According to some information given by Mu Lingtian, Meng Jingwen generally knew Shangguan Yan, a person she had never met. Shangguan Yan and Meng Jiancheng enlisted in the army together in the early years, and at the same time the two were like-minded, so they cooperated very well on the border battlefield, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

If the relationship between the two does not have much gap, it can be excluded from the candidates who are looking for trouble with Meng Jiancheng, why is it still listed by Mu Ling Tianluo?

"Did I forget something....... That's right, ignoring the two years when Shangguan Yan was hidden and silent! Meng Jingwen had a flash of inspiration, immediately got up from the bed, got out of bed, put on a piece of clothing, came to the bookcase, picked up a file, and carefully looked at the things recorded on it.

This was when Meng Jingwen was about to leave in the carriage, Mu Lingtian asked people to send it over, there are a total of five volumes, corresponding to the life and past of the five court ministers including Meng Jiancheng, Meng Jingwen was a little surprised at that time, and redefined Mu Lingtian - a fourth prince who knows how to forbear on the surface of the city.

After Meng Jingwen read General Pingche's file from head to toe, she was surprised to find that not long after the disappearance of the food and salary case that shocked the government and the opposition ten years ago came to an end, Shangguan Yan retreated to the frontier due to illness and returned to the capital to live an obscure idle life for two years. At the same time, Meng Jingwen also found that during this period, Shangguan Yan did live an idle life without hearing anything outside the window, and cut off contact with most people, including Meng Jiancheng, who had always been in contact, and did not come back until two years later.

Could it be that this grain and salary corruption case is related to Shangguan Yan and Meng Jiancheng? And it also caused Meng Jiancheng and Shangguan Yan, the two former brothers, to have contradictions, so that there was a late-night assassination dozens of days ago?

"Who's out there?"

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden movement outside the door, and with a squeak, the door was pushed open, Meng Jingwen was afraid, could it be that the man in black had a grudge and came to assassinate again, but fortunately, he could see Qiang'er's face clearly through the light of the lantern.

Qiang'er came over with a lantern and asked Meng Jingwen why she hadn't fallen asleep yet, Meng Jingwen found a reason to get up and drink water when she was thirsty, and then didn't wait for Qiang'er to ask again, Meng Jingwen asked Qiang'er first: "Qiang'er still remembers Shangguan Yan, the general of Pingche, who came and went with her father?" ”

"Well, when Miss was eight years old, she and Hou Ye went to the Shangguan General's Mansion, and there was a dispute with Miss Shangguan at that time, Hou Ye stopped Miss, and then she was taken back to the Hou Mansion. It's fierce. ”

Qiang'er's words seemed to evoke the past imprinted in Meng Jingwen's mind, Meng Jingwen clearly remembered Shangguan Yuyu's arrogant and domineering appearance at that time, Meng Jingwen was also arrogant and willful at that time, the two masters who looked at each other unpleasantly were on the verge of breaking out, Meng Lanshuang knew to stand aside at a young age, and seemed to dissuade but actually fanned the flames to help Shangguan Yuyu belittle Meng Jingwen, and Meng Jingwen immediately ...... In the end, Meng Jiancheng proposed the General's Mansion, and he has never been there since.

Meng Jingwen patted her forehead and sighed: "How could Meng Jingwen be so stupid and provoked by others. ”

Qiang'er thought that Meng Jingwen blamed herself for being embarrassed, and immediately comforted Meng Jingwen: "Don't blame Miss, if it's Qiang'er, I can't stand this anger, Miss, don't blame yourself, tomorrow Miss doesn't want to follow Hou Ye to the General's Mansion to participate in the treasure appraisal meeting, just tell Hou Ye, Hou Ye will understand Miss." ”

Well? Can I go to the General's Mansion tomorrow?! As long as you enter the General's Mansion, there may be an unexpected gain.

Meng Jingwen withdrew her ashamed face, and gradually smiled, which made Qiang'er panic for a while: "Go, what is the reason not to go?" ”

The next morning, the capital was enveloped in the white mist of autumn and summer, and it looked as if the whole capital had been stuffed into marshmallows.

Meng Jingwen and Qiang'er packed up early and came to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and entered the banquet to wait for Meng Jiancheng to speak and eat, but today Meng Jiancheng didn't care much about the number of etiquette as if there was any happy event, so he asked Meng Jingwen's children to come forward halfway.

Meng Jiancheng sat on the main seat of the two rows of banquets at this time, and sat in a precarious position to show his majestic nature, and his deep voice spread: "It was not my intention to come to this ordinary morning banquet, but I was recently invited by your uncle Shangguan to appreciate the antiques he has collected over the years three days, so I thought of coming over and bringing Lan Shuang or Jingwen over to open my eyes." ”

Meng Jingwen sneered in her heart, it was nothing more than a private meeting in the name of appreciation, or not, so that Meng Jingwen could search the General's Mansion and explore Shangguan Yan's reality.

Meng Jingwen didn't have time to speak, Meng Lanshuang on the side walked up from behind her, bumped into Meng Jingwen slightly, smiled at Meng Jiancheng and said hello: "Father knows that the relationship between his daughter and Lu Yu has been good since she was a child, and her daughter also wants to go to Uncle Guan and Lu Yu a little, and her daughter has recently begun to study ancient artifacts, and she should have more knowledge than the eldest sister, so she will not cause trouble to her father." ”

People who are a little scheming can understand that this is a competition with Meng Jingwen, and the eldest lady sitting on the upper seat looked at Meng Lanshuang and seemed to nod her head in appreciation.

