Meng Jiao's words passed over, and Shen Yunxiao's side replied almost immediately, saying that they would come over immediately when they were cleaned up, Meng Jiao didn't know what Shen Yunxiao had to clean up, but they had just moved over, and it would take a while to get it really right.

"The slave maid heard that the ancestors of the Shen family are from the south, so Shen Shuai probably likes sweets."

"Really? Then tell me to go down, make a few more sweets, and then just set the table in the courtyard, and if the houses are not cleaned up, there is no need to welcome Shen Shuai in. ”

When Shen Yunxiao came to the banquet, there were already three or four small dishes on the table, Meng Jiao saw him come in, got up to salute, the bell hanging on his body jingled, it was pleasant, Shen Yunxiao only felt that this girl not only looked deep in his heart, but also this little bell shook into his heart.

"Before, the abrupt gift-giving, caused trouble to the little lady, Yun Xiao made amends here, visited today, and specially picked a few new pearl hairpins, this is the joy of the housewarming of the little lady, there is no side meaning, and I hope the little lady will smile."

Meng Jiao bowed and took the brocade box in Shen Yunxiao's hand, there were indeed only a few beads in it, but it was not difficult to see that Shen Yuntong still put his heart into it, the color and pattern of the bead hairpin were not repeated at all, and more importantly, there was a flower created on the bead hairpin, which happened to be Meng Jiao's favorite caryophyllus.

"I don't know the general's taste, so I made these sweet dishes according to the taste of the southerners, and the general is used to eating them?"

"The little lady is polite, Yun Xiao is just a guest, naturally you can eat anything, and the little lady Lao is bothered."

Then the two of them fell into a kind of silence, Meng Jiao didn't like to talk, Shen Yunyu really had no experience in dealing with girls, especially, Shen Shuai, who got along with the girl he liked and was used to holding a sword, for the first time he had a sense of powerlessness that he didn't know where to start.

Halfway through the meal, Cuijin took something out of the house, Meng Jiao looked at it and found that it was the box left by Xue Wan.

"Little madam, this box is very shabby, the slave doesn't know what it does, and she doesn't dare to make a private claim, please see if you want it or not."

"Take it, send it out another day and ask someone to polish it, and find someone to repair the things inside, if it can't be repaired, just keep it as it is."

Shen Yunxiao glanced at the dilapidated box, and at a glance, he knew that it was already what it was more than ten years ago, even if it was sent out to find someone to repair, I was afraid that it would be useless.

"This box... But what does it mean in particular? If not, the little lady doesn't have to send someone to go this way, this box is seriously damaged, it has been about ten years, and no matter how good the master is, he can't repair it. ”

"I'm not obsessed with repairing, this box was left to me by my mother, and staying with me is just a thought."

Shen Yunxiao didn't know how to describe it, the moment he mentioned his mother, Meng Jiao's whole body felt cold, and it took him a lot of effort to restrain his urge to hug this girl into his arms, but he was distressed, and it had nothing to do with Fengyue.

However, Shen Yunxiao suddenly thought that the current wife of the Meng family was still alive, and when she sent something to the house last time, the people below also said that it was the lady of the Meng family who personally accepted the gift, how could you listen to Meng Jiao's tone just now, it seems that the lady of the Meng family is no longer there.

"The little lady is the young lady of the Meng family, and the current head of the Meng family, isn't she still alive?"

"The current head of the Meng family is my father's second wife, and my mother is the daughter of Xue Guogong back then, Xue Wan."

When the name Xue Wan landed, the wine glass in Shen Yunxiao's hand fell on the table with a "clang", and then rolled to the ground, and the fine white porcelain wine glass shattered to the ground, Shen Yunxiao didn't realize it, just looked at Meng Jiao in front of him fixedly, and came back to his senses for a while.

"Xue Wan... Are you, Aunt Xue's daughter? Didn't you say that Aunt Xue had a difficult birth and had a bloody collapse back then? How you... You're alive? ”

"My mother had a difficult childbirth and blood breakdown, but I was not stillborn, I was just thrown out as a bad star, and I stayed in the Zhuangzi for thirteen years... Listen to the general, and also know my mother? ”

From Shen Yunxiao's here, Meng Jiao heard another dusty past, eighteen years ago, Miss Xue and Xu, Shen Yunxiao's father happened to be weak, the two families can be regarded as world friends, Xue Guogong likes Shen Yunxiao's father, but Xue Wan likes a poor scholar, Xue Guogong once asserted that Meng Zhongting is unreliable, but Xue Wan pounces on Meng Zhongting.

"My father was unwilling to embarrass his loved ones, and voluntarily let go, so Xue Guogong agreed to the marriage of Aunt Xue and the head of the Meng family, after the two of them got married, my father left Beijing to go to the border pass, and later heard that the Xue family was in trouble, and my father wanted to rush back from the border pass, but it happened that the border war broke out again, and my father delayed for several months, and when I came back, it was the news that Aunt Xue died of blood, one corpse and two lives."

Shen Yunxiao didn't say anything more when he said this, and there was nothing in the back, but his father angered the emperor in order to find out about this matter, and he was punished in the mansion for three months.

"Father didn't believe you were alive, but... After searching for five or six years, there was really no trace, so I slowed down the search, and then my father... died on the battlefield, and entrusted this matter to me before he died, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

Shen Yunxiao didn't expect that the girl who fell in love at first sight for the first time in more than 20 years turned out to be the daughter of the deceased whose father could not find in his life, he was a general who killed and punished, and naturally did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but at this moment, he felt that the word fate that the Buddha said was really wonderful.

Meng Jiao was really stunned when she heard this, she never thought that her mother still had such a relationship with Shen Yunxiao's father before her death, but what she was more curious about now was what Shen Yunxiao's father and Meng Zhongting said at that time, which led to an unhappy breakup, if nothing else, it should also be talking about her mother.

"Dare to ask General Shen, do you know how the love between my father and mother was back then?"

Meng Jiao's words made Shen Yunxiao a little stunned, and the latter eased his mind a little, and asked, "Little lady's words... What is the meaning? ”

"Since the general is the son of my mother's deceased, it is inconvenient for me to hide more, my mother's bloody death was another hidden secret, I have verified in many ways, and it has been determined that the culprit is my second mother Liu Qingqing, but there is no evidence, but today I heard what the general said, but I feel that what happened back then does not seem to be so simple, this culprit, maybe someone else is unknown."
