Chapter 37

Old lady Meng was dumbfounded.

Ever since Meng Lai was released back to Beijing, old lady Meng's life has been getting worse day by day, because the second son is getting disobedient day by day. Looking around, only this one son is promising, but this son is not obedient to her. The anger of old lady Meng has been burning in her heart for a long time, and it finally broke out tonight. She decided to use the mother's money to show off her elders , this dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, but if there is any reputation for unfilial piety, Meng Lai will not have to be an official!The old lady is angry, is she still afraid that her son will not give in?
When I saw Menglai for the first time, I was speechless, the old lady was extremely proud, she crawled out of the old lady's intestines, and when she grew up, she dared not listen to the old lady's words, it turned against you! "Otherwise, you will be disobedient!" As soon as the words came out, the old lady felt hearty and happy!Do you dare not listen to my mother?My old lady sues you for the crime of "disobedience and unfilial piety", and your official career will be over!Let's see if you dare to be arrogant!

It's just that the old lady's luck was not good, and it didn't take long for her to be happy when she saw Meng Lai fainted on the ground.

The old lady panicked suddenly, after all, she was her own son and the pillar of the family, the old lady cried out and roused everyone, and was so shocked that Nanny Lu came in hurriedly with the maids, and saw that the master had passed out Nanny Lu, an honest person, was frightened and foolish. The maids were clever enough to go everywhere to report and invite the doctor. Before the doctor came, everyone in the mansion arrived, even relatives were alarmed. Hurriedly rushing over, surrounding Meng Lai anxiously, crying tears.

The Meng Yun brothers were deeply affectionate, and stamped their feet in a hurry, "What's wrong with the second child? How could he pass out? The doctor hasn't come yet? Please go!" The seventh brother and the eighth brother also rushed over after hearing the news, together with Meng Yun Stamping his feet, Meng Zhengkuan was sent by Meng Yun to pick up the doctor.

Mrs. Gu gently persuaded her husband from the side, "Don't worry, the uncle, the second master is auspicious, and he will be fine."

The Zhong family was already in tears, and just called out, "Please go, doctor! Order someone to call the eldest and second young masters back!" Meng Zhengxuan was studying in the Imperial Prison and did not return home. Meng Zhengxian was in the Marquis of Ji'an. Not at home, Zhong lost his backbone and fell into Yue Ran and Xin Ran's arms, crying non-stop.

When you leisurely entered the main room, you could only hear the sound of crying in the room. The old lady was sitting on the top crying loudly, while Yiran, Yanran, Weiran, Hu Xiaoli, Lingran, etc. beside her were crying and persuading; Meng Lai had already been carried to the Luohan bed, Mrs. Zhong sat beside Menglai and cried, and Yueran, Anran, and Xinran also cried; Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Ding were weeping beside her, while the seventh and eighth sisters-in-law persuaded them; Still not coming?" Seventh Brother and Mynah were also anxious, and Hu Qing turned around anxiously, "Cousin is always in good health, what's wrong today? I'm so anxious." Hu Fei comforted him, "Cousin will be fine."

Youran was very speechless, isn't it common sense to pinch someone when fainted?It would be understandable if they were chaotically pinching people around Menglai at this moment, one, two or three are anxious here, crying here, why cry here, don’t just make noise if they can’t help, it’s still decibels Up to 74 noise.

"Daddy passed out once when he was in Guangzhou." Leisurely walked to Luo Han's bed, and said softly to Zhong Shi, Yue Ran and others, "The doctor told me what to do, I still remember."

Before Zhong could react, she continued to cry habitually, but Yue Ran heard clearly and was overjoyed, "Fifth Sister, what should I do? You should teach my sister quickly."

"Let Dad lie down first, preferably head down and feet up, untie the collar and belt, pinch the middle and inner gates, feed hot tea or sugar water, don't freeze, the most important thing is, be quiet." Leisurely was annoyed to death by these women crying.

Yue Ran nodded again and again, removed Meng Lai's pillow, raised her feet, untied her collar and belt, ordered someone to bring hot tea, and slowly fed it to Meng Lai with a small copper-bodied cloisonné enamel pot with a thin mouth. .

Mrs. Zhong has slowly stopped crying, and stared blankly at Yue Ran doing things. The old lady was still crying loudly, and Xin Ran frowned dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you tell me to be quiet? Why are you still crying?" An Ran went to The old lady persuaded, "The doctor said to be quiet, dad will be fine, old lady don't worry."

It happened that the old lady was tired from crying, so she stopped crying, stopped her tears, and after a short rest, she began to complain about her own life. She sat leisurely on the Arhat's bed, pinched Menglai, and Menglai cried out "Ouch". After coming out, everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, "Wake up, wake up!"

