South Street is very prosperous. There are various business shops in the front right, and the mansion of the newly promoted dignitaries in the left rear.
Nanxi County is far less prosperous than the capital city, and the people of the old Xiao family are also a little confused when they walk all the way.
No wonder Shi Qingluo said that the capital is a golden nest and a blessing nest, but that's not the case.
The shops on the road sell things that they have never seen in Nanxi County.
Therefore, in the hearts of the old Xiao family, they scolded Xiao Er and Ge Chunru many times.
On the way , Xiao Yuanshi kept a stiff smile, and did not take the initiative to ask the old Xiao family why he came to the capital and other matters.
This is still on the street, he doesn't want to lose face.
Along the way, I also met some colleagues, or their family members.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi following a group of beggars, people who gossip can't help but ask about their relationship.
Every time Xiao Yuanshi has not spoken, the people of the old Xiao family will proudly announce that they are the relatives of General Xiao, including their biological parents and brothers.
This made everyone look at Xiao Yuanshi with some subtlety in their eyes.
Xiao Yuanshi has developed and lived a good life in the General's Mansion, but his parents and brothers look like poor and miserable beggars.
This makes people think about it.
The stiff smile on Xiao Yuanshi's face was almost unstoppable, and he especially wanted to make the people in the old house poisonous and dumb.
kept explaining to people that the parents and brothers went to Beijing because they were looted by bandits, and this became what they are now.
Don't make this clear, he will definitely be ginseng tomorrow.
Recently, he came back after meritorious service, and he was more embarrassed in front of the Holy Master, and because of this, some people were jealous and had to guard against it.
There was a civil official who didn't quite deal with Xiao Yuanshi, and asked with a look of surprise: "If that's the case, why didn't General Xiao personally send someone to pick up his parents and relatives to the capital?"
"There shouldn't be a shortage of people like this in the General's House, right?"
Xiao Yuanshi choked, just as he was about to explain, Xiao Dalang answered.
"My parents wanted to have a second child, so we came to the capital to find our brothers by ourselves, and he didn't send someone to pick us up."
When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, these people finally had no slip of the tongue.
But following Wang's words, he couldn't help but blacken his face.
Wang said: "The second wife doesn't like us going to the General's Mansion, and we didn't dare to come before."
Wu added, "Now my parents really miss my second child so much, so we were forced to sell the house and the land as a mess, and came to the capital to see him."
Shi Qingluo said before that they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the capital and the General's Mansion.
The first thing to do is to pull the woman Ge Chunru off the horse and let the old lady and their sister-in-law control the general's mansion.
And since the real identity of Ge Chunru was known, the female family members of the old Xiao family actually disgusted and despised her.
In particular, this woman has to prevent them from going to Beijing to live a good life, and wants to control the financial power of the General's Mansion alone.
So, before entering the general's mansion, he began to black out Ge Chunru's reputation.
The person who asked looked disapproving when he heard it. "As a daughter-in-law, I don't like my in-laws to come home. This is too unfilial."
Others who were watching the fun looked at Xiao Yuanshi with disapproval and said, "General Xiao, this is your fault, your parents raised you, how can you not let your parents enter because your wife doesn't like it? What about Jing?"
"Yeah, your parents miss you, and they even sold houses and land to see you. Your husband and wife are too much."
In this era, filial piety is the priority, so everyone despised the actions of General Xiao and his wife.
No wonder Xiao Yuanshi was appointed general for so long, and he didn't see his relatives. It turned out that his wife disliked him, so he let it go.
I heard that Xiao Yuanshi loves that little wife very much, but he can't be unfilial to his parents!
And they didn't expect that the gentle and virtuous Mrs. Xiao, who was praised by the female family members, was actually a two-faced woman.
I saw that everyone started to condemn him and his wife for being unfilial because of the words of his sister-in-law and his third siblings.
Xiao Yuanshi really wanted to throw them out of the capital immediately.
So he immediately explained, "The two sisters-in-law misunderstood. Chunru didn't have such an idea. She also offered to pick up her parents to live in Beijing when we settled down completely."
Of course there is no such thing, but it would be difficult for him to ride a tiger.
followed by a look of guilt and shame, "I don't even know that my parents came to visit because they missed me. I am ashamed of my parents."
As soon as his words fell, Boss Xiao took the initiative to look relieved, and was afraid to pat him on the shoulder.
"It's alright, from now on, you just need to be filial to your parents."
Xiao Yuanshi was wearing a light gray and white brocade robe today. When he was patted like this, a dirty palm print instantly appeared on his shoulders.
He was so disgusted that he wanted to slap someone on the ground.
But in public, he could only humiliate himself as a brother, friend, and brother, "Brother is right."
Old lady Xiao turned around and pulled Xiao Yuanshi with a moved face and said, "Second child, we will depend on you in the future."
"Back then, your father and I were reluctant to eat, and we wanted to save you a bite from our mouths, and we supported you to serve as a soldier to protect your family and protect the country. Now you have a future. Knowing that you are honoring your parents, your mother is really happy."
This is what Shi Qingluo taught her, and she said it in public.
As for being reluctant to eat, saving a mouthful for the second child to eat, this is of course fake.
Although the old Xiao family is not too rich, it has not yet reached this point.
For this second son, although they did not value the eldest son and dote on the younger son, they were not treated harshly either.
He was not too hungry to pull him up, and it was only natural that they wanted him to be filial.
Shi Qingluo said that when she spoke from such a commanding height, the second child would never be able to refute it.
People outside will also think that she is a sensible old lady. In the future, she will go out in the dark, ahem, and go out to preach that her daughter-in-law is unfilial, and more people will believe her.
Sure enough, hearing her words, Xiao Yuanshi seemed to be constipated.
When did he get so brainy? To be able to say such a thing.
The key is still made up, he used to be the least favored at home, how could they not eat and save him.
Going to be a soldier is also forced to do military service on the surface.
Now in her mouth, it's all for him.
The people of the old Xiao family also took the initiative to agree, as if their parents had suffered so much for him to be a general.
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to vomit blood, this group of people is too shameless and shameless.
The key is not to be afraid of being shameless, but being afraid of being shameless and becoming smart at the same time...
If the old lady and the others beat and scold him in front of everyone, or if it was in a village, he would not want to take them into the capital.
He can pretend to be aggrieved and helpless. Who let him have such parents and brothers and let everyone sympathize with him.
Who knew that this group of people suddenly played cards unexpectedly, and his heart collapsed at this time.
But he had to put on a smile, "Thanks to my parents, I naturally have to be filial to them."
He has to say this now. The key estimate is that even if he tells the truth, no one will necessarily believe him, and he will definitely be unfilial by ginseng tomorrow.
So even if his mother made it up, he still had to admit it...
