Seeing that she couldn't listen, Mrs. Meng shook her head and sighed: "Forget it, I think you can't listen to this girl now, and I'll deal with it later."
It seems that she has to work hard on Sheng Jiayan, the old lady Meng thinks.
It's not that she disapproves of Sheng Jiayan marrying Qiqi, but Meng Qiqi is her most precious granddaughter after all. Sheng Jiayan is such a background identity, even if he is now in the Meng family's genealogy, in the heart of the emperor, he still has the surname Sheng. When the old case of the Sheng family is brought up again, Sheng Jiayan is afraid that he will still suffer, and the old lady Meng is reluctant to let Meng Eqi go into this troubled water. It's just that now she has no choice. Seeing that her health is getting worse and worse, when she returns for a hundred years, there will always be someone to protect Meng Eqi.
After all, the emperor is in the palace, and it is difficult for honest officials to cut off housework, let alone the emperor? In Meng's mansion, now the big room has to be separated out by himself sooner or later, and the second room is empty. Meng Zhihuai and his wife in the third room have been hit hard by Meng Yizhen's incident. . The old lady Meng knew that Sheng Jiayan would be able to take on great responsibilities in the future, but there were countless risks behind him. This made it difficult for Mrs. Meng to decide for a while, so she could only give up temporarily and discuss it later.
The days slid from time to the ground like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of autumn, just in time for Meng Yihui's wedding. The Qin family had already sent someone to send a betrothal gift. Meng Yihui had a second brother, Xie Yuan, and another to Princess Yi, her third sister. Her wedding process was even helped by the imperial court. Arranged layer by layer through the court's Ministry of Rites, the momentum was grand and grand. The Qin family carried the betrothal gift, and the black armored soldiers carried a large box and came to the Meng residence in a mighty manner.
Such a special appointment ceremony was the first time in this dynasty.
Before Meng Yihui got married, Meng Eqi went to her room with a gift box. It happened that the first lady, Mrs. Yu, was holding the hands of her two daughters, and Meng Yihui and Meng Yilian both blushed.
Seeing Meng Qiqi coming, Mrs Yu smiled and said, "Qiqi is here, come and sit down."
Meng Eqi secretly felt that she came at the wrong time. What does the aunt seem to be explaining? So she handed over the gift box and said, "I know the eldest sister is getting married tomorrow, so I'm here to congratulate you. Inside this gift box is a pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks. I wish the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law a harmonious and beautiful after marriage. Presumably the eldest aunt has a lot to say. With eldest sister, then Qiqi will leave first."
Yu stopped her and smiled: "Good boy, you have a heart. Auntie has nothing to do with your sister. Since you are here, let's listen to it together. After all, you will be married in the future."
So Meng Eqi walked over, climbed onto the Arhat bed, and the three sisters gathered in front of the first lady, Mrs. Yu, to listen to her.
Yu stepped forward to hold Meng Yihui's hand and took her to the couch to sit down, then sighed: "Hui'er my daughter, when you returned, mother hoped that you would grow up as soon as possible to be a good man, and in this life It's really complete; now in the blink of an eye, you really want to become someone else's family, but my mother's heart seems to be hollowed out..." As he spoke, the circles of his eyes were slightly red.
Meng Yihui felt sore in her chest after being caught by her mother, and bowed her head silently.
Meng Yilian said, "Don't worry, big sister. After you get married, I will take good care of your mother for you."
Yu nodded, and then said: "Mother knows that the son of the Qin family is not your ideal husband, but this is the end of the matter, so let's take a closer look. Qin Yue's net worth background is good, and mother can see that he also attaches great importance to you. This is the rules that a proper wife should have, and he is no different. Second, your second brother Yan Ge'er is now a bachelor in the cabinet, your elder brother Tingsi has also become a civil official in the court, and your third sister is here again. Princess Yi, our Meng family gave you a lot of dowry, so you can be considered a beautiful marriage. When you arrive at the Qin family, you will not be wronged. Mother is a past person. Qin Yue is honest and honest. After marriage, you will manage the family for him and get along slowly. When you come down, you will find the other party’s good.”
Meng Yihui knew that her mother was worried that she was still thinking about Mr. Qi, but with the fourth sister in front of her, how could she dare to think about such troubles. Although she felt that Qin Yue was a little frivolous in the end, she was responsible for getting married, and she would definitely not make trouble for the people in Meng's house to worry about her. So she said, "Don't worry, mother, Hui'er knows all this."
Meng Qiqi patted her chest and assured: "Brother Qin is my Uncle Chi's nephew. If he bullies you after marriage, Uncle Chi will definitely take care of him!"
A few people were amused. Meng Yihui hugged her two sisters from left to right, and suddenly burst into tears: "I really don't want to be separated from my sisters. If Zhener is still here, she will come to congratulate me."
Meng Qiqi also sighed: "Eldest sister, it's your big day, so don't say these words again. Don't cry, your eyes are swollen, how will you get on the sedan chair tomorrow?"
