The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2214

[Chapter 2214 Tie Kui Fanwai (138)]

As soon as winter entered, Mrs. Xiao accompanied Tie Kui to the Hot Spring Zhuangzi. Take a medicinal bath every three days, and take a hot spring the other time. Combined with the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Bai, the relapse of the old disease is not only not as painful as it used to be, but it also doesn’t last as long as before.

Ning Hai was very happy and said to Mrs. Xiao, “Tianyi Bai’s temperament is a little weird, but his medical skills are not.” In the past, the pain made him want to die every time, but now it is within the range of tolerance.

Xiao Shi said angrily, “If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much.”

Ning Hai smiled.

The husband and wife were talking when they heard the maid say that the eldest young master and the second young master are here.

The cook of the Marquis of Anyang, the cooking skills are beyond words. Brother Zhuang ate well, and practiced martial arts every day, but in half a year, he had a head start, leaving Brother Hang far behind. In this regard, Brother Hang is very resentful.

As soon as he entered the room, Brother Hang said, “Grandfather, today Mr. praised me and my eldest brother.”

Ning Hai smiled and said, “If you can work as hard as your eldest brother, I promise that Mr. will praise you every day instead of hitting you all the time.” Brother Hang is very smart, but he is too playful. For this, Ning Hai didn’t blame too much. It’s normal for a child to be playful. On the other hand, Brother Zhuang’s aptitude is average, but he is very hardworking whether he is studying or practicing martial arts.

“Grandfather, I will work hard in the future.” After studying martial arts with Brother Zhuang, Brother Hang has worked harder than before. For this phenomenon, Ning Hai is happy to see it happen.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, Brother Zhuang asked, “Grandfather, grandmother, will father bring mother and eldest sister to Beijing for Chinese New Year?”

Xiao Shi heard the words and said, “Your mother is not very fit and should not travel long distances. So this year, she will not be able to visit you in the capital.”

Brother Zhuang is disappointed.

Brother Hang couldn’t see him like this, so he took his hand and said, “Brother, let’s go to the kitchen to see what the aunt has cooked? Can you make the shrimp balls we like to eat?”

“Okay.” After that, the two children held hands and walked out happily.

Ning Hai turned his head and asked Xiao Shi: “Ma Shi is not healthy? What’s wrong?”

Xiao Shi said: “I fell ill a while ago, and it is estimated that I was stimulated by Tang Shi’s affairs. But it will be fine after a while. But she is in good health and is not suitable for long-distance running.” Shi, every time she sees Ma Shi, she is in a bad mood.

Not only Mrs. Xiao, but also Ning Hai didn’t want to see Mrs. Ma, so he thought about it and said, “After two years, I will send someone to send Brother Zhuang back to visit her and Niuniu!”

Mrs. Xiao said: “You left Brother Zhuang in the capital. Mrs. Ma first suspected that Fu’er and I would kill him and take up the family property. Later, when they found out that the family was separated, they were also afraid that I would alienate their mother and son. I was afraid that Brother Zhuang would go. In Tongcheng, Ma won’t let her back.”

Ning Hai’s good mood disappeared instantly: “Then let Brother Zhuang go to Tongcheng after a few years!” This woman really didn’t know what to say.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

After more than two years of conditioning, Ning Hai’s body is much better than before. The frequency of recurrence of old injuries is less than before.

Xiao’s and Ning Zhan’s siblings were very happy with this result.

Since Ning Hai and Xiao’s return, Ruhui will go back to her parents’ house every few days to visit them. She also has no in-laws, so Ruhui moves more freely.

On this day, she took Sister Yuan back to her parents’ house, and when she heard Ning Hai take Brother Zhuang and the three of them to go shopping, she smiled and said to Zeng Chenfu: “Dad is like this now, it’s good. I remember when I was young, Dad. I’ve been so busy all day that I can’t see anyone. For a while, I even blurred his appearance.”

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile, “Brother Hang and Brother Yi, now like father-in-law the most. My husband and I have to stay behind!” All Ning Hai’s thoughts were spent on the three children.

He is not as old-fashioned as the big parents of other families, and he is very strict with several children on weekdays. But when they are on vacation, they will take them to fly kites, go shopping, and go horseback riding in the pasture.

Ruhui said with a smile, “You don’t have to be so tired if your father is in charge of Brother Hang and the others. Cough, you don’t know, I want my father to also take care of Brother Tuan for me.”

She didn’t just think about it, she also told Ning Hai. Unfortunately, Ning Hai refused.

Brother Tuan is a child of the Meng family, and in all likelihood, he will have to take the imperial examination in the future. The Marquis of Anyang was the home of military generals, and he didn’t want to delay his children’s future.

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile, “I heard Xianggong say that Meng Shangshu has a book about becoming an official. After Meng Shangshu retires, he may teach the regiment brother himself.”

Ruhui was a little surprised: “My old grandfather got an official account? When did it happen?” Her husband didn’t mention it to him.

Hearing that it was yesterday, Ru Hui said: “The old man is getting older and his health is getting worse and worse. It’s better to retire.”

Ruhui felt good, but others felt bad. When Mrs. Meng heard the news, she was so nervous that she asked her husband, Mr. Meng, “Master, why did he retire after doing a good job?”

Master Meng was transferred back to the capital at the beginning of last year, and now he is the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.

Hearing this, Mr. Meng said: “The emperor wants to reuse King You, and Dad naturally wants to make way for King You.”

