Mrs. Meng sadly found that although she felt that something was wrong, but now she couldn't do anything at all, Meng was also confused, and would not listen to her, and she was just an inner house woman, and all she could use in her hands was a few servants.

It's just that after so many years of brutal fighting, Mrs. Meng is not a person who sits still, although she thinks about it, she can't think of a safe solution, but at present, there is one thing she can do.

The next morning, Meng Yan saw her mother who had come to see her early in the morning, and although her mother said that she had nothing to do, she knew that something must be wrong with her mother.

After Mrs. Meng inquired in detail about Meng Yan's life without mentioning the key points, Meng Yan finally couldn't help but ask, "Mother, are you...... Whether it's really okay or not, my daughter is worried about you. ”

Mrs. Meng stroked her daughter's hair with her hand and sighed, "My goose has grown up, and her mind is more delicate than before, you used to be very aggressive, poor child, if you can, mother really hopes that you are still like before." ”

"Mother, everyone has to grow up, everyone comes over like this, my daughter is fine now, you don't have to worry. Meng Yan comforted her mother in turn, she was also sincere, after this time with her husband, the husband and wife were heart-to-heart, and they could think about each other.

Xianggong was a little cold about officialdom, but he insisted on staying and studying, just to avoid letting her go back to face all kinds of things in the Zhou family, and he didn't want her to be seen by her mother's family, even if she didn't want to be an official, she would take another test. A jinshi or something like that, which can be regarded as an explanation to her mother's family.

Meng Yan naturally obeyed Xianggong's arrangement.

Mrs. Meng said to her daughter, "Yan'er." The son-in-law feels sorry for you, and he doesn't want you to embarrass the Zhou family. You have to go back, but it's just to serve your mother-in-law to take care of your sister-in-law, that family came over like this, and after a few years, it's over, it's nothing. ”

Meng Yan heard this, but he was unwilling in his heart, who would let go of the two of them to live a good little life, but go home to face a big family. Mother-in-law and sister-in-law, what about a bunch of trivial things about seven aunts and eight aunts?

Seeing her daughter's reluctance, Mrs. Meng sighed secretly in her heart, she naturally knew her daughter's thoughts, but many things had to be compared, compared with the strange situation of the Meng family now, the so-called troubles of the Zhou family were just children bickering, and the Meng family had nothing to do, and if something happened, it would be a human life.

The Zhou family is a big family in the local area. But in Yancheng, it is not insignificant, if there is really anything, it will not be so far as to implicate the Zhou family.

There are some things that can't be said to her daughter, so Mrs. Meng thought about it and persuaded her daughter: "Yan'er." People should take a long-term view, and it is okay to suffer a little when they are young, and some contradictions must be resolved as soon as possible. Don't wait until you're old to break out, the son-in-law is a good person. He will know that you have been wronged today. I'll pity you a little more, you know?"

Meng Yan lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, there are some things that are inconvenient for even her biological mother to say, not only that she doesn't want to go back, but Xianggong doesn't want to go back, as a man, sometimes he would rather be stabbed than face those trivial things that are cut and messy, so he can only say vaguely: "My daughter knows, it's just that Xianggong wants to take a fame test, and he also has an explanation to the clansmen when he goes home, you know, his brothers on the other side are all officials, if he fails the test...... It's hard to explain to the family. ”

Mrs. Meng thought about it for a while, and then she understood that the son-in-law had two nominal mothers, his elder brother followed his biological mother, and the Shangjia family could still be admitted to the Jinshi and the Shishi, while the son-in-law grew up in the Zhou family's own family.

It's all a difficult thing, in the case of not being able to say it clearly, Mrs. Meng can't force her daughter and son-in-law to leave, think about it, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if there is really something, in Yancheng or return to the Zhou family, in fact, the result is not much worse, just walk around her daughter less in the future.

Meng Yan obviously didn't want to continue the heavy topic, so she asked, "Mother, how is the second sister now?"

As soon as Meng Xiaofu was mentioned, Mrs. Meng's face immediately turned ugly, and it was difficult to tell her daughter, so she only said: "It's nothing, it's just that you're in a bad mood, if you have nothing to do...... Don't bother her, now that the Dingwang Mansion avoids thanking guests, our own family can't break the rules. ”

Meng Yan looked at Mrs. Meng with some surprise, remembering that the last time she saw her mother, her mother persuaded her to go to Dingwang's Mansion and talk to the second sister, why did she change her words now? Could it be that the second sister's situation is really so bad?

