Chapter 1164: The Concubine's Niece
"It's not easy to make a public burial." Bai Heran said, "First, I need to take care of my mother's emotions, and second, this matter is also ugly and not easy to publicize." Moreover, we must no longer provoke the king's anger, lest he extend his hand of revenge to the Meng family again. ”
Meng Wencheng shuddered, yes, he also has a son, and he can't send his son to that tyrant anymore.
"Thanks to you." He kept nodding at Bai Heran, "Thanks to you for coming to the Meng family, otherwise these things are likely to completely crush the Meng family." Kid, I didn't even have time to ask you, what's your name? ”
She smiled, "My name is Meng Shuhe, and from the moment I stepped into this mansion, I was only called Meng Shuhe." ”
Meng Wencheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Shuhe, from now on, you will be my Shuhe." ”
It was still the middle of the night, and the corpse could not be buried at this time, so Bai Heran chose to set off from Mengfu tomorrow, and arrived at the burial place less than an hour, and it was just the end of the time to be buried.
Master Meng sent someone to guard here, but he couldn't stay, for fear that Mrs. Meng would suspect him. Meng Shuyu took the initiative to stay, and Bai Heran took Bai Jinghong back to the courtyard where he lived.
When she went back, An Lan was already waiting in the courtyard, and when she saw them coming back, she didn't ask much, so she invited people into the house and washed her hands and faces again with water, and then retreated to let their master and servant rest.
But in fact, he couldn't rest so quickly, the sword shadow had already arrived, and he only appeared when An Lan left, and the first sentence was: "The master's hexagram is really accurate, and he is really a nobleman." ”
Bai Heran smiled bitterly, "It's also crooked." How about it, have you already found out the details of the Meng family? ”
Jian Ying nodded, "The master went to check when he entered the Meng Mansion, this Meng family is also a noble family in Gebu, the ancestors of the Meng family have the merit of founding the country, although there are no officials and no lords in later generations, but they are also the emperor's grace and wealth, and they will always be rich and noble." Mrs. Meng, who was delirious and mistook her daughter, was the niece of a concubine in the palace, and the relationship between the aunt and nephew was very good, and Mrs. Meng often went to the palace to visit the concubine. ”
"Well, I heard Master Meng talk about these things just now, is there anything else?"
"Yes." Jian Ying said again, "The monarch's biological mother, Concubine Zao, grew up beside that concubine since she was a child, and the concubine is equivalent to his adoptive mother. The old monarch died violently, and the concubines in the palace were basically killed, and the remaining few were also reduced to the playthings of the current monarch because of their youth. Only that concubine lived a really good life, although she was not respected as the queen mother, but she also had the same status as the queen mother. The Meng family is also a beneficiary, because the head of the house is the niece of the concubine, and her family status has also risen. ”
Bai Jinghong heard this, "That concubine I know that Chun Yuao respects her very much, no matter how cruel he is, as long as that concubine arrives, he will definitely be able to suppress him." But the concubine rarely comes out to meet people, and she only stays in her palace on weekdays, and rarely sees guests. Unless her daughter and niece come, they won't see her, and no one else will see her. I only heard about these things, I haven't seen the concubine, but I didn't expect her niece to be Mrs. Meng. ”
Bai Heran smiled bitterly, "There are many coincidences in this world!" At this point, he didn't say any more, but just told Jian Ying, "Tomorrow I will go out of the city to bury Miss Meng, you follow in secret, no matter who pays attention to the movements, don't pay attention." ”
Jian Ying frowned when he heard this, "The master is easy to be recognized by people by showing his face for the Meng family like this." ”
She waved her hand, "It's okay, if you recognize it, you can recognize it, this Meng Mansion is not peaceful, I have been here for a long time, I'm afraid the news has already spread." Unless you change your face as soon as you enter the city, you can't hide it under the noses of others. Then simply show them generously, this is Gebu Kyoto, in order to settle the hearts of the people, they don't dare to do anything to me on the surface, otherwise if I show the name of the princess of heaven, that is, Gebu is openly the enemy of Eastern Qin, the people will panic, and the courtiers will also panic. As for the sneaky things behind the scenes, they want to do it, then I'll go on, let's see the tricks! ”
Jian Ying no longer persuaded her, but just told her: "There is no news from the Fourth Highness yet, and the subordinate analysts have already entered the palace." ”
"Then let's go to the palace too." She immediately made a decision, "Meet here tomorrow night, let's go into the palace to explore." ”
This matter was settled in this way, Bai Heran didn't pay much attention to it, but Bai Jinghong was scared enough. So much so that Bai Heran lay down on the couch to sleep, and she kept chanting: "Ah Ran, do you really want to visit the palace at night?" That's no joke, the Gobu Palace is heavily guarded, and how many assassins are coming and going, you might be taking a risk! ”
Bai Heran had no choice but to tell her: "It's okay, I'll be more careful, and once I find that something is wrong, I will immediately pull out, and I will never force it." Don't worry, I'll get out of the house, you're waiting for me in the house. ”
Bai Jinghong was still not at ease, so that he didn't sleep much for the rest of the night, and when he woke up the next day, his eyes were black.
