Poor Family Chapter 227

  In the living room of Yixiang Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Shi Da, Mr. and Mrs. Shi Wu, Mr. and Mrs. Shi Qi are all there. This time, Mr. and Mrs. Shi Dingrong and Mrs. Shi Dinghong who are also married are also called over.

  Master Shi and Mrs. Shi were in the inner room and did not come out.

   The fact that Shi Zhengkun took the Li family to Beijing really caught the Shi family by surprise.

   Originally, Zhengkun's family and Zhenghe's family were at odds, but now that the Li family is here, the relationship between the two families may become more tense.

  They were caught in the middle, it was very embarrassing.

  Shi Dinghong looked at the worried parents, as well as the silent fifth and seventh uncles, and said in puzzlement, "We don't have to worry about Uncle Zheng Kun bringing Li's family to Beijing. We don't need to make such a fuss."

  Shi Da Furen glanced at her second son: "Don't talk if you don't understand."

  Seeing his mother staring at him, Shi Dinghong pursed his lips and swallowed the words in his mouth.

Mrs. Shi saw that Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi hadn't come out for a long time, she couldn't help but sighed: "Zhengkun is too ignorant this time, and everyone came to Beijing to tell the family. It's no wonder that father and mother are angry. .”

  Master Shi and Mrs. Shi were indeed angry, no, to be precise, they were sad.

In the inner room, Mrs. Shi looked at the old man who was frowning tightly, and sighed: "Actually, this is also good." Seeing his wife looking over, "It's hard to have both in the world. It's gratifying to have both the adopted son and the parent-child, but the facts have proved that It's impossible, and now it's time for us to make a choice."

  The old man was a little unwilling: "Thirty years of hard work."

Mrs. Shi is also a little sad. For Shi Zhengkun, the Shi family paid more than just money: "Zhengkun has separated from us, but if he still regards us as his parents in his heart, he will not accept the matter of taking the Li family to Beijing." Will you discuss it with us?"

   "Since this is the case, we can no longer hurt Zhenghe's heart for him."

  Shi was silent for a long time, then nodded: "In the future, the mansion should not communicate with him."

  At this moment, Nanny An's voice sounded from outside.

  Seeing Nanny An came back, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi got up and left the inner room. They went to the living room. Seeing that Shi Zhenghe and Mrs. Jin didn't come, they looked at each other and were a little silent.

  Shi the old man asked aloud: "Why didn't the fourth brother and the fourth younger sister come?"

  Nurse An replied: "I haven't seen the fourth master and the fourth wife." Then, she said exactly what Shi Dingxuan said.

  After hearing this, Elder Shi felt a little headache: "Why is this, we are all one family!"

  When the eldest lady glanced at her husband, her eyes flickered slightly.

  The family is just what they like to see; the family of the fourth brother has never accepted the Zhengkun family.

  However, she also understands her husband's mood, and even has the same thoughts as her husband.

The fourth younger brother's family, Wulang and Jiulang have a bright future, and they can bring a lot of help to the family. Even the confidante Xin's smile can also help the girls at home. The girls in the family marry well, and they will also belong to the Shi family in the future help.

   As for Zhengkun, it's not without merit.

  Since the daughter of the Zeng family was pregnant with the dragon species, the Zeng family has been on the rise, and Zheng Kun has also benefited from it. He has been promoted from a sixth-rank Hanlin editor to a fifth-rank Hanlin bachelor, and his future is not much worse.

  For them, of course, the two families must maintain it well, which is more conducive to the development of Bofu.

  However, this is simply impossible.

   In the past, for the sake of parents, the fourth brother's family and Zheng Kun's family could still live in peace. Now that the Li family came, the two families were completely torn apart.

  After the old man was silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "In the future, Zhengkun's side, let's have less contact with our family."

  Hearing this, Mr. Shi and the others immediately looked at each other.

  They have never been in contact with the Li family, nor have they experienced the harsh treatment Shi Zhenghe suffered. Therefore, when it comes to the Li family's entry into Beijing, they are actually more of a spectator mentality.

