Meng Yan was worried, if it was really where the Xianggong knew some inaccurate news about their family, then he couldn't be ignorant of anything.

So while he hadn't arrived at He's house yet, when he was resting in the inn, he used the kitchen of the inn to cook a few side dishes that Xianggong liked to eat, brought them to the room, took a small pot of wine, and said to Zhou Judao: "Xianggong, it's almost time to get to the next county, you tell me more about my mother, what does her old man like and dislike on weekdays, and what kind of character is her eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

"My mother is a very gentle person, I have never seen her lose her temper, and she likes to wear red clothes...... But the last time I saw my mother in red was eight years ago. Zhou Juren said with a faint melancholy on his face, recalling his mother's gentle smile, and his heart was even more gloomy.

Yang is good to him, thoughtful care, but only thoughtful, he can't feel maternal love from Yang, and even under Yang's kind gaze, there are some things that make him very uncomfortable, if he can, he would rather stay by his mother's side forever.

After following his father to Zhou's house, the last time he saw his mother was three years ago, and it was good that his father lived on Yang's side and his mother's side for three years, so it stands to reason that he should have gone to his mother's side this year.

But the father said that his sister Cai'er is growing up, and it is the time when he needs to say goodbye, and he is about to marry his daughter-in-law, can he still live here with the Yang family for these three years, and then live with his mother for six consecutive years after these three years.

Although the words were said by his father, he knew that this must be Yang's idea, or he didn't know what method Yang used. Let my father feel the need for this.

What my father said also made sense, if it was according to the rules set before. When I go back to Zhou's house after three years, he can still say. My sister is getting older, so I can't talk to my father about it three years later.

It was the father who felt sorry for the Yang mother and daughter, and thought it was better, so he mentioned it to his mother, and his mother had always been gentle, so naturally she did not object, and there was really no reason to object, and the opposition was to ignore the lives of others, so she agreed to let her father live for three more years. During the period, I did my sister's family affairs.

"Xianggong ......" Meng Yan saw that Zhou Juren was slightly distracted, and changed his voice softly.

Zhou Juren came back to his senses, remembered Meng Yan's question before, and said: "As for the sister-in-law, she is also an excellent person, and she is in love with the eldest brother and wife, which makes people ......envious."

Speaking of this, Zhou Juren glanced at Meng Yan, and there seemed to be something in his eyes that made Meng Yan a little uneasy.

Didn't wait to think it through. Zhou Juren continued: "You don't have to worry, my mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law are very good people, easy to get along with, don't be too deliberate." We are all family, so we don't need to be too polite or too inhibited. ”

When talking about the family. A hint of gloom flashed in Zhou Juren's eyes.

Meng Yan sighed in her heart, and understood what the uneasiness was just now.

When his father-in-law mentioned his eldest brother and sister-in-law. The look in his eyes was envious, and he seemed to have some regret when he looked at her. He admires the love of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he can't say bad about his husband and wife, but no matter how hard he tries, he always seems to be missing something.

When I was in the Zhou family, there were also a few young couples who often visited each other, and the communication between one or two pairs was really enviable, it seemed that one look, every move was very tacit, and there was a little less tacit understanding between her and Xianggong.

She originally thought that this was because she was born in a family of military generals, although she also learned a little qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir, but after all, it can't be compared with the scholarly family, so it is difficult to reach the husband and wife Qin Se and Ming, but later observed, it is not like this.

She saw that some husbands were talented people, and wives were almost illiterate, but they could also be loving.

Zhou Juren saw Meng Yan's strange appearance, but at this moment he had no time to take care of Meng Yan's mood, so he only poured a glass of wine alone and drank it all.

When he wanted to pour a second glass, Meng Yan took the first step, took the wine glass, and said, "Xianggong, I'll bring it to you." ”

Zhou Juren didn't object, so he drank two glasses.

Only then did Meng Yan ask softly: "Xianggong, you seem to be a little unhappy, can you tell me something?"

Zhou Juren was silent for a while, and just when Meng Yan thought he wouldn't speak, he suddenly spoke: "I have a friend who I met when I was studying abroad, and he ...... Recently convicted, he was sentenced to beheading. ”

"The Autumn Queen asked. Meng Yan was taken aback, how serious is this crime, how could Xianggong know such a person?

