Tie Kui Extra Story (64)

Ruhui believed in Ning Zhan, but Meng Ranxi's family background really made her feel at ease: "Then what if he wants to be like the second master Meng, and spoil his concubine and kill his wife in the future?"

Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "Second Sister, no one dares to guarantee this matter. But the reason he studied hard to gain fame is to have a better future. As long as he grows his brains, he won't dare to act like a concubine. wife. Otherwise, his years of hard work would have been in vain."

The preferences of the superiors have a huge impact. In today's officialdom, no one dares to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife blatantly. Otherwise, just wait to lose the black hat!

Ning Zhan said: "If he really has no brains and dares to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, you can go home with Li. With me here, you have a place in this family." In fact, even if everything is good now, in the future Can't tell. The only guarantee he can give is that if Ruhui's life is not going well, she will go home deliberately.

These words greatly pleased Ruhui.

Ruhui said with a smile on her face: "Since you said so, then I will meet him first!" If it feels good, then make a decision. If it's not good, forget it.

Surely we can't meet in private, it's too menglang. Maybe it would scare Meng Ranxi away. The siblings would not do such a stupid thing.

Mrs. Xiao knew that Meng Ranxi was the eldest son of the second room of the Meng family, so she objected without even thinking about it: "No, there is an old saying that a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will make a hole when it is born. Then the second master Meng Everyone knows that spoiling concubines and destroying wives. This Meng Ranxi will definitely be a spoiled concubine and destroy wives like his father in the future."

Ning Zhan retorted: "Mother, there is an old saying called "influenced by ears and eyes". Meng Ranxi was taught by Meng Shilang since she was a child. Mother, Meng Shilang did not spoil concubines and destroy wives." Pit.

Xiao Shi fell silent. In fact, children are more influenced by those who teach them.

Ning Zhan said: "Mom, apart from having a father who spoils his concubine and kills his wife, Meng Ranxi is no worse than Gu Pengyu in every aspect. He is also famous for his career and is now studying in Baitan Academy."

Seeing that his son and daughter were optimistic about this Meng Ranxi, Xiao Shi hesitated and said, "Let me consider this matter." It was mainly the first two that made Xiao Shi lose confidence.

Seeing this, Ruhui said, "Mother, you should meet Meng Ranxi first. If you don't like it, forget it." If Meng Ranxi is really that good, her mother will definitely like it. If it's not good, forget it. She is still young, so don't worry.

Ning Zhan immediately said, "I'll arrange this." It's too time-consuming to meet by chance, and it's unnecessary, just make an appointment to meet.

Qiyou works in the household department,

I can meet Meng Shilang every day. When he saw Meng Shilang the next day, he said with a smile, "Is Meng Ranxi at home? Ning Zhan said that if he is free, he would like to invite him to dinner." Talking to the female family members of the Meng family in a roundabout manner, it is better to be direct Tell Meng Shilang. Even if it fails, Meng Shilang will not reveal anything. But this woman is not necessarily, he has never seen a few women with strict mouths.

Meng Shilang was taken aback, but quickly smiled and said, "I don't know why Uncle Anyang is looking for him?" Ning Zhan's reputation in the capital is not obvious, but he has a father who holds a heavy soldier and Qiyou's companion , In fact, it has attracted the attention of many people.

Qiyou said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not a bad thing." But with Meng Xuemin's shrewdness, he can probably guess the reason when he goes home and asks.

Meng Xuemin was relieved when he heard that, as long as his grandson didn't offend Uncle Anyang's son, "Ran Xi will come home at noon tomorrow, and I can stay at home for two days." The second room has him, so I don't have to worry about it in the future.

"Then make it tomorrow afternoon, don't pick a place, just use the Fortune Restaurant."

After the two talked, Meng Xuemin sent his confidants to Baitan Academy to call Meng Ranxi home at night.

When Meng Ranxi got home in the evening, she went directly to the study in the front yard to find Meng Shilang. Specially calling him back must be something important.

Hearing that Ning Zhan invited him to dinner, Meng Ranxi felt a little strange: "Grandfather, although I have met Uncle Anyang twice, we have never talked."

At that time, Ning Zhan followed Qiyou, and he guessed his identity. Because Qiyou only has two companions, one Xu Chengze and Ning Zhan. The two look very different, easy to identify.

Meng Xuemin said: "The second girl in Uncle Anyang's mansion is not engaged yet, and she is seeing her now." It was also what Qiyou said was not a bad thing, and he guessed Ning Zhan's purpose after he went home and asked his wife.

Meng Ranxi was very surprised: "Grandfather, you mean that Uncle Anyang has taken a fancy to me?" This is strange, he has never been in contact with Uncle Anyang, how did the other party fall in love with him.

"I asked your grandmother, and she said that the second daughter of the Ning family is smart and capable. She not only managed Uncle Anyang's mansion in an orderly manner at a young age, but also opened a teahouse by herself. That shop can earn thousands of taels of silver a year." People know that the annual income of the teahouse is seven or eight hundred taels. But outsiders don't know the inside story, so they naturally think big.

Naturally, Meng Shilang didn't take the thousand eight hundred taels of silver seriously, but through this matter, it can be seen that the second girl of the Ning family is not ordinary. If Meng Ranxi married her, it would be of great benefit to her future.

Meng Ranxi was silent for a while and said, "Grandfather, how is the second girl from the Ning family?"

