Chapter 62

Du Ping raised his eyebrows, pointed at his unworthy brother and sister-in-law and said sharply, "You let the Meng family take people away so easily?!"

Changxing Hou said awkwardly, "I stopped it, I stopped it, I can't stop it." The in-laws looked amicable, but they did things so absolutely.The wife in-law just came to make noise, but he brought the big media directly, without even a word of questioning, just being so polite, he took Yueran away, and the old Marshal Zhang smiled and took out the dowry list to ask for it. Count the dowry.Mrs. Pian Hou is a worthless person, but she actually embezzled so much, more than [-]% of it. Remembering the contemptuous gaze of Marshal Zhang at that time, Chang Xinghou became angry, pointed at Mrs. Hou and scolded, "You have shallow eyes! Didn't you see that?" It’s impossible to pass money! If you embezzle your daughter-in-law’s dowry without making a sound, you will lose all face!”

At that time, Marshal Zhang just bowed his hands politely, "Both families are considerate and courteous, your family has cleared up the Meng family's dowry, and the two families have written reconciliation and divorce papers. "Although the tone is gentle, the meaning of the words is clear: don't think about the dowry of Lai Meng's family, it will be paid back every little bit!"

"I think it's because your house doesn't know how to prepare for a while, so the old man will come back in three days, can you make it?" This is a deadline.Marquis Changxing still wanted to restore it, but he didn't think about letting his son and daughter-in-law separate, so where did he start.But Mrs. Hou was about to faint from anger, and blurted out, "Then I will trouble you, old man, to come back in three days."

She regretted it as soon as she said it, and now she regrets it even more.When Yueran first got married, she took the dowry with the excuse that Yueran was young and ignorant. Reluctantly, I handed it in after all.In the past six months, not only did he wantonly spend it for himself, but he also subsidized his mother's family's unknown amount. Even a concubine like Zhimei wore gold and silver.In recent years, the Hou Mansion has become a strong outsider and a middle-ranking official. Most of the shops are poorly managed and do not make money. They live on Yongyetian and Fulutian. Now they have to pay back the dowry.

Seeing Madam Hou lowering her head and keeping silent, Marquis Changxing became more courageous, and the more she scolded, the worse it sounded. Madam Hou suddenly raised her head and looked at Changxing Marquis with hatred, "Have you scolded enough? Do you still have the face to scold me? Do you have the guts to scold me every time?" You only care about playing with Hu Meizi in the backyard all day, but you just don’t care about your family’s difficulties now! Your Humeizi have to make jewelry today and make new clothes tomorrow, where does the money come from? Can I conjure it out of thin air?"

Marquis Changxing trembled angrily, "You still beat me up! How much can they use? Can they use up the dowry of their daughter-in-law?"

Du Ping was originally angry, but now he watched his elder brother and sister-in-law in a quarrel, and after watching for a while, he burst out laughing.

Since he was a child, the eldest brother knows nothing but eating, drinking and having fun. He just needs to be his eldest son and Lord Marquis with peace of mind.Now that the new emperor is on the throne, and the army is being recruited to go on an expedition to Tatar, it is a good opportunity to make contributions. He might have been appointed as the Marshal of the Left Army, but he was hindered by the accusations of impeachment of Marquis Changxing in the past two days.

"The elder brother is so absurd and confused, how can the younger brother be better? How can he manage the army if he can't manage the family." This expedition is very important, and the emperor only felt that the selection of generals must be cautious, but if there is something wrong, he will not hired.

What are you working so hard for?Just for the wine bag in front of me?They are all really worthless for themselves.After laughing at himself, he said with a smile, "Brother, do you know how many people have impeached you in just two days?"

