Sister Chunxiang is a daughter of the Marquis's family. Before redeeming herself, she had been working in the Marquis's family and had served the old lady. However, she was not a maid, but a second-class maid. This qualification may not seem very good, but it is enough for Sister Chunxiang to move freely in the inner courtyard of the Marquis's family. Whenever the Marquis's family has a banquet or other activities, and recruits maids temporarily, Sister Chunxiang must be there. Chen Guanlou did not know about the relatives and friends of the Marquis's family, but Sister Chunxiang must know. All the relatives and friends who come to visit must greet the old lady after visiting. Sister Chunxiang thought about it carefully and shook her head, "There is no relative surnamed Meng in the Marquis's family, at least I don't know of any surnamed Meng. If you want to know the exact information, find Chen Guanxiang. He works in the Marquis's family and is a doorman. He knows all the relatives and friends who have contact with the Marquis's family." With the guidance of Sister Chunxiang, Chen Guanlou asked someone to contact his cousin Chen Guanxiang and invite him to Guanmeilou for a drink. In fact, the two are about the same age, Chen Guanxiang is only half a year older than Chen Guanlou. But the two are not familiar with each other. Except for the two years of clan school, they basically have no contact. However, they both have the surname Chen. Although they don’t usually contact each other, Chen Guanxiang still keeps the appointment on time after the middleman brings a message. This is the advantage of being of the same clan. Whether they are close or not, they all have the surname Chen, so helping each other is nothing. Of course, the key to Chen Guanxiang’s appointment is that Chen Guanlou is rich. The clan’s evaluation of Chen Guanlou is: This kid has made a fortune and has also clung to the thigh of the master. Among the younger generation, except for the group of Chen children who joined the army, Chen Guanlou is the most capable. Prison guards are lowly?
Haha! Being able to do a lowly job and achieve some results and bring a lot of money home is not called lowly, but capable. Chen Guanxiang wanted to take a close look at what the capable Chen Guanlou was like. Obviously, when he was studying, Chen Guanlou was a disgusting stick. How come he has become a capable guy after not seeing each other for several years? The two met in Guanmei Building, and vaguely saw the appearance of their youth on each other's face. "Hahaha..." Almost in unison, the two laughed out loud, "You kid, you have changed a lot!" "Brother Xiang is getting more and more handsome, I don't know how many girls can't sleep for you in the middle of the night." "Same here! I've heard that you are a frequent visitor to the red street, and I'm afraid that the girls in the brothel have been seduced by you." The two joked with each other, and the strangeness when they first met disappeared in an instant, like old friends who have known each other for many years. After a few glasses of wine, they became good brothers who talked about everything. Chen Guanlou was willing to praise him. Chen Guanxiang was so arrogant that he knew all the nobles in the capital, except for receiving the old emperor. After bragging about it, Chen Guanlou talked about business. "I have two prisoners under my command, who said they were relatives of the Marquis' Mansion in a roundabout way. After asking around, they all said they didn't know each other. I thought that there was no friend or relative of the Marquis' Mansion that you, Brother Xiang, didn't know, so I asked. If they were really relatives, it would be natural to take care of them. If the other party was deceiving me under the guise of relatives, then I would definitely not be polite, and would first give them a three-axe blow and break their legs and feet." "You really found the right person. As long as they are relatives and friends of the Marquis' Mansion, there is no one I don't know." "The surname is Meng, two brothers. Brother Xiang, do you have any impression?" Chen Guanxiang frowned and thought deeply, "Are you sure the surname is Meng?" Chen Guanlou nodded, "Definitely the surname is Meng." "There is a military general named Meng who once came to the Marquis' Mansion to give gifts. However, as far as I know, this General Meng is now serving in the south and is very close to the eldest young master. Others named Meng... Wait, there is another family named Meng, but they are not relatives of the Marquis' Mansion, but relatives of the second young lady's mother's family." Sure enough, I found the right way. Chen Guanlou filled the other party's empty glass with wine, "Brother Xiang, tell me, what's going on with the Meng family, did they offend someone?" "I really heard about this, and it sounds good. There are some disgusting things in it."
"It's still early. Brother Xiang, tell me quickly, just in time to kill today." Chen Guanlou held it. Chen Guanxiang started talking about the matter. The second young lady's maiden name is Wang, and the Wang family has a relative named Zhao. The most promising one in the Zhao family is the second house, which has many descendants, with a total of six sons. The first three sons were born to the original wife, and the last three sons were born to concubines. But the most promising one is the fourth son born to the concubine who has always been ignored. The fourth son is capable, and after getting the job, he was promoted all the way. So, the Zhao family arranged a marriage for him, the niece of the original wife's maiden family, or a legitimate one. It's more than enough for a legitimate one to marry a concubine's. I forgot to mention that the original wife's maiden name is Meng. But Zhao Laosi was not happy! He hated his stepmother so much that he certainly did not want to marry her niece. However, Mr. Zhao forced him to marry the daughter of the Meng family, and not marrying her would be unfilial. For the sake of his future, Zhao Laosi had to accept the marriage with a pinch of his nose. He got his job thanks to the Wang family, and the Wang family was a relative of the Marquis's Mansion. The Wang family and the Meng family had also had contacts in the early years. Anyway, they were just in the same circle. It's just that the Meng family was the first to fall, and now it is not as good as before, and can only rely on the name left by their ancestors to keep up their face. After getting married, life was not easy, and it can be said that they were tired of each other. But Zhao Laosi's official position became higher and higher, and he had surpassed Zhao Laoda, who inherited the family business. Every time he saw his stepmother and his wife, he felt more and more unfair in his heart, and a bad breath grew. He relied on his full wings to run to the Meng family to disgust people. How disgusting, he directly robbed his father-in-law's concubine and entered the bridal chamber that night. How could the Meng family swallow such humiliation by their son-in-law? Although it happened more than ten or twenty years ago, many old people in Beijing still remember this joke. The Meng family lost face and became mortal enemies with Zhao Laosi. The Zhao family wanted to make peace, but Zhao Laosi was unruly and refused to bow his head. He also moved out of his home and lived alone in a mansion with his concubine. The situation was deadlocked until a year ago when the deadlock was completely broken. The Meng family suffered! Zhao Laosi was successful in his career and climbed up the Jiangtu. The concubine he robbed was called Hua Niang, and Zhao Laosi doted on her. She also gave birth to a son for Zhao Laosi. However, for so many years, she could not enter the Zhao family, and her son could not be included in the Zhao family tree. Hua Niang hated Zhao Laosi's original wife Meng, and hated her to the bone. In her opinion, it was Meng's obstruction that her son could not be included in the family tree. He has been an illegitimate child until now, and people dislike him when he goes out. The happiest person when the Meng family suffered was her. The grievances over the years have turned Hua Niang into a pervert. She forced Zhao Laosi to clean up the Meng family, especially the brothers from Meng's natal family. Because of her son, he was humiliated by the brothers of the Meng family. She wanted to retaliate twice as much.
With Jiangtu behind him, Zhao Laosi could easily clean up the Meng family. In order to please his concubine, he ignored his father's dissuasion, ignored his stepmother's face, ignored the feelings of his stepwife and son, and took the opportunity to capture the two brothers of the Meng family, and used his connections to put them in the imperial prison, and tortured them to death. To this day, the Meng family still doesn't know what the two brothers suffered in the imperial prison. They just regarded it as a general punishment, and as long as they are still alive, there is hope.
