This time she hurriedly returned to Beijing, and Mei Ru looked at the second son of the Duting Marquis Mansion, surnamed Ruan, ranked fourth, one year older than Mei Ru, and now she is still studying in the academy.

The two families made an appointment to go to the Lianxiang Temple outside the city.

In the house, Qiao's told Mei Ru many times, and a few words over and over again were nothing more than to follow the rules in everything, don't mess around with petty temperament, don't talk with that mouth, and scare others away. "Yes, yes." Mei Ru agreed, but secretly exhaled a sullen breath.

The weather has entered autumn, Mei Ru is wearing a honey-colored jacket today, with a peach-colored cotton skirt underneath, combing an anti-curling bun, and standing there obediently and skillfully, it is really a joy, which makes people like it in their eyes. Qiao Shi was very satisfied, and Mrs. Ruan was also very satisfied, and pulled Mei Ru to ask for a long time, such as what she likes to eat, what she likes to do, and what she learned from Mr. Pingyang. Mei Ru answered them one by one, and Mrs. Ruan nodded, just a little bit about her showing up at a young age. Qiao Shi and Mrs. Ruan took another sip of tea, and a young man came in the side room—it was that Ruan Shilang.

You don't have to pick it clearly, this kind of thing is well known.

Ruan Shilang glanced at Mei Ru, and Mei Ru also glanced at him. The two of them looked at each other, like thieves, with indescribable embarrassment and embarrassment. Mei Ru turned her face away uncomfortably.

She has lived two lifetimes, and this kind of thing is really the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, and she has no experience. In her previous life, Mei Ru hung directly on Fu Zheng's branch, and she has lived for more than 30 years in this life, and the other party is still a half-grown boy, what does she see? It's really weird.

Moreover, Mei Ru has no interest in marrying anyone. When she thought of marrying and serving her in-laws, being set up rules, and serving this kind of hairy boy, Mei Ru had a big head, and the taste was really ...... It's hard to put into words. Married to Fu Zheng in her previous life, except for the incompatibility between husband and wife and the occasional thorn in Queen Li, everything else is good, no one sets rules for her, and no one asks her to get up early and be greedy to serve in the dark, she can do whatever she wants, comfortable and comfortable. Now those rules and regulations are like hoops, framed on the head, and the whole person is uncomfortable.

Mei Ru hung her head and wanted to sigh.

When the mother and daughter were alone in the house that day, Qiao Shi quietly asked Mei Ru: "What do you think?" ”

Mei Ru blinked and looked at Qiao Shi with some embarrassment.

"What? Didn't like it? Qiao Shi asked directly, and he felt curious. Qiao Shi took a closer look at that Ruan Shilang, that Ruan Shilang is not bad, although his appearance is a little worse, but he is a simple person, and Mrs. Ruan is also a kind person, and she will not be bullied if she marries in the past.

Mei Ru frowned, and said honestly: "Mother, it's not that I didn't like it, but I forgot what he looked like......"

Hearing this, Qiao's heart was stunned, and he directly poked Mei Ru's head with his finger: "You little conscienceless, you know how to change your way!" ”

Mei Ru hurriedly took her mother's arm and said, "I really forgot." ”

"Follow, do you have someone in your heart?" Qiao asked with a bluffed face.

Mei Ru's face turned red: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

"Since there isn't, then we'll settle on his family." Qiao's very neatly slapped the board.

Hearing this, Mei Ru was a little stunned. Thinking about it again, she really wanted to be tied to that half-grown child for decades, and she felt that she was very different, "Mother, don't you want to see more?" Mei Ruyang said.

Qiao sighed: "It's not for you?" "Then the prince is about to come back. Touching Mei Ru's head, Qiao Shi said softly: "Follow, if you really have any thoughts, tell your mother, your father and mother will not wronged you." ”

Her eyes darkened and darkened, and Mei Ru said, "Mother, I just don't want to marry." ”

"What a silly girl." Qiao Shi smiled, hugged her daughter again and said, "Don't worry, your parents are all picked for you." ”

"I know." Mei Ru lowered her eyes, her heart was still heavy, awkward and uncomfortable.

Qiao's movements were very fast, and Mei Xiang returned home only a day late, and heard that his sister's family affairs were almost decided. Thinking that on the way back, His Royal Highness King Yan had asked about this for His Highness Eleventh, Mei Xiang felt a little pity, but he couldn't say anything about his parents' orders.

Mei Xiang first went to greet his ancestors, and then went to Mei Yin's study. The father and son said a few words, and Mei Yin bombarded him to Qiao's yard. As soon as the mother and son met, Mei Xiang knelt down as soon as she lifted the hem of her clothes, and knocked her head several times. Qiao's eyes turned red, and he helped Mei Xiang to look left and right, but he couldn't help wiping his tears, and scolded fiercely: "You bastard, you haven't known to come back for so long!" ”

Knowing that her mother was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, Mei Xiang smiled and coaxed: "Mother, the child misses you outside." ”

When he smiled, several cuts opened on his face, and he became a rough man, where is he still like the original suave son? Qiao's eyes became more and more red, and he hugged him and cried for a while before being persuaded.

Sister Yue was led by the nurse, hiding by the curtain and quietly looking inside, not daring to come. Qiao said: "Oh, this is your daughter, go and take a look." Saying that, Sister Yue came in and looked up at this tall black man, a little timid.

