Tie Kui Extra Story (65)
Meng Ranxi was originally worried that Ning Zhan was the son of a general, and the two would not be able to talk. In the end, it turned out that Ning Zhan was also very knowledgeable, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became. This chat lasted for more than an hour.
Xiao Shi went home after having dinner with Ruhui. The two waited for news at home, but Ning Zhan didn't come back until dark.
"How did it get so late?"
Ning Zhan smiled and said, "Meng Ranxi was drunk, so I sent him home."
Xiao felt that Ning Zhan was too careless, how could he get him drunk the first time they met.
Playing chess and drinking to judge a person's character, that's why Ning Zhan wanted to get Meng Ranxi drunk. Meng Ranxi tasted good wine, not only didn't drink like crazy, she didn't even talk nonsense, she fell asleep on the table when she was drunk.
Ruhui suddenly asked: "Then he snores?"
Ning Zhan smiled: "No." In fact, Meng Ranxi didn't drink alcohol before, but this time she had to drink in front of Ning Zhan. Even if he took two sips each time, he couldn't stand it too many times.
Xiao asked, "You really think so highly of this Meng Ranxi?" In terms of personal conditions, there is really nothing to be picky about this Meng Ranxi. But as long as he thinks of his father, Xiao Shi feels very bad.
"I think he's pretty good. But this matter mainly depends on what the second sister wants." Ruhui is the one who wants to marry, and her opinion is the most important.
Ruhui said: "I also think he is good, at least he is much better than Gu Pengyu and Chen Zichen." Gu Pengyu is very proud, and young talents can understand it. But Meng Ranxi's conditions were not as bad as his, she didn't have the slightest arrogance, and she had a calmness that her peers didn't have. This is the gap.
Shaw was hit violently.
Mrs. Meng knew about this, and asked Meng Shilang: "It's fine for Uncle Anyang to invite Ran Xi to dinner, why did he get him drunk?"
Meng Shilang said with a smile: "Ran Xi is getting old, and it's time to learn how to drink. Otherwise, he will get drunk as soon as he gets drunk, and he will go out to socialize like this in the future."
Mrs. Meng scolded with a smile: "You're still slapping me in the face! Tell me, what's going on?"
Meng Xuemin didn't hold back any more this time, and said, "Please ask someone reliable to give the Ning family a message."
Yesterday when Meng Xuemin asked, although Mrs. Meng told about Ruhui's situation, she didn't think much about it. It's really that Ruhui's conditions are so good. Although Meng Ranxi's personal conditions are excellent, but her parents are holding her back, the Ning family can't appreciate it.
hear this,
Mrs. Meng froze for a moment and said, "Did you make a mistake? Mrs. Anyang showed the second young lady young talents with both parents and a harmonious family."
"The one who fell in love with Ranxi was not Mrs. Anyang Bo, but Anyang Bo's son." Men's views are different from women's. Men pay more attention to character and ability, as well as a sense of responsibility.
Mrs. Meng hesitated: "Then Mrs. Anyang will agree?"
Meng Xuemin smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, the son of Uncle Anyang can make the decision about the Uncle Anyang's residence. After passing his test, the marriage is likely to be settled."
Mrs. Meng said: "That's fine, I will ask someone to find out Mrs. Ning's attitude tomorrow." If the Ning family really agrees to this marriage, they will invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. If you don't agree, just ignore it!
The middleman quickly called Mrs. Meng back, saying that the Ning family agreed.
Mrs. Meng was overjoyed, and immediately invited the official media to the Ning family to propose marriage. Xiao Shi didn't hold back at this moment, so he readily agreed. The matchmaker should not take this gift of thanking the matchmaker too easily.
The two families exchanged geng posts, and Meng Ranxi told Lan's about his engagement.
Lan grabbed Meng Ranxi's hand and asked, "Whose girl is it?" Although she trusted her in-laws, she still felt uneasy because she had never met her.
Meng Ranxi smiled and said, "It's the second girl from Uncle Anyang's Mansion. Grandma told me that these two girls are smart and capable, and they managed Uncle Anyang's Mansion in order at a young age."
Marry a woman from a high family, marry a woman from a low family. Lan's heart hopes that Meng Ranxi will marry a noble girl, but now she is worried that the daughter-in-law she married is too good-natured and too capable for her son to control: "Xi'er, have you met the second girl of the Ning family?"
"No. However, Uncle Anyang has met him before, and he is a gentleman. Mother, you don't have to worry. Grandma said that the second girl of the Ning family is a sensible and generous person." He added the generosity himself.
In fact, Ruhui is very tough, he is not worried about this. Only useless men are afraid that their daughter-in-law is too powerful. Let's just say that the queen is fine, there is no more sturdy woman in this world than the queen. But the emperor doesn't care, because he is also very powerful, so he can be as affectionate as the queen.
Lan Shi was relieved after hearing this.
Both families were interested, and the marriage was quickly settled. What Meng Ranxi didn't expect was that Lan's condition would get worse after his marriage was confirmed.
Seeing Lan Shi in a coma, Meng Ranxi felt very sad. It's just that he is not a doctor, and he can't do anything except stay by the bed every day.
Lan Shi woke up in the middle of the night. He took Meng Ranxi's hand and said, "Xi'er, don't worry, mother won't leave so quickly. Mother hasn't seen you marrying a wife and having children yet!"
Not to mention Ruhui and Ji next year, even Ruyi's marriage is scheduled for next year. However, there are rules in the capital that two women cannot be married at the same time within a year. Therefore, if you want to marry Ruhui in advance, don't even think about it.
