294: Gratitude

Mrs. Mei forcibly took Mei Pujia out of the Hou Mansion.

On the way, Mrs. Mei held her stepdaughter's hand, "Fortunately, you are not stupid in the end, you know that you release the news to ask your mother's family for help, the Yang family does not have a good thing, the family is rotten, and you have a miscarriage to hide from us!" ”

Mei Pujia did think a lot after giving birth, from the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the relationship between husband and wife, she no longer planned to wronged herself, but there were some things she hadn't made up her mind yet, so she didn't think about letting her mother's family get involved.

At this time, Mei Pujia was also confused:

"It's not the news I put out."

Mrs. May was stunned by what she said, "Who else could it be if it weren't you?" The person who treated you was Dr. Sun, a well-known gynecological saint in the capital, who had a strict mouth and would not take the initiative to talk about your miscarriage, and most people did not know that he was going to Changxing Hou Mansion to see a doctor. ”

It's not that Mei Pujia is actively saving herself, so who is secretly helping?

Mrs. Mei brought her stepdaughter home, and Mei Hanlin was naturally furious.

Two hours later, Yang Daiying came to Mei's house to apologize, but Mei Hanlin didn't even let Yang Daiying enter the door, and didn't want to see her son-in-law at all.

As for whether Yang Daiying has stepped down, Mei Hanlin thought of her daughter who had a miscarriage, so she was not in the mood to care about her son-in-law.

The contradiction between the Mei and Yang families intensified, Mei Pujia lived in her mother's house to raise her body, Yang Daiying ran several times and failed to enter the door, some people said that the Mei and Yang families were probably going to break off their relationship-

Cheng Qing made people pay attention to the movements of the Mei family, but they never expected Miss Mei's stepmother to be so fierce.

Cheng Qing was a little dumbfounded.

I wanted to help Miss Mei, but I wanted to help Miss Mei to reconcile, which Cheng Qing definitely didn't expect.

But if Miss Mei really wants to get along, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

The person concerned will know if the shoes fit or not.

If Miss Mei doesn't want to continue living with Yang Daiying, it's definitely not just for one thing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, and Guozijian had already taken annual leave, and Meng Huaijin sent Cheng Qing a New Year's gift.

She said that there was a needle hidden in the ring, and Meng Huaijin said that it was too feminine and didn't get it for her.

But the hand crossbow tied to her wrist, Meng Huaijin made it for her.

"If you want to rely on this to defend yourself, you have to practice archery more in your spare time."

Cheng Qing couldn't put down this delicate hand crossbow, "Thank you, senior brother!" ”

This hand crossbow shoots five arrows at a time, Meng Huaijin said that there are three non-toxic ones, and two poisonous ones, although they are sharp weapons for self-defense, they are basically disposable, and this hand crossbow will be abolished after the five crossbow arrows are shot, I hope Cheng Qing can be cautious when using them.

It's not that I'm afraid that Cheng Qing will kill innocents indiscriminately, but sometimes people are killed in the aftermath, and the enemy will not rob and kill them on the street every time.

Cheng Qing herself is not a murderer, and she can't do such a thing as giving an arrow to anyone who doesn't like her eyes.

Only when his own life is threatened, Cheng Qing will use two poisonous crossbow arrows.

Meng Huaijin gave her a total of three hand crossbows, Cheng Qing tried it with her own door panel, standing a foot away can shoot the door panel half-through, the flesh and blood can not resist, the arrow also enlarged the blood groove according to her requirements and made a barb, not to mention the poisonous crossbow arrows, even the ordinary three are also very troublesome.

Cheng Qing saw the power of the crossbow and was even more satisfied.

Meng Huaijin said that this thing is difficult to build, and Cheng Qing is quite lost.

She also wanted to give each of the family members a crossbow, but she had to dispel this idea.

Meng Huaijin talked about the last time she was robbed and killed, and inevitably mentioned the three princes:

"The third prince is a little wrong, he is a prince of his maternal family who is not prominent, he can do several errands beautifully in a row, I used to think that the third prince was particularly capable."

