Tie Kui Extra Story (87)

Ruhui ate well during confinement, and had no worries, and had enough milk. By the time of the full moon, Shi Yin has been raised fat and white. It's the patriarchal old Mrs. Meng, who likes it when she looks at it.

Shiyin planned ten tables for the full moon banquet, and all the guests were close relatives and those who had a particularly good relationship. Ruhui felt that the number of tables was too small, but the old lady had already made concessions, even if Ruhui was dissatisfied, she could only endure it.

Although Xiao's family is not in the capital, the full moon ceremony for Shi Yin has been prepared long ago. Two wreath necklaces, two red gold longevity locks, a pair of red gold bracelets, a pair of red gold anklets, six sets of clothes, shoes and socks.

When it was time for the full moon banquet, Ruhui gave Shi Yin a red gold necklace with rubies inlaid in it.

Meng Ranxi said: "This ring is bigger than my daughter's head, so let's wait until the child is older!" This ring is very valuable, but there is no need to show it off.

"Just let the child wear it for a day, so as to save those people in the house from gossiping, saying that my natal family didn't prepare a full moon gift for Shi Yin." The Xiao family treated the two daughters equally, and Ruyi's two sons also received the same gift.

Meng Ranxi said with some guilt: "I have made you wronged." Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng have been saying that the second wife is a burden many years ago. Those servants also look at the dishes, and they are very neglectful of the people in the second room. Fortunately, he can study in the future, which is valued by his grandfather, and these talents restrained a little. It's just that he didn't expect that his wife and children would be enraged now.

Ruhui said, "Sir, I didn't say that the eldest aunt and the third aunt are too fussy about money." If Meng Ran wants to spend a lot of time, they should be dissatisfied. But they are just normal expenses, and the two rooms are like black corns.

Lan's years of taking medicine cost a lot, and the two rooms have long been dissatisfied with it. After Lan's illness passed away, the accumulated resentment has not disappeared. Meng Ranxi married a rich man like Ruhui again. It's a pity that they can't take advantage of it. New and old grudges, naturally more words.

Meng Ranxi said, "Don't argue with them. After I become an official, we'll let it go." At that time, Ruhui and the child won't have to suffer.

In fact, Ru Hui has a pungent temper, and Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng did not dare to provoke her, and the two of them at most just whispered behind their backs. If you want to change your personality and weaker personality, you will be bullied to death.

After the full moon banquet, Ruhui devoted herself to taking care of the children. As for the housekeeper's errand, Grandma Meng didn't mention it, and she didn't say anything.

Today she was teasing Shi Yin when she saw Grandma Meng coming over. His eyes were red, obviously from crying.

Ruhui hurriedly asked Maisui to carry Shiyin down, and said, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Grandma Meng knew that Ruhui's mouth was tight,

What you say to her will not be passed on.

Ruhui was not surprised to hear that Meng Guangpeng's concubine was pregnant. But Ruhui likes the gentle and generous Grandma Meng very much: "Sister-in-law, if you don't hurry to go to elder brother's place, this child is just the beginning, and children from concubines will be born one after another in the future."

Grandma Meng burst into tears again: "I want to go too, but my mother won't let me."

Ruhui rolled her eyes directly: "If she won't let me, won't you think of a way to go? Grandma likes her great-grandson so much, so you tell her that you only have Brother Qing, and you don't even have a brother who will help each other when you grow up. Grandmother listened, and I promise to let you take up the post." As long as the old lady opened her mouth, Mrs. Meng would have nothing to do even if she disagreed.

Grandma Meng wiped away her tears and said, "My brother and sister, thank you very much." Regardless of whether it is useful or not, she will accept it.

Not long after, Mrs. Meng really asked Grandma Meng to take her two children to Hunan. Mrs. Meng didn't want to, but she was scolded bloody by Mrs. Meng. Then, she said that she wanted to keep her eldest grandson, but Mrs. Meng didn't agree.

As for Mrs. Meng's virtue, Zeng Changsun stayed with her, he was afraid that the child would have the same virtue as her in the future.

Grandma Meng still had a bitter face when she was outside, there was nothing she could do, Mrs. Meng was torturing her hard these days. But when she arrived at Ruhui's place, a smile appeared on her face. It's worth a few days of suffering for a few years of comfortable life.

After thanking Ruhui, Grandma Meng took her two children to Hunan to find Meng Guangpeng.

As soon as Grandma Meng left, Mrs. Meng wanted to hand over the housekeeping to Ruhui. It's a pity that Ruhui didn't want to take over, she only said that Shiyin wasn't enough to take care of her, and she really didn't have the energy to take care of other things.

Mrs. Meng couldn't help but complained to Meng Shilang: "If you don't want her to be a housekeeper, you can't do anything, so what can you rely on her in the future?"

Mr. Meng asked, "What do you want to rely on her for?"

The husband and wife have gone through ups and downs, and their relationship is very deep. Mrs. Meng would not hide many things from her husband: "I originally thought that Ran Xi's daughter-in-law would be able to do business with a lively mind, and I also wanted to let her run a few shops at home. Now it seems that I may not be able to." He doesn't even want to take care of the housework, let alone help with the family's shop.

The four shops opened by the Meng family in the past few years also earned four to five thousand taels of silver every year. But in the past few years, it has become more and more difficult to do business, and the Meng family has no one who is good at doing business. Of the four shops, two are in deficit, and the other two are barely making ends meet.

