MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 52 , Foolish and filial man in Fu Baowen (17)
"Master, miss."
As soon as the father and daughter entered the house, a plainly dressed woman with a kind face came out. At this time, Jiang Zheng, the guard who brought the father and daughter along the way, had already parked the carriage in the stable in the backyard. .
"This is Mrs. Lin I told you about earlier."
Jiang Zheng pointed to the woman who looked to be in her early forties. She was also a poor person. In the early years, because of her family's poverty, she entered a rich family's house to be a nanny for the child of that family not long after giving birth. Who knew that she worked so hard to save money and asked someone to send it home, but her husband fell in love with a little widow from the same village.
The two had an affair in the room, and carried the child who was not yet one year old to the next room. As a result, the child woke up midway and crawled around, and accidentally fell off the kang. The loud crying did not stop the couple Think about it and take a look.
By the time it was over, the child had long since lost his breath.
In the beginning, her husband's family helped to hide it, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and she has a strong temper. Regardless of her husband's family's persuasion and her mother's family's persuasion, she reconciled with that beast. In the end, her mother's family still blamed her for her temper It was too radical, and it ruined the reputation of other girls in her natal family.
In a fit of anger, she simply combed herself and stayed in the family where she was a nanny before.
That family has some relationship with the natal family of the eldest son of the Shou'an Hou Mansion. Since I want to make the connection between Su Laoer and the Shou'an Hou Mansion visible, the caregiver's mother-in-law is naturally from a family related to the Shou'an Hou Mansion. found.
This woman has lost all relations with her natal family and her ex-husband's family. She is a widow. Her wealth cannot be more simple. Moreover, she is stable in her work and has experience in taking care of a young master. It is also very appropriate to help take care of the only daughter of the second child.
"The rooms have been furnished, but I don't know what the master and lady like. If there is anything to be changed, I will call someone over immediately."
Aunt Lin quickly looked at the father and daughter in front of her.
The master's figure is really intimidating. During this period of time, she went in and out of this street, and saw many officers and soldiers who came back from the military camp to visit relatives. Some of them were still wearing armor at the time. Among ordinary people, those people were also He was tall and straight, but compared to the one in front of him, he was like an eagle and a chick.
But, although this man looks majestic and fierce, his face is not intimidating, his eyes are gentle, and he looks a bit honest and honest.
It is said that she was an ordinary farmer before, because the biggest backer behind the head of the household who saved her, the eldest son of the Shouanhou Mansion, was given this official position in order to repay her kindness.
Aunt Lin thought to herself, which one of those noble people did not bring a group of guards and servants to serve him?
That's why she won't look down on this old man who has just been promoted from a mud leg to a centurion just because he has been a useful nanny in a noble family for several years.
Aunt Lin glanced at the petite little master next to the burly man. Not surprisingly, she will have to rely on this little girl for her retirement in the future. Of course, she must be very careful and loyal.
"You should also know the situation on my side. When I am in the barracks on weekdays, please take care of my daughter."
Su Aobai is quite satisfied with Mrs. Lin in front of him, but what kind of person he is still depends on how he gets along with him in the future.
"I will definitely take good care of Miss."
Saying that, Mrs. Lin looked at Erniang kindly with a smile.
Su Aobai is tempering his body every night, Erniang undoubtedly earns the most.
After more than a month of metamorphosis, her originally black and yellow complexion now looks quite fair. Her exposed skin was very rough due to the exposure in summer and the cold wind in winter, and there were still many chapped skin on her cheeks. Although it is still not baby skin, it is no different from those young ladies who are pampered by ordinary rich families.
The appearance of the host family is not bad, and with the white covering all ugliness, the second mother now looks like a pretty little girl, and because of the spiritual energy accumulation, she looks extraordinarily agile, with a kind of special temperament.
But those hands, because of the previous years of hard work, have formed thick cocoons, even if there is spiritual washing, the cocoons are only slightly thinner. If you want to completely nourish those hands, I am afraid that you will need to be careful in the next few years maintainance.
