Faced with Mrs. Xiang's confused expression, Meng Bijun sighed and looked at her with an expression of hatred: "Not to mention that you have already annoyed your father, and you will definitely leave a bad impression in front of your aunt when you look back. Let's just say that you are a bad person today. Who do you think you can hide from me by sneaking up to see me?! Daddy, aunt, or the third brother far away in northern Xinjiang?!"
After exhaling, Meng Bijun said with clear fatigue in her tone, "For this reason, Meng Si'an won't be able to move for a short time! Not only can't he move, you'd better be nice to him! Even, take the initiative to admit your mistake in front of dad, I promise to put down my grudges and treat him kindly from now on!"
Seeing Mrs. Xiang's eyebrows raised and a look of disapproval on her face, she was about to speak out. Meng Bijun raised her voice slightly and interrupted first, "Is now the time to be willful!? You don't even think about it, what do we three have? ! If my aunt hadn’t taken pity on me and my third brother had taken care of me and given us this chance to turn over, we would have been living tremblingly under the oppression of Jiaoyu and the others! It’s only been a few days since Jiaoyu and Meng Lijiang died, and you Have you forgotten all about the previous situation?! Brother Bage is still in Bishui County and can't come back. I just became the successor. Don't you know how much the emperor loves the Shu sisters?! The life and death of your son is uncertain, and the future of your daughter is uncertain. You... As a mother, do you still care about such small things?!"
"Are you my mother?!"
"...Then let it be like this!" Mrs. Xiang blushed when she was questioned, and reluctantly squeezed out such a sentence, but finally added, "It's only for a short time! After a while, when your father calms down, then Little beast... I'm going to give him a hard time!"
Meng Bijun was too lazy to pay attention to these words, and only asked in a slow tone: "Is there anything else? If not, you should go back quickly! I will go back home tomorrow, and there are so many people to deal with. You didn't sleep well at night, so you can hold on. I may not be able to hold on!"
"Originally no, but when you mentioned your brother, I thought of one more thing!" Mrs. Xiang said hurriedly after hearing this, "That is, although your brother is seriously injured, he is still alive. He is also this age. This marriage …”
Meng Bijun narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile: "It is precisely because Bage was seriously injured that he is still recovering in Bishui County and cannot move... Mother actually still cares about his marriage. This is already seen Have you chosen the chosen one? And if you don’t act quickly, the chosen one will be robbed?”
Mrs. Xiang heard the ridicule in her daughter's tone and thought that Meng Bijun was dissatisfied that she was not most concerned about Meng Boheng's health. Instead, she was worried about her daughter-in-law, so she said: "He is staying in Bishui County. This is so far away." , I can’t rush over to take care of him personally! No, I can only worry about his marriage now! After all, he is already twenty. If it weren’t for those thieves who killed a thousand swords, I could give him everything right now Getting ready for the crowning ceremony... Alas!"
Sighing, she continued, "Because he was seriously injured, I think it would be better for him to get married immediately after he comes back! Maybe he will be happy and heal better? Even if the daughter-in-law is not like this He's lucky, at least there is someone who will take care of him wholeheartedly, so I can rest assured!"
Meng Bijun asked calmly: "Then who do you like? Are you going to do it in such a hurry?"
"Who else could it be?" Mrs. Xiang hesitated for a while before saying, "Isn't it the Sheng Weiqiao from Nanfeng County?"
She didn't notice that after hearing this, Meng Bijun's eyes instantly froze, and he continued chattering, "I'm satisfied with Sheng Weiqiao's appearance, her family's wealth, and her age. But when it comes to status. , but it’s really a bit low! Moreover, I’ve been in Chang’an for a few months, but I’m still unknown, and my ability to socialize in this scene is obviously not that good!”
"This is so far behind County Master Jingshu!"
"The Lord of Jingshu County came all the way from Bishui County to Chang'an. She has only been here for less than a month, and she has already distinguished herself at the gathering of noble ladies with her talent and learning!"
"It's not like this Sheng Weiqiao. The Queen Mother is so flattering. Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang even helped her ask for your birthday banquet post. But now, she is just an ordinary lady... not on the stage!"
"But it's no wonder. After all, County Princess Jingshu is the direct granddaughter of Duke Huan, and the direct descendant of the elders of the two dynasties. How can the Sheng family's little heritage be compared?"
"Gong Huan's reputation for being honest in person is well known all over the world. I estimate that County Master Jingshu will not have much dowry! At least it will not be as much as Sheng Weiqiao."
"Furthermore, brother Sheng Weiqiao, I heard that he is very good in talent and learning. Is he likely to be successful in this spring?"
"But even if Sheng Suihe can be the top scorer in high school this time, which seems great to ordinary people, it is nothing to a family like ours! I miss your brother, he is the legitimate son of the Duke of the country and the nephew of the Queen Mother, especially for someone like you. The Queen’s direct brother!”
"The sister of the top scholar is not quite worthy of him after all... But because she is favored by the Sheng family, the Sheng family will not be stingy about this when she comes out of the cabinet in the future. If you go back and give her a reputation, we will tolerate it. stop!"
Quietly watching Mrs. Xiang say this with a critical look on her face, Meng Bijun suddenly laughed out loud and said: "Mom, you are willing to endure it, mainly because you feel that Miss Sheng San is not of high origin, even if Brother Ba is already a useless person, After becoming your daughter-in-law, I don’t have the confidence to resist you, so I can only let you do what you want me to do, right? On the other hand, County Master Jingshu, not only does the dowry not be much, but she is also such a well-rounded person, how can you handle it?! If Bage marries It’s County Master Jingshu. When the time comes, mother, don’t say you want to toss her, it’s better if you don’t let her toss you!”
