concubine leisurely

Chapter 51

Mother Liu stood sideways with a respectful face, feeling uneasy in her heart.Mrs. Tai has always doted on young girls, and she came here on orders to tell the messy things in Meng Zhai these days. Mrs. Tai, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, was already face sinking, but she didn't know how she would make a decision.

Mrs. Wang is Zhong Zhen's elder sister-in-law. She watched her grow up and loved her since she was a child. Mrs. Tai never kept secrets from her about Zhong Zhen's affairs. feel sorry for her.

"Brother Xuan, brother Xian, don't go back to Meng's house these days," Mrs. Tai said slowly, "And sister Xin, we must take care of it, don't let people calculate it."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly replied, "Yes!" Mrs. Tai looked a little tired, and waved her hand and said, "Go back, as long as you take care of your brothers and sisters, the rest is trivial. You must take care of your brothers and sisters! Also, what should I do?" Keep your wife's affairs a secret from her, don't let her worry too much, persuade your wife more, let her suppress her temper first, and don't twist with my uncle. "

Madam Liu respectfully agreed, and saw that Mrs. Tai was already closing her eyes and resting her mind. Although she still wanted to say something, she didn't dare to speak again. Seeing that Mrs. Wang signaled her to back down, she had to bow respectfully and back out.He greeted the old sisters outside the door, went to Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Lu to say hello, and then went back to Meng's mansion.

Mrs. Tai closed her eyes and rested for a while, then slowly opened her eyes, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, sick?Ugly?Go out to worship Buddha every five days?Only Zhen'er, that silly boy, can believe it!The youngest son-in-law has always been his favorite, he is handsome and caring for his wife and children. Even if he takes a concubine, he is forced by the old lady Meng. Who would have thought that he would fall in love with beauty in middle age and deceive Zhen'er like this.

But even if he deceives Zhen'er, what can he do?If he really attacked his concubine, he was afraid that his relationship with Zhen'er would become weaker.

Mrs. Wang personally brought the teacup over and served Mrs. Tai to drink tea. After all, Mrs. Tai was old and emotionally fragile, and smiled wryly at Mrs. Wang, "I was afraid that she would suffer hardships, so I chose the Meng family after thousands of choices, and it turned out to be like this. "

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "Mother, don't think so. Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and there are three poor relatives in the court. It's nothing if my sister-in-law's family has a few relatives who don't care. As long as the children are successful, Husband and wife love each other, and the rest are trivial matters, not worth anything."

"Love between husband and wife? Can she be regarded as love between husband and wife like this?" Mrs. Tai couldn't accept the betrayal of her young son-in-law in middle age.Thinking back when Zhong Zhen first married, until Meng Zhengxian was born, Meng Lai didn't even have a housemate, and lived with Zhong Zhen with one heart and one mind.Fortunately, now, I will help the little goblin to lie to his wife.

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Mother, think about it, if you really don't care about the relationship between husband and wife, I'm afraid you will love the concubine's room in a fair and reasonable way. What if you are a little girl like that?" Like Zhong Yuan, who loves Aunt Rui so much, what can he do?Don't you just endure it?

Mrs. Tai hammered the bed and was furious, "He dares!" Without the support of the Zhong family, would Meng Lai be where he is today?He is a side branch of the Meng family in Tai'an, and he has been out of five clothes with the direct branch, and he is no longer close, and he is not much better than ordinary people. If there is no Marquis of Ji'an, how could his official career be so smooth!Now that the wings are hardened, it is necessary to learn from the romantic literati who loves concubines and neglects the first wife. How can there be such a good thing.

Mrs. Wang persuaded, "Don't be like this, mother. If you are angry with mother, it will be worth more. My brother-in-law is not an ungrateful person. When he was released as the magistrate, how many people fawned on him and gave him beautiful concubines, but he never confiscated any of them. Then Aunt Huang, who pretended to be sick, was not sent by my mother? These years, my brother-in-law has grown bigger and bigger, and there are still those few people in the room, and there is no one and a half more. This is where my brother-in-law knows the etiquette."

