Chapter 169: Accepting a Concubine to Fill the House

An Sheng has been absent-minded when he gets up early in the morning, and is always stunned.

Xia Ziwu went to Meng's house this time to come prepared, and it was this special time, she was a little worried, and she didn't know if her sister would be able to deal with it.

In the morning, she deliberately waited near Aunt Rou's yard, and when she saw Xia Yuanwai get up and leave the yard, she immediately greeted her, and mentioned that Xia Ziwu was going to Meng's house. Xia Yuanwai listened absent-mindedly, or rather, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Even, he said to An Sheng with a little blame: "These days, my father's errands are relatively busy, he goes out early and returns late, and many things can't be taken into account, if there is anything, you can go to your mother to discuss." ”

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

In the past, his father's heart was biased and protected Xia Ziwu, but now, his father is still biased, and he can't pretend to be anything else in his heart except Aunt Rou.

She hurried two more steps, caught up with Xia Yuanwai, and pretended to be coquettish: "Hmph, father is simply eccentric, you will have time to take Aunt Rou to Haizhen Pavilion for wine, and you are impatient for your daughter to say a few words to you." ”

"How did I take Aunt Rou to Haizhen Pavilion?"

"Some time ago, Aunt Rou went to Haizhen Pavilion, didn't her father take her to eat and drink?"

Xia Yuanwai shook his head: "These days, the household department is busy with the local autumn grain storage, plus the inventory of grain and rice, it is very busy, where is that kind of leisure?" Who is talking nonsense? ”

An Sheng was stunned, and said to Xia Yuanwai: "It's not nonsense, it's my daughter who saw it in person." ”

Xia Yuanwai was still careless: "Then you must be dazzled, don't be suspicious, like your mother." ”

After that, he hurried out of the house and got into the carriage.

An Sheng came to the medicine store in despair.

She wanted to find Guan Hetian and ask him to help him go to Meng Jinglun to be a lobbyist. As long as Meng Jinglun is not moved, Xia Ziwu will have no chance to take advantage of it. But when I remembered the incident last time, I felt a gap in my heart, and I didn't dare to take the initiative to look for him, for fear that he would misunderstand.

What's more, if she does this, will it make Guan Hetian feel that she is making a little fuss?

Qianzhou walked in front of her, reversed, walked over again, and told Leng Nanxian mysteriously: "Miss Ansheng is afraid that it is Sichun?" ”

Leng Nanxian glanced at An Sheng, who was absent-minded, and then glared at Qianzhou coldly: "Are you very idle?" ”

Qianzhou smiled "hehe": "I also care about her, don't I?" Childe, Miss Ansheng is very wrong today, she is always stunned, sighing, this is obviously a typical symptom of lovesickness. You say, could she just be in love with someone? Or did you regret rejecting Master Guan? ”

Leng Nanxian put down the book in his hand in distraught: "You can go and ask her directly." ”

Qianzhou shrank his neck: "That's it, she won't tell me if she asks." ”

Qianzhou continued to do things, Leng Nanxian finally couldn't help it, walked up to An Sheng, and gently knocked on the table in front of her: "If you don't concentrate on doing things, why are you in a daze?" ”

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, sat up straight suddenly, and smiled perfunctorily: "No, it's nothing." ”

Leng Nanxian propped his arms on the table and stared at An Sheng's face condescendingly: "Are you sure you want to hide it from Master?" ”

An Sheng hesitated slightly, and said with a sad face: "I'm a little worried about my sister, my mother wants to send Xia Ziwu to the Meng family to take care of her, obviously with bad intentions." ”

"You want to stop it?" Leng Nanxian asked.

An Sheng nodded: "My father also ignored it, I really can't think of a way to stop her, and I can't repeat the old trick, they must be the first to suspect me." ”

Leng Nanxian thought for a moment and pursed her lips: "I think the best way is not what you do for your sister, but to teach your sister to resist and let her defend her position by herself." ”

"But my sister's temperament is like this, and she won't say a word when she the tip of the needle."

"That's not a reason." Leng Nanxian said seriously: "It's like a toddler, if you don't let go, for fear that she will fall, she will never be able to walk independently." You can stop a Xia Ziwu for her, but what about others?

The Meng family will also fill the house for Meng Jinglun's concubine. Meng Jinglun himself may not be able to resist the temptation of the outside world, can you control these? Can you stay by her side all the time and overcome all the obstacles for her?

You must let your sister understand that defending herself, and the child in her womb, the biggest reliance is not Meng Jinglun, nor you Xia Ansheng, but herself. ”

Leng Nanxian's words were reasonable, and An Sheng was stunned for a while: "Then what should I do?" ”

"You can remind your sister to be careful of Xia Ziwu's methods, teach her how to deal with other people's ill intentions, you can be your sister's backing, and turn to you when she has unsolvable difficulties. But you can't plan everything for her. Do you understand? ”

An Sheng lowered his head, thought for a while, and then raised his head, and finally made up his mind: "Then I will go to find Brother Guan later and let him remind my sister." ”

Leng Nanxian frowned slightly: "You can go by yourself." ”

"Personally? Not too presumptuous? ”

Leng Nanxian looked at her for a long time: "Xia Ziwu has been killed to the Meng family, what kind of presumptuous is it for you to come to visit?" What's more, what is the purpose of Master teaching you medical skills? ”

An Sheng understood and immediately jumped up: "I'll go immediately." ”

Meng Mansion, I just had breakfast, and Lord Meng has not come back from the court.

