Chapter 244: Strong Contrast
Although she was a little moved, Su Yiqing was still silent, it was easy to nod her head, but it would be really difficult to do things in the future, she asked herself, she might not be able to do it, so she didn't want to promise.
Even Yu Feng's face showed obvious disappointment, but he still said softly: "You don't have to rush to answer me, think about it carefully, but even if you don't agree, I will still do my best." β
β¦β¦
In Meng Yan's house, Mrs. Meng was softly comforting her daughter, who had been restless for several days, "Yan'er, it's okay, Lord Ding is just worried about your second sister." β
Meng Yan squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, almost crushing it, and then said: "Mother, the second sister and the prince of Ding have not married after all, how can the prince of Ding take someone to control my Mengfu and live? I have lived in the mansion for a few days, which is too much...... It is not in line with the ceremony. β
Mrs. Meng combed the hair on her daughter's head, and comforted her gently: ", Prince Ding didn't control our Mengfu, it's just that he is in a high position, and he is afraid that some villains will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, not to mention what is this, the princes and ministers in the court have a lot of ridiculous things, so they said that the son of General Shao, called Shao Li, when you were a child, his sister came to our house a few times before and gave you a few rare embroidery patterns, do you remember?" In order to marry a singer in a green mansion as his wife, Shao Li was stunned to lead the troops to surround the house of his future father-in-law who was married to him, and forced his future father-in-law to make a note to dissolve the marriage contract, which caused an uproar in the court, so that General Shao, who had no way to teach his son, was demoted to a bitter cold place because of this, and Shao Li was also sent to the border pass to be an ordinary soldier, and everyone thought that the Shao family was finished this time, who expected that Shao Li would kill the enemy bravely at the border pass, and repeatedly made great contributions, so that the Shao family returned to the capital again, and it was more beautiful than before. The relationship with the singer has also become a temporary lie, and the literati who belittled him before have changed to praise, in the end. It's just a little bit of a wind and moon thing, an informal table. The saint also said that if there is a natural punishment, of course, meritorious service must be rewarded, and if a man can do something like Shao Li, it will not be in vain for a man. β
Shao Li's story is widely circulated in the community, and Meng Yan naturally knows that the woman in the boudoir is quite envious of the singer when she talks about it, and she can be so favored by the man. It's just that these two things seem to be different, and the Shao family was severely punished back then, and they were promoted by virtue of their military merits afterwards, can it be said that the prince will also be punished? Is it the same for their family?
After the Shao family got up again, the Yue family was always blackened, saying that they would rather exile the whole family to marry a singer than marry his daughter, and it was so stiff that there must be something wrong with the daughter of that family, and finally forced the family to send their daughter to the temple and couldn't stay in the capital.
There is a huge disparity between the power of the Meng family and the Dingwang Mansion, and his father was demoted by the official by three levels. She didn't know the specific reason, and now that there are accidents at home one after another, she is really worried.
Mrs. Meng felt sorry for her daughter's young age. There was the same worry in her eyes as she did back then, and she felt that there were some things that could not be hidden from the child, so that she could know the truth, at least part of the truth, and simply said: "Yan'er, there are some things that my mother didn't want to tell you, but now that you are older, you should be someone else's daughter-in-law in two years, and you have to know something." Do you remember your big sister?"
Thinking of her big sister, Meng Yan was a little disgusted. She still remembers how crazy her big sister was when she was a child. Once, taking advantage of the maid's unpreparedness, she actually pushed the young her into the small pool, but fortunately, the nurse has been following closely, so she said: "I don't have a big sister." β
Mrs. Meng sighed and said, "Mother wants to sue you, from a certain point of view, your eldest sister is also a poor person, she died at a young age, and she died so disgracefully. Falling from the clouds suddenly, people will go crazy, before I got married, I heard people say how good your father was to your big sister, how he loved his daughter, but after marrying, not to mention anything else, he was even lazy to say two words when he saw your big sister, tiger poison does not eat children is not applicable at all times, you didn't understand it when you were a child, now that you're older, think about it again, your father has half a point to protect your big sister?"
Meng Yan wanted to say that the eldest sister was vicious, but the eldest sister was only * years old, still a child, people are not clear about the truth of the matter, they have a grudge against themselves and their mothers, but the means are too intense, the father has really not done anything except blindly punished, only let people lock up the big sister, watch tightly, so after a few years, the big sister was hurriedly married, and then received the news of the death of the eldest sister, the father did not react, and the eldest brother in the countryside sons have given birth to several, but the father never looks, nor let them come back, I heard that they are living a very poor life, but the father only said that a big man should support his own family, not to mention that he also gave them the grange property, enough for the family to eat, don't careγ
If the eldest brother and sister have a grudge against their father because of their biological mother's relationship, and the father doesn't want to care about them, then what about the second sister? These days, she doesn't know anything and can't hear anything in the house, and her father didn't care about the second sister back then, and I heard that taking the second sister back was just to marry the second sister.