Lei Ran raised her hand to signal Yue Ran not to approach, Yue Ran understood, and sat on the side with Zhong's support, Xin Ran and An Ran also stopped the others intentionally or unintentionally, leisurely approached Meng Lai, and asked attentively, "How are you, Daddy?" Meng Lai Opening his eyes, seeing Youran's persuasive eyes, he scolded a dead girl in his heart, struggled to get up, and hurriedly supported him, everyone in the room looked at the father and daughter, Meng Lai said to the old lady in a miserable voice "Mother, my son is not filial, what mother wants her son to do, son really, really, can't do it, mother..." With a scream, Meng Lai fainted again.

"Daddy, what's the matter, don't scare your daughter." Youran yelled, while winking at Yueran, Yueran was ignorant, but Anran reacted quickly, pulling Xinran to yell "Daddy", creating confusion However, he surrounded Menglai so that no one would approach him.

Meng Yun's face darkened. I don't know what the old lady said to the second child to force the second child like this?Seventh brother also heard that something was wrong, but he just bowed his head and said nothing. Mynah is a real person, and he cupped his hands at the old lady and asked, "Dare to ask Auntie, what did you tell Ah Lai? So that Ah Lai actually..."

The eighth sister-in-law pulled the skirt of the eighth brother's clothes, and the eighth brother turned to stare at her, "What's wrong? Ah Lai has become like this, as a brother, I shouldn't ask?"

The old lady was speechless after being questioned by the mynah. She couldn't tell the truth, it would be embarrassing to say it, and she was not good at telling lies, so she had to cry again. This time, she cried so sincerely that she almost died. .

"Father, you're pretending to be a bit." Leisurely lying in Menglai's ear whispered a warning, you've already fainted, don't worry about how noisy or anxious the people around you are, just stay in a coma and don't secretly think about it. Open your eyes, the old lady is in a hurry, tell her to hurry, it's not all caused by her.

Meng Lai heard the old lady crying and was about to recite it. He couldn't bear it. As soon as his eyes moved, he heard Youran's warning. He cursed a dead girl again in his heart, closed his eyes and continued to pretend die.

"Grandmother, father, mother, the doctor is here." Meng Zhengkuan brought a doctor in with sweat all over his body, and everyone cheered up, and hurriedly let the doctor come to Meng Lai.

The doctor's surname is Tang, over 50 years old, dressed in a Ge gown, thin and capable, he is a doctor often invited by the Meng family. Doctor Tang is quite famous in the capital and has excellent medical skills, but he has a weird temper. He frowned and said, "There are many people around here. do what?"

Meng Yun cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave after I'm here, doctor, don't worry about it." Everyone retreated to the east room one by one, only the old lady and Mrs. Zhong were left in the room. left behind.

Doctor Tang closed his eyes and checked his pulse carefully for a long time. Everyone in the room watched intently. When Doctor Tang opened his eyes, Mrs. Zhong quickly asked, "Doctor Tang, how is my master?"

Doctor Tang said coldly, "What can I do? I told you when I came to see Ping An's pulse last month. Mr. Meng's liver qi is stagnant and his liver is damaged. This disease can only be calm, and you can't be angry. His life is in danger, but he still wants to get angry. He is in his 40s, and he doesn't know how to take care of it. What can a doctor do?"

Doctor Tang is a doctor often invited by the Meng family. The old lady Meng has great confidence in his medical skills. Hearing that he said that his life would be in danger, she felt very anxious, "Doctor Tang, is my son's life really in danger?"

Doctor Tang sighed, "I'm going to prescribe a prescription, whether it will be cured or not depends on his luck. Even if it is cured this time, he will not be able to get angry in the future. If he gets angry again, I'm afraid Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him." .”

Zhong said with tears, "My master is usually the most tempered, who knows that today..., alas, I just hope he is fine, otherwise, who should this big family rely on."

Leisurely was delighted at the side, Mrs. Zhong was so upbeat today, the old lady Meng's face turned red and pale at times when she said this, she must have been frightened, she thought she could calm down for a while, at least let Yueran get married smoothly first.

Leisurely laughed and said, "Doctor Tang has no medical skills. Since Doctor Tang is willing to prescribe the prescription, there is hope. Thank you, Doctor Tang! The pen and ink are ready in the outer compartment, please ask Doctor Tang to go out and prescribe the prescription."

Doctor Tang cast a leisurely glance, resigned from the old lady and Mrs. Zhong, and went out to the outer room to prescribe medicine.

