Chapter 358: Chicken Ribs
"I want to ask my lord, what's wrong with you today?" Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Ye thoughtfully, "You have bought the good things you have worked so hard to buy, and if you want to give them to your daughter, you can give them away? Who is stopping you again? I have been so busy for a while that my feet do not touch the ground, why bother to ask my opinion again? I said that it is obviously against my will, and you are not happy to say that it is not good, and the palms and backs of the hands are still thin and thick, not to mention that this is not the back of the palms and hands?" There are no elders in Dingwangfu, but there are a lot of experienced grandmothers, and there are many relatives, and they may not be able to squeeze in if they want to come forward, what is going on between us and Fu'er is not clear to others, you know yourself, it's just like that if you do more, you really hope that a little thing and a few good words can mend the relationship?"
"This ......" Meng was speechless for a while.
Mrs. Meng's eyes gradually turned cold, "Master, tell you the truth, who sent this blood bird's nest? What do you have to ask for? Since you are looking for me to discuss, you have to let me know something, so I can talk, right?"
Meng Ye was a little sneered on his face, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just Guang'er's family matter, and I want to ask Fu'er what he means." ”
"Guang'er's family affairs, didn't you say it last time, you want to slow down?" Mrs. Meng remembered something, and her face suddenly changed, "Master, who did you listen to again, which one is it this time, is it the Shao family? If it is the Shao family, don't ask Fu'er, I will disagree with it first." ”
"It's not the Shao family, madam, please rest assured, I'm not so blind to my in-laws like Uncle Shao. Meng Ye hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that Mrs. Meng would misunderstand.
"Whose house is that?" Madame Meng couldn't think of any family member who had come to tempt her recently who could make Meng so enthusiastic.
"You would never think of it. Meng also sold Guan Zi again.
"Whose house is it?" said Madame Monte impatiently.
Seeing this, Meng Ye's interest decreased by half again, and said, "Guojun Wangfu." ”
Mrs. Meng suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Guojun Wangfu, how is this possible?"
Seeing Mrs. Meng so surprised, Meng also became proud again. "That's why I said you would never have thought that this family affair would be concluded at the door of the Guojun Palace. ”
"It's not bad. Mrs. Meng quickly thought about it, but she was still a little apprehensive, remembering the Li family's conditional proposal before, and a little hesitant, "Did they make any requests?" How can you help?"
"Of course not. If so, I won't tell you sooner. Meng also replied in the affirmative.
Mrs. Meng still felt incredible, and thought about it again, "Could it be because the county lord of Xiuwen was injured in their palace a while ago." It is rumored that Lewen, the daughter of the king of Guojun, may replace the county lord of Xiuwen to marry the prince of the Meng clan...... Wait, you are so diligent, and you are Tifuer, have you negotiated with the Guojun Palace. Do you want the king to help settle the matter of peace and affection?"
"I'm not so confused, I dare to keep up with the head and rob people. Wait a minute...... You said the daughter of King Guojun?" Meng Ye's expression suddenly relaxed, "You are mistaken, I am not talking about the daughter of King Guojun, but the daughter of King Guojun's cousin." Although they are cousins, the two families have a very good relationship, and they almost live together, and this Miss Lian is also the daughter of the clan. Wouldn't it be a good marriage to take the opportunity to have a relationship with the Guojun Palace?"
"I'll just say it. Where is there such a cheap thing, this daughter of the king of Guojun is so far away from being named the county lord, the princess of Guojun has been working hard all these years, how can she succumb to our family. "I heard that it's not the daughter of the king of Guojun, Mrs. Meng, who is not interested.
Meng Ye's face was a little unbearable, and he said with a straight face: "Although he is not the daughter of King Guojun, but his niece is not bad, your vision is not so high, you may not be able to serve the real county lord when she marries in, this family business was mentioned to me by King Guojun himself, does he have any brothers, and the daughters of cousins are similar to nieces." ”
Mrs. Meng was really angry and funny, and said: "It seems that I am the one who wants to climb the high gate?" If I sue you, the two cousins of the Guojun Wangfu are just face-saving, especially the princess of Guojun has always looked down on her sister-in-law Li, and is secretly on guard, for fear that her mother-in-law, Old Concubine Xue, will secretly give the things of the palace to the Li family, do you still think this is a good family matter?"
With this kind of thing, Meng Ye's eyes widened, "Where did you hear it, it's really fake?"