Meng Shilang smiled and said: "Your grandmother said that the second girl Ning is a bit hot-tempered, but she is reasonable." As for Ruhui's appearance, he didn't ask at all. Marrying a daughter-in-law is mainly based on character and ability, and these two things are enough. Appearance, as long as it is passable. Looking at Uncle Anyang's appearance, he knew that the second girl of the Ning family was not far behind.

"Grandfather, I know what to do." Meng Ranxi thought differently from ordinary people. He didn't like weak women and only wanted to marry a strong girl. This way you won’t run into something and feel like the sky is falling.

Meng Shilang was still at ease with Meng Ranxi, nodded and said, "Go back! If you need anything, just talk to your grandmother." As for the second son's daughter-in-law, forget it, it's good that she doesn't drag her grandson down.

After Meng Ranxi left the study, she went back to the backyard to visit Mrs. Meng Er.

Seeing her son, Mrs. Meng Er showed a rare smile on her face. But before she could speak, there was a violent cough.

Seeing the scarlet blood on the Jinpa, Meng Ranxi's complexion changed drastically, and she shouted, "Doctor, hurry up and call for a doctor."

Meng Er's wife, Lan Shi, shook her head and said: "Xi'er, no need, it's useless to call the doctor."

Meng Ranxi understood as soon as she heard it, this was not the first time she had coughed up blood. At that moment, his eyes were red: "Mother, why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"

A pale smile appeared on Lan's face: "Xie'er, mother is fine, you don't have to worry about mother."

These words not only did not comfort Meng Ranxi, but made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Lan's changed the subject and asked: "The college is on vacation tomorrow, why did you come back today?"

Meng Ranxi didn't hide it, and said, "Grandfather has something to ask me to come back. It's nothing, but Uncle Anyang wants to invite me to dinner."

Lan's been sick all the time, but he cared about his son no less. Hearing this, she asked: "You don't seem to be familiar with Uncle Anyang?"

Meng Ranxi knew that Lan Shi had always wanted to see him get married and have children, and he also wanted to fulfill Lan's wish earlier. Unfortunately, Meng Shilang and Mrs. Meng did not agree. Meng Shilang said that with his current conditions, he couldn't find a good girl, and he had to pass the Jinshi exam to marry him. But Ruhui's conditions are so good, even if Meng Ranxi got a Jinshi in the examination, he might not talk about such a good piano, so he let go.

The matter has not been settled yet, he was afraid that he would make Lan Shikong happy if he said it. Meng Ranxi shook her head and said, "I don't know, but my grandfather said that I know more people and more connections."

Knowing that Meng Shilang relied heavily on his son, Lan felt relieved after hearing this: "Then you get along well with Uncle Anyang's son, and don't make him unhappy."

Meng Ranxi nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing that Ning Zhan invited Meng Ranxi to have dinner at Fuyun Restaurant, Ruhui said he would go too.

Xiao Shi was not happy anymore: "After I see you, it won't be too late to arrange for you to meet."

Ruhui said: "Mom, I haven't eaten at Fuyun Restaurant for a long time." She especially likes the eight-treasure duck and steamed pork in the restaurant. I used to go to eat once a month, but recently I'm not in the mood to go because of worries about my marriage.

Xiao felt that Ruhui was too prodigal, but Ning Hai said that the reason he made money was to let the children live a good life, and she couldn't control Ruhui. So, I can only go with her.

Ning Zhan said, "Mother, you can look at him in the box then!" He arranged the box near the stairs so that they would be able to see Meng Ranxi when he went upstairs.

Xiao Shi lost his temper: "It's up to you!"

Meng Ranxi wanted to make a good impression on Ning Zhan, so she arrived at Fuyun Building two quarters of an hour early. At this time, Xiao Shi and Ru Hui had just entered the box.

Hearing that Meng Ranxi had already arrived, Ruhui said, "It's quite early."

Ning Zhan said with a smile: "This shows that he is very sincere." Knowing that he came early, he was also interested in this marriage.

The sons and daughters are so thoughtful, which often makes Xiao feel powerless: "Perhaps the second son Meng doesn't even know why you invited him to dinner."

Ning Zhan smiled. Meng Shilang has been in the officialdom for so many years, how could he not be able to see through such a trivial matter.

Ruhui's gaze immediately fell on Meng Ranxi who was led upstairs by Xiaoer.

Today, Meng Ranxi was wearing a brocade round neck gown that was about 70% green in Hsinchu leaves, and tied her hair with a ribbon of the same color. He is a little thin, but he looks very slender in this way. He looks handsome and has fair skin. But looking at him, apart from the calmness Ning Zhan said, he also has a little more forbearance.

Even Xiao Shi, who was originally very resistant to this marriage, could not find fault with Meng Ranxi's appearance.

Ruhui asked: "Brother, is he having a bad time in Meng's house?" Otherwise, he would not have come out wearing old clothes if he knew that he was being watched by a relative.

Ning Zhan smiled and said: "No. Meng Shilang and Mrs. Meng treated him very well. But this time I invited him to dinner, not to meet you, so I didn't deliberately change clothes!" The last time I saw Meng Ran Xi, I also saw him dressed so plainly. Of course, if you still dress like this when you come to see Ruhui, then there is no need to waste any more time.

Ruhui nodded.
