After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

"You are thoughtful. The medicine is really good. I feel better after taking two doses." Lin said gently.

"I didn't know Third Aunt had this old illness. If I had known earlier, I would have sent her away earlier. Why did she have to suffer for so many years in vain?" Meng Wan served the tea to Lin.

Lin took the tea and scraped it gently. "It's an old problem. It happens every autumn. I don't know why this year, but I coughed so badly. Maybe it's because it got cold so early this year."

Meng Wan nodded, "Aunt San, at least try eating it for a winter. Even if it doesn't get rid of the disease, it will be good to suffer less next year."

"Well, I see that they are all nourishing herbs, nothing hard to find. Otherwise, why do people say that the level of doctors varies here? The same medicine can be made with better results by some people."

"So, all the high-level ones were invited to the palace." Meng Wan said with a smile.

"In the palace? Haha, not necessarily. Sometimes, if someone happens to cure a disease, he or she will be regarded as a miracle doctor. But people often overlook one thing: the same medicine for the same disease may have different effects. People's bodies are different, so how can we generalize?"

Meng Wan listened to Lin's slightly sarcastic tone and intuitively felt that there was something else behind her words.

Lin sighed again and said softly, "When your mother-in-law was still alive, she knew I had this problem, and she prepared 'cough powder' for me to take before autumn. Alas, such a good person passed away just like that. Poor Yingrong and her brother... I am a widow, with little influence, and I can't take care of them. I feel ashamed of the love that my eldest sister-in-law gave me back then."

Meng Wan didn't expect that Lin would take the initiative to mention Wang to her, and the fact that she could say such words showed how dissatisfied she was with Hu, or even how disdainful she was.

This can be seen from the moment she entered the door. After just a polite greeting, without even saying a few words, Lin sat alone on the side watching Hu and Luo (Zhou Yihuai's wife) chatting happily.

Meng Wan remembered what Zhou Yu said, that Zhou Jun is doing very well in the Ministry of Revenue now. He will be promoted to the fourth rank after the examination and examination next year.

It is impossible to say that Zhou Jun has come this far without the help of Zhou Yiheng, but it is more because of his own efforts. Zhou Yihuai often asks Zhou Yiheng to help his two sons, and he must be able to help them succeed.

Meng Wan watched Luo and Hu talking to each other with a flattering look on their faces, turning their heads to look at her from time to time, curling their lips in disdain and turning their heads away. She smiled slightly, "Aunt San, please don't say that. I heard from Second Master that it was thanks to you that my eldest sister got married when she was able to get married."

Lin seemed to recall what happened in the past and sighed again, "Although every family has its own rules, I really don't understand the rules of the palace. It turns out that she is the rule. Humph. The legitimate eldest daughter's wedding actually let a maid help to arrange it. Isn't she afraid of being criticized by people in the capital."

After saying this, Lin took a sip of tea and put it down casually. She patted Meng Wan's hand and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past, and talking about it only makes things sad. After the New Year, spring has arrived, and the weather is warm. If you have time, come to my place and sit down. Your sister-in-law makes delicious soups."

Meng Wan turned to look at Zhou Jun's wife Bai, who was watching the girls cutting paper-cuts with Zhou Yinghan. Bai was also Lin's niece. She was a very gentle person, and when she smiled occasionally, you could see two playful little canine teeth.

Meng Wan nodded, "It's my fault. I've been married for so long, but I've only been to Third Aunt's house twice. I'm really unfilial. If Third Aunt doesn't mind me being stupid, I'll go often to entertain her and taste Jun's cooking skills."

Meng Wan went to the third room twice, once for Lin's birthday celebration and once for Zhou Jun's sister's wedding.

"I know you're busy. You've just married into the family, so things are bound to be messy. You've got to get your garden in order."

"I'm afraid Sister Xuan won't be able to come back in the third year of junior high school, right?"

Zhou Yingxuan is Lin's daughter. The third room has only one son and one daughter, both of whom are legitimate.

Hearing this, Lin sighed, "That's right. Who would have thought that just one month after getting married, she would go south with her son-in-law. I don't know how many years it will be before I can see him again." Although she said this, there was a sense of pride on her face.

Zhou Yingxuan married the son of Zhou Jun's superior. Because the superior admired Zhou Jun's character, he personally arranged the marriage with Zhou Jun.

