Chapter 121

Absolutely not at the mercy of others.

Yuechan gritted her teeth, mother fought hard for the chance she got, she would never let others arrange her future, she should not live sad and hopeless, live happily, and be worthy of mother's painstaking efforts.

"Yuechan, what do you say if you say something?"

The old lady asked slowly.

Yuechan raised her head sharply, sat upright, looked straight at the old lady, her eyes were bright: "Old lady, Yuechan will never agree."

Uh, the old lady was thinking about Yuechan's temperament, even if she didn't want to, she wouldn't say anything against it, but she didn't expect that Yuechan would be so resolute in her opposition.

"Why?" The old lady couldn't figure it out, wouldn't it be good to marry into the royal family?Why is Yuechan unwilling.

Yuechan brushed her hair back and solemnly said, "Yuechan will never be a little girl!"

Gritting her teeth and expressing her wish, Yuechan straightened her body, just stood in front of the old lady, and looked at her firmly: "The prince's side concubine is also a side concubine, and also a concubine's room. Yuechan is not willing, and Yuechan will do it. It is necessary to be a serious first wife, and would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail."

As soon as she spoke, the old lady was about to fail, and she couldn't help being furious, pointing at Yuechan: "Okay, okay, you really are... I'm afraid this matter won't be tolerated if you want it or not. Since ancient times, the marriage of a daughter's family has always been between parents. You are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks about the words of the matchmaker."

At this moment, Yuechan sneered in her heart, that's it, are you getting impatient, old lady, finally you have revealed your true colors.

Now that they have fallen out, Yuechan doesn't mind making a big fuss, if offending someone, she must offend to the end.

Before, Yuechan had been patient and careful, but she got something again. No one took her seriously, and everyone wanted to take advantage of her. This time, she, Meng Yuechan, would definitely not be able to let these people do what they wanted.

"Old lady, Yuechan's father is still alive."

In a word, the old lady completely fell silent, Yuechan had already warned her that she was someone with her father, since it was her parents' order, she naturally let her father make the decision, the old lady is a grandmother, a generation away Can't control the granddaughter's marriage.

Yuechan smiled, without any humility: "I have already made up my mind about what Yuechan said, and no one will change it. If the old lady really wants me to marry into the fifth prince's house , then, Yuechan still has two ways to go, one is to become a monk, and the other is to die, Yuechan is not afraid of making things big, let alone losing her reputation, even if she can't get married in the future, Yuechan will not regret it."

Every word was powerful, Yuechan finished speaking, and bowed slightly: "What Yuechan said was from the heart, and I offended the old lady, and I hope you will forgive me. After all, the old lady is getting old, so she should take a good rest." Take a break, some things, it's better to be quiet."

After finishing speaking, Yuechan straightened her clothes and walked out of the room with her head held high.

Once out of the main room, Yuechan looked up at the sky. In late autumn, the sky was high and the air was clear, and the sky was so blue that it made people feel more open-minded.

Yuechan clenched her fist, so what about the woman?Even if she is a woman, she cannot be manipulated by others. If the old lady wants to use her as a tool to curry favor with the imperial concubine, it depends on whether she is happy or not.

After walking a few steps, Yuechan couldn't help but think of what the old lady said. She and the old lady of the Liu family had a good idea to exchange her and Qingning for the prosperity of the two houses. Ning will not let these two people get what they want.

However, does Qing Ning know about this matter?
Yuechan rubbed her chin, thinking a little anxiously, she must find an opportunity to send Qing Ning a letter, so that she can prepare, otherwise, if Qing Ning is really sent to the prince by the old lady of the Liu family, thinking of the lustful prince , Yuechan couldn't help shivering, this was really unbearable.

As soon as Yuechan left, the old lady was so angry that she patted the table and scolded: "Okay, okay, everyone is grown up, dare to disrespect the elders, that's great, it's a waste of my teaching."

After scolding Yuechan for being ungrateful, the old lady felt oppressed in her chest. She has been in the Meng family for decades, and she has always said the same thing. Wherever she has suffered this grievance, if she doesn't let it out, the old lady will not let it go.

After calling Jing Jing, the old lady said loudly: "Go and see if the master is back. Let him come over as soon as he comes back. I will ask him how to teach his daughter."

Jing Jing responded and backed away, thinking in her heart, how did the eldest miss offend the old lady, how did she make the old lady so angry, and still want to find the master?

Although she couldn't figure it out, Jing Jing was still very dedicated. She hurried to Meng Zhiwen's room and asked the maids. When she learned that Meng Zhiwen hadn't returned home, she asked the maids to send a letter to tell Meng Zhiwen to come back. See the old lady.

Meng Zhiwen is very interested today. The Ministry of Agriculture sent people to get the rice seeds in the southern country. Although the timing is not right, this season cannot be planted in the north, but it can still be planted in warm places in the south. Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture are separated there. I planted a lot of rice in a field, and looking at it now, the growth is very good, it seems that it must be able to produce high yields, and he has also been praised by Lord Shangshu, and he is very happy.

Meng Zhiwen still has the backbone of a noble literati, and always feels that it is an honor to be able to do practical things for the king and the people. He is praised, and his heart is like drinking honey water.

As soon as he came back to the house, he heard the girl close to him say that the old lady was looking for him, so he wondered if the old lady was feeling unwell, and he was also very concerned, so he changed his clothes and left.

As soon as he entered the door, Meng Zhiwen felt that something was wrong. The room was too quiet, which made people feel depressive.

