When did it arrive?
What about the messenger?
”Zhao Chonglin was puzzled, why did the letter come again so quickly when he came half a month ago?
He Pozi said, "The person who delivered the letter was the coachman who sent the passengers back and forth, and it was delivered at noon. ”Since it was sent by the coachman, it shouldn't be a hurry, Zhao Chonglin pinched the envelope and didn't plan to open it, but kept it until his daughter-in-law woke up and opened it himself.Maybe it was their sister and brother who whispered, such as taking her home sooner or later, and not letting her be wronged by him.Second Master Zhao holds a grudge, and he hasn't forgotten what his brother-in-law said.Suddenly, I remembered and instructed Mrs.
He, "Cook some nourishing ones for Mrs. in the past few days." ”"Hey, I'm going to buy a pigeon and come back to stew."
Mrs.
He went out to buy pigeons and ingredients with a basket of vegetables, in fact, she also felt that Mrs. should make up for it.Meng Jiaojiao slept very soundly this night, and it was already dark when she woke up.As soon as she moved, she was discovered by Zhao Chonglin, "Wake up." ”The candle was lit, and she could see the approaching person."
Why doesn't Xianggong light up the lights in the house?""
I just came in for a while, and when I woke up, I got up to eat."
Zhao Chonglin put the candlestick on the head of the bed and sat directly on the edge of the bed, and reached out to scoop the person up.Seeing that she was still dazed and too lazy to move, Zhao Chonglin said, "Haochang came to the letter, got up and ate to see what he said." ”Sure enough, as soon as she heard the letter from her younger brother, Meng Jiaojiao instantly sobered up, sat up from the man's arms and faced him, and began to dress herself."
When did you come?
Didn't Xianggong see it?
”There was nothing from the letter from home that he couldn't read, and Meng Jiaojiao didn't feel that there was anything to hide from him.Zhao Chonglin squinted at her and smiled, "I opened the letter of your sister and brother, and if you want to know the content, you will get up and eat quickly, and I will show you after eating." ”Only then did she remember to ask Shichen, "Can Chongliang and Qiu Niang eat?"
”"As long as the two of us didn't eat, let Mrs.
He stew soup for you."
Zhao Chonglin looked at the person back and forth a few times, and made sure that she was not thin, but she did not grow much flesh, and she had to make up for it.Tang What Meng Jiaojiao didn't pay attention to at all, quickly dressed and pulled the man out of the ground.also muttered to him, "What are you waiting for me to do, and you still said that you won't let me wait for you." ”Of course, Zhao Chonglin has his reasoning, "I don't know when I can come back so I won't let you wait, if you don't wake up, I will definitely wake you up, can the nature be the same?"
”He also squeezed his little daughter-in-law's hand so that she could remember it clearly.Meng Jiaojiao's 'uh-huh' response, at this time she was thinking about her brother's letters, how could she have time to talk to him about these.Seeing that her attitude was obviously perfunctory, Zhao Chonglin laughed angrily, and pinched it again, "Uh-huh, speak." ”"Uh-huh."
Meng Jiaojiao nodded again and again."
Got it, remember it clearly, I won't wait for you if you don't come back."
In the past, Meng Jiaojiao felt that he talked a lot when he was eating, and she was quiet when she ate by herself.As a result, he was not at home for a month, but she was not used to it, and she couldn't get used to it for a whole month.Because she was worried about the letter, she didn't care what soup Mrs.
He gave her, and she felt that there was a smell of medicine when she was almost finished."
What kind of soup is this?
Why are you still putting medicine. ”He Pozi immediately explained, "It's a pigeon soup stewed with astragalus and angelica, and the lord said that Mrs. has been tired and sad recently and needs to make up for it." ”Meng Jiaojiao turned her head to look at the man, pursed her lips, swallowed the words to her lips, and then continued to drink the soup.She really should make up for it, otherwise she won't be able to hold it sooner or later if he continues to toss like this.The picture of yesterday in the study came to her mind, and she suddenly felt that the pigeon soup was so hot.Thanks to the basic skills that I have practiced with Qiu Niang for a while, otherwise my waist will definitely break.She admitted that she picked it up, but she also asked him to change so many postures, and in the future, she would have a shadow when she sat on the chair in the study and used the desk and bookshelf in the study.He also soiled the ledger, fortunately it was the family's private account, but she still had to copy it, and the soiled one could no longer be used.What was the little daughter-in-law thinking while drinking soup Zhao Chonglin didn't know, he used the study when his daughter-in-law was sleeping this afternoon, and picked up a broken pen under the desk.After eating, Meng Jiaojiao was anxious to read the letter, and it was the limit of her patience to wait until now.Zhao Chonglin took her to the study, "Go to the study, I just replied to him after reading it, and I will let people send it back tomorrow." ”Together?
Meng Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously, "Xianggong also wants to send a letter home?"
”"A word to Brother Liu, Lou Xiancheng, and Li Chao, who took over the dock."
