While a few people were talking, Zhang Mengke's personal maid Bai Xue came in and said:

"Madame, Miss, Second Miss, Third Sister are here, saying goodbye to Miss. ”

Jiu Ge was puzzled, and there was another person who was grounded by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, but he was afraid that he was looking for trouble.

"Come in, please, serve tea in the antechamber, I'll be there later." Zhang Mengke and Meng Shi glanced at each other, hesitated slightly, and said.

Bai Xue took the order and went out.

Zhang Mengke regained everyone's demeanor and asked Meng, "What does mother think the third sister is here?"

Meng pondered, "I'm afraid it's not a good thing, and I don't know what she has to do with the son of the Yang family, and now that the fifth aunt is gone, I'm afraid that she will die." ”

"What's the matter, how could the third sister be involved with the Yang family's brother-in-law?" Jiu Ge pretended not to know and asked. In fact, he is also weak-hearted, he knows all about it, but he forgot to tell these two people, the matter is far less serious, but listening to Meng Shi say this, I am afraid that I also know something.

Meng smiled and replied: "It's not a big deal, your third sister is still young, and she is just a child's heart, it's nothing, I think she can say goodbye to your sister now, probably because she wants to open, let's go out and have a look, it's not good to ask people to wait." "Since the fifth aunt died under the prime minister's knife, all kinds of grievances in the past seem to have passed with the fifth aunt.

Seeing her say this, Jiu Ge didn't ask anymore, anyway, she had the identity of the lady of the main room, and she was not a dead-eyed mother-in-law, both sides were harmless, and it was not her turn to worry about it.

Zhang Mengke heard her mother say this, and she no longer had any conjectures, she was originally a concubine, and now she has lost her father's favor, so naturally she can't get in the way of herself.

Zhang Mengfan waited in the front hall for a while and didn't see anyone coming, a little angry, but helpless.

Now that I have no aunt and my father doesn't like it, it's the best policy to endure it, so I have to sit back and sit down.

After drinking a whole cup of tea, Zhang Mengke came from the back room, but he was still followed by Meng and Zhang Menggui, Zhang Mengfan secretly gritted his teeth, this maid began to perfunctory herself, she didn't know that Meng and Zhang Menggui also came to Baige Courtyard.

Meng Shi didn't speak when he saw Zhang Mengfan, and went straight to the upper seat and sat down. Jiu Ge and Zhang Mengke saw each other, and also found a seat and sat down.

Zhang Mengke didn't greet the third lady first, but said to the maid: "Bai Xue, show tea to my mother and second sister." ”

It was over, and he stopped for a while before talking to Zhang Mengfan.

"The third sister has been grounded for many days, why did she come out today?"

Zhang Mengfan was embarrassed, his face turned red by half, and tears began to roll, but he still tried to stabilize his tone and returned: "My sister is going to get married tomorrow, my sister will come and take a look, just say goodbye to my sister, and my father will not be angry if I think about it." Moreover, isn't the second sister also grounded? ”

Jiu Ge saw that the water was splashed on him, so he was not in a hurry, he drank tea slowly, and did not talk.

When Zhang Mengke saw this, he didn't say much, he had to spare people.

"This is my sister's makeup to my sister, a small gift, and my sister please don't dislike it. Zhang Mengfan said, took out a gift box from the cuff, and a handkerchief also fell to the ground, with the word "repair" embroidered on it.

Zhang Mengfan hurriedly picked up the handkerchief, his face was half red, and his eyes were evasive.

Jiu Ge complained in her heart: Pretending to be quite similar! It's just that her handkerchief was torn by herself?

Zhang Mengke and Meng Shi didn't see it, and they didn't give this baby a chance to play at all.

"How can my sister dislike my sister's heart, as the saying goes, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, and my sister will remember my sister's affection. Zhang Mengke looked calm, just as if the scene just now had not happened at all.

Zhang Mengfan collapsed, so obviously he didn't need to ask, but he had no choice but to hand over the gift box in his hand again.

Zhang Mengke took the gift box, did not rush to open it, but turned around and handed it to Bai Xue, and said:

"Thank you, sister. ”

Zhang Mengfan bit his lip and said, "I wish my sister, always reconcile and grow old together." ”

"There are a lot of things going on today, if my sister is fine, my sister will not leave my sister here, you are still grounded, it is better to go back quickly, so as not to be found out by my father and unhappy. ”

When Zhang Mengfan heard the grounding, he shivered again, this eldest sister really can't open any pot. However, the words of the people have come to this point, so they have to bow to Meng Shi and retire.

"Yes, mother, daughter is leaving. ”

Meng Shi nodded, even in response. Without saying a word throughout the whole process, the means of these three young ladies do not need to be done by themselves.

Jiu Ge watched a play that couldn't be performed, and admired Meng's rank again, this has to be learned, maybe it will be used in the future.

But Zhang Mengke didn't think so, after all, the handkerchief was embroidered with the name of his future husband, and he was calm at that time for the sake of face, but now he panicked.

"You say, is this handkerchief really Yang Xiuyuan's?"

"It's not. Jiu Ge replied with certainty.

Seeing Meng Shi and Zhang Mengke looking at her suspiciously, they realized that their mouth was fast, but Jiu Ge explained:

"This embroiderer belongs to the third sister, and she brought it to her, probably because she embroidered it. ”

Meng Shi thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, he had just patronized the words, and did not pay attention to the embroiderers.

"Still, it's better to guard against her, if something goes wrong in front of the guests tomorrow, it's hard to explain. Jiu Ge thought for a moment and reminded.

"Mama Meng, you go and spread the word, the third lady is sick, and you don't have to attend the eldest lady's marriage tomorrow. Send a few more strong grandmothers to watch her closely, and don't let her make any moths. ”

"Yes, ma'am. Mama Meng obeyed the order and went out to make arrangements.

Jiu Ge sighed, sure enough, the identity of Mrs. Zhengfu is good, and her majesty is still easy to use.

After a few more words, they had dinner in Baige Courtyard, and then went back to their respective homes.

When Jiu Ge returned to Shuyue Pavilion, it was already dark, and the lights had been lit up and down Shuyue Pavilion, halfway upstairs, Jiu Ge noticed that something was wrong, and turned back to Xia Zhi who followed and said:

"Summer solstice, you take the spring and autumn equinox to the small kitchen to help me cook a bowl of ginger soup, and I'll drink it later. ”

Xia Zhi agreed, and went downstairs.

There is a faint strong true qi floating in the hall, and the summer solstice is still shallow, so it is naturally not felt. Jiu Ge touched the bead hairpin on his head before slowly walking in.

Pushing open the door, I saw a person sitting at the table, with a dark hat and cloak, I couldn't see my face, and I saw Jiu Ge pushing the door in, pushing the child next to him, and said in a deep voice:

"The person you want to see has already been brought, and you only have time for half a stick of incense. ”

When the child who pushed over saw Jiu Ge, his confined lips moved, and he didn't make a sound. But Jiu Ge almost shed tears, isn't this Xiao Jin'er?

At this time, his clothes were torn to tatters, and there were blood stains, and he was in a mess.
