Chapter 47 The Zong Family Is Here

On the second day, Mrs. Meng was preparing to take Jiang Nuan to the Zong family and the Cui family to make amends.

Who would have thought that the housekeeper came over in a hurry and said to Mrs. Meng, "Mrs. Zong's family and her second young lady are here."

When Mrs. Meng heard this, she couldn't help being startled. Could it be that Mrs. Zong came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?
Then he asked: "Did his young master come together?"

"These two are the only ones here, and I didn't see the young master." Li's mother said.

"What do you think of their faces?" Meng Shi asked as she walked out, although her heart was pounding, she did not neglect etiquette at all.

"It's what his girl got out of the car and said. This old slave didn't see Mrs. Zong and his young lady." Mother Li also kept following Meng Shi.

He didn't forget to complain: "This eldest lady is really capable of causing trouble, if the young master has a headache, wouldn't it make us eat and walk around."

"It's useless to say these things now. Soldiers will come to stop you, and water will come to cover you!" Meng knew that disaster could not be avoided, and she had already prepared for the worst.

Mrs. Zong was slightly older than Mrs. Meng. When Mrs. Meng came to the door, she just got out of the car.

Her husband Baixiang Hou Zonghuanzhang is now an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is quite a holy family.

Mrs. Zong gave birth to three children. The eldest daughter, Zong Yuxiang, married the second young master of Hua Shilang's family. They have been married for two or three years.The second daughter, Zong Yuwei, is now also confirmed as the eldest grandson of Xu Hanlin's family, and she will marry next year.The youngest son, Zong Tianbao, is the youngest and the only legitimate son in the mansion.

With the status of the Jiang family, they have to look up to the Zong family, and they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays. Therefore, Mrs. Zong came in person today, and it was obvious that the person who came was not kind.

Meng shi was preparing a speech in her heart, with a smile on her face, she stepped forward and wanted to personally help Madam Zong get off the car.

"I don't know that Madam and Second Miss are here, it's really rude." Meng's attitude is affectionate, but she doesn't appear to be obsequious.Those who didn't know thought she and Mrs. Zong's family were good friends.

Mrs. Zong's round face like an autumn moon looks amiable.The second young lady of his family doesn't really look like her mother, she has a delicate little face and big bead-like eyes.

"Mrs. Jiang, don't be surprised. We came here uninvited. It's a bit abrupt." Mrs. Zong said naturally, holding the hand offered by Mrs. Meng.

Meng said quickly: "What are you talking about? It's too late for us to be happy."

After talking, they walked into the mansion together. The maid in front of Meng Shi was clever, and she had already gone to invite Jiang Nuan.

After sitting down and serving tea, Mrs. Meng first praised Zong Yuwei before introducing the main topic: "If my wife doesn't come to our house today, I will also visit your house."

"So I came to the right place, lest you have to work hard." Mrs. Zong smiled with heavy crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, making her look more loving.

Mrs. Meng put away the smile on her face slightly, and said to Mrs. Zong very sorry: "Then I will speak directly if I have something to say. I was going to take our daughter to your house to make amends today. I was at Qingping Lake yesterday. Ah Nuan was really rude. It caused your young master to fall into the water. I don’t know if he was injured? The child didn’t come back until evening, and we didn’t know what happened. But it was too late, so we didn’t have the nerve to go disturb."

"Oh, Mrs. Jiang, I came early in the morning just because I was afraid of making things difficult for you." Mrs. Zong interrupted Meng, "This child Tianbao has been naughty since he was a child. I know I was born by myself. He used to Going out will cause trouble, but it’s better to be older now. He went home yesterday and told me about it. No wonder Ah Nuan at all! It’s all because of his frivolity and mischief.”

"This...you can't say that, the fault is indeed on us, how can you blame your son?" Meng never expected Mrs. Zong to be like this.

She saw Mrs. Zong's amiable attitude before, so she knew that most of them would not quarrel.But at least I can say a few words of theory, or make a few insinuations.

But when Mrs. Zong opened her mouth, she actually accepted all the faults, because it was so unexpected that Meng was at a loss for a while.

"Mrs. Jiang, please don't be polite. I am here today, definitely not to ask the teacher to ask a crime. First, I want to explain to you that this incident was all caused by my unfilial son. We have already told the Cui family, we must not do it again. Trouble with your family. Second, I also want to meet Ah Nuan. I haven’t seen her for many years. I don’t even know that she has entered Beijing. I know!"

Hearing Mrs. Zong say this, Meng suddenly realized, and remembered that Zong Houye had worked in Dengzhou a few years ago.

It's just because Jiang Nuan never mentioned the relationship between her maternal ancestor's family and the Zong family's, so Meng didn't think about it at all.

It turned out that Zong Huanzhang worked in the military and horse department when he was young, and there was a case of ordnance theft.

At that time, Jiang Nuan's grandfather, General Yu, was his boss, and he took all the responsibility for this matter on himself.

Fortunately, the case was solved later, and everyone was innocent.

Zong Huanzhang is a person who knows how to be grateful, so he has always regarded General Yu as his benefactor.

Later, General Yu died in battle, and he went to serve in Dengzhou.Knowing that General Yu's wife and daughter are in Dengzhou, they often visit.

Therefore, Jiang Nuan and Zong Tianbao have known each other since they were young, and Mrs. Ge also met her.

Just as he was talking, Jiang Nuan had already arrived at the door.

Meng's thoughts changed, she quickly got up with a smile, walked over to hold Jiang Nuan's hand and said, "Why did you come here? See your aunt and sister soon."

Jiang Nuan naturally recognized Zong Tianbao's mother, Madam Ge, but she was not very familiar with his family's second lady.

Because when Zong Houye went to Dengzhou to work, he left his two daughters in the capital to accompany his grandmother, and only took his youngest son Zong Tianbao and his wife to Dengzhou.

Jiang Nuan walked over to pay respects to Mrs. Zong, Ge Shi pulled her up and said, "Good boy, please forgive me!"

Then he held her hand tightly and said: "My good boy, I have made you wronged. Don't be as knowledgeable as Tianbao, that little hozen. When I went back yesterday, his father and I have already reprimanded him severely. Call him In the future, don't mess with you again, if he will be offensive to you again in the future, just tell your aunt, and I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Jiang Nuan felt very sorry for what Ge said, and said: "Aunt Zong, don't scold him, I was reckless. I shouldn't be so careless. Thanks to Xia Tian, ​​nothing happened. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret.”

"You girl, why didn't you come to my house when you came to Beijing?!" Ge said lovingly, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've come so well. If I met you on the street, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to recognize her." is you."

Zong Tianbao's second elder sister also came over, looked at Jiang Nuan with a smile, and said to her: "Sister Ah Nuan, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can come to our house to play with me. Treat it like your own home, don't See you!"

　Thank you Shi Gandangdangdang for your reward
