Chapter 75 (2nd Watch)
Mei Shuyu turned her head and saw that Zhao Qingxi was very thin, as if he would fall down as soon as the wind blew, and he looked weak and helpless with his head down. He raised his hand and slapped himself on the head fiercely, scolding himself for not saying this at this time.
There is a suspicion of taking advantage of people's danger.
So, he immediately said, "I just admire you, you don't have a burden, if you don't like me, it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't think you'll like me." Once the prince's cousin-in-law said that when I return to Beijing, help me hold the red line with you and try to get married, but after I returned to Beijing, she had morning sickness and didn't care about me, and now my cousin-in-law's whereabouts are unknown, and Zhao Zaifu has an accident again, I shouldn't have mentioned this today, don't take it to heart, it's not easy for you to support Zhao Fu, how you should plan, just ignore me, you just think I'm just talking nonsense, don't worry. ”
Zhao Qingxi slowly raised his eyes, as if he knew Mei Shuyu for the first time, and looked at him seriously.
Mei Shuyu was embarrassed by her, touched her nose, didn't dare to meet her with her eyes, and secretly scolded herself for being unproductive.
Zhao Qingxi stared at Mei Shuyu for a while, and suddenly said, "Second Prince Yu go and burn two pieces of paper for my father!" You came, didn't you mourn him yet? ”
Mei Shuyu was stunned. When he came to Zhao's mansion, he was busy with a thorough investigation, so he naturally didn't care about condolences to Zhao Zaifu.
Zhao Qingxi turned around and walked towards the mourning hall.
Mei Shuyu stayed in place for a while, really didn't dare to guess what Zhao Qingxi meant, but he was originally a person who couldn't hold back and understood that he couldn't eat and sleep without asking about everything, so he gritted his teeth, caught up with Zhao Qingxi, licked his face and asked, "Miss Zhao, are you ...... What do you mean by that? I'm stupid, you can be clear. ”
Zhao Qingxi paused, and his voice was full of emotion, "You are quite stupid." ”
Mei Shuyu was annoyed and had no words.
Zhao Qingxi didn't give him any explanation, and continued to walk forward.
Mei Shuyu thought about it, but she really didn't dare to think about it, so she could only follow her and come to the front of the mourning hall.
Because Zhao Qingxi put Zhao Zaifu's body in a coffin, and there were burning paper money, braziers and other things in front of the mourning hall, at this time, the courtiers were almost gone.
Zhao Qingxi should have knelt in front of the mourning hall to return the salute to the mourners, but because Mrs. Zhao didn't take care of it, she had to take care of all the affairs in the house and cooperate with Mei Shuyu to thoroughly investigate the people in the house, so it was the family of the clan next to the Zhao Mansion who was guarding the mourning hall, or crying or condoling.
Zhao Qingxi came to the front of the mourning hall, and everyone looked at her.
When Zhao Zaifu was there, there was only one daughter of Zhao Qingxi, and the relatives of the side tribes wanted Zhao Zaifu to have a stepchild, but Zhao Zaifu refused to live or die, saying that it was enough to have a daughter.
Everyone in the capital knows that eighty percent of the water control in the Sichuan River Valley is the silver of the Zhao Mansion, and the Zhao Mansion has long been hollowed out. Although Zhao Zaifu is in his position, in fact, the mansion has long been empty, and even the emaciated horse is not as good.
Now that Zhao Zaifu is dead again, the orphan daughter and widow, seeing that this Zhao Mansion is in decline. The people of the side branch clan feel that the Zhao Mansion can't get anything now, and there will be nothing to make people fish in the future, so they don't even do their best to help the guards and condolences or something, which is quite coping.
Zhao Qingxi has been watching coldly since yesterday, and she didn't say anything, in short, she had her own plans to take her mother out of Beijing.
But today is different.
She came to the front of the mourning hall, glanced at everyone, stood on one side, reached out and took the burning paper, turned around and handed it to Mei Shuyu.
Mei Shuyu glanced at Zhao Qingxi, and then at the relatives of the Zhao Mansion who were watching from the sidelines, and silently took it, with his current official position in the court, he took the burning paper and threw it into the brazier, and then bowed to Zhao Zaifu three times. But he pondered for a while, and felt that even if he would be wrong, it would be nothing for the juniors to kneel and worship.
So, he knelt on one knee, gently placed the burning paper in the brazier, and solemnly bowed three times.
After he bowed three times, Zhao Qingxi whispered, "What did the second son say to my father?" ”
Mei Shuyu's heart pounded twice, and she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qingxi.
Zhao Qingxi still looked pale and couldn't see any expression, and his words were very calm.
Mei Shuyu called her mother in her heart, thinking that Miss Zhao was smart, and she was stupid compared to him, what did she mean by this? Explain that he knows how to do it? Now she doesn't say anything, does she approve of him and agree with him or what?
If he doesn't say what he says, won't he be tired of her reputation? There are so many people here watching.
