Zhang Jinyan's case finally came to an end in the noise of executing more than 20 people and exiling more than 80 people. Shangguan Qingyun committed suicide due to his fear of crime and died tragically in prison, coupled with Emperor Kangxi's accession to the throne and amnesty to the world, Xie and Meng worked hard to ensure that the court was safe.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, everything is as before, the Spring Festival has just passed in March, a spring rain, sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. People who are blown by the refreshing wind after a light rain are always comfortable, and even if they are a little cool, they always make people feel happy.

Everything seems so beautiful, all of them are walking forward in disorder, looking, looking forward to it, like the wind, I don't know where it goes, why I don't know why, and like ants, lying on the ground and busy, running, and like pedestrians on the street, running, jumping, crying, making trouble, just like that!

The Shangguan family is no longer the original Shangguan family, although it is not moss-stained and green, and the grass is green, but it is always a little bit of a door. The first is that Shangguan Qingyun is no longer alive, and naturally there are fewer literati and ink writers, and there are fewer people who cling, and the second is that there is now an empty house and no court, so naturally there is less wealth and glory.

But the people who came the most were the people from the Meng Mansion and the Xie Mansion, either the lord, or the wife, or the son, or the daughter.

Mrs. Shangguan naturally got a glimpse of the mystery, Shangguan Qingyun's last letter made it clear that the marriage between the two families was achieved, and Lan'er handed it over to Xie Fu, but the details were not stated, just know that nothing had happened.

Mrs. was born intelligent, endowed with extraordinary talents, naturally exquisite, and calm, while interacting with Meng Fu, while dealing with Xie Fu, and at the same time urging Shangguan Hong'er to study and practice martial arts, and accompanying Shangguan Lan'er to read poetry and write poetry. The days are also light and peaceful, but for no reason, I will think of my husband Shangguan Qingyun and cry alone.

In the fourth year of Kangxi, on this day, someone from Meng's mansion had already come to report, Meng Yiren and his wife came to ask them to bring some things and various gifts to help settle it. Naturally, the whole house was also busy, killing pigs and sheep, and preparing for the night banquet, which was so lively.

Madame saw that today's gift list was quite valuable, so she naturally knew it in her heart and did not refuse.

As soon as the time arrived, the three sedan chairs of the Meng Mansion stopped in front of the Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Hong and Lan'er were already waiting to greet them, and when the sedan chair stopped, they immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Nephew (niece) greets uncle and aunt, uncle and aunt Wan'an!" ”

But seeing that Meng Yiren's demeanor was still the same, with a spring breeze on his face, he stepped forward and helped Hong'er and Lan'er with both hands respectively: "Hahahaha, it's good, it's all good, it's all good, it's all good, get up, get up." ”

Mrs. Meng said to Lan'er, come on, child, and see who I bring to play with you.

It turned out to be Meng Yang, who was riding in a sedan chair with Mrs. Meng, the two met, and they were world friends, and they were of the same age, so they were happy.

There is also a person standing behind, twenty-eight years old, dressed in peach blossom clothes, one more point is too fat, and one point is too thin; What is beautiful is that the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the eyes are like springs, the muscles are like clotted fat, the teeth are like beads, a little cherry mouth and jaw are eliminated, and the movement is graceful and tender, how can a Zhaojun come out of the painting.

Meng Qing'er stepped forward, her cheeks flushed, and saluted, "I've seen Brother Hong'er." ”

Everyone walked through the courtyard and into the central hall, where Mrs. Shangguan had already prepared refreshments and waited.

A burst of greetings, so unintimate.

When the lantern arrived, everyone sat down one after another, the man sat on the left from Meng Yiren, and the female dependent sat on the right because of the widowhood of Mrs. Shangguan. (Due to the different dynasties, the Tang and Song dynasties respected the left, the Yuan respected the right, the Ming and Qing dynasties respected the left, the east was left, and the west was right.) ）

Because of these two little dolls, they were lively when they talked, and Qing'er gradually chatted with them while eating and chatting with them, and the three of them were also very comfortable, occasionally glancing at Hong'er.

The two ladies here are rare to get close, and they are both clear people, and they use the affairs of the house as a talking point, what health soup, what Jinxiuzhuang silk is easy to use, what children are tired of school, and so on, and so on.

Young Master Shangguan will naturally be more restrained, after all, he is the future father-in-law, and Master Meng is dignified, not angry and self-assured, since he was a child, he has changed from the heart to be afraid and respectful, and naturally has become a question and an answer, not daring to be presumptuous, it is not his nature, the rules are naturally necessary, there is nothing wrong after all.

For more than half an hour, Qing'er didn't eat much, and the children naturally ate faster, so they had already dragged Qing'er's sister to the yard to see the willow tops on that month, and the two children were playing happily, and Qing'er seemed to have a mind to accompany the frolic.

After the banquet, the refreshments should be presented, and everyone sat down.

Mrs. Meng smiled and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, I'm really happy to see you today, I haven't been so relaxed for some days, in the future, I will definitely bother my sister-in-law more, don't bother my sister when the time comes!" ”

Mrs. Shangguan naturally replied: "My sister is here, I am looking forward to it, and it is inconvenient for me to go to see my sister alone, so I must come often!" ”

Mrs. Meng said busily: "It's decided that my sister-in-law, as well as Hong'er, will go to see us more when I am not busy with homework, just like my own home." As he spoke, he turned to Shangguan Hong.

Meng Yiren said: "By the way, brother and sister-in-law, speaking of Hong'er, I think about it, I almost forgot that there is an important matter to discuss with my brother and sister-in-law today, do you think Qing'er can get your heart?!" ”

Mrs. Shangguan is so smart, the two of them are worthy of being husband and wife, so they naturally understand, and said: "Uncle, sister, I should be blamed for this matter, I was worried about Hong'er's future a few days ago, but I can't be thoughtful with him, maybe I think too much, I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed, I don't know what my uncle and sister think!?" ”

Mrs. Shangguan is worthy of reading poetry and books, Lan Xinhui is temperamental, not only took the conversation over to propose marriage by herself, but also protected the face of the Meng family and the couple, and also said the reason for her worries, that is, she was afraid that the Meng family would feel that the Shangguan Mansion was no longer in the court, and the Meng Mansion was not in the right place, so she never mentioned the marriage contract.

Meng Yiren seemed to have stretched his facial features a lot, and said with a smile: "My brother and sister-in-law, I am a brother and sister to Shangguan, Hong'er is something I watched grow up, and the two have already had a marriage contract, if I ruin this matter, how can I be worthy of Brother Shangguan's spirit in the sky, and I will blame myself in my heart, brother and sister-in-law, you are too worried."

Mrs. Meng also said: "I like Hong'er's child, I really like it, sister-in-law!" You can set a good day! ”

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and said, "Uncle, since Hong'er is blessed, I naturally can't ask for it!" Choose a good day and an auspicious day, and it is good to become this marriage! ”

After saying that, everyone laughed, and Hong'er, who was stunned, blushed and lowered her head.