Mrs. Meng couldn’t help but say, “If the emperor did this, wouldn’t he be afraid of the cold in the hearts of the old ministers?” In general, those important officials in the official circles will retire only after they can’t do anything. With Meng Shangshu’s current physical condition, he can still work for a few more years.

Grandpa Meng glanced at her and said lightly, “Speak with a little brains. It was my father who made his career, and it was not the emperor who forced him to retire.”

As a courtier, the most important thing is to wink. Since the emperor doesn’t want to use you, he should retire obediently. In this way, it can still maintain a bit of decency. Going against the emperor will not end well.

Meng Shangshu stepped back, he knew that he couldn’t help himself. But Meng Shangshu forced him to return to Beijing, and Master Meng felt a little resentful. Being a prefect in the local area, that is one of the parents’ officials, it is much more comfortable than returning to Beijing to be a young minister of Taipu Temple.

This time, Meng Shang’s book published the book, and the emperor readily approved the book. Then, King You was appointed Minister of Punishment.

As soon as Meng Xuemin retired, the invitation posts received by the Meng House began to decrease.

Not long after, the seventh master of the Meng family was provoked and clashed with others in the yamen, and almost got into a fight. Afterwards, the Meng family also prepared a generous gift to apologize to the other party.

Although this is not a big deal, it makes Chen shi worried: “Sister-in-law three, grandfather retires, do you think my shop will also be affected?”

Ruhui smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it won’t be affected.” The customers of Chen’s dried fruit shop are ordinary people, and they earn more than 1,000 taels a year. This is a big sum for Chen’s family, but it may only be half a month’s expenses for those high-profile families. So, they won’t have time to play her shop ideas. As for those with low portals, they would not provoke the Meng family so contemptuously. Although Meng Shangshu has retired, there are many Meng family members. Although not a high-ranking official, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

With these words, Chen shi felt a lot more at ease.

Just as Ruhui said, Chen’s two dried fruit shops were not affected. On the other hand, the Meng family’s two shops still had some surplus. But as soon as Meng Shangshu retired, the business became worse and worse, and finally lost money. Mrs. Meng closed the two shops and then sublet them out.

After Meng Shangshu retired, the previous benefits were gone. Money at home is getting tighter and tighter.

Mrs. Meng also couldn’t make money, so she could only cut down her expenses. As a result, the Meng family members complained.

Within a few days, Mrs. Meng fell ill. The housekeeper of the fourth grandmother Meng, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. As a result, winter clothes and monthly bills were not distributed on time.

Because of this, Grandma Meng Wu and Grandma Meng Qi started a fight. In a fit of anger, Grandma Meng Si gave up her job.

Chen Shi said to Ruhui very worriedly: “Sister-in-law three, grandma-four is clamoring to split up the family this time? Do you think that’s what the aunt means?”

Ruhui didn’t answer this, but said, “Big brother and the others have been in office for so many years, and every year they send some souvenirs back, and they haven’t seen a cent of their money. But they all come from the public.”

Chen sighed and said, “Yeah! I used to think that my elder brother and elder sister-in-law are not people who love money, but I didn’t expect that people would change within a few years of going out.” In my memory, Meng Guangpeng and his wife are both generous in terms of money. !

Ruhui chuckled lightly: “My sister-in-law told me in the letter that my eldest brother sends money back every year. At first, it was one or two hundred taels. Three years ago, they sent back two thousand taels of silver every year.”

Meng Guangpeng first served as a county magistrate in Hunan, and was later transferred to Jiangning. The south of the Yangtze River is a prosperous land with plenty of oil and water. So, there are more credits.

Chen’s eyes widened: “After so many years, Auntie is really nervous.”

After finishing speaking, Chen shi said bitterly, “She did such a thing, but she’s embarrassed to always say that you are hiding things?” Meng Ranxi’s salary was handed over to the public school, and he took all the benefits and benefits himself. After Mrs. Meng found out, she secretly muttered how many times.

Ruhui smiled and said: “The second and third rooms have more and more people, but the money has not been handed in. The aunt has long wanted to split up the family. She was pressured by the old man before, and she dared not mention it. Now the old man has retired. , she has no scruples.” Meng Ranxi’s monthly salary was actually not much. Various miscellaneous benefits are much higher than salary. Because of this, Mrs. Meng felt very unbalanced.

The two bedrooms and three bedrooms add up to more than 30 people. The cost of food and clothing is the beginning of a lot of money, plus the expenses for children’s schooling. But in these two rooms, except Meng Ranxi, no one else had handed in a penny.

Although Ruhui didn’t like Mrs. Meng, it was understandable in this matter. Because it was her, she also wanted to split up.

Chen Shi also knew this principle, but she still hoped that the sooner the separation, the better. After the separation, not only will the expenses be large, but it is very likely that you will have to move out. Meng Guangwu is not in the capital, and it is not safe for their mothers to move out.

Knowing what Chen shi was worried about, Ruhui smiled and said: “You don’t have to worry, even if the family is separated, the old man and the old lady will not let your mother and son move away.”

Just as he was talking, he heard the maid say that the old man asked Ruhui to go to the main room.

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen lowered her voice and said, “If the old man asks you to be the housekeeper, don’t agree!” Now the housekeeper right is a hot potato. Whoever picks up will get their hands scalded.

Ruhui smiled and said, “Don’t worry, no matter what, it will never be my turn to be the housekeeper.” Having said that, it was Mrs. Meng who asked her to go there, and Ruhui had no idea.
