concubine leisurely

Chapter 65

Mrs. Cheng Guogong's wife, Zhong Li's face was sinking like water, and the younger sister Zhong Zhen, who was on the opposite side, cried and said, "I just said that the fifth girl has already agreed to someone, and I am not allowed to ask who it is! I just said, "My concubine's daughter." Can't I, as a aunt, ask about the marriage, he got annoyed and said to me, 'You deserve to be a aunt too?!'".

When Zhong said this, she became excited, "Why am I not worthy of being a concubine? I have always treated his daughter well, but I didn't make winter clothes for him last winter. His daughter was not cold, and she put on pure clothes in a few days." A crane cloak made of white fox fur, say 'gifted by Auntie'."

Thinking of leisurely little face surrounded by a snow-white fox-style collar that looked even more beautiful, it made her own happiness lose a bit of color, and Zhong Shi felt even more angry that concubine daughters were more elegant than concubine daughters, That's okay, it's against her.

In fact, according to Lei Ran, she didn't want to provoke Zhong Shi so much, so she just had to suffer. As long as Zhong Shi's anger can be calmed down, the family can live a peaceful life.But Father Meng never agreed, the prostitute daughter was born to him, and the concubine daughter was also born to him, he felt sorry for whoever suffered.As for how the Zhong family got angry, Meng Lai became less and less concerned.

The relationship between husband and wife is actually a very fragile relationship.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong comforted Mrs. Zhong pitifully, and asked softly, "Why don't you make winter clothes for her?"

Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly, "I'm just angry that a concubine is living so well." He just wanted to punish her.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong sighed, the younger sister's temper has not changed so far, and everything is exposed on her face.The lady in the main room doesn't really want to see the concubine's daughter, but she still has to do her best to show her face, even buttoning up her winter clothes, what's the point.

Whose family's concubine and concubine are not annoying.It's not bad to be like a little sister. There are only a few concubines in the family, and there are no concubines. The concubine is the real trouble.

"Has she been disrespectful to you? Contradicting you? Or plotting against you behind your back?" Mrs. Cheng Guogong asked.

"No. I can pretend." Zhong was very helpless.Leisurely has never been rude to her, never contradicted her, and never calculated anything behind her back.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong shook her head secretly.No matter how favored the concubine is, she will be married off with a dowry for a few years, and it is really not worthwhile to get angry with them.What's more, this concubine is at least superficially respectful to her aunt, so there is no reason to take advantage of her, it is completely unnecessary.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong thought of her concubine and concubine, and smiled wryly, that was the real problem.Let’s just talk about the four sons born of a concubine, whose biological mother is beautiful and favored. Cheng Guogong Aiwu and Wu are also very kind to these four sons. They are only fourteen or fifteen years old and they force themselves to find a suitable daughter-in-law. Cheng Guogong repeatedly confessed.How can I be willing to find a good girl with a high family background, but I can't get a job if I find a bad one. After reading it among relatives and friends, this fifth girl of the Meng family is pretty good. Although she is a concubine, she has first-class appearance One thing, when such a talent is brought in front of Cheng Guogong, he has nothing to say.

Zhong scolded and said, "I have already said, seniors and young are in order. My third girl is talented and famous, and she is born of a good concubine. Wouldn't it be better than the girl born to Xiaowu? My sister doesn't want it." Otherwise, nothing happened.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong sighed and said, "I don't want to. It's your brother-in-law who doesn't want to, saying that your third girl is a bit ordinary and not worthy of his precious little four."

Zhou Ziqi, the fourth son of Cheng Guogong's concubine, prided himself on his talent and appearance, and vowed to marry a stunning woman.It is not easy to find such a stunning woman of comparable status.It was so easy to have Meng Youran, but his father still didn't agree.

If this doesn't work, I'll think of another way to see the girl again, Mrs. Cheng Guogong laughed at herself.Is it easy to be the wife of the Duke's mansion?

