"This is Yuanyu, he's grown so big."
The old lady looked at Zhu Yuanyu with tears in her eyes, her expression was very loving.
Zhu Yuanyu saluted the old man and his wife, obediently and respectfully, "Grandpa, grandma."
The old man nodded and smiled.
After the greetings were over, Zhu Yuanyu had the opportunity to look at everyone.
Just like Wang Chunmei's narration on the road, my grandfather was a dedicated person. He only married one woman in his life, his grandmother, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Now he lives in an official family and holds the official position of Taifu.
His uncle's name is Wang Guangli, a minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He and his aunt Cui Wen have a son, Zhu Yuanyu's cousin Wang Jinyi, who is three years older than him and is engaged to be the daughter of a Hanlin bachelor.
Zhu Yuanyu nodded secretly. Such a family must have a good style and there must be nothing to worry about.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhu Yuanyu felt an unkind gaze. Following the feeling, he looked around and saw an acquaintance.
At this time, Wang Chunmei seemed to have noticed this person, frowning slightly, and asked: "Who is this?"
Zhu Yuanyu found that his uncle looked a little embarrassed, while his grandma looked dissatisfied and blamed: "How did you do this! Why is she here!"
The smile on the man's face stiffened and he quickly lowered his head.
Wang Chunmei was curious, "Mom?"
The old lady glared at Wang Guangli with a dark face, and said angrily: "Ask your brother!"
Wang Chunmei looked at Wang Guangli.
Zhu Yuanyu felt that his uncle wanted to find a hole to get in right away, and his face turned a little red.
"Well... this, this is your niece..."
"What? When did my sister-in-law give birth to another daughter? Why didn't you tell me?" Moreover, she didn't educate her well. The niece's temper was so bad that she was a disgrace to the Wang family.
This niece is Miss Jiao whom I met at the Buddhist temple.
Wang Guangli was even more embarrassed, "No, she is from a concubine."
Wang Chunmei opened her mouth wide, "Brother, you--" When did you take a concubine? I do not know how! ! !
The old man coughed and said, "Well, that's it. Don't ask so many questions. It's annoying."
Wang Chunmei looked at her sister-in-law and found that her sister-in-law was a little sad, but her nephew was very calm.
Hey, how could it be done?
The old lady snorted softly, and Miss Jiao trembled.
Zhu Yuanyu suddenly spoke up at this time, "It turns out to be my cousin. I was really sorry that day at the Buddhist temple. I didn't expect that the family I was scolding in the end was actually the same family, haha."
When Wang Shumian heard Zhu Yuanyu mention what happened at the Buddhist temple that day, she felt nervous. She tugged at the corners of her lips and forced a smile, "Where...it's my fault..." She apologized to Zhu Yuanyu and the others, "I'm sorry. Uncle, aunt, cousin.”
"What's going on?" the old lady asked doubtfully.
Zhu Yuanyu chuckled and told the story of what happened in the Buddhist temple.
Seeing the changes in the expressions of his grandparents and uncle, Zhu Yuanyu became even happier, "I don't blame my cousin, I was also wrong."
The old lady slapped the table hard and scolded: "Sure enough, it is something that cannot be put on the table! It seems that you still have little discipline. From now on, you will stay in your room and you are not allowed to take a step out. Every day Just kneel down and chant sutras for me, asking Buddha to forgive your sin of disrespect! Go down! I don't want to see you."
Wang Shumian's face turned pale and she resigned in a cold sweat.
Wang Guangli didn't say anything. Now he was just worried about waiting for his turn to be questioned.
Sure enough, the old lady took advantage of him and did not treat him as a son. She scolded him from beginning to end. Even the old lady was gloating about his misfortune without the slightest thought of stopping him.
Wang Guangli knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to ask his wife for help.
After all, Cui Wen was kind-hearted and couldn't bear Wang Guangli's continued blame, so she begged the old lady in a low voice, "Mom, it's been so long, and my husband was confused for a while and he changed his mind. Please forgive him..."
The old lady was furious, glared at Cui Wen, and finally stopped.
"Oh! It's all sin!"
Wang Guangli lowered his head in shame, "It's all my fault..."
After hearing so much, Zhu Yuanyu finally understood. It turned out to be another bloody scene of climbing on the bed.
My aunt married into the Wang family and has always been very affectionate with my uncle. My uncle also upheld the fine tradition and did not keep concubines like my grandfather. It's a pity that my aunt was too kind. A few years after my cousin was born, she focused on her and didn't realize that the maid around her had changed her mind.
The maid once took advantage of her uncle's drunkenness and was not paying attention, and succeeded in crawling into bed. The worst part was that her aunt had been coaxed by her sweet words and did not punish her. Then the wonderful thing happened, the maid became pregnant, and her aunt was so kind that she took her as her aunt. When the baby was born and the rice was ready, grandma learned that just when she was leaving to keep the baby, she was persuaded by her aunt to be taken away. He was forced to spare the maid.
The maid is now Aunt Chen, and Wang Shumian is her daughter.
Zhu Yuanyu had to admit that his aunt was simply the incarnation of the Virgin, and the structure of her head was probably different from that of ordinary people.
Fortunately, my uncle did not change his original intention and treated his aunt as before. The two of them were extremely affectionate, and they never saw Aunt Chen again after that. Aunt Chen was just a slave in name only.
If her aunt hadn't cared about Wang Shumian because of the flesh-and-blood relationship with her uncle, otherwise Wang Shumian's situation would have been very bad.
After hearing this, Wang Chunmei was about to explode, and Zhu Dafu almost couldn't stop it.
Wang Chunmei kept shouting that she was going to clean up the dirty hooves, calling her brother a bastard, and her sister-in-law was confused.
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the old lady, as if to say: Look, your daughter is like this. Who asked you to say such bad things in front of your daughter?
The old lady was also embarrassed, and suddenly felt that she seemed to be superficial, and she felt a little sorry for her son? Alas, my daughter is too impulsive. She hasn't changed her temper since she was a child, and I don't know how my son-in-law can deal with it.
How does Zhu Dafu cope? Let your son go!
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Zhu Yuanyu hurriedly comforted his mother-in-law. Didn't he see that his uncle was about to drill a hole, his aunt was about to cry, and his cousin couldn't hold it anymore?
"Mom, I'm hungry."
It's this trick again, but it still works every time, with hundreds of hits.
Wang Chunmei's focus immediately returned to her son, "Oh, my precious son is hungry. My mother immediately ordered her servants to prepare. Let's eat some snacks first to make sure we don't starve ourselves."
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right, go and get someone ready. Don't starve my Yu'er."
The old lady changed the topic and asked whether Zhu Dafu's residence in the capital was properly arranged.
Zhu Dafu understood and started chatting at length in accordance with his mother-in-law's wishes.
The atmosphere in the hall returned to a harmonious state.
Zhu Yuanyu also chatted with his cousin, while Wang Chunmei watched from the side. When she saw that the pastries on her son's plate were gone, she asked someone to put them again. She would also urge him to prepare meals quickly from time to time, so as not to starve his precious son.
Zhu Yuanyu could only keep stuffing snacks into his mouth, pretending that he was really hungry. Fortunately, he was really hungry, and his cousin was helping him get rid of the snacks, otherwise he would probably have waited for the meal to be ready.
It seems that he needs to walk a few more laps after dinner, otherwise having a big belly like his father will seriously affect his image.
