Several times in dreams

Chapter 7 Spring Banquet
Next March, it will be time for Lu Shenggong Mansion to hold a spring banquet again.

Although it is the Republic of China, and there have been years of wars, as long as we are still alive, we still have to have what we should have, right?

There are big and respectable families in the city, or aristocratic families with titles in the previous dynasty, as long as they receive an invitation from Lu Shenggong's mansion, they are all proud of it, and they are all ready to bring their families to the banquet.

The Meng family was naturally the first to receive the invitation.

Speaking of the spring banquet in Lu Shenggong's mansion, it was held every year, but a few years ago because of the chaos of the year, it was suspended, and even Lu Shenggong himself hid in the provincial capital.

Since the year before last, the world has become more stable. Duke Lu moved back to the holy city and started holding the spring banquet again.

Looking back hundreds of years, the Spring Banquet was originally intended to connect the nobles, gentry, rich and powerful families from all over the holy city to make friends with each other, so as to prosper and prosper together.

I don't know from which generation family members began to take care of their families. As long as they are 16 years old and unmarried, they will be brought by their grandmothers or mothers, and there will be another seat in the side courtyard.

During the banquet, the family members of each family can freely visit the huge back garden of Lu Shenggong Mansion. To put it bluntly, it is to give the wives of each family a chance to see each other and prepare for the future marriage.

Last year, Meng Wanyun was taken by Mrs. He to the Spring Banquet, and Meng Wanying still remembers the show off when she came back.

Wanying also wanted to go, not because she wanted to be seen by others, but because she heard that in the garden of Lu Shenggong's mansion, there are rockery, ponds, bamboo forests, stone islands, waterside pavilions, flower docks, and curved bridges. The stone island, the balcony for enjoying the moon, and the altar house for burning incense and reading.

Not to mention the strange mountains and rocks moved from famous mountains in various places, and the exotic flowers and plants sent from gardens in various places. Even after walking for half a day, she never completed half of the garden. You can also have a chance to take a look.

But now that I have been involved in this wronged matter, and have fallen out with my aunt's family, my father passed away, and my mother is no longer alive, so she cannot enter Lu Shenggong's mansion.

If my aunt doesn't take me there, I definitely won't be able to go. Thinking of this makes me feel disheartened for a while, so I don't need to mention it.

On this day, Meng Zhaoxuan and his wife greeted Mrs. Meng and stood around respectfully waiting for orders.

The old man pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Tomorrow's Spring Banquet in Lu Shenggong's Mansion, as usual, Mrs. He, you should bring Wanyun to the banquet with Zhaoxuan."

"The eldest girl is about to be eighteen, and her marriage must be settled quickly. As a mother, you should go out with other mistresses more often, and find a good home for her."

"That's what my father said, and my daughter-in-law has the same plan. This year, Wanyun's marriage must be finalized. In fact, I have already paid attention to the young masters of several families. I will wait for the spring banquet to find out the truth..."

"You take that girl Wanying with you too. Mrs. Li is not allowed to enter the palace, and Wanying is sixteen years old. After all, she is also the young lady of our Meng family, so I can't let outsiders laugh at me, Meng Guangfu, for treating one another as one and not another, and my heart is cold..."

Mrs. He was chattering excitedly, but was interrupted straight away. Old Master Meng knew that if she continued, she could talk until noon.

"Take her? I said father, this stinky girl has no rules and no rules. If she causes trouble again, she will definitely lose the face of our Meng family!"

"So, it's up to you, the eldest aunt, to teach you well. You have already brought Wanyun there once, so you understand the rules, and Wanyun is also a good teacher. I am relieved to let you take her this time. , if something happens to her, I will ask you!" Old Master Meng taught half-truthfully.

"No, father..."

"That's it. I'm old and very tired. I have to go out tomorrow. You should prepare early."

He was 1 unhappy, Meng Zhaoxuan winked, and He thought he had an idea to solve the problem, so he quickly followed and quit.

Meng Zhaoxuan didn't say a word all the way, making Mrs. He anxious, like a monkey scratching his heart, walked to the gazebo by the garden, couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Meng Zhaoxuan's sleeve to explain clearly.

"Master, do you have an idea? I can't take that dead girl to the spring banquet! Originally, I planned it well. The young masters in the photo, I heard that the mistresses of the family are going to the banquet, so I just met her." good time!"

