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

After Menghong and Mengze went, Mengzhen played a set of sword skills in the yard, and then sat on the stone bench thinking.

Ah Qing brought the tea, and after his master drank it, he said, "Master, is it true that Wang Xiucai's stroke was related to that drink?"

Meng Zhen put down the teacup and said: "The wind and the horse have nothing to do with it. It's something wrong with his own body. What does it have to do with the wine?"

Ah Qing asked again: "But the master blamed the second young master, isn't the second young master innocent?"

"He's innocent." Meng Zhen stood up, the jujube tree beside him was bare, a crow landed on the top of the tree, with a sound of "Wow", kicked his legs, and the only dead leaf on the branch fell down. It fell on Mengzhen's shoulders.

"Knowing that people can't hold alcohol, they still let people drink. Now that something happened, I want to get myself out. There is no such good thing in the world. But he will learn a lot of wisdom, and he will have a better memory in the future."

"But..." Ah Qing still wanted to defend Meng Hong, but Meng Zhen had already walked away.Ah Qing thought, who doesn't drink a few cups of wine during the New Year's festival? Drunk, and took the wine away halfway.

Moreover, the wine had been warmed beforehand, and Wang Xiucai didn't drink much, so there shouldn't be any problem with drinking it. Besides, Wang's family left at noon yesterday, so they should have woken up at night, and what happened to Wang Xiucai this morning, what's the matter? It can't be blamed on the second young master...

How can the master not understand the things that a servant can understand...

Seeing her master enter the study, Ah Qing hurriedly chased after him. Meng Zhen already had a book in his hand. Seeing Ah Qing following in, he asked without raising his head, "What's the matter with you, is there anything else you want to say?"

Ah Qing scratched her head and said falteringly, "Master, Wang Xiucai had a stroke and lay down. Will the Wang family sue the second young master?"

"Why do you think so." Meng Zhen put down the book, and then he looked at the book boy who had been serving him all the time, "Wang Xiucai's stroke was caused by his own body, what's the matter with Meng Hong, what face do they have to sue Meng Hong." Besides, the life of the Wang family depends on Meng Qing, so there is no need to make trouble with their Meng family.

"But the master said that the second young master wants to pick himself out. There is no such good thing in the world. Doesn't this mean that the second young master has nothing to do with this matter?"

Ah Qing's face was red and her ears were red, she tried to argue with reason, as if she wanted to argue for Meng Hong's explanation.Meng Zhen didn't respond to his question, but instead asked: "I don't see that you still have the heart, but let's speak for Meng Hong."

Ah Qing hurriedly said: "Second young master is very kind, and he is kind to our servants. Ah Qing doesn't want anything to happen to him."

"Don't worry." Meng Zhen said, "Meng Hong will be fine. I drank that wine too. It was indeed not strong. Wang Xiucai didn't drink much. He should have woken up last night, but he happened this morning. , it should have nothing to do with the drinks. Kuang Menghong just toasted him with two glasses of wine, but he was not forced to pour him, so the Wang family told Menghong what to do."

"It's as long as the second young master is fine!" Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried, but thought, the old master also knew that Wang Xiucai's stroke had nothing to do with drinking, so why should he blame the second young master.

Meng Zhen doesn't blame Meng Hong, who doesn't drink two cups of wine at the banquet during the festival, but Meng Hong knows that Wang Xiucai can't drink, and deliberately asks people to drink, if something happens to someone afterwards, Meng Hong will There are a hundred mouths that can't speak clearly.

He just felt that Meng Hong should not intentionally make fun of others for his own selfishness.People are not sages, who has no flaws, Wang Xiucai relies on Meng Qing, asks Meng Qing for anything, it has nothing to do with him, Meng Hong, Meng Hong should not intervene.

Meng really thought for a while, then buried himself in the book.It was not until evening that Meng Hong and Meng Ze came back from Wang Xiucai's house.

"What happened to Wang Xiucai?" Meng Zhen couldn't wait to ask the two of them as soon as they entered the door.

Mengze put down the medicine box and shook his head: "It's not good." Wang Xiucai had a cerebral infarction stroke, his body was paralyzed, and he couldn't speak fully while lying on the bed.He gave Wang Xiucai an injection for a day, but he didn't see any miraculous effect, and he had to go to Wang's house for at least half a month.Moreover, even if Wang Xiucai recovers and can walk around in the future, it may be difficult to restore her original appearance.

The most important point of cerebral infarction stroke is that the intelligence will be affected. The brain of the patient will not be as flexible as before, often accompanied by unfavorable symptoms such as slow response and memory loss.In the future, Wang Xiucai may not be able to advance to a higher level in the scientific examination, and his road to fame may only stop here.

Mengze told his father about the situation that Wang Xiucai might face at present and in the future. After hearing this, Mengzhen was surprisingly calm. There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Who can predict what their tomorrow will be like.

Before, Deng Yuming fell to his death, and later, Wang Xiucai suffered a stroke. They all happened around him. Meng Zhen knew that life, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world. Apart from feeling sorry for them, he had nothing to hold back.

"I won't tell your sister-in-law about this beforehand." Meng Zhen said to the two sons in front of him.

"En." Mengze responded very quickly, but Menghong didn't say a word.In fact, from the time the two of them stepped into the door, Meng Zhen noticed that Meng Hong had a gloomy face and a preoccupied look, so he knew that Meng Hong was disturbed by Wang Xiucai, and he might also have guilt.

