Because he didn't enter the hall at all, he only asked Sheng Weiqiao to help call Meng Guihuan out, this Meng Guiyu was still wearing a mink fur, he deliberately stood in the position of the tuyere, blocking the cold wind for his sister who also hurriedly came out of the fox fur, and said softly: "You will go and tell Miss Sheng San later, the eldest aunt suspects that their Sheng family has something to do with the matter of Bishui County, fortunately, I just heard that the Imperial Doctor of Xinshou Palace Xuan, rushed over to visit, and met the eldest aunt and aunt who said this matter, and vetoed it."

"But you also know our aunt's sex, and I was able to convince her this time because I happened to encounter it. If my aunt thinks about it again, and talks to my aunt when I am not there, maybe my aunt will be persuaded by her again, then I can't do it!"
Meng Guihuan was surprised: "How could the eldest aunt suspect the Sheng family? The Sheng family has always been in Nanfeng County, that is, they are relatively rich! Where do they have the ability to do the things of Bishui County? Besides, they don't know the starling and Rong Qing's drunken pixel, right?"
"I'm afraid that the problem lies in the money!" Meng Guiyu said lightly, "After I dispelled my aunt's suspicion of the Sheng family, what happened to you? My aunt wanted to match me with Miss Sheng San! However, the eldest aunt hinted that I would reject my aunt's kindness -- I thought about it, the Sheng family's current family background is not enough for me to get rid of the eldest aunt and mother and son, and the eldest aunt also understands this, so why did she do this? I'm afraid that she also takes a fancy to Miss Sheng San!"
There was a cold color in his eyes, and he said hesitantly, "It's just that you also know the personality of the eldest aunt, she is the eighth brother's biological son, and the only daughter-in-law has always been the best choice, otherwise the eighth brother is now nineteen, how can he not be married? Although Miss Sheng San's maiden family is rich, her father's and brother's official position is lower!"
The voice was low, "I suspect that the eldest aunt has taken a fancy to the dowry given by the Sheng family to Miss Sheng San, but she doesn't want Miss Sheng San to be the eighth brother's wife, so she wants to involve the affairs of Bishui County with the Sheng family, so as to force the Sheng family to take the initiative to give Miss Sheng San to the eighth brother as a concubine, so that she can have both people and money, and she can keep the position of the eighth brother's wife and marry him with a better family background!"
Meng Guihuan covered his mouth in surprise, and after a while, Wu felt incredible: "There are rules in the country, and officials are not allowed to take a good family as a concubine - although the starling brother has failed to take the children's examination several times because of his poor academic performance, he relies on the eldest uncle and the third brother to also have a shadow seal official position, and he is in this constraint." How is it possible for the eldest aunt to be so calculating?"
"Especially that Sheng Weiqiao's father is still a five-grade loose official, and a loose official is also an official, she is not an ordinary good family, she is a serious official girl!"
"What's more, as far as I observed between talking to her just now, this girl must have been spoiled by the family when she was a child, such a pearl in the palm of her hand, how can the Sheng family tolerate her being a concubine?!
Meng Guiyu said with a smile: "You say that people are good, what do you compare yourself with? My younger brothers and sisters Meng Guiyu naturally have to live well, let alone concubines, even if your husband is a little bad to you in the future, I would rather take you home and remarry, and I will never let you be wronged outside." ”
Disgusted with his sister once, he smiled, and said with a straight face: "Auntie's calculation seems incredible, but in fact, it may not be impossible to achieve: first, what do you want the Sheng family to come to Chang'an for?
"In this case, I didn't accompany my nephews, nieces, daughters, and grandnieces to Chang'an, and let a group of juniors who are the oldest than nineteen years old travel thousands of miles, what do you say?"
Without waiting for Meng Guihuan to answer, he said to himself, "Eighty percent is because these three girls have the idea of paving the way for Sheng Sleeping Crane." It's even acceptable to pave the way to a small level - it's just for the Sheng family's reputation, so no elders can come!"
"If something goes wrong in the future, you can blame all the blame on the girl, saying that the elders can't leave because of something, but I didn't expect the girl to leave and go on the wrong path. In this way, no matter how despicable the girl has done, the Sheng family always has a fig leaf to explain the past on the scene!"
"So don't look at that girl who looks spoiled, it's really hard to say what kind of status the Sheng family really puts this girl in. ”
"Second, do you only remember that there are officials in the dynasty who do not allow the son of the good family to be concubines, but you forget that there is another rule in the dynasty that is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?"
