Mei Jingwan was angered by her words, and when she raised her eyebrows, the injury on her eyebrow bone became more and more hideous and abrupt, and her voice was trembling: "You wolf-hearted thing, I mistakenly left you back then, I was really blind!" ”

"Yes," Mei Rui smiled lightly, "If my aunt hadn't taken me in, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the streets." The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, this is the principle that my father taught me, and I gave it to my aunt what my aunt wanted, but my aunt didn't seem to know how to be satisfied. ”

She rarely ridiculed, and the corners of her lips were very cold, "It's because my aunt came back here, how do you want me to repay my aunt for her kindness back then?" ”

The breath was rapid and short, Mei Jingwan gritted her teeth desperately, and looked at her with her cheeks tense, this girl can endure! When she spoke, she was arrogant, and when she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, she didn't see it anymore, and the hard one didn't work, so her demeanor softened, and she drooped her eyebrows: "As before, it's all a family, why make a fuss like this?" ”

These words came easily, Mei Jingwan rolled up her sleeves and burst into tears, "You don't know your uncle, your family was ruined by him back then, and you still owe gambling debts outside, aunt is like this because there is no way, you are a good child, can't you forgive your aunt?" ”

Mei Rui brushed her brows, calm and unmoved, "I'm still the same sentence, reluctantly give it a try, aunt don't have too much expectations." ”

Mei Jingwan gritted her teeth because she didn't eat oil and salt, but this matter was Guan Suiyuan's future, and she couldn't let it go on like this. He is just a son, even if he is not angry, he should always plan well, Mei Jingwan's waist bowed deeper, and at the same time lowered his voice: "Listen to them, your relationship with the protector of Beiya is very good..."

Before he finished speaking, he was cut off by Mei Rui, "Where did my aunt hear this?" ”

She asked first, which made Mei Jingwan make a decision, she belched, pretended to be reasonable and kind, and said to Mei Rui: "You don't care where I heard it from, just because of this incident, my aunt thinks you are innocent." There is no right or wrong in this matter of love, although the protector has some shortcomings, but there must be a place where you like it next to you, your child's temperament aunt is the most understandable, once recognized, regardless of the ground, when he said that he wanted to come to Chang'an, he really said that he would leave, which scared your uncle and me. I thought you just didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and you would come back in a few days away from home, but you didn't know that there was no news for so many years, and you really arrived in Chang'an. ”

Mei Rui was a little interested when she heard her nonsense, and looked at her thoughtfully, "Aunt really thinks so?" ”

"Otherwise," Mei Jingwan said softly, "Do you think your aunt will really harm you?" If you really want to hurt you, how can your aunt take you in, Jingchen is just a daughter like you, and it's too late for your aunt to hurt you. After Jingchen passed away, your aunt can also be regarded as your elder, and your marriage will naturally have to worry about your aunt. It stands to reason that if you are asked to eat against the waiter, Jing Chen will never agree. But you like it yourself, the two things that your aunt doesn't want to do in her life, one is to be a strong man, and the other is to ruin people's marriages, if you really like to protect the army, and he treats you well, it's not impossible for you to be with him. ”

Mei Rui smiled, "Then, it's time for me to thank my aunt." ”

"You kid! What do you say, this is what my aunt should do," she was a little moved when she said it, but she didn't know if it was true or not, Mei Jingwan raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and snorted, "It's just that God is pitiful, you have a good home, but your cousin Ah Yuan is still an ignorant person, and he is worried day and night, I really don't know what to do." ”

At this point, if she didn't ask, she didn't know how to lift, Mei Rui pressed the corners of her mouth, "I look at my cousin's appearance very well, but I'm still worried that I don't have a good home?" That's too dusty. ”

I don't know if Mei Jingwan heard the sarcasm in her words, or just turned a deaf ear, she only cared about saying her own words, and her frosty face was full of tears, which inexplicably made people feel uncomfortable: "What's the solution, my aunt can't let him go, and your cousin's temperament is like this." She suddenly changed her words, "But fortunately, he has a relationship with homeschool, as long as your cousin is willing to learn, he will not be worse than others." Isn't this spring festival going to open, I heard that this year is the invigilator of the guard, as it is, can you think of ideas to help your cousin? ”

Waiting for her here, Mei Rui said slowly: "How does my aunt want me to help?" ”

"There are many ways to do this, and the clearest one is... Let the protector reveal some heavenly opportunities, since the protector is an invigilator, he must know what to test, it's just a matter of one sentence," Mei Jingwan rubbed her hands, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, it's not in the way, right." ”

Mei Rui looked at her quietly, her eyes seemed to have a knife hidden, but her smile was peaceful, "Probably my aunt has never read such words in books, and the word "effort" was originally used for self-humility, not as an excuse for coercion when you ask someone for help. ”

