General Shao's wife listened to Shao Li's words, nodded, and stopped talking, but the worry between her eyebrows deepened.

Seeing this, Shao Li then comforted: "I know that the eldest brother and sister-in-law recently, and even the father, have spoken a little ugly, I hope you don't take it to heart, for the sake of my face, you will treat the eldest brother as their errand, sympathize with them, and forgive them for what they did, they just said some ugly words, after all, they are all surnamed Shao, and they can certainly get a little light on my scenery, but if I have something, they will also be implicated, so you can take care of it more." ”

"Xianggong, how can I account for these, compared to others, I am already very happy. General Shao's wife gently smiled at her husband.

Shao Li could hear that this was true, but he didn't know why, he felt that his wife was worried about it during this time, but he was also busy during this time, and he personally handled the affairs of the court and the family, although there were also loyal housekeepers who persuaded him to do everything himself, especially the affairs of the family.

He didn't agree, his family is different from other families, it's too cruel for a woman to face it, and it goes without saying that she can't cope with it, even if she can deal with it, the whole person will become hideous, he doesn't want his pillow people to become hideous in the environment of struggle, and he doesn't want his children to be affected.

Rao is like this, he still feels that he has not done enough, he is really the eldest brother, the sister-in-law is too much, and the niece can't find a good family to blame him, saying that he is implicated by him, because he married a lowly singer as his wife.

It's funny. When people get married, they don't mind that the woman's father is not angry, but they have to mind the identity of the aunt in the next room, and the eldest brother is arguing with reason.

There is nothing to say about this kind of unreasonable person, fortunately, the eldest brother is a man, and it is not good to face the woman directly, after all, the sister-in-law is from a beautiful family, and she is not too sloppy, but he still comes forward for these things, so as not to make it difficult for his wife to be a man.

But maybe he didn't do it well enough. Recently, my wife is still worried.

Day 2. Shao Li set off with a little worry, and when he turned back before leaving, he saw his wife standing at the door, and the figure looked very erratic. He couldn't help but worry.

……

Mongfu

After Meng Yan and Xianggong moved back to the house they lived in before. The first time I went back to my parents' house. Because he received a letter from the Zhou family, saying that the third old lady had taken the initiative to withdraw from his family, the reason was that his grandson had a serious illness. needed to recuperate for a few years, for fear of delaying the woman, so he took the initiative to withdraw from his family, of course the Zhou family couldn't ask for it, but they just pretended to be and refused for a while, until the third old lady asked again and again, and then made it difficult to agree.

This matter is over, and Meng Yan feels a lot more relaxed.

I came to tell my mother.

Mrs. Meng once again told her not to let the people of the Zhou family know that it was their family who forced the right family to take the initiative to quit their relatives.

Before, Mrs. Meng didn't have to worry, but recently, the relationship between Meng Yan and Zhou Juren has gradually deepened, and the husband and wife are like glue, and they have nothing to talk about, she is worried that Meng Yan will not be able to help but sue Zhou Juren.

Although the matter of retiring relatives is the meaning of the Zhou family, after all, it is not the Zhou family who clearly proposed to help the Meng family, and now say it, the Zhou family may hurry up for a while, but after a long time, if there are any adverse consequences, the Zhou family will definitely be angry.

Between husband and wife, no matter how good the relationship is, there is no need to say everything, some things will only increase the troubles of the other party, when the relationship between husband and wife is good, this kind of thing naturally does not matter, if there is something behind, this is also a handle, after all, this kind of thing is not glorious.

Meng Yan remembered, and then asked hesitantly, "Mother, is the second sister in good health?"

At the mention of Meng Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng couldn't help sighing, "It's okay, but I don't know why, I look very unenergetic, I've been depressed, probably because the prince was not around when I gave birth, many women who have just given birth are like this, if you are free, go to Dingwangfu for a walk and chat with your second sister." ”

When it came to the second sister, Meng Yan suddenly felt a little weak, remembering the last time she saw the second sister, the second sister was tantamount to making it clear to her, don't care about the Zhou family, especially the Yang mother and daughter, I don't know why, the second sister showed her disgust for this mother and daughter who had never met.

She didn't know why this was happening, but she didn't want her second sister to know what she had done, and of course, she didn't want to lie.

