Chapter 266 My mother-in-law is a loyal servant (10)(1/2)
Be patient! You must be patient!
We must not reveal any flaws, and we must not let Yan Ting’s life experience be exposed!
Mrs. Zhang pinched her palms hard and reminded herself repeatedly in her heart.
Therefore, when she heard Yanting's childish cries from the carriage, she was obviously heartbroken, but she still couldn't bear to look at it, and she couldn't care.
Aunt Zhao didn't even dare to say anything, lest she accidentally ruined the master's important matter.
Neither the master nor the servant jumped out to stop or scold him. Feng Zhongliang was really an honest man. He Tiantian's words directly stopped him.
Besides, it has always been the case that men take charge outside and women take charge inside.
The mother is basically responsible for the upbringing of her children.
Feng Zhongliang himself is honest. He also knows that he has not read any books and does not understand those principles.
As for "Gu Xiuniang", she is the daughter of a scholar. She is well-educated and knows how to educate children.
There should be no problem if Feng Yanting is handed over to "Gu Xiuniang".
The most important thing is that He Tiantian did not abuse Feng Yanting. She just let him know some dignity and rules, and let him do some work within his ability.
Their family itself is not rich and powerful, but when the Hou Mansion is in trouble, Feng Zhongliang can still be "Uncle Feng".
But now the Hou Mansion is about to be questioned, and the Feng family's backer has fallen.
It would definitely be unrealistic for Feng Zhongliang to think about being as rich and famous as before.
Not to mention, in order to help with management this time, Feng Zhongliang listened to his mother's instructions and sold all his operations in the southwest over the past few years.
Along the way, one-third of the tens of thousands taels of family property have been spent.
However, the remaining few thousand taels of silver should not be spent frivolously. After all, there is still more than half of the trip to the capital.
Captain Qian is a master who loves money. If he doesn't get enough money, Mrs. Zhang and the others will suffer.
In addition, and most importantly, will everything be fine once we arrive in the capital?
wrong!
Aunt Zhao had already warned Feng Zhongliang that after arriving in the capital, once Ping Nanhou's charges were confirmed, the Marquis's house might be seized and his house confiscated.
Families will be exiled and sold.
But no matter what the situation is, money is the top priority.
The Great Zhou Dynasty allowed redemption, and as long as you were not sentenced to death, imprisonment, imprisonment, etc., you could spend money to reduce it.
Aunt Zhao told Feng Zhongliang: "The Tai Madam, the Second Madam and the Third Madam all have natal families. They dare not take care of it now, mainly because they are afraid of being implicated."
"The charges against the Hou Mansion have been confirmed. As long as it is not a beheading, the in-laws dare to come out to help."
"They may not take care of other people in the Hou family, but they must take care of their own young lady, grandson, granddaughter, etc.!"
If you don't care, let alone flesh and blood and family ties, even everyone's spitting stars can drown them!
The only one in trouble is probably Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang also has a natal family, but the Zhang family is too deeply involved with the Hou family.
One of Mrs. Zhang's brothers serves in the Southwest Army.
Once something happens to the Hou Mansion, the entire Zhang family will probably be in trouble.
By then, the Zhang family will have too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they still have the energy to save Mrs. Zhang?!
Therefore, the person who finally redeemed Mrs. Zhang and her daughter was probably no one else except Feng Zhongliang, the son of a loyal servant!
"Don't dare to spend this money indiscriminately, the capital is the big one!"
Aunt Zhao knew that her son was stupid, but she was better at being obedient. She did not hide anything, told everything that might happen next, and made corresponding arrangements.
Feng Zhongliang only needs to act according to his mother's plan.
Aunt Zhao ignored one point. No matter how honest Feng Zhongliang was, he was not a real fool.
After being in business for several years, Feng Zhongliang can also do some simple arithmetic.
"Well, after we get to the capital, we will not have much money left in our hands if we buy out my wife and mother-in-law."
Feng Zhongliang secretly sighed to He Tiantian.
