Chapter 949 Return to Beijing
Liao Fangyi walked over, glared at her, and then said to the third child, "The third child, you are an elder and a man. You like your sister when she is still young. As the eldest brother, you have to give in to your sister."
"Hmph, I don't want her to be my sister." The third child stuck out his tongue with a look of disgust on his face.
Sister Huan also cried loudly, "I don't want him to be my brother. I have a big brother, so I don't want this bad guy to be my brother."
Sister Huan's cry was loud, like setting off firecrackers, crackling loudly. Liao Fangyi covered her ears and said with a black face, "If you don't want it, don't want it. Why are you crying? You don't want me to be my brother, and they don't want you." Where is my sister?”
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhuo came over and stopped her from talking nonsense, "Tell the child nicely and the child will understand. Little girls should not be violent and must be pampered."
Mrs. Zhuo said, hugging Sister Huan, and coaxed softly, "Did your third uncle bully you? Don't cry, my aunt will help you vent your anger."
As he spoke, he reached out and slapped the third child on the back of the head.
The third child was clever and was about to dodge, but Zhuo glared and asked, "How dare you try to dodge?"
The third child didn't dare.
Otherwise, if his mother goes home and complains to his father, his father will have to whip him a few times.
Mr. Zhuo slapped the third child on the back of the head. The third child puffed up his face with aggrieved face, curled his lips, and almost cried.
Sister Huan saw that the third child was beaten. This time, she stopped crying and nestled in Zhuo's arms, giggling happily and forgetting about the third child pinching her face just now.
When the third child saw her smiling, he gritted his teeth and bared his claws in anger.
With Mr. Zhuo by his side, no matter how angry the third child was, he would not dare to stretch out his claws on Sister Huan again.
After dinner, Zeng Yiran and Liao Fangyi took their children to Liao's house. Zhuo and Xia Zihan sat with Zeng until the evening. After dinner, the family returned to Anjun Prince's Mansion.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, all the New Year's gifts for each family had been given away, and Mrs. Zhuo began to prepare the menu for the Prince's New Year's Eve dinner and the New Year banquet.
Xia Zihan spent this twelfth lunar month very lightly. In addition to making clothes, she played with her two little buns on weekdays. Zhuo basically did not need her to do the housework at home. If she was really too busy, she would let Xia Zihan do it. Give me a hand.
There are many managers around Xia Zihan. Even if she is in charge of the affairs of the government, she only talks about it and does not need to do everything herself.
As for the account books of Zhuangzi and the shops, Xia Zihan handed over all the account books to Si Cao. In the past few months, she had given full authority to Si Cao to check the account books sent by each Zhuangzi shop.
Although there were many ledgers, Si Cao could still be busy by doing nothing by herself and just checking the ledgers every day.
Sometimes when I have some free time, I will come and help Nuanyu watch the two little buns together.
Several of the eldest maids around Xia Zihan have all gotten married and have become the housekeepers of Yuqiongyuan. Everyone has shared a part of the affairs for her, and she is much less worried than before.
Now, as long as she is at home, she spends time with Little Baozi, making clothes for her family, and writing letters to Xia Zihan. Sometimes, when she misses Chu Jingqi, she takes out all his letters, opens them one by one, and writes them all over again. Read it again.
On this day, when Xia Zihan was reading the letter, Chu Qiaoxing hurriedly came to report, "Princess, good news, the second young master of the Liao family and Aunt Jing are back and have just entered the east gate of the city."
Liao Jingtang and his wife came back with their children, and brought back a lot of gifts for the Chu family and Xia Zihan. Liao Jingtang, his wife and their children entered the city gate and went directly back to the Liao family. Mrs. Jin took a few servants and delivered the New Year's gifts that had been prepared one by one to the Chu family and the Anjun Prince's Mansion.
From Mrs. Jin's mouth, Xia Zihan learned that some time ago, when the victims of the Jiangnan disaster were making trouble, a small group of refugees also came outside Jiangning City to make trouble.
Fortunately, Liao Jingtang had made preparations beforehand, and Xia Zihan lent him people, so those people were quickly suppressed.
Liao Jingtang placed the refugees on the outskirts of the city, and sent people to guard the city gates to prevent them from entering the city. Only then did Jiangning City maintain peace and no chaos broke out.
Because the suppression was quick and there was no chaos, the matter did not spread.
If Mrs. Jin hadn't said it, Xia Zihan really wouldn't have known.
……
Mrs. Liao was on her deathbed and did not have long to live, and Liao Jingtang was her direct grandson. The two of them were trying to avoid seeing Mrs. Liao, but they could not avoid this last meeting.
Therefore, Liao Jingtang and his wife came back with their children.
As soon as they got home, before even having a sip of hot tea, the couple went to Mrs. Liao's house to visit Mrs. Liao.
Mrs. Liao had hated Zeng Jing for many years, and Zeng Jing had been hiding outside for many years. This time, Zeng Jing came back and threw herself into a trap. It would be strange for Mrs. Liao not to teach her to death.
As soon as Zeng Jing came back, Mrs. Liao ordered her feet not to touch the ground. She would pinch her shoulders, rub her legs, drink tea, and spit. In short, she would not let Zeng Jing rest for a while. Deliberately trying to tease her.
Mrs. Liao felt sorry for her little daughter-in-law and wanted to help her, but Mrs. Liao muttered that she didn't want her, "My body has been hurting so much these days. My cousin and daughter-in-law pinched her, and the pain stopped. Cousin and my daughter-in-law These hands are also very skillful. No one in this house can squeeze her as comfortably as she does."
She deliberately praised Zeng Jing for saying that there is nothing on earth but there is something in heaven, but everyone present knew it well that Mrs. Liao just didn't like Zeng Jing and wanted to tease her.
Zeng Jing also had a good temper. She would do whatever Mrs. Liao said and serve her silently. However, Liao Jingtang felt distressed watching from the side and wanted to say a few good words for his daughter-in-law. However, when he saw Liao Jingtang, he had a good temper. When the old lady looked at Zeng Jing with a cold look, Liao Jingtang's heart felt extremely cold.
In the evening, Mrs. Liao left Zeng Jing alone to wait on her.
But that night, Zeng Jing was still ordered by her to keep her feet from touching the ground. Let alone take a break, she didn't even have time to take a breath. She even ate as if she were fighting. While Mrs. Liao was asleep, she Only then can you take a bite to fill your stomach.
But Mrs. Liao treated her like this, but Zeng Jing didn't complain at all.
The next morning, it was almost time. Zeng Jing, who had not slept all night, was still in Mrs. Liao's house and was still being ordered around by Mrs. Liao.
Liao Jingtang felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and wanted to argue with Mrs. Liao, but was stopped by Mr. Liao.
Mr. Liao said, "Your grandmother has always had a strong temper. You have been hiding from her for so many years. Last time in Jiangning City, you kicked Mother Hu out of the house and refused to let her live in the house. Mother Hu is in your house." It’s not like you don’t know the status of your grandmother in your heart. Even when I see her on weekdays, I have to give her some respect, but you don’t even give her a place to live. From your grandmother’s point of view, this is just natural. Hit her in the face.”
