The sky was covered with snow, fluttering and boiling like goose feathers.

The carriage of the Zhou Mansion slowly drove into the corner gate of the Jin Palace, crossed the shadow wall, and stopped in front of the second gate.

Zhang's mother, who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, immediately asked the servant woman to put down her pedals and greeted her.

Meng Yuqing took Zhou Mi'er and got out of the car.

"Second aunt, Miss Cousin, you are here, the princess has been waiting early in the morning." Zhang's mother, who was plump, said with a smile, and raised her hand to help Meng Yuqing.

Meng Yuqing said with a smile: "You don't persuade her, it's only right to let her rest for a long time." ”

"The slave maid thinks about it, but she can't persuade it." Zhang's mother answered with a smile and led the mother and son into the door, but instead of going to the main courtyard, she walked to the remote southwest corner of the palace.

On the way, Meng Yuqing was chatting with Zhang's mother, asking about the recent situation in the Jin Palace.

Zhang's mother Zhang, nearly forty years old, because she was born round and white, she looks a little younger than women of the same age, she is also the son of Meng Guofu, and she married with her husband to the Jin Palace, and now both husband and wife are in charge of one of the palaces, which is considered to have some status.

When Meng Yuqing asked about the whereabouts of King Jin in the past few days, Mother Zhang couldn't help but sigh and said: "I was busy a few days ago, but now I am idle, and I am staying by the side of the princess. ”

Meng Yuqing recognized that this was the way to the Buddhist hall behind the palace, so she frowned and asked, "Could it be that Yuyan has been staying in the attic in front of the Buddhist hall for the past few days?" ”

"Not really." Mother Zhang sighed again, and when she saw Zhou Mi'er looking left and right, she gently admonished: "Miss Biao is worried, her feet are slipping very much." ”

Zhou Mi'er had a close relationship with Zhang's mother, and when she heard this, she stuck out her tongue and smiled.

"After a while, the second aunt and grandmother will help persuade the princess, no matter how well the attic in front of the Buddha Hall is arranged, it can't compare to the main courtyard." Zhang's mother said to Meng Yuqing again.

Meng Yuqing nodded solemnly, "I can't help her mess around." ”

The three of them talked, and soon arrived at a three-story attic, the attic is not big, the carved beams and paintings are quite exquisite, staggered attic, and you can faintly see the corner of the Buddhist hall behind.

Zhang's mother didn't report it, and directly took the mother and daughter into the attic, and after removing the cloak and cloak, the three of them climbed to the second floor.

When I went up to the second floor, I heard the sound of wooden fish, standing in front of the curtain of the partition, Mother Zhang raised her voice and said: "Lord Wang, Princess Niangniang, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou are here." ”

The sound of the wooden fish stopped.

"Please come in, second sister." It was a low and steady male voice that replied.

As soon as Meng Yuqing heard this voice, her face sank suddenly, Zhou Mi'er quickly pulled her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Mother, we are here to persuade Aunt Jiu, don't choke with Aunt Jiu, Aunt Jiu still doesn't want to do it in her heart." ”

Listening to her daughter's words, Meng Yuqing's face softened, she nodded, and took her daughter to lift the curtain and go in.

The attic is not big, but the inside is very spacious, the bedroom on the second floor has two rooms inside and outside, the outside is placed with a bronze beast pattern furnace, the kang bed is built, there is a complete set of tables and chairs, all the utensils are very complete, but it is not crowded at all, and to the east of the left, there is a large screen of sandalwood inlaid with jade, and the back is the inside.

The mother and daughter lifted the curtain and entered the outer room, and the heat of the room suddenly made the two who had just walked all the way sweat.

This charcoal fire is also burning too strongly, could it be that Yuyan's body has reached this point?

Meng Yuqing frowned without a trace, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw King Jin and Princess Jin sitting on the kang on the left and right.

"Second sister is polite." King Jin stood up from the kang and bowed to Meng Yuqing.

On the kang table where he sits, there is a book that has been read nearly halfway, and with his polite words and deeds, it is easy to think of the phrase 'gentleman is humble and gentle as jade', but those who have heard the reputation of King Jin know that he is not a useless scholar without the power of a chicken.

There are both the elegance and nobility of the literati, and the decisiveness of the generals, the King of Jin is a Confucian general who is famous in the Dayong Dynasty, even if he is a brave and warlike general at the border, he does not dare to despise him for half a point.

Looking at the person in front of her, Meng Yuqing's mind reappeared the elegant, mighty, modest and gentle best friend back then, and her eyes couldn't help but feel sour.

Time has passed, and they are no longer the same as they used to be, and they can't go back to what they used to be.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Yuqing suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and said with a smile as she walked inside: "Today, I can actually meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin who is busy today, and the courtiers are really lucky to have three lives." ”

King Jin was embarrassed for a while, stepped aside, made a gesture of please, and said, "Second sister said that she was laughing, please sit down." ”

He invited Meng Yuqing to sit on the kang.