Marquis Changxing's face was red and his ears were red, he was very embarrassed.These officials are so hateful, they even found out how many years ago he molested the women of the people, "occupying the people's land", "bullying the weak women", "indulging in sex", "lingering in brothels", "doting concubines and destroying wives", "Private morality is not cultivated", these things often happen in noble families. When you meet a kind emperor, such as the first emperor, you may reprimand him or even let it go with a smile. But now the new emperor is on the throne, it seems that these people only get salary The idle nobles who don't work are not pleasing to the eye, not only sternly reprimanded, but also took back Fulutian.

Fortunately, Yongyetian is still there, otherwise how would the family live, Changxing Hou broke out in cold sweat.

Du Ping looked at the sluggish Changxing Hou and the angry Madam Hou, and said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law are kind-hearted, Fu Lutian is deprived and they are so carefree. Dare I ask you, how do you plan to end this matter?" "

Before Du Ping returned to Changxing Marquis Mansion, he paid a visit to Meng Lai.Meng Lai looked like a modest gentleman, and said gently and elegantly, "Small things are nothing more than reprimands; the founder of a country like your mansion, unless you rebel, it must not be a big deal."

This dynasty has always emphasized civility over military affairs. Are these civil servants easy to mess with?Meng Lai was born as a third member of Yijia, with a literary reputation all over the world, and he has many colleagues and classmates. His teacher Ge Yin is now the chief assistant of the cabinet.I'm afraid this is just the beginning, if the Marquis of Changxing doesn't know what happened, what will happen in the future.In terms of ferocity, civil servants are more ferocious than generals, and a pen can kill someone.

"What else can I do? Everyone has taken them back." Mrs. Hou said stubbornly.

"The Meng family only said that Mrs. Meng missed her granddaughter and called Yueran back to her house to accompany her. They didn't say anything else. It can be seen that there is still room for redemption." Du Ping reminded.

Mrs. Hou cheered up all of a sudden, "Hmph, I know that the Meng family doesn't want to part with it! The Hou's mansion is so rich, and Peng'er is young and heroic, how can she be willing?" Suddenly she became complacent. It's empty.She secretly vowed in her heart that she would take good care of Yueran in the future, and show off her prestige as a mother-in-law, so that Meng Yueran would be submissive from now on and never dare to say "no".

It's just a good concubine, but the Meng family dares to disagree, so jealous!This is a big crime for a woman, let's see how she dares!Madam Hou held her head high.

Marquis Changxing looked at his younger brother apologetically, "Brother didn't think clearly. It's only been half a year since we got married. What kind of concubine did we accept? This is our fault. If we don't mention the concubine in the future, the Meng family will have nothing to say." Alright."

Mrs. Hou screamed, "No way! It doesn't matter whether you take a concubine or not, but if the Meng family makes such a fuss and we change our words, wouldn't it increase the prestige of the Meng family?"

Du Ping really has the urge to scold others. The Meng family has used all the contacts accumulated over the years to kill the generals on such a large scale. Does it mean that if you don't take a concubine, everything will be closed?Dreaming.

As for Mrs. Hou, who is not clear about the situation, Du Ping doesn't even want to talk about it.

Du Ping was really impatient to tangle with Mrs. Hou, so he dragged Chang Xinghou to the study.Marquis Changxing was stunned when he heard his younger brother's back and forth, "The Meng family is so ruthless!"

Du Ping frowned and said, "In other words, if my daughter leaves the cabinet for only half a year, my husband's family wants to find a beautiful distant cousin as the second wife, and I can't agree to it. How can my daughter have a good life in the future? It's better to break up."

The Du family is all supported by this capable younger brother, and Marquis Changxing dared not offend him in his spare time.Hearing what his younger brother said solemnly, Marquis Changxing cheered up and discussed closely with his younger brother.

Mrs. Hou was very proud, and when Du Peng came back, she said happily, "I just said, the Meng family pretends to be a scholarly disciple, which is a good face. Even if the Meng family girl is really wronged in her husband's house, she can only bear it What's more, his girl lives so comfortably in our house. Don't worry, the Meng family won't last for a few days, and they will definitely turn around and beg us."

