Foster son and husband

Chapter 162 Embrace

It was impossible for Mei Niang to salute all the time. Seeing that the old lady was silent, she walked to the side and stood there, watching their grandparents and grandchildren eating breakfast slowly, counting in their hearts, and turning around when they reached a hundred counts. leave.

Of course the servants and girls in the room knew that the old lady was deliberately ignoring the eldest grandma. In front of the servants, the old lady seldom did such a thing. They are not even allowed to sit. They have always been kind to their grandchildren and daughters-in-law. Now this situation reminds me of the scene when the grandma first came to Jinhua Hall to meet her ancestors after she got married. It was in the hall at that time. , as if covered with a layer of frost, also coldly glanced at the grandma who was kneeling on the ground, and was not in a hurry to get her up, and said a few words to the first wife and second wife who were sitting on the left and right, Then I asked the granddaughters-in-law next to me about the situation of my great-grandson and great-granddaughter, and then I signaled to Mother Ji, who called out to me. The grandma at that time didn't know whether she was too nervous or didn't understand the rules of the big family, so she didn't listen What Ji's mother said, she knelt like a wooden figure and remained motionless. Ji's mother had to ask Ruizhu to go forward to help her up. Afterwards, the servants and maids teased her in private: After all, she is not a lady of yours. She is really not on the stage. She just came to see her family. The elders were so frightened that they couldn't stop shaking, and their clothes were soaked in sweat...

Today is not what it used to be. The eldest grandmother is in her early years. She has the eldest grandson Heng, and is in charge of waiting for the family. After all, she finally has the confidence. Looking at those cold and dazzling star eyes, Miss Zhuang can't help but bow her head when she glances over. It seems that she is the most supported by the old lady.

Ji's mother saw that Mei Niang retreated without the old lady's voice, and she didn't rush to make the old lady happy with nice words as before. Instead, she lowered her face slightly and felt uneasy in her heart. The purpose of doing this is to blame the eldest grandma for not coming to Jinhuatang to ask for warmth, and the rewards she got from the palace two days ago were not handed over to the old lady. After swallowing it, the rest of the ordinary ones will be distributed. She is getting more and more shameless, and she doesn't take the old lady seriously at all.

The two people who came to the palace yesterday, relayed the Queen Mother's words, and strengthened the old lady's determination to rule the old lady. They thought that even if the old lady was not convinced, she would not be able to beat the old lady. In Xu's residence, how dare the younger generation disobey Against the elders, grandma will be accused of being disrespectful and disrespectful. As long as she is gentle and gentle, and does not contradict or make noise, the old lady may take pity on her, and wait for the Queen Mother's order to give her more benefits, that's all.But with Grandma like this, how can she obey discipline at all?I'm afraid that a dispute will be unavoidable, and it may be the grandma who will be angry at that time. The old lady is old, but she can't afford to make a fuss. It's better to listen to Zhuang Yulan's words, go directly to the palace to meet the queen mother, and pick up a few important charges at will. If you make an appointment with her, you can give up and leave the court. There is no need to bother with that god and have a verbal battle with her face to face.

When Mei Niang was about to count to one hundred, Ji's mother leaned down and told softly: "Old lady, grandma has been here for a while, if you have nothing to say, let grandma go back? She still has something to do! "

Old Madam Xu put down her chopsticks, picked up a spoon and slowly stirred the soup in the small bowl, without looking at Meiniang, she said to Meiniang:
"It seems that you came here after breakfast, and I won't keep you here for dinner, but what's the matter?"

Mei Niang looked at the old lady, and her tone was colder than her: "I came here after breakfast today, and it was the same in the past! I came to Jinhua Hall just to greet my ancestors. If you are always willing, you can serve for a while, otherwise That’s all—you always have a lot of people around you who order you around, and I’m just for a chance, and I don’t know how to do anything, and I can’t do anything well!”

The old lady looked at her when she heard her talking like this: "Isn't it good to say that you are unwell when you come back from the palace? Yesterday you carried Heng'er back to your natal home. What do you want to see about the rewards given by the emperor?" People can bear it! Your wife is sick, and I am fine, and I can make decisions for her. Otherwise, there is the second wife, you are a little daughter-in-law, where should you tell the elders? Just leave, this Which house's rule is it?"

