Birds chirped, and the post station in Suizhou ushered in a new day.

After a night's nightmare, Hua Rou, who woke up and fell asleep, sat up and hugged the quilt in a daze, her swollen eyes full of exhaustion.

All night she had an intermittent dream, in which she was chased by a black wolf, unable to stop, and had been running wildly in fear, but her body was full of iron locks, and it was extremely heavy.

At this time, the bed curtain was opened, and an unfamiliar face appeared in front of her eyes: "Miss is awake?" ”

Hua Rou looked at the maid with some stiffness: This person is not ......

"Why are you stunned, it's me! Yu'er. Yu'er approached and whispered: "I'm going to go outside to serve and welcome the send-off, so I can only put this human skin mask on." ”

"You did it?"

"I don't have the ability, Tang Xin and Tang Hu did it overnight, and the pair of master and servant you care about have been hidden in a private house unharmed, and when the matter is completed, they will be let go."

Hua Rou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "That's good...... What about me? What about the mask I'm going to wear? ”

"The one that was a young lady failed, and there were so many materials that there were no materials, so as soon as we put it together, you won't wear it, anyway, you are the daughter of the deep mansion compound, and no one has ever seen your face, don't be afraid!"

After Yu'er finished speaking, she suddenly changed her tone, and said to Hua Ju respectfully and submissively: "The slave maid waits for the young lady to freshen up and change clothes." ”

Hua Rou stood up without care, and Yu'er pressed her back to the bed and sat down: "Rules!" Don't forget to teach us the rules of etiquette when you went out yesterday! ”

Hua Rou looked at the nervousness in Yu'er's eyes and completely sobered up.

At this moment, she is not Hua Rou, but Miss Dong Family, and she can't be wrong at all.

After taking a few deep breaths, Hua Rou adjusted, and she slowly stretched out her hand to Yu'er, who respectfully helped her to her feet and walked gently to the dresser.

The posture is full, but there is still tension and caution in his eyes.

"From now on, you are the eldest lady, Dong Zhang's daughter Dong Yurong." As soon as Yu'er finished explaining in Hua Rou's ear, there was a knock on the door, and both of them were so nervous that their bodies trembled, and they looked at the door together.

"Miss, the second son of the Meng family and the team to welcome the relatives have arrived." Outside the door was a servant asking for instructions: "He asked if you could leave in half an hour?" ”

"Miss knows, let's leave in half an hour, there is the second son of Lao." After Yu'er replied loudly, she watched the figure disappear in front of the window, and then she glanced at Hua Rou and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, outside the post station, the welcoming team sent by the Meng Mansion was waiting in line, probably to express their attention and enthusiasm for this marriage, and they were not half a point low, so their outfit could be described as a freshly dressed angry horse, and the momentum was even more majestic.

The dowry was carried into the carriage one by one, and several counters kept counting and verifying, urging or telling them to be careful from time to time.

Meng Yiye, the second son of the Meng family, and his personal attendants stood beside the horses, muttering quietly while waiting.

"Childe, the little one doesn't understand, it's obviously the eldest son who is marrying, why did the master let you come to greet you?"

Meng Yiye glanced at the attendant and looked displeased: "This trip, it's really hard to say whether it's for my brother or for myself." ”

"For yourself?" The squire was confused.

"This one, maybe it's going to be my sister-in-law, or ...... My wife. ”

The attendant opened his mouth wide in surprise: "What do you mean ......"

"Dong Meng's marriage is a foregone conclusion, but who she marries depends on her father's final decision." As soon as Meng Yiye's words fell, there was a small commotion, and then someone shouted to come, and saw a group of subordinates walking out of the Xi Po who was surrounded by the young lady on her back.

Meng Yiye took two steps forward to look, only to see the big red hijab swaying, and couldn't help pouting, and walked towards the group.

A group of people came to the frame, Xi Po sent the young lady to the car, and was waited by the maid to enter the car, at this time Meng Yiye had already arrived in front of the frame to salute: "The county lord is well, I am Meng Yiye, the second son of Mengfu, this time to welcome my relatives, my father sent me here." From here to Chengdu Mansion, I will accompany the county lord to go. ”

Hua Rou got into the carriage, waited for Yu'er to lower the curtain and pulled her arm before answering: "There is Lao Gongzi." ”

When Meng Yiye straightened up, his personal attendant had already led the horse to him, and Meng Yiye got on the horse directly in front of the frame, parallel to the red carriage, ready to set off.

However, at this time, a horse slowly stepped forward from the back of the send-off procession, and then the horse was forcibly inserted between Meng Yiye and the red carriage in disregard of etiquette.

There was a person sitting immediately, he was dressed in armor, his face was thick, and when he spoke, the urn voice was full of rudeness: "The contemptible person is Wu Wei, the envoy of the Dong Mansion, who is responsible for protecting the county lord, Meng Gongzi has a heart, please follow the etiquette and lead the way!" ”

Meng Yiye stared at Commander Wu up and down unhappily, with an unconcealed look in his eyes, but Commander Wu looked back at him with a straight face, his eyes did not shy away, like an iron pimple, he couldn't comprehend what it was at all.

After being embarrassed, deadlocked, and embarrassed, Meng Yiye, who was embarrassed after all, scolded a fool in his heart, had to clear his throat, beat his horse forward, and then shouted: "Go!" ”

So, the greeting team moved forward.

But Wu Wei didn't make any moves, and after the entire welcoming team finished walking, Commander Wu beckoned: "Let's go." ”

So the family sending team followed closely and marched forward.

In the carriage, Hua Rou, who was listening to the movement, carefully lifted her hijab and looked at Yu'er and asked with her mouth: Your own people?

Yu'er nodded, and also replied with a lip shape: Tang Hu.

Hua Rou nodded clearly and put down her hijab.

……

In the study, Meng Zhixiang paced, stopping from time to time, glancing at the map on the table, frowning.

"Knock knock" Someone knocks lightly on the door.

Meng Zhixiang said impatiently: "Didn't you say don't quarrel with me?" ”

The door was pushed open, and the princess Li walked in with a cloak and a tray, Meng Zhixiang saw that it was her, and was very surprised and stepped forward very quickly to take the tray with one hand, and supported Li with the other: "Why did Madame come over?" ”

"The master was in the study last night, I'm afraid I stayed up all night, the concubine was worried about your body, and specially asked someone to boil ginseng soup, but the master didn't let people disturb him, so the concubine had to send it herself."

Meng Zhixiang smiled gently: "My fault, Mrs. Lao is worried, I don't know if Mrs. slept well last night?" Do you still cough at night? ”

"I'm not the same as before, but you, hurry up and drink the ginseng soup."

Meng Zhixiang didn't say a word, and immediately served the soup and drank it, but he drank it clean in the blink of an eye.

Li Shi smiled lightly and picked up the handkerchief in his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth and beard for him: "The master has made a decision?" ”

Meng Zhixiang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"The old man always said that Mr. Zhao is not a genius, and he can settle down with his strategy, didn't Mr. Zhao give you a plan?"

"What he means is to let Yi Ju marry."

Li nodded knowingly: "Yiju is the eldest son, and this marriage contract is completed by him, which is understandable." In that case, why did the lord hesitate? ”

Meng Zhixiang looked at Li Shi silently, and there was unspeakable entanglement in his eyes.
