Chapter 584: A Good Plan for the Brothers
"Ho!" Mrs. Su smiled angrily and said, "Go to the county lord's mansion to join the family? Okay, I'll just take one less of you, and I'll have one less breath in the future. Tonight? Okay, let the steward reduce a pair of happy events, and prepare a bag for you to use on the road. ”
"Thank you mother for making it happen," Meng Xuan said, "You should take care of your health after I leave, and the children will often come back to see you and your father." ”
Meng Ying was furious when she saw it, so she changed from a lazy sitting posture to a soft standing posture, stood between her mother and younger brother, and persuaded her mother first: "Mother is angry, Xiao Qi is naturally more stupid than others, and Zhu Qingning is the first woman who makes him tempted, it is understandable that he is awkward once or twice, and he is not in a hurry to marry a wife and give birth to a son-in-law, let him and Zhu Qingning be hot for two days first." He had times when it got cold. Then he whispered to persuade his younger brother, "You are stupid, how can those things be said in public, isn't it that the more you say it, the more stiff it becomes!" Quickly make amends to your mother, and go back and think again. ”
"Hmph." Meng Xuan puffed out his nostrils and protested wordlessly. Now he is nearly a head taller than Meng Ying, but he is more like a brother, but his expression is very childish.
Meng Ying lowered her voice again and said, "If you want to marry that Li Xianqian, you can give birth in a hundred ways, but you chose the stupidest one." He Angelica has not yet entered the door, you attract hatred to her, are you such a husband, the mother is still very grateful to her in her heart. It's easy to move out and hard to move back, can you take her to live outside for the rest of your life? When she comes back, will her mother take a good look at He Angelica who abducted her son? ”
Meng Xuan's straight eyes had a little sense of activism, and his eyes waved left and right, and he quietly asked, "Then, brother, do you have a way?" Don't lie to me. ”
"Why are you lying to you," Meng Ying was honest and loyal all over her face, and quietly proposed, "You can't open the gap here, find a way from her, Li Xianqian, the county lord, beauty, lives in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and there are articles to do in these three points alone." It's really not good, let the fourth brother help you, let him go and tell his mother that he fell in love with the county lord at first sight. He is the most honest, and his mother must believe what he says. ”
Meng Xuan glanced at the fourth brother Meng Zao, who was dressed as a scholar and held a book in his right hand behind his back, guessing that he must have been dragged out of the study or Zhongshu Province to fill the number. I felt that the third brother's suggestion was feasible, so I whispered, "What now?" Now that I'm not leaving, my mother still asked me to marry the lord of Xiancao, and the matter was tied to death. ”
"Then deal with it first, but you have to let He Angelica enter in the name of a wife, and then delay the matter of marrying a wife and taking a concubine for a month." In front of everyone's eyes, Meng Ying didn't move when he spoke, only to see that his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were vivid and lively, revealing a taste of ill will. He explained: "I have never recognized 'flat wife' in the law, the one who enters the door first is the main wife, and the one who enters the door again, even if the marriage book says 'flat wife', the law and genealogy are still 'side wives', and there is a saying that 'either wife is a concubine', then Li Xianqian can only be a little wife......
"You don't understand what I mean," Meng Xuan cut off his words and said firmly, "I won't marry Li Xianqian, I won't marry." ”
"I know, I know, the great love saint! Can you let me finish my sentence? Meng Ying waved the small bamboo fan and shook it twice, and then said, "I heard in the past that Li Xianqian is a proud person, otherwise how could she be seventeen years old and still in the boudoir, since your position as a wife is occupied, then of course she will not marry you again." Even if he Li family loves our Meng family for ten minutes, you are not the first choice. At that time, let He Angelica show his hands to coax his mother, drag it for half a year, and then conceive a child, then the mother's thunder and lightning eyes will naturally be removed from your seventh room. ”
Meng Xuan relaxed after hearing this, thought about it and asked, "What about you?" Aren't you afraid that after I 'lose', you will become the first choice? Since Li Xianqian is proud, doesn't she pick Lang Jun to look at her concubine, the fourth brother may not be qualified. ”
Meng Ying shook the small bamboo fan to send the wind, shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but it really can't be done, I'll do it for you." ”
"Brother......" Meng Xuan was both moved and guilty.
Meng Ying added: "If you marry the county lord, I will marry the county lord, so that I can be consistent with you and surpass you in the future." ”
"Brother......" Meng Xuan was still very moved.
"Brother Xuan......" Meng Ying was also slightly moved, "You don't have to be like this, this is what I should do." ”
Meng Xuan put her arm on Meng Ying's shoulder, and continued to say with a touched expression: "My mother is still angry, and I am angry with her, so I don't dare to persuade deeply." Brother, you are so good, help me persuade my mother to go. ”
Meng Ying continued her expression of emotion, nodded and said, "Okay, this is what I should do." As he spoke, he really went to the top to act as a guard to clean up the battlefield. After taking two steps, there was a low laugh behind him, Meng Ying turned around angrily and shouted: "I volunteered to be a righteous man, and you still laughed at me!" ”
Meng Xuan innocently pointed at Meng Chen beside him, blinked and smiled: "It's the fifth brother who laughed, you look for him." ”
Aunt Hong in the circle chair next to the upper seat saw that Meng Xuan was stopped and didn't leave, and the brothers also talked and laughed, so she also raised her voice and smiled: "Okay, okay, that's good, the day after tomorrow, the second master, the fourth master and the seventh master's happy event will be held, it is the time when you should be happy, how can there be a happy event that you don't do it and provoke yourself first, hehe, that's good." ”
※※※
It was night, the moon was like a hook, the sky was full of stars, He Angelica sat on the stone steps under the corridor, and by the soft orange light reflected in the lantern, he squirmed to arrange the medicinal herbs.
