Chapter 15(1/2)
Su Jin had a little chest pain and was so angry that Xiao Zhen was so angry that this person didn't allow her to go out and make money? If she didn't make money, where would she get the money? Not to mention that she only had more than twenty taels of money that really belonged to her, even if she had a gold medal, she would still have to make money. She was happy in setting up a stall to do business, and it had nothing to do with how much money it was.
Xiao Zhen was disdainful of his words and said, and Su Jin was too lazy to argue with him. He slept for a while. After breakfast the next day, Su Jin still led Ruyi out. Outside the gate of Xiao Mansion, two guards were all the elderly people in Qianhu Mansion who often ate Su Jin's big meat buns. They were all very kind to Su Jin and Archer.
But today, two guards stopped Su Jin.
Su Jin raised his eyebrows.
One of the two guards had a long face, not good at speaking and serious face, while the other one with a round face was very funny and slick.
"Sister-in-law, you see that you are pregnant. The adults are afraid that you will have a hard time doing business, so you listen to it and rest at home, right?" The round-faced guard bent over and smiled apologized. Look, the young man is very good at speaking, and he insists on Xiao Zhen's confinement order to Su Jin as a flower, as if Xiao Zhen also had a caring smile when he ordered.
Su Jin believed it and stared at him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Get out of here quickly. There will be buns to eat tomorrow morning."
The round-faced guard had a bitter face and begged, "Sister-in-law, I'm really out of my way today. You will never see me again. Sir, you are the only one who is right for us. Can you not make things difficult for us?" On one side is the buns and on the other side is the adult's board, the guards are even more afraid of beating.
Su Jin is still three months away. If you give in today, won’t you be unable to go out in the next three months?
Looking at the two guards, Su Jin suddenly covered her stomach and helped Ruyi to uch: "Hey, my stomach hurts..."
The two guards were so scared that they hurriedly asked her what was going on and whether she would hire a doctor.
Su Jin shook his head, his hand was still on his stomach, but the pain on his face disappeared. Danfeng looked at the two of them majestic: "If you don't let me go, I'll get angry. If I get angry, my stomach will get hurt. If something happens, I'll see how you explain it to the adults."
The guards immediately understood that the little lady was threatening them!
The round-faced guard bent down and bowed to Su Jin: "Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, don't bother us, please go back to the house and rest!"
Su Jin kept walking forward without stopping.
The long-faced guard was about to stop him, and Su Jin thrust his chest hard at him: "Come on, come on, I see if you dare to touch me!"
The 20-year-old woman had a thin waist and a bulging chest. She grew stronger after she became pregnant. She shook her long-faced guards' faces flushed, and she immediately retreated for four or five steps.
After being scared away, Su Jin looked at the round face again.
The round-faced guard drooped his head and did not dare to look around.
Su Jin hummed, opened his umbrella, and set out like a walk.
The two guards looked at each other and had no choice but to send someone to the military camp to notify Lord Xiao.
Xiao Zhen didn't expect that Su Jin, a little woman, would not even take his guard seriously. Her face turned dark at that time. However, he was in military affairs and could not go back early every day because of this matter.
At dusk, Xiao Zhen rode back to the house, changed into sweaty official uniforms, rested for a while, and then asked someone to go to the backyard to invite Su Jin.
Su Jin took a good nap. At this moment, he was listening to Archer recite the "Three Character Classic". The beautiful and handsome boy shook his head seriously and his voice was bright. Su Jin looked at his son as if he saw the scene of his son's high school top scorer.
"Sister-in-law, sir, please come over." Chuntao came to pass the message tremblingly.
Archer stopped memorizing the book and looked at his mother in confusion, always feeling that something bad seemed to have happened between her mother and Lord Xiao.
Su Jin tilted to the head of the kang, sucking his breath to his son: "Ah, my mother's legs seem to be cramped, so you can rub them quickly."
Archer believed it and immediately knelt over and gently pinched his mother's legs.
