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

Chapter 182 Shut up

"egg."

"Mom, you exchanged those goodies for a box of eggs?"

Lan Qiyan held up a finger and said, "It's not a box, it's one."

Yu Xiu’s eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"What are you laughing at? Why don't you pinch your son's philtrum? His mental endurance is too poor."

Yu Zian kicked Yu Xiu and said, "Get up."

Yu Xiu covered his buttocks and said, "Dad, I have no shame, please don't beat the child for no reason."

"Hold the box, we'll go home and eat."

Yu Xiu was not happy at all, "Mom, what should I do if I can't get the money?"

Lan Qiyan sighed, “Those holding furniture and vases are exquisite, but ordinary people can’t use them, and they won’t spend a lot of money to buy them.

We can only use it to exchange for something else. Don’t underestimate this egg, it’s quite powerful.”

"How big can it be? It's not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth. I'll fart and it'll be gone."

"Humph, it can tear the entire palace apart."

"What about the General's Mansion?"

“Razor to the ground.”

Yu Xiu ran away holding the box, and Lan Qiyan chased him frantically, "Why are you going to hit me?"

"Revenge my father. Mom, you don't know how hard my father's life was. He didn't love me, and I didn't care about him. But after I've done something great, they came up to me and used their elders' attitude to pressure him."

"Good job, son. It's worth it. Mommy will go with you and find something else while we're at it."

Yu Zian walked lightly and quickly caught up with the two of them. He picked up one in each hand and walked towards the Lan Mansion.

Lan Qiyan kicked him, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant?"

"It's bad for your reputation."

"It doesn't matter. I have no shame."

Yu Zian's face darkened, "I want it."

"Okay, okay, are you afraid of what people will say about you at work tomorrow?"

Yu Zian was silent.

"Alright, alright, I get it, let's go home. I know you're soft-hearted, and people are bullying you because you're soft-hearted.

Yu Zian, let me tell you, if it is destined to be yours, you will eventually get it, and if it is not destined to be yours, don’t force it.

You have few relatives, and excessive pursuit will only bring pain.

If you really want to live a good life with me, please don't be dizzy because of your mother's little bit of maternal love.

The three old ladies had drugged me and made me pass out. They wanted to teach me wrong etiquette and make me look bad in public.

If I behave improperly in front of the palace, I will be beaten with a stick at best, and lose my head at worst.

Your mother wants to kill me. She doesn't like me, which means she doesn't like you.

Yu Zian, you have to look at the reality clearly. People without parents are still living well.

How old are you? You are almost 30, are you still craving for motherly love that doesn't exist?"

"Twenty-seven."

"Ok?"

"I'm twenty-seven, not yet thirty."

"rounding."

“Can’t get in.”

Lan Qiyan really wanted to give him a slap on the head. Why was he so serious?

"Yu Zi'an, as the saying goes, if your ruler is not upright, you should rise up in rebellion; if your father is not kind, you should beat him up; if your mother does not love you, you should get out of here immediately, you..."

Yu Zian's eyes widened. How come he had never heard of this common saying?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just saying something vulgar."

Yu Xiu ran very fast with the egg in his arms. He wanted to hide it. If anyone bullied his mother in the future, he would blow them up.

The news that Lan Qiyan emptied the general's mansion and made his mother-in-law faint spread throughout the streets and alleys overnight and became the topic of conversation among people after dinner.

Some people feel sorry for Yu Zian. Such a handsome and talented man actually married a wife who was ignorant of the world and had no rules. He probably has no room for promotion in this life.

Yu Zian really didn't want to think about promotion. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He didn't expect the emperor to remember his kindness in protecting his master.

Originally, the emperor wanted the queen to host a banquet to entertain Lan Qiyan, after all, he had done a favor to the two princes.

But before they could say it, the queen went into labor, and the little princess that they had been longing for became the little prince.

Although the emperor and empress were disappointed, they were very happy to see the healthy little prince.

The little prince's full-month banquet happened on the 29th day of the lunar year. The emperor was so pleased that he immediately issued an edict allowing officials of the third rank and above to bring their families into the palace for the third prince's full-month banquet.

Yu Zian is a second-rank official, so Lan Qiyan is qualified to enter the palace.

Yu Zian hurriedly prepared clothes for entering the palace. Lan Qiyan looked at the two maids brought by Yu Ze with a painful expression, "Son, I'm sick. Please take a leave."

"Mom, this is really hard to ask for, learn it quickly."

"It's going to start tonight, and I can't remember it all afternoon."

"Mother, talk less, smile more, and just remember how to greet the Emperor and Empress."

"Brother, what you said is too complicated. Mother, look at others. When they kneel, you kneel too. When they laugh, you laugh too."

"Mom, you are so smart, I believe you."

Lan Qiyan looked at the three children. Yuze was dressed in crescent white, Yuzhen was dressed in navy blue, and Yuqi was dressed in fiery red. Silk and satin were meant to nourish people, and they made the three children look like decent human beings.

She curled her lips and looked at her second child. Where was the second child?

"Where's Yu Xiu?"

Yuze sighed, "He was mad at us. He ran away when we came in."

"Yu Xiu can't enter the palace? He is my son. Can't the general's son enter the palace?"

"sure."

"Then what is he angry about?"

"He blamed us for not visiting you for a month."

"Now is not the time to be angry. You don't have to worry about me. I can adapt to the situation. The problem is that you guys take care of him and don't let him get into trouble."

Yu Zhen twitched her lips, "Mom, my second brother also said these words when we came in. I am worried about you two."

"Don't worry, Third Brother, we are here for Second Brother, and there are Fifth and Sixth Brothers in the palace. Now it's Mother who's worrying."

Yuze was also very worried. He asked his mother to take care of him, but his mother seemed perfunctory.

Lan Qiyan drove the three of them out, "You guys go out, I'm going to start studying."

……

For the whole afternoon, the three brothers listened to ghosts howling in the front hall.

"Brother, what should I do with my mother?"

"Let Chuntao come with us. She knows the rules of the palace and should be able to take care of her mother."

"Brother, I always feel that mother has changed."

"After not seeing each other for a few years, people will change, but she is still my mother after all, as long as it is not too much."

Yu Zhen opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

Yu Qi lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth. People’s hearts are fickle!

In the evening, Chuntao and the others were dressing up for Lan Qiyan. She shook her hair full of pearls and jade, "Tao, just tie your hair into a ponytail, and do a love hairstyle with Yu Zian?"

"What is a love head?"

"Couple hairstyle, we are husband and wife, she wears a black gold silk brocade robe, and I wear a black gold silk skirt.

He wears a black cloak, I wear a white cloak, he wears a black crown and ties his hair, you should give me one too."

"Ma'am, it would be bad not to bring these, right?"

"Don't bring it, it's all a burden!"

After Chuntao dressed up as she requested, Lan Qiyan mesmerized herself in front of the bronze mirror.

It has been a long time since I saw my true face. "Tao, look at me, my face is like peach blossoms, my lips are like cherry blossoms, my eyebrows are like paintings, my hands are like soft catkins, and my eyes are full of autumn water. I am really worth a thousand gold coins for my father's smile. Only Yu Zian can barely match me."

Chuntao originally thought that the lady was one of the most beautiful women in the capital, but at this moment she only wanted to say one thing: Madam, can you please shut up?

"Tao, do you have any objections?"

"Ma'am, I don't."

"Then why are you pouting? Xiahe, why are you rolling your eyes? Qiuye, keep laughing. Dongxue, why is your face turning purple? Speak."

The four of them said in unison, "Madam, please be mute for a night to avoid ruining such a beautiful view!"