Mrs. Tai also calmed down when she heard the words. Didn't Huang Xin send it there by herself?Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I am old and useless, and I can't think of anything." Mrs. Wang said distressedly, "You just love my little sister too much. Once you hear that my little sister is suffering, you can't care about anything."

Mrs. Tai smiled wryly and said, "Zhen'er is a silly child, she is almost 40 years old, and she still only has men in her heart. How can she compare with young and beautiful people now? I'm afraid she will have to suffer in the future."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and said, "Mother think about it, my brother-in-law is willing to go to such great lengths to lie to my little sister, it is because he still has a little sister in his heart, and cares about her; just don't worry, mother, my brother-in-law is a man of success, and he will definitely do it." Giving face to my first wife won't make my younger sister sad."

If a man is willing to lie to you, that's not the worst thing. The fear is that he won't even lie to you, and he won't even bother to lie to you.

If a man is willing to try his best to lie to you, he still has you in his heart.If you can lie to you for the rest of your life, heh, you are really lucky.

Mrs. Tai nodded, "That makes sense." She chatted with Mrs. Wang a few more times, and asked, "Is Yu's daughter-in-law still quiet?"

Mrs. Wang had a worried expression on her face, "Yes, there is still no movement." She was really worried. The eldest son is 28 years old, but he has not yet had a boy and a half girl. Seeing that Lu Shi is also in good health, he has no children for some reason , There are also several concubines in the room, but it is useless.

Mrs. Tai sighed, "I think Yu'er's sons and daughters are not well-known, so you take his wife to offer more incense sticks. I only hope that the Buddha will show mercy, and my Zhong family will have a future soon."

Mrs. Wang agreed in a low voice, and waited for a while before she retreated to the hall to deal with matters.

Mother Liu went back to Meng's house, bit the bullet and told Mrs. Tai's words. Zhong was stunned for a while, and cried loudly, "Mother is really cruel! I only care about grandchildren and granddaughters, and my daughter doesn't care?"

Mama Liu coaxed Mrs. Zhong distressedly, that it is good for Mrs. to be careful, but her mind is too simple, she doesn't have any wrists, and she won't use any tricks. The wives and aunts took it.

Zhong thought that her husband would be separated in half, and had been sleeping with her aunt these days, crying and crying aggrievedly, and at night, tired from crying, she lay down on the couch to rest, but in the dimness, she felt that someone came to the couch, gently gaze at her.

Could it be a dream?Zhong rubbed her eyes, it was really Meng Lai, she threw herself into Meng Lai's arms and cried, "You still know how to come back?"

Meng Lai held her in his arms and comforted her softly. After coaxing her for a long time, Zhong stopped crying, and the husband and wife began to talk carefully. "That's all for those two girls who were born. Even if I don't go, they don't dare to say anything, and no one in the house makes decisions for them. But Auntie Ding has to go. If she doesn't go, the old lady will not follow her. Madam said yes? Madam, don’t worry, my aunt is just my aunt, and I can’t surpass my wife.”

Although Zhong Shi was still reluctant to reduce the reduction from fifteen days to five days, she also felt that it was a pleasant surprise. She nodded and agreed, and Meng Lai whispered in her ear, "Auntie Ding is a relative of the old lady's family. Why does the wife bother to beat and punish the old lady to make the old lady unhappy? Even those two maids are born, and they are always obedient and obedient. Wouldn’t it be nice for the wife to treat them kindly? Not for anything else, but also think about the two daughters. Ma'am, our family is friendly, okay?"

Mrs. Zhong heard that Meng Lai's words meant that she had no affection for the three aunts, either caring about the old lady or the concubine daughter, she was very happy, and she generously agreed not to trouble Aunt Ding in the future, but to treat the two maids from family backgrounds favorably. The aunt who gave birth to a concubine.As long as they live in peace and contentment regardless of their husband's doting, let them live freely.

Meng Lai embraced Zhong Shi in his arms, and said softly, "Good wife." Zhong's face was beating with enthusiasm, confused and fascinated, and all the troubles of these days disappeared.

Seeing Meng Lai staying in the main room, Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief the next day, with Zhong's face charming and refreshed.So he didn't pay much attention to Zhong's side, and only cared about taking Xinran seriously.

