Chapter 245: Visitors

Mrs. Meng sighed secretly, if a person is sick, subconsciously he has to find someone close to him on weekdays, but this Meng Xiaofu ∫has not been a time to make up for the difficult recipe of the yellow partridge. What about the star Ω hat and finch to become rich, and the stock is rui, and the emperor is very rich?

If Miss's personal maid suddenly disappears, then there is only one possibility, she knows too much about Miss, as for what, it is obvious now, in retrospect, it seems that the orange maid and Xiaofu are also very well-behaved, I don't want the average lady and the personal maid, not only never frolic and laugh together, it seems that the whisper is rarely said, Xiaofu looked at the maid several times with a very cold look, but the orange is very respectful.

Originally, she was also worried that someone would make a fuss about the disappearance of this maid, but now that she thinks about it, no one will track it down, but if it is really related to Xiaofu, this concubine is really ruthless, will this illness also be faked?

The more Mrs. Meng thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't dare to think about it, so she whispered to Mama Qing, "Tell Mother SΓΉping, if Xiaofu doesn't take the initiative to ask, don't mention it, in case Xiaofu asks, just say it...... She thought that Xiaofu sent this maid out, and then Xiaofu was sick, and the people in the house turned over on their backs, so they didn't bother to ask, and the rest of the words let her answer smartly, and think of a way to let the maids and mothers-in-law in Xiaofu's yard not discuss this matter. ”

Mama Qing was shocked in her heart, did Madame suspect that the second lady had done to her personal maid? Another person disappeared from the courtyard of the second group for no reason, who would be next?

The maid fan hurried over. After saluting, he said, "Madam, Mrs. Quan Si is here." ”

Mrs. Meng frowned, after Xiaofu and the prince Ding's family affairs were publicized, Mrs. Quan Si never came to the door again, she was also very upset at that time, so she didn't take care of it, reasoning, this matter is considered a loss of the Meng family, in the eyes of outsiders, the Meng family takes the right family as a backup. Once you climb another high branch, you will leave the power behind. Let the Quan family suffer a dumb loss, others can say that Mrs. Quan Si is the most innocent in this incident, especially Quan Zhenwu is not in the same room with her. There will definitely be a lot of complaints.

Now Mrs. Kwon Si suddenly came to the door. For what exactly?

Mrs. Meng couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. instructed Fan'er: "Please ask Mrs. Quan to go to the Little Flower Hall, I will be there immediately." ”

Fan Er received the order and hurried away.

Mrs. Meng went back to the room to tidy up her makeup and change her clothes a little, and then went to see Mrs. Quan.

Mrs. Kwon Si wore a pale rose-colored satin dress. The corners are embroidered with delicate flowers, and there is a hollow gold hairpin with pearls at the top of the hair bun on the head, dressed as before, not gorgeous, but properly matched, but the makeup on the face seems to be heavier, and there is a faint blue and black under the eyes that cannot be covered by fat powder.

It seems that Mrs. Quan Si is not very good, Mrs. Meng greeted Mrs. Quan Si with a smile, and at the same time instructed the maid to change into hot tea and snacks, secretly vigilant in her heart, she will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Mrs. Quan Si must have something to ask for at this time, but there have been many situations in her own house recently, and she really has no time to take care of other things.

Mrs. Quan Si was also secretly looking at Mrs. Meng, only to see that Mrs. Meng was wearing a smoky blue dress, covered with a thin gold silk smoky green veil, two coral orchid hairpins inserted in her temples, a round pearl necklace around her neck, and a white jade bracelet on her arm.

It is also obvious to cover up anything, the wife is expensive by her husband, General Meng was demoted by three levels as a small city patrol envoy, the recent situation of the Meng family is not as good as before, everyone knows this, even if there is a family affair that looks at the dignitary, it is difficult to hide the information that the Meng family is about to decline.

Ding Wang Ye is the power of the government and the opposition, but no one is optimistic about this family business, they all feel that Ding Wang Ye at first wanted to win over General Meng, anyway, he has such a reputation as a wife, it is not easy to marry a wife who has both ability and integrity, and the girl who is really valued by the family will definitely not marry, and he will not want to be pushed out as a gift by the family, and he will not want it, rather than this, it is better to directly find a Yue family that is beneficial to himself, as for the girl herself, it will be passable, if General Meng is not demoted by three levels, this family business looks like the Meng family is high, but it is very appropriate to think about it。

But the family affair just came out, General Meng was demoted to three levels immediately afterward, which has to be intriguing, General Meng said that the charges on his face were not big, and he said that he was small, and if the ability of the prince was to help Zhou Xuan, it would never be so, even if the charges were difficult to get rid of, if the official had to be demoted to three levels, he would also be demoted to the area where the rogue was rampant and conflicting, these local civil officials were afraid, but there were many opportunities for military generals to make meritorious contributions, and it was easy to rise back, isn't this the case with the Shao family?

