For Mrs. Meng, it was a trivial matter to deal with greedy people like Mi. But she didn't want to use too ruthless means and punish her a little bit, so as not to use too much force and make things uncontrollable. Just when she was thinking of a solution, the maid came to report and said that Meng Si was here to pay her respects.

Meng Si and Meng Nian have made rapid progress in the past few months after entering the mansion. Especially Meng Si, they are very serious in learning everything. They especially like to read and practice calligraphy. They have not had a break for several hours after practicing calligraphy. They have a good understanding. Unfortunately, they are a daughter. If they are a man, they will definitely be a good seedling for studying.

From Meng Si, Mrs. Meng seemed to see the shadow of Meng Xiaofu when she was young.

I was wondering before, why Meng Xiaofu, a girl who grew up in the countryside, had the temperament of a lady of a family. She even surpassed several nanny education in every move and had been to Meng Yan, who was a serious student in the boudoir.

Now seeing Meng Si like this, all questions have answers. I think their Meng family's bloodline is prone to such strange seedlings. Meng Si was able to recognize words by lying by the window before, and after entering the mansion, he worked harder. After a few months, he felt like he was reborn. Meng Xiaofu has been in the countryside for more than ten years, and no one disturbed him. Even if he put in less than half of Meng Si's efforts, the effect is amazing. What's more, Meng Xiaofu may not be lazy than Meng Si. Meng Si still needs to take care of her young girls, pay tribute to herself, clean up the house, do needlework, etc. It is definitely not as good as Meng Xiaofu, who can study quietly.

Meng Si brought the roe she had to beat her. Her hands were very clever and the roe was very delicate. She did it once, and when she saw Mrs. Meng liked it, she often did it, and occasionally embroidered some forehead wrinkles and veils.

Mrs. Meng accepted all of them one by one. The exquisite and pleasant things are secondly, mainly because she hopes that Meng Si will be happy. If she refuses other people's gifts, it will also be a kind of harm to some people with low identities.

After Meng Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng understood the principle of being kind to others, and it is more beneficial to help in time than adding icing on the cake.

After taking Luozi and saying a few words, Mrs. Meng suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking about it for a while, she remembered why Meng Si was alone, why did Meng Nian, who was following Meng Si like a little tail on weekdays, didn't come? She asked Meng Si casually.

Meng Si suddenly looked a little nervous and hesitated and said that Meng Nian felt a little uncomfortable. He just rested in the room.

Mrs. Meng saw that it was strange and did not ask questions at the beginning. She only ordered Meng Si to go back to take care of her sister earlier and ask Meng Nian for the doctor. She was a Chinese medicine doctor in the future. The girl's family should take good care of herself.

Meng Si's face turned a little pale, but she still thanked Mrs. Meng.

Just as Meng Si left, Mrs. Meng immediately called the little maid and asked her to go to Meng Si. Meng Nian's yard to find out what was going on.

In the inner courtyard of the Meng family, the maid next to Mrs. Meng wanted to inquire about something, and it was easy to inquire about it, so she quickly came back.

Meng Si didn't lie. Meng Nian was indeed unwell. But it was not sick, it was hurt. Meng Nian was a few years younger and was still a little playful. She couldn't sit and practice calligraphy and needlework like her sister. The day before yesterday, while her sister was studying, she secretly ran to the garden to play. Unexpectedly, she met Meng Yurou who was also wandering in the garden.

Meng Yurou bullied Meng Nian and it became a habit. After meeting, Meng Yurou pushed Meng Nian down. Meng Nian did not suffer any serious injuries, but hit the tree trunk, with a large area of ​​blue on her face.

Their sisters didn't dare to let people know, so they said Meng Nian was sick and wanted to wait until the bruises subside before coming out to see someone.

The really poor child, Mrs. Meng said in her heart, but she didn't want to interfere in this matter. After all, Meng Yurou is Meng Si, Meng Nian's legitimate sister, and her status is one higher than these two sisters. It is very normal for the legitimate child to bully the illegitimate child in the mansion. After all, Mi is Meng Si Meng Nian's legitimate mother. She insists on making a fuss for Meng Si for this little thing, but Meng Nian is not worthy of it.

I think Meng Si can understand such consequences, so he hides them.

In the future, let the nannies watch more carefully. There is no need to make a big deal of things and make trouble.

