"I've met the second aunt," Xu Ruoshui was still a little insensitive to Du Erniang. Although she didn't know much about the Meng family, she had met her once before, so she could tell that Du Erniang was not a good person.
Fuel efficient lamp.
"Be good, be good," Du Erniang said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you think we should follow mother's wishes?"
Mrs. Meng stretched out her hand and tapped the tip of her nose, and said dissatisfiedly, "I think late autumn will be good. I have already made an agreement with the county magistrate's old lady. Should I tell them now that I want to change?"
"What's so difficult about this," Du Erniang sneered, "I'm the second wife of the Meng family. I can just go and talk to that old lady. Isn't it that I, the second wife, don't have as much dignity as the eldest young lady in Wan Qiu? Besides,
Yes, I am a house filler in late autumn. Does the sister-in-law want to tell others that the princess also married in as a house filler?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Meng glanced at Du Erniang, "I won't tell the old lady anyway. You have to go alone and see if the old lady will give you face."
"Then Sister-in-law has already agreed," Aunt Du smiled sweetly, "Then I will go to the county magistrate's old lady now, Sister-in-law is waiting for my good news."
Mrs. Meng turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to Du Erniang.
Xu Ruoshui saw that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, but he still did not stop Du Erniang from going to the old lady of the county magistrate. Four sedan ladies wearing raincoats carried Du Erniang's sedan out of Chunhui Courtyard.
"Mom, why is the second aunt here suddenly? My daughter-in-law doesn't quite understand what she means." Seeing Mrs. Meng's frown, Xu Ruoshui walked behind her and helped her rub her temples.
After rubbing it for a while, she felt a little better, and Mrs. Meng said, "She was sent by the old lady to check how much money our family has, so she will use this opportunity of getting married to do a thorough investigation."
It turned out that they were here to steal Xu Ruoshui's job. Xu Ruoshui hoped that Du Erniang could convince the old lady of the county magistrate, so that she would not have to interfere with Meng Tianqi's affairs, and avoid the possibility that there would be a mistake in the future that she could not explain clearly.
If the princess wants to become a sister-in-law, it is always good to avoid some things.
"Let's not talk about the second aunt's purpose. My daughter-in-law seems to be right. After all, my daughter-in-law is just a house-filler. Is it unlucky to interfere in the marriage between the second young master and the princess?"
"Look at what you said, do you think she can think of something that I can't think of?" Mrs. Meng raised her eyes and said, "Even the old lady of the county magistrate thinks there is nothing wrong with you. I don't believe that Du Erniang can convince her in the past.
Woman."
Xu Ruoshui then shut up. He couldn't make the decision on these matters. He just had to take it one step at a time.
The rain has been pouring for most of the day. Even Mr. Meng, who returned to the house, shook his head and sighed, "If it rains like this, the harvest in the fields will be reduced."
"God is not kind to me, please don't pay too much attention to me," Mrs. Meng stood up and wiped the water droplets from Mr. Meng's shoulders. Her eyes signaled Xu Ruoshui to leave. Xu Ruoshui understood, so she knelt down and left.
Yan'er had already held an umbrella and was waiting for Xu Ruoshui, but when she put her cloak on her shoulders, she felt a little less cool.
The rain was too heavy, so I had to walk with my umbrella under my head to avoid the rain getting wet on my face. But I didn’t go very far when I bumped into someone. “You are seeking death, you can afford to hurt the young lady.” Fortunately, Yan Yan
Er supported Xu Ruoshui, then took a few steps back and was already in the puddle.
"Yan'er, maybe we bumped into someone. Let's go and have a look." Xu Ruoshui asked Yan'er to raise the umbrella so that he could see clearly who the person was. The person was already sitting in the water with all the clothes on his body.
All my clothes were wet, but I was holding something tightly in my hand.
"Cripple Li," Xu Ruoshui took a closer look and exclaimed.
The cripple Li raised his head and saw that it was the eldest mistress he had just met yesterday. He stood up and walked to Xu Ruoshui on his knees, "eldest mistress, the younger one wants to see the master, and the younger one wants to see the master." There was an eager look on his face.
It makes people wonder if there is something going on, especially since Meng Tianbo has already reminded Mr. Meng about the strange situation of falling into the water.
"Get up quickly, I will take you to find the master," Xu Ruoshui pulled the lame Li, because his knees were knocked when he fell to the ground. When the cripple Li got up, he pulled Xu Ruoshui and almost killed her.
Pulled to the ground.
Fortunately, the lame Li was helped by someone, otherwise it would have been ugly if he fell like this.
"How come you can't even walk any distance?" Meng Tianbo's voice came from above his head.
Xu Ruoshui was too embarrassed to raise his head, "Cripple Li said he wanted to see dad."
"Let's go," Meng Tianbo stretched out his hand to help the lame Li, and took him directly to the flower hall of Chunhui Courtyard. Mrs. Meng and Master Meng had already gone to the inner room at this time, and they didn't know what was going on outside.
"Who are you? Why did you come in without Madam's permission?" Bao Ju heard the noise and came out to take a look. When she saw Meng Tianbo coming in with a strange man, she asked strangely.
Xu Ruoshui had no choice but to turn back. Most of her skirt was wet and she felt a little heavier when walking. But she heard Bao Ju's words and said, "Miss Bao Ju, please call me. This man has something to see him."
"
"Young Mistress, it's not that I didn't call you, but the master has just taken a rest and I can't disturb you anymore." Baoju didn't show Xu Ruoshui's favor because she didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Meng's orders.
When the cripple Li Yi heard that he could not see Master Meng yet, he said anxiously, "Girl, girl, please call me Master, my life is at stake, I beg you." He was about to kowtow to Bao Ju.
But Meng Tianbo didn't let him do this. He clamped his shoulders and said fiercely to Bao Ju, "Why don't you hurry up and call the master out? If you don't call me, do you want me to call him myself?"
Baoju had never seen such a fierce young master. After a pause, she turned around and went to the inner room. She heard whispers in the flower hall. After a while, Mrs. Meng came out first, "It's so noisy.
How decent?"
"Madam, I am young and want to see the master." Li, the lame man, said anxiously.
"What are you looking for with me..." Mr. Meng walked out with his belt buckled. It seemed that he had just rested, so there was not much sleepiness on his face. He just didn't understand why the flower hall was suddenly so busy, "Cripple Li?"
If you don't stay in the flower room, what are you doing here?"
Mr. Meng looked at Meng Tianbo and Xu Ruoshui in confusion, "Is there something wrong with you two?"
"The daughter-in-law and the eldest young master happened to meet the lame man Li. He said he was looking for dad because the matter was urgent, so he had no choice but to disturb dad's rest." Xu Ruoshui apologized and bowed to Mr. Meng.
"You can't talk about anything until the master wakes up. You have to disturb people's peace." Mrs. Meng was the most depressed person. She finally had the opportunity to get close to her, but this was not ruined by her.
Mr. Meng didn't care. After sitting down, he asked, "What do you want from me?"
