Mother's elegant and soft voice is no longer as pleasant as in the past, Meng Xuan's face was shocked and pale for a while, and intuitively rejected his mother's "proposal", after taking a deep breath, he said coldly: "I don't marry the county lord of Xiancao, please let my mother quit this family business, and let the lord of Xiancao find another son-in-law." ”

"Divorce?!" Mrs. Su's face waved, frowned twice, and slowly spit out, "There has never been a reason to withdraw from marriage after marrying the royal family, that Xiancao County Lord Li Xianqian is seventeen years old, I personally went to the eldest princess's mansion to meet her, leaving aside her identity, it is also a rare appearance of one in a hundred, and a temperament of one in a thousand, otherwise I would not have hastily decided on this family matter." You didn't even listen to my words, and you vetoed them when you opened your mouth, who gave you such confidence? ”

Meng Xuan continued to say coldly: "No matter how good she is, no matter how good she is, how much she agrees with her mother, I still have ten brothers there, let them marry!" It doesn't matter if you pick one out of a hundred, or one out of a thousand, the son's own wife who picks one out of ten thousand people has already been chosen, and she will not marry in this life, and only marry her. ”

Mrs. Su was angry and funny when she heard it, and sneered: "How old are you who still say such childish things, and I thought that you were the most worrying among my sons, but now listening to your words, I am afraid that you will worry me the most in the future." Saying that, he slowed down his tone and persuaded softly, "Li Xianqian is not worse than Zhu Qingning of the Yan Wang family, if you marry once, you can get two county lords as wives, isn't it a beautiful thing and a good story?" ”

Aunt Hong, who was seated on the side, also helped persuade: "It's not good, and Mrs. won't leave it to the seventh master." Mrs. also saw three of them before, all of them were top-notch girls in their respective families, and there was one of the Wang family's, who looked like a snow ball piled up, and the concubine liked it when she saw it. But then the family affairs were almost agreed, and the bad things came one after another, first the war, and then the family sent a message from Yangzhou to say that the ninth master and a few of them were lost, and the lady was so anxious that she was like something. It's easy to go home safely, and then I do a few family things. ”

"How many happy events?" Meng Xuanhu asked suspiciously, "Who else besides me and Qing'er?" ”

Aunt Hong said with a smile: "Wang Wenli of the Wang family said that the second master should be a side room; Liu Zhi of the Liu family said that he would be the main room for the fourth master; The Zhou family is still young, and it is decided to be the main room for the fifth master. The best immortal grass county lord is given to you as the seventh master. "Aunt Hong is the concubine of the old man Meng Shan, gave birth to the eldest daughter Meng Jing, and raised Meng Shan's fourth son Meng Zao for a few years, so she has a lot of status in the family. The biggest secret of her success is to follow Mrs. Su's words, and this shun has been smooth for twenty years.

After hearing this, Meng Xuan "pounced" and knelt down to the throne, and said: "Mother, I will never marry that Li Xianqian, you will soon quit this family, or I will go to the eldest princess's mansion to make amends and withdraw from the family." In short, the child will never marry any woman other than Qing'er, mother, you have always loved me, this time you will love me more! ”

Mrs. Su frowned and said: "Don't be tough, even if you retreat this time, next time there will be others, I heard Ying'er say that Zhu Qingning is still a child at all, and his body is thin, and he may not be able to give birth in another three years." Li Xianqian, who your mother picked for you, has a face like a silver basin and a thick body, and she can have children in the first year of marriage. You only married that Zhu Qingning as the main house, and you won't even have a sister-in-law in the future, what's the matter! "The Meng family regards the heirs as the foundation of the family, and gradually implements it into everyone's words, deeds and concepts.

Meng Xuan turned his head suddenly, looked at Meng Ying on the left side of the lower head, and asked with a fiery temperament, "Why are you demolishing my platform?" I have not offended you! ”

Meng Ying was tasting a cup of Junshan Silver Needle, put down the teacup unhurriedly, and blinked innocently: "I'm just telling the truth, and Mama Zhang asked it as a homely chatter, and I didn't keep an eye on her for a while that she was a 'secret agent' sent by her mother." That girl was indeed too thin. ”

Meng Xuan looked back at Mama Zhang who was standing behind Aunt Hong, who laughed awkwardly, Meng Xuan said angrily: "Brother he said nonsense, Xiangshi is a blessed person who has taken advantage of Qing'er, and he will give birth to ten sons in the future!" ”

Of course, Mama Zhang didn't want to offend the Seventh Prince, and she had explored the shortcomings of the Qingning County Lord in order to flatter Mrs. Su, but now of course she had to make up for it and flatter her from the Seventh Prince. So she smiled and said, "Haha, of course Xiangshi's vision is much more accurate than ours, ahhahaha...... "Then? And then it's gone.

Meng Xuan glared angrily, and without waiting to scream, he got up from the ground and walked out without saying a word. Mrs. Su hurriedly stopped him, asked where to go, and replied that she would go to the princess's mansion to withdraw from her relatives, and immediately made Mrs. Su angry, and scolded "Nonsense, stop him!" ”

So, Meng Si Meng Zao, Meng Wu Meng Chen, Meng Liu Meng Bing, Meng Ba Meng Yang and several other people surrounded and symbolically stopped them, although it was for show, but there were many people blocking the door, Meng Xuan couldn't go out, and said angrily at Meng Ying: "If you don't help me, don't think I'll help you next time, that woman is her friend, you and I will be both prosperous and lossy!" ”

Others don't understand this, but Meng Ying understands it deeply, Meng Xuan is talking about Liao Qing'er. Speaking of her, Meng Ying hesitated a little, when she was wandering outside, she really missed her the most; But now that I'm back home, I have a warm home, looking at the five beautiful flowers in the third room, and I feel that Liao Qing'er is just like this, and I don't miss her much, not to mention that she never gives him a good face. After this belly article, Meng Ying finally opened her mouth to help Meng Xuan say good things: "Mother, that Miss Zhu's tea-making skills are first-class, and she can brew Longjing out of the taste of Lu'an, Lu'an out of the taste of clouds, and then soak the clouds out of the taste of silver needles, which is a must." ”

Mrs. Su is good at tea ceremony, Meng Ying can be regarded as prescribing the right medicine, but the "good words" he said are nondescript, Longjing should have the taste of Longjing, and the silver needle is the taste of the silver needle.

