Chapter 92

In the past many years, there is not even a distinction between men and women in the concept of An Jiu, and I don't know what love is all about, "No." ”

Mei Jiu wondered, "Why can you make people lose their proportions?" ”

In Mei Jiu's heart, Mei Ruyan has always been a very strong and assertive woman, she can treat people and things in all aspects, and she can hardly find any mistakes, and now even she can see that a person like Mr. Mo will not be a lover of any woman, what will Mei Ruyan be unable to extricate herself from?

Both of them thought seriously for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Anjiu was woken up by the sound of footsteps coming and going outside.

It was still early, Mei Jiu hadn't woken up yet, and An Jiu sat in front of the dressing table with a serious face and let Yao Ye fiddle with it.

Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Haruka said softly, "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the rules, you have to eat the mansion and get together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the lady has to dress up to be more joyful." ”

Growing up in the West, Yasuku didn't know about these festivals, and she wasn't interested, and when she noticed that Umeku had woken up, she let go of her control over her body.

Mei Jiu was not fully awake yet, and he couldn't control his body for a while, so he fell backwards obliquely.

Yaoye hurriedly supported her, "What's wrong with the lady?" But uncomfortable? ”

Mei Jiu said confusedly, "I...... I'm still a little sleepy. ”

Haruka put her mind at ease and continued to comb her hair.

This dynasty likes plain and elegant colors, and the lady of the good family rarely wears red and green, but every New Year's festival and wedding events are exceptional.

Yaoye admired it for a long time, and praised it sincerely, "The lady has a good appearance of the city." ”

One sentence reminded Mei Jiu's sadness again, no matter how good a woman's appearance is, she is not as good as a good family background. In the future, if you marry a husband who is the right person, that person does not need to be handsome or talented. Just hope that he is a man with a gentle temper and no bad habits.

Thinking of this, Mei Jiu's face turned red, and he said in his heart that what was wrong with him, he actually thought of this kind of thing.

After breakfast, Mei Jiu went to play with Mei Ruyan, but who knew that she was empty, and asked the maid who sprinkled the yard, but she didn't know where she went.

Yaoye whispered, "Today's clan school is suspended, does the slave think that Fifteen Niang has gone to find Mr. Mo in private?" ”

"Who is Mr. Mo? I remember that the scholar next to Zhao Shanchang said that he was a merry and talented man when he was young. He was also a tanhualang. Mei Jiu was puzzled, "Why do you say that he is the killer of the Ethereal Villa?" ”

Yao Ye said, "That identity is just a disguise, he did go to participate in the imperial examination, and won the Tanhualang in one fell swoop, at that time, I don't know how many ladies secretly agreed, attracting countless powerful people to catch their sons-in-law." ”

Nowadays, marriage matching is not very demanding, and compared with the Tang Dynasty, there is no clear distinction between the family and the commoners. Nowadays, talent and money have also become important criteria for the elite to choose a son-in-law, but some Qingliu celebrities look down on businessmen, so they prefer talented and promising young people.

They will inquire about those young people who meet the requirements in all aspects in advance before the imperial examination, and send people to guard the list when it is released. Once he found out about high school, he immediately discussed family affairs with him, which was called "catching a son-in-law under the list".

"As for the reason why he went to participate in the imperial examination, I heard that it was because of a business." Haruka added.

The business of Ethereal Hills is nothing more than murder.

Put it this way. Mei Jiu understood that Mr. Mo was not really dissatisfied with his ranking when he was hit by Tanhua, but because such an eye-catching position was not suitable for killers to hide their identities.

Mei Jiu said regretfully. "Why do such young talents want to be killers?"

"I heard that Mr. Mo grew up in the Ethereal Villa, so I can't help myself." Yaoye looked at the mountain of clan studies, and felt that he would not be able to wait for Mei Ruyan to come back for a while, "Lady, let's go back." ”

"Hmm." Umekudo.

The two went back to Yuweiju, very bored, and found some red paper to accompany her to cut window flowers, and soon after sitting down, Mei Ruyan came to her.

"Sister." Mei Ruyan's new rouge dress set off a pretty face, but her mood was very low.

"Come and sit down." Mei Jiu didn't inquire about her private affairs.

Mei Ruyan took the scissors and cut them for a while, but she couldn't help but want to confide, "Sister doesn't ask me where I went?" ”

"I want to ask, I'm afraid you won't want to say." Mei Jiu said honestly.

"I went to Mr. Mo and cooked him a meal, but unfortunately people didn't appreciate it." Mei Ruyan laughed at herself, "Am I very unreserved when I rush to paste it myself?" ”

Mei didn't say anything for a long time, and she agreed with her statement. Mei Jiusan has read too much of Side's books and will naturally restrain himself, while Mei Ruyan grew up in a brothel since she was a child, and she is completely different in terms of feelings.

"I know the truth, but I can't let go of it." Mei Ruyan lowered her eyes and looked at the red paper in her hand, and there was a little more sorrow on her face that had always been smiling.

"There is a sentence that the slave and maid don't know whether to say or not." Yaoye put a cup of tea in front of Mei Ruyan.

"Say it." Mei Ruyan looked up at her.

