The matter of Mengfu is still slowly spreading in Yancheng, but Yancheng is no better than others, and there are more descendants of wealthy families, and some of them are kicked out by the family, and they are really desperate, so they bite their relatives more.

Meng Shen's son has been expelled for almost 20 years, most people don't know that Meng Ye still has such a son, this matter has been turned out, everyone doesn't take it seriously, there are people who have grandchildren, and they have to sue their father, it's not right in itself, what does your father have to do with you? Don't say that you are a big family and Ding Xingwang, even if your father breaks your legs, you should accept it, and it's not right for your son to sue your father.

So in Yancheng, most people are still biased towards Mengye, even if a few people suspect that there is an inside story, people are not fools, there is really something, you don't tell it sooner, don't tell it later, wait for more than ten years, the matter is light, and then come out to sue, it is clear that you can't live outside, you want to knock your father, people don't want to, so you make something out of nothing, such an unfilial son really deserves to die.

Meng Shen is just an ordinary person, no official and no lord, no matter how disgusted everyone is, he only thinks he is a street scoundrel, and he doesn't bother to scold, and after talking about it for two days, the trend of public opinion turned to the direction of a certain prince's daughter poisoning her husband.

It was Zhou Juren's hometown of Longlou County, and the news shocked the Zhou family.

They are scholars, they attach more importance to filial piety, and it is more difficult to tolerate the behavior of the son suing the father, and they have sounded one after another, and the familiar ones directly pulled over Zhou Juren to ask, and the unfamiliar ones knocked on the side to ask the Zhou family and relatives.

≈ had a good impression of Meng Yan before, and they all changed their concepts, thinking that there were no rules in this general's house, and there would never be such a thing in the scholarly family. Which unfilial child dares to show a little bit of this spearhead, the clan immediately holds a clan meeting, and the family law disposes of it, most of the sons are beaten to death with sticks, and the daughters sink into the pond.

In the face of disturbances, Zhou Juren was a little upset.

He couldn't study at all, and he had to pretend that nothing was wrong to Meng Yan, because Meng Yan didn't seem to know about it, and no one dared to mention it in front of her.

It's just that the Yang family is even more unhappy to marry the Quan family, crying and begging. Please ask Master Zhou to help no matter what.

But Master Zhou was also embarrassed. The Quan family is still living in another courtyard, and he has tried it, but the Quan family will not agree to quit their relatives at all, saying that they proposed it first. The girl's reputation is in jeopardy. Be sure to marry the right family. Now that I see the decline of the Quan family, I want to regret it, so does it make sense?

Let's talk about before getting married. The right family did not suffer from this catastrophe, not to say that this bad luck was brought about by marrying the Zhou family, just saying that his grandson was talented in physiognomy, and there were many people in Yancheng who wanted to get married, and they could choose more suitable ladies, but the right family and the Meng family were in-laws, and the Meng family and the Zhou family were in-laws, everyone was relatives, and they couldn't watch the reputation of the Zhou family girl be ruined, so they reluctantly responded to the family affairs, and now the Zhou family is going to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Well, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the right family is not reluctant, since this is the case, let's talk about the reason for the rash marriage, and then explain the reason for the withdrawal of the family clearly, the right family cannot bear the crime in vain.

Master Zhou's scholar has always attached importance to etiquette, and the only place in his life that he has crossed the rails is to make a private agreement with Zhou Juren's mother, He, for life, which is also under extraordinary circumstances, even so, the rules can be kept.

Now I want him to admit that his daughter has physical contact with people, and her reputation is at a loss, so she marries someone else, how to make it? This is not just his reputation, the entire Zhou family will be affected, for a long time, the Zhou family girl, whether unmarried or married, is afraid that she will be pointed at.

The third old lady of Quan is a businessman, she is a good bargainer, and she also knows the weaknesses of others, he has seen a lot of rogue profiteers, and he has dealt with a lot, let alone a literati like Master Zhou.

Master Zhou can't do it.

The Yang family couldn't force it, so he was angry and couldn't calm down, so he found Meng Yan.

In the past few days, I have seen Meng Yan look like a nobody, doing needlework at home all day long, cooking for his father-in-law, looking very happy, compared to his daughter who is depressed all day long, Yang's grievances and anger that have been suppressed for many years have been rising, and I just feel why the misfortune in the world is concentrated on her alone.

If it's already like this, why put up with it? What's the point of putting up with it any longer?

So Yang went into Mengyan's house with a look of anger.

