Foster son and husband

Chapter 176
177 returns
Ji Qing took away the empress dowager's edict from Meimei's hand, and the emperor said: "Destroy it immediately, so as not to cause trouble again!"

Meimei watched Ji Qing leave, her eyes slowly turned red, the emperor coughed lightly, and said: "It's not that Junying didn't know that your family background was poor, but he still insisted on marrying you. I don’t believe it! But the world is unpredictable, sometimes you are influenced by others, and you may change your mind... You have to remember one thing: Junying has gone to the border since he was a child, fighting on the battlefield, defending his family and the country. He is a hero of the country. Wife, even if the marriage is not granted by imperial decree, unless he personally says no, you have no reason to leave! I don’t think you seem to be making trouble for no reason. I don’t know what’s going on between the two of you right now, but I can promise you: if Junying has indeed lost his affection for you. I will ask for you. If he is willing to let his wife go, I will ask him to write a letter of divorce. If he refuses to let you go, I will order him to treat you kindly and maintain your status as a regular wife ——All I can do is go so far!"

Meimei lowered her face, couldn't hold back her tears, and bowed down deeply under cover. The emperor watched a string of tears dripping on the pink skirt, blooming the water-red cherry blossoms. He stood there for a moment, and finally said to himself With a sigh, he turned and walked away quickly.

Not to mention that Meimei went out early and returned late every day, and was ordered to enter the palace to accompany the queen in confinement. As Zhuang Yulan's temporary natal home, Xu's mansion was also decorated with lanterns and festoons on the day of her wedding under Yi's order. Needless to say, the red, green and green scene was written by the second wife, Bai Jingyu was sick, Ning Rulan had severe morning sickness, Xu Junya didn't allow anyone to disturb her, the old lady pointed at the second wife for the wedding, the second wife was not ambiguous, it was the wedding Once the money is in hand, put away half of it first. The old lady asked Kilometer to pay the dowry. She discussed with the second master and made some tricks. Zhuang Yulan just kept crying, how did she know this?He was helped into the sedan chair by Xi Niang, secretly gritted his teeth in the sedan chair and scolded the queen mother a thousand times, but still couldn't get over his hatred, and thought of how sad he might be when his cousin Ying disappeared after returning home, he almost fainted from crying.

Bai Jingyu kept an eye out, seeing that the men would not persuade her to go back to grandma, she discussed with Rulan, and regardless of whether Junlang was not at home, she went to Tsinghua University with her brothers overnight to finish the matter that grandma told her. So he grabbed all the keys of the account books, and there was a note written by the eldest grandma, temporarily acting as a temporary agent in the house, the old lady had nothing to say, the second master and the second wife only thought that their parents-in-law was in charge of the house, and they could do whatever they wanted, and they were secretly happy , but Bai Jingyu is no longer the previous Bai Jingyu, and she will not let them handle it.

Bai Jingyu obeyed her grandma's entrustment, and took time to visit Qiuhuayuan every day. The eldest wife sometimes had a clear mind and was confused. Bai Jingyu strictly ordered the people in Qiuhuayuan to keep their tongues. The wife fell asleep when grandma brought Heng Er, and she woke up after leaving, so I couldn't see him.

The men and girls in the Hou's mansion suddenly got busy with something. If the men say something is wrong, it means something. Who can track it down?The girls are serious about learning embroidery, and they also concentrate on practicing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that they usually hate. When they come to the old lady's room to say hello, they come early. I went to pay my respects, and I went after dinner, saluted, and left after sitting for a while, and I didn't like to talk anymore. After the old lady married Zhuang Yulan away, I felt a lot of loneliness. The huge Jinhuatang lost The joy and excitement of the past.

And when Zhuang Yulan returned home three days later, the old lady was even more shocked. Bai Jingyu went to Jinhuatang to see the situation, and ordered the girls to embroider in the room without worrying about going out. It won't be long before I'm going back.

The old lady knew that Bai Jingyu was actually worried that the girl's heart would be chilled when she saw Zhuang Yulan's appearance, so she couldn't say anything at the moment, but she pursed her lips tightly and clasped her hands, just like Zhuang Yulan, and secretly hated the queen mother again. .

Zhuang Yulan cried until her eyes were like peach pits, but within three days, she was visibly haggard. On the surface, she could only say that she married an unsatisfactory husband who was good enough to be a father, and she cried for her fate. , the secret suffering is only known to her, and it's unreasonable to swallow it.

After all, the marriage was bestowed by Yizhi, so who would dare to neglect the Queen Mother's relatives?Shi Songmao, a middle-aged bereaved wife, married Zhuang Yulan. He was overjoyed to marry Zhuang Yulan. There were countless concubines and concubines in his family. They were not as good as this delicate and tender young bride. Although she was in her 40s, she was a little puffy and coughing. Panting, the body is still very strong, even on the wedding night, Zhuang Yulan can't get out of bed the next day. Fortunately, there is no in-laws in the house, so there is no need to follow the rules to serve tea, Shi Songmao is also considerate, Suppressing the whole family not to disturb the new wife, no matter Zhuang Yulan's pleadings, the second night, she was still upside down, tossing and tossing for a long time, she hugged the bride and went to sleep by herself, but Zhuang Yulan was crying, and she didn't get confused until dawn After a while, Jin Suo woke up and had to forcefully get up, because it was the day of returning home, so he couldn't stay in bed.

