Chapter Ninety-Three: Auntie
got up early in the morning, and Yu Shi asked Liancheng to inquire about Yao Meiling's situation at Meng's house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lian Cheng knew what Yu Shi meant, and focused on inquiring about the careful thoughts of the Meng family's back house.
At the beginning of the hour, he went out to investigate, and came back at the end of the hour, and Liancheng went to the guest room where Yushi was:
"My lord, when the prefect of Meng was in office, he only brought Mrs. Meng and her children to office, and no one else."
So the Qui Ghost she imagined didn't exist at all?
Yu Shi asked, "It's so simple?" ”
Lian Cheng nodded: "It's very simple!" ”
Yu Shi asked again: "Meng Liangcai is going to divorce his wife, what is the situation of my cousin and cousin?" ”
Lian Cheng thought for a while and said: "Young Master Meng and Miss Meng don't agree with Governor Meng's divorce of Mrs. Meng, it's just that Governor Meng's temperament is very strong, even if it is a good thing to decide, it is probably useless to let Miss Meng cry to death!" ”
Shangshu handed over the sticker, and when he arrived at Meng's mansion at the next day, Meng Liangcai was still on an errand in the mansion, and he didn't deliberately wait for jade in the mansion.
Luo Gong had other things to do, Bing Wei followed him, and Lian Cheng followed Yu Shi to Mengfu.
As soon as he dismounted in front of the gate of Mengfu, he saw Yao Meiling, Meng Jun, and Meng Huan who had arrived at the Zhaobi early.
Yu Shi looked at her aunt, cousin, and cousin back and forth, and the three people on the opposite side also looked her up and down, especially Meng Huan, who was amazed in her beautiful eyes, and at the end she was ashamed, and her cheeks were red.
I have never seen it since I was a child, although I can see that Yu Shi is the leader and is her own nephew, but Yao Meiling still can't hide the caution in her eyes, until Yu Shi stepped forward and saluted:
"Auntie!"
This call pulled Yao Meiling's mind back from the edge of the sky, her eyes were still glued to Yu Shi's face, and she asked in a dumb voice:
"Are you really a picker?"
Yu Shi smiled: "I haven't seen my aunt since I was a child, isn't it Shi'er!" But this time Shi'er came to see her aunt, and her aunt had to forgive Shi'er, and she couldn't deny Shi'er! ”
was so deliberately amused by Yu Shi, Yao Meiling burst into tears and laughed, hugged Yu Shi and cried for a while, and finally Meng Jun reminded Yao Meiling softly:
"Mother! You can't just be happy, let's invite Cousin Yu to the hall to talk! ”
Meng Jun and Meng Huan had already greeted each other with Yushi, and as soon as Meng Jun spoke, Meng Huan, who was full of peach blossoms, also said softly:
"Yes! Didn't my mother prepare a chilled sour plum soup earlier, these six dog days, just for Cousin Yu to go to the heat! ”
Yao Meiling was also overjoyed, plus Meng Liangcai said that she would divorce her wife in the past two days, and there was no one to say about her grievances, and her mother's family was far away in Chujing, so she would see her nephew Yushi, who had never seen her since birth, she was both uncomfortable and very happy in her heart, and she was crying for a while, hugging Yushi, she felt like her sister-in-law was still alive, and then she lost her demeanor and lost her sense of proportion.
Fortunately, Meng Jun had already emptied the people at the Zhaobi, leaving only Yao Meiling's powerful housekeeper mother, his own little servant, Meng Huan's maid and other three subordinates, these three subordinates are all confidants of the three, but they will not spread the word, and they are not afraid that the gaffe of the dignified prefect's wife will be laughed at.
However, Yao Meiling's housekeeper's mother also wiped a few handfuls of tears.
Although Meng Huan's eyes were full of thoughts about the girl's family, they were also red and swollen, and even if he put on a thick layer of powder, it was difficult to hide the fact that he had cried.
Yu Shi looked at Meng Jun again, and found that although he was much calmer, his eyebrows were also hiding a little melancholy, and it seemed that Meng Liangcai's words of divorce were mostly there was no room for change.
The flower hall has prepared food to understand the heat, not only the chilled sour plum soup, but also pumpkin and mung bean soup, and various seasonal melons and fruits washed with well water and cut into small pieces.
Entering the flower hall, Yu Shi introduced Liancheng to Yao Meiling again, and when she heard that Liancheng was a hundred households in Jinyiwei, Meng Jun and Meng Huan hurriedly greeted each other.
Yao Meiling is the prefect's wife, so she doesn't have to salute Liancheng, but Liancheng salutes her, and she is short and lightly blessed and returns a half-salute.
This half-courtesy Liancheng can bear, after all, he is a Beijing official, and he is also a pro-army Jinyiwei directly under the emperor, don't say that it is Yao Meiling, that is, Meng Liangcai, the prefect of the fourth official, has to be polite to Liancheng.
