concubine leisurely

Chapter 145

Two years later, in late spring.On the official road from Tai'an to the capital, a large carriage with a simple appearance and a comfortable interior dangled leisurely. In the carriage, Zhong Shi, who had been dressed in auspicious clothes, complained, "It's so slow." Fly back to the capital and see your children and grandchildren soon.

Meng Lai across from her was still dressed in plain clothes, reclining on the couch and taking a nap.He opened his eyes when he heard Zhong's words, and said mockingly, "Slow down. I have old arms and legs, but I can't stand the bumps anymore, so my wife will accompany me to calm down." Zhong saw her husband's expression Heyue, don't be bothered anymore, "Then let me talk to the master." Otherwise, this journey will be boring to death.

"Okay." Meng Lai agreed.The Zhong family excitedly talked about the sons and daughters in Beijing, "Xin'er gave birth to a big fat boy, and finally she has a son, don't worry!" It’s alright.” Anyway, it’s a good thing, after the excitement, Zhong said angrily, “At that time, I said to keep my good sisters, but the master let them take them back to the capital. No, we are left alone Yes, there is not even a child around, how deserted."

Meng Lai smiled, "If we went back to the capital and left Yueer with my grandparents, my wife might be willing to do it?" It's best for children to follow their parents.Grandparents are separated after all.

Even though he was talking about what happened in the past, Zhong Shi was startled and shook his hands again and again, "Leave me, Yue'er, that's impossible!" This rural place is remote and desolate, and Yue'er left her parents and lived here. Distressed to death.

That's not the end, "Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do." Meng Lai thought the conversation was over, and closed his eyes to rest.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong said with great interest, "I don't know how Yueer is doing in Guangzhou? Master, you can find a way to let Yueer return to the capital and let her parents-in-law return to Guangzhou."

Meng Lai didn't speak for a long time, Zhong thought he was asleep, and pushed him, "Master?" Meng Lai was helpless, "It's easy to let Yue'er go back to Beijing; Yue'er is pregnant now, and when the child is born, If you are older, you can go back; it will be difficult for her in-laws to go back to Guangzhou. Madam, let me think about it."

Mrs. Zhong hugged Meng Lai's arm and said, "Even Lao Ba's house girl, you are worried about her! Why did you get to Yue Er and never thought about it?" She was already feeling uncomfortable about Meng Yiran's matter. So, just because she looks like Yanran, can this lowly outsider girl soar into the sky?Being forced by Meng Lai to recognize her adoptive daughter, she has had good food and tea to raise her for more than two years, and she has to back up the dowry to send her to marry, Zhong's heart is furious.

Meng Lai started to have a headache, and asked Yueran's parents-in-law to return to Guangzhou. Was that something that could be done immediately?How difficult is it? Do you know?He patted Zhong's back lightly and comforted him, "It's really difficult. Allow me some time." Zhong confessed again and again, "Master must think about it seriously." Meng Lai agreed again and again, Fang After a while of peace, I slept in the car for half an hour.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhong remembered an unhappy incident, and pulled Meng Lai to talk, "How can you be promoted to Jinan prefect by three ranks in a row with uncle? The master is still in the same position. It's really maddening." The Meng family brothers have The name of virtuous and filial piety was awarded by the emperor's decree. After the filial piety period expired, Meng Yun easily found a fat vacancy in the prefect of Jinan, and Meng Lai was still the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Meng Lai was too lazy to say anything, and only coaxed her with nice words.Meng Yun was born in Juren, his official career has been unsuccessful, and he could only be the magistrate of a small county. Now, taking advantage of his fame, he seeks a job as a magistrate, just for the sake of face. Originally, he planned to serve only one term, three terms Years later, he retired and returned to Tai'an for the elderly.It's just that if you explain this to Zhong, it will take a long time, and Meng Lai doesn't want to bother anymore.

Meng Lai's original job was a servant, and he was promoted to Shangshu. Is a Shangshu easy to do?Worry and bother.Meng Lai went through an accident, and after more than two years of competing with Meng Yiran, he was so tired that he didn't even want to get back together. He just wanted to go home to have fun with his grandson, and let him dedicate himself to the country and the people. It's impossible. .

Meng Lai half-closed his eyes, held his wife in his arms and coaxed her softly, no matter what she complained about, it was the words "I don't want to do this anymore", "Relax your heart", "Be good, be obedient." Zhong listened to her husband coaxing her like a child I was so happy, I snuggled into my husband's arms and fell asleep soundly.

