Patriarch, he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations

Chapter 58

Meng Hong was also very confused.

He has been here in this world for 19 years. The so-called do as the Romans do, he has already integrated into this place very much.

Fortunately, when I was young, I didn't have so many worries.That is, in the past two years, he began to become anxious.At first, this anxiety came from his former father, just like Meng Qing now, the former father always whispered in his ear, saying that he was not doing his job properly, and that he was cynical when he reached the age of marriage, how could he start a family in the future? , how to discipline their children.

Meng Hong thought his father's words were very sarcastic, and felt ridiculous.The father set his example for the son, and he had the nerve to talk about him even though he knew he was being cynical.

It's really easy to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps.This kind of days of being lectured did not stop until his former father was taken over by the current time-traveling father.

But here it stops, and there it rises again.Now this father does not teach him, but his elder brother Meng Qing does not let him go.Meng Qing's level of preaching is even better than that of his old father. As long as the two brothers meet, Meng Qing will be like a Tang monk chanting scriptures, oh my, oh my, chanting in his ear non-stop.

What Meng Qing misses the most is his marriage, saying that he should be married when he is old. His father has become like a demon since he went to the academy to study. He only cares about books in his heart, and his son doesn't care about anything at home.

As the saying goes, an older brother is like a father, and if a father doesn't care about his son's marriage, he can only do it for his elder brother.Meng Hong felt that his elder brother was a bit too much, and he was too fatherly, so he urged him too hard.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to get married, it's just that he doesn't know who to marry.I'm afraid people will laugh at me if I say it, although he has lived two lifetimes, he has never even touched a girl's hand.

In his previous life, he was born in a wealthy family, and his father passed away when he was very young.The family opened a chain restaurant, and his mother was usually too busy with business to take care of him, so she sent him to live in the school.But he is also a person who doesn't like reading. He dropped out of school before finishing high school and went to take care of business with his mother.

When he was in school, the school prohibited students from falling in love. He usually had a lot of dealings with boys. Although he also had contact with girls, he had never had a close relationship with them.And at that time he was addicted to games, how could he have time to find girls to play with.

After following his mother to do business, his mother had very strict requirements on him and kept him under tight supervision.He has to learn a lot of things all day long, and he has no time to fall in love.

When he was 19 years old, he managed to spare half a month to go out to play with his friends. Unfortunately, his plane crashed. When he opened his eyes again, he became a newborn baby who was crying and didn't know anything.

His mother died when he was just born, and it was the nanny and the family servants who brought him up.When he was 15 years old, he asked his elder brother for some money. Based on his business experience in his previous life, he first opened a restaurant in the county town, and then opened a restaurant in the capital city, and the business was pretty good.

This business is smooth sailing, but the relationship has always been blank.In this dynasty, the marriages of children were mostly decided by their parents. Most people were engaged and then married. Before they got married, they didn't even know what the other party looked like.

Although Meng Hong often runs outside, there are only a handful of women he can get in touch with.What Yingying, Zhang Shenghong, and Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai are only found in dramas, but in reality, they are mostly the words of the matchmaker at the order of their parents.

A friend once introduced his sisters to him, and he laughed them off at the time, they were all wine and meat friends, and the marriage of the girl's family was beyond the control of his brothers, it was just a polite joke among friends, how could he take it seriously.

Speaking of which, the women he had the most contact with were their maids, but he couldn't marry them, otherwise he would break his legs if he got halal.

To sum up, if Meng Hong wants to marry a wife, he mainly depends on the introduction of his family and matchmaker. He has been introduced to two girls before, Miss Liu Er from Liu Yuan's family, and Miss Deng Zhaozhao from Deng Yuming's family.

Unfortunately, he rejected them all.Now his elder brother is urging him to get married, he is really being forced to be ruthless, and he has a rebellious heart.Meng Qing wanted him to do what he wanted, but he refused to let him do what he wanted.

Didn't Mengqing hate Deng Zhaozhao, so he would marry Deng Zhaozhao in order to make himself more comfortable.

Miss Kuang Zhaozhao was gentle and pleasant, and he didn't dislike him after seeing her.Anyway, it's all about marrying, so it's better to marry someone you can see.

Just when he was full of joy, waiting to see Meng Qing's angry and furious appearance, Meng Qing sat there with restraint and sneered at his words:

"Okay, you go to be the son-in-law of Deng Yuming's family, and the children born in the future will be named Dengbu and Meng."

Speaking of this, Meng Qing suddenly stood up, changed his good attitude just now, pointed at him and scolded: "Get out now!"

But Menghong will not get out.Since this marriage is going to end sooner or later, it's better to let it go today and explain it clearly, so as to save the trouble of breaking up and breaking up later.

"Who said I'm going to be his family's son-in-law? How can I be someone else's son-in-law when I'm seven feet tall? Say it."

