"That's it, Xianggong." Meng Yan saw that Zhou Juren's expression was still a little entangled, and said: "It costs a lot of money to invite the dart team, didn't you say last time that you should live at home, don't be too extravagant?" ”

Zhou Juren has nothing to say, the Meng's family is much higher than theirs, his wife is a young lady, and he is very particular about wearing, he is afraid that his wife will live too luxuriously, so he will mention it slightly, thinking that his wife also wants to save a little money for himself with the official family, so he can only nod.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Juren tossed and turned, after all, he was newly married, and he was not used to suddenly having someone around him, especially when he had something on his mind, for fear of waking up his wife, he felt that he got up and went to the study to read.

As soon as I got together, I heard the person next to the pillow sigh slightly: "Xianggong, can't you sleep too?" ”

Zhou Juren was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, it turned out that she was also awake, and only said: "I feel a little stuffy...... I'm afraid to make a noise for you. ”

He is also a careful person, and he noticed one of the words in his wife's sentence, if he didn't have this word, he could have said that he was afraid of arguing with her, so he wanted to go to the study to read a book or something, but since they couldn't sleep with each other, he couldn't leave his newlywed wife alone.

Meng Yan half-sat up, opened her hazy eyes and asked, "Xianggong, can you talk to me?" ”

Zhou Juren nodded.

Meng Yan showed a happy smile, and in an instant, the smile disappeared again, she sighed softly, and said, "Xianggong, I can't sleep because I think of my sister." ”

"Yes!" When Zhou Juren heard Meng Yan mention this sister, he couldn't help but feel a little more energetic.

Meng Yan said: "I came back from Dingwangfu in the evening and told you that my sister is very good, but in fact it is not, I just don't know how to say it...... The palace sent two palace maids, saying that they were serving their sister and brother-in-law. ”

"Isn't that great? The maid in the palace. Most of them are serving the saint and the harem mother, and naturally they know how to serve people better than other maids. "Zhou Juren didn't know much about the curves inside, the palace was a very distant place for him, and he didn't know much about the battles inside.

Meng Yan smiled bitterly, "My sister is pregnant now, if you really want to be considerate of your sister, you should send an elderly and experienced grandmother." And not younger than my sister. A beautiful palace maid who has never been born at all. ”

Zhou Juren was not stupid, he understood Meng Yan's words, it turned out that the palace was given to the prince to send a beauty. Suddenly, he didn't know how to comfort Meng Yan.

Meng Yan said to herself: "Although my second sister and I are sisters, we are not close, and when I was not sensible, the second sister was sent to the countryside...... Recuperate. I didn't come back until more than a year ago, when I was still in school. The food and accommodation are all in the boudoir, and after I came back, I found that there was an older sister in the family who was about to marry into the high family, and I didn't hide it from the public. I was quite upset at the time...... Originally, I was the only lady in the family, but now I suddenly have a more noble ...... The maid didn't dare to say anything, but one by one she rushed to the second sister. For a while, I felt very uncomfortable. ”

Zhou Juren was silent and didn't know how to talk. He is a big man, and he doesn't know how to comfort women, not to mention that what Meng Yan said is just trivial things, in his opinion, no matter what this princess is, she is about to get married after all, and it won't affect Meng Yan much, and it will be over after a while.

"Of course, I'll open it later." Meng Yan stopped for a long time, didn't see Zhou Juren speak, and still said to herself, "It's just that the relationship with the second sister is still not close, she doesn't take the initiative to look for me, and I don't take the initiative to look for her, so until she gets married, I almost never get on the door of the Dingwang Mansion after getting married...... Wealth is easy to dazzle, I'm afraid that after I go, I can't help but be envious, jealous, and even more afraid that people will say that they are stammering my sister and brother-in-law. ”

"After all, they are sisters, so they always have to take care of each other." Zhou Juren whispered, with a faint expression on his face.

"Yes! It's just that, listen to my mother, but most of those who go to the palace gate are to get a relationship and bargain. Meng Yan said, glancing at Zhou Juren, "The most obvious thing is the third old lady Quan, who wants to send beauties and do business in the name of his in-laws, and the door of the palace is not easy to enter, so he stares at our house and doesn't stop for a moment." ”

Zhou Juren's expression froze suddenly.