Meng Ranxi said with red eyes, "Mom, you will get better soon." Even though Lan Shi has been sick and unable to take medicine all day long, he is still a child whose mother loves him.
When Mrs. Xiao heard that Mrs. Ning's condition had worsened, she said to Ning Zhan with some concern, "Ah Zhan, will the Meng family blame your second sister for the worsening of Mrs. Meng's condition?" name, what should I do.
"Mother, you are worrying too much. The second lady of the Meng family was originally a weakling, so why should she have anything to do with the second sister?" This matter can only be called a coincidence.
Fortunately, within two days, they heard that Lan's condition had improved. After Xiao knew about it, he brought medicinal materials to visit him.
After returning, Xiao's face was full of sighs: "Ruhui, I'm afraid your mother-in-law won't last long."
"Mom, why do you say that?"
Xiao said: "She is coughing up blood, and I heard that she has been coughing up for several months." Once he coughs up blood, it proves that the person's life is not long. Lan's ability to live up to now is all because of using ginseng to hang his life.
After more than a month, the Meng family sent an obituary.
Mrs. Xiao was extremely astonished when she heard the manager's words: "The second master of the Meng family is gone? Did you make a mistake?" The last time I saw Mrs. Lan, I knew that I wouldn't live long after seeing him like that. So when she heard that someone in the Meng family was gone, she thought it was Lan who died of illness.
The steward said respectfully: "Ma'am, there is no mistake. The obituary clearly states that the second master of the Meng family is gone." No matter how silly it is, this obituary cannot be wrongly written.
Xiao hurriedly called Ruhui over and told her about the incident. Master Meng Er is Ruhui's future father-in-law, and now she can't wear red and green within three months of her death.
After Ru Hui knew about this, she called Zhong Shantong: "Uncle Zhong, send someone to investigate and find out why this second master Meng is gone." I felt that the death of this second master Meng came very strangely.
Zhong Shantong was still very efficient in handling affairs, so he replied to Ruhui that night.
Master Meng Er is in good health and can eat two bowls of rice and one bowl of wine every day. But a few days ago, when he went to collect the rent, the horse went crazy and threw him off the horse. When I got home, I was out of breath.
Xiao said worriedly: "Ruhui, just after you got married to Ran Xi, the second master of the Meng family had an accident. Do you think someone will say that you are the one who restrained the marriage?"
Ruhui laughed and said: "I only heard about Kefu's, but I haven't heard of Ke's in-laws. Besides, I haven't been married yet! What do they have to do with me? If the Meng family is so unreasonable, this marriage should be withdrawn sooner." better."
Xiao was so angry: "Can you just talk about retiring? In your heart, marriage is a child's play?"
Ruhui felt that she was in the wrong, so she didn't dare to say anything.
The second master Meng passed away, and Mrs. Meng was heartbroken. Even if this son doesn't live up to expectations, he crawled out of her stomach. Now that a white-haired person is going to send a black-haired person, Mrs. Meng has been crying too much for the past two days.
Seeing him like this, Meng Shilang sighed and said, "I'm already gone, it's useless for you to be sad, think about it!" This son is here to collect debts. Because of this evil, the Meng family has been criticized by many people behind their backs these years. Every time he mentions this evil, Meng Shilang feels very bad.
Mrs. Meng asked: "Grandpa, aren't you going to send your son off for the last time?"
Meng Shilang didn't want to go back: "Just go." What is he going to do? It just adds to the sadness.
Mrs. Meng said: "Mr. Lan is like this, and Ran Xi is not at ease when she goes back to attend the funeral. Master, what do you think about this matter?" The doctor said that Mrs. Lan will not survive for a few days, and it will take a month to go back to attend the funeral this time. If the Lan family is gone during this time, Meng Ranxi will definitely feel very uncomfortable if she can't stay by her side.
"There's nothing I can do about it." If Mrs. Lan passed away during this period, it would be her fate not to let her grandson see her off for the last time.
What Mrs. Meng meant was to ask Ruhui to come over and take care of Lan's illness. Although she didn't go through the door, but because she was already engaged, Ran Xi didn't have to worry about letting her stay with Lan Shi.
Meng Shilang said with a dark face: "Are you confused? What would the Ning family think if they asked her to wait on the sickness before she even passed the door?"
Mrs. Meng said embarrassingly, "I feel sorry for Meng Ranxi!"
Meng Shilang was so angry that he said, "Do you feel sorry for Ran Xi? If you do this, you will harm Ran Xi. Meng Ranxi was the one who made this marriage, but now that the second child has passed away, the second daughter-in-law doesn't seem to have many days left. Ran Xi has to observe filial piety for six years. If you make such an unreasonable request, the Ning family can take the opportunity to withdraw the marriage."
Mrs. Meng's attention quickly shifted: "What did you say? Ran Xi wants to keep her filial piety for six years?"
"Ran Xi wants to take an official career in the future, so she can't be ignored. The six years of filial piety must be fulfilled." Fortunately, she is engaged, otherwise her grandson will be twenty-three after filial piety. At such an old age, it is difficult to talk about a satisfactory marriage.
Mrs. Meng was really worried now: "Is the second girl of the Ning family willing to wait?" Six years! Six years later, the second daughter of the Ning family will be an old lady.
Meng Shilang said: "I should wait. The second daughter of the Ning family is not very old now. When Ran Xi finishes her filial piety, she will be married."
After hearing this, Mrs. Meng felt a little relieved.
