Tie Kui Extra Story (116)
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Meng's dismissal spread throughout the capital within two days. .
On this day, Meng Shangshu went to the imperial study to report. In the imperial study room, it is as gentle as spring. Walking in from the outside is like stepping from winter to spring.
Although Qihao is young, Meng Shangshu dare not be slighted. Facing what happened, he was fully prepared. I'm afraid that there is an oversight and I won't be able to return to Qihao's question well.
After talking about business, Qihao suddenly asked: "There is a censor impeaching you and forcing your son to divorce his wife, what do you say about your business?"
In the eyes of the censor, officials have no family affairs. As long as you do something wrong, they will impeach. Mrs. Meng San married into the Meng family for more than 20 years, and she is now a grandmother. Meng Shangshu forced his son to divorce his wife, not only ruthless, but also very cold-blooded.
The main reason is that the outside world only knew that Mrs. Meng San ran back from her hometown without permission, and then she was divorced. Therefore, many people thought that Geng was dismissed because he challenged Meng Shangshu's authority. Of course, the impeachment censor is also a rookie, and other seasoned people can naturally see that this is not an easy matter.
Family ugliness should not be publicized, but Meng Shangshu naturally did not dare to hide it when the emperor asked. After briefly explaining the matter, Meng Shangshu said with a wry smile: "My family is unfortunate, that's why I married such a wicked woman. For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I can only be this wicked person."
Qihao glanced at Meng Shangshu sympathetically. No wonder parents always say that marrying a wife is not a disaster for three generations, this is really true.
Walking out of the imperial study room, Meng Shangshu felt a chill on his back. Fortunately, he made a timely decision, otherwise this matter would not have passed so lightly.
After being tormented like this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help getting pregnant. The doctor told her to lie down and rest, otherwise she and the child would be in danger.
After Ruhui heard about it, she hurried over to visit her: "Don't think too much about it, your body is more important than your child."
A pale smile appeared on Chen's face: "She won't be able to go back to Meng's house in the future, so I can raise my baby with peace of mind. As for Fifth Lord, he doesn't want to forgive me, and I won't force him either."
Ruhui is not a nosy person, but she does sympathize with Chen Shi: "This is not your fault, I will ask your third brother to persuade fifth brother."
"Sister-in-law three, I appreciate your kindness. It's just this matter, there's no need to persuade her." With the Geng family stalking between them, it is impossible for Meng Guangwu to treat her nicely again. The husband and wife will be the most in the future, and they will respect each other as guests.
Ruhui couldn't help but said: "The old man didn't divorce her for you, he did it for the fifth brother and their brothers."
Mrs. Chen was a little stunned: "Sister-in-law,
How do you say that? "
"Fifth brother is going to be an official in the future. Think about it, with her love of money and disregard of right and wrong, what will happen to Fifth Master?" . If Meng Guangwu becomes an official, Geng's family will definitely become his reminder.
When Chen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It wasn't for me, that's fine." It made her feel quite guilty, feeling that she had caused Meng Shangshu's reputation to suffer.
After a pause, Mrs. Chen said: "Sister-in-law three, I will always remember your kindness to me. It's just that you and third brother don't care about it. Let's let nature take its course with me and fifth master!"
Ruhui hummed and said, "Okay then! But if you need any help, just ask. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Mrs. Chen was really rude, so she said: "Sister-in-law, if you have time, please go to my shop and have a look. I haven't been there for so many days, and I don't know how the business is." Whether the business of the shop is good or bad depends on them. The future life of mother and child.
Ruhui smiled: "Don't worry, business will definitely be very good at the end of the year. You, just sit and wait to collect money."
The Geng family was divorced, and the daughters-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking about the two shops taken back by Meng Shangshu, except Chen's, the other two feel a little bit pained.
After the first lunar month, the teahouse shop and the clothes shop sent over the income from last year.
Ruhui was happy, with a smile on her brow.
Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law San must have made a lot of money last year."
"It's more than expected. Your dried fruit shop should have made a lot of money last year, right?" The teahouse made almost 6,000 taels last year. This number far exceeded her expectations.
Mrs. Chen nodded: "I made more than three hundred taels in the twelfth lunar month. Over the whole year, I made almost eight hundred taels." Her dry fruit shop mainly relies on the Chinese New Year to make money. Usually, the income is more than twenty taels per month.
Ruhui thinks this is already pretty good.
Mrs. Chen hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law three, I still want to open another shop." She has four children and wants to save more money. In this way, there is no need to worry about the marriage of children in the future.
Ruhui looked at her swollen belly and said, "The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your baby, and we can talk about making money after the baby is born."
Chen said with a smile: "If you want to open a shop, you must wait for the child to be born. But before that, you have to think about what kind of shop to open."
Ruhui smiled and said, "Think about this yourself slowly." Like their grandfather, Meng Shangshu, as a backer, no matter what they do for a living, as long as they do well, they can make money. Instead of being like other people, you have to find a good backer to open a shop, and then you have to manage up and down.
The two had a conversation, and Ruhui felt a little tired.
