Song Yu thought for a while and said, "Check for me to see if this Meng Tianchu has any hobbies." ”

Mo'er hurriedly whispered: "The slave maid has also checked, this Meng Tianchu doesn't seem to have any hobbies like other officials on weekdays. ”

Song Yu was annoyed and said, "You say you are smart, but you are confused, but everyone will have weaknesses." ”

Mo'er: "What the eldest lady said is true, but I heard that this Lord Meng neither prostitutes nor gambles, but just likes to eat and drink." ”

Song Yu: "That's easy, go prepare some good wine, and we'll go to Meng Tianchu's house right away." ”

Mo'er said again: "But the eldest lady..."

Song Yu said impatiently, "What's wrong with you today?" How did it go all out? Say whatever you want. ”

Mo'er: "The slave maid also inquired about Lord Meng's drinking, and I heard that this Lord Meng only drinks one of his own self-brewed osmanthus wines, and those officials who want to get close to him on weekdays always take a lot of effort to give him gifts. ”

Song Yu sneered: "Hmph, I don't believe it, since I don't know what to send, then we will go empty-handed." ”

Seeing that Song Yu was angry, Mo'er didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to follow Song Yu.

Song Yu took Mo'er and the two maids to the Meng Mansion, and after getting out of the car, she saw two gorgeously dressed women walking out of the door, and the two women held hands and walked down the stairs with a smile, followed by four maids, dressed in the same color, each carrying a basket in their hands. Song Yu stepped forward and smiled to give a salute, and one of the two women said younger, "May I ask who you are?" ”

Song Yu hurriedly reported to the house, and the woman smiled and said to the woman next to her: "Our master went to the mansion." ”

Song Yu thought that since he came, he might as well meet the seven ladies who had come from this pretend, so he said, "I don't know what the girl is called?" ”

The older woman hurriedly said, "This is the seventh lady of my family, the daughter of the right political envoy."

Song Yu didn't want to listen to Mo'er give Meng Tianchu's wives before, who thought that the first woman he saw turned out to be the daughter of an official eunuch's family, Song Yu's heart tightened. Hurry up and bow down.

Jian Ning smiled and said, "Miss Song, don't be polite, this is the ninth lady who is about to pass through the door of my family, called Lin Ruofan." ”

Song Yu listened. Didn't you say that there are already seven ladies, why did there still be a prospective lady, and it was the ninth, so who was the eighth?

Song Yuzheng was puzzled, and Jian Ning said, "Ruofan, you go and tell the eldest lady, I won't go." I'll be waiting for you in the foyer. ”

Song Yu saw that the woman smiled at herself, and said, "Okay, that girl is waiting for me in the foyer." ”

Song Yu listened to them and couldn't guess their relationship with Meng Tianchu. I had to follow the woman into the door.

Entering the courtyard of Meng's house, Song Yu really began to be surprised from the heart, she went to Song Yuanqiao's mansion, and also went to Lord Cai Zhao's house, and then looked at Meng's mansion and couldn't help but marvel, into the courtyard, only to see two small sedan chairs in one place, Lin Ruofan: "Please Miss Song get on the sedan chair." “

Song Yu was puzzled. Lin Ruofan smiled and said, "The weather is hot, and the girl who walks from here to the courtyard of the eldest lady probably can't bear it." So we still go in a sedan car, so it's cooler. ”

It was the first time that Song Yu heard that he would continue to sit in a sedan chair after entering the gate, but it was not easy to refute the kindness of others, so he went to the sedan chair, and Mo'er and a few maids followed by the sedan chair.

Song Yu saw the palanquin man carefully carrying himself through a quiet corridor, and saw a pool of clear water, with lotus and lotus leaves between the clear water, and went on a delicate stone bridge, under which there were a few red carp and green carp playing leisurely. @@首@@发@突然听见一阵清脆的笑声. Song Yu looked around and saw a low-lying place not far away. There were a few well-dressed maids and a child about two years old playing by the river, and the children's laughter was loud, and Song Yu couldn't help but smile.

Lin Ruofan on the side said: "Miss Song, that's my eldest young master and the maid in the family are playing." ”

Song Yu: "Don't you worry about being so young?" ”

Lin Ruofan smiled and said: "The third lady said that children should not be spoiled and pampered, especially boys, they should be bolder. As long as the maids are bold and careful, it doesn't matter, our young master is very watery. ”

Song Yu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Is this your eldest lady's son?" "No, it's the third lady's, the eldest lady's is a young lady, not yet a year old, very beautiful."

