Chapter 51 Temperature changes
Cai’s mother couldn’t stand it anymore: “Madam, you are actually just the person next to the second young master.”
A concubine, who is also the second wife, picks the third young master. None of the people in the young master's courtyard were picked over and over again by his wife. She was so meticulous at the moment, and she really paid too much attention to them.
Why couldn't Mrs. Shang understand what Mama Cai meant: "If it were Ji Geer before, why would I need to worry about this? Speaking of which, Ji Geer was raised by his late brother-in-law before. A few years ago, when Yaoyao was little and Gui was little, they were brothers and sisters after all. Maybe they still remember . Besides, Yaoyao is the person that His Highness cares about."
"There is no need to be so anxious, isn't the Second Young Master still at Zhuangzi?" Mother Cai reminded, "It's already night. Come on, madam, you haven’t had dinner yet.”
"Even my mother-in-law went beyond my brother-in-law's hands. First, she ordered Shangchun to go to Shanfangyuan to inform my brother-in-law that Brother Ji was moving back to Meng's house. Shangchun took several maids to the front yard of Senwanyuan to make arrangements in person. After I left, I asked Mother Liu to come and tell me how to choose the people in Ji Geer's courtyard. Why did my mother-in-law pay so much attention to her? The government knows it well. So, as the eldest aunt, I have to pay more attention to it." After finishing the call, Shang shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry yet. Let the rest of the people come in, and I'll make some inquiries. "
Mama Cai didn't try to persuade her anymore. She knew that her wife was right. The current eldest lady should be the apple of the Meng family's eye.
Then he went to the corridor outside the door and called all the waiting Meng family children into the council hall.
Zehuiyuan took Meng Renji seriously because of the Shang family. When Meng Zhidu returned home from the tribal office, the lights were still bright. Meng Zhidu was surprised. When he asked, he found out that the Shang family was still in the council hall. There were already batch after batch of servants chosen to serve around Meng Renji.
Thanks to the Meng family's great business, the family has many children, and there are many servants bought from outside, otherwise it would not be enough for the Shang family to visit them several times.
Meng Zhidu soon found out why the Shang family was like this, and he became more and more puzzled. He didn't understand why Mrs. Meng suddenly thought of the eldest son of the second concubine and arranged it with such importance.
But all in all, regarding the affairs of the inner house, even though Meng Renji was the second son of the Meng family, he was left in Zhuangzi for ten years and was raised to waste. His mother paid attention to it, but he couldn't.
Those who had the same idea were Meng Tianguan who returned home early.
Just a grandson.
He has four grandchildren, three direct children and one concubine.
The eldest grandson is the most promising, the third grandson is still studying, and the younger grandson is still young. The second grandson has been living in Zhuangzi for many years and is the son of a foreigner who was brought back from outside in the early years of the second son. Although he has recognized his ancestors and returned home, Zong, after all, had a not-so-glamorous background. In the past, he had not stopped his second son from sending his second grandson to Zhuangzi to be raised because of his step-daughter-in-law's entry into the family. So even now, he would not interfere too much.
If the old wife wants to take care of it, then she can take care of it, as long as there are many people in the house.
As for Meng Zhinian, it seemed as if he had long forgotten that Meng Renji was the eldest son. He heard Wu complain a few words and scolded Huai, saying that Mrs. Meng had crossed her and taken Meng Renji back to the house without permission. Even Meng Renji’s The yard was picked out, and Mr. Shang was asked to arrange the manpower. She was not allowed to get involved in the slightest. It was clear that he did not take her as the wife of the second wife in his eyes.
After hearing this, Meng Zhinian said: "It's a good thing for my mother to take Ji Ge'er back. It's even better to personally choose Senwanyuan for Ji Ge'er. Let my sister-in-law choose the people. Since my sister-in-law is the mistress of the Meng family, what's wrong with this?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ren Wu shouted behind him and ignored him.
He felt a headache. He had just been humiliated outside. When he came back, he still had to listen to these unimportant chatter. It was better for Aunt Jiang. Every time he went there, she was as tender as water and never talked too much. . Meng Zhinian fell into a gentle place, while Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu gathered in the upper room after learning that Meng Shisan had gone out and did something important.
Compared with the head-on confrontation with Lu Luo, the side kick to Dong Linglong seemed like a trivial matter. The fight between Meng Meili and Dong Linglong was also a matter of Meng Shi San was completely ignored in the big scene of the fight between Quexianlou and Lu Luo.
This made Meng Meili secretly make a fool of a noble girl in public at the peach blossom banquet, and the insidious thing she tried so hard to cover up the fight between her and Dong Linglong seemed too much. Something is better than nothing.
For this reason, she frowned and thought for a long time in Wanfei Courtyard, and she couldn't figure out why Lu Luo let Meng Liangchen go and didn't kick Meng Liangchen who dared to shout with him.
Ji Xiang saw this and said: "Miss, the eldest lady is really what my wife said now. She is really not easy to mess with."
"You need to say it!" Meng Meimei glared at Jixiang, then turned to Ruyi and said, "Go and ask around again to see if Meng Liangchen is I’m really tired and I’m resting, but I still got kicked and now I’m pretending to sleep to hide my ugly face.”
She really doesn’t believe that the bully Lu Luo can really let Meng Liangchen ride on his head, and he’s not like before. He kicked the official's daughter in front, completely ruining the official's daughter's face and the rest of her life.
“Nuo.” Ever since Baozhu retaliated and beat Jixiang hard, Ruyi was responsible for things like asking about Meng Shisan’s situation.
Meng Renji was taken back to live in the Meng Mansion. This matter did not attract the attention of Meng Tianguan Meng Zhidu. At first, they thought it would attract the attention of Mrs. Meng. It was probably because the woman was soft-hearted, and she was even more kind-hearted as she got older. , only then did I think of taking my second grandson back to me.
Who knew that when Mrs. Jing Meng learned that Meng Zhidu had returned home, she had her eldest son called into Changchun Courtyard. After the father and son sat down together, she could explain why Meng Renji should be taken back. As soon as the antecedents in the mansion were mentioned, they fell silent.
Father and son have been in the officialdom for many years. Even though they hold high positions and are outsiders of the East Palace, as long as Li Shou does not ascend the throne, the East Palace will not be stable, and the Meng family will not be stable either.
They are in a high and powerful position, but they are also surrounded by enemies. If they make a wrong step, they will make a wrong step, and it is not impossible that the Meng family will be overthrown overnight.
“This eldest niece has been staying at home for the past fifteen years, lingering on the bedside. This year she is growing up and she should be more sensible, but why does her temperament suddenly change?” Meng Zhidu asked puzzledly, “Her skills , where did that courage come from?”
Old Mrs. Meng said sternly: "None of us have really cared about how Yaoyao lived in the first fifteen years? Since we have never cared, how can we understand Yaoyao's temperament? To say that her temperament has changed drastically, that's your responsibility as an uncle. Not fulfilling your responsibilities!”
This is the mistake of the matron of the family.
"It's my son's fault." Meng Zhidu heard the dissatisfaction in his words and quickly obeyed and accepted the blame.
Old Mrs. Meng snorted: "If Yaoyao hadn't figured it out on her own, stepped out of the gate of Taichen Courtyard, resisted Wu's harshness, and Jing Jie'er's bullying, Yaoyao might have been killed. I can't survive the cold!"
After scolding the eldest son and secretly blaming the eldest daughter-in-law, she also reflected on herself: "Your father and I also have responsibilities that we cannot shirk away from."
