concubine leisurely

Chapter 58

The brocade with cloud and geese patterns has a wide black and green neckline and long skirts. The plain color is clean and not stained with dust. Even the floral decorations are made of dark patterns carved on the fabric, and the dress is very light.

Mrs. Yan was still dissatisfied with such a light attire, she looked at You Ran critically for a moment, and said bluntly, "The fifth girl is so young, so luxurious."

The old lady Meng sighed, "This is my second son's precious girl. My son is good at everything this time, but he spoils the child too much." Mrs. Hu also joked, "Yes, the second uncle is famous for spoiling children. .”

Mrs. Yan felt relieved, thinking of her husband's early death, her only son, Brother Han, who was still young, and everyone in the family said it well, but no one extended a hand to help her. She was about to form a family to support Brother Han.Although these five girls are concubine daughters, their status is not good enough, but fortunately they look good, their manners are passable, and they are so favored by their father, if they marry her, it would be good for Brother Han to have a father-in-law to help him .

Widowed mother and only son, no one to help, marrying a concubine daughter is disgraceful, but it doesn't matter, the son's future is important.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yan tried her best to say to Youran gently, "This can't be the case in the future. The clothes should be simple, not extravagant."

Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Hu both helped out, and the three middle-aged and old women started nagging at You Ran, who was really impatient, and said with a smile, "This is difficult. The third aunt told me to dress modestly, and I will listen to my elders." , these are my least luxurious clothes. There are no more simple ones."

Mrs. Yan frowned, how dare this little concubine talk to her parents like that!He straightened his face and said, "Then make a new one!"

With a leisurely, innocent and romantic look, "I have so many clothes that I can't finish them all. How many new clothes do I lose at one time? Why do I have to make new ones?"

"Your clothes are too extravagant." Concerned about Brother Han's future, and worrying about Brother Han's support from the Yue family, Mrs. Yan patiently taught You Ran.

"Wouldn't it be more extravagant to make new clothes?" Mimi smiled leisurely and seemed puzzled.If you are capable, explain to me clearly why I have a closet full of clothes that I can't wear out, and it's plain to make new ones?

Mrs. Yan's face was reddened by the refutation, and her anger was soaring. Whose daughter-in-law would dare to talk to her mother-in-law like that?Against her!

Mrs. Yan was so angry that she pointed at Youran and was speechless.The leisurely child was ignorant, and still looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Hu hurriedly supported Mrs. Yan to comfort her, and then reprimanded Youran, "Bold! How dare you contradict your elders!"

Smiling leisurely, "Third aunt is really funny. I asked Mrs. Yan with good words, but why did I become a contradictory elder? This truth, third aunt taught me." It is also a skill to accuse people, okay? This way, it will only make noise and add chaos.

Yi Ran, who was watching the excitement behind the screen, felt that Youran was belittling and mocking Hu, so she couldn't help but ran out, reprimanding Youran angrily, "You have no right to talk back when the elders say something." She couldn't understand Meng Youran from the bottom of her heart. , the concubine's life is more carefree than the concubine's daughter.

You Ran was a person who had died once, and she pretended to be open-minded and open-minded, but at this moment, the anger in her heart rose little by little.

No matter how humble Meng Youran's background is, she is a legitimate person who can live in Meng's house. She is Meng Lai's biological daughter, a decent girl of the Meng family; He and Meng Yiran should live in Tai'an's hometown and spend the day guarding Meng Ben's spiritual seat.These three people who shouldn't live in Meng's house are living a peaceful, prosperous and honorable life in Meng's house, but they still want to take advantage of Youran, are they crazy?
Could it be that women with Hu family blood are all out of their minds?

Leisurely felt that her thoughts became vicious.These days, I accompany Meng Zhengyu to do homework during the day, and at night I have to dress up to entertain my relatives. Father Meng and Huang Xin are both in a bad mood. After coaxing this one and that one, life is very hard. But these women, one or two came to find him She is in trouble.

elder?Forget about the Hu family, no matter how bad it is for her to take the title; then Mrs. Yan, what kind of elder is she.

You Ran laughed back angrily, "How dare I? My father told me that the third aunt is young and keeps the festival, and the Meng family should treat her generously. The third aunt has lived in my house for these years, and the master and wife have treated her very politely. How dare I contradict her?"

Yiran heard her keep saying that she didn't dare to contradict her, but she clearly mentioned "keeping the chastity" and "living in sojourn", she couldn't help being angry and anxious, and she couldn't choose what to say for a while, and shouted, "Mrs. Yan is your closest relative and elder, you can only obey, why not?" Rebuttal?"

Leisurely gradually became furious. "...Let that Mrs. Yan be her elder relative." Seeing Father Meng at night, she said leisurely and viciously.

Father Meng took Youran into his arms, and said distressedly, "Look, I'm so angry with my daughter."

"That Yan Han is also fatherless, and she is also fatherless..." Youran was originally vicious, but she stopped suddenly before she finished speaking. Yiran is not very bad, but her temperament is not cheerful enough due to the loss of her father when she was young. It's not pleasing, isn't he too intolerant?

Father Meng saw that Youran had lost his temper viciously, but before he finished speaking, he had a melancholy expression on his face. He knew his daughter as his father, and Father Meng said gently, "Father knows that you are not a cruel child. Even if they annoy you, you That is to say, a few harsh words to vent your anger, if you are really asked to do something, you will not."

