Chapter VII

The capital is so big, I am afraid that within two days, the matter of Mei Qian falling into the water will be known to everyone. Once this kind of thing is touched, the innocence of the girl's family will always be affected. Du had to pave the way for this beloved granddaughter in advance.

In Chunxi Hall, Du Shi sent out all the maids and mothers-in-law around him.

When only she, Mei Chen, and Xiao Wu were left, the old lady sighed faintly, and said to the two: "Listen to your sister-in-law, it was His Royal Highness King Yan who saved Ah You this time?" ”

"Exactly." Mei Chen responded, "My son is preparing to go to Yanwang's Mansion tomorrow to thank you." ”

Du Shi's face turned cold, and he said worriedly: "Now he has touched Ah You's body!" ”

This brings us to the concerns of several people.

For this matter, Mei Chen's two eyebrows have not been stretched all night, and Xiao Wu is even more anxious to sit still, crying I don't know how much.

"Mother, this His Royal Highness King Yan's appearance, character, and talent are all outstanding, and he is ......" Speaking of this, Mei Chen lowered her voice, extremely embarrassed, "It's just that your background is much worse." If it is hastily decided, it is really wronged by our Ayou. ”

Mei Chen's words refer to Fu Zheng's biological mother.

Fu Zheng is the seventh son of the current saint, and his biological mother is a beauty paid tribute by Fanbang. Occasionally, His Majesty was fortunate to give birth to Fu Zheng, and that beauty took advantage of this to become an nobleman. An Guiren later got the blessing of His Majesty two or three times, and then gave birth to the emperor's eleventh son, Fu Zhao. It's just that not long after giving birth to Fu Zhao, this An Guiren passed away. Because An Guiren's status is really low, and he has a peerless and charming face, the two brothers Fu Zheng are not very popular with the saints.

When Du Shi heard this, his face became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily at this time.

Mei Qian is the girl on the tip of her heart, she has been raised by her side for so many years, and it is too late to hurt, she can't wait to find the best man in the world to match, where can she casually have a lifelong event with an unfavored prince?

After thinking about it carefully, she said: "In this case, we must not be in a hurry, we can only wait for this matter to slowly subside." In addition, Chen'er, you will go to the Yanwang Mansion with your father in the past two days, and you will definitely thank Your Highness. The face is enough, and we are frank and open, so that we will not fall into the mouth, and we can leave a way back for Ayou. ”

Mei Chen nodded: "That's very good." ”

Du Shi is worried about Sister Qian'er, and he knows that there will be another trouble the next day!

I saw that Song Ping, the housekeeper in the house, hurriedly ran to Chunxi Hall to report: "Old lady, eldest lady, second wife, ...... outside" Speaking of this, his face was entangled, and Du Shi urged impatiently: "If you have something, just say it!" Song Ping hurriedly said: "Old lady, there are carriages and horses outside to deliver four drawers of vegetarian buns from Lianxiang Temple!" Said yes, said that it was sent by His Royal Highness the first eleventh in the palace. ”

When Du Shi heard this, he was immediately puzzled: "Why did His Highness Eleventh send four drawers of buns?" ”

Song Ping replied: "I didn't say the specific reason, but it was His Royal Highness who paid to the three girls in the house." ”

"Follow?!" Du Shi looked at Qiao Shi on the side and asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Qiao Shi also felt inexplicable, and hurriedly asked Mei Ru to come over for questioning.

Mei Ru is at Sister Qian'er in the back at this moment.

From yesterday's return to the present, Mei Qian has not been awake, her face is pale, there is no blood at all, she can only hang with ginseng soup, and she has been fed countless medicines, but it is not good.

Mei Yun is also there. Now that she saw Mei Qian's appearance, she turned her face away and quietly wiped her tears: "Sister Qian is such a good person, but she has to suffer these sins since she was a child, which is really distressing!" ”

Thinking of Sister Qian in her previous life, Mei Ru couldn't help but sigh deeply.

In fact, her second sister also didn't marry well, because she was born beautiful, she was favored by the prince in her previous life and became the crown princess. Who knew that after only half a year of marriage, the prince liked the new and hated the old...... If she can marry Fu Zheng, it should be a good marriage.

Thinking like this, Mei Ru looked at the man on the bed in a daze.

She secretly thought again, if the second sister in this life marries Fu Zheng, in this way, that person will ascend the throne as the emperor, and he will never copy the Mei Mansion again, right? As for the two of them, they eventually became married...... Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

With this thought, Mei Ru's heart still tugged uncontrollably.

She lowered her eyes and smiled astringently.

She's really the superfluous one......

Just a maid came over and said, "Third girl, the old lady called you over." ”

"What?" Mei Ru wondered.

The maid told me about the four drawers of buns.

When Mei Ru heard this, she couldn't help frowning, gritted her teeth and scolded secretly: "This Fu Zhao! ”

If the ancestor knew that she was arguing with those two, he was afraid of another punishment - Sister Ping would be punished for three days because of Mei Qian's falling into the water!

Mei Ru only felt upset, and hurriedly talked to Jingqin and Yichan, so as not to say anything when they asked separately.

When she arrived at Chunxi Hall, Mei Ru told her how she took two buns in Lianxiang Temple yesterday, and how she met His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness Eleventh, so she naturally skipped some "ugly" places and "beautified" herself a lot.

Du Shi raised his eyebrows, obviously puzzled: "Follow-up, you mean that His Highness the Eleventh ate your buns yesterday, so he specially sent four drawers as an apology today?" ”

Mei Ru nodded calmly.

