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

Meng Chengzhang remembered something important and said, "Sister, there is something I almost forgot to tell you. My third brother is ill."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was surprised: "On the day of my father's wedding, I thought he was fine. He didn't look like someone with physical problems. Why did he suddenly fall ill?"

Meng Chengzhang smiled: "Yesterday was originally the day that he and I set off to Lingshan Academy. I went back to the academy to study, and he went to the academy to take the exam. But the night before yesterday, he caught a cold and suddenly developed a high fever. His condition became so severe that he alerted his grandmother that night. and father them.”

These words sounded intriguing, and Meng Jinyao immediately understood. How could it be such a coincidence? Her worthless third brother might have tried every means to fall ill in order to avoid going to Lingshan Academy to take the exam. As long as he was delayed and couldn't attend, he would not have failed because he failed the exam and could still save face.

She said meaningfully: "This disease came at a very timely time."

Meng Chengzhang nodded: "It's quite timely. After getting rid of the high fever, he also said that he would set off and rush to Lingshan Academy. Now it's still too late to rush there. Grandma saw him lying on the bed sickly and felt sorry for his body. She felt sorry for him. It took a lot of persuasion to persuade him."

Meng Jinyao said: "The assessment was delayed, and someone gave him the steps. He was a little smart, but he didn't use it for serious matters."

Meng Chengzhang said helplessly: "The year before last, I went to take the assessment, and he also went. This year, the academy is recruiting students again, and he even tried every means to waste time on himself during the assessment."

Meng Jinyao replied: "Some things are the same as fighting. Once you are vigorous, you will fail again, and then you will be exhausted. If you fail, you will be discouraged and lose confidence. You will be afraid of failing again and will not dare to try again."

She said, her voice paused, and then continued: "In the imperial examination, most people cannot be on the list every time and finally pass the imperial examination. People like him who dare not try after failure cannot pass the imperial examination and enter." To get an official position, you can only go through the back door, but his father has no future and can't find connections for him. He will be like this for the rest of his life, but it is quite good. His character is not suitable for being an official in the court. "

Meng Chengzhang nodded lightly, and then said: "Sister, I am leaving to go back to the academy tomorrow. I cannot come back during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. My husband has to take a few students to travel for several months. I am also on the list of accompanying people. Next time I come back, It should be at the end of the year, when the new year is approaching.”

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she was very happy. Which gentleman from Lingshan Academy is not a famous teacher with extensive knowledge? If the second brother can be on the accompanying list, it proves that the second brother is outstanding and has caught the attention of the husband. She said warmly: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You can study with the husband with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about me. Everything will be fine." Your eldest brother-in-law is here."

At noon, Meng Chengzhang stayed for lunch, and after lunch he played with his nephew.

Meng Chengzhang looked at his little nephew's face and said with a smile: "Sister, Wanwan, this child looks really like you. The longer he grows, the more he looks like you."

"His father was very tolerant of him because of his face." After Meng Jinyao said this, she remembered that when her husband came back and picked up Wan Wan yesterday, Wan Wan peed again. Although her husband was sullen and disgusted, he still helped her in person. Wanwan changed her clothes and finally said to her, "Ayao, this is for your husband's sake."

She didn't know why at the time, so she asked: "Husband, what do you mean by this?"

Her husband replied to her: "If this face didn't look like yours, I would scold this unfilial son."

Meng Chengzhang was a little curious when he heard what his eldest sister said: "Wanwan is so young, what can he do to make his eldest brother-in-law be tolerant to him?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the baby, he can be quite hateful sometimes. He peed his pants more than once when your eldest brother-in-law hugged him. He is a proper filial son."

As soon as he said this, Meng Chengzhang was stunned and looked at the little nephew in his arms with a strange expression.

Meng Jinyao was a little confused when she saw this: "Second brother, why are you looking at Wanwan like this?"

Meng Chengzhang lifted Wanwan up, revealing the clothes that his nephew had filial piety on, and replied: "Sister, look, Wan Wan is indeed very filial, not only to her father, but also to her uncle."

Meng Jinyao lowered her eyes and quickly took the child and gave it to the wet nurse to take him down to change clothes. However, there were no clothes for young people in her yard, so she thought of Xiu Wen from the eldest family and the stature of her second brother. He was relatively close and said to Chunliu: "Go to the eldest lady and borrow a set of clothes belonging to the Third Young Master."

Meng Chengzhang said: "Sister, don't bother, it's okay. It's hot now and my clothes will dry quickly. Besides, I have to go back to my hometown later, so I can change again when I get home."

Meng Jinyao frowned: "But how can you do this now?"

Meng Chengzhang said nonchalantly: "It's just a wet patch. It will dry up in a while. You won't catch a cold in this weather."

He insisted not to, and Meng Jinyao probably knew that he didn't want her to trouble others, so she couldn't resist him, so she gave up and asked him to take off his clothes in the guest room, and then asked the maid to help dry them.

The weather is hot and clothes dry quickly.

After Meng Chengzhang got dressed, he said goodbye to his eldest sister and went back home.

In the evening, Gu Jingxi came back.

After dinner, Meng Jinyao told him about the Meng family, and finally said: "Husband, I guessed right before, my stepmother is not easy to mess with."

Gu Jingxi was very surprised when he heard this. As far as he knew, women who married into the Meng family were punished, and no one could really live a good life. Even the Sun family was controlled to death by Mrs. Meng. Yes, Mrs. Sun is dignified towards her servants, but she has to behave with her tail between her legs when facing her mother-in-law.

Gu Jingxi said: "She can cure her father-in-law to death, and make her grandmother trust her, and even blame her father-in-law for her sake. She is quite capable."

Meng Jinyao said with emotion: "My father married four wives. The first three wives were all set by my grandmother the day after they got married. A good woman like Aunt Dong was picked on by my grandmother. But after she got married, she never set any rules. According to my second brother, my grandmother still loves her very much and praises her very much. She is really a strange person. "

Gu Jingxi said: "Probably only a woman with this kind of temperament can be the wife of the Meng family without being wronged."

Meng Jinyao raised her lips and smiled, with a hint of schadenfreude in her tone: "It is impossible for her to be wronged. The only person who is wronged is my father. A person like my father should be paired with a fierce woman, rather than let him go." If you bully others and make others feel wronged, it is better to let others bully you."

Gu Jingxi looked at her wilting smile, and the corners of her mouth also turned up: "Ayao, if my father-in-law knew what you were thinking, he would probably be very angry."

Meng Jinyao's smile deepened: "He deserves it. A gentle woman has been wronged for marrying him. Now let him taste the feeling of being wronged."
