The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The next day.

The Marquis Mansion of Changxing hosted a banquet for relatives and friends.

The third sister-in-law Meng Jinyao was busy again, and the men in the family were also busy. The three brothers Gu Jingxi greeted their peers, the fourth brother Gu Xiuyuan greeted guests of their own age, and even Mrs. Gu had to socialize with the old people who came to the banquet. Mrs.

After the luncheon, everyone chatted some more. It was about midnight when the guests dispersed and everyone could take a rest.

After all the guests left, Ms. Zhang's smile became a little unbearable, and she frowned as if she had something on her mind. She went back to her yard without even saying hello to her two sisters-in-law.

Meng Jinyao noticed something was wrong with Mrs. Zhang and asked in a low voice Mrs. Chen, who had been staying with Mrs. Zhang for a long time today: "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with sister-in-law? She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Mrs. Chen replied: "Isn't it because of Xuan Yi? Didn't the people from Wu Anbo's house come today? My sister-in-law accidentally saw Mrs. Wu Anbo scolding Xuan Yi in an inconspicuous corner. Xuan Yi was aggrieved but did not dare to say a word. When I arrived in front of others, I put on a smile again, not daring to show any grievance."

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly. She and Zhang's sister-in-law had been fighting for more than ten years, and they didn't like each other. Now that she saw Zhang's worries about her children, she suddenly felt some sympathy. Since Xuan Yi got married, She seems to have fewer overt and covert fights with Zhang.

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Sister-in-law didn't go out to tell Mrs. Wu Anbo at that time, right?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head: "She thought so, but she held it back. If she stood up and accused Mrs. Wu Anbo, making Mrs. Wu Anbo unhappy, Xuan Yi would definitely have a hard time when she went back. Then, she thought about mentioning I ordered Xuanyi to teach Xuanyi how to deal with it, but the people in Wu'anbo's Mansion went back earlier and had no chance to talk. Fortunately, our Xuanling is an obedient and well-behaved child. Although she married low, she lives a happy life. In a year or two, it will be better to have another child, otherwise the second master and I will also have a headache as parents."

Meng Jinyao was silent after hearing this. One of the two girls of the Gu family was married to the prince of the Earl's Palace, and the other was married to the son of a minor official. The former had almost no comfortable life, while the latter had a loving husband and wife and loving parents. Sometimes, listening more to their parents and elders can avoid jumping up. Most people who go into a pit of fire and insist on their own way have no good results.

After a moment, Mrs. Chen asked curiously: "Third younger brother and sister, what kind of trouble has your Xiu Ming had with Aunt Li recently? I see that he has been feeling depressed recently, as if he has something unhappy in his heart."

Meng Jinyao avoided the serious matter and said lightly: "What else can cause trouble? When a child of this age quarrels with his sweetheart, it is nothing more than a matter of love. Now there is a conflict, and when the quarrel is enough, they will make up."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen's mouth twitched and she thought to herself: You are two months younger than Xiu Ming. If you call me a child, then you are not a child?

Meng Jinyao added: "The children are already so old. They can handle their own affairs. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As elders, we should pay less attention to the business of the younger generations. If we worry too much, people will grow old easily."

Mrs. Chen agreed with this: "That's true. I think my sister-in-law has become more sad after Xuan Yi got married, and her energy seems to be not as good as before."

Meng Jinyao changed the subject: "Second sister-in-law, I heard from Mr. Hou that Xiuhong has a high chance of becoming a Jinshi in Chunwei this year. After Chunwei helps, Xiuhong's marriage should be settled, right?"

"I have this idea. If he passes the imperial examination this year, I will find a good wife for him." Mrs. Chen sighed softly and said with a headache, "But if he fails, he will not be willing to get engaged and marry a wife. He has his own goals and must be on the gold list before considering marriage."

Meng Jinyao said with relief: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiuhong will definitely be on the gold medal list this year if he works so hard."

Ms. Chen actually had some confidence in her son, saying, "I hope so, that's what I hope. Otherwise, I still don't know when I will have a daughter-in-law."

-

In the past few days, everyone has been very busy visiting relatives and friends to keep in touch.

In the blink of an eye, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year has passed, and the annual leave of the man who is an official in the family has ended. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he will be on duty at the government office on time and start the busy life of the new year.

The sons who are studying are still free. The academies have not started school yet, and all the major academies do not open until after the Lantern Festival. Gu Xiuyuan and the others also invited young masters from other families to come as guests, cook tea and write poems together, and the house was very lively.