"What are you talking about," Mei Jingwan was a little stunned, "Isn't it easy for the guards to do such a small thing." What is the relationship between you and the protectors, as long as you open your mouth to protect the army, I will not say to others that Ah Yuanzhongju is a blessing to the protectors, God knows that you know and I know, who will know? Her face fell, "How about I allowed you to be with him, and that's how he reciprocated?" ”

Reversing right and wrong, Mei Rui listened to it funny, her smile seemed to be nothing, her eyes were frozen for thousands of miles, and she said coldly: "I know, this kind of thing of other people's generosity, my aunt has always done it handy, does my aunt feel that anyone owes my aunt a favor, no matter how ridiculous and unreasonable my aunt's request is, she must satisfy my aunt?" What kind of person is my cousin, my aunt knows better than me, that is, he can go to high school, not to mention that others are suspicious, he will be able to enter the official in the future? ”

"Besides," she sneered, "when will it be my aunt's turn to have the final say?" What does it mean that my aunt allowed me to be with the protectors, and if my aunt didn't allow me, then I couldn't be with the protectors? My aunt can't help but think too highly of herself," she pressed her words even harder, teaching Mei Jingwan to breathless, "Since my father and mother passed away, I am the only one who makes my own decisions, and others don't want to interfere in the slightest." Not to mention a dispensable flesh-and-blood relative like my aunt, what my aunt said was not even as good as a silver needle falling to the ground. ”

Mei Jingwan was still in shock, these words damaged her face, her face gradually turned red, the word Mei Rui was about to pop out from between her teeth, and a faint voice came from the door: "It turns out that it is here as it is, but teach me to find it." ”

Turning his head to look, under the gloomy sky, Lu Zhen's robe stepped into the high threshold, but he was alone but with thousands of troops, he walked to this side with his hands behind his back, every step was calm, the priority was just right, calm and noble, standing in front of the two, he looked at Mei Jingwan first, and asked in a flat voice: "Who is this?" ”

He walked in like this, stood beside Mei Rui in an intimate manner, and without waiting for Mei Rui to answer, Mei Jingwan preemptively spoke: "Back to the escort army, the folk woman is the same aunt, I don't know that the escort is coming, it is not welcome, and I ask the escort to forgive me." ”

"It turned out to be the aunt of the old one," Lu Zhi raised his hand slightly, "No need to be polite, I have heard the old mention of Mrs., Mrs. came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, but I failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but made Zhao Shangshu rob the credit, it is really a pity." ”

"Where is this for the Protector," Seeing that Lu Zhi was so easy to speak, Mei Jingwan narrowed her eyes happily, "I have heard the good name of the Protector for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation, I don't know if I have this honor, please Protector Drink a cup of tea?" ”

Take the tea of Zhao's Mansion and invite Lu Zhi, this ability to borrow flowers and offer Buddha is also good, Lu Zhi chuckled lightly, bowed his head, "Please Mrs. lead the way, I will come later." ”

Mei Jingwan walked into the house to make tea with her waist over, and Lu Zhi was about to take a step, when Mei Rui, who was holding her breath and did not make a sound, suddenly moved, pulled Lu Zhi's cuffs, and asked in a low voice, "What are the guards doing here?" ”

Who knew that Lu Zhi asked rhetorically: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

His voice was very light, like the sky before the rain, and an amazing storm was brewing under the tranquility: "If I don't know the wrong way, then this is the Zhao Mansion, so you followed Zhao Yuanliang back to his mansion, I didn't ask you first, but you asked me instead?" He turned his head to meet her gaze, "There's only one reason I'm here, and that's to find you." ”

Her throat stagnated, and she couldn't say more, Mei Rui was stunned, Lu Zhi lowered her eyes and looked at her hand that grabbed her cuff, and her voice was softer: "Okay, this is actually nothing, I'm just worried about you, your aunt seems to have something to say to me, I'll go in first, you wait for me outside." ”

I don't know when he came in, and I don't know how much he listened to her conversation with her aunt before, and Mei Rui wanted to tell him what to write, such as not believing what her aunt said, and not agreeing to Aunt Gu's unreasonable request because of her, but he seemed to understand, and patted the back of her hand gently: "Don't worry." ”

Just listening to these two words, he really put his mind at ease, he seemed to have the power to calm her down, gentle and firm, Mei Rui's eyes were a little hot, and she nodded to him: "I'm waiting for the escort outside." ”

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and he walked into the house, Mei Jingwan had already made the tea, and when she saw him coming in, she hurriedly came up to greet him: "Protector, please take a seat." ”

He calmly entered the upper seat, leaning on his elbows, casual and elegant, ignoring the tea on the table, and looking at Mei Jingwan with his fingers intertwined: "Madame is looking for me, is there something I can help Madame?" ”

