Mrs. Meng was full of disappointment, the so-called eight-character discord is a common rhetoric that the two families can't talk about halfway, just to find an excuse that both parties can go down the stairs, this family Li family dragged on, and finally did not agree, maybe the reason is not in the Li family, this is an exchange of interests, the Li family wants an excellent daughter to achieve the goal, but for some reason, suddenly repented, risking offending the Meng family.

What is the specific reason? Mrs. Meng couldn't help but think of what had happened recently in Dingwang's Mansion, it wouldn't be so coincidental, the Li family received the rumor, thinking that Fu'er would be a favorite, or Dingwang changed his mind and didn't plan to help the Li family, so the Li family regretted it?

Madame Meng's heart was in turmoil for a moment, and the smile on her face became perfunctory.

Madame Wang was just an intermediary who passed the word, and there was no need to stay to see Madame Meng's face when the words had been conveyed, and she said a few more words and then took her leave.

It was really a fire at the city gate that affected the pond fish, Mrs. Meng attributed this qiē to Ning Ya'er, pondered carefully for a while, summoned Ping's mother, and secretly ordered a few words, and Ping's mother took the order.

As the saying goes, there is no double blessing, and there is no single line of evil.

Here Mrs. Meng is worried about the fact that a fox spirit has entered the Dingwang Mansion to threaten her daughter's status, and something happened to the Dong family, and Mrs. Dong came to Mrs. Meng crying.

Mrs. Meng was in an irritable mood and didn't want to see Mrs. Dong crying and mourning, but she couldn't force her sister out, so she could only listen to her grievances patiently.

Mrs. Dong couldn't care about her demeanor, and her makeup was crying: "...... I thought that his nephew was a scholar, but I thought my child was still young. There is still a long time before he grows up, and our master wants to cultivate more nephews and be an arm, who would have thought that this child used to look good, and if he was not careful, he would be contaminated with these many vices...... Some time ago, I was pregnant and didn't have the spirit to care, and now that such a thing happens, our lord complains about me. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Madame Meng listened to this for a long time, but did not hear the point. Somewhat impatient.

Mrs. Dong seemed to be unable to speak, and said, "What else can there be, isn't it just those things about the children of Yancheng." ”

"Yancheng has a lot of bad habits, and there are only four things at most, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, does your brother account for one of them or all four?" Madame Monte's question was very direct.

"Sister......" Mrs. Dong glanced at Mrs. Meng. It seems to be complaining that Madame Meng is too direct and ugly.

Mrs. Meng was holding her breath in her heart, and immediately sneered: "Do you think I speak ugly?" Are you afraid of what others will say? If you want me to say sister, what does this have to do with you? You weren't born and you didn't raise it? You ignored it when you asked you to help find him a daughter-in-law, and after seeing a few dissatisfied, you didn't care, and now you are in a hurry when something happens, and your nephew is not a son. The Dong family is also a big family, and there are many outstanding children in the clan. This one doesn't make it and then another one, as for it? ”

"Sister, after all, this is the master's own nephew, who calls me an aunt, our master is his son, how can I be indifferent?" Mrs. Dong shed two more tears and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "This kid is usually quite obedient, but I don't know what's going on lately. Don't be tricked by anyone, right? ”

"What the hell is going on, you first explain the cause and effect clearly and let me judge, right? If you don't make it clear, you'll cry here for a while, and I'll go in and rest for a while, and I'll listen to you when you're done crying. Madame Monte expressed her impatience directly.

"I said I'll ......" Mrs. Dong must have thought that there would be no good atmosphere if it continued to brew, so she simply said it this time.

As Mrs. Meng expected, she couldn't hide from eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, this scholar was naturally very elegant, looking for flowers and asking willows the most, this nephew of the Dong family met a good girl who came out of the mud and was not stained in Willow Lane, Flower Street, and spent a lot of silver taels on her, and the money was spent, so she didn't dare to ask her family, so she could only borrow it, borrow the money, how could it be so easy to borrow, not to mention that a scholar who borrowed and lived in someone else's house still raised such a fox spirit, where is the money to pay back, this period of time, even the principal with interest, The profits are frighteningly high.

Most of the money in the seal has a background, and Master Dong was afraid that the matter would affect the official reputation, so he asked Mrs. Dong to fill in the money, which was 20,000 taels, and Mrs. Dong wanted to come to Mrs. Meng for help.

Mrs. Meng understood what Mrs. Dong meant, probably wanting her to help find someone to exempt this account, at least to exempt the profits, and just pay back the capital, she didn't want to care about this matter, not to mention that the Meng family is not as good as before, even if Meng Ye was still a general before, she didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

The nephew of the Dong family is not the nephew of the Meng family, and the number of people who have turned a few corners is not very large, and it is not very difficult to find someone to suppress the money that put the seal, but the trustee owes favors, and he needs to treat and give gifts, and the favors owed must be repaid, and it may be more than 20,000 taels when the time comes.

