Chapter 149: The Golden Years
Jiang Mei shook her head and signaled her to rest assured, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if it's really true, my mother has always regarded her as her own daughter, so Hua Ying is Yue'er's own sister, sister-in-law, Hua Ying's side is still as usual, don't let her know that I'm still alive, and now it's inconvenient for me to tell her." ”
Although Pei Fengwan was a little puzzled, she didn't like to explore, so she did what Jiang Mei said, "Okay, as long as the two of you are well, my sister-in-law will be relieved." ”
Jiang Mei smiled knowingly and nodded slightly,
Pei Fengwan hugged her, and his thoughts drifted away again,
"Hey....I think back then, a golden daughter, I like to set up a formation and get guns, from the beginning of taking things is arrows, from the beginning of being able to read, reading is a book of soldiers, provoking my father can not bear to leave you all the time, even to Xiangyang, I have to hold you by my side, in the end, my mother can only let Hua Ying enter the palace for you to see your imperial grandmother... At that time, Hua Ying was raised by her mother as her own daughter from birth, so everyone thought she was the eldest lady of the Yun family! Pei Fengwan gently brushed Jiang Mei's hair,
Smiled dotingly, "You've been naughty since you were a child!" ”
Jiang Mei leaned lightly in her arms, at this moment, she seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, she leaned on her mother's arms and was coquettish.
"At that time, I always said that my mother doted on my brother and Hua Ying, she always praised my brother and Hua Ying's sister for being well-behaved, every time I went to Xiangyang with my father, my mother didn't stop me!" Jiang Mei also accompanied her to reminisce.
"Where, when my father took you to Xiangyang, my mother didn't stop you, she was afraid that you would suffer. Unexpectedly, you promised her not to go, but you naughtily dressed up as a tomboy and quietly followed! Every time you write a letter, my mother has to cry for a long time, she always thinks, why did she give birth to a son who is well-behaved and elegant, but who gives birth to a daughter but is naughty! ”
"Haha......" Jiang Mei couldn't help laughing, smiling and laughing, tears also flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"At that time, my father held you in the palm of his hand. I can't bear to say half a word about you. Which one of the people in the house can move you, what others ask you to do, and what do you not do, but when Mu Shizi came. You just listen to him......"
Jiang Mei kept smiling. Until the last word is heard. The laughter faded and the tears slipped even harder.
Pei Fengwan also seemed to realize it, so he stopped. Pulled Jiang Mei out of her arms, looked at her and said seriously: "Yue'er... Hua Ying is already married to him, what should you do? He knows you...."
"I don't know!" Jiang Mei lowered her head and intercepted her words, "Sister-in-law, Sister Hua Ying likes Xiao and her brother, and Xiao and her brother also think she is me, since that's the case, as long as they are well, as for Yue'er...."Jiang Mei smiled bitterly, "Yue'er still has very important things to do, I'm afraid I can't give Xiao and my brother any ......."
Pei Fengwan looked at her pale face and felt distressed, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh lowly.
After a while, Jiang Mei spoke up: "Sister-in-law, don't blame Pei Xiang anymore, he is also forced to do so, at least he has kept a trace of blood for my Yun family, sister-in-law believes me, I will definitely find him, he is my brother's only bone and blood, and he must not be left behind!" ”
Even if you ask Yiyun Pavilion to go through the entire Ningzhou, you have to find him out.
"Well, I believe you!" Pei Fengwan replied with a tearful smile, I don't know why, her confidence in Jiang Mei is more than Pei Yun, who is the prime minister of Dahuan. Because that child, like Jiang Mei, has the blood of the Yun family on his body.
Then Jiang Mei instructed her a few more words, sat down for a while, and then came out.
After Jiang Mei returned to Jiang Mansion, she immediately ordered two things, the first thing was to ask Jiuzhu to send a message to Yun Ke of Yiyun Pavilion to find the whereabouts of the child, and the other was to let Rong He try to arrange a person in Xuanling Temple to secretly take care of Pei Fengwan.
In this way, when Jiang Mei was invited by Pei Yun to visit her again, she already had two girls in the house, and a lot of furnishings were added to the house. It's just that when Pei Yun asked her to change to a comfortable and spacious room to live in, Pei Fengwan refused, she had lived in this room for more than ten years, and she didn't want to leave.
But Jiang Mei considered that it was precisely because this room gave her too much sadness that she was immersed in the pain of loss for a long time and couldn't extricate herself, so she put forward a proposal to change her residence from the perspective of a doctor, and Pei Yun unexpectedly found that Pei Fengwan actually accepted Jiang Mei's suggestion, and finally with Pei Yun's encouragement, the two worked together to move Pei Fengwan. On the same day, Pei Yun found a quiet and elegant house in Xuanling Temple and let Pei Feng live in it later.
Jiang Mei saw his kindness and gentleness as a father on Pei Yun's face for the first time, and at this moment she suddenly felt that her sister-in-law was also happy, and she remembered that she had also been coquettish and frolicking in the arms of a loving father, and her heart couldn't help but feel sad again.
