Chapter 261: The Way

Miss Hu marryed, with her scheming and viciousness, she would not let the Hong family have a good life, Miss Hu San married, no matter what compensation the big house gave to the third room, it couldn't make up for the resentment caused by the destruction of a daughter, how did Master Hu San do, she didn't know, but Mrs. Hu San was able to tell her daughter such an affordable family affair as the Dong family, which showed that she really loved her daughter, and she could bear that her daughter was ruined like that, but the culprit had nothing? And jumping in front of his eyes every day, being praised by unknown people and looking for a husband who is both talented and beautiful?

This is still a noble family, for the sake of the title of the brothers there are some knots, each of them go to the official path, the relationship is not big, but the civil official family is different, there must be an ancestral title can be guarded by the noble, the civil official pays more attention to the family inheritance of the brothers and the same heart, once there is a suspicion, these civil officials are easy to be attacked.

Of course, if the Hu family is really in trouble, they will have no time to calculate the Meng family, but just in case, we still have to beware of the movements of Miss Hu.

As for Lian Yufeng's thoughts, she didn't expect that she had gotten some information about the Hu family from Mrs. Meng's mouth in the past few days, and she guessed a little, the Hu family, the official eunuch family, the scholarly family, naturally has the arrogance of ordinary literati, which is also the core of the family inheritance, they don't like to form a party for personal gain, so they can perseverance after a few storms, and they will not be bought.

It is very difficult to get them to be loyal by pinching the Hu family, even if they compromise for a while, they are easy to be resentful, and when they can't bear it, they will bite back, and they will be bribed by others if they can't bear it. It's not loyal, it's not worth bothering, it's completely suppressed, the movement is too big, and it's easy to attract criticism.

So now even Yufeng did it, just fanned a few handfuls on the side of a small flame without a trace, if the Hu family is smart enough or can really be as upright as they have always preached. Naturally, this little flame can be extinguished. If they want to hide it, then the fire will only burn brighter and brighter.

This is the so-called thousand-mile embankment destroyed in the anthill, and a small descendant can destroy a century-old family.

Even Yufeng extinguished the opponent. Even if one day, of course, what he did is known, no one can criticize him, only that he is righteous and righteous. Look at the big picture. It was the Hu family who made a mess of themselves and raised such a vicious daughter. And the head of the family was confused, and his daughter did something wrong but let her niece take the bag.

"By the way, mother, Mrs. Quan is the fourth wife. I can ask so much about it. Su Yiqing said and took out a piece of paper from the dresser on the side, handed it to Mrs. Meng and said, "Mother will give this to Mrs. Quan." With this, they will be able to take out some of the goods that have been seized from their house. ”

Madame Monte nodded and took the paper. I didn't ask what it was and where it came from, and then I went out to see Mrs. Quan.

When Mrs. Quan heard this, she put away the paper as if she had obtained a treasure, and then she was a little embarrassed: "Second sister, can only the goods in our room be brought out?"

Mrs. Meng said lightly: "Sister, you should know that it is not easy to mention some of them. ”

"But...... The third uncle's side. Mrs. Quan Si also knows that she can't exchange such a favor with the news she inquired about, but if she lets the clansmen know that their goods can be taken back, and other people's can't, those people won't let them go. ”

Mrs. Meng hesitated for a moment and said: "I'll ask our lord again to see if he has any other way, you first quietly take out the goods in your own room, and later I will ask our lord who can talk about this matter, and then tell you, as for how to tell the clan later, my sister will do it herself, and it will definitely cost a lot of money." ”

Mrs. Quan Si understood, and asked again: "Do you want the Hu family to continue to listen?"

Mrs. Meng seemed a little surprised: "What does the Hu family have to do with our family? But my sister often comes to sit and sit when she has time, and it is not bad to talk to me, who is an older sister." ”

Mrs. Quan Si can understand it at one point, and everything is in her words.

A few days later, the news that Mrs. Quan's room could get the goods reached the ears of the rest of the people, and the third master of Quan led a group of people to ask for the guilt.

When Fourth Master Quan saw this battle, he was a little weak in fright on the spot.

On the contrary, Mrs. Quan Si faced everyone's questioning, and said unhurriedly: "A few uncles and nephews, nephews and daughters-in-law are about to tell a few uncles and uncles that the nephews and daughters-in-law have found a way to lead the goods out. ”

Hearing this, Master Quan San and the others, who originally wanted to ask the teacher for their crimes, suddenly became overjoyed, changed their flattering faces, and said in a loud voice: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are really capable, I found the way so quickly, whose way did I take?"

