concubine leisurely

Chapter 132

Ever since Meng Zhengyu passed the palace examination, every time Meng Lai thought that his youngest and most awkward son was also promising and settled, he felt nothing but joy in his heart. Although he tried his best to put on a calm appearance, the smile on his mouth was I can't hide it.That night, he was sitting at home, holding his good sister in his arms, telling Ying Geer and Hua Geer who were running and playing on the ground to "slow down" and "don't fall", while Zhong Shi on the opposite side was talking endlessly. He didn't care much about what he was talking about.

"Master, do you think I'm doing the right thing?" It was rare for Meng Lai to be so leisurely, and Zhong was full of joy.After she finished talking about her great achievements, seeing that Meng Lai was silent, she poked her head over to ask questions.

Only then did Meng Lai realize that Zhong Shi was talking to him, "What's wrong?" He asked gently.Zhong said angrily, "I've been talking about it for a long time, but you didn't listen." He said it again happily.

It took Meng Lai a while to figure out what Zhong had done.After being stunned for a while, he ordered the nanny to take away his granddaughter and grandson, and asked Mr. Zhong for details.Mrs. Zhong was very proud, sitting upright, with a dignified posture, "How can the mistress of the Hou's mansion be petty and jealous? change."

You Ran has a big belly, it's the time when she's bothering her mind and mind. At this moment, she went to make troubles and troubles, and she was complacent with the look of "I'm a good aunt". Meng Lai stared at Zhong Shi, and her anger rose little by little.

Sensing her husband's unkind expression, Zhong quickly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you? Don't be angry." What did she say wrong?But it is the aunt's duty to teach concubines to be tolerant and magnanimous to abide by women's morals.

Meng Lai was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine, nothing wrong." He was originally angry, but what's the use of being angry with her for a person like Zhong?In vain, I was mad at myself, "I'm not angry. My daughter said, I'm not allowed to drink more, I'm not allowed to be tired, and I'm not allowed to be angry."

Since Youran knew that Meng Lai had the worry that "men from the Meng family would not live to be sixty", she ordered someone to copy from her hometown in Tai'an the various records of the old man Meng and his father and grandfather when they were old and seriously ill. It is abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dull pain in the upper right abdomen, fatigue, and weight loss. The doctor's diagnosis is all liver damage. Liver disease is mostly caused by drinking, fatigue, anger, and improper diet. You Ran has already told Meng Lai Eight times: Don't drink too much wine, don't get angry, and don't work too hard.There is also a recipe listed, fried, grilled, spicy, raw and cold things are not allowed.

On the surface, Meng Lai had a stern face, "Children's family, do you care about the adults? You're still so wordy." But in his heart, it was very useful: after all, it was the girl who cared for her parents.

"I said long ago that you don't need to worry about You'er's affairs." Meng Lai repeated the old saying, "I still say the same thing now. I just hope you don't have to worry about it again."

Zhong blushed, "She is the master's daughter, isn't she my daughter? Speaking of which, only I am her legitimate mother! I can't control her anymore?"

"Father gave birth to me, and mother gave birth to me. Raised me, raised me, nurtured me, cared for me, fed me." Meng Lai recited "Liao'e" in a gentle voice, "Madam, do you know what to call me? Mother? Love children, raise children, teach children, this is the mother."

When you are unhappy, you throw the concubine aside and don't ask, but when you are happy, you make people go and ask, what is it.

Zhong Shi turned his head angrily and did not speak.Meng Lai looked at her indifferently for a while, then said gently, "My wife has to remember, I, You'er, have grown up, and she handles things very well. Don't worry about her affairs."

Zhong wanted to be angry and ignore it, but she didn't dare, so she nodded indiscriminately.Meng Lai's voice was gentle and firm, "Madam, have you written it down?" Zhong said in a low voice, "I have written it down."

Seeing Meng Lai raised his foot to leave, Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to grab him, "Master, let's not go to the study, I'm afraid by myself." Sleeping alone, no matter how fragrant and warm the room is, the body will still be cold.

Meng Lai was very helpless, "There are so many official duties, there is nothing I can do." Seeing Zhong's resentful look, he smiled and said, "I want to resign from office, and then nothing will happen."

Mrs. Zhong was stunned, why not resign?How can it be possible, he is now a third-rank official, and he will be able to be a "Madam" sooner or later, if he resigns from the office, how can he go out to socialize?Who would care about a woman whose husband has no official position?
When Meng Lai left again, Mrs. Zhong didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, so Meng Lai went Shi Shiran.

Meng Lai went to the study, quietly thinking about the situation in the court recently: drought in the northwest, riots by the Miao people in the southwest; banditry in the Central Plains; It is proposed to reset the Metropolitan Government.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.As soon as this book came out, there was an uproar.This dynasty only established the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the early days of Taizu, and the Metropolitan Governor was in charge of Chinese and foreign military affairs.Later, Taizu changed the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to the Five Armies Governor's Mansion and divided the military power. Since then, few generals have been able to pose a threat to the imperial court.

