Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Yu Shu turned her head and said, "Chu Zheng."

"Okay, okay, I got it, I'm going to fall asleep soon, you guys go ahead and talk.

Compared to that, women have so many things to do..."

Feng Xi chuckled, "Sister, this guy talks a lot. Who does he follow?"

Yu Shu pulled the corner of her mouth, "What do you think?"

Feng Xi stared at her for a while without saying anything.

"What do you mean, little girl!"

"It's up to you. The emperor doesn't talk much."

Yu Shu: Who does she follow?

Lan Qiyan: Love whoever you want.

At the same time, Yu Xiu, who had been promoted and demoted three times, has fallen down.

He quits!

No matter who invites him, he won't get up.

He was angry.

Are you making a fool of him?

You can raise it when you want, and you can devalue it when you want.

So he called Yuyang over, and one spoke while the other wrote.

As Yuyang was writing, he felt something was wrong, "Dad, you have to resign."

"Resign!"

"Do you think the Emperor approves?"

Yu Xiu sighed, "I'm sick."

"is it serious?"

"What do you think? Do you think I can still get out of bed? Don't try to persuade me. Just write it quickly. If you don't write it, I'll go out and find someone else to write it."

Yuyang was helpless, since he was his own father.

When the resignation letter was delivered to the capital, Yulin read it and issued an imperial edict.

And this imperial edict was sent by Lan Xiaoqi.

There is nothing else, the main thing is to promote Yu Xiu.

He was promoted from a minister of agriculture to Marquis of Qingzhou, a first-rank official.

Yu Xiu sat up from the bed and looked at Lan Xiaoqi, "What does he mean?"

Lan Xiaoqi shrugged, "It's not good to get promoted and make money."

"No, given his personality, who knows what bad things he might be up to."

"No, Qingzhou is his second home. He entrusts this place to you to manage. This is a sign of trust in you."

Yu Xiu glanced at Lan Xiaoqi suspiciously, "Something's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong with you. Why are you speaking up for him? I couldn't listen to your scolding before."

Lan Xiaoqi suddenly laughed, "The emperor has his own difficulties. He does all this to show off to others."

Yu Xiu waved his hand, "If he has any difficulties, he can tell us and we can help him.

But he hurt us without our knowledge, do you think we will forgive him?"

Lan Xiaoqi shook his head, "He didn't say he wanted your forgiveness, or even that he didn't need anyone's forgiveness, he walked at his own pace.

It is his business to do or not to do it. It is our business to forgive or not.

He delayed me for so many years, and I have not forgiven him, I am just stating the fact. "

Yu Xiu nodded, "What you said is quite reasonable. I accept the imperial decree, and you can go now."

"No, I think the air here is good. I want to live here for a while."

"You just left for a few days, and now you're back with an imperial decree? Haven't you lived long enough?"

"No."

Yu Ning and Yu Gui, who were still strolling outside, were very envious when they heard that their second brother had been conferred the title of marquis.

They immediately turned around and went back home, clamoring for Yu Xiu to treat them to a meal to celebrate.

Seeing that they were still so distracted, Yu Xiu suddenly felt worried.

I knocked on Yu Zian's door at night.

"Dad, are you asleep?"

Yu Zian opened the door and said, "Come in."

Yu Xiu followed him in and closed the door, "Dad."

Yu Zian pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down."

"Okay, Dad, you know I'll come find you."

Yu Zian took a sip of tea and said, "If you hadn't come to see me, I would have gone to find you."

"Dad, is there something wrong?"

"Tell me about your business first."

Wu Xiu organized his words and said, "Dad, how old are Yu Ning and Yu Gui?"

"I'll be twenty during the Chinese New Year."

“It’s time to start a family.”

Yu Zian put down the cup, “How can they start a family when they have accomplished nothing.

After all, it was me who harmed them. I tried to understand the emperor's intention and crippled them in order to protect them.

And I haven’t discussed this matter with your mother, so she hasn’t forgiven me yet.”

"Dad, what do you think they can do? If they don't want to be officials, how about I open a shop for them?"

Yu Zian shook his head. "Do you think they look like people who can manage a shop well?"

"Professional things are done by professionals, and they just need to collect money."

Yu Zian smiled bitterly, "You think your mother didn't leave any for them? They lost all the ten shops."

Yu Xiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

That's fine, as long as they don't starve to death.

After a long while, Yu Xiu asked cautiously, "Dad, did my mom fall or eat something wrong when she was pregnant with my two younger brothers?"

"No, but she can't sit still. She does a lot of work, and she tickles me if I don't let her do it."

"It doesn't affect my work, so the reason must be yours."

Yu Zian finally reacted, "What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, it just means your genes aren't very good, right?"

Yu Zian gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I'm old and you can beat me?"

"Dad, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to chat.

Let's get back to the topic. What I mean is whether we should set up a family for the two of them.

Maybe they will become more stable after they have family responsibilities.”

Yu Zian waved his hand, "Don't harm other girls. They are like this. To be honest, if I were a stranger, I wouldn't want such a son-in-law."

"I do not know either."

"That's all, don't worry about them, everyone has their own destiny, just give them ten taels of silver every month."

"Okay, then let's do as Dad says."

……

Lan Xiaoqi took advantage of Yu Xiu's absence and went to look for Yu Lan.

Yulan was startled. In the middle of the night, a figure was reflected on the window lattice. Who wouldn't be scared to death?

She walked out angrily, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Lan'er, I have something to talk to you about."

"Speak during the day. Do you want to scare me to death in the middle of the night? And this is the backyard. You, an elder, come here. Do I have any shame?"

Lan Xiaoqi quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, Lan'er. I didn't let anyone see it. Don't worry."

Yulan looked around, then pulled the person into the room and said, "Tell me what you want from me."

Lan Xiaoqi cleared his throat, and then...

Yulan was petrified. Was what her uncle said a human language?

Was he speaking human language?

"Lan'er, I'm five years older than you, so I will definitely treat you well. If I don't treat you well, just chop me up."

Yulan still couldn't accept it, "How old are you, uncle?"

"Twenty and seven."

"Uncle, we are in a mess."

Lan Xiaoqi shook his head. "I am the blood of the Chu family, and you are the blood of the Yu family. We are not related at all, so how can there be any confusion?"

"Wait, I'm a little confused, give me some time."

"Lan'er, can you give me an answer tomorrow?"

"No, I haven't thought about it yet. I...I never planned to get married. When did you...when did you have this idea?"

“It’s been a long time.”

"Shame on you."

Lan Xiaoqi felt wronged. When he had this idea, Lan'er had already reached marriage age!
