urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 220 Unrest 1
Yu Wanniang thought so too, seeing her daughter took the ledger and began to look through it, hesitated for a while, then handed the book to her daughter, and said awkwardly: "I also heard from the old lady that I am pregnant, I need to read more "" "Thousand Characters", "Disciple Rules", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Thousands of Poems", "Enlightenment of Rhythm", "Written Enlightenment", "Zengguang Xianwen" and so on, so that your children will become accustomed to it and like to read when they are born .”

Mu Zhaozhao felt a little out of breath, and said with a mournful face: "Mother, it's not like you don't know, I didn't like these things since I was a child."

"It's because you don't like studying that I'm worried that your child will be like you in the future."

Yu Wanniang has already started to worry about her children: "The capital city is not as small as we used to be. There is a girls' school here. If your daughter doesn't like to read and write as much as you did when you were young, she won't be able to integrate into it, and she will be rejected by others. The lady is repulsive."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the poems of thousands of families into his daughter's hands: "Besides, when you read books, you also review the past to learn the new, so that your children will not ask you in the future, but you will not know three things."

Mu Zhaozhao took the book with a sullen face and opened it, thinking to himself: Even if I don't understand, then I can still ask my husband to teach the child a little treat.

But she didn't dare to refuse her mother, because if she was not happy, her mother would start to think about it.

In fact, she only regrets it now, why would she want her mother to stay with her a few days ago?

But she didn't dare to tell her mother to go back, otherwise she would be sad, or she would punish herself even worse.

Hey, I really regret it.

After turning a few pages, she felt so bored and drowsy.

It would be nice if I could read a picture book by myself.

She glanced at her mother who was doing needlework with her, and once again rejoiced that she had escaped the catastrophe. Fortunately, there was a saying that she could not do needlework if she was pregnant, otherwise she would be driven crazy because she was afraid of death.

She wondered if she should send a letter to Father Meng in private, asking him to come and pick up his wife and son.

At this time, Brother Jin, who had slept enough, woke up.

Brother Jin has a big appetite now, and after Yu Wanniang personally feeds the child, Brother Jin can still eat some apple puree.

The kitchen also brought them two bowls of milky white and thick crucian carp soup.

Looking at the hot fish soup, Mu Zhaozhao has no appetite. Although the fish soup is full of fragrance and has no fishy smell, she has eaten it for two days in a row, and now she wants to eat spicy pot, or a bowl of hot and sour The beef noodles were just fine.

"I'm not hungry yet." Mu Zhaozhao decided to quietly go to the kitchen to eat some braised pork or jerky that he likes later.

After hearing this, Yu Wanniang told her: "You can't be picky eaters, how can you raise the baby in your belly if you don't eat more?"

After finishing speaking, he added another warning: "However, you can't eat too much, but make up too much, and raise the baby in your belly too well. In the future, you will suffer a great crime if you have a baby."

Mu Zhaozhao laughed when he heard this: "Mother, why are you contradicting yourself?"

Brother Jin was originally crawling around on the couch, and by the way played the game of I throw you pick with Zisu, but now he heard his sister's laughter, and giggled along with him.

When Mu Zhaozhao saw him, he put his arms around his younger brother and smiled: "Oh, brother Jin has such a good temper."

The curtain of Mian was lifted, and Meng Yu came in with a smile and said, "I heard the laughter of your siblings before I came in."

Then he looked at his tiger-headed eldest son, wearing bright red thin cotton-padded clothes and trousers, he was even cuter than the lucky dolls in the painting.

The few thin wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that made him unable to help laughing came out: "Brother Jin, do you still recognize your father?"

"Ahhh..." Brother Jin couldn't speak yet, but the act of waving his arms excitedly at him was a good way to express that he missed him.

Anyway, in the Daqing Dynasty there was no such thing as holding a grandson but not a son, so Meng Yu strode over and hugged his fat son upside down: "My dear son, you miss your father, and my father misses you too..."

At this moment, Meng Yu has learned the baby's language without a teacher, and the father and son can communicate without any obstacles at all.

Mint came in with tea, and cleverly handed it to Yu Wanniang.

Yu Wanniang waited for their father and son to talk to each other for a long time, and when the son saw his father's intimacy subside, she motioned for him to put the son on the couch, and she handed the porcelain white teacup to him: " Why are you here today?"

"I'll pick you up." Meng Yu looked at their mother and daughter apologetically and said, "Grandfather was not well yesterday, are you thinking about Brother Jin?"

Although he didn't say much, both Yu Wanniang and Mu Zhaozhao understood what he meant, and they were worried that if their grandfather really disappeared, it would be inappropriate for Brother Jin, the grandson of Xuan Tai, to be here.

Mu Zhaozhao was stunned when he heard the words: "How is it possible? Wasn't great-grandfather in good health before?"

"It's Uncle Wu who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The Ministry of Criminal Justice also came to our house to investigate. Your grandfather wants to save face. He knows that his anger will hurt his body, but he can't control it."