Gu Xiuhong, who participated in this year's Spring Festival, did not participate in these activities. On the ninth day of February, he had to prepare for the Spring Festival. He would lock himself in the house and only read the books of sages. When he encountered a problem, he would go out of the yard to ask his third uncle for advice.

There is one thing worth mentioning, about Qing Yuxuan.

Originally, Gu Xiuming had a conflict with Aunt Li, and Yuan'er, the maid of the housekeeper, was waiting on her every day. Yuan'er's status in Qingyu Xuan increased, and even Yuan'er herself became proud.

But at this moment, Aunt Li suddenly coaxed Gu Xiuming to heal. Gu Xiuming reconciled with Aunt Li and stopped neglecting Aunt Li. The person who was ignored became Yuan'er, which made Yuan'er angry. It's not easy.

Ningdong had been paying attention to the gossip over there, and immediately started gossiping with Meng Jinyao.

Meng Jinyao was slightly surprised: "You said they suddenly reconciled yesterday?"

Ningdong nodded: "Yes, Aunt Li personally cooked the prince's favorite dishes yesterday and admitted her mistake to him. Seeing that she sincerely admitted her mistake, the prince stopped arguing with her, and then they reconciled as before. .”

Meng Jinyao chuckled: "Are you impatient so soon? It seems that the good show is coming soon."

Ningdong didn't know why: "Madam, why can't you wait? What's the show?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said: "We can't say for the time being. Let's just wait and see. I think we can watch a good show in the near future."

Ningdong asked: "Is it related to the Crown Prince and Aunt Li?"

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly, there must be a devil in the abnormality. Gu Xiuming was so angry because of Aunt Li's pregnancy, how could he reconcile over a table of food? Reconciliation must be a cover-up, just to let Aunt Li indulge in sweetness, and some things are easier to do.

If she guessed correctly, Gu Xiuming was already planning to miscarry the child in Aunt Li's belly. Aunt Li cooked a table of dishes, which just gave Gu Xiuming a step forward.

His curiosity was not completely satisfied. Ningdong felt scratched at his heart and lungs. He looked at Meng Jinyao eagerly and asked, "Madam, do you know something?"

"I just know a little more than you." As Meng Jinyao spoke, she playfully pointed at the little bits in her mouth with her fingers.

Ningdong became more and more curious: "What is it?"

Meng Jinyao said: "It's hard to say for now. I'll gossip with you after some time."

After hearing this, Ningdong was completely wilted. The master didn't want to say this, so it was definitely impossible. And even if she knew there was a good show, she couldn't tell others that there would be a good show. The most she could do was tell Qingqiu. explain.

Meng Jinyao saw her drooping her head, pursed her lips and smiled, then pushed the plate of snacks in front of her to her, and said warmly: "Here, this is what you like to eat, eat more, it's not his business to eat." important?"

Ningdong was immediately coaxed and smiled happily: "Madam is right, eating is more important."

Meng Jinyao laughed helplessly and said jokingly: "You are such a greedy girl, will you be coaxed away by a man with some delicious food in the future?"

Hearing this, Ningdong's cheeks suddenly turned red and she shook her head: "I don't want to get married. I only like to eat what the madam gives me. I don't care about food given by stinky men. I can always have delicious food by my lady's side. It’s not necessarily the case if you’re with a stinky man, he’ll give me delicious food when he makes me happy, but when he doesn’t want to make me happy anymore, won’t I have nothing to eat?”

Meng Jinyao saw that she was shy, but did not let her go, and continued to tease her: "I'm afraid you will be very rare by then. Didn't you clamor to marry a cook before? A cook can cook a lot of delicious food."

Ningdong's face turned even redder, and he was extremely embarrassed: "I was young and ignorant at that time, but when I grew up, I realized that many cooks did not cook at home, and women had to cook. Not to mention cooks, even You also have to cook when you marry someone else. You don’t have to cook when you are a slave and a lady. You have to cook when you marry someone else. This is not getting married, it is looking for suffering."

Meng Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth, smiled gently, and stopped teasing Ningdong. At present, Qingqiu and Ningdong have no thoughts of getting married, but she doesn't want to waste their lives. She will ask again in a few years. If she has any ideas, she will give them If they find a good husband, if they really have no idea and stay with her for the rest of their lives, she will not treat them badly.