Mrs. Meng said lightly: "Hearsay, believe it or not, you don't want to think about it, if these two families are really so close, this cousin is not much younger than you, but so far he is just a low-end little civil official, without any real power, is he really indifferent to fame and fortune or no one is willing to help pull it out? No matter what kind of reason, he can't even help himself, what else can he help his in-laws? Are you so happy about such a family matter?" But if you want me to say, Li is a kind person, he should not be a tricky person, really from the door, it is not unworthy of our family, if you really think it is good, I will inquire about the character of their girl, it is really good and can also be ordered, but there is one thing, at least wait for your daughter to go out of confinement, and then mention it to her, so as not to annoy people in big and small things, but it is not good not to ask, and our son is not in a hurry to set it at this moment. ”
The next few sentences of Mrs. Meng are completely to appease Meng Ye, with her understanding of Meng Ye, most of this family business is not done, he must have been fooled before, and was dazzled by the door of Guojun Wangfu, thinking that a daughter can get so many benefits by marrying into Dingwangfu, and adding a daughter of Wangfu as a daughter-in-law can naturally be like a tiger, but I didn't expect this Guojun Wangfu to be so complicated.
The relationship between the inner house, most of the men outside are unknown, even if it is a woman, the not very shrewd is easy to be deceived by the harmonious appearance of the Guojun Palace.
Meng Ye was really as Mrs. Meng expected, and after knowing that this family affair was not beneficial, he stopped mentioning it, but when he saw the blood bird's nest, he said: "Anyway, this blood bird's nest is a good thing, you should send it to Fu'er." ”
Mrs. Meng sighed and said, "Master, it's not that I'm reluctant or too lazy to move around, it's just that this tonic is still saved, and the dignified Dingwang Mansion still lacks this bite to eat...... That's really indescribable, don't tell you, now every time I go to Dingwangfu, I have to take a good bath, wash off all the smell of fat powder incense or something on my body, and carefully check the clothes and jewelry for fear of accidentally carrying what sachet sachet, together with the maids and women around me can not have the slightest fragrance, not to mention rouge gouache or something, can not be wiped at all, just for fear that these maids and women have any omissions, I didn't let them follow up and get close to Fu'er, for fear that something unexplainable would happen. ”
Thinking of the past, Meng Ye was a little weak-hearted, and he probably understood Mrs. Meng's concerns, and he also sighed secretly.
Mrs. Meng persuaded again: "Master, don't blame me for being a woman with a lot of mouth, Fu'er is heavy now, and your errand has just been obtained, you should do it carefully, so as not to let people talk behind your back, or think less about what you don't have, just like this errand now, you should get it, don't you push your own daughter and son-in-law?" It shouldn't be obtained, and there will be no good results if you barely get it, and a strong one of the in-laws is enough, and there are more independent people who don't know who to listen to, but it's a trouble, of course, you don't want to be too blunt to refuse this family matter, just say that the child is small, and then take a look, drag it out, drag it for a few months, see what she says, or find an opportunity to ask King Ding, listen to his opinion, he wants to think that it is good, it is not bad. ”
Meng is not the kind of person who can't listen to persuasion, and he thinks it makes sense when he thinks about it.
……
Guojun Palace.
Old Concubine Xue held the stove in her hand, squinted and leaned on the soft couch, listening to the Li family talk about the original situation, and did not make a sound.
Li was a little apprehensive, the first time she heard Princess Guojun mention that family business, she was not very happy, but she couldn't bear Princess Guojun to mention it a few more times, and the most important thing is that King Guojun personally mentioned it to his master, and also moved a little to find a relatively better shortage for his lord, and promised that as long as the family affair is completed, he will definitely let his lord be promoted to a higher level, so that he can be full of knowledge and can be useful.
His lord has been mediocre all his life, not wanting to be promoted and making a fortune, but just hoping to learn to be useful, Guojun Wang's promise is very tempting, and the conditions of the Meng family are really good, so their husband and wife are relieved, if they don't agree, they will completely offend Guojun Wang and his wife, and if they agree, they may not be able to succeed.
It's just that she didn't know how to talk to Old Concubine Xue about it, but she couldn't help but say it, it would be meaningless to wait for the family affair to be a foregone conclusion before telling Old Concubine Xue.
The Li family was entangled again and again, but he still cautiously mentioned this matter to Old Concubine Xue with the gesture of apology.
Old Concubine Xue listened quietly until Li finished saying all the words, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "If it can be done, it will be a good marriage." ”
"Really?" Li was overjoyed, originally thought that Old Concubine Xue would object, even if she didn't object, she wouldn't be happy, but now she said something like this, that is, to support this family business, because she had been entangled for so long before, she knew that the old lady supported, she should have come to discuss it earlier.
Old Concubine Xue nodded, "The Meng family has a simple population, and Mrs. Meng is not the kind of evil mother-in-law who is so confused that she blindly makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law, that is, I haven't seen the Meng family kid, I don't know how people are, but I can stay in the barracks for so long at a young age, and I don't see any notoriety coming out, and I don't think it will be outrageous." ”
"Yes, yes. Li's chick pecked the rice and nodded, in the past, the Li family in Dengzhou also considered marrying the Meng family, although it didn't work out later, but it was not the problem of the son of the Meng family, but some official things, the same surname Li, although her maiden family and the Li family in Dengzhou are not a family, they are also a little close, and they can be inquired.
