Chen Wenlin looked at Mei Ying's expression and said with a smile: "It's okay. We have a mother and a queen to take care of us. You can rest assured. ”

Mei Ying felt better, but she was still very nervous and asked, "How are you preparing this gift?" ”

Chen Wenlin said: "You don't have to worry about this, your mother has taken care of it." You can expect to receive a lot of gifts tomorrow. ”

Mei Ying thought about it, Mrs. Chen is so capable, she must have arranged it properly.

Chen Wenlin asked: "Hurry up and take out the red envelopes given by grandmother, grandfather, aunt, and uncle." ”

Mei Ying hurriedly took it out, Chen Wenlin looked at it, couldn't laugh anymore and said, "It's really interesting." Both the grandparents gave a hundred taels of silver. The uncles and uncles were sixty taels of silver. This is something that can be taken out. It seems that we will lose a lot when we go back to the mansion. No wonder my mother wants to give us 80,000 taels of silver, just to subsidize our loss, right? ”

Mei Ying laughed and said, "Where, even if we have losses, we don't have as much as 80,000 taels of silver." ”

Chen Wenlin and Mei Ying talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Xiao Chen's house.

After arriving at Xiao Chen's house, the servants in the family were all ready, and they asked Chen Wenlin and his family to say goodbye to them one by one according to their seniority and position. Among them, there are also stewards outside, such as Qingjian and his wife, Qingshuang and his wife, Ziyu and his wife, Yinhong's father, Feiguang and his wife, and Chen Wenlin introduced them one by one.

This Mei Ying had already prepared and gave a reward.

After a busy day, it was finally time for dinner, and Mei Ying was about to change her clothes and go to serve her mother-in-law for dinner. Chen Wenlin came over and said: "We also have a small kitchen in the yard. It's all ready. We ate in our own room. Mother doesn't have to go there. ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "How can that work? How can you not serve your mother-in-law to eat? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Our family does not have those rules. Also, we don't have an aunt in our family, which are two major characteristics. ”

Mei Ying didn't believe it, at this time, the big girl next to the Bai family, the red carp, came over and said, "Madame just invite the second young grandmother and the second young master to eat in her own yard." Also, my wife asked me to tell the second young grandmother that our family doesn't need to serve my mother-in-law to eat, we don't need to make rules, we just have something to do. It's okay to have nothing to do in your own yard. It's okay to go out. However, when you go out, you have to ask the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and the people and guards who follow it. ”

Mei Ying hurriedly agreed. Personally send the red carp out.

After coming back, Mei Ying's face was strange, and Chen Wenlin said, "How is it?" You don't believe what I'm saying. Now believe it, right? ”

Mei Ying said: "Our family is really strange. If only the girls of Da Chu knew. It's strange not to cry and shout to enter our door. There are no concubines. Not to mention, you don't have to make rules to your mother-in-law, really. Hey, I don't know what to say. No wonder my sisters-in-law said that my life is good, and I am blessed to be married, maybe they didn't think that I would be blessed like this. ”

Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "There are also hard times, just look at the sister-in-law." Big brother is busy outside. Not to mention that the sister-in-law is alone in the empty house, she also has to take care of her children, manage her business, and manage the affairs of Xinguang City. Now the affairs of Yizhou Island are managed by my sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is getting busier and busier. ”

Mei Ying couldn't help but say: "Oh, I don't have this ability, it seems that I really have to learn from my sister-in-law." ”

The little couple talked affectionately while eating.

The next day, early in the morning, the Bai family dressed up and went to the palace with Mei Ying and Chen Wenlin, who were also dressed up.

When they arrived at the palace, the queen's eldest palace maid Yu'er was waiting for her, and took them directly to the queen's palace. There, Mei Ying met a group of warblers and Yanyan, the two concubines of the Chen family, the queen, Shi Guifei, and Zhao Concubine, as well as the emperor, and of course, the little princess, Princess Huichuan like a little fairy.

Mei Ying has been numb by the shock of this group of beauties. After saluting in a proper manner, he stood with his eyebrows lowered and pleasing to his eyes.

The emperor smiled and said, "Well, Mei's demure and gentle, queen, do you want to be rewarded?" ”

The queen said, "Can you not reward it?" The young couple brought gifts to each of us, especially Inovance. ”

The emperor was happy when he heard this, and said, "Well, yes, I have a heart." Then we're all going to be rewarded. Wen Lin, you come with me first, let your daughter-in-law chat with them, and we will go to the Qinzheng Hall to talk. In a moment, I will call Lai Qing to bring you your reward. ”

After saying that, he left. Everyone knelt down to send off the emperor.

Chen Wenlin had no choice but to follow the emperor. Fortunately, his mother stayed with Mei Ying, otherwise he would really be at ease.