Meng Yuqing didn't move, and wanted to choke him a few more words, but Zhou Mi'er on the side stepped forward and smiled and arched her hands, saying: "Ninth aunt-in-law, Mi'er is giving you a New Year's greeting, I wish you eternal pine and cypress, and a long life!" ”

King Jin loved this niece very much, smiled when he heard the words, took out a big red envelope and handed it to Zhou Mi'er, and said happily: "Borrow Mi'er's auspicious words, and let the steward lead you to the treasury in a while, you can pick at will, and you like to take it to play!" ”

Zhou Mi'er got cheap and behaved, blinked and said, "Then can I pick one for my brother and them?" They asked me to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle on their behalf! ”

"Hahaha!" King Jin was amused by her playful and agile appearance, and said, "Okay, take your pick!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Zhou Mi'er grinned happily.

Meng Yuqing pretended to be annoyed and glared at her daughter.

Zhou Mi'er stuck out her tongue playfully.

King Jin didn't stay long, and after a few words of laughter with Zhou Mi'er, he left.

After King Jin left, Meng Yuyan spoke.

"I heard that the second sister was coming over in the morning, and I was shocked, is there something wrong?" While asking, she pulled Zhou Mi'er into her arms and rubbed it affectionately.

Meng Yuqing glanced at the wooden fish Buddha beads in front of her, glared at them angrily, and said, "What are you doing with these things every day?" If you really want to be a sister-in-law, you can give up those hatreds, loves and hates, and save yourself from making yourself more and more haggard. ”

Meng Yuyan smiled bitterly and said coldly: "I just can't give up, if I become a sister-in-law, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?" I just don't want him to have a good time. ”

"Why are you doing this!" Meng Yuqing sighed, and said seriously: "If you torture him, you are torturing yourself, you should always think about Brother Yi and Brother Miao, they are all good children, you can't mistake them." ”

Thinking of her two sons, the corners of Meng Yuyan's eyes were red, and she held back her tears and said: "I can't look at them squarely, especially Brother Yi, every time I see him, I think of the mistakes I made, and I can't forgive myself." ”

"Brother Keyi is not wrong, how filial that child is!" Meng Yuqing hates that iron does not become steel.

"I wish they hated me, I'm not a good mother." Meng Yuyan smiled bitterly and shed tears.

Meng Yuqing's heart was sour, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, I'm here today to bring you good news." ”

"What's the good news for me?" Meng Yuyan laughed at herself, and after saying a few words, she began to gasp, which showed that her body was still very weak.

guessing that she would react like this, Meng Yuqing smiled and said: "I have to disappoint you this time, it's a good news, I guarantee that you will be well after hearing it." He raised the backrest for her to be more comfortable.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear it. Meng Yuyan cheered up a little.

"That's right." Meng Yuqing stroked her sideburns and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I went to pay New Year's greetings to my eldest mother, and a group of sisters were there, everyone missed you very much, and when I heard that you were sick again, I cried so much that I couldn't do it." ”

Hearing this, Meng Yuyan blamed herself very much, and said with a pale face and frowns: "It's worried everyone." Then he asked, "How is my mother?" I'm also a big unfilial this year, and my mother always worries about me. ”

"It's good that you know, it's useless to say this, it's only right to take care of your body." Meng Yuqing said with a glare.

"I know." Meng Yuyan responded with a smile.

Meng Yuqing knew that she deserved it right now, and turned around to torture herself, the King of Jin, and the two innocent children.

Sighing silently in the bottom of her heart, Meng Yuqing continued: "Mother said, I will come to see you in a few days, bring Yuxia and Sister Lan together, you have to take care of your body, and save time to make the old man sad." ”

Meng Yuyan was stunned when she heard this, and it took a long time to react, she sat up straight, grabbed Meng Yuqing's hand and asked eagerly, "Second sister, what did you just say?" You said that my mother was going to bring Sister Lan to see me? Mother and Sister Lan are coming over?! ”

Her voice burst from her excitement, and her bloodless lips trembled.

Meng Yuqing was worried that she would be too excited and hurt herself, so she pressed her back and said softly: "Yes, yes, my mother wants to bring Sister Lan to see you, so you have to take good care of yourself." ”

"Really?" Meng Yuyan cried with joy.

"It's true, when did the second sister lie to you?" Meng Yuqing wiped away her tears again.

Zhou Mi'er, who was sitting next to her, widened her eyes in surprise and clapped her hands: "Great! I'm going to come over then, too! I'm going to be able to play with Sister Lan again! ”

Meng Yuqing said angrily to her daughter: "Don't think I don't know what your idea is, yesterday made your third cousin angry like that, you still haven't made enough trouble?" ”

"What's the matter, we have already apologized to Third Brother Meng." Zhou Mi'er pursed her lips and nestled into Aunt Jiu's arms to be coquettish.

Meng Yuyan calmed down a little, hugged her niece lovingly, and said, "It's okay for children to make trouble, it means that their cousins are close, and that's good." ”

"You're going to get used to her." Meng Yuqing smiled and shook her head.

The two sisters chatted for an afternoon, both about Mrs. Meng and An Ruolan, and they both said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and after getting this good news, Meng Yuyan saw that his complexion was fine, and his face finally had blood, and he was willing to smile.

In the evening, Meng Yuqing's mother and daughter got up to say goodbye, Meng Yuyan originally sent them in person, but they were persuaded to stop, and later it was the King of Jin who sent their mother and daughter to the carriage.

Meng Yuqing still didn't have a good face for King Jin, so she only said: "In a few days, the eldest mother will bring Sister Yu Xialan to visit Yuyan, you know what to do." With that, he got into the carriage and drove away.

King Jin stood silently in the snow for a long time, then sighed and turned back to the attic. R1152