Meng also had a rule when he was an official, that is, if you can spend money to settle things, don't spend favors, now 20,000 taels of silver can be solved, why bother to bow your head and beg for people, the Dong family is not without this silver.

After making up her mind, Mrs. Meng sighed: "Sister, since your lord values family affection, you should break the fortune and avoid disasters, and give the money." ”

"Sister, but our family really can't take out so much silver at once." Mrs. Dong began to cry poorly, "Don't you know, last time the big girl got married, how many dowries did the master get her, and our family is newly moved, and there is still ...... furniture when we move here."

"Okay, okay, if you don't have money, you will ask your master for it, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, you are a woman in the house, there is no silver on the account, how can it become out?" Mrs. Meng said, glancing at Mrs. Dong, "You put the accounts in front of your master, tell him this, and see what he does?" It's not like selling a house or land and sleeping on the street with a family. ”

Mrs. Dong's eyes flickered, and she stood up again.

Mrs. Meng knew that there was something strange in this, so she didn't care about her, and only said: "It's not that I'm talking about my sister, you can't blindly listen to men as a woman, your sister and I are an example, listen to your brother-in-law in everything, what is the result?" Don't talk about these troubles in our family, you also know, you used to have no son and no confidence, but now that your sons have been born, our mother's family is also a little face-saving, although your brother-in-law has been demoted, he is still in the city, the Dong family dares to wronged you too much, your mother's family can speak, what are you afraid of? Don't take care of everything by yourself, you are used to having a problem with him, and in the end it is you who is wronged, be tough. ”

"But my sister ......" Mrs. Dong is still struggling.

Mrs. Meng interrupted again: "Sister, there is one more thing, that is, women, the most important thing is to take care of the child, the nephew is only a few months old, you leave him alone, how can those wet nurses compare to taking care of themselves?" So a small child is really going to go on a business trip, it's too late for you to cry, don't go out lightly in the future, just let your mother-in-law notify you if you have something, it's not that I don't help you, but your brother-in-law is now soft-spoken, and he really can't speak, and his brother-in-law's official position is higher than your brother-in-law's, and he can't do anything about it, what can your brother-in-law do? ”

"Sister......" Mrs. Dong was interrupted several times, and finally couldn't hold it back, and cried with a wow.

"Sister, don't cry, what's wrong?" Mrs. Meng first persuaded her, but Mrs. Dong continued to cry, and she couldn't help but say sharply: "Don't cry." ”

At this moment, Mrs. Dong's tears were frightened back.

Mrs. Meng said with a stiff face: "Look at you, you are almost thirty years old, why are you crying like a child, that is a bit of a mother?" I don't care about my own face, I have to take care of my face, there are a bunch of maids and wives outside, are you afraid that others won't know? I don't know, I think my sister is bullying your sister. ”

"Sister, I'm sorry." Mrs. Dong choked up and said, "You must save me, now only you can save me." ”

Mrs. Meng looked at Mrs. Dong coldly and did not speak.

Mrs. Dong shrank her head and said, "I, I embezzled the family's silver...... I lost money in business, and I don't dare to sue our master, so you must help me, and let our master know, even if I don't stop, I will be locked up in the family temple. ”

"What kind of business can you afford to lose tens of thousands of taels?" Madame Monte was shocked.

Mrs. Dong said, "That's it...... It's just general business. ”

"What the hell?" Madame Meng's voice became stern again.

Mrs. Dong gritted her teeth and said, "It's Yinzi money." ”

"What?" Mrs. Meng couldn't believe it, "You actually dare to put Yinzi money?" You've only been in Yancheng for a long time, how do you know how to put money in Yinzi? ”

Mrs. Dong didn't dare to look at Mrs. Meng's face, and said, "It was a lady next door who pulled the strings, and they all paid it back on time at the beginning, and the profit was also very high, but then it was ......."

Madame Meng sneered, "Later, after borrowing a large sum, the person disappeared, right?" ”

This is a common deception, Yancheng staged this kind of deception every day, as small as dozens of dollars, as large as tens of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels, deceiving a person's lack of heart.

Mrs. Dong muttered, "How do I know which lady is fake, many ladies and wives know her, and there is such a big house, after the incident, I learned that she is not the lady of that family at all, just a second room, and which head of the family is an official outside, he was arrested a few months ago, but in the field, the news did not reach Yancheng, so that concubine swaggered and deceived in Yancheng under the name of which lady, I have seen her at several banquets, introduced me to several noble ladies, how do I know that she is just a concubine?" ”

"That's because you're stupid." Mrs. Meng really hated iron and steel. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
