concubine leisurely

Chapter 130

"You'er must not let You'er know about these nasty things." Meng Lai repeatedly confessed three times.Zhang Bing solemnly agreed every time, without feeling bored at all.

This son-in-law is much more patient than his daughter, Meng Lai is a little satisfied, but worried that Zhang Bing and Youran have always talked about everything, what if Zhang accidentally slipped his mouth?Young man, with no hair on his mouth, can't do things well!Fearing that Zhang didn't know the severity, Meng Lai confessed twice more.Zhang Bing smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, she's pregnant with a child, and she can't let her know about these messy things."

It is rumored that Concubine Ning gave birth to a dead baby a few days ago, and some people said that Concubine Ning gave birth to a freak. The latter statement is generally reasonable, because on the day Concubine Ning gave birth, the emperor happily entered Tongyu Palace , with a look of anger, and ordered: Concubine Ning will move to Hanyu Palace, and she will not come back for life.

If it was just a dead baby, it would not be so heartless, so the world privately speculates that the baby should be a freak.Everyone in the palace is in danger at this moment: the emperor is furious and loses his temper at every turn.Several unsightly concubines and servants have been implicated, demoted, or punished.

Youran is pregnant with a child, how could she know such news.Pregnant women can only listen to good and beautiful things, and ugly things cannot be told to her.Meng Lai confessed to Zhang Bing, and then to Huang Xin. Huang Xin'e frowned slightly, and said angrily, "It sounds really scary, so the master shouldn't tell me." Of course, he couldn't tell his daughter.

She is as beautiful as jade, she is happy and angry, her frown and smile are all touching, she is about to become a grandmother, and she is still so graceful, Meng Lai was fascinated by it for a while.

Huang Xin's cheeks were burning hot, and she pushed him, "Master, hurry up, Xiaoyu is about to take the imperial examination." The February examination has ended, and Meng Zhengyu was selected as the last one, which made the whole Meng family very anxious.According to Meng Zhengyu's posture, he must be a fellow Jinshi!It is most embarrassing to be a Jinshi of Zhongtong, so it is better to take the exam again in a few years.

A total of 17 scholars were admitted for this examination, and Meng Zhengyu just happened to be the 80th.Conventionally, after passing the general examination, one becomes a Jinshi, and the palace examination is just a rearrangement of rankings.But there are only three first-class "Jinshi Jiji", only [-] second-class "Jinshi background", and [-] third-class "same Jinshi background".Those who were born with the same background as Jinshi, but with a lower background, will be restricted in their future official careers.

Meng Lai was the third person in the first class, Meng Zhengxuan was the second person in the first class, and Meng Zhengyu was the same Jinshi?Meng Lai had no choice but to watch his youngest son do his homework every day, hoping that he would do well in the palace examination and be ranked second at least.

"Okay, I'm going back." Meng Lai's hoarse voice sounded, "In a few days, you go back too." When Meng Zhengyu finished his exams and Meng Youran gave birth to a child, Huang Xin should go back to Meng's house.

"I'm not going back. I want to see my daughter and my grandson every day." Huang Xin muttered in her heart, but she couldn't bear to say it, she just nodded with a blushing face, and got Meng Lai away.

Leisurely, on the other hand, was looking at the new "Mao Brocade" with great interest.Ordinary damasks are only embroidered with silk, and the brocade is mostly made of gold thread, whichever is its brilliance.This "Mao brocade" is made of peacock feathers woven into the satin, and the designs and colors are more gorgeous and beautiful.Is it really made of peacock feathers?Leisurely opened his eyes.

Ladies in the capital love beauty, and this "Mao brocade" was very popular in the capital when it came out. Nowadays, no lady or lady wears one or two wool brocade shirts.The textile industry has great potential. If you open a weaving workshop, your profits will be guaranteed!Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are all profitable industries, and clothing still ranks first!

However, these Leisurely can only think about it.Zhang Bing is very kind to her, and he can accommodate her in almost everything, but he resolutely forbids such things as opening a shop and doing business, and believes that "making money to support a family is a man's job" and "you just have to enjoy yourself at home."

You Ran became ill-intentioned, and at night when the child was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace again, she had to sing and sing a lullaby, telling lies against her conscience "he likes to listen to music" and "he doesn't like to listen to and read books".Zhang Bing had nothing to do with his wife. After struggling for a long time, he finally uttered two lines, "Good boy, go to bed" in a half-singing way. This was wild and ugly, and he hurriedly stopped him. , Don't bring the wolf in.

Zhang Bing let out a long sigh of relief, "Baby, Daddy will continue to read to you." Lying on his wife's belly, he carefully recited the book of war, which he knew well. After he finished memorizing his grandson's art of war, he began to recite the 36 tricks of Tan Gong.Leisurely smiled and listened, if prenatal education is really useful, what kind of child should he teach like this?
After a few days, Huang Rui came to be a guest, and leisurely took out two bolts of brocade to give her, "Auntie has such a color, you need to dress up well."

"Sister, you girl doesn't look like you at all." Huang Rui said with a smile when only the two sisters sat chatting with each other.

"Yes, he's much smarter than me." Huang Xin mentioned Youran, and she rolled her eyes with a smile, "My master said that if I added up to a hundred of them, I wouldn't be as smart as Ayou. He said, I'm just a Stupid." Speaking of this, Huang Xin blushed, because Meng Lai's next sentence was full of affection, "However, I like you no matter how stupid you are."

