Chapter 599: The Old Lady Rewards Her Daughter-in-law
The old man Meng Shan sent someone to call Meng Xuan in the front yard, and he was in a hurry, and finally found him in person. Just as the old lady's visiting party followed, the dumb voice quietly followed, and even the old lady didn't notice it. The old lady looked back at Meng Shan and said angrily: "Why don't you squeak, don't frighten the old body." Meng Shan hurriedly pleaded guilty to his mother.
The old lady's side, as Meng Xuan thought, was to see if Meng Xuan's little couple had gotten up and whether there was any accident. To put it bluntly, I came to check the post.
Although under Meng Xuan's clever plan to anticipate the enemy's first, his grandmother and mother were absent from the new daughter-in-law's worship ceremony on the second day of the entrance, however, the new daughter-in-law who entered the door with He Angelica yesterday, the Wang family in the side room of the second room, people don't like to sleep lazy, I heard that the old lady ate too much at the wedding banquet, and the Wang family went to the old lady early in the morning with medicinal food to pay respects, and after a busy day, the gold and silver bracelets on the wrist and in the bun were also taken down to do favors. It won the favor of many subordinates.
After the dusk palm lamp, the eldest grandmother Shang and another new daughter-in-law, the fourth grandmother Liu, also appeared in a swaying skirt. At this time, the old lady was still not very good, she sat on the mahogany carved stepping bed, and did not have a formal meal for a day.
Shang and Liu did not come empty-handed, as soon as they heard that their grandmother's diet had declined, they rushed to ask Chengxi to ask Dr. Hu Yang, who was good at diagnosing this disease, and it was said that he was a more intelligent folk langzhong than the imperial doctor. When Dr. Poplar came to the clinic, Baba waited for a few hours to have it, no, Shang Liu came hand in hand to greet the old lady, followed by a poplar doctor.
Originally, the women in the house were not allowed to have direct contact with the doctor in terms of rules, and the gauze tent and screen were necessary items, but today for the first time, I invited the famous Poplar Doctor in the capital recently, only to find out that this person was a woman, and it was a young girl with a mustache, who was only twenty years old. Imagine a pretty face with a nose and eyes, with two mustaches scrawled under her nose, it is impossible for anyone not to see that she is a female doctor.
The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit women from practicing medicine, but it restricted women's access to these industries. Back then, He Angelica studied acupuncture, and Dou Haiqin loved and valued her talent, but refused to accept her as an apprentice, which is why.
The rare girl in the poplar gave the old lady a look and a look, and finally diagnosed that the old man just ate too much and was hungry for two days. I simply pinched a few acupuncture points for the old lady, which warmed her hands and feet, and her spirit improved a lot.
After that, Dr. Hu Yang was left in the house for two days, and the three of Shang, Liu, and Wang diligently talked to the old lady and made the old lady laugh. I don't know which of these three people mentioned the new seventh grandmother Qingning County Lord, and finally, Shang Shi wanted to say again and again, the young couple has no moderation, I just hope that the county lord is a woman who knows the general situation, and it is good to persuade the seventh brother a little.
The old lady didn't understand much, and after repeated questioning, the old lady's grandmother reported that she had heard the little girls pass on that the seventh master and the seventh grandmother hadn't gotten up yet......
When the old lady heard this, how could Xuan'er's body stand it? So he rushed over to save his grandson from fire and water. The three of Shang each found a reason to leave, and the old lady waited for a while outside the door to listen to the garden, and there was a certain gap between what she heard and what she imagined.
Subsequently, the conversation between the people in the room attracted the attention of the old lady, and she heard the voice of the beautiful woman who fell on the jade plate, and degraded the "rice appreciation system" of the Meng Mansion to the individual, implying that they were extravagant and wasteful, and thankless, the old lady was displeased to listen, but she couldn't find any thorns, but the more she listened, the more she felt reasonable, and finally couldn't help but push the door, wanting to see what the woman who spoke looked like.
"What do you mean...... Over the years, Meng Fu has been empty and extravagant, extravagant and wasteful, and everyone is secretly cheating the master's money? β
After Meng Xuan heard this, he hurriedly pulled He Angelica up and interrupted: "Why don't you invite your grandmother to sit down and serve tea?" He Angelica bowed his knees and went to the tearoom to cook tea.
The old man Meng Shan is a man, and his identity is a father-in-law, so appearing at the door of his daughter-in-law's room without saying hello is obviously not polite. He was in a hurry to find Meng Xuan, and came directly to the door, but he couldn't find anyone who wanted to find a messenger, and he was attracted by He Angelica's words, and he approached the door unconsciously. As soon as the old lady pushed the door, he immediately turned his back, leaving everyone with a majestic back.
