Chapter 71

"Why don't you let me tell you? What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Meng wanted to announce her feat that night, but was stopped by Mrs. Gu.

"No hurry." Gu said softly, "After receiving the Geng stickers, the Marquis of Pingbei must first ask the official media for divination, and then worship in front of the god for nine days. Only when he gets a good omen will he come to the next ceremony. Let's go to Wending Let's talk later."

discuss later.Gengtie has already been enshrined in front of the god, so it cannot be changed.I have written to urgently urge Meng Yun to come to Beijing, and he should be there by then.The father will always be present for the ceremony below, and the father will write the reply in his own hand.

Mrs. Gu appeased Mrs. Meng, sat at Weiran's place for a while, and talked with Weiran for a long time.She didn't make it too clear to Weiran, but Weiran vaguely guessed something, thinking that she had occupied Youran's yard for the past few years, and now she wanted to rob Youran's fiancé, Weiran felt apologetic.But thinking of Ping Beihou, Wei Ran's heart thumped, he was riding on a steed, so heroic!

On the day when the army of conscripts entered the city, the whole city was mobilized, not only the common people lined up to welcome them, but also many boudoir women looked out from the private rooms in the teahouses on both sides. Wei Ran also went with the Meng family sisters, watching Zhang He riding He listened to everyone pointing at him, "Hey, that's Generalissimo Zhenglu, how majestic" "Look, so young!" Think about it in your dreams; now he is only one step away from himself!Wei Ran blushed and felt hot, restless.

While comforting her agitated daughter, Mrs. Gu eagerly hoped for her husband's timely arrival. Uncle Meng lived up to his wife's hope, and he rushed here in a hurry.

"What's the hurry?" Uncle Meng was covered in sweat and covered in dust.The wife's letter only said that there was something urgent, but she didn't say what it was. Uncle Meng still didn't know what happened.

"Tomorrow is our daughter's engagement ceremony, isn't this urgent?" Gu said calmly.

Uncle Meng laughed, "You've paid attention to the matter of your niece this time. Knowing that tomorrow will be Wu Yatou's engagement ceremony, Tete called me back. That's right, I should be the uncle of Wu Yatou's matter." Put your heart into it."

Gu Shi pondered for a moment, and decided not to tell her husband yet, anyway, he would know when the time came, and he could only listen to himself when the time came.

The next day, Ge Shoufu and his wife went to the Meng Mansion to make a formal ceremony together.

Mrs. Zhong arranged everything early, and waited leisurely to see the joke.Thinking about what Gu's going to do, thinking about the matchmaker and fiance who became angry after being exposed, and thinking about the precarious marriage, Zhong's heart is full of joy.

I've come with all the etiquette, and that's right.Zhong felt that it was great that he could not only watch the excitement, but also stay out of it and avoid trouble.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong is extremely grateful to Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Gu: they have done what they wanted to do but could not.

When Ge Shoufu and his wife arrived, the two Meng brothers went to the main gate to welcome them in affectionately and respectfully. Ge Shoufu was not only an old man in the political circle, but also Meng Lai's mentor, and the great matchmaker when Meng Lai and the Zhong family got married.

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhong were waiting outside the second gate. Seeing the two brothers of the Meng family coming over with Ge Shoufu attentively, they hurriedly went up to greet him, exchange greetings, and welcome them to the hall for tea.

"The horoscope has been completed, and Qin Tianjian said it is auspicious, congratulations!" Ge Shoufu cupped his hands in congratulations. Although he was highly respected, he was gentle and modest, without putting on airs at all.

"It has been enshrined in front of the god for nine days. It's a good omen! The five girls of your mansion and Ping Beihou are a match made in heaven." Mrs. Ge smiled.

The next step is for the matchmaker to send the engagement gift. After receiving the engagement gift, the Meng family writes a post and sends the gift in return.

The wedding gift sent by Pingbeihou's mansion is the same as that of ordinary honored families, including two boxes of jewelry and two boxes of clothing.Wending, also known as Xiaoding, is the man who sent a matchmaker to tell the woman with a gift after Na Cai asked her name, followed by Dading, who was officially hired.

The show is about to begin!Zhong smiled and waited to watch the excitement.