Mei Niang smiled: "Which family's rules do you think it is? I live in the Xu Mansion now, and I have the surname Xu. If it is the Qin family's rules, outsiders will definitely not believe it! The rules of the Xu Mansion are good, cousins ​​and sisters are as close as you are." A family, unmarried couples first seek a new house - who went to Tsinghua University yesterday? There are many good things in the house, right? The rewards given by the emperor, there is a letter of amnesty with dragon patterns, and a list is issued at the same time, specifying that it is only for me. Collection or gift, as I wish! You guessed right, some of the imperial gift items are still locked in the house, and the good and expensive ones have been moved back to her mother’s house! The keys for all the warehouses in the mansion, and some unfinished accounts Booklets, many important contract documents... are all in the house, don't worry, you have to hand them over, what you should have, you can't escape, if you don't have it, you can't grab it, if you are impatient, you will It would be a pity to mess things up! If one or two things are missing in the upper room of Tsinghua University, I will report to the officials. There are military documents in the study of Lord Hou. The Marquis can't get rid of the relationship, and it will be unknown if the nobles will be dismissed or the crimes will be questioned, Xu Mansion, I'm afraid it won't get better!"

The old lady couldn't swallow the soup, she choked, and her face flushed from coughing. Zhuang Yulan's already pale face suddenly turned pale, almost the color of a dead person.

Fang's, Mother Ji, Ruixue Ruiyu hurriedly gathered around to take care of the old lady. Xu Xiaowan and Xu Xiaomin looked at Meiniang in surprise, as if they didn't know her. The old lady pointed at Meiniang and coughed and panted:

"You... In the history of the Xu family, there is no daughter-in-law like you... You are not only unfilial, but also so vicious that you dare to curse my Xu family!"

Mei Niang, on the other hand, said calmly and unhurriedly: "Is it a breach of filial piety? It means that I don't respect the elders. How can the old lady know how to take pity on the younger generation? How much have I eaten from your family when I married as Xu's wife?" Suffering, I believe you know it in your heart! I think I came from a humble background, but I still tell you clearly that I don’t care about your family! Before I got married, my wish was to find a gentle, educated husband, and I didn’t fall in love with him. Your family, Xu Hou, is a warrior, rude and dull, only knows how to wield knives and swords, and can't read a few big characters. If he didn't pretend to be passionate and forced to marry me, and asked the emperor to marry me, who would want to marry into your dilapidated Xu mansion? It's deserted and desolate, and I don't dare to leave the yard at night, and I walk all over the mansions of rich and noble people in Beijing, the Xu mansion is the most shabby!"

After saying these words, everyone in the room was stunned. The Xu family has been prosperous for several generations, a well-known noble family in the capital, and the mansion is spacious and luxurious. How can it be dilapidated and deserted?It is true that Xu Junying is a military officer. The children of the aristocratic family have received the best education since childhood, and their appearance and temperament are all outstanding, but in the eyes of Qin Meiniang, they can only be regarded as a rude and dull martial artist!Did this grandma take the wrong medicine today?Saying something like this is really going to piss me off!

The old lady Xu was trembling all over, her chest was heaving and falling, her face turned from white to red, from red to purple, Mother Ji and Ruixue kept smoothing her chest, and it took a while to catch her breath, Zhuang Yulan listened to Meiniang like He was angry and hated for ruining Xu Junying, but he didn't know how to argue with Mei Niang, so he cried till the pear blossoms rained down, choked on his breath, and almost vomited out the breakfast he had just eaten.

Xu Xiaomin and Xu Xiaorong stared at Mei Niang, not understanding how she could become so hateful today, she just said that the Xu family is not good, and even slandered their elder brother, that's her husband, is she crazy?
Fang approached Meiniang cautiously and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't say any more, I really made the old lady sick, and the crime will not be light... I'd better make an apology and ask the old lady to forgive me!"

Mei Niang glanced at her: "Why do you want to make an apology? Beg for mercy after causing trouble, I'm not too idle to panic!"

