Returning home from Mr. Pingyang, Mei Ru happened to meet her brother who was going out, "Brother, where are you going?" Mei Ru asked, if she wanted to go to Sister Yao's, she would have to pour some cold water on her.

Mei Xiang replied: "Go to the camp in the capital and have a look." "He has been waiting for that vacancy, although it is eight with the help of King Yan. Nine is not far from ten, but there is no definite belief, and people are always panicked for no reason.

Hearing this, Mei Ru was silent for a while, and said with relief: "I heard that my brother's order seems to be coming down in the past few days." ”

"Really?" Mei Xiang's face was overjoyed, and he immediately frowned and was curious, "Follow, how did you know about this?" ”

After a long silence, Mei Ru said embarrassedly and perfunctorily: "I heard about it from Mr. Pingyang." ”

Xu was aware of the embarrassment of Follow, and Mei Xiang knew that he was speechless, and he was embarrassed for a moment. Who else can listen to this matter? It must be His Royal Highness King Yan. He thought for a while, His Royal Highness King Yan asked to marry Xun Xun in order to tie up with Mei Mansion, and now it seems that His Royal Highness is really good to Mei Mansion, and when he saw Xun Xun, he also specially said this matter; But Mei Xiang raised his eyebrows for a while, now His Royal Highness is married to Xunxun, so wouldn't the three of them be embarrassed to see His Highness Eleventh in the future? He didn't have the embarrassment to think about it anymore, so he hurriedly stopped his thoughts, and Mei Xiang still hurried out of the house.

Mei Ru looked back at her brother's back, and when she turned her face, she was still embarrassed and embarrassed. In Mr. Pingyang's mansion before, she had wanted to leave for a long time, but Fu Zheng pulled her and said, "Aru, I still have something to tell you." Mei Ru's wrist was clasped by him, and she couldn't shake it off, she couldn't break it off, so she could only stare at him dryly, angry and not speak.

When she is angry, she still puffs out her face, and she looks delicate and savage. Fu Zheng smiled and took her to sit back. On the tea table next to the low steps were two small white porcelain cups that they had used. Fu Zheng added some tea, and Fang turned to Mei Ru and said, "Doesn't your brother want to stay in Beijing?" The order is coming down in the next few days. ”

Mei Ru kept a straight face for a while, and when she heard that it was her brother's business, her cold face finally eased a little. She said politely, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

"What are you doing with me?" Fu Zheng replied.

He said it very naturally, in fact, after the will of marriage, the two of them were tied together again in this life...... Mei Ru blinked and withdrew her hand. Fu Zheng's palm is warm, and his body is also warm - Mei Ru was afraid of the cold, and she loved to rely on him to keep warm when she was out on the march - but now Mei Ru always felt that this person was chilling. Even through the thick jacket in winter, the chill still penetrated into the jacket and seeped into the bones, which was so cold that she felt a little scared in her heart.

Now thinking of the chill, Mei Ru's wrist froze again. She caressed the place, slightly stunned.

Over there, Mei Xiang got the letter, so he naturally wanted to go to the Yan Wangfu to thank him first. Clinker Fu Zheng is not in the house. After waiting for a cup of tea, seeing that Fu Zheng had not come back, Mei Xiang left. He thought, anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future, and it is not too late to thank him slowly. What's more, on the birthday of the tenth ancestor in early February, the house will definitely invite His Royal Highness to come over, and when the time comes, I will thank His Highness with my father.

With such a decision, Mei Xiang slipped away to the Dong family to take a look. The man's shop was at the corner of the Hu family's street, and it seemed that he was planning to do some small business of his daughter's needlework jewelry. Mei Xiang never dared to approach, only dared to look at it from a distance, and then quietly watched the pair of master and servant arrive home safely. The wind and rain are blowing, and the thunder cannot be moved.

It's just that for so many days, except for the two words he said because of the marriage of the followers, he never said anything again. The Dong family dissociated himself from him, and Mei Xiang himself couldn't pull off this face.

After this day, Mei Xiang still stood in the distance and glanced at the past.

