niuhulu's house. After all, all families are investigating the purchase, and many people have been deceived by me."
Jueluo shook her head. "Don't cheat people who are out of touch with the real world. How come Gu Laojia wasn't cheated? They only have those road closures for a month. They know the prices of the things they buy. No one can cheat them."
Jueluo looked at her two concubines who were also her former maids, "Look at your two aunts again, could we have been deceived all these years?"
Fourth son Zhu Dong's mother, Yu Niang, smiled and said, "My mother Yun and I have been with Madam since we were young, so we know these things best. Even the place we found to buy the goods has a relatively cheap price. In fact, the family that was cheated by our servants this time is the one that really has money."
The fifth son Shoushan's mother Yunniang nodded in agreement. "When Shoushan was cheated when buying something, I scolded him severely. Don't think that if you only read the books of sages, you will know nothing. If you are cheated in the future, you will know nothing. How can you be an official?"
"You, don't be too strict with Shoushan. This child is smart and has his own ideas. Don't be too reserved. I treat them the same as my own children. These two children can do whatever they want. As long as they don't get into trouble, we and their fathers will support them. Let them do it." Jueluo saw Shoushan and knew that he liked carpentry. "Even if it's carpentry, the court has a place where it is needed."
"Madam is right. I won't force him to study for the imperial examinations and become an official. It's good enough to have Zhuliang and Fuyong at home. Let him do whatever he wants." Yunniang looked in the direction of her son. "Madam also knows that Fuyong brought Shoushan to contact the Ministry of Works these days. We don't know the details, but it seems that Shoushan has some ideas of his own."
Jueluo smiled and said, "The Ministry of Works also needs various craftsmen, including carpenters. If the child likes it, we can see if there is any way. Zhuliang and Fuyong have asked about it these days." Jueluo was a little angry when she said this, and looked at Wenyao, "Wenyao, don't you know that this should be your father who asked, but he said that he was thin-skinned. Don't you think this is too infuriating?"
"Everything was handed over to the two children. The two children went to meet the ministers of the Ministry of Works with red faces. Your father said they did a good job and watched from the side. Your eldest brother was so angry that he came back and ignored your father for several days." Jueluo was also helpless. "The reason your father told us was to train the children so that if he was not around in the future, these children would be able to rely on themselves."
"This is what Ama can say, but mother, don't be angry, Ama must have done something," Wen Yao looked at her brothers and two aunts, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, you guys don't be angry with Ama, and eldest brother, you have to change your temper."
"If you ask me, Ama must have told those ministers in advance that he was really training you," Wen Yao guessed, because Ama Dong Eqi was very good to all his children. He really held both boys and girls in his mouth for fear that they would melt. How could it not hurt? "Ama is old, and I am afraid that you will be too dependent on him. When he is gone, you will not be able to take care of the family."
"That day, the Minister of Works, Lord Li, stopped for a few steps and talked to me. He mentioned that my father had come to him and he said he would give my fifth brother a chance, but if he didn't take the imperial examination, he would have to have extraordinary abilities to be recommended to the emperor. As long as he passed the emperor's eyes, no one would dare to use this matter to threaten my fifth brother or even Dong E's family," Zhu Liang responded with a smile, "but he felt that I had misunderstood my father and it was a bit embarrassing, so he only told my fourth and fifth brothers."
"Master Li?" Wen Yao looked at Zhu Liang. "Master Li Tianfu? I heard that he was once the Minister of Justice and the Minister of War? This man is both civil and military, there is almost nothing he doesn't know?"
"Yes, it's that old man. He was also the Minister of Personnel and worked in four of the six ministries," Shou Shan finally spoke, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. "It seems that the old man is about to resign. It's great that he can meet you in his busy schedule."
Xiaojueluo thought carefully about who it was, but still couldn't remember, so she poked Tominaga, "Who is it?"
"You won't understand even if I tell you. You just need to know that he is very powerful," Tominaga thought for a while and didn't know how to tell her.
"It's the same as if you didn't say anything," Xiao Jueluo glanced at her husband, who still seemed to be asking for a beating.
"Second sister-in-law, the one who passed the imperial examination last year and who you mentioned is good-looking. He should be called Li Fucang, his father. Li Fucang should be his youngest son." Wen Yao made a point of learning about the officials in the court, so she knew the Minister of Works. This man had been honest all his life, but now he was in poor health, so he planned to retire.
"Let's not talk about the court affairs," Jueluo saw that they were about to discuss Lord Li, and hurriedly interrupted, "Wen Yao, how is the Ninth Prince's backyard? Do those concubines respect you? How is Concubine Yi?"
Everyone looked at Wen Yao. Dajueluo also walked in from outside and looked at Jueluo. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged looks. Dajueluo was sitting below Jueluo and also looked at Wen Yao, waiting for her answer.
Wen Yao thought for a moment, "I don't have many concubines, only three of them, so they don't dare to disrespect me. Jiu Ye's attitude is there, so they don't dare to do anything. I have met Mother Yi several times, and Mother Yi is a cheerful person. I get along well with her."
