Chapter 50: The Meng Family

"Madam, you have a precious body, why are you angry for that slut? Mama Qi patted her quilt on the side and gave her a good breath.

Li Jiayi saw that the fire was almost over, and then said: "Mama Qi is right, mother doesn't have to be angry for them, there will be no more than a few days left and right in Songtao Courtyard." ”

Li Jiazhi heard the sound outside the strings, and before Wang could speak, he rushed to say: "Brother, do you mean that you want to use that ugly monster to deal with Li Yuanxiang?" Li Jiazhi has been instilled by the people around him since he was sensible that Zhang's mother and son are not good people and want to rob him of the concept of the second brother's son, so from childhood to adulthood, he has regarded Zhang's mother and son as enemies, and has always called the eldest son's name in private.

Hearing the words "ugly and weird", Li Jiayi frowned for no reason, and a trace of displeasure floated in her heart.

"Brother, did I say the wrong thing?" Li Jiazhi noticed his expression and asked cautiously. He really didn't know what he had just said that made him unhappy.

Li Jiayi also felt that his reaction was a little inexplicable, he didn't have the heart to delve into it, just rubbed his eyebrows and said casually, "It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little tired." Putting down his hand, he continued to talk about the topic and said: "Songtao Courtyard has been proud for all these years, and he must not give up if he suddenly suffers such a big loss, and this sister-in-law of yours is the new one..." However, this subtle expression did not escape Li Jiazhi's eyes, and he was silently worried in his heart, was his brother stupid by the two brothers and sisters of the Situ family last night?

Fortunately, Li Jiayi's next words were clearly organized, and her expression was no longer abnormal, so Li Jiayi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This sister-in-law of yours is also a grudge, and it's okay for Songtao Yuan to endure this breath, if you want to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, just wait to be uprooted by the Situ family. We don't have to do anything, just wait and see Zhang's mother and son kill themselves. Li Jiayi spoke plainly with a kind of natural certainty, which made people involuntarily convinced. Wang and Li Jiazhi also knew that he had no last resort, and never questioned what he said.

So when Situ Ningbing returned from Li Shuning's courtyard to the east courtyard of Nong Yuxuan, where she was temporarily staying, the servants and maids she married were all returned. Mama Qi stood at the door of the East Cross Courtyard and welcomed her into the bright room, and said with a smile: "The young lady is back, Madame ordered the slave maid to send back several grandmothers and a number of maids and servants you married, and the slave and maid took it upon themselves to place the servants and maids you married." In addition, the twenty singing and dancing girls you married have been placed in the music workshop in the mansion, where there are some maids and daughters, and they can learn from each other when they go. Mama Qi helped Situ Ningbing sit down on the Arhat bed in the bright room, personally took the teacup offered by the maid and handed it to Situ Ningbing, watched her take a sip of the tea lid, and then continued: "As for the grandmothers from the palace, although they came with you to marry, they are all nobles of good grades, and Madame did not dare to slack off, and specially ordered another small courtyard to send a few more subordinates to serve these grandmothers. And that Meng family..."She paused and looked at Situ Ningbing's expression carefully, "She is a genius girl who is famous all over the world, a first-class nobleman, and a person who even His Majesty respects, how many Houmen families are vying to invite her to come over the house as a guest and have not moved, and now that the light of the young lady has come to our house, Mrs. naturally wants to treat her as a guest, and now she is living in Liufangtang." ”

Situ Ningbing listened to her quietly, and when he heard the three words of Liufangtang, he slowly put the tea cup in his hand on the low table of the pear blossom wood carving Four Seasons Begonia pattern, and raised his eyebrows and looked at Mama Qi: "Liufangtang? I passed by a courtyard when I came out of the courtyard of the third lady today, and it seems to be called this name." ”

Mama Qi was a little weak by her, and laughed dryly twice: "The young lady has a good memory, Liufangtang is not in front of the third lady's Baoyue Xuan." ”

Situ Ningbing said with a smile: "It's hard for Mrs. to think thoughtfully." ”

Mama Qi's face turned red, and she didn't dare to answer, so she could only smile awkwardly.

Wang was reminded by Li Jiayi that he didn't care about Situ Ningbing for the time being, after all, the eldest son was the deepest thorn in her heart, but this did not prevent her from taking advantage of her daughter-in-law.

The Wang family was born in a famous family with a sense of pride, and she looked down on the property of the gold, silver and jewelry estate, and she didn't bother to occupy it, but who is the Meng family? The title of the world's number one genius girl alone is rare enough, but what is even rarer is that the origin of her name is not touted by those vassal and elegant literati and Qing Ke, but by the imperial seal, which she earned by relying on a few amazing articles and a great cause.

It is said that in the later years of the first emperor, corruption and fraud were commonplace, and officials formed parties for personal gain, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and extorted tyranny, and the people complained. The national treasury has been emptied by officials of all sizes, and national politics has reached a point where it is difficult. The father of the Meng family was a doctor from the Sanpin Imperial History at that time, who was loyal and upright, and when he saw the erosion of the government to this point, he spared no effort to collect evidence to crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he offended a lot of powerful people. In the end, when collecting evidence of the crimes of the traitorous minister Yang Silin and his henchmen, he was framed and deceived on trumped-up charges, and ended up beheaded!

