Chapter 21: Homecoming

As soon as the carriage stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mother Meng and Uncle Meng hugged each other, muttering about how he had lost weight like this in the past few days, and the corners of Uncle Meng's mouth quietly formed a few clear blood blisters, and he cried out in pain as soon as he spoke.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Meng Fan understood in his heart that Uncle Meng attached great importance to him, after all, since he was a child, this uncle has treated Meng Fan like his own child, and his mind is no less than that of his own child. However, because of her intimacy, she was also used to talking to her uncle like this.

"It's not all because of you, in the days when you're away, those side people don't make a lot of trouble." Uncle Meng patted Meng Fan with his hand heavily, and whispered close to his ear: "Your mother has been worried for a few nights and has not slept for a few nights, you are not worried." ”

Meng's mother always quietly supported her daughter, and looked up from time to time at her daughter, who was now much taller than herself, with a worried face, but she never said a word, just watched silently.

Here Meng Fan was surrounded and entered, the old and young in the house came to say hello, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was so lively, the danqing in that hall was also polished, and even Xiao Jiu's shelves were replaced with new ones, Meng Fan asked the housekeeper, "Why are all the things in the house new?" ”

"Young master, Madam said that this can take away the bad ones, so I changed them in one breath."

Meng Fan nodded, sat down in the hall, her uncle sat against her, and Meng Mu just took a cup of tea and went to the kitchen to be busy again.

In the entire hall, there were only three people: Meng Fan, Uncle Meng and Li Yu.

Uncle Meng looked left and right, and asked quietly, "Fan'er, have you decided to assist the current prince wholeheartedly?" ”

Meng Fan nodded, she didn't explain too much to Uncle Meng.

"Fan'er, uncle doesn't want to stop you, but uncle wants to tell you, anyone can fight, you can't fight, you don't know the situation of our family, there are a few people who can speak in the court, and they are already public, if our family collapses at this time, the entire Meng family will completely fall into the hands of the side department, you know?" Uncle Meng said, looked outside the house and said, "You can't be the same outside as before, after all, it's a different day now." ”

Meng Fan nodded leisurely, indeed, it's a different day.

Then, Meng Yu led a delicate girl in, at this time, Uncle Meng was a little excited, and walked forward, who knew that he was angry when he looked at it.

"It turned out to be a girl from the Li family, go out, go out, my Meng family doesn't welcome people surnamed Li." As Uncle Meng spoke, the woman who bowed her head and was silent suddenly knelt on the ground, and a few loud kowtows called Meng Fan, who was originally very concerned about this matter.

"What is this?"

Meng Fan felt extremely familiar at the first glance at this girl, and after a closer look, the name had already fallen to his lips, but he couldn't call it.

"Meng Xiang, her name is Li Luying, and she is Li Min's little niece."

Meng Fan sighed, and walked over, ready to pull the woman up, but the woman kept kneeling there and did not move.

Uncle Meng was a little disgusted when he saw it, and said to the woman: "Lu Ying, Lu Ying, it's not that my uncle doesn't like you, you look at what your uncle has done to my family, we will never take care of your family's affairs." ”

As soon as Lu Ying raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, but she refused to fall for a long time in her eyes, and looked at Meng Fan and said: "The people's daughter asked the prime minister to save my family, what does my uncle have to do with my father's mistakes, why did I take my father into custody, why did my brother go to the prostitution, the people's daughter was wronged." ”

"No why?" Meng Fan stood up, but smiled: "Have you ever seen this world reason with you?" Get up! I can't save your family, even if you fall to your knees here, I can't do anything. ”

The tears in Lu Ying's eyes had already rolled out when she heard this, her hand firmly grabbed the corner of Meng Fan's clothes, her eyes always looked at her, and after a full moment, Lu Ying reflexively ran out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a resentful face.

Meng Yu behind him almost wanted to go, but was pulled over by Uncle Meng and said sharply: "The person in your heart you are talking about, is this?" ”

Meng Yu nodded slightly, Uncle Meng slapped him, his voice was very loud, the old man shook and said: "How many blocks are you going to add to your cousin, now if the Meng family marries the daughter of the Li family, what should outsiders say, how do you let your cousin deal with himself, ah!" ”

Meng Yu was silent, his eyes drifted to Meng Fan, as if begging Meng Fan for help.

Meng Fan had to pull Uncle Meng to say something else, during which Meng Yu sat in his position as if he was on pins and needles, Meng Fan looked at him and said, "Meng Yu went to the kitchen to see if the dishes were good?" ”

"Yes, I'll go." Meng Yu got up and walked out.

Uncle Meng wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Meng Fan.

"Uncle, don't go, the young man can't let go, so he has to make him sad if he asks for it, let him deal with it himself!" Meng Fan said and helped Uncle Meng to the house.

When it was time for dinner, Meng Yu hurried back, his face was red, and he only said that he was accidentally burned.

Meng Fan took him the medicine and didn't ask any more.

"Fan'er, after you come out, do you have to deal with the relationship with the new emperor well?" Uncle Meng asked, chewing something in his mouth.

Meng Fan said with a smile: "Good life, good life, must be good life." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Meng smiled heartily and ate a lot more happily.

Compared with the harmony of the Meng family, the East Palace is doubly desolate, and the little man is clumsily weaving lanterns for his master, complaining a few words from time to time, and starting to play it again and again.

"Master, since the case is understood, hasn't the emperor allowed you to leave the palace? How do we get to the Lantern Festival? ”

The prince had half a grass in his mouth, and looked at the half-zhang high city gate, which was also difficult, why didn't he learn kung fu with the prince at the beginning, and now he wants to go out to play.

"Two guards, this wall is so high, do you have the strength to go?"

The two Meng family soldiers who were guarding the door nodded violently.

Gu Zhikai smiled, patted Xiao Dezi and said, "Remember that they are two lanterns, and they look better." ”

"Your Highness, the minions don't need to carry lanterns."

"Who said it was for you, I gave it to my wife."

“……”

The two voices of the little son are still honestly weaving the lanterns, not to mention how aggrieved they are.

And the second day was the day when the Li family was distributed, and part of the Li family was banished to the border, and at this time, Meng Fan also made a decision to release more than 80,000 members of the Meng family's army back to the border, leaving only 20,000 people to protect peace.

These two teams drove away in a majestic way, but they attracted everyone to watch.

"Meng Qi, as the deputy general of the Meng family's army, you have to know the purpose of this."

"Meng Qi knows, the prime minister can rest assured." Meng Qi, who replied, was promoted by Meng Fan in the side lineage, because he was lonely and widowed since he was a child, so he grew up beside Meng Fan since he was a child, and he was a person that Meng Fan could trust.

"Then stay at the border, you don't have to worry about Kyoto, have a smooth journey." Meng Fan didn't say more, she knew that at this time, there should be people around her around the emperor, so it was better to say less.
