Chapter 1168: The County Lord and the Princess
Meng Shuyu was anxious at that time: "The private room chartered by our family, why does anyone say that you can occupy it?" Who is it? ”
The young man said: "Back to Master Meng, he is the lord of Guangping. ”
"Oh, it's Autumn Goose." Meng Shuyu's anger subsided, and he asked the guy again, "Who did she come with?" ”
The guy said embarrassedly: "Master Meng, forgive me, we have rules in Wangfeng Tower, we can't say this." ”
Meng Shuyu was helpless, "You can give the private room that our family has contracted all year round to others, and the rules of your Wangfeng Tower are really big." Don't say yes! Okay, the master asked himself. After speaking, he took a few steps back, tilted his head, and shouted at the top: "Autumn geese!" ”
This voice startled the young man, but there was no way, people stood on the street and shouted, he couldn't care about it!
Soon, the window of the private room on the third floor was pushed open, and Qian Yan, the director of Guangping County, showed his head and beckoned to him, "Cousin, come up quickly." At a glance, Meng Wencheng was also there, so he quickly shouted, "Uncle." ”
Meng Wencheng nodded, and walked inside with Meng Shuyu and Bai Heran.
The guest spoke, and the young man couldn't stop him anymore, so he had to lead the way in front of him until he reached the door of the private room. There was a maid standing at the door, and when she saw them coming, she quickly bowed and saluted. Meng Shuyu recognized this girl as Ren Qiuyan's close attendant, so he waved his hand, turned around and instructed the guy: "Serve new tea, add a few more dishes." The young man agreed.
The door of the private room was opened from the inside, and it was surprising that there was only one person sitting inside, and two dishes were arranged, and the chopsticks had not yet been moved! Meng Shuyu was stunned, "Cousin, are you coming to eat alone?" ”
Ren Qiuyan is Meng Shuyu's cousin, seventeen this year, and is the granddaughter of the noble concubine in the palace. Her mother is Princess Luo An Chun Yuhuan, the biological daughter of the concubine and the old monarch, and the half-sister of Chun Yulan.
The previous generation of the Gebu royal family only crowned Chun Yuhuan such a princess, because Gebu Youzhi, the princess can only be named the county lord when she is not married, and she will not be promoted to the princess until the day of marriage, in order to show her dignity.
But even if Chun Yulan was married, she was not named a princess, even if she married Dongqin, she also belonged to the family, but she still only had the status of the county lord. The outside world thought that the old monarch didn't like Chun Yulan's daughter, but in fact, Chun Yulan was the prince's own sister, how could the old monarch not like it. The reason why he didn't have Jin Feng was because he saw Chun Yuao's jealousy and hatred for the prince, so even if his beloved daughter got married, he didn't dare to seal it, because it angered Chun Yuao and caused him to do irrational things.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, the old monarch knows too well the distorted psychology of this son, so he tried his best to guard against that son, but in the end he still couldn't prevent Chun Yu from killing his father and forcing the palace.
Of course, Bai Heran didn't know about these things, she just guessed some of the woman's identities based on Meng Shuyu's name for this woman and the voice of the county lord of Guangping. I thought in my heart that in fact, she and this woman were also cousins.
Just thinking about it, Meng Shuyu didn't wait for Ren Qiuyan to answer, so she took Bai Heran and took the initiative to introduce her: "Sister, this is my cousin, Qiu Yan, the director of Guangping County, is the daughter of my aunt, Princess Luo'an." ”
Meng Wencheng felt that Bai Heran might not understand, so he explained more: "The concubine in the palace is your mother's aunt, and Princess Luo An is the biological daughter of the concubine, so you should also call Qiu Yan a cousin." ”
The white crane bowed down and shouted, "Cousin." ”
This cousin stunned Ren Qiuyan, and while helping Bai Heran to get up first, he asked Meng Wencheng: "Uncle, what are you talking about?" I don't understand, who is this girl? Who is her mother in your mouth? ”
Meng Wencheng sighed, "Alas......" is only this one, and then he couldn't say any more, sat down by himself, and poured a new tea for him, he picked it up and poured it into his mouth at once, coughing a few times.
Meng Shuyu hurriedly came over to give him a smooth back, and at the same time told Ren Qiuyan about Mrs. Meng's recognition of Bai Heran as her daughter yesterday, and Ren Qiuyan sighed for a while, and finally wiped her tears.
"I don't dare to go to my aunt these days, I'm afraid that when I get to your house, I will think about books and things, and I can't help crying. In fact, my aunt is very good like this, if she can not wake up for the rest of her life, then in her heart, Shuhe is not dead, she is still alive, she will not be sad and sad, and she will live the same life as before. It's just that you father and son are suffering, and it is really not easy to endure the grief while acting in front of your aunt. After speaking, he went to pull Bai Heran again, "Good sister, sit down, you are willing to cooperate with my aunt in this scene, and relax her heart, I will thank you." ”
Bai Heran smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, anyway, I'm here to join my relatives, my relatives haven't seen me for many years, I don't know if I recognize it or not, it's also my creation that the Meng family can take me in, it can be regarded as mutual fulfillment!" ”
"I like you." Ren Qiuyan expressed her emotions without hesitation, "Generous, you are a frank person at first glance, plus you can do those things for the book and for you, it is enough for us to be grateful to you for a lifetime." ”
She pulled Bai Heran to sit down, but she wiped away her tears, "It's good that Shuhe's body has been found, otherwise I always feel like it's a problem." But uncle, has the light found the body? Have you ever found out who did this? ”
Meng Wencheng shook his head decisively, "No." "Speculation about him and Bai Heran.