It is said that the second sister has ordered a good family, but the prince has died several wives, and before she came back, many people in the boudoir were muttering in a whisper, to see if the object of the prince's engagement this time can survive to the sedan chair......
"Mother, is the situation in the house really so bad?" Meng Yan didn't know why her mother wanted to mention these old things, in the past, her mother didn't mention them, and even the maid and woman in the house occasionally chewed the root of her tongue and would be severely punished by her mother, why did her mother take the initiative to mention it this time, and she also mentioned her father's fault, shouldn't children talk about their parents' faults? Mother has always let her read and reason, what's wrong today? Except for the bad situation in the house, there seems to be no other reason.
"It's nothing, Yan'er, you don't have to worry, mother is just ......" Mrs. Meng looked at her daughter's beautiful face and sighed, "Mother just wants to sue you, the house is not as good as in the past, you have to think more about things in the future, think about things deeply, and treat your second sister ...... Be polite in the future, although you are a concubine and your second sister is just a concubine, but the sisters must not be compared, otherwise it is only themselves who suffer, and each person has his own creation, and he cannot look at it for a while. β
Meng Yan was a little surprised, her mother was hinting, shouldn't she be jealous of the second sister? How could she? Although during the time she went home, there was an ignorant little maid muttering, saying that the second sister ate better than her in the house, and how the servant woman was respectful to the people in the second sister's yard, but it was all the little maid who was not sensible, and she didn't know that the second sister was not in a good situation, even if she could marry her, in order to determine the prince's romance, the second sister was from a humble background, even if she was a princess in the palace, she was afraid that it would be difficult.
"Mother, how could I be such a shallow-eyed person?" Meng Yan was a little annoyed after thinking through the current hint.
"Of course, I knew that my daughter was not such a bitter person, but I just said it casually. Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly, her daughter herself understands, it is indeed not the kind of person who only cares about petty profits and is jealous for no reason, but this is the wealth in front of her, coupled with the handsome and unparalleled appearance of the prince Ding, there are few women in the world who will not be moved, in contrast, Meng Ye's career is blocked, the people are warm and cold, and the daughter's family affairs may have some twists and turns, and the contrast between these things will become more and more obvious in the future.
If Xiaofu doesn't have a good life in the future, it's just that, if you want to live well, and your daughter's marriage is a little worse, this comparison is really easy to make people lose their normality, of course, Xiaofu is not good, and the situation of the Meng family in the future will be more difficult, and it will inevitably be angry at that time.
These days, she sees what the prince is doing, and she can't help but be shocked, with a woman's intuition, this is not like hypocrisy, maybe only Meng Ye, a martial artist, would think that others would spend so much effort to deal with him.
What's going on between Xiaofu and Dingwangye, she doesn't know and doesn't want to know, anything bizarre can happen in this powerful house in Yancheng, maybe Meng also suspected that there were people in the mansion who united with outsiders to calculate him, but he suspected the wrong object, and it was not her who was his wife who united with outsiders, but his daughter who had been abandoned by him for many years.
Fortunately, I kept an eye at the beginning, and in line with the attitude of valuing harmony, I felt that if I could create one less sin, I would have one less, so I didn't offend this concubine, otherwise I would have a headache today.
The mother and daughter were talking, and Mama Qing came, and she stopped talking, and then said that the shopkeeper of the silk village outside had sent the clothes, and asked Mrs. to come over and choose it.
Mrs. Meng immediately understood, comforted her daughter a few more words, and left.
She knows that there is a silk village to send clothes to come today, but in the past, this kind of thing was to let these people wait outside, send the clothes in, she has time to see, don't be in a hurry, and even can't wait to leave the clothes first, and the people from the silk village will come to pick up the clothes on the second day.
Out of the small courtyard, Mrs. Meng branched the maid away, only with Mama Qing and the two slowly walked along the small stone road, at this time Mama Qing lowered her voice and said: "Madam, Madam Ping in the courtyard of the second miss came to report that she still couldn't find the orange maid, seeing that the second lady's spirit is slowly recovering, she is afraid that the second miss will not know how to answer, although the prince is gone, but there are a lot of maids and mothers-in-law to serve, if those people hear anything, it is not good, what do you think?"
It's not that Mrs. Meng hasn't thought about this in the past few days, she thought it was an accident earlier, but now it seems to be even more strange, so she said: "The second lady has not used it once since she recovered her consciousness
Mama Qing nodded, "Yes, maybe I'm sick." (To be continued)