Hakuzuru slept a little longer, but he didn't wake up just after midnight. There is something important to do today, and she can't sleep.
There was someone on the side of the couch, and she didn't need to open her eyes to know that someone was sitting down, but she didn't pay attention to it, because she knew that it was Mrs. Meng.
Everyone will have a unique smell on their body, just like she always had a faint medicinal fragrance on her body in the past, and Mrs. Meng has a jasmine scent, which smells very good and calms.
Smelling this scent, she was a little reluctant to open her eyes and not want to get up. It was set off at the right time, and there was still time to rely on it for a while, so he turned over and wrapped the quilt.
Mrs. Meng sighed, lowered her voice and said to the maid standing beside her: "This child must not have slept well, I touched the quilt and it was cold, and I didn't cover it all night, is it not enough charcoal?" ”
It was An Lan who answered: "If you go back to Mrs., you don't need charcoal in this season, but yesterday the slave was afraid that Miss would be cold, so she specially burned silver charcoal." Maybe it's not burned much, and the slave will remember to add more tonight. ”
Mrs. Meng was unhappy, "How can a little silver charcoal be used to be petty?" There is no shortage of that in our house. Charcoal is not in any season, as long as you feel cold, you can light it, and if the humidity is heavy in summer, you have to light the drying house. Remember? ”
An Lan hurriedly replied: "Remember the slave maid, it is all the slave maid who is derelict in his duties." ”
Bai Heran can't lie down, she is not the real Meng Shuhe, so she can't let An Lan carry this disaster. The charcoal is lit all the time, and the reason why her quilt is cold is because she has this physique, and no matter how warm the quilt is, she can sleep cold. Second, it was because she went to the side yard and came back when it was almost dawn, so she naturally couldn't cover the heat.
"Mother, why is it here?" She sat up from the couch and raised her hand to rub her eyes, "It's so hot in the room." ”
Mrs. Meng glared, "What's hot?" I don't touch your couch, it's all cold and cold, why is it hot? I'm training you, girl, and I don't know how to heat up the charcoal, and I'll freeze you. ”
She smiled bitterly when she heard this, "How can it be so easy to freeze, it's because I like to be cooler in the house, so that people will be more awake." It's too hot to sleep so hard that I can't hear any movement, which is not good. ”
"Isn't sleep just about sleeping? You're a kid who always has a lot of thoughts. Mrs. Meng nodded her head, although it was a reprimanding tone, but it was full of love. How's it going, isn't it still comfortable at home? Don't always run out in the future, you have to go to Xianyu City and take a carriage, and your mother will go with you in the future. When you get to the city, you go back to your grandfather's house, you should visit, I will stay at the inn and wait for you, and when you have finished living enough, we will go back together. ”
Bai Heran felt sad in his heart, Mrs. Meng was frightened by Meng Shu and the head, and her memory stayed before Meng Shuhe left home. Then there was a connection with her appearance, and I thought she had just returned from visiting relatives in Xianyu City.
"Mother, don't worry about me, if my daughter doesn't leave in the future, even if she wants to leave, she will definitely bring her family with her, okay?" She coaxed Mrs. Meng, like coaxing a child, "I'm hungry, is it okay for my mother to have breakfast with me?" ”
Mrs. Meng was very happy, "Good, good. Yesterday I saw you eating cakes on the side of the road, and I knew that you were hungry for that bite, and I got up early this morning to bake a few for you, and they are still sticking them in the pot, ensuring that they are better than those sold outside. As she spoke, she pulled the white crane to dye it, and Bai Jinghong and An Lan waited on the side, one putting on her shoes and the other changing her clothes.
It was Bai Jinghong who changed clothes, and took a white skirt, and Mrs. Meng said badly when she saw it, "It's too plain, you can't wear so white even if you like to wear plain, what does it look like?" "Then I'm going to find her another garment."
Bai Heran stopped her, "Mother, I really like this skirt, it's not plain, don't you see that there are small flowers on the waist seal?" It's pretty good. In a moment, I will stick a jeweled hairpin on my head, and I will be able to offset this plain color. ”
Mrs. Meng sighed, "I always say that I can't talk about you, it's just a skirt, you can wear whatever color you like!" That is, the hairpin must be worn red, and the ruby with a white skirt looks the best. ”
She nodded as she dressed, "Mother don't worry, I will definitely remember to wear it." ”
Mrs. Meng took her hand with a smile, watched her wash, and combed her hair herself. Bai Heran thought, if he didn't know this, he really couldn't see that Mrs. Meng was mentally problematic, and of course he couldn't see that she was actually not the daughter of the Meng family.
It's all done so naturally, it's like a normal life, a normal mother and daughter.
But thinking about Meng Shuhe's body again, and thinking about the sins that Meng Shuhe had suffered, she could understand more and more that Master Meng gritted his teeth and said that he would avenge his daughter at all costs.
After finishing the makeup, Mrs. Meng smiled and looked at the daughter in front of her, but suddenly frowned, and at the same time said "huh......
