Obviously, his tone was full of helplessness and worry, but when he looked closely, there was not much worry in his eyes, Meng Nanjun also figured out what he meant, daring to love She always thought that she had a request for the person in front of her, but in fact, the latter had a calculation in her heart when she asked her to come to talk.

"I'm not afraid of the elders' jokes, the reason why the juniors want to ask about the cause of the death of the eldest lady of the Xu family is because the juniors have friends involved, and that person is very important to the juniors, so even if the juniors themselves are shallow, they want to try their best to save her from fire and water. This is all within the purview of the younger generations. ”

What Meng Nanjun said was not a lie, after all, she really thought so in her heart, but how could the elder not understand that she heard her words and insisted on pretending to be stupid? He immediately shook his head with a smile, and his words were a little more direct.

"There are so many demons and monsters in the world, and the imperial capital is even more filthy, and even the hearts of the people are becoming more and more filthy. When the Meng family was still prosperous, it could also worry a little about the royal family, and those with evil thoughts did not dare to make more mistakes, but over the years, the Meng family was in danger, and it was even more implicated. ”

Hearing this, Meng Nanjun was not much moved, and even faintly felt a little funny, and his words were not as polite as before.

"The elder himself also said that this time is different from the past, it is not easy for our Meng family to survive in the imperial capital now, how can we have the leisure to take care of things other than our own safety? If you accidentally provoke a rich or powerful person, you may even suffer some retaliation. Meng Nanjun has never been a person who can suffer, even if she is facing a respected elder at this time, she can't hold back some words.

"The last time the Meng family dismissed their domestic servants, my father said to me that it was obviously impractical to want the cattle to plow the land and not give the cattle grazing, even if those domestic servants had received a lot of favors from the Meng family, it was the same truth. The elder asked our Meng family to share the worries of Daqi, not to mention whether the current Meng family has that ability, even if there is, the royal family has not said a word of condolences in the past ten years, and even arranged a marriage for me for no reason, no one has ever informed me, and the holy decree was sent to the family, how can people not be cold? ”

These words have actually been hidden in Meng Nanjun's heart for a while, and today she turned them out and poured them clean, and her heart was a lot smoother, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the elder gave a meaningful smile.

"The Marquis of Dingnan became famous at a young age and has a prominent status, Daqi doesn't know how many women are looking forward to marrying him, and the old man thinks that you will be very satisfied with this marriage. After all, it was you who sent the peach leaves to show your intentions, and it was you who said that marrying Dingnan Hou was a blessing. ”

Meng Nanjun was now afraid that others would mention his stupid deeds in the teahouse, so he gritted his teeth a little, but when he thought of the rumors between himself and Dingnanhou on March 3, he immediately felt a little more confident, pouted and went back.

"The major event of marriage is the words of the matchmaker of my parents, my father and mother still don't care about my marriage match, but there are people who have nothing to do with me who have influenced a major event in my life, how can I be satisfied? The frontier is far away from the imperial capital, and it will take more than a month to go to the less, even if the Marquis of Dingnan just agreed to this marriage on the front foot, and returned to the frontier on the back foot and was killed, this time is not right, I don't believe that the elder has no doubts. ”

"What you say is true." The elder turned his beads again, but this time it was extremely slow, as if he was thinking about something, as if he had already settled down.

The incense that had just been changed on the case had burned to the bottom, and the sandalwood was gradually broken, and in the end, Meng Nanjun was defeated first, and got up a little angrily and said: "The elder has nothing to say to the juniors, so the juniors will not stay here for a long time." ”

The corners of the elder's mouth hooked up a smile, obviously gentle, but in Meng Nanjun's eyes, he looked a little cunning.

"You think Lao Wei is insincere and doesn't take your Meng family in your eyes, but have you ever thought about why Lao Wei attaches importance to the Meng family?"

Meng Nanjun was stunned, but she was not ignorant in the end, and soon understood the meaning of his words.

The Meng family serves the Daqi royal family, it is loyal, and it is also dependent on their own family to seek shelter and fame, if one day the Meng family cannot meet the expectations of the royal family, it is reasonable to be abandoned, and the Meng family has come to such a situation.

"Then if the Meng family is as prosperous as ever, can it get the attention of the elders?" Meng Nanjun asked.

The last bit of light in the small incense burner was gone, but it was so imperceptible because it was daylight.

"That's nature." The elder replied to her.

It was already afternoon when Xu Wanzhou came, and when she left Muhua Temple, it was already slanting westward, and the sunset on the horizon eroded the border like a raging fire, but it made Meng Nanjun feel very good.

