Chapter 144: Goodbye Meng Guan
At that time, it was still a small dilapidated house, and they lived in the temple next door, and the noodles tasted good and were not expensive.
She only has three taels of silver left in her net worth, and she hasn't found a job yet, so she doesn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, so she comes here every night to buy a bowl of somen noodles for five yuan for Yan Xiu and Yanran, and they eat it, she is watching from the side, and when they finish eating, she drinks two mouthfuls of soup.
Miao Erniang later found out that she didn't come back to them, so she changed a big bowl for the three of them and filled it with a bowl full of noodles.
Soon, Yan Zhuo entered a jade shop, and later met the master, and his life gradually settled down, moved away from the broken temple, and no longer came to eat noodles every night.
Later, when she had spare money, she helped Miao Erniang renovate the shop, and gave her a recipe for brewing osmanthus wine, which was regarded as a reward.
But rarely come to eat noodles again, only every autumn osmanthus blooms, come here to hold a jar of osmanthus wine back.
The long-lost button noodles are sent, and the steaming thin noodles are covered with a thick layer of red and bright button meat, and the aroma is fragrant.
Tianguo'er and Yun'er were addicted, and the three of them touched the wine cup and ate it.
The yellow croaker is crisp and tender, the drunken crab is delicious, the lotus root is crisp and sweet, the osmanthus wine is sweet and fragrant, the three of them have eaten and drunk enough to have a good time through this Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are satisfied and go out.
The three of them rented a carriage, Tian Guo'er got into the car first with the wine jar, Yan Zhuo helped Yun'er's arm and was about to go up, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Brother! Hurry up, hurry up! The dinner party is about to begin! ”
Meng Yanran!
Yan Zhuo turned back in a daze, just as a figure walking towards the door hurriedly passed by and hit her shoulder, Yan Zhuo immediately stepped back like an electric shock, and crashed straight into the door panel of the carriage.
"I'm sorry!" The voice of the person who bumped into him was gentle and polite, "This little lady, are you okay?" ”
Yan Zhuo's breathing was all frozen in his chest, Meng Guan!
She didn't expect to see him so soon, and subconsciously tightened the frame of the car.
She stiffened for a few breaths before she returned to normal, realized that she was no longer talking, and relaxed.
She raised her head slightly, smiling calmly, "I'm fine." ”
It was Meng Guan's turn to be stunned, surprise flashed in his eyes, and Meng Yanran was in a hurry in front of him, dragging him and hurriedly running inside.
He nodded and smiled as he left.
Yan Zhuo looked at the backs of him and Meng Yanran, and his eyes turned cold.
Yan Zhuo got into the car, and Tianguo'er sighed curiously: "That person just now is so good-looking!" ”
Yun'er pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't think it's as good-looking as Erlang and Brother Yu." ”
Tianguo'er was happy, "Jinling City is really a good place!" There are many delicious foods, and there are many good-looking people! ”
Yan Zhuo turned his head, and vaguely heard Meng Yanran's exclamation from the store, "Someone took it away?" ”
Meng Yanran was still thinking about the osmanthus wine, a chill flashed in her eyes, thinking of the month when she was trapped by the side of the meat, Meng Yanran happily followed Meng Guan into the mansion and lived a new life.
Even if she raised her for eight or nine years, she still didn't ask Meng Guan for her after all, how could her sister-in-law fall asleep?
Yan Zhuo urged the coachman, "Go." ”
The carriage departed.
Miao Erniang explained in the store that a friend of the jade lady came to the store just now, and she asked her to take it away, and she just went out.
Meng Guan immediately thought of the carriage outside the door, and when he looked back, there was no trace of the carriage.
Meng Yanran's eyes widened, "What friend?" How did I not know that my sister-in-law had a friend who knew about this place? ”
Meng Guan frowned and asked Miao Erniang, "Is it a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little lady with her hair combed in a slanted bun, tied with ribbons, almond eyes and goose egg face, and she is very handsome?" ”
Miao Erniang nodded.
Meng Guan and Meng Yanran returned to the street, and there was no shadow of a carriage in the streets.
Meng Yanran pursed her lips, "The proprietress leaves the best altar for her sister-in-law every year, but she was deceived by a thief!" ”
Meng Guan was thoughtful and said lightly: "Maybe it's really her friend." ”
The two got into the carriage and drove to Miyagi with confidence.
Meng Yanran took out a small bronze mirror to look at her makeup.
Meng looked out the window.
Recently, some small things with clues seem really weird when they are put together.
It's just because of these things that he has more or less to do with Yan Zhuo.
First of all, Sun Jianren's Miaoyin flute was deceived, and two people who claimed to be from the Jinling Meng family appeared, surnamed Jinling Meng, and people would naturally associate him with him.
And the two men were nowhere to be found.
Then Haicheng Baofeng shop appeared with a handwritten withdrawal slip, and two gangsters who were miscellaneous in the county government took her handwritten letter and took away a thousand taels of silver.
Appeared inexplicably, disappeared inexplicably, and disappeared without a trace.
The slip was delivered to him, and it was indeed written by her, and there could be no imitation pen!
Maybe it was someone she left before.
That's all he can think.
Then Haicheng Baofeng was dismissed inexplicably, and then there was a fire, and Gao Huai was buried in the fire, leaving only half of the bloody last words.
Who can make all the people of Baofeng dissolve overnight?
Who can make the shopkeeper of Haicheng Baofeng open the treasury and lure Gao Huai in before setting it on fire?
In addition to the real words, who else has such a ability?
When Meng Guan thought about it, he shuddered.
Haicheng, it seems that the soul of a jade lady has appeared.
But Yu Niang, she obviously ......
Meng Guan thought of the words in the house, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The feast in the palace has been prepared, and it is only waiting for the auspicious time for the little emperor and the queen mother to attend the feast.
Meng Guan took Meng Yanran into the park and sat down, and immediately surrounded a group of people to greet him.
This Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet is grand and unrestrained, and there are many Hu people in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the rough and heroic atmosphere of the northerners is also followed a lot, which is not as good as the Jiangnan feast.
In the garden, there are two rows of desks and futons, lanterns are full of branches and corridors, and officials and their families are looking for a place to sit, or toasting and clinking lamps, or standing and whispering to each other, each seeking their own pleasure.
The little ladies are all dressed up in flowers, talking and laughing and playing, and the audience is full of gold and jade beads.
On one of the high platforms, dancers in thin shirts danced with music, and the palace ladies in the audience were also dressed coolly, with bare chests and arms, holding melons, fruits, wine and tea through the desk.
A group of elegant and comfortable singing and dancing.
The moon has risen to half a day, and the two white-faced little fathers-in-law went to the front of the high platform corridor to sing two sentences, and everyone quieted down, got up and stood respectfully, waiting for the little emperor and today's guests to attend.
Meng Yanran's position was behind Meng Guan and his wife, and she was also the first to enter the palace to participate in this kind of banquet, and she couldn't help but look down the corridor.
The little emperor was very thin, his skin was very white, and his whole person was caged in a wide dragon robe, looking small, not like a fourteen-year-old, only like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
As soon as the woman next to him appeared, she completely suppressed him, and even ignored him as an emperor.
The woman held his hand, with white skin and red lips, bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful, stunning appearance, with a phoenix crown and pearl emerald, looking dignified and charming.
I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so young!
