concubine leisurely

Chapter 80

When Meng Lai came home from the Yamen, she was dragged happily by Mrs. Zhong, "Master, take a look, this fiery red one must be very luxurious for Xiner to wear; the snow white one is also good, pure and beautiful. Our Xiner was born so well, how can we wear it again?" Lined with such a fine fur, standing in the snow and picking up a plum blossom, I'm afraid it won't look as good as a fairy."

Recently, there are many sacrifices and happy events, and the Ministry of Rites is very busy. Meng Lai was so busy in the yamen that he was dizzy. As soon as he returned home, he was dragged by Mrs. Zhong and chattered excitedly. It took a long time for Meng Lai to understand what Mrs. Zhong meant. Leng Leng, laughed.

"Did Zhang Bing hunt it himself?" Meng Lai asked slowly, pointing to two pieces of fox skin, one red and one white.

Mrs. Zhong nodded, "Yes, that's what the nanny of the Pingbei Hou Mansion said."

"All for Xin'er?" Meng Lai was very calm.

Mrs. Zhong suddenly understood the meaning of Meng Lai's question, and said angrily, "So what's the matter if he hunted it with his own hands? Since he has honored me, which daughter I love is up to my heart!" Zhang Bing only dared to say that he was honoring his mother-in-law Yes, he dare not say that it was for Youran!
The method of Zhong's anger is exactly the same as when she was young. Meng Lai looked at his wife in front of him with a dazed expression. She is good. It has been more than 20 years and she has a grandson. When things happen, she is still so disregarded by her own temper. , no scruples.

"Father doesn't need to care about such trivial things as money and property. As long as the general appearance is good and things are done smoothly, it will be over. Also, we must try to send her out. This is the most important thing, Dad." Be sure to remember." Meng Lai laughed when he thought of what You Ran had repeatedly told him, even A You could take things lightly, but he couldn't see them?

"My wife is heartbroken for Xin'er, she must want to give her the best of herself, doesn't she?" Meng Lai asked gently.

Mrs. Zhong originally heard that Meng Lai had a sarcastic intention, so she spoke angrily, but seeing that Meng Lai was still calm and gentle after hearing her angry words, without any harsh words, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and said in a low voice, "It's me, Meng Lang. What the master said is that I feel sorry for Xiner, and I want to give her everything good. I am afraid that she will not be satisfied in the slightest. Does the master not love her?"

"I love Xin'er the same way I love You'er." Meng Lai said it very naturally, "As long as it is my own, I love him the same. Even if Xiaoyu is adopted, I always worry about him."

Zhong Shi suddenly felt a little guilty.For Meng Zhengyu, she never cared or asked, but Meng Zhengyu was also born to Meng Lai. "Xiaoyu, he is excellent in class, and Mr. Sun often praises him." Zhong stammered.

Meng Lai smiled slightly.Where does Mr. Sun always praise people?Xiaoyu's schoolwork is passable, but not excellent.

Seeing Meng Lai's smile, Zhong Shi felt a little uneasy. What she heard next made her feel like a cloud, and it took her a long time to figure it out: Meng Zhengyu is already seventeen or eighteen years old, and it's time to start a family and start a business, and it's time to move out. Alone.

"Ling alone? Where do you live?" Zhong asked stupidly.The property of the three bedrooms was taken away by Yiran.

"The third child once bought a house in Dongsi Hutong, which is very close to us. I planned to move to Beijing and Zhongzhong to get together, but it's a pity..." Meng Lai was a little choked up when he said this, and he lowered his head to wipe away his tears. Zhong quickly comforted him Said, "Third brother Quanxia knows, and he must be gratified to know that he has successors. Master, don't be sad."

Meng Lai's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice, "The third brother put the house deed in my place, and only said that he would come back after going home and clearing it up. Who knows... Now that Xiaoyu has grown up, he should get married and inherit the incense of the third brother." .If Xiaoyu lives in our house, it’s not easy to get married, so it’s better to let him live alone.”

Zhong's heart is clear.Like Meng Zhengyu, if it's not embarrassing to live in his uncle's house, who is willing to marry a good girl?If he is a single family, even if he does not have the support of his parents, he can at least try to be free, and maybe he can have a good marriage.

