Although he didn't have the habit of forcing others to make things difficult for him, any man would be upset if he was disliked in this way, not to mention that her reasons made no sense at all.

At certain times, it is even considered elegant for a man to look for flowers and beauties, but it is her turn to dislike them.

"Hongtao is not here, so you can sleep on the couch outside and wait on me until I let you out. Is that okay?"

The corners of Meng Liu's mouth drooped again. Alas, he took a step back because he couldn't be too aggressive.

"Row."

After saying that, she stood up and took out a quilt from the cabinet, spread it on the imperial concubine's couch, took off her shoes and got on the couch in one go.

Xing Jingyao: "..."

You know how to make your own bed, but the master's bed hasn't been made yet.

He suppressed the rising and rising anger in his chest and simply did his own thing in the army. He lifted up the quilt and said nothing more.

Xing Jingyao finally understood that this maid was a thorn in the side, perhaps because she did not come to Xing Mansion voluntarily, so everything she did was superficial.

In Hongtiao's absence, Meng Liu took charge of all Xing Jingyao's personal affairs. He was not someone who liked to be waited on, so Meng Liu only needed assistance, that is, helping him carry his robe when he was dressing, and holding the copper basin when he was washing.

But there's one thing Xing Jingyao can't do himself, and that's getting his hair straight.

Meng Liu personally helped him with his hair. He was not very skillful the first time and even tore off a few strands. Fortunately, Xing Jingyao did not criticize him harshly.

"Pass the meal around."

Meng Liu hurriedly walked out and called out. After a while, the dishes were served. She lowered her eyebrows and stood aside to serve him.

Xing Jingyao had been unresponsive since he got up. After one night, the maid slept a lot. At least she looked like a maid, and he was in a good mood. After finishing it in a few quick mouthfuls, Meng Liu handed over the brocade handkerchief in time.

After wiping his mouth, he pointed to a few unused dishes on the table: "It's for you."

After saying that, he strode away and went to the old lady's Yansongyuan.

Naturally, what the master ate was different from what the servants ate. The dishes he was referring to were steamed dumplings, green bamboo shoot pickles, shark fin soup and tofu soup.

Meng Liu only had one big steamed bun for breakfast on weekdays, and he had never had such a rich breakfast. She didn't mind if he ate the leftovers. After all, he didn't touch it. He picked up the chopsticks and finished eating in a few times before asking the maid to come in and clean it up.

On a spring day, she directed her servants to take out the books that had been damp in winter and dry them. She also had to put a new brocade quilt on Xing Jingyao. Not long after this guy came back, he had to make new clothes, which was quite busy.

"How come Yao'er has time to come here today? Come on, serve some of uncle's favorite dishes." Naturally, the old lady didn't get up as early as the young man. She had just handed over the meal when Xing Jingyao arrived.

"Grandma, don't bother. My grandson has already eaten." He explained with a smile.

I personally cleaned my hands and prepared the dishes for the old lady. There is no rule in the Xing family about eating or sleeping. The old lady was so happy during the meal that she even used an extra bowl of soup.

Mother Wang smiled and said, "The old lady's appetite has improved since the uncle came."

"Then my grandson must come here every day from now on." Xing Jingyao heard Xian's elegance.

The old lady glanced at Mother Wang angrily and said, "You guys are busy outside. I don't need you to worry about me here. If you have time, you should marry me a granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible. I can take a look while I'm healthy." Great-grandson!”

Xing Jingyao was used to the old lady's inconsistency, so when he thought of agreeing to Tuantuan, he started to mention it.

"The maid my grandmother gave me as a gift is clumsy. I'd better send her out of the house."

The old lady was stunned for a moment: "But she didn't serve her wholeheartedly?"

"Not really." Xing Jingyao smiled, "It's just that the girl is still young, so there is bound to be something inappropriate about her."

Old Mrs.

"My grandson will only be staying in Beijing for two months this time. How can I have time to train her? There are so many maids, just change them if you don't feel comfortable." Xing Jingyao continued without leaving any trace.

"Yao'er really doesn't know what grandma's intention was in sending her to you?" the old lady lowered her eyelids.

"Grandma cares about everything about her grandson, which is unfilial to her grandson..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy beside Mr. Xing hurriedly came to report outside.

"Madam, sir, Mrs. Xing has passed away!" The young man knelt down with tears streaming down his face.

The old lady seemed not to hear clearly: "What did you say?!"

"The old man is dead!"

This bad news made the old lady faint. Xing Jingyao quickly asked Mrs. Wang to ask the doctor to see her, and then hurried to the front yard. It was not until Xu that she went back to the yard to change clothes.

Cuiming has hung mourning flags in Chunhui Garden and replaced all the red lanterns with white ones. Meng Liu also ordered the maids to hurry up and make mourning clothes, and everyone will be in plain clothes.

His face was full of exhaustion, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

When a close relative passed away, Meng Liu did not find fault at this time and ordered his mother-in-law to serve a bowl of clear soup noodles.

"No need, I can't eat."

"Use it as much as possible. After that, the wake will take seven days. I'm afraid there will be many officials and family members coming to express their condolences tomorrow. I haven't come back from Shuzhou yet. I, you are now the backbone of the entire Xing Mansion, so you can Stay tight and don’t fall down.”

Hearing this, Xing Jingyao glanced at her and ate the noodles in a few mouthfuls without resisting.

"I won't be back for the next few days. You guys stay in the yard and don't go out."

"Yes."

Xing Jingyao has been busy for more than half a month. The old lady has collapsed, his mother has a weak temper, and the second aunt is not a person who can take care of things. After calculation, there is no one in the house who can take charge of the affairs.

My father only came back on the fifth day. For such a long time, he was responsible for everything inside and outside.

Xing Jingyao was used as one person in two, and he lost a lot of weight by the end of the funeral.

Theoretically speaking, after the death of an elder in the family, the younger members of the family will be deprived of Dingyou for three years. The Empress Li Fei fainted from crying in the palace. The Holy Spirit was grateful for Mr. Xing's contribution to the court, so he reduced it to three months at his discretion.

Another imperial edict was issued, naming Xing Jingyao as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and took office three months later.

A group of watching old foxes were moved when they saw that Mr. Xing passed away, that Xing Mansion was not injured, that the holy family was still strong, and that Xing Jingyao had not yet married a wife.

All kinds of invitations came to his door, asking about his marriage openly and secretly.

Although you cannot get married before the period of filial piety has passed, you can make a marriage arrangement first and get married after the three-year period of filial piety.

At the age of twenty-five, Xing Jingyao became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the commander of the capital. He had no wives, concubines and heirs. It was really an excellent marriage.

After Mr. Xing left, the old lady's health plummeted, so she forced herself to marry Xing Jingyao, the direct granddaughter of the Taiyuan Hospital, and they would get married as soon as the filial period came.

Such a person would never have been able to be his first wife before.
