Meng Chengzhang smiled and said: "My father is sulking now because his official career is not going well."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao laughed helplessly: "When did his official career go smoothly? After so many years, he still can't accept his mediocrity and incompetence?"

Meng Chengzhang recounted what happened last night: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, during the family banquet in the evening, my father drank two glasses too much. He complained to his grandmother, complaining that you were not close to your natal family, and that you did not support your natal family when you married into a good family. He missed a real gap."

"Then he complained about his uncle, saying that his uncle's current wife's younger brother had taken another job from him. He said that even if his aunt passed away, he was his aunt's biological brother and the biological uncle of his uncle's eldest son. His brother-in-law didn't help him. With my brother-in-law."

"I blame you for not letting the eldest brother-in-law support him. That requires connections. Without the help of the eldest brother-in-law, he will settle for the second best. The other one can only rely on money. In the future, the second brother-in-law will have money, but he will still be He got there first, and he said that my uncle was partial to his current wife's younger brother, which made his career difficult."

Meng Jinyao was shocked: "Is this happening?"

Meng Chengzhang nodded and said: "Last night he asked me to advise you. Sister, don't go back to your parents' house when you are fine. My father is a bit difficult now. If I come back, I will come to see you."

"Don't worry, second brother, I won't go back unless necessary." Meng Jinyao said and smiled again, "I remember that my uncle married Mrs. Xu Xian from a merchant background. I heard that one of my younger brothers took the imperial examination. If you need money, Mrs. Luo's natal family is not short of money. Does the person who manages the house have anything to do with my uncle's favoritism?"

Meng Chengzhang replied: "But my father just felt that it was someone else's fault. It was someone else who caused his career to fail. He said that both of them were brothers-in-law, and my uncle favored the other."

Meng Jinyao said helplessly: "He has no ability in the first place, otherwise how could he be in his thirties and only have a false position? If there is a good official position for him, he must be capable to do it. If he is not capable, he will make mistakes in doing the job, and it will be at least minor. If you are punished, your head will be moved, and your family will be affected."

Meng Chengzhang said: "That's the reason. My father just can't recognize himself."

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Second brother, let him do whatever he wants. Our stepmother is a smart person and will let him take it easy and won't let him do anything that will harm the family."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Chengzhang couldn't help but feel unworthy for Dong: "Not only is she smart, she is also kind-hearted. My father is not worthy of her."

Meng Jinyao nodded and agreed. Her father was indeed not worthy of Dong, who was knowledgeable and sensible.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao asked again: "By the way, did the Luo family's cousin go to the Meng family to visit grandma?"

Meng Chengzhang replied: "Cousin Yongan and his sister-in-law came here this morning with Brother Zheng. My cousin is my grandmother's direct grandson. My grandmother treats my cousin well, but my father alienated the relationship between my cousin and my uncle in front of my cousin. He also tried to alienate the relationship between his cousin and his stepmother, saying inside and outside that every stepmother has a stepfather, so that the cousin would be more alert in the future and not be fooled. However, the cousin has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and these words are also left-handed. It goes in one ear and out the other, and I don’t take it to heart.”

Meng Jinyao said: "I saw that my cousin and Mrs. Luo got along very well before, and my cousin's sister-in-law and Mrs. Luo also had a close relationship. This proves that this stepmother has not treated my cousin badly. My father only said those words to vent his dissatisfaction. That’s all.”

Meng Chengzhang added: "Sister, I met my future second brother-in-law yesterday."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was very curious: "How about Mr. Deng?"

Meng Chengzhang objectively commented: "Master Deng is twenty years old this year. He has good facial features and is a shrewd man. If my second sister marries him, she will definitely be under strict control."

Meng Jinyao nodded and asked, "When is the specific wedding date? Has it been decided yet?"

Meng Chengzhang replied: "It will be on the second day of October."

Meng Jinyao nodded again, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Then Mr. Deng listened to my father's drunken complaint last night at the family dinner. How did Mr. Deng react?"

Meng Chengzhang shook his head: "That's not true. Mr. Deng came to visit in the morning. Mr. Deng was not at the family dinner in the evening. If there were outsiders, my grandmother would definitely not allow my father to say such things, lest he be looked down upon."

Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled mockingly. The act of selling your daughter to a businessman in exchange for money is already looked down upon.

The autumn wind is rustling, and the yellow leaves are falling in the wind.

Meng Jinyao held the needle and thread in her hand to embroider the pattern of the clothes. The clothes were made of blue silk material and embroidered with auspicious patterns of happiness and longevity. At a glance, you could tell that they were not clothes worn by young people.

These are the clothes she made for her mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu. In order to pass the time, she made clothes for her husband and the unborn child, so she thought of making a set of clothes for her mother-in-law to honor her. The size of the clothes She also asked Qingqiu to ask the embroiderer in the mansion to get it.

She is a mother-in-law who lives in simplicity on weekdays, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. She has no desires or pursuits, and has no hobbies. Her only hobbies are probably related to Buddhism. She wants to give something, other than a solitary book of scriptures, Buddhist beads, etc., to say goodbye. It is also difficult to give things that suit my mother-in-law's wishes.

My mother-in-law likes vegetarian dishes, but vegetarian dishes that are light, simple, less salty and less oily sound very simple, but if you want to make them delicious, it also tests your cooking skills. You don’t dare to eat what she makes, so don’t be embarrassed. I have caused harm to my mother-in-law again.

It’s a good time to give away clothes for everyday use.

The stitching is completed and the clothes are ready.

Meng Jinyao checked it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Then she folded the clothes and went to Shou'an Hall to give the clothes to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Gu suddenly received a filial piety from her daughter-in-law. Seeing the fine stitching, she knew that her daughter-in-law had put great care into making this suit. She was very happy in her heart, but she said: "Ayao has a heart, but you are pregnant with How can you be so tiring during pregnancy? From now on, just leave this kind of work to your servants, don’t tire yourself out."

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Mom, I'm not tired. I'm just idle at home. I can do something to pass the time."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu smiled and asked, "Ayao, do you miss Yao Ling?"

How do you have the nerve to answer this kind of question?

Meng Jinyao lowered her head shyly, taking it as acquiescence.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu smiled even deeper: "Yao Ling used to go out on business, and usually came back within half a year at most. This time he went to Hangzhou, and he should be back in late autumn or early winter. If you miss him during this period, you can Correspondence with him."

Meng Jinyao nodded shyly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, and Mrs. Gu asked her to go back to have dinner. It was not that she didn't want to eat with her, but that she was fasting and the vegetarian dishes she ate did not suit her daughter-in-law's taste. In addition, it was not good for pregnant women to eat such vegetarian food.

Nanny Feng looked at the clothes Meng Jinyao sent and said, "Old madam, your embroidery work is really good. It's not worse than the embroiderers in the house, or even better."?

Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded: "That's good. This child is thoughtful. My old sisters and I have made an appointment to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings tomorrow. I will wear this outfit tomorrow."
