It snowed last night, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw snow outside.

Meng Jinyao had breakfast, wrapped herself up tightly, and went to Shou'an Hall to pay her respects to Mrs. Gu.

Even though Meng Jinyao's clothes were scented and she wore a sachet, she still had to take a medicinal bath while taking the medicine, and the smell of medicine couldn't be removed from her body. As she got closer, she could smell a faint smell of medicine. So Ms. Zhang, who was sitting next to her, smelled it.

Madam Zhang asked with concern: "Third brother and sister, you seem to smell of medicine. Are you sick?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter-in-law with concern in her eyes.

Naturally, Meng Jinyao would not reveal the actual situation, and responded evasively: "No, I'm just a little short of energy and blood, and I'm afraid of the cold. I took a medicinal bath, so I have a medicinal smell."

Mrs. Zhang showed a look of understanding: "I see, no wonder my third brother and sister don't look sick."

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "It's just a small problem that makes my sister-in-law worried. It doesn't matter."

Mrs. Gu also felt relieved, but still warned: "Insufficient Qi and blood is not a big problem, but you should not be careless. You must take good care of your body. If you are short of Qi and blood, you will be prone to fatigue, lack of energy, chills and other problems. In addition, there are also Aging easily and causing gray hair early.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was surprised: "Mother, can this still lead to premature aging?"

Mrs. Gu glanced at several daughters-in-law, and based on the experience of those who have been there, she said kindly: "This is the case, so women who love beauty should pay more attention to this problem and take care of their appearance. Sometimes, no matter how much beauty cream you apply, it is not as good as internal care. Qi and blood, when you reach a certain age, people with good qi and blood will be much younger than their peers."

Meng Jinyao pursed her lips. It didn't matter if the medicine was bitter or not, and it didn't matter if it smelled bad, but she couldn't age prematurely. She couldn't be younger than her husband and look older than him in the future, right? Medicine must be taken on time.

Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Chen subconsciously touched their faces. At their age, they are anxious. They are afraid of getting old, and they are even more afraid of appearing older than their peers. They have made great efforts to maintain their appearance. In the circle of ladies, At gatherings, we usually compete to see who looks younger, who has better-looking clothes and jewelry, and who wants to look the oldest?

Seeing that several of her daughters-in-law seemed worried about their appearance, Mrs. Gu smiled and shook her head. All of her daughters-in-law were beautiful. Although the elder two were in their thirties, they did not look old, and A-Yao was even more so. He doesn't look old, he is only sixteen years old and still young.

After a while, Mrs. Gu asked: "By the way, my wife, I heard that Xiuyuan's wife seems to be ill. Is it serious?"

Mrs. Zhang replied: "Don't worry, mother, Xiuyuan's daughter-in-law is just infected with wind and cold. The fetus is stable and not affected."

Mrs. Gu nodded gently and said: "Pregnant women are most afraid of getting sick and inducing fetal contractions. Drinking too much medicine during pregnancy is not good for the child. If they add more silver frost charcoal to their yard, they can't get sick again. "

Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Gu asked her daughters-in-law again: "How are Xiuyuan and his brothers doing lately? Is studying useful?"

Zhang and Yourong Yan said: "Mom, Xiuyuan has worked harder than before since he won the exam. If he keeps working hard with this hard work for another three years, I guess he can get a place in the examination."

Chen said: "Xiu Hong's self-consciousness is quite good. When he has questions, he often consults his third uncle to prepare for next year's examination."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was very satisfied. Seeing that her daughter-in-law had not yet spoken, she asked again: "How about Xiu Ming?"

Meng Jinyao no longer liked Gu Xiuming, a cheap son, and she only said good things in front of others: "Mom, although Xiuming was a little disappointed when he failed the exam, he soon cheered up. He has been studying hard recently, and often gets together with his classmates to exchange knowledge and poetry. I have attended many meetings.”

Mrs. Gu nodded happily: "Xiu Ming, this kid has become much calmer and more sensible. I think I can find a real wife for him. It's not good to let him guard an aunt after all. Others will make irresponsible remarks."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao paled. If an elder wanted to find a real wife for Gu Xiuming, wouldn't that be playing into Gu Xiuming's hands?

This is absolutely not possible. If someone like Gu Xiuming finds a good girl for him, wouldn't it be a disaster for other girls and push them into a pit of fire? It's immoral to harm other people's good girls.

She immediately said: "Mom, I don't think this is appropriate."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Chen looked at her with strange expressions. It was strange that she, a cheap mother, could be nice to Gu Xiuming, but it was too blatant to refuse to find a wife for her cheap son.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was not displeased. She only asked the reason: "Why is it inappropriate?"

Meng Jinyao replied obediently: "Mother, when Xiu Ming took Aunt Li as his concubine, he said in front of me and the Marquis that he wanted to marry Aunt Li as his wife, but Aunt Li was of low origin and escaped from the marriage with Xiuming. If you can't, you can only be a concubine. At that time, Xiu Ming said that he would accept Aunt Li as his concubine, but he would not marry a wife from now on, nor would he have any other concubines, and he would be with Aunt Li for the rest of his life. "

Zhang and Chen were shocked. They didn't expect that Gu Xiuming would not marry or have anyone else for Aunt Li. No wonder he dared to escape from marriage and doted on Aunt Li so much. With his previous behavior, he was afraid that others would not know that he had a wife. He loves her to the core like a doting concubine. Unexpectedly, he has made up his mind not to marry a wife, so he is so unrestrained. He is not afraid that a well-matched noble girl will not want to marry him.

Even so, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen were also angry in their hearts. They did not want to marry, but their brothers wanted to marry. By doing this, Gu Xiuming also affected the reputation of their children and made others suspect that their children were also married. He will pamper his concubine like Gu Xiuming.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said in disapproval: "Third brother and sister, how could you and the third brother let him do what he did? He has this idea. You should not have let Aunt Li in in the first place. Even if you want to let Aunt Li in, you must let Xiu Ming marry her." Let’s talk about it after I get my wife.”

Meng Jinyao sighed softly and felt helpless: "The child insists on going his own way, and we, as elders, can't stop him. Even if he is forced to marry another girl, and he gets angry at his wife because of this, he has wronged that girl. Then it will not be a marriage, but a marriage. It’s a grudge.”

Zhang was stunned, that was true.

Mrs. Gu knew about this, and she originally thought that since her grandson was calm and sensible, she should find a real wife for her, but after hearing what her daughter-in-law said, she could only give up this idea for the time being.

Meng Jinyao looked at Mrs. Gu and advised softly: "Mother, in my daughter-in-law's opinion, it's better to let him take the initiative to bring up the matter of marrying a wife. When he thinks about it and brings it up on his own, we will arrange the marriage for him. Otherwise, if we try to persuade him to get a wife, it will probably cause him to have a rebellious mentality and become more determined to be alone with Aunt Li. After a while, when his freshness has passed, and his brothers in the family also have wives, he will naturally want to get a wife. .”

She dared to say this because she was sure that Gu Xiuming would not take the initiative to bring it up. If Gu Xiuming would take the initiative, he would not bother to seduce a well-matched lady in private. However, the girl ignored him and she did not know what he would do next. What method to use.

Mrs. Gu thought this was reasonable and sighed: "Then let's wait a little longer."
