”It is a pity that we cannot write. Mother, when you reply, just say a word to him. ”Yeah, tell him to study hard!” The last sentence was filled with the bearing of an old man.
Boss Du swallowed the grapes and said, ”My daughter has the demeanor of an elder sister!”
Wei Zhao stared blankly for a moment before turning his head towards Du Su's house. ”Mother, please adopt two more children with father.” Seeing that his mother was about to shake her head, he hurriedly straightened his body and said, ”I've thought about it. When I grow up and am able to leave the palace, I'll see who treats me well.
Boss Du was both happy and in pain when he heard this. He really wanted children; Wei Zhao hadn't been around for a year, so it didn't matter if he was dead or alive. His wife had watched him for most of her life, and she didn't feel anything new.
But listening to Wei Zhao's words, he'd raised his son for the sake of filial piety!
Wei Zhao was still blabbering, ”I've saved up a lot of money. Mother, take it back and look far away for it. There is something that the newborn family can't raise, or both parents aren't here. It's fine if you spend some money to carry it home as your own!” ”Just don't beat him up. We have a reading companion here who was raised since childhood. In the end, when that friend has a biological child, they will either beat him or curse him …” He told her about Xu Lin.
Madame Du Su nodded. ”Mother has money. You should keep your own money. Mother has even saved it for you. Mother only wants Miss Zhao and no one else.”
Wei Zhao's heart ached from his mother's words. He wrapped his arms around Du Su's neck and said, ”But I want someone like me to feel sorry for my mother and stay with her!”
Mom, just listen to me, I'm doing pretty good here. In the morning, I'll study and read with you, and in the afternoon, I'll also be able to practice martial arts and exercise with you, and I won't be able to go home for a while. Mom, take care of your two younger brothers, you can also bring them to see me in the future.
Du Su's heart broke down in tears. Wei Zhao hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mother's face, then said softly, ”We're all doing pretty well in the palace.”
Du Su had been told not to ask about the princess, now seeing that Officer Zheng wasn't looking this way, she asked softly, ”Is the princess fierce?” Is it good for you? ”
Wei Zhao smirked. ”The princess is smart and smart. Her studies are better than everyone else and her martial arts is also better than everyone else. She also takes good care of her reading partner …”
Zheng: ”Oh princess, this old servant heard you boasting!”
”Don't worry, Mother. The princess is as good as I am!”
Madame Du Su hastily shook her head. ”How can the princess compare to us common folk? The princess is the descendant of a dragon and phoenix, the child of His Majesty. The princess is the best.” Afraid that the lady would offend him by saying something wrong, he lowered his voice and said, ”In the future, you have to restrain yourself. You can't compare yourself to the princess, do you understand?”
Wei Zhao nodded seriously, ”Mm, at most, we'll have a draw, and we won't be able to go any further.” After saying that, she laughed and pulled at Du Su's arm, ”Mother, you have to find two younger brothers. If you can only find one, if in the future you treat me badly, won't you have no choice?”
Du Su pinched her nose, but before she could say anything, Big Boss Du snorted and said, ”Where's the radish? Do you want to pick one?”
Wei Zhao said, ”That's right, I even saved up quite a bit of money in places where I don't have any money in the palace!” As he said this, he took out a small bag that he was carrying. Inside were scattered gold and silver spots, as well as some small silver notes, ”Look, this is all the money I've received. Here, mom, take it home to raise your little brother so that he can show me his filial piety.”
Eldest Brother Du picked up a golden pigeon and clicked his tongue in wonder. ”This is really pretty! How do you think they did it?” in the shape of a grape.
”Mom, take this and ring it.” Wei Zhao picked one of the peanuts and showed it to Du Su, then pointed at the silver notes, saying, ”Collect these. If your younger brothers don't obey, then don't give it to them.”
Du Su didn't want to take it, ”How did you get so much money? ”You should keep it. Don't be stingy every day. It's time …” Stealthily glancing at Officer Zheng, he lowered his voice and said, ”Don't be reluctant to part with what you should. Don't call anyone to bother you over this.”
Wei Zhao imitated her mother and said softly, ”I can save it all, but I still have more.” Then, his voice rose again. ”Ah, my studies are good. Tutor, your Majesty, you've all praised me. Um, the princess is better than me!” After saying that, he winked at Du Su's house.
Du Su was afraid that someone had cheated her for her lack of understanding of the human world, and wished that she could pass on all of her forty years of life experience to her. In the past, she said things like gossip about family matters, and Eldest Brother Du despised her for teaching her daughter to be so shrewd, but now that she was regretting it, she should say more. However, this was the palace, so she knew nothing about it other than being respectful. She could only incessantly instruct her daughter, ”You have to be respectful to His Majesty, to the princess, and to the tutor. The reading companions beside you can also help out.
Eldest Brother Du swept all the fruits on the table clean and said with a sidelong glance, ”Don't worry, our daughter is really shrewd. She's the only one who swindles others!” Whose seed are you looking for?! ”
A slap the size of a fan landed on his back, scaring the high-ranking officer in the corner into trembling. Wei Zhao was still smiling as he took out a silver note worth ten taels and secretly gave it to Eldest Brother Du, using his mouth to say, ”Wine money!”
Then he pretended to say, ”Dad, drink less!”
Eldest Brother Du never had any private money, so he rolled up the tickets and hid them in his pants when Madame Du Su wasn't paying attention.