Sister, she has been weak-tempered since she was a child, and she was submissive, but now she is enjoying the blessings. Not only is the girl promising, but the man also treats her sincerely.Huang Rui smiled and thought, like myself, I was strong when I was young, but now I have to worry about everything by myself, and I have to plan for Zhong Ling.Of the two sisters in my family, I don't know who is luckier.

"Speaking of which, Ling'er is not like me." Huang Rui felt a little melancholy, "I was capable since I was a child, but Ling'er has no scheming at all. How old is she, she still looks like a little girl."

Huang Xin laughed out loud, "It's just right that Ling'er is scheming, Xiaoyu likes scheming!"

Mentioning Meng Zhengyu, Huang Rui also laughed, "I have passed the examination, I am a fellow Jinshi no matter what, I am content! My sister will tell you the truth, if the concubine's daughter of the Hou's mansion is favored, it's fine, if she is not favored, marry There are people who have no food and clothing. The daughter of a concubine has no status, and I am relieved that Linger can marry Xiaoyu."

The two sisters chatted casually for a while, Huang Rui wanted to say something a few times, but swallowed it back.Forget it, my sister is so soft-hearted, so don't tell her.

It wasn't until Youran gave birth to her child that she finished her confinement period that she found out what Huang Rui had done during this time: Que'er was punished by Qi's family to kneel, and after only kneeling for an hour, she saw Hong, and when Zhang Lingjia hurried home, Que'er was gone. It was a miscarriage.

"What did you do?" Youran felt a chill run down his back.Huang Rui smiled, "You don't need to understand these insidious methods." Seeing Youran's unbearable face, Huang Rui said softly, "You have never experienced that kind of humiliation, and you don't know what kind of hatred it is. Her surname is Huang, and she is The granddaughter of that couple, she deserves to die."

Que'er died of depression after giving birth. "Isn't that good?" Huang Rui's expression was calm, without any anxiety, "The enemy I've been thinking of is dead, and I will return it to the Wu family who has been making things difficult for you, leaving a knot."

Que'er's death created a barrier between Zhang Lingjia and the Qi family who were already indifferent, and the relationship between husband and wife was even more frozen.The youngest son's house was restless, and Wu's hair became more gray.Zhang Zhao used to advance and retreat with her, but now if Zhang Zhao doesn't go back to the mansion, it's up to him. If he goes back to the mansion, he will rest at the place of the two beauties. The beauties bestowed by the emperor, the Wu family dare not do anything, they can only watch.

Zhang Zhao watched with cold eyes, Wu was so focused on worrying about his youngest son and falling out of favor, that he was not in the mood to go out and cause trouble, and he felt that he had done the right thing: he should keep her cold, otherwise life will go smoothly, and I don't know what she will do.

These are things for later.At this time, You Ran didn't know anything, and under the protection of her parents and husband, she was happily pregnant with a big belly, "Why are two people happy when they are happy, but I suffer alone when I give birth to a child? No, I have to drag him !" Adhering to this kind of thinking, besides eating and drinking, Youran is thinking about how to tease her husband. He can't sing lullabies. It's too ugly. What new things can I do for him?
It is very hard for Meng Lai to take care of his youngest son's homework these days.However, Mrs. Zhong urged him to "go to see Xiner and Sister Yue together", Meng Lai wanted to postpone the palace examination before going, but Mrs. Zhong refused, "Let's go, I miss my child. Don't you think so?" Firstly, Meng Lai was harassed by Mrs. Zhong, and secondly, he also wanted to see Xinran and Sister Yue, so he went to the Princess Funing's Mansion together today.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xinran took Meng Lai aside and said in detail, "...I discovered it by accident, and I don't know what to do. Daddy can give you some advice."

Ren Ying is just a 14-year-old willful little girl. How could she really fall in love with any man? It's a joke. "Is that the man she fell in love with, or the man in her fantasy?" Just like Zhi Shui, it's better to be indifferent, Ren Ying wants to see her fifth cousin, and let her go. Meet the real fifth cousin.

Ever since Ren Ying was secretly taken out of the Princess Mansion by her personal maids and guards, met the fifth prince who was flirting with the maid, met the fifth prince who was gentle and courteous to the emperor, and spoke harshly to the servants, she gradually learned about her fifth prince. The cousin didn't just play the flute to her alone, and she didn't just show affection to one person. Gradually, she realized that her fifth cousin had more than one face. The more she knew, the little girl Ren Ying thought Get more.She is naive, not stupid.

Moreover, Ren Ying accidentally discovered a secret.

"I dreamed that the red sun was in my arms, and the strange fragrance of the day of childbirth filled the room for a long time?" Meng Lai frowned.This is an old trick. How could the seemingly wise emperor really believe this?
After Concubine Ning moved to Hanyu Palace, the fifth prince and Princess Yingmin remained in favor. Could it be because of this?Meng Lai pondered for a while, then said gently, "My son Bendang has never heard of this matter. Whether it is you or the Princess's Mansion, I just pretend that I have never heard of it."

He readily replied, "Yes." Then he wondered, "Your son-in-law, he always wants to tell the truth to the emperor's uncle." Not only Ren Lei, but also Ren Ying.

Meng Lai said solemnly, "Your family, it's better not to be involved in politics at all." No matter how close you are, power and politics are involved, which is another story.It would be great to be a detached and honorable eldest princess, why bother to produce unnecessary side details.

He readily understood, "What Daddy said is true." Then he said, "He often said that without father's teaching, he doesn't understand many things."

Young boy, what do you know.Not to mention him, Zhang Bing, who has experienced many battles, isn't the same.Meng Lai smiled, "After Xiaoyu's palace exam is over, let him often come and drink with dad and play chess."
