Chapter 34

The "bad news" is: Youran may be living with someone.Youran opened her eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief, living with others, how could she be reduced to this point?Living with other people is one of the things Youran is most afraid of. She has a slight obsession with cleanliness. In her previous life, Youran was not treated well at the beginning of her job. She is willing to spend 3000 yuan to rent a studio. Although the bedroom is not big, the kitchen, bathroom, The balcony is smaller, but independence is very important. "Man-made houses, houses make people". Only economically independent people can own independent houses. Independent houses make spiritually independent people. The high housing prices in China are obvious to all. Apart from various political factors and economic factors One of the reasons is that Chinese people do have a rigid demand for real estate.

Meng Yun will arrive tomorrow with his wife and children. The old lady's nephew Hu Qing's family of four is also on the way. They will arrive in the capital in a few days, and the two sons and daughter-in-law of the third uncle will also come to drink wedding wine. Meng Yun's family of four , Hu Qing's family of four, and third uncle's family of four, adding twelve people at once, plus the accompanying maids and servants, how to arrange these people is really a headache.Meng's house is not too big, it is very likely that Meng Weiran and Hu Xiaoli will live with Youran and Anran. "Stay in a hotel, I want the most luxurious one!" leisurely blurted out, can I pay for it, let your relatives live in a five-star hotel or a presidential suite!Just don't squeeze me in, will you?Meng Lai glared at her, and scolded, "Nonsense! How can there be relatives here who don't stay at home and stay at the inn!"

She stuck out her tongue leisurely, "Father, you are very angry today. Could it be that the office was not going well just now? Isn't Guanglu Temple in charge of cooking? Could it be..." It's just cooking, and the work is not easy to carry out?Before he finished speaking, Meng Lai, who was almost angry, stretched out his hand and carried it over, "Guanglu Temple is the yamen in charge of court meetings, banquets, sacrifices and praise etiquette. How come it becomes a place in charge of cooking when you come to your place?" Completely outraged, he grabbed Youran and spanked her butt a few times.

You Ran protected her buttocks in dissatisfaction, and protested, "She's a girl, okay? She's so delicate, how can she be spanked? Daddy, don't treat me like a son." Sons can be spanked, honestly. , the girl is so delicate, whose parents are willing to fight?
Meng Lai looked at leisurely with an innocent expression on his face, hating iron and iron, "If dad really treats you like a son, that's not the way you play just now. If you want to discipline your son, you have to beat firmly. How can you be like dad?" , The strength I used was just enough to knock the ashes off." Leisurely leaned forward, with a flattering smile, "I know, Dad just took the ashes for me. I know that Dad loves me the most." Meng Lai became vigilant, Xiao As soon as Lei Ran said, "I know that Dad loves me the most", there will be an extraordinary request in the next step.

Daddy Meng was indeed wise and correct, and leisurely then said with longing, "Daddy, there are so many people in my family, how about I go to another courtyard to live in for a while?" The courtyard we bought is in the next street, not far away. Go and hide away?Meng Lai looked at Youran, and said slowly, "Not good."

You Ran hesitated for a moment, "Father, why don't we hand over the other courtyard to the public, and don't hide it from the family." After she returned from Guangzhou, she handed over all her property to Meng Lai and the Zhong family, and Meng Lai only stayed in Jingzhong. A five-entry courtyard was not handed over to the Zhong family, and two confidant family members stayed in the courtyard to guard it, and put some valuables such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, "Silly boy, that is the property you persuaded Dad to buy in Beijing. Only Both father and son know that father only has this private house, how can it be exposed at this time, it is useful for father to keep it." Meng Lai flatly refused, "What's more, you want to hide at this time, the timing is not right at all, at most father agrees You, you are allowed to go out to escape the heat in midsummer."

There seemed to be a crowd of women crowded in her small courtyard before Youran's eyes. It was too scary, with no cleanliness and no personal space. She nestled in Meng Lai's arms and felt bored for a while, then suddenly she had an idea and thought of a good way. Mimi looked up and smiled and said to Meng Lai, "Father, I want to live with her. Let my cousins ​​live in my yard. Give it all to them, and I will live with her."

Meng Lai pondered for a moment, "It's not that you can't do it, just follow her, you must be used to it." Meng Lai didn't know that his youngest daughter was obsessed with cleanliness, and Meng Lai also knew that she was asked to live with her cousin. It was too embarrassing for Youran, and he was reluctant to let his daughter suffer.Just living with Huang Xin, Youran will definitely get used to it. Huang Xin has no resistance to Youran, she can do whatever she wants, and she can mess around as much as she wants. Huang Xin will move the ladder soon, and living with Huang Xin, wouldn't Youran be even more lawless?The child is growing up day by day, but it is not easy to spoil it all the time, so it is time to take care of it.

Seeing Meng Lai's attitude, Youran knew there was something going on, hugging his neck and acting like a spoiled child, Meng Lai, like Huang Xin, couldn't resist Youran's acting like a spoiled child, and said lovingly, "Okay, okay, daddy, it's just You'er, you're growing up gradually Now, there are some things you have to learn to deal with by yourself, even dad can't protect you for the rest of your life."

I didn't want you to protect me for the rest of my life. You can protect me for as many years as you can. It won't be too late for me to grow up in a few years. Youran called out in her heart, you can protect me for a few more years, let me do it for a few more years. Young children, I really don't want to grow up.

