Chapter 268 Relatives
The old lady nodded repeatedly and patted her hands with satisfaction: "I can tell at a glance that you are sensible and virtuous! You can slowly persuade her. If she is not satisfied with the person chosen by her husband's family, why not find someone from her own family? The Qin family has a gentle girl of Ji Gan, who can also be married in as a concubine, to strengthen the relationship between the relatives. It is best for the sisters to take care of each other. If there is no such girl, buy a few honest and kind girls and send them to her. Let her choose whoever she likes! Now she only trusts her own family in her eyes and heart, so I will trouble my mother-in-law for this matter!"
Mrs. Qin didn't expect the old lady to say that. Did she leave the matter of finding a concubine for her son-in-law to her mother-in-law? Did her parents help find a concubine and send a maid? She seemed to have never heard of such a thing, but she wanted to refuse but couldn't. The old lady yawned, stretched out her hand to the second wife beside her, and said tiredly: "It's past the nap time, no wonder I'm so sleepy - Madam, please sit down or lie on this couch. I'll go to the clean room first and lie down by the way... Oh, I'm tired after sitting for so long!"?
The second wife hurriedly apologized to Madam Qin, and helped the old lady in first, leaving Madam Qin sitting there alone for a long time without anyone coming out. She had no choice but to leave the painting hall and find her maids in the corridor. Immediately, the maids and maids around Ji Mama came to persuade her to stay, saying that the old lady would only rest for a while and then come out. Madam Qin smiled and said goodbye, wanting to go to Qinghua Courtyard. The maids understood that she was worried about her grandchildren, so they hurriedly called for a sedan chair to come, helped Madam Qin into the sedan chair, and went to Qinghua Courtyard. ?
Meimei placed Madam Qin on the couch to rest for a while, and while massaging her shoulders and legs, she asked:
"What do you think, mother? Do you really want to find two concubines for Lord Hou to fight with your daughter?"
Madam Qin closed her eyes in enjoyment and sighed, "Son, I now know how experienced your grandmother is. Unlike your mother-in-law, she is a person who does not show her feelings! Fortunately, you have changed your personality, otherwise it would be really hard to live in this mansion... It's hard for you. I will not stop you in other matters, but you must obey the arrangements of the elders on the matter of offspring! If you don't want a concubine, you can take a maid into your room. After giving birth to a child, pass it to you and raise it together with Heng'er. When it grows up, she will only recognize you as her biological mother. It doesn't matter if my own maid becomes a concubine. I won't compete with you. The Lord treats you very well, and I think you can't compete with me. These maids are kept by me for you since they were young. They are outstanding in appearance and are all honest. They are your dowry maids, just in case there is such a day! After the New Year, let the son-in-law choose a round one..."?
"Mother!"?
Meimei pinched Mrs. Qin's arm violently, causing her to gasp in pain. "What's wrong with you, kid?"
Meimei glared at her: "Are you still my mother? You just listen to what that old woman says! I don't want any concubines or maids! What if you can't have children? I'd rather pick one up on the street and raise one than have someone else give birth to a child for my husband!"?
Madam Qin was angry: "What are you talking about? The matter of offspring is related to the prosperity of the Hou Mansion in the future. How can you do it as you please? How did your mother teach you? When a woman marries into her husband's family, she must be a good wife and give birth to offspring for her husband. If you can't do it yourself, you should think of a way to fulfill your duties as a good wife and not be spoiled by your favor. Now the Hou Lord loves you for your youth and beauty. In the future, you will be old and ugly and he will have few offspring. Can you bear it when he blames you? You can't bear the blame for preventing others from giving birth to offspring and delaying the prosperity of the Hou Mansion in the future! Now the old lady has blamed you for being jealous and unvirtuous. Do you want her to say something worse?!"?
Meimei sneered: "Not virtuous? In a family like this, with elders like this, if you remain virtuous and chaste, you are waiting for death! Your daughter has been unvirtuous for hundreds of years!"?
Madam Qin sat up and looked at her with horror: "What did you say? Don't talk nonsense... There is no one else in this room, but there is a maid watching the door. If the Marquis hears you saying this, will you still be alive?"
"What are you afraid of? My daughter didn't do anything bad!"?
Meimei saw that she almost frightened Madam Qin with her words, and her resentment towards her was reduced a lot. She gently pinched her arm and said, "You are jealous. As a woman, who wouldn't be jealous?"
Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "My son! I still say the same thing, it would be great if you can live a rich and noble life until old age, if not, I just hope you are safe! You have become so stubborn, I am afraid of you! I have accepted the old lady's request to find a concubine for the Marquis, so that you can have more children... Since you don't want to, so forget it! But if I don't do this, there is no guarantee that your grandmother will find someone else to do it, you can do it yourself.
From now on, don't be so stubborn and talk nonsense, and don't talk back to your elders too much. No matter how much the Lord Hou loves you, you are still his grandmother! How many women are as beautiful as you in the world? He can find another wife, but he can only have one grandmother! Blood is the most precious and important, you must remember this, don't go too far! At least you have Heng'er, take good care of him. As a mother, I don't expect every man to be as devoted as your father, I just hope that the Lord Hou can love you for a few more years, and when Heng'er grows up and is determined to be the prince, if he dislikes you and takes a concubine and has a child, you and your son will have a firm footing, and there is nothing to worry about!"?
Meimei sighed and looked at Madam Qin: "Mother, mother! If I were not your biological daughter, would you still love me?"