Seeing this, Meng Yan showed an expression of saying the wrong thing, and said: "Xianggong, you don't have to worry too much about Sister Cai'er, after all, the third old lady is just a father-in-law, and there is a mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and Aunt Quan I haven't seen much, but the third old lady is a very kind old man." ”

Zhou Juren was silent again.

"Xianggong, look at me, I actually said something unhappy, and you have to worry about it." Meng Yan said apologetically, and said quietly, "I'm just a little uncomfortable in my heart, sorry for my sister, she had a rough fate when she was a child, and now she ...... I only hope that my brother-in-law can take pity on her more. ”

"Yes." Zhou Juren was comforted dryly.

After sitting for a while, the couple went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhou Juren was still asleep, Meng Yan quietly got up, asked the maid to pack her luggage, prepare dry food, etc., and then load the luggage into the car, and then let the little maid first send it to the backyard of the family surnamed Shi, together with their luggage, and send it over later, first take the carriage outside the city, so as not to get a large number of people and carriages out of the city together on the way to encounter red and white ceremonies easy to congestion.

Wait for the week to get up and have breakfast.

Meng Yan had already done a good job, and Zhou Juren only needed to clean up the books he read on weekdays.

After Zhou Juren finished packing his bags, Ping's mother said that the Shi family's car was already waiting outside the city.

Meng Yanyou asked Zhou Juren: "Xianggong, it's still early, but we are following someone else's convoy, should we wait outside the city first?" ”

Zhou Juren thought for a while, they should indeed wait outside the city first, and as soon as the Shi family arrived, they couldn't let others wait for them in turn? He nodded.

After getting into the carriage, Zhou Juren felt a little surprised.

The carriages selected by Meng Yan are all very simple kinds, which are generous enough to explain, but they are all carriages with green cloth tents, and there is no decoration at all.

Zhou Juren nodded secretly, his wife is also a real person, she didn't get those bells and whistles, unlike the ladies he occasionally saw, a teacup pattern and a handkerchief color are picky for a long time. The more scholarly the family, the more particular he is, so he marries the daughter of a general, and he is a little afraid of those girls who are too particular about the scholarly family.

Others thought that he was from a scholarly family and should marry a girl from the right family, but they didn't know that he was in his grandfather's house before he was eight years old.

Outside the city. Didn't wait long. The people of the Shi family came, and Meng Yan and Mrs. Shi had met Miss Shi several times, and the ladies greeted each other. The men also said a few words and set off.

On the first day, when they rested at the official station, the two ladies could still chat, and the men could also drink a little wine, because they had only traveled for half a day. But on the second day, at the time of rest. The lady no longer has the spirit to chat.

Ate the loess all the way, although walking slowly, but also bumpy along the way, how can you withstand this bump when you are pampered and take a few steps on weekdays. Everyone complained bitterly, especially the little girl of the Shi family, who had never been far away in her life. I have never suffered this kind of hardship, and my face is blue when I get out of the carriage. I vomited so much that I couldn't eat.

At this time, Zhou Juren was once again glad that he was married to the daughter of a military general, Meng Yan could not dance with a knife and a stick, but he could still ride a horse, take a carriage, and then ride a horse, so he was not so wolf.

Rao is like this, the journey of two days was four and a half days.

Zhou Juren is also glad that he set off a day in advance, otherwise he will go by himself, taking care of his female dependents slowly, when will he be able to get home? It will delay the worship of the teacher.

Because he came back in the name of worshipping his teacher, he let the Shi family take a while, and he couldn't invite people to sit at home to rest and recuperate, Zhou Juren felt very sorry, but fortunately, the local county order offended Master Shi was to take office in the next state capital, although he didn't know him, he also invited the Shi family to live in the county government through the relationship of the Zhou family, and rested for a while.

Meng Yan was relieved when he arrived at the Zhou family, and finally this heart could settle down, even if there was anything, there were people from the Gonggong clan to persuade him.

Zhou Juren's classmate looked for Zhou Juren before, and she speculated that it was nothing more than that friend or classmate, or even maybe just their relatives were involved in some case, hoping to use the in-law relationship between the Zhou family and the Dingwang Mansion to ask the Dingwang Lord to come forward.

