husband and wife

Chapter 180

Two days after Song Ziheng returned to Songjia Village, Mrs. Su came over. Last time Song Ziheng had a banquet at Zhongju, she also came, and she was a little worried when she came. The Song family usually treats their daughter well. I don't know what to say, in the final analysis, it's not that the Song family was inferior to their Su family at that time, selling wine, and the son-in-law and grandchildren all went to study in the county. How could it not be the credit of her daughter and her Su family?Seeing that their Su family has helped so much, the in-laws don't even have to talk about their children so early.

Who would have expected her son-in-law to be so capable, she won the Qiuwei exam for the first time, and her ranking was still so high, even the wives who knew her said this when they got together, there was a young talent in the county, all these Don't you know if you have a little face?Even the county magistrate met him personally, and he was very happy. He just waited for the Jinshi examination next year, and the county magistrate would be evaluated at that time, at least he would have something more to write about.

In a small county town, the county magistrate is a big official. Su Wan once brought a steamer that the magistrate’s wife liked to eat, and gave it to Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su to eat it once. We must have a stove in our house. It’s one thing to eat delicious food. The main thing is to have face when you talk about it. They eat the same food as the magistrate’s wife!
So at this moment, the county magistrate is fond of someone, and the whole county will pull this person out to say a few words. Others say that he is just joining in the fun, and Wu Xiucai's wife is a knowledgeable woman. In the Beijing Examination, he is also very sure that he will be named on the Gold List. People say that this kind of young talent is from our county, so don't you mention our current county magistrate?Maybe the county magistrate will be remembered well by those adults in Beijing because of this, can he not be happy?
It was only now that Mrs. Su knew that her son-in-law was an extraordinary person, and he might be named on the gold list in one fell swoop next year. This kind of young talent, even the nobles in Beijing would look at him highly.

It's one thing for Mrs. Su to be happy about a son-in-law with such a talent, but when she's happy, she starts to worry again, and no one knows whether it will change in the future. Now the son-in-law likes his daughter very much, maybe it's because he is here In this place, I have never seen a real lady from a great family. I am not boasting. Compared with the girls in the county, her daughter really has nothing to say, but she does not dare to be arrogant enough to compare with those ladies from a big family. Fascinated by the prosperity, he no longer cares about his daughter, his Song family is gaining momentum again, and his family is still a small merchant, unable to support his daughter to stand up in the Song family, but her daughter has not been pregnant for a long time, and she doesn't even have a son. Isn't it the life that will be studied in the future?

The more Mrs. Su thought about it, the more frightened she became. The night before she went to Song's house for a banquet, she could barely sleep, and she tossed and turned on the bed. Although her man didn't speak, she knew that there was nothing he could do at the moment. The son-in-law respected them, and they talked It's only useful, if he doesn't respect in his heart, then they really have nothing to do.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Su still felt that if she wanted to have a son, she had to do so right away. The daughter had already won the hearts of her in-laws. If she had a son, she could be considered a firm seat. In the future, as long as her in-laws supported her daughter, she would be a son-in-law If she changed her mind and fell in love with another vixen, at least the Song family still had a place for her daughter.Mrs. Su made up her mind, she refused to go to the wives' gatherings in those days, and prayed to God and worshiped Buddha at home every day. She went to pay her respects over and over again. She already had experience in doing this. If she hadn't been sincere back then, she might not have been able to ask for her only daughter. Now she is just doing it the way she did back then.

Her daughter is better off than her. She just started begging. When she was having a banquet at Song's house, because she didn't want her in-laws to see that she was begging for a son for her daughter, she worshiped Bodhisattva. All the way along the way, I confessed my sins in my heart, and then I sincerely prayed to the Bodhisattva. The sesame oil in various temples has never stopped for a day. When the other party went there, he brought a letter to the Su family, saying that Ziheng's wife was pregnant. Mrs. Su was still kneeling in the small Buddhist hall dedicated to enshrinement. Hearing the news, she almost fainted from joy and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva several times. , her forehead was all red, and when she left the house, she immediately wanted to go to Song's house to see her daughter, but her husband stopped her, and she also remembered that she had made a vow and hadn't gone to fulfill it, and she didn't know which temple was so effective, she She simply went to pay off her vows, and after two or three days of delay, the vows were finished, she still wanted to go and see her daughter with her own eyes, to see if her pregnancy was safe, so that she could feel at ease.

This time Father Su didn't stop him anymore. In fact, if he didn't want his in-laws to think too much, he would have wished to get a car and go to Songjia Village immediately. Like him, now that the son-in-law is a candidate, if he wins a Jinshi, he will not be far away from being an official. He used to say that if he was named on the scholar's gold list, he would be a seven or eight-rank sesame official, which is useless and trivial. I have to take care of small things, and it's not as happy as ordinary people, but that's because he himself is too far away from being an official, so he didn't even dare to think about it, so it's easy to talk, and it's the same with his son-in-law, too many scholars , less than one or two of the ten who can really get nominations on the gold list, he also thinks it's nothing, until his son-in-law wins the exam, and he heard from the knowledgeable person that the ranking is so high, he has real talents, and the title on the gold list is also worth it. It's just a matter of luck, and his son-in-law is still young, if he doesn't pass the exam two or three times, he can still be called a young talent, so Father Su is in awe, his son-in-law is close to becoming an official, and he will be the father-in-law of the official in the future When Father Su thought of his son-in-law wearing an official robe and bowing to him and calling "Father-in-law" to himself, he felt a shock all over his body. Then he heard the news that his daughter was pregnant, and in the future he would give birth to another relative who would also be an official. His grandson is also an honor to his Su family, isn't it?At least he will have the face to face the ancestors of the Su family in a hundred years.

Not only did Father Su not stop Mrs. Su from going to Songjia Village, but he also specially asked Mrs. Su to prepare a lot of things. Not afraid that the Song family would be unhappy, he sent Xiaolu to take care of Su Wan. Not bad for his health, if he can give birth to one, he can give birth to two or three. Father Su is more enthusiastic than Mrs. Su now, and he only wishes he could go to Songjia Village by himself.
