Eighty-four

Because Xue Dad and the second uncle were going to the capital, there was really no way to escort the Meng family into Beijing, so they had no choice but to hire a few people in Changzhou to escort the family. The capital is far away, and the carriages are full of old people and children, so the road is extremely slow, and it took more than 20 days to finally see the gate of the capital.

"Arrived-" Since he heard that he could arrive today, Ah Chu has been in a state of excitement, and every few minutes he can't help but lift the curtain to look out, and when he finally sees the towering city wall in the distance, Ah Chu finally can't help but shout excitedly, "Sister Xiaoxue, we have arrived in the capital." Come out and take a look! ”

Xu You let out an "oh", and was about to poke his head out of the window like him, but he was stopped by Mrs. Meng as soon as he moved, "Xiaoxue, don't listen to Ah Chu, he is a boy, so he can do whatever he wants, you are a girl, how can you be so frizzy." ”

"Am I not wearing men's clothes?" Xu You pointed to the clothes on her body and whispered to argue, Mrs. Meng has been a little abnormal recently, when she was in Yunzhou before, she never cared about these, and always said that girls should be lively, but since she decided to come to the capital, she began to call her rules, opening and closing her mouth is "girls should be demure, to be elegant......", Xu You was very uncomfortable, so he simply found a set of Snow Daddy's clothes, repaired them slightly, and put them on himself.

Mrs. Meng had nothing to do with her.

"Mother, I want to go down." Ah Chu was about to get out of the carriage, but was dragged by the second aunt, turned his eyes horizontally, and shouted: "Don't mess around, think this is still Yunzhou?" ”

Ah Chu was dragged by her, and immediately looked at Mrs. Meng for help, and called out "Grandma-" with a blank face, and Mrs. Meng shook her head at him with a calm face. Ah Chu had no choice but to sit back in the distance. Xu You patted him on the shoulder and whispered to comfort him, "It's okay, it's more lively in the capital." ”

The carriage got closer and closer, and when he saw that he had arrived at the gate of the city, there was a sudden commotion outside, where could Ah Chu bear it, and before Mrs. Meng stopped him, he had already opened the curtain and looked out, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Dad, uncle, we are here-"

It's Snow Daddy and Second Uncle who came to pick them up! The family was suddenly overjoyed, and Ah Chu jumped with joy, jumped down quickly without waiting for the carriage to stop, spread his legs and ran forward, and rushed into Second Uncle Meng's arms.

"Why did you come here in person?" Mrs. Meng was very happy in her heart, and her mouth was almost closed, but she deliberately made a reproachful tone, "Didn't you say that the errand was very busy?" You brothers have just entered Beijing, and they haven't stood firm yet, so why did you ask for leave to come out? As she spoke, she glanced uneasily at the gate of the city, and asked in a low voice, "What is the matter ahead?" ”

Second Uncle Meng immediately lowered his voice and whispered, "Be quiet!" He looked around to make sure that no one noticed him, and then quietly explained: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is going out of the city, and he was stopped by someone, and he is making trouble." ”

Xu You was surprised when he heard this. What kind of character is the king of Qi, that is really a character who does not play cards according to common sense, if he really wants to be horizontal, even the prince of Rui may not be able to stop him, someone dares to stop him, and if he really makes trouble at the city gate for a while, it is estimated that there will be a big deal today.

However, judging from the expressions on the faces of Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng, it doesn't seem like something big is going to happen, especially the second uncle, the corners of his mouth have been hooked, with a wicked smile and a gloating look.

Old Lady Meng was also a little surprised, "King Qi? Is it the handsome offspring who went to pick up Brother Shun back to Beijing a few years ago? That kid looks like that's called Jun! My old wife has lived for most of her life, and I have never seen such a handsome offspring. What did he do, how did he get stopped? ”

Ah Chu also stared at Second Uncle Meng with wide eyes and curiosity, waiting for him to explain expectantly. However, Second Uncle Meng just coughed embarrassedly twice, and looked at Xue Dad for help, Xue Dad glanced at him with half-squinted eyes, and ignored him, so Second Uncle Meng smiled "hehe", touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, I'll tell you when I go back." ”

Xu You immediately guessed that there was something strange here, she was thinking wildly, when a column of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the city gate, and His Royal Highness King Qi rushed out with a gloomy face and anger, and quickly disappeared at the end of the official road, raising a piece of loess.

"Huh-" Second Uncle Meng let out an exclamation and muttered in some surprise, "You're really gone?" Didn't you like such a beautiful little girl? ”

Hey? Xu You's eyes widened immediately, what little girl? His Royal Highness King Qi is going to ask for a wife?

