Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Mention
Zhuang Minhua is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, the eldest lady said so, so she had to respond. After talking and laughing for a while, I saw that there was a housekeeper's daughter-in-law talking back and forth outside the door, thinking that she had something to do, so she took her leave.
The eldest lady called the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper to come up and ask questions, and finished the business.
Ziyan changed a cup of tea for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady took a sip in her hand, and after a while, she said, "Did Ge Da serve the master today?" Go and call him. If he goes out, let him come to Vigor. "Ge Da is the henchman of Master Zhuang, and so is Shengsheng.
Ziyan went in a hurry, and when she was young, she came with exuberance.
After seeing the ceremony, the eldest lady asked him, "I remember the last time the master said that you should keep an eye on the Shan family, what did you find?" ”
Wang Sheng said respectfully: "Since Marquis Shan can't walk the road of our banker, the eldest prince has placed him in the military department, and he has become a positive five-grade langzhong, and he has come and gone to the mansion of the eldest prince more and more frequently. Usually when he is resting, his favorite place to go is the plum house in the east of the city. ”
"Plum House?" The eldest lady muttered, "Who lives in it?" ”
"Although the house is a private house, the precautions are very strict. The subordinates bought off the mother-in-law who bought vegetables inside, and learned about the Mei family, the outer house of the Nanhou of Zhennan. And Mei is the cousin of Zhennanhou, a widow who has just lost her daughter. It's just that Mei's family, who has always been in the inner house, has been going out frequently recently, and the people he sees are chaotic. As far as her subordinates know, she looks like ...... It seems that Zhennanhou has been cuckolded. After saying the last sentence, Wang Sheng couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat, for fear of staining his wife's ears.
The eldest lady really frowned, "Do you know who the Mei family is dealing with?" ”
Wang Sheng said: "They are all petty officials, but those petty officials have a relationship to enter and leave the houses of high-ranking officials and nobles."
"What is this Mei going to do? Could it be that Mei did this completely out of the instructions of Zhennan Hou? It's too shameless to use your own woman to pave connections! "The eldest lady suddenly became even more disgusted with Zhennanhou." Then send some men to follow the petty officials, and see where they come and go, and then you will make a list for me. ”
Coming out of the eldest lady, Zhuang Minhua went directly back to the room. I changed into a homely dress and removed the hairpin ring on my body. Swing away the people in the room and throw himself on the bed.
Lay on my stomach for a while. Zhuang Minhua cheered up. I remembered that I was knocked unconscious yesterday, and I felt that I couldn't pin all my hopes on the system's prompts anymore. So I looked through the system mall for a while and found a pair of mandarin ducks that defended against three fatal blows.
In peacetime, when attacked, the defense will also be automatically activated; As long as it's not fatal. Those three defense chances will not be consumed. And if the other party is hurt, it can also be fed back to the owner of another jade pendant, which can't be great.
It just so happens that she and Meng Jinghan are one by one, and both of them have a physique full of disasters and difficulties! Zhuang Minhua exchanged the pair of mandarin ducks from the mall and took them in his hand to take a closer look. The material is crystal white. Delicate and moisturizing, it is mutton fat jade. There is a mandarin duck carved on it, and there are some mysterious patterns engraved next to it, which makes people dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
Zhuang Minhua asked Qian Hong to tie the jade pendant of the mandarin duck with a plum blossom and tied it around his waist. Another jade pendant with a carved duck made a Fang Shengluozi by himself, wrapped it with a lotus with the jade pendant, and stuffed it under the pillow, planning to give it to Meng Jinghan the next time he saw him.
She and Meng Jinghan haven't seen each other for a few days, not like in modern times. Even if the distance is far away, you can also call and text to play WeChat chat buckle. Now even in the same city, we can't get along a few streets away. As long as Meng Jinghan didn't come to her, she wouldn't be able to see him.
Zhuang Minhua opened the system map, and his slender fingers pointed at the glittering golden dot, "Alas, when will we meet every day?" Zhuang Minhua was stunned.
Meng Jinghan accompanied Concubine Rong to finish breakfast and was stayed. The maid served the tea, and Concubine Rong took a sip of the tea, and glanced at Mama Shang.
Soon a bunch of portraits were picked up. Meng Jinghan used to make excuses to slip away when he saw this pile of portraits, but today he sat firmly on the chair.
Concubine Rong nodded with satisfaction, look, this is her son. Dajun. Such a good child, if he can't find a daughter-in-law, it will be really intolerable.
"Look, which one do you like, the mother concubine will hire you for you. If she dared to disagree, the mother concubine went to cry in front of the Queen Mother. Ask the emperor to personally decree a marriage for you. Even if he doesn't like you anymore, who calls you the son of his own brother and life-saver. Concubine Rong said lightly.
