Chapter 19 Come, uncle will give you candy

Hai Rui died of his father at the age of four, but was pulled by his mother Xie.

Xie is a tough, strong, upright and kind woman. Hai Rui inherited her character and made Hai Rui today.

But he was also burdened by his personality and divorced two wives in succession...

Qiongzhou is far away from the ends of the world. There are Han and Li living there. The Han women's personalities are somewhat influenced by the tough Li women. Unlike the Central Plains women, they are not able to bear to bear the brows and eyes, and they are not allowed to bear it.

The Hai family has been studying for generations, and it is a family with rules.

Even though her husband died early, Xie refused to be vague and still implemented the old-fashioned family rules.

Hai Rui's first wife, Xu, couldn't stand the rules of the Hai family and was incompatible with her mother-in-law, Xie, and she ended up being divorced.

Later, he married Pan again. After one month of entering the house, a battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law broke out and was retired again...

It was not until the gentle and virtuous Wang family entered the door and Xie family also reflected on themselves that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well.

Wang also gave birth to two sons and three daughters for Hai Rui. The family followed Hai Rui to travel around the world to make a family. Although life was poor, they were happy and peaceful.

It was not until the 44th year of Jiajing that Hai Rui was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Revenue and was going to work in the capital.

Xie's family was old and could not stand the coldness of the north. Hai Rui had no choice but to let his family live in Xingguo temporarily and took Hai'an to work north.

Then in the 45th year of Jiajing, Hai Rui was sent to the "Public Security Memorial" that shocked the world, and was sent to a prison for imperial edicts. His two sons also died suddenly...

The unbearable blow almost destroyed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Especially Wang, who suffered severe mental damage and his health was getting worse and worse, was completely unable to preside over the gift.

Fortunately, Hai Rui official is now in the fourth rank, and his salary is more than three or four times that of when he was a county magistrate... Although it may not be enough for other fourth rank officials to hold a meeting, it can greatly improve the life of the Hai family.

Wang then took the initiative to take Hai Rui's concubine Han and asked Han to take care of the whole family for him.

~~

At this time, the concubine Han took Hai'an's backpack, lifted up the oil cloth that sheltered from the rain, took out Hai Rui's official robe and black yarn, and prepared to hang it on the robe rack.

"Hey, stingy!"

"And balls!"

When the two young daughters saw something underground in the basket, they were immediately excited.

"There are some delicious food!" The daughters jumped around the basket, just like the New Year.

"Everything is quiet, and you don't usually have to eat shorts." The sea wife Wang smiled pale and stood up to help clean up the kitchen.

"Don't move." Xie's spinning wheels twice, and the cotton thread quickly turned out from her left hand. After spinning a handful of cotton, she broke the cotton thread and stopped the textile. "How many days have you been in your body?"

Han then went to the kitchen to cook with meat and eggs.

After Xie and Wang put the cotton thread and cotton neatly into the basket, Hai Rui and Hai'an carried three spinning wheels into the west room.

In fact, with Lord Hai’s current income, his family no longer needs to weave cloth by themselves. But first, he is used to being thrifty in the family, and second, this is the traditional craft of Hainanese people and cannot be lost.

Third, Xie always felt that with his son's temper, he could be dismissed from office as a civilian or even exiled to the army at any time. The so-called "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It is better to always maintain the true nature and save time and gaps.

"Ruxian, where is the sun coming out today? Why do you have guests?" Xie felt very strange. Except for the occasional relatives coming to her house, she didn't remember that her family had recruited guests.

"My mother, I met someone when I was in Beijing..." Hai Rui wiped his hands with a linen cloth and was about to say 'friend', but the boy with 'I am rich' appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and then changed his words: "The person who helped his son."

"That's to invite someone to come to the house to sit down. I have to repay my kindness." Xie started to mutter. She no longer had the sharpness she was when she was young, and was just an ordinary old man.

The mother and son were talking when they heard the knock on the door in front of them.

Hai'an quickly put an umbrella on and went to open the door. He saw Zhao Hao and his son holding an umbrella in one hand and a gift in the other, and smiling.

"Grandpa, do you still recognize me?" Zhao Hao specially changed his simple Songjiang snow-white cloth today, and took off the jade pendant and jade hairpin on his body.

"Hahaha, I have been a clerk, how could I forget Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao?" Hai'an was also very happy and hurriedly took the gift and let the father and son into the yard.

Mr. Zhao, who had just attended class yesterday, heard that Hai'an had been a clerk, and couldn't help but feel respectful. He thought, why don't you try to dig it out?

Hai Rui also walked out of the main hall, stood in the corridor and bowed to Zhao Shouzheng and said, "Congratulations to Zhao Xiaolian for winning the top scholar!"

"Shame." Zhao Shouzheng also hurriedly saluted Hai Rui.

Hai Rui nodded and looked at Zhao Hao again and said, "Why are you here again?"

"Do you think I'm willing?" Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this my father being sent to justice?"

"It's all your own fault." Hai Rui sneered. He was in Nanjing Tongzhengsi, and the most informative news was. "I have reminded you a long time ago that it's best not to tell outsiders about those fallacies. But you were so good that you actually took it to Lingji Palace to give a big lecture!"

"Ruxian, why are you talking to your benefactor?" But in the main room behind him, Xie's low shout sounded.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh and asked Hai Rui with his eyes, why did I become your benefactor?

"Greetings to my mother." Hai Rui smiled helplessly, but did not explain, and couldn't tell the difference with an old lady in her eighties.

If I had known this, it would have been better to say that it was a "hometown forgot"...

~~

The father and son entered the main hall and kowtowed to the old lady together.

Zhao Hao's lips were red and his teeth were white, and his face was powdered, which made him feel sweet. He screamed Xie's mouth with a mouthful of "grandma" and kept him away from scattering his hand.

Seeing this scene, Wang's eyes suddenly turned red and he turned his head away.

Hai Rui knew she missed her son again. If Zhongdi was still alive, it would be almost as big as Zhao Hao...

He gently shook his wife's hand and gave her some comfort.

Wang also quickly wiped his tears, for fear of making the guests laugh.

Zhao Hao asked Wang again. Seeing her sick face, she suddenly remembered something. She couldn't help but feel sad and silently thought about how to help.

At this time, Hai Rui's two daughters poked their heads from behind their mother and looked at Zhao Hao with a smile. The younger one was drooling...

Seeing this, Zhao Shouzheng took out a handful of candy from the gift he brought and handed it to the two children with a smile.

Zhao Hao felt nervous again. He suddenly thought of the legend of Hai Rui starving his daughter to death in later generations. It is said that because his five-year-old daughter was too hungry, she took a man's cake. As a result, Hai Rui scolded her daughter. After realizing that her daughter had made a mistake, she committed suicide by going on a hunger strike...

He couldn't help but want to persuade his father to stop quickly, but he saw that Hai Rui's two daughters looked like a greedy little brat when they saw Candy.

He couldn't help but feel absurd feeling in his heart - you're paralyzed, such a young child knows nothing, he's still on a hunger strike! It's true that she can cry to death if she doesn't eat candy...

Looking at Hai Rui again, like an ordinary father, with a hint of doting, a little helpless, nodded with a bitter smile.

"Thank you to uncle, don't eat them all at once!"

The two children cheered when they heard this, first put the candy in their arms, and then sweetly thanked Mr. Zhao Er.

Damn, isn't it meant to be severely scolded?

Which bastard is he made? What is his intention?!
