"What did you say?!"

Meng Jin stared straight at her daughter.

Meng Qingyun originally said it casually, but he didn't think about it, but seeing him so solemn at this time, he couldn't help but think for a while, and then said: "Among the ancient and modern emperors, there are many people who are disabled, Emperor Jin Hui is demented, Emperor Liang Yuan is one-eyed, and Tang Shunzong is dumb, aren't they all emperors." ”

When it comes to history, Meng Jin will only know better than her, saying: "Of these three emperors, the first two did not die well, and the latter reigned for less than two years. ”

Meng Qingyun only knew about these special emperors by relying on the good history of his grandfather in his previous life, and his ancestors and grandchildren chatted about it, but he didn't know much about the detailed historical facts, and said: "I don't know about this." Is it because of their mutilation that they do not die well? ”

Not really.

Meng Jin just held the decanting soup, motionless like a statue, but all kinds of crazy thoughts flashed in his mind; Although his cheeks were still red, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

As soon as the valley rain passed, the triennial Jingcha examination began.

The civil officials had their own officials to inspect them, and the military attachés were inspected by the temporarily formed Third Class Academy, and Meng Jin was elected as the deputy chief of the Third Class Academy.

As soon as the news was announced, some people came to knock on the corner door of Meng's house in the middle of the night, all to intercede with Mengjin. The Meng family was not mentally prepared, and almost thought that they were thieves.

After three days like this, Meng Jin was so annoyed that he simply moved to the temporary office yamen of the third class courtyard to live, and instructed Meng Qingyun to close the door tightly and ignore the idle people.

Within two days, the Meng family was quiet.

Then Meng Qingyun received a post.

The eighth day of the first month of April is the Buddha Bathing Festival, Shouyang Gong mainly participates in the Buddha Bathing Buddha Festival of Daxiangguo Temple, and invites the famous ladies of Bianjing City to walk together.

Meng Qingyun pinched the post: "I only have a one-sided relationship with the princess, how could she give me a post?" ”

Zijing didn't understand anything, but said: "The princess of the heavenly family is so noble, she can value Yuan Niang, it's always a happy thing." ”

Meng Qingyun: "This princess is moody and has a good temperament, but she is not easy to serve. ”

That being said, but you still have to go, and if you refuse, you will really offend the other party directly.

So, on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Meng Qingyun got up early in the morning to dress up, took a carriage, and in addition to Asakusa and Bauhinia, he also brought Zhang Ada's entourage.

It is very convenient for the Meng family to go to the Great Xiangguo Temple, cross the Longjin Bridge and go straight along the royal street, and it will be there in two quarters of an hour.

The Buddha bathing festival in Daxiangguo Temple is one of the annual events with many spectators.

When Meng Qingyun arrived, the temple was already bustling, full of people and believers who came to participate in the Buddha bathing meeting, incense was swirling, and Sanskrit sounds were bursting.

A monk came out to lead her and took her to a Zen monastery dedicated to Princess Shouyang.

There have been six or seven ladies in the Zen courtyard, but Princess Shouyang is missing.

Someone told Meng Qingyun: "The princess is accompanying Concubine Min Shu to offer incense, come over later." ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Concubine Min Shufei is also here?" ”

"Concubine Min Shufei had a miscarriage and lost a prince, which was very sad. Since last year, it is said that he has had nightmares for several days, dreaming that the prince is suffering in the Abi Hell, so he asked the official family and set up a tablet for the prince in Daxiangguo Temple. Since then, every New Year's holiday, Concubine Min Shu has to come to the Great Xiangguo Temple to offer incense and pray. ”

Meng Qingyun thought to herself, I only saw Concubine Min Shu come on the day of the Qingming Festival, and she came again today, this Concubine Min Shu seemed to be very concerned about the unborn prince, and the incense was so frequent.

As she was talking, Princess Shouyang came in, followed by He Luo, a girl from the Duke of Wu's mansion.

Princess Shouyang was still the cold and misanthropic appearance of the unapproachable, and when she saw Meng Qingyun, she nodded.

It was He Luo, who was unusually enthusiastic, grabbed Meng Qingyun's hand, and smiled sweetly: "Sister Meng is also here!" ”

Meng Qingyun suddenly had goosebumps.

Princess Shouyang glanced over: "Didn't you suggest that I give her a post, how can it be very unexpected." ”

He Luo's smile froze on his face.

Meng Qingyun hurriedly pulled out his arm and gave her a look that seemed to be smiling.

At this time, the last few ladies also arrived, and among them was Sun Man'er, whom Jin Mingchi had seen that day.

Sun Man'er was also very surprised to see Meng Qingyun, and she didn't even want to say hello to her, but only chatted with other girls.

Meng Qingyun had no intention of associating with her, among the girls present, some of them had gone to Meng's house to live in Wen that day, and they didn't worry about no one talking.

The weather was good, and everyone was sitting in the yard, talking in twos and threes.

Although the post was given by Princess Shouyang, she had no interest in greeting guests, and only cared about sitting and drinking tea and manipulating her nails.

Then he said to Meng Qingyun very suddenly: "I heard that the official family and the noble concubine have taken a fancy to you and want to marry you and the King of Qi?" ”

Meng Qingyun was taken aback.

Everyone else stopped talking and looked over this way.

Meng Qingyun said: "Where did the princess hear the rumors?" ”

Princess Shouyang said lazily: "Many people in the palace said so, and the concubine also asked someone to inquire about your family background, and I heard that your family is very rich." ”

He Luo jumped out and said, "Sister Meng's maternal grandfather's family is the Bai family, a wealthy merchant in She County, and it is said that it is known as the richest man in Jiangnan. ”

Someone muttered: "It's a girl from the Shangjia family." ”

The person next to her said: "Her mother is the daughter of a businessman, and her father is still a generational eunuch." ”

"The mother is a businessman, and that is also inferior."

Meng Qingyun listened to these words in his ears and said to He Luo: "I have just arrived, and I have only met everyone once or twice. Why is Miss He so clear about my family background? Have you asked about it? ”

He Luo said stiffly: "Your father's new favorite is a figure on the cusp, and some people talk about it. I don't need to inquire, I can hear about your family at will. ”

Meng Qingyun smiled: "Yes." She grabbed a girl next to her and said, "Have you heard about my family?" ”

The girl quickly shook her head.

Meng Qingyun looked at the others again, and the others either avoided their eyes or looked at him left and right.

Everyone can see that He Luo and Meng Qingyun don't deal with each other, they have been showing signs of beyond, they are both smart girls, but they don't want to wade into troubled waters inexplicably.

Meng Qingyun said to He Luo: "It seems that only Miss He can casually hear about my family's affairs. ”

Humiliating in public with one's birth is a common trick for girls to belittle their opponents, and although it is rotten, it has always been effective.

It's just that this Meng Qingyun always doesn't play cards according to common sense, but it seems that she is deliberately setting up a situation to step on people and behave badly.

He Luo was very irritable about this, and simply said directly: "Your mother is the daughter of a merchant, a Shinong businessman, and a merchant is the last one, with your background, how can you be worthy of His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

Meng Qingyun teased: "It turned out to be for His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

He Luo's heart was poked, and he immediately took precautions: "Isn't what I said wrong?" ”

Meng Qingyun laughed: "Let's not say whether it's right or not, everyone here must know how much my mother passed away last year, and the three-year filial piety period has not expired, how can we talk about marriage?" Miss He, you don't have to worry about the sky, you don't have to. ”

Without waiting for He Luo to reply, she said to Princess Shouyang again: "The princess invited me here today, did she ask me to come and be humiliated?" ”