The five of them quickly sat around the table, and only Yao Meiling's housekeeper's mother and Meng Huan's maid were left waiting in the hall, and Meng Jun's little servant was guarding the corridor outside the hall.
After all, it's not really homely, Yu Shi drank half a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and answered some chores at home with Yao Meiling over the years, and she began to get straight to the point:
"Auntie, I went to the Huanxi Building in my aunt's marriage in Zhusha County, does my aunt know?"
should know, but she still has to ask, after all, the woman in the house, if someone wants to hide from Yao Meiling, it will be an easy matter.
What's more, the fact that she had been to Huanxi Building was just yesterday, if it reached Yao Meiling's ears more slowly, it would not be a big deal.
Yao Meiling was stunned for a moment, and then took Yu Shi's hand, as if she didn't know where to start, and looked like she couldn't speak.
But Meng Jun opened his mouth: "Mother already knows, and father also knows about this." ”
Meng Huan was even more quick-mouthed: "Just because my father also knew that Cousin Yu had been to Huanxi Building, my father didn't force my mother anymore, otherwise it would have been yesterday ...... Yesterday, my father wrote a letter of resignation! ”
In the end, he choked up, pinched the brocade and wiped his eyes.
Yu Shi's face sank, looked at the delicate Meng Huan wiping her small tears, and then looked at Meng Jun, who was indeed as handsome as rumored, and saw that his eyebrows were not spread, and she looked sad, she held Yao Meiling's hand with her backhand:
"Aunt, my uncle is in such a hurry to divorce his wife, but because of the conspiracy between Tian Daming, the shopkeeper of Huanxi Building, and Yu Keqiang, the richest man in Zhusha?"
Yao Meiling's hand held by Yu Shi couldn't help but tremble: "You...... You know it all? ”
Yu Shi nodded, and then looked at Meng Jun and Meng Huan, but saw that both of them looked at their aunts and nephews inexplicably.
Meng Jun's eyes widened: "Mother, what does Cousin Yu mean by this?" ”
The father wants to divorce his mother, how can he be involved in the mother's wedding teahouse?
Or is it the richest man in Tian's shopkeeper and Zhu Shayu?
What about the conspiracy?
Meng Huan also looked at Yao Meiling in disbelief: "Mother ......"
She always thought that her father was going to abandon her mother, because her father had a new love outside, and she had the idea of marrying another person.
So since her father said that she would divorce his wife, she desperately stopped her father, and she almost couldn't get up on her knees, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but what did she hear?
What Tian Daming conspired with Yu Keqiang?
When Yu Shi saw the reactions of Meng Jun and Meng Huan, he knew that the two of them were completely ignorant of the inside story.
She never thought of hiding it for Yao Meiling, after all, she had to find out whether the matter was true or false, so she said that she would come out unabashedly, and she also caught Yao Meiling off guard.
If Yao Meiling really did something that she shouldn't do, then it was useless for her to hide it, sooner or later Meng Jun and Meng Huan should know, and they will finally know.
If Yao Meiling didn't do such a thing, but was just bewitched and used by someone with a heart, then as soon as she said it, it would also give Yao Meiling a chance to defend herself.
But when she watched Yao Meiling not want to answer Meng Jun and Meng Huan's questions, but instead expelled the two from the flower hall, Yu Shi's heart sank vigorously and sank to the bottom.
Liancheng has been quiet, and he didn't even make a sound when he drank pumpkin mung bean soup, which was very different from his usual behavior of eating meat and drinking a lot.
But there is no way, the faces of the thousands of adults in his family are so heavy that they can drip ink.
After Yao Meiling drove Meng Jun and Meng Huan, together with the housekeeper's mother and Yahuan out one by one, her eyes fell on Liancheng, and the meaning was extremely obvious.
It's not that Liancheng doesn't know, it's just that he only listens to Yushi alone, and even the supreme commander of their Jinyi Guard Yamen, Luo Commander, he doesn't necessarily listen to all of them, let alone just the wife of the prefect?
Even if Yao Meiling is Yushi's aunt, he has to wait until Yushi asks him to listen to Yao Meiling, and then he will look at Yao Meiling's eyes and act.
Liancheng was unmoved, Yao Meiling couldn't, so she had to move her gaze back to Yushi:
"Shi'er, even hundreds of households have worked hard, it's better to ......"
Yu Shi interrupted Yao Meiling's intention to let Liancheng withdraw, and her tone was steady:
"No need, Liancheng is someone I can trust, there is nothing I can listen to, Liancheng can't listen, my aunt just rest assured."
Yu Shi insisted, Yao Meiling couldn't.
Liancheng listened to Yu Shi's affirmative words, although it was not the first time he knew that Yu Shi had full trust in him, but when he heard such words again, he still made his heart so beautiful that it could bloom and bloom in his heart.
