The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 12 Doubt
"Master, let's not talk about this, let's eat first!"

Liu Mei didn't have a good idea at the moment, so she decided to comb Meng Zhiwen up first, and then talk about it at night.

Meng Zhiwen had been busy all day, and he was hungry now, and Liu Mei's attentive service also benefited him, so he nodded in agreement.

Liu Mei smiled and clapped her hands, and her close maids, Qin'er and Qi'er, brought a few little maids to bring up the dishes, and within a short while, the dishes were arranged.

Meng Zhiwen sat at the table, looked at the various dishes on the table, couldn't help frowning, pointed to a small plate of beef and said, "What's going on here? Where did the beef come from?"

Listening to Meng Zhiwen's question, Liu Mei laughed: "Master doesn't know, but it was given by that girl Qin'er's family. Isn't Qin'er's father the head of a village in our house? A cow on Tianzhuangzi was frightened and fell off the cliff and died. The farmers also reported to the government, killed the cow, and sent some beef to our house. Don't move, let us share the food, I have already sent some to Brother Yu and Sister Chan."

Hearing what Liu Mei said, Meng Zhiwen stretched his brows. You must know that the Jokhang Kingdom was established not long ago. Due to the war, there were a lot of unclaimed land and a lot of wasteland, and there was a shortage of farming cattle. Since the time of the Taizu, the people of the country have issued an order that the people of the country must not kill cattle, otherwise they will be punished with a felony.

Although their Meng family is the residence of the Marquis, the family of officials, but the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, so he did not dare to eat beef casually.

Liu Mei stood aside, serving Meng Zhiwen's meal with a smile on her face, and took a quick bite herself, so she asked the little girls to fetch water, and after Hou Meng Zhiwen washed up, the two of them sat around and talked about family affairs for a while. , and sleep together with each other.

Liu Mei has been thinking about Meng Zhiwen's invitation to Yuechan for a husband, and she has been feeling uneasy. She closed her eyes and thought about it for a while. When she turned over, she saw that Meng Zhiwen was not asleep, so she whispered: "Today, my lord Speaking of the matter of inviting a husband for Sister Chan, I have something to do, I think it's better to talk to the master."

"What is it, tell me!" Since he wanted to flatter Liu Mei and straighten her up, Meng Zhiwen was also willing to show her face, so he listened to her.

"It's not that concubines can't tolerate people. I also know that my concubine's position is embarrassing. Some words will be annoying, but it's about the children, but I have to say it." Liu Mei paved the way for a while, saying that she is a kind-hearted person who thinks about children. , then changed the subject and said: "Today, a little girl in Sister Chan's yard and Caiyue in Aunt Liu's room got into a fight, which alarmed my concubine. I take care of it, but then I thought that the servants in our house have always been kind and kind. One of the two maids is someone who can be used by Aunt Liu, and the other is a child of the house, so I wanted to be more lenient and reprimanded them. That's all, who knows..."

Having said that, Liu Mei took a closer look at Meng Zhiwen's face, and saw that he had listened and felt the same way, so she continued: "I don't know who knows about this, and I don't know which tongue-chewing person told Sister Chan. Son, Sister Chan brought someone there, without saying a word, she slapped the little girl a few times, and then made the child cry on the spot, seeing how pitiful she was, and then asked the big girl to drag him away. The concubine originally wanted to say some pleading words, but then thought that this is the person in Sister Chan's house, and the concubine's name is not correct, so it is not easy to say anything, so I just let it go."

"That's it, Yuechan just beat up a slave, it's nothing." Meng Zhiwen was a little sleepy, and his voice was a little dark.

At this time, Liu Mei changed her face, with a sad look on her face: "Although I said so, at that time, my concubine and Aunt Liu were both there, and Sister Chan went to beat people without asking indiscriminately. It can be seen that her temper is indeed a bit paranoid. Today, the master said that he would invite her a husband, so the concubine thought, I should look for this gentleman first, and don't rush to invite her. Let Sister Chan raise her temperament first, and when her temperament is better, it will not be too difficult to invite a husband after being gentle with others. Chi, the master also knows that scholars think they are lofty. If you invite your husband to come, with Sister Chan's temperament, if you offend him with a bad word, although our family is not afraid of it, you can go out to protect your husband. You are not allowed to say anything, otherwise, it will be bad for Sister Chan's reputation."

Liu Mei deliberated to finish her sentence, then peeked at Meng Zhiwen, and saw that he was deep in thought, knowing that he had finished speaking, and saying anything else would be annoying, so she shut her mouth, and leaned her head gently on Meng Zhiwen's shoulder , reaching out to caress his chest, with a weak and obedient look.

Meng Zhiwen thought for a while, but he agreed with Liu Mei's words. He also thought that girls don't need to learn too much, just keep their women's duties. Moreover, he didn't have many yamen affairs during this period, and he was very concerned. In your spare time, instead of inviting your husband, you might as well take the time to teach Yuechan yourself, first see how her temperament is, and then make a decision.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhiwen hugged Liu Mei: "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful, I understand, what you said is such a reason, please put the matter of sir, let's put it aside for now!"

When Liu Mei heard this, she was very happy, and fell asleep with a smile on her lips.

Here, Liu Mei tripped Yuechan up and made some insidious tricks, but Yuechan didn't know it, and she was only waiting for Meng Zhiwen to invite her husband to learn something, but she waited and waited for several days. If she didn't get the letter, she couldn't sit still.

Yuechan didn't know what was going on, why her father didn't do the good things she promised.

