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

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she knew there was a problem and asked, "Your second brother has always been sensible, how could you contradict your elders?"

"If he is really sensible, can he contradict his elders?"

Mrs. Meng had a stern face, as if she was angry at her grandson's ignorance. When she looked at Meng Jinyao, her expression softened, and then said: "Ayao, it's rare for you to come back. We won't mention the bad things. We, our grandson and grandson, are doing well." say something."

Meng Jinyao did not do what she wanted, and replied warmly: "Grandma, even if the second brother really did something wrong, he is sick now. As the eldest sister, I should go and visit him later. Sometimes we have plenty of time to talk."

Mrs. Meng frowned and said disapprovingly: "He is sick, and you are still pregnant. How can you give birth to a child if he is over the illness?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "It doesn't matter, as long as I don't get so close." After she said that, regardless of whether Mrs. Meng agreed or not, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Gu Jingxi also stood up and supported her thoughtfully, obviously wanting to go with her to visit the sick Meng Chengzhang.

Seeing this, Meng Dongyuan became depressed. He originally wanted to have a good talk with his son-in-law, but he didn't expect that his son-in-law would visit his son soon. Others envied him having Gu Jingxi as his son-in-law, but only he knew the frustration. Gu Jingxi He was not treated as an elder at all, and he couldn't act like an elder when facing Gu Jingxi. He was suppressed by an invisible pressure.

Mrs. Meng was so angry when she saw the couple leaving like this. She didn't care that her grandson was still here, and directly scolded Mrs. Dong: "You said you don't have a brain? You are in your twenties. You still don’t know what to say and what not to say?”

Mrs. Dong looked innocent: "Mom, A-Yao is one of our own. She asked about Cheng Zhang. What's wrong with my daughter-in-law telling the truth?"

Mrs. Meng said: "They have a good relationship with each other, and they have always had misunderstandings about the elders in the family. When you say this, she may have misunderstood and thought that we, as elders, have treated Chengzhang badly."

Mrs. Dong disagreed: "Mother, Ayao is a sensible person, so how could she be like this? Don't think so wildly. My daughter-in-law is going to see how the luncheon is being prepared."

Mrs. Meng watched them leave one by one, not to mention how depressed she was. Ever since that damn girl married into the Gu family, there has been no peace in the Meng family. She had long said that this girl was a family-restraining star. , but the old man regards Sangmen Star as a treasure.

Meng Dongyuan comforted her: "Mom, don't be angry. Huiyun and A-Yao are not familiar with each other and have only met a few times. How do you know A-Yao's temperament? She just said that without thinking too much."

When Mrs. Meng heard that her son was defending her daughter-in-law in this way, she was also annoyed. She said in a deep voice: "When Chengzhang complains with more jealousy, that girl will come over again to accuse her, and my eldest uncle is also here. Then what do you want your eldest uncle to think of us Meng?" Home?"

Meng Dongyuan didn't think this was a big problem, and replied: "You just want your uncle to help Chengxing enter Lingshan Academy. If he is willing to help, just help. If he doesn't want to, forget it. It's not a big deal."

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng glanced at him and couldn't help but miss her younger son who died young. In many cases, her eldest son was not as clever as her younger son.

In that room, Meng Chengzhang was lying on the bed very sickly. Because the ancestral hall was cold and dark, he developed a high fever after staying there for one night. The fever only subsided this morning, and now he felt exhausted.

When he learned that his eldest sister and brother-in-law were coming, he immediately asked the waiter beside him, fearing that the eldest sister would be worried, "I don't look ugly now, do I?"

The boy looked at his face, and it was not easy to lie, so he replied truthfully: "Second Young Master, your face is pale."

Just as Meng Chengzhang was about to say something, he saw his eldest sister and brother-in-law being invited in by another boy. He quickly sat up from the bed and raised a smile: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law."

Meng Jinyao saw that although her brother was smiling, he was in poor mental condition, his face was pale, and his lips were a little dry. This was due to a high fever. She felt distressed and asked, "Second brother, how do you feel now?"

Meng Chengzhang shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, sister, don't worry."

Meng Jinyao waved her hand and signaled the two boys to leave. After they exited, she asked, "Second brother, what happened on New Year's Eve?"

Meng Chengzhang didn't want her to be upset about this kind of thing, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it was just a quarrel, and my grandmother punished me by kneeling in the ancestral hall when she was angry."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was thoughtful and asked: "Second brother, is it related to me? What's going on? If you don't tell me, I can find out by asking my mother."

Meng Chengzhang was slightly stunned, and immediately told what happened that night: "Grandma asked me to tell you that you should go and have fun with your eldest brother-in-law, and let your third brother go to Lingshan Academy through the back door to study. I didn't agree, and grandma said I couldn't see my third brother. Well, I asked my eldest brother-in-law to help me enter Lingshan Academy, but I don’t want my third brother to go in.”

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao frowned: "Besides her little grandson, everyone else who can enter Lingshan Academy uses the back door."

"In my grandmother's heart, my third brother is the best among our brothers and sisters. It's not surprising that she thinks so." After Meng Chengzhang said that, he changed the subject, "By the way, eldest sister, my mother has been pregnant for more than a month. , it was diagnosed by Ling Mansion’s doctor on New Year’s Eve.”

Meng Jinyao was a little surprised and nodded: "It doesn't matter if she has a child. Her father is unreliable and my grandmother is such a person. If she can have a child of her own, she will have hope in her life."

She looked at Meng Chengzhang, who looked sick, and said meaningfully: "Second brother, please bear with me a little longer, the time has not come yet."

Meng Chengzhang looked at her in confusion.

Meng Jinyao did not explain much. Her mother's revenge was only half avenged. The Sun family was dead, but her father, one of the murderers, was still living happily. But next year will be the autumn season that comes every three years, so there can be no filial piety. Something happened that delayed the second brother's imperial examination, and the stepmother was pregnant again. Pregnant people should take good care of the fetus and not work too hard. If someone in the family falls ill or something, the stepmother will definitely be affected.

If the second brother's scientific examination goes well, he will pass the imperial examination next autumn, and he will be a Jinshi in the spring of the next year. He will also be old enough to marry a wife. Regardless of whether he is a Jinshi or not, he will have to get married. It is better to wait a little longer. It will not be good in the next few years. opportunity.

She replied: "Second brother, your eldest brother-in-law said that if you study hard and don't slack off, you will have a great chance of passing the imperial examination next autumn."

Meng Chengzhang was surprised and suddenly looked at Gu Jingxi. He didn't expect that his eldest brother-in-law was so optimistic about him. He was interested in participating in the autumn semester next year. With the mentality of giving it a try, if he won the exam, he would participate in the spring semester the year after next. If he failed, then Just study harder.

Gu Jingxi patted his shoulder gently and encouraged: "Work hard and guard against arrogance and impatience. You should have good results next year."

Meng Chengzhang's confidence increased after hearing this, and he nodded repeatedly: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, I will study hard."

Meng Jinyao nodded. Seeing that he was not in good spirits, she said, "Second brother, please rest well. Let's leave first."

Meng Chengzhang didn't try to stop him. After all, he was really low energy and a little sleepy now.
