The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 100: Chongqing

That's why every year on May [-]th, Dongshi is called the fan market, and there are a lot of cars and horses, and there are fan buyers coming and going.

She had celebrated this festival in the mortal world before, and she probably knew that before the excitement, every household, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, had to be too busy to leave their feet. Therefore, the eldest aunt, as the mistress of the Meng family, came over to tell her about her maternal family. Her cousin came and then went about his business, which she understood very well.

After all, you can grow orchids by yourself, weave longevity threads by yourself, and make sachets by yourself, but you may not be able to draw the five-season pattern on the plague-avoiding fan by yourself. She doesn't know about other common affairs. Only the plague-avoiding fan is the one, the eldest aunt is sure. People have to buy it early.

When I bought it, my uncle and mother had to look it over for themselves, and there must be no mistakes.

But don't you have to be busy day and night.

When she came to the front yard with the orb, she knew that the Shang family was really busy, and she didn't tell her that there were other people. After she stepped into the peace, she saw the Ji family sitting with Meng Renping. son.

With Meng Renping and Ji Kuan around, even though Zeng Zhongqi had saved a lot of things to say when he came, he could only say one sentence in the end: "After Chaochaomumu returned from the Peach Blossom Banquet, she kept thinking about sending this lantern to her cousin. , I happened to be on duty early today, so I sent it to my cousin."

"Thank you, cousin. Thank you for your help, cousin." Meng Shisan took the rabbit lantern and played with it happily for a long time.

Zeng Qi was also very happy to see that Meng Shisan really liked rabbit lanterns again. His face was full of smiles, which softened his rigid outline a lot. Withdrawing it bit by bit, heartache and pity filled my chest.

When Meng Jingmei heard that Zeng Chongqi was coming, she wanted to follow Meng Liangchen to the Qingming Hall in the front yard. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Mrs. Wu: "Her maternal cousin is here, what does it have to do with you?"

"Meng Liangchen is my daughter's elder sister. Her cousin is also my daughter's cousin!" Meng Meili hated the Wu family's separation of the Zeng family from the mother and daughter. She always wanted to get closer. However, her mother always didn't want her to get close to him, "When cousin Zeng comes, my daughter should go along and say hello."

"Master Zeng is not your cousin. If you want to see your cousin, I'll ask Ah Hao to come over." Wu's natal family has a nephew who is the only son of her elder brother.

Meng Jingmei curled her lips and said, "I don't want him" when he mentioned his real maternal cousin Wu Shaohao.

At this moment Wu Shi finally heard something: "What do you mean? You only want to get close to your elder sister's cousin, but your own cousin doesn't want to get close?"

"How can it be compared? Cousin Zeng is a talented person. He is already a member of the fifth rank, several ranks higher than his uncle. Not to mention that cousin Hao is just a scholar!" Meng Meili really didn't understand such a simple distinction. , why couldn't her mother see it!

There is no comparison at all.

When Wu heard this, she felt a little dizzy, and her body swayed slightly while sitting on the couch.

Meng Meili, who was sitting on the other side of the couch, saw this and quickly stood up to support Wu: "Mother!"

"It's nothing." Fang Jiang Wu's eyes suddenly went dark. During those few breaths of darkness, she suddenly realized that she was wrong. Well done, now, the daughter actually wants to climb into the stepdaughter's natal family, but her real natal family is as abandoned as trash, she waved her hand, "Sit back, mother has something to tell you."

"Oh." Meng Meili sat back obediently.

"Although your uncle is only a promoted official of the sixth grade of the Beijing Yamen, it is your uncle who took the imperial examination step by step. Relying on his own ten years of hard work, he was able to stay in the capital as an official." Thinking back to the past, I thought of the situation when my parents were in poverty for my elder brother to study when I was not married, and I thought of the fact that my parents are no longer there, and the life of my natal family has improved a lot because she married into the Meng family and the elder brother became an official. She still can't be called rich, and her brother and sister-in-law are still living in poverty, so she can't bear it, but she really doesn't have the ability, "Although Ah Hao is only a scholar, don't forget, your father has only been a scholar until now, And it has stopped here, and Ah Hao is different, he is only 15 years old, he can still take scientific examinations, his future is bright!"

"Brother Hao, so what if he can become a Jinshi? Like my uncle, he will end up as a secondary official. How can he have a bright future?" Meng Meimei felt that her mother was thinking too simply, so she had unrealistic fantasies. "Although my father can only have the fame of a scholar in this life, but my father is the son of a heavenly official, so my father will not live up to it. If not, I will ask my grandfather to arrange an official position for my father, even if it is an idle yamen. Even if my father doesn’t have an idle job in the village, he would be willing to be mediocre and idle around, and he would still enjoy all the glory and wealth. But Uncle and Cousin Hao, can they? They can’t!”

Wu was immediately speechless by Meng Meili. She stared blankly at her daughter who could analyze family differences so thoroughly, and was shocked for a moment.

She couldn't deny that what her daughter said was very reasonable, and why didn't she understand this truth? If she didn't understand, why had she been so harsh on her stepdaughter all these years and deducted her money every month just to subsidize her parents' family more? , so that Ahao can study with peace of mind, become a Jinshi like his elder brother, enter the officialdom, and make the Wu family prosperous.

But she thought about it a lot, but she didn't expect that her daughter had already figured it out on her own.

Family status is very important. Sometimes it can affect a person's fortune more than talent. This is the reality. It is the difference between a noble son from a high family and a noble son from a poor family. It is the key that determines whether they can spread their wings and fly in this life. , and it is the fundamental factor that determines whether they can be satisfied in this life.

The elder brother worked hard, and half his life passed, but the official position was easily available to the husband as soon as he stretched out his hand. With the elder brother, it was Guangzong Yaozong, but with the husband, he chose to abandon it.

The girl is right. If the eldest brother does not get help, his life will end when he is elected to the imperial government. The husband she married is incompetent and willing to enjoy himself. Although he is the son of a heavenly official, he will not even have his own future. I have never fought for it, let alone helped my uncle.

The eldest uncle is very powerful, he is the next head of the Meng family after the father-in-law, but her husband dare not mention it to the father-in-law, she is even more afraid, the second room is in the Meng family, and she has no confidence to make any demands, and she has been married for so many years , From the initial unwillingness to the later habit, she was numb.

If the daughter didn't mention it, she would have forgotten that no matter how successful her nephew was, he would most likely end up like his eldest brother, struggling all his life to become a sixth-rank official in the capital.

After being silent for a while, Wu Shifang recovered his voice and asked, "So you want to recognize Meng Liangchen's natal family as your natal family instead of the real natal family where your uncle and cousin Hao are?"
