From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 485
Leaning halfway on the quilt, Mei Zhannan thought for a while, and replied thoughtfully: "Although the Zongzhenghou's Mansion is not like our family's founding meritorious service, it was once very prosperous, and now their daughter is a queen. It can be regarded as a comeback. As for familiarity... How should I put it, I am an official in the same dynasty as his father, and the grace of saving lives is indeed true, but it happened many years ago. I didn't think of her I still remember. It’s not easy for orphans and widows, and now we are neighbors. Neighbors should come and go frequently. Don’t do it too much. Keep things on the front line so that we can meet in the future, especially in the officialdom. You can't do anything wrong. Look at your previous appearance, is there any misunderstanding with others?"

Knowing Zongzheng Mingzhen, he also knew that he was a celebrity in the imperial court, he was good looking, and his conduct seemed to be good, but I heard that he was very capable, and he was a man of great power.

Guessing that she was treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the most important thing was not to worry about her father, Mei Xin smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe I'm thinking too much. Dad, it's getting late and you are now I'm weak again, let's eat first, I still have something to tell you after eating."

After crying a lot, she was hungry, and she didn't have dinner, so her hungry stomach was rumbling.

Having no appetite during the illness, Mei Zhannan said a little tiredly: "Go and eat, I'll just have some millet porridge. Yunluo, bring me the bowl."

Struggling to get up, Mei Xin hurriedly stopped her, motioned him to lie down, she said: "Let me feed you."

When she was a child, she was fed by him when she was sick and injured. Now that she has grown up, it is time for her to be filial to him.

Hearing her stomach growling, Mei Zhannan refused without even thinking about it. Just as he was about to say that he could, Yunluo took the bowl and said, "The major general is going to eat, leave it to me, and I will feed the general."

Although the four of them are servant girls, maidservants, and guards, they all grew up by Mei Zhannan's side.Received no less favor and care from him, and his daily food and clothing expenses are almost the same as Mei Xin's.Therefore, in the hearts of the four of them, he is not only a general but also their own father.

Yun Luo was careful in doing things, Mei Xin felt relieved, seeing that Mei Zhannan didn't refuse her, she stood up.

Cardamom brought some small wontons just now, and they were already warmed up. Mei Xin put some vinegar and chili peppers and ate them like a storm.

One bowl wasn't enough and he ate the second bowl. Seeing that she was not satisfied, as if she was not full, she opened her mouth and asked, "Sister-in-law Li made too much and left it outside to freeze, do you want to cook another bowl?"

The weather is cold, and it is not easy to spoil if it is frozen outside.Therefore, Mrs. Li packed a lot.

Mei Xin wanted to say yes, but then she thought that she still couldn't eat too much at night, and besides, there was a bowl of bird's nest made by Grandma Sun before going to bed, so she might not be able to eat another bowl.He rubbed his stomach, shook his head lightly, and said, "If you eat too much at night, it's easy to accumulate food. You can eat it tomorrow. Your injury hasn't healed yet. You ran with me for another day today. Go down and rest first. Yunluo will meet you in the evening." Night watch, go to bed early."

Since they were pregnant, they haven't had a good day's rest, and they are all tense. They are all afraid that something will happen to her, and they are extremely nervous.

She had agreed with Yunluo before that she would sleep in the middle of the night, and after Dougao saluted, she left.Instead of going back to sleep in her own room, she lay down outside Mei Xin's bedroom.

After a while, Yun Luo finished feeding and left. Knowing that the father and daughter had something to say, she asked Luo Qiu to watch outside the door.

Mei Xin originally thought to talk about the old lady being sent to the family temple first, then talk about Shangguan Xinrou, and then explain about going to Huangzhuang tomorrow and the emperor giving them a marriage.But when she saw that he was not in good spirits and a little drowsy, she said in a nutshell: "Father, I will go to Huangzhuang early in the morning to fight with the Pope's sons, and I may not be able to come back until years ago. Family matters I will leave it to Yunluo and Yunying, and Zhongkai. If you have something to do, tell them to do it. Oh, no, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, I will hold a feast of hunting for plums at the Princess’s mansion. I will be back for two days. The emperor has already approved it. I don't know what the second uncle and the third aunt told you about the family affairs, but please believe me. I have no malice towards my grandmother. Only then did the old man let her go to the family temple to stay for a while."

Feeling uncertain and worried about her father's filial piety, Mei Xin glanced at him after she finished speaking, and seeing that he was not as angry as before, she went on to say: "A granddaughter shouldn't say these things, but grandma It is really not an option for the family to go on like this. The ancestors of the Mei family know that if the second uncle wants it, what will the second brother and the second aunt do? The second sister was almost killed by people in the Yuhou Mansion. I am determined. It is impossible to send her back, and it is even more impossible to ignore her. Therefore, no one can say anything about it. I heard that the emperor also knew about it. If the emperor asks about his father, how should he answer? Could it be possible? Satisfied Second Uncle's selfish desires, and you broke the rules set by your ancestors?"

This is impossible, otherwise the Mei family and him will become nothing.

Since Mei Jingxuan didn't mention anything about taking a concubine, Mei Zhannan was taken aback. Thinking about what he said earlier, he snorted coldly and said, "No wonder I got punished, so I wanted to take a concubine, damn it!"

The rules of the ancestors are higher than the sky, and no one can break the rules with him.Therefore, Mei Xin immediately said: "Not only did she want to take a concubine, but the woman ran to our door to make trouble, and said that she was pregnant with my second uncle's child and clamored to come in. Fortunately, I met her and sent her to Beijing. Zhao Yamen, otherwise this matter might be a mess. Dad, all the brothers are starting to practice martial arts and make progress. I don’t want my family to be as messy as it used to be. If the second uncle doesn’t know how to repent, If you come to make trouble with you again, you can divide the family. You can save the trouble while grandma is away, and the third uncle is coming back soon. Everyone is here, so you can divide it as you want. If you want to continue to live at home, you can live in it. At home, those who don't want to live in the house will divide the house and move out. There is only one rule, after the family is divided, the second uncle must never live in the mansion."

She wanted to give up on Mei Jingxuan who never changed her mind, she lost all patience, and she didn't want to let a white-eyed wolf at home.So, give him one last chance, if daddy can't persuade him, then let him go.

It's not that Mei Zhannan doesn't know the family situation, it's just that he has always attached great importance to love and has always thought of brotherhood, so he doesn't want to separate.In addition, the old mother is still alive, wouldn't the separation of the family hit her in the face of the old man?With a long sigh, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and his head hurt. He thought for a while and said: "I know, I will talk to him about this matter, and if it doesn't make sense, let it be. The tree has big branches, children have big branches, and every family is full of blood. So, it's fine if we break up. Xin'er, you did the right thing about Wanzhi. You are the eldest sister in the family and you should stand up for her. If you don't even support her, she and the child will only have a dead end .”