The day Meng was taken out of prison was the day when the Meng family came out of the cabinet, and the sedan chair had already been carried into the husband's house, and the heaven and earth high hall had already bowed to the last bow, and the news came at this time, and the husband of the Meng family was afraid of being implicated and wanted to divorce his wife in court regardless of morality! Meng and the family tore up the letter of resignation in anger for a while, picked up the wolf and wrote two identical letters of resignation, threw one of them in the face of the husband, and said a shocking word," Now it's not you who are resting me, but I don't care to be with you and others for treachery, see the wind, and make the rudder of the shameless villain company!" After speaking, he walked out of the happy hall without looking back in front of everyone. When her husband's family came back to their senses and wanted to arrest her and hand her over to Yousi Yamen, the Meng family had disappeared without a trace.

Originally, the Meng family had already left the cabinet, even if they were dismissed, it was also a matter after Lord Meng was convicted, but at that time, in order to curry favor with Yang Xiang, who was in charge of the government, the Criminal Department still issued a sea fishing document to arrest the Meng family, but unfortunately the yamen of the state capitals were busy for a while and did not find any trace of the Meng family. When the Meng family was beheaded, the officials of the various provinces gradually did not take the matter of pursuing the fugitives to heart, after all, a weak female stream was alone in exile, even if she did not die, it was not much better.

A year later, in the Golden Palace, a sixteen-year-old handsome young man Yuan Hao shocked the government and the opposition with a stunning and brilliant strategy, and the first emperor gave him the first name, and then worshiped Yang Xiangmen. After a year of being a bachelor of Hanlin, due to the recommendation of Yang Xiang and the appreciation of the first emperor to the imperial history, and then because of the emptiness of the treasury, the first emperor intended to purge the rule of officials, so he wanted to select an inspector to patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky. Although Yang Xiang controlled the government but could not cover the sky with one hand, there were still many political enemies in the court, and he was deeply afraid that the political enemies would make an inspection so that he could collect evidence of his corruption, fraud, buying and selling officials, and refer to him in front of the first emperor, so he supported his protΓ©gΓ© Yuan Hao as an inspector. I thought it was foolproof, but unexpectedly, a year later, Yuan Hao returned to the court, risked his death to write a letter to Chen Yang Xiang's crimes, the first emperor was shocked and ordered the three divisions to verify the prince's supervision, and after two or three months of busy work, Yuan Hao's piles and piles were all verified, including the unjust case of the Meng family was also turned over, and the first emperor was furious and ordered Yang Xiang to be copied and beheaded by his henchmen and minions one by one. In the same year, Yuan Hao was promoted to the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and a group of honest and capable ministers were selected in the three years of his tenure. The first emperor Jiaqi intended to let him enter the cabinet as a minister, but he didn't know that Yuan Hao wrote a letter overnight to beg the first emperor to punish the crime.

It turned out that this minister of the humerus who purged the government and the opposition and revitalized the dynasty turned out to be Miss Meng, who had been dismissed from the court in those years! The first emperor was amazed and admired, and personally issued a decree to pardon the crime of bullying the Meng family, posthumously crowned his father as the Duke of Zhongguo, and wanted to give the Meng family a marriage and choose another lover to be re-registered with the title of Lady Protector of the Country. Meng refused to accept it, and only said: "The ministers and young people inherit the court training, and the boudoirs are generally clear and distinct, and the martyrs do not marry the second husband, even if they are entrusted to non-people, they do not want to tarnish their names because of him." His Majesty's benevolence and forgiveness of the minister's capital crime, the minister's family has been wronged, and his father Zhi Deshen did not dare to think of the honor anymore, but only wanted to tie his hair and crown, and from now on he traveled the world to spend the rest of his life, and his majesty was fulfilled. ”

When the first emperor heard this, he exclaimed: "Qing Zhen is the first genius woman in the world!" Reading her merits, he was unwilling to be reluctant, so he gave her a thousand acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold, plus a hundred servants in an imperial mansion and let her go.

Since then, this genius woman has become famous all over the world, and everyone respects her, and because she does not marry her, the world respectfully calls her the Meng family. The women in the boudoir are fascinated every time they talk about this Meng family, and even the former queen mother once said: "If you are a woman, what do you want in your life!"

When such a mythical figure arrives at his own house, Wang's mood can be imagined, and he doesn't care about any face, so he will snatch people over first! Since her daughter-in-law, who looks down on her horizontally and vertically, can get the blue eyes of the Meng family, her own daughter, who is many times stronger than her, is naturally not a problem, and after a long time, the two of them will have more contact, and Li Shuning will be able to worship under the door of the Meng family.

The Wang family thought very well, and it was hard for Mama Qi to find a hole to drill under Situ Ningbing's gaze, but she could only force a smile and said: "Young lady, look at this, is it appropriate? If there is anything unsatisfactory, you can do it, and the slave will definitely do it for you." ”

Situ Ningbing didn't speak, stared at her for a long time, and then said lightly: "It's hard work, it's a good arrangement." The last two words were said slowly and logically, and there was a sense of irony in Mama Qi's ears.