Girls, you can't make a wrong step.There are some people with ulterior motives living in the house, Miss Liu must be extremely careful.

Madam Liu tightened her grip, and she took the children of the Zhong family strictly. Not only the sixth girl was happy, but even the two boys did not dare to relax. No matter how to go back to Meng's mansion, even if I go back, I hurried to Xuanrui hall to say hello and then left, never giving Hu Xiaoli a chance.

Such relatives, alas, when will they leave?Mother Liu resented.

While Mama Liu was working hard, Meng Youran was still on vacation leisurely.

"Ayou, the old lady and wife in your family are very tolerant to you." Shui Bingxin was a little puzzled, but Ayu was picked up reluctantly after only a few days of living. It's all up to me, it's really unnatural for Ayou, a concubine, to be able to play outside for so long.

"My old lady, what's wrong, her natal nephew is a bit out of tune, and stopped me from talking in the garden, and my father kicked him out, and she couldn't bear the nephew's family to leave. She couldn't bear the nephew's family to leave, and she couldn't do it when I came out to escape the summer There are things to talk about." Lei Ran explained, "My wife, she probably has a guilty conscience, she seems to have done something to offend my father, and now she wishes to go along with my father to make things right, how can she have the time to pay attention to me?" After all , Meng Youran is not an important person, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Zhong don't care much about whether she is in the Meng mansion or outside the mansion.

After leisurely finished speaking, Shui Bingxin nodded, expressing that she understood, a gust of cool wind blew by, Shui Bingxin didn't know what she was thinking, and her face was a bit disappointed.

Leisurely's heart moved, why did Shui Bingxin live in another courtyard for so long?Although she is free and undisciplined, she is a single girl after all, so it is not normal for her to leave the house alone like this.

Of course Leisurely would not ask, she is not a child anymore, she may not have other demeanor, it is still possible to not pry into other people's secrets and respect other people's privacy.

No matter how good a friend is, keep a distance.intimate?Please do not.

Shui Shangshu and Meng Lai had a good understanding. On the day of Xiumu, they went to Ruoshui Villa one after the other. They saw that their daughter hadn't turned dark or thin, her face was ruddy, and she was full of smiles. Playing chess, fishing, boating, and mountain climbing in the other courtyard were a lot of fun.

"It's getting late, if Dad wants to go back to the city, he should go back earlier." Said leisurely and considerately.Although Meng Lai loves her, he is in control, and Youran is actually pushing her away.

On vacation, what you want is to be free, with an old man dictating, how can people play?
"I won't come back." Meng Lai said with a smile.

Leisurely was dumbfounded, Xiu Mu, isn't it all a day?Shouldn't you be back in town for work the next day?
Seeing her stupid look, Meng Lai was amused, and scratched her little nose, "It's a custom in this dynasty that summer rests and Mu sees that the yamen is busy for two or three days. The yamen has nothing to do these days, and my father will return tomorrow." You can rest again."

Shui Shangshu also said with a smile, "The old man is too. You can rest for another day. I will play with the two girls for one more day."

You Ran hugged Meng Lai's arm and felt bored, she would still be under strict control tomorrow, Meng Lai seemed to know what she was thinking, seeing her bored, he smiled even more heartily.

He must have done it on purpose!Thinking leisurely bitterly.Suddenly feeling narrow-minded, I found someone who had no chance to lie in Menglai’s ear secretly and asked, “Is the fast food at Niangniang Temple delicious?” In fact, I wanted to ask “Is the Zen room in Niangniang Temple comfortable to sleep in?” In any case, I dare not ask such a question, if I really ask, I am afraid that it will be useless to pretend to pass out, there will be a good beating.

Meng Lai was not surprised that You Ran could guess it, shook his head and said, "We don't eat vegetarian food at Niangniang Temple."

If you don't eat vegetarian food at Niangniang Temple, where should you eat?Leisurely asked with his eyes.

Meng Lai just smiled and didn't answer, but the expression on his face was a little weird.