Although the family ugliness should not be publicized, there are no outsiders here. Meng Yu was also worried that Mu Zhaozhao would not see the situation clearly and would hinder Qin Mu, so he said it very carefully: "He took advantage of his position to collect a lot of money in private, and paid for it. Privately arrange for someone to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to visit the prison."

"But this time, the Ministry of Punishment has detained many officials, all of whom were implicated by Wen Shangshu and others. Some of them wanted to poison their mouths, but this time the adults of the Ministry of Punishment have already prepared to arrest them as well. Now, follow the vine, and Fifth Uncle was also bitten out."

Mu Zhaozhao was puzzled: "Even if this is the case, then we have already separated. Why should the adults from the Criminal Department come to our house to investigate?"

Meng Yu sighed: "Because Uncle Wu owns two yards and three shops, the total value is 7 to 2 taels of silver, and more than [-] taels of silver were found in his home."

"There are also some antique calligraphy and paintings, which are worth at least five or sixty thousand taels of silver."

"In order to get rid of the crime, he even quibbled, saying that those private properties were bought by your great-grandfather for him in private."

"It is also said that our Huichuntang's business is also helped by him, so that we can buy medicinal materials at a low price and sell them at a high price."

"He wants to drag us into trouble together." Yu Wanniang took a breath: "Then the grandfather didn't recognize him, did he?"

If this is verified, even if the Meng family has separated, they will be implicated.

Meng Yu smiled reassuringly at her: "Don't worry, grandfather denied it right then."

It's a pity that my grandfather is old now, and he is so angry, anxious and angry that he can't hold on and collapses.

This is also because the grandfather is usually very optimistic about his concubine, and feels that he is not too old now, but he has already sat firmly in the position of the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and he may go further in the future.

And Uncle Wu was indeed the highest official in the Meng family before.

When the grandfather separated the family, he treated the concubines favorably, gave the yard and several thousand taels of silver to settle down, just to let them have enough silver in their hands, so that they would not take risks because of money, and do things that were corrupt and perverted.

It's a pity that Uncle Wu finally failed his grandfather's expectations.

Meng Yu looked at Mu Zhaozhao again and said: "This time we were not involved, thanks to the son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion who said a few words for us, and the adults from the Ministry of Punishment also worked with Qin Mu, otherwise I'm afraid we can't get rid of the relationship so quickly."

I have to say that the saying that there are people in the court who are good at handling things is very true.

If it wasn't for Qin Mu and Mo Xiuyu this time, the Meng family would have to be implicated in the injury and bleeding to get rid of the relationship.

Meng Yu looked at Mu Zhaozhao again and asked, "Do you know why he dragged the Meng family into trouble?"

After careful consideration, Mu Zhaozhao was sure that she didn't have the talent in this area, so she said simply: "Hate grandfather? Or is it because he is having a hard time and doesn't want great-grandfather and grandfather to be safe?"

"This is one of them." Meng Yu was not impatient, but took the opportunity to teach carefully: "He wants us to be implicated, and he wants to wait for Qin Mu to come back and ask the Holy Master for mercy."

"Now Qin Mu can be regarded as in the eyes of the Holy Majesty, and he is out on a business mission by order. If he comes back and finds out that we have all entered the Ministry of Punishment, he will definitely intercede."

"Then maybe the sage will be able to spare Qin Muzhong for the sake of his loyalty."

"The main reason is that he has fallen into the current situation. This is his only chance of survival."

Mu Zhaozhao heard him say something about the cleansing of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. More than a dozen officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were also implicated, and now they have all been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Yu Wanniang also asked the maids to clean up her and her son's salute, while telling her daughter: "It's very chaotic outside now, just stay in the mansion obediently and don't go out to wander around."

Mu Zhaozhao cheered in his heart that his mother was leaving, but he also pretended to be obedient: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely be a lady of a big family who never goes out of the door."

In this winter, she didn't want to go out. Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the house to eat and drink spicy food?It is even more enjoyable to look at the picture book.

Hearing this, Meng Yu smiled: "I still want Zhao Zhaoming to go out. Zhao Zhao has some friendship with the concubine of Cheng'en's mansion, but there are many people staring at Cheng'en's mansion now. If If we rush to the door, it will make people suspicious, I just want her to go to Cheng'en Gong Mansion for us to thank Shi Zifei."

After hearing this, Yu Wanniang looked at her daughter with hesitation: "But she hasn't been three months yet?"

Mu Zhaozhao nodded quickly: "It's okay, I can do it, my health is very good."

"Besides, Wu Dagui's biography is not very clear. I want to ask the concubine Shizi personally if she has any inside information."

After finishing speaking, Mu Zhaozhao pointed to the courtyard where Mrs. Hou and the others lived: "Even if Wen Shangshu's demise has nothing to do with us, but if something really happened to Cheng'anbo Mansion, it's better to find out."

Hearing this, Meng Yu asked curiously, "What did Wu Dagui say?"

Yu Wanniang and Mu Zhaozhao told him what Wu Dagui said about you and me.

In the end, Meng Yu and Mu Zhaozhao made an appointment, and tomorrow he would take someone to personally send Mu Zhaozhao to Cheng'en Gongfu.

Yu Wanniang wanted to follow, so she could take care of her daughter.
