It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Five years later

"Dad, I want a sister, what about you?"

Yang Shuo reached out and touched his son's head, "Everything is fine." It didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, he just hoped that Weng Xiaoxiao would be safe.

"Is mom in pain? She's been screaming for a long time."

Yang Shuo squatted down and picked up his son. "When you were born, your mother suffered a lot. You can be disobedient to your father in the future, but you must never disobey your mother."

Weng Siyuan nodded seriously and tilted his head, "Dad, are you going to school tomorrow?"

Yang Shuo didn't even think about it, "Your mother is suffering, I have to stay and take care of her."

"What can you do? Don't you have Grandma and Grandma Feng? Even the Eight Immortals can take better care of people than you."

Yang Shuo smiled and scratched his son's nose, "Your mother will feel at ease when I'm home."

It is said that only when you have children will you understand the kindness of your parents. This is absolutely true.

How can the son feel at ease when his mother suffers for him?

Last year, Weng Xiaoxiao used her contribution in promoting sweet potatoes and corn to gain an opportunity for Yang Shuo's mother to leave Beijing.

Their family was finally reunited.

However, Zheng Rong only lived with them for two months before she went to Maoxian. She said she liked the villa there.

At first, Yang Shuo was very unhappy and a little reluctant. As a son, he naturally had to support his mother. Although he was nominally a son-in-law, Weng Xiaoxiao treated him the same as before, with mutual respect and love, and everyone treated him with respect as before.

Weng Xiaoxiao thought it was fine anyway. With so many people in the family, she wouldn't mind having another mother-in-law. If they wanted to spend time alone, they could just go out and play for a few days. But she couldn't say what was in her heart, and she didn't want to create a rift between her and Yang Shuo because of this.

Zheng Rong was determined to leave, and Yang Shuo had no choice but to visit him from time to time.

When Yang Shuo saw that his mother was happier living there, he slowly let it go.

"Dad, I want to be with Mom too. Can I rest tomorrow?"

"Forget about today. I have to go to school tomorrow."

"You are resting now. How can we study without a teacher in the school?" The little guy rolled his black eyes.

Yang Shuo was speechless, but he couldn't take back what he had just said. "I will go to class first and come back later. You stay there to read and write, and go home normally."

Weng Siyuan pouted, thinking that his mother couldn't help him at the moment, so he decided not to argue because he wouldn't win anyway.

"Little sister, do you want to sleep with you?"

"The baby is still young and can't leave his mother. He will be able to sleep by himself when he grows up."

"Er Pang is two years older than me, and he still sleeps next to mom. I also want to sleep next to mom. Daddy, daddy, can I?"

This……

Since he was weaned, Yang Shuo threw the boy to Feng Gu, and he lived in his own room after he was three years old.

"You are braver than him, aren't you? How can a brave man pester his mother?"

The little guy blinked his eyes. He is very brave, but does being brave mean he can’t follow his mother?

Chunhe heard this when he passed by the father and son and quickly hid far away. This master is getting better and better at deceiving people. The teacher's mouth is really scary!

"I'll wait here, go find Yuanbao to play with."

The Ping An couple are now responsible for shipping full-time, and have left the Yuanbao at home. They only come back for a few months when the monsoon stops shipping.

Since his father had spoken, Weng Siyuan did not dare to disobey. He bowed to Yang Shuo and ran away.

Yang Shuo looked into the house anxiously.

The shouting in the room was not loud, and shouting would only be a waste of energy. Weng Xiaoxiao had given birth to a child, so she naturally knew how powerful it was.

Although he could not see the entire process, Yang Shuo still remembers clearly how Weng Xiaoxiao looked after giving birth. It was a pain that he could not imagine.

Another hour passed before Feng Gu came out with a smile and congratulated Yang Shuo, saying that it was a young master.

Yang Shuo only laughed when he heard that everyone was safe.

"Let the child have the surname Yang. You can't let your bloodline be cut off. Even though mother doesn't say it, she must be regretful in her heart!"

Yang Shuo tucked the quilt for Weng Xiaoxiao and brushed the hair off her cheek. "Don't think too much. Rest first."

The new emperor could not bear to be known for being harsh on his ministers, so he naturally would not take back the previous emperor's reward. Yang Shuo gave the title of Duke to his second uncle's eldest son, Yang Lang.

