Chapter 398: Asking for Others
Meng Yan felt that she was wrong, the second sister was actually not worthy of envy, how many plots did she have to resist in her position, the maid who was tall in the center of the house, and the beauty who wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix outside, came wave after wave, without stopping for half a moment, and if it was her, I was afraid that she would be even more annoyed.
In the past, it was okay, they were all villains who tended to be inflammatory, but now they are palace maids given by the palace, and they are not so easy to get rid of, how can this be good? Thinking about it like this, Meng Yan's gaze at Su Yiqing turned into sympathy.
The second sister still has a big belly, and there are two palace maids like this, and they can't be driven away, which is even more disgusting than Ning Ya'er and others.
Su Yiqing once again guessed what Meng Yan was thinking, mainly because Meng Yan was too straightforward about what she thought about this person, and she liked to ponder people's hearts when she was idle, so she smiled and said: "Sister Yan, you don't worry when you should be worried, and you worry when you shouldn't." ”
"Second sister, why aren't you worried, after all, it's from the palace. Meng Yan thought that she couldn't hide anything in front of her second sister, so it was better to ask directly, which seemed a little more straightforward.
Su Yiqing smiled even more: "Sister Yan, don't blame you for thinking so, speaking of women's enemies is always women, in fact, this kind of thing, the root is in men, if a man is strong-willed, no matter what kind of beauty he is, he can't tempt him lightly, but if a man has that idea in his heart, the more you stop it, the more he thinks, the so-called ghost trick is just a man's excuse...... I have a special status with your second brother-in-law, if he really wants to have that heart, who can stop him? There is no difference between those who come from the palace and those who come from outside, not to mention that they are only said to be palace maids who come to serve. It's not a side concubine, what's there to worry about?"
The palace will not send ordinary palace maids for no reason, there must be a purpose, Meng Yan just feels that things are not so simple, she doesn't know why the second sister can be so easy or the second sister is pretending?
Su Yiqing smiled faintly again, "Don't think about it, I'm not worried because, one is confident in your brother-in-law, and the other is useless to worry, could it be that now a sad face and a tantrum can change the status quo?"
"That being said. But I watched these bad things happen. Who can really have no mustard at all?" As soon as Meng Yan spoke, for fear that Su Yiqing would misunderstand, he hurriedly said, "I want to ask the second sister if there is any way to calm her mind?"
"No, I can only think of this by myself. Look at the flowers and trees. Do something that makes you happy. Su Yiqing took a look at the bright and bright flowers around her. said softly, "Sometimes I can't do it, I just think that Sister Yan, it's just a little thing that bothers you." Actually, you are very happy, look around you, not to mention compared to me and your mother, even those girls of your age who are already married, see how they are doing now? Maybe you will want to open up, because these things you encounter are not a matter at all in the eyes of other families. ”
The misfortune of others can always bring out their own happiness to the greatest extent.
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, it was not that she didn't know the recent situation of her former classmates, relatives and friends, but because she had seen too much and was afraid, she chose to marry low and marry a gentle and kind-hearted scholar.
Recently, the Dong family's cousin married is also declining, and the husband has also accepted several concubines, two of them are still the Dong family's cousin to help Zhang Luo, one of them is pregnant, the cousin has a virtuous and generous reputation, but she doesn't want such a reputation, her mother said that the Dong family's cousin has a bad heart, let her have less contact, when she got married, the cousin came, but the mother let people stop her, and didn't let the cousin meet and talk to her alone, from a distance, the cousin's complexion is fine, but she has lost a lot of weight.
Farther away, the county lord of Xiuwen, the person she looked up to before, the leader among the nobles, a word can make her isolated, but she ended up marrying a fool, which is the most tragic, although she didn't meet again, but if you think about it, you know how miserable her life is.
There are other people who also have in-laws, concubines, concubines, etc., and so on, in comparison, she is relatively happy.
Think about it again, the affairs of the Zhou family have not been seen for many years, it can be seen that the Zhou family is not mean people, and no one should come to embarrass her a new daughter-in-law, she is from a high family, what is there to worry about?
After some persuasion, Meng Yan was in a cheerful mood.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Second sister, I want to ask you one last question." ”
Su Yiqing gestured to her with her eyes.
