Chapter 249: Thoughts
Dingwang's mansion.
Even Yufeng listened to the report of his subordinates.
Luo Cao said that before Miss Meng Er also said with great interest that she would embroider the wedding dress by hand, without pretending to be the hands of others, saying that it was more auspicious to sew every stitch and thread by hand, and also asked the mothers around her, that style was simpler, because she was afraid that she would not have enough time to sew...... Later, Mrs. Meng arrived, and was a little surprised to hear Miss Meng Er say that she wanted to embroider the wedding dress by hand, so she asked a few words, nothing special, talking about the dowry and companion room, and then Mrs. Meng specifically mentioned whether she needed to find a few more decent maids to marry, it seemed that there was something in the words, Miss Meng Er sent the maids out, Luo Cao didn't hear what the two said, and then, a little maid named Alan rushed in, crying and begging Miss Meng Er to find a maid named Tangerine, saying that it was missing, at that time, Miss Meng Er and Mrs. Meng's faces were not good, and it took a while for Miss Meng Er to say that the maid called Tangerine went back to the countryside, The mother-in-law dragged the maid named Alan away, and then the maids went out again, Mrs. Meng and Miss Meng Er said anything and no one heard it, only to see that Mrs. Meng had obvious horror on her face when she left, Miss Meng Er was stunned for a while, and suddenly picked up the scissors and cut the Yunxia brocade into pieces, and they didn't dare to ask. β
Lian Yufeng frowned and asked, "Did Mrs. Meng do anything wrong before, did anyone look for her?"
The subordinate said: "There are very few guests in the Meng family these days, and Mrs. Meng has never been out, just ordinary relatives come and go to give gifts and the like, except for the fourth Mrs. Quan who came last time, that is, Mrs. Meng's sister Mrs. Dong, sent a mother-in-law to Mrs. Meng to send some fresh fruit, but according to the subordinates, sending fruits is just an excuse, there should be some letters or something, and the subordinates inquired again, Mrs. Quan Si had been to Dong's house before. There was only an hour between the woman and the woman who gave the fruit. β
"I see, you go down and keep staring. Even Yufeng commanded lightly.
After the subordinates retired. Lian Yufeng changed into black clothes and ordered Huang Yusong to follow, and he was about to go out.
Huang Yusong saw that even Yufeng was dressed in black, and he didn't order to prepare a car or anything like that, obviously he didn't want to alarm anyone, so he hurriedly asked, "But the prince is going to Mengfu?"
Lian Yufeng nodded. "I have to go and see. Ask her what happened. β
Huang Yusong said: "Lord Wang, it's getting late. How do you ...... Go directly to the door, I'm afraid that it will cause gossip, it's not good for Miss Meng Er, since the Meng family lost a maid, the Meng Mansion is a lot more heavily guarded, after all, Master Meng was born as a general and once led the troops to fight. There is no shortage of skilled people under him, if one is not careful...... It's easy to get big. β
Even Yufeng didn't understand this truth, but if he cared, Su Yiqing actually cut the silk that was ready to make the wedding dress, and when he heard her say that he was going to sew the wedding dress by himself, the joy in his heart was beyond words. Although the question last time. She didn't answer positively, but it was clearly an affirmative answer.
But now she is cutting the silk into pieces with her own hands. Did it mean that she regretted it? What did this Madame Meng tell her? Could it be that it was that that that she knew?
The bystanders were clear, and Huang Yusong persuaded: "Lord Wang, even if you want to see Miss Meng Er, you can find another good time tomorrow, if you are not in a hurry at this time, why bother to provoke people's handles, Miss Meng Er may not be happy." β
Even Yu Feng thought about it, so he put down his anxious mood and talked about it tomorrow.
β¦β¦
In the main courtyard of the Meng family, Meng also loudly reprimanded Mrs. Meng, "What the hell is going on with your family? At this juncture, offering the beauty to the king is obviously a slap in the face of my Meng family, in the end, it is an in-law, even if I am now a lowly official, your family will fall into the well and turn their faces and deny people too quickly." β
Madame Meng said expressionlessly: "My relationship with the Quan family, the lord knows very well, what are they going to do, how can I stop it?"
"You pushed it all the way, why didn't you say that when you wanted to get married?" Meng also held back the fire in his heart, because he was demoted by the official three levels, and was taken aback by Lian Yufeng that day, his momentum was shortened, and he didn't dare to get angry at Mrs. Meng's almost provocative attitude, thinking about it afterwards, he was too depressed, but he was frustrated for a while, and even the woman who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere in front of him on weekdays dared to throw his face, and he hadn't reached the point where the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the incident happened suddenly, he didn't react for a while, and he has been thinking about finding a reason to get this breath back for the past few days, and the matter of the right family is a good reason.
