This old man is like a child when he gets old, he is really willful, and he uses threats and tricks at every turn.

After picking, Meng Lao agreed to go to the restaurant with her for dinner first.

I didn't even say a word first, what if the food cooked at home was completely insufficient?

During the meal, Meng Lao told her the origin of the Meng family's compound.

"That is a very long relationship between the Meng family and the Nian family. Meng Lao sighed and said, "In the past, my mother's surname was Nian. Their family is also from the old capital, but there was an accident in the family during the Qing Dynasty, so they could only sell the house at a low price, exchange the money for the family's travel expenses, and leave the capital. ”

Jiang Xiao poured him a cup of tea and listened to him continue.

"And the person who bought this house is my grandfather, and since then, the Nian Mansion has become the Meng House. Later, when the military compound was built, such a piece was chosen, and it was said that our family was also encircled, so the Meng Mansion is the most special house in the compound. ”

Hey, what else can it be?

Of course, for what the reason is, Meng Lao didn't make it too clear.

Later, the descendants of the Nian family moved back to Beijing and wanted to buy back the house, by the way, that is, my mother's father came to talk about it. We have lived there for several generations, and we have regarded it as our ancestral home, how can we sell it? I said to him at the time, "What's so difficult about this, marry your daughter to my son, and then this house will be our two families?"

Speaking of this, Meng Lao sighed heavily.

"I don't know if it's a bad fate, I was originally joking, but my father really looked at my mother in the past, and it didn't take long for my father to tell me that he wanted to marry that girl. ”

Jiang Xiao listened a little fascinated.

She didn't expect that Meng's father's family and mother's family still had such a relationship.

"They still had a very loving time after they got married. My daughter-in-law there is very nice, smart, generous, housekeeper, and also teaches her children well. ”

If so, why did they end up like that?

When his wife died of illness, her husband soon married another wife, and he doted on his second wife so much.

Later, I don't know what happened, they suddenly quarreled every day, and then the Korean army began to go out early and return late, sometimes drunk, and the daughter-in-law became reticent and lost weight day by day. Later, it ......"

And then it became like this.

He sometimes wanted to mention these things to Meng Qiannian, but Meng Qiannian didn't want to hear it at all.

"Grandpa, are you insisting on guarding this old mansion because you think it belongs to my brother's mother in the past?" Jiang Xiao asked.

Meng Lao sighed and said, "This is the biggest reason, and another reason is that there was a rumor later, of course, even if it is a rumor, it may not be credible." ”

He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the old lady of the Nian family didn't know when she sold the house, and the old lady of his family hid a bunch of jewelry that the Nian family had saved for many years in a certain place in the house! The old lady said that she died of a sudden illness, and she didn't have time to tell them about it, so the old lady didn't know at all, and she thought that all the things in her family had been destroyed by the old lady before." ”

"Poof!"

Jiang Xiao took a sip of tea.

It's really not that she's rude, but that she thinks that the story Meng Lao told is really too bizarre! It has exceeded her psychological preparation, so she can't control it for a while.
