Meng Ranxi was originally worried that Ning Zhan was the son of a military commander, and the two could not talk about it. As a result, it was discovered that Ning Zhan was also very knowledgeable, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. This chat lasted more than an hour.
Xiao and Ruhui went home after dinner. The two waited for news at home, only to wait until dark before Ning Zhan came back.
"How did you make it so late?"
Ning Zhan smiled and said, "Meng Ranxi was drunk, and I took him home."
Xiao felt that Ning Zhan was too impotent, how could he get drunk when they first met.
Looking at a person's character through playing chess and drinking, Ning Zhan only wanted to get Meng Ranxi drunk. Meng Ranxi's wine was good, not only did he not drink crazy, he did not even talk nonsense, so he went to bed on the table when he was drunk.
Ruhui asked suddenly: "Then he snoring?"
Ning Zhan smiled: "No." In fact, Meng Ranxi didn't drink before, and this time he had to drink in front of Ning Zhan. Even if he takes two sips every time, he can't stand it many times.
Xiao asked: "Are you really so optimistic about this Meng Ranxi?" In terms of personal conditions, this Meng Ranxi really has nothing to fault. But as long as he thinks of his father, Xiao feels very sad.
"I think he is quite good. But this matter mainly depends on the meaning of the second sister." It is Ruhui who wants to marry, and her opinion is the most important.
Ruhui said: "I also think he is good, at least better than Gu Pengyu and Chen Zichen." Gu Pengyu is very proud, and a young talented person can understand it. But Meng Ranxi's conditions were not worse than him, he didn't have the slightest arrogance and calmness that his peers didn't have. This is the gap.
Xiao received a violent blow.
When Mrs. Meng knew about this, she asked Meng Shilang: "It's fine for the uncle Anyang to invite Ranxi to dinner, so how come he gets him drunk?"
Shilang Meng said with a smile: "Lan Xi is also old, and she should learn to drink. Otherwise, she will get drunk as soon as she gets drunk, and she will go out to socialize in the future."
Mrs. Meng scolded with a smile: "Give me a bewildered eye! Come on, what's the matter?"
Meng Xuemin didn't sell the gates again this time, and said, "Please ask someone you can trust to pass on to Ning's family."
Yesterday, Meng Xuemin asked, although Mrs. Meng Lao said about Ruhui's situation, she didn't think much about it. It is true that Ruhui's conditions are very good. Although Meng Ranxi's personal conditions are excellent, his parents are holding back, and the Ning family do not look good.
Hearing this, Mrs. Meng was stunned and said: "Did you make a mistake? What Mrs. Anyang Bo showed to the second girl is a young talent with a harmonious family with both parents."
"It's not Mrs. Anyang Bo who is in favor, but Anyang Bo's son." The view of men is different from that of women. Men pay more attention to character and ability, as well as a sense of responsibility.
Mrs. Meng hesitated: "Will Mrs. An Yang agree?"
Meng Xuemin smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Anyang Boss can be the master of the Anyang Boss House. After passing his test, this marriage is almost impossible."
Mrs. Meng Lao said: "Well, I will ask someone to check Mrs. Ning's attitude tomorrow." If the Ning family really agrees with the marriage, please ask the matchmaker to come and propose the marriage. If you don't agree, just treat it as nothing!
The middleman quickly replied to Mrs. Meng, saying that the Ning family agreed.
Mrs. Meng was overjoyed and immediately invited the official media to the Ning family to propose marriage. Xiao was not reserved, so he readily agreed. The matchmaker's thank you for the matchmaking gift, don't take it too easily.
The two exchanged Geng Tie, and Meng Ranxi told the Lans about his appointment.
Lans grabbed Meng Ranxi's hand and asked, "Whose girl is yours?" Although he trusted his in-laws, he was still uneasy when he had never seen each other.
Meng Ranxi said with a smile: "It's the second girl from Anyang Bofu. My grandmother told me that these two girls are smart and capable, and they have organized Anyang Bofu at a young age."
The high door marries the wife, the low door marries the daughter. Lan's heart hoped that he Meng Ranxi would marry a noble girl, but now he is worried that his daughter-in-law has a too good family background and is too capable of being a son: "Xie'er, have you seen the second girl from the Ning family?"
"No. But Uncle Anyang has seen him, he is a gentleman. Mother, don't worry, my grandmother said that the second girl of the Ning family is a reasonable and generous person." He added generosity.
In fact, Ruhui is very sturdy, and he is not worried about this. Only useless men are afraid that their daughter-in-law is too powerful. Just say that the queen is fine, there is no woman more sturdy than the queen in this world. But the emperor didn't care, because he himself was very powerful, so he could be as affectionate as the queen.
Lan Shi was relieved after hearing this.
Both families were interested, and the marriage was soon settled. What Meng Ranxi didn't expect was that his marriage would definitely come down, and Lan's condition would worsen.
Meng Ranxi was very sad looking at the Lan family who had fallen into a coma. It's just that he is not a doctor, and can't do anything except stay by the bedside every day.
The Lan family woke up in the middle of the night, and he took Meng Ranxi's hand and said, "Xie'er, don't worry, my mother won't leave so quickly. My mother hasn't seen you marrying a wife and having children!"