After dressing up and walking out of the new house, Shi Songmao asked the whole family to visit the new wife first, and the family finally had a face-to-face meeting, which nearly made her faint from anger!Shi Songmao had five concubines and ten children. The dead wife had five sons and daughters. The oldest daughter was married and gave birth to two grandchildren. The eldest son was 16 years old, and the youngest son was only three. month old!
What made her angry was that the five concubines were all arrogant. They didn't kneel or bow to her, the wife of the wife who was bestowed by the decree to marry. He just stared and blew his beard, he didn't really get angry, he obviously wanted to protect those concubines on purpose!

The concubine and the concubine's daughters did the same, showing their respect and saluting, and then looked at her coldly from the sidelines when they stepped back.

On the way back, Zhuang Yulan cried and cried in the car, crying her eyes like that, no wonder it frightened Bai Jingyu, even the girls wouldn't let her meet.

The old lady Xu also wanted to stay Zhuang Yulan in Xu's residence for one night. After Shi Songmao drank a few glasses of wine with the second master Xu Xiping, the second master Xu Junlang and his son in the front hall, he went in to greet the old lady, and coaxed the old lady with a slick tongue. The old lady turned her anger into joy, and the return ceremony prepared by Shi Songmao was very expensive, and he thoughtfully arranged another door-to-door ceremony and sent it to the Jiangnan dealer, but the list was shown to the old lady, and the old lady could not be dissatisfied The more he looked at the 40-year-old nephew and son-in-law, the more he felt pleasing to the eye. Immediately, he comforted Zhuang Yulan a few words, and said many words of blessing for the harmony and happiness of their husband and wife. Shi Songmao led Zhuang Yulan back to the Shifu.

Qin Meimei lived in Cen's house, shut Baoju Baizhan and his attendants out for three nights, and it rained heavily on the fourth night, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and let them enter the front yard, Cui Lian and Cuisi led people to arrange a place for them, and Baoju and Baizhan felt more at ease from then on: Grandma's willingness to take them in is equivalent to admitting that she is the wife of Xu's mansion!
But the Empress Dowager's decree still made them brood, Ji Qing didn't know whether he had forgotten it or something, but he didn't tell them that he had taken back the decree, and it was destroyed long ago.

After Meimei entered the palace for seven or eight days, she finally saw the opportunity and told the queen about Lin Runan in front of the emperor. The emperor said flatly:
"The case of Lin Changqing is over. He was implicated and punished. Ms. Lin is considered an ordinary woman. If she wants to meet, she can enter the palace as Meimei's entourage. I asked a while ago. Because the private house was planted with a lot of precious flowers and plants, King Yu took it as a foreign house, let Ji Qing tell him, and just teach him to return it to Miss Lin!"

So two days later, Meimei brought Lin Runan into the palace, and the good friends finally met. Because she was afraid that the queen would not be sad during confinement, Lin Runan only made a smile, and the three of them talked and laughed for a long time, full of joy. The guard sent him out of the palace.

Two days later, the Lin family's private house was returned. The old man of the Lin family couldn't help but couldn't wait to go back to live in his own home, but Meimei was reluctant to leave like Nan. The girl who hadn't left the cabinet, Lin's father and Lin's mother refused to let her live outside privately. In desperation, Lin Runan moved back with his parents and promised to visit him often in the future. Meimei sent Lin Runan's family away sadly, feeling that Cen's house was empty, and her heart was not at peace.

There has been no news from the Qin family. She has been out of Xu's residence for ten days. She once asked Cuixi to go back to Qin's residence and told Mama Wang not to return to Xu's residence. In the Cen Mansion in Dongcheng, every day when she comes back from the palace, she always asks Cui Lian who is staying at home: Is there anyone from the Qin residence?Cui Lian just shook her head, Meimei's heart was getting colder and colder, she who never suffered from insomnia woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep for several nights in a row, thinking of the consequences of too many betrayals, but she didn't expect to be so sad.

Cuixi persuaded Meimei to go back to Qin's house to have a look. Meimei thought twice and decided not to go. It's going to be difficult. She gritted her teeth and made it through. If the Qin family only recognizes Mrs. Hou's aunt and doesn't recognize the daughter who lives outside, then that's fine. up!Cui Lian specially told Cui Lian to pay attention to the date of the Spring Examination, Cui Lian asked Bao Ju to go and see, the uncle of the Qin family won the tribute!She finally did her best and never disturbed their peaceful and beautiful life.

There used to be about twenty servants and women in the Cen's house, ten girls were taken away by the Lin family, and a dozen were left behind. Meimei went to the palace every day, Cui Lian took care of the house, and the housekeeper assisted her. Cuixi still focused on arresting her. Li Qiuge did not follow the king of Qi into the palace of the king of celestial beings. He brought along Su Yunu and dozens of kabuki and dancers who were willing to follow them, and opened another band. Meimei asked Lu Xiangfeng to give him the capital. Li Qiuge According to the old rules, the income is divided into [-]-[-], and the money is handed over to Cuixi to enter the account.

King Qi came to look for Meimei, but he didn't see her, so he didn't dare to enter the palace. He just annoyed the emperor, and he was not afraid of facing the wind. He had to worry that the queen mother would get sick from anger.Meimei sees Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi quite often. In Kunning Palace, in front of the queen, Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi don't like to talk to her too much. They always just smile or make eye contact. A lot can be said in two days.
