Chapter 221: Thoughts
It was cold and windy outside, but inside the house was a warm place, and the stove was burning so hard that people wanted to sweat.
An old man with crane hair was reclining on a warm couch with his eyes closed, covered with a thick blanket.
Hearing the movement, he lifted his eyelids and coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice, "The second child is back?" ”
Mei Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support Mei Qu, who was sitting up with her arms propped up, and took a soft pillow to cushion his back: "Grandpa's body is not good, why don't you ......rest earlier?"
Mei Qu sighed: "If you don't come back, how can I make up my mind?" How is it? Do you see the princess Yong'an? ”
Mei Qing nodded: "Princess Yong'an is not very old, but her demeanor is calm and her words are meticulous, and she really doesn't look like she has a vain name." ”
"Did she say anything during the feast?" Mei Qu asked.
"I just exchanged a few words with my son and asked about your body." Mei Qing frowned slightly, "According to the information we received, Princess Yong'an's trip is aimed at the Mei family. She is so unhurried on the surface, and she doesn't know what to plan secretly......"
A cold light flashed in Mei Qu's eyes: "It's time for this...... No matter what her plans are, as long as the person is gone, even if all calculations are in vain. ”
He looked at Mei Qing and asked, "Can you do what you were asked to do?" ”
"It's done. My son has already told us that the people of our Mei clan are more cautious these days and live in seclusion, so as not to make Princess Yongan find any reason. ”
Mei Qing's eyebrows frowned, and the worry lingered in her heart: "But Grandpa, you should know that Princess Yong'an is not such an easy person to deal with." ”
"She has offended a lot of people along the way, and she has encountered fewer killings? Isn't it all in vain? ”
Mei Qu's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly showed a little dissatisfaction: "Second brother, you don't want to have the ambition of others to destroy your own prestige. No matter how capable Xiao Lingjiang is, she is also a mortal in the flesh, as long as she is a person, there is always a way to destroy her. ”
"My Mei clan has been rooted in Chizhou for hundreds of years, and it is intertwined. Now that she dares to come to our land, she will not return! ”
Mei Qing hurriedly surrendered his hand.
He secretly looked at Mei Qu's expression, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and finally asked: "Grandpa, Princess Yong'an's trip is aimed at the Mei family, this news ...... Where did you get it from? ”
He knew that Grandpa had a secret connection with the Divine Palace, but he never asked him to intervene, and only asked him to deal with Mei's affairs on the surface.
The connections and forces in the shadows, it is self-evident who he wants to leave to.
He has always secretly hated this, and it seems that Grandpa is quite important to him, and he, Mei Erlang, seems to have a lot of money in his hands.
But he knew that the most important thing of the Mei clan had never reached him.
For example, the relationship between this shrine......
Like Grandpa, he has the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty on his body, and this divine palace is rushing to subvert the Great Zhou.
In this way, what position Mei's is in it and what benefits it can get in the future makes people think about it.
If it is really a fight for the highest place......
The real ruler will get more than just a Mei clan.
Who can't help but be impressed?
Mei Qu glanced at him, as if she had seen through his thoughts, but she didn't expose it: "It's from the Divine Palace...... The relationship between our Mei family and the Divine Palace is unknown to others in the family, but you have been following Grandpa to do things, but Grandpa will not hide it from you. ”
"Second child, since you were born in the Mei family, you are destined to be on this big boat. The so-called one is prosperous, and one is lost. Mei's plot is done, and you can naturally benefit from it. But if the big ship is destroyed, we can only follow the funeral, which is not much better. ”
"The imperial court is pressing on the Divine Palace step by step, and now it is going to find out about our Mei family. If they really get any evidence, our Mei clan will be finished. ”
He patted Mei Qing's shoulder and said earnestly, "You, just do what I tell you first." ”
Mei Qing naturally knew the priorities of the matter.
But now, Jiulang's kid has not appeared for a long time, but the old man is still holding the news and power in his hand tightly, refusing to hand over some to him, just relying on a few words, fooling him into working hard and obediently.
It's really a good calculation!
Mei Qing was dissatisfied in her heart, but her face remained silent: "Yes, Grandpa." The son got it. ”
As for the things that should be his...... He certainly wouldn't just give it away.
Mei Qing listened to Mei Qu's instructions a few more words, and then retired and returned to his yard.
Mei Qu stood by the window with his hands in his hands, watching his figure fade away in the light and darkness of the night, and sighed in his heart.
This second child, there are some means of doing things, but he thinks too much, and he can't be responsible for it in his heart.
Fortunately, Jiurou is coming back this time......
He looked up at the dark night, and thought of the messenger, and his heart was indescribably complicated.
Although he had known about this for a while, Cen Niang had transformed into Princess Yongmu of Da Zhou, which really surprised him.
You must know that she was just an adulterous child of the Mei family before, with a humble background, which is despicable, and there are very few people in the entire Mei family who know about her existence.
At the beginning, the boss and a married woman left a bad account outside.
The woman was very good-looking, but her husband was useless at home, and she accidentally looked at the boss, and was teased by this handsome and inviting gentleman of the family, and the two hooked up like this.
After a long time, the woman gave birth to a daughter.
The eldest was so happy that he had to say that this was his own child, and begged him to take their mother and daughter into the house.
But Mo said that this child's origin is unknown, even if she is really the boss, she will never enter the Mei family.
The hundred-year-old family has always paid attention to a clean reputation and reputation, how can this kind of thing be made to make outsiders know and laugh?
After listening to the boss's words, he immediately hid the rumors and sent the family of three away resolutely.
Although the boss was unwilling, he couldn't resist his father's order, so he had to rest and continue to live after the search failed.
A joke was pressed down so lightly.
Later, the eldest son was born, and he was even more heartfelt.
It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, and the boss suddenly suffered an accident, leaving a newborn sister-in-law who was frail and sickly, looking like he was going to die at any time, and I don't know how many times he almost couldn't save it.
This is his eldest grandson!
And the boss's biological mother, Zhou, also has the blood of the previous dynasty, so that the royal blood of the former dynasty on the Mei family's lineage can be said to be pure.
Now that there is no son-in-law, this eldest grandson must not die like this again!
