The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 227 What Happened in Meng Mansion and Shen Mansion (2)
After hearing Master Meng Er's words, Xue Yaoxi didn't show any unnecessary expression, and still had that cold expression, directly ignoring the behavior of Master Meng Er who felt good about himself.

Seeing that Xue Yaoxi did not admit his mistakes at all, Master Meng continued to speak.He said angrily, "Is this what your mother taught you when you were young? You are rude to your elders, and you still admit your mistakes?"

"My mother died a long time ago, so I didn't have time to teach me these things. Besides, I was not wrong!" Hearing the other party mention his mother, Xue Yaoxi's mentality changed a little, and he refuted in time.After seeing Master Meng Er's expression, he said sarcastically, "I'm alone now and have no relatives. As for those of you who haven't heard from my mother since her death, you still expect me to treat you as elders. ?"

"You?" Second Master Meng pointed at Xue Yaoxi, and was speechless after being refuted.

"Okay, second child, it's time for you to change your temper. How can you be more serious with the younger generation?" Elder Meng broke the dull atmosphere with a voice, and said something to the second master Meng, ready to make peace with him.He had been listening to Xue Yaoxi's words just now, knowing that Xue Yaoxi would not easily recognize them, and it didn't matter whether they were called or not, as long as the next thing was done well, everything would be fine.

"Okay, it's useless to say more. Before you sent someone to tell me that I had a marriage contract with Miss Fifth in the mansion, but is it true?" Xue Yaoxi didn't intend to continue dealing with these people, and went straight to today's topic, asking road.

"Yes, there is indeed a marriage contract. It was made when your mother was alive." Hearing Xue Yaoxi's question, Mr. Meng said, and after seeing the other party's expression, he continued to speak, telling the details of the marriage. The reason explained again, "At that time, your mother just came back and saw Xiaoyao who was just born..."

After Mr. Meng's narration, the marriage is a certainty, and after the talk, he also showed the evidence left by each other at that time, which can be said to be well prepared.If Xue Yaoxi hadn't checked this matter in advance, he would have been fooled by Mr. Meng today.

"I don't know this marriage, when are you going to do it?" After Mr. Meng finished speaking, he kept observing Xue Yaoxi, and when he saw that the other party was indifferent, he had no choice but to ask, as if he was driving a duck to the shelves.

"Yeah, Young Master Xue is not young anymore. Now that he has an official position, he should start a family. That girl Xiaoyao is also good-looking, and you two are considered a match." Fourth Master Meng interjected.It may be because of the concubine's daughter that the fourth master Meng's words are a little accommodating.

Master Meng San raised his head and glanced at Xue Yaoxi, wanting to say something, but found that he had no position.It is estimated that he should be the one who understands the most among these people.

"Whether we get married or not has nothing to do with me? Are you sure you didn't arrange this matter yourself?" Xue Yaoxi said after listening to the persuasion of several people.

The masters of the Meng Mansion choked again at Xue Yaoxi's rhetorical question.There is no way, Xue Yaoxi has no sense of fear towards them, and he is not their son, so there is no need to respect each other.What's more, they didn't care about Xue Yaoxi at all in what they did these years. These actions are destined to not get Xue Yaoxi's respect.

After seeing the distorted expressions on the faces of several people, Xue Yaoxi continued to say, "As far as I know, the fifth lady in the mansion is a concubine, and there is no marriage contract between us, and even the evidence is fake. The piece of jade pendant was found from your storeroom. I know all about the secret conversations you had last night, so I don’t think I need to repeat it here, right?” In order to completely dispel their thoughts, Xue Yaoxi said more on purpose One sentence.

"You?" Elder Meng, who had been in a calm state all this time, was not calm after hearing Xue Yaoxi's words. He didn't expect that Xue Yaoxi would see all their plans, and was tricked by the other party like a clown.

"Since you know, why do you still come to the house today?" Master Meng San asked, there was no displeasure in being teased in his tone, he just wanted to know Xue Yaoxi's thoughts.

"To completely dispel your thoughts." Xue Yaoxi replied to Master Meng San.Then he stood up and said to several people in the hall, "I have nothing to do with the Meng Mansion, so don't send people to look for me in the future. Since you have been able to ignore me for more than ten years, you will also It can be done, my honor and disgrace have nothing to do with your residence."

After Xue Yaoxi finished speaking, he walked out. For the sake of his dead mother, Xue Yaoxi severed relations with these people today because of his "nice words".

The news of Xue Yaoxi's departure was soon known to all the ladies and ladies waiting in the backyard.Everyone walked to the front yard together, ready to inquire about some news.

When I walked to the living room in the front yard, I realized that the atmosphere inside was a bit subtle, and the expressions of the masters were a little unhappy.Mrs. Meng was the first to speak, asking tentatively.

After leaving the four wives behind and driving the young ladies back to the courtyard, Elder Meng recounted what happened today.Mrs. Meng was still disappointed that the marriage fell through.After being instructed by Master Meng, the four wives each went to ask their own daughters.Meng Xiaoyao, who was looking forward to marrying Xue Yaoxi, burst into tears when she learned about this.It didn't take long for Mrs. Meng to be engaged in her marriage. Of course, this is a later story.

In the afternoon, Master Meng called his sons and nephews to the study, gave them instructions, and told them that they could make friends with Xue Yaoxi if they had a chance.So far, the matter of Xue Yaoxi's marriage contract in the Meng Mansion has been resolved, but Mr. Meng still did not give up his plan to win over Xue Yaoxi.

Why did Mr. Meng try to win over Xue Yaoxi so actively?Let's start with Xue Yaoxi leading troops out for training.After the training of the soldiers under Xue Yaoxi for a month, Mr. Meng also heard about it in the Ministry of War. He thought that Xue Yaoxi had potential in leading troops.

Today's border has begun to be turbulent, and there have been several small-scale wars recently, and there are signs of intensification.The border has been quiet for many years, and a big war may break out one day. At that time, the people who lead the troops to fight will be particularly important.If Xue Yaoxi was sent to the battlefield, it would be very easy for him to be promoted based on his talent. Such a person must establish a good relationship in advance.Of course, these are all guesses by Elder Meng himself based on the information he received from the Ministry of War.Information about the border is currently kept secret, and Mr. Meng also learned of it by accident.

After Xue Yaoxi finished his vacation, he went straight back to the barracks and continued training.This time back, the superiors in the barracks treated him much better.

Brother Qiu and Brother Dong quickly finished their dinner and went back to the study to study their homework.There are few people around, and I always feel that eating is boring. Coupled with the fact that the weather is getting colder and colder, the whole mansion is deserted.

"Third Young Master. Fourth Young Master, this is a letter from someone today." Ming Yan took out a letter while talking.This letter was delivered during the day, and then it was handed over to Mingyan at the concierge.