It's good to be a child, just go to school, don't worry about other things, eat, drink, sleep, and have someone to worry about.

Meng Lai is a very considerate father. He just said bad news, and then immediately said good news, "You'er, you will soon have two girls with strong martial arts skills."

You Ran is overjoyed, girls are not rare, she has never seen a girl with strong martial arts! "Really? Dad is getting better and better, and he can even find girls with strong martial arts."

Meng Lai smiled very happily, "Father happened to meet an old classmate the day before yesterday. He is knowledgeable and has extraordinary vision, but he is a bit introverted. His official career is not going well, and the imperial examination is not going well. Now he wants to find a school. Dad I just thought of General Zhenwei Zhang Bing, he asked me to help find his master when he met last time, and my father recommended it to him, and the two got along very well when they met and talked, General Zhang sent a big gift to thank him, and also gave him a gift. Come here with two girls with high martial arts skills, and these two girls will give you a good deal." The Meng family has always been peaceful, and the only one who has ever been in danger is Youran. All to leisurely.

Leisurely eyebrows danced, "Dad, do you think these two girls are people like Yinniang's red line?" Meng Lai glared at her, "What kind of mess are you thinking in your little head? In a peaceful and prosperous age, where is there any red line?" Yinniang? It’s just a girl with kung fu, and those generals often have it.”

There is a thoughtful and considerate Mo Lian, a big sister, Mo Tao, a playmate who is naughty and mischievous, a Metasequoia who can cook food, a clever and winking Ginkgo, and two girls with strong martial arts. Well, the team has grown !

"By the way, Dad, isn't uncle an official? How can he come here?" Meng Yun is the county magistrate of Shan County, also known as Xing County. According to the system, it is a lower county, and the county magistrate is Cong Qipin. The county magistrates of such small counties are usually not from a professional background, or they just have the status of a scholar. Lack, such a county magistrate is actually very difficult to do, the tax is not easy to collect, the people are poor and aggressive, the affairs are complicated, and it is very easy to have civil uprisings, parents and officials are also very difficult to do, such as the county magistrate of Shan County.

"Your uncle's three-year term has expired, and he will also go to Beijing to report on his work." Meng Lai said flatly.Speaking of Meng Yun, the younger brother Meng Lai was very worried.Meng Yun is honest and honest. He is a good person, but he lacks talent. Under his rule, the mountain county is becoming more and more chaotic and poorer. The evaluation of the superiors this time is not good. It may be difficult for the next one to be promoted.

There are very few people who are born in Juren who can make a big difference. Like Hai Rui, he is also born in Juren. He was an instructor first, and then a county magistrate. The old servant grows vegetables for himself.On the day of Hai Rui's mother's birthday, Hai Rui went to the street to buy two catties of meat, and the butcher said with emotion, "I never thought I could still do business with Shanghai adults in my life."Such a county magistrate is not easy to be, how many Hai Ruis are there in the world?It's no wonder that Mr. Sun can't be an official if he can. What's so good about such an official.If you want to be an official, you still have to be a Jinshi to have a future. If you are a Shujishi, that's even better. In the future, it is possible to enter the cabinet and pay homage.

"Your uncle is a loyal man, brother Kuan is the same, and sister Wei must be a good person. Although you don't need to live together in the future, you should get along well with each other." Meng Lai instructed.She agreed leisurely and readily, and she didn't need to grind her ears every day, she could be polite and there would be no problem at all.

"You'er, what will happen if you look like this in the long run." Although Meng Lai is willing to spoil his daughter, she is still worried. It's okay now, with her parents protecting her, it doesn't matter if she is a bit delicate, what will she do in the future?
"Father, there's nothing wrong with me like this, and there's nothing wrong with it, the saints have said it before." Youran said plausibly.

Meng Lai was speechless, this little daughter was always acting out of reason, no, here she is again.

"Daddy, didn't Confucius say, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and if they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will complain'? The missionaries of the Guangzhou Catholic Church also said similar things. Westerners use the analogy between people A group of porcupines huddled together to keep warm in the cold winter. If they are too close, the thorns on their bodies will pierce each other. If they are too far away, they will freeze again. They all say that people should not be too far away from each other, and don't get too close to each other. I don't want to get too close to people now, which is what the saints say is right." Said leisurely and triumphantly From my point of view, a reasonable distance should be maintained between people. No one can be intimate with anyone else. Intimacy will cause problems sooner or later.Beauty comes from distance.

Meng Lai was amused, "Did you use what Confucius said?" This little girl really dared to think and speak.Leisurely said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just us father and son? What can I tell you? If there are outsiders around, I'm sure I'll behave myself and do nothing wrong."

Meng Lai said with a serious face, "All relatives will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so you have to behave yourself and make no mistakes." He replied leisurely and loudly, "Yes! Don't worry, Dad." I promise to complete the task, no Disgrace the mission, should eat and drink, don't say a word, don't take a step, more things are worse than less things.

Meng Lai personally sent Youran back home, watched her fall asleep before walking out of the yard, stood outside Haoyuan for a long time, raised her feet to go to Hanfangxuan where Huang Xin lived, but after much deliberation, she still took her steps back and went back to the main room.
