Chapter 328: I want to see Meng Ge
Inside the Meng Mansion, after General Meng Lao fell, it was already a mess. Whether children and grandchildren are filial or not is worthy of being cared for and raised, it is manifested at this time.
The large and small members of the Meng family, men and women, were crowded outside General Meng's bedroom, rising higher and higher, earning the future distribution of property.
The Meng family's big house resolutely did not allow Meng Ji to share a little property. The second room of the Meng family didn't want to Fengyang and the old general Meng, saying that it was the responsibility of the eldest grandson of the long house.
The third room of the Meng family has nothing to do with himself, that is, he instigated between the two rooms of the big house, and at the end of the day, he also fell into the well for Meng Ji.
In the face of the Meng family, the doctors who were invited, as well as the imperial doctors, were not worth it for General Meng.
Those officials who took the opportunity to sneak into the general's mansion, or the people from various mansions who were sent by the master to inquire about the news, also felt that General Meng Lao was doing it himself.
Only Shi Shilang deeply realized the helplessness and bitterness. Thinking that General Meng Lao had expected such a day, he would try his best to snatch Meng Ji.
General Meng lay on the bed in despair, his spasmodic tongue and twisted facial muscles, making it impossible for him to express his thoughts clearly.
At this moment, in his mind, he always replays the words he said to Meng Lang when he left.
He said: "Grandfather, it is the father's fault that he is not strict with his son; Teaching a bad wife is not only the fault of the husband, but also the responsibility of the parents. You may be able to do your best for the country, but you can't manage a family. Thou hast connived with thy wives of injustice and vanity. You have not been strict with your children and grandchildren, you have turned a blind eye to their mistakes, but you have covered them up. You still can't tolerate your grandson who wants to correct all this, just to maintain your empty face and lofty position. Wait, one day you will regret your decision today. As a descendant of the Meng family, I think that I have fulfilled my responsibilities, and even if I die and go down to the underworld in the future, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the Meng family. โ
Yes, he had already regretted it, just after Meng Lang left home. It's just that he, as a big man who is a man of his word and a general of a country, how could he bow his head and admit his mistake for his decision to sit down.
That's why he turned a blind eye to Meng Lang's persecution to his old wife and several children.
It's just that he has to pay attention to the situation of the Meng family. The more he understands his own life pattern and sees the people in his family more clearly, the colder he becomes.
Did he make such a heavy decision and try to cover up all the negative rumors just to make these people in his family more unscrupulous?
So he secretly investigated the traces of Meng Lang and his wife.
I have to say that Meng Lang and his wife are really capable people, not only hiding all their traces, but also living an enviable leisurely life in that small village in the south.
If it weren't for the people who went to the south to find people, he accidentally saw Meng Ge's father and daughter selling prey in the county, and he wouldn't have been able to find Meng Lang five years later.
After that, from those people, Meng Lang had a son and a daughter. The girl is smart and clever, and she has a lot of strength, and people who are only a few years old can go hunting in the mountains with Meng Lang.
The two-year-old son is also very smart and well-behaved. That's a bold and upright child, who was influenced by that eccentric girl, and was also very perverse.
It was General Meng Lao who came up with the idea of bringing the child back to raise it himself.
He wants to prove to Meng Lang that he is not bad at managing his family, nor is he not good at raising children. He is just loyal to the country, and he has no extra energy to take care of that family.
But he didn't want Meng Lang to know that the child was taken away by himself, so he designed the incident of the trafficker snatching the child.
Meng Jichu was brought to his side, looking for his father and mother and sister all day and night, and slipped away from under the noses of the people who took care of him several times, which was so well-behaved.
General Meng Lao loved and hated Meng Ji. Love, because Meng Ji is really a very smart and sensible child, and he will definitely be a talent when he grows up.
Hate, only hate that this is Meng Lang's son, the son of the grandson who was abandoned by him and whitewashed the peace.
The smart and clever Meng Ji was in the general's mansion at the border pass for a few days, and he mixed very well with the people in the mansion. He had a sweet mouth and knew how to buy people's hearts, so he soon said that a groom would take him out of the general's palace and go south with him at night.
When General Meng Lao led people to find the two of them, Meng Ji was riding on horseback with the groom, shouting that he would soon see his sister and his father.
His excited and smug little appearance pierced General Meng's heart and triggered his anger.
So the old general, who has always been mighty and upright, actually did something that was very puzzling. He threw Meng Ji, who was crying and wanted to go back to find his family, into the lake with thin ice on the side, choking people until he was stunned, and then scooped him up and brought him back.
After that, Meng Ji was ill for two months. Everyone thought that the kid couldn't stand it, but he survived.
General Meng Lao's mind was very complicated, and finally he gritted his teeth and found a local doctor who thought he had a good reputation, and lost the needle for Meng Ji.
After that, Meng Ji's condition gradually improved. Half a year later, Meng Ji had regained his naughty function of running and jumping, and two years later, Meng Ji called General Meng Lao as his great-grandfather for the first time.
It's just that Meng Ji at that time was too troublesome, except for calling his great-grandfather, he didn't talk to anyone, and he didn't listen to anyone.
It just so happened that at that time, General Meng Lao received a secret order from the imperial court and had to send Meng Ji back to Meng's house in Jinhe County.
The rest is exactly what everyone knows.
Thinking of this, General Meng suddenly remembered that Meng Ge's sister and brother had just told him that Meng Lang was dead, Meng Lang and his wife were dead, they died on the way to escape the famine, and they were still concerned about Meng Ji when they died.
Meng Lang actually died, when he, an old immortal, still thought that his life was complete, and died before he, an old immortal who was ashamed of the ancestors of the Meng family.
How can this be? He didn't believe it, he couldn't accept it. He is a living person, and he has earned this great meritorious hero who can benefit three generations of descendants, and he is a person who is worthy of his ancestors.
This realization scared him. Especially the Menggo siblings.
They are just a pair of orphans who lost their parents early, and they are much better than the children of the Meng family.
If Meng Ji hadn't had such good roots a long time ago, and he was close to the Wang family, and grew up in the Wang family, he would have been led crooked by the people of the Meng family.
Such a comparison made the old man who had always been arrogant collapse and couldn't stand it.
So he fell, in front of the fact that the illusion he had created was exposed.
"Yes, yes, see Mengo, Meng... Mengoโ" he struggled to open his mouth, trying to speak clearly.
After hearing this, the Tai Hospital, who was administering an injection to him, couldn't say anything of comfort except for shaking his head helplessly.
What you sow, what you reap. The world is full of filth, and the filth behind the people has seen a lot of him, the imperial doctor who has mixed in the backyard of the nobles and ministers of the court.
He only hoped that after such an incident, General Meng would not be as confused as before.