Mrs. Quan Si said: "It's a captain He, don't look at the small official position of this captain, the county official is not as good as the current management, he is the person in charge of the caretaker's goods, as long as he agrees to let him go, it's easy to say anything, it's just ...... This begging for someone to do things will cost money after all, and last time several uncles also said that they should spend as much as they want. ”

"That's as it should be. The third master glanced at each other and asked tentatively, "I don't know how much my nephew and daughter-in-law spent?"

Mrs. Quan Si said a number, and as soon as she said it, Master Quan San gasped, which was too much, and Mrs. Quan Si immediately sighed: " I am a woman's family, the husband has no official position, has no friendship with others, and even can't enter his house, and I don't hide it from a few uncles and uncles, I am looking for an outer room that he keeps outside, so that I can say that I just got the release note, but if a few uncles and uncles have a way, I will go to Captain He in person, or you can spend less, or you can find someone else, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are incompetent, so it can only be like this. ”

After the last incident, Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to touch the side of these things anymore, at least she didn't dare to touch the side of the Quan family again, to be honest, she was not so ruthless with the partners of outsiders, at most she lost money, it was no big deal, doing business, there were already profits and losses, so as not to say that after the loss, she forced a woman to find a way to intercede everywhere, and now the road has been pointed out to them, whether they find it or not.

This silver is indeed ruthless, almost eighty percent of the goods, which is equivalent to eight thousand taels of silver. Get back 10,000 taels of goods, but it's better than losing all your money, don't give it, the goods worth 10,000 taels will be gone, give at least a little, these goods can be sold at a high price after being shipped back, although it should not be able to make up for the loss. But it's better than losing all your money.

The losses of the crowd were relatively smaller. But in addition to these, the third master of Quan San, as well as the one he gave to the beauty before, the loss is really big.

Mrs. Kwon Si felt very lucky. The people of the Quan family did not completely believe in the third master of Quan and agreed to do business together, but they did not give the silver directly to the third master of Quan, but each sent loyal servants to take it. It was not until he was convinced that he had seen the goods that he gathered the money, and when he received the goods, he divided them among them. Escorting each other is just to pass the customs together, otherwise it will be completely mixed together and it will be a grasshopper on a rope.

The rest of the people are okay to say, after everyone has discussed. I discussed with Captain He whether he could have less, but Captain He didn't get in with the salt. It is said that a penny of silver cannot be less, and love is not necessary. People still wish you didn't want it, all the goods were confiscated, and everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and give out the silver.

As for Mrs. Meng's father, the second master of Quan really couldn't get so much silver in one room, so he really couldn't, so he had to go to the door of Meng's house and beg his own daughter.

Mrs. Meng and the father and daughter of the second master of Quan have not really spoken for many years, and when there is no way to avoid it, their father and daughter are just a false greeting, and they can see the hatred in each other's eyes, and now the second master of the right has gray hair, Mrs. Meng still has a grudge in her heart, she is living so miserably, outsiders seem to have both her children and daughters, but all kinds of hardships are only known to herself.

Hate to hate, my biological father has begged to come to the door, I can't give no face at all, otherwise it will have a bad reputation.

Different from the note to Mrs. Quan's fourth wife, this time the note was written by the cronies of the prince Ding, and the officers and soldiers who pressed the goods were sincerely afraid to personally send the goods out and apologize repeatedly, but the result was a little bit, and it was actually a few more bundles than the second master of the right to be detained before, I think it was those officers and soldiers who were afraid of offending people, so they added more, anyway, there were more goods suppressed, and it didn't matter if other people's families gave less.

Since he turned his face with his daughter, due to poor management, the family property has slowly shrunk, and the second master Quan, whose status in the clan is not as good as day by day, finally raised his eyebrows, so that he couldn't help but publicize this matter everywhere in the clan.

The clansmen who had a lot of blood were envious and jealous at the same time, they beat their chests and regretted it, they knew that they would follow the second master of Quan to the Meng's house to beg, but as a result, they followed the third master of Quan to toss for a long time, not to mention the wrongful money, and offended the Meng family, which is really worth the loss.

At this time, the role of the fourth wife of Quan came into play, and she went around the wind, saying that she had said it earlier, let the second master of Quan say, but the third master of Quan refused to probably and did not believe that the second master of Quan could persuade the Meng family, and even thought that the Meng family had no choice, so he got a beauty to disgust others, and thought about who the prince was? What kind of beauty has not been seen? Can you be easily confused? In order to determine the status of the prince, if you really don't want to marry this family, there is a way, and you still have to wronged yourself? This is a concubine, not a concubine, not even those messy singers, not if you marry back, you don't like to say you don't want it.

Although this second Miss Meng'er is a concubine, but the door tiger girl, Mrs. Meng taught her well, she saw it that day, really dignified and dignified ladies, how can those foxes be compared?