As he spoke, he picked up the top portrait, opened it for himself, and then held it up to show his son, "Look at this round face and big buttocks, her mother gave birth to three sons, and as soon as her mother's other sisters got married, the first child was also a son." It's so good to give birth to! ”
Meng Jinghan glanced at it, the face was painted like a round cake, can it not be round? As for the buttocks, they are as thick as the waist. Meng Jinghan couldn't help but see Zhuang Minhua's white and tender little face, as well as the slender waist that he touched that day.
"Look at this again, gentle and virtuous, the most obedient, you tell her to go east, she will never go west." Concubine Rong opened another portrait.
Meng Jinghan was careless, and he didn't know where to see the gentle and virtuous; To be obedient, he has a lot of men. His daughter-in-law should be as bold as Zhuang's, don't think that he can't see Zhuang's disdain for that person; There should be a pair of peach blossom eyes like Zhuang's, and when I confessed to him, it was full of starlight; When he laughs, he is like a galaxy, and he speaks neatly......
"And ......" Concubine Rong said and found that her son was in a trance, his expression seemed to be a little rippling, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.
"Han'er, do you have a sweetheart?"
Meng Jinghan came back to his senses when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, since he agreed to marry Zhuang Minhua and had a good impression of her, then Zhuang Minhua was indeed his sweetheart, so he nodded.
Concubine Rong was overjoyed, threw the portrait in her hand casually, and let people take it away one by one, and then asked Meng Jinghan, "Han'er!" You tell your mother who that girl is. The mother concubine will give you a door-to-door proposal. ”
Since even the mother concubine agreed, let's propose! These days have been waiting too long, and every time he wants to see Zhuang Minhua, he has to climb over the wall; If you marry her home, won't you see her as much as you want? "It's Zhuang Shoufu's granddaughter, ranked eighteenth, and her girlfriend's name is Minhua. Since the mother concubine agreed, the son asked the mother concubine. ”
When Concubine Rong saw that Meng Jinghan was not perfunctory to her, she had a name and a surname, and she was immediately happy, "Okay, okay, Concubine Mother will definitely help you marry her back." ”
Meng Jinghan saw that Concubine Rong was so enthusiastic. I also put my mind at ease and went back to my yard to deal with affairs. After sending Meng Jinghan away, Concubine Rong hurriedly sent someone to inquire about Zhuang Minhua's situation.
In the evening, the sky became more and more gloomy. It was foggy and windy. Zhuang Minhua had just walked out of the old lady's door, and a cold wind blew and lifted the corners of her skirt.
Qian Hong hurriedly put a cloak on her, and Zhuang Minhua tightened the cloak. Quickened the pace.
The warm pavilion in her yard has been cleaned up, and she will be able to move in in a few days.
After returning to the room, Zhuang Minhua sat on a chair and read a book for a while. Seeing that it was not early, he washed up and went to bed.
It's just that I didn't feel sleepy for a while, and remembered that there were still a few chapters of the novel to read, so I simply lay on the bed and read it before falling asleep.
After reading a few chapters of the novel, I was about to sleep. Zhuang Minhua habitually clicked on the system map to look for the golden point, but found that the golden point moved towards the location of Zhuangfu.
Zhuang Minhua's eyes widened in surprise. I couldn't believe it for a while, and my heart was pounding. She stared at the golden dot deadly, and her sleepiness had long been thrown out of the clouds.
Soon, the gold point representing Meng Jinghan entered the Zhuang Mansion, Zhuang Minhua quickly sat up, found that he was still wearing bed clothes, and hurriedly got up and dressed.
Qian Hong heard the noise, came in to take a look, and saw Zhuang Minhua hurriedly getting dressed. was confused for a while, but she was used to helping Zhuang Minhua get dressed. The hair was too late, but it was loosely tied to the head with a hosta. Zhuang Minhua asked Qianhong to prepare a pot of hot tea. A few plates of dried fruits, a hospitable posture.
After finishing everything, Zhuang Minhua sent out the puzzled Qianhong and told her not to come in if she heard any noise.
She planned to slowly expose Meng Jinghan's existence to the people around her. That soundproof cover is not needed, it is too energy-consuming.
When Meng Jinghan appeared in Zhuang Minhua's room, she found her sitting at the table reading a book.
Meng Jinghan came suddenly every time, and Zhuang Minhua was blocked in the quilt by him. Now I suddenly saw her sitting at the table with her dressed, and there was hot tea and dried fruits on the table, obviously waiting for someone. I can't help but feel strange.
Meng Jinghan walked to the table, Zhuang Minhua looked up and smiled at him, "You're here!" Suddenly, it was like a thousand flowers blooming behind her.