Before she could ask, the old lady spoke first with a curious expression, "Which little girl?" His Royal Highness King Qi is not young, isn't he? ”

"I heard that they are all thirty years younger," Second Uncle Meng pouted, "I haven't married until now, I heard that no one looks down on me because of my high vision." It was the daughter of Lord Shangshu's mansion who just came out to stop him! looks very good-looking, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qi to still not give face. If this gets out, how will the little girl be? ”

Old Lady Meng immediately frowned and did not speak. But Xue Dad interjected with some surprise, "It's not unusual to not look at it." Lin Shangshu is not a person with rules, the house is in a mess, how can he teach a good daughter. A young lady from the concubine dared to run out into the street to stop the mount of His Royal Highness the King, I don't know which family it was. ”

Mrs. Meng immediately chimed in, "The boss is right! In the end, it's a girl, no matter how you do it, you have to be more reserved, and when you see that His Royal Highness King Qi is born well, she will come over, and she will make a big fanfare, and everyone knows it, isn't it forcing others. No wonder His Royal Highness King Qi was so angry that his face turned white. ”

She thought about it, sighed again, and said, "You still have to be cautious about this marriage matter." When she spoke, she glanced at Xu You again, and there seemed to be a lot of helplessness hidden in her eyes. Xu You was furious by her, and grinned and smirked at her unnaturally, and the old lady immediately turned her head and rubbed her forehead, looking like she had a big head.

This old man has been really weird lately!

After entering the city and walking along Chang'an Avenue for nearly half an hour, the carriage got into the alley on the side of the road, turned east and west, and finally stopped at the gate of an inconspicuous courtyard.

Hearing the movement outside, the courtyard door immediately opened, and a middle-aged man in his early forties walked out from inside, greeted him with a smile on his face, bent down slightly and said, "The owner is back!" This is the old lady of the proprietor's house, hurry into the house, the house has already been cleaned up. ”

"This is ......" Mrs. Meng was a little unaccustomed to it, but her face was quite calm, and even with a smile.

Second Uncle Meng hurriedly said: "This is Uncle Dong, I and my eldest brother invited me to take care of the house." Well, this yard at home is a bit big, so-"

The yard is a bit big?

Xu You was a little curious, but she didn't interject and obediently followed Xue Daddy into the door.

Their new home is a two-entry courtyard, and there is even a small garden on one side of the ear room, and a small pond is dug up, the water in the pond is shallow, and there are a few red koi fish and Manman's aquatic plants, and the pond is fenced with wood, and it is made into the style of a beautiful woman, and from time to time there is a cool breeze blowing, which is refreshing.

"Wow-" Ah Chu immediately couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful here." "They have been living in Yunzhou before, the north is a bit dry, and there are few ponds, not to mention that they are still in their own yards, and Ah Chu was firmly attracted by it as soon as they met, "I like this!" ”

Second Uncle Meng was very happy, and lifted Ah Chuyi above his head like a child and let him sit on his shoulder, "Let's go in and see, it's more beautiful inside." ”

Mrs. Meng quietly pulled Xue Daddy aside and whispered a little uneasily, "Is this ...... How much does it cost? She suddenly thought of Zhao Chengjin, and immediately became nervous again, and asked quickly: "Won't it be sent by Brother Shun again?" We can't ask for this. If the family still has money, let's go and buy a smaller yard by ourselves, and if we can't do it, we can rent a place to live. ”

Xue Dad smiled and shook his head, "This is really not, it was introduced by my colleague, it was originally a Beijing official's house, and then the official offended people, so he avoided the south, and when he left, he hurriedly sold the house, which made me cheaper." ”

Is there such a good thing? Xu You was a little skeptical. Old Mrs. Meng seemed to have the same thoughts as her, still staring at Xue Dad suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

Xue Dad shook his head helplessly, "Mother, I know it in my heart, if this is really sent by Brother Shun, I don't dare to accept it." ”

Mrs. Meng believed him at this time, thought about it, became happy again, and said with a smile: "Go back and invite your colleague over to thank you, this yard is really ......" She said while following Second Uncle Meng to visit her new home with great interest.

In King Rui's mansion, Zhao Cheng was picking out clothes with a serious face.

"Where's this one?" Shen Rong picked out a royal blue leather silk shirt from the wardrobe, "This color is good, the last time you went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, you wore this outfit, and the Queen Mother praised you." ”

Brother Ping, who had to follow up in the house, also nodded again and again, "Big brother wears this, this looks good." ”

Zhao Chengjin was a little dissatisfied, wrinkled his brows and looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head, "It's not good," he said, "It's a little too expensive." "That dress is a bit too solemn, it is appropriate to wear it when entering the palace, but if you wear it like this to the Meng family, it will be particularly oppressive.

"That'...... White this? ”

"Too plain."

"Where's this one?"

"It's old-fashioned."

“……”

In the end, he still picked out a moon-white robe, with white edges on the neckline and cuffs, and a white dark belt around his waist, which looked particularly sven, like a young and shy scholar, Zhao Chengjin was finally satisfied.
