Green Smoke will only make a fuss about the official position of the big official when she has amnesia: "Our Meng family has been an official eunuch for generations, and there are several ancestors who have been prime ministers, and there is nothing unusual about a waiter in the Ministry of Rites." ”

Meng Qingyun nodded and said, "Yes." You go on to say. ”

Lu Yan then went on to introduce the situation of the people in the long room: "The eldest lady is from the Weishan Lu family, which is your aunt, who is sitting outside; There is also Da Lang Mengzhi below, who is your cousin, married to the daughter of the Wang family of Zhangxiang, the big name Wang Ziwei, and the family calls her Wei Niang; There is also a cousin Huiyun, who is one year younger than Yuan Niang, and her family calls her Huiniang. A few days ago, you were unconscious, and it was Da Lang and Hui Niang who knelt down for you to welcome you. ”

"Let's talk about our second room, the second official was born in Jinshi, and now he is the governor of Laizhou on Jingdong East Road; The second lady is from the Bai family in She County, Huizhou, and only one of you has a Yuan Niang under her knees. The second lady is weak and sickly, and afraid of damp heat pollen, has many years of asthma, this spring in the city more epidemics, the second lady is weak, infected with the epidemic, lingering for more than a month, in the end did not carry it, three days ago. ”

Green Smoke is articulate, has a clear brain, and has a brisk and organized voice, and sighed when he said that the second lady passed away, and then said: "A few days ago, the family saw that the second lady was not very good, and he had already begun to prepare for the future, and the second official also sent someone to deliver the letter, but Laizhou was far away, and I heard that there was a rogue over there, and I didn't know if it was good to walk on the road, when would the second official come back." ”

While speaking, Meng Qingyun had already finished changing his clothes, stood up and walked out.

It happened that Luo's mother came back and reported to Lu's: "The old lady already knows, but she has been sad and tired for several days, and she has a headache and a sore body when she gets up this morning, and she is afraid that she is tired and sick, and she is calling a doctor." Song'er passed on the words for the old lady, saying that Yuan Niang did not die, it was a great luck, since there was a brain disease, I had to ask the eldest lady to bother, so that she could find a famous doctor, not afraid of spending money, as long as the medical skills were good, it was the first priority to cure Yuan Niang's illness. ”

Lu Shi listened carefully and nodded calmly: "This is natural. Since the old lady is sick, I have to go and see it. ”

Meng Qingyun blinked and said, "Grandmother is sick, I, as a granddaughter, should also visit, I'll go with my aunt." ”

Lu Shi had already stood up, but when he heard this, he paused, and glanced at Luo's mother out of the corner of his eye.

Mother Luo and her master and servant for many years immediately understood, and said: "Just now I met Mrs. Zhou in the big kitchen on the road, and said that I wanted to come to the eldest lady to ask for something, I said that the eldest lady is here in Yuan Niang, and she arranged some important things to come over." The eldest lady may wish to sit down a little longer, so as not to miss it. ”

Lu Shi followed her words and said to Meng Qingyun: "In this case, Yuan Niang will go by herself first, and I will come later." ”

Meng Qingyun's eyes quickly slipped back and forth on her and Luo's mother's faces, smiled, and said, "Okay." ”

took Cui's mother and a few maidservants and went out.

Luo's mother quietly took a few steps forward, leaned behind Green Smoke, and secretly pulled her sleeve while no one was paying attention. Green Smoke stagnated and fell behind everyone.

Meng Qingyun was unconscious, and took Cui's mother, Asakusa, Bauhinia, and Xiu'er out of Huanhuatang.

Shen Yong Tang is the name of the main house, in fact, the whole mansion is divided into three roads, the middle road is Shen Yong Tang as the core, Shen Yong Tang is generally used to discuss major matters, not for daily life; The first entry behind Shenyong Hall is the residence of the head of the family, and then the first entry into Le Shou Tang, which is now the residence of the old lady; Changfang Zhudong Road; The second room lives on West Road; Meng Qingyun's Huanhuatang is three entrances after the West Road.

From the west road to the middle road, the inner house usually passes through the west garden, the garden covers a small area, there is also a small pond, several rockeries, three pavilions. About the people are concentrated in the mourning hall, the large kitchen, the living room and other important places, the west garden is very deserted.

