Chapter 426: The Grace of One Meal

For Mrs. Meng, cleaning up a greedy person like Mi Shi is really a trivial matter, but she doesn't want to use too ruthless means, just a small punishment, so as not to use too much force and make things out of control.

Meng Si, Meng Nian The two sisters have been in the house for a few months, and they have made rapid progress, especially Meng Si, who is very serious about learning everything, especially likes to read and learn words, and does not rest for a few hours when he practices words, and his understanding is good, but it is a pity that he is a daughter, if he is a man, he must be a good seedling of reading.

From Meng Si's body, Mrs. Meng seemed to see the shadow of Meng Xiaofu when he was young.

I didn't wonder before, Meng Xiaofu, a girl who grew up in the countryside, why she can have the temperament of everyone's ladies, and even better than several grandmothers who were upheld and went to a serious boudoir Meng Yan.

Now seeing Meng Si like this, a qiē question has an answer, think about their Meng family's bloodline is easy to produce such a peculiar seedling, Meng Si used to lie by the window to steal learning, you can recognize the words, after entering the house, even more hard work, a few months down, the whole person is like being reborn, that Meng Xiaofu has been in the countryside for more than ten years, no one disturbs, even if the effort is less than half of Meng Si, the effect is also amazing, not to mention that Meng Xiaofu may not be lazier than Meng Si, Meng Si also has to take care of the young sister, to say goodbye to himself, In his free time, he also cleaned up the house by himself, did needlework, etc., and certainly did not study quietly like Meng Xiaofu.

Meng Si brought her own tie this time, her hands are very skillful, and the tie is very delicate, and she has done it once. Seeing that Mrs. Meng liked it, she often did it, and occasionally embroidered some forehead wipes and handkerchiefs.

Madame Meng accepted them all one by one, these things were delicate and pleasing second, mainly because she wanted Meng Si to be happy, if she refused other people's gifts, it would be a disservice especially to some lowly people.

After being blessed, Mrs. Meng learned the truth of being kind to others, and it is more beneficial to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake.

Take the line. Liked a few words. Mrs. Meng suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, she remembered why Meng Si was alone. Why didn't Meng Nian, who followed Meng Si like a little tail on weekdays, come? casually asked Month.

Month looked suddenly a little nervous. Zhiwu said that Meng Nian was a little uncomfortable. Just rest in the house.

Mrs. Meng saw that it was strange, and she didn't ask at first, but only told Meng Si to go back to take care of her sister earlier. Then please give Meng Nian to the doctor, the disease is from the shallow Chinese medicine, and the girl's family must take good care of herself.

Meng Si's face turned a little pale, but he still thanked Mrs. Meng.

As soon as Meng Si left, Mrs. Meng immediately summoned the little maid and asked her to go to Meng Si, Meng Nian's courtyard to inquire about what was going on.

In the inner courtyard of the Meng family, the maid beside Mrs. Meng wanted to inquire about something, it was easy, and she soon came back.

Meng Si didn't lie, Meng Nian was indeed unwell, but it was not sick, it was injured, after all, Meng Nian was a few years younger, and he was greedy for fun, he couldn't be like his sister, he had been sitting and practicing calligraphy and needlework, the day before yesterday, while his sister was studying, he secretly ran to the garden to play, and he didn't want to meet Meng Yurou who was also wandering in the garden.

Meng Yurou bullied Meng Nian, it had become a habit, and without saying a few words when they met, Meng Yurou pushed Meng Nian down, but Meng Nian was not injured by any Yan zhòng, but hit the trunk of the tree, and his face was blue.

The sisters didn't dare to let people know, so they said that Meng Nian was sick and wanted to wait for the bruises to disappear before coming out to see someone.

Really poor child, Mrs. Meng muttered in her heart, but she didn't want to meddle in this matter, after all, Meng Yurou is Meng Si, Meng Nian's sister-in-law, her identity is already higher than these two sisters, it is very normal for her to bully her in the mansion, after all, Mi is Meng Si Mengnian's mother-in-law, she has to do this little thing for Meng Si, Meng Nian is the first, and she can't take care of it, and it is not good for Meng Si and Meng Nian to make trouble.

I think Meng Si can also understand such a consequence, so he conceals it.

In the future, let the grandmothers watch it more carefully, there is no need to make things bigger, nothing to do.

