Before the unitary hour arrived, Sun Xingba returned home with a gloomy look on his face.
After entering the door, Sun Xingba did not go back to his yard, but paced back and forth on a veranda, thinking about what excuse he should use to "borrow" money from his mother!
Sun Xingba's father is also a well-known military general. He is currently assigned by the imperial court to station troops at the border and will not be able to return in a short time.
Just as she was thinking about it, her mother's maid came over and saw Sun Xingba, and greeted her: "Young master, why don't you go in when you are here? My wife is inside..."
Sun Xingba quickly turned around, raised a smile and said: "Aunt Mei, I... I'm planning to go in right now... Haha..."
Aunt Mei said: "Young Master, let's go in together."
Sun Xingba nodded hurriedly, and the two of them walked along the veranda to the yard in front.
After walking a few steps, Sun Xingba asked softly: "Aunt Mei, how is my mother... feeling today?"
Aunt Mei didn't know Sun Xingba's intention, so she replied: "Madam, you are in a very good mood today. The red moon in the yard bloomed this morning. It should be the last flower before winter."
It was opened. Madam originally thought she couldn’t see it anymore, but she didn’t want to but opened it..."
Sun Xingba hurriedly nodded in agreement, thinking that it would be best if his mother was in a good mood, and it would be much easier to "borrow" money later.
While they were talking, Sun Xingba and Aunt Mei had already arrived at the door of the courtyard.
In the yard, a lady in her forties was carefully taking care of several pots of blooming moonflowers. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around and immediately showed a kind smile: "Xingxing, you came back so early today.
ah......"
The tall and tall Sun Xingba blushed immediately: "Mom, I'm such an adult, why do you still call me by my nickname?"
"What's wrong with calling you by your nickname?" Sun Xingba's mother didn't think there was anything wrong, and said loudly: "Don't say you are nineteen this year, even if it is thirty-nine or forty-nine, as long as mother is still alive, you will always be mother.
Stars! Besides, this is our own home and there are no outsiders, so why can’t we scream?"
If Chai Yan knew that Sun Xingba was only nineteen years old, he would be stunned on the spot. In his eyes, Sun Xingba didn't look like a nineteen-year-old. He would believe him even if he said he was twenty-nine!
Sun Xingba was very helpless and could only roll his eyes gently as usual. He had said it many times not to call him by his nickname, but his mother just didn't listen.
Aunt Mei covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said: "Young Master, please sit down, I will make you tea..."
After saying that, Aunt Mei entered the house, and only Sun Xingba, mother and son were left in the yard.
While looking at the flowers, Sun Xingba's mother asked, "Tell me, come to me, what's the matter?"
"Mom, I...I'm fine, I just came back early and came to see you..." Sun Xingba hadn't thought of an excuse yet, so he was embarrassed to speak immediately.
She knows her son better than her mother, and as soon as Sun Xingba appeared, she knew that her son came with something in mind.
Sun Xingba's mother suddenly became happy. She walked to her son and said with a smile, "Xingxing, you have been unable to hide things from your face since you were a child. Is there something wrong that you can still hide from me?"
"Mom, I...I want..." Sun Xingba hesitated.
"Forget it if you don't tell me..." Sun Xingba's mother turned around and prepared to leave.
Sun Xingba was anxious: "Mom, I want to borrow some money from you!"
"Borrow money?" Sun Xingba's mother was shocked and asked without changing her face: "Why do you want to borrow money? How much do you need to borrow?"
Sun Xingba did not dare to look directly at his mother, lowered his head slightly, and said weakly: "Seven...seven hundred taels..."
"Seven hundred taels?" Sun Xingba's mother shouted in surprise, her voice naturally getting louder.
Sun Xingba quickly pressed his hands to signal his mother to lower her voice, and said anxiously: "Mom, please lower your voice, don't let grandpa hear..."
Sun Xingba's mother controlled her voice and asked in a stern tone: "Tell me! Did you lose money in gambling and owe gambling debts?"
"No!" Sun Xingba denied: "I have been winning in gambling recently, and I have never lost!"
This is the truth. Sun Xingba has been in good financial fortune recently, and there are basically winners at the gambling table.
"Why is that? I asked for seven hundred taels at the beginning. What are you using it for?" Sun Xingba's mother asked.
"Mom! Please stop asking now, okay? Anyway...anyway, my son is not used to pay off gambling debts..."
Sun Xingba was just embarrassed to say that he had lost the competition with Chai Yan, and he used money to offset calling him grandpa.
"No, I have to know this. Tell the truth!" Sun Xingba's mother is very strict on certain things.
While Sun Xingba was hesitating, Aunt Mei brought tea out of the house. She put it on the table in the courtyard and advised: "Young Master, you don't know how to lie at all. You should tell the truth.
Don’t let Madam worry..."
Sun Xingba has been straightforward and rough since he was a child, and his emotions and sorrows are all written on his face, so even if he comes up with any excuse to ask for money, his mother can see through it at a glance.
It is precisely because of this that General Sun was always worried that his grandson would bump into the emperor in the palace or offend other officials with his words, so he used his connections to transfer him to Wude Division.
Sun Xingba thought about it for a long time, but was still ashamed to tell him about his loss to Chai Yan in the competition. He immediately said anxiously: "Mom, can't you just ask this time? My son is waiting for money to save me!"
"If you don't tell the truth, my mother will definitely not borrow it!"
The personalities of mother and son are actually the same.
"If you don't want to borrow it... Forget it if you don't want to borrow it, I'll find someone else to borrow it..." Sun Xingba became stubborn and walked out angrily.
Just as Sun Xingba's mother was about to call her son to stop, she saw Sun Xingba stopped walking as he walked to the door, and his face seemed to become stiff.
Just listen to Sun Xingba's trembling voice: "Grandpa, you... why are you here..."
The person who appeared at the gate of the courtyard was Sun Xingba’s grandfather, General Sun Luochang!
Sun Luochang said nothing, with an unusually serious and terrifying expression. Accompanied by a female maid, he forced Sun Xingba back into the courtyard step by step.
In front of Sun Luochang, who is about seven feet tall, Sun Xingba, who is nine feet tall, is like a huge chicken!
"Father!" "Master!"
In the yard, Sun Xingba's mother and Aunt Mei saluted Sun Luochang together.
Sun Luochang kept his gaze fixed on Sun Xingba until he felt completely guilty and his chin hit his chest before he looked away.
"Daughter-in-law, let me tell you why Xing'er came to you to borrow money!" Sun Luochang said coldly.
Sun Xingba's mother and Aunt Mei were shocked at the same time. They immediately understood that Sun Xingba must have caused a big disaster, otherwise it would be impossible to alert the old man!

When Sun Xingba came home and asked for money, his grandfather scolded him, but he still gave him money.