Meng Hong really felt guilty.Today at Wang Xiucai's house, Mengze gave Wang Xiucai an injection, and he watched from the sidelines. Suddenly, a well-behaved person lay on the bed unable to move, unable to speak well, and even couldn't recognize the person in front of him.

When Meng Hong saw it, he couldn't bear it, and felt that Wang Xiucai was very pitiful.Although he knew that Wang Xiucai's stroke had nothing to do with the drinks he toasted, he still couldn't help but think about it. If he didn't let Wang Xiucai drink yesterday and Wang Xiucai had a stroke this morning, it would have nothing to do with him. You won't feel guilty, at least you don't have to worry as much as you do now.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty." When Meng Zhen's words sounded in his ears, Meng Hong looked up at his father and forced a smile. Even though he said that, he couldn't let go.

At the beginning, all he wanted was to make Wang Xiucai drink more wine, to see him feel uncomfortable, and he didn't want to be self-defeating. Now that Wang Xiucai has become like this, and the Wang family has no source of income, the burden now falls entirely on his elder brother's shoulders.

In the end, it was his elder brother who was suffering, so why bother, Meng Hong thought.

"Your father, I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze." Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Meng Zhen kicked him.

"Hey, Dad, if you have something to say, what are you doing?" Meng Hong jumped two steps away, and finally a smile spread on his face, "Understood, Dad, don't tell sister-in-law about this in advance, and I will wait until someone is confinement." Find a chance to tell her that the eldest brother must have returned by then, so let the eldest brother talk. As for guilt or something..."

Speaking of this, Meng Hong paused, his face was no longer listless, and he returned to his former Yiyi, still showing a guilty look, "What does Wang Xiucai's stroke have to do with me? What should I feel guilty about? I'm not guilty." Well." Up to now, he can only let go of himself in this way, the guilt is only temporary, how can he be guilty all the time, otherwise he will not be depressed to death.Besides, Wang Xiucai's stroke had nothing to do with him at all, he just pityed him for a while, and then he felt a little guilty, so he was sincere.

"It's good that you can think like this." Meng Zhen said from the side.

"En." Meng Hong responded.He originally thought that his father would teach him a lesson, but he didn't want to but comfort him.Sure enough, knowing a son is better than a father, and his father still cares about him.

In the next few days, Mengze went to Wang's house early in the morning to give Wang Xiucai an injection, while Menghong stayed at home to take care of his sister-in-law, two young brothers, and his old father, and occasionally went to the county shop. Looking inside, Wang Xiucai didn't mention the stroke at all, and lived in peace for more than ten days.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather was fine and the clouds were flat, but it was still early spring. Although the sun was hanging in the sky, there was wind and the weather was still a bit cold.

After lunch, Meng Hong stepped into his father's room, held a letter in his hand, and said happily: "Father, brother's letter, it said that brother has left Jiangnan. be back before."

"That's good!" Meng Zhen put down the book in his hand, got up and came out of the room, although the sun in the sky is not so warm, it can still make people feel a bit of warmth when it shines on people.

"Then I'll go and tell my sister-in-law." Meng Hong came out after him, and already put away the elder brother's letter and kicked it into his sleeve pocket.

"Let's go, there is nothing left and right now, Dad will go there with you, just to see how Sui Sui is doing."

When the father and son came to Wang Xinyu's room, Wang Xinyu happened to be taking a nap with his arms around the child.Wang Xinyu has always been a light sleeper, and when she heard footsteps, she woke up before anyone entered the room.Originally, Meng Hong was about to leave when he saw that the man was asleep, but suddenly he heard his sister-in-law calling them, so he and his father went into the man's room.

Wang Xinyu put on some clothes and came to the outside room, saw the two of them, hurriedly asked: "Father, second brother, why are you here, but what's the matter?" On weekdays, except for Meng Hong, Meng Zhen usually didn't come to her place, Seeing his father here today, I can't help being a little surprised.

Meng Hong took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to her, while telling her that his elder brother would be returning home in a few days, Wang Xinyu couldn't help but feel hopeful when he heard it.

Just at this moment, Suisui who was asleep in the inner room cried out, she hurried in and picked up the child, and carried the child outside to Mengzhen's hands.

Mengzhen hugged the child, saw the little guy with round eyes open, neither crying nor fussing, just lying quietly in the swaddle, couldn't help but love this child more.It's also strange to say that when Meng Yuan was so young, Meng Zhen didn't hug him very much, mainly because he thought it was annoying for children to cry.

When Suisui came here, although Mengzhen didn't come to see the child very often, but every time he picked it up, he always couldn't put it down. This child is so obedient, he doesn't cry very much, Mengzhen's ears are clean, hugging him I don't feel irritable when I look at it, but because it's been a generation, I feel close.

Over there, Meng Hong and Wang Xinyu said a few words, the child burst into tears, Wang Xinyu took the child from Meng Zhen's arms, said that the child was hungry and it was time to feed, the father and son didn't stay any longer, and came from the hut Came out and left.

As soon as he returned to the gate of Mengzhen Courtyard, he saw Mengze walking over with a medicine box on his back from a distance.On weekdays, Mengze came back from Wang Xiucai's house around dark, why did he come back so early today.

"San'er, why did you come back so early today? How is Uncle Wang?" Meng Hong asked.

Mengze came over and said, "It's not good. I managed to get out of bed and walk around today, but one of them accidentally fell down again, and now I can't move at all."

Ah, Meng Hong and Meng Zhen looked at each other, they didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

"Let's go, let's talk in the house." Meng Zhen said something, and the father and son entered Meng Zhen's room together.
