The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot
Chapter 34 Sowing discord
Changxing Marquis Mansion covers an area much larger than Yongchang Bo Mansion, with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. The prosperity in the mansion cannot be compared to that of Yongchang Bo Mansion, which has fallen into decline. Today, Yongchang Bo Mansion can only rely on ancestral inheritance to maintain a semblance of respectability.
Meng Jinyao walked around this big house where she would live for the rest of her life unless something unexpected happened. Except for the first and second bedrooms and Mrs. Gu's Shou'an Hall, she took a general look around to familiarize herself with the environment of the house.
After coming down from the small bridge, Meng Jinyao paused slightly when she saw Madam Zhang coming towards her, then walked towards Madam Zhang and called out warmly: "Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Zhang actually saw her hanging out with two maids from a distance. She walked towards her specially. She nodded gently and then asked: "It's spring, the flowers in the yard are in bloom, and the three younger brothers and sisters are also here." A flower-viewer?”
Meng Jinyao replied: "Take advantage of your free time to walk around the mansion and get familiar with the environment. When you pass by the garden, you can enjoy the flowers."
"Then I'll go shopping with my three younger siblings."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her as she spoke, and seeing that she agreed happily, she went to enjoy the flowers with her. After walking a few steps, she asked casually: "I heard that Xiu Ming's fever persisted last night, and the three younger siblings also went to visit in the morning." ?”
Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's face paused slightly, and she immediately understood Mrs. Zhang's intention to accompany her for a walk, and replied calmly: "My son is sick, how can a mother rest assured? I went to see how his condition was. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. .”
Mrs. Zhang said with emotion: "Three younger brothers and sisters are truly bodhisattva-hearted. It is really rare for Xiu Ming to treat you like that and not ignore the past grudges."
Meng Jinyao raised her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Sister-in-law is also a mother, so she should be able to understand me. How can any mother care about her son?"
Mrs. Zhang choked and looked at her calmly. She saw that her eyes were gentle and her lips were smiling. There was nothing strange about her. She seemed to be a loving mother who would not care about her children.
This mind is calmer than she imagined. She obviously has resentment towards Gu Xiuming and is even younger than Gu Xiuming, but she can still pretend to be a loving mother. But she doesn't know how long she can keep pretending. Depending on Gu Xiuming's temperament, even if No matter how good she is at pretending, sooner or later these ungrateful mother and son will start fighting.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang sighed softly and continued: "Having said that, it's just that the child Xiu Ming was spoiled to be willful and has a bad temper. It is difficult to change what he has decided, and the three younger siblings have been wronged."
A confirmed thing?
Could it be that girl Wan'er?
Meng Jinyao pretended not to understand Zhang's instigation and said without changing her expression: "Actually, it's understandable. My husband is usually busy with official duties and neglects to discipline him. After he was adopted, he didn't have a mother to educate him. Now that he has a mother, I I will teach him well."
Zhang sneered in her heart, feeling that she was hypocritical, but on the surface she still followed her words: "With the patient education of the third younger brother and sister, Xiu Ming will definitely get better and better in the future. By the way, the third younger brother just got married, and he also has a wedding leave, why? Didn't I accompany you to get familiar with the environment of the mansion?"
"Husband has something to do, and will leave the mansion after lunch." Meng Jinyao did not hide anything and told the truth. After all, Mrs. Zhang is in charge of the central government, and she even knew about her visit to the ancestral hall in the morning, and about Gu Jingxi's departure from the mansion. You can find out by asking the concierge.
After hearing this, Ms. Zhang frowned slightly and felt grievances for Meng Jinyao: "It's true that third brother, he is like that..." She hesitated, looked at Meng Jinyao's face that looked like a fairy, sighed with regret, and turned around And said, "This marriage has wronged the third younger brother and sister, but they are still focused on official duties and don't even know how to spend more time with the third younger brother and sister to make up for it."
Meng Jinyao said understandingly: "As an important official in the court, my husband is busy with official duties. How can he always stay with me, a little girl, in the back house?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang thought of her worthless husband. He only took up a sinecure job because of the protection of the family. He had been living in the world for so many years and had not become famous. The third brother had won the Holy Heart, but he did not seek for his elder brother. The future was so good that my husband had to hold a low-level sinecure with no real power for many years.
These years have been very leisurely, and she only goes to the government office every day to have a meal. The rest of the time is either for so-called social events or at home. In the early years, she would accompany her. Now she is old and young, and she spends her time in the rooms of those foxy concubines. Fortunately, she kept a close watch and never caused any concubine or concubine to come out to irritate anyone.
After a moment, Mrs. Zhang forced out a smile: "The third brother and sister are really considerate. The third brother is really lucky to have a wife like you."
Meng Jinyao responded with a smile: "Brother is lucky to be able to marry such a virtuous wife as my sister-in-law. Who in the capital doesn't know that my sister-in-law is a good housekeeper?"
Hearing this, Ms. Zhang's heart rang with alarm. She couldn't help but turn her eyes and saw her smiling brightly. The spring breeze blew by, and a strand of hair on her temples fell down. She reached out and tucked the strand of hair behind her ears. When she raised her hand, she put her sleeves Hanging upside down, revealing the delicate white wrists, the green wrap around the wrists, the greenery makes the slender hands whiter and whiter.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang's sense of crisis became even greater. That bracelet was priceless, and it was passed down from generation to generation in the Gu family. It was a symbol of the matron of the house. Did Meng Jinyao mean anything with these words and this meaningful action? To remind her to hand over the power of Zhongfeed?
That won't work. The second brother is a doctor in the fifth-grade gift department. Even if the second daughter-in-law doesn't help her manage the middle gift, she won't lose much. But her husband is not good. He is the least capable among the three brothers. If the eldest brother loses the power of housekeeping, he will not lose much. How can I have the confidence to speak and act in the mansion?
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang's mind changed rapidly, and she finally decided to retreat instead of advancing: "Speaking of the head of the family, it was because the third brother did not marry a wife that the middle brother fell into my hands. I took care of it on his behalf. Now the third brother My younger brother is married, so the middle child should be handed over to the third younger brother and sister."
Meng Jinyao was slightly stunned. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. It is obviously not the meaning, but it is understood by others.
What she just said was just literal. I didn’t expect Madam Zhang to think too much about it, so she smiled and said, “I’m still young, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it. My sister-in-law has rich experience in running the business, so she should continue to be in charge of the middle feed. "
Seeing her bright and sincere smile, Mrs. Zhang secretly thought that she was really calm. She clearly wanted it in her heart, but she was pretending to refuse, just so that she could give some advice and then feel at ease. Take over the power of central government?
But he will not spoil her, nor will he be polite to her. He will just do it: "In that case, I will continue to take care of it for the third younger brother and sister. I will hand it over to the third younger brother and sister when they are older."
Meng Jinyao nodded and said, "Then continue to work hard, sister-in-law."
Seeing that Meng Jinyao was still smiling at this moment, Zhang frowned imperceptibly. Meng Jinyao was more difficult to deal with than she thought. She was like a cunning fox, with no leaks and no one could catch her mistakes.
She responded warmly: "That's right. Why are you being polite to my sister-in-law?"