Meng Qingyun had amnesia, so naturally he didn't even recognize the road, it was Xiu'er who led the way, and Cui's mother followed Asakusa and Bauhinia on both sides.

As soon as he walked to the edge of the small pond, Meng Qingyun stood up and said, "I'm tired, rest for a while." While speaking, he randomly picked a flat one of the several Taihu Lake stones on the edge of the pond and sat down.

"Yuan Niang, slow down!" Asakusa stopped her, and quickly put a handkerchief on the stone before she sat down.

In fact, it is only a short way from Huanhuatang. Cui's mother said distressedly: "Yuan Niang has just recovered from a serious illness, and she can't even hold on to these few steps. ”

Xiu'er is young and has nothing to do, so she will only obediently stand aside and listen to orders. It's Asakusa and Bauhinia, as personal maids, who are much more smart and calm in the end. Asakusa asked softly, "Is Yuan Niang really tired?" ”

Meng Qingyun smiled slightly: "I'm not very tired, just waiting for the green smoke." ”

Cui's mother looked left and right at this time, and sighed: "Why didn't Green Smoke follow?" ”

Meng Qingyun was a little helpless about this crying but not very careful Mother Cui, and said: "When I went out, she was pulled by Mother Luo. ”

Asakusa and Bauhinia were a little surprised, and said, "So Yuan Niang saw it?" They originally thought that Meng Qingyun hadn't noticed this detail.

Meng Qingyun said: "Do you know why Mother Luo stopped her? ”

Asakusa just shook her head slightly, Zijing was more straightforward, and pouted: "Mother Luo has always been ghostly, and it's not the first time that she has been so mysterious and mysterious with Green Smoke, who knows what kind of fame they have." ”

Meng Qingyun looked at a few of them and suddenly asked, "How many of you, have you been serving me all along?" ”

Asakusa said: "Xiu'er and I have been serving Yuan Niang since we entered the house, and Cui's mother is a nurse, and I have watched you grow up since I was a child; Green Smoke and Bauhinia were originally by the side of the second lady, and the second lady confessed before her death, and asked them to follow Yuan Niang after she passed away. ”

Meng Qingyun nodded, then no wonder Asakusa didn't know about Green Smoke, but Zijing said that it was not the first time that Mother Luo and Green Smoke were so mysterious, they were originally together, so they naturally knew more.

After just a few words, I heard the sound of brisk footsteps from the side of the moon cave gate that I had just passed, and the green smoke caught up.

"Yuan Niang!"

Green Smoke walked closer and saw Meng Qingyun sitting on the Taihu Lake Stone, and said busily: "The stone is cold, why are you sitting here?" ”

Meng Qingyun didn't care about this, and asked directly, "What did Mother Luo stop you for?" ”

The green smoke froze slightly, and he subconsciously looked left and right.

Meng Qingyun said to Bauhinia and Xiu'er: "You two, go to the intersection on both sides and watch." ”

Bauhinia and Xiu'er walked away one after the other, separated by more than a dozen steps, guarding the intersection at both ends, and anyone who came from either side could warn in time.

Meng Qingyun said: "There are only a few of us here, since my mother has passed away, you are naturally my confidants, what is the matter, can't you still say it?" ”

Lu Yan said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the public middle school is short of money again, and the eldest lady asked me to pay two hundred taels of silver." ”

Meng Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where do you branch it from?" ”

Green Smoke said: "Naturally, it is from our hands." ”

Meng Qingyun reacted slightly, and raised his voice slightly: "You mean, the public middle school is short of money, and the eldest lady wants you to pay the silver from the private money in our second room to supply the public middle school?" What is this, borrowing or moving? ”

Green Smoke bit her lip: "I used to say that I borrowed it, but I never paid it back." ”

Meng Qingyun was really surprised this time, his eyes widened, he was still for a moment, and sighed: "Wow! You'll have to tell me about this. ”

She casually swept around and said, "Although I have amnesia, I wake up for half a day, looking at the food and clothing at home, I am worthy of the words luxury and exquisiteness; Looking at the houses and courtyards on the road that came to this point, carved beams and painted buildings, and dougong paintings, there is no 180 years of heritage, and it is impossible to have such a beautiful and heavy atmosphere. With such a prestigious family, how can the public middle school be short of money? Besides, according to what you mean, it's not the first time that the eldest lady has used our money to subsidize the public middle school, what kind of reason is this? ”