Not to mention Ruhui's marriage next year, even if Ruyi's marriage is scheduled for next year. However, there are rules in Beijing that you cannot marry two daughters within one year. Therefore, if you want to marry Ruhui in advance, don't think about it.
Meng Ranxi said with red eyes, "Mother, you will get better soon." Even if Lan's has been sick all day long, he still has a child whose mother hurts.
When Xiao heard that Ning's illness was getting worse, he said to Ning Zhan with some worry: "A Zhan, will the Meng family put the second wife Meng's illness on your second sister's head?" What can I do about this
"Mother, you worry too much. The second lady of the Meng family was originally at the end of the fight, so what to do with the second sister." This matter can only be said to be a coincidence.
Fortunately, within two days, they heard that Lan's condition had improved. After Xiao knew about it, he brought medicinal materials to visit.
After coming back, Xiao's expression was sighed: "Ruhui, your mother-in-law may not be able to stand it for long."
"Mother, why do you say that?"
Xiao said: "She coughed up blood, and I heard that she had coughed up for a few months." Once coughing up blood, it proves that this person will die soon. Lan's survival to the present is completely hanging from ginseng.
After more than a month, the Meng family sent an obituary.
Xiao clan was shocked when he heard the steward's words: "The second master of the Meng family is gone? Did you make a mistake?" The last time I saw Lan clan, he knew that he would not live long. So when she heard that someone in the Meng family had disappeared, she thought it was because of the death of Lan's disease.
The steward respectfully said: "Madam, there can be no mistake. The obituary is very clear, and the second master of the Meng family is gone." No matter how hard it is, this obituary cannot be written wrong.
Xiao hurriedly called Ruhui over and told her about the matter. Master Meng Er is Ruhui's future father-in-law, and now she can no longer wear red and green within three months of her death.
After Ruhui knew about this, he called Zhong Shantong: "Uncle Zhong, you send someone to investigate and see how the second master Meng is missing." It feels strange that the second master Meng died.
Zhong Shantong's work efficiency is still very high, and he replied to Ruhui that night.
Master Meng Er is in good health and can eat two bowls of rice and one bowl of wine every day. However, he went to collect rent a few days ago, not knowing why the horse went crazy and dumped him off the horse. Carry it home, and it's out of breath.
Xiao said anxiously: "Ruhui, you just had an accident with Ran Xi, the second master of the Meng family. Would you say that someone said you were the one who killed you?"
Ruhui said amusedly: "I only heard of Koff’s, but never heard of K’s in-laws. Besides, I haven’t even crossed the door yet! What is their business to me? If the Meng family is so unreasonable, the marriage will be retired earlier. Better."
Xiao was very angry: "Can you just say anything about retiring? In your heart, marriage is a child's play?"
Ruhui consciously made a mistake and did not dare to say anything.
Mrs. Meng Er passed away, and Mrs. Meng was heartbroken. Even if this son doesn't stand up anymore, he crawled out of her belly. Nowadays, if you want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, Mrs. Meng has been crying hard for these two days.
Shilang Meng looked at him like this, sighed and said, "People are gone, it's useless for you to be sad, just want to start!" This son is here to collect debts. For this wicked obstacle, I don't know how many people have been criticized in the Meng family secretly over the years. Shi Lang Meng feels very upset every time he mentions this evil obstacle.
Mrs. Meng asked: "Old lady, don't you go to see your son for the last time?"
Shilang Meng didn't want to go back: "You just go." What is he going to do? It only adds to the sorrow.
Mrs. Meng said: "Lan is like this, and Ranxi can't worry about going back to the funeral. Master, what do you think about this?" The doctor said that the Lan can't survive for a few days, so why would it take a month to go back to the funeral this time. If the Lans were gone during this time, Meng Ranxi would definitely be uncomfortable not being able to stay by his side.
"This is also no way." If the Lan family passed away during this time and couldn't let his grandson send the last ride, that would be her life.
Mrs. Meng's intention was to let Ruhui come over and wait for the Lan clan. Although she didn't go through the door, she didn't have to worry about letting her accompany the Lan family because she had already made a marriage appointment.
Shilang Meng said with a black face, "Are you always confused? The Ning family asked her to wait for her disease before she passed the door. The Ning family knows what they would think?"
Mrs. Meng said quietly: "I don't feel sorry for Meng Ranxi!"
Shilang Meng was so angry that he said, "Do you feel bad about Ranxi? If you want to do this, you would have hurt Ranxi. This marriage was originally Meng Ranxi's high climb, and now the second child has passed away, and the second daughter-in-law does not have many days. Ran Xi has to observe filial piety for six years. If you make such an unreasonable request, the Ning family can take the opportunity to retire."
Mrs. Meng's attention quickly shifted: "What are you talking about? Ranxi is going to keep filial piety for six years?"
"In the future, if Ranxi wants to pursue an official career, she must not fall into the limelight. Six years of filial piety must be fulfilled." Fortunately, she will be married. If otherwise, her grandchildren will be twenty-three. At such a young age, it is difficult to say a satisfactory marriage.
Mrs. Meng was really worried now: "Will the second girl of the Ning family wait?" Six years! Six years later, the second girl of the Ning family is an old girl.
Shilang Meng said, "I should wait. The second girl from the Ning family is not too old now. When Ranxi finishes her filial piety, she will just get married."
Mrs. Meng felt calm after hearing this.
