Chapter 258: Slightly Drunk
Mengbao stopped and looked at the Ye family beside him: "I still have some things to deal with in my house, so I won't go to Aunt Ye's place, Aunt Ye will stay." ”
Ye was originally afraid that she would have any trouble, so he made a special trip to relieve her, and did not really plan to take her to his yard, but when he heard her say this, he nodded with a smile: "Then the concubine will not leave the second aunt and grandmother." However, Master Hou did ask someone to bring back some things and let the concubine be handed over to the second aunt and grandmother. ”
Meng Bao was a little surprised when she heard this, she thought that this was just a reason for the Ye family to help her get out, but she didn't want it to be true.
The Ye family is just a concubine accepted by the Marquis of Zhenyuan in order to contain the Zhou family, and it stands to reason that even if he has something that he can't think of and the Zhou family's hand is directly handed over to Mengbao, he can directly send someone to the capital, or send it to the Dingnan Hou Mansion, and entrust the people of the Dingnan Hou Mansion to hand it over. And there is no need for a concubine of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion to hand it over to her.
After such a twist and turn, it seems that there is something sneaky and unsightly, and it is necessary to avoid people's eyes and ears.
But in the next moment, Meng Bao understood why Zhenyuan Hou did this.
Ye didn't send someone back to the courtyard to get anything, but directly took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve.
"Hou Ye heard that the second aunt and grandmother ran some businesses in Beijing by themselves, and was afraid that the second aunt and grandmother would not have enough silver, so he sent some silver taels back, and asked the concubine to take advantage of the second aunt and grandmother to return to Bei'an for the New Year, and find an opportunity to give it to the second aunt and grandmother. No, the concubine has been looking forward to you going back to the house, and this errand is also healed. Otherwise, so much silver is placed on the concubine's body, and the concubine's body is really unstable! ”
Mengbao looked at the silver ticket in front of him. I only felt that my eyes were hot, and my nose was a little sore.
Marquis Zhenyuan is not in the capital, even if he has a correspondence with Meng Bao, it is impossible to clearly understand her situation at all times.
Although Mengbao told him that his shop was doing well, he was still not at ease when he couldn't be by Mengbao's side in real time, and wanted to give his daughter more money to accompany him, so that when the shop was in trouble, there would be no money turnover.
Maybe they were afraid that the people of Dingnanhou Mansion would think that he felt that they couldn't take care of Mengbao if they found out, which made them feel guilty. I was afraid that this silver would not be easily transferred to her if it was handed over to the Zhou family, so I finally entrusted the inconspicuous Ye family.
Only a biological father would be so careful about his daughter, for fear that what he did was not good at all. It affected her daughter's life. Even if he pays, he is so cautious, afraid of causing any trouble to his daughter.
Mengbao stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket, shrugged his nose imperceptibly, and smiled at Ye's slightly: "Thank you, Aunt Ye." ”
"What's not to thank you for that. The silver was given to you by the Hou Ye. It was not given by a concubine. Ye said with a smile.
Mengbao smiled. didn't say anything more, said goodbye and left the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion directly.
…………………………
"Young lady! You're back! ”
Magpie trotted over, a smile on her face. I can't hide it.
Although Xi'er on the side looked a little calmer than her, she could also see that there was some joy between her eyebrows and eyes, even Mother Zhao.
"What's so much fun?" Mengbao asked puzzled.
Que'er looked around, didn't speak, and helped Mengbao into the hall, until there were only a few of them who often served by Mengbao's side in the room, and then they told the story of the Li family's suppression by the old lady.
Meng Bao couldn't help but sneer in her heart after hearing this, this Li family is too self-conscious, hasn't she seen it until now, her identity as the head of the house is just a decoration.
The old lady said that she was the head of the house, and she was. The old lady said that she was not, even if she had a name, at most she would exist in name only, and her status might not be comparable to that of her as a young lady.
To put it bluntly, the Dingnan Hou Mansion corrected her at the beginning, but the Hou Ye insisted on not wanting to marry again, and Shen Nanzhu did not marry a wife at that time, and the Hou Mansion needed a nominal housewife.
The old lady is not the kind of person who crosses the river to tear down the bridge and unload the mill and kill the donkey, if the Li family is honest, she will not completely abandon her as the nominal Mrs. Hou just because the Hou Mansion has a Mrs. Shizi. But the Li family didn't have this consciousness, and thought that she was the head of the house, and even the old lady should let her score three points.
The old lady is such a strong person, not to mention that the Li family just has an empty name, even if she is really a serious Mrs. Hou, there is no reason for her old lady to tolerate it, how can she be afraid of the Li family.
Mengbao didn't care much and took a sip of tea from the cup: "Don't worry about these little things, but the things that you should prepare well next time you go back to the capital." Most of the things in Liu's Mansion in the capital were purchased by Mr. Liu before, and they were not the things that the prince was used to. Since I have decided to live in Beijing this time, I naturally have to tidy up my life. When I go back, I ask you which things to take with you and which you don't need to bring, and if you can bring them, you will start to pick them up slowly, don't wait until it's too late to leave. ”
Everyone naturally nodded yes, and they responded happily.
While speaking, Shen Nanzhu came back from going out, his body was stained with the smell of wine that could not be dispersed, and his cheeks were also a little flushed.
Everyone knows that he has never liked people to serve closely, and he wants to retreat and is afraid that he will drink too much wine and not be sober, and Mengbao will not be busy alone, and he hesitates for a while and does not know whether to go or stay.
Shen Nanzhu waved his hand: "I'm fine, you can retreat." ”
Everyone looked at her and then at Mengbao, and when they saw Mengbao also nodded, they retreated.
After they all left and closed the door, Meng Bao frowned and walked to Shen Nanzhu's side: "Why do you drink like this?" ”
Shen Nanzhu has always been self-controlled, never greedy for cups, and drinking like this must be something that can't be shirked.
He smiled, took Mengbao's hand and put it on his cheek: "It's okay, it's just two more drinks, and my mind is still very clear." ”
Mengbao muttered: "People who drink too much will never say that they have drunk too much, they all feel that they are very clear-headed!" ”
Shen Nanzhu laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms: "It's because I'm anxious, thinking that I can go to the capital earlier after finishing my errands earlier." ”
The sooner she went to the capital, the sooner she could get rid of the trivial troubles of the Li family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Mengbao naturally knew in his heart, and bursts of warmth poured into his heart for a while.
"Smoked to death! Go get dressed. ”
She nudged Shen Nanzhu lightly and said.
His chest was poked twice by his soft fingertips, as if scratching Shen Nanzhu's heart.
"Bao'er dislikes me?"
He lowered his head and smiled against her cheek, his burning breath spraying onto Mengbao's white earlobe.
Mengbao's neck was crispy and numb, and he frowned and pushed him again: "Yes, it's disgusting, go change your clothes!" This wine smells ......"
The pearl-like earlobe was suddenly bitten gently, Mengbao's body trembled, and the next words were blocked in his throat.
I don't know if it's my own delusion, or if the smell of alcohol is really intoxicating, Mengbao only felt that Shen Nanzhu was a little more excited than usual, so much so that she refused to let go of even begging for mercy, and slowly withdrew until she was satisfied and comfortable.
Mengbao wanted to scold a few words, but he had more than enough strength and fell asleep tiredly. (To be continued.) )