At this point, without waiting for Madam to answer, the girl suddenly changed her face, slapped the gold-painted flower-and-bird begonia style incense table at her hand, and shouted sternly, "But!!!"
"Mom, have you forgotten?!"
"Miss Sheng San's aunt and nephew saved my life at the birthday party!!!"
"As for Bago's virtues, others don't know about it, but you and I don't know about it?!"
"He is a very good man. Let's talk about Miss Sheng San. If he randomly picks up a good boy from the street to be his first wife, I think he is ruining his good girl!"
"Not to mention what he is like now, you still want to get Miss Sheng San to marry him?!"
"I tell you!"
"Just give up on this idea!!!"
"Don't talk about Miss Sheng San, I would not talk about such a marriage even if you are a good lady or a decent mortal!!!"
"After all, Jiaoyu and her daughter are already examples of those who commit unjust acts and will die. I still want to build good virtues for myself in the future!"
"How can we call these aunts and nephews rescuing you?! They are just helping you back to Xiaoxuan from the cave!" Mrs. Xiang was stunned for a moment, then she snapped and shouted back angrily, "After you went to Xiaoxuan, you were still quiet. Lord Shu tried to mediate and let you wash up and change clothes! And you also said that although I can't compete with that bitch Jiaoyu for my mother's sake, I won the wrestling match at that birthday banquet!!! In this case, Nothing will happen to you in the first place, right?!"
"Even without them, would your third brother's people still be able to save you?!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She slapped the case again and said bitterly, "That's your brother! You are such a brother. How can you say that being his wife is a waste of other girls?! You do this!" My sister’s?!”
"Taking it a step back, even if Sheng Weiqiao saved you, how can a mere kindness be compared with that of your biological brother?! I think you are really lost! You thought you were going to be the queen, so you could ignore me as your biological mother. Isn’t it?!”
Meng Bijun looked at her expressionlessly and said coldly: "Anyway, if you want to trick Miss Sheng San, it's just a dream! I haven't had a few good days in my life, and I haven't encountered many heart-warming things, so I decided to do it a long time ago I swear, if someone treats me well, then I will treat that person twice as well! There is nothing negotiable about this matter. If you just say hell, if I say no, it won’t be okay!"
Knowing Mrs. Xiang's character, he added, "Don't even think about plotting against Miss Sheng San in private! I tell you, I am discussing with my aunt to get Miss Sheng San's aunt and nephew to marry Huan Ye. The same title of county lord! If my aunt knows that you dare to touch the county lord she canonized, you can try to see if the little emotion left by my aunt after helping you so many times over the years will continue to indulge you?!"
Then he sneered, "As for me, your biological daughter, will I care about your mother's life or death?!"
"You... how could you do this?!" Mrs. Xiang looked at her in disbelief, her whole body trembling slightly with anger, "I am your mother, and your brother is your brother! For the sake of an outsider, you actually... You actually do this to one of your own?! Is it popularly said that girls always turn their elbows outwards... You... You are like this too?!"
"Do I turn my elbows outward, or do you deserve to be treated like this? You know it yourself!" Meng Bijun turned to look at the copper leak in the corner of the hall, and urged impatiently, "Okay, you can go. ! Even if something happens, we’ll talk about it after I get back home tomorrow... If you don’t leave, I’ll go back to the dormitory directly!”
Mrs. Xiang bit her lower lip hard and smiled miserably: "I know! You... you just hate me for favoring your brother all these years, don't you?"
Seeing that Meng Bijun didn't speak, she seemed to have acquiesced. With tears in her eyes, she shouted, "But can you blame me?! You all know how arrogant Jiao Yu was back then! Who could have expected us three at that time?" The hope of getting ahead actually falls on you, a girl?! What I want to do is to train your brother well, whether he is studying or joining the army. In short, when he becomes successful, he may be valued by your father and your third brother. We Will the lives of the three mothers be much easier?"
"In this way, I will naturally spend more energy on him..."
It's just that she didn't say that, but she did. Meng Bijun, who had no expression at all, suddenly had a sarcastic smile on his lips: "Mom just now said that Miss Sheng San's concubine brother, even if he gets the number one scholar, he will not be as good as ordinary people." It looks great in the eyes, but in reality it’s nothing.”
"So, what use can Bago do to study?"
"What's more, how many days has he really studied?! In terms of talent and learning, I'm afraid that Meng Sian, who you keep calling him a 'little beast', is better than him even if he is only thirteen years old this year!!!"
"As for joining the army... He is already twenty years old, and he still doesn't do good things all the time because you keep him by your side?!"
"You said you wanted to cultivate him well..."
"He's like that. I know you're a typical 'loving mother but a loser' when you dote on this precious son. You've spoiled him rotten!"
"I don't know. I thought you were not my biological mother. Did you deliberately raise him to waste?"
Mrs. Xiang's expression changed when she was stung by these words, but Meng Bijun was not ready to let her go just yet, and continued, "Besides, you said I hate you because you favor him? You really look down on me!"
"I..." Mrs. Xiang wanted to say something else, but Meng Bijun didn't want to continue. She stood up and nodded to her: "I'm leaving, you can do whatever you want!"
After saying that, he ignored Mrs. Xiang's repeated calls, stood up, and turned neatly into the back hall.
