e "I prefer mine, and you can give yours a bowl of water, as long as you don't mistreat my precious grandchildren." Gu Qingling said, "If any of my grandchildren are mistreated, I will still come to you.
Settle accounts."
"Oh... Mrs. Li, look at it, the old lady is really 'partial'!" Mrs. Yao Er smiled and looked at the prefect's wife, "She can be partial herself, loving this son and that son, but when she comes to me, she can't care about anyone.
You can’t be partial, what is this if not partiality?”
The prefect's wife burst out laughing: "As the old lady has said, she is partial, and if you still try to reason with her, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Mrs. Yao Er pretended to sigh: "Oh... there is really no reason in this world. What else can I do when I meet such an old lady? I can only do as I am told."
…
We talked and laughed for a while, and the afternoon passed.
When the magistrate's wife returned home, she told Magistrate Sun the content of the conversation.
"The way I looked at Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao, they really didn't look like they were affected by the rumors in the capital. They looked calm and spoke relaxedly..." the prefect's wife said, "You said they were pretending too much.
Okay, I didn’t see it, or does it really have no impact at all?”
Magistrate Sun shook his head: "I don't know, let's take a look first. Since Mrs. Yao hasn't entrusted us with anything, let's just take a look first and act accordingly when the time comes."
"It seems like this is the only way."
…
In the evening, Mrs. Yao Er also told Mr. Yao about the governor's wife's trip.
They also said that since the news of their separation spread, more people have come to the government to withdraw their capital. If Mrs. Yao hadn't spent a lot of private money, her stalls might not be able to sustain themselves.
"Tell me, what is the old lady's plan? She won't always want to advance money to me, right?" Mrs. Yao Er said, "It's not easy to advance money for such a big stall. I'm afraid that the old lady will give me money."
All her private money has been put in there, so I can just put it in. If the big house is also affected, I need the old lady to put it in... Can the old lady come over? It can't be Chong.
Did the prince secretly give it to the old lady?"
What she was most worried about was that the old lady had plans to "remarry" to Prince Chong, and she didn't know if Prince Chong was involved in the royal family of the capital.
If he can't handle it, can the old lady really marry him?
The old lady got married "secretly", so only a few people must know the truth. In other words, other people will definitely look down on the old lady, and then they, the old lady, will suffer too much.
It’s simply not “bearing the humiliation”!
Mrs. Yao Er secretly said in her heart that if it were her, she would never have the courage like the old lady.
This may be the reason why the old lady is so capable, but she can only guard the one-third of an acre of land in front of her.
Second Master Yao: "Let's see again. Didn't the old lady say, in a few days? Let's wait."
"I see that the old lady is quite leisurely today. I feel like there should be nothing going on, so I'll wait a little longer."
Then, Mrs. Yao Er communicated with Mr. Yao about the third-bedroom courtyard.
Now that we have divided our homes, we will definitely have to move out the big house and the three-bedroom house.
But now that the big house is in the capital, the things they left in the big house can't be moved, so they can only wait for them to come back. By now, the third house has been quietly moving things out, waiting to pick an auspicious day to officially move there.
Once the third bedroom is moved, the yard over there will definitely be freed up. Will she arrange it for Yao Anhong or Yao Anling?
"If possible, it would be better to live in the big house. The yard of the big house is bigger. When Brother Hong gets married, he can live there with his wife. But the big house is still in the capital, so he will definitely not move so early.
I don’t know when the yard will be vacated..." Mrs. Yao Er said, "I am thinking whether to give the third-bedroom yard to Brother Hong to live in first. When the big house is moved, I can clean it up and directly
Build a new house and let Brother Hong move there when he gets married..."
Listening to her rambling words, Mr. Yao was a little bit dumbfounded: "We haven't even booked the marriage yet, why are you thinking so far ahead?"
"Where is it far? Brother Hong is here? If it weren't for the strict control of the old lady, he would have been left alone at this age." Mrs. Yao Er glared at him, "If it weren't for Brother Hong, he would have been admitted to the capital in the future.
Go, I will attend various flower parties in advance to see which girl is suitable to be his wife. Then when I get engaged in the future, I will not panic, my eyes will be dark, and I will not even know who to choose.
"
"Then according to what you said, since Brother Hong will be admitted to the capital in the future, his future wife must also be a daughter of a noble family in the capital, and they will get married in the capital. If you consider him now, do you think he can live there in the future?
"
"Why can't we live there? Don't we want him to live there when he gets married? When we come back for the New Year and the holidays, the young couple don't want to live there. Even if they only stay for a few days, Brother Hong is the eldest son of the house, so he should leave a yard for him..."
Well, Mr. Yao can't refute.
When Mrs. Yao Er didn't say anything, Mr. Yao really didn't think that Yao Anhong was old enough and had reached the age where he should prepare for his family and consider marriage and children.
When she said that, he realized - it turns out that Brother Hong is already so big.
As his eldest son, these issues should really be considered.
only……
"If Brother Hong stays in the capital like his uncle, where should we stay? Jinling?" Yao Erye said, "Logically speaking, as the eldest son and grandson, we should live with Brother Hong, but if Brother Hong
My son is in the capital, and we are in Jinling... It seems we can't spend time with Brother Hong, right?"
Mrs. Yao Er was stunned for a moment: "Then if we don't live with Brother Hong, who will we live with? Brother Yu? Brother Zhou?"
"It's not impossible... Look at my mother, didn't she also live with us? She didn't go to the capital with my eldest brother or the others." Yao Erye said, "I think my mother looked like she would have had to remarry Prince Chong if she hadn't endured the humiliation.
Maybe I want to retire in Jinling. Jinling is really comfortable. It has everything and is more relaxed than the capital. If it is not for the future of future generations, there is nothing wrong with staying in Jinling."
Mrs. Yao Er fell silent.
According to her ambition, she naturally hopes that her grandchildren will go to the capital and pursue a bright future.
But after staying in Jinling for so long, Mrs. Yao Er had to admit that living in Jinling was indeed comfortable. Especially after Gu Qingling's "renovation", Jinling was simply an ideal retirement place.
She has three sons and one daughter. Yao Anhong will definitely go to the capital, but what about the remaining two sons?
Does she want to trap a son and stay in Jinling to provide for the couple in their old age?
It would be fine if one son volunteered, but if both of them were unwilling...
"well……"
Mrs. Yao Er sighed, suddenly being a parent was very difficult.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
The old lady always makes "long-term plans" for children like them. What about her? What can she and Mr. Yao do for their children?
