Tie Kui Extra Story (130)

When Ning Hai went to Zhuangzi, he brought Brother Hang with him, which was what Ning Zhan meant. The grandparent and grandson have never gotten along before, and letting Brother Hang go with him is also to cultivate more relationships. By the way, let Ning Hai teach him martial arts, so that Ning Hai will not be bored in Zhuangzi.

Ruhui took her three children to Anyang Hou Mansion early in the morning.

Mrs. Meng couldn't help complaining to Meng Shangshu: "My mother's family is so active, but I never saw her take care of family affairs." Ruhui never took care of the Meng family's affairs. She made indirect references to him, but it was useless.

Meng Shangshu said: "In the future, Ran Xi's future will depend on the Ning family's help." The Marquis of the Ning family can inherit five generations, and Ning Zhan is the emperor's confidant, and the future is boundless. It is a blessing for the grandson to have such a family of wives.

Mrs. Meng paused, and then said: "Master, I really don't want you to come back!" Although Mr. Meng stayed in the capital and didn't do anything, let alone share their worries, but his son was by his side. Mrs. Meng was not at ease.

After being married for many years, how could Meng Shangshu not know what Madam Meng was thinking: "After a while, the boss will come back."

Mrs. Meng was not happy but worried: "Master, does the emperor want you to step down?"

Previously, Meng Shangshu reported that he would retire from office, but the emperor did not agree. At that time, Mrs. Meng was still very happy, thinking that her husband was valued by the emperor. The truth turned out to be that the emperor wanted King You to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then he felt that King You was too young and had to spend another two years, so he let Meng Shangshu stay in this position.

Meng Shangshu said: "No. But even if you don't retreat now, you will have to retire in two years." In fact, since the Yamen fainted last time, most of the Yamen's affairs were handled by You Wang and You Shilang, and he himself in a semi-retired state.

Mrs. Meng also knew that the influence of her husband might still be there for three to five years after retiring, but it would not work after a long time. But Ranxi's career has just begun. Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng felt that her attitude towards Ruhui should be kinder in the future.

The servant girl said outside: "Old master, old madam, the third master has something to ask to see."

Ruhui told about Meng Guangwu that day, and Meng Ranxi asked his cronies to investigate the next day. As a result, the investigation found that Geng mortgaged his house to a bank and used the money to lend money. She didn't come forward to lend money directly, but asked her confidants to do it.

Lending money is illegal, and the government is stricter, and Geng's confidantes were quickly arrested. Fortunately, he did not confess Gunn. But when the mortgage period expired, Geng couldn't pay back the money, and the bank wanted to take her house.

Meng Guangwu buried himself in his studies, and he didn't have any money on hand. The last time Chen needed money urgently, he could only sell his most beloved Duanyan. Now, how could he come up with five hundred taels of silver.

But if the money from the bank is not returned, Geng will have to live on the streets. There is no other way, Meng Guangwu can only ask Chen for money. It's a pity that the Chen family didn't give him any money.

Old Mrs. Meng was so angry that the veins on her forehead stood up, she shouted angrily: "Lending money is a bad thing, Geng is crazy about money?"

Meng Shangshu said indifferently: "She is not from our Meng family anymore, what she does has nothing to do with us." Even if the Geng family murdered and set fire, it has nothing to do with the Meng family.

Meng Ranxi said, "Grandfather, although she has nothing to do with the Meng family, if this continues, the fifth brother will definitely be dragged to death by her." Meng Guangwu is not a particularly talented person, but he is very diligent. Meng Ranxi really couldn't bear the thought that he had studied hard for twenty years, but in the end it was ruined by Geng's hands.

Meng Shangshu said, "I'll talk to him about this in two days." He didn't want Meng Ranxi and Meng Guangwu to have a rift because of this matter. So I wanted to talk about it with Meng Guangwu two days later.

No one expected that Meng Guangwu and Mrs. Chen would quarrel again the next day. Because of the fierce quarrel, even Mrs. Meng was alarmed.

"Why are you arguing?"

Chen cried and said: "The fifth master asked me to give him five hundred taels of silver, and if I said I didn't have money, I would quarrel with me." In fact, she knew why Meng Guangwu wanted money. She would rather give alms to beggars than give Gunn a penny.

Similarly, Meng Guangwu also knew that Mrs. Chen could come up with five hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, I wouldn't have quarreled with her.

Because Mrs. Meng got the advice from Meng Shangshu, she asked knowingly, "Guangwu, what do you want so much money for?"

Meng Guangwu didn't dare to say it. Having said that, he will definitely be scolded miserably.

The old man Meng didn't scold Meng Guangwu. The old man would talk to him about it in the past two days, but he just said: "Your wife has to take care of the housework and take care of four children. Guangwu, you should also be considerate of her."

That night, Meng Shangshu talked to Meng Guangwu. This talk lasted for half a day.

After returning from the study, Meng Guangwu went to find Mrs. Chen and said, "Grandfather said that if I fail the exam again, he will let me go back to my hometown."

Mrs. Chen let out an oh, but didn't continue.

This attitude annoyed Meng Guangwu, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Didn't you hear what I said just now? If I fail the exam again this year, my grandfather will ask me to go back to my hometown."