"It should be!" Mrs. Zhong agreed all the time, married leisurely, Meng Zhengyu went out to live alone, and only his two biological sons were left in the house. How comfortable these days are!When she was happy, Mrs. Zhong suddenly became wise, "Where is the house? I'll let someone clean it up now, and I must make Xiaoyu live comfortably."

"My wife is really virtuous." Meng Lai praised with a smile, and Mrs. Zhong was full of joy when she heard Meng Lai say softly, "The property left by the third brother has already been given to Sister Yi, but leaving this house alone is not enough for three consecutive years. My siblings don’t even know about it. Why don’t you tell the outside world that it’s your wife who gets the dowry subsidy, okay?”

With no need to bleed and gained a good reputation, Mrs. Zhong happily agreed, "I will order someone to return the house tomorrow. Master, just rest assured that Xiaoyu will be able to live in spring next year."

Meng Lai breathed a sigh of relief, and complained, "There are many things in the yamen, and there are still official duties to do." Zhong heard that he still wanted to go to the study, but she didn't walk away like she did a few days ago, she was very happy and smiled. Mi sent Meng Lai away.

Poor Zhong was just happy for a moment, when he was yelled out by Xin Ran, and his good mood disappeared without a trace.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Xin Ran dismissed the maid and shouted at Zhong, "Give me the fox skin that Marquis Ping Bei hunted himself?"

"He, he respects me." Zhong was dumbfounded.What I said to me, isn't that what I want to do?

"Honor you? People who respect you will say that Ping Beihou hunted it himself?!" People are obviously sending their fiancée, okay?All fools know it!

"Didn't mother just want to give it to you because she thought the skin was good? Didn't mother want to give you something good?" Zhong was very aggrieved.Just now I was pleased to see the eyes of the fox fur shine!Knowing that it's all his own, his whole little face is shining brightly!My daughter likes it, so the mother just wants to give it to her?

"It's not rare!" Xin Ran shouted impatiently.As long as the leisurely man can hunt foxes or not, let Ren Lei hunt next year.

Thinking of Ren Lei, tenderness suddenly arises in Xin Ran's heart.She is about to marry such a noble man in the sky, and God really treats herself well.

"Mother, listen to me, and let it all be for You Ran." Sighing happily, "The Empress Dowager will summon us in a few days and give us makeup gifts. The two of us sisters must be affectionate." The second emperor, the queen mother, and the eldest princess all fell in love with him. It is said that they appreciate the harmony and harmony of the Meng family.

"All concubines are married so well. The mistress of the Meng family must be kind and kind. The daughters she teaches must be beautiful girls." There are already such rumors in Beijing.

"Mother, the royal family has great rules, we must be cautious in our words and deeds." Xin Ran repeatedly confessed, and the Zhong family had no choice but to obey.

Why is it that the daughter is well married, but has more scruples?It was the first time that Zhong felt happy about her marriage, but it may not be perfect.

In Zhong's room, mother and daughter have different opinions, and here in the study, Meng Lai and Youran, father and daughter, also have different opinions.

"Why are you so angry, my wife is a good auntie," Youran said incomprehensibly to Father Meng's anger, "She didn't make me feel bad, you see how comfortable I've been living these years, if She is a powerful aunt, she has already restrained me."

In Youran's conception, it's good enough for Zhong Shi not to discipline her harshly, if she wants someone to treat you well, why would she be so heartless about a child born to her husband and another woman?
Unless the Virgin.

You can't ask an ordinary woman to become a saint just because of her own interests.

"She dares? Your father and I are not dead yet." Meng Lai glared at Youran.Hold my daughter?Is she worthy?

If she was so powerful, Xian'er would not have been raised in the Marquis of Ji'an, and nothing would happen afterwards.

There will be no Huang Xin, and there will be no You Ran.

It was because of Zhong's lack of power that an adoptive made a mess, sent away his son, welcomed concubines, and later sent two concubines himself.

Thinking about it, it was because of Zhong's stupidity that he was able to have Huang Xin and Youran, Meng Lai suddenly stopped complaining.There is always a benefit and a restraint, isn't it?

