"You really shouldn't give in easily." Meng Guiyu himself didn't feel much humiliation. Is that because he had protected his younger brothers and sisters from wind and rain over the years? He had suffered too many grievances and had seen so many humiliations that he had already developed a habit of Because of his tolerant nature, although the girl Empress Dowager Meng chose for him that time, from her family background to her appearance and temperament, was in line with his current requirements, after all, Mrs. hint.
It can be said that it is completely useless!
Since he has never gained anything, there is nothing to lose, so he said calmly at this moment, "No matter what, my aunt opened the mouth for him. When I see my eldest aunt again, why don't I ask her for all the benefits before nodding?"
"How can you exchange something like that for something good?!" However, Meng Guihan, who grew up in his shelter, didn't have the same level of civility and self-cultivation as him. Hearing this, he stomped his feet and said with a red face, "Although he is very I know the specific situation of Miss Sheng San, but my aunt has been very fond of Sixth Brother and me recently. How many times have Miss Sheng and San Miss been in the palace together? Tomorrow, if I can’t grant my request, my aunt will be instigated by her eldest aunt to treat the Sheng family as her own. The real culprit in the incident in Bishui County - under such circumstances, Dong actually turned around and wanted to match her up with me. This shows that the girl Qiu Mo has an outstanding character, Qiu Mo's family background is quite suitable for our family, and Qiu Mo has both! "
"Sixth brother, I am already twenty-five now. If it is already the end of the year, I will be twenty-six in the new year! At that age, people get married early, and the children are almost ready to get married. Sixth brother doesn't even know anyone around him. There is no one who knows the heat - it’s rare that my aunt can tell me a suitable one, how can I do it?!”
Meng Guihan's eyes turned red when he talked about the emotional point. He lifted his robe and knelt down, pleading, "Brother Six, I have done enough for their three unsatisfactory younger brothers and sisters over the years! They really can't do it." Watch me continue to sacrifice for them! Even if he begs me, I won’t compromise that time! Even if it offends the eldest aunt, we are Meng’s flesh and blood after all. He doesn’t believe that the fourteenth sister will deny that. Things will happen in the next month and they will be punished with death! At most, they will ignore and suppress us like before!"
"Can we have such a confinement period when we were so young? Now that they are adults, what difficulties are there that we can't overcome?"
"Sixth brother has worked hard to understand. If he can't think about himself even once, wouldn't those younger brothers and sisters be worse than pigs and dogs?!"
"He can just take whatever he wants as his betrothal gift. If the woman looks down on him because of this, it will probably break up. Why should a man worry about not having a wife?! As for the eleventh sister..."
Meng Guihuan glared at him fiercely, stood up and knelt to the east, and said aggrievedly: "He said in the palace that his dowry does not need to be too much..."
"..." Looking at the pair of younger brothers and sisters kneeling in front of him, Meng Guiyu pursed his lips, with various expressions in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed and said, "How can a marriage be a trivial matter? If we beg him like that now, one Do you feel sorry for him? If you don't say no, you will be angry with your eldest aunt! But have we thought about it? What if Miss Sheng San, although she is really like her aunt, is not a good person, but she and he don't feel sorry for each other? Then why would he marry her just because of the conflict of feelings?"
"That would not only offend my eldest aunt, but also harm Miss Sheng San for the rest of her life?!"
He looked at Meng Guihuan and said, "To compare with others, does Miss Sheng San have an older brother? We are talking about Sheng Suihe, who graduated from high school at a young age and is about to win the top prize in the apricot rankings. If we know whether he is out of spite." How would he feel if he just married his sister-in-law because he didn’t really admire her? He didn’t want his sister to be mistreated by her husband’s family, so even if there was no retribution in the world, he would not mistreat others. Daughter or sister!”
Sighing, he looked at Meng Guihan again and said earnestly, "Me too! If you don't want to marry me, ask for someone you agree with. If you marry someone, treat them well - otherwise, what if our sisters are here? My husband’s family has been wronged, how can we have the face to stand up for them?!”