Fang lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything. When Meiniang first got married, she also looked down on Meiniang like Bai Jingyu, and her speech and behavior were so contemptuous. After Meiniang recovered from her illness, she didn't do anything to her. As early as when Meiniang refuted the second wife so much that she was jumping, she could see that this sister-in-law was different, she was better than Bai Jingyu, so she behaved more humbly in front of Meiniang, and dared not take the initiative to bring up the past, let alone Easily offend Mei Niang.

Mei Niang was tired from standing, so she looked around and saw that there was no place to sit nearby, so she walked to the round table where they had breakfast and sat down. The old lady slowed down and stared at her angrily, as if she was a monster:

"You, go on your own! Don't come to Jinhua Hall again, I can't bear your disobedience and filial piety!"

"The old lady charged me with such a serious crime, how is she going to deal with me?"

Mei Niang picked up a jade bowl in front of Xu Xiaomin, put it in her hand and slowly turned it around to look at it. This is a jade bowl carved from high-quality jadeite. It is so exquisite, from deep to light green, the whole body Yingrun, almost transparent, Mei Niang couldn't put it down. After eating leftovers in Jinhuatang so many times, she has never seen such a beautiful jade bowl.

Baba came to say hello, but the old lady didn't want to see her so much. Meiniang was not surprised or surprised when Bai Jingyu informed her. The old lady had listed enough things about herself in front of the queen mother, right?It has attracted the attention of the queen mother. It seems that the decree will come down in the next two days. According to the agreement with Xu Junying, as the original wife, she has to manage the marriage for him. She is willing. After all, I have never seen an ancient wedding before. It must be very lively and very lively. Congratulations, it looks good.But the posture of the old lady and Zhuang Yulan seems to not welcome her to participate in the wedding. The old lady changed her usual behavior, first ignoring her, and then accusing her of going online. It seems that the Queen Mother gave Zhuang Yulan a lot of support , Maybe at the same time as the marriage is granted, Xu Junying is allowed to divorce her original wife. It would be great if that is the case. Although the old lady makes troubles, she will accept the move, create conditions together, create reasons, and divorce her wife. Do not mind in what way.

Old Madam Xu was full of anger, panting for breath, and was about to scold, when she saw Mei Niang casually holding the jade bowl and looking left and right, her eyes flickered, and she held back her silence.

Xu Xiaomin stood up in a panic, took the jade bowl away with both hands like catching a chicken, and put it back on the table, Zhuang Yulan's eyes showed disappointment, Xu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mei Niang:
"The empress dowager gave these to the ancestors. There are only eight of them in total. The ancestors are always reluctant to use them. If they are accidentally broken, the crime is serious!"

Mei Niang smiled: "How is it better than being disobedient and unfilial? What are you afraid of if you break a bowl? At worst, you will be fined together!"

The old lady snorted coldly: "I'm afraid you can't bear it!"

Mei Niang looked at the old lady squarely and said, "You can't be punished by a doctor. I'm ordered by orders. I really can't bear punishments like beating and scolding. You can't do that either, but there is one thing I can bear - do what you want in your heart." Come on, don't worry, I am willing, without any grievances!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up, smiled at the two sisters-in-law who were staring blankly at her, turned around and walked out without looking sideways.

Cuixi was standing by the door and winked at her, but she didn't see it, no one opened the curtain, she stretched out her hand and pulled open a slit, and slipped out, feeling that her posture was nimble and light, with a bit of momentum, she never thought that the door was right in front of her. Standing alone, neither dodging nor dodging, let her crash into his arms, and opened his arms to hug her tightly!

Suddenly fell into a warm embrace, completely confused about the situation, and was controlled by someone. Meiniang turned pale with fright, and instinctively struggled to save herself, but to no avail. The man was too powerful and agile, as if he had several hands. How could she She couldn't move, just clinging to him like that, he lowered his head, rubbed her temples with the side of his face, she heard his breathing, smelled a familiar fresh breath, she couldn't help clenching her teeth, her arm was caught by him Controlled, the fingers can still move, I want to pinch him hard to vent my anger, but the muscles on the side of his waist are also hard, I can't grasp it, Meiniang is so anxious that she wants to call names and curse people, Xu Junying whispers in her ear Edge said:
"Don't make any noise! ​​I won't go in, just take you away!"