Meng Si and Meng Nian are not young anymore. As long as the children’s family affairs are not too excessive, it is best for elders not to interfere. People always need to learn to protect themselves, and the weak also have their own way of survival.

Two days later, the manager of the village came to report that it was Mi who made another new request to take Meng Simeng Nian and the others back, saying that he missed his daughter.

It's really ridiculous. Instead of asking for his biological daughter to take her back, she wants to take her daughter who is not related to her. Who believes that?

The woman who can be in charge of the business has always been clever and will not wait for the owner to ask before going back to inquire. She has already found out that somehow Mishi answered a woman in the village next door.

The woman was a businessman and had a lot of money. She had two sons who wanted to marry a lady from a wealthy family before she got married. She didn't expect to get too much money. She had a title of a powerful relative that made corrupt officials and gangsters dare not go to blackmail their family.

I heard Mi said that there were two mistresses in the family who lost money. When I found out that Mi was Meng Ye’s eldest daughter-in-law and Meng was also a high-ranking official, I saw Mi saying that he looked very disgusted when he mentioned these two mistresses, so I was moved and wanted to ask for one for his son.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are the lowest. How could such a family of serious officials marry their family? Looking at the Mi family again, after a little bit of words, he understood Mi's situation very well.

It is estimated that the man married the new wife and sent the eldest son and his family, whom he had given to the countryside, to marry the new wife, to the countryside. The father and son may still have some rift.

It is impossible to get any great benefits from the Meng family in this relationship, but it is impossible to give some money to let Mi marry one of the concubines to his son and have a family who is a high-ranking official. I heard that there is another daughter in the Meng family who is a princess, who is a god-like figure.

If such a relationship is possible, it will be much more convenient for the husband to do business in the future. Maybe this princess and aunt can come to congratulate him and give him a gift. This is worthy of their family's praise for decades, and no one dares to bully him.

So the woman tentatively said a few words. When Mi heard that someone was willing to pay a large betrothal gift to ask for the concubine she despised, how could she refuse? Naturally, she agreed immediately.

Of course, she was not too tempted to be so careless about the Meng family. After all, she was once a lady from a wealthy family. She knew that the Meng family didn't care about their family and would not easily agree to marry a merchant. She didn't dare to tell the truth. She just said that she missed her daughter. After taking Meng Simeng Nian back, she would just send it to a sedan chair. When the Meng family found out, the rice had already been made into a mature meal. What else can it be?

After hearing the butler's narration, Mrs. Meng was so angry that her whole body shivered. This Mi family was really too much.

It seems that she should be warned, but as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. A shrew like Mi only has money in their eyes. She is short-sighted and really wants to make a fuss, but it is not a good thing.

It happened that Meng Si came to pay his respects again.

Mrs. Meng had no other intentions, she just had something in her heart. She wanted to find someone to talk about it, so she told Meng Si about it casually, so that Meng Si would not know it from others and immediately comfort her. She said that she would never let Mi do such a mischief and relieve her. She would definitely find a good family for the two of them in the future.

Who knew that Meng Si lowered his head and thought for a long time before looking up and asking, "Grandma, is the family who is asking for marriage the surname Chu?"

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the manager who was still serving her.

The woman in charge said, "Miss Si's name is indeed Chu. This surname is rare. There are few families nearby, and only one with the surname Chu."

Meng Si blushed and bit her lip and said, "If my grandmother doesn't make things difficult... her granddaughter is willing to marry into the Chu family."

"Why is this?" Mrs. Meng asked in surprise at first, then remembered the marriage between her daughter and Zhou Juren. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind and asked, "Have you met the young master of the Chu family?"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng was a little angry. All the guards in the village were like this. One or two could easily leave the farm for outsiders to meet, so that the guards would not notice it.

"No, no, I haven't seen my granddaughter before, and I don't know the young master of the Chu family." Meng Si was taught by the nanny for so long and knew what the crime of privately giving and receiving was. Even in the countryside, such things were not very glorious.

"Why? You must know that this is a lifelong event for you. You really don't have to mind. If your mother is, as long as she has grandmother here, she will not bully you." Mrs. Meng still felt a little pity for Meng Si, a sensible child.

"The granddaughter has never met Mr. Chu, but she has seen Aunt Chu." Meng Si's eyes showed deep gratitude and told the whole story.

It turned out that Mengshen's family was sent to the village at first, but Mengshen ran out and never came back. After that, Mi was in a bad mood and vented her anger on both sides of her sisters all day long, beating and scolding her at every turn. Sometimes she couldn't even eat enough.