The income has decreased, but the number of people in the family is increasing and the expenses are increasing. Although Meng Xuemin is a minister, but now the officials are clear and bright, if he dares to make money, he will soon be thrown into prison. So when Mrs. Meng told Meng Ranxi that money was tight at home, it was not an excuse.

Meng Shangshu said: "Those shops didn't make money, so they rented out the business." After all, the locations of these shops are good, and they can collect a few rents every year.

Mrs. Meng said: "When I was in Uncle Anyang's mansion, the general affairs and the shop were well organized. When you marry into Meng's family, you have limited energy and can't keep busy." It's completely evasive, just unwilling to contribute.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Meng said: "Even A-Jiao's marriage, I don't want to ask her to help you find out." Except for the nice name, it really feels useless to get married.

Mr. Meng smiled wryly. Ning Shi is a smart person, and she knows that she is not the one who will benefit from all the hard work. So, naturally, she was unwilling to contribute: "She is not the eldest daughter-in-law, she just wants to live her own life behind closed doors and let her do it! As for the marriage of the children of the second wife, you should pay more attention to it! "

Mrs. Meng muttered: "Look at those old ladies who are my age, who are not spoiling their grandchildren? But I still have to worry about the marriage of my grandchildren. I thought I could relax when Ran Xi's daughter-in-law came in. But I didn't expect that I don't care about everything. Now, I have to run around for them with my old bones." She was really impatient with the outside entertainment, but if she didn't go out, she couldn't say goodbye to her grandchildren .

The eldest grandson and daughter-in-law are too submissive and have no courage to intimidate the people in the mansion. Ran Xi's wife has the courage, but because she is the second wife, she doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the mansion.

Hearing this, Mr. Meng said, "At least with Ning Shi here, Ran Xi doesn't need you to worry about it."

Mrs. Meng had nothing to say. Ruhui took very good care of Meng Ranxi, even she couldn't fault it.

Old Man Meng said: "As long as she can be a good helper to Ran Xi, that's enough, don't force anything else."

Mrs. Meng came back to her senses and blamed herself a little: "Hey, why am I telling you this. You have to be busy with outside affairs, so how can you worry about family affairs." A thoughtful one.

Meng Shangshu said: "After a while, let the boss come back! Let the boss take care of all the family affairs."

Mrs. Meng did not refuse this time.

In a blink of an eye, there is only more than a month before the exam. Ruhui thinks it's good to treat her with a normal heart, but Mrs. Meng San feels like an enemy. The cicadas on the tree kept chirping, so she had someone catch them, and after two days of tossing, they still couldn't clean them up. He also clamored to cut down all the trees, but was scolded by the old lady and stopped. As a result, within two days, she forbade the people in the house to yell loudly, which made the maids and women at home have to stand on tiptoe when walking.

Thinking that the food in the second room was good, Mrs. Meng San approached Ruhui and said that Mrs. Li's food was delicious and nutritious, so she asked Mrs. Li to make a copy for Meng Guangwu as well.

Ruhui didn't refuse, just said that she had to pay for the food.

When Mrs. Meng San asked for money, she immediately changed her face. He also said that Ruhui is petty, but asking for money just to eat a few meals, it's just a loss of money.

Ruhui chuckled lightly and said: "No way, Shiyin's father spends a lot on studying now. The family has no other income, and now all the flowers are spent on my dowry. You can't plan carefully. The third aunt is generous and uses the money to go to the university. In the kitchen, let them cook a small stove for Fifth Brother."

In the evening, Ruhui told Meng Ranxi about this, and said, "Even if I don't take money, she won't say hello to me. Even when the time comes, she will dislike me for treating his son badly with useless materials."

Meng Ranxi said: "You are right in refusing. With Guangwu's talents, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the exam this time. With the unreasonable temperament of the third aunt, Guangwu may blame you for failing the exam. "Meng Guangwu is very hardworking, but lacks talent. Don't mention this time, it may not be possible to pass the exam in another three years.

Ruhui hummed and said, "Master, I didn't say that, you better not stay at home to study. The atmosphere at home is too tense, which made me feel very nervous."

Meng Ranxi smiled wryly, "Where can I go if I'm not at home?" Meng Guangwu was so nervous that he always liked to come to him. No matter how calm he was, he was still affected.

Ruhui said: "Go to the Lan's family! The atmosphere of their family is very good." The Lan's family is a real scholarly family, and the Meng's family is far behind.

Meng Ranxi wanted to go to Lan's family to study, but they didn't have any friendship with Lan's family.

"Ah Zhan and Lan Yanghui, the young master of the Lan family, are close friends. It just so happens that Master Lan is also going to take the imperial examination. I'll ask Ah Zhan to tell him, it should be fine."

Lan Yanghui was Xie Yuan in the last provincial examination, and he was extremely talented and talented. If she could review with him, Meng Ran wished for it. Meng Ranxi was a little embarrassed to bother her brother-in-law.

"Sir, the atmosphere at home is really not suitable for studying." This is a major matter related to the future, how can Sanfang be held back.

Meng Ranxi nodded and said, "Okay." He took note of his brother-in-law's affection.

When Ning Zhan came forward, Lan Yanghui immediately sent out an invitation. Meng Ranxi reported back to Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng, and with their consent, she went to Lan's house the next day.
