Chapter 415: Dedication
After listening to Ping's mother's words, Meng Yan didn't sleep all night, and the next morning, after getting up, let everyone stay a little longer before getting into the carriage.
Zhou Juren thought she was unwell and wanted to take a day off, and asked her if she wanted to make some soup or something.
Meng Yan shook his head, was silent for a while, and said to Zhou Juren: "Xianggong, if you want to...... If my mother doesn't see any surprises, we'll Yancheng. ”
"Go back to Yancheng, what to do?" Zhou Juren didn't react for a while, and he didn't understand why Meng Yan suddenly asked like this.
Meng Yan said: "Go and see your friend, ask things clearly, and see if you can make some effort." ”
"Lady, this ...... Will it work? Zhou Juren's eyes lit up at first, and finally hesitated.
He still knows a little about Cheng Boyu, although this person is keen on fame and fortune, but his temperament is a little arrogant, greedy for the silver of the river embankment is so strict and harms the interests of the people, Cheng Boyu can't do it, at most he is implicated by his family, so he will be beheaded, it is too much, not to mention that he may be wronged.
If there was really no suspicion at all, Guo Huan would not have worked so hard.
They are all friends, Guo Huan is trying their best to help, but he stays out of the matter, his conscience is very tormented, if he can really do a little bit, even if the result cannot be changed, he is at ease.
It's just that although he has this heart, but his family situation is complicated, no more than others, he can't be like Guo Huan and them, don't care about anything, Guo Huan and what they have done, even if it affects the family, he can still try his best to make up for it, so as to be understood.
And he can't, if he takes the wrong step. Family conflicts will be intensified, and the family that the father has maintained with trepidation may be destroyed. There is no chance to make amends.
Although he knew that his wife was sleek, he didn't like it. But there is nothing he can do, he is not qualified to blame, he can only pretend not to know, and let the life go on so plainly, like the vast majority of couples in the world, which is also the reason why he was willing to accept such a family affair in the first place.
Compared with the girls who are as delicate as the incense fan pendant, the girls in the Jiangmen family may not be so sentimental and fragile.
What he needs is a girl who can survive in a complex family, and the Meng family is also a complicated family, especially Meng Yan chose to marry him when she was obviously able to marry him. According to Mrs. Quansi, she also envies the integrity of the scholars and the simplicity of the population.
Now that his wife suddenly proposed such a proposal, how could he not surprise him, and there was some surprise.
Meng Yan nodded seriously: "Xianggong, as long as you are willing, you are willing to accompany your wife, although I can't disturb the second sister who is about to give birth, but I can go to my father and mother." ”
"Lady...... Thank you. Zhou Juren didn't know why Meng Yan suddenly changed so much. But he was very grateful, and when he was in trouble, there was a person who came out and said that he was willing to stand by his side and support. It's really rare.
Sometimes what people need is not real benefits, but just a heart.
He also knew that the Cheng family's affairs would not be so easy. Even if they are wronged, it is difficult to change anything with the strength of a few of them. But in life, there are some things that you know you can't do and try your best to do it. Only ask for a conscience and have no regrets.
If his wife can do this, she must have to pay a price, and Zhou Juren is very grateful, so on his mother's side, he came forward to explain, pulled the matter to himself, and said that the reason for returning to Yancheng in a hurry was that he couldn't let go of his friends and wanted to go back to see.
As for the wife, she just can't oppose Xianggong's decision, and every word of the whole page of letter has been carefully considered, so that the wife must also become a wronged role in this trip, and she can't influence Xianggong's decision and reluctantly follow.
In this case, the mother will only sympathize, even if there are some complaints, she only complains that the wife has not been able to persuade herself, and the responsibility will become very small.
When Zhou Juren wrote the letter, he did not shy away from Meng Yan.
On the contrary, he also asked Meng Yan to polish the ink for him, he didn't want to calculate anything, he just wanted Meng Yan to be at ease.
They all grew up in complex families, no one is stupid, some plans to be alone can be seen, and some small tricks can be detected even if there is no evidence.
For example, when he followed others out of Yancheng and set off two days in advance, he didn't feel anything at the time, but after a few days of getting along, from Meng Yan's unfamiliar attitude with the family, he could already know from some small talk with the family that the Meng family had no friendship with the family, and it was the relatives of the family who led the way and proposed to let them follow for a while.