Chen looked up at him, and asked back: "What do you want me to say? This is the old man's decision, how can I refute it?"

The two dried fruit shops she opened can now earn almost two thousand taels of silver a year. The future betrothal gift and dowry of her children will depend on these two shops. So even if Meng Guangwu wanted to go back to his hometown, she would not go back with him.

Seeing Chen's indifferent appearance, Meng Guangwu's anger disappeared in an instant: "You only have two shops in your eyes now, and you don't even care about my future?"

Chen smiled lightly and said, "Your future? Tell me, what is your future?"

Meng Guangwu looked at Chen Shi with disbelief on his face: "You, you look down on me so much now?" Before, Chen Shi was very sure that he would pass the exam.

Chen sneered and said, "I'm not looking down on you, but with her here, what future do you think you have? She dares to lend money now, and when you become an official, relying on your power, she might kill her and let her go." Dare to do it."

"you know?"

Chen said: "You want so much money from me and you don't make it clear, I will naturally ask someone to check it out. Meng Guangwu, I can't stop you from being filial to her, but let her not worry about my money. I have a penny No money will be given to her." She had already given up on Meng Guangwu, and naturally she had no scruples about acting.

The husband and wife fell apart again.

As soon as Meng Ranxi took a bath, she ran to the hot spring village to visit her wife and children.

Ning Hai was naturally happy to see his daughter and son-in-law loving each other. But when he thought of Fang Hui, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Ruhui saw that his expression was not right, and found an excuse to dismiss Meng Ranxi: "Father, but what did Ranxi do to make you unhappy?"

Ning Hai shook his head and said, "Father is very pleased to see that your sisters and Ah Zhan are living so well. But your elder brother...cough, it's all my fault. Your elder brother shouldn't be left alone that day." Well, now they both have four children. The only regret is that she gave birth to four boys, and now Ruyi has always wanted a daughter.

Even though it took such a long time, Mrs. Xiao was fine, but Ruhui still didn't want to see Mrs. Ma. But anyway, Mrs. Ma is the elder sister-in-law, so Ruhui won't be so stupid as to speak ill of her in front of Ning Hai.

Ning Hai hesitated for a while and said, "Ruhui, how about I marry your eldest brother a second wife?"

This idea is really bad.

Seeing Ruhui looking at him, Ning Hai said: "The last time your elder brother went to Tiejia Village, he didn't even bring a change of clothes. Having a wife is the same as not having a wife. Besides, Mrs. Ma doesn't know how to housekeeper, so he offends people when he goes out to socialize."

Although Ruhui thought it was a bad idea, she didn't object: "Father, it's up to him. If he doesn't agree, you can marry him a second wife privately, and he will blame you for affecting his career in the future. "

"I'll write to him and ask him." If it weren't for Ma Shi being so bad, he wouldn't have thought of such a way. Marrying a second wife has a bad reputation, but at least the son has someone who knows the cold and the hot around him.

If Ruhui knew that she was looking for trouble for herself, she would definitely object.

Mrs. Xiao followed Mrs. Fu back to the county town, and went shopping out of boredom, but fell ill due to the cold wind. Fortunately, she has always been in good health, and she will be fine after taking a few medicines. After that, I didn't dare to go out anymore, I just stayed at home, and then I hoped that the weather would get warmer soon, so I could go home sooner.

After coming this time, Xiao Shi didn't want to come again.

Hearing the arrival of the Marquis of Anyang, Xiao frowned and said, "Since when is there another Marquis of Anyang in the capital?" Her master is the Uncle Anyang's mansion, so what's the matter with the Marquis of Anyang now! I don't know what the emperor thinks.

As a result, after asking, I found out that her husband had been promoted to noble, from Uncle Anyang to Marquis of Anyang. At that moment, Xiao's tears of joy could not help but fall down.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Fu immediately said: "Auntie, you must tell grandfather about such a happy event."

The magistrate of the county is about to retire. Hongbo is planning this matter, and now that Ning Hai has been promoted to Marquis, this matter is sure.

Xiao wiped away tears and said, "You send someone back to Tiejia Village to tell your grandfather the good news."

That night, Mrs. Xiao told Hongbo and Mrs. Fu that she was going back to Beijing.

Both the husband and wife objected, Hong Bo said: "Auntie, the weather is too cold for traveling now. In half a month or so, the weather will get warmer."

Xiao's heart is like an arrow now, he doesn't want to wait any longer, he just wants to go home.

Seeing that Mrs. Fu couldn't make sense of Mrs. Xiao, she said tactfully, "Auntie, five days later is the day when Awang gets married. After Awang gets married, I will accompany you back to Beijing." One is to congratulate and give gifts, and the other is to give more Walking enhances the relationship.

Shaking her head, Xiao said, "No, there are so many things at home, how can you get away with it?"

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "We don't worry about letting my aunt go back to Beijing alone. Dabao and the others are all grown up, so it's okay to go away for three to five months."

After talking about this, Xiao did not refuse any more. After attending Awang's wedding, she returned to Beijing. As she said, Mrs. Fu took her youngest son and daughter back to the capital with Mrs. Xiao.