Mrs. Meng said lightly: "What does the lord think of me? This matter is said to be done by the right family, but the right family is a big family, there are countless children, and the roots are intricate, and I am not in the same room as the beauty, I can't control it at all, of course, if the lord wants me to go and talk ruthlessly, saying that I will cut off contact with the third room or even the right family in the future, then I have nothing to say, I will definitely do it, please believe me, I am also angry about this matter." β
Meng was also choked back, if he hadn't been demoted, he was angry, he could have asked Mrs. Meng like this, but now it is not appropriate to make enemies, a helpless family is better than a hostile family, but is it so good to give up? Looking at Mrs. Meng's appearance, the anger in his heart is even stronger, well, there is no way to take the power, there is no way to take this woman......
"Master, yesterday my sister sent my mother-in-law to send us some fresh fruit, and the mother-in-law told me that the old man of the Dong family intends to marry the Hu family in Beixiang for his nephew. Seeing that Meng also had a bad face, Mrs. Meng had a sign of being rude to her, so she couldn't help but suffer a loss in front of her, so she hurriedly threw out this sentence.
The Hu family in Beixiang, that is the peak of his current peak, Meng Ye held back the breath in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"
Mrs. Meng smiled: "The mother-in-law just mentioned it, and it was not officially decided, how can there be an accurate, even if the two families have that meaning, it is normal for various reasons to not get married, isn't our family like this?" But since the mother-in-law said this, it must not be groundless, the two families are not ordinary people, and it is not to say that they will get married, the Dong family has only returned to the city for a short time, and others do not understand their children, and they also do not understand others, fortunately, the children of the two families are not very old, and they can look at each other slowly, it just so happens that the birthday of Mrs. Hu the day after tomorrow, there are also posts to our house, the Dong family's nephews and parents are not in the city, and now my sister is pregnant, it is inconvenient to go out, ask me to help pay attention to it...... Of course, there are a lot of things going on in our family now, and the Hu family has no friendship with our family, if the master doesn't like it, I won't go, and it's not rude to give a congratulatory gift. β
"No, since they sincerely invite, let's go for a trip. Meng Ye hurriedly said, and then caught a glimpse of Mrs. Meng's seemingly smug face, the breath that had just been suppressed came up again, thought about it, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to write Xiaofu to your name." β
"That's as it should be. Madame Meng did not hesitate or be unhappy at all, and immediately responded.
Meng was even more depressed, originally thought that Mrs. Meng would be a little hesitant to say this, and even not agree, so that he could use the topic to play, but he didn't expect Mrs. Meng to agree quickly, so that he didn't know what to say next.
With such a look, Mrs. Meng secretly disdained it in her heart, she was just a concubine, and if she was recorded in her name, she would be recorded in her name, but she would just give a little more dowry, and according to Meng Xiaofu's family, this dowry would definitely not be saved, and it would not damage her interests at all.
Disdain is disdainful, it is related to Meng Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng immediately thought of a question, and she couldn't care about being angry with Meng Ye, and reminded: "Master, it should be recorded in my name, but just add a stroke to the family tree, you can't make a big deal or even invite guests, so as not to let outsiders talk about Xiaofu's background and anger the prince Ding." β
Meng also thinks about it and makes sense, some things are easy to be vague in the past, when he marries, he compares the specifications of his concubine, and reminds everyone with great fanfare that he is going to marry an inconspicuous concubine, acting in secret, vague in the past, maybe others still think that Xiaofu has always been recorded in the name of Mrs. Meng is a concubine.
Mrs. Meng couldn't find anything wrong with Meng, and didn't want to give him time to think of other tricks, so she said, "Master." If there is nothing to do, I will go to the busy first, since I have decided to go to the banquet of the Hu family, I have to prepare a congratulatory gift, I will go to the treasury to see if there is anything suitable. β
"Go ahead. Meng can't think of any difficult solutions, Mrs. Meng carried him out of the Hu family, he was a little shorter, his current errand is not good, not to mention that he is not doing well, and he has to be careful if someone will make him a stumbling block, if he makes a little mistake again, he should be demoted to a foreign place to be a sesame mung bean official, then there is really no hope at all.

Hu Mansion.
The old man of the Hu family once lived in a product, and served as the prince and the prince, but it is a pity that the prince who assisted him died of an emergency illness and did not inherit the throne, but the knowledge of the old man of the Hu family is recognized by the government and the opposition, and there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, because of this, after the death of the former prince, the princes who are interested in competing for the throne are attracted in many ways, but the old man of the Hu family is very slippery, not to offend any party but also did not stand in that camp, this way of protecting himself is of course to reduce the danger, but also hindered the career, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the old man of the Hu family was idle after the autumn reckoning, and the children of the Hu family have not been reused and have been suppressed, and the old man of the Hu family died depressedAfter the death of the old man of the Hu family, the emperor may feel that the punishment is enough, and the Hu family has changed his attitude but has improved, especially Hu Tianpeng, the current head of the Hu family...... In his early forties, he was already the left waiter of the Criminal Department, from the official position of the second grade, it was rare that he was both civil and military, and the heirloom of poetry and books did not take the imperial examination route, but was born in martial arts, and he really fought the battlefield with a punch and a kick.