"Miss, let the maid wait." Li Shu was sitting at the gate of Muhua Temple, boredly watching the people coming and going, and when he caught a glimpse of his young lady approaching, he greeted him, "Have you heard anything?" ”

Meng Nanjun didn't speak, and waited until he had gone down the mountain for a while before he said: "The elder that Xu Wanzhou often comes to see said that let me go to the Qingxi Dusk Garden on the outskirts of the city to have a look, maybe there can be any clues." ”

As soon as she heard about the cemetery, Lishu's eagerness to try it immediately disappeared, Meng Nanjun saw that there was something she didn't understand on her face, so she could only helplessly say to her: "If you are really afraid, you might as well go back to the house first, and I can go by myself." ”

Although Lishu knew that Meng Nanjun was very good to her, and the two were even like sisters, she still remembered what her identity was, and there was absolutely no reason to let her master take risks alone.

Thinking of this, Lishu gritted his teeth and made up his mind, but after agreeing, he still inevitably searched around for the traces of Gao Su, and saw that he was still following behind them with a cold face, and immediately felt a little more stable in his heart.

Walking down from the top of the mountain, the average person is estimated to be tired, so there is always a coachman guarding here at the foot of the mountain.

"Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, it takes a lot of effort for the three of them to go down the mountain, so it is better to rent a carriage and rush back to the house as soon as possible."

Meng Nanjun is here to see Xu Wanzhou today, and the dress is naturally to lean on the rich son, at this time, bring a person to serve, and then come with such a majestic guard, it can really bluff people, it is because the young man stepped forward with a lot of flattery in his tone.

Meng Nanjun coughed lightly, and asked with a straight face: "Where is your carriage?" Take me to see it first. ”

Hearing her instructions, the young man hurriedly led the way in front, and did not forget to evacuate the surrounding people when leaving, which was not inconsiderate.

"I see you're not very old, how familiar can you be with driving?" Lishu is used to bargaining with people outside, first came to such a sentence, and then it was good to negotiate the price with him, who knew that before the teenager responded, there was a middle-aged man in his forties who was honest and honest at first glance.

"He followed his father to run around when he was a child, not to mention anything else, the ability of this car is absolutely first-class, and it is right to choose him."

After the middle-aged man said this, several people next to him echoed the driver, which made the young man a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but scratch his head.

The young man ran in a hurry, and he arrived in front of him in three or two steps, Meng Nanjun only thought that he was grabbing business with the people around him, and now it seems that these people who were robbed of business are not only not angry, but they are defending him inside and outside the words, and this young man's character should not be bad.

"One or two silver, go to the outskirts of the city, I don't lose you. If you think you can go, let's get on the road sooner. Meng Nanjun gave him a slight increase in the usual price, and when he saw the young man who turned around, he smiled again and again, but he no longer considered whether the two silver flowers were worth it.

"What about your father, how did you let you go out alone to beg for a living?" On the way, Meng Nanjun casually accosted him.

The young man's face did not change, and he first thanked the person who watched the car for him, and then returned to Meng Nanjun, "My mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to me, my father always likes to drink, and he broke his leg two years ago, so this can not only hand over the carriage to me, but you can also earn a few food money." ”

Even when it comes to the hardships of life, the teenager still has a smile on his face, like the warm sun in March, which only makes people feel warm.

Meng Nanjun and Lishu got into the carriage one after another, and let Gao Fan also sit up on the grounds of hurrying, and the young man steadily drove the carriage through the flow of people, and looked out through the open and breathable curtain, and could see the young man's tense expression.

"Miss always looks at what people do?" Lishu leaned into Meng Nanjun's ear and whispered.

She didn't think that Meng Nanjun was in love with this young man who was about the same age as her, but the reason why she asked directly instead of making a joke first was entirely because Gao Fan was sitting opposite her.

Meng Nanjun only raised one eyebrow at her, and then returned a deep smile.

Walking through this noisy market, the crowd was obviously much thinner, and the young man who was driving the car also breathed a sigh of relief, and turned the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

It's a laughing person.

"Young Master Fang Cai only said that he was going to the outskirts of the city, and the little one hasn't asked what exactly the place is." Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road, the young man asked in a slightly raised voice while driving the carriage.

Meng Nanjun didn't hide it, but replied: "Go to Qingxi Cemetery." ”

When the young man heard of this place, his face became a little strange, and he immediately told the horse to go more slowly, and could not help but persuade her: "It is not early now, and I am afraid it is not good to go to the cemetery again." ”

Meng Nanjun didn't care about this, after all, in her opinion, ghosts don't dare to come out only at night, so it doesn't make much difference whether it's early or late.

Who knew that the young man was just a little paused, and then reminded him in a low voice.

"This Qingxi cemetery only burned down once last year, I heard that the coffins buried in the ground have burned a hole, and the corpses inside are even more miserable, if the young master has nothing important, it is better not to go."