Facts speak louder than words, lies can come true if they are told a thousand times, not to mention that Mrs. Quan Si is not nonsense at all, at the birthday banquet of Hufu that day, there were also many noblewomen who saw Meng Xiaofu, saying that their appearance may be exaggerated, but their behavior is really not faulty.

After the hard work of Mrs. Quan's fourth wife, those who were not optimistic about this family business couldn't help but think again.

And Mrs. Meng gradually guessed the intentions of this daughter, this Meng Xiaofu is not more important to the mouth of the fourth wife, but the Quan family is her maiden family after all, right, Meng Xiaofu's nominal foreign family is not easy to offend too ruthlessly, but it is not easy to cheapen them, it is equivalent to giving a jujube with a stick, so that the Quan family will not be annoyed and angry, and talk nonsense outside to ruin their reputation.

This is more effective than threatening to curry favor, and if you think about it deeply, maybe it is not an accident that the goods of the right family were detained, and the scheming of those who are in high positions is unimaginable to others.

On this day, Mrs. Meng came to Su Yiqing with another post, and said: "Fu'er, this is a post from General Lin's mansion, Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet, invite our whole family to go, Mrs. Lin specially went to the house to deliver the post, what she meant in her words was that she also specially invited you, do you want to go?"

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Mother, I will be out of the cabinet on the eighth day of the first month of next month, and there is only more than a month left." The argument is that you shouldn't go out, or you don't go. ”

Mrs. Meng actually thought the same way, don't say anything to happen later, think about it and said: "General Lin has a friendship with your father, and the two of us are bound to save face, so I will let your sister Yan stay with you." ”

"Nope. Sister Yan must attend. Su Yiqing looked at Mrs. Meng. "It's hard to guarantee that no one will show a little bit of a tone about what happened in Hu Mansion last time, if Sister Yan doesn't go, others will have a lot of speculation. Instead of this, go generously and appear in front of everyone, and the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

"But. If your sister Yan goes, in case ....... "Madame Meng was really afraid.

"Let the green vine accompany Sister Yan. Let Sister Yan not let the green vine leave at any time, and the mother will find another maid for Sister Yan, who does not need to be too clever but obedient and has more strength. It's better to know how to do martial arts. Su Yiqing has observed Meng Yan, and after the last incident, she seems to have woken up a lot. No one can take care of anyone forever for a lifetime, and you have to stand up on your own to protect yourself.

Mrs. Meng felt that it made sense. The daughter is not young, she can't hide from people all her life, she doesn't get tough, she is as cowardly as Miss Hu San, it's really everything, no matter who she wants to give her daughter to in the future, she will not suffer too much if she is stronger, she must not have the heart of harming others, and she must not have the heart of guarding against others.

Out of the small courtyard where Su Yiqing lived, Mrs. Meng turned her head to look at Meng Yan.

Meng Yan has been digesting the last Hu family incident these days, and Mrs. Meng will also let go of the trivial things at hand, enlighten her daughter, and then pick and choose some dark things that her daughter didn't know about before, these things have subverted Meng Yan's previous cognition, and she can't help but be a little dazed.

"Wild goose. Seeing that her daughter was demented again, Mrs. Meng didn't even notice her coming in, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, is she too impatient? But this life is different from the past, as Xiaofu is about to join the palace and control the entire backyard of the Dingwang Mansion, the Meng family will gradually become conspicuous, and there will be more people who want to deal with them at that time, and the means will be more skillful, so they have to be careful.

"Mother. When Meng Yan saw her mother, she hurriedly stood up, thought about it and sat down again, and only put some needles and threads scattered on the bed into the basket.

Mrs. Meng combed her daughter's broken sideburns and said softly: "The birthday banquet of Old Lady Lin of General Lin's Mansion the day after tomorrow, you will go with me." ”

"No......" Meng Yan was a little frightened when she heard the birthday banquet now, and simply said, "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to go." ”

"Silly child, why would a mother want to go to such a feast? But this is a normal social interaction, and it is not okay not to go. Mrs. Meng sighed, "Mother knows that you are afraid, but you can't hide at home for the rest of your life, Mother has thought about it, you don't have to go after your studies, you just follow your mother, and Mother will teach you some basics." ”

If she doesn't go to school, Meng Yan is mentally prepared, and Mama Qing and others have also hinted to her before that girls of her age should stay at home and learn something else, but she really doesn't want to go to such a banquet again, most of those noble girls she doesn't know, and the little half doesn't like her because of the relationship with Meng Xiaofu, and there are still one or two who have a good time, because a noble girl like the lord of Xiuwen is present, and she doesn't dare to deal with her, she feels the heat of the world for the first time.

