said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and these people next to him were discussing the marriage of Fu Zheng and Zhou Suqing, and Zhou Suqing arrived. Jewel green weaving silver silk tuft flower gown, goose yellow long skirt, the whole person standing there, is the fairy Ting.
"Sister Ru." She handed over the gift.
Zhou Suqing's congratulatory gift was a danqing, and she complimented: "I don't dare to use vulgar things like rouge gouache gold and silver jewelry to show ugliness when I know that Sister Ru likes calligraphy and painting." β
Mei Ru didn't need her to lift up, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou is polite, in fact, I like those mundane things the most." β
Zhou Suqing has long been accustomed to Mei Ru's choking, even if she is not very happy in her heart, she will not show half a point on her face, otherwise the gentle reputation she maintains will not be ruined by Mei Ru? Zhou Suqing also smiled lightly: "Since Sister Ru said so, then I will remember it next time." β
"Sister Zhou, come in and talk." Mei Qian stepped forward and interrupted the two people's open guns and hidden arrows at the right time.
Mei Ru looked at the second sister embarrassedly, Mei Qian winked at her, and the two sisters rarely smiled at each other.
Meng Yunlan arrived the latest today. Mei Ru was curious: "You came the earliest in the past, what is going on today?" β
"It's not my brother yet!" Meng Yunlan complained.
"Cousin Ann?" Mei Ru became more and more curious.
Meng Yunlan explained: "Last time, the second sister mentioned your small screen, and my brother went to Qibaozhai to inquire. When I inquired, I found out that there were two such tops in total. One was bought by His Highness Eleventh, and the other was bought by a wealthy merchant, and when my brother found out, he went to discuss with someone. It's hard to say, didn't you buy it back today? I'm too late. As she spoke, she asked the personal maid to hand the small screen to Jingqin, and gave her congratulatory gift to Mei Ru with her own hands.
This screen is a double-sided embroidery brought from an overseas ship, small, delicate, lifelike, as soon as it is placed on the case, it attracts everyone's attention.
Zhou Suqing walked over, and when she looked at it, she found that this was the same as the screen in Fu Zheng's study. Although that screen was a birthday gift from His Highness Eleventh to Fu Zheng, it was exactly the same as Mei Ru now, and she felt uncomfortable.
Mei Ru is a thorn in her heart.
The reason, in addition to Mei Ru fighting against her everywhere, is also because of Fu Zheng. Speaking of which, Zhou Suqing and Fu Zheng have known each other for many years, and she knows that Fu Zheng treats everyone one layer apart and is cold, but Fu Zheng is a little different from Mei Ru, she can feel it.
Glancing at Mei Ru again, Zhou Suqing pretended to be indifferent and said, "Meng Gongzi is really good to Sister Ru. β
Mei Ru sneered, this person dug a pit for her again, as if she had something to do with Cousin An! Unceremoniously brushed back, Mei Ru nodded calmly: "Sister Zhou's words are very right, Cousin An is very good." After a pause, she pretended to think of one thing again, and said with a smile: "I remember when Sister Zhou was Fangchen, His Royal Highness King Yan also sent a congratulatory gift, and His Royal Highness really had nothing to say to Sister Zhou." β
Why do you mention Fu Zheng, the main reason is that Mei Ru feels that his life is really a bit difficult.
Fu Zheng was punished by Emperor Yanchang, and it was when he desperately needed to borrow the power of Hefu, but Hefu ignored him and shelved the marriage, so that there was no one in the court, and it would be even more difficult for Fu Zheng to make a comeback.
Fu Zheng saved her life, and for her to fight against the prince, she was forced to retreat, Mei Ru deliberately mentioned a sentence for Fu Zheng now, which just provoked Zhou Suqing.
Listening to Mei Ru's words, Zhou Suqing's face was slightly red.
Fu Zheng came back from Xiqiang, and the two of them should have discussed marriage, but Mrs. He reminded Zhou Suqing a long time ago, asking her not to get too close to Fu Zheng for the time being, and wait and see the situation, so as not to involve the He Mansion. Therefore, after Fu Zheng returned to Beijing, she hadn't seen him yet.
Originally, when Fu Zheng was favored, everyone complimented her. Now that Fu Zheng has lost his favor, she has left him alone......
This choice is indeed correct in terms of the situation, but when Mei Ru said this, it was more like reminding everyone that she and Fu Zheng flew separately when the disaster came, and she was a villain with a red top and a white top.
Zhou Suqing was the most concerned about face, so she smiled reluctantly at this time and didn't answer Mei Ru's words.
Mei Ru didn't care either.
This is a bit shameless to say, but Fu Zheng is a shameless person who does whatever it takes, even if Mei Ru doesn't speak for him today, Mei Ru also believes that Fu Zheng will still think of seizing this marriage. He really needs the power of the He family too much, unless Fu Zheng doesn't want to make a big career in his heart.
If other people were used by Fu Zheng, Mei Ru would still have mercy, but Zhou Suqing and Mei Ru didn't have any sympathy.
She still remembered how this person had cut off the name of the child in her womb in her previous life, and Mei Ru still felt turbid in her heart when she thought about it now. She smiled coldly, and became more and more lazy to deal with Zhou Suqing.
After eating, the girls from each province said goodbye and went back in turn. Sister Juan and Sister Yan of He Mansion took the car in front, and Zhou Suqing took a car alone. Thinking of Mei Ru's words, and thinking of Fu Zheng, Zhou Suqing's face was still slightly hot. The whole capital knew that she was going to marry this person, but now that Fu Zheng was down, she ignored it, and when it was spread, she really couldn't maintain a good reputation......