Before I knew it, I had arrived in the suburbs of Beijing.The two brothers Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian were already waiting on the official road to take them back to the mansion. After meeting, they would fall to the ground and cry loudly, and they would be cold and warm after saying goodbye.When the group returned to Meng's house, Ji Yun and Zhong Wei took the children to welcome them out, saluted and greeted each other. When Meng Lai and Zhong saw their grandchildren, they all smiled happily. The family was harmonious and happy.

Meng Zhengyu and Zhong Ling arrived the next day, and when they met each other, they saluted respectfully, calling them "Second Uncle, Second Aunt." Now that she is the new daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Zhong Le took off a bracelet and gave Zhong Ling a greeting gift.a bracelet?It's too short, Meng Lai looked dissatisfied.Zhong thought about it for a while, and pulled a gold hairpin from her head, and Meng Lai's face became better.

Around noon, the front of Meng's house became lively, An Ran, You Ran, and Xin Ran each brought their children back to their natal homes. "I don't know how soon I'll be here, and I don't know if my father is in a hurry?" Meng Lai scolded fiercely in his heart. When he really saw his daughter and grandson and granddaughter, he became a kind-hearted and kind elder, especially for him. Looking at his grandchildren, he can only laugh and coax, no matter how naughty the children are, he is reluctant to say a serious word.

The Zhong family never paid much attention to the children of concubines, but seeing that Zhang Qing was born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, a head taller than boys of the same age, he couldn't help but pat his head to show affection, "This child, looks like It's really strong." Zhang Qing was used to being touched by women, so he didn't take it seriously, smiled politely at Zhong, and ran out to play alone.

He took a small bow and arrow to shoot sparrows. "How about playing with bow and arrow for him when he's only three years old?" Meng Lai asked Youran.You Ran had no choice but to discuss with Zhang Qing, "Don't play bow and arrow anymore, how about playing with a slingshot?" Zhang Qing replied loudly, "Yes!" Playing moves on the ground, Meng Lai and Youran watched from the sidelines.

"Don't worry, Fu Feng and the others are all good at fighting skills, and they are looking at him without blinking." Leisurely smiled.Safety is guaranteed, okay?Meng Lai glared at her, "As a parent, don't be careless." He always felt that Leisurely raised his children carelessly.

Zhang Qing had had enough of playing, and ran to Youran to hug her, but Youran refused, "You're already big, okay, you're a big boy." Meng Lai blew his beard in anger, "What's wrong with you hugging the child? When you were young How old are you still clamoring for daddy to hug you?"

You Ran was very helpless to this protective grandfather, "Father, I really can't hug him. He did it on purpose, you know, he actually didn't let me hug him a long time ago." Why is this child like this, he is usually not allowed to hug him, Huang Xin As soon as I told him, "Don't let your mother hug you in the future. Your mother is pregnant with a little brother, so you can't hold a child." But he ran to Youran every now and then to hug you.Can it be understood that he is purely jealous?

"When the little one is born, I don't know if the two will fight." Lei Ran said casually.Meng Lai smiled and said, "No! It must be brother and friend." It turned out that Youran didn't hug Zhang Qing because she was pregnant again. Meng Lai was not angry when she knew the reason, and only hoped that Youran would have another son.The legitimate son is the daughter's support for the rest of her life.

Like Zhong, she will be happy and happy for the rest of her life.Without him, the two sons-in-law are filial, how can life not go well.The rest of a woman's life is for her son.

Leisurely did not comment on Dad's remarks.Talk about him from left to right, and talk about gossip.Zhang Qing ran to get a bamboo horse and rode across the yard again, "Slow down, don't fall." Meng Lai ran behind him for a while, sweating all over, but couldn't keep up with him.

Leisurely smiled and Mimi watched.If you want to say that the elderly still need to see their grandchildren and exercise more.She didn't laugh for a long time, Zhang Bingxia rushed over, stopped Zhang Qing and scolded him, "Look how tired your grandfather is?"

Then Meng Lai coaxed Zhang Qing away, and when he came back, he covered Zhang He's head and face and scolded him to vent his anger on his precious grandson.You Ran wanted to slip away quietly, but Meng Lai saw it with sharp eyes, "You'er is back!" The husband and wife were scolded together.

"Pathetic father," said leisurely to Zhang afterward, "it must be a long time since no one let him scold him." It's been a good day today, and it's a pleasure to train others.

Zhang Bing felt that his wife's words made sense, "Father-in-law is alone in the country, and no one is with him for the elderly; it will be better in the future, with so many grandchildren." You Ran despised her husband's understanding in her heart, and couldn't grasp the point!Dad doesn't know how to train his grandchildren when he trains people, okay? How could he be willing?He will only catch his son and daughter for training, plus a son-in-law like Zhang Bing.
