Chapter 34: The Secret Web

Xiao Zhan didn't take the words that Xiao Zhan said to Ah Jin in Lan Yin Ji to heart. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test It wasn't until Song Wenyu came to her with the post that she remembered that there was such a thing.

"Meng Fu has sent a post, you can take a look." Song Wenyu directly handed the post to Ah Jin. Although Ah Jin knew about it, he still took it and glanced at it a few times, but found that there was not even Song Wenyu's name on the invitation post this time, and he came directly at him.

"Will you go then?" The answer was obvious, but Ah Jin couldn't help but ask again.

"My name doesn't even have my name on that post, so how can I get there." Song Wenyu said, subconsciously tapping his fingers on the table: "Speaking of which, this is the princess's Guining banquet, this time the Meng Mansion is also a coincidence, inviting the wife and daughter of the official family, and did not let the male guests go." “

In this way, it also avoids the embarrassment that the Song family received the post and no one went.

"You've already said this, it looks like I can't go if I don't go." Ah Jin propped his chin, a little helpless. The people in the inner city are too troublesome, and she really doesn't want to think about it more.

"You go there, be careful with what you say and do. When the feast is gone, it is. Song Wenyu saw that Ah Jin was very distressed, and said a few words softly: "Mengfu is not Longtan Tiger's Den, you went there as a guest, and I won't snub you after all." “

He thought that Ah Jin was afraid of his identity as the daughter of a businessman, and he completely thought about it.

"But??" Ah Jin sat up straight, hesitated for a moment but did not say what was in his heart. She didn't know how to explain her chance encounter with Xiao Zhan, so she simply didn't say anything: "Okay, I know." “

"You will go to your mother's room tomorrow to say goodbye, and seeing that the Guining banquet is approaching, we will be guests. There are also a lot of things to cover. After all?? This is a banquet at the Crown Princess's Mansion. “

The brief pause between Song Wenyu's words did not escape Ah Jin's ears. She sighed, lowered her eyes, and looked at the halfway game of chess on the table: "It's not early, you have to go to the morning court tomorrow, go back to sleep early." “

Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, a little confused. The two of them were still talking in a gentle drizzle just now, why did they suddenly give an eviction order.

He sat for a while, and saw that Ah Jin had no intention of speaking again. Only then did he get up helplessly: "What about me??" I'm gone, and you rest early. “

"Hmm." Until he left the room, Ah Jin's eyes did not take his eyes off the game.

"Girl." Ah Jiu came in from outside and saw Ah Jin staring at those chess pieces in a daze: "The eldest young master has upset you again?" “

Ah Jinwan smiled and shook his head: "No." Don't always ask that, in fact, he wants to make me happy. “

Ah Jiu numbled his mouth and did not dare to agree.

"After so many years of affection, how can you say that you can forget it. I'll wait. With that, Ah Jin picked up a white piece and put it on the chessboard. If Song Wenyu was present, he would be surprised to find that Ah Jin actually put this endgame to death and came back to life.

??

Because Meng Yidi would not return to the mansion until the day of the Guining banquet, the affairs of Zhang Luo's banquet were naturally handled by the ladies of the Meng Mansion. There are many female dependents in the Meng Mansion, and there are countless concubines, but only Meng Yihan can stand out and become the right-hand man of the housemother, which is also the result of her years of hard work.

"Girl."

On this day, Meng Yihan was helping the housemother reconcile the accounts in the room, and when he looked up, he saw Hongguo coming in from outside. Slowly, he replied: "How is the post?" “

"It's all out." Hongguo responded while coming to Meng Yihan's side and tidying up the table for her.

"Did you receive a post from King Qing's Mansion?" Meng Yihan lowered his head and continued to look at the account, reading carefully word by word. After Hongguo finished cleaning the desk, he picked up the scissors again to cut out the wick of the candle on the table.

"If you accept it, the Song Mansion will also accept it."

"Okay." Meng Yihan nodded, and then did not speak again, and the room fell silent for a moment, except for the occasional sound of paper turning and the occasional crackling of sparks from the candle flame.

"Girl. The slave couldn't figure it out. Qingwangfu also handed over the post, who was invited? Hongguo walked around the room and saw that there was nothing to clean up, so she returned to Meng Yihan and stopped.

"You should have heard that King Qing carried a lady into the door not long ago. He is very fond of this lady. Meng Yihan said, closed the last account he had read, and rubbed his eyes.

"Since it's Mrs. Ru, let's hand her a post, isn't it some??" Hongguo wanted to speak and stopped, always feeling that this thing was strange. What she could imagine, Meng Yihan couldn't think about. In this way, her girl must have another plan.

"Her status is lowly, but if she really comes, I don't dare to say anything to those daughters of life."

Meng Yihan said it so firmly, it was impossible to be denied.

