The mirror of the past life is in the hands of the Taoist priest, emitting a flickering light.

The fat man pushed Lin Chen and whispered, "You say, is Ye Jiangchuan still alive now?" ”

"Alive! Surely live more nourishing than we do! Don't worry about it! Didn't the Taoist say it, even if you look for him now, you can't find it! The time has not yet come! This is the Yin and Yang Realm, in the void, we can't find it! ”

"You won't never find him!" The fat man glanced at the Taoist priest timidly, and said, "This guy is really good!" Last time, they asked me to go to Lao Mokou's side to get materials, I didn't want to go, or he walked for me! If he has three longs and two shorts, I will be very sad in my heart! ”

Lin Chen looked at the fat man as if he didn't know him.

This is the first time he has found that fat people are also worried and anxious about others, and feel sorry for others. In his opinion, the fat guy has always been a heartless person, and all the fears are out of his own considerations, but this time, he has changed!

Not bad!

This guy is really improving!

"We can't help it now! I think he'll be fine! Lin Chen said, and said: "I found a very interesting thing, how can there be a fat man everywhere!" The appearance of a fat man always brings joy to people! ”

"Are you Zhou Xuan in the story of the past life told by the Taoist priest?" The fat man said.

"Yes, you see this man has a round face, round eyes, a round nose, a round chin, and even his eyebrows are crooked!" Lin Chen said, looked sideways at the fat man, and said with a smile: "Daoist, look! Look, the Zhou Xuan you said looks like our fat man! Fat people are also round faces, round eyes... ”

The Taoist priest nodded slightly.

Looking at the Taoist priest, Lin Chen suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and said: "Daoist, just now you mentioned a travel map, drawing four men and three women, how do I seem to have an impression of this picture you said!" ”

"That's right! I also think this picture is familiar! The fat man thought for a moment and said, "I still remember, we cut out the oracle bone inscription on the blue flower cloth taken out of the embroidered shoes, and actually spelled out a picture that looks like a few children traveling!" I also counted, four boys, three girls! Lin Chen, you have an impression! ”

Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully.

"There have been several times when the eerie 'Go play!' Sounds and words! It all seems to have something to do with this! The Taoist chief just said that this is a strange painting, and if it is lost, strange things will be happening... This strange coincidence made Lin Chen's brain ache, he turned to the Taoist priest, looked at him with a strange expression, and said after a while: "Could it be that this painting was lost later?" It is precisely because of the loss of this painting that we have encountered so many strange things? ”

"Hmm!" The Taoist priest nodded calmly, "Listen to me and keep talking!" ”

(Story continues)

The evening breeze carried a hint of coolness through the hall, blowing the bell in front of the door.

Ding Shujiao saw Meng Jiagui coming in in the dressing mirror, turned her head and gritted her teeth and whispered, "I can't say a word in this house?" Look at the attitude of this family towards me! ”

Meng Jiagui hung up his clothes, sat down, reached out to take the magazine, and flipped through it casually.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, don't you hear me? ”

"Oh! Hear me! ”

Ding Shujiao walked over and snatched the magazine from Meng Jiagui's hand, "Let me talk to you, why is it so difficult!" ”

"It's okay to talk, but you also have to look at the occasion! The master is busy with business, you are a woman's family, you want to insert it, so everyone is embarrassed!"

"And what do you want me to do?"

Meng Jiagui raised his eyes to look at her, and said impatiently, "What to do?" What's the matter? Say! ”

"I don't have enough money on hand, and I spend so much money at home and abroad, what do you tell me to do?"

"Looking for the eldest lady!"

"I've been there, and the eldest lady beckoned the servants to cut paper, make lanterns, and make paste, but I don't know if she is really busy, or if she is deliberately pretending to be busy, but she doesn't pay attention to me at all."

Ding Shujiao said, got up, poured tea for Meng Jiagui, and handed it over.

"You go help me!"

Meng Jiagui glanced at her and didn't take the tea.

"What? You still want me to send it to your mouth! ”

Meng Jiagui took the tea and said, "It stands to reason that the young grandmother wants to greet the eldest lady early in the morning, and if you don't go, she can have no thoughts in her heart!" ”

Ding Shujiao walked to the mahogany basin shelf, lowered her head and bent down to wipe her face hastily.

Meng Jiagui said again: "I heard from someone that the eldest lady coughed all night, and I asked someone to make almond tea, so I will send it over, or you will go with me?" ”

Facing the mirror, Ding Shujiao adjusted some gouache in the palm of her hand, gently wiped it on her face, and used rouge to smear a red on her lower lip, pursed her lips, her eyes turned twice in her heart, and said: "Forget it, I don't want to invite a big lady to see, if you want to go, you should go by yourself!" ”

It's all a woman's family, who can not know who!

