Chapter Ninety-Four: Uncle
When she came out of Meng's mansion, Yushi didn't meet Meng Liangcai, but she met Meng Jun, and it was also because Meng Jun deliberately waited for her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, it's cousins, and although they don't know each other, it's not good to ignore them completely.
So Yu Shi stopped under the corridor in a small garden in the front yard, and as far as the eye could see, there was a pond full of lotus flowers, dark green lotus leaves covered the entire water surface, white lotus blooming, the sharp powder was like a woman's rouge, lightly on the top of the white lotus petals, the breeze was slow, and the faint lotus fragrance could still be smelled.
Jingyi, beautiful flowers, and fragrant scenery, everything is wonderful, but the mood of the people who enjoy the scenery is a little bad.
Meng Jun was waiting for Yu Shi under the corridor in the garden, and after seeing Yu Shi enter the small garden and say hello to him, he actually looked at the pond under the corridor without saying a word, and even Liancheng was also solemn, he couldn't help but feel a little sneering in his heart, hesitated for a long time, and then tried to ask:
"Cousin Yu, what is the matter with what you told my mother about the conspiracy between the shopkeeper of Huanxi Building and the richest man in Zhusha County? I wonder if Cousin Jade can tell me? ”
Yu Shi withdrew his gaze from the powder of the lotus petal tip and slowly moved it to Meng Jun's face.
The eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, the face is like powder, and the skin is white like coagulation, which is a little more delicate than a woman's skin.
Just look closely, but the forehead in the upper corner of his right eye is slightly stiff.
The wind didn't blow a few strands of his forehead, and she didn't notice it.
Meng Jun seemed to notice that Yu Shi was looking at his forehead a little probing, and by turning his head to look at the white lotus in the pool, he quickly covered his right forehead, and there was some unhappiness in his tone:
"I wonder what Cousin Jade is looking at?"
Even if there is really something different, such a naked exploration is not very good, not to mention that she didn't really see anything, Yu Shi smiled lightly:
"When I was in Zhusha County, I often heard about Cousin Meng's fame, and when I saw it today, it was really as dignified as the rumors, and it looked like Pan An!"
Meng Jun is the same age as Yushi, but Yushi was born more than a month earlier, but in addition to the maid around him in the early years who was carried by Yao Meiling as the master of the room, there was not even half a woman around him, and a year ago, he was even connected to the room Yahuan was rejected by him, and almost became a dull earthly monk.
Listening to Liancheng's inquiry, Yao Meiling also had gray hair for the sake of Meng Jun's family affairs in the past two years, and Meng Liangcai always mentioned it, and he also used the excuse of establishing a career first, saying that at least after being admitted to the examination, he would consider marrying a wife and having children.
Whether this is to start a family first and then start a business, or to start a business first and then start a family, in Yushi's view, it is actually feasible.
Anyway, Meng Jun has already won the name of Xiucai, as long as he participates in this year's autumn examination and wins the township examination, he probably has no excuse not to marry.
According to what Liancheng has discovered, Meng Jun's knowledge is really good, not only with gold and jade, but also with real talent.
I also heard that she, Cousin Meng, is extremely beautiful.
But since she praised his appearance, his face became more and more heavy, and Yu Shi felt that the wind outside was extremely wrong on this point.
Didn't you say that Meng Jun didn't dislike others praising his appearance?
Why did she say that his face was as ugly as if he had eaten something golden?
Meng Jun's face was as black as ink, and his voice was slightly cold:
"Cousin Yu is one of the three beauties of Chujing, if you want to talk about this figure who is alluring to the city and the country, how dare I compare with Cousin Yu!"
Liancheng doesn't squint, but his heart is full of slander.
Finally, he still has self-knowledge, no matter how handsome Ren Mengjun is, he can't be as handsome as the thousands of households in his family!
Yu Shi didn't expect that her words were just a false response, which actually caused Meng Jun to be annoyed and mention her good name in Beijing, and couldn't help laughing dryly at the moment:
"Cousin Meng asked people to lead me to this small garden, I don't know what is the important matter? If you just want to ask the question just now, then Cousin Meng also asked the wrong person, you should ask your aunt, I am a junior, and there is no reason to discuss the elders behind my back. ”
That's a high-sounding statement.
Meng Jun was already bored because of Yu Shi's words about his appearance, and when he heard these words that were actually hollow on the surface, he couldn't lift it in one breath, and he was stuck in his throat, and it took several exhalations and inhalations to stabilize it.
I also feel that what Yu Shi said is not unreasonable, and those words are not so simple just by listening.
When his mother was talking to Yu Shi, she drove him and Meng Huan out of the flower hall first, that must be because she didn't want his brothers and sisters to know, even if Yu Shi didn't want to hide it from his brother and sister, it would probably be because of his mother's attitude, and she wouldn't easily explain it to him.
