Chapter 7

Mother Cheng raised her head blankly, watching her daughter-in-law go out, and closed the doors and windows. There were only the mother and son of the Cheng family left in the house, and the charcoal in the gilded copper basin with the head of a chicken and the body of a snake in the middle made a crackling sound.

Cheng Shi released his tensed arms, respectfully helped Cheng's mother sit on Hu's bed, changed his coldness just now, and said softly, "Mum, you haven't seen your son in ten years, look at the child, his appearance has changed. "

Mrs. Xiao had taught this gentle tone of the opening sentence seven or eight times, and he felt that he was quite in place.

When Mother Cheng heard this, she burst into tears, shaking her palms to caress her son's rough and frosty face, with both heartache and hatred: "You...you...you have no conscience!"

Seeing that his son's temples were dyed with frost, he was still a cheerful young man in his twenties when he left, and he came back as a majestic and unfamiliar middle-aged general. The mother and son talked a lot about themselves, but those didn't comfort them, and Mother Cheng couldn't help but complain.

"You are my first-born son, the flesh that fell from my body. How could mother doesn’t miss you?! You have given all your heart and life to your family, and there is nothing left for this old woman like me!" The more his mother Cheng thought about it, the more sad she became. "In the past ten years, you have sent a few bamboo slips, either to asked about the fourth lady news, or to say something in a fog that I don't understand. You...you know how I lived..."

Cheng Shi grinned: "I want to write a few words to mother, but you are not literate." Having said this, his face sank, "I don't want to ask Ge Shi to read my words to you."

Mother Cheng wiped away her tears and said, "You just don't like her so much? Isn't it just because ... that name?"

Cheng Shi said in a deep voice, "She died before she was two years old. She's good. She gave birth to the second lady and named her "Zui'er."

Mother Cheng knew about this, the homophonic syllable, Ge Shi was stupid, thinking that a man must give priority to a son (actually, Mother Cheng also thought so, it was just to poke Mrs. Xiao's heart, but it was Cheng Shi who was the saddest).

The pink makeup and jade cut that the little girl gave birth to, not only looks like Mrs. Xiao's beautiful eyes, but also like Cheng Shi's thick eyebrows and broad forehead. At that time, Cheng Shi was a father, and he really loved her so much that he didn't know what to do. Mrs. Xiao was frail after giving birth, and there was no extra maid at home. As soon as Cheng Shi was free, he bound the swaddling clothes in his arms and walked around. But at the time of the most difficult time for the Cheng family, there was only enough food and clothing in daily life, not to mention all kinds of nourishing things, many things could not be taken care of, alas—

Mother Cheng has a rough temperament, and it took many years to gradually see the pain in her son's heart, but thinking about it again, Mrs. Xiao, such a smart person, didn't say anything. How strong to endure.

"I told your wife, but she said that the name given by Taigong Ge, so it's not good to disobey the elders." Mother Cheng couldn't help but say something for Mrs. Ge, although she didn't like this daughter-in-law, but this marriage is her arrangement.

Cheng Shi snorted coldly: "She would only use her old father to block us. If it wasn't for Taigong Ge's honesty and kindness….. he would have helped me so much back then; I would have taught my second brother to divorce her!"

"Hmph, this kind of woman, who does nothing but stirs up her tongue, wishing she could not find peace in her family, she would not be happy, and she would teach this kind of person to spoil her!" The more Cheng Shi thought about it, the more angry he became. When I went to see my second brother, I was full of anger, and I didn't care about everything, even that old man..."
