"Don't panic, big guy, it's raised by the second daughter-in-law, don't mess with it, it won't bite."
Zhao Chongxiang saw Mimi, so he hurriedly pulled the panicked clansmen around him and shouted, for fear that they would be so flustered and make Mimi frightened and crazy.After being reminded by Zhao Chongxiang, some people remembered what Chen had said before, "Yes, yes, this is raised by Chonglin's daughter-in-law, and it is as docile as a poultry, and it won't bite if you don't mess with it." ”He couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he said the word bite, he was actually more afraid of Mimi eating people.A beast is a beast, not to mention this beast, even if the domestic dog still bites.He forced himself to calm down so that he should not be afraid, Meng dared to raise it, and the people around her were living well, so this beast should not eat people.Most people think the same way as him, and some daring children even tried to reach out to touch Mimi, but Mimi was so frightened by a look that they quickly withdrew their hands and didn't dare to move again.In this case, Meng Jiaojiao could not continue to stay in the carriage, and was supported by Kong and Chun Tao to get out of the carriage carefully."
Knowing that you are home today, we have prepared a meal and are waiting for you to start the table as soon as you arrive, and you arrived just right at the time of the meal."
After some greetings, the patriarch said that he would invite Meng Jiaojiao to the table, and several aunts in the clan surrounded Meng Jiaojiao in it, talking about eating and saying congratulations, and Meng Jiaojiao couldn't say anything to refuse in front of everyone's expectant eyes.It's just that she didn't expect it to be a banquet of thirty or forty tables, and even the clansmen who came out of the five suits came, and many of them she hadn't even seen.After she repeatedly humbled with the patriarch and the clan elders, at her insistence, the patriarch sat on the upper seat, and she sat down with the clan elders.Meng Jiaojiao thought that they would mention the matter of the ancestral grave again, but she didn't think that from beginning to end, she only said that Zhao Chonglin's immortality was a good omen, and said that there were two talents in the last year, and three more children passed the children's examination this spring.The two Xiucai and the three children came to toast Meng Jiaojiao's wine, Meng Jiaojiao saw that one of the young men was dressed plainly, and when she heard him say thank you, she knew that the expenses for his study and scientific examination were all paid from the clan public account.His family had already produced five suits in his father's generation, and if the patriarch hadn't found his family two years ago and said that the clan could provide him with a place to continue studying, he would not be where he is today.It was also at this moment that Meng Jiaojiao understood what the patriarch was doing today, he didn't say a word, just a few people stood in front of her, and he expected that he would agree.This feeling of being led by the nose is really uncomfortable.The patriarch took good care of Meng Jiaojiao very much, and when he saw that she had almost eaten, he said that he would let her go back to rest and leave them alone.Meng Jiaojiao was not polite to him, and went back immediately.Meng Jiaojiao, the old house in the village, has never been accustomed to living here, and she has never regarded this place as her home, and she can't sleep well when she has something in her heart.On the second day, Meng Jiaojiao went back to Hetang Village to go to the grave of her parents, and when she went out, the patriarch's wife and several aunts came over."
We also said that we came to cheer with you, are you going to see your father?"
One of the aunts persuaded her with some embarrassment, "Don't blame the aunt for talking more, you are not going to the grave now with a bad body, for fear of being entangled in unclean things."
I'm not talking about your father, it's that there are a lot of such things on the mountain, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. ”In fact, they came here so early to tell Meng Jiaojiao about this, definitely for her good."
Otherwise, if you go up the mountain, you will burn at the entrance of the village, and shout at them while burning.Burn some paper money for the others, and so on. ”Seeing that Meng Jiaojiao didn't speak, the patriarch's wife stepped forward and took her hand and patted her gently, "Auntie knows that you want to go to your father's grave to talk to them in person, and you also want to go and see it in person."
But isn't it inconvenient for you, your father and mother will definitely not let you go if you have a spirit in the sky, poor genius parents, how can they watch you go into danger?
Even if it's just a possibility, they won't agree. ”Another person advised, "If you really don't feel at ease, you can arrange for someone to go up and help you take a look and burn some paper."
Let your eldest brother go on your behalf, it's all a family, can your father and mother still not recognize their relatives?
”Zhao Chongxiang naturally agreed, "What several aunts said is that there is such a statement.You are burning at the bottom of the mountain, I went over and called Meng Changping to go with me. ”In the past few years, Zhao Chongxiang has become familiar with the people on Meng's side, especially when there is anything that Meng Changping and his brothers are more familiar with."
Then I'll listen to my aunts, I'm going to trouble Big Brother and Big Brother Changping."
There were some things she didn't dare to bet on, but if it was just herself, she wouldn't be afraid of them.On the way, Meng Jiaojiao lifted the curtain to look at the fields on the side of the road, "Big brother, I'll go back to the county seat early tomorrow morning." ”"You're busy, I'm at home."