"The girl has always been thoughtful."

"And I bet that if she is willing to come, King Qing will definitely follow. Even if his name wasn't written on the post. Meng Yihan turned his head and looked at Hongguo mysteriously, his apricot eyes were brightly illuminated by the candlelight: "Only if they come together can they help me." “

Hongguo lowered her head and listened, knowing what she didn't say explicitly, but she could only pretend to be stupid.

"But?? If Young Lady Song doesn't come??"

"No, she'll come." Meng Yihan's face turned cold, staring at the chaotic darkness outside the window, as if he was staring at the abyss under the cliff: "That post is a hot potato in their hands, it doesn't matter if Song Wenyu doesn't come, but someone has to come over and go through the motions." Originally, this Guining banquet was only invited to the ladies of various provinces, if the Song family was so stingy that they didn't even let their eldest daughter-in-law come over, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? “

"That's right."

As soon as Hongguo's words fell, Meng Yihan's voice was extremely cold: "Instead of worrying about these trivial things here, you should help me confirm the matter of the ointment, but don't make a mistake." “

"Yes?? The slave and the maid can be saved. Hongguo bowed down in a cold sweat and hurriedly withdrew from the study.

Outside the door, the night breeze is blowing, which is a very comfortable weather. But it made Hongguo shiver with cold. She shuddered and closed the door carefully, stood under the porch and glanced at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and then hurriedly bowed her head and left Meng Yihan's room.

??

On the day of the Guining banquet, the carriage procession that went to Mengfu to participate in the banquet was a vast soup, and there was a vehicle of the Song family. The Song family sent a total of two carriages this time, the first one sat with three masters, and the subordinates who followed to serve sat in the last carriage, carefully guarding the gifts brought to the Meng Mansion.

"I heard that the prince also came to the Meng Mansion with Niangniang this time, which shows that the prince is still very interested in the eldest girl of the Meng family." Song Yu knew that the two sisters-in-law were not in harmony. So he started talking first.

Ah Jin listened to his mother-in-law's words and subconsciously glanced at Song Li. Seeing that her face was pale and she still looked absent-minded, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?" Doesn't it look like you slept well? “

Song Li was stunned, but he didn't expect Ah Jin to suddenly pull the topic to himself. She raised her eyes blankly and looked back and forth between her mother and Ah Jin, and then lowered her head and said, "It's okay, thank you for your concern." “

Even Song Yu's family saw the clue to her appearance: "But you're not feeling well?" If you are sick, A-Niang will send someone to send you back immediately. “

"It's all right, you don't have to worry." Song Li was annoyed by the question, frowned, and said in a hurried tone. Song Yu couldn't guess his daughter's thoughts, and it was not good to reprimand Song Li in front of his daughter-in-law, so he simply talked to Ah Jinpan again, and really ignored Song Li.

Ah Jin carefully answered Song Yu's question, and at the same time secretly looked at Song Li, and his doubts were deeper. When they got out of the car in the Meng Mansion, Ah Jiu helped her walk for a while. Seeing her solemn face, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the girl?" The Song family embarrassed you just now. “

"No", Ah Jin shook his head, and deliberately stopped to look at Ah Jiu as he walked through the porch, "But I always feel that Song Li's state is not right today." “

Hearing this, Ah Jiu looked at Song Li, who was walking in front, because he could only see his back, and he couldn't see anything. She turned her head to look at Ah Jin, and comforted her softly: "The girl doesn't have to worry about her, she is just an eldest lady raised in a deep boudoir, what waves can she make." “

In this regard, Ah Jin didn't dare to agree, but he couldn't say why the twisted energy in his heart was. She was looking down and pondering, when suddenly she saw a woman in a cloak walking in front of her, who put on the hood of the cloak and covered herself tightly, but the lute she was holding in her hand was very conspicuous.

"It's a good piano." Ah Jin muttered in admiration.

When the woman heard this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Ah Jin, and saluted her: "It seems that Madame is also a person who loves pipa?" “

"Sort of." Ah Jin smiled, and saw the woman standing in front of him with low eyebrows, looking extremely deferential: "I just saw that piano just now, and now when I see the girl's appearance, I suddenly feel that the piano is much inferior to the girl." “

The woman's face turned crimson, and she replied gently, "Madame praised it." “

The two were talking, when suddenly the maid who was waiting beside Mrs. Song came over: "Young lady." The lady and the girl have already taken their seats in the antechamber and are waiting for you. “

"I see." Ah Jin answered, and reluctantly glanced at the pipa in the woman's hand, and then said: "Let me go first, if there is fate, I hope that the next time we meet, the two of us can talk freely." “

The woman obviously didn't expect an official wife to be so enthusiastic about her, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Ah Jin in fear, and it wasn't until Ah Jin followed the maid away that she raised her head and looked at her back thoughtfully.

