Chapter 548 A chance encounter at the foot of the mountain
The Li family was going to offer incense, so they informed Zhou Hanju early on. Zhou Hanju also felt that these days were unlucky, so he agreed without even thinking about it. The Xu family is also a Buddhist, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally went together.

Zhou Hanju didn't forget to call her natal family over there. The old lady of the Zhou family is still sick, so Li Yuanchun, as a daughter-in-law, naturally wants to pray for her mother-in-law, but Qin, the eldest daughter-in-law, didn't go, maybe because she was afraid The elder sister-in-law Zhou Hanyu still had other thoughts in her heart. After she came back from the palace, she fell ill and didn't leave the room for several days.

Zhou Hanyu was also happy that she didn't go with her, because of the matter of her mother and niece, she still hated to see Mrs. Qin very much.

Because Jiang Shanqing was worried about Li Meier, he asked for leave this day and accompanied them.

For this reason, in the early morning, Mrs. Li scolded Li Meier, thinking that she was the one who urged Shanqing to accompany her.

"I know that it's time for you young couple to mix oil with honey, but no matter how tightly you stick together, you can't delay the man's errands. Shan Qing just entered the Hanlin Academy, so he wants to show more Sometimes, if he asked for leave for such a trivial matter, if he found out about it, he might think that our family, Shanqing, is not motivated."

Li Meier didn't want Brother Shanqing to accompany her, but Brother Shanqing didn't listen to her. Now that Mrs. Li said so, she took advantage of the situation and said: "Grandma, you are so right, I also think that Shanqing It's not good for brother to ask for leave, so I'll let him go to the Yamen immediately."

Mrs. Li saw that she had a good attitude of introspection, so she didn't say anything more, but told Jiang Shanqing to go to the Yamen as soon as possible, and don't delay here.

Jiang Shanqing was dumbfounded immediately, he didn't expect Li Meier to have such a trick, but how could he go to the Yamen with peace of mind at this moment, so he reluctantly said: "Grandmother, I have hired you for this leave..."

"It's fine if you go back and sell it, it's not a difficult thing." Li Meier blinked her big eyes and said as a matter of course.

Jiang Shanqing glared at her secretly, and wanted to say something else, Li Meier asked Jiang Shanqing's book boy to help him lead the horse in the backyard.

Jiang Shanqing had no choice but to get on his horse and go to the Hanlin Academy under the gaze of the old and the young.

Li Mei'er got Jiang Shanqing away, so she supported Mrs. Li's arm, and said with a smile, "Grandmother, let's wait outside too. I guess my aunt and sister Yuanchun will be here soon."

Li Mei'er and Li Lao Niang went out first and waited in the carriage. Jiang Shi packed up the two children and came back later.

Both the Jiang family and the Zhou family came very quickly. Zhou Muyi made an appointment with Li Meier in private, and he would follow them quietly after they all went up the mountain.

After the group gathered together, there were four carriages in total, and they headed for Tan Tuo Temple in a mighty manner.

As soon as the group reached the foot of the mountain, they got out of the carriage and met someone they knew.

The carriage that Li Meier and Mrs. Li were sitting in was at the front. Li Meier had good eyesight, and she saw the familiar logo on the carriage body not far away at a glance. When the people in the carriage got out of the carriage, she waved towards them. wave.

Because there were only two teams of carriages reaching the foot of the mountain at the moment, Sun Xiaowu saw Li Meier who was waving desperately at her at once.But she soon became worried again, and turned her head to look at the Xie family who had a plate.

Mrs. Xie knew that her daughter was suffocating at home these days, glanced at Li Meier who was wearing a veiled hat, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, let's go."

Sun Xiaowu immediately responded happily, holding up her skirt, and trotted towards Li Meier.

Although Sun Xiaowu was happy, he did not lose his manners. He first saluted Mrs. Li and the Jiang family, and then pulled Li Meier to talk.

The two of them could see the smiles on each other's faces through the veil. Sun Xiaowu was impatient, and said first: "Sister Mei, if I knew you were coming to Tan Tuo Temple, I would have begged my mother to let me come with you." up."

"Didn't I meet you too?" Li Meier also smiled, thinking that the last time I met Sun Xiaowu was not long ago, but now it seems like I haven't seen each other for a long time.

"By the way, I heard from my mother that you entered the palace a few days ago?" Sun Xiaowu seemed to have a lot of things to tell Li Meier, so he first asked what he wanted to know the most.

Li Meier nodded, "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when I get to the temple in a while."

While the two were talking, Mrs. Xie came over with a few people. Li Meier looked over and was attracted by a figure.

The man was wearing a very heavy hood, which almost covered his whole body, but looking at his figure, he could still tell that he was a young woman.

Li Meier was looking at it when she heard Sun Xiaowu beside her whisper, "That's Lu Zhiwei."

Li Mei'er was surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Has her poison been cured?"

Sun Xiaowu shook his head slightly, and his voice suddenly became lower, "The poison is very strange, and it is almost impossible to completely cure it, but now the poison has been controlled, but we don't know what happened to her face." , since she was poisoned, she hasn't been out of the room, and she will come out today because the Bodhisattva of Tan Tuo Temple has a efficacious effect, and she wants to beg the Bodhisattva to make her face look better."

Seeing that Mrs. Xie and the others were approaching, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, but went upright to salute Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie has always liked Li Mei'er very much, quickly stretched out her hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite, speaking of our two families being destined, we can meet each other like this."

As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Li and greeted, "Old birthday star, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look younger again."

Mrs. Li also greeted with a smile, "Where, I am already at this age, why are you young or not, but Madam, you look younger and younger. If you don't tell me, who would know that you are the mother of two children?" .”

The two exchanged a few compliments back and forth.

Sun Xiaowu was the most impatient to hear the greetings from the adults, so he took Li Meier's hand and said, "Mother, Mei Meier and I are walking fast, so let's go up first."

Mrs. Xie knew that her daughter had a rare day to relax, so she didn't hold back, nodded and said: "Take a few maidservants and be careful with your feet. There is a lot of moss on the mountain at the moment, so be careful if you slip. Also, remember not to fall on the cliff. go up..."

"Understood." Sun Xiaowu replied impatiently, and before Mrs. Xie could finish her instructions, she dragged Li Meier to a trot, and Li Meier didn't even have time to salute.

Xie watched helplessly as the two little girls ran away in a blink of an eye, and suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, looked at the person beside him who had been silent, and asked, "Zhiwei, what do you want?" Not with them?"
