Meng Huoran hurriedly returned home, there was no more stability along the way, and even if he met a familiar subordinate, he did not stay to talk or smile and nod as before.

Seeing this, the subordinates all hid aside suspiciously, speculating whether something big had happened in the house.

"Mother...... I am back! Meng Huoran opened the curtain and walked in, but who knew that his father had returned home earlier than before, so he hurriedly went up to say goodbye.

Master Meng secretly let go of his daughter-in-law's hand, coughed and said, "It's really bigger and more unruly, and he rushed straight in without saying a word at the door." ”

"Yes, it's the son, it's just that the son has something to find his mother today, and he's a little anxious." Meng Huoran was obviously anxious in his heart, and frequently looked at He.

"Then don't be so reckless, men should be steady." Master Meng leisurely taught his son a few words, but his body did not move at all, let alone have the intention of leaving, obviously he wanted to listen to the whispers of his son and his wife in private.

He Shi couldn't afford to show her husband's face in front of her son, so she had to say: "If things are not urgent, then you will come back later?" ”

"Mother!"

"Enough, the eldest husband has nothing to say to others, what is it about you that even I, a father, can't listen?" Master Meng deliberately raised his voice and asked, "But what trouble did you make outside, and you came to beg your mother for help?" ”

"Sir...... If you have something to say, don't scare the child! He quickly got up and pulled Meng Huoran over, which can be regarded as a peacemaker.

"You...... Isn't it time to enter the palace today? Master Meng glanced at He and had to ask patiently.

Meng Huoran thought about it, thinking that he was afraid that his mother would not be able to solve this matter alone, and it seemed that he still had to rely on his father, so he had to reply honestly: "Today, the Gonggong Jiang beside the saint seems to be a little strange. ”

"Father-in-law Jiang?" Master Meng pondered for a moment and said: "He has served two generations of kings, and he also has a thin face in front of the saint, what is strange about him." ”

When his son came back, he called everyone, but he grabbed him and said...... Say ......"

"What, does it have anything to do with being a father or Ding'anbo's house?" Master Meng saw that his eldest son wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that it was not a trivial matter.

Meng Huoran called out all the subordinates in the house, and then he was relieved and bold to tell Gonggong Jiang how to stop him, how to talk about Meng Xiangsi, and then what old acquaintances in Gonggong Jiang's palace, and asked him to come back and speak on his behalf, so that He could enter the palace with Meng Xiangsi in the future...... In this way, the people in the house were silent.

"Father, Sanniang is just a child, how can there be old acquaintances in the palace, the son and Zhuang Shizi have discussed it privately, and I feel that I am afraid that it is the old man in the palace, but why I found Sanniang, I really can't figure it out......" Meng Huoran glanced at his parents, and seemed to have a bottom in his heart, which may be inseparable from the old past.

Master Meng was speechless for a while, obviously he didn't expect that what his son encountered was actually this one, let alone that Gonggong Jiang, who was already old, would actually be involved in the Earl's Mansion for an old person, even if Sanniang was only a girl in the second room, but she was also his niece of Uncle Ding'an.

"Father, mother?" Meng Huoran is not stupid, of course he can see that there are some things here that his parents don't seem to want to say.

"I know about this, you go back first, didn't you say that you want to go and see Juju in a few days? It's not good to read books these days? Master Meng waved his hand, as if he didn't want to leave his son in the room at all.

"Father!"

Seeing that his son was in a hurry, He Shi hurriedly persuaded: "This matter is not your child's involvement, go back quickly, Duanfang will also come back from the academy in a few days, you take them to see the bow together, okay?" ”

Meng Huoran looked at his parents and knew that they had their own plans, and it seemed that they didn't need him to participate, but the doubts in his heart had not been solved in the end, and he was always uncomfortable in his chest.

"Yes! The son retired. Meng Huoran was obviously knowledgeable and did not argue with his parents, he was only uneasy for a moment, then straightened his clothes and withdrew.

Meng Huoran left, and He sat beside her husband, his eyes full of worry.

