evil tiger marries husband

Compared with Zhang's mansion, which covers a vast area, Meng's mansion is much smaller. It is an ordinary three-entry house. The east end of the house is a large garden, which is called "Baihe Township", and the west end is the West Wing Courtyard. The small wing rooms, of which three couplets are the main house: the central part is: Jing'an Hall; the eastern part is called Ning'anju; the western part is called Bao'an Pavilion, which are connected by verandas and form a "concave" shape in the courtyard.

When Meng Cuiqiao bought a house, he did not expect many people to live in it today. The Meng Mansion is actually not bigger than the old houses in the western suburbs, but it is better than an attic, mostly on the second to third floors, with many rooms and enough people to live in. Naturally there will be more.

Meng Cuiqiao ordered Shui Yun and Shui Zhi to go to the Meng Mansion first to see if there was any damage from giant floods there. After the second servant girl returned and said that the Meng Mansion was safe and sound, in the afternoon of the same day, everyone in the Zhang Mansion packed up their belongings and brought the whole family together. Moving over, it was already late when we arrived.

Meng Cuiqiao employs four people to guard the mansion. They are Uncle Cen, Sister-in-law Cen and his wife, and brothers Tan Zhaosheng and Tan Zhaoshun. The four of them clean the house on weekdays.

After dinner, Zhang's mother and daughter, Meng Cuiqiao, Meng Lianpeng, Wen Yufu and all the family members were all talking in the main hall.

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said: "The house is quite small. My mother-in-law lives on the first floor of the main house, and sister Axiu lives on the second floor. I live in the west wing courtyard with Tiger, Lian'er, Fu'er, and Mr. Bai."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "I see the plaque on the door of the main room is 'Meng Baihe'. I heard from Tiger that it is your favorite plaque. It must be your room. You still live in the main room. I will go with Axiu Live in the West Wing."

Meng Cuiqiao laughed and said: "Mother-in-law is above, there is no reason for a daughter-in-law to live in the main house, but let the mother-in-law live in the side room."

Mrs. Zhang refused, so she agreed, and then sighed: "Even Wen's house was destroyed by Jiaolong. Fortunately, Xiaoqiaoer has a house, otherwise we would have to move back to the old house in the western suburbs. Not so many people."

Fu Gui smiled while serving tea: "Auntie Meng's house faces south, the Feng Shui is really good!"

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I can no longer call you Young Aunt Meng, but now I have to call you Young Madam."

Fugui hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, young lady!"

It turned out that as soon as Zhang Ehu received Zhengde's promise to grant Meng Cuiqiao a good residence status, there was little rain that afternoon, so he couldn't wait to go to the county government to change his household registration.Fortunately, Jujiao was only making trouble in the house behind the yamen, and the room in front of the clerk was not destroyed. The people in the government office knew that it was the emperor's will, so they dared not neglect it, and hurriedly found out "Zhong Zhuang"'s household registration and changed it to a good one.

Zhang Ehu didn't stop, and hurried to the Iceman's Mansion again, and changed Zhongzhuang's "concubine" status to "wife" in the marriage certificate.

Meng Cuiqiao was overjoyed at the thought that she was now Zhang Ehu's wife, and suddenly thought: "'Zhong Zhuang' has been dead for many years, and I'm just an impostor to replace her. Of course, 'Meng Cuiqiao''s household registration is a good one. , but it is a man, and Tiger and I are still not a real legal couple... Sigh, although he and I really love each other, it is so difficult to become a husband and wife..."

Just as he was thinking, Lu Jiu walked in from the outside and said with a smile: "Ma'am, the emperor sent a large number of gifts, saying that they are for the eldest and young lady."

Sure enough, eight people came in carrying four loads outside the door, and on each load were four to fifty brocade boxes, large and small.

Meng Cuiqiao rewarded them with a penny each, and ordered Ouhua and Ouye to send them out.

All the family members asked curiously: "I don't know what the emperor rewarded?"

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said, "Let's take it apart and have a look."

All the family members were in a hurry, and they opened the brocade box in a short while. The things inside made the whole family dumbfounded.

However, in addition to precious items such as jewelry, rouge powder, silk tea, delicacies and medicinal materials, calligraphy and paintings and antiques, there are also ceramic utensils, candle oil, whole grains, towels, cattail fans, and bamboo mats in the brocade box. These are still normal. In addition, there are pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, shoes and socks, clogs, tooth powder, pork belly, straw paper moon belt... strange and weird items emerge in endlessly!These things are piled up in a brocade box, tangled up in a ball, how can it be like a reward?It's like stolen goods from a robbery.

All the servants were dumbfounded, and said awkwardly: "The emperor is really the son of the dragon, he is more thoughtful than us, and the rewards are unpredictable..." At this moment, two young masters came in from the outside, and said with a smile: " Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are back!"

When the Zhang family moved at noon, Zhengde invited Zhang Ehu and Bai Yingyang to visit the northern suburb of "Dukang Villa", which was his residence in Meilong County, and he didn't let them leave until dark after dinner.

