Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 429 Dou Cai
It seems that it is also uncomfortable in the heart, and no one tells it.

Xu Suxin is good at everything, but her personality is too weak, and she keeps all sufferings in her heart.

Meeting Meng Baiyun was a blessing in her life, at least there was one more place where she could relieve her depression.

Meng Baiyun turned around and pulled out a chair for her: "Sit down and talk slowly."

Xu Suxin looked at the door.

Meng Baiyun understood: "I'll close the door."

"No, you sit down, I'll go."

After closing the door and window, Xu Suxin went back and sat down opposite Meng Baiyun, with a sad expression on her face as soon as she sat down: "Baiyun, my father is raising a woman outside."

"Forehead!"

This is a family scandal, but she is willing to tell her.

Naturally, Meng Baiyun had a heart-to-heart relationship: "How could this happen? Does your mother know? What do you want me to do for you?"

"No, I just want to ask you, if it was you, I found your father, I'm sorry, I know Mr. Meng is not your father, I just want to say, if you stand in my position, if you know that your father raised a niece outside The outer room gave birth to a son for him, and that son is about ten years old. You overheard your father and the child's mother saying that if you let her wait a few more years, you will definitely give her a title. What are you going to do to get her right?"

"Now tell me, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about a lot. I'm worried that my mother won't be able to bear it if she finds out, and I'm also worried that my father will help that woman."

"The former is worth worrying about, but the latter is fine."

"Forget it, yes, what do you mean?"

"It's just a way for a man to appease the mistress."

"Little San?"

"It means the woman raised secretly outside. What you overheard this time is definitely not the first time your father has made such a promise with that outside room. It's just a verbal promise. Think about it, my son is already in his teens." , if you really want to give her a title, even if you don't support her, you should have taken her into the mansion long ago, she is still an aunt, it is better than bringing a son alive with no name and title."

"Maybe it's because that woman has a backbone, she doesn't do anything wrong, and she's angry with dad?"

"You are stupid. If she is really so strong, she will either take the child far away, or go to your house to make trouble."

Xu Suxin frowned: "Is that so?"

For this kind of thing, Meng Baiyun really shouldn't look too much at it.

Of course, in this day and age, men have three wives and four concubines by nature, so it doesn't hurt to have a concubine, and it is not uncommon for a concubine to enter the house and replace the mistress.

But Mr. Xu's delay in taking the concubine back to the mansion is exactly the same as the routine of modern men raising mistresses that she is used to.

"Let me just say this, even if your father had the heart to help that woman, he didn't have the guts. Your mother is the wife of the original wife, and she is the first wife who has shared the joys and sorrows with him to this day. Your mother's relegation to a concubine will definitely damage his reputation. In addition, you are now considered a celebrity in front of the emperor, how dare he touch your mother's position."

Xu Suxin blushed a bit: "It's not a famous person, just entering the palace to take care of Miss Xuanshi."

"What is modesty, you are a courtier, you can enter the palace every day, you can see the emperor every day, and you have obtained the emperor's dispensation to be a small female official, and you have a small job in the Yujiaofang. Those concubines who are here have to be polite when they see you. In the whole world, the daughters of ministers, from top to bottom, are the only ones who are not concubines, but have a certain position beside the emperor. Your father is a sensible person, he will not bring that woman back casually to anger you and your mother."

"But she gave birth to a son for the Xu family."

Meng Baiyun smiled and said, "Why, do you think this child should recognize his ancestors?"

Xu Suxin was a little embarrassed: "My father is too old, he has no children, and no one to inherit the foundation. After all, Sumei and I are girls, and my mother often regrets that she didn't give birth to a boy for my father. I think, She should be able to accept that child, and if she knew of the existence of that child, she might also want to take that child back."

Women, they always think that this is generosity and consideration for the family, but they don't know that it is this kind of thinking that pampers a group of men like Mr. Xu.

Marrying one after another, making the house noisy and troublesome, it is better to hide in a golden house outside, the so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing.

Meng Baiyun felt that it was enough for her to comfort and comfort Xu Suxin about the Xu family's affairs, and not get involved.

"Wait a moment, you can check your mother's tone, and then consider whether to tell her about the woman and child outside. If she can accept it, you can go to that woman to discuss it and see if she is willing to do it. A concubine, if you don’t want to, then pull it down, anyway, it’s raised inside and outside the mansion, this bloodline belongs to your family, doesn’t it?”

Xu Suxin felt that what Meng Baiyun said made sense.

She was only worried that that woman would replace her mother, but now that she knew that her father hadn't thought about it and her mother's position would not be threatened, she felt relieved.

She stood up: "Listening to Jun's words is better than studying for ten years. I feel much better now, and I dragged you to tell a lot of family stories. Are you hungry? I'll call Shuixuan and get you something to eat. "

Meng Baiyun looked at the hourglass.

"No need, we should have lunch soon, how many people did the emperor bring?"

