On the second day, Meng Tian did not go to the forbidden military camp to report, because after separating from Ying Zheng last night, Ying Zheng allowed him to rest at home for a day today to settle the matter of Lu Buwei. Meng Tian took Zi Yanran and continued to have breakfast with his father and mother, and at the dinner table, Meng Tian's family talked about Lu Buwei's intention to send a woman to him as a concubine.

After listening to Meng Tian's words, the biggest reaction was of course Zi Yanran, although she had not officially married Meng Tian, she had already been husband and wife, and her wedding with Meng Tian was already being prepared, how could she tolerate another woman coming to share her husband with her. Zi Yanran knows Meng Tian's difficulties, Lu Buwei, as the current Prime Minister of the Qin State, covers the sky in the Qin State with one hand, although the Meng family and the Wang family are in the same breath, and they have military power in their hands, but they still have to give this Xiangguo Lord some face on the surface.

Meng Wu put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Since it was Lu Buwei who opened the mouth himself, it is really difficult for us to refuse, this is not the time to turn against Lu Buwei." Last night, when the king told you that when Lu Buwei came to my Meng house today, did he tell you how to deal with it?"

Meng Tian thought for a moment what Ying Zheng had said to him last night, shook his head and said, "Last night, the king didn't tell me what to do, and he didn't say what he meant. Second brother, you spend the most time with the king, can you figure out what the king means?"

Meng Yi saw that the eldest brother asked about himself, thought for a while, and said: "I think the king's meaning should be that he doesn't want the eldest brother to accept Lu Buwei's concubine, although this method is not only in my Qin State, but also in other princes, it is also a very common exchange of interests between princes and nobles. It's just that in this way, my eldest brother will definitely be blackmailed by Lu Buwei in the future, and the eldest brother is now the commander in charge of the security in the palace, this position is very special and sensitive, and Lu Buwei may not be here for the right of the eldest brother. ”

Meng Wu also said to Meng Tian: "Tian'er, what Yi'er said is reasonable, now that you are the commander of the palace forbidden army, and at the same time a lieutenant, whether it is power or position, it is no worse than Lu Buwei, I think Lu Buwei values your identity and official position, if he can pull you into his command, his strength will definitely rise a lot." ”

Meng Tian just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by his mother: "Okay, you father and son are all thinking about things above the court, have you considered Yanran's feelings, now Yanran is the most hurt person, she is about to marry Tian'er, and now she is stuffed by outsiders with a woman to her husband, and this woman's own husband must also accept it, I hope you can also take care of Yanran's mood." ”

"Mother, don't say it, if it is because I let the Meng family and Meng Tian be suppressed and excluded by Lu Xiangguo, then it is really my daughter-in-law's fault, I'm fine, Meng Tian, you don't have to worry about me, because I know that you only have me in your heart. Zi Yanran's eyes were red, and she looked at Meng Tian and said.

Meng Tian stretched out his hand and held one of Zi Yanran's hands tightly, "Yanran, don't worry, I promised Uncle Zi that I won't let you be wronged in the slightest." ”

Zi Yanran looked at Meng Tian and looked at her, which was full of tenderness and pampering, nodded at Meng Tian, and snorted.

Meng Wu said to his daughter-in-law: "Yanran, although my Meng family is not afraid of Lu Buwei's oppression, but Lu Buwei is still the Xiangguo of Qin in the end, and he is now the father of King Qin, so we still have to obey Lu Buwei until the last moment, so we can only wronged you for the time being, I hope you don't blame your father's choice." ”

Zi Yanran got Meng Tian's promise, so she was no longer worried, and said to Meng Wu: "What is my father talking about, my daughter-in-law joins the Meng family, naturally everything must be for the sake of the Meng family, this is what my father said to me the most before leaving." ”

Meng Wu was very satisfied that his daughter-in-law knew the general situation so well, and said, "Okay, then it's decided." Yi'er, you wait to go to the palace to meet the king, and tell the king about our decision. Wait a minute, I will send a letter to my father, let him go home as soon as possible, and when he comes home, we will hold a wedding for the two of you, so that you can officially become husband and wife. ”

After eating, neither Meng Wu nor Meng Tian went out, but quietly waited at home for Lu Buwei's arrival.

It wasn't until noon that the subordinates of the Mongolian Mansion came in to report that Lord Xiangguo's chariot had arrived outside the door, and Meng Wu and Meng Tian got up and went out to greet them. The father and son went out of the door, and Lu Buwei also walked down from the chariot with the support of his entourage, and at the same time there was a woman who followed Lu Buwei out of the car, but this woman covered her face with a silk scarf, but Meng Tian still recognized it at a glance as the woman named Jiajia who was drunk in Xiangyu the night before.