But obviously, Su Erniang, who was still thinking about raising pigs, raising chickens and planting jujube trees, would never let her hands rest.
Faced with Mrs. Lin's overtures, Erniang was a little shy and at a loss.
On the way here, my father said that when he practiced in the military camp in the future, there would be a woman who would accompany her at home, and that woman would be responsible for handling some trivial matters at home, and she could let that woman do it if he had anything to do.
Father also told her, if that woman is not good, don't contradict her, and tell him when father returns from the military camp.
Erniang didn't live in such a servant girl who served others. In her impression, most of the older women in the village were fierce, so she was quite worried on the way here.
But now it seems that this mother-in-law seems to be very kind, making people unconsciously lower their vigilance.
The most excited thing now is Er Niang. She has grown up so much, and she has never lived in such a nice house.
The houses in this alley are all of the same shape, almost uniform blue bricks and gray tiles, and the wood of the gates is covered with tung oil, which looks bright red and bright, not to mention grand.
Knowing that the little master is a girl, Mrs. Lin specially asked the carpenter to build a dressing table and two large wardrobes in her room. When she was at home, only Fubao had such treatment. Erniang looked at her beautiful room, touched the carvings on the dressing table, and was reluctant to come out of the room.
The little girl unloaded her luggage from the carriage and put them one by one in her room.
These are her treasures, the silk flowers and red strings that her father bought her, and when she went to the market before departure, her father bought her an extremely beautiful hairpin strung with millet beads.
There is a very delicate makeup box on the dressing table, each drawer can put a lot of hairpin jewelry, but Erniang's treasures are not so many, each of her things occupies a grid, and there are still several empty .
She didn't want to fill these grids greedily, just like playing, she opened a drawer, looked at the hairpin quietly placed inside, then closed this drawer, and opened another...
She has been playing this kind of game for a long time, and she still doesn't feel bored.
It was not until Mrs. Lin came to the door and said that there were guests at home that Erniang reluctantly stopped the game.
*****
The visitors were the family members of several centurions who lived next door to the lodging house.
One is Liu Shi, the wife of centurion Yang Yong, and the other is the old lady and sister-in-law of centurion Xu Dazhu. Under the banner of the same commander.
In addition to these two, there is Wang Shi, the wife of Mr. Xu who lives on the right side of the house. The three families probably came here after discussing it. It happened that it was almost time for lunch, and they all brought their own homemade dishes. A pot of vegetables.
The centurion is not a high-ranking official, and these family members usually live better than ordinary people, so there are not too many rules. When visiting new neighbors, it is not impolite to bring a pot of home-made dishes. .
What's more embarrassing is that the Su family has no female family members who can be the head of the family. It's always a bit inappropriate for Su Aobai, an old man, and Er Niang, a young girl, to entertain guests.
"This is the daughter of the centurion, she looks so cute."
When Erniang walked into the main room, she saw a woman with a round face, who looked extraordinarily rich, waving at her.
"My husband's family name is Yang, you can just call me Aunt Yang."
This plump woman is the daughter-in-law of the centurion Yang Yong. At first glance, the other party is the kind of refreshing person, and she looks very energetic.
"I really want to have a daughter, but unfortunately my stomach doesn't live up to expectations. After giving birth to a series of brats, I know how to make me lose my temper. How nice a daughter is, she is cute and makes people hurt. From now on, you can go to my aunt's place if you have nothing to do. Chat with aunt, and aunt will make you sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Yang Liushi was a little curious about this new neighbor's daughter, and felt that this beautiful and well-behaved little girl was very suitable for her eyes, and the new centurion would be her man's colleague in the future, so she and this child got along well. It is better, and it is also convenient for my man to establish a good relationship with this new colleague.
"Chi."
A woman sitting next to Yang Liushi sneered, with sarcasm in her eyes.
This is Chief Xu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang. She looks a little thin and not tall.
