Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber
Chapter 77 Meng Xue
Although the Meng family said it was marrying a daughter, not a daughter-in-law, it was still very lively.
Not only did he buy a dowry of 56 liters for Meng Xue, but he also gave away his face outside to help the poor people.
Although Xue Baochai said that she was a sister-in-law, but because the Liu family was unreliable, Meng's father was really worried, so he left most of the things to Xue Baochai.Therefore, Xue Baochai was busy arranging and busying Meng Xue's marriage, but in the end, most of the benefits went to the Liu family. Many wives who didn't know the Liu family saw Meng Xue's wedding scene and the dowry. .Everyone praised Mrs. Liu as a virtuous person, and she was so generous to her concubine.
Although Liu Shi was also a little bit annoyed that Xue Baochai was so generous to Meng Xue, but listening to the compliments from outside, she felt much more at ease.He also thought that Meng Xue, a concubine, was so generous when she married Xue Baochai. When Meng Qing and Meng Jie were married, they must be more generous than they are now. After all, Meng Qing and Meng Jie are Meng Shihan's direct sisters.
Although she was a little confused, she didn't finish being confused. When she thought about it, she didn't bring Meng Han with her.Knowing that although Meng Han is also surnamed Meng now, she is not the daughter of the Meng family.
After Meng Xue got married.
Xue Baochai didn't relax here either, but started to prepare something to return to Yangzhou.After Meng Xue came back, it would take four or five days at most, and she should go back.But before she leaves, she has a lot of busy time.
Back home in three dynasties, this is the first time for Meng's father to be a father-in-law. Although Meng Xue is a concubine, but because she is the eldest daughter, Meng's father still loves her.Today is a good day for her to return home, so Father Meng was naturally waiting for his daughter and son-in-law at the mansion early.Father Meng, the head of the family, was there, not to mention the rest.Several girls are naturally there too.Even the Cao family and his daughter Liu Yuhuan, who came to fight the autumn wind under the pretext of marrying Meng Xue, also appeared in the hall.
Waiting to meet the new uncle.
Everyone was waiting in the lobby of the main courtyard, and after a short time, the wife of the housekeeper came in with a happy face and reported: "Master, madam, the eldest son-in-law and eldest aunt have arrived." You can't call it a girl, you can only call it a great aunt.
While the housekeeper was talking, she saw the new son-in-law Mr. Zhou and the eldest girl Meng Xue walking over one after the other.
In terms of appearance, although Mr. Zhou's face is not as good-looking as Meng Shihan's, it is not bad. He has a straight face and wears a silver crown with tied hair. Because he is newly married, he wears a bright red robe with dark patterns and a belt of the same color around his waist. Embellished with a side of beautiful jade.Meng Xue combed her auspicious cloud bun, and inserted the auspicious golden step inlaid with rubies. She is slim, her face is like a peach blossom, and the corner of her mouth is smiling.One could tell at a glance that she had a pretty good life these past few days.
Xue Baochai praised in his heart, although Father Meng is not very reliable, he is still very discerning in selecting candidates.This Mr. Zhou and Meng Xue are just right, it can be said that they are a perfect match.
Glancing at him, he was even more satisfied when he saw that Young Master Zhou had perfectly matched Meng Xue's pace before walking.
Mrs. Liu looked down on Aunt Li, and had only average feelings for Meng Xue. At this time, she saw that Meng Xue married a good family.He also thought that she was the head wife when she entered the house and had no parents-in-law to take care of her. Although Young Master Zhou had an older sister, she had been married for many years.Turning his head, he accidentally saw that the eye sockets of his daughter Meng Han seemed a little red, and he sighed in his heart.
I just feel that if Mr. Zhou married Meng Han, today would be a perfect day.
Thinking that Meng Han will reach Jiji in another year, at Meng Xue's age, Meng's father has already put her marriage on the agenda.Just after the Jiji ceremony, the marriage was settled.But there was no movement from Meng Han here.There was an extra two points of sadness in my heart, but thinking that Meng Han was not Father Meng's own daughter, although I was a little anxious, there was nothing I could do.Thinking that Father Meng would be in a good mood on that day, so he had to ask.Otherwise, what would Meng Han do with his life?
Liu Shi never thought that Meng Xia, who was a few months older than Meng Han, hadn't said anything about it yet.Not to mention Meng Han.
