XXXVI. The choice of a concubine is in the hands of the wife

There was some inexplicable anger towards Meng Nanjun, and Liu Yunqi didn't know what to do. She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment before asking, "But what did he do that I don't know about to make you so angry?" ”

Seeing that she finally expected it clearly, Meng Nanjun let out a long sigh, and finally softened her tone again.

"You trust me?" Meng Nanjun asked.

Liu Yunqi nodded spontaneously.

"I don't ask who you trust more between me and Zhou Xu, after all, this is embarrassing for you. In this way, you have been living with me for these days, if I find out that Zhou Xu really has no evil intentions towards you, I will not care about the affairs between the two of you in the future, how about it? ”

Hearing her say this, Liu Yunqi knew that this was her biggest concession, so she nodded.

Meng Nanjun didn't talk about this time anymore, and took care of the elixir carefully.

In Liu Yunqi's eyes, these elixirs were unrecognizable at all, and she was sleepy when it was cold outside, so she didn't accompany Meng Nanjun for long before entering the house.

It's just that when she entered the house and saw Lishu, she asked again, "How is your young lady these days?" ”

"What else," Lishu said while sighing, "Miss Liu doesn't know, this Gu family is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and when our young lady goes in, I don't know how many people are staring at her." No, the day before he got married, he made the people in the house lose face, and after entering the mansion, it became even worse. ”

"Especially the second aunt Li, who looked at the young lady unpleasantly, changed her way to find trouble, and gave her family law."

Liu Yunqi and Meng Nanjun grew up together since childhood, and they know how much Master Meng spoils her, and if they make small mistakes on weekdays, they are only thugs, and the family law is still too serious.

What's more, this Li family is still an outsider.

"It's just an aunt, who gave her the ability to even dare to beat her eldest daughter-in-law?"

"That's not the way it goes." Lishu gritted his teeth angrily as he spoke, and the action of cleaning up his hands was a little heavier. "But then again, this old man's wife died early, and all the people in the house are aunts, and it is common for young ladies to be outnumbered."

Liu Yunqi thought about it carefully, and it was indeed this reason, so she was inevitably a little worried.

"Why don't I let my father go and talk to Master Gu?"

As soon as these words came out, Lishu suddenly nodded again and again, "If Miss Liu's family can help one or two, it would be a great thing." ”

As soon as Lishu's words fell, he saw Meng Nanjun push the door in, first glanced at her, and then said to Liu Yunqi: "Don't trouble your father, it's not worth it." ”

"What's not worth it?" Liu Yunqi argued, "My father treats you as half a daughter, with our friendship, what are you polite?" ”

Meng Nanjun had just turned over the soil, and at this time he soaked his hands in water and cleaned it carefully, and when he heard the words, he rolled his eyes, "I have a polite relationship with you." ”

This is what Liu Yunqi said was that he was seriously ill, but he didn't say a word to Meng Nanjun.

Liu Yunqi was choked by her words, and she didn't know how to argue for a long time, but fortunately, Meng Nanjun didn't mean to talk to her in detail, so she wiped her hands and said something else.

"I said it's not worth it, not because I'm afraid that your family will get involved in my affairs, but although the old man of the Gu family has lived to the point of relying on his son to support him, he is an unclear and arrogant person. Your father is a businessman, and he may not want to listen to what he says, so wouldn't it be disgusting if he did another trick?"

In Daqi, although a businessman has money, he is a lower official in terms of status, Meng Nanjun does not shy away from speaking, Liu Yunqi can also understand what she means, and her heart is even more worried.

"Then you're going to let them bully?" Liu Yunqi asked.

Meng Nanjun put the veil aside, turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "After so many years with me, you don't know what kind of character I am?" You see, if they dare to embarrass me, I can turn their field upside down. ”

Liu Yunqi still trusts this very much, so he stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, which has a kind of meaning that everything is unspoken.

But not half an hour after the big words were released, Lishu came in with a bitter face, saying that someone from the Gu Mansion was looking for him.

Meng Nanjun couldn't, so he had to go to the front hall in person.

Gu Fu came to an old servant, looking at his kind face, but there was a fine light in his eyes, which made people dislike it at first glance.

Seeing Meng Nanjun, the old servant first saluted, and then said in a proper manner: "The old slave is the person who serves the master, and he has come to invite the young lady to go back." ”

The title of "Young Lady" is a novelty, and in Meng Nanjun's ears, it is the first time that anyone has heard it mentioned like this.

However, she did not have a slightly respectful title to change her opinion of the person in front of her, but nodded casually.

"My husband is not at home, and I don't have anything to do in the house, so it shouldn't be a big deal to go back to my parents' house for a few days."

"The young lady laughed," the old servant leaned his back slightly, and did not raise his eyes when he spoke, but a somewhat grim smile came out of the corner of his mouth. "It's really not a big deal to go back to your mother's house to live, but since you marry into the Gu Mansion, you should put the Gu Mansion first, and the young lady should understand this."