Back in her room, Ruhui lay on the bed and touched her stomach. After thinking for a while, Ru Hui ordered, "Send someone to invite Dr. Li over, and just say that I have a headache."
As a confidant maid, Maisui can't know that Ruhui's little life has been postponed by ten days.
Dr. Li took Ruhui's pulse and said, "Third Grandma's pulse is a bit slippery, but it's still young, and it will take a few days to be sure."
Both have two children, and Ruhui also thinks she is pregnant. However, just in case, Dr. Li came to make a diagnosis: "Before this matter is confirmed, if someone asks, please don't tell Dr. Li." Zuo Zuo is not the first child, and everyone will not stare at her.
Doctor Li said with a smile: "Don't worry, third grandma, I will keep my mouth shut."
That night, Mai Sui and Ru Hui shared a big gossip: "Third Mistress, the old lady invited a matchmaker to a family named Zhou to propose marriage for the Third Master."
"ah……"
Ruhui was very skeptical: "Did I make a mistake? Maybe it was because of Eighth Master and the others!" Meng Guangwu's youngest brother has reached the age of marriage.
Mai Sui shook her head and said, "No, it was proposed for the third master. I heard that this is what the old master meant."
It is true that the rumors are so eloquent. But Ruhui has no spirit and no interest in it.
When Meng Ranxi came back, she saw Ru Hui's listless look: "Hui'er, what's wrong? Did you see a doctor?"
"Ask the doctor to look at it. The doctor said that she might be pregnant, but it will take a few more days to confirm the diagnosis."
Meng Ranxi hugged Ruhui with some distress, and said, "After giving birth to this, we won't have another one." Every time she gave birth to a child, Ruhui would suffer a serious crime.
Ru Hui said wearily: "We'll talk about it later." It's too early to say this now.
Six days later, Dr. Li came for a follow-up visit. After taking the pulse, Dr. Li smiled and said: "Congratulations to the third grandma, there is no doubt that the pulse is happy."
Two days after it was confirmed that she was pregnant, Ruhui started to vomit. I vomited whatever I ate, until I couldn't eat anything in the end.
After Ning Zhan found out, he sent Aunt Li over again. Unfortunately, Mrs. Li didn't work this time either.
When Ning Zhan went to visit, he saw that Ruhui had lost a lot of weight in just half a month. I was in a hurry right now, but I gave all the folk remedies, but it was useless.
Qiyou entered the palace and saw Ning Zhan who was on duty, and said with a smile, "You look like everyone owes you eight thousand taels. What made you feel like this?"
Ning Zhan said with a bitter face: "My second sister was pregnant, and then she vomited whatever she ate, and now she's too skinny."
Qiyou couldn't help this kind of thing.
It's also a coincidence that it's time for dinner in the evening. When Qiyou saw the hot and sour radish on the dinner table, Ning Zhan's bitter face should not come to mind.
Qiyou asked Huang Siling: "Do you still have this hot and sour radish at home?"
"I marinated a jar, and I just opened it to eat today! What's the matter?" This hot and sour radish was an appetizer made by the chef of Prince You's Mansion.
Qiyou said with a smile: "Ah Zhan's second sister is pregnant, so she throws up whatever she eats. I see that this hot and sour radish is very appetizing. You can give her two dishes to try."
Huang Siling was very envious, other people's pregnancy is as easy as eating, why is it so difficult for her to get pregnant!
Seeing her gloomy expression, Qiyou said with a smile: "Don't think about those who have or don't have, we have Brother Xu enough." Of course, they are still young, and they may have another at some point. But it doesn't matter if you don't have it, children also have to rely on fate.
Half an hour later, two plates of hot and sour radishes were delivered to the Meng Mansion.
Although he was surprised why Prince You's Mansion brought food over, Meng Ranxi didn't have time to think about it. He immediately brought a plate to Ru Hui and asked, "Hui Er, would you like to try one?"
Ruhui smelled the spicy smell, nodded her head: "Bring me chopsticks quickly."
A plate of hot and sour radish was eaten by Ruhui in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Ruhui didn't vomit, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Third Grandma, let me get you a bowl of noodles!"
Because Ruhui couldn't smell other flavors, Mrs. Li just ordered a bowl of noodles in clear spinach soup.
With the remaining plate of hot and sour radish, Ruhui ate up the bowl of spinach noodles in clear soup.
After a while, seeing that Ruhui hadn't vomited yet, Meng Ranxi was very happy: "I'll go to Prince You's Mansion tomorrow to get some hot and sour radishes."
Ruhui felt refreshed after eating, "Forget it, you don't have much friendship with King You, let Ah Zhan go!"
Meng Ranxi immediately understood that the reason why Prince You's Mansion sent hot and sour radishes must be because of her brother-in-law.
On the second day, Ning Zhan not only brought all the hot and sour radish and hot and sour cucumber appetizers from Prince You's Mansion, but also thoughtfully brought Fang Zi.
With these appetizers, Ruhui didn't vomit anymore. The adverse reactions in the first trimester finally passed.
