Tie Kui Extra Story (Ninety)
As soon as Mrs. Xiao returned to the capital, she came to visit Ruhui and her niece.
Seeing Ruhui, Xiao asked worriedly: "Why did you lose so much weight? Is it because the child is too much trouble?" Ruhui is not a person who swallows his anger, and is not afraid of being bullied.
Ruhui hummed and said, "I haven't had a good appetite all the time, but don't worry, mother, it's much better now. It won't take long, and it will definitely come back." In fact, Mrs. Meng San was annoyed during this time, which affected her appetite. After finishing speaking, Ruhui said: "Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time. In two days, I'll go home and stay for a while!"
The Xiao family was naturally eager, fearing that the Meng family would disagree. After all, you are married, so you can't do whatever you want
Ru Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ran Xi will definitely agree." Her husband still didn't say anything to her.
When Meng Ranxi heard that Ruhui was going to live with her natal family for a period of time, he objected, fearing that Mrs. Meng would disagree.
Ruhui said with a bitter face: "Master, my third aunt comes here every day and says she wants to do business with me, I am really annoyed. Sir, please let me go back to my mother's house for half a month, and let me spend my time quietly!" Meng San After the wife recovered from her illness, she thought it was still reliable to do business. She doesn't know how to do business by herself, and her daughter-in-law is useless. Seeing that Ruhui's two shops are booming, she wants to do business with her.
Doing business with Mrs. Meng San, she's out of her mind. If you make money, you will have to say something nice at most, but if you lose money, you will have to pay her back. Otherwise, she would be sick again, but her whole body would be fishy.
Meng Ranxi sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I'll tell my grandmother to let you go back and live for a month!"
"You don't need to go, just let my mother talk about it." After finishing speaking, Ru Hui sighed and said, "Master, I hope you will be released as soon as possible." Leaving this wonderful Mrs. Meng San, live a clean life.
Meng Ranxi felt a little guilty: "Be patient. I will be released after I have worked in the bureaucracy for three years." His wife has made money from business, which is a good thing for their small family. But the members of the Meng family were so jealous that they wanted a piece of the pie. But the two shops were opened by Ruhui at her mother's house, so they had the nerve to open their mouths.
As time went by, Meng Ranxi's opinions on the eldest and third families grew stronger. These people are getting more and more excessive. It's just that Meng Shangshu is still there, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only bear it.
Two days later, Mrs. Xiao came to Meng's house and said that she had gone to Tongcheng for two years, and now she came back to say that she took Ruhui, mother and daughter, back to her mother's house for a month.
Xiao Shi always begged to come to the door with his own mouth. If he disagreed, it would be too impersonal. Even though Mrs. Meng was unhappy, she still nodded in agreement.
the second day,
Ruhui took Shiyin back to her natal home.
Meng Ranxi knew that the mother and daughter were not at home, but her heart was still empty.
Mrs. Li was taken back to her mother's house by Ruhui, and Meng Ranxi could only eat in the big kitchen. When dinner was served, he lost his appetite looking at the greasy braised pork in the bowl.
Fortunately, there are also steamed fish and fried wax gourd. As a result, the steamed fish had a strong fishy smell, and Meng Ranxi almost vomited after eating it, while the winter melon had an astringent smell.
After taking two bites, she couldn't eat any more. Meng Ranxi said with a dark face, "Ask the people in the kitchen to serve me a bowl of plain noodles."
Three quarters of an hour later, Ah Xiang came over. This is really a veritable bowl of plain noodles, with nothing but a few green vegetable leaves floating around.
After taking a bite, Meng Ranxi put down her chopsticks, and said with a dark face, "Why is this noodle so unpalatable? The cooks in the kitchen are really getting more and more dissatisfied."
Ah Xiang whispered, "Master, this noodles are boiled in clear water." The plain noodles that Meng Ranxi ate in the past were either chicken soup and duck soup or pork rib soup as the soup base. Even if you don't put anything, that side is delicious. Not to mention, Mrs. Li's cooking skills are better than those in the big kitchen, and she also puts her heart into cooking.
Meng Ranxi didn't speak, she lowered her head and ate a bowl of noodles. Then I went back to the study and went to read.
The next day, Meng Ranxi didn't go back to Meng's house, but went to Ning's house.
Mrs. Meng was very upset when she didn't go home to go to Yue's house for several days, and complained to Mr. Meng.
He was already tired of the court affairs, and Meng Shangshu was really impatient to hear such trivial matters: "The grandson's daughter-in-law just went back to her mother's house for a month, and she will be back in a month. What can I say?" As for Meng Ranxi , It's not a door-to-door, what does it matter if a son-in-law goes to live in Yue's house for a month.
Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Meng didn't dare to say any more.
Ruhui returned home, ate well and slept soundly, her face turned rosy in less than half an hour.
Seeing this, Meng Ranxi felt even more guilty. When Ruhui married him, she didn't enjoy a day of happiness, but suffered a lot of grievances.
When Ning Zhan came home from vacation, he was overjoyed to see Ruhui and Shiyin: "Sis, since you're back, let's stay longer."
Ruhui thinks so! It's a pity that after getting married, I'm not as free as before. This time, she was able to go back to her mother's house for a month, and it was also because Xiao Shi had not been in Beijing for two years. Otherwise, Mrs. Meng would not let go.
Ning Zhan smiled and said, "If you don't go back, the Meng family will come and force you to go back?"