Meng Wu and Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward to greet Lu Buwei: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Xiangguo. ”

Lü Buwei helped Meng Wu up with both hands and said: "General Meng doesn't need to be polite, the prime minister came uninvited this time, I hope General Meng and the major general will not be surprised." ”

Meng Wu smiled and said to Lu Buwei: "How dare you, Lord Xiangguo is willing to come to my Meng family as a guest, it is really an honor for the last general, Lord Xiangguo, please." After speaking, Meng Wu led the way and led Lu Buwei into the mansion. Meng Tian and that Jiajia followed behind Lu Buwei, and Meng Tian never looked at her since he saw Jiajia get out of the car.

When he arrived at the lobby of the Mengfu, Meng Wu beckoned Lü Buwei to sit down on the main seat in the hall, and then sat next to him, and at the same time beckoned his subordinates to come up and serve tea. Meng Tian and Jiajia sat opposite each other, compared to Meng Tian's cold eyes, Jiajia kept her head down, neither looking at Meng Tian nor looking at her master.

Two maids came in with tea, Meng Tian saw that one of them was Zi Yanran, she was wearing the clothes of a maid, walking behind the maid in front of her with tea, and when the maid in front of her went up to serve tea to Lu Buwei and Meng Wu, Zi Yanran walked in front of Meng Tian and put the tea in front of Meng Tian. Meng Tian has been staring at Zi Yanran since she came in, Zi Yanran didn't care about Meng Tian's gaze, she continued to walk in front of Jiajia generously, and after putting down the tea, Zi Yanran also took a special look at this woman who was going to share her man in the future, and at first glance, she felt that this woman was also very beautiful, and she was even a little inferior to her.

Jiajia sat on the seat but didn't notice the maid who was observing herself, of course she didn't know that the maid who served her tea in front of her was her future mother, his attention was on Meng Tian's body, seeing that Meng Tian kept looking at herself, thinking that Meng Tian was really looking at herself, but she didn't know that Meng Tian was just looking at Zi Yan.

Zi Yanran and the maid who served the tea put down the tea and walked out of the lobby, Zi Yanran even threw a wink at Meng Tian before going out, which made Meng Tian unaware of the clouds, and felt that this was not like Zi Yanran's style of doing things.

Above the lobby, Lu Buwei took a sip of tea and said: "Good tea, I didn't expect that there is such a delicious tea in General Meng's mansion, which is much better than the golden needle and white fungus in the prime minister's mansion." ”

Meng Wu smiled and replied: "Xiangye has won the prize, this kind of tea is purchased in the northern Xinjiang Fushi City some time ago, this kind of tea is not better than the tea in the land of Chu in the rain environment grows, it is blown by wind, frost, rain and snow in the north, growing from the high mountains, only picking dozens of catties every year, so this kind of tea is only available in the northern Xinjiang, and the last general is also by chance to drink the tea made of this kind of tea, I think it is very delicious, so I bought some. If you like it, you will give it to Xiangye at the end. ”

Lu Buwei laughed and said, "It's disrespectful to be like this." Since General Meng talked about the tea of Chu State, he thinks that the women of Chu State are also relatively good, and they are more gentle and virtuous than the women of our Qin State, I don't know what General Meng thinks?"

Lü Buwei turned the topic to the woman, Meng Wu looked at Meng Tian, and Meng Tian also looked at him, knowing in his heart that this was the main purpose of Lü Buwei's coming. Meng Wu snorted a haha: "Xiangye is right, the women of Chu are indeed more docile than the women of my Qin country, but the women of my Qin country have a strong temperament, and they can not only teach their husbands and children at home, but also gallop on horseback, so the last general feels that the women in these two places have their own styles and cannot be compared." ”

"General Meng is right, and he thinks so too. After Lu Buwei finished speaking, he pointed to Jiajia below, "This woman is a native of Chu State, her parents died many years ago, and she was adopted by Benxiang when she was doing business in Chu State, and then raised her to grow up, saying that she is an adopted daughter, and Benxiang dares to say that she treats her better than her own daughter." Now that the little girl has reached adulthood, Benxiang intends to choose a heroic boy to marry her in Qin. ”

Meng Wu knew Lu Buwei's plan in his heart, and asked knowingly: "Then I don't know if Xiangye has a suitable candidate in his heart?"

Lü Buwei looked at Meng Tian, "Let me ask what man in the Qin Kingdom today besides the current king, who can compare to General Meng Shao? ”