For this second sister, Meng Yan still has some complicated feelings, but in general, no matter what way she looks at it, she should hope that the second sister is good. Therefore, he still cared: "Lord Ding...... Can't you even come back lately?"

When it comes to King Ding, Mrs. Meng feels even more frightened, and her intuition is that it may be better if this person doesn't come back, just a small blessing is difficult to deal with, if King Ding comes back again, these two couples join forces, and it is really easy to crush whoever they want to crush.

But as a common man of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Meng family used to be a family of military generals, but Mrs. Meng couldn't help but hope that King Ding would return to the city as soon as possible, because the longer King Ding stayed at the border, it meant that the situation was becoming more and more tense, and war would break out at any time.

The war between the two countries is no better than others, and some things are easy to fade after a long time, but the war is different, and it is not easy to prepare for a large-scale battle, in addition to soldiers, there are all kinds of materials, large-scale battles, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered, and grain and grass are first of all a big problem, which cannot be consumed for a long time.

She is a woman in the house, and she doesn't know how many soldiers and horses the court has mobilized to rush to the border pass, but according to her experience as the wife of a military general, the more the price of grain in Yancheng rises, it means that the food is slowly decreasing.

This year's harvest is good, but grain prices are rising, and there is only one reason, some people are buying and hoarding grain in large quantities, and most of them have only one use for grain in good weather.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, if the war is really going to break out, then Yancheng is a relatively safe place, and if you are out of town, there will be riotous people who pour in from the war-torn place to take the opportunity to loot.

"Mother......" Meng Yan couldn't help but whisper when she saw Mrs. Meng wandering.

Madame Meng came back to her senses and remembered her daughter's problem. sighed: "This court matter, even your father is not very clear now. When the king will return, my mother does not know. ”

"The second sister must be very worried. No wonder she's in a bad mood. Meng Yan is also a woman, and now she is also a wife, and she is a little emotional, "Speaking of which, the child is almost a full moon after birth, right? I haven't seen my biological father yet, it's really pitiful." ”

"Yes!" Mrs. Meng said perfunctorily, that is just for ordinary women, Xiao Fu is not necessarily, some people can't use common sense to infer it.

The topic is getting heavier. Meng Yan didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she changed the topic and said, "By the way, last time I heard Ping's mother say that Meng Si is about to get married, how are the family preparations?

When it comes to Monsi, Mrs. Meng can finally relax, there is no need to think too much about this topic, what to say. told her daughter the truth, "Mengsi, this child has suffered a lot at a young age, and he is also a little pitiful...... It's just that she is a concubine in the end, and she is also married to a businessman. Your eldest brother has already split up, and your father doesn't want to take care of it too much, so let your eldest brother and his family make their own decisions. When the time comes, I will marry in Beizhuang, on the side of the Meng family. It shouldn't be too public...... But if it's too cold, in the end it's wronged Mengsi. When the time comes, it will be inconvenient for me and your father to go over, you don't have to be taboo about anything, and you and your son-in-law will go over to support the scene when the time comes. ”

"Okay, I'll go over. Meng Yan and Meng Si got along for a few days, and she had a good impression of Meng Si, and she was happy to see that she now had a good home...... How?"

"Let's talk about it slowly, she doesn't have to rush. "Mrs. Meng doesn't like Meng Yurou because of the relationship between the Mi lion's big mouth, and she doesn't want to mention her too much, no matter what Mi Shi does, as long as she doesn't withdraw from her relatives at this juncture, she will let them go.

Meng Yan nodded and stopped talking.

When she returned from her daughter's place, Mrs. Meng felt a little tired, so she changed her clothes and lay down on the couch and closed her eyes to rest.

At this time, Ping's mother came in, and when she saw Mrs. Meng's tired face, she wanted to quit, but she heard Mrs. Meng say, "Ping's mother, if you have something, just talk about it." ”

Ping's mother said: "Madam, the slave maid thinks that you are asleep, and there is no big deal, that is, Meng thinks that she wants to come to you to say goodbye, kowtow, she will get married in a few days, knowing that it is inconvenient for you and the master to send her out of the pavilion, so you want to come out of the pavilion to kowtow, if you are tired, the slave and maid will comfort her a few words, forget it." ”

"No...... Let her come. Mrs. Meng thought for a moment and told Ping's mother to let Meng Si in.