"Daddy, what do men want from their wives?" Leisurely's spirit of exploration gave Father Meng a headache.Father Meng looked down at the official document and ignored it.

"Shouldn't it be enough to be gentle, considerate and considerate?" You Ran chattered endlessly to herself.

Youran once listened to a class in her previous life. In the class, it was said that the three basic needs of women are security, being loved, and romance, while the three basic needs of men are admiration, tenderness, understanding and support. I don’t know Isn't that what ancient men were like?

Leisurely, a person in finance, has carefully calculated the accounts: security, being loved, and romance, Zhang Bing can give to himself; being admired, tender, understanding and support, but he may not be able to give Zhang Bing.I have a gentle appearance and a wild heart, so it is difficult to really admire someone, or else, just pretend?It may not be pretending; gentle, not too good at it, you can try being playful; understanding and support, this should be no problem.

It's not quite equal.After finishing the calculation leisurely, she didn't feel like she was getting paid.The first is to be fair!The second is to be fair!The third is to be fair!In married life, how can someone pamper and let you unconditionally for a lifetime, the only one who can do this is your own parents, okay?There is balance between husband and wife, "husband and wife, Qiye", if you want to stand with a man on an equal footing, you must always pay attention.Is it possible that as long as a woman is born in a magnificent manner, she can sit on the altar and wait for a man to come and give him non-stop?There is no such thing.

"What did he say?" Meng Lai raised his head from the official document and asked abruptly.

A look of "I know everything, don't try to hide it from me".

Dad knows we met secretly?You Ran was dumbfounded, and told the truth with a guilty conscience, "He said, as long as he has something to eat and sleep when he gets home, that's fine."

Eat and sleep!Have a sleep!Father Meng's heart was burning with anger, you brat!This brat!

Seeing Youran's innocent and innocent look, Father Meng suppressed his anger and said lightly, "He's like this, just give him something to stutter at home, as long as he's not hungry. You don't need anything else."

...Are all jealous old men like this?Looking at the sky leisurely and speechless.

The big winter sacrifice was coming soon, and the Ministry of Rites was so busy that Meng Lai didn't go home for several days, and slept directly in the yamen.

"Your father has worked so hard, my dear daughter. Mother really wants to make some soup and send it to your father to make up for." Huang Xin felt sorry for her man.

I really don't know my strengths and weaknesses.Instead of stewing soup, how about sending a sweet kiss?It saves effort, and men like it.She was born like a peerless beauty, how could she be so incomprehensible?Leisurely depressed.How can I tell her, the soup she stewed will make people die after drinking it.

Letters from Zhang Bing flew in one by one.

Leisurely doesn't want to go.I haven't passed the door yet, so I sneaked to Pingbeihou's mansion to see the new home, not reserved.

Zhang Bing's letters became more and more rogue one by one. "Sitting alone at the dining table, I'm suffocated", "I don't want to eat alone"......

"Too cautious will make you lose a lot of opportunities." Youran finally decided to go on a "date".

Leisurely nodded slightly, Mo Li's eyes lit up, and he happily went out to make arrangements.Well, now I can explain to Master Hou.

"Don't worry, girl, we have mobilized [-] soldiers and arranged them carefully so that no one will find out." Mo Li reassured You Ran.

Make an appointment, it's exhausting.Leisurely speechless.

Secretly arrived at the Pingbei Hou's Mansion, changed the sedan chair and entered the second gate, bypassed one house after another, and finally entered a room decorated as a dining room. As soon as he entered the house, You Ran regretted it very much.

Zhang Bing sat on the east side, did not stand up, and only said softly, "You are here." The undisguised lingering love in his eyes made Youran's heart thump.

What else is there to eat?The two just sat far away, looking at each other stupidly.

Don't dare to sit too close.

I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it.

"I'm leaving." You Ran wanted to escape.

"Don't go." Zhang Bing insisted softly.

"I won't come next time." You Ran was dissatisfied.

Zhang Bing smiled slightly, his eyebrows stretched, his expression was gentle, and his voice was gentle, "When you come next time, you will already be the hostess of this Hou's mansion."