Meng Si, Meng Nian is not small, the affairs of the children's family, as long as it is not too excessive, it is best for the elders not to interfere, people always have to learn to protect themselves, and the weak also have their own way of survival.

Two days later, the housekeeper of Zhuangzi came to report, saying that Mi had made a new request to take Meng Simengnian and them back, saying that she missed her daughter.

It's really ridiculous, his own daughter doesn't mention taking it back, but wants to pick up a concubine who is not related to him, who believes it?

The mother-in-law who can do it has always been clever, and he will not wait for the master to ask before going back to inquire, he has already inquired clearly, it turns out that Mi Shi somehow got it, and a woman in the Zhuangzi next door has been connected.

The woman's family was a merchant, she had a lot of money, and she had two sons who had not yet married, so she wanted to marry a young lady from a wealthy family, and she didn't expect to get any big light, and she had the name of a powerful relative, so that corrupt officials and ruffians and hooligans did not dare to blackmail their family.

I heard that Mi said that there were two concubines who lost money in the family, and I heard that Mi was Meng Ye's eldest daughter-in-law, and Meng was also a big official.

Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the lowest, such a family, how can a serious official family marry their family? Looking at Mi's appearance again, after a few words, he understood Mi's situation very well.

It is estimated that the man married a new wife, so he sent the eldest son's family from the previous wife to the countryside, and the father and son may still have some disagreements.

It is impossible to get any big benefits from the Meng family in such a relationship, but give some silver to let the Mi family marry one of the concubines to their son, so that they can have a family of in-laws who are big officials, I heard that this Meng family also has a daughter who is a princess, and that is a fairy-like figure.

With such a relationship, it will be much more convenient for her husband to do business in the future, maybe this princess and aunt can come to congratulate and send a congratulatory gift, which is worthy of their family to boast about for decades, and no one dares to bully them.

So the woman tried a few words, and as soon as Mi heard that someone was willing to pay a large amount of money for a concubine she disliked. Who refuses? Naturally, I agreed.

Of course, she didn't lack the heart to see that the Meng family didn't care about this matter, after all, she was also from a beautiful background, knowing that the Meng family didn't care about their family anymore, and she wouldn't agree to marry a businessman, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, she just said that she missed her daughter, and after taking Meng Simengnian back, she casually sent a sedan chair, and when the Meng family knew, the raw rice had already been cooked. What else?

Madame Monte listened to the butler's account. was so angry that his whole body trembled, this Mi Shi was really excessive.

It seems that she should be warned, but as the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes. Michael's such a shrew. There is only silver in the eyes. It's short-sighted, and it's really about to fall out, but it's not a good thing.

Happened. Month came again to say goodbye.

Mrs. Meng didn't mean anything else, she just had something in her heart and wanted to find someone to talk to, so she casually told Meng Si about it, saving Meng Si from learning from others, and immediately comforted her, saying that she would never let Mi do such nonsense, so that she could rest assured that she would definitely find a good family for the two sisters in the future.

Who knows, Meng Si lowered his head and thought for a long time before he looked up and asked, "Grandmother, is the family of the person who is asking for marriage surnamed Chu?" ”

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, and then turned her head to look at the housekeeper who was still waiting beside her.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law said: "Miss Huisi's words, it is indeed the surname Chu, this surname is rare, there are very few people nearby, and the surname Chu is this family." ”

Meng Si blushed, bit his lip and said, "If grandmother is not embarrassed...... The granddaughter is willing to marry into the Chu family. ”

"Why is that?" Mrs. Meng first asked in surprise, and then remembered her daughter's relationship with Zhou Juren, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she asked, "Have you seen the son of the Chu family?" ”

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng was a little annoyed, the guards on the Zhuangzi were like this, one or two of them could easily go out of the village to meet outsiders, so that the guards were unaware.

"No, no, my granddaughter hasn't seen it, and I don't know the son of the Chu family." Meng Si has been taught by Mama for so long, and knows what the crime of giving private advice is, even if it is in the country, this kind of thing is not very honorable.

"And why? You must know that this is a lifelong event in your life, you really don't have to mind, your mother's words, as long as your grandmother is there, she can't bully you. "Mrs. Meng still has some pity for Monsi, a sensible child.

"My granddaughter hasn't seen Mr. Chu, but I've seen Mrs. Chu." There was a deep gratitude in Month's eyes, and he told the truth.