The eldest lady has to let herself give her that attitude towards herself

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Sending almond tea will make Ding Shujiao feel more awkward than eating a fly.

"Are you going or not?" Meng Jiagui asked again.

"How many more times do you want me to say it? Don't go! I didn't invite her to see her, but when I went, it was even harder to speak! ”

Meng Jiagui thought for a while, got up, and simply went to the eldest lady's room alone.

Before entering the door of the eldest lady's room, Meng Jiagui could hear a burst of coughing.

Meng Jiagui opened the door and went in, and saw the eldest lady snuggling on the bed, and the maid had already combed her hair, and was inserting a small comb for the eldest lady at this time.

"Mother, cough so badly! Why isn't it good yet! ”

The eldest lady tilted her head sideways, and when she saw that it was Meng Jiagui who came in with a white porcelain bowl, she made a gesture and beckoned him to sit.

"It's a lot better!"

Meng Jiagui found an open space and sat down.

"The almond tea in my bowl is almond tea, and I know that my mother loves to drink this, so I specially ordered my subordinates to make it! Drink it while it's hot! ”

"Hmm!"

The eldest lady took the almond tea from Meng Jiagui's hand, blew it gently, and tasted it.

"Hmmm! Delicious! It's rare for my son to have such filial piety! ”

"If it's good, drink more, this thing can moisten your lungs and clear your throat, drink more, your cough will be fine!"

The eldest lady took another sip, put the white porcelain bowl on the table, and said, "Let's drink it later!" Or is it a little too hot, by the way, you came to me for something? ”

Meng Jiagui paused, looked at the eldest wife, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, secretly thinking, He Qingping is here, no matter how much her mother dresses up, the master doesn't pay much attention to it! It's also sad!

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me in a daze? ”

Meng Jiagui paused: "Oh! It's nothing! I mean, there's no money on the second young grandmother's side! ”

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Chai Lanying coughed twice, her voice was very high, and it sounded a little deafening, and then she cleared her throat, reached out and took two sips of almond tea.

"Didn't your dad tell you? Money is tight at home! Where is the spare money for her to spend Huhua! ”

"But.."

"The useless dad who gave her those silver taels and called her is leaving! Every once in a while, I come to the door and ask for it! What's the use of giving her! A hole that can't be filled! ”

"But..."

The eldest lady raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Jiagui and interrupted him.

"That's it! I don't bother to listen to your explanation, just go back and let the housekeeper send her some, I have more important things to tell you! ”

As she spoke, she stood up, landed on both feet at the same time, and with a "bang", her hard heel seemed to hit the floor.

The eldest lady walked to Meng Jiagui's side, her mouth almost touched Meng Jiagui's ear, and whispered mysteriously: "That incident, I have already said hello to the master!" Anyway, the lord has no objection! ”

Meng Jiagui frowned, "What did you say hello?" ”

The eldest lady gave him a blank look, paced two steps in the room thoughtfully, and suddenly noticed the door that was still open, pointed to it, and said, "Close the door first!" ”

Meng Jiagui went over and closed the door and looked at her blankly.

The room was a little dimly lit, and the white rattan chairs were dyed a slightly greasy dark yellow. The eldest lady sat down comfortably, bowed forward, and rested one hand on the table.

"Your eldest brother died early, and I have only one son for you! If you don't have one, this family will be taken away by that goblin sooner or later! ”

"Mother! You're thinking too much! ”

"It's not that I'm thinking too much! It's you who are so stupid! ”

The eldest lady leaned forward again and sighed, "Alas! I don't blame you, I just looked away! Marry you a useless woman! I also know you don't like her! ”

Meng Jiagui was dizzy in his heart, and when he heard it, he shook his head and scratched the root of his ear with his hand, "Mother! Don't worry about me! ”

Chai Lanying hugged her arms in front of her arms, with a serious look.

"Silly! I'm the only one who worries about you! Others? Hum! Do you think the lord really thinks so much of you? Believe it or not, I heard it with my own ears! ”

"What did you hear?"

"Hear what? You don't believe it, I'm afraid it will break your heart! If you don't say it, you're as stupid as a fly without a head! Poor every day! The old man told the little goblin that he valued him and her children more! ”

Meng Jiagui smiled, "You also believe this!" Sir, that's just talking! ”

"How can it be just talking? Everyone has said that this Mengfu family property, as well as the 'cloud clothes and silk line', is up to him! ”

The eldest lady's eyes glared at Meng Jiagui fiercely.

Meng Jiagui picked up a small bamboo stick from the table, sat down, and said casually while picking his teeth: "What's the matter, I'm also the boss of the Meng family!" As soon as Brother Wuchang dies, I am the boss of the Meng family, his eldest son! There's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

"Humph!"