Tears welled up in Youran's eyes, after all he was his own father, he knew himself too well.

"Did the old lady make things difficult for you?" Meng Lai really had no confidence in his own mother.For so many years, the old lady never made trouble when encountering her children.

"Yes." Said leisurely and calmly, "The old lady saw Mrs. Yan leaving in a rage, and she was so angry that she wanted to use family law against me. I said, if you want to beat me, hit a place where people can't see, so as not to hurt my father when I see you at night. My wife thought about it for a long time, but she didn't hit me, she just scolded me."

Leisurely guessed that the old lady Meng had ulterior motives, she didn't dare to let Menglai know the whole story now, so she didn't dare to beat anyone.At this time, if you move your hands, can you still hide the matter?

Knowing that his daughter was about to be beaten, Meng Lai was afraid, that's all, this woman cannot be kept.With her instigation, the old lady would become confused at some point.

"What you said, it is really feasible for Mrs. Yan to be sister Yi's close relative and elder." Father Meng's words shocked You Ran.

Meng Lai pondered, "It's not that I don't care about Miss Yi's matter. I have mentioned it to several close colleagues and subordinates. When they heard that they were fatherless and orphaned, they first encountered difficulties; secondly, they heard that they were raised by your third aunt." Grown up, one by one can’t avoid it.”

If it is only said that Yiran is the niece of Meng Lai's direct relative, it will not be that no one cares about her.It's just that it's a bad omen to lose a father when he was young, and he is a person with poor fortune; coupled with the ignorant women in the Hu family's village, what kind of good children can he teach?So Meng Yiran's market is really not optimistic.

"If you talk about the Yan family, although the family background is a little weaker, it is still innocent. Yan Han's young man is about the same age as Yi Ran, and he is as shy as a girl, not someone who can bully his wife." Meng Lai really thinks that the Yan family is actually good.

"But, mother-in-law is amazing." Leisurely reminded.

Meng Lai laughed, "Is there any mother-in-law who is not good? Mrs. Yan was born in an old family. Although her temperament is withdrawn, she abides by the rules and will not embarrass her daughter-in-law too much." As long as you follow the rules, you will not be afraid of them no matter how big they are .

While the father and daughter were discussing, Aunt Ding and Yanran's mother and daughter were also having secret talks.

Yan Ran was not hard-hearted, she cried again after Aunt Ding staggered away that day, most of it was because she felt sorry for her own mother, when Aunt Ding summoned up the courage to come to the door again, Yan Ran half pushed and half agreed, and the mother and daughter reconciled up.

"Xiao Wu is going to be in trouble, let's see what she will do this time." Yan Ran gloated and said with a smile.

Aunt Ding looked at her daughter speechlessly.She has a smart face, why doesn't she want to think about things?A habit developed in the past three years, Meng Youran has to go to Meng Lai's study every night, and the father and daughter meet every day. Some people want to play on Meng Youran, is Meng Lai just a show?

Seeing Aunt Ding's expression, Yan Ran hurriedly explained, "I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything." It was just watching the fun with Yiran and Weiran.

"Even when Sister Yi ran out to accuse Xiao Wu, I didn't show up. I stayed with Sister Wei and watched the fun." Yan Ran was very pleased with herself, thinking that she was really smart and able to stay out of the matter.

Aunt Ding sighed, forget it, if she can do this, it is considered pretty good.If it was changed to the past, I am afraid that she would not even be able to stand on the sidelines, and would directly be used as a weapon.

"Auntie only has you and Brother Yu." Auntie Ding said quietly, "I just hope that both of you are well, I have nothing else to ask for. Brother Yu has a good husband now, I think the master is thinking of him , he will have a good future; my aunt is only worried about you. Good girl, no matter what you feel in your heart, you must act like you are filial to your elders and friendly to your sisters, your father will like it."

Yan Ran agreed, but Aunt Ding hesitated and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Wu often accompanies Brother Yu to do homework..."

Yan Ran said angrily, "She is the only one who pleases and behaves well, but she just lectures to Xiaoyu, gives a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and tricks Daddy into saying that she is good."

Aunt Ding could only smile wryly, this daughter, let people say what is good about her.Her own brother made Miss Wu, the half-sister, worry about her homework, and she also said that he was trying to please her.

"Anyway, with her watching and taking care of her like this, Brother Yu's homework has really improved a lot. He even got a reward from the master a while ago." Aunt Ding said euphemistically.

"What does it have to do with her? That's what Mr. Sun taught me." Yan Ran scorched her neck and refused to admit it.

Aunt Ding knew she couldn't persuade her, and she didn't dare to say much, and she didn't dare to sit in the daughter's yard for a long time. She told her that she must be careful in everything, and Fang turned her head and left.

The Tatar envoys came to Beijing to seek peace, the border war ceased, the emperor was in a good mood, and his health also improved, and he was able to participate in the early court. When the situation in the court became more and more stable, a series of chaos occurred in the Meng family:
Youran's underwear was stolen; one day when Mrs. Meng was entertaining guests in the inner house, she specially invited Youran to accompany her. Mrs. Yan's only son, Yan Han, ran out shyly holding a woman's underwear. Miss Huai grabbed her hand and dragged her away, all the wives and wives present were stunned;
