The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 66 Shi Chunchen

After Meng Shisan left, Meng Renji looked at the 7000 taels in his hand, unable to recover for a long time.

He has just returned to the Meng Mansion, although his aunt has arranged his daily life properly, fed him well and dressed him warmly, he needs to take care of his body, and even specifically asked the big kitchen to give him blunt soup every now and then, which is really good for him Very good.

Compared with the days in Zhuangzi in the western suburbs, the days now are like gods.

But according to the rules of the Meng Mansion, the young lady gets three taels of monthly silver, and the young master who is still studying has five taels of monthly silver. Except that the eldest cousin is already the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu and has his own monthly salary, he and Santang Like the younger brother and the fourth brother, they all received five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver, in the past when he was living in Zhuangzi, he didn't need much, [-]% could be saved, but now in the Meng Mansion, he still wants to learn how to read and use it to buy books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. not enough.

He also thought about buying some low-quality ones for use, but was reminded by Wen Fang: "Young master, now you are the second son of the Meng family, the food and use must not be too bad, if not, you will be looked down upon, and gossip will arise." here."

Wen Yuan also said: "Young master, please don't underestimate the gossip in the public. Gossip can destroy an innocent girl's family, and it can even destroy a concubine who is not favored in the first place."

The Meng family is an aristocratic family in the capital, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and with its back to the East Palace, it is watched by many pairs of eyes all the time. If he uses inferior things that cause the Meng family to be criticized, the noble master of the Shangshu Mansion cannot afford to use them. Once the fine pens, black papers and inkstones are used by someone with intentions, they will inevitably cause some trouble to the Meng family.

In the past, he was abandoned by Zhuangzi, and he was left to take care of his own life and death. Even if some officials could not see it and spoke outrightly, given the power of the Meng family, they could point fingers at a deer and a horse, saying that he was suffering from an illness. It doesn't matter if you don't correct your mistakes, it's not a word from the Meng family.

It's very different now.

The eldest sister brought him back to the Meng Mansion in such a high-profile manner, exposing him to the public, and clearly informed everyone that there was a second son in the Meng Mansion, and that Miss Meng protected him, and they were finally connected by blood. , deep brotherhood, he Meng Renji is not an abandoned son of the Meng family.

He also knew what the Meng family said after that.

It was Wen Yuan who told him: "My lord, it's been rumored that the lord has been recuperating at Zhuangzi for the past ten years, and now that he's recovered, he will be taken back to the Meng Mansion. At his age, it's time to marry him." "

My grandfather was preoccupied with government affairs, my grandmother was in charge of the inner house, and my eldest aunt was in charge of the central government. These words were told by my grandmother, and she arranged for the servants of the Meng family to spread them to every corner of the house.

One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, and the false becomes true.

Ten years of ignoring and ignoring, once he got back, it was only in exchange for his grandmother's light words to recuperate, and he never forgot him. The last sentence that he should say kiss is the best proof.

After all, if you really abandon him, how can you worry about his life-long affairs?

It can be said that he was born as a concubine and lived like a servant in Zhuangzi for ten years. How could such a vulgar and untalented man get a good marriage? How powerful could his own grandmother be and what could she say to him? So close.

In the end, it was just a scene that had to be said for the sake of the Meng family's face.

Meng Renji knew in his heart that in this mansion, the only one who really cared about him and thought about him was his elder sister.

He was short of money, and even wanted to read and practice calligraphy again, but he didn't dare to make any big noises in reading, and he didn't dare to tell anyone about his difficulties. He could only calculate quietly, thinking of his own consideration, but also worried about his own incompetence, and finally had nothing to do.

Today Wenyuan went to Kunzheng Pavilion to buy rice paper, which was the last tael of May silver.

The 7000 taels sent by his eldest sister were undoubtedly a rain in a time of drought for him who was already penniless.

Seeing that Meng Renji was staring at the bank note without making a sound, Wen Fang thought over and over again: "My lord, Missy really treats you well."

"Yeah." Meng Renji responded, thinking that one day he would repay his eldest sister for her sincerity towards him.

The old lady Meng was indeed waiting for news, but she sent Shang Xia to the front yard twice, but did not get an answer. It was not until Meng Shisan went to the upper room and raised the curtain to enter the room that she finally knew that the prince's grandson had sent Chang Qing again. do what.

Since the last unhappy breakup, Baozhu Jinyin was very worried, and Shangchun also used excuses from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, to explain a truth to Meng Shisan, that is, as long as Meng Shisan does not leave the cabinet for one day, Meng Shisan, who lost his mother, will Only by hugging Old Mrs. Meng's thigh tightly can Meng Shisan get the best arrangement for the subsequent marriage talks, engagement, and marriage.

It's not that Meng Shisan doesn't understand this truth.

She understands very well.

It just takes a moment for her to bow her head first.

Today, Li Shou helps her get the compensation from Lu Luo, so the time has come.

So as soon as he entered the room, Meng Shisan was smiling like the warm sun in early spring, so harmless as if the scene where she choked on the old lady Meng had never happened.

The old lady Meng is an old man. She can see through the thoughts of the eldest granddaughter, and she was waiting for the steps. Seeing this, she also showed great care to Meng Shisan, and asked carefully about today's Changqing Guofu. Things.

Meng Shisan answered carefully, and finally said: "Grandmother, Your Highness is really kind, and I don't know when His Highness will come to the mansion again, so Yaoyao can thank His Highness face to face."

"It's hard to say." The old lady Meng couldn't tell for sure, but seeing that Meng Shisan refused to even drink the tea brought by Li Shou a while ago, but now he can ask when Li Shou will come, it seems that the two have a good relationship She was delighted with the progress, "There is no rush, it will always come, and it will not be too late for you to thank His Highness in person."

"Hmm." That's all there is to it.

Old Madam Meng brought up the incident at the Peach Blossom Banquet again: "Sister Jing is ignorant and fought with the eldest daughter of the Dong family. As the eldest sister, you should dissuade him, how can you not dissuade him, say something, and add insult to injury? "

Grandmother didn't know the inside story, but she deliberately provoked Meng Meimei and Dong Linglong's quarrel that day, so as to attract them to fight.

And on the day when the banquet ended, as soon as Baozhu came back, she reported all the things that happened at the banquet to her grandmother truthfully. Before that, her grandmother didn't settle the score with her. Now, after calculating it now, she probably has something else to say. explain.

Meng Shisan couldn't help pricking up his ears, and obediently said: "Yes, Yaoyao will pay attention to it in the future."

"I remember that in a few days, it will be Miss Dong's birthday. You and Sister Jing will take this opportunity to go to Dong's mansion together to congratulate Miss Dong. The fight at the peach blossom banquet will be over." In the end, the real purpose of the old lady Meng is not to hurt the friendship between Meng and Dong's family because of the rift between the juniors.

As early as after the Peach Blossom Banquet, Meng Shisan also inquired about the Dong family's attitude towards the seizure of heirs. The result was that they were neutral. Dong Bu, Dong's right servant, was actually a completely pure minister.
