Your Uncle Lu has already written a letter to Minister Mao. I don’t know the content of the letter, but your Uncle Lu said that he wrote down everything Sister Mao told him in the letter.
In the end, the servant Mao just sent a housekeeper to the Lu Mansion, and the housekeeper acted as if Sister Mao and the others had made a mistake, but they were causing trouble for the two masters of the Mao Mansion everywhere.
But Uncle Lu was so angry that he drove the housekeeper away at that time, and then sent two letters to Minister Mao.
But these two letters, Shilang Mao didn't even reply.
Your Uncle Lu also said that the letter might have been blocked, saying that no matter how much Shilang Mao went too far, he would not dare to leave his mother and seriously injured son alone.
If your letter is blocked, you are an unfilial son."
Qi Bao'er agreed with Magistrate Lu's guess, "Nai, it's really possible that Xin was stopped."
Seeing that Mrs. Tian was about to retort angrily, Qi Baoer continued without giving her a chance: "Think about it, Uncle Lu is an official and the prefect of Yong'an City, which is so close to the capital;
Mrs. Mao and Mr. Mao live in the house of Magistrate Lu. Mr. Mao, who does not care about his mother or his son who is seriously injured, is both unfilial and unkind. Regardless of whether these two charges are suppressed, it will be enough for him.
A pot; if Magistrate Lu wants to cite one of his books, the memorial can be placed in front of the emperor's court on the same day, so how can Minister Mao get it?
My guess is that the housekeeper said something in front of Mr. Mao after he returned. For example, he didn’t tell Mr. Mao about Mr. Mao’s real injury. For example, Mrs. Mao wanted to stay at her cousin’s house for a while, or that Mrs. Mao and Mr.
Mr. Mao and Ms. Mao are obviously good people, but because of selfish motives, they talk nonsense in front of Magistrate Lu, etc.
Baby, please don't be angry. I'm not speaking for Minister Mao. He must be wrong. If he doesn't know about Young Master Mao, he's blind. If he knows about Young Master Mao, he's a scumbag.
But we have to figure it out first, second, and third."
Mrs. Tian was able to listen to her granddaughter's advice, and what she said was really reasonable. Thinking about it further, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not worth it for her old sisters, and she felt that Mrs. Mao was hateful.
Patting his thigh, he said, "Bao, you are right. There is no such good thing in the world. Sister Mao worked so hard for this son in his early years. How can it be that he has no future and Sister Mao can't live a good life for a day?"
Isn’t this cheap for outsiders?
Qi Baoer was silent. He didn't know how to persuade the old lady. He couldn't say that this kind of thing was not unusual, right?
The old lady once told her that Mrs. Mao's husband passed away early. Mrs. Mao originally married her husband in the name of happiness, but he left in less than two months after the marriage.
The Mao family all blamed Mrs. Mao for killing her husband. Just after her first birthday, the Mao family gave Mrs. Mao the name of dividing the family. In fact, she was so rushed that she didn't even let Mrs. Mao take the dowry.
He kicked the person out wearing only one piece of clothing.
At this time, Mrs. Mao already had someone in her belly, who was none other than Mao Shilang, the current minister in Beijing.
The old lady's mother-in-law also disliked her. Some also said that she had a hard life, and some felt that she was just as embarrassed as Hugh when she was kicked out. The door of the house was closed tightly, and they even poured water on her. In short, she was not allowed to enter.
Mrs. Lu's mother couldn't stand it anymore and rented a house for Mrs. Mao in the county. Mrs. Mao now had a place to live and made a living by washing clothes and doing embroidery for others.
Perhaps in order to gain publicity, or simply hoping that the child would grow up naturally, Mrs. Mao saved money and sent Minister Mao to school early.
Shilang Mao was not a very smart person. From the time he started studying to passing the Tongsheng test and finally becoming a Jinshi, he lasted from the age of five until he was thirty.
During this period, Mrs. Mao married his daughter Ye from the next door family.
This Mrs. Ye had an honest and hard-working temperament, and was the kind of good woman and wife who was willing to give. But she was also too hard-working and overworked, and she died before Mao Shilang could pass the Jinshi examination.
And how did Minister Mao repay them?
Shilang Mao went to Beijing to take the exam and never returned. Mrs. Mao inquired for a long time before she found out that he had passed the Jinshi exam and had been sent to other places to serve as an official.
Just like this, nearly ten years passed. Shilang Mao was transferred back to the capital and joined the Ministry of Personnel. He had already married the daughter of the prime minister's family. Then he sent someone to pick up his grandfather and grandson to the capital.
There is another issue here. Shilang Mao first married his successor and then entered the official department.
In short, regarding the Mao family, no matter how you look at it, this Minister Mao is nothing.
Regardless of whether the old lady had personal emotions when talking to her, it is a fact that Shilang Mao did not take his mother and children to his appointment when he became an official, and it is also a fact that he did not ask questions now when his eldest son was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain.
However, Mrs. Mao was not entirely innocent.
"Bao, how about you persuade Sister Mao to return to Beijing to find her son?" Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about your eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter, right?!
Qi Baoer looked at her with a look of indignation and said with a smile, "Nai, do you think Mrs. Mao will really listen to you?"
At first, she thought that Magistrate Lu didn’t know about the Mao family, and that what the old lady told her was just gossip between sisters. After learning that Magistrate Lu had sent a letter to Minister Mao earlier, she knew what Madam Mao really thought.
.
How to put it, it can only be said that her sons and grandchildren have different statuses in her heart.
It can't be said that Mrs. Mao is evil. In fact, she has been protecting her grandchildren. However, her son's status in her heart is more important, so when choosing between her son's future and her grandchildren, she chose her son.
Mrs. Tian: What does "..." mean?
"Mistress, no matter how carefully you think about it, Mrs. Mao is the biological mother of Shilang Mao. Shilang Mao is nothing more than a thing. As a minister, he must at least look beautiful.
Especially the word filial piety. If any official in the court wears the label of being unfilial, the emperor will immediately issue an order to reprimand or even dismiss him from office. How could Minister Mao dare to violate this taboo?
Mr. Mao and Miss Mao were raised by Mrs. Mao. They had been wronged and wasted. Why didn't Mrs. Mao directly tell Mr. Mao?
Okay, even if Madam Mao knows her skills and has no choice but to endure the grievances that Old Madam Mao and the others have to endure, then the injuries on Mr. Mao’s body cannot be faked this time, right?
Why didn't Mrs. Mao go directly to find her son, Shilang Mao, instead of taking her granddaughter and granddaughter away from the capital?
Also, the fact that Mrs. Mao was able to escape from the house with the seriously injured Mr. Mao shows that Mrs. Mao is not alone in the house, she has someone who can take advantage of her.
Look, it’s not that we are completely helpless and can only watch helplessly. Why did Mrs. Mao decide to return to her hometown when her grandson was so injured?”
Mrs. Tian was completely stunned. She couldn't think straight for a long time, but she instinctively followed Qi Bao'er's words and said:
"She doesn't want to affect her son's reputation."