These are all brought to Luzhou from the south, and then piled up the medicines brought back, there are more than a dozen catties, including ginseng, bezoar, borneol, musk and other precious medicinal materials, because she has a headache all the way to take medicine, so these packets of medicine have been placed under the seat of the carriage. After dinner, she rummaged through these medicine bags, and found that the little girls who decocted the medicine were wrapped in random hands, and confused all the medicinal materials with the labels on the paper packages, seven or eight times out of ten were wrong, and some of the labels were also polished, so she sorted them out casually.
After meeting his mother at noon, and after listening to his mother's twists and turns, they "a family of three" plus a young child, and the four of them had a reunion dinner together. Because Nie Chun played the role of "biological father", and He Angelica was originally surnamed "He", in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, his identity document was renamed "He Cun". So after He Jingxian and He Fu, Luo Chuanxiong, who was renamed "Blue Moon Season", married the third man surnamed He, and finally married the right person.
Qing'er quietly sighed after the meal, the first He Jing was chosen by her father so it was wrong, the second He Fu was picked by her mother so it was wrong, and the third was picked by herself so it was sweet and affectionate, it can be seen that picking a husband must not be fake!
Qing'er said after dinner that she was going to go shopping on the street, He Angelica guessed that she might want to go back home quietly, take a look at her father and mother in the dark and come back - go home directly and be entangled by the gentle silk of her mother, and it will be difficult to go out again - so she asked Wang Bao to accompany her, and heard Meng Xuan say that there have been one or two disappearances in the capital recently.
He Angelica's subordinates skillfully cultivated medicinal materials, but their minds had already drifted far away. Not far from this mansion, a few streets and squares, there is a splendid place called "Imperial City", which was once her home, and a group of relatives from her previous life lived. These days, she can think of more and more things, sometimes she can think of the grass and trees in a corner where she often plays in the imperial city, and sometimes, there are real human faces flashing in front of her eyes......
"Yiyi, you are the bride to be married, don't do these jobs, how good is it when you are tired, you will be on the sedan chair the day after tomorrow." A shallow, soft voice sounded behind her, it was her mother's voice. Mother said: "There is a pharmacy at the door of the house, call a guy to come over tomorrow, and it will be done in half a day." ”
He Angelica looked back with a smile, looked at his mother's plump and peaceful face, and said softly: "This job is not tiring, I am used to doing it, and it is very easy to do, just like playing." Qing'er is not here, and there are no books to read, so I am free and bored. ”
She reclined on the carved lacquer railing of the stone steps, and in front of her were packets of spread herbs, so her mother sat down against her back, and crossed her shoulders to see her little plain white hands flying up and down among the gray, black, yellow, and white herbs, and quickly tossing the different herbs onto a few spread out palm paulownia papers farther away, more easily than the most seasoned drugstore fellow did.
The Lan family, that is, the former Luo family, she also grew up smelling and touching medicinal materials, and in Sanqingtang and Luojia Pharmacy, she has seen countless people dispensing and grinding medicines, but she has never seen a person who can be so skilled as He Angelica. Even if he is an old man for decades, he can't throw it out at will without looking at it at all, and when he touches the shape and touch of the medicinal herb with his hand, he will throw it out dozens or hundreds of times in an instant, from beginning to end, without missing even once.
After watching silently for a while, Lan began to wipe his tears: "Girl, how long do you have to practice to become like this?" Did anyone force you to do these things before? It's all your mother who hurt you, and your mother's own life is not good, and she has been burdened with how many grievances you have suffered. You've endured hardships all these years......" she said and cried silently.
Not only is it so simple to be wronged, not only has she endured hardships over the years, why Angelica because her mother can't leave the Luo family, she was also kidnapped by the spirit of the Luo family, and she was tired and lost her life! However, all these old things were washed away by the "Meng Po Soup", and the sadness and resentment she once had in her heart were all washed away by the bowl of bitter and sweet medicinal soup.
So now she is just dispensing more than medicine, with a quiet smile, softly comforting her mother: "Don't mention these, I didn't have the Ruyi I have in the past, but my daughter doesn't remember those things in the past." When I lived in the countryside, I was just a little tired, but I practiced a good physique, and later I worshipped a master to learn martial arts. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and now in troubled times, there is a body of martial arts, and people have more confidence. ”
"You still practice martial arts?" Lan was surprised.
"Yes," He Angelica nodded, "If I hadn't sweated on the ground, I wouldn't have been able to survive those trivial and grinding basic skills when I practiced martial arts." Later, she was picked up by her mother to live, and her daughter was very happy in her heart, but He Fu's family was not good, and now karma should be on his family. Later, he lived in Luo's house...... I didn't suffer much, the old lady still loved me, and with the help of my uncle and uncle, how could I suffer, so my mother didn't have to feel guilty for me. How good we are now, everything has changed for the better, and the past will not be mentioned. ”
Her consolation was all from the heart, not perfunctory words, Lan Shi originally nodded again and again, tearfully relieved, but immediately crossed He Angelica's slender shoulders, I don't know what I saw, suddenly "wow" and cried loudly, coldly startled He Angelica, turned around and asked: "What's wrong, what's wrong, mother?" ”