"-- The runner is a concubine, and the hired person is a wife!"
"If Miss Sheng San takes the initiative to elope with the eighth brother, then even if she is a son of a good family and a daughter of an official family, it is natural to be a concubine!"
Meng Guihuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said after a while: "Auntie...... It's so ruthless!"
Although she and Sheng Weiqiao have just reconciled, and they have not yet reached the point of harmony, let alone much friendship, as a girl who is also fifteen or sixteen years old to be married, her vision and expectation for the future are the same.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel sympathy, and said awe-inspiringly, "That girl is a person who has no city to coax, if she is really calculated by the eldest aunt to become the concubine of the starling, I am afraid that she will be pinched by the eldest aunt for the rest of her life, and she will not be able to break free......! Alas......"
was disgusted with Mrs. Xiang, and remembered what happened before noon, so he sank his face and looked at no one on the left and right, but the wind was howling, the snow was falling, and the birds were hard to find, so he came to Meng Guiyu and whispered, "Sixth brother, in fact, the eldest aunt is not only cruel to this Sheng Weiqiao, but also to our nephew and nephew!"
She said hatefully, "The reason why I was kicked out of the palace by my aunt on the fifteenth day of the morning was because she knew about our transfer to the eldest aunt, and she made a fuss in the side hall, not only scolded me, but also directly named the eldest aunt and fourteen! At first, I thought that it was because we were not acting well, or that the eldest aunt had a spies from the aunt who was delicate, so that she knew. Unexpectedly, it was the eldest aunt who deliberately let Aunt Jiaoyu know!"
"Looking at Fourteen's indifferent and unrefuted appearance at the time, eighty percent is true!"
"Although the eldest aunt is the uncle's current main room, but because the uncle favors Aunt Jiaoyu, if it weren't for the aunt's affection, there would have been no place for their mother and son in the Zheng Guogong Mansion!"
"In this case, we took the initiative to take refuge, she actually betrayed us, not to mention, in front of my aunt, I actually wanted to rob my aunt of the marriage arranged for the sixth brother, and the good girl of the other family is not a human calculation!
"It's so coquettish, even if Aunt Jiaoyu doesn't treat us as her own, at least she will be rewarded for her merits!"
"Occasionally, if you make a mistake or do something wrong, as long as you ask for the guilt in time, Aunt Jiaoyu is rarely harsh!"
"The eldest aunt, as the main room, is still a powerful female official in front of my aunt, and this royal mother's mind is not as good as a coquettish aunt!"
"It's really cold!"
It's just that Meng Guiyu was not infected by his sister's indignation, and after hearing these words, his expression was still unshocked, and he said calmly: "This is a matter of course! The eldest aunt has been under Aunt Jiaoyu for a long time, and we started from the path of my aunt, and suddenly went to take refuge in her, how can she not suspect that we went to her to be spies at the behest of Aunt Jiaoyu?"
"So we must put this matter on the surface, first, to let out a bad breath that has been suppressed by Aunt Jiaoyu for many years, second, to shake the confidence of Aunt Jiaoyu's side, and third, to use Aunt Jiaoyu's hand to hit us!"
Meng Guihuan was puzzled: "Since she wants to be angry and shake the confidence of Aunt Jiaoyu's subordinates, then even if she suspects that we are spies, she has taken the initiative to take refuge in her and passed the clear way, and now that we are being hit by Aunt Jiaoyu, is there any brilliance on her face?!"
She snorted coldly, "People look at it like this, oh, it turns out that the main room of the eldest aunt can't even protect the nephews and nieces who have turned to her?
"If we are spies and are hit by Aunt Jiaoyu, she will naturally be happy to see it happen, even if we are not spies and we are sincerely taking refuge in her, we will naturally hate Aunt Jiaoyu when we are hit by Aunt Jiaoyu, and she is also happy to see it. Meng Guiyu patiently taught his sister, "As for the disgraceful ...... Do you think about why we switched to the eldest aunt?"
Even though he knows that Mrs. Xiang is not a good master, his biological daughter is about to become the successor!