It's not that she is ruthless and doesn't save her, but from the words of peace, her father-in-law doesn't know anything about this matter, and it's hard to say whether she is wronged or not, so why do you have the audacity to ask the prince to come forward? The second sister is already very annoyed, but she can't harass the second sister with a big belly for the sake of someone who can't beat the eight poles, and she thinks that even if the princess asks for face, the prince will not pay attention to it, he didn't even show up when they got married, how could he give too much face? I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the prime minister to even see the face of the prince.

Because of this incident, Meng Yan felt that she had escaped a catastrophe, and became more and more respectful as a daughter-in-law in the Zhou family, whether it was to the elders or to the sister-in-law who was about the same age, she would inevitably show her gentle and dignified side in front of people, and this move won a lot of praise, even if some self-owned scholars and ladies with good knowledge wanted to find fault with her knowledge.

Because she said from the beginning that she was born in a military general's family and her knowledge is not good, she wants to learn from all the aunts, aunts, eldest sisters and younger sisters, and her modest attitude makes people unable to find faults.

This is what Ping's mother taught her, in fact, she is not a little reader, she learned from a serious boudoir, and she is also smart, compared with these scholarly ladies and ladies, she is considered to be above average, but when people are humble will not be wrong, not to mention that even if these readers are respectful to her on the surface, there will still be some contempt in their hearts, and they dare not say anything in person, they must discuss behind their backs, and break what she said word by word to study, and now they show weakness first, and they don't have too much on the surface, and there is nothing to talk about behind them.

Pretending to be is not as difficult as she imagined, anyway, she won't stay in the Zhou clan for too long, and many things don't matter after she gets a firm foothold.

……

Presumably Meng Yan was cautious, but Su Yiqing on the other side was a little careless.

Mama Qing has always been worried that she is under the influence of those two palace maids, but after observing for a few days, she has nothing at all, and she still does what she should do.

Even when the two palace maids said that they would come to greet her, she didn't avoid them like she did to Ning Ya'er, and she agreed to ask for so many times once or twice.

Every time I asked for peace, I pretended to be tired, asked them to step back, and asked Mama Qing to apologize again and again, shouting at the two palace maids, and treating them as masters.

Qing Mama is very powerful, but powerful people also have the benefits of powerful people, she can teach Ning Yaer a lesson again and again, but for the two palace maids with a harem background, she is a slave's mouth, and she can put her figure very low.

This is done so hard that people have nothing to say.

One of the two palace maids is called Yue'e, and the other is called Yuejiao, both of whom are young and jade-looking girls, with low status and difficult to be looked at by the emperor, I thought that they would stay up in the palace until they were old, and if they were lucky, they could be released from the palace when they were old, and if they were unlucky, they would die of old age in a corner of the palace, and it would be difficult to see the world outside the palace gate in their lives.

Who would have expected that suddenly, joy descended from the sky, and Concubine Yang sent them to Princess Ding, saying that she would let them serve Prince Ding and Princess Ding.

This couldn't help but make them overjoyed, and what was even more pleasing was that they thought that Concubine Yang would have some explanations when she sent them into the palace, such as secretly paying attention to King Ding's every move or pleasing King Ding, and even having a darker purpose...... But obviously they thought too much, Concubine Yang didn't have any additional explanations before entering the palace, and no one sneakily conveyed anything after entering the palace, the people in Dingwang's mansion were very good to them, and the princess looked quite kind.

Yiqiē was like being in a dream, and Yue'e felt that it would be great if she could go on like this.

However, Yuejiao had other ideas, after the initial apprehension, she couldn't help but think more about her future, Dingwangfu is stronger than the palace, but it is also as deep as the sea.

What will she do in the future? Now that the princess is from the palace, she is polite to them, what about the future? After the princess gives birth, the limelight has passed, how will she take them?

Will you clean them up then?

After a year and a half, where can Concubine Yang still remember them? No one cares whether they are dead or alive, and dying of old age in a corner of the palace is not much different from dying of old age in a corner of Dingwang's Mansion.

She briefly mentioned such a matter to Yue'e, but Yue'e didn't think so much, only comforted her, they have only been here for less than a month, don't worry, as long as they serve the princess like ordinary maids, they won't embarrass them if they want to come, the palace doesn't remember that they are not better, after two or three years, ask the princess for a grace, presumably it is much easier to get out of the palace than out of the palace, and then there will be a good life, think about it no matter how much it is better than the palace to endure and see the light of day.