Xu Wang felt that this woman Liu Yinghua was putting on too much, and wished that everyone would know that she could give birth to a son. Thinking of this, Xu Wang felt a little sour in her heart.
Liu Yinghua is very famous in this alley. In addition to her bold personality, most military wives get along with her, and because she can give birth to sons, she gave birth to seven sons, named Dawu, Erwu, and Sanwu. ...to Shichibu.
Every time she conceived one, Liu Yinghua puffed her belly and told others that she would definitely give birth to a daughter this time, but when she was born, it turned out to be a son.
Liu Yinghua didn't give up until she gave birth to Qi Wu, and looked at the series of boys saying that she would never give birth again, and if she continued to give birth, she might not be able to support her.
Now the youngest Qiwu is about the same age as Erniang, and he is the toughest kid in this alley.
In contrast, Xu Wang's process of giving birth to a son was more difficult. Her family's Xiaobao was a baby bump that she got after giving birth to the first five daughters. The two almost married their respective men. Coincidentally, the times of several pregnancies were also similar, so whenever Liu Yinghua gave birth to a son and she gave birth to a daughter, Xu Wang would be so angry that she blocked her milk.
Therefore, when Liu Yinghua said that she wanted to have a daughter, Xu Wang thought it was showing off, and thought it might be that Liu Yinghua was talking about her daughter every day, but the mother-in-law who gave her a child was misunderstood and sent the daughter Liu Yinghua asked for to her. In the stomach, so I gave birth to five losers in a row, all of which were caused by Liu Yinghua.
Seeing Liu Yinghua so indifferent to the new centurion's daughter, Xu Wang felt extremely disdainful in her heart.
If she really likes girls so much, there are five in her family, why don't you see her get close to those five girls on weekdays?
As soon as Liu Yinghua heard Xu Wang's chirp, she knew that this narrow-minded woman had fallen ill again.
Xu Wangshi is one of the very few women in this alley who doesn't get along with her, because she likes daughters, Liu Yinghua treated Xu Wangshi's daughters well in the beginning, but this Xu Wangshi pushed her nose and face, When the fifth child of their family was born, before confinement, she came to his house with a baby girl in her arms, saying that since she likes a girl, she will give the child to them to raise.
Not to mention that Liu Yinghua herself gave birth to a series of sons at that time, and it cost a lot of money to eat and drink, but Xu Yang's family has no relatives and no reason. Here, find a family who can't support the child to adopt one.
Because of this incident, Liu Yinghua didn't dare to get too close to the girls born in Xu Wang's family, for fear of being entangled by this mentally ill woman again somehow.
After all, the children are growing up, Liu Yinghua's first few sons should talk about their marriage, and the girls born to Mrs. Xu are also seeing each other. She is too close to those girls, and outsiders think she likes them Those children have become daughters-in-law.
To be honest, as an outsider, she felt pitiful for the girls who had been thrown into Xu Wang's belly, but as a mother, she didn't want the girls taught by Xu Wang to be her daughter-in-law.
"Why didn't you see Madam?"
Xu Wangshi asked Su Aobai blankly, with gossip shining in his eyes.
The hostess of this family didn't show up from the beginning to the end. Is she dead, or was she divorced for something?
"My daughter-in-law was in poor health and died when the child was very young."
Su Aobai didn't hide it either, but he used some tricks.
The child died when he was very young, Er Niang was indeed very young when she was born, there is nothing wrong with that.
If it is directly said that he died of dystocia, it is inevitable that some people will spread some gossip that is not good for the child.
Su Aobai just observed briefly, and he knew the temperament of the neighbors in front of him. The woman who asked him this question now was definitely one of the eight wives who would spread nonsense that he was worried about.
"This... why didn't you find another one? The child is not young anymore, no mother will teach her the rules."
Xu Wang showed a shocked expression, and when she looked at Erniang again, there was a bit of disgust in her eyes, she was almost never married, and her mother and eldest daughter were among them.