Ren Qiuyan slapped the table angrily, "Who is it?" Why can't I find it? It's been almost a month, and my people are not idle, and they are investigating this matter every day. But this incident seems to have happened out of thin air, and no matter how much we investigate, we can't find the slightest clue. Uncle, is it possible that he will not write a book and die in vain? Your Meng family and our Ren family are all Gebuwang clans, but now it has become a big joke in Fengxiang City. People are saying behind our backs that we're cowards. ”
Meng Wencheng sighed again, "People are right, we are." ”
Ren Qiuyan was speechless, and Meng Shuhe's incident caused several people to fall into an atmosphere of mourning, and they couldn't ease up for a long time.
Seeing that this situation could not sit here all the time, Bai Crane ran a few people to wash first, and the maid outside asked someone to carry a few basins of water, and only after a few people washed did they sit down again.
Ren Qiuyan is not a hypocritical person, and she is not so particular, and reminded them: "You just wash and wash, don't change your clothes, otherwise your aunt will see it bad when you return home." ”
Bai Heran instantly had a good impression of this county lord, after all, it was the clothes worn by the dead to bury them, especially her, she also held the head of the dead, which is generally very taboo. The identity of the dignified county lord is that he will never eat at the same table with a few of them like this. But this county lord first thought of not worrying about Mrs. Meng, and didn't care about their clothes at all, which was worth a high look.
Meng Wencheng sighed vigorously, saw that there was wine on the table, and didn't ask, just took it and drank it, and drank three bowls in a row.
The wine is ginger flower wine, a specialty of Gobu, although the strength is not big, but the three bowls are a little bit on the top of the day.
Meng Wencheng's nose was sour, and he wanted to shed tears again. Seeing this, Meng Shuyu quickly pulled away from the topic and asked Ren Qiuyan: "Why did you come to Wangfeng Tower alone?" I also ordered wine, cousin, did something happen to you? ”
Seeing the two cousins and brothers talking, Bai Heran took the initiative to take care of Meng Wencheng and persuaded him softly: "Father drink less, it's not good if the alcohol is too heavy." Although my mother doesn't care if we come out for dinner and drink, if you drink too much, your emotions will be uncontrollable, and it won't be good to say something you shouldn't say when the time comes. ”
Ren Qiuyan heard her persuade Meng Wencheng like this, nodded, and was a little better to Ren Xiang dyed by the white crane.
But then she also sighed, depressedly poured herself ginger flower wine, and drank half a bowl in one gulp.
"Is there something wrong, or is it a grievance." She told Meng Shuyu, "Your cousin, I called someone to bully." ”
"Huh?" Meng Shuyu was taken aback, "What, what do you mean?" ”
Meng Wencheng also looked up at her, "Qiu Yan, what happened?" ”
Ren Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that the two of them had misunderstood, so she waved her hand again and again, "It's not that bullying, don't think about it, I mean that someone is bullying and oppressing, and it has pressed on my head." ”
Meng Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief, and he was relieved, and he didn't ask who bullied a county lord, and only cared about drinking by himself. But fortunately, I still remember Bai Heran's words, and if I drink again, it will be a small sip, and I don't dare to drink it in a big gulp.
Meng Shuyu heard what came out of the door, frowned and asked her: "Cousin, your grandmother is a noble concubine, who dares to bully you?" Don't want to live? There is no one in this Fengxiang City who dares to argue with you, right? ”
"Why not." Meng Shuyu sighed, "The noble concubine is just a concubine in the end, and she will be the biggest monarch at any time." ”
"Monarch? He bullied you? Meng Shuyu was puzzled, "You call him uncle, no matter how much he can't deceive you." ”
"It's not him, it's his daughter, the princess of Shengyun." Ren Qiuyan patted the table, and when she mentioned this Shengyun princess, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "It's just that she is a princess, or the only princess who has been sealed in the mansion, with a high status and great power, she bullied me on the head, what is it?" ”
Meng Shuyu also heard the anger, "That Chun Yuxuan has always been domineering, but between you has always been well water and not river water, plus there is the affection of your aunt and grandmother, and getting along can be regarded as peaceful, what kind of wind does she smoke to compete with you?" Because of what? ”
Ren Qiuyan snorted lightly twice, a little reluctant to speak.
Meng Shuyu was anxious, "It's all said and done, what else can't you continue to say?" You tell me why, if she doesn't take advantage of this, I will help you get justice! ”