Ruhui shook her head and said, "I won't go, your brother-in-law will have a hard time. I'm hoping that he will be released after serving in the official department for three years, and then he will be able to live his life with peace of mind."
Although the rest of the Meng family were not very good, Meng Ranxi treated Ru Hui very well. Ning Zhan said: "Outward release is a temporary solution, but not the root cause, but at least we avoid people from the first house and the third house." As long as Meng Shangshu is around, the Meng family will not separate.
The siblings were talking when they heard the maid outside saying that the uncle had returned.
Meng Ranxi looked at Ning Zhan and said in surprise, "Ah Zhan, you've grown taller again?"
Ru Hui scolded with a smile: "Ah Zhan is only nineteen years old, isn't it normal for him to be tall?"
Ning Zhan was very happy when he heard this: "Brother-in-law, I haven't played chess for a long time, let's play a game."
Meng Ran wanted it all.
But Ruhui didn't agree: "No, if you want to play chess, you have to eat and then play." When two people play chess, if they don't enjoy themselves, they won't stop. She didn't want to wait for dinner, so she urged her to invite her four times.
As soon as the two finished eating, they couldn't wait to set up the chessboard. It was not until the end of the Xu Dynasty that Meng Ranxi returned to the house.
Ru Hui asked with a smile, "Why did it take so long?"
"I chatted with Ah Zhan for a while." The two chatted, of course, about court affairs.
After finishing speaking, Meng Ranxi said with some emotion: "Although Ah Zhan is in the army, he knows what happened in the court like the palm of his hand."
Ru Hui smiled and said, "Every time Ah Zhan returns to Beijing for vacation, he will go out to eat and drink with his friends." The other people Ning Zhan has befriended are now working in various departments. While everyone was eating, drinking and having fun, they would naturally talk about some court affairs.
In fact, Ning Zhan is so familiar with the affairs of the court mainly because the Ning family has its own news channel.
Meng Ranxi smiled and said, "It's not about eating and drinking, it's about socializing. But speaking of it, the fourth prince and Brother Yanghui are the ones who have studied eating and drinking the most."
The husband and wife whispered and talked for a long time before falling asleep.
Shunxin's days passed too quickly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. Ruhui didn't want to go back, but Mrs. Meng had already urged Meng Ranxi twice.
That night, Meng Ranxi put her arms around Ruhui's waist and said, "Grandmother asked me today when you and Shiyin will go back? You can't stay at Ning's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
Ruhui was a little depressed and said, "I'll have someone pack up tomorrow, and I'll go back the day after tomorrow."
Fortunately, when she returned to Meng's house, Mrs. Meng San stopped pestering her to do business together.
Maisui inquired about it, and said to Ruhui, "The third madam bought two shops and rented them out. I heard that the fifth master persuaded the third madam."
Meng Guangwu will also lose money doing business with Mrs. Meng San, so collecting rent is the safest.
Ruhui snorted, "That's good, after all, I've got income every month." The two shops, even if they are located in general, have a hundred and eighty taels of silver a year.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Shi and Ning Zhan were having dinner. Then I heard the servant girl come in and say: "Madam, Master, someone from the Meng family said that the second aunt had a seizure and was about to give birth."
Neither Xiao Shi nor Ning Zhan was in the mood to eat, so they rushed to Meng's house in a hurry.
On the way to Meng's house, Ning Zhan asked the maid who came to report the letter: "Second sister's due date is at the end of the month, why is it half a month earlier?"
The servant girl shook her head and said, "Everyone was eating at noon, and the girl complained that she had a stomachache. When Po Wen saw it, she said that the girl was about to give birth."
When Xiao heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not surprising that the birth of the child is delayed and early."
Ning Zhan actually let her give birth early because he was worried that the Meng family would offend Ruhui. There's no way, those people from the first and third rooms of the Meng family are too capable of acting like demons. It was no accident to hear that, and my heart was slightly relieved.
This birth was born very quickly, and the child fell to the ground before the sun set.
Hearing the child's loud cry, Meng Ranxi let out a long breath. Seeing Ning Zhan looking at him, Meng Ranxi said, "When Shiyin was born, your sister was in pain for two days and one night. Fortunately, this child knows how to hurt others, so she didn't make your sister suffer too much." From seizure to delivery, the child , just over two hours.
While the two were talking, Granny Wen carried the child out: "Congratulations to the third master, you are a brother."
Because he was Meng Ranxi's eldest son, no one said that he would not hold a full moon banquet this time. Although there are ten tables at the full moon banquet, Ruhui is already satisfied.
For example, Hui confinement sits for forty-five days, and it is already the end of October after confinement.
Just after confinement, Ruhui saw Ruyi who returned to Beijing: "I'm still worried these days, my mother's body, I'm afraid I'll get tired and sick if I manage Ah Zhan's marriage by myself!" Strive for perfection, even more tired.
Ruyi smiled and said, "I came here specially for Ah Zhan's wedding. It was also a delay on the way, otherwise I would have arrived a few days ago." The only younger brother is married, and she, the older sister, will definitely come back to attend the wedding up.
Ruhui smiled and said, "I'm relieved when the eldest sister comes back." Although Ruyi's temperament is a bit soft, she is fine as a housekeeper.
Picking up the child, Ruyi asked, "Did the child have a name?"
"Because he was born on August 15th, his nickname is Tuantuan. As for his great-grandfather, he has not yet decided on his first name." Since this child is the eldest son of the second household, Meng Shangshu has to choose the child's name.