Su Jin said to Chuntao without any help: "You go back to the master and tell me the truth. If you have important things, please send me a message."
Thirteen-year-old Chuntao was simple and simple. Like Archer, she didn't see Su Jin pretending, so when she arrived in front of Xiao Zhen, she looked normal. Xiao Zhen heard that Su Jin had cramps in her legs, and she might feel uncomfortable after the cramps. She was afraid that she would affect the child in her belly, so she sent Chuntao and waited to see her tomorrow morning before talking.
Su Jin didn't want to talk to him, so he deliberately lay in bed in the morning to pretend to be asleep. Xiao Zhen was going to the military camp and couldn't afford to wait, so he had to set off.
As soon as he left, Su Jin got up, washed his face and ate, and went to the bun stall with a refreshed look. In the evening, he heard the familiar sound of horse hooves and knew that Xiao Zhen was back. Su Jin immediately ordered Chuntao to prepare water and she wanted to take a shower. After Xiao Zhen wiped his body briefly, Su Jin had just taken off his clothes.
"Sir, sister-in-law is taking a shower." Chuntao continued to report truthfully.
The woman has long hair and takes time to take care of her after taking a shower. Xiao Zhen’s plan to talk to Su Jin today was ruined again.
After a few days, no matter how stupid Xiao Zhen was, he still felt that the little woman was scheming with him!
He stuttered on his chest in one breath, and Xiao Zhen didn't sleep all night!
In the past, Su Jin lived with Feng Shi, and Xiao Zhen was an outsider. Although he felt that Su Jin's words and deeds were contrary to his wife's deeds, Feng Shi was willing to accept it and he was not qualified to intervene. Now Feng Shi has gone. Su Jin is Archer's mother, Archer's adoptive father, Xiao Zhen truly regards Su Jin as his younger brother and sister who has the responsibility to take care of him. As the head of the family, how is Su Jin openly fighting against him?
Xiao Zhen was very angry. If Su Jin was his wife, he would have to teach her a lesson harshly, but his younger brothers and sisters would not be able to do it. As long as Su Jin hid in the back house, he, a big man, could not go there to avoid suspicion! After all, even if he was a relative of his eldest uncle, there was no reason to go to his younger brothers and sisters' house.
It is a difficult time not meeting. If Su Jin does not listen to advice, he cannot take action, and it is another difficult time!
The man is in the military camp, but Xiao Zhen’s heart is not here. He must find a way to cure the woman!
Su Jin is pregnant and can't move, so...
Xiao Zhen laughed, really made him think of a solution.
When he returned home in the evening, Xiao Zhen sent Chuntao to invite Archer.
"Arche?" Chuntao was stunned. Didn't they always invite Su Jin before?
Xiao Zhen nodded.
Chuntao went to the backyard in a daze. Su Jin had already thought about what excuse to use today, but unexpectedly Xiao Zhen called her son.
Archer didn't want to call Xiao Zhen's charity, but he knew that Xiao Zhen was a good person, so he jumped off the ground and put on his shoes obediently.
Su Jin moved her mouth and held back. She was also curious about what Xiao Zhen was going to say to her son.
Archer went to the front yard.
Xiao Zhen asked him: "In the future, do you want to study and test your achievements, or do you want to learn martial arts and achieve military achievements?"
Archer was only six years old, and the boy didn't know what he was suitable for, but he knew that his biological father was a bad scholar and his adoptive father was a good martial artist.
"I want to learn martial arts." Archer quickly made a choice.
Xiao Zhen was naturally satisfied with Archer's answer, waved his hand and asked Archer to come to him.
Archer was in awe of him and walked over with a little nervousness.
Xiao Zhen held the boy's shoulder and said earnestly: "As far as I know, the young master and son of a wealthy family will leave their mother at the age of four or five and move to the front yard to live alone. Therefore, when a boy grows up, he can be self-reliant. Only girls will stay with his mother and learn needlework rules with his mother. Archer is six years old and sleeps with your mother at night. It's so inappropriate. I want to arrange for you to live in the front yard room. What do you think?"