  Everyone is selfish and wants to have both.

  The Zeng family is in the limelight. To be honest, no one wants to lose this relative, and they also feel that there is no need for things to go this far.

  Shi Fifth Master immediately said: "Father, isn't it a bit too much to do this, it's fine if the fourth brother's family and Zheng Kun's family don't communicate, we don't need to do this?"

  Shi the old lady glanced at the concubine, too lazy to speak.

  The **** is a little clever, but he will never choose.

  The Li family came to Beijing, and they had to return to Zhengkun's house. With Sister Xin's temperament, it is estimated that the Hongyanxiao branch will take it back directly.

  Shi's old man was also aware of the bastard's shortcomings, and his face darkened: "Why, you don't listen to me anymore?"

  Hearing this, Master Shi Wu didn't dare to say more.

  He is a **** son, and most of everything he has now is given by the uncle's house, so he doesn't want to annoy his father because of Shi Zhengkun.

  Others saw that the fifth master hit a wall when they saw it, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything more.

   Come again, when discussing life in the capital, everyone is realistic, and the balance of interests is greater than feelings.

  Nowadays, the family of the fourth brother (fourth brother) brings more benefits to the family, so they naturally favor their family.

   Shi Dinghong, who hasn't experienced many things, likes reciting poems and composing Fu most. He has been very close to Shi Zhengkun since he was a child, and hurriedly said: "Grandfather, why do you want to do this?"

   "It's a matter of course for children to be filial to their parents. What's wrong with Uncle Zhengkun bringing his biological parents to the capital?"

   "Could it be that because the fourth uncle's family is unhappy, we have to sever ties with Uncle Zhengkun?"

   "Why?"

   "Fourth Uncle and the others are so unreasonable and overbearing, why, now everyone in the uncle's house has to look at the face of their family?"

   "Speaking of which, the Li family even raised the fourth uncle. It is simply unfilial and unrighteous for him to do so."

   "Shut up!" Mrs. Shi yelled directly, and glared at Shi Dinghong: "You read the book into the stomach of a dog, you are a junior, do you ever say that about your fourth uncle?"

Shi Dinghong muttered: "When the sixth younger sister contradicted the second aunt, her words were much harsher than mine, and I didn't see your mother scolding her, I just expressed my opinion, do I need to get so angry? "

"you"

  Shi was very angry: "In the future, you are not allowed to run to Baishun Street, and let me study at home behind closed doors."

  Shi Dinghong still wanted to refute, but was stopped by Shi Dingrong: "Second brother, see how angry you are with mother?" He winked at his younger brother while talking.

  Shi Dinghong didn't continue to reply.

  The old man looked at his second grandson, frowned slightly, and waved his hands to let everyone disperse.

   After the people left, Mrs. Shi spoke out to comfort her: "The grandchildren have grown up and have their own ideas. The children and grandchildren have their own children's and grandchildren's clothes. Let them go."

  Shi the old man sighed: "Fortunately, Dingrong is a sensible person."

  At the West Corner Gate of Bo's Mansion, Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin watched Shi Zhenghe get on his horse and go off as an errand, and they turned around and walked towards the backyard after they walked away.

  Shi Fuyin was a little worried: "I see that Dad is very preoccupied."

  Shi Fuxin: "Father was scared by the Li family. He was worried that if they came, it would be bad for us."

  Shi Fuyin's face turned cruel and said: "If the Li family dares to bully father again, I want them to look good."

  Shi Fuxin smiled contemptuously: "If they want to bully us, they have to have that ability." After a pause, "When I found out that the daughter of the Zeng family was pregnant, I had a premonition that the Li family's family would cause trouble, and it turned out to be exactly as I expected."

  Shi Fuyin frowned: "I guess I feel confident."

  Shi Fuxin let out a 'huh': "There are so many adult princes, do you really think you are pregnant with a golden bump?"

   As soon as the words fell, the two sisters heard footsteps. Looking back, they saw Shi Yuhua returning home with her maid.