Now this is simply the road to the promotion of General Meng, there is no opportunity for meritorious service in this kind of position to patrol the city, but it is easy to offend many people, newly transferred people generally have to stay up for a few years before they can move, and after a few years, General Meng is gradually aging, as a military general, once he has passed the age of 50, there is no achievement, and there is no need to say it in the future.

These things are the result of the fourth wife of the right relying on her daily connections and inquiring about it in many ways, and the knowledgeable men of the right family also think so, ** do not leave ten, they all think that the prince does not pay too much attention to General Meng, or that General Meng himself was too high earlier, and did not take the prince of Ding seriously, which angered him, so he did not maintain it, as for this family business, it is just a woman, marry it, marry it, and put it aside if it is not good to marry back, and it will not hinder anything.

In such a situation now, Mrs. Meng's complexion also proves everyone's guesses from the side, but what can be done about this now? Mrs. Quan Si's expression couldn't help but become entangled, and she barely said a few words about the scene, but she was not as calm and clever as before, and she looked a little anxious.

Mrs. Meng had a lot of things to do now, and she didn't have the patience to take her time, so she simply asked directly, "Is there anything wrong with my brother and sister?"

Mrs. Quan's face changed, but she still reluctantly said: "It's nothing important, just come and have a look, I heard that the second lady of your mansion is sick, come to visit." ”

"It's just that I occasionally feel cold, and the old man is a little nervous, also because of that family business...... It's all right now, eh! It's just a little girl, and now the whole house shakes when she sneezes. Madame Monte's tone was light-hearted and a little impatient.

Because the fourth wife of the right refused to tell her clearly, Mrs. Meng also understated a little, and covered up her true feelings, deliberately showing a little disdain, Ding Wang Ye came to the house to hide from people, some things are hidden from outsiders, there will only be a lot of speculation, she just forbade the people in the house to chew the root of the tongue, and pressed down the matter of staying in the palace for a few days, and declared that the prince came to visit several times a day, except for a few people in the inner house, the rest of the people did not know the details, so they regarded it as a nervous little blessing for the prince Ding, and brought the imperial doctor to visit, and now the outsiders have come to say that they are exaggerating and raising themselves, and it is impossible for the prince to attach so much importance to a little concubine, but a little politely came over to ask questions, and their family went on the pole.

Saying this, Mrs. Quan Si took over the topic and said, "I can't say that, I heard that Lord Ding has also come in person, so it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this family business." ”

Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "Lord Ding has always been benevolent and righteous, even if it is not Xiaofu today but other girls who are married to him, he must be like this, outsiders don't know nonsense, don't laugh at my brother and sister, now I have nothing to do except help the girl prepare the dowry." ”

"Sister, is there anything else missing in this dowry? Do you want me to help? The third uncle's family is a businessman, and there are some rare things that others can't find, but we still have some methods. Mrs. Kwon looked enthusiastic.

Help, this is going to bleed, Mrs. Meng's heart moved, and then said: "The palace is dignified, there is nothing, the family of military generals is not a civil official, so you don't need to be too particular, besides, our lord has recently ...... The concubine is filling the house again, so don't be too public, give more money to the bottom of the box, it is better than anything else. ”

Mrs. Quan said seriously: "Sister, this matter can't be sloppy, after all, with the power of the prince, we can't be lazy, we must prepare well." ”

Mrs. Meng replied casually: "This is not my final say, I have to listen to our master, our lord was demoted by the official by three levels, a little uneasy, for fear that something will go wrong, if you prepare a large dowry for your daughter, spread it out for fear that someone will gossip, not that I cry poor, now the situation of the Meng family, it is really difficult to prepare a dowry for my daughter that is enough to match the identity of the king, rather than slapping a swollen face and becoming fat and causing criticism, it is better to do what you can, what to do."

"It can't be too shabby. Mrs. Quan Si rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Sister didn't think about putting the second lady in her name? ”

"I haven't thought about it, I've been going on too much at home lately. Mrs. Meng gently picked up the teacup and didn't drink it, and continued, "But even if you remember, it is estimated that you will make such a note on the family tree, and you will not invite guests to set up wine with great fanfare. ”

Mrs. Quan Si looked at Mrs. Meng's posture of serving tea, she wanted to send off the guests, and she couldn't ask any more useless questions, otherwise Mrs. Meng would misunderstand what she was looking for, so she said: "Actually, I want to say, sister, have you ever thought about what the second lady will do after she marries?"

Mrs. Meng frowned and glanced at Mrs. Quansi, and said lightly: "What else can I do if my husband and son do their duty as a woman?" (to be continued......)