Meng Yan said: "I don't think my sister-in-law is very good with the Quan family, and I heard that my mother-in-law is not very satisfied, and you also know the third old lady of Quan...... That family is quite difficult, so I thought, do you want to help my sister-in-law?"
Su Yiqing was silent for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, unless the relationship is serious, I don't like to meddle in other people's marriages...... A woman's marriage is the second reincarnation, just take Sister Yan yourself, if I picked this family business for you, although you were satisfied with everything before marriage, now I am afraid that I will feel something in my heart, right?"
"How come?" Meng Yan's eyes widened, "I don't think it's bad now. ”
Su Yiqing said lightly: "Yes, there is nothing wrong, so far the Zhou family is good in any aspect, I believe that my mother and others can only say yes, but you are a little unhappy in your heart, this is the difference between what you pick and others who help, if you don't complain, you will be willing, if someone else picks it, you will inevitably think that you will not listen to the persuasion of anyone, will it be better to marry someone else? With such an idea, this originally good day will become sad, and it will be impossible to live a small disaster again." ”
"Second sister......" Meng Yan's face showed a look of grievance again, she was not such a person at all.
"I'm talking about myself, and I'm living for myself. Su Yiqing smiled.
One sentence made Meng Yan's grievances nowhere to say, I thought that the second sister would not care about this matter anymore, so she said: "Sister, it is my sister who is abrupt." ”
Su Yiqing said: "I don't know what you should do, and I don't know what the consequences will be, but if it's me, I don't care about such idle things." ”
"Ahh
"Your sister-in-law is to blame, the girl who came out of the scholarly family should know the etiquette, how can she run around alone. Let a man have a chance to ruin her reputation?" Su Yiqing's face showed disdain, "If you do this kind of thing, you should bear the consequences yourself, and since it is your own choice, you shouldn't retreat from the battle and let others bear the consequences, so that she can get her wish, and her wish will come true, this world will inevitably be unfair, how many girls abide by etiquette, keep to themselves and can't grow old safely." How can you live well with bad conduct?"
"Second sister...... It could have been an accident. Meng Yan heard Su Yiqing say so ugly. Inevitably, she also said a few words for her sister-in-law, and after a few faces, she felt that the sister-in-law was not very bad.
Accidentally...... Can an accident change someone else's life?" Su Yiqing had a faint anger on her face, "It's just a hand." And there was no shortage of meat. Even if you don't get married. At most, others will talk about those two sentences at the meeting, what's the big deal? I want to get married, well, since this is so important. So why care about the decline of the other party's family background? Even if it is a beggar, he has to marry? Complaining about the heavens and disturbing the whole family, it feels like who owes her?"
Meng Yan looked at Su Yiqing's hand holding the teacup in surprise, which seemed to be a little tight, and her fingers faintly had green tendons, and she didn't dare to say a word.
"Princess, this is the medicine boiled in the kitchen, you will drink the medicine when the time comes. Green vine didn't know when he walked in, and respectfully placed a bowl of medicine on the small stone table.
Su Yiqing was stunned, her expression slowly calmed down, she picked up the medicine bowl, and drank the medicine in small sips.
After she finished drinking the medicine, Meng Yan, who was a little frightened, thought about leaving.
Su Yiqing finally said: "Sister Yan, I was a little excited just now, but I was a little emotional, some people are obviously doing well, but they still want to snatch things that don't belong to them, and as a result, several people are in pain...... Why can't you take a step back? Even if you take advantage of it, you have to think about it for others, some things obviously take a step back and open the sky, but because no one is willing to retreat, you can't get happiness when you screw them together. ”
……
When Meng Yan returned home, Zhou Juren had already come back first, and when they met, they asked her: "Have you seen Princess Ding?" ”
"Good. Meng Yan smiled reluctantly, thinking that his demeanor was not natural, and said, "It's just that it looks a little thin, maybe your appetite is not good." ”
"Then beware. Zhou Juren asked, "Have you seen Lord Ding?"
Meng Yan shook his head, "No, Lord Ding's affairs are so busy, where can I see it." ”
"Yes!" Zhou Juren showed a little disappointment on his face.
"Although he is a brother-in-law, he has a huge disparity in status, that is, his mother, he often goes to the palace, and he can't see the prince nine times out of ten. Meng Yan kept a little heart, and told the truth half-truthfully.