Madam Qin raised her hand and touched her forehead, then hugged her into her arms: "My child! Are you possessed? Is the master in the temple really an accomplished monk? How come you prayed for blessings, but you only say things that make me worried! I gave birth to you and raised you, how could I not love you? No matter what you become, whether you are a noble lady or a village woman, I am still your mother! If you are good, I will watch over you. If you are not, I will follow you and love and care for you!"?
Meimei leaned against Mrs. Qin happily: "It's better to have a mother who loves me! But mother, I don't like your nagging!"?
Madam Qin smiled and pinched her: "As a mother, I have raised you with all my heart. Now that you have grown up and married, it is not easy to see you. Can't I ask you to listen to a few words of nagging?"
Meimei touched her forehead and said, "Okay, since mom came to see me today, you can nag as much as you want!"
The mother and daughter were sitting on the couch, talking to each other. Mrs. Qin was holding Meimei in her arms and combing her daughter's hair. Suddenly, Cuixi came in, followed by Cheng'er, Ping'er and Fengshi. Cheng'er and Fengshi were holding the Qin family's twins. They had obviously just woken up and had enough milk. They were very energetic. When they saw their grandmother who usually loved them was holding their aunt, the two little ones were not happy and screamed at the same time. Meimei smiled and sat up, saying:
"Well, give it back to your grandmother. Stop shouting! You're deaf!"?
Mrs. Feng put her son on the couch and patted his little butt gently: "You will fight with your aunt for your grandmother!"
Mrs. Qin hugged her grandson with one hand and her granddaughter with the other, smiling contentedly: "Isn't it just what you and your sister learned? When Mei Niang was young, she also bullied her mother. When she saw her brother was hugged, she screamed. The brother was sensible and immediately let go. Now that I think about it, it's really pitiful that child. He is only two or three years older than my sister!"
Meimei smiled and touched her nephew's face: "So now your auntie will let you, you don't have to be polite, just take over your grandmother, your auntie won't snatch it away!"?
Everyone started laughing. Cui Si led Heng'er in. Heng'er laughed when he saw the excitement on the couch. He quickly climbed onto the couch and climbed onto his grandmother's back from behind. He pushed too hard and almost knocked Mrs. Qin over. The grandchildren couldn't hold on steadily, and the four of them fell on the couch together. Everyone in the room laughed. Xu Junying and Qin Boqing came in from outside and couldn't help laughing at the chaotic scene.
The three generations of the Qin family went to Qiuhua Courtyard again. Xu Junying and Xu Junxuan sat in the front hall with everyone. Only Meimei accompanied Madam Qin and Feng to see Madam Zheng. Madam Zheng was awake and could nod and smile. She could also raise her hands slightly. Mother He showed her the gifts sent to her by the Qin family one by one. Madam Zheng smiled and nodded, looked at Mother He, and turned her eyes to the large cupboard on the other side. Mother He smiled and said to Meimei, "Madam, are you asking me to return the gift?"
Meimei smiled and said to Madam Zheng: "Don't worry, mother, your daughter-in-law will take care of it!"
Madam Zheng nodded again and closed her eyes. Is this considered seeing the guests off? Meimei shrugged slightly and led Madam Qin and Feng out of her room. ?
The Qin family didn't stay for dinner. It was still early, so they packed up the children's clothes and went out the second gate to get on the car to go back to the mansion. According to Mrs. Qin, it was not easy for children to walk at night, and they were afraid that their weak souls would be taken away by bad things. In the past, when Meimei brought Heng'er back to her parents' home, she also said the same thing. Once, it was already dark, and she originally let the mother and son stay, but when Xu Junying came, she changed her mind and wanted Meimei to go home with her son-in-law. Meimei refused and brought out her own excuses. Mrs. Qin actually argued: Xu Junying commanded thousands of troops and was a god in the sky. With him protecting them, what demons dared to block the way? Meimei was speechless and followed Xu Junying back to the mansion. ?
I didn't get enough sleep on Lantern Festival night, and I was tired from entertaining guests all day, so I went to bed early at night. I thought that I would go to court the next day after a good rest, and those at home would take care of the housework. Meimei still had a lot of business outside to respond to. Looking through the account books, I thought that at the beginning of the new year, no matter public or private, I had to sort it out. I frowned and curled up in Xu Junying's arms, refusing to move, just sighing. ?
Xu Junying kissed her hair and asked, "Is it about today's incident?"
"Today's affairs? Yes - yesterday's affairs, today's affairs, tomorrow's affairs, and the day after tomorrow's affairs, they are all annoying!"?
Meimei was still sighing, Xu Junying smiled, kissed her and said: "Let the past be the past, tomorrow will have its own tomorrow, why think so much? Isn't it just asking for trouble?"
His hands gently stroked Meimei's waist and back, moved down to her buttocks, and then up to her breasts, caressing those two plump and soft breasts, and his lips covered her cherry lips, asking for it. Meimei always curled up, lazily nestled in his arms, her lips closed, enjoying his kiss, and occasionally stretched out her lilac buds to tease him, and quickly retracted them. Xu Junying's breath became heavier, and his hands moved more attentively and gently. His index finger gently plucked that pink spot. Meimei moaned softly, but still tensed her body and clenched her pink lips. ?
Xu Junying begged in a low voice: "Meimei!"?
Meimei chuckled: "Go to sleep! Don't worry about it - my relatives are coming today!"?
"What, what relatives? Didn't they leave?"
"Husband, I didn't tell you that women who have sex once a month are also called relatives!"?
Xu Junying froze for a moment, then he rubbed her whole body into his, gritted his teeth and growled:
"Cen Meimei! Do you want to harm your husband on purpose?"