Zhong Shi was very angry with Meng Lai, she dragged her sister to confide in her for a long time, she almost let out a sigh of relief, and finally burst out laughing, "It's just a concubine, spoiled like this, let's see who she can marry in the future! Last year, my sister-in-law told Zhang Bing of Duke Wei’s mansion, and your brother-in-law also looked down on him, but what happened? He is now the Grand Marshal of Conquest, a figure under one person and above ten thousand!” The more Mrs. Zhong laughed, the more unkind, “This If I promised, but they didn't let me know who it was, it must be because my son-in-law couldn't tell me."

Zhong's heartfelt regret, "Sister, tell me, Zhang Bing just won a big victory, why didn't he return to the court like a master?" Meng Lai didn't know what to regret.

Zhang He led the army to kill the Tatars, chased them across the Great Wall, entered the account of the Tatar Khan King, and beheaded tens of thousands of enemies. When the news came, the whole country was excited.The imperial court has sent envoys to the border to commend him.

Such a good family still refuses to marry, how can you treat your daughter as a fairy?

Mrs. Cheng Guogong smiled and said, "I don't know that. I'm also surprised. Why didn't you come back after a big victory. But my little sister, Zhang Bing is not a member of Wei Guogong's mansion. In his mansion, there is a self-built ancestral hall in his mansion.

He even built the ancestral hall by himself, so he really didn't plan to go back to Duke Wei's mansion.Zhong's eyes widened, he was puzzled, it's not good to have a serious background, why didn't he go back.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong knew her younger sister's thoughts, and said softly, "If you are an ordinary young man, it is best to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, and have a family to rely on, but he has already become the Grand Marshal by himself. Relying on it may be a burden, so it’s okay not to go back.” In the current situation of Duke Wei’s mansion, if Zhang returns, the whole mansion may have to rely on him to support it.

Mrs. Zhong seemed to understand, Mrs. Cheng Guogong smiled, "I heard that Duke Wei is mad." Zhong was very surprised, "Isn't he very unfilial?" He made his grandfather mad.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong shook her head, "No. Everyone knows why Wei Guogong is sick, but they can't tell. Zhang Bing is 20 years old and has never been included in the genealogy. What face does Wei Guogong's mansion say about Zhang Bing? Unfilial? What’s more, Wei Guogong ordered Zhang Bing to set up his own family.” How can a person whose family has never officially recognized it be accused of being unfilial.Although Wei Guogong's mansion has fallen a bit, it is not so low.

From then on, the Zhong family became more concerned about the frontline battles, and often asked Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian to read some battle reports.I wholeheartedly look forward to Zhang He's triumphant return as soon as possible, so that Meng Lai's father and daughter will regret it.

"Why is mother suddenly concerned about the war?" Meng Zhengxian asked his brother quietly, puzzled.

Meng Zhengxuan didn't know the reason, but he didn't care too much. It wouldn't hurt to read the battle reports from the front.He only smiled and teased his younger brother, "Maybe I'm afraid that you will go to the battlefield quietly again."

Meng Zhengxian blushed.Last winter, he and Zhong Xie ran to the military camp without telling their families to join the army, but they were beaten by the boss of the Fu family. Zhang Bing told them that "serving the country is not the only way to go to battle and kill the enemy. Defending the emperor and protecting the people of the capital are equally heavy responsibilities. "It is recommended that one of them go to the palace as a bodyguard, and the other go to Wucheng Bingma Si as a deputy commander.

Meng Zhengxian said unfairly, "He is really brazen, saying that the two of us are still young, and he is not a few years older than us!" Meng Zhengxuan just smiled and said nothing at his immature brother. How could he want his younger brother and cousin to join the army without telling the family.There are such pampered and spoiled children from aristocratic families who sneak out in the army. It is not strength, but trouble.

They sent people away so easily and swiftly, neither the Meng family nor the Zhong family were offended.

"What's wrong? Five cousins ​​have saved three fires in the past few months and captured more than a dozen thieves. The people in the capital greatly praised it." Meng Zhengxuan really thinks this is also very good. The frontline soldiers are great, and they can protect the capital well. Law and order is also hard to come by.

"Even you, didn't you catch an assassin who broke into the palace and made meritorious service." In fact, it was a lunatic who somehow insisted on breaking into the palace, but was captured bravely by Meng Zhengxian who was on duty.