If the child's surname is Yang, he must go back to recognize his ancestors. If his son goes back to inherit the eldest branch of the family, it will only make people suspicious and cause trouble.

His father was worshipped in the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, so the incense would definitely not be cut off. There was no need to think too much about the long-term.

But he understood Weng Xiaoxiao's intentions, and now was not the time to explain, so Yang Shuo naturally laughed it off.

The child grew rapidly from birth, and by the time of the full-month banquet, he was already plump and white, very adorable.

……

"Master, Master Zhao Yanchen requests to see you."

A guest is a guest. Besides, Yang Lin was able to protect herself in the palace thanks to the favor sent by Zhao Yanchen. Weng Xiaoxiao thought about it and said, "Please meet the guest in the study."

I met him once when I bought the farm, and we haven't seen each other since. It's been seven or eight years. He came to my house suddenly, so there must be something going on.

"My visit is really a bit abrupt. I didn't expect to catch the young master's full moon banquet. This is just a small token of my appreciation." He took out a purse and handed it to Yang Shuo.

Yang Shuo and his wife looked at each other and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

After sitting down and having tea, Yang Shuo got straight to the point, "Mr. Zhao, are you here to inquire about the whereabouts of your cousin?"

Zhao Yanchen did not dodge and nodded, "I accidentally learned that the general settled in Yangzhou. I thought about it for a long time and finally wanted to ask."

Hearing this, Yang Shuo was deeply moved. Zhao Yanchen was indeed a rare lover, but it was a pity that fate played tricks on him.

"She is still living in the other courtyard. It is a matter of royal dignity. If we cannot receive her, we can only send some things over from time to time."

The royal family will not allow the concubine of the previous emperor to remarry. Even if they want to take her away, they have to wait until she is older.

"As long as she's still here, that's good." Zhao Yanchen didn't dare to hope for anything else.

Weng Xiaoxiao always respected people who were loyal and righteous, "Mr. Zhao, please come over and have a drink."

Both Zhao Yanchen and Liang Bin already have their own families, and there is no question of renewing their past relationship. It is just a wish that cannot be fulfilled.

Zhao Yanchen thanked him and followed Yang Shuo to the table.

……

New Year is always the most lively time, especially for the Weng family.

Ping An and Chun Xia are back.

Jingming also came back with the wife he married on the island. The girl had a cheerful personality, but her skin was a little dark due to being exposed to the sea breeze.

The island that Weng Xiaoxiao bought had an excellent geographical location. Instead of living there, they turned the houses they built into inns for the passing ships to rest and take refuge. However, in recent years, Japanese pirates have become more and more rampant, often robbing passing ships and sometimes invading coastal villages and towns.

Yang Shuo sent Jingming, a militant, over there to form a guard team composed of wounded soldiers, specializing in fighting Japanese pirates and pirates. Of course, they also protected merchant ships, which would cost some fees.

Li Hong was still alone, with great medical skills but little reputation. In view of the catastrophe that his family had encountered, he learned to hide his incompetence. He was only obsessed with medicine and had no interest in fame and fortune. After taking revenge, he did not think about restoring the Li Family Clinic and remained a traveling doctor.

Kang Bao had to wait until the second day of the Chinese New Year to return to her parents' home. She married Ouyang Lei, Ouyang Hua's cousin, who managed many of the family's shops. Since they wanted to marry two families, the Ouyang family treated Kang Bao very well, and the couple got along harmoniously.

Xiaokong, Xiaohai and Xiaoyang all became shopkeepers, each in charge of business in a certain area. No matter how far away they lived, they would come back with their families to celebrate the New Year.

Xiaohua lives a comfortable life alone and has rejected many marriage proposals over the years. Weng Xiaoxiao respects her choice and still lets her be in charge of the lotus root powder workshop, but the scale has already expanded several times.

Sometimes Debao's family would come over to join in the fun.

Every time at this time, the house becomes extremely crowded, with every room filled with people.

The family is large and wealthy, but with the steward Chunhe in charge of external affairs and Qiuyue in charge of household affairs, Yang Shuo and Weng Xiaoxiao have the least time.

During festivals, he only interacted with the Nie and Ouyang families, and lived his own life quietly, thus saving himself a lot of trouble.