Gu did not disappoint her.Sure enough, when Meng Lai stood up to receive the next ceremony, Mrs. Gu suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Wait a minute."

Everyone present was stunned.Only Zhong's excited eyes lit up, and he was still sitting on the official hat chair, motionless.

Everyone looked at Gu Shi.

Mother Liu sighed secretly, and silently dismissed the servants and maids, leaving only a few confidantes to serve.

Gu's heart was beating wildly, but his face was calm, and under the gaze of everyone, he said leisurely, "This appointed gift is for the fifth girl of the Meng family, but my uncle should come to pick it up."

Everyone was stunned and didn't react, only to see Mrs. Gu smiling slightly, her red lips slightly parted, "My sister Wei is the fifth in the Meng family. The Geng post that Mrs. Ge took away a few days ago is my sister Wei. son."

Ge Shoufu looked at Mrs. Ge as if he couldn't believe it.Madam Ge closed her eyes and twirled the rosary. After a long time, Fang forced to suppress the disgust in her heart.I have been a matchmaker for more than a dozen times, and they are all famous people. I have never seen such a shameless person.

Mrs. Zhong pretended to be surprised, but she was secretly happy; Uncle Meng and Father Meng were all dumbfounded.

"Is that true?" Ge Shoufu asked in a deep voice.Being a matchmaker is a good thing to do, but what if you make a mistake?That is really decades of good reputation, destroyed in one day.

Mrs. Ge opened her eyes, her eyes were calm, she looked at Mrs Gu with a little pity, "Mrs. Meng, may I ask when Miss Wei was born?"

"Jiazi year." Gu replied.

"When was Youran born?" Mrs. Ge was still very calm.

"Yichou Year." Seeing that Mrs. Gu couldn't answer, Father Meng answered.

Mrs. Ge smiled and said, "That's it. The Geng Tie I took away is obviously a Geng Tie of a woman in the year of Yi Chou, so it is naturally leisurely. How could it belong to your sister Wei?"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Gu was stunned.impossible!impossible!She screamed in her heart.

Mrs. Ge was very self-restraining, and she still said kindly, "Those who are inquired by the Qintian Supervisor and worshiped in front of the gods are leisurely Gengtie, leisurely and peaceful Beihou, it is a match made in heaven."

"No! No!" Gu's completely lost control, and shouted, "I obviously changed it! I obviously changed Youran's Geng paste and replaced it with Weiran's!"

Ge Shoufu and his wife looked at Gu with pity.Meng Lai's hands and feet were cold.Uncle Meng finally came back to his senses, and smiled wryly, no wonder she said that she had something urgent to come here, so it turned out that was her idea!

Uncle Meng supported Mrs. Gu, and said softly, "Don't be like this." Then he turned his head and apologized to Ge Shoufu and his wife, "My wife is suffering from a mad disease, so I'm talking nonsense. I'm really sorry for offending two distinguished guests."

Ge Shoufu looked like a man, why didn't he understand, and said with a smile, "So, please go down to recuperate." What should be done is still to be done.I was entrusted by Pingbei Hou.

Gu yelled wildly, and was forcibly dragged away by Uncle Meng.All the people present were from the officialdom, and they were used to ignoring some unimportant things. At that moment, Ge Shoufu and Meng Lai, as if nothing had happened, completed the ceremony of engagement with smiles on their faces.

Zhong cursed secretly: This sister-in-law is really useless!It's gone in just two moments!This excitement is not good, the marriage has not been ruined, and the Zhong family is dull.

After courteously seeing off the teacher and his wife, Meng Lai slumped on the chair.What's wrong, Youran's fiancé almost turned into Weiran!
After thinking about it, Meng Lai became angry, and then became afraid. If she was really taken away, where would she find such a free-spirited in-law's family for You Ran!

That kid Zhang Bing is not pleasing to the eye, but he is more pleasing to the eye than Zhang Bing, where is it?
Although Mrs. Meng has been an official lady for so many years, she would not dare to attend when a high-ranking official comes or a grand occasion: she is not familiar with the etiquette and rhetoric, and it would be embarrassing to come out, so she might as well just hide.