Zhou Yingxuan's son-in-law was also very outstanding. He passed the imperial examination three years ago and after three years of experience in the Ministry of Works, with the help of various parties, he became the magistrate of a county in the southern part of the country with abundant fish and rice.

"Brother-in-law, try your best to practice while you are still young. Come back in three to five years and you will be in a completely different situation. When the time comes, Third Aunt will just fill your wallet and give red envelopes to my nephew and niece."

These words touched Lin's heart, and he squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Sister Xuan is a blessed woman, not like the one in our family." Meng Wan glanced at Zhou Yinghan who was coaxing several Miss Sun.

"That's right. Sister Han is only one year younger than Sister Xuan. Haven't we discussed it yet?"

"I haven't heard about it. I guess he thought about it after the New Year." Meng Wan shook his head.

"I think she wants to send this girl away after she has chosen one for her daughter. Why would she do this to a concubine's daughter who is so obedient and docile?"

"Who knows? Maybe Concubine Li didn't do it well."

"Not yet..." Before Lin could finish her words, a maid came in outside and said that the banquet was ready and everyone was invited to move to Qingbo Tower.

When we arrived at Qingbo Tower, we went straight to the second floor. It was already dark outside. Looking out from the second floor windows, we saw that some people in the distance had started setting off fireworks. The fireworks soared into the sky with a "ssss" sound and spread out in all directions, illuminating the night sky. It was very beautiful.

The children leaned against the windows and cried out. Zhou Yihuai's eldest grandson ran to Zhou Yiheng and said, "Grandfather, when are we going to let the kids go?"

This sentence made everyone laugh. Zhou Yihuai's eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhou Yiheng, tapped her son's forehead and said, "What prince grandfather? Haven't I told you many times to call him 'uncle grandfather'?"

Zhou Yiheng took the child's hand and said, "Are you anxious? Okay, let's put it up now and see which one looks better, ours or theirs?"

When the children heard this, they clapped their hands happily. Xie Fen asked the nanny to put on the children's cloaks and hold the hand warmer, and then stand or hug the window.

The fireworks were all set up in advance. Zhou Zheng, Zhou Qin and Zhou Yihuai's two sons were standing downstairs, holding incense in their hands, waiting to light them.

"Aren't you going down to join in the fun?" Zhou Jun walked up to Zhou Yu and asked with a smile.

"Minato? Haha, wasn't last year's excitement enough?"

Zhou Jun put away his smile, remembering that they also set off fireworks last year, Zhou Zheng pulled Zhou Yu downstairs, and several people also held incense to light the fireworks. But for some reason, Zhou Qin's cotton robe was set on fire. Although it was just a little spark, Zhou Qin was still scared and yelled and beat the fire.

Everyone said that it was ordered by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yiheng was very unhappy and asked if it was ordered by Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu did not say a word.

At that time, he was standing upstairs and did not go downstairs, let alone go to the window to look. It was his mother who came over and told him to go downstairs to help Zhou Yu out.

Zhou Jun realized what had happened and went downstairs and said that there were many people here today and he was afraid that someone had accidentally ordered the fire. He was standing upstairs and didn't see that it was his second brother who ordered the fire.

After hearing what Zhou Jun said, Zhou Yiheng waved his hand and scolded Zhou Yu with a stern face. Hu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying that it was New Year's Day and there would always be times when you were careless, so don't disturb everyone's fun.

I still remember that Zhou Yu just stood there, without saying a word to defend himself, just standing there stubbornly. Everyone went upstairs, but he was still standing there, so I had to go up and pull him upstairs.

Thinking about all these years, he had seen his uncle and Zhou Yu get angry. At first, Zhou Yu would defend him and cry out that he was innocent. He didn't know when he stopped saying such things. He just let Zhou Yiheng say whatever he wanted. Even if he raised the whip, he wouldn't say a word for himself.

Once, I was beaten by my uncle and lay on the bed for a long time. I went to see him and asked him why he did this. Couldn’t I just say a few nice words to him?

Zhou Yu closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and said only one sentence, "It's useless."

Zhou Jun patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, we are no longer at the age where we like to join in the fun."

Zhou Yu turned his head and glanced at Zhou Jun, "Brother Jun, I'm sorry to trouble you with that matter."

Zhou Jun smiled slightly, "What's the big deal? Just don't worry."

Flames rose and everyone exclaimed in amazement. Meng Wan felt someone approaching and a warm current enveloped her. She knew it was Zhou Yu without looking back. Her ears were covered and her two hands were so warm.