Young Master Zhou and Meng Xue gave father of Meng and family Liu a big bowing ceremony. Although Xue Baochai is said to be the eldest sister-in-law, she is still of the same generation, so naturally there is no need to do so.Only use half blessing.I have seen the etiquette, and Meng Xue also prepared gifts for the sisters here. Although it is not expensive, it is more than a heart.
The other sisters are okay to say, but Meng Jie, who has always been spoiled by the Liu family and is a bit ruthless, just looks at her string of pearl bracelets inlaid with emeralds, and feels a little displeased in her heart.She only took it from Meng Xue's hand, unlike the other sisters who put it on immediately, but handed it to the big maid behind her to gather it up.It would be okay if it was just like this, but she said, "Big sister, I don't like pearls very much, so it's okay to give this bracelet to someone else."
This time the scene was a bit embarrassing. Although Liu Shi was a little unreliable, but seeing the silence of the audience, Meng Qing, who she had always regarded as the backbone, showed disapproval on his face, so he knew that Meng Jie had done something wrong.It's just that she couldn't open her mouth to scold at this time, otherwise the atmosphere would be even more embarrassing.
Father Meng frowned at the moment.I just feel that the little daughter is really spoiled by the Liu family, and this temper must be corrected.
Cao Shi and Liu Yuhuan are outsiders who are not easy to speak.
Xue Baochai looked at Meng Jie, and thought it was no wonder Liu's preference among the three daughters was probably because Meng Jie was the most similar to her in temperament.
When he was about to open his mouth to smooth things over, he saw Meng Qing opened his mouth first, "Fifth sister, your joke is a bit too much." Although Meng Qing still had a smile on his face when he said this, The gaze that looked at Meng Jie was very sharp and cold.
Meng Jie was always afraid of this elder sister, so she could only follow her words and said to Meng Xue: "Eldest sister, I was just joking, and elder sister also knows me, so don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Her words rounded off the scene, and the atmosphere that was a little stiff was better now.
Although Meng Xue hated Meng Jie, today was her big day, and she didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Meng Jie here, so she had to keep it in her heart first, thinking that she must repay her well when she has a chance in the future.But right now, he still has to laugh and say it's okay.
Although this happened in the middle, Meng Qing's witty remark later, Xue Baochai's mouth softened, so the atmosphere in the room was not bad.
Not long after, Father Meng dragged Mr. Zhou out, saying that he was going to the study.
In this regard, everyone naturally has no meaning.
When Father Meng left with Young Master Zhou, the atmosphere in the room eased up again, and the conversation among the female relatives and sisters in the room became more lively.
Mrs. Liu is not Meng Xue's biological mother, and she also has something to discuss with Mrs. Cao.Soon he found an excuse and sent a group of girls out.However, this is exactly what Xue Baochai meant. With regard to Meng Xue's matter, she has already gone 99 steps, and now she is not short of the last step.
He dragged Meng Xue into his yard, looked him up and down, and asked with concern, "How is Uncle Zhou treating you?"
After all, Meng Xue is a newlywed woman. When she heard Xue Baochai's words, she immediately lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, her voice was a little low but she was sure, "Please trouble my sister-in-law to think about it, and she treated me very well."
Only then did Xue Baochai nod her head. In fact, seeing Meng Xue's face like a peach blossom, she knew she was doing very well. Although this was the third time seeing Mr. Zhou, she boasted that she had a good eye for people. This person's character can't be bad, otherwise Meng Shihan would have raised objections a long time ago.After asking some more questions, seeing that Meng Xue seemed to be a little absent-minded, she changed her mind and knew what she was thinking at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you're doing well, so I don't worry about it. I'll wait until you come back." Yangzhou also has an explanation for your eldest brother. I have nothing else to do here. Your aunt has been waiting for you for a long time, although it is not easy to stay for a long time, but you came out of her belly, and you are a mother and daughter. Let’s talk about it .”
When Meng Xue heard Xue Baochai's words, although she blushed and felt embarrassed, she didn't know what to say.
After a pause, he added, "I have asked someone to invite Aunt Li, and she should be here by now. You can go directly to the side hall."
Seeing Xue Baochai's thoughtfulness, Meng Xue was naturally very grateful.Facing Xue Baochai, he blessed Fushen and thanked him.