"Isn't it?"

"It's hard to say, it seems that there is a force secretly supporting the three princes."

So, can the third prince really dispose of his tail after sending someone to rob her?

The third prince has the strength to do this, but Cheng Qing still can't understand the motive of the third prince for doing this.

Is it to see that she is not pleasing to the eye, or is she deliberately trying to frame Roujia?

Although Cheng Qing got a weapon for self-defense, he didn't go out to do anything, and he honestly spent the New Year at home.

Cheng Qing was afraid that Zhou Heng would be lonely in the hall alone, so he also invited him to celebrate the Spring Festival together.

That night, the door of Cheng's house was knocked open, and someone claimed to be a descendant of Meifu and was ordered to give Cheng Qing a New Year's gift.

Zhou Hengqi said: "Mei Hanlin still gave you a gift?" ”

What kind of reason is this, according to the rules, it should be them, the people from Xuandu, who are from the capital, to give gifts to fellow officials, but Mei Hanlin in turn gave Cheng Qing a New Year's gift.

Cheng Qing was suspicious because of Miss Mei's matter, and the subordinates of the Mei Mansion did not say it directly, only saying that one gift was given to Miss Cheng by Mrs. Mei, which was some worthless gadgets, and the other gift was given to Cheng Qing by Mei Hanlin.

What Mrs. Mei gave to Cheng Hui was a wooden box.

Cheng Qing shook the box, and there was a commotion inside.

As for the gift Mei Hanlin gave her, Cheng Qing opened it directly, and there were no mundane things such as gold and silver inside, but a copy of "Analects".

Cheng Qing was a little incomprehensible.

"I inadvertently did Mei Hanlin a little favor."

It was really just a little favor, and before she even really made a move, Mrs. May was very strong and brought Miss Mei home.

Cheng Qing sent the wooden box to Cheng Hui, Cheng Hui already had morning sickness, and she had no appetite for any delicacies in front of her, but her spirit was not bad, Dr. Sun said that she didn't need to force her to eat, and this discomfort would be relieved in a month or two.

Cheng Hui opened the wooden box given by Mrs. Mei, and it contained most of the pearls, all of which were the size of fingertips, round and clear, and pearlescent.

"Xiaolang, this is too valuable, it is useless, hurry up and send it back!"

Cheng Hui felt hot when she held the wooden box.

It's not that she, Grandma Dong, has never seen the world, it's that she had no contact with the Mei family before, and she suddenly received a heavy gift, and Cheng Hui felt uneasy.

Cheng Qing didn't expect Mrs. Mei to be so generous.

So if you can casually take out a box of pearls as a thank you gift, the Mei family's family background is not thin, Cheng Qing can't figure out where the Changxing Marquis Mansion is not satisfied with Miss Mei's daughter-in-law.

Dong Jinqiu braved the snow to buy appetizing vegetable cakes for Cheng Hui, looked at a box of pearls, and thought hard for a long time: "Mei Hanlin is also a person from Xuandu, when he married this continuation, some people said that he valued the rich wealth of his stepfamily, Mrs. Mei does not lack this box of pearls, if Hui Niang likes it, she will stay, and we can send some gifts to the Mei family." ”

Cheng Qing also knew that women liked these things and agreed to keep pearls.

But when she and Dong Jinqiu bought a return gift and sent it to Meifu, Meifu had already closed its doors.

No one can understand Mei Hanlin's operation, and even more incomprehensible things are still to come - after the New Year, the emperor issued an order and appointed Mei Hanlin to be the chief examiner of the Chengping ten-year examination.

What does this mean?

On behalf of Mei Hanlin's holy grace.

It means that Mei Hanlin is about to ascend.

Only Cheng Qing looked at the "Analects" sent by Mei Hanlin years ago and was stunned - what is this, the examiner will personally leak the questions to her? !