Meilong County has encountered a catastrophe, and the people in the county are now cleaning up the mess, and the evening night ban has also been temporarily lifted. The two walked back to the Meng Mansion, and saw that everyone was stunned in the main hall.

Bai Yingyang saw a lot of brocade boxes, and said with a smile: "The emperor said that he didn't bring any precious treasures with him when he went out, and he spent all his money, so he sent someone to credit the bosses of the major shops in the county and asked them to give away valuables. All the things are packed and given to the young lady, these many brocade boxes are all put together by the owners of various shops."

It was the first time that the family members heard that the emperor gave people things on credit as rewards, and they all fell down.

Bai Yingyang stretched his head to look at the things in the brocade box, couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiaoqiaoer, most of the shops were destroyed by the dragon, and the things were in a mess. As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, everyone rushed to pick them up and send them over." , I don’t have time to tidy up, so don’t be surprised.” After speaking, he leaned forward and back with a smile.

Meng Cuiqiao also found it interesting. He saw a brocade box filled with ghost masks, spinning tops, paper-cut figures, beautiful dolls and other small things. Seeing that Meng Lianpeng and some young maids and servants liked it very much, they took Come out and share with them.

Zhang Ehu took out a large exquisite brocade box from his arms, handed it to Meng Cuiqiao and said: "The emperor said that although he didn't bring any good treasures with him, he found a treasure a few months ago and gave it to you to play with."

All the family members asked together: "What treasure is it?"

Zhang Ehu said: "It's a white bead."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "Tiger has no experience, what kind of white beads, they are 'night pearls'."

All the family members had never heard of Ye Mingzhu, half of them said: "What is 'Ye Mingzhu'?" half of them said: "Quickly open it and have a look!"

Meng Cuiqiao opened the brocade box, but saw that there was a layer of yellow satin cushion inside the box, on which was supported a bead the size of a bowl, the whole body was milky white, the color was very good, but there was no beauty in it.

Wen Yufu asked, "What's so special about this bead?"

Zhang Ehu didn't know Ye Mingzhu's origin, so he said to Bai Yingyang: "You know, tell me quickly."

Bai Yingyang originally wanted to explain, but when Wen Yufu asked, he presumed that he forgot.

Meng Cuiqiao laughed and said, "It's better to see it with your own eyes than to tell it." He ordered the servant girl to turn off all the lights in the hall.

Now it was the second watch, once the lights went out, the hall was pitch black, only the beads in Meng Cuiqiao's hand shone faintly, crystal clear, like a small lantern, illuminating the surroundings quite brightly.

All the family members were amazed, and they all said: "Today I know that there is such a magical orb in the world!"

Zhang Xiuyuan liked it very much, looked at Ye Mingzhu and smiled, "If you put this Ye Mingzhu in the house, the night will be as bright as the day."

Zhang Ehu said: "Isn't it just a luminous bead, what's so rare, if you want to light it and light a candle, if you think wax is expensive, you can also light a few more oil lamps."

All the family members laughed when they heard this.

Zhang Xiuyuan said coquettishly, "Start the fire under the moon, and build the building with the mountain behind."

Zhang Ehu didn't know what she meant and scratched his head.

Meng Cuiqiao said with a smile: "We can light candles and oil lamps, so we don't need luminous pearls, but it is said that luminous pearls were originally used for lighting."

Meng Lianpeng asked curiously: "Someone really used it for lighting, who is it?"

Meng Cuiqiao said: "It is said that the Pearl of the Night was originally the property of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Crystal Palace where the Dragon King lived was built deep in the sea. These luminescent beads were found in a rare clamshell, brought back to the Crystal Palace, and inlaid on the beams of the house, and they were reflected brightly, and the Crystal Palace has been shining ever since.”

Meng Lianpeng clapped her hands and laughed, "Oh, Ye Mingzhu is the treasure of the Dragon King's family."

Meng Cuiqiao nodded and said: "Because it is the treasure of the Dragon King, the Ye Mingzhu is only produced in the deep seabed of the East China Sea. Some fishermen go out to sea to fish, and occasionally catch one, which is really a fortune." Looking at the Ye Mingzhu in his hand again, He said with a smile, "I used to have six night pearls, but they were not as big as a thumb, and they were useless. I know a friend who also has a steamed bun-sized one in his home. It is said to be invaluable. Now this one is as big as the mouth of a bowl. It is truly a priceless treasure!"

After Zhang Ehu heard the legend of the Dragon King, he began to look at this luminous pearl with admiration, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a priceless treasure, no wonder the emperor loves it so much."

Meng Cuiqiao said: "Since you cherish it so much, how can you give it to me?"

Zhang Ehu laughed and said: "The emperor asked his subordinates to go down and pay the store owners on credit, but they were laughed at by the little white sheep, saying that the store owners must pick out some bottom-of-the-box goods that are extremely expensive but can't be sold for a long time, good or bad It's uneven, and it's too shabby as a reward, the emperor was embarrassed to hear that, so he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find this luminous pearl."