   "The second aunt came back early enough, is she here to be a lobbyist for Shi Zhengkun?"

   "The second aunt has always been very concerned about Shi Zhengkun's family. Sister, the second aunt probably doesn't want to see us either, so let's avoid it."

   Saying that, Shi Fuxin directly pulled Shi Fuyin away.

  When Shi Yuhua saw that the two ignored her as an elder, she was very angry: "A wild girl is a wild girl, something that has no rules!"

  Shi Fuyin followed Shi Fuxin to Lanyue Tower: "What do you think grandparents will do this time?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled: "Our family's grandparents are amazing. They know who is beneficial to the Bofu, and they know how to choose."

  Shi Fuyin was not very relieved: "But before, my grandparents wanted our family to get along with the Li family."

  Shi Fuxin: "That's because our family and Shi Zhengkun's family didn't have any real antagonisms, but it's different after the Li family came to Beijing."

   "The oppression and harsh treatment of father by the Li family is an eternal heartache in our family. Grandparents know this and cannot be reconciled."

   Sure enough, Shi Yuhua left angrily after returning home for less than an hour.

  That evening, Shi Zhengkun brought Zeng Yuwei to Bo's Mansion again.

  As soon as the two arrived, they knelt down immediately.

   Mrs. Shi asked Mrs. Shi to take Zeng Yuwei away, leaving Shi Zhengkun alone to talk for a while.

   "Mother, my son made a mistake. It was because my son didn't think carefully about taking Li's family to Beijing. I beg you and father to forgive my son this time."

  Looking at Shi Zhengkun who was panicking and anxiously kneeling in front of her to admit his mistake, Mrs. Shi's eyes were very complicated. Thinking of every little bit of teaching him to read and write when she was a child, she couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head.

   "Zhengkun, mother understands what you did, so I don't blame you."

  Shi Zhengkun looked at Mrs. Shi, a little stunned and a little happy.

  Shi the old lady sighed and continued: "The bad words hurt people, mother knows that since the news about you and Zhenghe Baocuo got out, you have received a lot of criticism and you have been under a lot of pressure."

  Hearing these words, mist appeared in Shi Zhengkun's eyes, it turned out that his mother knew everything he had suffered.

  Old Madam Shi: "As a son of man, you don't have to worry about eating and clothing in the capital, and you don't have to worry about calling your servants, but your biological father and mother are far away at the border and have no food to eat. You must be very tormented."

   "Again, you are in the Imperial Academy. Most people in the Imperial Academy use benevolence, filial piety and etiquette to flaunt themselves, and they all call themselves gentlemen."

   "The gap between the Li family and the uncle's house, someone must use this to seriously hurt you, mother can imagine how they will talk about you."

   "The Bo mansion is rich and noble, but the Li family is poor. If you choose the Bo mansion, then you hate the poor and love the rich."

   "If you don't recognize your biological parents because of poverty, how can you be worthy of being a human being, how can you be worthy of being an official?"

   "Whether it's to make yourself feel better, or to avoid being misunderstood by outsiders, you need to bring your biological parents to your side."

   "Mother understands all this."

  Shi Zhengkun burst into tears: "Mother."

  Shi old lady clapped his hands: "Son, you have to understand mother."

  Shi Zhengkun looked at Mrs. Shi in a daze.

  Lady Shi: "You love your biological father and mother, and your mother loves her son too. Can you understand how mother feels?"

  The harsh treatment of Zhenghe by the Li family was also a thorn in her heart.

  Shi Zhengkun showed panic: "Mother, I."

  Shi the old lady sighed: "When Zheng and his family left the border, they broke up with your biological father and mother. If you are not forced to a dead end, no one would do such a heartless and righteous thing."

   "Mother knows that the grievances between them have nothing to do with you, but now that you have brought the Li family into Beijing, they have become your responsibility."

  Shi Zhengkun lowered his head in pain, crying silently.

  At that time, the eyes of the old lady were also a little red, and she choked up and said: "My child, since your biological parents have come to you, you should not come to the uncle's house in the future, so as not to make them feel bad."

