After thinking about it for two days, Mrs. Meng could only write a letter to Meng Yan. After writing the letter, it was a bit inappropriate, so she revised it again, but it was still inappropriate. Finally, she thought about it and simply rewrite it. Then she called a more stern maid, gave a few instructions, and sent it with the letter and some things.

On this end, Meng Yan received a letter from her mother, and after reading it, she showed it to Zhou Juren.

Mrs. Meng’s letter was very simple, just to instruct Meng Yan to be filial to her parents-in-law, take care of her husband, and to say hello to the elders of the Zhou family on behalf of the Meng family.

After seeing it, Zhou Juren was a little disappointed and couldn't help asking: "Why don't my mother-in-law mention the situation at home, such as how about your younger brothers and sisters?"

Meng Yan smiled, as if a little embarrassed, and said, "Mr., I said before that the relationship between our family is a bit complicated. Several of the younger brothers, sisters and nieces you mentioned were not born by their mothers, and they have only come to join us recently... It is natural for mothers not to mention too much."

"What about your second sister?" After Zhou Juren asked, he realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "Didn't you say that the relationship between your mother-in-law and your second sister is pretty good? Now that she is wearing a big belly, her mother-in-law hasn't mentioned a word?"

Meng Yan smiled and said, "My husband, I have said before that the threshold for Dingwang Mansion is high. Even if my mother is a legitimate mother, it is not easy to visit the house often. Maybe she hasn't seen her second sister recently, or she has gone to see her. The second sister is fine, so there is no need to deliberately write some trivial matters. After all, the Meng family was a military general's family before, and our family is not very good at writing letters or other things."

Juren Zhou had nothing to say again.

Meng Yan couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart.

I thought I had married a scholar with noble character, but I didn't expect that I was just a mortal. I didn't even say some things directly, but I would only imply indirectly. She could only pretend that she didn't understand and not break the window paper. Many things probably passed, after all, this is really not a problem.

The same was true for Zhou Caier. She didn't know what she thought at the beginning. Seeing Quan Yaobei wearing gorgeous clothes, red lips and white teeth, and noble, she felt that she must be the young master of a noble family. She just met her like that, but she didn't think about it, what if they had already been engaged or even married?

This is probably because Yang decided to educate her daughter in another way after her life failed. She felt that she was abiding by etiquette, but ended up like this. She was not as good as the daughter of a businessman who had made a private lifelong life.

Being a virtuous and virtuous woman is not necessarily happy. It is better to live a free and easy life and strive for it when it is time to fight for it.

Some thoughts made Zhou Caier's eyes stained with ears and eyes, so he naturally became resentful.

In addition, Yang's status is now awkward, Zhou Caier is a very arrogant person and wants to fight for a breath. She feels that if she can marry into a high school, she will at least be able to maintain an equal footing. Otherwise, she is afraid that the Yang family will be moved out by He's descendants or become a concubine in a hundred years.

People's obsessions will easily become crazy for a lifetime.

In fact, after finding out Quan Yaobei's true identity and family background, Zhou Caier was a little unhappy. Unfortunately, the Quan family felt that they had gained a bargain and spread some rumors. After making this matter, the Zhou family was afraid that it would affect their reputation. Although they were a little reluctant, they also forced the Yang family and their daughter to agree to the marriage.

Of course, although the house of Mr. Quan San has declined a little, the wealthy families in Yancheng are still better than the families of other state prefectures, so Zhou Caier cannot say that she is absolutely unhappy.

But now, the family of Mr. Quan San has become a completely ruined house and can only rely on the Zhou family. When the Zhou family hopes that the Zhou family can use their in-laws to help solve the difficulties through the Ding Prince's Mansion or the Meng family, the Yang family is not happy.

Especially Zhou Caier, she would not lose a lot of rice if she marries into the Quan family, and she would bow her head to the sons of He. How could she do this? She would not live in the shadow of He's son all her life and flatter her sister-in-law all day long.

Think about Quan Yaobei, who looks good, but there are many young people around them who look good. They are still a semi-mart family. As soon as they decline, they become merchants. Like the He family, they look down on him, how can they marry?

Yang wiped his tears, Zhou Caier made a fuss, and the rude requests made by Grandpa Quan San made Master Zhou really feel upset, and there were quite complaints among the clan.