Facing this soft villain, Mei Xiang squatted down and tried to talk: "Are you Sister Yue?" ”

Sister Yue nodded, and looked at him with dark eyes.

Mei Xiang said: "I'm your father." ”

Sister Yue still stared at him in disbelief.

Mei Xiang hurriedly took out a portrait from his arms, unfolded it and said to Sister Yue'er: "Look, is this you?" Daddy always has it with me. "The painting was a few years old, and now it's crumpled and stacked, and it's stained by the man's sweat. Mei Ru looked at it and couldn't help but have a sour nose. Sister Yue looked at the painting curiously, recognized it for a long time, grinned, and showed a few small baby teeth. Mei Xiang touched her head and held her in his arms.

Seeing this scene, Qiao's was about to cry again. After Mei Xiang, a fool, divorced his wife, he didn't marry a daughter-in-law, and he had many concubines under his knees, which was troublesome to talk about. As for Sister Yue'er, I don't know if she can be tolerated. Qiao Shi sighed, thinking about taking advantage of Mei Xiang's return to Beijing this time, he quickly arranged his family affairs, and the province had many long nights.

Sensing Qiao's thoughts, Mei Xiang argued: "Mother, I'm not in a hurry. ”

"I'm in a hurry!" Qiao Shi glared.

Mei Xiang stopped talking. Leaving Qiao's courtyard, he didn't go back to himself first, but went to cross the courtyard with Mei Ru.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Mei Ru was curious.

Mei Xiang said "um", and said indifferently: "I just remembered that when I left the pass, Hu Sanbiao asked me to bring the silver back." If it's convenient for you, send someone to his house these days. As he spoke, Mei Xiang put a bag of silver at Mei Ru's place and opened his eyes.

Mei Ru knew that her brother was embarrassed, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

……

Over there, I heard that Fu Zheng had returned to Beijing safely, and now he was entering the palace to meet him, Fu Zhao was very happy, and his heart was ecstatic. He couldn't hold it back, and ran to the south study to wait outside the south study, just when he saw the prince and Fu Zheng coming out of the study one after the other.

At first glance, when he saw Seventh Brother standing in front of him in a dignified manner, Fu Zhao's nose was sour. He was a big man, and he shed a lot of tears before, and it was really embarrassing to think about it now.

"Brother Huang." He first saluted the prince, and then looked at Fu Zheng, his eyes were red.

The prince's face was not very good, nodded, and left first.

It seems that the prince is deflated...... Fu Zhao winked at Seventh Brother, naughty to death. Fu Zheng pursed his lips and smiled faintly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and called, "Zhao'er." ”

"Seventh brother." Fu Zhao responded heartily.

The two brothers went to Fu Zhao's palace to sit for a while. Fu Zheng briefly said how he was injured and rescued by mistake, Fu Zhao gritted his teeth when he heard it, and he was furious: "Seventh brother, how is it now?" Your wound is not in vain. ”

"It can't be in vain." Fu Zheng sneered, his eyes were gloomy like a deep pool, and he raised his chin again and said, "Isn't he reprimanded now?" ”

"What's next?" Fu Zhao rubbed his hands.

Seeing that the eleventh brother was still so frizzy, Fu Zheng shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Let's go against yin and yang first." If my father wants to be harmonious, let's be harmonious. The lower we are, the more my father feels indebted to me. "How could he not take advantage of such a good thing?

Fu Zhao nodded, he was holding back another matter in his heart at this time, and asked, "Seventh brother, did you meet Follow-up when you returned to Beijing with the embassy this time?" ”

Fu Zheng was silent, picked up the teacup in his hand, and lifted the lid. The heat inside swirled out, and one of his eyes was hidden behind him, making it impossible to see clearly. After taking a sip of tea, Fu Zheng replied indifferently: "I did see her." ”

Fu Zhao hurriedly said: "Seventh brother, I heard that Xun Xun has been married in the past two days!" ”

Holding the teacup in his hand, Fu Zheng frowned, didn't he just look at each other? So fast...... He asked in a deep voice, "With whom?" ”

"Ruan Shiro of the Duting Marquis Mansion."

"Are you sure?" Fu Zheng was puzzled.

"Hmm." Fu Zhao drooped his head, very depressed, "I originally wanted to ask after I returned to Beijing......" He said and was so anxious that his face turned red: "Seventh brother, should I go and ask my father for marriage?" ”

Looking at the eleventh brother with fixed eyes, Fu Zheng put down the tea in his hand and sighed: "Bad people always have a bad marriage. ”

As soon as he said this, Fu Zhao's face became more and more red.

Seeing this, Fu Zheng continued: "That Ruan Shilang seems to be pretty good. Why, eleventh brother, you don't want her to marry someone else? As he spoke, Fu Zheng raised his eyes and looked over.

His eyes are dark, and he can look straight to the bottom of people's hearts, so that people can't lie. Although Fu Zhao was embarrassed, he still nodded.

Fu Zheng watched quietly, sighed again for a long time, and said, "We don't do the marriage of bad people, but someone can do it." ”

"Who?" Fu Zhao was curious.

Fu Zheng sneered, his eyes were gloomy again, and he said lightly: "Prince." ”

This bad guy, let the prince go, Fu Zheng sighed.