It turned out that Meng Shen's family was sent to Zhuangzi at the beginning, and after Meng Shen ran away and never came back, Mi was irritable, and he was angry with the two sisters all day long, beating and scolding them at every turn, and sometimes they couldn't even eat enough.

On that day, the two sisters had not finished their rice for two days, and Meng Nian was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and she took the frozen pine ball and gnawed it until her mouth was full of blood.

Month couldn't bear it, so he sneaked out of the dog hole in the corner to find food.

At that time, the winter snow had not melted, and the soil was frozen and stiff, where could I find food? She walked for a while, heard a dog barking, and thought that if a dog barked, there would be someone, maybe begging for a little food, so she went over.

I didn't see anyone, but I saw a big dog leashed behind him, and there was a dog basin in front of the big dog, which was full of leftovers.

Month was cold and hungry, and his mind was numb.

At that time, I didn't even think about it, so when I saw something to eat, I rushed forward, picked up the dog food and was about to run.

The dog barked, attracting a big man who had a dog, and he caught up with her in three or two steps.

When she thought she was going to be beaten, the big man looked at her a few times, then said pitiful, and then said that it was for dogs, and people couldn't eat it, and there were leftover nests in the kitchen, so let her wait outside.

Then the big man and a woman came out, and took a small basket of nests, saying that they were for her.

The woman also said that her husband's surname is Chu, and everyone calls her Aunt Chu, who is the mistress of this house, and if she is hungry in the future, she can just come here, and she can still afford a few nests, so she doesn't have to ......

Month blushed, unable to say the last few words.

But Madame Monte guessed, and thought that the woman said that there was no need to rob the vicious dogs of food.

The grace of a meal, probably like this, the impression that Aunt Chu left on Meng Si must be very good, so Meng Si was moved when he heard that the Chu family was courting.

The Aunt Chu in Meng Si's mouth seems to be a little different from the housekeeper's mouth, of course, people are multi-faceted, and people with good hearts may not be without scheming.

But Mrs. Meng felt that maybe this was fate.

Since Meng Si himself is willing, he will inquire about the character of the Chu family's son, if he is also a serious person, what if he fulfills Meng Si's wish?

Thinking that Meng Si longed for a relative who could give her a few nests when she was hungry and cold, the brocade clothes and jade food she gave may not be more precious than a few nests and nests, and a woman who pities a beggar girl so much must not be far behind her daughter-in-law.

I want to find a good home for Meng Si, but this good home is not easy to find after all, the family is good, the poor talent is wronged Meng Si, the talent is good, the poor family is too complicated, but the poor child was oppressed by his mother in the first half of his life, and he must not want to live in the shadow of others in the second half of his life.

It is normal for Meng to want a kind mother-in-law, and it is not impossible for the Chu family to do so.

Earlier, I thought that Meng Si had the shadow of Meng Xiaofu and studied hard, and I thought that she also hoped to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but I didn't expect that this girl had a lot of ideas and was not blinded by wealth.

This is more similar to his daughter Meng Yan.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng didn't know why, a thought flashed in her mind, does Xiaofu really like to fly on the branches as a phoenix? I never thought about this problem, but now that I think about it, it seems that before getting married, Xiaofu didn't show much joy, and even fell ill.

Madame Meng didn't dare to think about it, so she quickly shook off the ridiculous thoughts in her mind and shifted her thoughts back to Monsi.

With the identity of Meng Si, it is unrealistic to want to join a high-ranking family with a simple population and good everything, it is better to marry into a small household, marry into a merchant family, even if she is a concubine, people will not look down on her, some of the rules she has learned are enough for a lifetime in a small family, and you don't have to worry about taking a wrong step.

Mi also wants to promote this family business, as long as the son of the Chu family has no bad problems and is an honest person, this family business will have the best of both worlds.

The only trouble now is, what does Meng also think, he is now a scholar and a literati style, will he agree to marry his granddaughter into a merchant family?

However, Meng Shen's big family, who can guarantee that girls will marry good families, and men can marry everyone's beautiful girls, and Meng Shen will not care too much about these things.

It's a big deal to use Xiaofu to press him again, anyway, Xiaofu is closed now, and Meng Ye doesn't have many opportunities to see her, and he won't confront Xiaofu for this little thing.

The big families are a little particular, but there are also a lot of low-level marriages that are not taken seriously, as long as they don't make a lot of publicity, who can care about these little things? The men outside must not like to ask around like ordinary three aunts and six wives. (To be continued......)