When Meng Yan saw the Yang family coming in, she quickly put down the needlework in her hand and saluted, "Mother-in-law." ”

A mother-in-law made Yang's sanity return a little, and the whole person calmed down a little, thinking of her identity, she really turned her face, she couldn't ask for any benefit at all, she didn't care, she was afraid of affecting her daughter.

In this way, Yang gathered his mind a little and eased his face.

Meng Yan was obviously angry when she saw Yang come in, she was not ignorant of those rumors these days, but sometimes silence was the best way to deal with it, after all, so far, no one dared to ask her about this matter in person, so she should not know, and some things could not be explained clearly.

What made her wonder was that Yang's anger seemed to be only fleeting, and it quickly subsided, and she made a loving face again, which made her even more wary.

"Yan'er, are you doing needlework?" After Yang took his seat, he looked at the needlework in Meng Yan's hand and asked.

"Yes, make a thinner middle coat for Xianggong, the weather has been a little hot in the past two days." Meng Yan lowered her head and said a little shyly.

"Oh, the sleeves of that midcoat should be made slightly shorter, and when they write, the sleeves of the outer clothes can be rolled up, and the sleeves of the inner clothes are shorter." Yang pointed out.

"Oh! I didn't expect it, but I just saw that the sleeves of Xianggong's middle clothes seemed to be a little short, and I thought that Xianggong was taller and the clothes didn't fit. Meng Yan said with some surprise, and then said gratefully, "Thank you mother-in-law for reminding her." ”

"It's okay, the new daughters-in-law all come over like this, a woman's life is to live for a man, no matter how small a man's affairs are, you have to pay attention to them, but unfortunately for women, no matter how big things are, men can't pay attention to them." Yang is a pun, if he is pointed.

Meng Yan only lowered her eyebrows and said obediently: "A woman should regard her husband as the sky, and it is a woman's duty to teach her husband and children." ”

"yes." Yang saw that Meng Yan didn't answer, and the topic changed slightly. Concern, "There are many people in the clan this week, and there are many people who are right and wrong, and there are some things that women are idle and have nothing to say, there is no malice, and others are just going back, the new daughter-in-law doesn't understand everyone's character, don't care about some gossip." ”

"Everyone treats me very well." Meng Yan still didn't answer.

The anger in Yang's heart rose a little again, and he was still pretending, thinking about it, he simply said: "It's okay for others to pay back." is Kuishan's daughter-in-law. There is no door in her mouth, and she asked me yesterday...... If she wants to say something she doesn't like, don't take it to heart. ”

"I won't, sister-in-law is very good. Yesterday he also taught me to play a new way. Meng Yan said. He casually took out a rope from the sewing basket and showed it to Yang.

"That's good." Yang stirred up the topic several times. Meng Yan didn't take the bait, and I don't know if I really don't know, or if I'm pretending to be stupid. Think about it and simply say directly, "But then again, it's better to clarify some misunderstandings earlier, so as not to pass it around from everyone, it's not good, don't you say?" ”

At this time, Meng Yan showed a worried look on her face, and hurriedly asked: "Mother-in-law, is there something wrong with the daughter-in-law, please say it directly, and the daughter-in-law will definitely change." “

"It's nothing...... It's just a little rumor. Yang hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "I just don't know who passed it on first, saying that it was your eldest brother...... Some are unfilial. ”

"Oh!" Meng Yan lowered his head, a little ashamed, and whispered, "Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, in fact, my eldest brother went to live in other places when I was not born, he is more than ten years older than me, naturally there are some reasons, what is it, my father didn't say, and I don't dare to ask more as children, but this unfilial reputation is a little strict, my father is in the prime of life, and my eldest brother is out to make a living, and it is not easy, it may be that there is less contact with the family, so this kind of reputation has been spread, our family used to be a military general, My father felt that men should be ambitious in all directions, not only my eldest brother, but also my two younger brothers, who were also sent to the barracks early to experience training, and after a few years of getting married, we would see the situation, and maybe it would be not certain to separate the family. ”

"So that's the case, it may be that everyone misunderstood, since that's the case, you can explain it to everyone." Yang looked kind.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows, thank you mother-in-law for reminding me." Meng Yan said sincerely.

Yang nodded, pointed out some needlework and thread, and then left.

Meng Yan's face sank slightly after she left.

