Chapter 292: Kaizhou to be married (5)
Ye Mengmeng shrugged and said, "Where do I understand?" It's not like I'm listening to Joss in the capital. By the way, isn't Qiao Siyan's martial arts also very high? Last time I almost fell into the pool, he was the one who saved me. ”
Mingzhu stared at Miss, and her gaze fell on Miss's neck.
Ye Mengmeng followed her gaze and looked down, but it turned out to be the jade lock taken out of the space.
"Miss, where did this lock come from? The slave remembered that the young lady didn't wear it when she went out of Beijing? Mingzhu asked casually.
"Oh, that's what you say?" Ye Mengmeng smiled, "This was given to me by my wife when I went out." ”
"Madame?" Mingzhu frowned slightly. The jade lock looked very old and dull, as if it had been dusty in the corner for decades. Madame, would you give such an inconspicuous ornament to Miss?
"Really? Why haven't I seen Miss wear it all the time? ”
Ye Mengmeng sighed and said: "Actually, you have also seen it, this jade lock looks inconspicuous, I didn't like it very much at the time, but the gifts given by Mrs. are always difficult to refuse, so I have to accept them." I still remember what my wife said, she said, although this jade lock is inconspicuous, but it is a talisman, it can protect you from evil in the future. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. You know everything about the ship later, right? Ye Rong and I were poisoned at the same time, she died and I lived, although you also have credit for this, but I always feel that this jade lock is protecting me in the dark. So, I figured it out, and Six turned it out and put it on. ”
Mingzhu stared at Miss, nodded and said, "Miss is right, since it is a talisman, let's wear it all the time."
Ye Mengmeng said "um", glanced at her, and pretended to be unintentional: "Mingzhu, there is another thing that I think is very strange, I want to ask you."
"What's the matter? Miss, please speak! ”
Ye Mengmeng coughed and said, "...... In the greeting procession at the inn today, there was a person I seemed to have seen before. ”
"Who?" Mingzhu frowned.
“…… Is that the tall, burly man? What's it called? I hear you call him Chen Wu? ”
Mingzhu stared at Miss. "Miss, have you seen him?"
"Yes, I felt familiar just now, and I only remember it now."
Mingzhu smiled slightly: "He is the son of the world, it is normal for the young lady to see him, this is not strange."
"Is he the son of the prince? That's weird. ”
"What's wrong, Miss?"
Ye Mengmeng frowned and said: "On the day of Grandpa Guo's birthday banquet, I saw him following another man, calling that man the master, but that man is obviously not the prince."
Mingzhu chuckled in her heart and raised her eyes to stare at Miss.
"Miss...... Do you know who that person is? ”
Ye Mengmeng held her chin and thought for a while, and said, "I don't know, but that person looks quite magnificent, I guess it should be a big person." Because later I saw the prince come up and talk to him, and they looked quite familiar. Could it be that he is a friend of the Son? ”
Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Could it be the guest who came to the birthday banquet that day?"
"It's possible," Ye Mengmeng nodded and stretched her waist, and said with a smile, "I was startled when I saw Chen Wuke just now, and I thought I was going to marry someone else." She glanced at Mingzhu inadvertently, and smiled with a crooked eyebrow, "It's strange to say, how can I have a feeling that you are not from the Guogong Mansion, but like your master has someone else." ”
Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "Miss, don't think nonsense, the slave maid will go downstairs and let Chunxi bring water up, Miss wash up and rest early."
"Hmm!" Ye Mengmeng nodded obediently and watched Mingzhu walk out of the room and disappear from her sight. She lowered her head, rubbing the jade lock on her chest, and a vague smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
As soon as she walked out of the room, her face sank, and she stood at the doorway, staring at the wooden door and pondering for a while.
Footsteps sounded, and I saw Chunxi and Ruyi walking up.
Mingzhu hurriedly walked over and said, "Chunxi, you go and fetch water to wash Miss, Miss wants to rest."
"So early?" Haruki is a little weird. Miss has been sleeping late for a while, when has she ever slept so early?
Mingzhu said lightly: "It's good to rest early, I will enter Beijing the day after tomorrow, and I can only go on the road when I have enough spirits."
"Okay!" Chunxi nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
Mingzhu stared at his back. Ruyi sensed that her expression was wrong, and asked, "Sister Mingzhu, what's wrong?"
Mingzhu put her finger to her lips, glanced at the door, and gave Ruyi another look.
As expected, the two dodged to the staircase. Mingzhu lowered her voice and said, "Tell the brothers, cheer up and pay attention, and be careful that the situation changes."
Ruyi nodded and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Mingzhu stared at her and said word by word, "Miss is suspicious of us."
"Really?" Ruyi was surprised, "How is she...... Suspicious? ”
"I don't know." Mingzhu said, "Ruyi, Miss actually knows you and me, as well as Chen Wu!" Do you think it's weird? ”
Ruyi's eyes widened for a moment. "Really...... Is this really the case? ”
"Yes, so everyone should be careful these days, and there must be no mistakes before sending the young lady to the palace. Do you understand? ”
"Yes!"
On the second day, the rain that had been pouring down for two days stopped, and the sky cleared and was blue.
After Ye Mengmeng got up to wash, she got up and came to the corridor to look down, and was surprised to find that the iron boxes in the hall were all gone.
Chunxi said: "Early in the morning, the iron box was sent to the house, and the young lady was still dreaming at that time."
"Oh yes, I forgot." Ye Mengmeng then remembered that today was the day to go to the Assassin's Mansion for the dowry, no wonder the hall was quiet.
"That's right, Chunxi," Ye Mengmeng suddenly remembered something, "Where did Mingzhu Ruyi go?" ”
"They ......"
As soon as Chunxi spoke, someone at the top of the stairs said, "What is the matter with the young lady looking for a slave?"
Ye Mengmeng turned her head and saw that it was Mingzhu who went to Ruyi. She laughed, "What can I do?" I thought the two of you were going to the Assassin's Mansion together. ”
Mingzhu said: "The slaves and maids didn't go, if the slaves and maids went, who would protect the young lady?"
Ye Mengmeng smiled: "I don't need someone to protect me, I have a talisman."
Mingzhu smiled faintly, pointed to several capable grandmothers behind him and said: "Miss, these are grandmothers from the capital, this is Grandma Li, Grandma Chen, Grandma Wang, and Grandma Deng, they are specially here to welcome Miss into the capital."
Several grandmothers stepped forward and bowed, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"The slave has seen Miss!"
Ye Mengmeng nodded, raising her eyes and looking at a few grandmothers. Seeing that they were all sturdy, their eyes did not squint, and their expressions were serious, they couldn't help sneering in their hearts, and said secretly, hey, you want to stop me with these few people?
