From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 263

Zongzheng Mingzhen, a nagging old lady who likes to take care of everything, is really afraid, and this is one of the reasons why he has not yet married a wife.

Looking into the distance with his face sinking like water, Zongzheng Mingzhen was a little confused for a moment.In his last life, he had clear requirements for his future partner, but after his rebirth, he felt that it was not important at all.Now, it seems to have changed into the appearance of Mei Xin.That stubborn girl's cold eyes were like the frost of a thousand years, like a treasured knife drawn out of its sheath, it was hard to hide its sharpness.

She is the bright pearl and the sun, she shines brilliantly no matter where she goes.What about him?

He was silent for a long time, and he didn't come back to himself until Lamei came to invite him to have dinner.Standing up, with a blank expression on his face, he glanced at Liujiu and said: "Don't say these words again, let Uncle Ji restrain the servants in the mansion, and no one is allowed to gossip."

Not knowing what it meant, he was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed his head and said: "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

Seeing that Zongzheng Mingzhen's face was not good, Lamei seemed to be in a bad mood.Not daring to say much, he followed silently and hurried away.

In Prince Liang's Mansion, in the dining room, everyone in the fourth room of Mei's family ate here except the angry Mrs. Gao, Mr. Mei Er, Mei Jingqiu who was sent out, and Mrs. Mei who hadn't woken up yet.

Mei Xin didn't have so many rules, men and women didn't sit at separate tables like before, let alone separated by a screen.She wanted to celebrate with excitement that Shangguan Xinrou had finally left, so she specially asked Luo Qiu to put the two tables together, and everyone sat in a circle.

A mutton pot is placed in front of three or four people, and there are about seven or eight on the table in a circle.It was steaming hot, and the delicious smell of meat permeated the entire dining room.

I am happy today, Mei Xin opened a bottle of wine and went out to buy some other fruit wines that my sisters usually like.Ordering Luoqiu to pour it for everyone, she said: "I don't know what my aunt and brothers and sisters like to eat, so I simply asked the kitchen to prepare three kinds of pots, chicken, beef, and mutton. You can eat whatever you like. I have offended you so much in the past two days, today is an apology, if there is something wrong, I hope my aunt and brothers and sisters will forgive me."

"I'm a rough man. I grew up in a military camp. I can't say nice things, and I can't learn hypocrisy. But today I want to tell everyone that I do this for nothing. I just hope that our family can unite and help each other. Brothers and brothers are respectful, sisters are friendly. We can’t write two characters of plum in one stroke, we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If the Mei family is good, we are all good, if the Mei family is not good, we will all be unlucky. I I don’t ask my brothers and sisters to honor their ancestors, I just hope that you don’t lose face and discredit your ancestors.”

"Nowadays, outsiders see our Prince Liang's mansion as flowers and brocade cooking oil, and I was named the princess of the town. No one can match my honor for a while. But is this really the case? The censors in the court repeatedly impeached the Mei family The merit is so high that the emperor didn't say anything, and the excerpts were left unpublished, but does he really not care?"

"Not at all, so, the more we have to be cautious at this time, the less we can do wrong things. I let you practice martial arts not entirely for the sake of strengthening your health. I hope that each of you has the ability to protect yourself. One day If the general, me, and your big brother die in battle, I hope some of you can go to the battlefield, and I hope you can defend Liangzhou." At this point, Mei Xin paused, and took a deep breath, which was a bit difficult. Said: "There is no such aristocratic family that lasts forever, and the same is true of the Mei family. And if one day the butcher's knife hangs around your neck, I hope that each of you can survive."

Considering that they were still young, Mei Xin didn't intend to say it.But after thinking about it, they are all the Mei family, and they all have the blood of the Mei family on their bodies, so they should know.I also hope to give them a sense of crisis, inspire them to work hard, and understand her painstaking efforts and kindness.

The words startled everyone, and all the people who had been feeling good all changed their faces.Looking at each other, looking at each other, thinking that something important happened at home, Mei Guangjian protruded and said: "Big sister, what do you mean, is it uncle..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mei Xin, who only heard her say: "My father is fine, he should have woken up by now. Don't be nervous, nothing happened at home. It's just that I hope you all wake up." Stay alert, there is still a long way to go, and no one knows what will happen, I hope you are all vigilant at all times."

"Second Aunt, Fourth Aunt, spoiling the child excessively is not for the benefit of the child, but for the harm of the child. So, please bear with me in the future. If there is anything wrong with me, you can also mention it."

Martial arts and reading, these two things are not negotiable, you have to learn if you don't study, as for other things, they can be discussed.

Although Mrs. Lin has her own little calculations, she is not an unreasonable person.Knowing that Mei Xin was really looking out for them, she said: "What Xin'er said is that Auntie knows. Don't worry, Auntie will never hold you back, and will definitely urge them to study hard."

She raised her hand in embarrassment, and Zeng followed suit: "Me too, I will too!"

Mei Xin was quite satisfied with their answers. She raised the wine cup in her hand and said, "I've made up my mind. From now on, I will take a quiz once a month. I can grant one wish to the best one. There will be one quota for martial arts training and one for reading." , everyone must work hard in the future."

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the combination of leniency and strictness is the way to control subordinates. Although they are not his subordinates, the reason is the same.

Mei Zhongkai was the first to agree, and he said with a smile: "It's a good idea, and save everyone from running out."

Before the words were finished, Mei Shi'en spoke, and asked solemnly: "Big sister, I want to take my mother and my sister to Ginkgo Street for a meal, okay?"

"Okay, why not, as long as you do well in the exam, let alone one meal, two meals are fine." Knowing that he is a dutiful son in the previous life, Mei Xin was very happy.

Since the housekeepers of Shangguan Xinrou had emptied their money, the food in the house was not very good except for the old lady, let alone eating in the restaurant on Ginkgo Street.Therefore, Mei Shien was overjoyed upon hearing this, and turned to Zeng and said, "Mother, don't worry, my son will pass the exam, and I will take you and my sister out to eat out!"

Looking at her well-behaved and filial son, Zeng was both moved and sad.She couldn't help but hugged him into her arms, touched his back and said, "Okay, mother is waiting!"

"I'm waiting too, brother, I want to eat too." Mei Qingke was overjoyed when she heard that she was going out to eat out. She has never eaten out since she was so old.

Seeing their family of three excited about going out for a meal, Mei Xin felt quite uncomfortable.It sounds like people like them are like this, but Mrs. Mei insisted on living her life like this.