It's not that she didn't hear the gossip, but she just felt strange, if there was really such a strict thing, why didn't her mother send someone to say it? If the mother doesn't say it, does it mean that things are not very strict? But this kind of thing is generally very secretive, judging from these rumors, the eldest brother did not really submit a complaint to his father, this is not far from Yancheng, and it is not close to it, why are there so many rumors? Was it spread by the third old lady Quan?

Meng Yan intuitively felt that the third old lady might not have the courage to go against the Meng family, besides, this matter is not good for him, businessmen are all interested in interests, and most of them will not do things that harm others and themselves.

So who exactly?

Meng Yan couldn't figure it out, at this time, Ping's mother, as an experienced grandmother, persuaded in a timely manner: "Young lady, as a new daughter-in-law, since you don't know the inside story, you should not know, in this case, it is best to do nothing, the old slave looks, Mrs. Yang has been a little anxious recently, probably because Miss Cai'er's relatives are in a hurry, so it is best for you to do nothing." ”

"But isn't it good if nothing really happens? The people of the clan will say it. Meng Yan was a little worried.

Ping's mother pondered for a while, and put forward a proposal: "Young lady, the old slave has an idea, you mention it to the son, should I go to see Mrs. He, after all, we have been staying in Longlou County for a while, Mrs. He is in the next county, it is not in accordance with the rules to go to the meeting for a long time, it is reasonable to go to the next county to live for a few days, avoid Mrs. Yang, the old slave sees that she has something wrong recently." ”

Meng Yan felt that it made sense, and she had to find a chance to talk to Xianggong.

She doesn't know what kind of person Mrs. He is, but at least she is the biological mother of her father-in-law, so she will not deliberately embarrass her as a new daughter-in-law, but Mrs. Yang is different, she can do anything for her daughter.

……

Dingwang's mansion.

Green Vine told Su Yiqing about some of Yuemian's movements.

When she said it, she didn't avoid Mama Qing, Mama Qing likes to express her high opinions, and she was a little dissatisfied: "Yuemian, this dead girl, I don't know what to do, and I want the old slave to say that the princess should let people reprimand her." ”

"It's not wrong for people to plan for themselves, Yuemian is just an ordinary person, if she doesn't have such a temperament, she is still a big girl who manages the attic." Su Yiqing looked at the buds that had just grown on the trees outside, and said leisurely.

Qing Mama said again: "This is that girl has no vision, how many people asked her to pick at the beginning, she picked and picked, but she picked the most unproductive, even reading is not good, if you are not sure of your own learning, you know that it will be difficult to pass the exam in the coming year, why let the lady show up and go out to do things?" Later, a few people were released, all of whom picked the young guards in the middle of the house, and this time there were also those who went out on patrol with the prince, and after they came back, they could at least be a captain or something, and the maids who were assigned to them would be blessed, no matter how bad they were, they could also protect their own mothers, so that they would not even be frightened by a ruffian. ”

"Everyone has his own fate, and the days are long, so it's too early to say this." Su Yiqing said lightly, not wanting to talk about Yuemian anymore, and turned her words, "Xue Niang is a clumsy. ”

When it came to other affairs, Mama Qing had a sense of crisis and said, "It's just a little timid, just looking ahead and looking backwards." ”

Su Yiqing didn't speak, she already knew that the person who could be in charge of the two places of Linglong Garden and Liuliyuan must be a skillful person, and the more harmless this Xue Niang was to people and animals, the more shrewd she was.

It's a pity that people who are too shrewd are too good at calculating gains and losses, calculating and calculating, and they have made a lot of mistakes, but they have also missed a lot of opportunities.

She saw her own shadow in the Snow Maiden.

If it weren't for the accident, maybe she would be like Snow Niang, lonely for a lifetime.

Women are too smart, after all, it is not a good thing, if it is stupid, easy to be fooled, it may be better, the ancients said that suffering is a blessing, if Xue Niang is stupid, maybe she will marry a man casually, even if the days are hard, at least there are children and daughters, a lively family, men are not angry, and children are not necessarily angry, husband and wife love can not get, maybe there can be filial piety children to compensate.

Most women in the world are like this, and very few people have worked all their lives and have nothing.

Like Xue Niang, there may be a lot less suffering, but relatively, there is no fun, and the old age may be desolate, when you are young, you are more comfortable than others, and when you are old, you will have to work harder than others.

Su Yiqing didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little unbearable.

After thinking about it for a long time, the next day I finally asked Xue Niang to come. (To be continued......)

ps: New week, all kinds of requests.
