In the early morning of the next day, after listening to Master Chanzhen's lecture on Buddhism, the group set off for the city.

Before leaving, An Ruolan and Zhou Mi'er were asked to kowtow to Master Chanzhen to show their sincere respect.

Although they stayed for a few days longer than expected, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile.

It was still a half-day road, and in the afternoon of the same day, a group of three carriages drove into the bustling south gate.

As soon as the carriage marked with the three family crests entered the city gate, people from all the provinces came to greet them.

It was Zhou Yongyi who was sent by the Zhou Mansion to pick up people, he stepped forward and knocked on the wheel of the carriage, and said happily: "Mother, little sister, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, my eldest brother and I will be grinded to death by my father." ”

The witty tone provoked the mother and daughter who were still in the carriage to laugh.

"What nonsense!" Meng Yuqing lifted the curtain and glanced at him, and couldn't help but smile: "You don't have a proper shape, I'm worried that your father will know." ”

Zhou Yongyi shrunk her neck and shut up stupidly.

Zhou Mi'er came out and grimaced at the second brother with eyebrows, and the brother and sister came to make eye knives at each other.

Over there, An Wensheng also received Mrs. An and An Ruolan, and was talking respectfully.

It was Meng Sanshao who came to pick up Mrs. Meng, and An Ruolan took advantage of the grandmother and eldest brother to talk, quietly looked at her cousin, and thought of the man in white again.

Look, it's quite similar.

But if it was really Third Brother Meng, how could he not deliberately hide it?

After thinking about it, I still feel that the man in white and Meng Sange are not the same person.

Meng Sanshao noticed the inquiring gaze behind him. Immediately turned his head suspiciously, and saw that An Ruolan was probing his brain, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile. He winked playfully, but replied to Old Madam Meng's words casually.

was caught red-handed, An Ruolan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and seeing Meng Sanshao so obedient, she glared back angrily and got into the carriage.

All three families came to pick them up, and everyone greeted each other. After a short pause, they parted ways. Go back to your own house.

Mrs. Meng relieved herself to hand over a qiē to Mrs. An to arrange, although Meng Yuqing had the heart to help Meng Yuyan, but she was only An Ruolan's aunt, and she was a junior. It's really inconvenient to meddle in the matter of settling down, so I won't say more.

On the way back to Zhou's mansion, Zhou Yongyi told Meng Yuqing that the king of Jin had visited the mansion.

"Aunt Jiu sent a set of Tao Jingxuan's blue and white tea cups, and said that Aunt Nine invited her mother to return to the house and go to the Jin Palace."

Hearing this, Meng Yuqing's face was in a trance for a moment, followed by a sneer, and said, "He thinks well." Use Yuyan as an excuse. ”

"Mother?" Zhou Mi'er pulled her sleeve worriedly.

Meng Yuqing shook her head and signaled that she was fine.

She patted the back of Zhou Mi'er's hand and said, "Ming'er, you go to the Jin Palace." Go visit your ninth aunt and send the tea cup back by the way. ”

"Mother......" Zhou Mi'er frowned in embarrassment, "Aunt Jiu is also kind, you will ......"

Meng Yuqing shook her head firmly, "You don't have to say more, I have a scale in my heart." ”

No matter how precious the tea cup sent by King Jin is. It's not the one she shattered, it's hard to recover when it's covered with water. Broken tea cups cannot be restored, and even if they are forcibly repaired, there will be cracks.

After all, they can't go back more than 10 years ago.

Zhou Mi'er knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she didn't persuade her anymore.

Zhou Yongyi looked at her mother, and then at her sister, but she didn't open her mouth very interestingly. He has never had a say in the family.

Wenxinhou's Mansion was the closest to the South City Gate, and Mrs. An took An Ruolan to the house first.

The carriage drove into the corner gate, crossed the road, and arrived in front of the second gate, the concubines of the Murong clan had already led the subordinates of the mansion to wait in front of the door, and when they saw the carriage coming, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.

The tassel shook gently, the carriage slowly stopped, and the maid got out of the car, put down the pedals, and helped lift the curtain.

An Ruolan jumped out of the car first, and then turned back to help Mrs. An.

Seeing this, Murong stepped forward for her and steadily helped the old lady out of the carriage.

As soon as they landed, several ladies surrounded them, and the second lady smiled heartily: "Mother, we can be regarded as looking forward to your return." ”

"Yes, my mother is not in the house, and my heart is not so steady." The third lady also laughed.

The fourth lady smiled silently, and her expression was also happy.

Only Meng Shi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were flustered, and his eyes quietly went back and forth between the old lady and An Ruolan.

The old lady accepted the greetings of her daughters-in-law with a smile, and her eyes swept to Meng Shi, who looked panicked, and her eyes were slightly heavy.

After laughing for a while, seeing that the old lady's face was already tired, Murong said: "The hour is not early, and my mother and Sister Lan are also tired of traveling and driving, so let's eat and rest first, and it doesn't matter if you have anything to say later." ”

Hearing this, the rest of the ladies hurriedly responded and persuaded the old lady to go back to the room to eat and rest first.

The old lady nodded, and a group of people hugged her back to the main hall of Yirong Garden, and the five ladies accompanied her to lunch.

An Ruolan also dined with the elders, and during the banquet, Murong took great care of her, persuaded the dishes, served them, and removed the fish bones, which was very careful and thoughtful.