Meng Guihan was startled when he was asked, but then he realized that it was because Meng Guiyu didn't want to violate the excuse given by his wife, so he immediately insisted: "Sixth brother has just had a look with Miss Sheng San. , we have never gotten along at all, so how do you know that we are not in love?! As the saying goes, marriage is tied by a thread, so Aunt Mingyue recommended Miss Sheng San to me, and we met right away. Maybe I am destined to be Sixth Brother. If you miss the fate of Yuehou, will you regret it for the rest of your life?"
Seeing that Meng Guiyu was pleading for something to say, he simply knocked his head to the ground and said fiercely, "If Sixth Brother didn't listen to him that time, then he would have knelt there and never gotten up!!!"
When Meng Guihan from the Chongxin residence was urging Meng Guiyu, in the Sheng family's house a few streets away, Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao were analyzing in detail: "The King of Gaomi and the Meng family have been on the wrong side of chess for many years. It's hard to tell the winner. Although our grandfather has been disarmed and returned to his fields for many years, and the Xu family who were friends with our grandfather have also been excluded from the army for some years, the impact on Northern Xinjiang is actually minimal. But things are unpredictable, and now the Queen Mother and the Emperor are both in their old age , and Feng Ti Yu Ti always violates the rules. At that time, regardless of whether Meng is the King of Gaomi, the person in charge is trying to be safe, and people like us are definitely more inclined to win over than to suppress. "
"After all, the Meng family has a son named Meng Boheng. Even if he lives in a large house, there are two brothers, the eldest son Zheng Guogong and the tenth son Meng. Duke Zheng Guogong has no shortage of sons, and the Meng family has two, three, and four bedrooms. He lacks nephews or cousins. The Meng family will avenge him, but will not ignore him and ignore the overall situation - then Meng Guiyu and Meng Boheng are cousins across the room. The four families of the Meng family lived in a very poor life. It can be seen that Meng Guiyu and Meng Boheng were living in poverty. The relationship between Gui Yu and Meng Boheng will not be too deep, as this will jeopardize the future of the entire Meng family. Of course Meng Guiyu would rather persuade the Queen Mother to calm down, Madam Youxiang!"
"Anyway, I hope they win initially and then thoroughly investigate the matter in Bishui County."
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao felt relieved again, and said worriedly: "Then what will happen when the time comes?"
"It's okay." Sheng Suihe's eyes flashed and he comforted with a smile, "We haven't found out now, let alone in the future? Besides, it can be inferred from the dispute between the Meng sisters that Zheng Guogong has the intention of doting on his concubines and destroying his wives. , otherwise Meng Shishi, a concubine An, would dare to be so arrogant in Xinshou Palace?!"
"As for whether Meng Boheng is the biological son of the madam, it will be known by the mother himself. He probably does not have much status in the mind of Zheng Guogong."
"The reason why the Meng family goes to war for him is not so much to say that they don't value him, but to say no to protect the face of the entire Meng family."
"The only people who are really going to get to the bottom of what happened to Meng Boheng are the entire Meng family, Mrs. Xiang and Miss Meng Shisi, mother and daughter! Even if Empress Dowager Meng has so many nephews, even if Mrs. Xiang and her daughter are wrong about Meng Boheng, I look at her a little differently, but I guess she doesn't care much about it. Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother be in the mood to talk and laugh with us and be so kind during the two times I went to the palace to see her?"
"So let's take advantage of Aunt Jiaoyu to wrongly pay the mother and daughter. The rest of the Meng family may not be willing to reverse Meng Boheng's case many years later!"
Sheng Weiqiao sighed: "Mrs. Xiang is at least Mrs. Zheng Guo, and Meng Shishi is also very fond of the Queen Mother. Could it be that those two people are in a wrong relationship?"
If the payment had been made by mistake, it is estimated that the aunt named "Jiao Yu" in Duke Zheng's mansion would have gotten rid of the mother and daughter who were blocking the way!