Later, she thought about it, and when she thought about her previous life, her father was not willing to intervene in the affairs of the rear house, and he was extremely relieved of the old lady and Liu Mei, but he was convinced of everything they said, and thought Liu Mei was a good person who would Take good care of and teach their brothers and sisters, and never ask how their brothers are doing, so that in the end, the Meng family ended up in ruins.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yuechan despised Liu Mei a little bit. This person is a bit more refined, but unfortunately, he is all narrow-minded, not generous at all, and can't stand on the stage. Without a good upbringing, it's no wonder that his vision is a bit poor, and he sees things short-term. He only focuses on the three-acre land in the backyard of the Meng family.

Thinking of this, Yuechan thought of herself again, if she hadn't had the experience of being a ghost, she might not even be as good as Liu Mei.

Even if you can't invite a husband, Yuechan is not in a hurry, she will first practice calligraphy based on experience, and write thick piles of paper every day, and her straight wrists are so weak that she can't lift the pen before giving up.

Seeing her hard work, Thrush really felt distressed, but she also knew that Yuechan was planning for the future, so it was hard to persuade her, so she just cared about her silently, every day after practicing calligraphy, Thrush would help her on the arm Rubbing his wrists, he seemed even more tired than her.

After practicing calligraphy for a few days, Yuechan compared the previous calligraphy and felt that she had improved a lot. However, compared with the calligraphy on the copybook, there is still a big gap. The biggest gap is that Yuechan's calligraphy is soft, not at all strength.

For this matter, Yuechan struggled for several days, and finally came up with a solution.

She asked Huang Ying to sew a small cloth bag, which was filled with heavy iron blocks. When writing every day, she hung the cloth bag on her wrist, and then hung the pen to write, in order to practice the strength and flexibility of the wrist.

This method is good, but it will suffer a lot. Fortunately, because of the unsatisfactory life of Yuechan in the previous life, this time the second life is very determined, and she also has the perseverance that ordinary people can't match, so she persisted down.

Although she persevered, she didn't feel the pain, but the girls in her room were terrified when they saw it.

No matter what you say, Huamei is Yuechan's confidant. She knows Yuechan's thoughts very well, and she feels sorry for Yuechan, but she is inconvenient to say anything. She just discusses with her mother and soaks Yuechan with potion every night. Wrist, so that she will not fall into trouble.

But Huang Ying and the other little girls were frightened. Yuechan, a little girl, used this trick to practice calligraphy. Every time she saw the rope tied around Yuechan's wrist, it made her wrist turn red. Sometimes blood oozes out, and these girls feel that their hands are hurting.

The little girls are fine, they are still ignorant, but Huang Ying is sensible. Before that, she could not get used to Yuechan, thinking that Yuechan did not have a mother at such a young age, and she was a worthless person, so she would not be able to achieve great things Yes, or it may not be certain that Liu Mei will plot against her in the end, so she is not very devoted to Yuechan.

This time, Huang Ying looked at Yuechan's actions, and at the same time she was shocked, but she also admired her admiration. She is not an ignorant person, so she naturally knows that a person who can treat her so cruelly can't do it unless she has great perseverance and determination. At Yuechan's age, she can do such a thing, her future is limitless, she might even enter the palace and become a concubine.

From then on, Huang Ying was completely convinced by Yuechan, and she focused on making plans for her.

This morning, after Yuechan got up and washed up, she went to the main room to greet the old lady. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Yue'e and Yueting had arrived, chatting and laughing with the old lady. Yuechan saluted first, which was very polite Jie said hello to Yue'e and Yueting, and sat aside to listen to them.

When the old lady was talking to Yue'e, she looked at Yuechan out of the corner of her eye, and found that this girl seemed to have changed in a short time.

Previously, Yuechan's temperament was too naive, and she was also a bit wild, like a wild horse that couldn't be tethered.

But since Yuechan suffered a serious illness, she has become much quieter, she is polite to everyone, and her words are gentle and gentle, whether she is gentle and magnanimous to the master or the slave, she really has the demeanor of a lady.

The old lady was delighted to see it in her eyes. The Meng family had a small population in their room, and there were only four brothers and sisters of Yuechan in the younger generation. The old lady wanted them to have great fortune. Now she saw Yuechan's changes. , It's really like a stubborn stone turned into beautiful jade, more and more moist, she thought that Yuechan was the eldest daughter and the first daughter, and her status was naturally unusual, so she thought it would be better to focus on cultivating Yuechan, and grow up in the future Getting married and finding a good family can also help Hao Yu find support.

After making up her mind, the old lady became more friendly towards Yuechan, and after talking with Yue'e, she waved to Yuechan, "Yuechan, come over to grandma."

"Yes!" Yuechan went over with a smile, snuggled up to the old lady and laughed, "I don't know why the old lady called Yuechan?"

The old lady had a kind smile on her face, and said to Crystal: "I got a few pieces of jewelry earlier, and they looked exquisite. You go and find them and give them to the sisters to play with!"

Crystal agreed, and after a while came out with a small box, Yuechan leaned over to have a look, there were a few pieces of jewelry in the small box, all of which were carved from suet white jade, and they looked really exquisite.

The old lady reached out and took a jade bracelet. The bracelet was polished smooth and round, with a few magnolia flowers carved on the surface, which was really elegant and pleasant.

She pulled Yuechan's hand before she wanted to put the bracelet on Yuechan, but when she saw Yuechan's wrist, she was stunned.

Yuechan's wrist was red and swollen, and it looked like she was seriously injured, but Yuechan's face was calm and calm, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all, the old lady was shocked in her heart, she had this kind of pain at a young age Concentration, it's really amazing, but I'm still a little puzzled, how did Yuechan get hurt?