The two families really fell out, which is not good for the Du family, but it is even worse for the Meng family. It is said that the Meng family girl is not tolerant and not virtuous.Whose family lives without any stumbling blocks, and is about to divorce to take a concubine. Who will dare to care about this girl in the future?
Du Peng smiled wryly, Meng Lai was going to take Yue Ran away that day, and he thought it was just talking, "It is better to demolish ten temples than break up one marriage", how can a father-in-law expect his daughter to divorce?Unexpectedly, Yue Ran really left with Meng Lai in a short while, and when Du Peng chased him out in a panic, Yue Ran looked at him coldly and refused to go back with him.

"You don't have the heart to disobey your mother, how can I have the heart to disobey my father?" Yue Ran said quietly.

At that moment, Du Peng was really embarrassed.It is true that he wanted to have both the best of both worlds, and under the banner of Mrs. Hou, "Although it is not good, it was ordered by my mother. I am just a concubine, so I accept it." No matter how virtuous she was, she followed Meng Lai back to her mother's house without any hesitation.In the past two days, I have been to Meng's house several times, but I was blocked, and I couldn't even see Yue Ran's face.

"Son, just rest assured." Mrs. Hou persuaded Du Peng earnestly, "We are the husband's family, and the husband's family is heaven. Your ignorant daughter-in-law doesn't know what life she is living in her mother's house. She regrets it." of."

Mrs. Hou really did not make a mistake this time, Yue Ran really had a hard time after returning home.The second room of the Meng family, regardless of her biological parents, brothers and sisters, whether she was of the same mother or her next mother, all comforted and comforted her, but the old lady Meng, Yiran and Weiran often spoke harsh words and gave cold faces.

"It will be spread that the girl from the Meng family is intolerant and jealous, isn't it nice?" Yi Ran said coldly while she was doing her needlework.

"Elder sisters should also love younger sisters. What will happen to younger sisters?" Wei Ran was originally waiting for happiness in the capital, and was looking forward to a good marriage. Yue Ran's incident affected her plan.

"You're confused! That distant cousin is a concubine no matter how precious she is, so she's going to get angry because of this? Don't even think about the reputation of the Meng family! Don't even think about the younger sisters!" Old lady Meng said unceremoniously, "And your old man, Also confused!"

A girl married out of the family has a good life, she is blessed and enjoys it; a bad life is her fate, suffer it!What's the point of going back to her mother's house at every turn.

He listened happily.Xinran's eyes were already red, she wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to speak, she just held Yueran's hand tightly to comfort her, hating her to death.

Yan Ran couldn't bear it, but she didn't dare to contradict the old lady, she only secretly glanced at Yue Ran from time to time, trying to comfort her with her eyes.

An Ran smiled and said, "In just two days' time, the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion has been reprimanded twice by the imperial edict, and also deprived of Fulutian. Let's wait and see." Let's see how long the Marquis of Changxing Mansion can last.

Xinran and Anran have always had the most tacit understanding, and said with a smile, "His family still has Yongye Tian, ​​so he won't die of hunger."

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corners of De Yueran's mouth.

The old lady Meng was still nagging about "the husband's family is the sky", and kept reprimanding Yueran. Yueran was very disappointed in the old lady Meng, and had two younger sisters to encourage her, but it was not too much. sad.

"Where's Xiao Wu?" Mrs. Meng nagged for a long time, only to find that Youran had long since disappeared.

"Going back to the old lady, my father assigned work to Fifth Sister, and Fifth Sister is busy in the study." Xin Ran said happily.To say that Xiao Wu didn't follow her father for so many years in vain, the impeachment papers she wrote are wicked and cruel enough!

After Meng Lai came home from the office, he greeted the old lady respectfully, Wen Yan said to Yiran, "Mrs. Yan has been frightened since that day, and has been ill until now. The Yan family's intention is to congratulate..."