She didn't have any good ideas in her eyes. She felt that it would be fruitless to talk about it again. It would be better to just ignore what happened in recent months. Continuing to pester her would only increase her troubles in vain.
So I calmed down and returned to Meng Guiyu's brother and sister: "What's the purpose of Bu Sheng and the others? After all, they will help us tomorrow. The thank you gift is definitely not what I asked for. I asked for that." what to do?"
"I'll send a message to Uncle Chongxin's Mansion tomorrow to see if they can accommodate us for a visit. Then it will be better to reduce the gift by four or five compared to going to Uncle Tu Shi's house next time." Sheng Suihe thought for a while and said , "No matter how much we say, if we don't say anything too blindly, it will show that we are guilty, and we may fall into the trap ourselves."
Sheng Weiqiao knew that his considerations in that aspect were far less than his, so he nodded after hearing this: "Then let's do that!"
When she said that, she glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the room and saw that it was almost time for dinner. She was asking for advice to go and have dinner first. Unexpectedly, footsteps came from outside at that time, followed by Lu Jin's voice: "Young Master, Miss: Someone is coming from the Ningwei Hou Mansion!"
"Huh?" Sheng Weiqiao said "please" after hearing this, but Sheng Suihe raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Aunt Nan came here specially to accompany us into the palace tomorrow morning, but because of Mrs. Xiang's visit, she The people from Baoyuan stopped me. According to that aunt's behavior, even if she didn't wait at the palace gate, she should have inquired about the time of our leaving the palace and waited outside to ask if everything was going well before resting her mind. The wanderer would have simply come to the house. Waiting for news here..."
"But there was no news about her as soon as she left. Even if she couldn't accompany us to the palace, why don't we just come and tell him-could it be that something urgent happened in the Hou Mansion and she had to be here?"
After being reminded like this, Sheng Weiqiao also felt that something might happen in Ning Weihou's mansion, so he stood up and said in awe, "Let's go and have a look!"
After a while, they arrived at the main hall, and when they saw the person sent by Ningwei Hou Mansion standing with his legs slouched in the east, they knew that Sheng Suihe's guess was probably wrong: the person who came was Chen Sha, Nan's and the eldest maid from Chonching. She doesn't need to run errands for ordinary things.
Seeing the Sheng brothers and sisters coming over, Chensha went to greet Zailai Wanfu as a gift: "Hello, Mr. Sheng! Hello, Miss Sheng San!"
As Sheng Suihe led Sheng Weiqiao towards the front and sat down, he nodded to her and said, "No need to be polite! At that time, my aunt sent me over to see if there was something urgent, so I'll just tell you!"
Seeing that he was so happy, Chensha said straightforwardly without further ado: "There's a letter from the south—their old marquis has already packed up and left, and came to Chang'an in person!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane: “………………”
I just know if the entire Xu family is a disaster, okay? !
Sure enough, after finally moving out of Ningwei Hou Mansion, and finally cutting off every inch of cocoa between Guai Nannan and Xu Baomo, the old guy from the Xu family actually asked to roll up his sleeves in person again! ! !
For such an old person, shouldn’t he ask for some face? !
Very old Mr. Hou!
Will I not be able to marry my granddaughter-in-law for eight lifetimes
Do you have to compete with me? !
How old is that old guy
It’s fun to travel thousands of miles away to help your descendants? !
It's not like that kind of northwest wind whistling from north to south across the sky with heavy snow flying across most of the Mushan River!
To put it bluntly: Is he afraid that something might happen to an old man who is too old to endure it, so he asks Xu Baomo to hold a funeral before his only grandson’s wedding? !
Sheng Suihe roared in his heart, and Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but hold his head: after Sheng Suihe's efforts to instigate and alienate, she now really has no idea about Xu Baomo!
What if Mr. Xu comes over and continues to pester... What should we do? !
In fact, although the two brothers and sisters were complaining in their hearts and were very polite in front of them, in Ningweihou's mansion, they had a complete falling out like a boiling pot since they received the letter from home. !