The family members heard that the second young master dared to laugh at the emperor, even though he was a sworn brother, but the other party was the emperor after all, so it was really inappropriate to be so rude.

Mrs. Zhang blamed him even more: "The emperor gave you a reward, thank you for your kindness, how can you laugh at it, what a shame!"

Bai Yingyang pouted and said: "The emperor is not offended, why are you scolding me?"

Wen Yufu saw that his aunt wanted to train again, and persuaded: "The emperor has rewarded you all, and you can't return it."

Mrs. Zhang said: "That's all."

Bai Yingyang reprimanded her, already displeased, but after Wen Yufu said a word, she stopped scolding herself, and was even more unhappy, turned her face away and walked out.

Zhang Ehu didn't chase him, but said coldly: "If you run around again, I will lock you in the room."

Although Bai Yingyang bosses around Zhang Ehu on weekdays, he still has awe in his heart. Hearing his serious tone now, although he is still reluctant, he dare not disobey him. He has to withdraw his stepping foot, lower his head and pouted, standing still. Muttering by the door.

Seeing that the second young master lost his temper again, all the family members dispersed after whispering a few words, even Wen Yufu also resigned and left.

Zhang Xiuyuan walked over and said with a smile: "Little white sheep, I learned a new piece of music recently, can I play it to you?"

Bai Yingyang turned from anger to joy, took her little hand, happily followed her.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the backs of the two, shook her head and sighed, "This kid is really stubborn."

Zhang Ehu said: "Who told you to scold him, the emperor likes him and treats him very well, let's all sit together and tell jokes, it's just ridicule."

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said: "Although the emperor is sworn to you, he is the emperor after all. It's not a big deal if you talk to the little white sheep without restraint. When you are in front of the emperor, you can't be the same."

Zhang Ehu said: "Madam, you are nagging all day long, be careful that the little white sheep will get bored, and go to the capital with the emperor, and never come back."

Mrs. Zhang turned pale in shock, jumped up and said, "Little White Goat is going to the capital?"

Zhang Ehu laughed and said, "It's so frightening."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said to him, "Little White Goat is really going to the capital?"

Zhang Ehu smiled and said: "It is the emperor who likes him and invited him to go to Beijing and visit the Forbidden City."

Mrs. Zhang asked anxiously, "Little white sheep agreed?"

Zhang Ehu laughed and said, "Little White Goat really wanted to go, but he said he couldn't bear to stay home, so he didn't agree."

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, relieved, sat down again and sighed: "I saw that Fu'er was seriously ill before, so I thought about promising Axiu to him... I was just talking to Little White Sheep. I won't force it, but he is still angry, hey!"

Zhang Ehu stared and said: "Little Baiyang and Axiu's childhood sweetheart have been in love since childhood, and they have a marriage contract. You suddenly said that you want to give his fiancée to someone else, can he not be angry!" Cuiqiao said: "If anyone says that Xiaoqiao'er wants to marry someone else, I will fight him hard!"

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said, "There's nothing serious about your words."

Mrs. Zhang also regretted it, and sighed: "I was only worried about Fu'er at the beginning, and Qiu Hua mentioned this matter to me many times... Well, now that Fu'er is recovering, I'm not sure about this matter, so that's all. Tiger , since your eldest brother is married, I will prepare a wedding for Axiu and Xiaobaiyang in a few days."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said, "That sentence is right."

At that moment, Zhang Ehu, Meng Cuiqiao, Meng Lianpeng and several servants accompanied Mrs. Zhang back to the room, after saying goodbye, the three of them were about to leave when Mrs Zhang beckoned suddenly: "Tiger, wait a minute, I have something to say. "

Meng Cuiqiao knew that her mother-in-law wanted to talk to the tiger alone, so she took Lian'er and left first.

Mrs. Zhang saw the two had left, she pulled her son into the room and said, "Lian'er is lively and cute, she is clever and well-behaved, and she is very likable."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said: "Yes, he still claims to be a little tiger and wants to recognize me as his father."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "He has no father or mother since he was a child, so it's not surprising that he regards you as his father. He said he wanted to call me 'Grandma', I like it very much, and I want to recognize him as a grandson."

Zhang Ehu said happily: "That's great, I'll go back and tell him, and let him call you grandma tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Very good." After a pause, she said: "There is one more thing, you go back and tell Xiao Qiao'er that Lian'er is not young, she should avoid suspicion with Lian'er."

Zhang Ehu said: "The two of them are aunts and nephews, why avoid suspicion?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "I know they are aunts and nephews. It's true that Xiao Qiao'er loves Lian'er. It's just that in Fulin Hall today, with so many outsiders present, Xiao Qiao'er has been hugging him... If Lian'er is only five or six It doesn't matter how old you are, now it's almost ten years old, everyone sees it, and it's inevitable that they will gossip behind their backs..."

Zhang Ehu was silent for a long time before saying: "I will tell Xiao Qiao'er."
