"I didn't expect that your taste is quite special, and you will be mysterious and secretive in every meeting, and the two of you are old acquaintances?" That's right, Sima Chang'an's uncle is the concubine of Princess Wen Yao today, and Mu Lingtian is Princess Wen Yao's nephew, so the two are likely to know each other.

Meng Jingwen understood the relationship between the two in her heart, Mu Lingtian could easily enter through the main gate, and the road was unimpeded, just saying that the two knew each other was light, and no one questioned that they were brothers.

Mu Lingtian still looked cold, and did not pay attention to Meng Jingwen's curiosity, but walked towards the viewing lake in the inner courtyard, the four of them sat by the tea table in the pavilion in the center of the lake, after a few words, Meng Jingwen saw that there was a garden in the mansion that did well, and found that Qiang'er liked it, so she asked Qiang'er to go around by herself, ignoring them.

For Qiang'er and Mu Lingtian, Meng Jingwen remembered that Mu Lingtian had not come out of the veil at the flower party, and Qiang'er had never seen him in person, so naturally he didn't know his identity.

Waiting for Qiang'er to walk away, Mu Lingtian looked at Meng Jingwen carefully, and unconsciously recalled her radiant posture at the flower party, and her eyes were different for a while.

"I'm curious about how the rumored Meng Jingwen became a well-known talent overnight, and Miss Meng doesn't plan to share one or two?"

Completely different from Sima Changan, who had been talking endlessly, Mu Lingtian stated simply and calmly, and stared at Meng Jingwen with a pair of deep eyes, which made Meng Jingwen speechless for a while.

"If I say it's a flash of inspiration and a sudden awakening, do you believe it?" After Meng Jingwen finished speaking, she heard Sima Changan laughing, "Then you will also appear now, let us all open our eyes." ”

Meng Jingwen definitely couldn't show it, she looked at the black line on Mu Lingtian's forehead, and didn't say more, and asked directly: "Your mysterious mystery is nothing more than not wanting to attract Meng Jiancheng's attention, then I also know what you want to do."

She remembered the transaction with Mu Lingtian, and also wanted to tell Mu Lingtian some secret things about Meng Jiancheng from time to time, but she couldn't meet in the past few days, so let's talk about it now.

Mu Lingtian didn't let Sima Changan retreat, so Meng Jingwen didn't need to mind Sima Chang'an knowing, "Meng Jiancheng suddenly returned to Beijing from the border to resume his life, which attracted the attention of many people, but after that, he was very low-key, I guess there are some factors, you see." ”

Meng Jingwen took out a letter sheet in her sleeve, and Sima Changan and Mu Lingtian could see at a glance that it was a copy copied with a special technique, but vaguely, they could also see some content from the vigorous and powerful handwriting.

Sima Changan frowned at first, a little worried: "It seems that Hou Ye was suddenly recalled to Beijing for some things."

If she hadn't seen the above content with her own eyes at first, Meng Jingwen wouldn't have known that Meng Jiancheng had always been in contact with some important ministers in the court, and it could be seen that there was a big man who could turn his hands into clouds and rain in the court.

"Who has he seen lately? What's out of the ordinary? Mu Lingtian didn't ask stupid questions that the spies could find, Meng Jingwen knew that he wanted to ask some key points, so he carefully recalled Meng Jiancheng's unusual places in the past few days, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, Meng Jiancheng seemed to be very cautious, and even did normal things very low-key, she naturally couldn't find the slightest mistake in Meng Jiancheng.

Meng Jingwen felt that the discussion in this area was fruitless, so she changed her direction and asked Mu Lingtian: "The people who chased and killed you a few days ago were not successful, is it so reined in?" ”

Mu Lingtian is handsome, surprisingly good, and there are many unknown secrets behind him, no matter how to say that those assassins with ill intentions should not stop here, but Mu Lingtian seems to be used to being assassinated, and he didn't mention the events of that night again, which made Meng Jingwen always curious, and at this time Meng Jingwen couldn't help but ask.

Mu Lingtian's expression was flat, but there was a hint of hesitation, as if he was considering how to respond to Meng Jingwen, and finally just chuckled and said in a low voice; ..... with your father"

It's a pity that Qiang'er came back at this time, and she risked a big disobedience to disturb her, and Meng Jingwen didn't hear Mu Lingtian's words clearly.

Qiang'er knelt on the ground: "Miss, the family sent someone to spread the word, saying that tonight is the birthday of the third lady, and the eldest lady said that she hadn't had a happy event for a long time, so she held a family banquet for the third lady, and asked the sons and ladies of the family to go to Xiyuan to celebrate together." ”

Meng Jingwen tried hard to remember before she remembered Meng Xuanyan's figure, but when she thought of her appearance, she didn't bother to leave to go home. I was already a little disgusted when I heard that the eldest lady held the so-called family banquet, and I didn't want to leave when I thought it was for Meng Xuanyan.

Among Meng Jiancheng's many wives and concubines, in addition to having children with Meng Jingwen's mother and Bai Juan, there are two concubines with two daughters and one man, namely her third sister, fourth sister and fifth brother.

The third sister is Meng Xuanyan, but the third sister is not close to Meng Jingwen, but likes to surround the eldest lady and Meng Lanshuang, even if she is fed up with the eyes, she is unwilling to leave, Meng Jingwen likes Meng Feili, the fourth sister of the same mother as the third sister, Meng Jingwen and Meng Feili have met many times, and the impression of this fourth sister is that she is timid and cowardly, unlike the third sister Meng Xuanyan, who flatters and pleases Bai Juan's mother and daughter, and hopes that one day the eldest lady can arrange a good marriage for her, and since then she has lived a life of fine clothes and food.