Meng Hong opened the stool and sat down, without looking at his brother again.Meng Qing also sat down, his expression still not very good, "Then the Deng family will have to observe mourning for two years, if you insist on marrying Deng Zhaozhao, you will have to wait for two years."

"Just wait." Meng Hong said, he was not in a hurry for these two years.

"Well, tomorrow I will ask Matchmaker Cui to go to Deng's house to talk about marriage. Whether it will work or not will have to be discussed separately. If it doesn't work, let Matchmaker Cui tell you about other homes. There are many good girls in the world, and there is no need for her to be Deng Zhaozhao. No."

Meng Hong said "Yes" and didn't refute anymore, because his brother's attitude was very good, and his speech was not as sharp as before, so it was difficult for him to confront others.He just didn't expect that Meng Qing would agree with him and Deng Zhaozhao.

What Meng Qing thinks is, as long as Meng Hong agrees to get married, it doesn't matter who the other party is.Although he didn't like Deng Zhaozhao very much, it was Meng Hong who married him, not him, so he didn't need to be so strict.

Because this matter had a satisfactory result, the original peace and quiet were restored on the dinner table.

Meng Zhen saw with his own eyes that the two brothers were in a state of peace from the moment when their swords were on the verge of breaking out to now when the dust settled down.I thought to myself, no matter how much the two brothers quarreled, they were still brothers, they were both born of the same father, and they could still turn against each other.

Not only Mengzhen, but the other two Wang Xinyu and Meng Che also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally calmed down. The family members should still be harmonious.I hope that the family will be like this in the future, and there will be no constant quarrels, because quarrels will not only affect the mood of the parties involved, but also the people around them will also be worried and afraid.

On the second day, Meng Zhen got up, washed up, had breakfast, and was about to go to school in a carriage, when Matchmaker Cui called Master Meng and stepped into his room.

"Master Meng, Meng Hong of your family really wants to marry the daughter of Deng Yuming's family?" Matchmaker Cui just woke up this morning when she was startled by Meng Qing's sudden visit.Since Meng Qing got married, the Meng family never came to him again.What is Meng Qing asking for her sudden visit at this moment.

After Mengqing finished explaining the reason, Matchmaker Cui gradually showed embarrassment. This matter is not easy to handle. She was asked by Deng's family these days to tell Deng Zhaozhao her son-in-law, but she said several times in a row. Not being favored by the Deng family, she is also very worried.

When Meng Qing asked her to tell their family Meng Hong about Deng Zhaozhao, her eyes suddenly lit up, but before she could feel happy, Meng Qing said that their family Meng Hong would not be a door-to-door son-in-law and wanted her to marry them Come to the Meng family.

This baffled Matchmaker Cui, and the Deng family specially urged her to find a son-in-law, and those who did not become the son-in-law would not be considered in the exam.

She was about to reject Meng Qing, but Meng Qing seemed to be in a hurry, left this sentence and left in a hurry, not even letting her finish her words of rejection.

She had no choice but to go to Meng's mansion in person, but it happened that Mengzhen was at home, so she explained her purpose and asked the other party the question just now.

Meng Zhen nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Matchmaker Cui hurriedly explained: "Master Meng doesn't know something. The Deng family wants me to find a son-in-law who comes to their family. If he is not a door-to-door son-in-law, he will not consider it. You are now... this matter is indeed a bit embarrassing for me. I am sorry that I can't agree to you."

Matchmaker Cui refused, but her tone was weak and her rejection was not thorough.

Meng Zhen quickly said: "You are so eloquent, so naturally you can call recruiting a son-in-law a marriage."

Matchmaker Cui said hello, and said: "Look at what Master Meng said. I don't have such a clever tongue. It can't be solved by being eloquent. It has to turn things around."

Meng Zhen said again: "Matchmaker Cui has been in this business for so many years, she must have done a lot of things to turn things around, so what's the point of having more Meng Hong today."

Matchmaker Cui was amused for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I didn't realize that Mr. Meng was so talkative before. I remember that Mr. Meng didn't care about his son's marriage before, why did he care about it today. But your Menghong is like this, It's not that I'm talking too much... The girl from the Liu family I introduced to him before was so good and so suitable for him, he couldn't help it, but now that it's all right, the second girl Liu is betrothed to someone else, and he has fallen in love with girl Zhaozhao again ..."

"If Deng Yuming was still alive, your marriage would not be a problem. But when Deng Yuming died, the Deng family is an orphan and widow, just waiting to recruit a son-in-law to continue the incense. But you ask people to change their son-in-law to marriage. This is not embarrassing the old man What about it?"

"If you find it embarrassing, don't say it. I am still in a hurry to go to school, so I will leave first." After talking for a long time without saying anything, Meng really thought she was too long-winded, and if he missed her, he wanted to leave.

Matchmaker Cui stopped him with two "hey" and said, "Master Meng, don't rush to leave. Although I am in a difficult situation, I can't touch your Meng family's face. I have the right to be my wife to do good deeds to accumulate virtue for the next life." , I’m going to make this trip for you, to see if I can turn this world around.”