This is inevitably intriguing, since they have no friendship with each other, how can they come to the door to make a request? If the Meng family was worried about their daughter's safety along the way, why didn't they plan to do so in the morning? I asked someone to help in advance, but I had to hire a dart team first, but before leaving, I hurriedly said that there were officials who left Yancheng to go to other places to take them for a ride?
If there is nothing to do, then it will just happen, but it happened only after Guo Huan and the others asked him? Is it really a coincidence?
Well, one thing is a coincidence, what about the other? The sudden arrival of the third old lady Quan, the big and small things in the family, the wife took care of them properly, so that people couldn't say no.
One qiē and one qiē show that his wife is really good at staying out of things, so I don't know if this is because his wife is good at socializing with others or has the guidance of a master, and the few grandmothers and maids who came over with his wife seem to be very shrewd.
Whose idea it was, he didn't want to be investigated, and he couldn't complain.
After all, people marry him low, not to come to his house to be angry, let alone to be a cow or a horse.
But it is impossible to say that there is no disappointment.
He knew he wasn't qualified to be picky.
There is an estrangement between husband and wife, and he is unwilling, but there is nothing he can do, or just live like this for the rest of his life, although this is not what he wants, but at least there will be no possibility of husband and wife going on like this.
Unexpectedly, after being disappointed, his wife had another change.
Zhou Juren saw the same desire in Meng Yan's eyes, maybe she didn't want to live a life of respect, so let's try each other.
After writing a letter to my mother. Zhou Juren and Meng Yan rushed back to Yancheng quickly with a light car.
There is no more luggage, and there is a bunch of maids and wives to drag down. I returned to Yancheng in three days.
Because the maid and the maid were left behind, only a few subordinates were left in the mansion of the Zhou family Yancheng. It's not very convenient, plus there are some things I want to ask for the Meng family.
So Meng Yan decided to go back to her parents' house with her husband to live for a few days, and when the maids and wives also arrived, they packed up the house and went back to live.
Mrs. Meng was naturally very happy to see her daughter, although Meng was not as excited as Mrs. Meng, but after all, she was her own daughter, and she was generally happy, and persuaded her daughter to stay a few more days.
Zhou Juren seemed a little restrained, not because he was at his father-in-law's house.
It's because he's about to embarrass the Yue family again. This matter was not the business of the Meng family, but as a last resort, he had no one else to help, so he could only come to the Yue family for help.
Meng Yan told her husband that she had to tell her mother quietly about this, let her mother see if she could help, and then her mother would tell her father, or if her mother knew a lot of people, maybe there were one or two who could help.
But if the mother doesn't help. She can only do this, after all, this is a big case, the Meng family knows nothing, and she wants the Meng family to come forward to help a person she doesn't know. Maybe you will get into trouble, but it's not that easy.
After all, she is a married daughter, and it is not good to force her mother's family too much.
Zhou Juren naturally understands. Sincere thanks, saying that as long as you do this step, you can do it. He didn't dare to force too much, after all, it was not himself who was sacrificed.
On the other hand. He still has to go to Guo Huan, and then inquire about the matter in detail to see if there is really a possibility of grievances, and if he wants someone to help wash away his grievances, there must be a convincing reason.
Husbands and wives go their separate ways.
Here Meng Yan said to Mrs. Meng very simply, after all, their mother and daughter can talk about everything.
But over there, Zhou Juren talked to Guo Huan a little inappropriately.
Guo Huan insisted that the Cheng family was wronged, and there was important evidence in his hand, but this evidence was too important, and it took someone of weight to come forward before he could come forward.
After saying it, in order to avoid Zhou Juren's distraction, Guo Huan repeatedly explained that it was not that he didn't believe Zhou Juren, but that it was a matter of importance, and it was better to be cautious.
Zhou Juren also spoke out about his difficulties.
The only person who can help say a few words now is his father-in-law, but so far, he has not mentioned it to his father-in-law, and it is not certain that his father-in-law can help, but before mentioning it to his father-in-law, he always has to figure things out, after all, the case is not trivial, and even if the father-in-law agrees to help, he must know the details of the ins and outs.
But Guo Huan said that the involvement was too great, and his father-in-law was only a fourth-rank official, so he was afraid that he would not be able to speak, so it was best to let King Ding come forward.
