Happy Marriage

An Sheng was always absent-minded when he got up early in the morning, always in a daze.

Xia Ziwu's trip to Meng's house this time was clearly prepared, and at this special time, she was a little nervous, wondering if her sister could handle it.

When she woke up in the morning, she deliberately waited near Aunt Rou's yard, and when she saw Xia Yuanwai got up and left the yard, she immediately went up to meet her, and ramblingly mentioned that Xia Ziwu was going to Meng's house. Xia Yuanwai listened absent-mindedly, or in other words, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

He even said to An Sheng with a bit of blame: "In these days, my father's errands are quite busy. If he leaves early and returns late, he can't take care of many things. If you have anything, you can go to your mother to discuss it."

An Sheng immediately froze in place, not knowing how to refute.

In the past, his father's heart was biased and he protected Xia Ziwu, but now, his father is still biased, and he can no longer hold anything else in his heart except Aunt Rou.

She hurried two more steps, caught up with Xia Yuanwai, and pretended to be coquettish: "Hmph, my father is just partial, you have time to bring Aunt Rou to Haizhen Pavilion for a drink, and you are impatient when your daughter has two words with you. "

"Why did I take Aunt Rou to Haizhen Pavilion?"

"A few days ago, Concubine Rou went to Haizhen Pavilion. Didn't her father take her to drink?"

Xia Yuanwai shook his head: "These days, the Ministry of Household is busy with the storage of local autumn grains, plus the inventory of grains and rice, so busy, where can there be such a leisurely leisure? Who is talking nonsense?"

An Sheng was stunned, and said sternly to Member Xia: "It's not nonsense, it's my daughter seeing it in person."

Member Xia still said: "Then you must be dazzled, don't be suspicious, like your mother."

After saying that, he hurried out of the house and got into the carriage.

An Sheng came to Yaolu with his head down.

She wanted to find Guan Hetian and asked him to help Meng Jinglun be a lobbyist. As long as Meng Jinglun is not moved, Xia Ziwu will have no chance. But when I think about the last time, I have a quarrel in my heart, and I dare not take the initiative to find him, for fear that he will misunderstand.

What's more, if she did this, would Guan Hetian feel that she was making a fuss?

Qianzhou walked over in front of her, turned back, walked over again, and told Leng Nanxian mysteriously, "Miss An Sheng is afraid of Si Chun?"

Leng Nanxian glanced at An Sheng who was absent-minded, and then glared at Qianzhou coldly: "Are you very leisurely?"

Qianzhou smiled "hehe": "I also care about her, don't I? Young Master, Miss An Sheng is very wrong today. She is always stunned and sighed by herself. This is obviously a typical symptom of lovesickness. Do you think she just likes someone? Did it? Or regret rejecting Guan Xiaoye?"

Leng Nanxian put down the book in his hand in a distraught: "You can ask her directly."

Qianzhou shrank his neck: "Forget it, she won't tell me if I ask."

Qianzhou continued to do things, but Leng Nanxian finally couldn't help it. He walked up to An Sheng and tapped the table in front of her gently: "If you don't concentrate on things, why are you in a daze?"

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, then sat up suddenly, smiling and perfunctory: "No, it's nothing."

Leng Nanxian put his arms on the table and stared at An Sheng's face condescendingly: "Are you sure you want to hide it from Master?"

An Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said with a sullen face: "I'm a little worried about my sister. My mother wants to send Xia Ziwu to Meng's house to take care of her, obviously with bad intentions."

"You want to stop it?" Leng Nanxian asked.

An Sheng nodded: "My father also ignored it. I really can't think of a way to stop her, and I can't repeat the same trick. They must be the first to suspect me."

Leng Nanxian thought for a moment, then pursed his lips: "I think the best way is not what you do for your sister, but to teach your sister to resist and let her defend her position by herself."

"But my sister's temperament is like this, she won't make a sound when she is stuck with a needle."

"That's not a reason." Leng Nanxian said solemnly, "It's like a toddler, if you don't let go, for fear of her falling, she will never be able to walk independently. You can stop a Xia Ziwu for her, but what about others?

The Meng family will also fill in the house for Meng Jinglun's concubines. Meng Jinglun himself may not be able to resist the temptation of the outside world. Are these things you can control? Can you stand in front of her all the time and cut through thorns for her?

You must let your sister understand that the biggest support for defending herself and the child in her womb is not Meng Jinglun, nor your Xia Ansheng, but herself. "

Leng Nanxian's words made sense, and An Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Then what should I do?"

"You can remind your sister to be careful about Xia Ziwu's methods, teach her how to deal with other people's malicious intentions, you can be your sister's backing, and turn to you when she has difficulties that cannot be solved. But you can't do everything for her Plan. Got it?"

An Sheng lowered his head, thought for a while, then raised his head and finally made up his mind: "Then I'll go find Brother Guan later and let him remind my sister."

Leng Nanxian frowned slightly: "You can go by yourself."

"In person? Not too presumptuous?"

Leng Nanxian looked at her in a leisurely manner: "Xia Ziwu has already been beaten to the Meng family, what kind of presumptuous are you to visit? Besides, what is the purpose of Master's teaching you medical skills?"