Yao Meiling had no scruples, and took out something from her sleeve pocket:
"You suddenly handed over the worship sticker last morning, which really scared my aunt, but I also know that you came this time, not for no reason, I am both happy and worried in my heart, even your uncle and I dare not send someone to report, but issued an order, not to pass on the matter of your delivery of the worship sticker to the government! But I can't hide it, probably your uncle-in-law will come back from the government soon......"
It turned out that this was the real reason why Yu Shi didn't see Meng Liangcai.
Yao Meiling handed the things in her hand to Yu Shi, and said:
"This is your Shixiong's cousin's Pisces jade pendant, a few months ago, I suddenly received this jade pendant and a letter, saying that if I don't do it, they will not only kill Shixiong, but also make the Yao family have no place in Chujing from now on!"
Yu Shi took the Pisces jade pendant, the jade pendant is mutton fat white jade, and Pisces is even more subtle, she remembered that Yao Shixiong, who had a blue nose and swollen face with Mo Yanhui in Yixiang Restaurant, he ranked second in the Yao family:
"What happened to the second cousin?"
It was a few months ago.
She remembered that nothing major had happened to Chu Jing at that time, but even if it was about the Yao family's children outside, it was not surprising that she hadn't heard it.
Everyone knows that the Yu family and the Yao family have not been in contact with each other for many years, even if anyone in the yaya hears any rumors, they don't dare to come to her, and let her know.
Thinking like this, Yu Shi couldn't help but look at Liancheng.
Liancheng raised his eyes from the pumpkin: "My lord, I don't know!" ”
That's right, because of her, Liancheng is almost indifferent to the affairs of the Yao family.
If Liancheng knew, he wouldn't have been able to reveal it to her.
can ask Yao Meiling, but she also shook her head and said that she was not very clear, but after she received an inexplicable letter, she went back to Yao's house with Chu Jing:
"Although I don't know the specific situation, when I returned to Yao's house, Brother Xiong'er was already dying, and he barely had half a breath left, and he was hanging with ginseng day and night!"
Later, after being bedridden for nearly half a year, Yao Shixiongfang returned to his vigorous appearance.
Isn't it a living tiger?
Yu Shishang remembered that more than a month ago, Yao Shixiong scolded Mo Yanhui's arrogance:
"Didn't the second uncle tell my aunt? Didn't my aunt tell the two uncles about the inexplicable letter? ”
Yao Meiling said: "Where can you not say this? As soon as I entered the door, I first went to see Brother Xiong'er, and then I told your uncles about the letter, now it is your eldest uncle who is in charge, although Brother Xiong'er is your second uncle's son-in-law, but also your uncle's nephew, there is no reason not to know! ”
Yu Shi frowned: "That is the case, there is no reason for the two uncles not to tell their aunt about the ins and outs, even if they don't go into detail, just talk about a rough idea, isn't it?" ”
Yao Meiling didn't know that the situation was serious, and all along, she only thought that she was doing some private things for the powerful in Beijing, no matter how bad it was, it was just some things that did not see the light of day in business, but since she heard the news of Tian Daming's death at home last night, no matter how simple and stupid she was, she knew that something was wrong.
So overnight, he asked the son of the trustworthy family to ride a fast horse to Chujing and send a letter to the Yao family, explaining that her side was a matter of life.
After a sleepless night, she realized from the grief that she might have been abandoned by Meng Liangcai, and maybe she was to blame for all this!
As Yu Shi said, she wiped away her tears and began to think carefully about how her two cousins had told her and begged her a few months ago, and even her second brother knelt on the ground and begged her, saying that if she didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
Her eldest brother did not kneel down to her, but he was also sincere, and even promised that as long as she helped them this time and helped Yao Shixiong and the Yao family through this difficulty, he would use all the financial resources of the Yao family and the children of the Yao family who were officials in the court to pave the way for the Meng army.
In order for Meng Jun to take the test in the autumn of this year, he will take Meng Jun into Beijing, and invite the retired master of the Hanlin Academy to teach Meng Jun, in order to get the spring exam next year, Meng Jun can enter the top three, and then embark on a career and seek a good future from now on!
After hearing this, Yu Shi couldn't help but reprimand softly:
"Aunt is confused! My uncle is already the prefect of the fourth grade, will my uncle's connections be less than that of the Yao family? What's more, the Meng family is also in Beijing, and the children of the Meng family are more officials in the court than the Yao family, and their official positions are much higher than those of the Yao family. ”
Lian Cheng nodded again and again, this aunt of his family was really confused, no wonder Meng Liang wanted to divorce her.
When the dot was connected to the third time, Liancheng was coldly glanced at by Yushi, and quickly straightened his head that was automatically clicked on and down, and froze still.
There is no need for Yu Shi to scold, Yao Meiling will already regret that her intestines are green, she has no face to say, her eldest brother also promised to make a good family for Meng Huan in Chujing.
Seeing Yao Meiling wiping her tears and her face full of remorse, Yu Shi no longer scolded her for anything, and only asked with a tightness in her chest:
"Uncle knows the reason for this?" (To be continued.) )
