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

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng felt depressed. After all, her son was Uncle Yongchang, so why did he lower his conditions to such a low level?

Seeing that she was unwilling, the matchmaker couldn't say that she would quit, so she could only persuade her: "Old madam, think about it, this young girl is about the same age as the grandchildren in your house, how can she manage the middle feeder well? Do the children obey her? It’s different for the older ones, at least they look like elders.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng felt that what the matchmaker said was reasonable. Thinking about the problem from another angle, it was also beneficial for her son to marry an older woman. An older woman could not have children and would not threaten Chengxing's status. Otherwise, her son would be so confused. The worm was blown away by the wind, and he tried every means to depose Chengxing and make his current wife's child the heir apparent.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mrs. Meng still preferred her grandson Meng Chengxing. It would be okay for her son to marry an older woman, but her grandson’s position as the heir apparent could not be shaken. She said softly: "What you said makes some sense. Age Being older also has its benefits.”

Seeing that she agreed with her statement, the matchmaker continued: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely look for a dignified, elegant and outstanding-looking woman for my uncle. If you feel that she is not suitable when you meet her, then continue to look for her. You can always find a daughter-in-law after your own heart.”

Mrs. Meng nodded slightly and emphasized: "Our Meng family is a century-old lord's family. Choosing a daughter-in-law also depends on family status. She wants a woman from an official family, even if the family background is lower, it doesn't matter, as long as she is from a scholarly family. Can."

The matchmaker was helpless. If Mrs. Meng hadn't asked for a woman from an official family and a scholarly family, some young girls would be willing to marry Uncle Meng, but she quickly responded: "Don't worry, Old Madam, I will comply with your request." Go find it and you will be satisfied.”

After sending the matchmaker away, Mrs. Meng sighed, secretly thinking that her family was unlucky. She let a woman like Dong enter the house before, which ruined her son's reputation and made her son's marriage difficult now.

The matchmaker left the Meng family and couldn't help but scorned her. It's really hard to make money as a matchmaker in the Meng family. Uncle Meng is about to get married for the fourth time. The Meng family's reputation is not very good and they are in a state of poverty. What else can they ask for? A six-year-old, beautiful, never-married girl from a scholarly family? You are really humiliating yourself and deserve to be despised. It is obvious that your last wife was a widow who remarried. The more times you get married, the higher the requirements. I don’t know what you think.

In that room, Meng Dongyuan learned that the matchmaker came to visit again. He guessed that he was looking for a girl and came to ask his mother what she thought. He suddenly felt irritated and paced back and forth in the room for a while. Suddenly he had an idea and hurried to Rongfu Hall to find her. old mother.

It didn't matter that the matchmaker found a girl for him. He went to inquire about it, and then expressed his disdain and told his mother to give up the idea. If it failed this time, he would try harder next time and just mess up his own marriage.

When he arrived at Rongfu Hall, Meng Dongyuan greeted his old mother. As soon as he sat down, he asked: "Mom, my son heard that Matchmaker Zhang was here."

Mrs. Meng was not sure of his intentions, so she nodded and said, "I've been here before. What's wrong?"

Meng Dongyuan asked again: "I wonder which girl Zhang the matchmaker has seduced?"

Mrs. Meng was surprised. She didn't expect her son to ask about this matter. She thought her son had figured it out, let go of Dong and married the new man. She said happily: "My mother is very happy that you can care about your marriage, but this time it is not going well." ." She said, her tone darkening, "This is all Dong's fault. If she hadn't made a divorce and ruined your reputation, you wouldn't have the reputation of being born with a weak marriage."

Meng Dongyuan was confused: "Mother, what do you mean by this?"

Mrs. Meng informed the matchmaker about the situation, and finally said: "You are not in good luck in your marriage now, and she is not much better. She is twenty-six years old and has been married twice. Even if she can get married in the future, she will not be able to do so." Marry into a better family than ours."