  Shi Zhengkun raised his head quickly, and said in disbelief: "Mother, don't you want me?"

  Shi the old lady looked at him: "Now you have a family and a bright future, and there is nothing in the manor to teach you. Now that you have made a decision, you have to bear the consequences."

   "Your father and I don't blame you. No matter what you want to do in the future, you don't need to come to inform the mansion."

  Shi Zhengkun really panicked: "Mother, my son can't live without you, big brother and them."

  Shi the old lady patted his hand: "Since you entered the Imperial Academy, there is nothing that the Bo mansion can do to help you. You have to walk your own way, you have to believe in yourself."

  Shi Zhengkun looked at Mrs. Shi who had made up her mind, and knew that no matter what he said, there was no room for maneuver. He kowtowed three times to Mrs. Shi in grief, and then rushed out of the room without looking back.

  Watching him walk away, tears also fell from the corners of Madam Shi's eyes.

   After all, we have reached this point!

  Shi Zhengkun's eyes were red and swollen when he left the mansion, which soon spread throughout the various courtyards of the Bo mansion.

   "I didn't expect grandpa and grandma to really order the mansion not to associate with Shi Zhengkun's family." Shi Fuyin sighed a little.

  Shi Fuxin's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandpa and grandma are still very decisive in major matters." As she spoke, she burst out laughing.

  Shi Fuyin looked over: "What are you laughing at?"

  Shi Fuxin: "I'm laughing at Shi Zhengkun. The Li family is a bunch of greedy and lazy vampires. He recruited them to Beijing, and he will have a good life in the future."

  When Fuyin thought of the virtues of the Li family, she couldn't help shaking her head.

  In the outer city, Fenglefang, a courtyard with three entrances, the Li family is still immersed in the joy and excitement of entering Beijing.

  Master Li and Mrs. Li imitated the appearance of the biggest official they had ever seen, the Yizhan Yicheng, and sat on the owner's seat in a stable manner, looking satisfied and proud.

   "Without me, how could our family have such a good life today."

  Mother Li raised her eyebrows and glanced at Father Li, as if asking for credit.

  Papa Li cherished the exquisite tea bowl he had never seen before. He didn't answer, but said: "The Changsen family is also in the capital. Will we cause trouble for our son?"

  Ms. Li snorted immediately: "How can that white-eyed wolf Li Changsen be compared with our son? Our son can pinch him to death with one finger, but he still wants to cause trouble. Does he have the ability?"

  Father Li thinks about it too. The eldest son was raised with care by the uncle's house, while Li Changsen can't read a single word from a few military households. There is a huge gap between the two.

  Looking at the courtyard, the three sons with their daughter-in-law choosing a room, and the grandchildren playing and playing in the courtyard, Father Li stopped thinking about Li Changsen's family, and concentrated on enjoying the comfortable life at the moment.

   "Father, mother, it is worth dying to live in such a nice house in this life."

   "What nonsense are you talking about, what's not going to die, our good life has just begun."

   "That is, the capital is so prosperous, with so many delicious, beautiful, and interesting things, I want to live a long life."

   "The things in the capital are good, but they are a bit expensive."

   "What's the matter? We have an elder brother. The elder brother is a high-ranking official in the Imperial Academy. With him, how can we still starve us? Let's just enjoy our happiness."

  When Shi Zhengkun stepped into the yard, he heard this, and instinctively frowned.

   "Son, you are here!"

   Father Li and Mrs. Li looked at Shi Zhengkun with joy on their faces. Although the rest of the Li family were a little cautious, they all looked at him eagerly.

   Facing the eager eyes of his relatives, Shi Zhengkun was a little stunned.

  Scenes like this should be warm and happy, but why is he not happy at all? Not only is he unhappy, but he also feels a little uncomfortable?

   This confusion was solved by Shi Zhengkun after getting in touch with the Li family for a period of time.

  Why didn't he feel the warmth of family members from the Li family?

  There is no other reason. Because of the pressure, the Li family put all their expectations on him and relied on him. The pressure is too great.