Meng Zhengxian muttered in a low voice, "I still want to fight on the battlefield." Meng Zhengxuan laughed and said, "Which general dares to ask you? Just go."

Meng Zhengxian let out a sigh of relief.Zhang Bing personally sent the two of them out of the barracks so politely, which general would dare to take them?
Don't even think about fighting this battle.

Meng Zhengxian returned to Ji'an Hou's mansion with his head downcast.When I got to my room, I found two fresh and beautiful little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, hey, what's going on?

"Madam Hou said that the young master has grown up, and these two are for the young master's personal service." The nanny smiled ambiguously. The man in the Hou's mansion is fifteen or sixteen years old or even earlier As for the house girl, Young Master Biao is considered late, he is already seventeen or eighteen years old.

Meng Zhengxian was stunned, looked at the nanny, looked at the two shy and timid girls, turned around and went to Madam Hou, thanked him with a smile, "I know my aunt loves me." There is no such thing as a housekeeper before marriage.

Madam Hou, like Ji'an Hou Zhongyuan, really cared for Meng Zhengxian, and it was out of good intentions to send the girl away, seeing that he insisted on refusing, that's all.It was just that when I was chatting with my sister-in-law, I accidentally mentioned this matter, and sighed, "Xian'er is a good boy with a sincere heart."

Zhong Heng's wife Sun Shi heard this, but her heart was moved.Why can't she see her daughter Zhong Wei's thoughts? One is that the child is still young, so let's take a cold look at it;Seeing Meng Zhengxian like this now, he was very tempted.

If Meng Zhengxian was really a gentleman, Zhong Wei would be a close relative if he married him, Mrs. Sun pondered.There is another advantage, there is no reason to change marriages, if Zhong Wei marries Meng Zhengxian, Zhong Xi's petty thoughts will be ignored from now on.

After seeing Xiao Wu of Meng's family, Zhong Xi ran to his little aunt's house whenever he had something to do, and nine out of ten times he came back dejected: he either saw no one, or saw several people.Whenever Menglai is not present, Youran tries not to show up; even if she has no choice but to show up, she will definitely bring Xinran and Anran together.

Now that Mrs. Sun has this idea, she must discuss it with her husband when they meet at night.Zhong Heng pondered for a while, and said, "We only have one daughter, A Wei, as long as the child is good, there is nothing wrong with it. However, Xian'er has treated A Wei like any other sister since she was a child." He didn't feel that his nephew liked his daughter.If the son-in-law doesn't like his daughter, how can the daughter live well.

Sun pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You don't know yet. My sister-in-law quietly asked Xian'er what kind of wife she wants to marry. She is an aunt so I can give you details. Guess what your precious nephew said? He said that marriage is a matter of parents' decision." , he will marry whoever his parents want him to marry."

Zhong Heng also laughed, "Although this child grew up in our family, he looks like a member of the Meng family, and we can't change it."

The husband and wife looked at each other, and their hearts were connected: Meng Zhengxian is handsome, upright, has no bad habits, and is very motivated. He is a rare good boy; if he can abide by the Meng family's rules, Zhong Wei will be able to live comfortably after marrying him day.

In a few days, Mrs. Sun will inevitably bring up this matter when Mrs. Tai is happy, but Mrs. Tai will not speak for a long time.

Sun was worried.Mrs. Tai said slowly, "The blood relationship is too close." In an extremely regrettable tone.

How obedient Sun was, she hurriedly said, "Ge Shoufu and his wife are also cousins, and the children they gave birth to are smarter than the other. Besides, it's a good thing to be close to each other, knowing the root and the bottom."

Mrs. Tai finally nodded.She is alive and well, Zhong Wei's eyes can't see it.As I get older, my heart becomes softer and softer. I really can't bear to let my beloved granddaughter be sad.

Fortunately, Zhong Wei's surname is not Ji.If it is a girl from the Ji family, no matter what, it is impossible to marry a blood relative within three generations.

