Chapter 35: Poor hearts of parents in the world
"Someone is coming quickly!" Zhou Mo knelt on the ground, held Lang Xing in his arms, and shouted anxiously.
Zhou's house is very big, and it's night, and people are living in other courtyards. When they hear Zhou Mo's shouts, even if they rush over immediately, it will take some time.
As soon as Zhou Mo finished speaking, a light came on in his mother's room, which was originally dark.
With a creak, the door opened.
Zhou's mother walked out eagerly. When she saw Lang Xing fainted in Zhou Mo's arms, she said anxiously: "It's cold outside. Come into my room quickly."
Zhou Mo picked up Lang Xing and followed his mother into the room. At his mother's signal, he placed Lang Xing on his mother's couch.
Mother Zhou touched Langxing's neck. It was very hot, and her face suddenly became more anxious. She hurriedly brought a basin of cold water, soaked a handkerchief, and gently applied it to her forehead to cool it down.
He then took off his outer shirt, shoes and socks, found another handkerchief and soaked it in water, and gently wiped Lang Xing's hands and feet, while Zhou Mo was holding a basin and wiping his hands.
During the whole process, Zhou's mother's attention was focused on her daughter-in-law, and she didn't take another look at Zhou Mo. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Lang Xing's belly bulging slightly, obviously indicating that she had been pregnant for several months.
Zhou's mother turned around and glared at Zhou Mo fiercely, which made Zhou Mo's scalp numb. Then she shed tears again and said, "I only wanted to punish you a little, but I didn't expect it."
You stand here like a normal person, but you endanger innocent people."
Zhou's mother gently stroked Langxing's hair and said sadly: "If there is anything wrong between her and the child in her belly, how can I live with my conscience?"
"This matter has nothing to do with the mother. It's all because of the poor care of the child." Zhou Mo said.
Mother Zhou said with tears in her eyes: "What's the use of talking about this now. When you grow up and become successful, you do whatever you want to do. Have you ever thought about the feeling of being a mother?"
"The child is unfilial. The child realizes his mistake."
"I don't allow you to say such unfilial words." Zhou's mother said: "The ancients said that the hair and skin of the body are received by the parents and dare not be damaged. This is the beginning of filial piety. Establishing one's moral character and making a name for future generations to show off one's parents is the end of filial piety.
You are now famous all over Shu, and you have a beginning and an end, so what is there to be unfilial about? I only hate myself for my poor fortune."
The principle of filial piety was the foundation for the establishment of scholar-bureaucrats in the Han Dynasty. The most formal way for a scholar-official to embark on an official career was called the Judgment of Filial Piety and Integrity. Confucius and Wenwen were famous all over the world, but the one who was most praised was a young man named Rang Li when he was a child.
The short story shows the importance of filial piety in the minds of the ancients.
Zhou's mother did not want to admit that Zhou Mo was unfilial because she was concerned about his future and reputation.
Although she was very sad, what she thought about most was her child.
The pitiful hearts of parents all over the world are the same in ancient and modern times.
Zhou Mo understood what his mother was thinking, and was worried about Lang Xing's health, so he couldn't help but blame himself severely and secretly feel sad.
After a while, someone asked to see him outside the door. It was the palace maid next to Lang Xing who was proficient in medical skills who arrived.
She immediately checked Langxing's pulse, cooked some medicine for her to take, and then said to Zhou's mother Zhou Mo: "There is no serious problem now. If there is no accident, Madam will wake up soon. Just stay in bed and rest more from now on."
.It’s just because it’s very cold outside. My wife is pregnant and very tired from traveling and traveling these past few days, but she insisted on kneeling outside with General Zhou, so she caught the wind and cold.”
Zhou Mo and his mother breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Lang Xing was okay.
Zhou's mother's mood also improved a little. She looked at Lang Xing from top to bottom, and gently stroked her arm. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her, and her dissatisfaction with Zhou Mo was slightly relieved.
"She is a good girl who can share joys and sorrows with you. What is her name?" Zhou's mother asked.
"Her name is Langxing. The sky is bright and clear, the star among the stars." Zhou Mo said, "Although Langxing is from the south, she can speak Chinese. I also taught her some Han Chinese etiquette."
Mother Zhou said: "What kind of Han etiquette can I learn from you? I think you are the most deviant and disrespectful person."
"My kid knows I'm wrong." Zhou Mo quickly lowered his head.
Zhou's mother sighed and said: "Actually, etiquette is not very important. As long as you are kind-hearted and can know the warmth and warmth of others, it is good. I think my daughter-in-law here is a good girl who knows the warmth and warmth of others." She turned around and looked at her again.
Zhou Mo glanced at him and said, "I'm much better than you."
"It's just that she is a barbarian woman after all. Your uncle has already fallen in love with the daughter of the Qin family in Mianzhu for you. The two families have already reached an agreement. They will just wait for you to come back and pay the betrothal gift. You are acting like this, so your uncle has no choice but to take care of you.
Taking the gift, he went to personally explain his apology to the Qin family. Unexpectedly, Qin Mi turned your uncle away and said angrily: "The Master said, the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, your son married a barbarian, it is a good match, and they complement each other. I, Qin Mi,
How can a tiger girl marry a dog?' Your uncle was choked for words and had no way to refute. Alas, look at the good things you have done, your uncle's old face has been completely embarrassed by you, do you think my mother can not be angry with you?"
Zhou Mo said: "It's just a Qin family. If you are evil, you are evil. I will go to my uncle to apologize. I am only worried about my mother. I worry about the child all day and night. If I am hurt, the child will be guilty.
."
Mother Zhou said: "Your words mean that you still have your mother in your heart, and your mother is happier than anything else."
Zhou Mo looked at the sleeping Lang Xing tenderly and said: "When I was in Nanzhong, I was dealing with the barbarian king Gaoding. The situation was very dangerous, but Lang Xing risked his life several times for me, regardless of his own safety.
She is sincere to me, and I swear in my heart that I will never let her down."
"As for her identity as a Southern Barbarian woman, I had already made a decision in my heart when I married her. She would risk her life for me, so why can't I abandon the prejudices of the Han Barbarians and marry her? Ruoniang learned that
My son will be happy for me if he marries such a good wife."
"With my own abilities, I am now a high-ranking official. In the future, I will follow the prime minister, conquer the south and the north, and establish unparalleled achievements. Why should I rely on the Qin family of Mianzhu?"
"As for marrying without telling me, it is indeed the son's fault. The main reason is that I was worried that my mother and uncle would not allow it, so I had to come up with a tactic of cutting off the marriage first and then reporting it later."
When Mother Zhou heard Zhou Mo say "raw rice, cooked rice" and saw Lang Xing's slightly bulging belly, she couldn't help but feel an unknown fire in her heart, and she twisted the soft flesh around her son's waist.
, it only hurt so much that Zhou Mo screamed loudly.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Zhou's mother's lips, and her resentment towards her son disappeared in an instant.
Langxing vaguely heard Zhou Mo shouting loudly in his sleep, thinking that Zhou Mo was in danger. Moved by his thoughts, he woke up leisurely and slowly opened his eyes.
In front of her eyes, she only saw a kind-hearted middle-aged lady, smiling happily towards her. This smile was sincere and refreshing, and she couldn't help but think of her mother who had passed away long ago.<
