At today's family meeting, the second master Zhao Zhoucheng was naturally also present.

At this time, when he heard that Lan Ting had insisted on the charge of "embezzlement" of public funds, of course he had to share the same hatred, and snorted coldly: "Da Lang is talking like this, he is pretending to be confused, how can Da Lang not know where this money goes?!" ”

"My nephew really doesn't know, and the second uncle is relieved." Lan Tingbian pretended to be confused.

The second old man almost didn't have green smoke above his head, and sneered: "This money is needed by your uncle and grandfather, and it was ordered by your own grandmother to transfer it, are you a humble child, and you still have to question the old lady's crime of embezzlement?!" ”

Lan Ting got up and saluted the old lady: "Please also ask grandmother to make it clear, is what the second uncle said true?" ”

The old lady had no choice but to admit: "This matter is indeed not your second uncle and aunt's own opinion, your uncle really needs to deal with it......"

"Grandmother, An Luhou and Taishifu are in-laws, if there are difficulties in money, because of this good marriage, Taishifu should naturally help, but grandmother should not hide from her grandson and instruct her uncle to embezzle/public funds in this way, since her grandson doesn't know it, her mother doesn't know what is going on, although she misunderstands her uncle, she doesn't mean to slander." The meaning of this is that Chungui should not bear the blame.

The old lady waved her hand weakly: "That's it, I really shouldn't blame your daughter-in-law, it's just this...... How do you end up? ”

The second uncle and grandmother also had no intention of pursuing it, but they only proposed to let the third uncle and the fourth uncle share the internal affairs of the sect family, and the grandson thought that this matter was indeed the fault of the clan family, and in order to convince the clan, he should follow the advice. I will not mention the past, but in the future, I will never condone the embezzlement/private practice of public funds under the guise of connivance. ”

"Brother Ting, the reason why your uncle is short of money is not because of extravagance, but because of extravagance, it is actually ......."

"Grandmother, if there is a problem in the Anlu Hou Mansion, you should also borrow money in a clear account, if the people in charge of the family council regard the family rules as empty words, how can you convince the family? In order to settle the slander and put an end to violations, I hope that my grandmother can learn from it. ”

What else can the old lady say? I had to agree to let the three or four daughters-in-law assist in the housework, but in the end, the resentment filled the viscera and chattered and complained: "Take the account to borrow money? I have to borrow so much money every year, where can the elders of Xuanzhutang agree? There's no reason to just borrow and not pay it back! But if my brother has a lot of money, and he borrows and repays, can I still act like this? The eldest and second children all know the matter of funding the Hou Mansion, they have always been filial to their uncle, and no one will care about this idea. ”

"The old lady really made a mistake this time." Mama Su sighed and said: "Uncle doesn't know that the internal accounts can't stand up to inspection, and the intention of the eldest grandmother to expose this matter should be to let the third lady and the fourth lady share the right to manage the second lady, but not against the old lady and the Anluhou Mansion, if the old lady has not blamed the eldest grandmother for this matter, the uncle will not pursue it, so it seems that the uncle really takes care of the eldest grandmother as an eyeball, and is reluctant to let the eldest grandmother suffer half a sentence of blame." ”

"Brother Ting is so stupid! It's a shame that his uncle still loves him so much! ”

"The old lady's complaints are useless, and the only way to do this is to show grandma more."

He also said that Lan Ting and Chun Gui returned to the Eagle Garden, and they also had some discussions about today's incident.

"Your actions this time not only touched the second uncle

The interests of the mother, and even the grandmother were damaged, although the effect was fast, the subsequent troubles had to be carefully guarded against. Lan Ting didn't blame, but he was a little worried that Chungui would be subject to more calculations, although he would definitely be able to protect Chungui, but in the end, he would make Chungui more useless.

"Don't say that when my grandfather was alive, he confessed to alienating the Anluhou Mansion, but the old lady privately embezzled this amount of money to fund the Jiang family to seek savings, and she couldn't condone it for a long time, I did act a little hastily this time, but I also cut through the chaos quickly, and the position of the head of the family was stable, even if the old lady was resentful of me, she would have some scruples, so that she would not turn her face for this money, and she would wear small shoes for me on the surface."

"Even if Grandmother wants to put on small shoes for you, there will be Mama Su to stop you for the time being, but before that, Concubine Hui and An Luhou Mansion are still safe and sound, but if one day ...... Grandmother has no scruples, this new hatred and old hatred have to be settled together, and Huihui has to be fully prepared. ”

"I can't think of such a long-term thing, I can try to relax one day and relax one day, now that there are three uncles and four uncles in charge of the house, the second lady will be distracted, but there are not so many idle eyes staring at me to be embarrassed, and even if she wants to make conspiracies, it is not as easy as in the past to have two other uncles and aunts watching."

"Then Huihui can free up his hands and be able to arrange for Mei Lang and his eldest sister to see each other?" Lan Ting no longer mentions this fait accompli.

"Naturally, when the time comes, the second lady is now full of thoughts about how to guard against the division of manpower and power, and she doesn't have so much heart to interfere in the eldest sister's marriage." Spring returns with their own plans.

If you want to talk about the marriage of the eldest girl, the second master naturally sees it more tightly than the housekeeper's right to do it, but Wei Guogong has already shown a passive and inactive attitude, and it is really difficult for him to persuade Lan Ting to change his mind by himself, except for repeatedly letting the old lady put pressure on the elder shelf, there is no other good plan, plus Mrs. Peng can't take care of it, Chun Gui will be more confident to handle this blind date, no matter what the result is, after all, he will not let the eldest sister be used as a tool for profit by the second master, In vain, he gave the glory and wealth of the Anlu Marquis Mansion as a stepping stone.

