Shen Yu didn't have a deep impression of this second aunt, although she felt strange, now that she remembered this old lady Meng, she naturally didn't have the heart to think about it in detail, so she just saluted and thanked her.

Cousin-in-law Han was only married a few years ago, and her demeanor is virtuous, but she is always a little cold. As for her cousin Meng Xin, Shen Yu came to Beijing when she was a child and spent a few months with her, although the little girl's family also had quarrels, but it was just that the little girl's family had a bad temper, but now that she has grown up, she has become more affectionate.

Cousin Meng Yang is still young, Yuxue has a cute face, and she is very chubby.

The meal was very quiet, Shen Yu and Jiang Zhen sat side by side, each saving a lot of things to say, but now is not the time.

After eating, Mrs. Meng rinsed her mouth and wiped her hands, and then asked, "Have you cleaned up the east wing of Ruixiang Pavilion?" ”

"I asked someone to clean it up before, but I've been busy lately, and the window is still a pink veil, not the third sister's favorite azure." Tian glanced at Mrs. Shen, with a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, "The third sister will stay first, the warehouse is too busy for a while, and when Ming'er is free, she will change it." ”

"It doesn't have to be that trouble." Old Madam Meng sighed, "Where does Xiao Shu still care about this, it's just that she can get used to living in the house she used to live in." It's been cold for the past two days, so you should add more charcoal to pass, and Ah Yan's body is thin and can't stand the cold. ”

Mrs. Meng's surname was Wei, and she also had an uncle in the family, but it was only later that the family declined, so she was willing to be the successor. However, she has been taught very well since she was a child, and in terms of her temperament and talent, she is not inferior to the Wei family of the first room, and after a few years of entering the door, the relationship between the husband and wife is very harmonious.

Although she is a step-room, she treats her children equally, Meng Yingshi was taken care of by her when she was young, and although the relationship between mother and son is not very close, she is also kind. And she tried her best to plan to marry Meng Yan, the eldest daughter of the first room, to the respect of the county king, as Meng Qian wished, and there was Meng Yingque, her own son, who was very respected in the house.

Before Tian entered the door, the old lady Meng presided over the feed, although the old lady did not take care of things in these years, but occasionally ordered a few words, and they were all inconsequential trivial matters, Tian naturally tried his best to flatter, and did not dare to disobey.

This time, Aunt Jiang and Mrs. Shen returned to Beijing, originally wanting to live in a separate residence of the Jiang family in the capital, but Mrs. Meng was reluctant to love her daughter, and Mrs. Meng was dying, and she might drive west at any time, so she arranged for them to live in the mansion.

Now that the old lady has a life, Tian answered "yes" and kept it in his heart.

Mrs. Meng said to Shen Yu again: "Grandma's face is not very good, she must be tired on the way, Xiaoshu will stay here to accompany her later, and Grandma will go back and rest first." Look at the circles under your eyes, you can see the cyan. ”

Shen Yan's gaze touched the silver-haired old lady, and she clearly saw the worry and concern in it. This is also a kind old man, trying his best to treat every child well, although he will not spoil the children of his grandchildren like Mrs. Meng, he also loved Shen Yu very much.

Shen Yu pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

She really didn't have a good rest this way, the menstrual affairs and the bumps in the carriage and horses, a few days of tossing and turning, at this time she was full of weakness. It's just that she is still reluctant to leave, Mrs. Meng is already terminally ill, looking at that appearance, I am afraid that the future is precarious, there was still a breath of hanging, but now that her wish has been fulfilled, who knows how long he can be sober?

"I want to spend more time with my grandfather." Shen Yu pleaded.

"Go and rest first, I have me here, and if there is anything, I will send someone to call you." Mrs. Shen next to her spoke, because she was too sad, her voice was a little hoarse at this time. She patted the back of Jiang Zhen's hand again, "Zhen'er should go back and rest together." ”

Cousin Meng Xin also responded: "Ruixiang Pavilion is close to me, I will accompany my cousins later, and the two aunts should also take time to rest." ”

- Meng Xin is married to the right temple of Dali Temple, and he is also a young and promising man, since the old lady Meng was seriously ill, he often came to visit, the old lady has been dying in the past two days, and he is entangled in affairs there and can't get out, so he let Meng Xin live in his mother's house and accompany him often.

Aunt Jiang nodded naturally and stroked Jiang Hao's hair, "Auntie may not be used to it when she first arrives in the capital, so you two sisters will sleep together tonight." ”

The matter was agreed.

After Mrs. Shen entered the Meng Mansion, she had been accompanying Mrs. Meng's bed, and now that she was finally free, the second aunt Lu Shi began to chat, "The third sister has come all the way, can the road be smooth?" A few days ago, I heard that there was a heavy snow on the outskirts of Beijing, and the cars and horses could not pass. ”

"It's a lot of snow, and it's very cold." Mrs. Shen was only free at this time, so she asked the accompanying mother-in-law to bring in the prepared gifts.

Tian next to him said: "The third sister should send a letter, so that we can pick you up, the old lady has been chattering, afraid that you will ......" She sighed lowly, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Brother-in-law, is everything okay?" “

Mrs. Shen said: "I was really in a hurry, and I didn't have time to deliver the letter." Originally, he was also going to visit his parents and visit the eldest brother and third brother, but he was stumped by the matter of asking for books. ”

"I heard that the third sister was escorted by His Royal Highness King Duan all the way?" Lu's eyes flickered slightly.