The old lady Meng said sharply, "No! Who cares about a girl who Chongxi married in the past?"

Meng Lai smiled and said, "My son can't bear it either. It's just that the old lady often teaches that the husband's family is the sky, and if the husband's family wants to rejoice, how can they not agree."

The old lady Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile and said, "It depends on the situation if the husband's family is the sky. It is absolutely impossible to be happy like this."

Meng Lai said gently, "What the old lady said is true." Then he turned his head and apologized to Wei Ran and said, "Miss Wei suffered a lot at the second uncle's house, and the second uncle didn't want to wrong Miss Wei. Tomorrow, when I was free, I asked someone to send my sister back to the mountain." county."

Wei Ran was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Where is the grievance? The second uncle's house is very good."

Meng Lai confirmed in a soft voice, "Miss Wei has not been wronged at Second Uncle's house?" Seeing Wei Ran nodding repeatedly, she smiled and said, "If you are unhappy at anything, just tell Second Uncle."

No matter how stupid Wei Ran was, she knew that Meng Lai meant to beat her. This was clearly told: If you have any dissatisfaction, tell me; don't mess with my daughter.

Seeing Meng Lai guarding Yue Ran so tightly, old lady Meng felt bored and ordered Meng Lai to back down.Meng Lai wanted to say something more, but when he looked up and saw Mrs. Meng's expression was not hesitant, he thought about it, bowed and left, and went to the main room.

Zhong first complained, "This Du family is really outrageous! Treating my daughter like this!" Then she shed tears, "I, Yue'er, have a hard life."

Meng Lai had a splitting headache.My wife is 40 years old, and she is still like this when things happen. She either complains or cries. It is just a daydream to expect her to have her own ideas.

At a young age, Ayou also knows that "a difficult matter, there are at least three ways to deal with it." There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. What is the future?

That little girl is really a ghost. She used to shake her head frequently about Zhengxian growing up in her grandfather's parents, and counted to herself with her fingers, "The best way is to make friends with the clan. The grandson of the nineteenth uncle was appointed by the clan to adopt him; It was to persuade the eldest aunt to let Brother Kuan take care of him; in the end, he was fostered by his grandparents." He also leaned closer to himself and asked curiously, "Why did you choose the one that is most unfavorable to you?"

"In the case of adoption, although the adoptive blood is the closest, it still requires the willingness of the biological parents. There is no biological parent who is unwilling to grab someone else's son." Ayou's words seemed to be in his ears, and Meng Lai was powerless. Looking at the crying wife, she will never know this, she doesn't think about it at all.Back then, I was trying to think of a way to keep my son without hurting the old lady's heart, but Zhong's only cries, and the Marquis of Ji'an brought out a Heavenly Master Zhang without any discussion with me. , I let go of him, which made Zheng Xian unable to grow up by his side.

"It's best for children to grow up by their biological parents." Even Ayou knows the truth, doesn't the father know?When Ding Ling first entered the door, Meng Lai would be furious whenever he thought that his son's absence was related to Zhong's stupidity and the domineering of the Marquis of Ji'an.

Just, what's the point?After all, this is his wife.The heart is not bad, but she was too spoiled since she was a child, and she will not grow up in her life.Meng Lai could only sigh.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind: the daughter-in-law will never marry a young girl, and never marry an old girl.

When I arrived at the study room at night, Youran was still writing hard, scolding people is really a pleasant thing, the opportunity to scold someone is rare!

Meng Lai's heart ached terribly, "Don't rest! Don't exhaust my daughter."

Leisurely didn't take it seriously, she smiled and said, "I'm not tired." I really like swearing, it's so fucking enjoyable.

Thinking of the eldest daughter, Meng Lai's face darkened, "This Du family actually squandered [-]% of your sister's dowry." It only took half a year, and it was too fast.

Leisurely clapped her hands and laughed, "Great! I'm going to use this [-]% of the dowry to exchange for a big benefit for my sister!"
