It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 786
Meng Mingzhou glanced at Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu, then put Mu Mu in his arms on the ground and said to Meng Tao with a smile, "It's nothing, grandson just thinks that grandson has already served in the Ministry of War, Ming Xu should be released. ··”

Meng Tao nodded slightly when he heard the words, "It is true that the former emperor forbade both brothers or father and son to work in Yuncheng, but the current His Majesty and the former emperor must have different ideas..."

Meng Mingzhou pursed his lips and smiled, "Grandpa said that our current Majesty is a Ming Emperor."

Su Chenrui was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa, why did the late emperor taboo that both brothers or father and son both worked in Yuncheng?"

Meng Tao felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he explained, "In short, the first emperor suffered a disadvantage more than 30 years ago, so he is more taboo..."

Meng Mingxu felt something was wrong, "But, but ten years ago, both you and your father worked in Yuncheng..."

Meng Tao was taken aback by Meng Mingxu's question, then laughed, "There are exceptions to everything!"

"And at that time, your father's position did not have any real power."

Su Rui, who was listening on the sidelines, realized that at that time, the late emperor must have felt that the Meng family had nothing to threaten the royal family, so he let Meng Tao and Meng Zhongshan both work in Yuncheng, instead of letting one out and leaving the other...
Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu also understood, only Meng Mingzhou picked up the teacup and didn't drink or speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Meng Zongan asked naively, "Uncle, Uncle, where are your official uniforms?"

Meng Mingxu replied with a smile, "I just measured the size today, and I won't get it until a month later..."

Meng Zongan blinked his big eyes when he heard the words, "One month? So what are the little and big uncles going to wear?"

Su Chenrui patted his head, "I have three months' vacation with your little uncle..."

Meng Zongan opened his mouth wide with a "wow", "Three months? Such a long time..."

Su Rui was also shocked, "Three months? I remember that it didn't take that long when your second brother-in-law won the first prize..."

Meng Mingzhou explained to his daughter-in-law with a smile when he heard the words, "Each issue is not certain. Sometimes when there is a lack of officials in various places, the imperial court will not give leave, and there are also some who are allowed to take office immediately..."

After a pause, he continued, "There are three months of vacation, what are your plans?"

Su Chenrui looked at Su Rui, thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to my hometown, after all, I'm the eldest son of our house, I want to go back to worship our ancestors..."

Hearing this, Meng Tao stroked his beard and praised, "Well, you should go back to worship your ancestors. Although you went back last year when you took the provincial examination, this year you passed the second-class Jinshi examination, and you will be a serious official in the future. , if you don’t go back this time, if you want to go back again, you will have the chance to go back three years later when the Shu Jishi is assigned here.”

Meng Zhongshan also agreed, "You can still visit your grandfather when you go back to worship your ancestors. I heard that your grandfather is not young anymore. While he is still in good condition, let's take a look..."

Su Rui thought for a while and said, "Chen Rui, since you want to go back to worship your ancestors, you should start early. After all, the distance is not close. It takes more than two months to go back and forth on the road, and you won't be able to stay in your hometown for long even if you're full."

Su Chenrui nodded, "Tomorrow must be too late, I plan to leave the day after tomorrow..."

Su Rui nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll ask the housekeeper to pack up some items for the relatives tomorrow..."

Seeing that Su Chenrui had made arrangements, Meng Mingzhou looked at Meng Mingxu again, "Mingxu, what about you? What's your plan?"

Meng Mingxu really has an idea, he told Su Chenrui before the exam, "Brother, I want to be with Chenrui..."

"After all, I have lived in Sujia Village for so many years, and I may not go back in the future. I want to take this opportunity to go back and have a look..."

After speaking, he still didn't forget to look at his grandfather, he was afraid that his grandfather would disagree.

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Okay, you two go and return together, it's safer to have a companion on the way..."

Meng Mingxu was overjoyed when he heard the words, but the joy turned into worry in an instant, "But, Yiyi..."

Before finishing speaking, Su Rui answered, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yiyi. Yushu still has two children. When you come back, you will definitely see Yiyi in good spirits, Yushu and Yong in good health. Knowledge and religious law."

Jiang Shi also smiled and said, "Mingxu, Chen Rui, you two can rest assured, there are so many people in the family, if your sister is too busy, grandma will help you..."

In fact, there is no need for her and Su Rui to do it, so many servants in the family are not raised for nothing, they just say so to make Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu feel at ease when they go out...
It seems that summer has entered Yuncheng in one night, Su Rui is so hot that she can't wait to hold the ice mirror for twelve hours, so no matter how Yun Wanjiao and Yun Wanxian invite her, she is unwilling to go out.

No, when she didn't go out, Yun Wanjiao and Yun Wanxian came to her on their own initiative.

Yun Wanxian looked at Su Rui with two ice mirrors placed beside her, and the girl behind her was also fanning her, she was also fanning herself crazily, she felt very surprised, "Sister Rui, you are so hot ?"

Su Rui wrinkled her bright and pretty face, and said bitterly, "It's hot, why is it so hot in May?"

Su Rui felt that the temperature must have exceeded 35 degrees. Since she came to this dynasty for so many years, the temperature in May has never been so high. It almost killed her...
Yun Wanjiao thought for a while and said, "Since it's hot, why don't you go to the Royal Palace to escape the heat?"

Su Rui's eyes lit up, "To escape the heat? Is the Royal Palace cool?"

Yun Wanjiao smiled and nodded, "It's much cooler than Yuncheng, but it's quite far away. It's more than 100 miles away from Yuncheng. It takes a day's carriage to get there..."

The light in Su Rui's eyes instantly went out, "Huh? It's so far away, forget it...my two younger siblings will give birth in a few days, and I have to make full moon wine for my two children..."

Yun Wanxian blinked, "If you can't go to the palace, you can also go to the Lotus Lake outside the city to escape the summer heat. There are many pavilions built on the lotus lake. Every summer when the lotus blooms, many female relatives go there to escape the summer heat... "..."

Yun Wanjiao praised, "That's right, why did I forget about Lianhua Lake, I used to go there often before I left the cabinet..."

Su Rui looked puzzled, "Lotus Lake? Why haven't I heard of it in Yuncheng for several years?"

Yun Wanjiao explained with a smile, "This lotus lake actually belongs to my father's aunt, that is, my aunt and grandmother. It's just because women are not as convenient as men, and they can go around everywhere, so when my aunt and grandmother were alive, they just Propose with my father, that this lotus lake should be made public to the female family members of the imperial court..."

"so···"