The old lady looked sideways many times, and a smile appeared on her face.

He turned his eyes to look at Meng Shi who was sitting at the end, and his smile faded.

Meng Shi was worried, since she looked at An Ruolan with her eyes, she had never looked at An Ruolan directly, and at this time she was eating, she had been immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't notice Murong Shi's movements at all, such an absent-minded attitude made the old lady very disappointed.

After lunch, the old lady let everyone disperse, and was helped back to the bedroom by Mama Song to rest.

Coming out of Songhe Hall, An Ruolan, who was greeting the girls, was stopped by Meng, and Meng asked her to accompany her back to Xinyue Garden.

"I know you miss Sister Lan very much, but she just came back, it must be a time of fatigue, why are you in a hurry to speak at this time?" Murong frowned slightly in disapproval.

Meng bit her lip aggrievedly, her autumn eyes were full of tears, and she was silent, looking at An Ruolan resentfully, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

An Ruolan was so shocked by her that she looked at her.

The four of Murong Clan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and they were a little disdainful of Meng's style.

The third lady pulled An Ruolan directly and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, your mother loves you, she must be reluctant to let you suffer, so you should go back and rest quickly." ”

He turned to Meng Shi with a smile and said with a smile: "Fifth aunt, do you say yes or no?" ”

Meng Shi was immediately choked with embarrassment on his face, and could only echo with a stiff smile: "Yes, yes." ”

said this, but his eyes were still looking at An Ruolan with pleading.

The third lady took a step forward and pretended to arrange An Ruolan's hair, blocking Meng's gaze.

An Ruolan couldn't help but feel funny.

Since the uncles think about her so much, how can she waste the kindness of the uncles?

Pursing her lips and smiling slightly, she pretended to be sleepy and yawned, rubbing the corners of her eyes and said vaguely: "It's okay, I still have the strength." Another yawn was spoken.

The second lady saw that she was deliberate, so she took this opportunity to step forward and said, "Ouch, I'm tired like this, hurry up and don't be reckless, hurry up and go back to the room to rest." ”

Then he also turned to Meng Shi, and persuaded him in a good voice: "You love this heart and liver the most, now she is trapped like this, are you still willing to let her be tired?" It's the same when I'll rest for a while and then go and gossip with you. ”

As he spoke, he pushed An Ruolan away.

Meng Shi clenched his handkerchief, and opened his mouth to block it, and it was not to block it.

The three sisters-in-law love Lan'er one by one, if she is reluctant to Lan'er at this time, won't she have to tell the truth?

But at this time, she was anxious to know what happened in Puji Temple, as well as her mother-in-law's thoughts and attitudes.

After hesitating, she could only watch the second lady take An Ruolan away.

Taking the obstruction of the three Murong clans as a run, Meng Shi felt very aggrieved, she said goodbye to a few people with a calm expression, and left in a hurry with people.

The third lady pouted behind her and shrugged her nose.

Thanks to the blessings of a few aunts, An Ruolan was able to freshen up and rest after a tiring journey.

I took a nap comfortably, and when I opened my eyes, it was already around the unitary hour, and the sky was full of sunshine like blood, reflecting the colorful glow in the sky.

Called Bailing to come over to serve and wash and change clothes, and used some tea and fruits, An Ruolan went to Songhe Hall to greet the old lady.

At that time, the old lady had woken up for most of the hour, and was talking with a group of sisters in the hall, and after she passed, many sisters gathered around her and greeted her.

She went back one by one, and she was very energetic after eating and sleeping.

The old lady knew that she was going to greet Meng, so she didn't keep her much, and asked her to go back quickly, and leave the sisters to eat together later.

An Ruolan responded with a full mouth, and went out happily.

When she arrived at Xinyue Garden, Meng was reading a book, and after Xia He's report, she was able to enter the door.

Thinking that she didn't need to report when she entered Songhe Hall now, she couldn't help but pout.

didn't see her in the front hall, Xia He led her to the door of the ear room on the side, lifted the curtain of the partition, and let her in by herself.

Suddenly, she was a little reluctant to go in.

After a pause, she finally stepped into the ear room.

Meng Shi leaned on the beauty couch to read a book, and when he saw her come in, he immediately put down the book and beckoned affectionately: "Lan'er, come here, let my mother take a good look." ”

An Ruolan walked in and blessed: "Mother." ”

Meng Shi took her hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be dark, and you have lost weight, but the temple food is not good?" If you knew this, your mother shouldn't have let you go, and she would have let you suffer and suffer. ”

The soft tone was full of pity and love.

An Ruolan smiled noncommittally, and only said: "My daughter has gained a lot from this trip. ”

Meng Shi's eyes flashed slightly, squeezed out a gentle smile, raised his hand to stroke the top of her head, and asked softly: "I heard the mother-in-law who came back to report the news, you have seen Master Chanzhen?" What a blessing. ”

After that, she glanced at An Ruolan from the corner of her eye, quietly looked at An Ruolan's expression, and waited for her to answer.

An Ruolan just bent the corners of her lips, and she didn't know if she noticed the temptation in her words, and said tamely and obediently: "Yes, everyone says that Master Chanzhen is a high-ranking monk, and it is a blessing to be able to see the true face." ”

This was not the answer Meng wanted at all.

Pinching her index finger crampedly, Meng forgot what Mama Li had taught her, and asked directly, "What did Master Chanzhen say to your grandmother?" (To be continued) R655