Archer's eyes clearly showed reluctance to leave.
Xiao Zhen sighed: "If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Archer was determined to be a man who protected his mother. He wanted to be as promising as other people's sons and did not want to be a girl who stuck to his mother.
"I do." Cut my fist and Archer said firmly.
"Okay, then you go and tell your mother, if she agrees, you will be here tomorrow morning." Xiao Zhen patted the boy with encouragement.
When I was about to start learning kung fu, Archer was very excited and ran to find his mother.
Su Jin looked at his son who was more beautiful than a girl and said nothing for a long time.
"Mom, are you unhappy?" Archer climbed onto the kang worriedly and knelt beside his mother and asked.
Su Jin shook her head and touched her son's head. She asked with complicated eyes: "Tell the truth to my mother, do you like reading or practicing kung fu?"
Archer pursed his lips and said, "I want to be a general."
Su Jin still shook his head and emphasized, "Mom asked which one you like to make." What you like may not be the same as what you want.
Archer looked at his mother and slowly lowered his head. He liked reading.
Su Jin hugged his son with distress and said softly: "Scholars have good people and bad people. Generals have loyal ministers who defend their country, and cowardly and fearless. Archer cannot think that all scholars in the world don't like it just because his mother meets a bad scholar. Moreover, you like to study, so you can do a good job in learning, and be a civil servant in the future and have a promising ambition. If you learn martial arts, you may not be the material. If you don't have the skill, you will be beaten by the enemy when you arrive on the battlefield, and you will not be able to achieve anything in the end."
It is not so easy to be a general. Many people have gone without returning. Whether it is due to Archer's qualifications or his mother's intention, Su Jin hopes that his son will study and take the imperial examination.
Archer blinked his eyes and thought of Magistrate Qi.
He wanted to be an official who decided the case and an official who ruled for the people.
Su Jin smiled and explained: "The magistrate is a civil servant, and he has to study."
Archer understood, looked out the window, and the boy frowned and said uneasy: "But I promised adults that I would practice martial arts with him."
Su Jin still smiled: "Mom, go and tell the adults."
A quarter of an hour later, Su Jin took the initiative to ask for Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen was expected to come and see the guests in the main hall with a serious expression.
Su Jin bowed to him in a regular manner and lowered his eyes and said, "Sir, you are considerate. Archer is indeed at the age of living alone. The civilian woman has a shallow understanding and has been neglecting this. I have troubled you."
Su Jin's words and deeds were completely beyond Xiao Zhen's expectations.
After a brief shock, Xiao Zhen coughed and sat down and said, "I am Archer's adoptive father. It is a matter of raising him. You don't need to be polite to your younger brothers and sisters."
Su Jin thanked.
Xiao Zhen asked her to sit down.
Su Jin did not sit down, raised his eyes and looked straight at him calmly and said, "Sir, Archer's biological father is a scholar. He was defeated by me back then. After Archer learned about it, he became resistant to the scholar. However, Archer was talented and fond of studying. I just asked him whether he likes reading or martial arts. He said that he likes reading."
She mentioned Archer's biological father clearly, and Xiao Zhen thought that Feng Shi told Su Jin about the conversation between the two men that day. So now after hearing this, she didn't think much about it. Surong replied: "What do children know? Archer likes to study today, and may like to practice martial arts tomorrow. I will teach him, and my brother and sister can sell buns with peace of mind."
Su Jin sneered in his heart, do this man really thinks she will fight against him with her son's future?
Putting his little hand on his stomach, Su Jin said calmly: "As long as the adults promise me two things, I will not set up a stall again before the second child is born."
His eyes swept across her lower abdomen, and Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me say it, brother and sister."
"First, please promise that after the child is born safely, I will no longer be restricted from going out for business."
This, Xiao Zhen was reluctant and looked at the ground and said, "It is inappropriate for a woman to show up in public."