Mrs. Meng didn't know what her daughter was thinking, but judging from her daughter's expression, her daughter didn't want to be a princess, after all, her daughter was a concubine before, and her status was higher than Xiaofu, but now her daughter is just a small lady, and the huge identity gap is not something that ordinary people can adapt to.

After the misunderstanding, Mrs. Meng persuaded her daughter: "Yan'er, there is always a time to bow your head in your life, a lifetime is so long, there are many people around you who were not as good as you before, and there are better than you later, and there are better than you, and then they are not as good as you, ups and downs, not to the end, maybe who is better than whom, even if you can glorify a lifetime, it may not be happier than ordinary people for a lifetime." ”

Meng Yan had already figured it out, she was even in a hurry to deal with a relatively simple family like the Zhou family, and if she really wanted to marry into a high family, she was afraid that she would have been swallowed up long ago, and she didn't know whether to tell her mother what the second sister said, and she intuitively felt that her mother would not want to hear it, because the second sister seemed to have something to say, and she was still a little resentful.

In the past, when I was a girl, I often heard some news of the inner house fight, people are different from the outside, some seem to be good to you, but in fact, it may not be, repaying grievances with virtue may only be the appearance, some people are good at forbearance, just want to hit with one blow, and be sure that the opponent has no room to turn over.

Mother has always said that the second sister is a smart person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, but knowing how to weigh the pros and cons does not mean that there is no hatred in her heart, but she can suppress the hatred in her heart for the sake of interests.

Before the second sister married into the palace for the first time, she was isolated and helpless, and there were many things that needed help from her mother's family, such as asking her mother and Mrs. Quan to inquire about something from time to time, and for example, the marriage between the Meng family and the Guojun Palace.

By the way, I thought of marrying with the Guojun Palace. The mother didn't tell her about this matter, but she could guess that this was definitely the meaning of the second sister, after the father was demoted, he couldn't get in touch with the people in the palace at all, even if the Guojun Wangfu intended to marry his daughter low, it was unlikely to ask for a holy decree to marry, and the royal decree was sometimes just a vanity, but it was not a cabbage given at will, and it had to be meritorious. The icing on the cake.

This is definitely the second sister's idea again.

It is said that the marriage is for the sake of marrying two surnames. But when there was an accident in the Guojun Palace, the mother and the second sister did not help, and it was clear that the Guojun Mansion was not very involved, so why did this happen?

Meng Yan felt uneasy in her heart. Since the mother and the second sister can stand by and watch the affairs of the Guojun Palace. Something happened to his family. Will the second sister help? Especially after the second sister gave birth to the little prince and gained a firm foothold in the Dingwang Mansion.

If it was before, Meng Yan was not too worried. My father is just a small official, and I can't make any big mistakes in such an official position, but since the case of my father-in-law's friend, my father's prestige in the court has been in full swing, and it is even a little more scrupulous than when he was a general, which doesn't seem to be a good thing.

As for the mother, the mother's vigilance has always been heavy, but because of the second sister's previous guidance, she tasted the sweetness, and she obeyed the second sister's words and did not take any precautions, which is also very worrying.

Meng Yan was anxious in her heart, but found that there were some things that she couldn't say even to her biological mother, not because she didn't believe her mother, but because it would not help her after saying it, but it would make her mother scared.

Meng Yan was worried, and the housekeeper suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that the master was going to hold a banquet in the mansion in the evening to entertain a few colleagues, and asked the lady to prepare quickly.

Mrs. Meng told the housekeeper that she would prepare later, and then summoned the two grandmothers and asked them to prepare.

Meng Yan looked at the two grandmothers with very angry eyes, and asked, "Mother, these two grandmothers haven't seen each other before, are they new?"

Mrs. Meng nodded: " Yes, your father recently likes to associate with some literati, you married into the scholarly family, you must also know, some scholars pay attention to the rules, almost to the point of nitpicking, even on the banquet, the pattern of the plate and the dish do not match to pay attention to, I am impatient to learn these, so I invited a few down-and-out scholarly grandmothers to do, I can also save worry, speaking of which is also learned from your second sister, your second sister married into the Dingwang Mansion, many things are let go of the grandmother to do, not do it yourself. ”

"However, these are foreign grandmothers after all, since my father asked the housekeeper to inform me, this banquet must be very important, can you rest assured?" Meng Yan was very puzzled, her mother had been teaching her before, everything should be done by herself, don't fake it to others, otherwise it is easy to be exploited, no matter how familiar people are, they must be a little more careful, but now the mother has changed her statement.

