urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 178 Perfection
When Meng Yi came back for lunch at noon, he heard the news that he had an extra brother.

After he hurried to visit his younger brother, he was also very worried and whispered to his sister: "Sister, my younger brother is not very good-looking."

"You don't need to be so euphemistic to say, what doesn't look good, you just don't see it." Mu Zhaozhao sighed weakly: "If I hadn't been guarding the door at that time, I would have suspected that my brother had been dropped."

She patted Meng Yi's thin shoulder: "No matter how ugly he is, he is still our younger brother, let's protect him more in the future."

Meng Yi suddenly felt that he had a little more responsibility, and firmly accepted the courage to take care of his younger brother, puffed up his chest, and nodded vigorously: "Sister, don't worry, I will protect my younger brother."

"Fortunately, our Meng family has some money." Mu Zhaozhao couldn't hide his joy: "You don't have to worry about my younger brother not being able to marry a wife in the future."

Meng Yi also nodded: "That's right, that's right, after a while, if you use all those pearl powders and beauty creams, maybe my brother will look better too."

"Fortunately, it's not my sister." Meng Yi rejoiced secretly, otherwise, he might have to prepare a lot of dowry, or prepare to recruit a son-in-law.

"Yeah, it's really a blessing." Mu Zhaozhao and Meng Yi studied together, and finally left pretending to be calm.

After Mu Zhaozhao went back, she went to find Nanny Wen. She would never forget that her great-grandfather said that her mother would give birth prematurely because of a problem with her clothes.

Mother Wen was in poor health at first, but fortunately the three generations of the Meng family were all doctors, and after more than half a year of intensive care, her health is much better now.

This also allowed her to enter the delivery room with energy today, but her spirit was tense all morning, and she felt a little tired when she came back, so she ate something, washed up briefly, and then went to sleep first.

When she woke up, she got up and walked around the screen, and saw Mu Zhaozhao sitting outside reading a book.

"Miss, you are here."

"You've worked hard today, ma'am." Mu Zhaozhao handed her a cup of bird's nest with rock sugar: "Mama, have some snacks first."

Mother Wen took it after thanking her.

Speaking of which, she lived cautiously in the palace, and her diet was very light, and she seldom ate these nourishing good things.

After leaving the palace, her natal family wanted to take advantage of her, which made her dare not be reckless in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Later, when she fell ill, she spent almost all her money on medical treatment.

Seeing that life is stretched and his condition worsens, he thought that his life was really coming to an end.

Who would have expected that there would be another village where the willows are dark and the flowers will be bright, and I met the Meng family, and now I am living a comfortable, comfortable and pampered life.

She felt that she really underestimated the Meng family's family property at the beginning, and the food and clothing expenses of the Meng family were much better than those of the concubines in the palace.

But it was also because the Meng family didn't treat themselves as slaves, so Mammy Wen put in more effort to guide Mu Zhaozhao and Yu Wanniang and the others.

Now that she saw Mu Zhaozhao, she knew what the eldest lady wanted to know, and said in a deep voice: "Missy, there is something wrong with the embroidery thread on grandma's close-fitting dress, and the person who did it may be someone from the palace. Something like this happened."

"After soaking with embroidery thread, it is colorless and tasteless, but after wearing it close to the body, something will happen after a long time."

"What?" Mu Zhaozhao almost jumped up in shock: "Who spent so much money to harm us, I'll investigate right away."

Sister Wen nodded: "I'll go with Miss."

She has been raised in the Meng Mansion for so long, and now that something has happened to her, she naturally has to work hard so that she can continue to eat and drink well in the future.

That's right, Nanny Wen has already decided that she will stay in the Meng Mansion for the rest of her life. Most of the masters are kind, and more importantly, the Meng family's medical skills are good, which is really suitable for her.

Mu Zhaozhao went to talk to his grandmother first.

Mrs. Meng didn't dare to delay when she heard this, and went to Ruyiju with them.

Yu Wanniang was in a deep sleep right now, not knowing that the maids came in and went out quietly.

Chen Xiang tremblingly said: "Grandmother is good girl, the clothes that are close to the body are all made by hand, and the servants are starched."

After carefully inspecting these underwear, Sister Wen found a problem: "The previous ones are all fine, but the colors are too bright."

Looking at the servant girl again, she asked, "Where do these embroidery threads come from?"

"It's from the sewing room."

When Mother Wen came to the sewing room and looked at the embroidery threads, she realized the problem: "It's because of these embroidery threads that they are all soaked in potion."

Now Mrs. Su is in charge of the sewing room. When asked which company bought the embroidery thread, Mrs. Su shivered and said with a mournful face: "Mother, we originally used Chen Ji's embroidery thread, but later, we found five The embroidery thread from my aunt’s private workshop is not only better in quality than Chen Ji’s, but also cheaper than Chen Ji’s, so I, just…”

After all, the housekeepers are all for more money. Although the Su family's dowry is not shabby, but she has two sons and a daughter, so she naturally wants to save more money for them.

Therefore, they asked the He family members to send embroidery thread to the Meng Mansion in private. Who would have known that they would have bad intentions?

