Chapter 224: The Role of Family Rules
Although Mrs. Shen understood Meng Zhen's thoughts, she was a heroine who once followed her husband to fight immediately, and she was really not squeamish to the point where she had to match meat and vegetables during the march.
Not to mention the days when she only ate dry food and dried meat, had nothing to eat, and could only go hungry, Mrs. Shen had not experienced it.
Therefore, she decisively rejected Meng Hao's proposal to let her take some well-stored vegetables to set off.
Of course, refusal is rejection, even if she refuses, Mrs. Shen still thinks that such a small detail is the best proof that her daughter is more intimate than her son.
After all, her son has never taken such careful care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Shen subconsciously gave Shen Weide a slightly dissatisfied look of disappointment.
Shen Weide was confused, but fortunately, it was not the first time that he was inexplicably disliked by his mother, and for this, the current Shen Weide had already developed a strong ability to resist.
Regarding Mrs. Shen's little eyes, Shen Weide chose to pretend not to see it very calmly.
He said goodbye to Su Shen and Meng Hao, and then left Ninghai County with the convoy.
Those who have noticed their group will naturally subconsciously be curious about the relationship between these people and the Su family.
Ordinary people may not have channels to find out, but those big people in Ninghai County have more or less inquired about the secret information from their own personal networks.
As a result, the gossip that "Meng Zhen's mother is actually a big person" quickly spread in the upper circles of Ninghai County.
Meng Zhen didn't pay attention to these anymore.
Mrs. Shen's identity would arouse suspicion from others, and Meng Hao and Su Shen had actually expected it.
After all, whether Mrs. Shen came to Ninghai County or returned to Guangningwei, General Shen sent a good hand in the army to escort her.
This kind of revival may not be enough to arouse reverie.
But if there are too many times, it is not easy for others not to notice.
Therefore, Meng Zhen has long been mentally prepared for all kinds of gossip about her life experience.
However, it is one thing to be mentally prepared, but it is another thing to tell those who come to inquire about the news.
Meng Zhen doesn't have a strange hobby of taking her life experience to cook for others.
So, under the banner of visiting the door, the female relatives of all the families who came to Meng Zhen here with all kinds of clichés and various temptations, Meng Hao's response measures were all a set of Tai Chi finished, and then politely let the subordinates send them away.
These people couldn't pry Meng Hao's mouth open, and in the end they had to look for other ways in a stupid way.
Of course, these are not something that Meng Zhen can control.
Compared with her, Su Shen's situation is much better.
He has been in the academy for a long time, and it is much more difficult to find him and spy on him by the way, than to find Meng Hao.
***
After the autumn harvest, the marriage of Guo Song and Mu Hibiscus was officially put on the agenda.
Since Mu Hibiscus did not intend to give herself and the Guo family to her biological father and stepmother to suck blood, she married in one of the second-entry houses under Meng Zhen's name.
In order not to make the scene of the kiss look too cold, Meng Zhen not only went to marry Mu Hibiscus in person on the wedding day, but also asked Begonia, hosta and others to accompany Mu Hibiscus there for three days in a row as their mother's family, which can be regarded as a good façade for Mu Hibiscus.
As for the dowry gifts sent by the Guo family, except for some food and wine that could not be stored well, Meng Zhen helped the hibiscus directly distribute it to the subordinates in the family, and Meng Zhen helped her pack all the other things that the hibiscus could take away and brought them back to the Guo family as a dowry.
So in the end, Mu Hibiscus actually took a full twenty-four dowry to the Guo family.
These twenty-four dowries, the first two are the land deed, a full set of silver jewelry, and one hundred taels of silver sent by Meng Hao, followed by the six dowries given by the Guo family.
At the back of the Guo family's dowry, Meng Zhen asked her to buy a set of lacquered poplar furniture, a set of red lacquered elm barrel basins, a set of fine white porcelain tableware and tea sets, two sets of red embroidered eyebrows pattern, eight sets of new red clothes inside and out, and ten fine muslin of different colors......
These things were a mess, and in the end they were full of ten lifts.
In the two of these ten lifts, there are various makeup gifts given to begonias by hostas and others.
The last four lifts are the jewelry, velvet flowers, cloth, and private money that Hibiscus herself has accumulated over the years, as well as the clothes, shoes and socks she is accustomed to wearing, rouge gouache, copper mirror makeup box, and fan handkerchief......
At first, Mu Hibiscus didn't expect that her personal belongings would be so exaggerated, or the hosta they began to help her pack her things, and she realized that during the time she served by Meng Hao's side, she didn't know how much she had benefited.
She had mixed feelings in her heart, her reluctance to Meng Zhen and a little fear of the future, which made her almost can't help but be willful, and say something like "The slave is not married".
Fortunately, hibiscus is not a begonia with a loose temperament after all, even if there are more complicated feelings in her heart, this girl will not cause such a big trouble to others when the matter is a foregone conclusion.
She cried and swollen her eyes, but in the end, she insisted on kowtowing to Meng Zhen three times, and was helped out of the house by Xi Niang.
Meng Hao originally didn't want to receive such a big gift from her, after all, she is no longer the master of Hibiscus, and if Hibiscus kneels to her again, she will have a strange feeling of marrying a daughter uncontrollably......
However, Mu Hibiscus was very persistent on this point, Meng Hao didn't let her kowtow, so she refused to follow Xi Niang.
Meng Zhen was looked at by her tearful eyes, and in desperation, Meng Hao had no choice but to let her.
finally sent the rare crying hibiscus to the sedan chair, but Meng Zhen had to continue to deal with the onlookers and ridicule of the stupid and bold Begonia.
This girl is obviously used to being a little bit big and small by Meng Hao, at first she was crying there and wiping her tears because Hibiscus was about to leave, but when she saw Meng Zhen's embarrassed look, this stupid girl quickly burst into tears and laughed, and watched the play in a grand manner.
Meng Hao doesn't care much about her own authority, so naturally she won't drag her out and beat her up because she watched the show, so in the end, Haitang got the "punishment", and it became a hundred times to copy the house rules.
There are family rules, and the Su family and the Meng family originally didn't have them.
The reason why it came out now is because Mrs. Shen's henchman and grandmother, who are really idle and bored in Ninghai County, so they combined with the actual situation of the Su family to help Meng Zhen get such a thing.
Not to mention, this thing really has a good effect on regulating the affairs of the Su family and restraining the masters and subordinates of the Su family.
Meng Zhen is a person who loves to use the fruits of other people's ready-made labor, so she is very happy to use this family rule as it is.
As for the way she applied the house rules, nine out of ten times it was a trivial matter of punishing someone to copy it... That's not the point, Meng said.
