Foster son and husband

Chapter 250 Teaching
During the old lady's illness, Zhuang Yulan dragged her pregnancy and came down three times accompanied by her husband-in-law Shi Songmao. She wanted to visit her aunt, but every time the fourth or sixth master followed. The mother-in-law came out of the front hall to talk back and forth. She only said that the old lady was recuperating and saw no outsiders.The presents I brought are left behind, I think her filial piety is commendable, and the Hou Mansion also returns gifts every time, which are full of high-grade silk, satin, silk cloth or rare ornaments made of gold, silver and jade, some of which are from the palace , compared to the gifts brought by their husband and wife, they are more valuable than others.

Seeing this, Shi Songmao finally gave up, knowing that Xu Junying didn't take him seriously, and when they met in court, they might gossip, and if they wanted to go to the Hou's mansion for private interviews, that was impossible.There is only a speechless sigh, has this career in this life entered the retirement stage?I'm really not reconciled!
Meimei couldn't help asking why Xu Junying didn't see Shi Songmao, and Xu Junying said, "If you don't want to see him, then don't!"

"Is it because he married your cousin Lan?"

"Where did you think?" Xu Junying glanced at her: "It's better for you to know less about the affairs of the court, and it's still in the past... To be an official in the same dynasty, the political views must be the same, but everyone acts differently, what the court wants It's just the result, I don't agree with what he did, if someone else did that thing, the ending might be better, no regrets!"

"What does the emperor think of him?"

"The emperor got the result he wanted, regardless of the rest, he gave the reward that should be given, let's stop here, let's not talk about the past. Now he has returned to the court to serve as a second-rank bachelor. Since he is in an idle position, he should know the holy will , you should be content with the status quo and cultivate in peace, if you are not willing to be lonely and ostentatious and offend the emperor, then you have to find another place to spend your old age."

Meimei listened and looked at the withered and rolled up lotus leaves in the pool. She couldn't help but sighed quietly. Xu Junying smiled and said, "Why are you sighing? You don't seem like someone who can cherish spring and autumn!"

Meimei also laughed: "I don't care about spring and autumn, spring blossoms and autumn fruits, how nice it is to enjoy that time! I let Cui Lian and Cui Si harvest the sweet-scented osmanthus in the east courtyard. What about the lotus leaves in this pond? Take it back?"

Xu Junying said: "There are lotus leaves every year, what do you want to do?"

"Medicine is used for cooking. My wife needs half a piece of lotus leaf to cover the medicine pot for cooking. In winter, if you want to eat chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed meat with lotus flavor powder, where can you find lotus leaves? The leaves in the pond have been frost-beaten, if they are not put away in time, they will rot after an autumn rain, take them back, dry them carefully and seal them up, it will be convenient to use at any time!"

"According to what you said, the dead leaves in the pond have become a rarity! Give it to Bao Ju and Bai Zhan, they will take back every single one left!"

Xu Junying held Meimei's shoulders with a smile, walked back from the pool, and said softly: "Are you worried about me just now? Are you afraid that we will also suffer this cold reception? Don't worry! At least for the past few decades, the emperor still needs me As the right arm and the right arm, apart from the friendship between the monarch and his ministers growing up together and the life-and-death friendship on the battlefield, I have a tacit understanding with him, that is to support and support each other, and we will never lose each other throughout our lives!"

Meimei stopped and looked at him sideways: "That sounds weird!"

Xu Junying was puzzled: "How strange?"

"In my imagination, the emperor and you... are a bit like another King Qi and Jian Yu!"

After Meimei finished speaking, she ran away with a smile. Xu Junying was stunned for a while, raised her hands, and rushed over like an eagle catching a chicken: "How dare you... how dare you think that way! Meimei, you are too bad!"

Fortunately, the willow trees by the pool covered most of their bodies, otherwise Heng'er, who was playing with the girls not far away, would have been able to open his eyes.

At the end of September, Xu Xiaorong got married. Someone from the Liang family in Yuzhou was already an official in Beijing. It was Uncle Liang's uncle, Liang Jinjiang, the Minister of Honglu Temple. He was the one who took the lead in discussing the marriage for his nephew. As a daughter, he adopted Liang Yongzhi, who was more progressive among his nephews, into his own name. The Liang family was originally a well-off and small family in the local area with little reputation, but Liang Jinjiang, an official of the fourth grade Honglu Temple, asked to marry his adoptive son. It is beyond reproach that the concubine gave birth to a daughter. The person who came to propose marriage was the cousin of the old lady of the Anlehou family, the old lady of the colleague. She was decent. At that time, the bad news of the death of the old seven in the battle had not yet reached home, but the eldest wife was unwilling to plan for the concubine. Mrs. Xu made the decision to accept the marriage. After Xu Junying returned to Beijing, Liang Jinjiang brought his nephew to visit again. Xu Junying and his brother had a chat with the father and son. The six Xu Junxuan took the scientific examination at the same time, and they agreed with this in-law in their hearts, and agreed on the date of marriage.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yongzhi was unable to take the exam because his mother was suddenly seriously ill and had to rush back to his hometown, so he missed this subject.Liang Jinjiang is very broad-minded. After adopting his nephew, he married him, but it did not prevent him from honoring his biological parents. Liang Yong knew that he had already achieved success in raising his son, so he had to take the exam two years later. Running around outside, there are younger brothers and sisters under him, the younger brother is also studying, and the younger sister is already at the end of life, Liang Yongzhi is worried about the family, so he begged his uncle to allow him to marry a wife and return to his hometown. After two years, he will return to Beijing to take the exam. From then on, he will serve with his wife at home Uncle and aunt.