This tone of knowing that you would come made Meng Jinghan raise his eyebrows, and he hesitated and asked, "You seem to know that I am coming tonight?" ”
Zhuang Minhua blinked slyly and said with a smile: "I have a telepathy for you!" I sensed that you were coming tonight, so I was waiting for you. ”
Meng Jinghan didn't believe it, if there was, why did he look frightened the first two times. If she sent someone to follow him, it would be impossible, with his skills, no one can follow him silently today. Or is it a coincidence?
He pressed the idea, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and said bluntly, "I told the mother about us, and the mother was very happy to hear it, and she promised that she would soon come and propose marriage to the dealer." ”
Suddenly such a bombshell news came, Zhuang Minhua was stunned for a moment, then squinted with a red face and nodded heavily.
Meng Jinghan was very satisfied with it, he liked it like this. He walked over and stood at his desk with a serious expression. "In two days, I will go out of the city to hunt a pair of geese myself."
Zhuang Minhua thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "It's good to prepare first." ”
The two of them are so serious, you and I have discussed the marriage sentence by sentence, and there is no shyness of first-married men and women at all. spoke in that tone, as if they were an old couple over the years, but the two of them were not surprised.
"I'm done, do you have anything to tell me?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Minhua stood up and walked to the bed, took out a purse from under the pillow, poured out a jade pendant from it, and handed it to him. Said solemnly, "This is my special opening of the warehouse, looking for a whole piece of fine jade, carved into a pair of mandarin ducks, you and I each have one." You must remember to carry it with you at all times, even when you are in the shower. She hopes that her serious attitude will make Meng Jinghan pay more attention to this jade pendant.
A smile flashed in Meng Jinghan's eyes, and he untied the beautiful jade on his waist and replaced it with the duck pendant given by Zhuang Minhua.
walked to Zhuang Minhua's side, generously took her little hand, and the two sat together. Since they are about to get married, Zhuang Minhua is not entangled and shy, she snuggles up to Meng Jinghan and plays with his hand. His palms are slender, his skin is like white jade, his fingers are well-defined, and his nails are very cleanly trimmed, which is very beautiful. The two of them interlocked their fingers, the size was clear, and Zhuang Minhua didn't want to let go when he caught it.
Meng Jinghan shook her backhand and held her hand in the palm of her hand. His palms were warm, his body was smoky with cold incense, and she was drunk by the body temperature, and she couldn't help but tell him what happened yesterday.
Meng Jinghan's face sank, and his body was furious, "I'll investigate this matter, don't worry." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll give you two secret guards to protect you secretly."
Zhuang Minhua refused, "No need, you need people more around you, besides, there are two martial arts maids around me." ”
Meng Jinghan said: "When they meet a master, it is estimated that they will not be able to withstand anything."
Zhuang Minhua said with a smile: "I'm a backhouse woman, how many people can use martial arts masters to deal with me?" So be it! ”
Meng Jinghan was silent for a while, and decided to secretly send someone to protect her, why waste so many words. couldn't help but instruct again, "In the future, if you look at him, stay away, it's not that you're afraid of him, but that his reputation is too stinky, and it's not good for you to get close." ”
"It's natural, I listen to these rumors, even if I don't believe them. But judging by his words and deeds that day, it was not a good one. Zhuang Minhua is not afraid of him.
Meng Jinghan smiled and said, "Well, in the future, you will stay away from those men when you attend the banquet."
Zhuang Minhua sneered: "What you say doesn't make sense, why should I approach those men when I am so decent?" It's not that you think that if I confess to you, you think I'm frivolous. ”
Meng Jinghan didn't move his eyebrows, "No, how can you agree if you think you are frivolous?" ”
Zhuang Minhua was right to think about it, and the two talked for a while, only to hear the four drums outside "Bangbang".
Meng Jinghan stood up, hugged Zhuang Minhua who stood up, looked at the delicate face in his arms, and suddenly couldn't wait to get up, "Tomorrow, I will call my mother to propose marriage." As he spoke, he kissed her on the forehead, and then hurried away with a red face.
Zhuang Minhua ran to the window and stood for a while, until his body was shivering with cold, and he didn't ask anyone to clean up, so he lay back on the bed and fell asleep.
However, Qian Hong heard a man's voice in the young lady's room outside, and she was so shocked that she couldn't describe how she felt. The man's voice was gone, and the young lady was not heard calling her, and there was no sound in the room.
I wanted to go in and have a look, but the young lady said no, and I struggled all night. When Tianming Zhuang Minhua got up, he saw that Qian's red eyes were blue and black, and he was combing her hair and yawning at the same time, so he knew that he scared her last night. (To be continued.) )