Seeing that her daughter was silent, and there were worries in her eyes that she had never had before, Mrs. Meng comforted: "Don't worry too much, what happened last time is rare, and my mother will never touch this time in her life, this time it is still the green vine to accompany you, and the mother will let Pan'er next to you accompany you, Pan'er's father is the family's nursing home, she has learned a little boxing, not very smart, but it is enough to deal with those weak women." ”

Meng Yan bit her lip and said, "Mother, it is right for Pan'er to accompany her daughter, but the green vine is...... The people around the second sister, the second sister she ...... After all, she has been in the country for so many years, will she ......"

"Don't say it. Mrs. Meng's eyes flashed with fierceness, and then she lowered her voice and said, "Yan'er, mother doesn't know and doesn't want to know if this is your own thought, or who is chewing the root of your tongue in your ear, but these days Mother has told you so much, and your second sister also said so much last time, don't you think for yourself at all?" Your second sister doesn't necessarily like you, but she will never harm you, at least not for no reason, as long as you don't go against her, she won't hurt you, she is about to marry into the palace, this road is very difficult, you need sisters to help, you are blood relatives, you should watch and help each other. ”

Meng Yan understands the truth, but the previous education is different from the concubine, but now this concubine sister will always be pressed on her head, like the last time she went out, those noble girls must be ashamed, thinking of those mocking eyes, her heart is like a big stone pressed on it, out of breath.

Mrs. Meng caught the unwillingness in her daughter's eyes, stared into her daughter's eyes, and said, "Yan'er, are you unwilling? But the road of life is still long, who knows what will happen in the future? Even if your second sister is now married to a noble son-in-law, and your wife is expensive with her husband, you can't compare with it for a while, who can guarantee that you can't be expensive with your mother and son in a few decades?" Enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren, this is the greatest happiness of a woman, your second sister is about to live this kind of life surrounded by enemies is really not worthy of envy, if you can choose, the mother will never want her daughter to marry such a high-ranking and powerful person, you must know that the reputation of the prince is not groundless. ”

Meng Yan bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Mother, last time the county lord of Xiuwen said that it was the second sister who seduced the prince Ding, is it true?"

"Of course not. Mrs. Meng immediately denied, "The family matter was proposed by your father, and your second sister and Lord Ding have never met before." ”

"Mother, they all said this earlier, but the county lord of Xiuwen also made sense, how noble is the prince, how can he agree to marry a concubine raised in the countryside, mother, now, the daughter wants to hear the truth. Meng Yan looked back firmly at Madame Meng's gaze.

Mrs. Meng said categorically: " Really no, the family matter was proposed by your father, but why did the prince agree, I also thought about it, the only reason is that your second sister's previous attack on the table Xiàn reached the ears of the prince Ding, in the face of a robber attack, can still be in danger, this kind of boudoir woman who is not panicked after the attack is very rare, you must know that at that time, your aunt's young master Dong wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape alone, which caused the robber's idea and killed him, and Miss Dong cried and screamed in front of the soldiers of the king of Ding, and the noisy shouting was very gaffe, in contrast, your second sister's table is really admirable, and the prince is in a high position, The wife he needs is definitely not a weak sheep who can't protect herself, in all fairness, after getting along with your second sister these days, do you think she is very powerful? The position of the princess must be able to sit down with someone like your second sister, otherwise if you are accidentally calculated, even the prince will be ashamed, when the soldiers under the prince saved your second sister, they will inevitably mention a few words when they go back, and the prince has the heart to remember, it just so happened that your father mentioned the family matter, and he agreed to push the boat down the river, which is not strange, this is also called marriage destiny. ”

The explanation is reasonable, Meng Yan can't find any flaws, and thinks that her mother is reasonable, but many of the noblewomen's statements can't be justified, for example, they said that the second sister is not very good-looking, and she is old and lowly, but on the one hand, she said that the second sister took the initiative to seduce the prince Ding, and the prince has not seen a woman in his eight lives, how can a woman who is useless in their eyes easily seduce the prince who is in a high position at a young age?

"Mother, daughter knows it's wrong. After figuring it out, Meng Yan admitted her mistake very sincerely.

Mrs. Meng patted her daughter's hand and comforted: " It's good for young people to know their mistakes, remember, you don't need to deliberately please your second sister, but you can't humiliate her, and even when outsiders slander your second sister with words, remember to defend your second sister, otherwise it will only make outsiders see jokes, sisters are not a good reputation, in addition, your surname is Meng, and you are also the daughter of the Meng family, in the eyes of outsiders, you are a family, the same spirit, one is prosperous and one moment frustrated, your second sister has a bad reputation, you can't run, others don't know, you should know yourself, since these days together, your second sister has made a mistake(To be continued)