Mrs. Shen was a little surprised, it is said that she did not deliver the letter before she came, and after entering the capital, she parted ways with His Royal Highness King Duan. But this younger brother and sister live in the inner house, how did they know so quickly?

But at this moment, she was so focused on Old Lady Meng that she really didn't have the heart to guess Lu's thoughts, so she just said lightly: "It just so happened that His Royal Highness King Duan was going back to Beijing, so the brother-in-law of the Jiang family asked him to bring us up." ”

- Because of Lu's strange question, Mrs. Shen also concealed the relationship between the Shen family and His Royal Highness King Duan.

Jiang Wenying is a member of the ruling party, and it is barely reasonable to invite His Royal Highness the King to move.

Next to him, Lu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Meng had already stood up, "I'll go inside and sit down first, Xin girl, you take Zhen'er, Auntie, and Yang girl back to rest." ”

As soon as she got up, the Tian family, the Lu family, the Han family, Aunt Jiang, Mrs. Shen and others naturally got up to serve, and they also pressed the topic. Lu Shi smiled softly and said, "It's already dark, and snow foam is floating outside, and the children are still young, why don't I send them back?" ”

Old Madam Meng glanced at her, and the displeasure in her eyes flashed, but she still said, "Then you go and settle down first." ”

Lu Shi responded and beckoned a few girls to go out, and sure enough, there was snow foam floating outside, and the ground was already completely white.

Now it is the middle of winter, the capital is a little colder than Luling, there is a sun shining in the daytime, this will be a cold wind like a knife blowing, rolling snow foam into the neck, so cold that people shiver.

Shen Yu took the coat of Zhaojun from the hand of the silver-red veil rabbit fur lining, and tied the ribbon tightly, but she still felt that the wind was leaking somewhere, and her body was cold. The road in the yard is paved with bluestone bricks, and a thin layer of snow will fall, and there will be some slippery under the feet.

In the night, it is impossible to see the surrounding scenery, only the snow foam brushes over the dim hexagonal glass lamp, which is crystal shining.

The Lu family was originally at the forefront, but halfway through, he slowly leaned close to Shen Yan's side, and said with a smile: "Ah Yu has been in Luling for a long time, I'm afraid I'm not used to the cold of the capital, right?" Look at your clothes are also thin, tomorrow I will ask someone to send a big piece of food, you beware of not catching a cold. ”

"It's good to stay for two days, thank you aunt for remembering." Shen Yan smiled slightly, with a humble attitude.

"Look at your face, it must be a bump on the road, His Royal Highness King Duan is a military person, I'm afraid I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I just care about the road, I didn't let you be wronged, right?"

This question was strange, and Shen Yu couldn't help but be wary.

She didn't know much about this aunt, and she didn't know what she had to do with Xu Yan, so she said: "My mother and I both remember my grandfather, and I can't wait to fly over, so naturally the faster you go, the better." Besides, His Royal Highness King Duan is already a great blessing to be able to piggyback on us, and it is too late for us to be grateful, how dare we say that we have been wronged. ”

Lu just held his lips and smiled. When she was in the Ming Courtyard just now, her face was still full of pain, and she prayed for Mrs. Meng's illness, but she didn't know where to gossip and continued: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness King Duan is cold and fierce, and Ah Yu has gotten along all the way, how do you think of her personality?" ”

This question is even more abrupt.

Shen Yan couldn't figure out the purpose of the Lu family, so she had to say perfunctorily: "Although this journey is with His Royal Highness King Duan, it is just a loan, and there has been no contact, but I don't dare to judge him as a person." ”

When Lu heard this, he looked sideways at Shen Yan, under the faint dim light of the lantern, but saw that her skin was as delicate as jade, her picturesque eyebrows and eyes were embedded in the velvet white rabbit fur, her expression was indifferent, and her attitude was humble and cautious.

looked down on this girl, and she smiled secretly in her heart.

The nobles in the capital are like clouds, how many of them have never had fantasies about Duanwang Xu Yan? Although Xu Yan is known for his cold and murderous reputation, his appearance and demeanor are there, and he is also known as the "God of War", he is the most favored prince of today's saints, and I don't know how many noble girls are in their spring dreams. With the identity of Shen Yu, she can be taken care of by the king, even if she is self-contained, she should show some pride, why is she so indifferent?

This is going to be replaced by Sister Roujia in her mother's family, I'm afraid I'm going to be happy.

If it was replaced by the person from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that it would be even more exciting......

Lu Shi held back his thoughts, and couldn't help but look at Shen Yan carefully.

Meng Xin in front had already stopped in front of a courtyard door, turned around and said, "This is Ruixiang Pavilion, cousin, be careful of the stone steps under your feet." Then he said to the Lu family: "Two cousins, I have me here, why don't you send your sister back first?" She's young and weak, so don't get cold. ”

Shen Yu and Jiang Zhen had a good heart, and when they heard the words, they said goodbye to the Lu family in unison.

The Lu family hesitated a little, and wanted to get a few more words from Shen Yan, but he was afraid that Meng Yang would really suffer from the cold, so after a little weighing, he told them to rest and take Meng Yang away.
