Chapter 19 The male protagonist is a cousin
A cup of tea was held up by a slender hand. Gu Wenjing, who was sitting next to the stone table in the pavilion, took a sip of the tea. It felt a bit hot, so he put it down.
With the gentle breeze, Gu Wenjing was enjoying a rare holiday.
At this time, a vague giggling sound of a child was heard. Gu Wenjing looked sideways and saw Cheng Yuhua coming with his toddler Gu Zhenghong.
Gu Zhenghong's little friend also saw Gu Wenjing sitting in the pavilion, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Dad! Dad!"
Then Gu Zhenghong's little friend spread his mother's hand and ran towards his father. Before he could learn how to walk, he wanted to run, so he naturally fell down after tripping under his feet.
Cheng Yuhua and the maids and mothers were both shocked and rushed forward to help the little ancestor.
Gu Wenjing stood up and stopped: "No support is allowed!"
Cheng Yuhua's hand reached out and looked at Gu Wenjing in surprise.
Gu Wenjing walked out of the pavilion and walked not far from Gu Zhenghong's little friend. He squatted down and clapped his hands at him, and said in a gentle voice: "Hong'er, come, get up by yourself and come to my father."
Gu Zhenghong's little friend had fallen and wanted to cry, but after being interrupted by Gu Wenjing, he forgot to cry. He blinked his eyes, and smiled and got up and rushed into Gu Wenjing's arms in two steps: "Dad!"
Gu Wenjing picked him up, weighed the little fat man's son who was holding a little heavy, and gently preached to him: "Hong'er, you are already a big child now. You have to learn to walk by yourself, and you have to get up by yourself if you fall down. You did a great job just now, dad is so happy." As he said that, he kissed the little fat man in his arms with a reward.
Gu Zhenghong's little friend patted Xiaoshou happily and smiled very happily.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Yuhua also understood that Gu Wenjing didn't let her help her son up just now, not because she became less caring about her son, but was educating her son.
She walked to the father and son with a smile and said, "Hong'er is still close to you, husband. When she sees your father, she will forget my mother."
Gu Wenjing smiled and said, "That's because I have less time at home, and Hong'er misses her father."
Gu Wenjing is quite satisfied with Cheng Yuhua now. After Gu Zhenghong was born, Cheng Yuhua always maintained the reserved attitude towards his children and had to take care of the rules and etiquette for his intimacy. But wherever the children knew about those, he would naturally get close to him whoever was intimate with him. So in the end, Gu Zhenghong was far from getting close to her, the mother who was busy with official duties every day, as he was Gu Wenjing, who could only meet a little time every day.
The child's closeness to his father and mother was so much worse. Compared with Gu Wenjing, Cheng Yuhua naturally realized that the child was not close enough to her, so she also gave up her identity and played with the child. Gradually, the child became closer to her.
This change in Cheng Yuhua was naturally very pleased in Gu Wenjing's eyes. He hoped that his son could have complete fatherly and motherly love, rather than like the original owner, the impression of his mother in memory was to be polite and caring when paying respects, and the impression of his father was to be sometimes severe and sometimes gentle in the exam. Apart from this, there was nothing worth remembering.
However, Gu Wenjing is pampering his children, and when he really wants to educate his children, he will never relax because of heartache. He still understands the principle that drowning children is like killing children.
Therefore, although Gu Zhenghong's little friend is young, he is smart and clever, and he is gentle and will not be arrogant and willful because of his love.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gu Wenjing held the child and sat in the pavilion with Cheng Yuhua and chatted about homework.
He especially likes to hear Cheng Yuhua describe his son's situation when he was not at home. In the past, the couple rarely had a common language. After having children, their topic centered on the children, and there were endless things to say, so the relationship between the couple gradually became closer.
As Cheng Yuhua spoke, he talked about Fang, the wife of Gu Wenjing's brother Gu Shaoping, who was newly married to Gu Wenjing,: "The younger brother and sister are so soft-hearted that they don't even control their servants, and the second brother is not tough. The couple lives a bad life."
Before, she was caught by her servants because they bullied Fang's head. She had to interfere in the affairs of the sister-in-law's room and dealt with the servant.
Gu Wenjing frowned slightly. Gu Shaoping just married at the beginning of this year. How long has Fang been married? The servants dared to climb onto her?
"Maybe it's because my younger brother and sister are not from a high school and dare not take care of the servants of the Marquis' Mansion."
Gu Wenjing could only guess this way that Yuan had always had only face to be a concubine, so of course he would not find a wife from a wealthy family for Gu Shaoping, so the Fang family she married for Gu Shaoping was just a legitimate daughter from a fifth-rank official family. Most of the servants in the Marquis's family gave birth to children, and their relationship was mixed. Not to mention the wife of Fang, a concubine's daughter-in-law, even Cheng Yuhua, the eldest daughter of Shangshu's family, was the wife of the prince when she got married, and she still suffered some losses from some servants who were born.
However, Gu Wenjing was the prince of the Hou Mansion, the foregone conclusion and believed in the wife of Cheng Yuhua, so with his support, the servants of the great ancestors were punished strongly by Cheng Yuhua, laying the majesty of her prince's wife.
Fang's family was not treated so well. She was not from a high family and her husband was not useful. The relationship between the couple was still average. She had a unstable foothold in the Marquis' Mansion, and it was not surprising that she was treated as a soft persimmon by the Marquis' servants.