Zhou Juren remembered what a few friends said in the letter, and his heart couldn't help but feel gloomy again.

When he left Yancheng in a hurry, he was a little weak-hearted, Li Zhengjie, Xiao Xin, Guo Huan, Chu Zhaohui, the five of them are friends, if it weren't for the literati who don't like to tie the knot, they may be like the heroes of the rivers and lakes mentioned in the story, they may become brothers of the opposite sex, not to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die on the same day and month in the same year, they read together, chant poems together, travel the mountains and rivers, and even talk about major events in the court, it can be said that there is nothing to talk about.

Later, Guo Huan brought one of his cousins Cheng Boyu into their small circle, although he felt that Cheng Boyu seemed to be a little different from a few of them, his fame was heavier, and a few words could not be separated from how to get fame, and how to find a good job after the exam, etc., but Cheng Boyu's talent is also excellent, and a little flaw doesn't matter, but he is probably not a fellow person, Cheng Boyu gradually became a little estranged after a few contacts with them, and integrated into another circle, after all, there are a lot of people in Yancheng。

They didn't care, they didn't conspire with each other, they knew each other in the end, they were still friends, and they occasionally got together for a get-together, but some time ago, the Cheng family was involved in the river corruption case that caused a lot of trouble in the DPRK and China.

It is said that Cheng Boyu's father was one of the main criminals, Cheng's family was raided, and Cheng Boyu was also treated as an accomplice because he helped his father, and the father and son were imprisoned together.

That day, Guo Huan and a few friends came to look for him, saying that the Cheng family was wronged and hoped that he would help.

What can he do to help? He didn't even know Cheng Boyu's father, and he had just listened to the river corruption case in the teahouse, how could he know if he was wronged? Even if he knew, he had no official or lord. How can they redress their grievances? Of course, it should be said that a few of them are all good people. If they jointly petitioned to let the yamen review the case, he wouldn't mind being with Guo Huan and them.

But Guo Huan said that it was useless. I have to ask the important ministers of the court to help.

Among all the relatives of everyone, there is only one who has the largest official position and the ability to help, and his brother-in-law is the king and the wind.

Guo Huan said that as long as the prince can help, the grievances of the Cheng family will definitely be cleared.

He is a scholar, has never set foot in officialdom, and does not understand the affairs of officialdom very well, but he also knows that this matter is not trivial. How could he investigate the case because of a certain person's words? He himself didn't understand how the Cheng family was involved, whether he was wronged or not, and how he spoke to Prince Ding?

Guo Huan pulled a few friends and kept saying that the Cheng family was wronged and was pushed out as a scapegoat, but it was just empty words, he was confused and didn't understand how the Cheng family was wronged, and who was really guilty.

You can't talk to the king. The son of the Cheng family is the cousin of his friend and his friend, and the friend said that the guarantee of the Cheng family is absolutely wronged, so he also guarantees that the Cheng family is absolutely wronged. I hope that Wang Ye Ding will help review this case.

Isn't this a joke? How can he speak? Even if he does, the prince will not pay attention to him, the day he gets married. Dingwangfu just sent someone to send a generous gift, and the prince and princess did not show up.

He will also meet Prince Ding in the Meng family that day. I didn't say a word. How can such a request be made?

Helplessly, Guo Huan said that human life is a matter of heaven, and any method must be used, and they can't see death without help.

He couldn't refuse, but he couldn't respond.

Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to mention it to King Ding, and I just did my best, but he couldn't even enter the door of King Ding's Mansion, how could he mention it?

can only rely on their own wife Meng Yan, the newlyweds, although the relationship is good, but it has not reached the point of talking about nothing, tossing and turning that day, Meng Yan can't sleep, and the husband and wife have a conversation.

Meng Yan told her relationship with her princess sister, and he knew that it was impossible to plead, even if it was difficult to meet the prince.

Most people won't see him.

Because he couldn't explain to Guo Yin and them, but it happened that his teacher died of illness and gave him an excuse, so he asked the scholar to leave a letter for Guo Huan and them, briefly stating the reason why they couldn't help, and left in a hurry.

It's an escape, but I've been feeling a little uneasy since then, ashamed of my friends, and I don't know how to meet Guo Huan and them in the future, so I've been a little worried since I came back.