Yu's eldest daughter has always felt that her eldest daughter is stable like an adult in recent years. Today, she is about to marry someone else's wife. Instead, she seems to be a lot. When she thinks of her, she can't help but comfort a few words. After a few people's emotions had calmed down, they smiled and said, "Hui'er, you are going to get married tomorrow. You must know about some men's family matters, so that you don't get dark eyes when you get to the bridal chamber." The box that was just brought on the side.
Meng Yihui and Meng Yilian's faces were slightly hot. Meng Yihui already knew what she was going to do with her, her cheeks were slightly red and she lowered her head. Only Meng Eqi widened her eyes and waited curiously.
Yu Shi laughed and said in a low voice: "Silly girl, girls' families always have to pass this level. Mother is afraid that you will be afraid tomorrow night, so I will let you know first. This is the man's family and the woman's family. There is also a booklet under the box, the affairs of men and women, all of which are detailed in it, you close the door at night to see it yourself." Seeing that her daughter's face was already flushed, she smiled and closed the box and stuffed it. under the pillow behind her.
Meng Qiqi hadn't seen what it was yet, so she stretched her head out of curiosity: "What is it! Auntie, show it to me."
Yu's hand reached out and tapped her forehead lightly: "Silly girl! Don't read this. When you are about to get married in the future, the aunt will teach you."
At this time, Sheng Jiayan had just returned to his own yard, when Bai Gao followed from behind and said, "The princess is not in the room, and the person who is waiting has gone to the eldest lady's place."
Sheng Jiayan responded lightly. No wonder he didn't see Meng Eqi rushing over when he came home today, he was just joining in the fun.
He entered the room, and as soon as he took off his outer clothes, a slender figure greeted him and took the clothes in his hand.
Sheng Jiayan frowned slightly. He was never used to women serving up close, but now a person suddenly appeared in the room, and he looked up at the woman in front of him. I remembered that it was one of the two maids sent by the eldest Madam Yu a while ago, called Huahong.
Seeing Sheng Jiayan looking at himself, Huahong couldn't help but blush and heartbeat. Sheng Jiayan is now a young talent and Jie Yuan, and his appearance is so handsome. Which sister in the middle of Beijing doesn't want to marry him now? Of course, as a popular artist, it is simply whimsical to want to marry Sheng Jiayan. Huahong knows this truth in her heart, but she still hopes to be a maid. If she has the opportunity to lift her aunt in the future, good days will follow. Wouldn't it be great to have a son and a half daughter again
Sheng Jiayan looked at the air of the end of autumn, and was wearing a bean-green gauze skirt in summer. Her frozen fingertips were red and her face was embarrassed. He knew that she had dressed up deliberately, but Sheng Jiayan's face was still pale, like the white snow piled up on the mountains.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Huahong wanted to take the initiative to attack, and when he turned his eyes on him, he saw Sheng Jiayan's suet jade pendant hanging on his waist. It is still in the shape of a Pixiu, and I have observed it many times. Sheng Jiayan wears this jade pendant almost every day. It must be a favorite thing. It is always right to praise it.
So he said: "Second Young Master, this jade pendant is exquisitely carved. I wonder if the slaves have this opportunity to look at it."
"Do you want to see it?" Sheng Jiayan asked lightly.
Huahong wanted to nod her head, but she was stunned when she touched Sheng Jiayan's expression. Why do you think the second young master's expression is weird and creepy
Before she could respond, Sheng Jiayan spoke again: "It is said that Pixiu feeds on wealth from all directions, swallowing everything without shedding it, but it can attract wealth and treasures, but it can't get in. I really want to see it. After the court is blocked, can you really swallow everything without venting? If you want to see, I will let you try it yourself, so that you can understand clearly. "
Huahong's face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly knelt down: "My servants dare not! I beg the young master for mercy!"
Sheng Jiayan was unmoved, and his expression was cold: "I will give you two choices now, one is that I will let someone make you a 'human-shaped Pixiu', and the other is that you find a fault yourself, I will give you some silver taels, Don't go back to Meng Mansion from now on."
Huahong's body trembled, and tears fell down her cheeks. She didn't know where she had provoked Sheng Jiayan, so she could only kowtow heavily: "The slave girl accidentally destroyed the two books of the second young master today, and is willing to be sold out of the house, please convict the young master."
Sheng Jiayan nodded, knowing that she chose the latter, so he said, "Go on, Bai Gao will arrange the next thing for you."
Huahong stood up tremblingly and walked out the door. She still can't imagine that the second young master, who usually looks handsome and quiet, is actually such a terrifying person in his bones. A humanoid Pixiu... He actually figured he could do it...
After Huahong left, A Rong came out of the inner room, and Sheng Jiayan was already sitting behind the case looking at the daily expenses of Meng House.
A Rong handed the hot tea and said, "Young master can't call back the person sent by the eldest lady, so I can only use this method, which is also considered cheap."
Sheng Jiayan didn't raise his eyebrows: "Just scare her, otherwise if you really make a Pixiu, the first one to be afraid will be Qiqi."
A Rong smiled, noncommittal.