Mrs. Su shook her head and vetoed: "No matter how good Zhu Qingning's tea art is, it is not conducive to birth and rearing, and it is not desirable to marry, and the matter of heirs is the top priority." Xuan'er, you have been fighting all year round, which worries me the most, so this time when I return to Beijing, I have to marry you a good family seriously, learn from your father, and start branching out once. Regardless of the two wives of the county lord of Qingning and the county lord of Xiancao, or the three concubines of Zixiao, it is best to have something to gain. ”

In other words, it is to let Meng Xuan marry a few more, first cast a large area of nets, and then focus on fishing, and strive to net a few more fish. Moreover, Mrs. Su's words are not untargeted, when she married into the Meng family, she also arranged it for her husband in this way. As soon as the main wife entered, the noble concubine and the beautiful concubine accepted eight of them to Meng Shan in one go, all of them were blessed with round cheeks and broad waists, not useless beauties who couldn't be eaten.

Ready-made teenagers such as Meng Zao and Meng Chen are the most powerful "corroboration" - from Meng San Meng Ying to Meng Ba Meng Yang, the age difference between these six sons is no more than twelve months, which means that their father Meng Shan sows a fish fry every two months, and after ten months, he harvests a son every two months on average. Contrary to the situation that the Feng master of the Yangzhou Feng family gave birth to nearly twenty daughters before he got one Fengyang, the Meng family maintained the trend of giving birth to sons until Xiaoba was born.

This also confirms Mrs. Su's virtuousness from the side, after all, when an ordinary woman heard that she was pregnant, her husband went to give birth to a child with other concubines, or even a wild woman outside the house who had no official history, who would not be angry when she heard it? But Mrs. Su was not only not angry, but also raised these six sons who were almost the same age in one go, in addition to Meng San, Meng Ying and Meng Qi Meng Xuan are descendants, Meng Si Meng Zao, Meng Liu, Meng Bing, and Meng Ba Meng Yang are all concubines born to the beautiful concubines selected by Mrs. Su for her husband. The most special is Meng Wu Meng Chen, when he was two years old, the old man Meng Shan came back from the head of the house, and simply explained, "This is my son, younger than Zao'er, older than Bing'er, his mother is dead", and he was thrown to Mrs. Su to deal with.

Mrs. Su is worthy of being a heroine among women, Jiangbei Shuangshu, or a good self-cultivation with a smile, just like an old hen with infinite wings, the chicks hatched from the eggs in other chicken nests are also collected under the wings for "love education". Although the process of education, except for a few people in the Meng family, most people do not know, but the result of education is that this foreign chick has grown from a thin and wilted hairy to a little rooster with bright feathers.

So, the peach and plum do not speak, and the next is its own, although Mrs. Su does not advertise herself as "virtuous", and her style is also big. If Duan Xiaolou's mother is a "mainstream good wife", a husband and children all her life, and abides by women's morals, Mrs. Su, who advocates pleasure and loves piano, chess, poetry, wine and tea opera, should be regarded as "non-mainstream", but outsiders look at it from their point of view, the eleven sons and three daughters of the Meng family, the male is handsome with red lips and white teeth, tall and silent, and the female is pretty with pink cheeks, petite and lively. Outsiders who don't really give a thumbs up: What a good wife!

People who know the inside affairs of the Meng family for decades will also compare Mrs. Su with the former wife of the Marquis of Baoding and the jealous woman Hehe, so they sighed again, the difference is not ordinary!

And Baoding Hou also benefited from this, after many years, more than ten sons grew up together, any one to bring out, and other more than 20 princes and grandsons of a comparison, are Luan Feng to the house sparrow, Junshan silver needle to the roadside leaves. Meng Shan was happy and proud, but also grateful for Mrs. Su's kindness, plus the grace of his acquaintance and life-saving grace after his amnesia on the battlefield, so this killer who is known as "even the Son of Heaven is not afraid" is a very strict wife, and Mrs. Su's words are sometimes more effective than the emperor's holy decree.

Therefore, Meng Xuan, who is the first beloved son of Mrs. Su, if she marries only a thin and weak little hen who can only be panned after three years, then Mrs. Su will not follow. After Qingning, the county lord of Qingning, who rescued the three sons of the Meng family, Mrs. Su was still very grateful to her in her private heart, but the public and the private were private, and the two sides could not be messed up, especially in important "official affairs".

Therefore, Mrs. Su kindly comforted her restless son and persuaded softly: "It's not that you won't be allowed to marry Zhu Qingning, what's wrong with marrying a few more?" Zhu Qingning didn't say no, didn't let Li Xianqian enter the door, you reacted so violently first, so that people who didn't know it thought that she was not good, not virtuous enough, and a woman who was not allowed to be people. ”

"I don't care," Meng Xuan stiffened his neck and roared in a low voice, "If my mother refuses to accommodate this matter, I, I will go to the county lord's mansion to get married." The county lord's mansion is on East Street, and I know the path, so I'll go there tonight. ”