This Ma Houliang is also a victorious general who has experienced many battles. He once fought the Qiang people with Ruan Dayou, the Beirong people with Yu Sheng, the Miao people with Zhong Yuan, and the Tatars with Zhang Bing.Every time he goes out to fight, he fights bravely and kills countless enemies every time.

As soon as this book came out, although the emperor remained calm, he looked more cautiously at Ruan Dayou, Yu Sheng, Zhong Yuan, Zhang Bing and others.

This dynasty has always emphasized civility over military affairs. As long as there is no war, the generals will not make any trouble in the court.What is the intention of this thick horse to take such a job?Will there be any hindrance to Zhang Bing?Meng Lai thought about it again and again, but to no avail, so he had to blow out the lights and fall asleep.

Zhang Bing and Youran husband and wife seem to be living in a paradise, ignoring world affairs and getting tired of being together at night. Zhang Bing talks to his wife and the baby in his stomach. The more he tells his story, the better.

"Baby loves to listen. Look, he was kicking around. After you told the story, he became quiet." Mimi smiled leisurely and praised Zhang Bing.Seeing that his face was full of color, he added, "I love to hear it too!"

Zhang Bing moved his face closer, and leisurely kissed him twice on the cheek.Zhang Bing generously doubled the kiss back, and kissed his belly again, "And our baby." He was very happy.

Zhang Bing began to recruit girl soldiers again, and even made a special trip to pick up several female disciples from the Huashan School to teach them Kung Fu.Leisurely laughed at him making a big fuss, "I stay at home all day, what kind of soldiers do I need?" Zhang Bin said with a serious face, "Not only you, but our girls also have soldiers when they are born."

Seeing Youran seemed to be disdainful, Zhang Bing pulled her face and reasoned with her, "Are the flowers in the garden useful? Unless they are used as medicine, they are useless? Then why do we plant them? They look good. Don't worry about them. It doesn’t matter whether it’s useful or not, at least it’s majestic and good-looking.”

This originally taciturn man has learned to argue, and he is very happy, "The flowers in the garden can't be planted for nothing, let's go to see the flowers tomorrow!"

The next day, the two really went to the garden to look at the flowers. They leisurely leaned on their husband's generous and warm arms, pointing and pointing, "The winter jasmine is so happy", "The wintersweet has a strong character", "the rose is still delicate and beautiful", no matter what she said, Zhang didn't say anything. They all agree with her, but at this moment they smiled and said, "Where is the rose beautiful? Not as beautiful as my wife."

She became more and more able to talk, and in order to express her encouragement, Youran was full of compliments, and even kissed and sweet words at night, making her flustered and flustered.

A group of maids only looked at the couple from a distance, and occasionally a word or two flew into everyone's ears, but they could only pretend that they didn't hear them.There are young people who are innocent and laugh secretly, and some people secretly hope that "no matter who they marry in the future, they will be so loving."Only Lu Yi felt pity: "Master Hou and his wife are so loving, Lu Ping, I'm afraid there is no hope."

Under the love of her parents and husband, An An lived day after day, seeing that the due date was getting closer.At this time, something happened in Tai'an's hometown.

"Old lady Meng is seriously ill? Bedridden?" The first time Youran heard the news, she had an ominous premonition that she and this old lady Meng must be at odds!Although they are called grandparents and grandchildren, they are actually very poor in love.He also often encounters setbacks with Mrs. Meng.

"She must recover from her illness." You Ran grabbed Huang Xin and confided, "She must be fine." If something happened to her, Meng Lai would want Ding You, and would leave Beijing and return to Shandong.

"She'll be fine, Ayou, don't worry." Huang Xin held Youran in her arms and said softly.Huang Xin wasn't completely comforting her daughter, she really believed that Mrs. Meng would be fine.Since she entered Meng's house, she has witnessed countless times of old lady Meng slamming the table and cursing others. Old lady Meng seems to have endless energy, so she can't die easily.

"She will live a long life." Huang Xin was sure of this.

Meng Lai was in a state of confusion when he heard the news, "Mother, she is already seventy years old! Don't be negligent!" He packed up his luggage, took a leave of absence, and wanted to return to Tai'an to take care of the sick.Although Zhong was reluctant, she had no choice but to pack up and prepare to go back together as husband and wife.

Brothers Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian are also going.Mrs. Zhong pulled them and persuaded them carefully, "My son, it is good for parents to go; grandchildren are still young, you two, you two are doing well in Beijing, your grandmother must be auspicious, maybe parents will come back in a month or two." .” After Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian heard this, they had no choice but to let it go.

Ji Yun and Zhong Wei faced each other face to face, holding their children in their arms, beating drums in their hearts, and only praying, old lady Meng must never have anything wrong.

Meng Lai and Zhong Shi hurriedly got into the carriage and wanted to rush back to Tai'an overnight.As soon as he left the door of Meng's house, he ran into old family members who came to report the funeral in hemp and mourning. Hearing "the old lady has passed away", Meng Lai yelled and vomited blood and passed out.The Meng family was in chaos.

That night, Meng's house was replaced with a piece of white ash, and the white banner of "Haotian Wangji" was hung up. Passers-by who passed by sighed: "Sigh, my parents passed away."