Fortunately, all the medicines on the prescription were prepared at home, and the medicine was cooked and fed to Menglai to drink. When Menglai woke up slowly, everyone was relieved, seeing Menglai just staring at the old lady in a daze, and then Feeling embarrassed, they all resigned, leaving only the old lady Meng and Meng Lai's mother and son.

Zhong Shi was really reluctant to leave, and being dragged by Yue Ran, Fang went out step by step.

The old lady Meng wept at Menglai, "My son, you are scared to death." Menglai hissed, "My son is unfilial, I really want to die to redeem my sin..." The old lady quickly reached out and pressed Menglai's mouth Not letting him continue, he said softly, "My son, as long as you are well, mother will not ask for anything." Meng Lai was so moved that she was about to cry, and said with a sob, "I know mother loves me." Meng Lai held her in her arms and patted gently, and the mother and son reconciled.

When Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian ran over sweating profusely one after the other, Meng Lai's expression was normal, and he smiled and said, "Father is fine, but you two are so tired that you two have to run around in the middle of the night." Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian red Eye circles, "Did you pass out and still say you're fine?"

"It's all right." Meng Lai said with a smile, "Let's go back first, the old lady should have a rest earlier."

The old lady Meng hurriedly said, "What are you going to do at this time, let's rest at my mother's place?" Meng Lai shook his head, "I have to go to the Yamen before dawn, no one is arguing for the old lady to sleep well." The old lady Meng said angrily "What yamen are you still going to, let's rest for a day and talk about it later."

Meng Lai smiled wryly, "I think so, how can it be possible?" Leisurely came in with an agate tray, on which was a bowl of fragrant chicken soup, "Dad first drank the chicken soup." Meng Lai took a sip of the chicken soup and praised, "Good Xiang, I, You'er, are the most cute." You Ran smiled and watched Meng Lai drinking chicken soup, and said, "Dad didn't even have dinner, and I have to go to the Yamen early in the morning. It's really hard."

Meng Zhengxian frowned and said, "Why didn't Dad even eat dinner?" Old lady Meng blushed and turned pale, and after a while, she said, "Tomorrow, I will have a day off and won't go to the yamen."

He smiled leisurely and said, "The old lady doesn't know that Guanglu Temple has always been a fat vacancy, so many people are eyeing it. The two young ministers of Guanglu Temple, one is the son of the princess, and the other is the grandson of the eldest princess. As far as father is concerned about official and private affairs, he is afraid that people will catch him if he is wrong. Now that he has just arrived in Xinyamen, it is the time to establish trust and power, so he can't rest. Like father, there are old and young, and family matters Let him worry about it again, and the Yamen dare not relax for a moment, it is really not easy."

Old lady Meng never understood the political situation of the government, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she heard what Youran said, and she also felt that her second son had a lot of embarrassments.

Meng Lai scolded, "What nonsense! Don't you think this is for the old lady to worry about?" He said leisurely and politely, "Yes!" Meng Lai smiled at the old lady Meng, "Don't listen to her, the old lady, my son is not that difficult. "Old lady Meng nodded and said, "I know everything, you can go back and rest."

Meng Lai took his son and daughter and resigned from the old lady and came out. Youran had ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan chair and wait outside. Meng Lai frowned and said, "Why? Don't sit down." Youran refused, "Father passed out today, Don't be careless, sit on it quickly." Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian also persuaded, but Meng Lai had no choice but to sit in the soft sedan chair, and was watched by his children for dinner after returning.

After the meal, Meng Lai picked and talked about today's events, Meng Zhengxuan's face flushed with anger, Meng Zhengxian sneered again and again, leisurely, his thoughts flew far, far away.

Leisurely seems to have seen the fourth year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty. On Xiongyue Mountain in the northern suburb of Qingshen County, a man who used to grow tea and sell tea as a career changed his career to become a revolutionary. He stood on the top of the mountain and raised his arms to the nearby villagers. Shouting: "My disease is uneven, rich and poor, and now it is shared by you." This man named Wang Xiaobo, holding high the banner of "equalizing the rich and the poor", raised troops from Qingshen County and moved to Pengshan, Qiongzhou, and Shuchuan. It quickly grew from a few hundred people to tens of thousands of people, and its reputation has grown. It has to be said that the attraction of "equalizing the rich and the poor" is really great.

At least, Mrs. Meng is outspokenly interested in "equalizing the rich and the poor", and she still wants to implement it in the Meng family. Although her ideal has not been realized today, her ambition is still there, and she will make a comeback one day.

Yiran and Weiran's dowry should be exactly the same as Yueran's, which is really a sky-high asking price.

"They ask for a lot of money, let's pay back the money on the spot, who is afraid of anyone." Leisurely said with a smile, her beautiful eyes rolling.