Next to the Niangniang Temple is the courtyard of Meng Lai's private house. He leisurely thought of a possibility, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that she cooks by herself?" Huang Xin's cooking, haha, is very special.

A woman who can embroider to the extreme must be ingenious and handy, but when she cooks food, there is neither color nor smell, and it is extremely unpalatable.

However, she has no self-knowledge and loves to cook. When she was in Guangzhou, whenever Huang Xin went to the kitchen in high spirits, she would run away leisurely, and Meng Lai would find an excuse to escape with two chopsticks.

Could it be that for the sake of cheating, even this kind of food can be tolerated?Leisurely opened his eyes wide.

"I don't let her do it, she just wants to do it. Seeing how excited she is, let her do it." We haven't been together for a few months, so I really think hard about it. After we are happy, Huang Xin will cook for him. I had no choice but to pinch my nose and take a few mouthfuls. Alas, the most difficult thing to bear is the grace of a beauty.

Leisurely smiled and bent over.

Meng Lai feigned anger and dragged You Ran to spank her buttocks. The father and daughter made a fuss, and You Ran's silver bell-like laughter spread far away.

Luohu Villa sent the nanny in charge to say hello, knowing that Shui Shangshu and Meng Lai will stay overnight, and will stay for another day tomorrow, she said happily, "That's good, my general is going to hunt tomorrow, if the two adults are interested, why don't you go together ?”

Before Shui Shangshu and Meng Lai answered, Youran's eyes lit up, and he looked at Meng Lai earnestly, and Meng Lai murmured, "I'm not good at hunting..."

You Ran was in a hurry, fearing that Meng Lai would refuse, the nurse in charge smiled and said, "If my lord goes, there will be someone waiting for me, the two lords should just go and relax."

Meng Lai and Shui Shangshu looked at each other and nodded, "Then there will be trouble."

The nanny in charge, surnamed Li, was very eloquent, and said courteously, "The two adults can go, but it's a wish. It's best for the two girls to go together."

Shui Bingxin smiled and said, "Thank you Mammy for your kindness. Bing Xin is weak and inconvenient to travel, please don't blame Mammy."

Youran knew that Shui Bingxin was worried about the inconvenience of the girl's family, and was afraid that Menglai would not allow her to go by herself, so she looked at Menglai anxiously: Shui Bingxin is a big girl, and I am still a child!
Meng Lai looked at You Ran's pitiful little eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse, but asked, "You didn't bring riding clothes."

Mother Li smiled and said, "It's okay. The thirteenth girl of my family has a riding outfit here. The thirteenth girl is about the same size as the Fifth Miss Meng. Wouldn't it be just right for Miss Meng to wear the thirteenth girl's riding outfit?"

Ah Ji has riding clothes here?Great!Leisurely smiled and rolled his eyes.

Nanny Li smiled and said goodbye. After a while, a maid from Luohu Mountain Villa brought over riding clothes, a set of bright red and a set of sky blue, and she happily tried them on. Hey, just right, isn't Zhang Tianxin a little fatter than herself?

Maybe it was her riding clothes before. She must have been a little thinner than now, and she was growing taller.

On the second day, he leisurely followed Shui Shangshu and Meng Lai to hunt.It was said to be hunting, but in fact it was just riding the same horse with Meng Lai, watching the scenery and seeing the excitement.

Seeing the vigorous posture of the soldiers in the army riding tall horses galloping in the hunting ground, watching them shoot their prey with one arrow, leisurely applauding vigorously, Meng Lai anxiously behind her, "Girl, sit still." Girl, she wasn't even half quiet, she was laughing and making noise.

"Dad, look, Brother Zhang is so powerful." Youran shouted excitedly as she saw Zhang Bing shot a leopard, pulling Meng Lai.Seeing him "catching the flying cat with his hands up, leaning over to scatter the horse's hooves", he is really "swifter than monkeys and apes, brave like leopards"!Cao Zhi's poetry is really good, vivid!Zhang Bing's skills are so handsome!
At dusk, when the hunt was over, I watched enviously and enviously all the athletes in the army were riding on horses and singing songs, and they were full of prey immediately, which was very eye-catching.