If she came back like this, she must go back before noon, otherwise it would be unlucky.And although Aunt Li is Meng Xue's biological mother, her identity is just that of an aunt, and she is not qualified to appear on occasions like today.If it wasn't for Xue Baochai's arrangement, she wouldn't be able to see Aunt Li today at all.
Naturally, Meng Xue was not indebted to Xue Baochai.
"Big girl, come here and let Auntie take a good look." Although Aunt Li is a Buddhist practitioner, she is very concerned about Meng Xue, the only daughter. When Xue Baochai went to call, she came first by herself.Meng Xuecai got married for the past few days, and her heart has been hanging all the time, but now seeing Meng Xue, thousands of words can only be fused into this sentence.
Meng Xue also went over very obediently, letting Aunt Li look at her, and said: "Auntie, don't worry. Yanzhi's house is cleaner than ours, and I don't have any parents-in-law or sister-in-law who want me to take care of her. Yanzhi is also a gentle person who treats his daughter well. Very good." Mr. Zhou's name is Kun, and the words say it.
Now that Meng Xue has only been married for three days, she calls Mr. Zhou a nickname, which shows that he is also very satisfied with Meng Xue.
Aunt Li is a smart person. Hearing Meng Xue's words, she was relieved.Although she has a basketful of heartfelt things to say to her daughter, but the time is limited now, she can only pick up the important ones and tell Meng Xue.There are no parents-in-law and sister-in-law to serve at Mr. Zhou's house, so Meng Xue will be much cleaner. As long as he gets along well with Mr. Zhou, he will not be afraid of having a bad life in the future.
"Auntie, what happened to Aunt Cao and Cousin Huan? You didn't even know that I was surprised to see them there when I walked in the door?" Speaking of this, Meng Xue also felt a little dissatisfied.Today is her homecoming day. Although Cao Shi and Liu Yuhuan are relatives in the family, they are still outsiders after all, so how can they be present here.It's just that Meng's father didn't speak, even if she was dissatisfied, she didn't say it.At this time, there were only Meng Xue and Aunt Li's mother and daughter, so she couldn't help it.
Aunt Li patted the back of Meng Xue's hand affectionately, and said with a sneer, "I don't even know what the idea is? Baba came here and said he was giving you a wedding but he was lazy at home and didn't leave. I'm afraid he hasn't given up yet." Well." Speaking of this, Aunt Li felt that Liu's eyes were really blurred. Meng Shihan is the only brother in the family, and now the master is getting older. Even if the child in Aunt Tao's belly is a brother, He Han My brother is also a little older, and he is still a bastard.
Liu has no children and only three daughters, so she still has a good relationship with Meng Shihan, and she likes to add fuel to the flames, for fear that her relationship with Brother Han will improve.
If she does this, her three daughters will leave the cabinet in the future, so don't point at Brother Han to make decisions for her daughters.
However, although her temperament is a bit unqualified as a housewife, it is excellent for them.
When Meng Xue heard Aunt Li's words, she didn't understand at first, but soon thought of something, her eyes were slightly rounded, and she said in disbelief: "No way. Could it be that she is still thinking about it? Is this going to work?"
Aunt Li nodded, and said sarcastically, "That's not what it means."
"She really dares to think about it." Meng Xue said with a sigh.
Not only did he buy a dowry of 56 liters for Meng Xue, but he also gave away his face outside to help the poor people.
Although Xue Baochai said that she was a sister-in-law, but because the Liu family was unreliable, Meng's father was really worried, so he left most of the things to Xue Baochai.Therefore, Xue Baochai was busy arranging and busying Meng Xue's marriage, but in the end, most of the benefits went to the Liu family.

Although Liu Shi was also a little bit annoyed that Xue Baochai was so generous to Meng Xue, but listening to the compliments from outside, she felt much more at ease.He also thought that Meng Xue, a concubine, was so generous when she married Xue Baochai. When Meng Qing and Meng Jie were married, they must be more generous than they are now. After all, Meng Qing and Meng Jie are Meng Shihan's direct sisters.
Although she was a little confused, she didn't finish being confused. When she thought about it, she didn't bring Meng Han with her.Knowing that although Meng Han is also surnamed Meng now, she is not the daughter of the Meng family.
After Meng Xue got married.
Xue Baochai didn't relax here either, but started to prepare something to return to Yangzhou.After Meng Xue came back, it would take four or five days at most, and she should go back.But before she leaves, she has a lot of busy time.