Fortunately, the situation in the Zhou family has always been very complicated, and no one noticed his abnormality, thinking that he was also upset because of Cai'er's family affairs.

But now he suddenly received an urgent letter from Guo Huan, saying that Cheng Boyu was sentenced to behead after the autumn together with his father.

Guo Huan didn't have any requests or anything like that in his letter, so he simply told him, saying that a few of their friends were going to send Cheng Boyu on his last journey, similar to a game, the five of them have always been together in Yancheng, now does he want to come too?

Seeing that Meng Yan wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, Zhou Juren sighed secretly and said in a low voice: "That friend of mine was involved in a corruption case, and several other friends said that he was wronged, but he was going to be beheaded. ”

Meng Yan looked at Zhou Juren with wide eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hold Zhou Juren's hand to show comfort.

Zhou Juren was disappointed.

She didn't ask what was going on, and as he expected, she was a smart woman who knew what was best for herself.

Because of the situation of the Zhou family, he was sandwiched between his biological mother and his father's other wife, and he understood the complex psychology of women very early.

Know how a smart woman doesn't take things personally.

Just like the Yang family, he wants to keep his father by his side for three more years, saying that it is for his sister's family affairs, but in fact, he wants to see if he can have a child while he is still young.

But she didn't prove this idea to say it, and she didn't even directly ask her father to stay, but took advantage of her sister's family affairs, raised the difficulties, and asked her father to raise it himself, without responsibility or favors.

And what about Meng Yan now, if she doesn't ask, she doesn't want to help anything, after all, she doesn't know his friends, it's better not to ask, and you don't have to solve it if you don't ask.

Meng Yan's practices in the Zhou family, how could he not know?

It's just that she thinks that her family's interpersonal relationship is complicated and she has wronged Meng Yan, so it's no wonder that she is not to blame.

But in the end, he was disappointed in his heart, what he hoped was that the husband and wife would work together, face difficulties together, and bear them together, but Meng Yan obviously didn't have the idea of bearing them together, she just wanted to keep herself in the best interests.

Well, let him bear it alone.

Meng Yan was sensitively aware that after drinking a meal, she seemed to be a little estranged from her husband.

I was a little anxious, and I couldn't help but talk to my mother about countermeasures.

Ping's mother is from the past, looking at Meng Yan who is a little anxious, she knows that Meng Yan really likes Zhou Juren, otherwise she would not insist on marrying low, she thought about it, and said: " Miss, this world can not be both, the relationship between husband and wife is the same, if you want to love husband and wife, talk about everything, you have to show twelve points of sincerity, help your uncle solve difficulties, even if you can't do anything, but also share weal and woe together, this can be respected, people's hearts can only be exchanged with people's hearts, you hope that your uncle will be good to you, but you have reservations about your uncle, which is not possible. ”

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "But my mother and second sister all said ......"

Meng Yan did not continue.

Ping's mother has followed Mrs. Meng for decades, and has also served Meng Xiaofu for a period of time, and she also knows a little about these two people, knowing how they will probably teach Meng Yan, and said sincerely: "What Mrs. and Second Miss said is not wrong, but Miss, what do you think is happening between Mrs. and Mrs. now? You and Uncle may not be to the point of Mrs. Master, but they may respect each other for the rest of their lives, not like other couples." ”

"Mother Ping, haven't you been persuading me not to care too much before?" Meng Yan looked at Mother Ping with some complaints.

"Miss, the slave maid just does what the young lady wants, the young lady doesn't want to do too much to wronged herself, so the slave can only help the young lady not to be wronged. Mother Ping didn't have a trace of emotion in her voice, and looked at Meng Yan, "Miss, if you have other ideas, it's still too late to change." ”

"How to change?" Meng Yan seemed to ask Ping's mother, and seemed to be asking herself.

Ping's mother said: "If you want your uncle to treat each other with sincerity, Miss must be attentive first, put your uncle first in everything, even if she is wronged, she will not embarrass her uncle...... This thing is difficult to do, not to mention, in the end, may not be able to get the same return, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, no one can predict what the other person thinks, whether they will be grateful, maybe you pay, in the end others take it for granted, but if you don't pay, even the possibility of not getting. (To be continued......)