When Aunt Zhou heard about this, she was reluctant to leave her daughter and burst into tears. Xu Junxuan felt sorry for her aunt and came to discuss with Meimei. That's it, the same uncle came to Beijing to study and take the exam, a house can be given to Xu Xiaojuan, why can't it be given to Xu Xiaorong?

Xu Junying then discussed with Xu Junting and Xu Junxuan that apart from the dowry gold and silver farm shop and other properties, they should buy another house, which is about the same size as Xu Xiaojuan's.Liang Yongzhi and Xu Xiaorong didn't have to go back to their hometown after they got married. The Houfu sent an official boat guard to pick up his family and went to Beijing for a reunion. Gossiping in the cubicle, Meimei took Xu Xiaorong's hand, and said in front of the sisters-in-law and the other two girls: "Although you are a married girl, the door of your mother's house is always open to you at any time. I will always support you. But I still hope that you can give full play to your ingenuity, be virtuous and intelligent, devote yourself to caring for your husband and raising your children, and personally manage your marriage and family well, so that you can live a happy and fulfilling life, so that you will live your life in vain! "

Xu Xiaorong nodded and said: "My sister will do it with her heart, and she will definitely teach herself to live a good life. Please rest assured, sisters-in-law!"

After everyone had dispersed, she whispered in Meimei's ear, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I'm going to marry for a year. I've learned a lot, but I'd rather watch my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law run the house. I might learn Not as good as that, but I'll do it, I'm not a big sister, I don't want my life to be that messy!"

Meimei looked at her with a smile: "Ghost girl! But you have to remember: your family is very complicated. You have two pairs of parents-in-law and three younger siblings. Your husband is a dutiful son. Apart from following him, you should be filial and treat your younger siblings well." , but you have to teach him to distinguish clearly, Liang Jinjiang and his wife are the official parents, and he may not be able to leave him there, but he can't be indiscriminate - it seems that it is wrong to say that, after all, he was born and raised... Then you can wait in your heart , even in secret, you can treat him the same way, but on the surface, you have to put on an appearance? Let people look at him comfortably, after all, it was his uncle who supported him. Without his uncle, he could not have won the fame of raising a son so quickly, and he would not be able to marry such a good wife. ?”

Xu Xiaorong blushed and shook her hand: "Sister-in-law..."

Meimei said: "It's the truth, I think you are very nice! Well - let your brothers teach you how to pretend later, you see they are the best at pretending to be a good grandson in front of the old lady!"

Meimei watched Xu Xiaorong's head drooping to her chest, feeling bad, when Xu Junying's pretendingly calm voice came from behind:
"What are you talking about?"

Turning his face quickly, he saw the three Dafang brothers and Liang Yongzhi standing by the door, except for Xu Junying, all of them had smiles on their faces.

Meimei said: "Ah, you guys! This is a resting place for women, why don't you let me know and come in?"

Xu Junxuan said with a smile: "Second Brother Xifu and the others have already walked back. This is our own family, so we came in."

Xu Junying looked at her: "If you don't come in quickly, I still don't know how you taught my sister!"

Liang Yongzhi turned dignified, took two steps forward, bowed to Meimei, and said:
"My brother-in-law heard it clearly. My uncle and sister-in-law taught me very well! My brother-in-law will never fail my uncle and aunt. I will support and serve my parents for life, and I will do the same for my biological parents. My husband and I, I only wish to do what the old man wants." it is good!"

Meimei looked at Liang Yongzhi, smiled and nodded: "Take your time, the elders are brothers, it shouldn't be difficult to communicate and get along with each other, as long as you and your husband put your heart into it! It's just that this family has short stories, and outsiders can't know, our girl is at home. She has been pampered, but when she comes to your house, she has to take on such tedious and complicated tasks. No matter how smart and capable she is, there will always be moments of confusion. You can't be anxious with her. If the elders blame you, you should be more considerate The difficulty of my own wife!"

"Yes! Don't worry, sister-in-law, my family background is different from others, and I have a lot of responsibility. Xiao Rong is willing to marry me and share the joys and sorrows with me. This is a great blessing, and I should cherish it!"

When it was time to send her out of the house, Xu Junying came to settle accounts with Meimei: "How could you say such things to your sister? Let my brother-in-law listen to it, it's too shameful!"

"Who told you to come in without being informed by your mother-in-law? It's too unpleasant? What you said earlier was even more exciting. It's a pity that you didn't come in time!"

Meimei avoided him: "What's there to be ashamed of? What I'm telling is the truth, and Liang Yongzhi agrees with it!"

"Liang Yong knows Liang Yong knows! Call me brother-in-law, don't call me by name directly!"

Xu Junying was not happy: "Looking at someone like that, what is that look called?"

Meimei laughed angrily: "I always look at people like that, so it's hard...it's really inexplicable!"

"Do you think he's nice?"

"It's already very good! He is also a personable and elegant scholar. Liang Yongzhi can tell at a glance that he is a decent gentleman. His whole body is pure bookish, and his behavior is stable and dignified..."

Xu Junying stopped and looked at her with a frown: "That's fine, why bother to praise other people's husbands so much?"

Meimei glanced at him and walked in front of him: "I haven't praised my husband yet, if I do..."

Xu Junying followed closely: "How?"

"That's peach blossoms flying around!"