Today is the happiest day since Pei Yun returned to Beijing, because he found that his daughter's whole person was alive, and he seemed to faintly see her elegant and pretty shadow again, which also strengthened his determination to get that child back.
When Pei Yun and Jiang Mei left Xuanling Temple, the two also talked for a long time.
"Miss Jiang, my daughter can have today, thanks to the girl's help, Pei Hui has already told me what happened last time, and the Pei family owes the girl a favor!" After saying that, he bowed to Jiang Mei, Pei Yun had never really been grateful to anyone in his heart, but the woman in front of him could pull his most beloved child back from the edge of death, and he was grateful to her and appreciated her in his heart.
Jiang Mei was frightened by his actions, and immediately returned the salute in panic, "Pei Xiang, Pei Xiang must not perform this big gift, Jiang Mei can't afford it, I really can't afford it..."
Pei Yun straightened up and said with a smile: "The girl's wonderful hands and benevolence are the blessings of Dahuan!" ”
Jiang Mei smiled helplessly, and calmly replied: "Pei Xiang's entry into the temple can be commissioned, so that hundreds of officials can standardize, and can calm the chaos and defend the zombie, so that the people can live in peace, it is really the luck of the society!" ”
Pei Yun was quite happy when he heard this, "Haha...."It is the highest honor for a minister to be a general, and Pei Yun has done it, this is the capital that he can stand proudly in the court.
Pei Yun saw that Jiang Mei and a female streamer could have such insight, and then looked at her indifferently and elegantly. is calm and moderate, and values her even more in my heart. He suddenly came up with the idea of wanting his youngest son Pei Hui to marry Jiang Mei, although the Pei family is a high-ranking scholar, and the person he married is either a royal princess or a high-ranking lady, but the woman in front of him is born with a charm that convinces others, so that Pei Yun can cross the boundary of marriage in the world.
"The girl is also tired from a day's work, go back and rest quickly!" Pei Yun said with a smile.
"Xiaomei, thank you Pei Xiang, Pei Xiang, please go first!" Jiang Mei made a gesture of please, signaling Pei Yun to go first, how could she walk in front of Prime Minister Dahuan?
Pei Yun got into the carriage with a meaningful smile and went home first. Then Jiang Mei immediately got into the carriage and drove towards Jiangfu.
The carriage passed by Zhengle Terrace. Jiang Mei saw a familiar carriage. It seems that the Nine Emperor Princes are in Zhengle Terrace. Jiang Mei then prepared to meet him for a while.
Since the night Ruoxue died, Xiao Mocheng has never gone to the house to find Jiang Mei again, he has always felt guilty and self-blamed, and he is very annoyed. Xiao Mocheng, who has always been chic, is not chic this time. Because he realized that it was his willfulness and presumptuousness all along that made Jiang Mei fall into a crisis that night.
Mu Xiaohe went to her house to visit her once. At that time, Jiang Mei was still immersed in the pain of loss, and she was in a trance all day long and couldn't speak, looking at Mu Xiaohe's eyes. It also hurts in my heart.
At this time, the two were playing chess and drinking warm wine, while Hua Ying chuckled and gave the two cloths.
"The river boundary is three points wide, and the wisdom is deep, I don't know what His Highness and the prince are doing? What is the domain? Jiang Mei walked into the private room with a light smile, and her demeanor was full of atmosphere and calmness.
The three people in the private room heard this Yaliang's voice and got up to greet each other, Mu Xiaohe turned his head and saw Jiang Mei in a light blue robe, seeing her calm and indifferent, his heart was also relieved.
Xiao Mocheng looked at Jiang Mei with a wry smile, and there were complex and indescribable emotions buried in her eyes.
Hua Ying, who was standing behind the two, was also quite worried, since Jiang Mei became her matchmaker with Mu Xiaohe, she had no hostility towards Jiang Mei anymore, and she felt thrilled just by listening to the events of that night.......
Jiang Mei saw the expressions of the three of them, there was a wry smile on her face, and she felt quite guilty in her heart, in order to understand this sorrow, Jiang Mei raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, can't Your Highness recognize Xiaomei coming?" Jiang Mei looked at him with a smile and a teasing expression.
Xiao Mocheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, how could he forget her, it was precisely because he was thinking about her all the time, and that longing in his heart was like wine getting stronger and stronger.
Xiao Mocheng was also so rare that he was teased so much that he didn't know how to respond, so he had to say gently: "It's cold outside, come and sit by the charcoal fire and roast!" With that, he raised his hand and pulled her over. And Ruoyun behind Jiang Mei also took off her cloak in time and helped her sit down.
"I haven't seen the girl for a few days, I don't know how the girl is doing?" Hua Ying looked at her softly and asked out loud.
Jiang Mei looked at her warmly, her heart warmed, and her question dispelled a lot of tiredness in her heart...