I saw that there were two people picking quarrels and provoking trouble in the unopened shop, which didn't seem to be a good thing! Mei Xiang frowned and stepped forward quickly. He was afraid of this kind of thing, the orphans and widows of the family were very easy to be bullied, especially the Dong family and Hesui were not mouthful, and they were women, and they were blocked by those guys at this time, and their faces were red with shame and anger, and they were so angry that they couldn't say a word. Seeing this, Mei Xiang's heart became more and more angry, he clenched his fists, lowered his face and snorted. The two second-rate sons were bluffed by him and ran away.

The shop was quiet, Mei Xiang was still clenching his fists, and he was angry, he said: "You don't have to come again tomorrow, I'll let someone who can run errands and read the accounts come over." ”

Dong avoided suspicion, and said from afar: "Thank you Uncle Mei for your kindness." After a change of words, she said again: "It's just that I have hired a person who runs errands to watch the accounts, so I don't have to bother Uncle Mei." ”

Mei Xiang was choked by her, and only said, "Who are you going to invite?" I'll check it out first. ”

Dong replied: "It was recommended by Mr. Zhou, a friend of Sanbiao, so you don't need to check." ”

"Which Mr. Zhou?" Mei Xiang asked uneasily.

Dong still said lightly: "You really don't have to bother Uncle Mei. ”

The two of them spoke like this, Mei Xiang was silent, and changed his words: "Then I will also recommend one, and bring it to you tomorrow, don't be in a hurry to settle it first." ”

Dong still refused: "I really don't need to." ”

She really wanted to get rid of him.

How could Mei Xiang not know? He said, "Anyway, I'll bring it tomorrow, and you'll talk about it later." With that, he turned and left. After taking two steps, Mei Xiang suddenly paused, he turned around and clasped his fists, and said, "Hu Niangzi, I have no other thoughts about you, and I am also a friend of Sanbiao." ”

This time, Mei Xiang hurriedly walked out of the shop and walked several streets before stopping again. The wind of the first month is cold, blowing on him, and it is cold.

As soon as he returned home, Mei Xiang was arrested by Qiao's again, he was a little impatient, Qiao's said: "I haven't seen you all day, it's easy to see you, I should always talk about it." ”

What does Qiao's want to say, Mei Xiang knows in his heart, Qiao's has already counted several in front of him these days, he sighed: "Mother, I really don't have any thoughts now, and I can't hurt others." ”

Seeing his uncompetitive appearance, Qiao's heart was furious, and he scolded: "There is always a time for you to eat bitter fruit!" ”

Mei Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly thought that in fact, he was bitter in his heart.

The next day, Mei Xiang got up early and led people to ride horses to Dong's shop.

It was very early and cold, only a few hawkers carried their burdens to sell, and there were few people entering the city, and one person was stopped at the gate of the city. Because the man was dressed very strangely, and he had two scars on his face. The city guards looked left and right for a long time, and asked fiercely, "Where did you come from?" ”

The man stroked his face, and replied in a rough voice: "Damn, I came back from running away from death!" ”

He was so fierce that the city guards were stunned for a moment, glanced at his waist card, and hurriedly let him into the city.

Over there, seeing Mei Xiang leading people over, Dong owed a debt, and said politely: "Uncle Mei, I have really invited a good person." ”

Mei Xiang was about to say something in a hurry, when suddenly, the Dong family on the opposite side was stuck there, looking out in a daze. Mei Xiang was stunned for a moment, and also floated along the line of sight. I saw a man standing outside the shop, dark and thin in the morning light, with two scars on his face and a deep wound on his neck. Dong's tears came out in an instant, and the man didn't speak, he walked in directly and hugged her hard.

Dong first cried silently, his body trembled terribly, and then he raised his face and cried bitterly.

The man hugged her tighter.

She tugged at the hem of his garment, and she clung to it.

Her face was buried back in his arms, whimpering.

Mei Xiang was stunned for a long time, he quietly turned his face away and retreated.