Mingren doesn't say dark words, Mei Jingwan only thinks that he is not as ruthless as rumored, and it seems that he is sincere to Mei Rui. The cold-hearted character Dan Fan has Qi Si, it can be regarded as infatuation, she pretended to sigh: "With the escort by my side, I should also put my mind at ease." ”

Seeing Lu Zhi looking at her with a little doubt, she smiled and said: "As such, this child's life is very hard, her father left her and her mother to Chang'an to seek fame after she was born, and she encountered smallpox again when she was eight years old, and her mother also died of that illness." She was blessed with a great life and survived, and then her father also came back from Chang'an. But it's not necessarily good for her father to come back, and he didn't return to his hometown after becoming famous, he looked down, and he drank at home on a day in the town, and the burden of the family at that time was all on the same person. She is sensible early, very capable, embroidering and helping outside, which makes people feel very distressed. ”

Lu Zhi had always been very interested in Mei Rui's past, so he sighed and said with interest, "And then?" ”

"Alas, but the good times didn't last long, and within two years, her father also passed away, so I took her in, and when her father's filial piety period expired, she also came to Chang'an," Mei Jingwan sighed for a long time, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have become a big girl, and I am very similar to her father." ”

She is indeed very similar to her father, Lu Zhi looked outside, the slightly open window seemed to be able to see the corner of her dress, Mei Jingwan was still chattering in her ear, "This time I came back to Chang'an, in fact, I accompanied her cousin to take the exam, and she and her cousin had a good relationship when they were young, and they were often stubborn together." This rejuvenation, I don't know if I can have a good ranking, whether I can be shortlisted! ”

"Ling Gongzi is a candidate for this Spring Festival?" Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Coincidentally, I happened to be presiding over the Spring Festival, since I have a deep friendship with Ling Gongzi as before, if I see Ling Gongzi in the examination room, I will definitely take care of one or two." ”

The word "care" seemed to be bitten heavily, and it was a little tasteless, Mei Jingwan thought that she had misheard, but what she wanted was not only care, she was busy saying: "But the guards ......"

Lu Zhi straightened the cuffs, pressed the cloud pattern flat, and opened his mouth without waves, "But since it is the same cousin, it is too troublesome to enter the official position with the spring and the spring, if you want to be an official, there is a simpler way than this, but I don't know if the lady is willing?" ”

Is there an easier way to do it? Mei Jingwan never expected Lu Zhi to be so easy to speak, but she suppressed her ecstasy and asked cautiously, "Is what the protector said true?" ”

"Inevitably," he said, teasingly, "It's a trivial matter, Ling Lang doesn't want to participate in any spring festivals, and after that, there will be palace exams, and it's not good to show flaws." Just wait in peace at the Zhao Mansion, and I will arrange it for my wife. ”

"This, really," flattered, Mei Jingwan couldn't believe it, "the great grace of the protector... The women of the people are really unrecompensable..."

She was a little incoherent, but Lu Zhi was very indifferent, and looked at her with a smile: "This is nothing, since it is a relative of the old people, it is also counted as mine, and the lady is willing to let me do it, which is more important than anything else." ”

"Naturally," Mei Jingwan blurted out, and bowed to Lu Zhi, "If she can be so loved by the guards, she will be able to look at her father and mother if she wants to come." ”

She couldn't see the fleeting anger that swept under Lu Zhi's eyes, only listened to the sound of the corners of the robe flying, like cracks, Lu Zhi stood up and said to her: "Then I will go back to the palace with the old man first, I will definitely arrange the affairs of Ling Lang, and please ask Mrs. Shao'an not to be impatient." ”

Mei Jingwan raised her head again, and all she saw was the back of the guard, and she muttered incredulously: "Because of a woman, she became like this, in vain I heard that it was a man-eating demon, but I didn't expect it to be a lover." ”

Mei Rui, who was waiting outside, didn't expect Lu Zhi to come out so soon, she waited for him to come over, frowned and asked him, "What did my aunt say to you?" ”

She was willing to call the woman an aunt, Lu Zhi felt that her heart was too soft, and shook her head: "It's not a big deal." ”

"Nonsense," she followed him out, all the way unimpeded, and she didn't know where those people had gone, "Aunt she wants you to tell her the test questions of Chunyu, doesn't she?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhi looked at her sideways, "That's what she thinks?" Then why didn't she sue me, if she did, I would..."

Mei Rui looked at him vigilantly, viciously, as if he was going to eat him alive if he agreed, Lu Zhi chuckled: "I will definitely not agree." ”

"That's fine," Merry let out a sigh of relief, "and I know you're not going to say yes." ”

The person beside him didn't respond for a long time, and Mei Rui was about to turn her head to look, when she was suddenly pulled by him and pressed against the pillar.

Lu Zhen's voice rang dangerously in her ears, "But as usual, how can you have so many good brothers, and which brother am I?" ”
