Foster son and husband

Chapter 94 Repayment of Debt

The willow wind blowing on the face is not cold, until mid-February, the spring rain moistens things, the air is humid, the sky is often covered by rain clouds, gray, and the sun is rarely seen, but it is not very cold anymore. The southeast wind is light and soft, blowing Passing by, it is very refreshing, and there is no sense of coldness.

Meiniang has been extremely busy these days, the affairs of the mansion, the business of the Cyclamen Restaurant, and the upcoming exam for her natal brother all overwhelmed her, so she grabbed Ning Rulan tightly and asked her to support Zi with all her strength. Yuntang, Ning Rulan is so easy to talk, she doesn't ask for reasons, she doesn't refuse, she just obeys orders.

In fact, Ning Rulan was also in a particularly good mood during this time. Her husband Xu Junya got an official position, a seventh-rank official in Beijing, and has experience in the General Administration Department, and has already taken up the post.The husband and wife are usually used to staying together. Once they have an official position, they always have to be separated for a few hours every day. The two of them are full of missing each other. Husband went out, and then waited for him to come home with full expectation. This feeling was both beautiful and novel to her. She wanted to share her inner feelings with Mei Niang, but she was concerned that the relationship between her and Xu Junying was still stiff, and she was afraid that she would After hearing it, I was in a bad mood, so I could only secretly sweeten myself.Anyway, during the day, if you are idle, you are also idle. Helping Meiniang with housekeeping is also easy. If Meiniang is not willing to do things, she will take the lead. She is happy to let Meiniang relax and spend more time to see her son. The husband has decided to marry another wife , and then separated from his son, that would be too unfair to Meiniang.

The borrowed 35 taels of silver was finally repaid in full!This was foreseen a long time ago. On that day, Mei Niang couldn't help but have a great time. She rewarded all the employees of Xiankelai, reserved a private room, let the kitchen master cook the famous dishes in the shop, and Zhang Jingyun who came uninvited Had a good drink with Lingxuzi. Although Mei Niang is a woman, she can drink a little. Zhang Jingyun and Ling Xuzi naturally didn't want her to get drunk and stopped her from pouring wine, but Meiniang didn't appreciate it. There is a bottom line, knowing that you have to be decent in front of male friends, only to end up slightly drunk, you have enough courage to speak wildly:

"From now on, I, Cen Meimei, really have money! You guys, don't be polite, you need to spend money, just come and get it... I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after spending all my money!"

The boldness of not letting men down made the two big men laugh so hard, Cuixi and Cui Lian next to him showed black lines.

Back at the Tsinghua Academy in Houfu, they had another delicious meal, and they were as happy as a child. If it wasn't for Mama Wang's suppression, she would have played with all the girls all night long.

Their celebration somewhat alarmed the people in the east courtyard. Xu Junying asked Ruizhu to see what was going on. Ruizhu went and returned, and replied: "The women in the corridor are all drinking, and they say it's Grandma. Thank you, today is the little girl Cheng'er's birthday, and the eldest grandma is celebrating her!"

Xu Junying lowered his eyes: She really has a leisurely heart, it seems that she has not seen her for many days, he can only see the orange light reflected from the flower window in her room, and imagine her looking at the account book and knitting a sweater in the room.Cheng'er said that grandma was so busy these days that she chatted with her sisters-in-law and learned how to grow flowers from a gardener. She saw so many other people's gardens that she became envious and wanted to get a better one herself. garden……

The old lady was urging him again, asking him to inquire about the news of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother cared about the King of Qi, she wanted to worship the Buddha sincerely, and at other times she wanted to accompany King Qi to live in the Huangzhuang outside the city, and she had no intention of seeing her relatives outside the palace.What the old lady meant was that when she wanted Xu Junying to meet the emperor, she asked her to tell her that the old lady was thinking of the queen mother, to see if she could attract the attention of the queen mother, think of the old cousin, and then invite her to the palace to see her, and that would be a good thing.

Xu Junying felt a little bored in her heart, suddenly felt that remarrying again was really boring and tiring, and she didn't know what the future would be like.Zhuang Yulan, the well-behaved and gentle cousin Lan, was with Zheng Meiyu these days, and she felt that their faces were so similar. Xu Junying was secretly surprised, she didn't feel this way before.After careful observation, it turns out that Cousin Lan and Zheng Meiyu both wear the same bun, even the flowers on the hairpin and the color of the clothes are almost the same. They are about the same height, and they look like He was very depressed about the twin girls.