An Ran had already vomited in the dark these days, and his appetite improved, and he ate a bowl of chicken soup and silver noodles for breakfast, and also ate two pieces of dim sum that Meng Jinglun sandwiched.

One of them is a lotus leaf cake that is steamed very soft, Meng Jinglun carefully sandwiched a piece of sauce meat and two cucumber strips in it, which tasted crispy, fragrant, and not greasy at all.

Mrs. Meng snorted displeasedly, and Meng Jingxian's eyes kept turning around her, with dissatisfaction, and then, she picked all the remaining pieces of sauce and meat into the bowl in front of her.

Meng Jingxian likes to eat sauce meat, and she is extremely domineering, An Ran knows it, so she doesn't dare to stretch her chopsticks into the plate. Obviously, Meng Jinglun treated himself so considerately, which made Meng Jingxian and her mother-in-law very dissatisfied.

And Meng Jinglun didn't notice these subtle changes at the dinner table at all, and still asked An Ran very gently: "Do you want to eat a little more porridge?" ”

An Ran shook his head and smiled at Meng Jinglun: "No need, I'm already extremely full." ”

Meng Jingxian threw away the chopsticks in her hand: "Brother, don't you have to go to the academy?" It's already so late. ”

Meng Jinglun got up and still asked An Sheng: "Then I'm leaving, what do you want to eat at night?" I'll be able to bring it back later when I come back. ”

An Ran glanced at Mrs. Meng and shook her head timidly again: "There are quite a lot of things in the house." ”

Meng Jingxian smiled "hehe": "Why don't you ask our mother and what I want to eat?" married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother. ”

"Jingxian," Mrs. Meng interrupted her, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, and it's time to pick her mouth." ”

Meng Jingxian stopped talking, but snorted softly from the end of her nose unconvinced.

Meng Jinglun bowed to Mrs. Meng and said, "Mother, that child went to the academy first, and now his homework is tight." ”

Mrs. Meng nodded happily, and Meng Jinglun went straight to the academy. An Ran also stood up and wanted to retire.

Mrs. Meng put down the chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and motioned to her subordinates to remove the dishes and chopsticks: "Don't leave yet, I have something to say to you." ”

An Ran obediently paused.

Mrs. Meng found an excuse to support Meng Jingxian: "I heard that Jinglun went back to your room to rest last night?" ”

An Ran lowered his head: "He had something to say to the child, and after he finished speaking, he lazily went back to the study and rested directly in the house." ”

"I won't say much, you know the severity." Mrs. Meng glanced at her waist meaningfully.

An Ran knew the meaning of Mrs. Meng's words, lowered her head, and didn't dare to raise it in embarrassment: "Daughter-in-law understands." ”

"But this man is a man after all, you know this, you can't keep holding him back. How did you think about what your mother told you last time? Mrs. Meng said with a pleasant face.

An Ran's heart twitched suddenly, and he smiled bitterly: "Jinglun said that he wants to concentrate on preparing for the spring exam next year, and he doesn't want to be distracted, and this matter will be talked about later." ”

"Don't use Jinglun as a shield." Mrs. Meng suddenly looked annoyed, and her expression turned sharp: "Your mother died early, and no one taught you how to run a family as a person and a wife, and how to be a virtuous and virtuous wife. But as soon as you enter the door of my Meng family and other books such as "The Female Commandment", I will show you, and I don't need to say much about the truth, right? ”

An Ran bit her lower lip tightly, held back the sourness, and nodded magnanimously: "The daughter-in-law understands, and the daughter-in-law must also take "The Legend of the Martyr" as an example and abide by her duty. ”

"It's not just a good wife who abides by women's morality, you also have to worry about your husband's worries, help him take care of his daily life, manage his middle feed, and help him take concubines. Jinglun is the single inheritance of the Meng family, and the matter of this inheritance is all on you. Even if you don't accept your aunt with much fanfare, it shouldn't be too much to find a girl to help you solve your problems, right? ”

An Ran felt a little aggrieved in her heart, Mrs. Meng said these big truths in a high-sounding manner, why didn't she help her father-in-law find a few more aunts in the first place, so that the Meng family would be full of descendants?

If this is changed to An Sheng, even if it is a roundabout corner, he will have to go back, but he will not dare to be safe, and he will only respond: "My daughter-in-law understands, but I didn't find a suitable girl for a while." ”

"There are so many girls in our house, smart and dignified, you can't look at any of them? Why don't you point out two? The two girls I served in front of me were good, their appearance and temperament were first-class and good, and their family background was also innocent. ”

An Ran didn't dare to talk back, and he didn't even dare to say a word "no": "When Jinglun comes back in the evening, I will discuss with him." ”

"What else is there to discuss? You just open the girl's face, comb her hair, and send it to the study to serve. When the matter is done, why not clean up a room in your own yard? Do you really not understand or pretend not to understand? ”

An Ran lowered his head more and more, and his voice was like a gnat: "Everything is at my mother's command." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Meng nodded with satisfaction: "Although there were twists and turns in your marriage with Jinglun at the beginning, fortunately, you are a good girl who is sensible, and it is not in vain that my Meng family succumbed to you and married you as a serious lady." ”
