Chapter 216: Heart-to-heart
"Your Majesty is so gracious, but it really puts the little lady on the cusp, although the little lady is Your Majesty's savior, but such a gift... It's too much to go beyond the rules. ”
Mama Lin was a little worried, and as soon as she said this, several little maids who packed up the gifts also frowned.
They were all so happy that they forgot that it was not in order.
The rest of the people received the reward in strict accordance with the rules of the ancestors, but Meng Jiao's reward was several times richer, isn't it equivalent to putting Meng Jiao in the public target?
"Even if you are in the target of the public, this gift has been given, and the emperor's favor has never been sent back, so take it, the New Year is always rewarded, and it will not be too difficult to have these things."
Meng Jiao gave the order, and Cui Jin and the others naturally obeyed.
It's just that Meng Jiao specially explained that the plaque of the Night Pearl is a very ostentatious object, and it must not be used at the door of the Qianjing Mansion.
"Your Majesty's move probably has another deep meaning, one is to reward the little lady, and the other is for the love of the deceased, and third, the contradiction between our Majesty and the Queen Mother is not shallow."
Mama Lin saw this matter most thoroughly, and the Queen Mother didn't like Meng Jiao, so the reward was not very eye-catching.
It is impossible for the emperor not to know this, but he still rewarded Meng Jiao generously, and in the eyes of those who have a heart, this is a signal of discord between the queen mother and the emperor's mother and son.
"The queen mother is strong and wants to control the emperor, and the emperor has been in power for many years, and he is no longer the child she was in charge of, so the two are opposed, I don't know who will be cheaper, about Concubine Nankang and King Nankang."
The discord between the queen mother and the emperor will inevitably cause many turmoil.
And these turmoil will definitely cheapen the political enemies, and the queen mother and the emperor need to be on strict guard, and now there are only Concubine Nankang and King Nankang.
"The little lady sees it very thoroughly, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits, but I don't know how big the crack between the queen mother and the emperor is, and what is the root of this crack."
Mama Lin didn't know, but Meng Jiao had some guesses.
The rift between the two must be related to Xue Wan's death and the defeat of the Xue family.
If it's not the source of the crack, it's not far off.
"Royal Mixin, let's not discuss it openly here, it doesn't have much to do with us now, and if we have something to do with it in the future, let's dig deeper, it's twenty-eight today, please go down and prepare, go back to Meng's house to have a look."
The Meng family had already sent someone to send the letter, Meng Jiao made sure that the New Year's Festival was not at home, Meng Zhongting in order to look good, let people prepare a big banquet today, and the family had a reunion on the New Year's Day.
Meng Jiao originally wanted to take Meng Yuan and Liu Shaoyue back together, and it could be regarded as a family reunion, after all, they were all the daughters of the Meng family.
But who knows, Liu Shaoyue excused herself and said that she wanted to avoid suspicion, so Meng Yuan simply said that she would not go, Meng Jiao had no choice, and she didn't want to force the two of them, so she left Cuijin Cuiwi to take care of them in the house, and returned to the Meng family with Mama Lin and Cuisleeve, and a royal gift in a carriage.
Usually, Liu Qingqing was waiting at the door, and when she suddenly changed to a peach apricot, Meng Jiao was still a little uncomfortable.
"Greetings to the little lady as a concubine, Wan An, little lady."
"Sanniang get up, I haven't seen you for a long time, Sanniang's complexion is getting better and better."
Tao Xing smiled with Meng Jiao, both of them knew that without Liu Qingqing, Tao Xing's complexion was naturally good, and Meng Jiao also got rid of a heart disease.
"I should have sent a letter to the little lady early, but there was a little mess in the house recently, and I had to do it, so I was only a few days late."
The little mess that Tao Xing said happened to be the people Meng Jiao cared about the most.
Liu Qingqing's brother and sister-in-law, after hearing that their own cash cow sister died in the capital, rushed to the Meng family day and night.
"The two of the Liu family have been here for a few days, and the old man has been tireless, and he has been hiding out every day, and the little lady is back today, and the old man should come back a few days earlier."
"They're noisy here, but it's hard for you, and you have to take care of both sides."
Meng Jiao comforted Tao Xing softly, but the latter didn't feel hard, after all, this was Gao Zhi'er she chose herself, no matter how tired and bitter she was, she could only swallow it by herself.
It's just that between the words, it still reveals the dislike and impatience for the couple.
After all, although he is a guest from afar, he is still just a guest in the end, and it is really not a way to be a guest to be so noisy.
According to Meng Jiao's instructions, Tao Xing took her to the courtyard where the Liu family and his wife lived temporarily, and there were two maids standing at the door, and when they saw Tao Xing coming over, they seemed to see a savior.
"Madame! Madame, you can be considered to have come here, and the two in it are starting to make trouble again! ”
Tao Xing's face changed when she heard this, and she didn't care about Meng Jiao and followed, so she hurriedly walked in.
Sure enough, the yard was already a mess.
Liu Wei and his wife Wang staged "uprooting the weeping willows", and the miserable ancient tree in the yard was destroyed in the hands of the couple.
"It's no wonder that there is a sister like Liu Qingqing, but it turns out that my brother and sister-in-law are the same virtue, really, like things gather."
Before Tao Xing could speak, Meng Jiao spoke first.
Mama Lin, who followed behind, was a little surprised, Meng Jiao's scathing appearance was not only rare, but basically unique.
The husband and wife of the Liu family have been noisy and noisy for the past two days, and when they heard someone so sarcastic, they were naturally angry, Liu Wei wanted to come to Meng Jiao with his teeth and claws, but before he could come over, he was pressed to the ground by a few small servants brought by Tao Xing.
"Bold! In front of the little lady, she dares to be so presumptuous! ”
"What a big lady and a little lady! Lao Tzu doesn't admit it! Lao Tzu knew that my sister died in your Meng family! You have to give Lao Tzu an explanation! Otherwise, or Lao Tzu will let you walk around without eating! ”
Meng Jiao looked at Liu Wei, who was kneeling on the ground and still talking viciously, and then looked at Wang, who was frightened but still had a shrewd face, and gently hooked the corners of her lips.
"You want a statement? Why don't you just go to the criminal department and file a complaint? There is a Qingtian Lord there, if you have any grievances, he will naturally be able to give you a clear trial and ask for clarification. ”
Meng Jiao said a word about the criminal division, and it was visible to the naked eye, and Liu Wei's fat shook all over his body.
Tao Xing can be regarded as understanding, it turns out that these two people did not know that Liu Qingqing committed something before they were executed, on the contrary, it was precisely because the two of them knew that they did not dare to file a complaint with the Criminal Division first, and came directly to the Meng family.
The frightened Wang family over there now relieved himself, seeing that his husband was frightened by such a little girl, his angry willow eyebrows were upside down, he broke free from the shackles of the little girls on both sides, and rushed directly in front of Meng Jiao.
"Don't think that because we are from a small family, we don't know the dirty behavior of your big family! You are a wealthy family, and you must be familiar with the yamen in the capital, if we go, we may not have the life to come out! ”
Suddenly looking back.