Meng Xuan recognized his Lao Tzu at a glance and was quite surprised, he heard the footsteps of the old lady and others, but he couldn't hear his father, who was silent. He first persuaded the old lady to sit down, and then went out to greet his father. He asked in a low voice, "Why did my father come here at this time?" Is there anything important? β
Meng Shan looked at the moon with his hands, and his lips and teeth were only compared to the shape of his mouth, and he didn't make a sound. After Meng Xuan understood, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and he said silently for a moment: "It's really tricky, I didn't expect things to evolve to this point." When I turned around, I saw He Angelica holding a small red lacquer tea tray, and Tingting came out of the tea room in a curling manner. A warm smile seeped into his eyes, and Meng Xuan said, "Father also come in for a cup of tea, right?" Qing'er's skills in cooking tea are very good. β
Meng Shan attaches the most importance to etiquette, not to mention that the daughter-in-law's tea is only served to the mother-in-law, and there is nothing to do with the father-in-law, even if you eat the daughter-in-law's tea, you have to drink it in the main hall facing north and south, so as to comply with the rules. So he shook his head and said in a low voice: "I will repair two letters immediately, you take the letter and go to Beizhili in person, and come back when the matter is satisfactorily resolved." Go into the house and kowtow to the old lady, make up an excuse to take a long vacation, and don't worry the old lady. β
"Huh? I'll go? Meng Xuan was reluctant, this kind of tricky matter, who knows when it will be resolved. His soft and delicious little wife had just come home, and he was sent to go on a long journey, how could there be such an unfortunate thing in the world.
Meng Shan withdrew Mochizuki's gaze and gave his son a majestic look, "Huh? "Does he have an objection?
The tip of Meng Xuan's nose moved, smelled the fragrant fruity fragrance in the house, and saw that He Angelica was pouring tea for the old lady, and the tea soup poured out was red and bright, which should be a thickened red fruit tea. He hurriedly went in and begged for a cup, came out to offer it to Meng Shan, and whispered: "Father, Qing'er is none other than the third lady who bravely saved her grandmother when she went to Luofu for a banquet." β
"Oh?" Meng Shan took the fragrant red fruit tea and took a sip.
Meng Xuan continued: "Qing'er is a good girl, but she is young, timid, clumsy, afraid of life, and it is the first time she has married. During the time when the son was away, the father took care of her, and in case she accidentally got into trouble, the father interceded with the mother. β
As soon as the tea soup was drunk, Meng Shan stuffed the cup into Meng Xuan's hand, noncommittal, but looked at his son's somewhat stupid and worried face again, and thought funny, the first time to get married? Whose girl is willing to marry a second person, just to accumulate experience in getting along with others? And I just heard that girl speak in a clear and sharp manner, if this is still called "clumsy", then the world is dumb. It's just that I didn't expect that this most unruly son still has such a weakness. Indeed, it was his son, like his father.
Meng Shan issued a final notice: "Half an hour later, go to the study to report, set off tonight, don't delay it, don't come back before the matter is doneβthis is a military order." "Then he strode away.
Meng Xuan turned his head with a bitter face, looked indoors, and was taken aback. How is it going to happen? He Angelica is crying! Wasn't it okay when you served tea just now?
He rushed to the table to take a look, a whole watermelon pot of tea soup was all wiped out by the old lady and her attached grandmother, He Angelica's eyes were full of tears, what was the situation? There was a problem with the tea drinking, and the grandmother scolded her?
Without waiting for Meng Xuan to open her mouth why Angelica pleaded, the old lady took the lead in making trouble, snorted coldly, and reprimanded Meng Xuan: "People are Qingning, people like flowers, don't take such a bully." Our family has always been generous and can't tolerate such arrogant behavior of yours. What about books? Take it out and burn it! β
"Ha~~~?" Meng Xuan showed an idiot expression.
He Angelica wiped his tears with a handkerchief, shook his head and said: "It's because the concubine is not in good health, and she suddenly said that she leaked her mouth, and begged her husband to be tolerant." I also beg my grandmother not to blame him, my husband has been in the army for many years, and it is normal for people to see everything fresh after coming out. The concubine is cowardly, she doesn't serve her husband well, and she is worried that in the long run, her husband's health is not good, and the concubine is ...... "The words stopped abruptly, silently wiped away tears, that cowardly and invincible appearance, even the woman felt distressed when she saw it. The grandmothers behind the old lady sighed silently, and then handed Meng Xuan a condemning look.