He said that they were fighting, and if they didn't find anyone for a day, they wouldn't believe that people died, and now Hu Sanbiao is back. He didn't have any reason to stay here anymore. The New Year was coming to an end, and he stood at the corner of the street, stunned, his eyes slightly red. Some are happy, and some are sad.

On this day, Mei Xiang returned home and went to Qiao's place first, and it happened that Meiru was caught by Qiao's to learn the rules again. He listened to the side for a while, and said with a smile: "Mother, follow the rules, I have something to say." ”

"What?" Qiao Shi and Mei Ru spoke in unison.

Mei Xiang said lightly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Beijing again." ”

"How is that possible?" Mei Ru was surprised. Fu Zheng told her so, there will be nothing wrong with what he promised.

Mei Xiang sighed, the corners of her mouth pursed and she still smiled: "It's just that something went wrong." After a pause, he said again: "Mother, I will go back to the camp after the first month, this time I have been back to Beijing for a long time, and I am afraid that it will not work if I don't go back." The marriage will be put on hold until the next time I come back. ”

Qiao's eyes were already red, and she said, "This is too sudden......"

Mei Xiang didn't bother to speak anymore, so she only went back to her yard.

Mei Ru was stunned for a long time, came out of her mother's place, and went directly to her brother's yard. Today's weather is good, Mei Xiang is playing with Sister Yue in the yard. Seeing Mei Ru coming, he knew what she was going to ask, so he asked the nurse to hug Sister Yue'er down, and said directly: "Don't ask anything if you follow the rules, it's not a big deal if you can't stay in Beijing, and after coming back for so long, I still wonder about the desert." He said and smiled at Mei Ru. This smile was faint, like the rough sand in the desert, full of wind and frost, but it still had to comfort her.

Mei Ru saw it in her eyes, and suddenly she couldn't ask anything, and her heart was only a little astringent.

Her good brother, she really can't bear him.

After the first month, Mei Xiang left Beijing. He rode away alone, without looking back.

Mei Ru was worried about her brother, and she wanted to ask Fu Zheng about what was going on in the middle, but she was really uncomfortable seeing this person. In this way, it was delayed until the ninth day of the second lunar month, and Mei Ru got the news of Fu Zheng, and it was Sister Ping who told her, Sister Ping said: "Third sister, I heard that His Royal Highness will come to the mansion tomorrow." ”

Mei Ru was startled, and said with a frown: "What is Your Highness doing?" ”

Sister Ping said with a smile: "Naturally, I came to congratulate my ancestor on his birthday." ”

The tenth day of February is Mrs. Du's birthday, which will be held in previous years, but Fu Zheng has never been invited. Now that she suddenly knew that Fu Zheng was coming, Mei Ru still frowned.

She and Fu Zheng got married in May, and it was very appropriate for the Guogong Mansion to invite her future uncle. Fu Zheng is willing to come, which is also the dignity of the Guogong Mansion. But at the thought of Fu Zheng coming to the mansion to pay respects, Mei Ru's eyebrows frowned even tighter. In his previous life, Fu Zheng would also go back to her house to pay respects to her birthday, but many times, it was just because it was possible to see the second sister or hear a little news from the mouths of others...... Those things were a thorn in her heart. Mei Ru lowered her face.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, Mei Ru followed Qiao's to Chunxi Hall in the morning to pay homage to her birthday. The brothers in the second room, Mei Qian and Mei Ping are already there. After everyone finished saying the auspicious words, Song Ping's family hurriedly came over from outside and said: "Old lady, eldest wife, second wife, His Royal Highness King Yan came down to congratulate him on his birthday, and he also specially sent coral, and now the eldest master and the second master are accompanying in front." ”

Hearing Fu Zheng coming, Mei Ru stood beside her, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, this person came early! Before anyone from the Meng Mansion arrived, he came first.

I heard the old lady say: "Come and welcome Your Highness, don't slack off." ”

Mei Ru quietly twisted her eyebrows, and quietly looked at the second sister. And Mei Qian just stood beside her in a regular manner, with no expression. Mei Ru lowered her eyes, not very comfortable.