When Meng Dongyuan learned that his marriage was blocked, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Mother, at your age, it is okay not to marry a wife. In two or three years, Chengzhang will be old enough to marry a wife. I am waiting for you." When my granddaughter-in-law comes in, I will leave the management of the house to her."

Mrs. Meng's face darkened when she heard this. Chengzhang was not the heir apparent, so how could it be Chengzhang's daughter-in-law who was in charge of the family? Chengxing's daughter-in-law is supposed to be in charge of the business. Even though she tried to beat her several times, her son still favored Chengzhang, but she would not go along with her son's wishes and wait for her son to marry a new daughter-in-law. If Chengxing marries a daughter-in-law, he will give the gift to Chengxing's daughter-in-law.

She did not quarrel with her son and said warmly: "You don't have to be discouraged. If you lower your requirements a little, your marriage will not be difficult. Your mother will find a good woman for you. Make the marriage arrangements early and get married in the second half of the year."

Meng Dongyuan: "..."

After a moment of silence, he said: "Thank you, mother, for worrying about your son."

Mrs. Meng said: "You and I, mother and son, why do you have to be so polite? I'm a little tired, so you can go back first."

Meng Dongyuan responded and said goodbye to his old mother. After leaving Rongfu Hall, he was holding back a lot of anger but had no way to vent it. He thought that at such an age, he could not even make the decision on his own marriage. He would have to marry whoever his mother asked him to marry. Anyone who disobeys his mother's orders is unfilial.

Suddenly, Meng Dongyuan thought of someone who could vent his dissatisfaction, and that was his youngest son Meng Chengxing. He had disliked this evil-minded rebellious son for a long time, but his mother protected him, and he was hindered from even punishing this rebellious son. Now his mother is not here to watch. Well, he could find an opportunity to punish him. Anyway, this traitor must not be studying hard at the moment.

Meng Dongyuan arrived at Meng Chengxing's yard without saying a word. The servants stepped forward to salute. He waved his hand and asked people to leave. He walked directly to the direction of his son's study and stopped the servants from reporting, in order to catch the traitor off guard. .

He pushed open the study door and looked into the study. The scene he saw really did not disappoint him. The naughty son and the beautiful maid were hugging each other. They were disheveled. The naughty son had anger on his face because his good deeds had been interrupted. The maid was It was a look of panic.

Meng Chengxing didn't expect that the person coming was his father. The expression on his face changed from anger to panic and embarrassment. He quickly pushed the maid away from his arms, pulled up his clothes, and asked sarcastically: "Father, why are you here?"

Meng Dongyuan said with a gloomy face: "I happened to pass by your yard, and I remembered that your grandmother said that you studied very hard. After coming back from the academy every day, you would lock yourself in the study room to study, so I came to test your knowledge." He glanced at He glanced at the maid who was kneeling on the ground shivering in fear, and continued, "I didn't expect that you would study like this after coming back from the academy."

Meng Chengxing was speechless for a moment, but his mind turned quickly and he immediately passed the responsibility to the maid and knelt down: "Father, my son knows that he is wrong. It was this cheap hooves that seduced his son."

The maid looked at him in shock, it was obviously him who took the initiative.

Meng Dongyuan glanced at the maid. In fact, he knew very well what his son had done, and he did not punish the maid severely. This maid was still useful, so he handled it lightly: "Since you are the first offender, three demerits will be deducted." The monthly payment will not be the same next time, but if there is a next time, I will definitely not be lenient."

The maid was confused and forgot to react. She thought she would be kicked out of the house, but unexpectedly, she was deducted three months' monthly payment.

Meng Dongyuan turned to look at his son and said without hesitation: "Since you know your mistake, bring your books and kneel down to read in the ancestral hall, so that all the ancestors will know that you really know your mistake. I wish you to pass the examination of Lingshan Academy." . Go ahead and I’ll let people watch you while you study.”

Meng Chengxing was shocked and stunned. He resisted in his heart, but he had no way to resist. He had no choice but to respond: "Yes, father."

Meng Dongyuan felt a lot more relieved when he saw Nizi feeling aggrieved.
