The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 274 Changning Godson
Seeing her son bowed his head and remained silent, Princess Changning knew that he had listened to her own words, so she smiled gratifiedly, patted his hand and said, "It's not because of my mother that I deliberately want them to think badly, it's just that the world is impermanent. Now Mao Brothers and the others are still young, so you think there is nothing wrong with them, but they will grow up one day. At that time, the children will have their own ideas, and there is no guarantee that they will not turn against each other for titles and family wealth, so we have to plan ahead , so as not to regret it in the future.”

"But what did your son do wrong?" Mu Xu sensed that his mother seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly.

Princess Changning didn't answer, but instead asked, "I heard that Mrs. Xue is in charge of our house's internal affairs, and you agreed?"

Mu Xu was taken aback, not knowing why her mother asked this question, but she nodded to confirm, "That's right, mother also knows that Yu'er has a high temper and never cares about those mundane affairs, just as Baochai is used to doing it at home." These, so I simply handed over all these things to her, but she didn't manage well and made my mother angry?"

Princess Changning denied, "No, on the contrary, Xue's management is very good. I have been back for a few days, butler Wu and the others have praised him in front of me."

"Then what did mother mean just now?"

Seeing Mu Xu's puzzled face, Princess Changning shook her head and sighed, "Oh, let me tell you what's good about you. Like your father, your thoughts are all on the outside, but you never put your mind on the inner house." Even so said, but she still opened the doorway of the inner house and explained it carefully to her son,
"It's nothing for you to ask Xue's housekeeper, but the mistake is that you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. Take Yu'er as an example. Even if she doesn't want to take care of those trivial things, she should control the general direction by herself. Every day, I need to listen to the opinions of those in charge of the house. Otherwise, for a long time, will there be people who will listen to her in the future?"

After thinking about it, Mu Xu realized that what his mother said was right, but he was still unconvinced, "Then mother should tell Yu'er about this, why did you tell me?"

"Hmph, of course I told Yu'er, and she also assured me that she would not be careless in the future. The reason why I still tell you is because you are also responsible." Seeing that her son was not convinced, Princess Changning used Pointing his forehead with his finger, he asked, "Let me ask you, do you mean that you don't like rules and advocate a bowl of water should be level?"

"Yeah, I think it's a good idea. In this way, there will be fewer conflicts." Mu Xu replied eloquently.

"Where did you learn these fallacies, and the rules passed down from your ancestors are so out of your sight?"

Faced with his mother's questioning, Mu Xu certainly couldn't say that he learned these things in his previous life, so he could only talk about it and said, "No matter where you learned it from, I think it's more humane for everyone to get along like this, otherwise we will be polite all day long. Come and go, act like a stranger."

Princess Changning couldn't help covering her forehead, "Blame me, I never taught you how to be the head of a family when I saw you were smart and clever when I was a child."
"Your method is only suitable for people with a simple population, but it is completely inapplicable for high-ranking families. As you said yourself, you want a bowl of water to be level, and the mother asked you, how do you make a bowl of water level? You You can't do this at all, just like Yu'er is the main wife, Xue Shi and the others are concubines, can you make them all your main wives? From the day they entered our house, they are doomed to have different identities, If you really give them the same treatment, it will only make some people have unrealistic fantasies."

"Taking a step back, they are all your wives and concubines. It doesn't matter how you like to get along with them in private. After all, it is your private matter. But what Mao Geer and the others say, you will definitely not only have him and An Geer in the future , do you want a bowl of water to be flat, can you still let them all inherit the throne in the future?"

Mu Xu replied honestly that he couldn't. After his mother's lecture, he already knew that his thinking in the past was wrong, and he shouldn't bring the thinking of the previous life into this life.

Princess Changning seemed to be determined to teach her son a lesson today, so even though she already had the intention of admitting her mistake, she still refused to give up, "You know you can't, so what are you talking about, you have to treat all children equally, teach They love each other. With your teaching method, it’s okay for a child to have a good personality, but if they have a bad temper, they must not fight for the title? Instead of doing that, it’s better to let them know the difference between the concubine and the concubines from an early age. Have expectations for things that don't belong to you."

Mu Xu got up and bowed deeply to his mother, and said shamelessly, "Thank you mother for waking the child up, I will definitely not do it again in the future."

Seeing that her son did not disappoint her painstaking efforts, although Princess Changning was satisfied in her heart, she said, "You don't think mother is troublesome, just Amitabha."

Mu Xu didn't know how to say it, and leaned close to his mother to be a child. The mother and son soon started talking and laughing again. During the period, Princess Changning sighed, "I am very satisfied with Yu'er, only I just feel that she is not competent enough to be a big wife. Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on her. Her mother-in-law left early, and her father-in-law kindly sent her to his mother-in-law. He wanted her to learn how to run the house, but who would have thought that The old lady of the Jia family didn't teach anything?"

"Since mother is worried, let's spend more time to teach Yu'er. She will definitely be willing to learn, after all, she often talks about you on weekdays." Mu Xu took the opportunity to suggest.

"This...let me think about it."

Seeing that his mother hesitated, Mu Xu insisted, "Mother doesn't want to spend more time with Brother Mao and the others at home. Jin'er and An'er are still young, but Brother Mao knows someone. If mother just comes and goes like this Hurry up, next time he comes back he will not remember you."

Hearing this, and thinking about her grandson like a snow dumpling, Princess Changning finally let go, "Forget it, I will write to your father and tell him that I want to stay in Beijing for a longer time."

Seeing that her mother was persuaded by herself, Mu Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed, but she would not be happy the next moment, because Princess Changning suddenly said something else, "Look at my memory, I still have something to ask you, you and What happened to your cousin?"

Mu Xu was startled, and hurriedly pretended to be calm, "What's the matter? She and I are cousins, but... I just saw that she suffered a lot in the past, so I just take care of her more on weekdays." .”

How could Princess Changning believe this? She stared at Mu Xu with deep meaning, and said after a while, "You crawled out of your mother's womb. Do you think your mother can't tell if what you said is true or not?"

Mu Xu was speechless immediately, and could only put on an appearance of bowing his head and admitting his mistake, letting his mother handle it.If it happened to her husband, then Princess Changning would never let it go, but it is another matter if it happened to her son, so she just reminded angrily, "You'd better be more cautious in doing things, if this is going to cause trouble If you open it, your father will definitely break your leg, and neither mother nor your grandmother will be able to protect you."

"Yes, yes, what the mother taught is that the son must remember it in his heart." Mu Xu replied awkwardly, and then he said in surprise, "Mother has only been back for a few days, how did I know it, but that bastard Yang An Betrayed me?"

Princess Changning didn't want to give an unexpected answer, "It wasn't your servant, it was Yu'er who told me."

"What!" Mu Xu was dumbfounded for a while, and then asked in puzzlement for a long time, "How could Yu'er know, she never asked me?"

"She's saving face for you. Do you think everything will be fine as long as you do it without anyone noticing it? Then you underestimate the world, especially Yu'er, the person next to your pillow."
