Tie Kui's Extra Story (One Hundred and Sixty-Nine)
Mrs. Gao Er originally thought that Gao Yuliu should move back to Shangshu Lane, but when she heard that she was pregnant, she immediately gave up lobbying.
Gao Yuliu smiled and held Mrs. Gao's arm: "Mother, I thought you still insisted that I move to Ningfu!"
Mrs. Gao Er said: "There are rumors that your mother-in-law was killed by the Tang family. You are pregnant with a child now, so it's better to be on guard." Good things don't go out, and evil things travel thousands of miles, and bad things travel thousands of miles. Niu Niu was so noisy that day, although Fang Hui suppressed it. It is impossible to think that there is no wind at all.
Gao Yuliu was horrified and asked, "Mother, is there any evidence for this?"
After poking Gao Yuliu's forehead, Mrs. Gao Er said, "You are stupid, there is evidence that Tang is still doing well now? But there is nothing wrong with it, you must be more careful when facing her in the future."
But Gao Yuliu couldn't help but think of Brother Zhuang's gloomy face when Ma Shi was mentioned once. Immediately, my heart skipped a beat.
Mrs. Gao Er saw her face changed slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, even if she has evil intentions, but now you live in Anyang Hou Mansion, she can't stretch her arms that long."
Gao Yuliu said viciously: "If she dares to harm my child, I will definitely chop her up."
"Yu Liu, it's because this woman has ulterior motives that I want you to move back to Ning Mansion earlier. With Ning Mansion in my hands, she won't be able to make any trouble." But the daughter is pregnant now, This matter had to be pushed back.
After a few days, Brother Zhuang came back.
Hearing that he was going to be a father soon, Brother Zhuang was stunned. When he came back to his senses, Brother Zhuang looked at Gao Yuliu's stomach: "Why doesn't it show at all?"
Seeing his stupid appearance, Gao Yuliu giggled, "It's less than two months, what can I see?"
The husband and wife talked for a while, and Gao Yuliu said: "Master, last time I went back to Shangshu Lane, Er Niang wanted us to move back to Ning Mansion, but my grandfather said that we should stay in Hou Mansion .”
A look of disgust flashed in Brother Zhuang's eyes: "Don't talk to her."
Gao Yuliu didn't ask about Mrs. Ma. If it was true, it would be tantamount to exposing Brother Zhuang's scars. If it was fake, it would appear that she was gossiping.
After she became pregnant, Gao Yuliu was able to raise her baby in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind. But she is in good health, even if she took a trip to Baoding when she was pregnant, it doesn't matter.
Zeng Chenfu looked at her ruddy complexion, eating and sleeping, and said with a smile: "This child is also a caring person.
"The five children she gave birth to are all very good looking. Unlike Ruhui, giving birth to a child is a crime.
The two of them were chatting when they heard the servants come and tell that Mrs. Meng had died of illness.
Zeng Chenfu straightened her face, and said to Gao Yuliu, "Go back to the yard first, and I'll report to your grandparents." Gao Yuliu is now pregnant and has to avoid funerals. She will definitely not be able to attend the funeral of the Meng family.
Ning Hai was startled: "The old madam has gone?"
"The old lady has been in poor health for the past few years, and this day will happen sooner or later." People get sick more often when they are old.
Ning Hai couldn't help but sighed: "Not only my in-laws old lady, but also I have to go if I can't."
Zeng Chenfu couldn't hear this, so she quickly changed the subject: "Father, mother, how should I send this funeral ceremony?"
Mrs. Xiao said: "Just follow the rules." The Hou Mansion has its own set of rules for gift giving in matters such as joy and funeral. The mistress of the house decides the thickness of the gift according to the relationship between relatives and estrangements.
After Zeng Chenfu left, Mrs. Xiao said, "Mrs. Meng died of illness, and her son-in-law will have to suffer from Ding You." Because Meng Ranxi is not the eldest son of the first wife, but only the heir of the second wife, he only needs Ding You for nine months.
Ning Hai thought of Ru Hui who hated him when he was a child, and immediately laughed: "I think Ru Hui was like a leopard when she was a child, impatient and arrogant. Now, she is also a grandmother." Shi Yin got married last year and gave birth at the beginning of the year. I have a daughter.
Xiao pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I used to worry about her temper. Fortunately, after being taught by the foster mother for a few years, her temper has been restrained." Dare to marry!
Because the imperial doctor said a month ago that Mrs. Meng was in danger this time, and asked the Meng family to prepare for the funeral. The descendants of the Meng family, who were away, rushed back one after another after receiving letters from the family. Ruhui was delayed on the way, and arrived in the afternoon of the second day after Mrs. Meng died of illness.
When they arrived at Meng's house, Ruhui took her youngest son and daughter to the mourning hall without even breathing.
At this time, Grandma Meng and several other sisters-in-law who had returned were crying and burning paper money in the mourning hall.
The descendants of the Meng family are very prosperous, and the granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson have knelt for more than half of the mourning hall.
It wasn't until dark that Ruhui returned to her yard. This time, she was tired and thirsty.
After entering the house, Ruhui drank a large glass of water.
Mai Sui waited for him to drink the water and whispered to her: "Master, I heard from Sister Liuli that the old man fell into a coma after knowing that the old lady died of illness, and he didn't wake up until this morning. But after waking up, the rice didn't come in."
