From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 186 Seizing Power
In a family of generals, all the men died on the battlefield, and the Mei family had the most widows.Especially in his grandfather's generation, all the old wives of the Mei family's offshoots were widowed at a young age, and even his grandmother had been widowed for more than ten years.Therefore, he said sharply: "I tell you, the big sister is doing well, and she has not disgraced the Mei family. In the future, no one of you is allowed to criticize this matter, and you are not allowed to speak behind your back. If you hear such gossip in the future, you must Strictly stop it. The eldest sister is the pride of our Mei family, and she is the outstanding daughter of this generation of Mei family. Fourth sister, you must learn from the eldest sister and get along well with the eldest sister in the future. Mother is unreliable, you I reckon the marriage depends on the elder sister."

After a pause, Mei Guangjian went on to say: "The emperor has decreed that eldest sister is the eldest princess. Given how much uncle loves her, this mansion must be in charge of her. Fourth sister, you are already 14 years old." Now, the marriage must be settled within the next two years. Originally, my mother is unreliable and the third brother should help you find a match, but you also know that the third brother has only a few friends, and they are not suitable for you. And if you want to marry well, I also want to ask my eldest sister to take you out to meet the wives of different families, only in this way will someone come to propose marriage."

As a man, he usually doesn't care about these things at all. He is also the second elder brother Mei Zhongkai who only asked after knowing that his mother wanted to give Jingchu to Gao's cousin.

Mei Zhongkai knows everything, the most important thing is that he never dies in studying.Therefore, I know what the daughters' families in the capital say about their engagement.

Mei Jingchu knew that she had heard from her second aunt Lin before, she nodded and said, "Well, I know, and I remember it. Third brother, don't worry, I will get along well with big sister in the future."

Because she has an arrogant and domineering younger sister and a mother who treats her like a dog, Mei Jingchu has a cautious personality.However, this also has a little advantage, that is, it will not compete with others, it is harmless, and it is easy to make people feel sympathetic and protective.

Mei Guangjian was very happy and relieved to see his younger sister Ruzi Kejiao. He nodded heavily and said, "Third brother believes in you! I asked the second brother yesterday, and the second brother said that the eldest sister is very nice. You will see me later." Don't be afraid, she can just say what she wants to say."

He is only one year older than Mei Zhongkai, although they are cousins, they have a very good relationship, plus they practice martial arts together, he has always believed in his words.Therefore, when he said that Mei Xin was a nice person, he believed that she was a nice person.

The two siblings looked at each other, and Mei Yongkang and Mei Jingchu said "OK" at the same time, and then the three siblings continued to walk towards the study in the front yard.

The entire Prince Liang's Mansion was under Mei Xin's control, and it didn't take long for the conversation between the three of them to fall into her ears verbatim.Knowing that Gao is not only very eccentric but also has been subsidizing her mother's family with money from Prince Liang's mansion, she is very unhappy.

She was not happy because of the money, compared to Shangguan Xinrou's little subsidy, she was unhappy because of her attitude.As a mother, she can understand that she can't treat everyone equally. After all, five fingers are different in length, not to mention every child is different.But she wanted to marry Jingchu to her natal nephew, which was very disappointing and shocking. If she didn't know what kind of virtue he was, it would be fine. She knew what kind of person he was, and she was not a good match, so she threw her daughter into the fire pit Push, this cannot be forgiven.

When the emperor was angry, his corpse was buried for thousands of miles, and when the major general was angry, the entire Prince Liang's mansion would tremble three times.Therefore, Mei Xin not only agreed to all the requests made by Mei Guangjian, but also handed over the monthly silver of all the owners of the third room to Jingchu.This is not over yet, she also ordered the newly appointed accountant, that from now on, the monthly silver of the third room can only be collected at the beginning of the month, and others will collect it, and will not give it.

Of course, this is not exactly what she meant, she just proposed to let the three of them discuss it among themselves.When the three of them heard this, they felt that this method was very good, and it would also prevent Mrs. Gao from sending money to her natal family, so they agreed without thinking about it.

Originally, Mei Xin wanted Mei Guangjian to take the money. After all, he was the eldest son of the third family, and Jing Chu was timid. If she was given the money, Gao would definitely go for it.But he is different. First, he just had a big fight with Gao, and second, Gao has nothing to do with him. As long as he is not willing to give it, let alone take money, even the shadow of money, Gao can not see.

Because he clearly knew that he was not a careful person, Mei Guangjian refused without even thinking about it.And he also wanted to train Mei Jingchu, and wanted her to take the opportunity to learn from being a housekeeper.Therefore, under his repeated request, this matter fell on Mei Jingchu's head.

At first, Mei Jingchu was unwilling, just like Mei Xin was worried that she would lose sight of money.But Mei Guangjian promised her that he would tell Gao about this matter, and if she dared to ask her for money, he would immediately send her back to Gao's family.

Seeing how powerful her brother was before, Mei Jingchu firmly believed in his promise, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, then I will take care of it first, and I will hand it over to my sister-in-law when she enters the door."

There was excitement in the shy smile, and Mei Jingchu suddenly found that the feeling of being valued and needed by others was really good.

Her brother is two years older than her, so he must marry her first before he gets married.Therefore, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Mei Guangjian didn't think about it, so he couldn't help laughing when he heard it suddenly.He waved his hand and said, "It's early, I plan to start a family at the age of 20. Big sister, I want to join the army, I want to go to the army to practice experience, what do you think?"

After learning martial arts for so many years, I dare not say how good it is, but I always want to go out and make a fortune.What's more, he is still very young, he has been nesting at home and has no future, and he will not have any good future.

Serving in the army to earn military merits, not to mention being an official up to the third rank like Mei Xin, at least has an official rank, and she can choose a daughter-in-law in the future.He really had enough of his mother's bitterness and short-sightedness, and he was afraid. He must marry a sensible daughter-in-law in the future.

Unexpectedly, he still had such ambition, Mei Xin said happily: "Okay, but I can't make the decision on this matter, I must get the consent of the third uncle. If the third uncle disagrees, you can't go there. There are three Auntie, it's best to mention it too."

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes and may die at any time. She doesn't want to be scolded and blamed in the future.Therefore, this matter has to be approved by his parents.

In fact, as a mother, Mei Xin understood why Gao did not let Mei Guangjian practice martial arts with her.There is no other reason. She is a member of the army. Following her and being influenced by her, she must want to join the army in the future.But joining the army is too hard, with your head tied to your trouser belt, and Liangzhou is not peaceful, and you have to go to the battlefield from time to time.If it was her, maybe she would do the same.

I have long wanted to go to Liangzhou to join the army, but my mother has always refused. Mei Guangjian seemed to have expected that Mei Xin would say this, he took out a letter and handed it to her, saying: "My father agrees, just because he is worried about my martial arts skills. No, I will embarrass my ancestors on the battlefield."
