42. Go to She County

"Still going to She County? Doesn't it mean that the letter from the Bai family is also fake? The Bai family didn't send anyone to pick up the girl at all, what else are we going to do? ”

Everyone was puzzled.

Meng Qingyun had already figured out the whole thing from beginning to end.

"The Bai family didn't send someone to pick it up, can't I go by myself? It was my grandmother's house, and it was normal for my granddaughter to visit her grandmother. The crux of the matter is not here. ”

"The eldest lady colluded with the Yongkang Marquis Mansion and the Lu Wangfu to trick me into being a concubine. First of all, the Lu Wangfu is a royal family and is powerful; Secondly, the Marquis of Yongkang Mansion is also the home of knights, and it can be regarded as the first nobleman in our Yaxi; Moreover, the eldest lady is in charge of feeding the whole family, except for our second room, the house is up and down inside and outside to listen to her call, especially the old lady who fell ill after a stroke, and even Le Shoutang is her final say. We're just a few girls, helpless, and these three, any one, are not something we can deal with. If I go back to Yaxi, can you guarantee that they won't find another way to get me to King Lu's Mansion again? ”

"If you go back, you will be caught in the net!"

"As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. If I just prevent them from harming me, it would be too passive, and I might as well make a strange move, maybe I can avoid this disaster. ”

She analyzed it so reasonably, not to mention the three maids of Asakusa, Bauhinia, and Xiu'er, even Ma San and Wang Wu, two people who traveled south and north and experienced human feelings, also agreed very much.

Ma San asked, "What kind of trick?" ”

Meng Qingyun said: "The people who want me from the Lu Wangfu, the eldest lady will join the Yongkang Hou Mansion and the Lu Wangfu to do this bureau, and use the Bai family as a cover, outsiders only know that I went to the grandfather's house in She County, where do I know that I have been secretly sent to the Lu Wangfu." Then we might as well make it clear to everyone that mine has indeed gone to She County. The plan of King Lu Mansion and Yongkang Marquis Mansion failed, and they could only hold it by themselves, did they dare to go to the Bai family to ask for someone? The eldest lady has a request from the Lu Palace, so she dares to take me as a favor; The Bai family doesn't owe the Lu Palace, can the Lu Palace's Mansion still be able to coerce the Bai family? ”

Ma San and Wang Wu couldn't help but applaud.

"The girl is calculating, that's exactly what happened."

Meng Qingyun stood up and said with a smile: "All the conspiracies and tricks are most afraid of being exposed to the sun. The more sneaky, the more light and death. ”

The maidservants also understood: "So, let's go to She County, but it's safer than going back to Yaxi." ”

There was a consensus.

Ma San asked, "Then what should Li Shun do with them?" Do you want to hand it over to the government? ”

Meng Qingyun thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "Where is the government to hand it over?" Yaxi County? ”

Ma San frowned: "Yaxi County Ya must not dare to offend the Yongkang Hou Mansion, if it is handed over to them, it is estimated that people will be released soon." ”

Meng Qingyun shook his head lightly: "Although their plan didn't succeed, but let it go so easily, wouldn't it seem that I was very easy to bully." ”

"Or ......" Ma San pulled his hand around this neck.

The three maidservants were startled: "Don't be, if you hurt them, wouldn't you have a grudge against the Marquis of Yongkang?" ”

Meng Qingyun also disagreed: "Not so. ”

Ma San had no choice but to stop, changed the subject, and said, "There is one more thing." Li Shun said that the people of the Lu Wangfu made an appointment with them and met at Sanjiangkou. At that time, Li Shun will lead them onto the ship and put the entire ship under their control. At present, Li Shun has been taken down by us, but the people of Lu Wangfu are still waiting for the rabbit at the mouth of the Sanjiang River. ”

Meng Qingyun nodded: "This is a problem, let's discuss it together, how to deal with it." ”

Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang. There are six people in the master and servant, you have a suggestion, I have a way, and slowly, I have come up with a countermeasure.

The boatman was neutral, he just rented the ship to the Meng family for use, and had nothing to do with these battles and plans, just drove his ship.

When it was almost unitary, the boat arrived at Lanxi, and Meng Qingyun ordered it to dock.

Lanxi Matu is not a big wharf, after all, it is inland. But today, there are many boats parked in the dock, and there is actually a situation where the water is impassable, and it took Meng Qingyun nearly an hour to find a docking position.

Looking out from the cabin, I saw that along the left and right shores of the wharf, different from the previous merchant ships and cargo ships, there were many decorated colorful painting boats, especially a double-decker painting boat in the center, which not only had a gorgeous appearance, but also had many maids shuttling back and forth on the deck.

Looking at other small boats, there are also gorgeously dressed and romantically dressed girls getting on and off the boat from time to time, and there are also the sounds of calling friends one after another between different boats.

On the shore of the wharf, there are also many small stalls and vendors selling things.

The small Lanxidu has a grand and lively sense of festival.

Meng Qingyun stood at the window and looked at it for a moment, and said curiously, "Is it a festival today?" Why is it so lively? ”

Zijing was also curious for a long time, and said, "I'll ask the boatman." ”

With that, he ran out.

After a while, he rushed back to report.

"It turns out that it is the painting boat of the Oiran lady in the capital!"

"Huh?"

Meng Qingyun didn't know who Hua Xiangrong was, so he was very curious.

Bauhinia said: "This flower wants to be a lady, it is said that she looks like a fairy, is good at singing and dancing, and is endless. In the past two years, he has become famous in Bianjing City, attracting the admiration of countless princes and grandsons, and every time someone spends a lot of money, just to beg her to see her. ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Since you are the Oiran of the capital, why did you come here?" ”

Bauhinia: "The boat family said that this lady is good at traveling in the mountains and rivers, and last year she swam through Mount Tai, which attracted the admiration of thousands of people, and even the incense of those temples on Mount Tai was a lot stronger. This year, we came to Jiangnan. However, it is said that she is about to return to Bianjing, because today happens to be her birthday, and there are rich sons who celebrate her birthday, and invite celebrities and gentlemen from Lanxi City to the banquet. ”

Meng Qingyun suddenly said: "No wonder." ”

At this time, the sun is setting, and the clouds are reflected on the river, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red.

The night gradually came up, and these painting boats on the river were lit up with lanterns one after another, and even the trees on the shore were hung with various lanterns, dyeing the early summer night romantic and gorgeous.

On the painting boat of Hua Xiangrong, the sound of singing and dancing gradually appeared, and the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra floated on the water surface, and was sent to the distance by the evening breeze.

Suddenly there was an exclamation, as if someone was drunk and fell into the water, causing a small storm.

Meng Qingyun and the others heard it on this boat.

Asakusa, Bauhinia, and Xiu'er were packing their luggage, and couldn't help but discuss: "It's just night, and the banquet must have not officially started, but someone is drunk?" ”

Meng Qingyun seemed to be reminded, a bright light flashed in her mind, and the corners of her mouth gradually rose, revealing a wicked smile.

"Go and invite Third Brother Ma and Fifth Brother Wang to come over, I have a wonderful way to deal with Li Shun and others!"