Seeing the old lady sitting upright, Meng Zhiwen was about to step forward to salute, but he heard the old lady sneer: "I don't dare to be your salute, get up quickly, now that I am too old, I don't deserve the respect of the juniors, No one listens to me anymore, I just think about it, when I close my eyes and see your father, I can calm down."

Meng Zhiwen's face was a little ugly, what did the old lady mean by that?Doesn't this mean that he is not filial? Could it be that he did something bad and made the old lady angry? Doesn't the old lady mean that he can't tolerate the old man and force the old lady to die? This should be spread, an unfilial name With his head down, his future is over.

"The old lady is too serious, and her son can't afford it." Meng Zhiwen hurriedly saluted and stood aside cautiously: "I don't know why the old lady called her son here?"

"What's the matter?"

The old lady sneered: "What else can I do? Your good daughter, dare to shame me..."

Meng Zhiwen was even more puzzled, wondering if Yue Ting caused trouble again: "Yes, it's all Yue Ting's fault, isn't it, my son will teach her a lesson."

Uh, the old lady was stunned. She didn't expect Meng Zhiwen to misunderstand Yue Ting's troubles, and she was even more displeased. She felt that Meng Zhiwen was partial to Yue Chan, and whenever something bad happened, she would put it on Yue Ting's head, but she didn't want to think about Yue Chan. .

"Where is Yueting, it's the girl Yuechan." The old lady slapped the table, thinking about how she thought about Yuechan and the Meng family, she wanted Yuechan to marry into the fifth prince's house, and how Yuechan was disrespectful , How to resist, how not to give her face all told.

In the end, the old lady said bitterly: "At first, I only said that Yuechan is a good person, but now it seems that she has no respect in her eyes. Since she said that her parents are responsible for marriage, and her father is still alive, then Wen'er, you can make the decision. I only say that it is for her good. I am a grandmother, so I can't hurt her, but she doesn't know good people. You are her father. Tell her, how will this matter succeed? Is it possible?"

Meng Zhiwen stood still. Hearing the old lady's complaints, he felt very awkward and 12 reluctant.

After a while, the old lady finished speaking, Meng Zhiwen stepped forward, and said with a smile: "It's all Yuechan's fault, my son made an apology for her. The old lady is an elder, and she has the most generous heart. Don't give birth to me." She's angry, she's like a child, what do you know."

"Isn't that the reason?" The old lady laughed: "She doesn't know what is good or bad as a child, and we as elders have to think about her, don't I really care about her?"

Meng Zhiwen also laughed along with him: "What you said is, don't be as knowledgeable as her. This little kid is so good today, and Yuechan also knows your painstaking efforts."

"It's good that she knows." The old lady glared at Meng Zhiwen: "You just go and tell her that you make the decision and let her marry."

Meng Zhiwen was stunned, and after a while, he said, "Mrs. Cai, my son can't decide this matter."

The old lady pulled her face and looked at Meng Zhiwen: "You are the head of the Meng family and her father, so why can't you be the master."

Meng Zhiwen lost his smile, and only had a calm face: "Old lady, although my son is not smooth in dealing with things and doesn't know how to be an official, he also knows that swinging from side to side is the most taboo in officialdom. The old lady's move is very bad. Let those two masters know, instead of saying that they don’t accept our favor, they will hate us instead.”

Meng Zhiwen was kind, and he was only thinking about the Meng family, but the old lady refused to listen, she patted the table and said, "That's enough, don't I understand? I didn't marry our two daughters into the royal family. It's Yuechan and the other is a girl from the Liu family, so what about the two masters? Besides, Yuechan is good-looking and has a good temper. If she really marries, she will be favored. When the time comes, the Fifth Prince will support you and Haoyu... "

Before the old lady finished speaking, Meng Zhiwen pulled his face down: "Don't say this again, old lady. The old lady has the face to say it, but the son has no face to listen to it. Our Meng family has a century-old reputation. It has been counted from the ancestors since the founding of the country. One counts as the other, they are all earning wealth through hard work. The men of the Meng family work so hard to earn their own wealth. She said she had a clear conscience, and never complained about others. She had traded her own daughter for fame, not to mention me, even Haoyu was unwilling to follow nepotism to climb up. Don't talk any more."

After Meng Zhiwen finished speaking, he glanced at the old lady with a disapproving expression on his face, and said again before the old lady wanted to speak: "Yuechan is my daughter, and I am not very capable as a father, so I can't give it to you. She is so honored, but I also try my best to think about it. I always find a good marriage for her. As long as Yuechan lives well in the future and lives happily, I will be happy. I never thought about what to do to her. I am only looking for a man who is talented, educated, upright, and can treat Yuechan kindly. I don’t want my daughter to be a concubine. The old lady thinks clearly, the royal concubine is also a concubine, why did the old lady ever I have seen my son treat the families of those aunts kindly, this reason is here, the old lady should think about it."

Although Meng Zhiwen is filial, he is not a soft-hearted person. He has the lofty bearing of a literati in his bones. He doesn't bother to seek profit, and he is not willing to trade his daughter for profit. Those who climb naturally do not agree with the old lady's words.

After finishing speaking, Meng Zhiwen was also angry, but the old lady was his mother after all, so she still had to be courteous. He just bowed and said that he still had something to do, so he left.

As soon as he left, the old lady gasped for breath and almost fainted, so she called Jing Jing and said, "Hurry up and bring that tea, I'll take a sip."