"Not many, just Lord Murong's family, Lord Lin's family, Lord Qian's family, Lord Jiang's family, Lord Weng's family and my family. By the way, several princes and princesses are also here."

Is that not much?

Meng Baiyun has a big head, and the original intention of the outing has been lost, so he might as well go home and sleep.

But since she can't avoid it, she won't play with her temper and show her face, she will make her family Long Aohan look good.

For lunch, everyone eats together.

I went to the huge racetrack to set up a mat. The sky was blue and cloudless, and a huge awning was built on the grass.

The sunshade cloth with capital pattern on the white background shows the extravagance.

In the middle of the shed, five tables were placed in an orderly manner.

Everyone greeted each other and took their seats.

The table in the middle is made of high-quality golden nanmu, with exquisite flowers, birds and trees hollowed out on the table top, and the legs of the table are carved into twig pear patterns, and the matching chairs are also made of golden nanmu, with excellent carving skills.

There is no doubt that this is the main table.

The main table is respected to the east, so naturally, that seat belongs to Zhong Ning.

On the left and right, Zuoxiang Murong and Old General Yuan sat respectively.

Followed by Long Aohan and Mrs. Long, and then Weng Junsheng and others.

Meng Baiyun was next to Long Aohan, besides them, there were several princes at the table.

It is not a palace banquet, so men and women do not share seats.

However, men and women have to be more or less cautious, so the person next to Meng Baiyun is not a prince, but a princess.

It can be said that, except for the positions of the emperor and a few elders, the others are actually seated very casually.

After some politeness, the dishes came up.

Meng Baiyun was really hungry, but he still ate elegantly, but he ate a bit too much.

Long Aohan seldom touches his chopsticks except for adding food to her occasionally.

That's how he is. On this occasion, he basically eats very little.

It's no wonder that outsiders feel that he is not easy to get close to. In fact, in front of outsiders, his appearance and behavior give people a feeling of indifference and alienation.

Halfway through lunch, Zhong Ning put down his chopsticks, and everyone naturally put down their chopsticks too.

"Everyone, it's really pleasant for me and everyone to come to Shanglin paddock for a spring outing during our busy schedule. I brought a few ugly slaves with me when I went up the mountain, and each of them possessed unique skills. I asked them to perform a show for everyone. How about it? "

How else can this be, his emperor said that everyone eats when they eat, and that everyone follows the entertainment when they say entertainment.

All of a sudden, there were echoes of harmony.

Zhong Ning clapped his hands, and soon, a group of gray-clothed men wearing clown masks lined up not far away, and under the leadership of the eunuch, they entered the arena in an orderly manner.

Meng Baiyun noticed that one of them was wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles, his eyebrows were tightly knit, and he unconsciously wanted to stand up.

The wrist was gently held by Long Aohan.

Looking at Long Aohan, she frowned deeply.

Long Aohan just shook his head slightly at her.

Meng Baiyun knew that on this occasion, Zhong Ning wanted to humiliate Yan Hongyi, and she would not be able to show up.

Once people know who the man in handcuffs and shackles is, it will cause an uproar.

What's more, the relationship between Meng Baiyun and Yan Hongyi can also make people do a good job.

She put up with it.

Looking at Zhong Ning, I don't know what he wants to do.

"These ugly slaves have their own abilities. They are doing this today. If someone can beat my ugly slave, I will give you the ugly slave. In order to convince the ugly slave, I will let the ugly slave kneel for the rest of the meal." waiting for you?"

They all thought it was the emperor's playfulness, they were all a bunch of slaves, no one would care.

If the emperor likes it, then follow the emperor's preference.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to win. When the time comes, the Emperor should not punish you."

A minister laughed, but he also asked a question that everyone cared about.

Don't let the rule set by the emperor be that if you win, you will be a slave, and if you lose, you will bow down to the slave, no one dares to play.

Zhong Ning laughed heartily and said, "You are all my lovers. These people are just slaves. If you win, they belong to you. It doesn't matter if you lose. They were just helping the banquet at that time."

In this way, some people are eager to try.

One of the adults stood up: "Your Majesty, I don't know what are the strengths of these few?"

Zhong Ning cast a look at the eunuch.

The little eunuch understood, stood in front of the row of gray people wearing clown masks, and introduced them one by one.

"This one is good at calligraphy. He can use both left and right bows. One hand is wild cursive and the other hand is regular script. The wild cursive is like a dragon crossing a river, with a majestic momentum. The regular script is like flowing clouds and flowing water, with delicate bones."

"This one is proficient in twelve kinds of musical instruments, such as flute, flute, harp, harp, drum, qin and ruan, chime bells and erhu. He can play all of them superbly."

"This one, the memory is amazing, ten lines at a glance."

"This one, an equestrian master."

When the equestrian master was introduced, everyone was curious, what are these handcuffs and shackles for?