Some clan elders believe that Zhou Caier made mistakes and had a disadvantage in character. She could not withdraw from the marriage anyway. After so long, she simply married the person with a dowry and splashed water from the married daughter. After that, she would do whatever she wanted. Anyway, she could not implicate the reputation of the entire Zhou clan.

How could Yang be willing? Even Master Zhou cannot even insist on his daughter jumping even though he knew it was a fire pit. But the clan elder said it was not unreasonable. Master Quan San’s family lives in the side courtyard of the Zhou family and comes to lobby every day. Who is not upset? If they don’t let them come over, they will say on the street, which is really a bit rascal.

The Zhou family is a scholar. There is no way to treat a slick businessman like Grandpa Quan San. He can only sigh and look worried all day long.

This affected Zhou Juren's study.

Logically speaking, after worshiping his mentor, Juren Zhou should go back to Beijing to study and prepare for the exam, but in this situation at home, how could he go? He couldn't bear to leave his older father and face all this alone.

After Yang was unable to do so, for the first time in more than ten years, he put down his figure and asked Zhou Juren. For his only daughter, he said that as long as his daughter could pass this level, she would do anything, even if she asked herself to leave the temple and spend the rest of her life, and give everything to He.

The men of the Zhou family are all soft-hearted, and the same is true for Zhou Juren. He doesn't want Yang to ask for his mother to come back and take over all this. After all, this is too cruel to Yang. To be fair, Yang has taken care of him in recent years, and has not worried him at all about his trivial matters.

It’s not the next generation’s turn to discuss the right and wrong of the previous generation, but as a woman, Yang is also good.

With soft heart, Zhou Juren wanted to discuss with Meng Yan whether the Meng family would come forward to let the Grandpa Quan San family voluntarily withdraw the bride. In terms of money, the Zhou family could secretly give Grandpa Quan San family some. After all, this marriage was too hasty and both of them did not know much about it.

It is rare for newlyweds to ask for help from husbands.

Meng Yan was not a cold-hearted person, so she had no choice but to write a letter to Mrs. Meng. She also felt that the Zhou family was unanimously convinced that this marriage could not be settled, so as long as the quit was successful, she would have made some contributions. As for what happened in the future, she would not blame her. As a result, Mrs. Meng replied to the reply but did not mention the matter at all, which inevitably disappointed Zhou Juren.

Mrs. Meng can not mention it, but Meng Yan cannot take it as such. Explained to Zhou Juren: "If my husband does not mention it, it means that this matter is difficult to resolve. The Quan family is the mother's family. If the mother comes forward, the relationship with the mother will inevitably be tense, and she will quit the bride as soon as she gets engaged. It also has an impact on the Quan family. Letting the Grand Master Quan San take the initiative to quit the bride is to let them admit that they are wrong. Even if the Grand Master Quan San is willing, the clan elders will have complaints. The Yancheng family pays more attention to reputation."

Meng Yan was right, and Zhou Juren could only sigh: "What should I do? You can't let Sister Caier marry me like that. You can see what Mr. Quan San looks like now. It's obviously unreasonable. How can Sister Caier marry me like, how can she have a good life?"

Meng Yan didn't dare to answer this. She could only sigh and show her sympathy for Zhou Caier. She is a new wife, and sympathy is sympathy. What can she do?

Before marriage, Mrs. Meng kept reminding her not to be too capable. A capable woman has a heavy burden on her body. She helped to solve one thing, and the second thing she would ask for, and she would refuse to save her. So she would show a little incompetent. What is the new wife? It is normal for her to not understand many things when she first entered the house. There are capable servants such as Ping's mother, and most of them can be helped with the food. The Zhou family and Yang family are there. Yang family should be a capable person and can be solved.

Zhou Juren was just a scholar and had no intention of being too careful. It would be almost effortless for Meng Yan to fool him.

But it wasn't that easy for Yang.

On this day, Yang talked to Meng Yan.

After all, it was my mother-in-law and such a complex relationship. Meng Yan's attitude towards Yang was at least more respectful on the surface, so as not to be gossiped about.