Jiang Mei smiled and replied, "Thank you, girl, everything is fine!" ”
Then she remembered something and turned her head to ask Mu Xiaohe on the right, "Shizi, I don't know if Lan Ying's body is safe?" ”
Before Mu Xiaohe could reply to her, Xiao Mocheng, who had been bored for a while, interjected: "Lan Ying's body and bones are very good, you don't have to worry about her, but yourself, but you have to pay more attention, the wounds from last time have all healed?" ”
Xiao Mocheng asked with a hint of restraint in his eyes, he has been thinking about how to get his father and mother to agree to marry Jiang Mei, he had just discussed with Mu Xiaohe for a long time about this matter, but he saw that Mu Xiaohe was a little sullen, and the two of them did not discuss the reason.
Mu Xiaohe remembered what he had just said when he saw Xiao Mocheng's expression, he couldn't imagine that Xiao Mocheng loved Jiang Mei Zhisi, and as a prince, he still wanted to marry Jiang Mei as a concubine, and that kind of courage seemed to be something he didn't have.
It's just that Mu Xiaohe remembered that he was already a family person, and all the youthful frivolity had become a thing of the past, since Yue Yao's death, his state of mind has been like a lake of still water, plain and waveless, only occasionally in the dead of night, he will blow a tune, venting his sadness and indifference to the distant night sky.
Facing Xiao Mocheng's eyes that were quick to soften out of the water, Jiang Mei was a little overwhelmed, Xiao Mocheng's words that night echoed in his ears again, did he really care about himself so much?
But she couldn't give him any promises at all, let alone be his concubine, if she still wanted to get married, then she would have returned to that person's arms a long time ago.
"It's all right, Your Highness, rest assured!" Jiang Mei responded to Xiao Mocheng, while pretending to glance at Mu Xiaohe unintentionally, she looked at Mu Xiaohe, who had a smile on the corner of her mouth but was still a little worried, her expression moved slightly, yes, he couldn't do it, and Xiao Mocheng couldn't do it.
"Your Highness, now that the six princes are dead, what are your Royal Highness's plans?" Jiang Mei decided to change the topic, so she introduced the court bureau.
"Hehe" Xiao Mocheng smiled bitterly, "When I finally crossed a few peaks and thought that there should be a flat avenue behind, I realized that the real opponent only appeared at this moment!" Xiao Mocheng looked at the glittering flames in the furnace, just like seeing Xiao Moheng who was gradually revealing his skills, and his eyes flashed with a little sharpness.
Jiang Mei and Mu Xiaohe both knew what he said, and even Hua Ying, who didn't know much about the court situation, knew that Xiao Moheng, the seventh prince, was getting louder and louder now.
Jiang Mei was silent for a long time, and threw away a sentence that made Xiao Mocheng and Mu Xiaohe almost drop their jaws,
"It's time for Your Highness to marry!"
Jiang Mei looked at Xiao Mocheng indifferently, as if she felt that he should use this to consolidate his power.
Hearing this, Xiao Mocheng looked at Jiang Mei with almost frightened eyes, looking sad and lonely, did she never think that she would marry her, or did she really turn a blind eye to her feelings?
Mu Xiaohe saw that the two of them were deliberately ruthless, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't believe that Jiang Mei didn't know anything about Xiao Mocheng's feelings, was she really uninterested in him, or because the two of them were separated by a cloud, they felt that it was impossible to be together?
Xiao Mocheng gradually stabilized his expression, did not respond to her, but flicked his sleeves and left with an indifferent expression.
Jiang Mei was a little helpless about his actions, she didn't care, but she knew that the two of them would not have any ending, so it was better to let him die as soon as possible.
Mu Xiaohe shook his head helplessly and followed.
There are some things that Mu Xiaohe is not easy to say, but Hua Ying is easy to say.
After Hua Ying saw the backs of Mu Xiao and the two disappear, she turned around and looked at Jiang Mei, her thin brows were about to twist into a rope.
"I said, Jiang Mei, what do you want?" Hua Ying opened her mouth angrily.
"The Nine Emperor Princes are very affectionate to you, don't you understand today? How many people in the whole capital dream of marrying him, and you actually....actually..."
Hua Ying stomped her feet angrily, but she didn't come out of nowhere.
Jiang Mei always looked at her with a smile and didn't speak, some things couldn't be explained, and they couldn't be explained. On the contrary, she saw that Hua Ying was a lot closer to her, and she was a lot more relieved.
"You and Lan Ying... Okay? Jiang Mei diverted the topic again,
Hua Ying looked at her and smiled helplessly, "Fortunately, sometimes I want to hate her but I can't hate her, the world is also bitter, he didn't say a word about the things of the year!" ”
Jiang Mei sighed, thinking of Mu Xiao and his gloomy look that day,
"This is his cleverness, everything has already passed, why bother to add another scar to Pei Lanying's heart, since he has married her, he has to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, he is a very affectionate man...."When Jiang Mei said this, she lowered her eyes and hid the sadness in her eyes into her heart.
The past has become a reminiscence, and the Jinse years do not need to be talked about...... (To be continued......)
PS: Everyone finally knows why Hua Ying's identity is confused with Jiang Mei's identity