She looked at this spacious and elegant courtyard. Although the courtyards in this alley were all of the same shape, there were still differences in size. The house of the host family was very wide, and with only two masters, the house also seemed spacious. many.
Moreover, before Su's family moved in, they sent their mother-in-law to clean it first, which shows that the family is still very well off.
Mrs. Xu Wang didn't see any outsiders at all. She had already started to think in her heart whether there was a girl of the right age in her mother-in-law's family. Anyway, there was only one girl left in front of her. When the time came, she would marry in and have a few sons. The one in front could help with housework and take care of her younger brother. When the time comes to get married, you can earn another dowry money, so you won't suffer anyway.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu wanted to open her mouth to talk about a little cousin of her natal family, who was pretty and age-appropriate.
It's just that Su Aobai interrupted her without waiting for her to speak.
"I have a deep relationship with my wife, and I have no plans to remarry after she leaves."
He made it clear that he didn't want to marry another wife, and at this moment Su Aobai's face was pulled down. It was obvious that what Xu Wang said just now made him very unhappy.
When Su Aobai is not angry, his physique looks fierce and his face is still kind, but when the corners of his mouth are pulled down and his eyes are staring, he looks like Yan Luoxiang in the Ksitigarbha Temple, his eyes are wide open , just looking at you lightly, it makes your hairs stand on end in fright.
Anyway, Xu Wangshi was bluffed, opened his mouth, and forgot to close it for a long time.
It's just that she is still unconvinced in her heart. She doesn't have a son and doesn't want to marry again. Is she planning to end her children and grandchildren? What was the centurion thinking?
"Mrs. Ling is really blessed."
The old lady of the Xu family hurriedly smoothed things over. She felt that Mrs. Xu Wang was stupid and had no interest, and she also felt that there was something wrong with Su Aobai's approach.
If Su Aobai married her daughter, she must feel that this son-in-law is affectionate. If Su Aobai was her son, even if the son hated her, she would have to force him to find another wife and have a son.
But the problem came back, he was not her son, why did she care so much about him.
Therefore, the old lady of Xu's family is very calm, so why bother talking about things she doesn't want to do anyway.
Liu Yinghua also thought similarly, what's wrong with just a girl, when the time comes to set up a female household, and then find a family like theirs that has so many sons that they want to throw them out, wouldn't it be enough to recruit a son-in-law?
Sometimes there is no need to set up a female household. As long as the two families have a tacit understanding, half of the children born to the younger couple will take the father's surname and half the mother's surname, and the incense will still be unbroken.
Xu Wang's mouth is really disgusting, and Liu Yinghua regrets coming to the hostel with her.
"It's getting late, and it's time for those monkeys in my family to come back and ask for a beating. I have to go back and have a look."
Liu Yinghua stood up and said goodbye.
"Girl, come to my aunt's house some other day as a guest, and recognize your face with a few monkeys at my aunt's house, and let them know that you are a little sister. In the future, in these alleys, no one will dare to bully you."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yinghua held Erniang's little hand affectionately.
After feeling the thin calluses of Erniang's palm, she knew that this girl must be hardworking on weekdays. She also thought that the tutoring in this family was really strict. Even though there was a mother-in-law to take care of her, the children had to learn housework from an early age.
But this also made her like the girl in front of her more and more. Who doesn't like a hardworking and sensible child.
The old lady of the Xu family and her eldest daughter-in-law also bid farewell. As for the bowl of food they brought, just send the plate back after eating.
Seeing the behavior of the two families, Xu Wang's face turned blue and white, but he had no choice but to leave.
Su Aobai is the only male owner in this house, so what's the point of her being a married daughter-in-law who stays here alone.
This home visit was really a bad experience for Mrs. Xu.
*****
That afternoon, Su Aobai went to the military camp to report.
The person who met him was the commander of the centurion, Wang Chunmu. Before Su Aobai came, he already had a favorite candidate to succeed the commander of the centurion. Who knew that a parachutist came from the sky and took the position he had promised to leave before.