"That's all for today, go back, remember what I should do, and you can come here to meet at your leisure, and others won't be too suspicious."

Mu Lingtian whispered a few words, ignoring whether Meng Jingwen heard or not, turned around and disappeared into the garden, Sima Changan also made a symbolic send-off gift, Meng Jingwen thought to herself that you have a tacit understanding, singing and harmonizing seamlessly.

Meng Jingwen and Qiang Er walked out of Sima Chang'an's mansion, got into the carriage and went to the direction of the Hou Mansion, in the carriage, Qiang Er obviously looked worried: "Miss, in the past, the eldest lady and the second lady held a lot of banquets when the Hou Ye went out, but none of them invited the young lady to go, although this time it was said that it was for the third young lady to celebrate, but the young lady also knew, the third young lady and the second young lady did not want to see you, young lady...."

Meng Jingwen didn't wait for Qiang'er to finish her thoughts, so she stroked her little head: "Fool, I know very well in my heart, it's just that in the past, Hou Ye was not at home, and it was normal for the mother and daughter to ignore me. Don't worry, I'll be extra careful. ”

Who knows what kind of ghost the mother and daughter have in their hearts, but she Meng Jingwen is no longer the incompetent and willful Meng Jingwen a few months ago, she still has some countermeasures for this mother and daughter, the worst is to be persecuted again, and then the master sent by Mu Lingtian secretly will protect her.

The two soon returned to the Hou Mansion, and as soon as they got out of the carriage, Meng Jingwen felt that the gate of the Hou Mansion in front of her was already full of lights, although it was not brilliant and lively, but it was also a festive scene.

She, the stepmother, put a lot of thought into it, and for a while, Meng Jingwen became more and more curious about what medicine was being sold in Baijuan's gourd.

Meng Jingwen and Qiang Er followed the servants from Dongyuan to Dongyuan, the Hou Mansion is very large, and to go to Dongyuan, you have to pass through Tingxiang Jiuxie and Lanfang Pavilion, Mengli Lake, along the way Meng Jingwen found that the night scenes of these places are very different from the past, and they are so beautiful after careful decoration that they are beyond words.

Could it be that Bai Juan was pleased by Meng Xuanyan, and the sun came out of the west to organize a birthday banquet for Meng Xuanyan?

"Miss, I heard that not long after the completion of Tingxiang Jiuxue, Hou Ye invited the most famous garden master in the capital to carefully renovate, and it will be two months before you can really move into it, but this time Hou Ye wants to give these fun and beautiful things to the second lady."

Qiang Er muttered, obviously fighting for Meng Jingwen, Meng Jingwen also talked about the depths of her heart, and couldn't help but glance at the Tingxiang Nine Pavilions that she was about to pass by.

It's just that Meng Jingwen opened her eyes in an instant, looked at Tingxiang Jiuxie with burning eyes, and whispered to herself: "One day, I will ask for everything that belongs to me back!" ”

They finally came to the East Garden, there is also a lake in the East Garden, there is a pavilion called the Red Pavilion next to the lake, at that time they can already see a few sisters and brothers and some domestic servants often laughing and giggling in the two rows of banquets next to the lake, the banquet is seated, the eldest lady holds her hands and watches the people below laughing and playing.

Meng Jingwen took Qiang'er over to salute, and Qiang'er opened a red cube in her hand, revealing a popular hairpin in Beijing that looked to be polished with jade, which Meng Jingwen bought at the stall when she came out of Sima Chang'an's house, and the vendor knew Meng Jingwen's identity from Meng Jingwen's carriage, and he didn't dare to sell the hairpin with fake materials to Meng Jingwen when he was killed, boss, I want this, wrap it up. ”

At first, the vendor thought that Meng Jingwen was joking, and refused to clean it up after being killed, but when Meng Jingwen pretended to be angry later, the vendor wrapped the fake jade hairpin with a large shadow area in his heart, and made a very atmospheric square red nine-tailed fox gift box to pack the hosta.

"I can hold a banquet tonight, Xuan Yan wants to thank the eldest lady for her favor, Sister Jingwen Zhang gave a gift, she shouldn't have accepted it, but when she thought that the eldest lady would undertake it tonight, if she didn't accept it, it would displease the eldest lady, so Xuan Yan accepted her sister's heart."

Meng Jingwen walked behind a woman who looked a little younger than her, Meng Xuanyan was wearing a red moire dress, which was as conspicuous as her face with heavy makeup, but no matter how you looked at it, as long as the black mole between her mouth was there, a little bit of beauty that had been carefully created would also disappear in an instant.

Meng Xuanyan saw that the eldest lady was obviously a little unhappy when she saw Meng Jingwen, and at first she thought that she would not easily accept Meng Jingwen's gift no matter what, but as soon as she saw that it was a valuable hosta, she could no longer restrain herself, and on the premise of trying to avoid the disgust of the eldest lady, she went to accept Meng Jingwen's gift.

This remark really made the eldest lady lose her temper, and immediately did not secretly blame Meng Xuanyan, watching Meng Xuanyan holding the hosta and jumping with joy.

The eldest lady smiled secretly in her heart: "It's okay, as long as you like power and profit, everything is easy to control." ”