Because she is not a serious mother-in-law, Yang can't stand a strict topic. Both sides follow etiquette, either of them, either of them is not too much or too much. Mengyan is doing her best, and Yang cannot be nitpicking. After all, so many pairs of eyes are staring at her, and she really wants to bother her wife, so she can leave immediately, but she can't afford to mess with her.

The Yang family has no son and has a good reputation in the clan. They also know how to advance and retreat and can control the right position.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made needlework together for a while. Yang told Meng Yan some of Zhou Juren’s preferences. For example, Zhou Juren likes to eat fish heads and tails, and he never eats foods with a strong smell like onion and ginger. He likes to wear gauze shirts or cotton cloth in summer, and does not like to wear silk...

These are very useful. Meng Yan secretly wrote them down and thanked them sincerely afterwards.

Yang immediately asked Meng Yan if there were any taboos. If there were, don’t be polite. They are all family members and they really can’t eat certain foods.

Meng Yan has some preferences, but it doesn't matter. There is nothing you absolutely don't want to eat. Even if you don't like it, you can eat it. Yang is polite. She dare not be afraid of it. She just said a lot of preferences and asked the kitchen to cook according to her taste in the future. This matter seems to be Yang's concern for his wife, but outsiders don't know it. It would be bad to take it out that day. She would say that the new wife of the Zhou family was picky and asked the kitchen to cook according to her own taste, regardless of others.

Although Yang may not be such a person, it is always right to prevent problems before they happen. They don’t stay here for too long, and they don’t need to be too picky for a month or two.

As for Yang's preferences and taboos, Meng Yan had already asked some old servants and elders of the Zhou family in advance, and jumped out when giving gifts. For example, Yang did not like butterflies and big red and green flowers, and these two patterns must not be found on the fabric. However, his sister-in-law Zhou Caier prefers simple colors, jewelry likes jade products, gold and silver, and flowers.

After several tests between each other.

Yang learned that Meng Yan was not a simple new wife, she was very sensible and very alert.

It is difficult for such people to calculate for a while. Even if they can be deceived, they will remember it in their hearts. They may not be able to find it back, so they dare not be careless.

After thinking about it, he simply asked directly: "I heard how many sisters there are in your parents' home?"

Meng Yan said: "If you say goodbye to your mother-in-law, you are not your sister, but your niece and niece."

"Oh, I heard it wrong. My wife is young and has several nieces. I guess the family must be very lively." Yang continued to ask.

Meng Yan raised the silk thread and lowered her eyebrows and said, "No, my Meng family is a military general's family. My father said that men need to be trained, so when the boy was eight years old, he moved to the outer courtyard to study and practice martial arts. When he was twelve, he sent him to the military camp for training. After getting married, he sent him out to make a future for himself, so he was not together. Even I used to go to a boudoir school and lived in the boudoir school all year round, so except for the New Year, there were few lively times."

"That's how!" Yang said with some sympathy, "Flesh separation, your mother must miss you very much on weekdays, right?"

"Yes!" Meng Yan nodded, "But there is nothing we can do about this. My mother has to take charge of the gifts and housework. There are many people in the Yancheng governments. My mother is so busy that she can't take care of her every day. Even if we are in the palace, she will find it difficult to take care of her at all times."

"Does your brothers and sisters not be able to meet for a long time?" Yang said: "I heard that if you don't meet for a long time, your relationship will be much more distant."

Meng Yan smiled and said, "That's not possible. You can write letters. You always look forward to meeting each other. It's better than being at home all day. After all, even brothers and sisters are prone to being dirty. This way, we can enhance our relationship with each other. I will not hide it from my mother-in-law. One of my younger brothers is the least fond of reading on weekdays. The words are even worse than those of a newly enlightened child. But after separation, I have to write letters every day. After a few months, my writing is much better. Even the reader in the military camp said that his articles are better than others."

"No wonder you read well," Yang praised, "It seems that the way in-laws raise children is excellent."

Meng Yan smiled shyly: "Father said that this is the same as a filial son under the stick. You can only become responsible when you are young if you are young."

"What kind of person is your second sister...?" Yang asked, afraid that Meng Yan would misunderstand and explain, "That is, some elders in the clan are curious. In our countryside, there are occasionally a brilliant lady, a princess, etc., to us, they are just gods. In some towns, except for the top scholar or concubine, they change their names, namely the top scholar village, the Shuangfei Town, etc."