Meng Nanjun didn't bother to talk to him about those three obediences and four virtues, and urged a little impatiently: "If you have anything to say, I still have something to do." ”

"What is going on, I'm afraid we won't know until the young lady goes back."

Seeing him like this, Meng Nanjun almost laughed angrily, but if she didn't go back, she was afraid that she would be arranged, so in order to avoid greater trouble, she still went back to Gu's house first.

However, when she entered the main courtyard, she only saw Jiang and Bian Tian beside her.

"What's the matter with the second aunt?" Meng Nanjun first found a chair to sit down, and at a glance, it was as if she was the master.

Li almost smashed the teacup in his hand, but after calming down a little, he still opened his mouth unhurriedly.

"I called you over today, and I still have to talk to you about the rules of the Gu Mansion."

There were only two of them, and Meng Nanjun didn't bother to pretend to be innocent and harmless with them, so she sneered and asked: "I only asked for family law two days ago, and this injury is still on me, so the second aunt won't use the same means." ”

Li was so angry with her that before he could speak, Bian Tian became angry.

"That's your attitude towards your elders?"

Meng Nanjun glanced at her again, "Is Aunt Thirteen's hand good?" ”

was lifted to the wound, Bian Tian's face turned slightly pale, perhaps because of the support of the Li family, she was a little bolder.

"Isn't this injury caused by you? I haven't bothered with you yet, but you dare to mention it first. ”

"What don't you dare to mention?" Meng Nanjun straightened out the hem of her clothes, "The two of you are just aunts in my eyes, if you want to make your lady's majesty, you have to ask the master if he agrees." ”

"You!" Bian Tian was provoked by her, and was about to step forward to beat her. However, Li Shi held his breath, stretched out his hand, and looked at Meng Nanjun.

"You're right. But although the two of us are not in the main room, they are also the concubines of the lord and your elders. What's more, the lord has already handed over the power to take care of the house to me, do you have to have some respect for me? ”

Meng Nanjun nodded, "Indeed, as the second aunt said, just looking at my age, I have a little more respect." ”

pushed her identity to the age when she didn't like it the most, and Meng Nanjun did it in order not to save face for her. Sure enough, Li's face darkened, and then he gritted his teeth a little.

"Second aunt, let's talk about anything clearly, we can't spend it here."

In a few words, the Li family had no intention of suppressing her at all, and was even afraid that if he kept someone else, he couldn't help but make a move on her. As soon as Meng Nanjun finished speaking, Li clenched his fists and said his intention to find her today.

"Your Meng family also had its heyday, and you should know that most of the children of the family are three wives and four concubines."

Meng Nanjun raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Second aunt, don't compare the Meng family, it's already rare for a man from our Meng family to have a concubine, but it can't compare to the Gu family's group of wives and concubines." The second aunt was not blinded by a leaf, mistakenly thinking that all families are like this. ”

Her face turned black when she said this, and Li slapped the small table next to the chair, and opened his mouth to say "shut up".

Meng Nanjun didn't say anything more.

It's not that I'm afraid of what the Li family will do to her, but I feel that I can't be unforgiving like this, and I can't bring up this serious matter.

"I don't care what your Meng family is, and I don't care what the family outside is, in short, as a Gu family, the concubine is always indispensable." When Li said this, he glanced her up and down, "As for the reason, it's okay to talk to you." ”

"Our lord is the emperor, and the Marquis of Dingnan has a high status in the court, and the woman he wants to marry is not to mention the talent, at least this family must be passable. As for you...... If the Meng family is still the former Meng family, it can be regarded as being able to climb the Gu Mansion, but what is the Meng family like now, as a descendant of the Meng family, you don't need me to say more. ”

Meng Nanjun heard that she actually laughed at the Meng family, and the coldness in her eyes deepened a little.

"The second aunt weighed it clearly, if my Meng family is still the same as before, it will not be the turn of others to calculate so far."

Xu was confident that when he met her gaze this time, Li Shi was not only not annoyed, but even smiled more obviously at the corner of his mouth. "So what? You're not defenseless? ”

Meng Nanjun couldn't refute this, after all, the Meng family was in decline because of her, and she was also controlled by others because of this.

But she will never be controlled by others all the time.

"So what the second aunt means is, let me, Mrs. Dingnanhou, go to my husband's concubine room?" She asked with a smile.

"Nature." Lee replied.

"Then dare to ask the second aunt, does the master know about this matter?"

"It was the master's order that I told you this. After all, the affairs of Dingnanhou are not something that an aunt of mine can call the shots. ”

Meng Nanjun heard this, and got up from the chair again, "Since it is something that the master also agrees to, I naturally have to do it." However, the husband is not at home, and the matter of choosing a concubine must be done according to my ideas. At this point, the second aunt and the old man should not be accounted for. ”

The second aunt mentioned this matter to Master Gu today, which is in itself to respond to Meng Nanjun, not to mention that the woman of the family is really very good, it is impossible to be a concubine, and if you find some crooked melons and cracked dates, it will disgust Gu Xiao, but it can also make them happy.

So the second aunt deserved to be happy, but she didn't know that there would be a disaster in the house in the future.