An Sheng understood, and immediately jumped up: "I'll go right away."

Meng House, just had breakfast, and Lord Meng has not come back from the last court.

These days, when An Ran vomited into darkness, her appetite improved. For breakfast, she ate a bowl of chicken soup with silver silk noodles and two pieces of snacks that Meng Jinglun had brought over.

One of them is a steamed lotus leaf cake that is very soft. Meng Jinglun carefully sandwiched a piece of sauce meat and two cucumber strips in it. It tasted crispy, fragrant, and not greasy at all.

Mrs. Meng snorted unhappily, Meng Jingxian's eyes kept on her, she was dissatisfied, and then she picked all the remaining pieces of sauce meat into the bowl in front of her.

Meng Jingxian likes to eat meat with sauce, and she is extremely domineering. An Ran knows that, so she has never dared to stretch her chopsticks into the plate. Obviously, Meng Jinglun and her mother-in-law were very dissatisfied with Meng Jinglun's considerate treatment of herself.

Meng Jinglun didn't notice these subtle changes at the dinner table at all, and still asked An Ran very gently, "Would you like to eat some more porridge?"

An Ran shook her head and smiled at Meng Jinglun: "No need, I'm already very full."

Meng Jingxian threw the chopsticks in her hand: "Brother, don't you have to go to the academy? It's already so late."

Meng Jinglun got up and still asked An Sheng, "Then I'm gone, what do you want to eat at night? I can bring it back when I come back later."

An Ran glanced at Madam Meng, and shook her head timidly again: "The house has everything."

Meng Jingxian smiled "hehe": "Why don't you ask our mother and I what we want to eat? When you marry a daughter-in-law, forget your mother."

"Jingxian," Mrs. Meng interrupted her, "your sister-in-law is pregnant now, so it's time to pick up your tongue."

Meng Jingxian stopped talking, just snorted unconvincingly from the end of her nose.

Meng Jinglun bowed to Mrs. Meng and said, "Mother, that child has gone to the academy first, and he has a lot of homework now."

Mrs. Meng nodded cheerfully, and Meng Jinglun went straight to the academy. An Ran also stood up and wanted to retire.

Mrs. Meng put down the chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and motioned for the next person to remove the tableware and chopsticks: "Don't go yet, I have something to tell you."

An Ran obediently stopped.

Mrs. Meng found an excuse to let Meng Jingxian go: "I heard that Jinglun went back to your room to rest last night?"

An Ran lowered her head: "He had something to say to the child. After he finished speaking, he sluggishly went back to the study and rested in the room."

"I won't say much, you know the importance yourself." Mrs. Meng glanced at her waist in a meaningful way.

Knowing what Madam Meng meant, An Ran lowered her head and dared not lift her head up in embarrassment: "My daughter-in-law understands."

"But this man is a man after all. You know that, you can't keep holding him back. How did you think about what your mother told you last time?" Mrs. Meng said with a friendly face.

An Ran's heart twitched suddenly, and she forced a bitter smile: "Jinglun said that he should concentrate on preparing for the big exam in the spring next year, and he doesn't want to be distracted. This matter will be discussed in a while."

"Don't use Jinglun as a shield." Madam Meng suddenly became annoyed and looked sharp: "Your mother died early, and no one taught you how to be a man and a wife, how to manage your family, how to be a virtuous, virtuous and virtuous person. But I'll show you the books like "The Commandments of Women" as soon as you enter the door of my Meng family. I don't need to say more about the big truth, right?"

An Ran bit her lower lip tightly, resisting the sourness, and nodded her head feigning generosity: "My daughter-in-law understands, and my daughter-in-law will definitely follow the example of "The Legend of the Martyr" and abide by her duty."

"You are not only a good wife, but also a good wife. You also have to worry about your husband's worries, help him take care of his daily life, manage the middle-income family, and help him take concubines. , it's all up to you to inherit the lineage. Even if you don't take the concubine in a big way, it shouldn't be an exaggeration to find a maid to help you share your worries, right?"

An Ran felt some grievances in her heart. Madam Meng spoke these great truths in a high-sounding manner. Why didn't she help her father-in-law find more concubines and make the Meng family full of descendants?

If it were An Sheng's words, he would have to go back even if he was beating around the bush, but An Ran didn't dare to, and would have to agree: "My daughter-in-law understands, but I haven't found a suitable girl for a while."

"There are so many girls in our house, all of them are smart and dignified, but you don't like any of them? Or, let me point you to two? The two girls I serve are not bad, so Appearance and temperament are all first-class, and the family background is also innocent."

An Ran didn't dare to talk back, not even a "no": "When Jinglun returns in the evening, I will discuss with him."

"What else is there to discuss? You just open the girl's face, comb your hair, and send it to the study to serve you. When it's done, can you just clean up a room in your own yard? Are you serious? You don't understand or pretend you don't?"

An Ran lowered her head even lower, and said in a voice like a gnat: "Everything is at my mother's orders."

"That's right." Mrs. Meng nodded with satisfaction: "Although your marriage with Jinglun was twists and turns, fortunately you are a good and sensible girl, and it is not in vain for my Meng family to be condescending, and marry you to be a serious child. Madam."