Zhou Juren looked stunned and seemed to be a little entangled.
"Xianggong, what's the matter?" Meng Yan asked.
"It's okay, I'm just asking. Zhou Juren was vague.
Meng Yan didn't ask anymore, the kitchen was ready, they ate together, the banquet was relatively silent, and Zhou Juren was a little worried.
It seems that there is really something wrong, Meng Yan didn't know whether to ask or not, and secretly asked Ping's mother for her opinion in private.
Ping's mother asked her not to ask directly, take two strings of copper coins, and let a clever little dog go to talk to Zhou Juren's scholar Ping'an.
This week, he is very kind, and the children who teach him are naturally the same.
Ping'an didn't have any scheming, three or two sentences were set out by the dog, saying that today's son went to see a fellow villager, a few of them seemed to ask Gongzi for something, they discussed it behind closed doors, only knew that a few people were very excited, but couldn't hear what was said, but when the son was sent out of the door, there was a force when he said that it was a matter of human life, and only Gongzi could help or something.
After that, the son has been depressed, and when he comes back, he has a lot of worries, he doesn't drink tea or read, and he keeps asking the young lady when he will come back.
Ping's mother whispered the words to Meng Yan again.
Meng Yan suddenly knew in his heart, this is to ask someone to do something, whether it is his father in front of the general or the second sister married to his brother-in-law, there will always be many people who come to the door to ask for this and that, many of them are difficult things, and there are also things that can be done with a show of hands, but if it is a gesture, it means that most of the things are insignificant, it is okay to help, it is okay not to help, but it depends on whether that person has that kind of friendship with his own family.
Now this matter is said to be a matter of human life, but after all, it is only a few classmates of Xianggong, who has little to do with his own family, and it is not something that Xianggong can help, so it is difficult to say if he asks to go to the second brother-in-law.
Mother said that the second brother-in-law seems to be very kind, but he is actually not easy to speak. At the beginning, the members of the Quan family, including his own maternal grandfather, had a lot of trouble in business, and the second brother-in-law didn't help much.
Besides, good steel has to be used on the blade, and sesame trivial things have to trouble people, if something really happens, and the favor is used up, people will not necessarily help.
After making up her mind, Meng Yan quietly instructed Ping's mother a few more words.
Ping's mother immediately took the order, secretly went out, and only came back when she was in charge of the lamp, and said a few words to Meng Yan.
Meng Yan nodded, in the evening, Zhou Juren came back from reading in the study, she asked the maid to help Zhou Juren soak his feet in hot water, while making the bed, and said, "Xianggong, I have something to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhou Juren was still a little worried, and he responded absent-mindedly.
Meng Yan said with a smile: "Mother sent someone to ask, saying that it was a colleague of my father, who wanted to report to other places, but it happened that I passed through our hometown, and my mother asked if she was going with them, she was worried that there was no elder around the two of us, and it was not safe on the road." ”
"You have an idea. "Zhou Juren is not interested.
Then I told my mother and went with them. Meng Yan said softly, and said: "If that's the case, you have to leave tomorrow at noon, most of the things at home have been put away, Xianggong, take a look, what do you need to bring?"
"Tomorrow at noon?" Zhou Juren frowned, "Didn't you just leave early the morning after tomorrow?"
"This is to follow someone else's walk, so naturally you have to follow the time chosen by someone else. Meng Yan said more and more gently: "Look, it's safer to go with the officials and their relatives, and it saves the money of hiring a dart team, so it's okay to go a day in advance, right? Xianggong, didn't you say goodbye to your classmates today? The rest is to pack up at home, and we just go back to live for a few months, and we don't need to bring too many things, there is nothing to miss." ”
"But ......" Zhou Juren faced his wife's gentle and expectant face, and the words suddenly couldn't be spoken, and walking with the official family is naturally stronger than following a group of dart teams, he entered Beijing to catch the exam, and only brought a scholar and two small servants who also came with the caravan, but at that time he was a big man, and he could make do with anything, but now he is dragging his family, just a wife and a few little maids are inconvenient to squeeze together with a group of big men, follow the official family, the other party also has female dependents, and he can take care of more along the way, how can he say no?