Shi Guifei said: "Mei, I heard that you are a talented girl, can you draw?" ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "I have long heard that the concubine is a talented woman, painting with one hand, and her skills are extraordinary, although I can appreciate two strokes, but I dare not say that I can draw in front of the concubine." ”

Shi Guifei smiled when she heard it and said, "You are modest." Another day, when you are free, you will hand the sign into the palace, and we will talk together. In the past, when your sister Wen Hui didn't go out of Beijing, we often chatted, but unfortunately she has been gone for two years. Strange missing. ”

Concubine Zhao originally looked at Shi Guifei unpleasantly, and entered the palace with her, but unfortunately she is now a concubine, but she is already a concubine, and she is still above the fourth concubine. The harem is the most respectful and humble place, it is said that Zhao Concubine should not be guilty of the following, but what kind of person is Zhao Concubine, she has been pampered since she was a child, and a few years ago she was afraid of the cruel methods of Wan Guifei in the palace, so she kept a low profile for a while. But now Concubine Wan is dead, and the queen is in charge of the palace. The queen has always been lenient with the queen, and Concubine Zhao was the first person to take refuge in the queen, so the queen gave her face. Recently, the Zhao family has made military exploits in the northwest, so Concubine Zhao is restless, she said: "The concubine Niangniang misses the master, right?" Or do you miss your brothers and sisters? ”

There are too many ambiguities in what she said, and Shi Guifei's face was flushed with anger, but she was not used to arguing with others, so she could only be angry. After Concubine Zhao finished speaking, she didn't pay attention to the angry Concubine Shi, but turned around to talk to Concubine Chen De.

Bai glanced at Concubine Zhao and didn't make a sound, and the queen didn't hear it, and said to Mei Ying gently, "You're going back tomorrow, right?" How long can you stay in the capital after returning home? I heard that you are going to Luzon with Wenlin, right? ”

Mei Ying hurriedly replied: "Originally, I was going to stay and serve my parents, but my parents asked me to follow my husband to Luzon. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you see where I need to serve, as long as their young husband and wife are harmonious and work together to run Tianshui City, it is filial piety to us, isn't it?" ”

The queen smiled and said, "Wenlin's daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about your parents, they are in the prime of life, where can they use their daughter-in-law to serve?" Am I still calling her here? You follow Wen Lin to Tianshui City, study like your sister-in-law, help Wen Lin take care of Tianshui City, and then give our Chen family a branch as soon as possible, this is the greatest filial piety, and I will have a reward at that time. ”

Mei Ying was ashamed of it. Concubine Chen De's eyes were lively, and she hurriedly said: "Brother and daughter-in-law, if you can give our Chen family a branch earlier, I will also have a reward here." ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Chen Defei with appreciation, and felt that her niece was still sensible, much more worry-free than those Shi Guifei, Zhao Concubine and the like. It seems that in the future, we can't treat everyone equally, and we still have to be biased.

The queen said, "Concubine De, I heard that you have recently rehearsed a new dance, right?" If it's arranged, you can invite me and the emperor to watch it. ”

Do you need to talk about such a good thing? Isn't this a clear way to take care of her? Concubine Chen Defei was very happy after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "It's already arranged, why don't I prepare a banquet tomorrow and invite the mother and the emperor to enjoy it?" ”

The queen nodded and said, "Well, so be it." Wenlin's daughter-in-law, did you go to see your grandparents yesterday? ”

Mei Ying hurriedly replied: "I have met, and my grandparents have also rewarded my nephew and daughter-in-law with a lot of things." I'm ashamed. ”

The queen smiled and said, "What are you ashamed of? If you are ashamed, let's give our Chen family a branch as soon as possible. ”

Everyone laughed. After chatting for a while, the Bai family took Mei Ying to go back, and the queen stayed a few times and let the two of them go back.

On the way back, the eunuchs and palace maids successively sent over the things rewarded by various palaces.

Bai asked Mei Ying to make her carriage and said, "The two of us will go back first, and we will prepare the things you will return to tomorrow, Wenlin will be a little late, we won't wait." Just leave him a carriage. ”

Although Mei Ying was a little worried, she heard her mother-in-law's instructions, so she had to follow Bai home.

When he returned home, Bai asked Mei Ying to take back all the things she had been rewarded, asked the maids to register in the warehouse, and asked, "How do you feel about entering the palace today?" ”

Mei Ying smiled and said: There are so many struggles in the palace. When we enter the palace for a while, they also have to fight for a while, and they are not afraid of the jokes of outsiders like us? ”

Bai Shi sneered and said, "What is a little quarrel? There are even more cruel things, so ah, I want you all to leave this circle of right and wrong, and go to Luzon, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and you can be the masters of your own affairs, how good it is. ”

Mei Ying thought about it too, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's still my mother who feels sorry for me." If I had to deal with these things, I would definitely not be able to cope with them. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "Who is born with it, it's not forced." However, I'm used to it, don't be afraid, you're still young, you can't be guilty of following the crime, let's go to Nanyang, it's more free. Wen Hui, that kid, doesn't want to stay in the capital for a quarter of an hour, and thinks about finding a chance to run out every day. No, I haven't been back for two or three years since I went to Nanyang. I'm okay, I met her in Shinguang City during the Chinese New Year. But your father hasn't seen her for a few years, and he misses her so much. ”

Mei Ying smiled. (To be continued......)