Yichan, who was standing with her head hanging on the side, really wanted to laugh. Why is this mouth of my own girl so damaged? Yesterday he also said that the bun was fed to the dog, and today he actually lied and said that he was eaten by His Royal Highness.

Although these four drawers of buns were given nondescriptly, they were also given by nobles in the palace...... Du Shi frowned, turned his head and instructed Qiao Shi to let Mei Yin also follow the old lady and Mei Chen to Yanwang's mansion, and thank you for the buns.

After explaining the Qiao family, the old ancestor looked at Mei Ru and sighed again: "Go out and cause so many troubles!" Follow by, you will be more stable in the house for the past two days, and you will not be right or wrong! After that, he reprimanded the people below: "The girls in the house are all older, and now Sister Yun has just been engaged, and the next thing is Ah You and Xunxun, all of them are careful!" ”

Caught off guard when she heard the ancestor mention the future marriage, Mei Ru was stunned.

She has been married once, and she has failed so much, do she still want to marry in this life?

……

When Mei Yin came back from the yamen and heard about the four drawers of buns, he was also stunned: "How did Xun Xun get involved with His Highness Eleven?" ”

"That's it!" Qiao's frowned: "Originally, King Yan saved Sister Qian'er, and the old lady's brows couldn't be twisted, but now she is involved in a palace, and the old lady is worried at this time." ”

Hearing the worry in his words, Mei Yin said with relief: "I see that His Highness Eleventh is doing things like children playing around, how can it be that he has taken a fancy to Follow-up?" Besides, how old is it? You women tend to think too much. ”

"Twelve times!" Qiao Shi was dissatisfied, "In the blink of an eye, the New Year will be thirteen!" Master, you also know that the temper is not something that ordinary people can bear, so we have to quickly polish our eyes and pick one, and there will be some unsuccessful ones left in the province! ”

Mei Yin was only nodded by Qiao's words.

The two of them kept warm for a while, and then he suddenly sighed again: "The ones that come out of the palace are too complicated, and they are not suitable for us to follow at all, so it is better to be simpler." ”

"Isn't it?" Qiao Shi said, and he had already begun to calculate the number one person in the capital in his mind.

I heard Mei Yin ask again: "How is Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law?" ”

"What else?" Qiao's spread his hands and told him about going to Lianxiang Temple yesterday. She originally expected Master Jingming to be able to point out one or two of her daughter-in-law, but she was familiar with Master Jingming and only glanced at Dong, didn't say anything, and left directly! Qiao Shi said angrily: "This Master of Pure Wisdom is too unkind! It's a waste of hundreds of taels of sesame oil money! ”

Mei Yin said worriedly: "Then you have to persuade Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law, she is a thoughtful person, and she is more and more worried about the province." ”

"Yes." Qiao Shi rolled over and muttered.

The next day, Mei Yin followed Mrs. Mei and her younger brother Mei Chen to Yanwang's Mansion.

When Fu Zheng was fifteen years old, he was crowned king out of the palace, and this Yanwang mansion was only repaired two years ago, although it was leaning on the imperial city, but the location was slightly off. Now there is one of his masters living in the house, there are no concubines, no concubines, and there are few maids and servants.

Mei Yin is the first time to come back to this Yan Palace. As the steward walked in, he looked all the way and secretly felt that this palace was a little bleak and desolate. After thinking about it again, King Yan is also a prince who is not very favored, if he is too ostentatious, he is afraid that it will be inappropriate.

Fu Zheng is wearing a snow-blue wide-sleeved collared robe today, with hollow lines, black hair tied with a gold crown, and a jasper jade belt. Seeing Mrs. Mei coming, he greeted him politely.

When Mei Yin saw it, he secretly thought, this Yan Wang's appearance and character are really good, but it's a pity that the old lady and his second brother can't look down on it.

A few people gossiped a little, and then went around to business.

Mrs. Mei used to lead the troops to fight outside, but now that she is old, she is living in the capital. This old man didn't have as many twists and turns as Du Shi's thoughts, he was a rough man, and he just thanked him.

But Mei Chen knew that he should make his words clear, so he thanked him again: "The prince is chivalrous and courageous, this disposition is really rare, and the lower officials thank the prince for saving him that day." ”

In these words, Fu Zheng was held, but Mei Qian was not mentioned, which meant that it was too obvious.

Fu Zheng pursed his lips and smiled faintly, and also greeted "Mei Hanlin is polite".

After that, he turned his head to look at Mei Yin, and Fu Zheng said: "I don't know that Mei Langzhong came to thank this king?" ”

Mei Yin was in the Ministry of Rites, and at this time he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord, the lower officials came to thank His Highness Eleven." ”

"Xie Zhao'er?" Fu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled.

Mei Yin said: "A few days ago, in Lianxiang Temple, His Highness Eleventh just ate two buns from the little girl, and he was tired that His Highness had always remembered it, and now he has sent four drawers of buns!" ”

"The eleventh brother ate it...... Three young ladies and two buns? Fu Zheng twisted his eyebrows, found a suspicious place, and asked, "Is this what the third lady said?" ”

Mei Yin laughed and said, "Yes, Lord Wang, please be sure to tell Your Highness, don't be so polite again." When my little girl saw it, she was really scared, and she didn't dare to do it. ”

Where does that little girl look like she is honest and scared, and she doesn't dare to be ashamed?

These nonsense really come with your mouth open!

Fu Zheng smiled coldly.

He didn't expose Mei Ru's lies, but said lightly: "Mei Langzhong, please also be sure to tell the third lady, don't mind, just eat the buns sent to the house." ”
