Huai'an gave up showing him the injury, lowered his head and listened to the scolding again, he was angry with a small fight on weekdays, he occasionally contradicted, but Meng Hongxian was really angry, he was still afraid.

What's more, there is Siqing beside him and scolding him, and the confrontation will only double Meng Hongxian's anger.

He suffered silently, but Cheng Yiheng couldn't stand it, and despite the housekeeper around him, he had to step forward and say a few words.

Seeing him coming over again, Huai'an wanted to turn around and kneel for him, this uncle, don't you realize that the more you talk, the more chaotic it becomes?

But seeing Cheng Yiheng angrily walked to the middle of the courtyard, threw down his sleeves, not only to say, but also started a tirade, sentence by sentence against Meng Hongxian, first questioning that it was wrong for him not to allow his daughter to learn painting, and then reprimanding him indiscriminately, this matter was obviously excusable for a reason, but he did not forgive; and finally threatened him that he could not punish the two of them, otherwise a patrol battalion would be sent to arrest him.

Meng Hongxian waited patiently for him to finish, and only replied: "This is a family matter of the Meng family, and outsiders have no way to interfere." ”

"Master Meng, I'm not an ordinary outsider, don't forget who my father is, don't say that your Meng family, even the entire Xuncheng, he can manage it. ”

"Meng wants to punish the two of them, not only to punish, but also to punish heavily, if Cheng Gongzi is not used to it, he can go and get an arrest warrant to arrest Meng. ”

Huai'an glanced up at Cheng Yiheng, if he didn't understand that although this person was straightforward but righteous, he would have thought that what he said today was deliberate.

"Don't think I don't dare......" Cheng Yiheng still said.

Cheng Quan pulled him back in a panic: "Son, don't make trouble, have you forgotten that the master was fined for three months because of you?"

Cheng Yiheng was stunned, his heart was empty, and then he shut up.

When Huai'an heard this, he realized that Master Cheng had been punished, so it was no wonder that he had to clean up Cheng Yiheng in such a move.

Although he didn't know about the affairs of the court, he was an official, and he occasionally appeared when people held banquets in the officialdom, and he knew that behind the punishment, it was inevitable to be reprimanded, and he might even cut off some privileges.

Forgetting his situation like this, he looked sideways and asked, "Why was he fined for leading a horse out, and what does it have to do with the imperial court?"

Cheng Yiheng pursed his mouth and didn't answer, Cheng Quan explained for him: "It's not about leading the horse, it's the last time the son used the patrol camp in the name of the master to help the noble house find a child, which caused a bad impact, although the child was not found, but my son-in-law did his best to take the risk, Master Meng, why do you want to be angry at the son?"

After hearing this, Huai'an immediately threw a grateful look at Cheng Yiheng, secretly saying that it was righteous enough.

"Is the patrol camp your own private?" Meng Hongxian obviously didn't think about righteousness, he knew the stakes well, this matter was not a big deal, as long as no one pursued it, at most he would bear some people's complaints, but if someone was targeted, it could also be a big crime.

Although Lord Cheng was not convicted of a major crime, he was obviously punished, but Cheng Yiheng moved this private right because of his Meng family, so in this way, the responsibility lies with the Meng family.

But going back again, the responsibility is not actually in the Meng family in the Xiang family, but in the Xiang family, it is Siqing.

So, from face to responsibility, as well as possible crises in the future, Meng Hongxian's anger increased again, and he couldn't help but sprinkle it on Siqing, turning his head and looking at her angrily.

But the thoughts of this responsibility can't be vented out, otherwise it will seem that he is a child, so he only grabbed the matter of painting for Fang Cai, counted it again, and roared angrily: "Since you came to the Meng family, there has not been a day of peace, you are simply ...... It's just a fulfillment of the monk's words, it's a disaster!"

"What monk?" Cheng Yiheng wanted to interject again, but Cheng Quan beside him couldn't wait to cover his mouth, he once again connected a few subordinates, and finally carried people out of the courtyard gate, and then didn't dare to stop, carrying him all the way away from the Meng family.

And the turmoil in the Meng family continues.

Meng Hongxian roared at the two from beginning to end.

After a long time, he finally calmed down, but after the storm, there was a sense of vicissitudes, as if he had seen through the red dust after being extremely disappointed, and his words were suddenly filled with desolation, and finally, he slowly punished: "Huai'an, since you don't want to learn so much, then forget it, you can do whatever you want in the future, I don't care anymore, but if you cause trouble, don't let people find the Meng family." ”

Huai'an Mune nodded.

Although he does what he wants on weekdays, the kind of freedom that is secretly obtained under the constraints of others is different from the freedom obtained by completely letting it go, the former still makes people feel that they are valued, and the latter is completely ignored.

It's not a good feeling, but it's good that he can't accept it.

Meng Hongxian said again: "Siqing, I will discuss with your grandmother and find you another family as soon as possible, before that, you stay in the backyard, and you can't come out without permission." ”

Siqing was shocked, is the marriage going to happen again?

This time, she didn't want to be arranged again.

She couldn't nod like Huai'an, and she said in horror, "I don't want to get married." ”

"It's a matter of time, you should have been married, this matter is not negotiable. Meng Hongxian showed some tiredness and didn't want to say more.