In addition, we still need to buy a house and land in the capital, and find a way to make a living. Otherwise, where will this big family live? What will they eat? What will they drink?!
Feng Zhongliang didn't just drive the carriage and take care of things along the way. He didn't say anything, but he was always making plans in his heart.
Forget it all the way, and worry all the way.
Alas, money is spent less and less, but there are still many places to spend money in the future.
What should these people do in the future?
Feng Zhongliang was worried about the future. He was not sure what difficulties they would face after arriving in the capital.
But one thing, Feng Zhongliang was very sure of, was that it would be difficult for his family to be as wealthy as in the past.
Maybe they are not as good as ordinary people. After all, ordinary people still have their own houses.
And what about them?
Since they are ordinary people, the children at home cannot be too pampered.
Therefore, when he saw He Tiantian setting rules for Feng Yanting, Feng Zhongliang felt uncomfortable and unbearable from the beginning, but gradually he felt that it was very correct.
"... It is your responsibility as a mother to educate your children. If you think this is appropriate, then do it this way!"
Although Feng Zhongliang couldn't bear to see his son crying, he also felt that his wife had done nothing wrong.
Feng Yanting:......
I cried at the top of my lungs for a long time, but my mother-in-law still had a cold face.
My father tried to intercede, but my mother retorted with a few words.
As well as his wife and grandma, they seemed not to hear his cries and didn't even look at him.
As he cried, Feng Yanting couldn't cry anymore.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, He Tiantian raised her hand and handed Feng Yanting a handkerchief, "Do you know you were wrong? Are you going to lose your temper again in the future?"
Feng Yanting cried so hard that her face turned red, and her eyes, which were very similar to Mrs. Zhang's, were filled with tears.
He pursed his lips in grievance, and although he still felt aggrieved, his mother-in-law's words finally gave him a step forward.
"Well! Mom, I was wrong. I, I will never cry or make trouble again!"
The fat little hand held the handkerchief and wiped it on his face haphazardly.
For the first time, Feng Yanting felt that his mother was so majestic.
For the first time in his young mind, he had a concept: not everything can be solved by crying, and parents and elders are not unprincipled and have no bottom line in pampering him!
And, the most important point: Wei Yuanniang, the eldest lady, is indeed more noble than herself!
Wei Yuanniang:......
Seeing Feng Yanting wiping her tears in grievance, she felt inexplicably refreshed.
The black energy on his body seemed to have faded a lot.
He Tiantian was keenly aware of Wei Yuanniang's change in mood and curled her lips slightly.
"It's okay to know you're wrong!"
He Tiantian continued to discipline Feng Yanting, and she did not forget the reason for the crying.
"Yanting, are you still hungry? Auntie will bring you steamed buns!"
Feng Yanting was not hungry at first. He just heard Wei Yuanniang mention the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and saw that his own mother was treating Wei Yuanniang better. He was jealous for a moment, so he asked for it.
However, after crying a lot, Feng Yanting was really a little hungry.
When he heard his mother ask him, he quickly nodded his head and said pitifully, "Hungry!"
He Tiantian took out a clean handkerchief from the bag, and inside the handkerchief were two steamed buns mixed with grains.
Because it was just heated in the steamer in the morning, although it is not that hot now, it still retains the residual warmth.
The key is that it's not that hard.
He Tiantian reached out and broke off a piece and handed it to Feng Yanting.
Although Feng Yanting was not used to this simple diet, he became less picky when he was hungry.
Eat it in small bites. Although the taste is not as good as fine grains, it still has a unique aroma.
Moreover, it is much better than the black steamed buns eaten by the Hou family at the inn.
Feng Yanting was biting his steamed bun, and among the people on the way, several young masters and young ladies from the Hou Mansion were swallowing hard.
In the past two days, Feng Zhongliang didn't take care of much. The Hou family members still ate the standard black cornstarch and rotten vegetable porridge.
Even adults can't get used to eating this kind of food, let alone those young and delicate children.
