Chapter 61: Can’t Fight
Spend starting coins for Butterfly Pea
Nanny Lin didn't dare to tell Meng Yue these words directly, because Meng Yue completely regarded Mrs. Fu as her own mother and would tell her everything.
Nanny Lin could see that although Meng Cimo was naughty, she knew what she was doing and was a brat. She didn't know when she would be kicked out or killed. She wouldn't wait until the two siblings grew up.
One day, I had to tell little Meng Cimo, thinking about how much he could remember.
A year later, Granny Lin really left the house because her man was seriously ill.
Meng Cimo kept Nanny Lin's words in mind, and looked coldly at Mrs. Fu's attitude towards their siblings, and how she treated her biological children differently from her stepchildren.
It really made him see some tricks.
For example, in front of others, especially in front of his father Meng Daoming, Fu would tell Meng Cimo to study more and become a child with both civil and military skills. These words were the same as what his grandfather, grandmother, second uncle, and husband taught him. Father
I would also teach him this, but he simply ignored it.
The women and girls who served Meng Cimo talked about something else in private. First they played monkey plays, storytelling, and how fun it was to do tricks. After having a little boy, there were more naughty things. When he got older and went to the outer courtyard, he could also
When we went out to socialize, the young man would talk about opera, brothels, love between men and women, and so on.
His mother-in-law, maids, and servants were all sent to him by the Fu family, and what they said certainly represented the Fu family.
He secretly went to Meng Ciyu's house several times to listen to people talking. Not only did those people not say a single inappropriate word, they also said almost the same thing as what Fu taught him.
Xiao Meng Cimo believed in Nanny Lin's words and became wary of Fu Shi.
On several occasions, Xiao Meng Cimo also thoughtfully said a few words in front of his grandmother and second uncle that were taught by servants. Grandma and second uncle were not happy and scolded the servants for ruining their children. Mrs. Fu blamed herself very much.
, and quickly replaced someone. Some of them directly blamed him for being careless in making friends, and forbade him to associate with so-and-so and so-and-so.
Xiao Meng Cimo was very frustrated. These small fights did not hurt Fu at all, so he was wrong.
He was unwilling to give in, and quietly told his grandfather, who had come back rarely, what Nanny Lin said. But the old man said that if you listen to both, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. He will pay attention to the Fu family. He also told Meng Cimo not to listen to the words of his subordinates.
Watch more and listen more, don't think too much.
He also said that it is difficult to be a stepmother. It was not easy for Mrs. Fu to raise her stepson to be strong and strong, and to be both civil and martial arts, and to raise her stepdaughter to be gentle, virtuous, beautiful and honest...
He believed that his grandfather must have noticed and asked about it, but his grandfather had very little time at home and was mostly busy with court affairs, so even if he did ask about it, it would be superficial.
However, the old man still gave him a trustworthy servant, Meng Dongshan.
Meng Cimo knew that he could not compete with the Fu family because of his small size, so he restrained his thoughts. He kept a distance from the Fu family and did not follow what others taught him, but only followed what his grandfather, second uncle, and grandmother taught him.
Although he did it, he still left the impression on his elders that he was thoughtful, clever, and unfavorable to his stepmother who regarded him as his own. This also further highlighted Meng Ciyu's excellent character and academics, gentleness, studiousness, and humility.
.
Meng Yue has been raised in Fu's Dongkua Courtyard, and Fu's daughter Meng Hua has been raised in Xikua Courtyard. Meng Cimo wanted to see how Fu treated Meng Yue in private but could not find the chance.
He still quietly told Meng Yue that Mrs. Fu was the stepmother and asked her not to listen to Mrs. Fu in everything. The servants could not believe everything. Meng Yue was particularly unhappy at the time and said that Mrs. Fu was as good as her own mother. He said this
No, it will hurt my mother's heart.
This word still reached Fu's ears. In the end, his grandmother, father, second uncle, second aunt, and his grandfather who came back later all knew about it and gave him another lesson. Especially his father, he was beaten for it.
he.
Meng Cimo was very angry with his sister, and there was a rift in the relationship between the siblings. It was only after he came back from the war that he saw how pitifully his sister was being treated by her husband's family, so he couldn't bear to blame her anymore. Meng Yue had been married to Fu since she was three years old.
Teaching, it is not easy without being completely crooked.
Because the old Duke of Meng did not allow his descendants to stand in line, he also eliminated the opportunity for them to serve as companions to the prince. The descendants of the Meng family all went to the Imperial Academy.
After going to the Imperial Academy, Meng Cimo bought his own servant Meng Lianshan, plus Meng Dongshan given by his grandfather, and no other servants needed it. He was finally like a bird escaping from the cage, free to do what he wanted.
thing.
He quietly looked for Nanny Lin, but found nothing. He thought that when he was able to do so in the future, he would continue to search and ask some questions clearly.
When he was fifteen years old, there happened to be a war in the west, and his elderly grandfather was entrusted with an important task and led the expedition.
He felt that when he was a child, he made too many small moves and thought too much, which delayed his studies. The road to the imperial examination would not be smooth, and he would not be able to compare with Meng Ciyu who was academically diligent. Then, he could only join the martial arts. And he did not want to be like his father,
Enjoy the remnants of your father's kindness as an official.
If he wants to have great potential, he must go to the battlefield with his grandfather to practice and be taught by his grandfather all the time. More importantly, he must gain his grandfather's complete trust and appreciation. Otherwise, he will not be successful in literature or military, and he will often disobey his elders.
There is definitely no hope of becoming the crown prince.
He proposed to go to the front line with his grandfather.
The old man was very satisfied with his performance. But the old lady, Meng Daoming and Fu were not willing, especially the old lady, who cried.
Her third son died on the battlefield, less than twenty years old when he died, and she did not want her eldest grandson, who had just turned fifteen, to die again.
The next day, the old lady and Mr. Fu were still unwilling, but Meng Daoming changed his attitude and said that Meng Cimo was ideal and ambitious, which was good.
The old lady and Mr. Fu couldn't deal with so many men, so they let Meng Cimo go.
Meng Cimo originally wanted to make a difference on the battlefield, to fight for his mother, sister, and himself. But things went against his wishes. When he came back, his eyes were injured and he was about to become blind...
Meng Cimo seemed to be talking about someone else's affairs, and his tone was calm and indifferent. Only when he said "I am about to become blind and will not be able to fulfill the vows I made", his voice was choked up and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
Jiang Yixi cried when she heard this. She always felt that she and her brother were orphans and had a hard time living. But compared with Meng Cimo, they were much better off.
Comparing Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Meng, they are not on the same level. One is taking every step step by step, acting all the time, and even regards acting as her life. The other is good at calculations, and even a small profit can blind her eyes.
Their behavior is too different.
Thinking of little Meng Cimo who had so many blood relatives but was helpless, and then thinking of Meng Cimo being forced to kill Fu in his previous life and then commit suicide... He must have been so desperate and helpless at that time to do that.
Jiang Yixi looked at Meng Cimo, feeling so distressed that her heart was trembling.