This marriage went very smoothly: Mrs. Zhong had always loved Zhong Wei, and she was very happy to marry a niece from her natal family as her direct daughter-in-law; Meng Lai also knew that Zhong Wei was a good girl, but she was too gentle. It's okay.

The old lady Meng looked displeased, "It's the daughter of the Zhong family again! Could it be that the man of the Meng family is determined to marry the daughter of the Zhong family?" But Meng Lai couldn't help but make up his mind, and just patiently explained with a smile, but it was Don't let go of a word.The old lady Meng sighed, "Forget it, it's the two of you who are marrying the daughter-in-law, so you can just fancy it. No one will listen to what the old lady says." In the end, she was fooled.

After the marriage was settled, Meng Zhengxian moved from the Zhong family back to the Meng family.After returning home, Xinran inevitably made fun of her, and the second young master blushed.

Ji Yun watched his uncle and sister-in-law fight with a smile.I have a good vision, Meng Zhengxuan is a good man and husband, as upright and courteous as the men in Ji's family.Uncles and sisters-in-law are also good, simple-minded.

As for the mother-in-law and the great-grandmother, Ji Yun shook his head with a smile, whose mother-in-law is not troublesome.

Thinking of being angry with her mother-in-law twice, she leisurely looked at herself with sympathy and said "mother-in-law is fiercer than a tiger", Ji Yun laughed out loud.

Leisurely sneezed.

Who is thinking about their failure?
"Girl, the thirteenth girl from Duke Wei's mansion is here."

Zhang Xi hurriedly ran in, "Oh, it's really not easy to see you once, so I have to inform you layer by layer. Only after seeing your old lady, wife, and sister-in-law can I meet your eldest lady!"

Leisurely smiled and pulled Zhang Yan to sit down, "Don't cross your hips like this, you are so aggressive, you look too much like Thirteenth Sister."

Zhang Xi winked and understood leisurely, causing the people around him to retreat.

Zhang Yan took Youran's little hand and said anxiously, "My second brother is getting engaged!"

Leisurely smiled and said, "That's a good thing." Zhang Shu is the niece who has already settled in Mrs. Wu's natal family, and she got married a few days ago.The eldest is married, isn't it the turn of the second?

Zhang Xi stomped his feet and said, "It's not like you don't know what he's thinking!"

Leisurely said indifferently, "His thoughts are not important at all." When his thoughts are useless to change any facts, ignore them.

Zhang Xi was stunned, "Ayou, you are so cruel!" Didn't Ayou play well with the second brother in Guangzhou?No, the second brother is in such pain, it can't be like this!Zhang Xi grabbed Youran impulsively, "Ayou, he wants to see you, you should meet him."

You Ran looked at Zhang Xie strangely, "Seeing him? And then?" What's the use of seeing him, and the consequences of seeing him, have you ever thought about it.

Zhang Xi was taken aback by the question, she hadn't thought about this question at all, and stammered, "Then, you two beg my mother together, my mother is very kind..."

"I don't like to ask for help." You Ran said slowly.

"Can't do it because of him?" Zhang Wei was almost desperate.

"No." You Ran was sure.

"But he really likes you." Zhang Xi was angry.

like?How easy it is for a man to like a woman.That little liking is not enough to do anything.

But just because of this little liking, he wants to ask you to give everything of yourself, including your reputation and future.Isn't that right, if you really listen to Zhang Xi's words and meet him, then you will really be doomed.

A boy's liking may be very innocent, but it's just like it.The choice of a man is truly responsible.There is more than one man who claims to like him, but he is the only one who has devoted his heart and soul to him and really thought of himself from the beginning to the end.

He didn't know what to do.

Zhang Xie was still angry, but Youran was in no mood to coax her, she just smiled and said, "Ah Ji, don't worry, I promise you, your second brother will be sad, disappointed, and cry, and it will only be for a while. Soon he will marry a wife and have children, and live a good life. If you don't believe me, let's bet two catties of melon seeds."

Zhang Xi looked at Youran in disbelief.

"Or, half a catty of peanuts?" Leisurely changed his words.

Zhang Xi was startled for a while, and fled in despair.