Song Yu sighed, and then the sedan chair walked through a row of towering weeping willows and came to an arch, Song Yu: "This is here?" ”

Lin Ruofan: "This is our third lady's yard, our eldest lady is behind the third lady's yard, and we have to pass through a bamboo forest and an orchard to get there." ”

Song Yu was very surprised in his heart, no wonder this Lord Meng was not uncommon in anything, saying that his Song family was a big business, and he only knew what was a big business when he saw someone's yard.

Finally arrived at an arch full of roses, the sedan chair man fell off the sedan chair, Lin Ruofan took the initiative to help Song Yu get off the sedan chair after coming down, and entered the arch, only to see a garden first met Song Yu's eyes, Lin Ruofan explained: "My eldest lady likes roses, roses, and moon seasons the most, so the lord asked the gardener to plant some such flowers and plants in the eldest lady's yard." ”

Song Yu has seen a lot of such big families, most of the eldest ladies are furnishings, and this Meng Tianchu has seven or eight ladies, although he has only seen two, these two have already made people's eyes shine, I don't know what kind of woman Meng Tianchu's original wife is, Song Yu followed Lin Ruofan into a hall with curiosity, and saw a delicate-looking maid watering a pot of orchids in the hall, Lin Ruofan: "Chun Tao, go and tell the eldest lady that Miss Song is here." ”

Chun Tao hurriedly put down the watering can and stepped forward to salute Song Yu, and then walked out lightly.

After Lin Ruofan asked Song Yu to sit down, the maid soon brought tea, fruit and some water.

Song Yu saw that the teacup was a green new tea Longjing, and the fruits and fresh leaves on the plate were also very delicate and exquisite, it seemed that this Mengfu life was really luxurious.

Song Yu: "The fruit is really fresh. ”

Lin Ruofan: "I just told the young lady, behind our eldest lady's yard is a large orchard, seasonal fruits are available in our yard, and the snacks are handed over to the kitchen by our fourth lady, you can taste it." ”

Song Yu: "You four ladies still cook by yourself?" ”

Lin Ruofan smiled and nodded, Song Yu thought, this woman of the Meng family is really interesting, so many maids, who will believe what kind of dim sum the master does with his own hands?

Song Yu was thinking about it, only to see four women coming in from outside the door, the woman who walked in the front, dressed in a light green dress, with a pretty appearance, revealing a kind of nobility, and three behind him, wearing pink, blue and pale yellow dresses, all of them were pink lotus dew, apricot blossoms and smoke, smiling, looking like a fairy, Song Yu and a woman were stunned, and quickly got up and stepped forward.

Lin Ruofan pointed to the woman at the front and said, "This is our eldest lady." Then he pointed to the three women behind Xia Fengyi and said, "These are the second lady, the third lady and the fifth lady." Our third lady is in confinement, so it is inconvenient to meet guests. ”

Song Yu hurriedly saluted one by one, Xia Fengyi: "Miss Song doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and sit down and talk." ”

After everyone sat down, Xia Fengyi: "The master went to the mansion and hasn't come back yet, I don't know why Miss Song came this time?" ”

Song Yu: "I'm really tired of the eldest lady and the three ladies, Song Yu came this time, in fact, I want to ask the inspector when my brother can go home, my younger brother has been weak since he was a child, I heard that the prison is cold and damp, I am worried..."

Xia Fengyi looked at Zuo Jiayin, Zuo Jiayin took Song Yu's words, and said, "We don't know what Miss Song said, because the master has family rules, and our family members can't take care of the affairs of the yamen." ”

When Song Yu heard this, he said: "I also know this, I just want to see if a few ladies can help me plead with the Inspector, I really have no way to be a woman." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Miss Song, our master has always forbade us to go through the door, how can we say it, it's not that we don't help you, it's that we can't do anything." ”

Song Yu looked back at Mo'er, and when she saw that Mo'er gave her a look, she knew that it was useless to say more, so she got up and said goodbye.

After Song Yu and the others walked out of the gate of Meng's mansion and got into the car, Song Yu said: "Mo'er, I think these ladies of Meng Tianchu all have a background, haven't you checked?" Tell me about it. ”

Mo'er: "It's the third lady who rejected Miss just now, I heard that Lord Meng's favorite woman is hers." ”

"But I think this eldest lady is also outstanding, and she can't be underestimated." "What Miss said is that this eldest lady's father has now heard that he is also a member of the third rank in the capital."

"No wonder, at first glance, she is the daughter of a big family."

"Miss, have you noticed the second lady who hasn't spoken?"

"Attention, suave and elegant, and a stunning beauty."

"Exactly, this second lady's origin is even greater."