"Whose lady is that?" The woman asked the maid standing aside with a slightly sideways face.

The maid thought for a moment and replied uncertainly: "This lady looks at her face, I'm afraid that she married from outside the royal capital??" Perhaps, it is the eldest young lady of the Song family. “

The woman was stunned for a moment, and nodded clearly: "It turned out to be her??" No wonder when they look at me, they don't look the same as those official women. “

"Girl??" The maid knew what the woman meant, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"I'm fine, since everyone has arrived one after another, we can't be too sluggish. lest you lose the face of the prince. Let's go. The woman said softly, and followed the maid along the path that Ah Jin had walked.

Ah Jin followed the maid Chunxiao into the living room of the Meng Mansion, and saw Mrs. Song chatting warmly with several women sitting around.

Occasionally, someone went up to talk to her, and she barely managed to cope with a few words. Ah Jin frowned, and the indescribable feeling came out of his heart again.

"Merkin, come here." Song Yu turned around and saw Ah Jin standing at the door in a daze, and beckoned her to come over. King Kong walked up to her. She took her hand and sat down: "Where did you go just now?" “

"I didn't go anywhere, but I met a lady holding a pipa on the road, and I felt that I was like-minded, so I chatted a few words."

When Song Yu heard this, he glanced back at her meaningfully, making Ah Jin feel as if he had done something terrible wrong: "The woman you are talking about is probably not the lady who is being married in the mansion." “

Ah Jin didn't know why, and just as he wanted to ask again, he saw that the woman he had talked to before walked into the reception room with the maid. I don't know if it's her delusion. The moment the woman entered, the whole hall seemed to fall silent. After a while, everyone began to talk in a low voice again.

"This is the person you met under the porch." Song Yu raised his head in the direction where the woman was seated.

"Yes."

"That's it, she's the concubine of King Qingfu Gangna." Song Yu said this, and left Ah Jin to contact the other ladies on his own.

Ah Jin listened to Song Yu's words and sat down thoughtfully. She looked at the woman's eyes were still clear, and the woman was sitting in the middle of the hall as if she were sitting on pins and needles, when she suddenly looked up and saw Ah Jin looking at her calmly. Laughing unconsciously, he saluted her. Ah Jin also smiled, which was regarded as a greeting.

At this moment, the words of discussion about this woman floated over, and Ah Jin listened to it. Ah Jin turned his head slightly to take a look, and found that it was Song Yu who was talking to a lady in gorgeous clothes.

"Mrs. Song, that's the Qingwang Mansion?? Such as Mrs. "For the sake of King Qing's face, the words of that lady are not too mean after all.

"Hmm", Song Yushi replied lightly and did not comment more. Her performance made Ah Jin unconsciously remind Song Wenyu of what he told him.

"Really?? It's hot. Song Yu didn't want to talk about it, but the other party couldn't help but say a few more words: "King Qing has also reached the age of marrying, and now he hasn't discussed marriage, so he brought a geisha raised by an official family into the door, and it was a pity to look at it." “

When Ah Jin heard this, he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of tea. Song Yu looked at the other party helplessly, and kindly said: "Mrs. Yuan, they are all people in King Qing's mansion, so we can't talk about it." “

After getting Song Yu's suggestion, Mrs. Yuan's face turned pale, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief to look around, and saw that no one paid attention to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, yes, look at my mouth, I won't say it again in the future." “

Song Yushi smiled and walked to his position, Ah Jin saw this, and hurriedly stood up and helped Song Yushi sit down.

"That Yuan husband was unobtrusive just now, you should have heard a lot of it." Song Yu's cold words startled Ah Jin.

She subconsciously shook her head, lowered her eyes and whispered, "I didn't hear it." “

Song Yu glanced at her: "It's okay to hear it, it just so happens that you also know the identity of that woman." Be cautious when dealing with them in the future, don't be slack, and don't be too enthusiastic. Anyway, you are also the wife of the son-in-law of the Song Mansion. “

"My daughter-in-law can save it." Ah Jin suddenly realized that Song Yu had come full circle, and it turned out that he was talking to King Qing's concubine just now, which was unreasonable. She replied to Song Yu's words with some tears and laughter, and after getting Song Yu's permission, she sat back on the futon.

Ah Jin's calm and calm performance surprised Song Yu's family, although this mention did not show any traces, in the end, it was still carried out in public. She thought that Ah Jin would have a little temper more or less, but she didn't expect that the other party showed no signs of anger.

After seeing Ah Jin's calmness, Song Yu looked at Song Li again, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes: "You don't keep your soul all day long." What the hell is going on? “

Mother's sudden whispered reprimand made Song Li's body tremble, her eyes looked at Song Yu's suddenly, and her gaze immediately drifted away: "It's okay, it may be a little uncomfortable." “

"You??" Song Yu wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was movement in the hall. Everyone looked up and saw that it was the Meng sisters and Mrs. Meng who had entered the living room together and sat down on the main seat.