Ke Siqing didn't "let go" him this time, she clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and she said word by word: "I, no, marry!"

"I can't help you. The other party only had four words.

But it made her instantly helpless.

Huai'an wanted to speak for her, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Meng Hongxian: "Take care of yourself first." ”

He had to keep his mouth shut, and those who couldn't protect themselves would only get more and more wrong the more they talked.

At a loss, Siqing remembered that her uncle-in-law Xiang Zhihua had reminded her when he was leaving, that in the Meng family, she should rely on the old lady, and now that she thinks about it, if she obeys, there may be someone to speak for her now.

However, she did not embark on this path in the first place, and now she has no way to remedy it.

Even if it could be remedied, it was the path she didn't want to take.

She lowered her eyes sadly, caught a glimpse of a blue shadow in her afterglow, and suddenly her heart tightened, and she aimlessly grabbed the straw to save her.

In addition to the old lady, there should be one more person in the Meng family who can speak.

She gritted her teeth, put all her hope on it, gently pulled the blue shadow of the trouser hem, and slowly looked up at him.

Meng Ting'an noticed the movement, lowered his head, and looked at her, the other side had reddish eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was begging, while the other side, as if he was in the sky, his eyes were foggy.

Meng Ting'an didn't seem to figure out what was going on, and he didn't understand Siqing's intention of dragging him.

Siqing went out and said, "Third brother, help me." ”

Sure enough, this opening provoked Meng Hongxian again, and he said: "Ting'an, it has nothing to do with you, don't be nosy." ”

Meng Tingan glanced back and forth between the two of them.

Siqing held her breath and waited for his reply, secretly clenching her hands, her nails almost embedded in her flesh.

After a while, Ting An looked at Meng Hongxian and gently spit out a word: "Oh." ”

Siqing was suddenly deflated, closed her eyes, and then opened her eyes to look ahead, as if shrouded in a thick fog.

"Let's all go. Meng Hongxian said.

The three words that don't hurt or itch are a foregone conclusion.

Siqing got up slowly, staggered, and Huai'an helped her.

He thought that since there was no turning point in this matter, he could only comfort him in another way.

It's a pity that he was the one who caused her.

He said softly and helplessly: "Maybe this time...... The husband you have found is a very good man. ”

She looked at him sideways, her expression stunned.

After a moment, he said coldly, "What if it's not good?"

"If it's not good...... Then I'm going to fight someone again, I'm ...... anyway It's a fighter. ”

At least in the eyes of the Meng family, yes.

The subordinates each came to claim their masters, a few small servants came forward to ask Huai'an to go back, Xiu'e also took Siqing, and there were four or five small servants and two or three maids next to them, walking towards Meng Ting'an.

Meng Ting'an's eyes flickered a few times, he didn't go with them, he seemed to have made great effort, bowed to Meng Hongxian, and said, "Father, I have something to report to you." ”

Those who were about to leave stopped.

But Meng Ting'an took a deep breath and said, "I'm in France, and I didn't learn decoration." ”

"What?" Meng Hongxian didn't seem to hear clearly, "Then what did you learn?"

Meng Tingan pursed his lips and said with a heart: "Western painting." ”

"You...... What are you talking about?" Meng Hongxian froze, "West ...... Western paintings?" his words trembled, as if he could not speak.

"Yes!" this time Meng Tingan nodded solemnly.

"You ......" Meng Hongxian jumped up suddenly, and was about to grab a chair again, this time there was no chair at hand, when he was looking for it, Pan Lanfang's eyes quickly blocked him, and he was desperately not allowed to use tools to smash people again.

He couldn't do anything, so he had to continue yelling: "Do you know why I sealed the pen, do you know, Western painting, you dare to learn Western painting, you two by one...... Anger me, you ......"

Suddenly, his breath was blocked in his heart, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were extremely dark, and he shouted with all his strength: "My Meng family's porcelain painting is resting, resting!"

Then he "popped" and fell straight to the ground.

The crowd hurriedly surrounded them, crying and crying, and calling the doctor to the doctor, and it was a mess.

Three days later.

Siqing was grounded in the backyard according to her words, waiting for the notice when she would get married again.

A few old stewards in Huai'an Courtyard were removed, he no longer had to listen to nagging, and no one cared about his daily entry and exit, but he was reluctant to go out.

Meng Tingan didn't know what to do with it, and rarely came out in his yard. He didn't need Mr. He's guidance, so Mr. He and the Meng family resigned and resigned from Mr.

The Meng family has been very lonely these days.

Cheng Yiheng sent someone to Huai'an to reply to a letter, and sure enough, Cheng burned the painting he bought again, and he burned his face in order to save the painting, so he didn't come out for the time being.

Huai'an replied: "Okay, then you can stay at home honestly, don't come out and scare people." ”

Everyone seems to be in a predicament, not being free and not seeing the light of day.

After another five or six days, Xiu'e said to Siqing: "The master can get out of bed." ”

Siqing nodded: "That's good." ”

Xiu'e said again: "The master has lifted your grounding and let you go to the main courtyard at night." ”

She was startled and got up in a panic: "So fast...... Are you going to be married again?"