About seven or eight days ago, Meiniang met him in the yard and invited him to the upper room for tea and snacks, and the two talked for a long time.As the housekeeper grandma, she dutifully obeyed the old lady's orders and came to discuss with him about marrying a new grandma. She also mentioned the meaning of the old lady by the way, saying that the old lady also nodded and agreed that the cousin of the Zheng family would be a good concubine.The eldest wife thought that since it was a wedding event, it would be better to marry in at the same time. It is not a trivial matter to accept good concubines, and the etiquette is thoughtful. Taking advantage of the ceremony of the new eldest grandma, it can save time, worry and money. Additional trouble.Meiniang drew a picture and pushed it over the table to show him: After the wedding, Tsinghua University re-arranged the housing, Zhuang Yulan lived in the upper room where Meiniang now lives, Xu Junying took Zheng Meiyu to live in the east courtyard, The small side yard next to the big pool is a bit humid, so it is not suitable for long-term residence. The two aunts can move to the wing room opposite the corridor on the right side of the upper room, which is also convenient for serving the waiter and grandma.The most urgent task right now is to redecorate all the rooms in the Tsinghua University as soon as possible, make sure they have a brand new look, and get ready for the wedding.

Meiniang was eloquent and spoke methodically. Xu Junying watched her plump, bright, moist and translucent lips keep closing, her clear eyes met her, without any hesitation, with a serious intention of consulting and discussing, Xu Junying Every time Junying sees her talking to the sixth son Xu Junxuan, she looks like this, completely like a sister-in-law. Does she want to treat him like a brother and manage the marriage for him?

Xu Junying waited for Mei Niang to finish speaking, and asked, "The newcomer lives in the upper house, where do you live?"

Mei Niang pushed another piece of paper over to him: "This is a quiet courtyard, it's empty inside, I've already planned it, I'll live in it, plant a whole yard of flowers, good flowers and trees from Dingguogong Mansion and Changlehou Mansion You can get some, when the time comes, Xu Mansion will also have a good garden where you can hold flower banquets!"

Xu Junying said: "Aren't there few courtyards with good flowers and trees in the mansion? In the past, they also held flower banquets. It wasn't because you issued a ban that they were not allowed to wear red and set off firecrackers during the New Year, so no one dared to hold banquets. There is a large open space next to the pool in this yard. It is carefully cared for and can be planted with many flowers and plants. The quiet yard is far away from the back yard, near the back door, and is close to the outer wall. It is too secluded... Did anyone tell you? I used to live there A concubine who committed a crime was hanged inside!"

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, apparently frightened, and asked softly, "What did she do?"

"Contradict the mistress!"

"Oh!" Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I brought so many people in, am I still afraid of a dead person?"

Xu Junying looked at her: "You are very bold!"

"No, I'm very timid. Without Cuixi and the others on duty at night, I would be afraid..."

Meiniang finally lowered her head to make him feel better. He actually admired women with personality, but for some reason, seeing Meiniang acting too strong in front of him was very unbearable.

He didn't immediately agree with her so-called two-way plan, and said: "You can let people start to decorate the rooms of Tsinghua University first, marry the newcomer, and wait until the final decision is made."

Mei Niang said: "When it is finalized, it will be too late. Redecoration will have to be freed up to do it. The walls need to be painted, and the doors, windows, beams, and partitions need to be painted again."

Xu Junying glanced around the room: "There are not too many furniture items. There are a lot of people in the house for orders. How about moving it? But if it's a mess for two days, it will be fine!"

Mei Niang wanted to say something else, but Xu Junying said that there was an official document to read, stood up and left without letting her speak.

In the past, he would have agreed to let her move out without hesitation, but now he can't make up his mind.What would Tsinghua University be like without her?There is a parapet between him and her, and he lives next to her, so he can not see each other. He is used to seeing the light on her window every day, and thinking of her inside, he feels inexplicably at ease.

Bai Zhan was a bit lucky, he stumbled across the street and saw the woman who whipped Zhang Qichun, the fourth son of the Yasukuni Mansion that day. Stopping in front of a shop selling honeydew melons, the woman got out of the carriage, took a look around, went into the shop and bought some dried fruits, then hurriedly got in the car and left, but she was smart enough to buy a new car, an ordinary boxwood The carriage was exquisite but not luxurious. Bai Zhan followed the carriage and walked to a not-so-small house in the east city. He looked like a wealthy family. He watched the carriage go around the main entrance, entered through the side door, and then closed the small copper door tightly. .

After inquiring, it turned out that it was the residence of Cen Guiquan, the owner of Cyclamen. That is to say, the woman whose stature, demeanor and voice resembled Meiniang very much was a female member of the Cen family.

Since it has a history, it won't be related to Qin Meiniang.

There are not many unexpected and strange things in the world. Qin Meiniang was completely dead. Two days later, she was able to crawl out of the coffin panting and run around. Not only did her temperament change drastically, but she also forgot many things from the past. cerebral.Xu Junying had no choice but to suspect that she might also put on a mask to change her appearance like Zhang Jingyun did, and boldly ran to the streets to wander around.

There is another fact that made him no longer doubt: Mei Niang is so weak, it is impossible to catch the leather whip wielded by the man, let alone burst out with such force, Zhang Si almost fell off the horse after grabbing the whip. The girl doesn't have solid legs and feet, and she can't do it.And it will take at least ten or eight years to develop such a foundation. Meiniang is also considered to be from a family of poetry and calligraphy. She only learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Will the parents of the Qin family let her practice this?
