Chapter 144: Powerful Minister【13】
When Mrs Yan, who arranged for her son's marriage, heard the report from her servants, Meng Qi had come uninvited. She was slightly startled. The first reaction in her mind was not happiness, but she must not let Meng Qi affect Yuan Jia's wedding.
Yuan Jia sent people to stare at Meng Xi. Of course, he would not just watch his jokes by himself, but also relayed the jokes between Meng Xi and Lin to the old lady and Yan.
Every day Mrs Yan listened to how Meng Qi was not filial to her biological mother, how she disliked Lin, and then the old lady's advice and Yuan Jia's subtle influence, and gradually became full of disappointment with Meng Qi.
This was not a cold day. From the very beginning, Yuan Jia exposed the fact that Meng Xie secretly recognized Lin's mother, and Yan had a thorn in his heart, and now it's just that the wound is getting bigger and bigger...
Yan Shi temporarily put aside the matter at hand, and sent someone to bring Meng Xie over, and she went to see him in person.
Seeing the clothing material on Meng Qi's body that had obviously dropped a few grades, Yan Shi was silent for a while, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he sighed, "You are not well-off now, so what gift are you giving?"
Meng Qi's face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look up at the Yan family. He lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Also, it's not something valuable, just a little local product."
Looking at Meng Qi's nervous appearance, Mrs. Yan thought of how proud and confident he used to be as a young man, and his heart softened, and said, "Since you're here, let's stay and have a wedding wine."
Meng Xian came to Zhenbei Gongfu hiding from Lin's this time, not to drink Meng Yuanjia's wedding wine. He wanted to ask Yan's for some money to fill the gap in the business, and he also wanted to ask Yan's help for his marriage.
He is only one year younger than Meng Yuanjia, and now Meng Yuanjia only got married at the age of 20, which is already an older wife. He is nineteen years old and has not married yet, and he is also an old man left in this era.
And now he is a commoner and can only marry ordinary women, how can he be reconciled? He was even more reluctant to marry Lin's niece, so he wanted to ask Yan's head.
Yan's family is from a famous family, and she is a big family. As long as she wants, she can easily find a good wife of her birth height.
After being beaten by the society and losing money in business many times, Meng Xian has come to realize the reality.
He couldn't study for the imperial examinations, he couldn't make money in business, and it was even more impossible for him to join the army. So if he wanted to turn over, he could only rely on soft food, and if he married a high-status wife, he could rely on the Yue family to turn around.
Meng Qi thought very beautiful in his heart, but he didn't think about it. If he had no ability, no identity, why would a wealthy and wealthy daughter marry him to help the poor?
Could it be that he is cold-hearted and thin-eyed? Do you think he has a difficult biological mother? Does he have a bunch of poor relatives who just want to fight the autumn wind?
Meng Qi said to Mrs Yan from time to time: "Mother, I'm only one year younger than the second brother, and now the second brother is about to marry, I..." He lowered his head a little embarrassed, "My mother wants to force me to marry her niece , but I don't like..."
He didn't state his request clearly, and waited for Mrs. Yan to take the initiative.
Yan shi understood his unfinished intentions, but she had no intention of interfering. After all, it was inappropriate for her adoptive mother to intervene in the marriage of her adopted son. Meng Xi's biological mother was still alive, so it was not easy for her to surpass his biological mother.
So Yan Shi refused: "Marriage is the life of the parents, the matchmaker's words, your biological mother is still there, it is not my turn to intervene."
Meng Qi, who was full of anticipation, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and looked at Yan Shi in amazement: "Mother, are you leaving me alone?"
Yan's mood was surprisingly calm, she said, "It's not that I don't care about you, but I don't have the right to care about you now. Since you recognize your biological mother, let's live a good life with your biological mother."
Meng Qi's panic spread in his heart. For a long time, he felt that Yan's doting on him was trying to raise his adopted son, and complained that she was not as strict with him as the parent and son, but in fact he subconsciously knew how much Yan's doted on him. , and regard this favor as confidence and reliance.
But now it seems that this confidence and reliance have been quietly taken back by the Yan family.
Meng Qi suppressed his uneasiness and begged to Mrs Yan: "Mother, please help Qi'er this time! I really don't want to marry a rural peasant woman, if I marry her, my life will be ruined. , mother, help me find a good wife..."
Yan's heart couldn't believe it. She thought that Meng Xi simply didn't like Lin's niece, and hoped that she would come forward to help reject the marriage, but now it seems that Meng Xi doesn't like Lin's niece, he just doesn't. I like low-born women, and I want to climb high branches!
No matter how he felt that the children he raised were all good, Mrs. Yan could not disobey her heart and say that Meng Xian could marry a noble girl in her current status, but he was not even qualified to marry the daughter of a small official. He actually asked her to help him find one. A good wife?
Yan Shi suddenly felt very tired and sighed: "Er, you have to recognize the current situation. How can a woman with a good family be willing to marry?"
Meng Qi said angrily: "You can marry Meng Yuanjia a daughter of the Hou's mansion, why can't you find me a noble daughter? Didn't you say that you always treat me as your own son?" He sneered sarcastically. , "Sure enough, it's not as good as one's own!"
Yan shi stared at Meng Xi, who was completely exposed. After a long while, he came back to his senses and looked at him with complicated eyes. Thinking of the two filial biological sons and the now disgusting adopted son, he sighed: "You are right. , as expected, it is not as good as the biological one!”
