Chapter 477 Thinking too much
Nangong Jingxuan smiled awkwardly after hearing what his son said: "Um, haha, I..."
Yun Ting's expression became serious: "Dad, you don't care about Mom at all!"
Nangong Jingxuan wanted to refute, but when he thought about it carefully, he really didn't care about Shangguan Tang over the years.
In this family, Shangguan Tang is the one who contributes the most.
Yun Ting continued: "You don't remember mother's birthday, do you know what mother likes most?"
Nangong Jingxuan said without thinking: "Your mother likes farming."
Yun Ting said: "Wrong, my mother doesn't like farming, but she likes a good harvest. Farming is hard and tiring. If it is not necessary, who would like to farm? Is it necessary to endure the hardship?"
Nangong Jingxuan was stunned. It seemed to be true. Shangguan Tang was keen on planting, not because she liked farming. She liked the harvest. She would be very happy when she saw the things planted in the ground grow into full crops. When there were no servants in the family before, she would farm by herself. After the family had servants, she would mostly give orders from the side and would not do everything by herself.
Yun Ting said: "Dad, don't always think about sleeping. Spend more time on mom. Be careful that mom will dislike you in the future."
Although his personality is somewhat similar to his father's, there are also some differences. His father is too lazy, even lazier than him.
Dad used to be a supervisor and fought in wars at the border. There was too much to do and he had no time to be lazy. But ever since the world came to peace and he retired to Qingquan Village, he has been dozing off every day and can fall asleep at any time. He used the cart for a few years and then took it back.
My fifth uncle and fifth aunt both doted on my dad and chased him to feed him. My dad was in his forties, but he still had the nerve to open his mouth and eat. His face was thicker than a city wall.
Nangong Jingxuan was scolded by his son. As Yun Ting spoke, he pointed out all of Nangong Jingxuan's shortcomings in great dissatisfaction.
"Dad, apart from a good-looking face, extraordinary intelligence and strong learning ability, you have no other skills. You are not as good as mom at farming, supporting the family, and educating children. You are lazy and greedy, and you don't know how to please a woman. You look for mom all day long when you have something to do, and you still look for mom when you have nothing to do. If we don't fight, you have no opinions of your own. Mom will be very tired facing you like this for a long time." Yun Ting said earnestly.
"Dad, you have to be more active and take the initiative to do things to understand Mom's preferences. Yun Man and Yun Zhuo are better at pleasing Mom than you."
Nangong Jingxuan felt ashamed by what his son said.
How could he be so bad?
No, after saying so much, this kid still didn’t tell him when Shangguan Tang’s birthday was?
"When is your mother's birthday? What does your mother like and dislike? Whether it's food, toys or clothes, just tell me everything." Nangong Jingxuan looked at Yun Ting with a pleading look.
Yun Ting stretched out his hand and raised his eyebrows: "If you don't give me some benefits, why should I tell your father?"
Xiao Jingxuan took out a silver note from his pocket and handed it over.
"Only one hundred taels?" Yun Ting said disdainfully, "Dad, you are so poor."
"The money is in your mother's hands."
"So, you have always been raised by your mother."
"......" Although this is the truth, it hurts Daddy's heart too much for you to say it so bluntly, little brat.
Shangguan Tang didn't really want any romance, but life needed a little fun, and he needed hobbies other than money. A little surprise from time to time could keep the relationship fresh, otherwise a dull life would be very boring.
Shangguan Tang laughed at himself: "In the past, I just wanted to eat and drink well, grow good crops, and keep my family safe. Now I want more and more."
She stroked her chin and thought: "It's probably impossible to expect Nangong Jingxuan, a lazy guy, to create a surprise. It's better to scare him. Since he can't do it, I'll do it. What does he like? Let me think about it."
After much thought, Shangguan Tang came to a conclusion that Nangong Jingxuan's favorite thing was sleeping, the kind that could fall asleep in any environment.
"Build him a special bed?" Shangguan Tang thought so and did it.
She spent half an hour drawing a design, and then quietly went to find a craftsman to make a big bed.
Just as this matter was arranged, Gongsun Wan'er came to see her again.
"What's bothering you now?" Shangguan Tang looked at Gongsun Wan'er's sentimental face speechlessly.
Gongsun Wan'er dismissed the servants, took Shangguan Tang's hand, and said in a wronged voice: "Cousin, although the misunderstanding between me and the prince consort has been resolved, I don't know why, but I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I want to chat with you."
Shangguan Tang nodded: "Okay, you talk, I'll listen."
Gongsun Wan'er pursed her lips and expressed her concerns.
Although she was a princess with a noble status and was one of the most distinguished women in the capital, she had nothing to brag about except her status as a princess. When it came to playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there were many women in the capital who were better than her. She could only be considered average. In terms of appearance, she was not the best in the capital. Although she looked good, she would eventually grow old. She was just a vase princess who was favored by the emperor.
On the other hand, Su Minglang, who was an ordinary child of aristocratic family at the beginning, has made many military achievements and is proficient in both civil and military strategies. In the past few years, he has been shining in the capital and has become more and more outstanding.
"The more outstanding Su Minglang is, the more ordinary I feel." After Gongsun Wan'er said these words, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Shangguan Tang saw the problem immediately: "You don't think you are ordinary, you have stayed in the inner house for too long, you are sick and depressed."
Gongsun Wan'er blinked: "Depression? I'm sick? How come I don't know."
Shangguan Tang said: "You should go out for a walk or find something else to do."
Before getting married, Gongsun Wan'er often went out to eat, drink and have fun. Even if she didn't go out, she would find some fun for herself. But since she got married and had children, her mind has been on her man and children. Although there are servants in the house, there are still many things that need her to worry about.
In the eyes of others, she may be happy, leisurely, and noble, but no one can see the sorrow in her heart.
"How long has it been since you held a party?"
"How long has it been since you last visited the villa?"
"When I was not in Beijing, did you go shopping by yourself?"
No matter what Shangguan Tang asked, Gongsun Wan'er just shook her head.
Shangguan Tang pulled her distressedly: "You shouldn't be so sentimental, you should be lively and cheerful, carefree, don't think too much about some things, do what you want to do, speak up if you have concerns, don't keep everything in your heart, your children, your man, your friends, they are not unreasonable people."
"You are the noble Princess Pearl!"
