Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 297 Jiang Youchen stands up for his bride

Jiang Youchen felt the gaze from his wife. He put down the tea cup in his hand and said to his parents with a smile: "I was just planning to discuss it with my parents. Logically speaking, after I take office, the bride should stay in Chaozhou to serve my parents and help my sister-in-law." We should take care of the housework. But she is married far away, so she will inevitably be unfamiliar when she first arrives here, and I can't be there to take care of her. I'm worried that she won't adapt. So, I thought about taking her to Beijing first and waiting for her. I don’t know what my parents want her to come back to do her duty as a daughter-in-law in a year or two.”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

How can a bride not learn the rules from her mother-in-law before she gets married and then follow her husband in a carefree manner?

This is really against the rules.

 The room fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

In the end, Father Jiang, the head of the family, spoke first. He said to Tian: "Sanlang is alone in the capital and there is no one to take care of him, so just ask the bride to follow him first. You have two daughters-in-law with you. No less filial than this one."

Jiang Zhao is a military general. He doesn't know how to talk about big principles in a formal way. He only talks about the key points to the point.

Tian Shiyuan did not insist on setting up her mother-in-law in front of her daughter-in-law, but she was a womanly family after all. She was afraid that others would gossip about her newly married daughter-in-law who was so unruly.

 After all, the Jiang family is one of the most famous families in Chaozhou, so they naturally have to pay attention to their influence.

After hearing what her husband and son said, Mrs. Tian didn’t refute, she just remained silent for a long time.

Murong Lizhu never expected that Jiang Youchen would make such a request to her parents. If her husband cared about her so much, Murong Lizhu would naturally obey her.

But Murong Lizhu, who has always been good at observing words and expressions, could not understand her mother-in-law's thoughts. Seeing her mother-in-law in such a difficult situation, she quickly said: "My daughter-in-law has just entered the house, so naturally she has to learn the rules from her mother-in-law first. Husband, then Just send some suitable servants to take care of it."

Seeing that Murong Lizhu was so sensible and courteous, Mrs. Tian felt a little sorry for her little daughter-in-law. She had so many thoughts in her mind that she didn't know how to make a decision.

Jiang Youchen saw his mother's thoughts and took the opportunity to say, "It's better than this. I'll talk to Shangfeng and stay at home for a few more days. After the bride learns the rules, I will take her to Beijing to take up her post."

How can there be such a truth? How can the bride learn the rules in ten and a half months?

Mrs. Tian was naturally concerned about her son's future. As soon as she heard this, she immediately replied: "You have just arrived in Beijing to take up a post. How can you delay at will?"

Jiang Youchen slowly said to his mother: "How can there be a way to have both worlds in this world? My bride came from a well-known family and traveled thousands of miles to marry me. I left her alone at home. How can I bear it, my mother? A real man is not in a hurry to achieve merit. For the time being, at worst, I will just decline the job in Jingzhong."

How rare it is to be able to work in the capital. My son's job was fought with his life when he recaptured the five cities.

"How can this be done?" When Tian heard this, his voice changed with anxiety.

Seeing that the mother and son were so entangled, Jiang's father waved his hands and decided: "How big of a problem is it worth embarrassing like this? Just let the bride go to Beijing with her, and the matter is settled."

Mrs. Tian naturally felt unhappy, but seeing that her husband had already made up his mind, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Since the mother-in-law didn't say anything, although the two daughters-in-law of the Zhang family and the Zhao family disagreed, they had no reason to object. After Jiang Youchen and Murong Lizhu finished visiting the Jiang family's parents and brothers, the two newlyweds went to the backyard to visit their two grandparents who were already in their octogenarian years and could only stay in bed.

 After the two newcomers left, Jiang Youan, Zhang, Zhao and others also returned to their respective places.

After all the children and grandchildren had dispersed, only Jiang Zhao and Tian were left in the house. Tian was still thinking about Jiang Youchen's insistence on bringing his bride to the appointment. She was chirping, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses. , said to her husband: "Are you telling me that Saburo was lying to me just now when he said that he would rather not work than leave his bride behind?"

Jiang Zhao glared at his wife and asked with a sneer, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Tian was so angry that she slammed the table and gritted her teeth and cursed: "This brat really forgot about his mother after marrying his wife. He actually used his little tricks to deal with me."

Jiang Zhao patted his wife's hand and said seriously: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You can just let them go. Why should you be serious?"

After listening to her husband's consolation, Mrs. Tian became less angry and sighed: "I also like this wife from the bottom of my heart, but the Murong family's family background is higher than ours, and there are already rumors outside that we are superior to her. , you said that this bride has just entered the house and she is unruly at home. Doesn’t it mean that others will make irresponsible remarks? Where can I put my face as a mother-in-law? "

Jiang Zhao glanced at his sad-faced wife and said patiently: "Just let others chew their tongues as much as they like. I don't believe it. Who would have the guts to chew in front of you?"

Tian murmured: "Then they don't have the courage. It's just that it's shameless to let people make irresponsible remarks behind their backs."

Jiang Zhao glared at Tian and said, "How can face be more important than the happiness of your children?"

Although Mrs. Tian is straight-tempered, she is soft-hearted. After listening to her husband's questioning, she has already weighed the pros and cons in her heart. Just asking her to let go of her worries so easily is something she, a woman who has been stuck in a rut all her life, cannot do. .

Seeing that his wife still couldn't let go, Jiang Zhao persuaded her gently: "We have been here since we were young. It is easy for my son to find someone he likes. Now she insists on clinging to his wife. Isn't this a good thing? Are you willing to see him fight for the rest of his life? Are you unhappy and depressed?"

Naturally, Mrs. Tian also knew that her son had always been unable to let go of Jingshu. After hearing what her husband said, she finally softened her expression and muttered to herself: "Of course I just thought that Sanlang would be happy, that's all, so I gave up." Just let people laugh at my old face, as long as the children can be happy, I won't care about it."

Out of the front yard, Murong Lizhu took the initiative to hold Jiang Youchen's hand, and the two smiled at each other and headed towards the backyard.

The grandparents of the Jiang family are now nearly ninety years old. When they arrived at the main room, the old man was taking a nap, and the grandmother was sitting outside, accompanied by the serving grandmother, waiting for the two of them.

Jiang Youchen took his bride to serve tea to his grandmother and say hello. The old man was deaf and blind, and he couldn't recognize his grandson after groping for a long time.

It took the serving nun a long time to explain to the old man that Jiang Youchen had brought his bride to greet him.

The old man finally understood a little bit this time, and kept nodding his head and said: "Sanlang and Shu'er have finally gotten married. It's very good, very good."