He tried his best to see something from the expression in Zhao Qingxi's eyes, but he stared at Zhao Qingxi for a long time and didn't see anything. He retracted his gaze in frustration, his mind in turmoil.
Zhao Qingxi waited for a while and said softly, "Doesn't the second son have anything to say to my father?" ”
Mei Shuyu finally heard a little emotion in the chaos, and he said in his heart at this moment, "Yes, yes." The words fell, gritted his teeth violently, and said to Zhao Zaifu's coffin tablet, "In Xia Mei Shuyu, I have loved Miss Zhao for a long time, and I should have come to the house as soon as possible to propose marriage, but after returning to Beijing, everything was delayed, and I didn't want Zaifu to suddenly drive to the west, and I couldn't personally propose to you, it's really a pity. ”
The people guarding in front of the mourning hall couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene and heard this scene, and their eyes widened one by one.
Who is Mei Shuyu? The second son of Meifu! In the past, when he was young, he didn't do anything more, but he didn't say anything, just said that in the past year, he has made great contributions in the southwest, and now he has returned to Beijing, and he is a heavy military power, and he is a new upstart in the court and the middle of the court, and his future is limitless.
I've never heard of anything he has to do with Zhao Qingxi before? Today, he actually knelt in front of Zhao Zaifu's spiritual hall? Aren't they dazzled, ringing in their ears, seeing and hearing wrong, right?
Many people rubbed their eyes, oh, that's right, Mei Shuyu is still kneeling.
Everyone looked at Zhao Qingxi, who was standing aside, thinking that this was really strange today.
Zhao Qingxi has always been a model of a woman in the boudoir, in everyone's memory, her family affairs, it must be the words of the parents' orders, the three media, the six hires, and the elders are in charge, otherwise, it is not dignified.
In everyone's thoughts, the woman in the capital, who is not dignified, will not be Zhao Qingxi.
Today, Mei Shuyu is so alone, without her parents to accompany her, kneeling in front of this mourning hall, and saying such a thing, it stands to reason that what she is doing is ridiculous. On Zhao Qingxi, she should let the people of the Zhao Mansion immediately bombard him out.
But Zhao Qingxi didn't, today, they all seem to be wrong.
After Mei Shuyu finished speaking, Zhao Qingxi stared at Mei Shuyu for a while, and saw that Mei Shuyu had no love with a look of openness, she was "fluttering" and happy all of a sudden, turned around, took a roll of burning paper, walked two steps, and knelt in front of the mourning hall next to Mei Shuyu, and in Mei Shuyu's stunned, she threw the burning paper into the brazier, and asked in a clear voice, "Dad, did you agree?" ”
Mei Shuyu blinked, a little dazed, and her spirit was not there.
Zhao Qingxi smiled and said in a clear voice, "If you don't speak, your daughter will agree by default." After the words fell, she turned her head to Mei Shuyan and said seriously, "My father said that he agreed, and after my one-year hot filial piety period, you will come to propose marriage!" After three years of filial piety, we got married. ”
Mei Shuyu's eyes widened, and the disbelief in his heart was intertwined with the surprise of his wish being fulfilled, making him wonder whether he was surprised or happy. He looked at Zhao Qingxi, trembling the corners of his mouth for a long time before he said, "You...... Do you really know what you're doing? ”
"Yes!" Zhao Qingxi casually untied the sachet he was wearing and handed it to him, "Heaven and earth are above, in front of my father, don't dare to talk nonsense." The words fell, raising eyebrows, "What about you?" Do you really know what you're doing? ”
"Yes." Mei Shuyu was afraid that she would regret it, so she immediately reached out and took the sachet she handed over, tied it around her waist with shaking hands, and it took a long time to tie it, and then pulled the jade pendant on her waist and handed it to her, "Here's this." ”
Zhao Qingxi stretched out his hand to take it and groped twice in his hand, the jade pendant is warm jade, in such a cold weather, her hands are a little warmer, just like Mei Shuyu, who has a pure heart, which is commendable. She lowered her head and slowly tied Mei's jade pendant around her waist.
She knew best in her heart what she was doing, and she thought that if she missed Mei Shuyu today, she would regret it.
She has always been smart and does not allow herself to regret it.
Mei Shuyu looked at her, his heart was beating non-stop, if he hadn't honed his sanity in the southwest realm, he couldn't wait to jump up and scream more than a dozen times. Before he followed Yun Chi to the Zhao Mansion today, he never imagined that things would turn out like this.
He didn't want to take advantage of the danger, but Zhao Qingxi gave him a chance.
He looked at Zhao Zaifu's coffin, thinking that he had made his own opinion, and abducted his daughter in front of Zhao Zaifu's spiritual hall, which was also agreed by him, isn't it considered a private gift?
He is now a member of the East Palace, and his grandfather's parents know that if he beats and scolds him, there will be a cousin of the prince to support him.