"You said to take her, I don't have the heart to do anything else. I'm afraid I can't see her if I just stare at her. When something happens, it's a small shame for your Meng family. I'm afraid that the next family Look down on us and delay our Wanyun's marriage!"

"Master, you are talking! You must persuade the old man to change his mind, this girl will not be on the big stage!"

"Okay, it's not that you don't know your father's temper, and you let others persuade you? I asked you to come out because I was afraid that you would talk nonsense and make him unhappy!"

"You!" Mrs. He's eyes were wide open, and she was about to throw a tantrum. Meng Zhaoxuan quickly shook Mrs. He's hand, and slowly helped her to the gazebo to sit down, "Don't worry, madam. ..."

"Is this okay?" Mrs. He was dubious, staring at Meng Zhaoxuan with both eyes, as if wanting to get into his heart and lungs, "Didn't you use a slow-down strategy to stabilize me?"

"Of course it's fine. Wanying has a bit of a naughty character, but she has nothing to say about her filial piety. Besides, my father is afraid that she will cause trouble again, so he will take care of her in private. Didn't you see it?"

"See what?"

"Father felt very guilty after imposing family laws on her. It's not convenient to say it. Taking her to the spring feast this time is also a gesture of goodwill. So Madam, if you do as I say, you will be safe and sound. Family and everything will be prosperous, after two years, let's find a wealthy family for this girl to marry, and it will be done once and for all."

Meng Zhaoxuan really said it with all his heart and soul, and Mrs. He couldn't help but not believe it. After all, the husband and wife were of one mind. Turning around, Mrs. He went to Li Mengxian's other courtyard.

Li Mengxian was circling anxiously in the yard, seeing that Mrs. He didn't even bring a girl with her, she was even more confused, so she greeted Mrs. He in panic.

"Sister-in-law, is that girl Wanying causing trouble again? Although her father released her restraint, she never stepped out of the yard!"

"Every day I'm either reading or just staring in a daze. I swear to God, I've never been out of the house, and I won't cause trouble again! Why did my father send someone to call her away again? This child has a stubborn temper, so I told her, Don't talk back to grandfather, don't make him angry, Amitabha..."

Mrs. He chuckled, and Meng Zhaoxuan really said that, the old master called the girl to show his favor, and taught the rules that should be taught by the way, which saved himself trouble.

Immediately, He felt a lot more relaxed. On the way here, he thought of a lot of strategies, how to deal with that disobedient little bitch, but he didn't expect to think too much. As for Li Mengxian, it's much easier to deal with.

"Oh, brother and sister, look what you're thinking! I'm here to tell you great news!"

"The old man ordered to go to the Spring Banquet in the mansion today. Originally, this Wanying just got into trouble, and her father would not allow her to go, but, I think the girl is also sixteen, so I should go out to meet her." In the world, besides, younger siblings, you can't enter the government, I don't handle it, who can help you handle it, I want to say that this father agreed to take Wanying with him, no, I rushed to tell you about it Woolen cloth!"

"Sister-in-law!" Li Mengxian burst into tears immediately. It was like a dream. She knew about the spring banquet a long time ago, but she couldn't enter the palace. Wanying and He's mother and daughter tore their faces. What about the spring banquet?

In the past few days, Li Mengxian wept secretly, lamenting that her life was so poor that her daughter was not treated well, unexpectedly...

"Sister-in-law, in the next life I will repay you by being an ox or a horse for you. You gave me your son. Wanying is ignorant. Instead of blaming her, you still think about her everywhere. I will ask her to kowtow to you and admit her mistakes. This girl, My stubborn temper will drive me to death sooner or later!"

"Brothers and sisters, look at what you said, what is yours and mine, a family, a family and everything will prosper!"

He made Li Mengxian cry inexplicably, and was about to get impatient, "I'm here, first, to tell you this good thing, and second, to teach the girl the rules of going out, so that you don't cause trouble outside. , don't ruin the reputation of the Meng family!"

Seeing that Li Mengxian could only nod her head, Mrs. He was very satisfied. She turned her head and saw Wanying's girl Chunni, and said sharply: "Tomorrow, you have to take good care of your lady. If anything goes wrong, I want you, little slut life!"

After finishing speaking, under the horrified eyes of the master and servant, he turned and left.