"Huh?" Meng Xuan was confused. What did he do wrong? What does the old lady blame him?
"Where's the book?" The old lady asked again.
"What book?" Meng Xuan wondered, "My grandson is busy with things and has no time to study." β
He Angelica looked ashamed, leaned into the old lady's ear, and whispered a word. Meng Xuan pricked up his ears and listened, there was the word "Spring Palace", but he was still very confused. Then, the old lady sighed and said, "It's rare that Qingning knows the general situation, and thinks about Xiao Qi." Then let's do it - Mama Xu, you go and tell Aunt Xun and Aunt Bao, let them get ready over there, Xiao Qi wants to go to their room to rest, starting with Aunt Xun. β
Meng Xuan suddenly changed color when she heard this, Aunt Xun, Aunt Bao?! Aren't they, the two-room concubines that their mother gave a year ago? Why did you let him sleep with them? What did Angelica say to the old lady?
A pair of eyes that were so dark that they didn't see the light fell coldly on He Angelica's face, making her shiver unconsciously. This scene fell in the eyes of the old lady, and it confirmed He Angelica's words even more, and put Meng Xuan's crime into practice. Seeing Meng Xuan glaring at his daughter-in-law with a "vicious", this is still in front of the elders, and he is not sure what to do in private, so the old lady instructed another grandmother, "You go to the warehouse, take the curtain of pink crystal family motto beads, and hang them on the bed." β
Family motto bead curtain? After Meng Xuan heard this, her face turned even more cloudy, staring at He Angelica, I don't know how she made a friendship with her grandmother, and what she said to her grandmother. On the second day of the wedding, let him go to sleep in Aunt Xun's room? Is this her wish? She was so impatient to deal with him?
He Angelica lowered his head a little weakly, avoiding Meng Xuan's sharp gaze.
When I was young, the hanging pink crystal family motto bead curtain was moved in by two mothers-in-law "snort, snort", four or five people "snorted" to tear open, ho, a good crystal curtain, each crystal transparent beads, are depicted with a hairpin flower Xiaokai, more than 9,800 beads strung together, strung out of a set of Meng family motto, set up under the light, bright and gorgeous like a dream.
Meng Xuan had heard of the famous hall of this beaded curtain, and also heard that the hairpin flower copied was mainly the part of the "abstinence from color" in the family motto. Such a hellish string of curtains, why did the old lady reward him to the newlywed Yan'er?
The crystal curtain was carefully erected by several grandmothers, moved step by step to the edge of the Tsubaki wood carved bed, and hung the curtain with all hands and feet. But it was not hung outside the bed tent, but in the center of the big bed, and a gorgeous big bed was divided into two lengthwise from the center!
Meng Xuan stared, glanced at those grandmothers who were busy with work, and then at He Angelica, who lowered her eyebrows, and asked suspiciously: "Qing'er, what does this mean?" β
"That's what it means," said the old lady forcefully, "Xuan'er, just be humble and obedient." You should be glad to have such a virtuous daughter-in-law. If it weren't for her virtuousness, I wouldn't know that you have become so bad now, I will hide this matter for you for the time being, tell your mother next time, and see if she doesn't beat you! You must also be restrained when you go to your aunt's, and I will send someone to investigate, for your sake, the old man will have to stay at home for two more months. β
Meng Xuan contacted before and after, and it was finally certain that it was He Angelica who slandered, making the old lady feel that he was lazy with women and didn't care about his body, so the wives of the maids in the room stared at him like a pest!
He glanced deeply at He Angelica with a smile, good girl, did she think it would be okay like this. Let him rest with another woman? She's generous.
After the curtain of the family motto beads was hung, the old lady was also tired, got up and walked two steps, hiccuped, and felt that last night's accumulated food and the blocks in the chest had all dissipated, and the whole person was light and healthy. The grandmothers also laughed from ear to ear, because the old lady's breath could not be played for a day and a night, but she was so worried that she panicked. Seven Gardens is really the right place for this trip, Grandma Seven has good skills!
He Angelica sent the old lady to the door with a smile, bent his knees and bowed, and said in a manly voice: "The road is slippery when it's dark, and grandmother walks slowly." And watched them depart.
Turning back into the room, Meng Xuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, elegantly using a fragrant tea, looking at it from the painted porcelain cover.
"Tell me, lady, are you going to sleep on the inside or outside of the curtain?"