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Before Yuan Jia sent someone to send Meng Xi away, he learned that the Yan family had personally ordered someone to forcibly send Meng Xi out.
He was very surprised: "Mother personally ordered someone to drive Meng Xi out?"
"Yes, Madam she ordered it herself."
Yuan Jia was a little relieved. He thought that it would take a long time for Yan to slowly withdraw his affection for Meng Xi, and then expose Meng Xi's true face in front of Yan. At that time, Yan knew the truth. would be too sad.
If he wasn't worried that Mr. Yan would not be able to accept the stimulation for a while, he would have let Mr. Yan know what kind of person Meng Xi was. Why did he let Meng Xi enter the house under the name of Yan's?
Yuan Jia laughed in a good mood, but it was not in vain for him to apply eye drops in front of the Yan family for more than a year.
When he rode a high-headed horse to meet the marriage at the Marquis of Jincheng's mansion, he was beaming with joy, and anyone who looked at him felt that he was very satisfied with the marriage.
Meng Qi, who was forcibly sent out of Zhenbei Gongfu, was among the crowd of people on the roadside. He looked at the beaming and handsome groom on the front of the welcoming team, and he felt a lot of hatred in his heart: Just laugh, just laugh! See how long you can laugh!
Yuan Jia received the bride at the Jinchenghou Mansion, and returned to the Zhenbei Gong Mansion in the joy of celebration, and married the bride Chu Wenlan.
During the second worship at the high hall, the old lady and Mrs Yan, who were sitting in the high hall, laughed heartily.
After the worship was over, Yuan Jia and his bride entered the new room.
This new house was furnished by Meng Yuanjia's original residence. The characters of 囍 were plastered all over the place, and the eyes were all bright red.
Yuan Jia lifted the bride's red hijab and saw the bride's beautiful and dignified face with a bit of shyness, which was the first time he saw the true face of his wife.
He smiled gently at Chu Wenlan and shouted, "Madam!"
Chu Wenlan looked at his smile and shook her head. After a while, she came back to her senses, and then she saw that Yuan Jia had already handed over a glass of wine in front of her.
The two of them each drank half a cup of wine together, then exchanged glasses and drank the rest of the wine, and then threw the wine glasses under the bed one by one, which means a hundred years of harmony.
Yuan Jia ordered someone to bring Chu Wenlan a meal, and then went to the front to entertain the guests.
It didn't come back until it got dark.
Chu Wenlan accompanied him to eat another bowl of noodles. After eating, he went to take a bath and listened to the sound of the water next door. In Chu Wenlan's mind, there was something indescribable about the fire escape map her mother showed her before she got married. The content of , automatically changed the face of the protagonist on the fire avoidance map, and then her face was flushed and hot, she shyly covered her face with her hands.
Yuan Jia walked over with her hair down, and the beautiful man who had just finished bathing suddenly appeared in front of her. Chu Wenlan's mind automatically appeared in the bathtub py in the picture of avoiding the fire. She looked away in a panic, not daring to look at Yuan Jia.
Of course, Yuan Jia didn't know what indescribable content was in the mind of his newly married wife, she just thought she was shy.
He walked to the bedside and lifted the quilt of Baizi and Qiansun, revealing a bed full of red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds and other items under the quilt. After he cleaned up the 'Zaosheng Guizi', he waved to Chu Wenlan. : "Ma'am, it's time to settle."
At this moment, Chu Wenlan was flashing the fire avoidance picture in her mind, and her eyes when she looked at Yuan Jia also burst into flames. She walked over with her head lowered. When Yuan Jia put down the bed tent, she was caught off guard by Chu Wenlan. on...
When Yuan Jia woke up the next morning, he looked at his newlywed wife, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. His eyes were still a little dazed.
Last night he seemed to see a wild side of his new wife who was completely different from the surface?
Yuan Jia grabbed Chu Wenlan who was hugging him, and wanted to get out of bed, but as soon as he moved, Chu Wenlan woke up, looked up at him with wet eyes, and said: "Husband, you wake up. La!" Coupled with a naive smile, it was simply adorable.
Yuan Jia took control, he rolled over and got out of bed, picked up his clothes, and found that the clothes were wrinkled and torn in some places.
He glanced back at his wife, who was sitting up holding the quilt, but her eyes were still a little dazed, and helplessly went to the closet next to him to get a new dress and put it on.
By the way, he helped Chu Wenlan to put a set of clothes by her bed, and said to her, "Get up, wash up, and then go to serve tea to grandmother and mother."
Chu Wenlan responded quickly, and then shouted to the outside world: "Come on!"
Her dowry maid immediately walked in, and waited for Chu Wenlan to get dressed and get up, and wait for the uncle Yuan Jia to wash up.
After washing up, it was still early, but Yuan Jia saw Chu Wenlan sitting in front of the dressing table, and then looked at the table that was not much less than modern cosmetics and many jewelry boxes, and knew that it was not too early.
Sure enough, when the tea time was approaching, Chu Wenlan was able to finish dressing up.
The well-dressed Chu Wenlan is indeed a lot more beautiful, but Yuan Jia's eyes are so good that she can see the traces of makeup on her face at a glance, so she prefers her natural state without makeup.