"I remember, that year, I was knighted, and Gonggong Jiang also came, and it seemed that he asked about Sanniang at that time." Master Meng touched his beard and recalled: "I didn't think about it at that time, but I remembered the connection when you reminded me two sentences recently, but I didn't expect that Gonggong Jiang would mention the events of that year for so many years." ”

"I really don't know what kind of sin I have created!" He Shi said angrily: "When I was a child, I just felt like it, who knew that the longer it looked, the more similar it became, if it grew up a little more...... It's like who's not good, but ......"

"Do you want to discuss this matter with the old lady of Yongchang Hou, after all, it is her mother's business." Ding Anbo also felt that it was inappropriate, the one who was involved in it back then was very widespread, and even involved in the old royal affairs, that one is now dead, but there are not a few people who know that person who are alive.

He Shi bit his lip, tugged at the handkerchief and said, "There is one thing, I already think it is a coincidence, but it is difficult to say what some people think. ”

"You say......," Ding Anbo reassured.

"Sanniang's birthday is on November 16, but that person's death day is also on this day."

If this matter is in two completely unrelated people, everyone will not think deeply, but the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, especially Acacia and that person look more and more similar, and the birthday and death date are in the same day. It's okay when I was a child, but if I grow up and be so similar to that one, it will make people fearful, and even kill the killer...... After all, whoever has done something bad is afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Ding Anbo gasped, he was a big man, and his hands were once stained with blood, but they were all people who should be killed, and he was not afraid. It's just that such a strange thing is indeed the first time he has encountered it.

"Do you want to ...... Sue sù Sanniang? He Shi said with a shudder of his lips.

"The son is silent! Besides, Sanniang is still a child, you say so much, what can she know. Ding Anbo said calmly: "It's not strange to look like, after all, that person is Sanniang's maternal ancestor's family, many people don't look like their father, not their mother, but like their grandmother, there are not a few, they are all connected by blood, not strange!" Don't listen to the wind or rain to scare yourself and lose your judgment. ”

"Hey...... I'm just worried that the Yang girl back then was really beautiful in the country, and even the color of the current queen mother is not as good as the eleventh or twelfth of that sister, if our third mother is so similar to her, how can we get it in the future! ”

The woman of the family has multiple virtues and talents, and her appearance is secondary, otherwise the wife of the head of the family is beautiful but can't take care of the backyard industry, so how can she be called a virtuous helper, let alone the descendants of Yu Yin. The girl of the Yang family was really good-looking back then, and the result of her extreme beauty was that men loved sex and women avoided her, and everyone seemed to have forgotten her talent and virtue.

Sometimes good looks are an advantage, but if it is too much, it becomes a woman's sin.

"Don't think about it, Sanniang is only twelve, you have time to go to the old lady of Yongchang Hou in the suburbs of Beijing, find an idea left and right, and set Sanniang's marriage earlier, so as to save others from worrying."

Ding Anbo is a man, thinking more long-term, he has always been a pure minister in front of the saint after he ascended the throne, so he doesn't need his niece, who is as close as a daughter, to win him any backers, but he is more worried about his cousin, seeing that Sanniang is not young, the cousin who likes the fly camp dog Gou Gou the most may have thought about selling his daughter for a long time, it is better for them to take advantage of the cousin's lack of reaction, first get engaged, and then the old lady of Yongchang Hou will come forward to press it, and this matter may be over.

"It's still thoughtful, it's just a matter of entering the palace...... He frowned.

"In a few days, you will send Sanniang to her grandfather to live for a few days, you can drag it first, as for the palace, I want to find someone to inquire." Ding Anbo clapped his hands and said, in the end, he could only use some roundabout ways, and Gonggong Jiang was not something they could offend at this time.

Acacia didn't know that she was remembered again, and the letter from the second master Meng became more and more explicit, and he carefully asked Acacia how far she had come in the past two years under the cultivation of her grandmother, and from time to time mentioned his kindness to her, as well as his and Guan's longing for her.

If it weren't for Acacia sending someone to open a shop in Jianghuai to keep an eye on Second Master Meng, and also placing people in Second Master Meng's mansion, she would have wondered if her father had rekindled his old love for her mother.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Aunt Dianjiu, and my good sister." After reading the letter, Acacia carefully folded it and put it in the box, and she still had to express her gratitude for those disgusting and numb cares, like a jewel.