Meng Si came with Mi's, so if his daughter got married, Mi's pretended to be good, took her out to buy some dowry, and by the way, found an excuse to come to Meng's house to see if he could get a little benefit.

Mi also asked to see Mrs. Meng, but Ping's mother knew that Meng Si would forget it, and Mi didn't want to see Mrs. Meng anyway, so she didn't mention her when she replied, and when she came out, she said that Madam was a little tired, and only asked Meng Si to go over and say two words, so that Mi Shi could rest outside.

Mi was visibly upset, but Ping's mother simply ignored her.

He brought Month into Madame Monts' house.

Meng Si kowtowed to Mrs. Meng in a proper manner.

Mrs. Meng looked at her carefully, probably during this time, she had eaten well, she was fatter, she was no longer as yellow and thin as she was when she first met, she was wearing a pink floral satin skirt, and she had two little red flowers on her head, but she looked very watery, her face was also flushed, and there was a faint joy in her eyes, probably because her wishes came true.

This kind of expression is not unfamiliar to Mrs. Meng, and her daughter is about to get married before, so she also has such a demeanor, but ...... Thinking of his daughter, and then looking at Meng Si, I couldn't help but think of Xiaofu again, before Xiaofu got married, he didn't have such a joyful look.

Although Xiaofu was also silent at that time, he seemed to be shy and timid, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that it is not shy, but deliberately avoiding love.

At that time, Xiaofu did not have the excitement and joy of getting married, as if facing a reluctant family affair, and later became seriously ill, but she didn't think too much about it at that time, and at first she thought it was the rumors that the prince was a little worried...... Now that I think about it, there are a lot of weird things.

"Grandmother...... This is the forehead embroidered by the granddaughter, the embroidery is not good, you should think about it. Meng Si was a little shy and gave a wipe, she was really grateful to Madame Meng for what she had done, but she had nothing to repay except for embroidering something.

"I have a heart, and the embroidery is really good. Mrs. Meng took it, took a look, and at a glance she could see that it was embroidered very carefully, and after putting down the forehead, she thought for a moment and looked directly into Meng Si's eyes, "Meng Si, how does grandmother treat you?"

"Grandmother, you are very kind to Monsien. Meng Si didn't want to answer.

Mrs. Monte asked, "Then do you want to repay your grandmother?"

"Yes. Month's answer was simple, more firm.

Mrs. Meng didn't beat around the bush: "Okay, now I want to ask you a few questions, don't blame me for what I mean, just answer seriously, even if it is to repay me, I just want to hear the truth." ”

"Yes, Month must not tell a half-lie. Meng Si said firmly, "If there is half a lie, but let Meng Sitian hit five thunders." ”

Such a poisonous oath shows Meng Si's sincerity, so Mrs. Meng said: "Do you hate Mi Shi?"

Meng Si was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Mrs. Meng to ask this question, she slowly lowered her head, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "Hate." ”

Seeing another word, which was evident to be the truth, Mrs. Meng asked again: "Why? Because she beat you and scolded you?"

Meng Si shook his head and said: "No, parents are strict with their daughters, and they should be, in the countryside, not to mention mothers, other mothers in the village often beat and scold their own daughters, country girls are worthless, they all come over like this, I don't hate Mrs. because of this." ”

"Why is that?" Lady Mont stared into Month's eyes.

Meng Si's eyes slowly turned red, and he said for a long time: "Because she killed my own mother, my own mother hanged herself because she heard that she was going to be sold to the dirty realm...... In the end, he was thrown into a mass grave by a roll of broken mats. ”

It turns out that this is the case, Mrs. Meng also knows that it is impossible for the Mi family to treat Meng Simengnian's mother well, but she didn't expect that it would be so vicious, just a house, and she sold it, but she gave people a way to live, so why sell people to that kind of realm for a few more taels of silver.

Randomly, she immediately thought of another question, yes, it is said that the hatred of killing her mother is not shared, and Xiaofu's biological mother, Aunt Xiang, also died unexplained, according to calculations, it should also be killed by the woman in front of her, and there is no grave.