Because Meng Yidi is now the crown princess and has a noble status, she was allowed to sit in the middle of the throne, and Mrs. Meng and Meng Yihan sat around Yidi. As soon as the host's family arrives, this feast can be opened.

Because there are no men here, the ladies and daughters who are used to restraint on weekdays should be more indulgent. After three rounds of drinking, the drinking order also began. Ah Jin is not very good at the fun of these literati, and was fined several glasses in a row, and Meng Yihan himself was just as unlucky as her.

"No, no, no, if it goes on like this, Mrs. Song and I will drink and die here." Meng Yihan stood up and said a little tricky: "Otherwise, this is the case." Mrs. Song and I will perform a song for everyone, and if we lose again, we can't be called to drink. Mrs. Song, what do you think? “

Ah Jin didn't expect Meng Yihan to bring her, and he wasn't sure what she meant for a while. She subconsciously glanced at Song Yu's and saw that the other party did not have any displeasure, so she stood up and said, "But it depends on the master's arrangement." “

"Good!" Meng Yihan smiled, and looked at the hugging qin sitting on the side: "I have long heard that Mrs. Ru's pipa is a must, and today I saw Mrs. Ru also brought the instrument." I wonder if you can enjoy your face and co-star with me? “

Baoqin was stunned for a moment, and flattered saluted Meng Yihan and said, "Naturally, I am willing." “

"Good, good." Meng Yihan clapped his hands again and again, looked at his sister again, and was about to make an invitation, but was stopped by Mrs. Meng with her eyes. Meng Yihan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two people in the audience with an embarrassed face: "Then please ask the two ladies to come and discuss with me what kind of music to play." “

"Yes." When Ah Jin and Baoqin heard this, they both left the banquet.

??

There was a lot of laughter in the living room of the Meng Mansion, and it could faintly spread to the backyard. Xiao Duo wanted to support the scene for Baoqin, and he thought that the prince was also bored in the Meng Mansion, so he simply came along.

"Fifth brother." Xiao Shuo saw that Xiao Duo was sullen, and poured him full of wine with some tears and laughter: "Didn't you say that you came to drink with me to relieve your boredom, why do you look more bored than me." “

"If the royal brother is not angry, the younger brother will have the courage to say it." Xiao Duo glanced at the prince, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and poured another glass.

"Today there are only two brothers, no one else, and there are not so many rules. You name it. Xiao Shuo replied, looking at Xiao Duo intently.

"Me??" Xiao Duo hesitated for a while, and the wine in the cup choked his throat, making him feel that his whole mouth was a little numb: "Brother, although I accepted the qin and entered the door, but I??" I still want to find the person who played the moonlit night in the Spring River. “

The prince was stunned for a moment, and a slight coldness appeared in his eyes: "What if you find it." “

"If it is a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, I will ask my father for a holy decree of marriage."

"What if she were a wife?" Xiao Shuo's questions were sharp, making Xiao Duo unable to parry.

"Then I'll do it??" Xiao Duo clenched his hands, and he found that he couldn't say anything if he gave up.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Shuo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and irritable: "Is it not good enough to hold the qin?" If she doesn't like you, I'll look for you. “

"It has nothing to do with her, just because?? She wasn't that person after all. “

"Ridiculous!" Xiao Shuo threw the flask on the table: "You haven't seen that person, you don't know who her surname is, you don't know her appearance and conduct, you rely on that amazing piano playing skills, and you don't care about identifying this person for a lifetime?" Don't you think that's ridiculous? “

Xiao Duo looked at him and didn't answer. The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Xiao Shuo looked away.

This secret hidden in Xiao Duo's heart is untouchable, it is a kind of taboo that breaks through the code of ethics, when Xiao Duo's biological mother Yu Guiren was given poisoned wine, Xiao Shuo has grown into a half-grown teenager, he naturally knows how Yu Guiren is beautiful, and how her pipa sound lingers around the beam for three days.

"At most, I will ask the queen mother to find a good daughter who is good at playing the pipa for you. On the other hand, you don't have to think about it anymore. “

Xiao Shuo said loudly while pouring the wine. Xiao Duo was unwilling, but he also knew that this was not the time to quarrel with the prince. He probably drank too much wine, and he felt a little depressed. So he stood up and said goodbye to Xiao Shuo.

"Brother Huang, I want to go outside."

"Go ahead, but in the front yard, your imperial sister-in-law is feasting on the daughters of the inner city. You are a man, and you must not go that way. “

"Yes, I remember." After Xiao Duo finished speaking, he turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.