This is the strategy specially planned by the Meng family for the Empress Dowager Meng's advanced age and Emperor Xuanjing, who is also over half a hundred years old, for the sake of Meng's future wealth and prosperity, and Meng Biyun, who was selected as the successor, will be the core of the entire strategy!
is so precious as a mother, even if Mrs. Xiang treats the people under her hands harshly, and doesn't want to follow the three mothers and sons to repeat the fate of Concubine Rou back then, such as Meng Guiyu's brothers and sisters, who originally pleased Aunt Jiaoyu, if they don't turn to Mrs. Xiang to atone for their sins, in exchange for Mrs. Xiang's magnanimity in the future, what else can they do? !
Meng Guihuan thought about this section, his eyes were dark, as if Mrs. Xiang didn't have much resentment and disgust towards Empress Dowager Meng and Meng Boqin, but she still hoped that one day, she could live without their control, how could Meng Guihuan not hope that one day, they didn't need to please Empress Dowager Meng and didn't need to please Meng's big house - they didn't need to please anyone, they could live happily the life they wanted to live?
It's a pity......
His parents died early, and his biological father greatly offended his brothers and sisters such as Empress Dowager Meng before his death......
At that time, the young Meng Guiyu, with three younger brothers and sisters, stumbled to grow up, which was really not easy.
Now for the sake of the younger brother's dowry, the dowry of the younger sisters, and the fact that the younger brothers and sisters do not have to be angry with their in-laws after marriage, they have to find ways to flatter and win favor in front of the Empress Dowager Meng and other elders of the Meng family.
Even if I am indignant and disgusted with Mrs. Xiang's approach now, it is ......
But I had to endure it!
Meng Guihuan looked at the obvious tiredness on the heroic face of the elder brother in front of him, his heart was sour, he was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Sixth brother, why don't we take care of the intrigue of the big house anymore! Anyway, you now have the position of earl, and you have won the trust of your aunt, even if you don't please the big house, it is enough to become our dependence! As for the seventh brother's dowry and my dowry, just prepare some of them casually -- the big deal is that we will marry low and marry low, in fact, as long as the person is good, what does the family background almost have to do with it? Just let us do it. ”
"My earl's position was given by my aunt, and my aunt can give it and take it away, even if I can coax my aunt now, don't forget that my aunt is old, but we are still young. However, when Meng Guiyu heard this, he just smiled, "The real hole cards of the Meng family are now in the hands of the third brother, but the third brother is far away in the northern Xinjiang, and if we don't pass through the eldest aunt, we can't get along with him at all, even if we get in touch now, this relationship is not deep enough to get rid of the eldest aunt......"
"What's more, my aunt and the Son of Heaven are both old, and the Meng clan seems to be prominent now, but in fact, the future is critical! Even if the eldest uncle convinces my aunt to make the fourteenth successor, it is impossible for King Gaomi to sit still!"
"As the Meng bloodline, when the Meng clan is developed, we may not be able to get much light, but if the Meng clan falls, we will definitely not be able to run away - so now I am trying to get the attention of my aunt and the big house, not only for the sake of the marriage money and other small things of our four brothers and sisters, but also for the safety of your and my lives!"
He shook his head, did not continue to elaborate, only said, "I have my own opinions on this matter, you don't have to worry! I just took a picture with Miss Sheng San, although the impression is not bad, but it is far from saying that she will not marry, the eldest aunt wants me to let it, let it go!"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly, "However, after all, it is the aunt's own thread, and the person can give it to the eldest aunt, and we still have to take advantage of it—so you must find an opportunity to tell the girl what I told you!"
Originally, if he wanted to win Sheng Weiqiao's heart according to Empress Dowager Meng's proposal, this matter happened to be told to Sheng Weiqiao in person on the way to the side hall just now, and he would definitely be able to win Sheng Weiqiao's considerable gratitude, but now in order to obey Mrs. Xiang's hints, he could only shut up.
However, shut up and shut up, such a big favor made him just quietly not mention it, but it was impossible!
Just right, let my sister come forward - I think that the Sheng family is so rich that even the Empress Dowager Meng and Mrs. Xiang are moved, and I have helped them so much, it can be said that it has saved their family and all the people who depend on the Sheng family from the catastrophe, and it has saved the fate of the pearl of the Sheng family falling into the Xiang family's calculations, even if the Sheng family only has a few juniors in Chang'an now, they will not be stingy with thanks, right?
――Marrying the third lady of the Sheng family, who can't make up a lot of money, why don't you take advantage of this favor to make some money for Meng Guihuan?
