Tie Kui Extra Story (63)
The Ning family is rich and powerful, and Ning Ruhui is so capable. Many wives are very fond of her, and there are quite a few who ask middlemen to help them through the conversation. The Xiao family carefully selected two families, one was Gu Pengyu from the Gu family, and the other was Chen Zichen, the eldest grandson of Chen Lei, the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
With Gu Pengyu's matter first, when Xiao Shi talked about Chen Zichen, Ruhui said: "Mother, let Ning Zhan find out the details of this Chen Zichen first!" If Ning Zhan thinks it's okay, it's not too late to meet again. If it was like Gu Pengyu, she fell in love with him, but he looked down on her, so there was no need to waste time and affection.
Xiao finally understood, and said, "It's Ah Zhan who thinks that the young master of the Gu family is not good, so you disagree?" She said that Ruhui clearly fell in love with Gu Pengyu at Lingshan Temple, but after thinking about it for two days, she regretted it.
Ruhui didn't deny it, and said directly: "Ah Zhan said that Gu Pengyu only likes beauties, he doesn't like me like this, and this person also regards money as dung."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao asked half-believingly, "Gu Pengyu doesn't like you? Are you serious?"
"That's what Ah Zhan said. If you don't believe me, you can ask him when he comes back." After calming down, she thought about the scene of the meeting, and even asked the confidant maid who was by her side at that time.
She had already rejected the kiss when she asked, and the maid beside her didn't have any worries. It is said that when Gu Pengyu first saw Ruhui, his eyes showed disappointment.
Hearing what the confidant maid said, Ruhui was secretly glad that she was not dazzled by the beauty. Otherwise, if you really marry Gu Pengyu, you won't have a good life.
Xiao Shi naturally believed Ning Zhan, and she was very angry when she heard this: "Since I don't like you, why do you come to talk about marriage? Isn't this playing us like monkeys?" For mothers, their own children That's all the best.
It's all in the past, and Ruhui feels that it's useless to dwell on it: "Mother, let Ah Zhan find out about Chen Zichen's details first!" If there is no problem, then see you. If there is a problem, there is no need to see it.
Unexpectedly, on the evening of the second day, Ning Zhan said to Ruhui, "Second sister, Mrs. Chen's niece and grandniece lived in the Chen family six years ago. Yesterday, Chen Zichen took this cousin girl to the street to buy things. "Of course, it wasn't just two people shopping yesterday, there were also Chen Zichen's own sister and two cousins. The Chen family also followed the rules, and it was impossible for them to come out alone.
Ruhui was very disgusted when she heard this, and said, "And then?" Whoever heard that the blind date went shopping with her cousin felt uncomfortable.
Ning Zhan said: "The cousin girl looked at Chen Zichen with love. And Chen Zichen greeted her with a very friendly attitude."
Ru Hui's face suddenly darkened: "So,
Are they interested in Lang Youqing's concubine? "Since I have a sweetheart, I still come to her house to propose some kind of marriage.
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know if Lang is interested in concubines or not. But they have been together for six years, so it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is naturally different."
Ruhui doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has learned from Nanny Dai for these years, and she often goes out to socialize these years. I have a deep understanding of some things in the back house.
"Mother told me that Mrs. Chen fell in love with me, but according to what you said, this Mrs. Chen probably wants to marry her grandniece to Chen Zichen. There is no consensus between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." That is, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fighting in secret.
Ruhui had never met Chen Zichen, and had no idea about him. Hearing this, she couldn't help complaining immediately: "Aren't you going to inquire about what's going on, Aunt?" Thinking of Gu Pengyu again, Ruhui felt as disgusted as swallowing a fly. What do you think of her one by one!
Ning Zhan said: "Second Sister, this matter should not be rushed, you have to take your time." It took him two years to choose Peng Kangshun.
Ruhui hummed and said, "I'd rather be later than to be fooled by them." This is a lifelong event, if you don't inquire carefully, it will be too late to find out after you get married.
This time, the siblings did not hide the truth from Xiao Shi, and directly told about the situation of the Chen family.
Ruhui couldn't help complaining: "Mother, Chen Zichen has a love affair with his cousin Lang and is interested in a concubine. If I marry in the past, will I still have a good life?"
Men think differently from women. Ning Zhan felt that Chen Zichen might not know that his cousin had feelings for him. After all, men are careless. But Ruhui didn't think so, passers-by could tell that the cousin loved him very much. Unless Chen Zichen was blind, he was pretending to be confused. Either way, you can't get married.
Xiao couldn't believe it: "Maybe Ah Zhan made a mistake?"
Ruhui laughed angrily: "Mother, do you want me to wash my face with tears every day in the Chen family, so that you are satisfied?"
Xiao Shi was a little discouraged: "I'm not satisfied, so I just refused." This one or two, no matter what.
However, Xiao's words were not so graceful this time, she directly lost her temper with the person who helped her talk: "Since the young master of the Chen family loves his cousin, and also said that he likes my family Ruhui, why are you so at ease?" If Ruruhui's life is not good in the future, her husband and children will blame her.