After hearing Zhao Chonglin's words, Meng Jiaojiao suddenly thought that the business they did had to go from Yunyan County, so they had to deal with those people.This is also the reason why Cui Mingyao found them, and why she has the confidence to do it without Cui Mingyao.She smiled embarrassedly and went to pull the man's arm, "It's been a good job." ”The extremely perfunctory attitude gave Zhao Chonglin a cold eye, but for her extenuating sake, he didn't care about her.As soon as she arrived at the study, Zhao Chonglin gave her the letter, lest she couldn't put anything in her heart except this.The two of them sat behind the desk with a chair, and Zhao Chonglin was watching people on the ground, without looking at the letter.Watching her look go from anticipation to joy to shock and frown."
Meng Yunyun died, so suddenly!""
Who is Meng Yunyun?"
Zhao Chonglin went over and over again, but he didn't remember who this person was.Meng Jiaojiao explained, "It's the daughter of the second uncle's family, who got married a month later than us, and we still went to hang the ceremony." ”Zhao Chonglin remembered that there was such a person, who was not as good-looking as his daughter-in-law."
Oh, how did she die?""
She was beaten to death by her husband."
Meng Jiaojiao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, but she still felt stuffy in her chest.Although she and Meng Yunyun had a lot of friction and disagreement, she never thought of wanting Meng Yunyun to die, let alone die like this."
Xiao He wrote to her before, saying that she was four months pregnant and pregnant.said that she went back to her mother's house to live, and when she spoke, she showed that her husband's family was good to her and that she was enjoying happiness in the Liu family.It turned out that he died the day after he was taken back, and the children were all formed. ”That Liu Dalang is not a good person at first glance, let alone so old.Meng Jiaojiao suddenly came up with a terrible guess, how did the one in front of Liu Dalang die?"
What do you think?"
Zhao Chonglin saw that she was suddenly stunned and didn't speak, so he asked her, and reached out to take the letter to look at.I have probably seen it, except for Meng Yunyun's death, there is no major event, and the brother-in-law did not say that he wanted to take her home.Seeing that she didn't speak and her face was ugly, he asked her again, "You want to go back?"
”Meng Jiaojiao shook her head lightly and sighed silently, "Mother let us not go back, the body has been buried in the Liu family." ”Meng Chang's repeatedly proposed to let Meng Jiaojiao and them go back,Let Liang come to find them,Even if Meng Haojie persuaded him, Liang wrote a letter to ask Zhao Chonglin to send someone back to solve the Liu family,In the end, Meng Haojie said something serious, so she didn't force it again。
According to Meng Chang's original words, "My Meng family is a good person who married his Liu family and died less than a year ago, and the Liu family must give an explanation." ”As a result, they didn't even get into the gate when they went to Liu's house, and the Liu family didn't recognize the Meng family as their in-laws at all.bluntly said, "The Meng family bought it for twenty taels, even if it is a subordinate, it is not even a concubine." ”The Liu family also took out the deed, which was clearly written in black and white, Meng Xiaoquan sold his daughter Meng Yunyun to the Liu family for twenty taels of silver, and the death deed was determined by the main family.At the beginning, the Liu family and the matchmaker deceived Meng Xiaoquan for not being literate, and Meng Xiaoquan only had twenty taels of silver in his eyes, and eagerly signed the deed and sold his daughter, but now it is useless to sue the yamen.Meng Changshi took people to not only fail to ask for an explanation, but was also beaten by the Liu family.After coming back, Meng Changshi fell ill, and lay in bed all day long and scolded the Liu family, scolded the second son, scolded the Wang family and the Zhu family, and scolded Meng Jiaojiao.Zhu has not had a good life since he was sent back, the man surnamed Sun was convicted and imprisoned, and Zhu was taken home by Meng Xiaosheng.How much Meng Xiaosheng was infatuated with and doted on her in the past, and how much he hates her now.On the first night Meng Xiaosheng brought Zhu back, Zhu's screams lasted from dark to dawn, and then he was gagged so that he did not disturb the neighbors.Early in the morning of the second day, Meng Haojie followed his wife to Yue's house,Two days later, I went home and moved directly to his wife Bai's wedding house。
Meng Chang was relieved that his son stayed, and every night he could hear the screams of Zhu and Wang being tortured by their son.The mother and son took turns to fight day and night, torturing the Zhu family and the Wang family to no one or a ghost.Now that Meng Chang is sick in bed and has no strength to torture people, he finally let the two of them breathe a little easier.The work of cooking and decocting the medicine fell on Wang's head, and when there was no one else in the kitchen, she quickly and skillfully mixed the two packets of medicinal powder into Meng Chang's medicine and Meng Xiaosheng's tonic soup respectively.This scene was seen by Meng Haozhi, who came back from school hungry and went into the kitchen to find something to eat, "Mother, what are you doing?"
I'm so hungry. ”