Thinking about it like this, she went to Sixi Hall under the pretext of buying calligraphy and paintings.
The boss of Sixitang knew Zhou Suqing, and hurriedly welcomed her to the second floor. Zhou Suqing looked at a few calligraphy and paintings, and then made it clear to the shopkeeper: "I came today to ask His Royal Highness how his injuries are." And-" She paused for a moment and said: "Today, the third girl of Mei Fangchen, the second son of the Meng Mansion has tried every possible way to find a small screen with elegance, which seems to be similar to the one in His Highness's study, I really like it, I want to ask His Highness for a few days to go over and see, can you help me ask?" β
Regarding Zhou Suqing's matter, the boss didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent a clever one to Yanwang's Mansion.
Yan Wang's Mansion was already cold, but now that Fu Zheng has been punished again, it is even more deserted.
When the little guy arrived, Fu Zheng was painting in the garden. He has never recovered from the injury to his right shoulder, and he is still holding a pen in his left hand. On the ninth day of the first month of June, the summer heat is getting stronger, but he is still wearing a slightly thick home-style robe today, and the hosta is tied up in his hair, and the whole person is a lot less aggressive, adding some scholarly warmth.
Glancing at the visitor, Fu Zheng asked idly, "What's the matter?" β
The little servant replied: "Your Highness, Miss Zhou is here today." β
Fu Zheng didn't stop, only asked: "What did she say?" β
The little maid relayed Zhou Suqing's words to Fu Zheng as they were, and when he talked about the screen, he also said word for word: "Today, the third girl of Mei Fangchen, the second son of the Meng Mansion did everything possible to find a beautiful and elegant small screen......"
The pen in Fu Zheng's hand stopped, he raised his eyes coldly, snorted for a while, and smiled coldly with an expressionless face.
He looked down at the unfinished painting on the desk again. This is painted with his left hand, the hand is very raw, and the brushwork is astringent, which is simply humiliating...... She thought he was depressed, and she wanted to break up the relationship with him, Fu Zheng's heart hurt again, he crumpled the painting and threw it into the lotus pond in front of him, turned his head and ordered Shi Dong: "Send that screen." β
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Shi Dong wasn't sure, so he cautiously asked.
Fu Zheng's gaze poked cold and straight.
This person didn't need to speak, Shi Dong already knew the answer, and he hurriedly lowered his head and retreated.
Fu Zheng had a cold face, facing a pool of sword lotus, his face was calm.
β¦β¦
When she got up at dawn this day, Mei Ru found that someone brought in two baskets of green apricots and several melons, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Where did this come from?" Yichan replied: "The person from the concierge came over and said that someone outside had given a gift to the girl, and it was these melons and fruits. β
"Who sent it?" Mei Ru asked again.
Yichan replied: "The person who sent it didn't have a registration number, but only said that it was to celebrate the third girl's birthday." β
The green apricots are not lost, the melons are green and eye-catching, and this big summer makes people feel cool at the bottom of their hearts.
Mei Ru tasted an apricot, this green apricot was crisp and sweet, strange to quench her thirst. She was about to taste the second one, and Meng Yunlan also woke upβshe stayed in Meifu for the rest today. Seeing the pile full of apricots and melons, Meng Yunlan was also stunned: "Follow, who gave you this congratulatory gift, which is special enough?" β
Mei Ru shook her head.
Meng Yunlan suddenly smiled: "This weight seems to have been given by His Royal Highness the fool." "His Royal Highness the fool in Meng Yunlan's mouth is eleven. She spread her hands again and said, "That highness has four drawers of buns, isn't this apricot going to be sent in two baskets?" β
Thinking of the baskets of early apricots in Xiqiang, Mei Ru nodded and said, "It's really him." "It should be Fu Zhao who was busy and asked people to send it back. Thinking like this, Mei Ru was embarrassed to trouble him. Mei Ru said: "Yunlan, you can eat it too." She didn't know that she was going to eat those two baskets of apricots until the Year of the Monkey.
Meng Yunlan smiled and said, "Follow, this is what he gave you, what should I eat?" He smiled and counted: "You have already eaten other people's steamed buns, dried meat, and milk cakes...... Now there are still these piles of apricots, but they really want to be adults! β
She made fun of her, and Mei Ru also teased her: "Yunlan, I am frank with His Highness Eleven, but you, who are a 'person of other people' all day long, do you want to be a member of his family?" β
Meng Yunlan stomped her feet angrily: "Now I can't talk about you anymore." β
"The sum of several of us is indeed no more than the third sister." Mei Qian lifted the curtain and came in.
When Meng Yunlan saw that a helper had come, she hurriedly grabbed Mei Qian's arm and winked at Mei Ru proudly.
Mei Qian also saw those apricots and melons, and she was also curious: "Where did this come from?" Did my aunt order someone to buy it? β
"Not really." Meng Yunlan's mouth was fast, "It was sent by His Highness Eleventh." β
Mei Qian also looked at Mei Ru with a smile when she heard this, and she said: "His Royal Highness Eleventh still understands the preferences of the third sister, and one is allowed to give one away, and now that people are marching and fighting outside, they have not forgotten our third sister." He quipped again: "I'm afraid that there will be a princess in our house." β