"Our big girl? I heard that she rarely goes out. Pomegranate replied.

"Do you know why, in the past two years, my father's letters in the first half of the first year have been like snowflakes, and the second half of the year has been scattered? It wasn't until the second half of this year that my father seemed to think of my daughter and began to write so frequently. Acacia took a sip of tea and said with a cool smile: "In the second half of the first year, my good sister must have gained my father's trust and wanted to replace me. My father had a choice, and of course he didn't keep an eye on me. ”

"I heard that the eldest girl in our family also invited a nurturing grandmother, and it seems that she also came out of the palace." Pomegranate nodded.

"Of course, instead of writing letters to my daughter, who doesn't know anything, and even coaxes and cheats, it's better to cooperate with that daughter who is also interested and ambitious. Everyone takes what they need. Acacia explained indifferently, as if those people were not her relatives.

"That's ...... lately"

"It must have been the eldest sister who did something stupid and annoyed Aunt Jiu, what else did she want to do with the wind blowing on the bedside? My father did not dare to offend his concubine. A hint of sarcasm hung on the corner of Acacia's mouth, "He not only has to rely on his daughter, but also on his concubine, otherwise where does he get his glory and wealth?" The eldest sister offended this concubine who can match the prime minister, what else can she do? ”

"If the eldest girl really has that kind of heart, then it is better to fulfill her, and save the old man from worrying about our girl." The curtain outside was opened, and Mama Zhang walked in, and her peace of mind over the years was so smooth that she became more blessed than the previous two years.

Acacia quickly stood up and said, "Didn't Mama go to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to see the old sisters of the past?" How did you come back so quickly? ”

"It's getting late, and I'm not coming back...... Waiting for someone to drive out the old slave. Mama Zhang said jokingly.

"Where can I be! Mama has served my grandmother, who would dare to bully my mama? Acacia smiled and looked at the tangled branches, and helped Mama Zhang take off her coat.

"Hey...... They are all old, some of them are gone, and I just feel that time has passed too quickly. Mama Zhang said nostalgically: "There are not a few big sisters left who once taught us, and they don't feel good when they look at it, and they don't see it...... At least the old slave still felt that they were still there, still living in that mansion in good spirits. ”

Acacia lowered his head and listened quietly, time is the most terrible thing in this world, it can make people forget or disappear, all things and all people will be erased with time, only the lucky will leave traces in the long river of time.

"Look at the old slave! Babbling nonsense again, the girl has dinner? As Mama Zhang spoke, she got busy, and the melancholy just now seemed to be blown away by this enthusiasm, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Because Mama Zhang came back, Acacia and Pomegranate never talked about Meng Er's family, Mama Zhang's idea was very simple, it seemed that Meng Ruoyi would willingly replace Acacia, and Acacia would not be calculated. But Acacia can see it more thoroughly than Mama Zhang, and she has spent two lifetimes figuring out that there is really nothing else between some relatives except to use them.

If Meng Ruoyang enters the palace instead of her, of course it will be fine, but Second Master Meng will definitely not let her be at ease, and she will always have her value in the future.

It's just that in his previous life, Second Master Meng didn't think of sending her to the palace, how did he get to this in this life...... Acacia turned his head to look at the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered, obviously it was still his own face, but it has become less and less like it in the past two years.

After dinner, Acacia only read the book for a while and asked Pomegranate to take out the clothes that were ready to go out in a few days.

"Is it true that the girl is going to see the bow? I don't know who remembered this cold day. Pomegranate placed her clothes on the acacia bed and watched her head with accessories.

"But it's cold this year, and it's still warm here in previous years." Acacia put down the accessories, took a few steps back, and looked good, so he asked people to put the accessories on the flannel tray and let them go alone, and they also saved the days when they couldn't find it or didn't remember.

"That's what boys only see, and when the eldest prince brings it, he has to follow ......"

Lovesick and happy, he said: "I bet with him, since I have said that the fifth sister has been moved, of course I can't miss the appointment, besides, if I don't go, the little county lord will not be happy." ”

"That girl ......"

Pomegranate was still in her mouth, but the next moment she softened and lay down, the candle dimmed and brightened, and a person appeared at the table.
