Shu is the southern boundary of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the land is vast and abundant, and it is known as the land of fish and rice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the Meng clan in Shu has a long history, and more than half of the people in this free city are related to the dream family.
Mengfu is located in the middle of Xiaoyao City, covering an area of hundreds of acres. Its surroundings are prosperous to this day because of its existence.
Dream House
The lights are colorful, and everywhere is joyful and peaceful.
General Mengda, who has been away from home for several years, took his wife and children home to live for the rest of his life, which is a great thing for the people in Xiaoyao City. The people in the city admire Meng Zhilong, which is like the Yangtze River!
Even if he knew that Meng Qingqing and the current emperor were reconciled, it did not affect the welcome of the people. Flowers, shouts and cheers......
It was in such cheers that Meng Qingqing returned to Mengfu, the ancestral home of the Dream Family. On the vermilion gate, the dragon flying and the phoenix danced with the word Mengfu, and there were countless maids and servants standing on both sides, all of whom welcomed the arrival of Mengzhilong with a respectful demeanor.
At the front stood a gray-haired old woman, dressed in simple clothes but noble, and her demeanor was kind but majestic, so that people could respect her. She is the old lady of Mengfu, Meng Zhilong's mother, Meng's Duan Yinyuan.
Speaking of this old lady of the Meng family, it was also a good story back then, she fought on the battlefield with Meng Zhilong's father Meng Aotian, and she killed countless enemies in every move, which can be described as a heroine among women, and women do not let their eyebrows be shaved!
"Mother, how can I bother you to come out to meet the unfilial child." Meng Zhilong knelt down in front of the old lady of the Meng clan and kowtowed fiercely.
"My daughter-in-law and my daughter visit my mother, and I wish my mother a long life and a long life!" Zuo Shuyan also pulled Meng Qingqing to kneel behind Meng Zhilong and kowtowed to the old lady of the Meng family.
"Qingqing, I've seen my grandmother." Meng Qingqing also kowtowed a few times to the old lady Duan under Zuo Shuyan's teaching. This ancient time is really annoying, kneeling down and kowtowing at every turn, Meng Qingqing is still a little dissatisfied in her heart. It's still modern!
The old lady of the Meng family stepped forward and helped Meng Zhilong up and said, "Son! It's good to be back, it's good to be back! But I've wronged you, my son......" The old lady of the Meng family held Meng Zhilong's face with tears and looked at it carefully, this Meng Zhilong has been away from home for decades, and has been guarding the border gates, and he does not dare to leave his post without permission during the New Year's holidays.
"Mother, it's your son's unfilial piety that worries you!" Meng Zhilong couldn't help but have red eyes, his mother's gray hair was already so much.
"Come on, don't kneel, let's talk ...... house" The old lady of the Meng family took Meng Zhilong's hand and walked inside, ignoring Zuo Shuyan, mother and daughter, who were still kneeling on the ground.
"Mother, Shuyan and Qingqing haven't gotten up yet......" Meng Zhilong reminded carefully.
"Oh! I almost forgot that there were ...... them" The old lady of the Meng family did not hide her dissatisfaction with Zuo Shuyan and Meng Qingqing at all and said: "Yo! You're embarrassed to come back, isn't the capital a good place? How can we compare to our small place here......"
"Mother! They are the wives and children of the children, and they will follow the children wherever they go, and if they do something wrong, the mother will tell the children that the children will be disciplined. But now that there are so many people watching on the street, my mother should let them in! Meng Zhilong tactfully expressed his meaning, and he and his wife are one.
The old lady of the Meng family looked at the people watching around and was not angry, so she had to say to Zuo Shuyan and Meng Qingqing: "Today I asked you to come in for the sake of Zhilong's face, but you know what you have done wrong in your hearts, and you haven't closed your doors to me to think about it, and you can't come out without my permission."
"Yes, thank you, Mother!" Zuo Shuyan nodded virtuously in thanks, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and pulled Meng Qingqing into the dream mansion.
Speaking of the past of Mrs. Duan and Zuo Shuyan, it is the ancient and modern version of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war. First, this Zuo Shuyan knows how to write and martial arts, so she doesn't like the old lady. And then there is no grandson to inherit the family business, which is also the most disgusting thing for the old lady, the dream family has a big business, no one inherits her, how embarrassed to go down to see Meng Aotian!
If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Shuyan had been stationed at the border with Meng Zhilong all these years, I don't know how many grievances she would have suffered. In addition, Meng Qingqing was already a sure queen, and she could glorify her ancestors. Now it's good! was swept out of the house by the emperor, to put it nicely, it was a harmony, and if it was ugly, it was abandoned! There will be a queen who will be reconciled from the royal family, this is really a shame to be thrown into the public! How could the old lady of the Meng clan accept that the face of the bark of the tree, the glory of several generations was ruined like this......
Meng Qingqing looked at the old lady of the Meng family with a wicked mother-in-law's face, and complained in her heart with dissatisfaction. I'll go! It's really just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den!
Zuo Shuyan took Meng Qingqing's hand and cautiously followed a first-class maid to a remote and dilapidated courtyard.
"Madam, this is the accommodation arranged for you by the old lady, please go in!" The maid pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door, and the dust fluttered down, indicating that no one had stayed in it for a long time.
"Does my dad live here too?" Meng Qingqing asked.
"How can the lord live here, the lord is the head of the family, of course he has to live in the main house......"
"Why doesn't my dad live in the main house and we don't live in it? My mother is his wife, and I am also his daughter-in-law. Meng Qingqing asked rhetorically.
"Humph! You deserve ...... too," the maid muttered in a low voice. She originally looked down on Meng Qingqing, isn't she just a woman who has been abandoned? Although that person is the emperor, but being abandoned by the emperor is not even more faceless, this is known to the whole world, how can she still have the face to live......
Such a person still wants to live in the main house, so let's dream of it! The old lady is a good student, and she must separate them so that she can surprise the master!
The maid thought about Miss Biao's gentle temperament, and then looked at Meng Qingqing's rampant appearance, and decided to help Miss Biao get the master.
"Madam, this is arranged by the old lady, if you have any dissatisfaction, just tell her, the slave and maid just follow the instructions, and the other slaves and maids will not know!" The maid replied with no one in her eyes, and made a gesture and said, "If the lady has no orders, the slave and maid will go down first!"
"How can you speak like that to Madame?" Lou Suxin said dissatisfiedly: "You are just a maid, who gave you the courage?"
The maid looked at Lou Suxin's appearance, but she was also a maid, and she dared to speak to herself like this, she was a first-class maid in front of the old lady.
"I'm the first-class maid Baojuan next to the old lady, who dare you talk to me like this?" Baojuan looked down on Lou Suxin, didn't she dare to speak to herself like this even if she was a little girl.
"Su Xin, give me a palm!" Meng Qingqing is the villain who can't see this kind of dog-fighting power.
"Yes!" Dare to bully Madame and Miss, your eyes look blind! Lou Suxin raised her arm and slapped Baojuan in the face.
