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

The cool wind is blowing, and the dew is cold and desolate.

Before we knew it, it was already late autumn. There had been an autumn rain last night, and the morning was very cold. As soon as I left the bed, I could clearly feel the cold air coming over me.

Meng Jinyao put on the late-autumn dress that had been custom-made at Jinxiufang, and put on the newly bought jewelry, had breakfast, and then went to Shou'an Hall to greet Mrs. Gu. As soon as she entered the room, everyone present felt their eyes light up. Look, With her exquisite and luxurious dress, she seemed to be going to a banquet.

I saw her wearing a red dress embroidered with gold threads and tangled branches. She wore golden silk and ruby ​​​​on her head. She wore bright moon ornaments in her ears. She was walking in lotus steps. Her skirt was flowing, graceful and luxurious, and bright and beautiful. .

After Meng Jinyao saluted Mrs. Gu and said hello, she sat down at Mrs. Gu's head.

Mrs. Zhang asked curiously: "Third brother and sister, I see that you have dressed up carefully today and are dressed so festively. Are you going out for a banquet?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "No, I just think the dress looks good, so I dress it up a little, otherwise I always feel like I don't deserve it."

Mrs. Chen looked at her and interjected, "Looking at the style of the skirt, it shouldn't be made by the embroiderer in the mansion, right?"

Meng Jinyao said truthfully: "The skirt is from Jinxiufang."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang understood that the items from Jinxiufang must have been prepared by their brother-in-law. The brother-in-law went out on business and arranged food, clothing, and supplies for his wife at home.

Mrs. Gu's eyes also fell on her younger daughter-in-law. She looked at her elegant and elegant dress. Her little face seemed to have grown a bit more flesh, and she was sitting there with a smile on her face, like a wealthy flower.

Although she bought things for her daughter-in-law in the name of her son, she was actually the one who asked people to buy them. After many years, she was allowed to experience the joy of raising children, and she also raised her children well. She felt an inexplicable achievement. Yes, the feeling of raising a daughter is different from raising a son.

Mrs. Zhang said with envy: "Third brother, third brother is really considerate to you, unlike his elder brother, who is like a pimple on an elm."

Meng Jinyao lowered her head slightly, acting coyly. If she was too embarrassed to answer anyway, she lowered her head like a shy little daughter-in-law, and others would understand.

Mrs. Gu said warmly: "Daughter-in-law, the boss is used to being careless. If you want something, you have to tell him in person. Otherwise, if he doesn't know what you want and you are sulking in your heart, wouldn't you be very angry?" Own?"

"That's what mother said."

Mrs. Zhang nodded quickly in response, feeling depressed in her heart. Sometimes her husband was so stupid that it irritated her. When she was angry, her husband didn't even realize it. Even on New Year's Day, she deliberately wore a piece of clothing as thin as a cicada's wings at night. Her pajamas and eyes were suggestive, but it was like ogling a blind man. People also asked her what was wrong with her eyes, which made her lose her mind for a moment.

Mrs. Gu added: "Their brothers' fathers were like this back then. Without explicit instructions, none of them would have realized this. The eldest brother followed his father in this aspect."

She was telling the truth. The old Marquis was indeed not a very considerate husband back then. He was not considerate to either his wife or his concubines, and he never cared about the affairs of the back house. However, apart from being a husband, the old Marquis did a good job as a courtier, a father, a friend, a teacher, and a son.

Later, when she had enough patience, she would tell her what she was unhappy about and directly ask her husband to do what he wanted. Her husband was unhappy and found her troublesome, but as long as it had nothing to do with her mother-in-law and there was no conflict, he would at least satisfy her. The request made her feel better.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang thought of her father-in-law. It is true that her father-in-law was not that kind of caring husband, but he treated her mother-in-law with respect. When her husband was young, he might have been better than her father-in-law. At least he would coax her when he was young. A serious person like her father-in-law. , he probably wouldn’t be able to lower his face to coax a woman.

After such a comparison, Zhang was comforted again and responded with a smile: "Thank you, mother, for your guidance."

Mrs. Gu announced another matter: "I made an appointment with some elders to go to the temple to stay for a few days tomorrow. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law have to take care of the family affairs. The third daughter-in-law is pregnant, so don't worry. Work hard.”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xuanyi immediately answered: "Grandma, I will accompany you to pray."

Mrs. Gu was surprised. This granddaughter usually wanted to hide away when she heard that she was going to offer incense. What happened today?

Gu Xuanyi probably also noticed that her reaction was abnormal, so she said: "My granddaughter has gained some enlightenment recently, but her thoughts are still a bit vague. She feels that she needs to get closer to the Buddha in order to understand clearly."

Mrs. Gu nodded: "It's rare for you to calm down and understand the truth. Then go back and pack your bags later, and come with me to Lingyun Temple tomorrow morning."

Gu Xuanyi responded with a smile: "Yes, grandma."

Mrs. Zhang felt depressed. She knew what her daughter was up to, and she just wanted to avoid her. She would rather go to the temple, eat fast, and chant Buddha's name than avoid her.

But she is doing this for her daughter’s sake. Even if a married girl is perfect, some people will still mind an unmarried man. If they are older, they will mind even more. It’s easier to find them while you are young. Husband.

Go out with her to attend banquets more often, look for opportunities to meet more people, and you might meet someone good. Unexpectedly, her daughter doesn't understand her good intentions and is so resistant.

-

Out of Shou'an Hall.

Gu Xuanyi returned to her yard as quickly as possible, fearing that her mother would nag her.

When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she was angry and helpless. Her husband didn't live up to expectations and was not considerate, and her daughter didn't live up to her expectations either. She couldn't understand her hard work. Fortunately, her two sons lived up to their expectations. The eldest son has won the imperial examination, and the younger son has also won the scholarship. Otherwise, how could I survive this day?

Mrs. Zhang turned to look at Meng Jinyao and begged: "Third brother and sister, Xuan Yi is close to you now. Please help me persuade her. How can the girl's family not marry?"

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Sister-in-law, sometimes the harder you push for this kind of thing, the more resistant she becomes. If you wait another year and a half, she will probably figure it out."

Ms. Zhang worried: "If we wait another year and a half, she will be seventeen next year. I am doing this for her own good."

"What's wrong with being seventeen?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head indifferently, a little disdainful of Mrs. Zhang's behavior, and said quietly: "Girls from our Gu family have no worries about getting married. My sister-in-law rushed to take Xuan Yi to see each other for fear that no one would want her. It seems that in the eyes of outsiders, this means that Xuan Yi is rushing to get married. Doesn’t this mean that Xuan Yi is belittled in front of outsiders?"

Zhang was choked by these words.

Mrs. Chen glanced at her and continued: "My mother also told you that there is no rush for Xuan Yi's marriage. Last time, my sister-in-law was too hasty and killed Xuan Yi. She married into Wu'anbo Mansion, although Xuan Yi was not in a hurry. She is obedient and insists on going her own way, but without the help of her sister-in-law, how could Xuan Yi meet her ex-aunt?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang's face turned ugly, and she said in an unhappy tone: "Second brother and sister, what are you doing to lift that unlucky thing?"

Chen replied: "I'm just reminding my sister-in-law not to repeat the same mistake and harm the child again."

After saying that, Mrs. Chen didn't bother to argue with her, and walked away.

Meng Jinyao didn't want to be involved, so she just said: "Sister-in-law, take your time with Xuan Yi. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