Meng Jiancheng felt interesting and said with a smile: "Lan Shuang has a heart, but a few days ago, the assassin sneaked into the mansion, and Jing Wen desperately blocked in front of Scarlet Glass and Xuan Yan, which is worthy of reward, and the two of you will go to the General's Mansion with me for a banquet." ”

Meng Jiancheng's eyes fell on Meng Jingwen, remembering that Jingwen's talent was spread after the flower party, and then thinking of Sima Chang'an's visit, he made up his mind to take Meng Jingwen to more big occasions, and maybe he could meet some friends who could help each other.

Meng Jingwen and Meng Lanshuang, as well as the eldest lady in the upper seat, did not expect Meng Jiancheng to make such a decision in the end, so that when Meng Jingwen reacted, Meng Jiancheng had already stepped down from the upper seat, was surrounded by a crowd of people, and walked away from her like a gust of wind.

Many people's eyes fell on Meng Jingwen, and they felt that Meng Jingwen, who was usually not treated well, was paid a little attention for a while, and they felt awkward.

Among them, the most unfriendly is the eldest lady Meng Lan's mother and daughter, who can't wait to step forward and frame Meng Jingwen.

"This kind of treasure appraisal will be quite high in the upper class of nobles, and many of the disciples of the gate valve want to get a qualification to enter the treasure appraisal meeting, so as to get to know more nobles, and the future will be bright."

Qiang'er and Meng Jingwen returned to their residence, Meng Jingwen explained to Qiang'er, who didn't know why, and Qiang'er was startled: "That young lady is not safe, and she can't throw a hot potato with her hands." ”

"That mother and daughter don't have the courage under the nose of Master Hou." Meng Jiancheng is bent on arranging the overall situation, how can he tolerate internal changes.

Talking about the children of the gate valve, Meng Jingwen thought of Mu Lingtian, an idler with a large status and status, and should receive an invitation letter, and they should meet together at that time to discuss the next move in General Shangguan Yan's mansion.

"Hey, why are you blushing, Miss?" Qiang'er scratched her head and looked at Meng Jingwen.

When Meng Jingwen first thought of Mu Lingtian, in addition to thinking of the transaction between them, more of a girl's careful thought, so that her face turned slightly red later.

Being stirred up by Qiang'er like this, Meng Jingwen returned to reality from her thoughts, and at the same time smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing, I just feel that the air is a little stuffy." With that, he hurried away, leaving Qiang'er, who was still unknown, behind.

Three days passed in a hurry, Qiang Er combed Meng Jingwen into a flowing cloud bun, with some simple hair accessories, and finally wore a Meng Jingwen's favorite cyan hairpin, and a dark green bandeau dress, simple and beautiful, even Qiang Er was joking that if she was a man, she would be fascinated by Meng Jingwen.

Meng Jingwen pretended to be angry and wanted to hit Qiang'er, who was flamboyant, but Qiang'er saw through Meng Jingwen and didn't dodge, and finally Meng Jingwen had no choice but to leave, Qiang'er followed behind with a smile, and the light of the morning sun passed through the branches and vines above the promenade and sprinkled on the two of them, which must be a good-looking landscape painting.

Meng Jiancheng has been low-key recently, but after all, he is still a marquis, and the pomp and circumstance of going out will not be small, a long queue composed of dozens of prosperous carriages broke into the street crowd, Meng Jingwen and Qiang Er were in the second carriage, following behind Meng Jiancheng's first carriage.

When I peeked out of the window, I saw that although the capital was extremely spacious, the streets were still bustling with people, and the streets on both sides were full of goods.

"Miss, is that Sima Gongzi's carriage?" Qiang Er also poked her head out to look outside, and accidentally saw the other side of the street, a carriage with the unique family crest of the Sima family on the roof was also moving in the direction they were heading, and it seemed that it was also going to the Shangguan Yan Mansion for a banquet.

Sima Chang'an, the prodigal son of the prodigal son, could also be invited, and Meng Jingwen was a little speechless for a while.

In the end, I don't know if Sima Changan did it on purpose, and he arrived at the gate of General Shangguan Yan's Mansion with their carriage, Sima Changan took the initiative to get out of the way of the street and let the carriages of the Hou Mansion stop, watched An Yang Hou and Meng Jingwen and Meng Lan get off the car, and then got off the car and stepped forward to salute An Yang Hou.

"Chang'an should have thought that an elegant person like Hou Ye would naturally come to appreciate playthings, but he never thought that the two young ladies would also come, which is a blessing for us juniors." Sima Chang'an's afterglow fell on Meng Jingwen, and Meng Jingwen didn't bother to look away.

Meng Jiancheng and Sima Changan chatted with other big people who came to the banquet after a few simple greetings, and Meng Jingwen and Meng Lanshuang also followed behind Meng Jiancheng and saw various royal nobles.

"I didn't expect that the four princes who are usually idle would also come to this banquet, it's really rare, rare."

"I heard that the fourth prince is also a fan of antiques, and this time he came to come for the green jade flute of General Shangguan."

......

Meng Jingwen overheard others talking, looked for the voice, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure, and immediately had a smile on her face.