This Zhou Juren said that he couldn't help, and said frankly that although he and King Ding were brothers-in-law, their identities were too different from each other, not to mention any friendship, it was not easy to meet each other, not to mention that King Ding was not in Yancheng now.
It's not that he can't save him when he sees death, there are some facts that there is no way.
When this matter was mentioned, Guo Huan complained a little in his words, and some blamed Zhou Juren for not explaining the matter before King Ding left Yancheng.
Zhou Juren was not without a trace of temper, and his face immediately became a little ugly.
Fortunately, several other friends were also there at the time, and they persuaded each other, which made the two friends shake hands and make peace.
Zhou Juren is not to blame Guo Huan, he knows that Guo Huan's friendship with Cheng Boyu is extraordinary, Guo Huan lived in Cheng's house when he was a child, and was taken care of by Cheng Boyu a lot, they are cousins, so naturally they have a better relationship, so Guo Huan is anxious about this matter, and it is understandable that he runs around.
How could he blame Guo Huan at this time?
Guo Huan came back to his senses and regretted it a little, but he really had no choice, Zhou Juren missed the best time to ask for help, and now as he said, King Ding left Yancheng, and he couldn't go all the way to the border to tell him about it, and begged King Ding to help, even if King Ding had the heart, it was beyond the reach of the whip.
A few friends discussed it again, and felt that what Zhou Juren said also made some sense, his father-in-law Meng Ye was also a fourth-grade official after all, and he was always more capable than a group of weak scholars, and he knew more people.
Guo Huan was reminded by everyone, and also felt that this was the only way at present, which could be regarded as a glimmer of life, so he immediately changed his attitude again, sincerely apologized to Zhou Juren, and asked Zhou Juren to ask his father-in-law for help no matter what.
Zhou Juren immediately had a bitter look on his face.
To be honest, he really didn't have any confidence at all, and even felt that there was little hope, his father-in-law got along with him these days, and his wife Meng Yan occasionally mentioned it, and felt that the relationship between their father and daughter was very ordinary, and Meng Ye really didn't look like a person who would fight against him.
But these words are not easy to say now, he took the initiative to say them, if there is real evidence, he can ask his father-in-law to come forward, but now he says that he is difficult, and he can't say anything.
Zhou Juren couldn't speak, but Guo Huan was like grasping a life-saving straw, constantly saying how to act, and even asking Zhou Juren to introduce him and state his grievances in person.
Fortunately, a few other friends were more sensible, and seeing that Zhou Ju had a difficult face, he hurriedly broke the siege and persuaded Guo Huan not to be impetuous.
is not in a hurry in the past few days, although Cheng Boyu was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, but it is still early after the autumn at this time, maybe things will change, so he persuaded Guo Huan.
After coming out, several friends wordlessly patted Zhou Juren's shoulder to show comfort.
Among several people, Guo Huan has not yet married a wife, and he doesn't know the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, it is not so easy for the son-in-law to open his mouth with his father-in-law, and the water spilled by the married daughter, the daughter has been losing money since ancient times, and even if she loses a sum of money, where can she pay for the second time?
Not to mention that it is not the Zhou family's business at this time, and if you ask the Yue family for help at this time, you will have to look at your wife's face in the future, who said that human life is a matter of heaven, for the sake of friends, it is also appropriate to be wronged, but in the end, standing and talking does not hurt back, Zhou Juren married a wife from a high family, and many people who knew each other were a little sour, and they said a lot of things behind their backs.
Now it is easy to ask Zhou Juren to bow his head and beg his father-in-law, his father-in-law is not a saint, these days, there are quite a few rumors about the Meng family's son suing his father.
But in the end, it didn't really come to fruition, all the qiē is just gossip, just talk about a few words after dinner, it was not about themselves before, they don't have to care, now they have to ask for Meng, thinking of those rumors, and suddenly feel that Meng is not such a good person to say.
If they are not desperate, they do not want to embarrass their friends and good brothers.
Zhou Juren almost sighed and returned home.
When I entered the house, I saw my wife's face gloomy, and it seemed that there was no good news.
Meng Yan forced her smiling face and wanted to wash her face with water for her father-in-law, but Zhou Juren gently stopped her and said easily: "Mother-in-law didn't agree, right?" ”
Meng Yan's smiling face collapsed suddenly, and he lowered his head as if he had done something wrong. (To be continued......)