Gu Wenjing had long been dissatisfied with the family children of the Hou Mansion, which had a complicated relationship. He could see through many servants' corruption tricks at a glance. However, after he mentioned it to Yuan and Ningyuan Hou, they didn't care much about it. After all, those borers were once in love with them, either the wet nurse or the servants and maids who had served for many years.
He had not yet become the head of the Marquis' Mansion, so he naturally did not have any trouble touching the people around his parents. He could only remember the small notebook silently and wait until he inherited the Marquis' Mansion in the future to deal with it.
Cheng Yuhua shook her head slightly and said, "I don't think it's because her younger brother and sister are not from a high-class background, but because she is too soft-hearted. Maybe it's because she is the original wife's daughter, but her biological mother went there early and she made a living under her stepmother's hands, so she developed such a soft-hearted personality."
Gu Wenjing sighed slightly, why did Yuan choose such a wife for Gu Shaoping? If the couple split up in the future, the couple would be weak and the other would be weak, how could they establish a family?
Little did she know that after Gu Shaoping married Fang, she regretted it. She really didn't expect that Fang, as the legitimate daughter, had a similar personality to the concubine's daughter, and had never received any serious teachings at all. It was also because she was not caring about Gu Shaoping's marriage and did not investigate the situation carefully. It was useless to regret it now.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When he went to the main room to pay tribute to Yuan in the evening, Gu Wenjing mentioned Fang: "I shouldn't say this, but my second brother's mother also knew that if my younger brother and sister were too weak, they would not even be able to suppress their servants in the future. I would still have to bother my mother to teach her."
Yuan was upset when he thought of Gu Shaoping and Fang, but since his son mentioned it, he thought that after the family was separated in the future, he would not let the illegitimate child cause trouble for Gu Wenjing, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will teach her well."
After a pause, Yuan said again: "Wen Jing, do you still remember your aunt?"
Gu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and searched through the original owner's memory before remembering: "I didn't send my aunt to Yuzhou with my uncle, and I haven't returned to Beijing for many years."
Yuan is the eldest daughter of the family. She has a younger brother and a concubine. However, the concubine's mother died early and was raised by her mother since she was a child. She grew up with Yuan and had a good relationship. Now that her younger brother died young, Yuan also missed her only sister more.
Yuan's concubine married a new Jinshi named Peng, who was then, and later she was released from her husband and had not returned to Beijing for nearly ten years. Gu Wenjing searched for information about this aunt from the original owner's memory, which was pitiful. The original owner had only seen this aunt a few times when he was young.
Yuan said, "Your aunt has a cousin named Peng Sheng. She has already passed the imperial examination and plans to come to Beijing to take the imperial examination next year. This year, I will keep your cousin in the mansion. You can also give me some advice if you get free."
Gu Wenjing is now slowly starting to take over the Gu family's connections from Ningyuan Hou, and in-laws are naturally the top priority. He also knows that his uncle has already taken the position of a fourth-rank prefect in Yuzhou, and there is only one legitimate son and one concubine's daughter under the knees of the prefect. The cousin Yuan said should be Peng Sheng, the legitimate son of his uncle, the prefect Peng.
Because the Peng family is far away in Yuzhou, they will have ceremonial relations with the Hou Mansion except for New Year or special days, and they don’t have much contact with each other. Gu Wenjing has never even met Peng Sheng, a cousin.
But they are all in-laws, and the Peng family is not a bad relative. Peng Sheng was also talented when he was young, so Gu Wenjing would naturally not be stingy with help. "Don't worry, mother, when my cousin comes, my son will take good care of him."
Peng Sheng entered Beijing quite early, probably by the water route. Gu Wenjing received the news and took a half-day off to pick up people at the dock that day.
Seeing a young man in brocade clothes walking down from the boat under the banner of the Peng family, Qing Yan next to Gu Wenjing went up and asked, "Is this young man Mr. Peng?"
The young man in brocade nodded, and Qingyan said again: "The youngest one is from the Marquis of Ningyuan. My prince is waiting for Young Master Peng!" Qingyan guided Peng Sheng.
When he came to Gu Wenjing, Peng Sheng bowed and said, "I have met my cousin."
Gu Wenjing smiled and held his arm: "Don't be too polite, my mother has long been looking forward to your entry into Beijing. When she received your letter, she urged me to pick you up."
Peng Sheng said politely: "I am worried about it when I am here in a hurry, but I am worried that my cousin will come to pick it up in person."
Gu Wenjing smiled and politely agreed to him, but he observed the character of this cousin without any trace in his heart. He still couldn't see anything else for the time being, at least Peng Sheng was fine when dealing with people.
The author has something to say: Although this article is a fast-travel article, in fact, every time the protagonist travels through time, he will marry and have children in a world and live to the end of his life, which is equivalent to starting a new life.
Therefore, you will write slowly and warm up everyday, so don’t worry. Some readers will report that they want to read the career line of the male protagonist, and they will write it later.
The main theme of this article is-
#What is the experience of boyfriend/husband helping to learn green tea?
#Men can control themselves, but mistress can't interfere#
#On the importance of men's sense of responsibility in the family#
I searched many stories about green tea and mistresses shared by netizens on the Internet, which really refreshed the three views! It has no moral bottom line and is super disgusting! It is justified to destroy other people's families!
Those scumbags are also very hateful. I am so angry in many stories that I wish to wish the scumbags and Green Tea to stay away from harming honest people forever.
Chapter completed!
