Ruhui's confinement eats well, and there is nothing to worry about, and there is plenty of milk. By the time of the full moon, Shiyin was raised white and fat. It is Mrs. Meng who is patriarchal, she likes it all.
There are ten tables for Shiyin's full moon banquet, all of whom are loved ones and have a particularly good relationship. Ruhui felt that the number of tables was too few, but the old lady had already made concessions. Even if she was dissatisfied, Ruhui could only bear it.
Although Xiao was not in the capital, the full moon gift for Shiyin had been prepared early. Two Yingluo collars, two red gold longevity gold locks, a pair of red gold bracelets, a pair of red gold anklets, six sets of clothes and socks.
When it came to the full moon feast, Ruhui put a red gold ring with rubies on Shiyin.
Meng Ranxi said, "This circle is bigger than a girl's head, so let's wait until the child is older before wearing it!" This circle is very valuable, but you don't need to show it off.
"Just let the children wear it for one day, and the people in the province will chew their tongues and say that my mother's family didn't prepare a full moon gift for Shiyin." The Xiao family treated the two girls the same, and the two Ruyi sons received the same gift.
Meng Ranxi said guiltily, "I have made you wronged." Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng began to say that the second room is a burden many years ago. Those who left off also watch what they are doing, and are very negligent to the people in the second room. Fortunately, he will study later, which is highly valued by his grandfather, and these talents are somewhat restrained. But I didn't expect that now I would even hurt his wife and children.
Ruhui said, "Msang-gong, it's not that I said that the aunt and the third aunt are too caressed about money." If Meng Ranxi spends time and drinks, they should be dissatisfied. But they are just normal expenses, and the two rooms are also like black eyes.
Lan's medicine costs a lot for many years, and Liangfang has long been dissatisfied with it. After the death of Lan's disease, the grievances accumulated have not disappeared. Meng Ranxi married another rich master like Ruhui. Unfortunately, they can't take advantage of it. New grudges and old grudges, naturally there will be more words.
Meng Ranxi said, "Don't worry about them. When I enter the official position, we will release it." When that happens, Ruhui and the children will not have to be angry.
In fact, just like Hui's temperament, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng didn't dare to provoke her. At most, the two of them murmured behind their backs. If you want to change your weakness, you have to be bullied to death.
After the full moon banquet, Ruhui devoted herself to taking the children. As for the housekeeper's errand, Grandma Meng didn't mention it, nor did she say it.
She was teasing Shiyin that day when she saw Grandma Meng coming over. The red eyes were obviously crying.
Ruhui hurriedly asked Mai Sui to hug Shiyin and said, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Grandma Meng knew that Ruhui's mouth was tight, and what she said to her would not be passed on.
Ruhui was not surprised to hear that Meng Guangpeng's concubine was pregnant. However, Ruhui likes the gentle and generous grandmother Meng: "Sister-in-law, if you don't hurry to the eldest brother's place, this child is just the beginning. Later children will be born one after another."
Grandma Meng's tears came again: "I want to go too, but my mother won't let it."
Ruhui rolled her eyes directly and said, "She won't let it, don't you want to have a son? Grandma likes great-grandchildren so much, so you tell her that she only celebrates one brother, and when she grows up, she doesn't even have a brother to help each other. Grandma listened, and I'm sure to let you take office." As long as the old lady speaks, Mrs. Meng can't do anything if she disagrees.
Grandma Meng wiped her tears and said, "Brother and sister, thank you so much." No matter whether it works or not, she accepts this love.
Before long, Mrs. Meng really asked Grandma Meng to take her two children to Hunan. Mrs. Meng was unwilling, but she was scolded bloody by Mrs. Meng. Then, she said that she would keep her eldest grandson, but Mrs. Meng did not agree.
Regarding the virtue of Mrs. Meng, the great-grandson stayed with her, and he was afraid that the child would have the same virtue with her in the future.
Grandma Meng still has a bitter face outside, and she can't help it. Mrs. Meng has been tossing her hard these days. But when she arrived at Ruhui, a smile appeared on her face. It is worth to suffer a few days of sin, and to exchange for a few years of comfort.
After thanking Ruhui, Grandma Meng went to Hunan to look for Meng Guangpeng with a pair of children.
As soon as Grandma Meng left, Mrs. Meng wanted to hand over the stewardship to Ruhui. It's a pity that Ruhui didn't want to take over, saying that Shiyin was not enough to take care of her, and she really didn't have the energy to take care of other things.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help complaining to Shi Lang Meng: "It's unwilling to make her a housekeeper. You said that you can't help it at all. What can you rely on her in the future?"
Mr. Meng asked, "What do you want to rely on her?"
The husband and wife have experienced ups and downs, and their feelings are very deep. Ms. Meng will not hide many things from her husband: "I originally thought that Ranxi's daughter-in-law would be able to do business with a vigorous mind, but I also wanted to give her a few shops in the family. Now it seems that I am afraid it can't be done." I don't want to take care of the general affairs here, let alone help with the store at home.
In the past few years, the four shops opened by the Meng's family also earned four to five thousand silver per year. But business has become more and more difficult in recent years, and the Meng family has no business people. Of the four shops, two of them are already in deficit, and two of them are barely keeping balance.