In this way, the stuffiness in Meng Jun's chest suddenly disappeared, and he said with a soothing face:
"Cousin Yu doesn't say it, and I don't force it, but in the matter of my father's desire to divorce my mother, I ask Cousin Yu to bother more!"
Even if Meng Jun doesn't say it, Yushi won't let it go:
"Cousin Meng, don't worry, I will go to my uncle's side and say it, I will never really let my uncle divorce my aunt."
failed to find out what Yao Meiling deliberately concealed from him, and Meng Jun also knew that Yu Shi had a tolerance to do when he came to Nanli Mansion, and he didn't stay much at the moment.
It's just that when Yu Shi was about to say goodbye, Meng Huan personally carried a food box to the small garden, and said softly to Yu Shi:
"Cousin Yu, this is the crispy lotus cake I made with my own hands, and I also know that my cousin is busy with official business, and he must not be able to stay for a long time, so people hurriedly packed the food box and brought it over, and asked my cousin not to dislike it!"
At the end, Meng Huan's face was already flushed, and he was too ashamed to look at people, only staring at the pomegranate ruby sewn on the tips of his satin shoes.
Yu Shizi has no reason to refuse, and she understands Meng Huan's thoughts.
Not only did she understand it, but Meng Jun and Lian Cheng on the side also lit up in their hearts.
What did Meng Jun think, Yu Shi didn't see it on his face, but what did Liancheng think, just looking at his uncomfortable face and desperately trying not to smile, she knew what Liancheng thought!
After leaving the Meng Mansion, Yu Shi turned over and got on his horse, ignoring Liancheng who was carrying a food box behind him.
Liancheng followed closely behind Yu Shi, and seeing that Yu Shi had already gotten on his horse and wanted to leave, he hurriedly asked:
"My lord! This food box ......"
Yu Shi said angrily: "Pick it up!" ”
After sending off the jade pick, Meng Jun and Meng Huan went back to the backyard.
Looking at his blushing sister on the road, Meng Jun thought for a while and said:
"Cousin Yu is the same age as me, except for the son of the prefect of Nanli, I am just a showman, but Cousin Yu has already been a dignified Jinyi Wei Qianhu, which can be described as a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is born with such an amazing good appearance, and the commander of Jinyi Weiluo and the master of Dongchang Meng are called Chujing Sanmei......"
It's a pity that he hasn't finished mentioning the point openly and secretly, and has been interrupted by Meng Huan, who secretly promised his heart, and said cautiously:
"What is my brother talking to me about? Jade cousin...... It's good! ”
Meng Jun sighed.
Forget it, anyway, his cousin of the Yu family will come to Mengfu, and it is also for his father's desire to divorce his mother, as long as this matter is resolved, his sister probably won't have much chance to meet that cousin of the Yu family of Zhilan Yushu.
Although he also hopes that his sister can get what she wants, but a wish is a wish after all, and it will never become a fact.
When Meng Jun thought of Yu Shi, his hand couldn't help but touch the forehead corner of his right eye.
He, the cousin of the Yu family, was able to become a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and it seems that it was not entirely due to the ancestral shadow of the generations of military households of the Yu family.
Yu Shi and Liancheng did not return to the Jinyu Inn, but rode straight to the Nanli Mansion on horseback.
When he arrived, he happened to meet Meng Liangcai and hurriedly left the office, and was instructing him to return home in advance.
"You say...... Who's coming? ”
The official had no choice but to give it again: "My lord, that person said that he was the nephew of the adult, surnamed Yu." ”
Meng Liangcai has many nephews, but he only has one nephew surnamed Yu!
If it weren't for the fact that the housekeeper outside the front yard of the house saw Yu picking up the door, and hurriedly burned the fire to report to him, he would really miss this nephew Qianhu.
Ignoring the matter again, Meng Liangcai took three steps and made two steps, and hurried to the hall where the government was meeting guests.
After entering the hall, seeing the ceremony, and serving the fragrant tea, Meng Liangcai waved back from the waiters, leaving only Yushi, Liancheng and him in the hall.
Meng Liangcai had long heard that his wife was the nephew of the Yu family, and when they met today, they immediately felt that they really lived up to their reputation, such appearance, bearing, and demeanor were one in a million, and then recalled that among the children of the Meng family today, none of them could compare to one in ten thousand.
At a young age, it is rare to be able to mix with a thousand households in the Jinyi Wei Yamen in Beijing!
I also thought that my son Meng Jun was also the same age as Yushi, but now he is still just a title of showman, and there are less than two months left before the autumn season, and I don't know if the bad son can come back with a fame, not to seek to get the first place, just hope to enter the top three, and not fall off the list.