Originally, Wang Chunmu was still upset, thinking that the person who came must be a relative of some official, and he didn't know if he could carry a knife/gun. Swords and swords are speechless on the battlefield. If this kind of person becomes a centurion, it is tantamount to harming him A soldier under his hand.
However, most of this dissatisfaction disappeared when he saw Su Aobai's big physique. He was as strong as a bear. Even if he had no experience before, he still had the confidence to train people well.
"Have practiced martial arts, do you understand the art of war?"
Wang Chunmu looked at Su Aobai's well-developed chest muscles with admiration, and asked two simple questions.
"I haven't practiced it, but I have great strength. As for the art of war... I haven't studied, and I don't know many words, but my memory is very good."
Chunmu, the king of strength, believed it, but he had a good memory... Maybe it was prejudice. Wang Chunmu believed that he had **** and no brains. With such a big chest, he must have no brains.
"Let's go, go to the camp to compete and let your soldiers see how strong you are as a centurion. During this period of time, Nanjiang is not honest. We have to fight with Nanjiang cubs at any time. Going to the battlefield is not a joke. You If not, I won't let you mess around with my soldiers."
Saying that, Wang Chunmu led Su Aobai out of the tent.
His team had been waiting at the camp for a long time. The team of hundreds of nearly a thousand people was lined up neatly and looked quite imposing.
"This is the new centurion Su Youniu. These few are centurions just like you, Yang Yong, Xu Dazhu, Wang..."
Wang Chunmu introduced him to the seven centurions standing in the forefront, and these few seemed to be stronger than some of the soldiers behind them, both physically and mentally.
"Who will try his hand with this colleague first?"
Wang Chunmu looked at his seven capable generals and asked.
"Why don't you go together, my strength is really a bit strong."
Su Aobai scratched the back of his head with a simple and honest expression.
This remark offended Yang Yong and others, especially Yang Yong. He himself had the same name as him, and he was extremely brave. If he hadn't been limited by his humble status, he wouldn't be a centurion until now.
During the war against southern Xinjiang, he killed more than 70 enemy soldiers by himself, and his whole body was soaked in the enemy's blood. , He didn't even have a weapon in his hand, and he snatched the knife to kill the enemy from the first enemy soldier he killed.
Because of this feat, he made an exception and rewarded him with a lowly status and was included in the ordinary camp. Later, he made repeated military exploits, but was made an exception to cancel his lowly status and was placed in a military household.
If it were someone else, according to Yang Yong's contribution, he would probably be the general manager of more than a thousand households now.
"Okay, let the brothers teach you a lesson, and let you know that fighting on the battlefield is not just about having a good physique."
Yang Yong thought, since this kid wants to be beaten, he should be beaten, just to suppress his arrogance.
So amidst the booing of other soldiers, eight people stood on the ring together, and because they were just sparring, they didn't use weapons.
Seven people attacked Su Aobai at the same time, some on his legs, some on his upper body.
Yang Yong was the fastest. He wanted to shovel Su Aobai down with a sweep of his leg. Unfortunately, when his leg hit it, it was as if he had kicked an iron plate, but Su Aobai remained motionless.
He just grabbed the centurion closest to him by his collar, and then threw him off the ring. There were two punches hitting his chest, and he just grabbed one with each hand, waved his hand, and threw two at the same time.
The fourth, four or five... until he squatted down and threw the last Yang Yong out.
It's easy, they resisted and struggled, as if they were just tickling him, and there was no threat at all.
"boom-"
Yang Yong was thrown to the ground hard, his head buzzing.
He looked at the honest man on the stage who was still smiling. Is this the end? Shouldn't you come and fight with me for dozens of rounds, each suffer some injuries, and then admire the strength of the other party, so that it's over?
QAQ bullies people with strength, no martial arts!
Does he know how to be polite!
The author has something to say:
