Chapter 60: Support
Mrs. Gong’s room was full of laughter and chatter, and Mrs. Song could hear it from afar.
The laughter sounded a bit harsh to her ears, and the unhappiness in her heart deepened.
The old lady did not send anyone to tell her the news of Gong Xu's return, but called Wen Mingqian alone.
It’s strange that Mr. Song would be happy if he favored one over the other.
"Auntie," Gong Baoan shook Mrs. Song's hand, "Why don't you leave?"
"Bao'er, be good, let's go to the door to greet daddy, okay?" Mrs. Song felt that she could just leave at this moment. You are not welcome even when you come in.
In this case, it is better to go straight to Gongxu to avoid making useless smiles here.
"But Fourth Brother and the others..." Gong Baoan frowned and grimaced, "I also want to be with them..."
Song thought for a while and said, "That's fine. , I’ll let the girl take you there. You can play with them while I go to meet the master.”
Gong Baoan was very happy after hearing this and rushed over like a swallow.
The first person Gong Xu saw when he arrived home was Mrs. Song. Seeing her looking haggard, she felt heartbroken.
It was hard to say anything in front of Gong Rang, so he just nodded towards her.
"Master, you have suffered a lot," Mrs. Song said while holding back tears, "I asked them to boil water and prepare brand new clothes. Please take a bath and change clothes first, and then go to see the master after packing them up." Madam!"
"That's right. It's not good for my mother to see me like this." Gong Xu said to his brother, "Please go to the old lady and give me an answer. , said I would go later.”
Afterwards Gong Xu cleaned up and came over to see his mother.
When they meet each other, they are naturally sad again.
It took a long time before I sat down again.
"Alas, no matter what, you finally came back safely." Mrs. Gong calmed down and sighed, "Remember to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to your ancestors later."
" Yes, mother." Gong Xu lowered his hands and said, "Thanks to the blessing of my ancestors for my son's return this time."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Hurry up and pass the food!" Mrs. Gong said, "It's not too early."
Then he looked at Mrs. Song behind Gong Xu: "You are not feeling well. It’s time to rest. Go back and ask them to pick up some of your favorite dishes. You can eat them in your room!”
“Thank you, old lady, for the food. I’ll go back first. Yes." Even though Aunt Song was unwilling to do so, she still pretended to be completely submissive.
She is just an aunt, and she is not qualified to eat at the same table as the old lady and the others.
Gong Xu glanced at her, full of comfort and distress.
Wen Mingqian saw it accidentally, and an imperceptible smile broke out on his lips.
She used to think that the flirting between the two people was a bit irritating, but now she just finds it ridiculous.
I don’t know how sincere Song was to Gong Xu, but Gong Xu took it very seriously.
Gong Xu also saw Wen Mingqian. Compared with the Song family, she was really pretty, but it was a pity that she had no heart.
After dinner, Webster finished cleaning up and took his two sons out.
Wen Mingqian also took Gong Changan back to take a nap.
Only Gong Xu, mother and son were left in the room.
"Mother, your son has worried you these days." Gong Xu was still very filial, "It's all my son's unkindness."
"How can I blame you?" Mrs. Gong He said, "I'm lucky to be back safely." "You must not have eaten well or slept well these days. Why not take a rest first, and then my son will come over to talk to you." Gong Xu said.
"There's no rush," Mrs. Gong said, "Your brother and I have something to say to you."
"Mom, please speak." Gong Xu vaguely felt that it was probably related to Wen Mingqian.
"I know you still have some discord with your wife," Mrs. Gong sighed, "but firstly, she has come back, and she has brought Chang'an with her. Secondly, it's thanks to you that you can come back this time. She, not to mention that I have really changed her mind these days.
After all, you can't go back to the past, but you have to look forward to life. You should also persuade yourself and her. Let go of the old grudges and stop being stubborn."
"My son understands what he meant. It's just that he can't change it for a while." Gong Xu already knew from Gong Rang's words how Wen Mingqian rescued him. .
He couldn't say that he wasn't touched, but the grudge in his heart still couldn't be completely eliminated.
“Second brother, a gentleman must allow people to repent,” Gong Rang also advised. “My brother and sister were a prostitute. They suffered in the border areas for seven years, and when they came back, they did their best for you. You are husband and wife after all, and you can’t live forever. She's cold-faced, right?"
"Yes! Her intention to write a scripture for forgiveness is sincere enough," Mrs. Gong said, "not to mention she raised the child so well.
Chang'an is your legitimate son, so you should treat him differently. "
Mrs. Gong cares about her legitimate son, so she is somewhat indifferent to the children born to the Song family.
Everyone knows this.
Although Gong Xu resisted Wen Mingqian from the bottom of his heart, he still chose to agree verbally in front of his mother.
"Since the mother has said so, the son should try his best to rebuild the old relationship with her."
"That's right." Mrs. Gong smiled, "Everything is going well with the family. It's great. Yes.
And now that Aunt Song is weak, it’s time to give birth and take care of herself, and stop worrying about her.
Just leave the housekeeping affairs to Ming Qian! I see that she is quite stable now, and she will not make any big mistakes when she wants to do things. "
"Mother, let's... wait a little longer. Gong Xu couldn't help but stop him, "After all, she just came back not long ago." "
"What does this have to do with Jiu Niu coming back? Mrs. Gong was unhappy, "If she's not at home, Mrs. Song will take care of her." Now that she is back and looking good again, wouldn't it be a joke if she doesn't take charge of the family? !
Besides, I’ve already said it, so you can’t help but agree. "
"Second brother, don't be stubborn with your mother. The old lady is doing it for your own good. Gong Rang said, "My brother and sister have not been at home these years, and there have been a lot of gossips outside." If she still behaves like this when she comes back, you will also be criticized. ”
Gong Xu sighed helplessly in his heart, knowing that he could not defeat the two people in front of him no matter what.
His father passed away before he was a minor.
My mother takes care of the inner house, and my eldest brother is responsible for all the affairs outside.
I grew up under their protection, but I was also somewhat tightly controlled.
Even at this age, there are still many things that cannot be decided by oneself.
"What mother and eldest brother said are right." Gong Xu couldn't hold back his unwillingness, "Then let her take care of the house."
Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. Gong didn't care whether he was happy or not, and said : "That's good. I think you're tired too. Go back and rest! You can wait until the Yamen informs you to go. You can take care of yourself at home these days."
"Please also ask mother. Rest, my son has left." Gong Xu stood up, bowed and took two steps back before turning around and leaving.
"Boss, you should also take a rest!" Mrs. Gong said, "Let's all take a rest!"