But when she was in front of her own son, the old lady Meng immediately became courageous. At this moment, she was beating the bed and furious, losing her temper at her two sons, "You two silly children, sister Wei is one year older, and she is stable and stable." Sister Wei is the right one!" Pointing at Meng Lai, he cursed, "That maidservant in your family deserves to marry into the Hou's mansion as Mrs. Hou?!"

Looking at his wobbly younger brother, Uncle Meng couldn't bear it, and persuaded, "Mother, don't be like this, the fifth girl and Ping Beihou are married a long time ago, and there is no way to change it."

The old lady Meng said angrily, "What can't be changed! If I say it can be changed, I can change it! Second child, you go! Change to Sister Wei!"

Meng Lai's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". Uncle Meng hurried forward to support him in fright, and shouted hurriedly, "Second brother! Second child!" Meng Lai said with tears, "This, this is not to force Kill me?" Passed out in Uncle Meng's arms.

When Meng Laiyouyou woke up, it was already late at night.The lights were dim, and he lay down beside the bed and squinted leisurely.Meng Lai sat up and pushed her daughter, "Get up, go back to sleep, don't catch a cold."

Rubbing her eyes leisurely, "Daddy, are you awake?" Then she fed Meng Lai some water, and Xu Xu said, "Uncle is angry; when the doctor came, he said that your life was not in danger, so the uncle left angrily, and first scolded the uncle angrily. Aunt, and then not with the grandmother; the wife returned to the main room; brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters and sisters kept watch in the middle of the night, and I let them go back to sleep."

"I, You'er, love daddy the most." Meng Lai said comfortingly.Afraid that my daughter would be tired, "Father is fine, go back to sleep."

You Ran is embarrassed to tell the truth.In fact, this is not the case.Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian were indeed persuaded to leave leisurely. These two are good husbands and fathers. Let them go back to accompany their wives and sons. Anyway, Meng Lai is fine. Stay with me, it's all because of her!" Xin Ran also had an expression of "it's all your fault" and "you deserve it", but An Ran said politely, "Fifth Sister is tired", before leaving.

"Tell me, can your uncle do it?" Meng Lai didn't know what to do.His big brother is a good guy, but he has never made any decisions, so relying on him, will it work?

"Sure enough." Youran was sure.Uncle Meng has two younger brothers. The younger brother died young, and the second brother was forced to vomit blood by his old wife and passed out. His life was in danger. Uncle Meng would definitely not stand by and do something.

Uncle Meng is indeed doing something.To Mrs. Gu, he was simple and rude, "You pack it up, and we'll leave tomorrow." Seeing Mrs. Gu's objection, Uncle Meng said calmly, "You don't want to stay in the capital anymore, or you come back to Dong County with me; Or, you go back to Le'an."

Mrs. Gu was startled, back to Le'an?Back to Le'an! "You want to divorce me?" She couldn't believe it.An old couple, how could it be possible.

"If you continue to make trouble, I will definitely send you back to Le'an Gu's house." Uncle Meng's tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation, "One of my two younger brothers is no longer here. Is it possible that the remaining one will be forced to death by you? Today If you want to snatch someone's marriage, you may do something crazy tomorrow, my Meng family is a clean family, how can I tolerate you."

If the Gu family were really sent back to Le'an, the Gu family would have nothing to say: what kind of thing did their daughter do.

How could the Gu family tolerate their daughter who was sent back?Thinking of Bai Ling and the poisoned wine, Mrs. Gu trembled all over.

"If you live well from now on, you will still be my wife; if you do something wrong again and again, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife." Uncle Meng said in a very calm tone.But the calmer Uncle Meng's tone was, the more terrified Gu felt.

He has made up his mind.Gu thought in despair.

To Mrs. Meng, Uncle Meng persuaded me gently, "Dong County is close to our hometown and has beautiful mountains and rivers. You can go back to your hometown whenever you want. You can find an old sister-in-law to talk to. It’s convenient to catch up with old relatives. You are so happy in the capital, but you are not as comfortable as your hometown, don’t you think?”

That made old lady Meng's heart moved.It's been so many years since I went back to my hometown. Isn't it good to go back and let everyone see and show off?