Chai Lanying sighed, "It's good to do everything you think."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Finish! When the time comes, he will put the gold, silver and jewels of the house into the hands of the little goblin, and when he kicks his legs, who will recognize you as the eldest son! It's too late for you to cry! ”

"Anyway, he can give it to whoever he likes!"

Meng Jiagui looked indifferent.

As soon as she heard this, the eldest lady raised her chin in shock, stepped forward hurriedly, and poked his head with her fingers, with a look of displeasure, "Why! Or call you stupid! It's yours, why should you give it away! ”

"You don't know the temper of the master! He spoils his little lady He Qingping, and I can't do anything about it! ”

"Here's the problem! Didn't you see He Qingping's belly getting bigger day by day! Do you want to wait for their son to come out and fight with you, to rob you? ”

"What can I do! This is a matter of rain and a mother getting married! Just let it be! ”

"Silly! She just bullied us without a queen! Got it? ”

After picking his teeth, Meng Jiagui put away the toothpick, didn't say anything more, and after a while, he had a match, and said without a match: "I understand what you mean!" But, mother, you're thinking too much! ”

"It's good to understand!" Chai Lanying chuckled, "I'll just say it!" I shouldn't be so stupid as not to open my shell! I've already said hello to the master, and if there is a suitable one, I'll marry you again! It's not that I think too much, it's that you don't have many eyes, and people will calculate you! Calculate your family business! Got it! ”

"Marry another room? Why don't you discuss this with me! ”

Meng Jiagui stood up with a stunned expression.

"You sit down first, what's there to discuss! Such a good thing! ”

"It depends on whether I like it or not! It's like last time, shoehorn into my daughter-in-law! I don't ask if I like it or not! How can you decide such a big matter without consulting me! ”

Chai Lanying smiled and pushed him, "Isn't this just discussing with you!" No one else can ask for it, but you're good! Look at your face! It's as good as a donkey's face! Didn't I tell you? It's not decided yet! ”

Meng Jiagui breathed a sigh of relief and said in a muffled voice: "Oh! Got it! It's not settled, that is, it's just talking, and just talking about it is the same as not saying it, right? ”

"Hmmm! The lord didn't object, even if he agreed! ”

The eldest lady sighed softly, "Alas! Seeing He Qingping's belly growing day by day, but there has been no movement on your side, it's really anxious! A piece of my heart is sick! ”

"Isn't that good?"

Meng Jiagui said in a low voice.

"How's it good?" The eldest lady suddenly remembered something again, and said, "Oh! By the way, I also want to remind you that you are the young master of our Meng family! ”

"What's wrong with the young master?"

"The young master must look like a young master! It's okay, don't mess with those shitty girls, you know? ”

Meng Jiagui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What have you heard?" ”

The eldest lady was speechless, knowing that she almost missed her mouth, as the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion, it was really an undignified thing to eavesdrop on other words, so she smiled and said: "It's nothing, I want to say, you go back and seriously consider what I said, I know you are not stupid!" ”

Meng Jiagui snorted helplessly, and said several times as if coping: "Got it!" Got it! Got it! ”

The eldest lady glanced at Meng Jiagui and said helplessly: "Alas! Heartless guy! Otherwise, the lord doesn't like you! ”

Meng Jiagui knew that his words were not liked by the eldest wife, so he lowered his head and rubbed the lines on his nails, pursed his lips, and said lightly: "If my mother has nothing else to do, I will go back!" ”

Meng Jiagui turned around and was about to go out.

"Wait!"

"What else?" Meng Jiagui turned around and asked.

"The master said that in two days it will be Liu Renhong's birthday banquet, and he is going to take you over. Liufu is a well-known rich family here, by the way, let you also open your eyes, see the world, and know more people! Good for your previous future! On this occasion, you have been there a lot, and your head will be opened! ”

"I don't have to participate in this kind of activity, my brain is very enlightened!" Meng Jiagui looked indifferent, obviously with a reluctant expression.

The eldest lady knew that her son had a stubborn spirit, and she didn't want to be gregarious, let alone socialize. Whenever this kind of thing happens, this kid has never been awkward.

However, this time, she must take him with her.

The people she should know, she wants him to know, and the things she should know, she also wants him to know that he is her son and her hope in the Meng family, and he will one day replace Meng Xichang.

"Such a good opportunity to meet the upper-class nobles, others can't ask for it, but it's better for you to hide? Just hide! You're going to wipe out all your fortunes! ”

Meng Jiagui seemed to understand something, and he didn't say to go, nor did he say no, but looked at the eldest lady without a sound.

"What use do you think I'm for! It's up to you to decide! ”

"Okay! Listen to my mother! Go for it! ”

"That's right!" Chai Lanying raised her hand and slapped him hard.
