Meng Yamei felt very wronged.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, she was dressed beautifully. She followed her mother back to her grandmother's house for a walk, and then went home to wait for her aunt to come back to pay the New Year's money. Unexpectedly, the aunt gave her not only less New Year's money than her sisters, but also looked at her with a black face.

Meng Yamei pouted her mouth and went to complain to her mother, but her mother actually slapped her in front of her grandmother, "What are you talking nonsense outside!"

Meng Yamei cried, "Mom wronged her daughter. Her daughter hasn't been out for several days, and her daughter hasn't said anything nonsense."

Cui wanted to beat her to death, "Did you tell Jiang Liuer that your aunt liked Jiang Er crazy when she was not married?"

Meng Yamei widened her eyes, "My daughter has never told her!"

That's Jiang Liu's nonsense! Cui turned his head and was about to explain to his mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law asked, "You haven't told Jiang Liuer, have you told anyone?"

Meng Yamei stopped talking.

"Say!" Mrs. Meng and Cui shouted in unison.

Meng Yamei whispered, "Meier and... Yunxiang cousin, Guo Wan said. But Meier told them not to tell others..."

If you say you don't let them tell, they won't tell them? Cui whispered, "Maybe it was told by the Guo daughter to Jiang Liuer."

The Guo family also lives in Shifeng Lane. There are several girls in the family who are similar to Meng Yamei. Guo Yuqing and Jiang Liu are very good at playing with each other.

Mrs. Meng continued to ask with a gloomy face, "Where did you hear about this?"

Skip! Cui's heart shrank in fear and gave his daughter a wink. Unexpectedly, Meng Yamei still said stupidly, "Mei'er heard what my second aunt told my mother."

Kawa! The string in Cui's head was broken, and he knew that he was going to be scolded too.

Mrs. Meng looked at the mother and daughter in a gloomy mood, and after a while, she said, "I won't scold you before the first month of the year."

Cui and Meng Yamei were just overjoyed, but they heard the old lady say again, "From now on, you go back to your room and take it with you. You are not allowed to go out before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Grandma, I don't want it!" Meng Yamei was anxious. The New Year was just a fun time, so she didn't want to be locked in the house.

"Say one more thing, and you'll be locked until February 2nd!" Old Mrs. Meng's eyes were full of anger, "Go out!"

"Don't calm down, my daughter-in-law is not good at teaching her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law will teach her well." Cui quickly pulled her daughter out and hurriedly walked out.

Mrs. Meng raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. The master was right. She should send the third family out of the capital and let them stay in the capital. Sooner or later, something big will happen.

At this time, the carriage of Jiang Liu and his sister rushed back to Shifeng Lane. When they returned to the north courtyard, they only saw Jiang Pinglan and two children, but they did not see their uncle Liao Qingmo. After the uncle had a meal, he rushed back early when he was busy with the affairs of the county government office.

Mr. Jiang sneered at this, "Long live to govern the world, and there is still time to rest. He is a small county magistrate, but he can't live without the yamen for one day!"

Jiang Song explained to his brother-in-law, "The magistrate is in charge of civil taxes and service in a county. When people have any trouble, they will go to the county government office. The yamen affairs are busy and trivial."

Mr. Jiang snorted, "The county government is not only one magistrate, there are dozens or hundreds of people, who can't hold on for a day?"

Jiang Song glared, "I have been a magistrate for many years, but you don't understand yet!"

"It's because he didn't understand that he always became a magistrate." Mr. Jiang was afraid of being scolded, so he jumped up after saying this, "Brother, my third brother went to my father-in-law's house. I'll go to our shop for a walk. If you have any trouble, you can deal with it in time."

If you don’t go, there will be nothing wrong with you! Jiang Song laughed and told the servant, “Go and invite Uncle Hou and Uncle Qiu.”

In the north courtyard, Jiang Ling took Liao Yuandong who was wandering around her sister to teach her a lesson. Jiang Muyan was pulled out to play by Liao Chunling, and only three were left in the room, including grandmother, aunt and Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu, who was deliberately staying, listened to his grandmother and aunt's conversations, and then looked at her grandmother with a hurried look.

Mrs. Jiang was amused by her little eyes, "I said whatever I wanted to say, do you still have to wait for my grandmother to ask?"

Jiang Liu looked at Liu Pozi and Jing Xiu and whispered, "Grandma, aunt, when I was at my grandmother's house, my second aunt asked me and my sister how to place my two aunts after the fire broke out across the yard."

Jiang Pinglan frowned, "She actually asked you these?"

Mrs. Jiang asked, "Why did you get back to her?"

Jiang Liu told the story and finally said, "Grandma, how could my second aunt get so angry? Who doesn't like my daddy when she grows up in Kang'an City?"

Mrs. Jiang was amused by her granddaughter, "Silly girl, you really think your father is a hot commodity!"

"Grandmother was wrong. My father is not a hot commodity, but an exiled immortal." Jiang Liu said seriously.

Now, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Pinglan both laughed, "You are a little man! Let's play with your sisters!"

Ah? What about the gossip she wanted to hear? Jiang was very disappointed after leaving it out. Her eyes turned around and went to find her aunt who was working in the East Courtyard.

After Jiang Liu left, the smile on Mrs. Jiang's face gradually faded. Jiang Pinglan said, "Mom, I remember that the Meng family mentioned that they wanted their second brother to marry Meng Ying?"

Mrs. Jiang looked at the lights passing through the pane and recalled, "The Meng family did have this meaning back then, but your second brother didn't like Meng Ying, and Meng Ying didn't look down on your second brother either."

Now I think about it, is this also one of the reasons why the Meng family hated the Jiang family? The more Mrs. Jiang thought about it, the deeper her eyes became.

"Meng Ying is three years older than her second brother. Her second brother has always regarded her as her sister. How could she agree to this marriage? Back then, Meng Ying often played with her daughter. Now, she thought about it. She didn't dislike her second brother, but she had such awkward temperament and acted differently from others. If not, why did she ask her two children about her second brother's concubine?" Jiang Pinglan's generation, Meng Jiang's family had three sons and one daughter, so Jiang Pinglan and Meng Ying had played together since childhood until they got married. Jiang Pinglan knew Meng Ying's temper quite well.

"No matter what, all of this is over." Mrs. Jiang didn't want to mention the past more, nor did she want her daughter to know about the love-win situation. She changed the question, "You are in Le County, but you recognize the clean girl and are willing to be a concubine for others? It's okay to be a few years older. The main reason is that people should be sensible, be beautiful and clean, and look good when they smile."

When Jiang Pinglan heard this condition, she realized that her mother wanted to take a concubine to her second brother. After thinking about it, she said, "There is a family. There is an old scholar who teaches in Le County. He has a daughter at home. He is seventeen years old and has a good appearance and is well-educated."

Mrs. Jiang became interested, "Why haven't such a girl betrothed to others yet?"

Jiang Pinglan preached, "I originally promised someone, but her fiancé really didn't take this marriage seriously. Before the woman could get started, the man secretly gave birth to a son. After the old scholar found out, he quit his daughter, which has been delayed until now. At the end of last year, a matchmaker came to his house and said he had a marriage, but his daughter hadn't heard of it yet..."
