Chapter 289: Never be able to give
Seeing her husband finally look at her, his gaze and voice so gentle, He’s tears welled up.
This was something that hadn’t happened before.
She felt that perhaps her husband had finally figured it out and wanted to rejoin this family and live the rest of his life with himself. Fortunately, Jiang did not stay for dinner that day, it was her own fault ……
Not wanting to leave him, she gathered her courage and said, “I will also stay here to serve my mother-in-law.”
Zheng Ji’s strongly pulled out smile was gone, and his gaze was cold.
Old Emperor’s son-in-law Zheng said, “Their mother and son haven’t seen each other for many years, and they want to talk about themselves. There are some things that will come in time.”
Zheng Ji’s change of face had already made He feel ashamed, and the words “the future will be long” made He feel even more annoyed and humiliated. She felt that everyone in the room was laughing at her, and turned her head and walked out quickly.
The cold stars were flashing, and the bone-chilling wind was blowing in her face, which didn’t make the heat on her face subside.
What good was that vixen, she had been dead for so many years and was still dead set on her being the rightful wife.
Jiang Yishi s face appeared in that starlight, becoming more and more blurred, turning into a grassy grave ……
The Grand Princess took Zheng Ji’s hand and looked at it carefully.
I remember my son as a teenager, wearing a beaded crown, wearing fancy clothes, fair and handsome as the heavenly exiled immortal, smiling brightly when happy, stubborn when nine cows can not pull back ……
But the son in front of her, the skin is wheat-colored, wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, lips with a short beard, eyes heavy, exudes a regal atmosphere, so that she as a mother are a little afraid of ……
Her son, has already grown a beard!
The Grand Princess held her son’s hand tightly, not daring to push her son out again, and begged, “Ji’er, stay. If you don’t like He, go your own way. Mother won’t force it anymore.”
Seeing that his old mother’s hair was already mostly gray, with tears in her eyes, her voice dripping with pleading, and no longer as forceful as before, Zheng Ji’s heart softened a few points.
He said, “Mother’s words are too strong, the son does not dare to take it.” After a pause, said, “He is not wrong, it is my fault, this life is destined to fail her. Mother and father treat her better, and try to let her live a carefree life at home. Loyalty and filial piety can’t go both ways, I still have to go back after the year, I can’t be missing there.”
The Grand Princess shed tears.
Elder Son-in-law Zheng felt that his son’s willingness to stay at home for so long was already a rare improvement; before, he had never stayed at home for even five full days. He couldn’t push him as hard as he had been, he had to do it slowly.
He laughed and said, “Yichang, it’s good for my son to stay home with you for a month.”
The next day, Zheng Ji assigned the gifts and went to the palace to face the saint.
He was sick and did not go to the main hall to attend to her illness, once again her heart died. Before there was a place for herself there, but now, she is in the way.
Underlings carried a large box of gifts in, said the master sent.
He’s expressionless as she opens the box.
Inside is a wide array of jewelry, silk scarves, ornaments, velvet blankets, eyebrow stones, all full of exotic flavors. Especially the two brocade boxes of Persian eyebrow stones, the most Jin and dynasty women like, with silver have no place to buy.
Zheng Ji as long as home, send her gifts are extremely heavy.
He wants to use money to make up for the shortfall? It’s not as good as he wants it to be.
His own life and face are gone, what’s the use of holding these things!
He picked up a box of eyebrow stones and slammed it on the ground, and was about to slam it with jewelry when she was held tightly by Sister Tang.
The other subordinates all retreated in fear.
Sister Tang said with tears in her eyes, ”Madam, what you are doing will make the Grand Princess unhappy. In this mansion, if you displeased her old man again, your life will be really bad.”
He cried, “Sister, my heart is bitter ……”
Sister Tang said, “The old slave knows, the old slave also heartache madam. Madam which, if the man’s heart is not on you, it’s even more important to cage the in-laws’ hearts and not let them dislike you again ……”
In the next morning, Meng Lao Guo Gong several old ministers were also declared into the palace by the emperor, with Zheng Ji to jointly discuss the western bureau matters. Discussion until late at night, the next morning before going home.
This day Zheng Ji had been accompanying the Grand Princess, making the Grand Princess and Zheng extra horse harnessed by the side of a team extremely satisfied.
The eldest princess has been smiling, in addition to eating on the clean room, did not let go of his son’s hand.
He didn’t come to get in the way, the three people in the main hall got along well and seemed to be back twenty years ago.
In the evening, Zheng Jing returned home from the Imperial College.
Zheng Jing’s heart was conflicted when he faced his father. At the same time, he felt strange, new, admiring, afraid, and also had a grudge against his mother.
He kowtowed to Zheng Ji, “My son has met my father.”
He was too embarrassed to even call him “father” because he was so unfamiliar.
After eight years of separation, that little boy has grown up into a fine young man, and also won the talent examination.
Zheng Ji’s eyes were filled with a rare smile and said, “Get up.”
Zheng Jing stood up, handsome, gentle, and with a heroic spirit, very much like himself.
Zheng Ji nodded again with satisfaction, “Your mother raised you well, be filial to your grandmother, grandfather, and your mother.”
Zheng Jing bowed and said, “Yes, my son will.”
At the beginning of the hour, the Grand Princess fell asleep, and Zheng extra horse harnessed by the side of a team went to rest in the west room.
Zheng Ji said to Zheng Jing, “You go back and rest, I’m going to stay here with your grandmother.”
Zheng Jing begged in a low voice, “My son will stay here with my grandmother, so father go and stay with my mother. For so many years, my mother really hasn’t had it easy.”
Zheng Ji did not expect his son to make this request and froze.
Zheng Jing added, “Father, my son vaguely heard some rumors. No matter what, my mother did not do anything wrong, she is the wife of the Grand Princess’s House, who was married by a matchmaker and carried in a palanquin. For so many years, my mother has honored her in-laws and kept her manners, and she has been even more attentive to my son. My son feels that the face that father should give should still be given to her.”
Zheng Ji was a bit mortified, but also felt that his son protecting his mother in this way was also considered to have some responsibility.
He was silent for a moment, thought about the wording and said, “Yes, your mother is not at fault, it is my fault, I am sorry for her. But some things can’t be forced, this life just so. However, I will only have your mother a wife, the name will not aggrieve her. Don’t get involved in the affairs of adults, honor your mother well, and be more open to her.”
Zheng Jing understood that it was impossible for his father and mother to reconcile, and that his mother’s name would always be there.
He knew that what his mother wanted was precisely conjugal love. But judging by his father’s attitude and his usual insistence, he could never give his mother what she wanted.
Zheng Jing grieved for his mother, but he didn’t dare to say anything more – it was useless to say anything more, so he had to leave.
I don’t know when it started to snow again, the cold wind and snowflakes blowing on the face, cut the face of pain.
Zheng Jing went to his mother’s courtyard. On this cold night, only he could bring warmth to his mother.
In fact, the heart was in someone else, so it was better not to have his affection.
Why can’t mother think of it?
Zheng Jing gently pushed and the courtyard door opened.
Mother knew that she had returned to the house today and must still be waiting for him.
The lights in the upper rooms were as bright as day, so mother was really waiting for him.
Zheng Jing walked towards the upper room.