Ruhui couldn't help but sigh: "The relationship between the old lady and the old lady is so good. Now that the old lady takes a step ahead, he can't bear the blow." Speaking of which, she thinks that Mrs. Meng's life is very good, just such a bodhisattva With the same temperament, it is lucky to marry the old man. Therefore, you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth. If you want to change to another house, you will definitely be rounded and flattened.
"Master, do you think the old man will..." Mai Sui didn't dare to say the following words.
She hasn't seen the old man until now, and she doesn't know the specific situation. Ruhui said: "Who can tell the truth about this matter. I only hope that the old man can pass this hurdle." If not, the husband does not know how sad it is!
Because Meng Ranxi is an official appointed by the court, she cannot leave her post without permission. So he returned to Beijing after hearing the news of Mrs. Meng's death and reading Ding You's book.
When he arrived in Beijing, it had been half a month since Mrs. Meng passed away. Mrs. Meng's coffin has been moved to the family temple, and she will be buried in her hometown after July 7.
Meng Ranxi didn't even go home, so she went directly to the family temple. Kneeling in front of the old lady's coffin, Meng Ranxi cried and said, "Grandmother, grandson is late."
Master Meng San helped him up and said, "Ran Xi, get up and offer a stick of incense to grandma!"
After burning incense, Meng Ranxi burned paper money for the old lady. After calming down, Meng Ranxi asked Master Meng San, "Third uncle, how is grandfather doing?"
Ruhui was afraid that Meng Ranxi would be worried, so she didn't dare to tell him the real situation of the old man. In the letter, it just said that Meng Xuemin was in a bad mood and lost his appetite because the old lady died of illness.
Master Meng San shook his head and said: "The old man's health is not very optimistic. He has passed out twice these days." He was not on duty, and hurried back when he heard that the old lady was not in good health. The journey was smooth, and I was lucky to see the old lady for the last time.
It is also because people cannot be separated from the temple, so he stayed here to guard. As for the others, they are all at home now.
When Meng Ranxi heard this, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. If it wasn't that he couldn't get back to the capital, he would have wanted to return to the capital overnight.
When the next day was bright, he rushed back to the Meng Mansion. Then as soon as he entered the Meng Mansion, he saw Meng Guangwu.
Meng Guangwu came to find Meng Ranxi after he had something to say, and he was overjoyed to see him: "Third brother, my grandfather said he wants to see you, so follow me quickly."
Meng Ranxi rushed to the bed, clutching the bony hand of the old lady and the second master, crying uncontrollably: "Grandfather, grandfather..."
When Old Master Meng saw Meng Ranxi, he showed a loving smile on his face: "They are all grandfathers, and they are not stable at all." The two grandsons he relied on most, one was the eldest grandson Meng Guangpeng, and the other was Meng Ranxi. up. And the two children did not live up to his hopes, and their official careers went smoothly. With two people here, the Meng family will have no worries for twenty years.
Meng Ranxi wiped her tears and said, "Yes, it's all due to my grandson's unfilial piety, and my grandson came back too late."
Old Master Meng said: "Don't say that, grandfather knows you are a filial child."
"Peng'er, Peng'er..."
Meng Guangpeng's face was also covered with tears at this time, and when he heard the old man Meng calling him, he hurriedly moved forward two steps: "Grandfather, grandson is here."
Putting Meng Ranxi and Meng Guangpeng's hands together, Old Master Meng said softly, "Peng'er, Ran Xi, the future of the Meng family depends on you two brothers."
The two brothers said in unison: "Don't worry, grandfather, we will work together to revitalize the Meng family."
Having obtained this guarantee, Old Master Meng closed his eyes with a smile.
Suffering two blows in succession, Meng Ranxi couldn't take it anymore and passed out.
After the first seven days, old master Meng's coffin was also removed to the temple. Meng Ranxi, Meng Guangpeng and others all stayed in the temple at home this time.
After July 7th, the coffins of the two elderly people will be sent back to their hometown for burial. At this time, Master Meng San proposed to divide the private houses left by the old man and the old lady.
This time he helped Ling back to his hometown, he would never return to the capital. If these properties are not divided now, they will not fall into his hands in the future.
Elder Meng also had no objection, and immediately ordered someone to take stock of the private property of the two old men.
Looking at the inventory, Master Meng San's face darkened. I don't even know if there are five thousand taels of silver in these properties.
Master Meng San asked the elder directly: "Brother, where are the things in Dad's study? Where are they?" He didn't know about the storeroom, but the calligraphy and painting ornaments in the old man's house were not ordinary. Take any one out, it is worth hundreds or even thousands of taels. But now, I don't see any of them.
Mrs. Meng said: "My father-in-law left a message before, except for the paintings hanging in the study room and the two Duan inkstones for Ran Xi, and everything else for Guangpeng."
Master Meng San didn't like this: "Don't talk about me, I think these things are just what your wife wants to mess with."
Mrs. Meng dared to do this, so she naturally had the confidence: "When father-in-law said this, Guangwu's daughter-in-law and Guangli were there."
The things in the study may not be tricky, but it is absolutely impossible for the two old people to have so few private rooms. Those valuable things must have been stolen by the big house.
Seeing Mr. Meng scold Mr. Meng and his wife for being treacherous, greedy and shameless, Meng Ranxi didn't want to stay any longer: "Uncle, Uncle, wait for you to discuss a charter and send someone to tell me." After finishing speaking, she turned and left out.
Seeing this, Ruhui followed with her two sons.