That day, the two sisters had not finished their grains for two days. Meng Nian couldn't stand it. He held the frozen pine ball and chewed it all over his mouth.

Meng Si couldn't bear it, so he secretly got out of the dog hole in the corner to find food.

At that time, the snow in winter had not melted and the soil was frozen stiff. Where can I find food? After walking for a while, she heard the barking of dogs. She felt that there was a barking of dogs, and she could beg for some food. She went there.

I didn't see anyone, but I saw a big dog tied behind me. There was a dog basin in front of me, full of leftover rice.

Meng Si was cold and hungry at that time, and his mind was numb.

At that time, I didn't even think about it. I snatched up the food when I saw it, picked up the dog's rice and ran away.

The dog yelled, attracting a big man who raised a dog, and caught up with her in just a few steps.

When she thought she was about to be beaten, the man looked at her a few times and said pitiful. Then he said that this was for dogs and people couldn't eat it. There was leftover steamed buns in the kitchen, so she asked her to wait outside.

Then the big man and a woman came out and took a small basket of steamed buns, saying that they were given to her.

The woman also said that her husband's surname was Chu, and everyone called her Aunt Chu, who was the mistress of this house. In the future, she would just come here when she was hungry. She could still afford a few buns of steamed buns, so there was no need to...

Meng Si blushed, and the last few words couldn't be said.

But Mrs. Meng guessed it, and thought that the woman said she didn't have to compete with the evil dog for food.

This is probably the case with the grace of a meal. Aunt Chu must have left Meng Si a very good impression, so Meng Si was moved when she heard that the Chu family was proposing to marry.

The Aunt Chu mentioned by Meng Si seems to be a little different from the one mentioned by the housekeeper. Of course, people are multifaceted, and kind-hearted people may not have no scheming.

But Mrs. Meng felt that maybe this was fate.

Since Meng Si is willing, let’s inquire about the character of the Chu son. If he is also a serious person, what if Meng Si’s wish is fulfilled?

I think Meng Si longs for a relative who can give her a few buns of steamed buns when she is hungry and cold. The rich clothes and food he gives her may not be more precious than a few buns of steamed buns. She is so pitiful to a little girl like a beggar, and she will probably not be too bad to her daughter-in-law.

I wanted to find a good home for Meng Si, but this good home is hard to find after all. I have a good family and a poor family. I feel wronged that Meng Si has a good family and a poor family. I feel too complicated. I feel sorry for this child being oppressed by his mother in the first half of his life. I believe that I don’t want to live under the shadow of others in the second half of his life.

It is human nature to Meng Si to have a kind mother-in-law, and it is not impossible for the Chu family to do so.

I used to think that Meng Si had the shadow of Meng Xiaofu, and that she worked hard in learning things, and that she also wanted to fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix. I didn't expect that this girl was quite an idea and was not fascinated by wealth.

This is more similar to his daughter Meng Yan.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng didn't know why, a thought flashed through her mind. Does Xiaofu really like to fly to the branches and be a phoenix? She had never thought about this problem before she got married. Now, it seems that Xiaofu did not show much joy before she got married, and even got sick.

Mrs. Meng didn't dare to think about it, so she quickly shook off the absurd thoughts in her mind and transferred her thoughts back to Meng Si.

With Meng Si's identity, it is unrealistic to join a wealthy family with a simple population and good fortune. It is better to be a small family than a small family. Even if she is a family of a merchant, people will not look down on her. Some of the rules she learned are enough for a small family to spend a lifetime, so you don't have to worry about taking a wrong step.

This marriage also wants to be promoted. As long as the Chu son has no bad habits and is an honest person, this marriage will have the best of both worlds.

The only trouble now is what Meng would think. Now that he is constantly learning the style of a literati, will he agree to marry his granddaughter into a merchant family?

However, who can guarantee that all girls can marry a good family and a man can marry a lady from a family? I think Mengshen wouldn't care too much about these things.

At worst, I can use Xiaofu to suppress him. Anyway, Xiaofu is now staying in the door, and Meng has few opportunities to see her, so he will not confront Xiaofu for such a small matter.

The great families said that they were a bit particular, but there were many families who were not valued for marrying into the low family. As long as they were not widely publicized, who could care about these trivial matters? Men outside must not like to ask around like ordinary aunts and sisters. (To be continued ~^~)
