Meng Lianfeng took a light sip of tea and said, "In this case, His Royal Highness has nothing to ask, and the hour is not early, Taifu Song might as well stay, and it is not too late to leave the palace after lunch, and tell the kitchen ......." ”

In such a way of slapping and sending another date, Mrs. Song could naturally see that Meng Lianfeng was uncertain, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he immediately interrupted his resignation, "Your Highness Xie, but there are still some urgent matters in Weichen's family that need to be dealt with, and it is inconvenient for Weichen to stay longer, Your Highness forgives you." ”

Meng Lianfeng had nothing to do, waved back casually, and said: "In this way, His Royal Highness won't keep you, Taifu Song should leave the palace quickly, come here, send Taifu Song." ”

Only then did Mrs. Song stand up, still hunched over, and retreated straight to the door of the outer hall, before standing up straight and changing his posture to leave.

It was still the little eunuch who sent him away, smiling as if nothing had happened.

Mrs. Song was in a gloomy mood at the moment, and she didn't want to say more, so she refused to send him off and walked towards the palace gate alone.

The carriage had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and when he saw that Mrs. Song came out of the house, he hurriedly greeted him, and saw that he had a bad look on his face, and he didn't dare to say much, for fear of affecting himself, so he greeted the old man on the horse and urged the coachman to drive.

Mrs. Song closed his eyes in the carriage, not knowing what he was thinking, and was silent all the way.

When he arrived at the Song Mansion, the family welcomed Mrs. Song into the mansion, and Mrs. Yao had already prepared a table of dishes to please him.

"Sir."

Mrs. Song was in a bad mood, and she didn't bother to deal with her at this time, so she put on the water and a handkerchief, and when Mrs. Song washed her hands and cleaned her mouth, there were only three people at the huge table, and Mrs. Song said in a low voice: "Let's eat." ”

After that, they all moved their chopsticks.

Song Zhiyao obeyed Mrs. Yao's arrangement, pretended to be well-behaved at this meal, added tea and handed handkerchiefs to Mrs. Song from time to time, and she was less afraid of touching Mrs. Song's taboo when she spoke.

Mrs. Song's face was a little better.

Mrs. Yao has been serving by Mrs. Song's side for more than ten years, so she naturally knows how to judge his mood by looking at Mrs. Song's face.

Song Zhiyao understood, put down the chopsticks, glanced at Mrs. Song, who was still eating, and then lowered her eyebrows, pretending to be low: "Daddy use it slowly, Zhiyao is full, go back to the room first." ”

Song Zhiyao ate really little, and when she saw that her eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, she asked casually, "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

"Daddy Xie cares, and Zhiyao is not uncomfortable."

As he spoke, the sadness became even more apparent.

That's what it means to have something.

Mrs. Song put down his chopsticks, took a sip of the tea that Song Zhiyao had just put in his hand, and asked, "Sit down, if you have anything to say directly, don't learn from your mother." ”

Mrs. Yao's face was pale, but when she saw that her goal had been achieved, she didn't say much.

Song Zhiyao sat down along with his words and said: "Today, my mother is buying a dowry for her daughter, and my mother was really shocked when she saw the list handed in by her subordinates...... Some are poor. ”

When it came to the Song Painting Temple, Song Taifu was angry for a while, if it weren't for her, the five princes would not have questioned themselves for their own Xingshi, and they were sarcastic.

He said coldly: "This is nature, the ancestral hall is a concubine, and the example is naturally much higher than you, so you don't need to make a fuss." ”

"But," Song Zhiyao bit her lower lip, looking pitiful to me, and said: "However, the person my daughter wants to marry is the fifth prince, if the dowry that my daughter takes out is so pitiful, not only will my father's face be gloomy, but the five princes will inevitably have to take care of it." ”

Mrs. Yao also added oil and vinegar on the side, "Yes, master, although Zhiyao is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the master, you must not let outsiders laugh at it, you add some examples, not more than the ancestral hall but it is just right, and when the time comes, there will be a good reputation of the master treating everyone equally, why not." ”

Speaking of the two, Song Taifu also has his own plans, how did he not know that Song Zhiyao wanted to add a dowry to himself just to compare with the Song Painting Temple, but the stakes were naturally said by the mother and daughter, and he also agreed a little, and if the dowry was done well, the five princes would be happy, and they would be a little less wary of him.

So Mrs. Song accepted what the two said, and said: "In that case, add some examples according to what you said, you can do it yourself, and you must not make outsiders laugh." ”

"The concubine understands." Mrs. Yao's heart blossomed happily, but her face was still reserved.

Mrs. Song was almost full, so she left slowly, Song Zhiyao followed Mrs. Yao back to the room, she was very unhappy, and said happily: "Mother, since Daddy said that you should do it yourself, wouldn't it be ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he asked Mrs. Yao to knock her head, "You stupid girl, it's okay for the master to say this, the final gift list has to be seen by the master himself, and I can't use this excuse to do whatever I want, but it's not difficult to add a few more things to it." ”

Mrs. Yao secretly speculated that the treasures in the treasury had been collected by Mrs. Song in recent years, and there were many things that could be put into it, and there was a light in her eyes, and she said to Song Zhiyao: "You wait, my mother will definitely ask you to marry in style!" ”

Song Zhiyao left happily, and Mrs. Yao was not idle, taking out the things she had deducted in the past few years to pick and pick up, which could also fill a certain scene.

Speaking of the two ends, Meng Lianfeng took advantage of Meng Zhaoyan's failure to go to the court in the past few days, and was ready to infiltrate some more forces into the DPRK and buy some people's hearts, but the situation in the DPRK and China was separated, and they were balanced against each other, and the rest were some hard bones that were difficult to gnaw, and they got bad news, Meng Lianfeng's mood became depressed again, he swept the chess pieces on the table, got angry at the people kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "Idiot, such a trivial thing can't be done, what use do I want from you?" ”

The man's head hung lower, and he said in a low voice: "Please punish the master, the subordinates are careless, that family was quietly picked up, the other party's martial arts are unpredictable, the subordinates are incompetent, and the subordinates have sent people to check the other party's origins." ”

It turned out that he tied up the family of a blind court official and asked that person to surrender to Meng Lianfeng, which was an inevitable deal, but the person was suddenly left, and the matter was revealed, so he had to come back and ask for punishment.

Meng Lianfeng's forehead was bruised, "Who else, except for my lame third brother, who else in this world will be against me?" ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that Meng Zhaoyan's power is so wide, even you can defeat someone...... It seems that he really can't be underestimated. He changed his words and asked, "Have the people who were arranged in the palace been exposed?" ”

The man shook his head, "No, I'm still waiting for my master's order." ”

"Very good," Meng Lianfeng said, "continue to lurk and wait to act." ”

"My subordinates understand."

How deep and extensive Meng Zhaoyan's forces are, no matter how he investigates, he can't find out thoroughly, and this has been deeply written down by Meng Lianfeng. Meng Zhaoyan couldn't even go up to the court, and he had to secretly meddle in his affairs......

Okay, my third brother, you wait, see how I, Meng Lianfeng, trampled you under your feet!