The income has decreased, but the family population has increased and the expenditure has increased. Although Meng Xuemin is a scholar, but nowadays, if he dares to make money, he will soon be thrown into jail if he dares to make money. So Madame Meng told Meng Ranxi that her money is tight now, which is not an excuse.
Meng Shangshu said: "Those shops did not make any money, so they rented out the business." After all, the locations of the shops are good, and they can collect a few rents every year.
Mrs. Meng said: "When I was in Anyang Bofu, my general affairs and shops were well organized. When I married to Meng's house, my energy was limited and I couldn't afford it." It's totally evasive, just unwilling to contribute.
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Meng said, "Even Gillian's marriage is not willing to ask her to help me." Apart from the good name, it really feels useless to get married.
Father Meng smiled bitterly. Ning's was a wise man, knowing that she was not the one who would benefit from hard work. Therefore, she is naturally reluctant to contribute: "She is not the long-term wife, she just wants to live her own little life behind her with her door closed! As for the marriage of the children of the second room, you should be more concerned about it! "
Mrs. Meng murmured: "Look at those old ladies like me, who are not making fun of grandchildren? But I have to worry about the marriage of my grandchildren. I originally thought that Ranxi's daughter-in-law came in, so I could relax. But I didn’t expect it to be a matter of ignorance. Now, I still have to ask this old bone to run for them." She is really impatient with outside social gatherings, but if she doesn’t go out, she can’t tell her grandchildren. .
The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law is too submissive and does not have the courage to frighten the people in the mansion. The wife of Ranxi has this courage, but because she is from the second house, she doesn't want to touch the affairs of the mansion.
Hearing this, Mr. Meng said, "At least Ning is here, and Ranxi doesn't have to worry about you."
Mrs. Meng had nothing to say. Ruhui takes care of Meng Ranxi very well, but she can't fault it.
Elder Meng said: "As long as she can be a good internal helper for Ranxi, it is enough, don't force others."
Mrs. Meng returned to her senses and blamed herself a little: "Well, what am I telling you about. You have to be busy with outside affairs, how can you worry about family affairs." Blame the children and grandchildren raised, no. A caring one.
Meng Shang said: "After a while, let the boss come back! Let the boss take care of everything at home."
Mrs. Meng did not refuse this time.
In a blink of an eye, there was only more than one month to leave the meeting. Ruhui felt that it would be nice to treat her with a normal heart, but Mrs. Meng San was on the verge of an enemy. The cicadas on the tree kept screaming, and she asked them to catch them, and she didn't clean them after two days of tossing. He also yelled to cut down all the trees, but was scolded by the old lady and stopped. As a result, within two days, she did not allow the people in the house to yell loudly, so that the maids in the house had to tiptoes when they walked.
Thinking that the food in the second room was good, Mrs. Mengsan went to Ruhui and said that Li's wife's food was delicious and nutritious, and asked Li's wife to make Meng Guangwu a portion.
Ruhui did not refuse either, only that she would pay for food.
Mrs. Meng San immediately changed her face when she heard asking for money. He also said that Ruhui was so angry, but even after eating a few meals, he stretched out his hand to ask for money.
Ruhui chuckled: "No way, Shiyin's father spends a lot of money on studying now. There is no other income at home, and now all the money spent is my dowry. You can't count it carefully. The third aunt is generous and take the money to pay for it. In the kitchen, let them set up a small stove for the fifth brother."
In the evening, Ruhui told Meng Ranxi about the matter and said: "If I don't charge any money, she won't say goodbye to me. Even when the time comes, she even dislikes me and treats her son with no good materials."
Meng Ranxi said: "You are right to refuse. With Guangwu's talents, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass the exam this time. As for the third aunt's unreasonable temperament, Guangwu will not be sure to blame you for this matter after failing the list. "Meng Guangwu is very hardworking, but lacks talent. Not to mention this time, it may not be successful in another three years.
Ruhui said: "Miangong, I didn't say, you still don't stay at home to study. The atmosphere at home is too tense, making me all sorts of things."
Meng Ranxi smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I go if I'm not at home?" Meng Guangwu was so nervous that he always liked to come to him. No matter how calm he is, it will be affected.
Ruhui said: "Go to Lan's house! The atmosphere of their house is very good." The Lan's family is a real scholarly family, and the Meng's family is far behind.
Meng Ranxi wanted to go to Lan's house to review, but they didn't have much friendship with Lan's house.
"A Zhan and Lan Yanghui, the young master of the Lan family, are close friends, and it happens that Young Master Lan is also going to participate in the imperial examination. I asked A Zhan to tell him, it should be fine."
Lan Yanghui was the answer to the last provincial examination, and he was extremely talented, so he could learn very well. If he could study with him, Meng Ran couldn't hope. Meng Ranxi was a little embarrassed just to trouble her brother-in-law.
"Msang Gong, the atmosphere at home is really not suitable for review." This is a major event related to the future, how can it be delayed by the three rooms.
Meng Ranxi nodded and said, "Okay." He took note of his brother-in-law's sentiment.
When Ning Zhan came forward, Lan Yanghui immediately issued an invitation. Meng Ranxi reported to Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng, and with their consent, he went to Lan's house the next day.
ps: No one is taking children today. You have to wait for the little devil to be asleep to code words. Secondly, it is estimated that it will be around 11 o'clock in the evening.