Yao Ye said, "After you arrive in Meizhuang, you don't know anyone except the lady, and getting along with Mr. Mo day and night will inevitably give birth to affection, and it may not be that kind of affection." ”

It's just a matter of coaxing Mei Jiu, Mei Ruyan has already understood the affairs of men and women at the age of seven or eight, how can she not distinguish between the relationship between master and apprentice and the relationship between men and women?

She smiled faintly and stopped talking.

Yao Ye silently changed the topic, "I want to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, maybe I have to keep the New Year, tomorrow morning I have to go to the elders to ask for peace, the two ladies will go to bed to squint for a while after lunch, otherwise they can't hold on." ”

There are few rules in Meizhuang, but people can't ignore it, even on weekdays, and the number of festivals is inevitable.

After Mei Ruyan had lunch in Yuweiju, she went back to her residence with Yuyue to take a rest, waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

There is a banquet hall in the Mei Mansion, and every big festival, the entire Mei family will be summoned to come to the banquet.

There is not only a plum village in the plum blossoms, but there are also villages composed of Mei's side branches outside the plum village, and today's night banquet also includes them.

The banquet of more than 900 people can be described as a grand occasion.

The banquet began to be prepared one after another in winter, and by this evening, the banquet hall in the front yard was already bustling, children playing in groups, two rows of huge screens separated the banquet hall on both sides, leaving a road in the middle, the old people sitting at the top, the young and middle-aged people were all newly gathered at the bottom to talk together, and the women on the other side.

Throughout the year, there is only such a moment when Meizhuang will be full of life, and everyone will have a smile on their faces.

At this time, the ancestral hall was full of smoke and incense, and it was solemn.

According to the custom of previous years, before the banquet, Mei Zhengyan led the descendants of the Mei family to worship their ancestors.

After the worship, everyone went to the side hall and took their seats.

"Has the news ever spread?" Mei Zhengyan asked.

Mei Zhengjing said, "It's been spread, it's up to her to be fooled." ”

In order to find out who the master of the old lady of the big house was, they did not hesitate to spread the news that the Mei family wanted to break away from the crane army and go into seclusion.

The white bone in Elder Qi's hand hit the ground one by one, and let out an undisturbing bang, "Until now, the old man still feels that it is too risky. ”

After a moment of silence, Mei Zheng said, "We are on the cusp of the storm, whether she is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country or the eyeliner planted by the saint, it is pushing the Mei family to the cliff and has to fight." ”

"That being the case, secret handling is ......" Elder Qi, like Mei Zhengyan, acts as a conservative.

Assassination is one of Mei's best jobs, as long as the head of the family gives an order, there is a way to make the old lady disappear.

"We want to go to the hidden world and don't want to rebel, even if this matter is known by the saint, we will only think that we are chilled by the matter of the Knowles, even if we don't say this matter, the saint will speculate, he confirms our thoughts, and he will definitely be suspicious of several other families." Mei Zhengjing's fingers gently stroked the embroidery on the wide sleeves, "It's just right to drag them into the water." ”

"You're trying to rebel?" An elder lowered his voice.

Mei Zhengjing's eyes were cold, "It's self-preservation." ”

The incompetence of the superior forced the courtiers to protect themselves in this way.

"The old man does not have the vision of Elder Zhi, but he also knows that the family motto of the Mei family is 'loyalty and righteousness', and now the Liao State is eyeing the tiger and may attack at any time, if the generals in the court are like us, it is better to give the Great Song Dynasty to others, so as not to suffer from the war." Elder Qi slowly got up, ready to leave.

Is it Gu Xiaojie, or is it Quan Dayi? Mei Zhengjing didn't think about it, but let him serve such a master, he really couldn't swallow this breath.

"Whatever you want, I don't care!" Mei Zhengjing brushed his sleeves away, and really said that he would let go.

Several elders looked at Mei Zhengyan.

"Do what you do." Mei Zhengyan said.

The elders stopped answering, acquiescing in the decision.

As the twilight deepened, the night banquet was about to begin, and several people left the ancestral hall and went to the banquet hall.

Not long after he went out, a medicine boy hurriedly ran over, "Elder, the medicine house is out of water!" ”

Elder Qi furrowed his brows, and his first reaction was that Mo Sigui was in trouble again, "What's the matter?" ”

"It was the alchemy furnace that exploded." The medicine boy said hurriedly, "Brother Mo is leading people to put out the fire." ”

"I'll go back and see." Elder Qi pulled his legs and ran, this is still worth it, there are many precious medicinal materials that have been painstakingly collected for many years in the medicine house, and it usually hurts like cutting flesh at all, if it is burned by a fire, let him not live!

Mei Zhengyan instructed the servants to bring twenty people over to help, and then went to the banquet hall with several elders.

People arrived one after another, and the two old ladies were the main ones on the woman's side, Mei Jiu, Mei Ruyan, and Mei Ruhan were sitting at the old lady's hand, and Mei Ruhan's aunt was standing behind the old lady and waiting.

There are only a few women left in the big house.

Compared with the coldness here, the second room is much more lively, and the girls of all sizes gather in front of the second old lady to offer courtesy, and the second old lady glanced at the old lady, full of spring breeze pride.

The old lady snorted from her nose and lowered her eyes to drink tea quietly.