After speaking, Matchmaker Cui turned around and left, but Meng Zhen thought, since he was going anyway, why wasted so much talking, causing him to waste the whole morning in vain.

When I arrived at the school, the classroom was already full of people, and the sound of reading aloud came from Minglun Hall and spread to every corner of the school.

Today, Instructor Yang asked for leave because of something at home. During the shooting class in the morning, Meng Zhen was thinking about Meng Hong while he was in class.

When he finished school in the afternoon, he still didn't see Matchmaker Cui.Meng really thought, it seems that this situation has not been turned around, and everything is really difficult.

He glanced at Meng Hong who was standing beside him, and told him not to wait, just go about his own business.

Meng Hong said with a smile: "I have nothing to do, I'm here to talk to Dad. No matter how anxious Dad looks, I'm not in a hurry."

This man made Meng Zhen unhappy when he spoke, Meng Zhen glared at him, and said: "Go away, don't stand in front of me and block my eyes. You can go about your own business in a hurry, it has nothing to do with me."

"All right, all right, I was wrong, dad, don't drive me away, I'll just stop talking nonsense."

The father and son waited for another half an hour, seeing the sky darken and the evening wind blowing in through the open window, bringing a burst of refreshment.

Just when the two of them were hopeless about this matter, Matchmaker Cui suddenly came back.Matchmaker Cui's complexion was not very good, with a sad look on her face, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that things were not done well.

"Master Meng, Second Young Master Meng." Matchmaker Cui stepped forward to greet the two of them, forcing a smile on her face.

"How about the marriage?" Meng Hong hurriedly asked.

Matchmaker Cui shook her head and sighed: "It's not so good, second son, your marriage will be fine when Deng Yuming is alive, but now the family is unanimous in wanting to find a son-in-law for Deng Zhaozhao. Called, at this moment, the Deng family is still sitting together talking endlessly. My mouth is dry and I can't get in for a while, so I will come back first and give you a message, so that you can feel at ease."

"But Second Young Master, don't be too anxious. There is no conclusion on this matter. What Bowen's father meant was to respect Miss Zhaozhao's wishes. If Miss Zhaozhao is willing to marry, let her marry; if not, recruit a son-in-law."

"What did Miss Zhaozhao say?" Meng Hong hurriedly asked.

Matchmaker Cui suddenly laughed: "Look at you in such a hurry, you two have met before, when Miss Zhaozhao blushed when she mentioned you, she was very shy. My opinion. Miss Ren means that she is willing to marry you, and won’t let you intrude into their house.”

"Then..." Meng Hong also smiled suddenly, "Isn't that enough?"

Matchmaker Cui: "But the girl's mother and several wives do not agree. There is still room for discussion on this matter. I will go and ask tomorrow to see what the situation is."

Meng Hong hurriedly handed over a glass of water, "Auntie has worked hard, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Matchmaker Cui gave him a squinting look: "I used to say goodbye to you, but your stern face made me look like a plague god, and told you to avoid me. Now you know how to be filial, so you are too. A man who sees the wind and turns the rudder."

Meng Hong said with a smile: "Isn't that stupid before, now that I'm enlightened, how can I wait and not wink like that, my aunt is worried about my marriage, I have to be filial."

Matchmaker Cui finished drinking the water and put down the glass before she said, "Your father has given birth to so many sons, so you are the only one who can talk. Well, the words have been brought to you. I have been on the go all day, so I should go home and rest. It's gone." He stood up and told his father and son that she would visit Deng's house tomorrow, and if she had good news, she would come over and tell them immediately.

After Matchmaker Cui left, Meng Hong asked Meng Zhen: "Father, do you think this marriage can be done?"

Meng Zhen said: "It can be done. You didn't see Matchmaker Cui's confident look. She is probably cheating on you. Maybe it's already done."

Meng Hong said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, father will also be able to see the tricks of the heart. Since father has said so, then this matter must be possible."

Sure enough, in the early morning of the second day, before breakfast, Matchmaker Cui ran over and said, "Second Master Meng, the Deng family has agreed to your marriage with Miss Zhaozhao. It is said that your marriage will be settled in advance in a few days." , I will let you get married when Miss Zhaozhao is filial."

At this moment, Meng Hong was in his father's house, and he was a bit startled when he heard what Cui Matchmaker said, it was done so quickly?

"Hey, Mr. Meng didn't know something. Originally, there was still trouble in this matter, but last night Deng Yuming entrusted the Deng family with a dream, asking Miss Zhaozhao to marry into your Meng family. This dead man has spoken, how dare the Deng family disagree."

Meng Hong and his father looked at each other, regardless of Deng Yuming's dream or not, at least this matter was done.

I couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Meng Zhen didn't say anything, and went to school after dinner.

The author says:

I fell asleep while writing last night, woke up early in the morning, and quickly finished writing the rest.I still have to go to work today, if only I could not go to work...