Zhao Chongxiang and Wang Quanxi sat on the frame."
The patriarch must not agree to mention the matter of the ancestral tomb again, what is the other people in the clan, what is our family.""
I know, just do what I said that day, our family is not special."
Later, Zhao Chongxiang slowly pondered and pondered the taste, the more times like this, the more their family could not be high-profile, and they could not let people hold the handle.However, he felt that the patriarch was really thinking about the clansmen, but the second family had already given enough."
The patriarch has already said that we will invite people to build roads and fruit forests ourselves, so don't worry about it."
Meng Jiaojiao really won't interfere with the two things that the eldest brother said, "After I go back, I will write a letter of recommendation to the patriarch, he can take the letter of recommendation to Fucheng to find Lord Nian, whether Lord Nian can write a letter of recommendation for the two Xiucai Zhengde Academy, it can only depend on their own ability." ”Meng Jiaojiao continued: "The eldest brother can propose to the patriarch that if there is surplus money in the clan, it can be used to purchase sacrificial fields, which can be used by the descendants of the clan for generations. ”The same thing was said by Meng Jiaojiao on the side of the Meng clan.Since she came back, it was naturally impossible for her to just burn the paper and leave, and she was invited to the patriarch's house for dinner at noon."
If we don't help each other, what kind of family prosperity can we talk about."
On the second day, the patriarch learned that Meng Jiaojiao was leaving, so he came to Zhao's house early.Meng Jiaojiao gave him a letter of recommendation, "We are of the same clan and the same clan, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and the younger generations are the hope of our whole clan." ”The patriarch took the letter of recommendation and didn't mention anything else, what he wanted was the attitude of Zhao Chonglin and his wife, not just how many immediate benefits they gave to the clan."
It's not easy for you and Chonglin to work hard outside, just let it go, everything at home has us.Your mother also has so many people in your tribe to take care of her, so be of good cheer. ”Before, it was they who were confused and did not make the right choice in time, and it was enough to make a mistake once.In the house in the county seat, the Lingxiao flowers are still in full bloom at this time, and the rattan chairs under the flower trellis have been replaced with two new ones.The original rattan chair could not sit for a long time, and there were several families in the county that had to be visited, so Meng Jiaojiao sat under the flower stand with Kong to sort out the gifts to be brought to the door.Someone knocked on the door, Wang Quanxi glanced at it and couldn't help but be surprised, "It's Meng Haoxin." ”"The little one looked like he was wearing a long shirt and carrying things."
Meng Jiaojiao put down her things and walked to the second door, and instructed Kong Shi, "I'll go in and avoid it, you see him." ”No matter what he came to do, Meng Jiaojiao didn't want to see him.Meng Haoxin is now working in a cloth village as a bookkeeper, and he only learned about Meng Jiaojiao's return after listening to the guests who entered the store.Yesterday, he asked someone to go back to the village to inquire, and only then did he know that she would be in the county seat today.He went to the original third uncle's house first, but the door was locked and the general guarded the door, so he came here again.Kong Shi opened the door and asked, "I don't know why Gongzi Meng came?"
”Meng Haoxin is now twenty years old, and he has already shed his youth in the early years."
I heard that Jiaojiao is back, I came to see her."
Kong Shi smiled: "Madame is taking a nap, I want to wait for Young Master Meng." ”Kong Shi said this first, and then turned sideways to get out of the way and asked Meng Haoxin to enter the door.Meng Haoxin stood still, "Then I won't bother Jiaojiao, in fact, I also came out this time when I was free, and I can't delay too long to work for people."
Please help me hand this over to Jiaojiao, and I'll go back to work. ”Meng Haoxin stuffed things into Kong's hands and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Kong's would chase him.Kong Shi turned around and saw Meng Jiaojiao coming out of the second door, "Madam, he gave this to you." ”When I opened the box, there was a silver collar, which looked like a child wearing."
Take it."
Meng Jiaojiao thought about it and arranged an errand for Wang Quanxi, "You go check on his current situation." ”As soon as Wang Quanxi went out, he saw a carriage stop at the door, and a woman came down first, and then an old woman came out.The old woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it."
Little brother, my old lady came to visit your wife, and asked my little brother to help inform me.My lord's surname is Wu, and we are old acquaintances with your lady in our house. ”After the woman reported herself to the door of the house, Wang Quanxi suddenly remembered who this old woman was, except for the Wu family, who was disgusted once, there was no one else."
Our lady is not a guest today, please come back."
There is no need to inform Wang Quanxi to know that Madame will definitely not want to see anyone in the Wu family.The woman came forward to stuff Wang Quanxi with silver, "Just trouble the little brother to make a hard trip, if your lady really can't say no, we will leave immediately." ”