The place to see each other is set at the home of the second uncle and ancestor, from the etiquette point of view, the second uncle and grandmother should naturally come to invite the old lady, but the old lady seems to have an attitude of opposition, she has no interest in the Mei family Xiaolang, and refuses to attend, Mrs. Peng, as the mother-in-law, naturally wants to go to the palm of the hand, but of course she does not have the slightest enthusiasm, she sits on the table with a straight face, and only looks at Mei Hanbo with a pair of cold eyes.

Chun Hui secretly paid attention to Mrs. Mei, with a round face, smiling at everyone, but not talking much, especially seeing Mrs. Peng's cold face from beginning to end, it was quite restrained, and she didn't dare to talk to Mrs. Peng, only laughed and chatted with the second old lady, and also paid attention to the girl sitting behind the second lady, her eyes became softer and softer, which showed satisfaction and joy.

Chun Gui first fell in love with his mother-in-law for his eldest sister, and then he paid attention to Mei Hanbo, sitting upright, his eyes were clear, his demeanor was gentle and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, even if he had been looked at by Mrs. Peng with a critical gaze, his demeanor did not have any waves, but when he responded to the second old lady's question, his eyes were frank and swaying, and occasionally he also spoke, not at all to see each other's twist, and even revealed the emotion of wanting to have a deep talk with the "fiancée".

What's even more interesting is that Mei Langjun mentioned that he had broken the Luxuezhai endgame not long ago.

Not only does she know that she has a preference for chess, but she also knows the chess game she failed to crack, so it's a light thing at this time

Writing a sentence, it is intended to arouse the attention of the beautiful woman, and it is very euphemistic to express her hope for this marriage and confess her heart.

Chungui naturally left an opinion, and the eldest sister smiled slightly on the corners of her lips when she heard this.

Nowadays, the so-called look at each other, most of the parents of the two sides are responsible for the palm of the eye, the more the marriage between the big families, the less it is recommended to let the children and daughters meet directly, even if it is like the second old lady puts the happiness of the children and grandchildren in the first place, and the proposition of making an exception is so worthy of the name, after all, it is not possible to let Mei Hanbo and the eldest girl be alone, so it is just a time for tea, Mei Hanbo was accompanied by several grandchildren of the second old lady to another place to drink and talk, Mrs. Peng said goodbye, her cold face was even colder, and she also pulled up the fan together:" There are still a lot of housework in the Taishi's Mansion, and my uncle forgive me for missing it first, and the big girl is also learning to manage the house now, and she doesn't have so much time to play. ”

She expressed her dissatisfaction with this family affair in public, but the wonderful thing was that she didn't forget to ask the second old lady before leaving: "Uncle and grandmother must ask the second brother about the trick to solve the endgame of Lu Xuezhai." ”

This is the result of this view, meaning the word "willing".

Even Mrs. Mei understood, and didn't care about Mrs. Peng's attitude, and said to the second old lady with a smile: "Bo'er just told me yesterday that the Taishi Mansion has a clean and upright family style, and the children are all talented and virtuous Zhilan Yushu, presumably the boudoir woman must also be a show of wisdom, especially the eldest girl is still deeply loved by the old lady, and the talent is even more impeccable. So I laughed at him for being too inferior, since the old lady can take a fancy to Bo'er, I can't just look at the big girl in front of me, but in the end, my heart is also up and down, thinking about the eldest son of the Taishi Mansion, such a character and talent, if the eldest girl is bent on comparing Bo'er with her brother, I am afraid that she will be disappointed at first sight, but today I see their pair of little children, and they appreciate each other when they first meet, and my heart is finally stable. ”

How shrewd is the second old lady? Naturally, I understood the meaning of the request, and there was no need to verify it afterwards, so he smiled and said: "Don't say that the girl didn't raise her in front of the second daughter-in-law when she was a child, that is, she was raised by my old sister-in-law, and I won't her for this leisure, I know the talents of your family, even if my granddaughters are not of the right age, I still have a few nieces and nephews in my family, and I can't miss this good fate." Don't tell Mrs. you that the marriage of the girl is personally asked by my brother in my family, and I also know her temperament, looking at the girl who is silent and raised by Yang Niang, she has an idea in her heart, and her knowledge is not as good as that of an ordinary boudoir, to say a word of conscience, she is better than my nieces and grandnieces. Again, if your family is a girl, my family is a son, I don't dare to guarantee this marriage, Mrs. should also see it, the second and second daughter-in-law have other claims on this marriage, when the father and mother are not happy, the daughter-in-law is naturally picky, but the girl is married to your family as a wife, Han Bo is only the son-in-law of the second room of the Taishi Mansion, then there is no need to worry at all. ”

Mrs. Mei hurriedly raised her glass to Chungui: "Please also ask Mrs. Gu to waste some heart, and mediate for the little dog in front of Mrs. Tai, I am a vulgar person, I can't speak, I only guarantee that I will regard Sister Fan as my own daughter in the future, the Mei family is not as noble as the Taishi Mansion, but my master is the most upright, and the teaching of Hanbo has been strict since childhood, Hanbo will definitely not treat Sister Fan slowly, and our family will not let Sister Fan suffer the slightest grievance." ”