Hearing the middleman's misunderstanding, Xiao pulled his face and said: "My son saw them flirting in the street the day before yesterday, so could it be a misunderstanding?" The siblings were vague, which led Xiao to think that Ning Zhan saw it with his own eyes.
The middleman apologized repeatedly after hearing the words. She really didn't know that Chen Zichen liked his cousin, if she knew, she would definitely not help spread the word. As a result, she is not a human being inside and out.
When Mrs. Chen heard the reasons of the Ning family, her face was extremely gloomy. She was not angry with Ning's family, but with Peng Yun, the cousin who lived at home. Her attitude was already obvious, but this stinky girl still wanted to get close to her son, causing the Ning family to misunderstand her.
Ru Hui is smart and capable, and has a father who holds a heavy soldier in his hand and a younger brother who is on good terms with the prince. Marrying her will definitely give Chen Zichen a huge boost in the future. But such a good relationship was ruined by Peng Yun.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally Mrs. Chen slapped her hands and said, "No, I have to settle Zichen's marriage as soon as possible." Otherwise, outsiders would think that his son was attracted to that stinky girl, and his son would not be able to marry a girl from a good family background.
Xiao's is unreliable, so Ning Zhan can only do it by himself. For Ruhui's marriage, he deserves to start paying attention to a man of the same age as Ruhui who is not engaged.
It's a pity that Ning Zhan's friends are all the children of generals. He didn't know many children of civil servants. The few people I knew were either married or not outstanding.
Qiyou looked at him getting angry because of this matter, and said: "Isn't it fine for your mother to worry about this matter?"
"Hey, don't mention my mother." With Gu Pengyu and Chen Zichen in front, even Ruhui didn't believe in Xiao Shi, let alone Ning Zhan.
Qiyou shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let me offer you a personal choice!"
"Your Highness, tell me quickly." Qiyou said that he must be a good person.
Qiyou said: "Meng Xuemin's grandson Meng Ranxi. This kid is good-looking and talented. He took the provincial examination with Gu Pengyu, and he was twenty-three at the time." The family situation is naturally also understood.
Hearing that Meng Ranxi was seventeen, Ning Zhan asked, "Why isn't he engaged?"
Qiyou said: "Meng Ranxi is the eldest son of the second room, but his father doted on his concubine and killed his wife and was driven back to his hometown by Meng Shilang. He has been eating and drinking in his hometown all these years. And his mother has been ill in bed all year round and has to eat every day. Medicine. He has good personal conditions, but he is held back by his parents."
Ning Zhan couldn't help frowning when he heard Meng Ranxi's condition.
Qiyou said: "I have met Meng Ranxi several times. Although she is only seventeen years old, she is very stable."
Ning Zhan hesitated: "His father dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife, so there will definitely be troubles in the future."
"Your worry is completely unnecessary. What does his father dote on his concubine and kill his wife? What's the matter with your sister? Besides, Meng Shilang is still here! Meng Shilang is in very good health, and he can live another twenty or thirty years. With him, The Second Master Meng can only be a quail. As for that concubine, Meng Ranxi's mother-in-law Baozi can't beat her, so could it be that your sister can't beat her?" Just like Hui Na's fighting power, no matter how powerful the concubine is, she is not afraid.
Ning Zhan thought for a while and said, "I'll ask my second sister what she thinks about this first." If Ruhui doesn't dislike Meng Ranxi's messy family environment, then he will get in touch with Meng Ranxi.
Qiyou hummed and said, "Ah Zhan, nothing is perfect in this world." Even his eldest sister has to face the mess of the Wu family!
Ning Zhan first sent someone to inquire about the situation of the second room of the Meng family, and then took an opportunity to meet Meng Ranxi. Seeing that he was really good-looking and polite to others, he went home and told Ruhui about it.
When Ruhui heard Ning Zhan say that Meng Ranxi was the eldest son of the Meng family's second wife, she immediately frowned: "The Meng family's second wife? The second master of the Meng family who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife?"
Because Yuxi hates people who dote on concubines and kill wives the most, once you are sure about this, don't do it as an official. As long as officials want to have a smooth official career, they dare not go against Yu Xi's wishes. Even if he dotes on a concubine's room, he doesn't dare to show it clearly, at most he will help secretly. But the second master Meng is a weirdo, he miscarried his wife who was six months pregnant for a concubine.
At that time, Master Meng Er was working in the Ministry of Industry, and he was still an official of the eighth rank! As soon as this incident happened, the censor impeached him. Soon the official was slapped, and it was the kind that would never be hired.
The child does not teach, the father too. If Meng Shilang hadn't belonged to Han Jianming, he would have been implicated as well. So when this incident happened, Meng Shilang immediately sent him to his hometown, and asked the old servant not to allow him to commit crimes. And Meng Ranxi's mother was injured because of the miscarriage, and the favored concubine was actually her distant cousin, so she completely broke down in anger.
Ning Zhan said: "Master Meng is right to dote on his concubine and destroy his wife, but Meng Ranxi keeps himself clean." What about Master Meng has nothing to do with Ru Hui.
Ruhui asked: "What about his mother? How good-tempered?"
Ning Zhan said: "Mrs. Meng Er is at the end of her strength, and she won't last long." So there is no need to inquire about the temperament of Er Er Meng.