Mrs. Meng also remembered the past, and breathed a sigh of greed, "Some things are lived to learn all the time, and there are benefits of doing it yourself, and letting others do it is also wonderful, it depends on the environment, just like you, the new daughter-in-law enters the door, there is a mother-in-law staring at the top, and the sister-in-law is watching below, even if the grandmothers do well, you can't be too leisurely, people who live too well are easy to be jealous, I am different from your second sister, we don't have any mother-in-law and elders staring, as long as the house is not chaotic, who can talk nonsense?"

Meng Yan bit her lip for a long time, as if she had something to say, but she never said it.

Mrs. Meng asked: "Yan'er, if you have anything, just say it directly, you don't have to think too much in front of your mother, and it doesn't hurt to say something wrong." ”

"Mother, the daughter is not afraid of saying the wrong, but she is afraid that her mother will worry when she says it. Meng Yan finally couldn't help it, "Second sister she...... Does she really have no nostalgia for the past?"

Mrs. Meng was stunned, she had always been worried about this question, but she didn't tell her daughter, she was afraid that her daughter would be worried, but she didn't expect her daughter to ask, she wanted to flicker around like before, but when she saw her daughter's face, she couldn't help but sigh: " To tell the truth, my mother doesn't know, people can't look at the surface most of the time, but think about it, after all, the Meng family is sorry for your second sister, and it is also appropriate for people to have resentment in their hearts, we can only slowly resolve it, instead of thinking, your second sister has resentment, so we have to be more vigilant and so on, so as to prevent it from coming and going. Nothing will become something, my mother has not seen many storms, knowing that some things are worrying is useless, it is better to want to open some, think about the good side, don't think so much if you can't solve it. ”

"My daughter can't do it. Meng Yan muttered, recently she was worried about the second sister, and she was also worried about her father, thinking about the second sister before she returned to the Meng family, her father was a general, and her mother was the head of the Meng family.

Before the second sister got married, her mother was far inferior to the second sister in the back house, and after the second sister got married, almost all the things of the Meng family had to ask the second sister, and even her relatives were agreed by the second sister, and the father agreed, although it seemed to be good for the Meng family, but there was always something wrong.

Tossing and turning, except for the Meng family offending a bunch of people, there doesn't seem to be much practical benefit, it is not bad for her to marry the Zhou family, but from another point of view, the Meng family gave up an opportunity to marry a high-ranking in-law.

……

While Meng Yan was anxious, the Guojun Mansion was also full of sadness.

King Guojun and the prince only narrowly avoided the catastrophe, but they were still greatly injured, and the money naturally did not need to be said, the treasury in the house was more than half empty, and this is it, the king of Guojun was reprimanded, and the prince was already a little embarrassed, and he did not dare to go out to see people because of the shame, so he could only follow the princess who was also bitter.

After a lifetime in the court, it can be said that King Guojun, who slipped into the loach, couldn't believe it when he saw this, what was going on?

The prince made a mistake and was involved in the river corruption case, but the responsibility was very small, didn't he just accept the benefits of others and suppress the matter of a few villagers complaining? Who in the DPRK and China has not done one or two such things?

The prince did not knowingly commit a crime, but thought that this was just a trivial matter, a few Diao people did not accept the governance of the officials, and wanted to go over the level to sue, that is, a few Diao people's fruit trees were flooded, and the losses were greater, for the farmers who put a penny in their eyes, it was naturally a big deal, but after all, it was not a life lawsuit, and there was no grievance, what was there to sue?

Even if they really let them sue the emperor, who can still tell the truth about a few fruits?

Of course, this is also because the son of the world is young, he doesn't know the sinister nature of the world, he listens to the words of others, and he doesn't know much about it, and he doesn't understand that some cases are more important than one or two life lawsuits. (To be continued......)

PS: There is no state these days, a little less, cheer up next month, you don't have to worry.
