Chapter 199: Mrs. Wei?
Meng Changqing was about to retreat and leave, but noticed that in the crowd, a lady had been watching her, as if she wanted to come forward to talk to her, but she was a little hesitant.
Meng Changqing was sure that he didn't know this person, but when he saw the little girl next to her, he counted her age, and then thought of Wei Fangyun's words at the beginning, 'The Xiao family posted to the mansion one after another. ’
Could this be ...... "Mrs. Wei?" Meng Changqing shouted tentatively.
Mrs. took her daughter through the front barrier, came to Meng Changqing, and said happily: "Master Meng, I often hear my husband mention you in his letter. ”
Meng Changqing saw her embarrassment here, and immediately answered: "Changqing is in Liangzhou thanks to the care of Lord Tai of Futai, this time I have something to entrust to my wife when I go back to Beijing, I happen to meet you here, if it is convenient for Madame, please come with me to Meng Mansion now." ”
Lady Wei spoke, "Isn't it rude to ask Lord Meng for this?" How can anyone come to the door at night? Besides, I still have something to say with Mrs. Wei, so it's better for Master Meng to invite Mrs. Wei another day. ”
Meng Changqing saluted and said: "Please forgive Lady Wei and Mrs. Wei, the lower official will leave the capital tomorrow, and he really can't wait for another day." ”
Mrs. Wei's expression was eager, and she turned to Female Officer Wei and said, "Your Excellency, forgive me for being rude, I have to go to Meng's Mansion." ”
Lady Wei nodded slowly, "Mrs. Wei, I haven't been able to talk to you a few words in this meeting, and if you have a chance in the future, please come." ”
Mrs. Wei answered vaguely twice, and hurriedly left the crowd with her daughter and Meng Changqing, so eager that she didn't even care about the carriage.
It was Meng Changqing who went over to say hello and asked the guys from Changchun Garden to move the Wei family's carriage to the side of the road.
Meng Changqing invited Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei into her carriage, while she and Bafang stood outside the carriage.
After Mrs. Wei settled her daughter, she got out of the carriage and thanked Meng Changqing, and asked about Wei Fangyun's situation in Liangzhou.
"Uncle Wei was reprimanded by the officials by me, and Changqing felt very guilty." Meng Changqing adjusted his standing position to shield Mrs. Wei from the night breeze, "Originally, I should have come to Beijing to make amends, but Changqing was involved a lot, for fear of causing you trouble, I'm really sorry." ”
"My husband once said in a letter that everything he does is what he wants, and I respect him and believe in him." Mrs. Wei asked Meng Changqing again what Wei Fangyun asked him to bring back.
"Please forgive me, Madame, what Changqing said just now was a lie."
Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not a secret, my husband has been the prefect of Liangzhou for many years, and except for letters, nothing has ever been sent back from Liangzhou, he always said that Liangzhou is poor and there is nothing worth sending."
I was taken aback by what you said just now, for fear that I would not be able to understand immediately if he had any instructions. ”
Meng Changqing opened his mouth, and was about to apologize, when he saw Mrs. Wei waving her hand, "I know the intention of your words, if you didn't bring me out, I don't know how long I would have been uncomfortable in that place." ”
"You rest for a while, and when the front is gone, I'll send you home."
"Hey."
Mrs. Wei was helped up to the carriage by Meng Changqing, but she stopped again before entering the carriage, "Master Meng, I don't know if I need to say something." ”
Meng Changqing asked with his eyes.
"My family is not related to the female official just now."
Meng Changqing said in his heart, this is also a smart person, obviously this is what she wanted to say to Meng Changqing just now, and the reason why Meng Changqing recognized her and brought her out was also to figure this out, Mrs. Wei doesn't say it now, Meng Changqing will ask later.
"Xiaguan is clear." Meng Changqing replied.
With these words, there was a movement of the carriage blocking in front.
The carriage in front of it slowly moved forward, and Meng Changqing's convoy also slowly followed behind.
Every carriage in front of them walked in the middle of the road, and Meng Changqing and they had no room to overtake at all.
"What do you mean?" Bafang stared at the convoy in front of him, and his tone was very dissatisfied, "I know that we are following behind, why don't we have the slightest intention of giving way?" This thing is too overbearing! ”
Chu Mufeng glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Meng Changqing asked him to look at the carriage in front of him.
"Look, what's wrong?" Bafang didn't understand the point.
"Isn't it better than our carriage?" Meng Changqing continued to mention him.
"Inlaid with gold and jade, it is naturally better than our carriage."
"What does that mean?" Meng Changqing asked rhetorically.
"It means that they are richer than our family."
"Not only are they richer, but they are also more powerful than our family, so how can our cars surpass them?" Meng Changqing said, "Anyway, I've already entered the city, so slow down." ”
Through the small curtain, Meng Changqing heard Mrs. Wei's voice, "What Lord Meng said is true, most of the people in Changchun Garden today are the families of high-ranking officials in Beijing, and with the official position of my husband, I couldn't even enter the door." ”
"Madame is affected by me."
"How can it be said that it is a burden?" Mrs. Wei didn't know what to think, and sighed: "It can be regarded as an eye-opener for me."
Master Meng, you are about the same age as my family, although today is the first time I have seen you, but I don't feel unfamiliar from the bottom of my heart, I will let go of some words, if there is something wrong, you have the right to be the wind of the ear, don't worry about me, a woman who has no knowledge. ”
"I don't feel unfamiliar when I see my wife, it seems that it should be a relative, even if there is no blood relationship, Changqing wants to recognize this godfather.
My uncle has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Good, good." Mrs. Wei responded to these two sounds, with a smile in her voice, but then she said with a straight face: "After you go to Liangzhou, my family always receives posts about various banquets, even if I am short-sighted, I can see that such a banquet, where can my family go?"
There must be a demon when things go wrong, I have shirked many times, and I have never been to an appointment before today. Mrs. Wei especially emphasized the word 'never', and then said: "The reason why I came here today is only because I heard that you will also come." ”
"Someone did give me a post, but I didn't go." Meng Changqing explained that he was too busy to find time.
Miss Wei said emotionally from the carriage, "It's a good thing you didn't go." ”
Meng Changqing asked: "Is my little sister not having fun in Changchun Garden?" ”
Miss Wei realized that she had lost her words, so she stopped talking, but carefully looked at Mrs. Wei's face.
In the carriage, Mrs. Wei took Meng Changqing's words, "Our family is not very sociable, and when we go to such a place, we only feel uncomfortable."
Originally, I couldn't find you in the garden, so I wanted to take her away first, but I couldn't find a suitable excuse. ”
"It is said that officialdom communication is mostly the work of the ladies, but for the current uncle, this kind of communication is not enough." Meng Changqing said, "What Lady Wei said today, she will definitely be invited again in the future, and my nephew can't figure out what Lady Guard is trying to do."
But one thing is certain, no matter what she has in mind for your family, she won't be able to do anything if she doesn't give her a chance to get closer. ”