And Mrs. Meng thought that all the embroidery threads supplied to the house were from the Chen family, so she wouldn't be suspicious, so she didn't pay attention.

What's more, if it wasn't for the coincidence that Nanny Wen was there, they wouldn't know what went wrong even now.

"You, you are really promising!" Mrs. Meng was almost pissed off by her: "Why do you want such a little money?"

Su shrugged her shoulders and said in a low voice: "The main reason is that the embroidery thread is good, and my daughter-in-law thinks that Chen Ji deliberately sold it to us at a high price, so I can't swallow it."

"And you can save seven or eight taels of silver every month, and more than a hundred taels of silver a year?"

Mrs. Meng couldn't control her angry voice: "You, you, they sell such good embroidery thread so cheaply, don't you find something wrong?"

"Mother, I really didn't find out." Su Shi nodded vigorously, and looked at her mother-in-law crying with resentment: "If something is wrong, I will not buy their embroidery thread, let alone my sister-in-law and I have no enmity, Even if there is hatred, I still want to have children, so how dare I use these harmful things?"

The cause was indeed caused by her greed for petty gain, but she was still willing to change it, and she was willing to go to the sister-in-law to make amends, and she generously forgave herself, and by the way promised: "Mother, if I have bad intentions for my sister-in-law, let me be punished by God." Strike by lightning, you will die badly..."

When Mu Zhaozhao heard Second Aunt's words next to him, he could only sigh depressedly, knowing that someone had plotted against Second Aunt.

Among them, Fifth Aunt was also very suspicious.

Mrs. Meng immediately asked Meng Yu to go to Mrs. Fifth's house and asked where the thread embroiderer was.

But Mrs. Fifth said with a shocked face that their family has always used this kind of embroidery thread, and they only bought it after encountering it by accident.

And Mother Wen went to check it out, and she was sure that all the female family members of the fifth wife's family used these embroidery threads, and one of the aunts had a miscarriage last month.

Without clues, trying to find someone who sells embroidery thread in the capital is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, since those people are targeting them, how can they be easily found.

When it came time to send embroidery thread, those people would naturally not show up.

Although this matter looked like a headless injustice, the Meng family still knew something about it.

And Mother Wen also took the opportunity to tell Mu Zhaozhao a lot about the underworld in the palace.

Mu Zhaozhao was so frightened that he patted his chest: "Fortunately, I'm not a court lady, nor a concubine. Otherwise, I have to be careful with what I eat, drink, and use, for fear of being framed by someone, or being tricked by someone. It's so boring."

Then she looked at Nanny Wen adoringly: "Mommy is still amazing."

Mother Wen couldn't help laughing: "I'm also very glad that I can come to Meng's Mansion."

Of course, since his mother gave birth to the clown, Mu Zhaozhao went to see it several times a day.

Anyway, when she got used to looking at it, she found that her younger brother seemed less ugly, and his wrinkled and red face gradually faded away, becoming white and tender.

When the full moon came, it would swell like a steamed bun.

Qin Mu, who hadn't seen him for at least 20 days, saw his fat little cousin and brother-in-law, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "This, this change is too big..."

"Surprised, aren't you?" Seeing his reaction, Mu Zhaozhao smiled and bent over: "If I hadn't watched him every day, I would have wondered if my brother had been dropped."

In fact, children before the full moon rarely see people.

Like Mu Zhaozhao, who saw a full-moon child in his previous life, he didn't even know that children were so ugly when they were born.

And Qin Mu is a foreigner. When his cousin was born, he was still young, so he would not visit him in the confinement room.

When Su's at the side heard this, he joked: "Now you know that children look different every day, right? When you get married and have children in the future, you won't be surprised."

Mu Zhaozhao couldn't laugh anymore when he heard this. A few days ago, they had received the marriage order from the empress, and they were indeed going to marry Qin Mu on the tenth day of October.

Now when Mu Zhaozhao thinks that he won't be able to see his lovely younger brother after getting married, he feels very reluctant.

I also know that the life in Xuanpinghou's mansion is definitely not as comfortable as that of Meng's family.

But Qin Mu was a little excited when he heard what his second aunt said. When he married his cousin, his cousin would also have children for him.

Thinking about it this way, looking at the appearance of the little cousin, it was like seeing his own son.

He carefully touched his legs and kept kicking them, revealing those chubby legs like lotus root joints, white and tender like tofu: "My cousin is really strong."

"Yes," Mrs. Meng smiled from ear to ear: "He can eat and sleep, he is a good boy who loves his mother."

Mu Zhaozhao muttered: "Grandma, those who don't know think you are praising the little pig?"

"You child!" Mrs. Meng smiled from ear to ear: "But it's true, children really can't boast too much, let's go entertain the guests first?"

Today, many guests came to the Meng family's full moon wine. When the banquet started, Yu Wanniang, who had become much plumper after confinement, went out for a walk with her son in her arms, and received countless compliments before returning to her home. Room.

After a while, Mo Ru also came over, looking at the sleeping child, with a look of relief: "It's all right now, you have both children, and with a son, you have confidence in the Meng family."