Yu Shi didn't know that Meng Liangcai compared her with Meng Jun, and even with the children of the Meng family.
She saw Meng Liangcai carefully looking at her, and the expression on her face changed frequently, admiring for a while, frowning for a while, it was really mixed, and she didn't know what she was thinking, her emotions were so ever-changing.
Lian Cheng sat in the circle chair with a tea bowl with blue and white entwined lotus, and tasted it leisurely, and the food box sent by Meng Huan rested on the table next to him, just between him and Yu Shi.
Meng Liangcai was thinking about what he was thinking, and he didn't bother to guess, he only thought in his heart that the adults of his family didn't know what to do with the crispy lotus cake made by Miss Meng's own hands, which was full of Meng Huan's affection.
After a few words of homely work, Yu Shi got straight to the point:
"Presumably my uncle understands in his heart what happened when my nephew went to the mansion to see my uncle this time."
Meng Liangcai saw that Yu Shi directly picked it out, although he was not pleased that Yu Shi reached out to take care of his housework, but he also understood that Yu Shi was his wife's nephew after all, and he heard that before Yu Shi's mother and his wife were out of the cabinet, it can be described as a deep sisterhood.
There was no annoyance at the moment, but the enthusiasm on his face faded a little, and Meng Liangcai said lightly:
"Since Brother Shi'er came here for your aunt's business, does Brother Shi'er know why Uncle wants to divorce your aunt?"
Seeing Meng Liangcai acting like this, Liancheng couldn't help but glance at Meng Liangcai, his heart was really upright, and he was so calm and calm when he knew that Yushi was sent by Jingzhong, and he was really straight.
Yu Shi saw Meng Liangcai's attitude, and listened to his rhetorical words, his heart was a little relieved, it seems that it is really as Luo Gong said, Meng Liangcai did not do anything wrong, so he is naturally not afraid.
Then the case of Tongqian Zhixian County, this will not be the majority, but it can definitely have nothing to do with Meng Liangcai.
Thinking like this, Yu Shi's heart was relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face:
"I know, it's also my aunt's lack of consideration in doing things, and my uncle will worry about affecting the clan and have the idea of divorce from his wife, which is understandable, so I naturally respect all my uncle's decisions."
Respect his decision?
That is, don't persuade him to stop Yao Meiling?
Meng Liangcai couldn't figure out the meaning of Yu Shi's words, so he couldn't help but be silent, waiting for Yu Shi to say it.
Yu Shi paused, and then continued:
"I only ask my uncle, but my uncle really wants to divorce my aunt?"
This is to ask him if he has a place to turn around.
Meng Liangcai's heart was bright, and he thought about it again, although he couldn't think of what would be the result of Yu Shi's words, he really didn't really want to divorce his wife.
Yao has followed him for nearly 20 years, has a good family, never commits seven rules, has always been a model of a good wife and mother, if it weren't for such a foolish thing, he would never have the idea of divorce his wife for the rest of his life.
But if he doesn't divorce his wife, once the foolish thing done by the Yao family happens, don't say that he is the Meng family, which is the Yao family, and he will also have to bear the trouble.
He is not considered the pillar of the clan, but he has never brought any trouble to the clan, he has been appointed as the prefect, and his political achievements have not been made, and he has never been, if he is really tired of the Meng family because of the Yao family's temporary confusion, then he Meng Liangcai will become the sinner of the ancestors of the Meng family!
No, absolutely not!
But whether he really wanted to divorce the Yao family, Meng Liangcai didn't want to tell this lie in front of Yu Shi, so he couldn't help sighing:
"Your aunt has been marrying me for so many years, I have no ability, and the Meng family has never planned for me, which is naturally also because of my lack of ability, and the Meng family has not really been able to use the power of the people in the court, so for many years, every time the term of office comes, the lack of officials in Beijing is not my turn, your aunt has followed me around for many years, and I have not enjoyed much happiness, but she has suffered a lot of hidden losses, but she has never complained, I respect her in my heart, I want to be safe with her for a hundred years, where will I really want to divorce your aunt!"
It was in front of Yu Shi that he would say this.
One is that Yu Shi is not an outsider, and it is related to Yu Shi's aunt, Yu Shi came to the door directly to ask, even if he really wanted to leave Yao's family, why couldn't he explain it to Yao's nephew?
The second is that Yu Shi is now in an important position, that is, the emperor in Beijing is directly under the pro-army Jinyi Guard, and it is one of the top differences assigned by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Tongqian Zhixian case, although he is dull, but he is also the prefect of Nanli Prefecture, Zhusha County is one of the lower counties under his jurisdiction, the Tongqian Zhixian case is bad, how can he not know at all, the abnormality, he smelled a little bit, but he couldn't move, there was no way.
