After Meng Shisan drank the iced plum soup, he chatted with Old Mrs. Meng for a while about daily life and a few interesting things in the world. Among them, Qiao Sang, who was going to be buried today, was inevitably mentioned. Time flew by.

Grandfather and grandson really have endless things to talk about.

Mother Liu was watching from the side, feeling very happy in her heart, thinking that since the death of Empress Xian Meng, she had only been able to be so happy when she was getting along with the eldest lady.

Returning to the topic, Meng Shisan asked: "Grandma, why didn't you mention it to your grandfather that Your Highness asked me to secretly meet with General Qiao?"

"Then Yaoyao answer grandma first. Your Highness asked you to go, but did you let your eldest brother and that boy from the Ji family know?" Mrs. Meng asked back.

"No." Meng Shisan understood and dared her grandmother to think about it together with her. "Grandma thought that His Highness must have a reason for doing this, so she didn't say anything?"

Old Mrs. Meng nodded: "Your Highness has your arrangements. I am an old woman, so I can't be of much help. I can only try not to cause trouble."

Meng Shisan took Old Mrs. Meng's arm and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter has something else that she would like to report to her. After hearing this, please don't blame her for taking matters into her own hands, and don't get angry."

"Let's talk about it first." Old Mrs. Meng knew that her eldest granddaughter didn't come here on weekdays, but she came here today, so there must be something going on. As expected, it was one thing after another.

Meng Shisan said: "Grandma, since my second brother returned home, he rarely goes out. When he goes out, he only goes out to buy books, copybooks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones..."

Old Mrs. Meng interrupted: "There is no need to talk about these foreshadowings. Ji Ge'er is also my grandson. He used to stay in Zhuangzi, but now he has returned to the Meng Mansion. He is already eighteen years old, and the Meng family is a rare young man. You have to make plans for him. You don’t need to tell me what he has been doing every day from the time he returned home to now. Grandma knows that he is a good boy, but it’s a pity... let’s just talk about the main point.”

Already eighteen years old, it’s really too late to cultivate him again.

She sighed slightly in her heart and said nothing more, just letting her eldest granddaughter have something to talk about.

Meng Shisan thought that his grandmother controlled the inner house, and there were only things that her grandmother wanted to know and did not want to know. There was nothing that her grandmother wanted to know but did not know. If her grandmother wanted to know something about her brother, she would know it very clearly.

However, the elder brother returned to the Meng Mansion as a concubine, and was later sent to Zhuangzi where no one knew about him for ten years. Since my grandmother never cared about him in the past, my grandmother was able to allow my brother to return to the Meng Mansion because of the mention. She was the one responsible for this matter, and with His Highness' support behind her, her grandmother deserved to be so happy. With her brother returning to the house like this, she didn't think anyone besides her would really care about her brother's future.

Even though the eldest aunt never lacks the role that a brother should have, and even if her grandmother tells her to do so, she doesn't think that her grandmother and eldest aunt will really have plans for her brother. Naturally, she won't pay attention to her brother's daily presence in Moriwanyuan. Do something.

I never thought she was being narrow-minded.

Not only is she concerned about her brother's daily life, but her grandmother also has a panoramic view of him.

It seems that whether it is the backyard or the front yard, my grandmother knows everything about the house. And when she treats the grandchildren in the house, although they are different from direct descendants, she does not forget that all of them are named Meng.

"Grandma, my granddaughter has found a job for her second brother." Meng Shisan said this first, then paused to see her grandmother's reaction.

Old Mrs. Meng was amused by her eldest granddaughter's cautious and probing look: "Okay, Yaoyao has the ability!"

Meng Shisan asked: "Grandma, why don't you ask me about my errand?"

"Is it related to the matter that His Highness has entrusted you to handle secretly?" Old Mrs. Meng asked, already knowing something in her mind, "Is it related to General Zhennan?" Meng Shisan was surprised: "Grandma is wise!"

"Hahaha..." Old Mrs. Meng laughed. She liked to hear compliments from her juniors.

After laughing for a while, she continued in detail: "I first heard the report below, saying that you always go to Ji Ge'er's courtyard and stay for a long time, so I thought that you must be for your second brother. What are you planning? Later, when I heard you report that His Highness asked you to meet General Qiao secretly, I was thinking about what else you might do. Unexpectedly, you only reported one of them, and to this day Fang Lai and his grandmother reported the second issue. Yaoyao, do you know that you are seeking skin from a tiger? No matter which general of the Four Expeditions, they are not easy to mess with. The only one who can convince them is Yun Da, the general of the auxiliary country. The general is even the present His Majesty..."

Speaking of this, she did not forget to whisper to Meng Shisan quietly: "It's still a little different."

Meng Shisan's eyes widened when he heard this: "What should we do? My granddaughter is already seeking skin from a tiger, is there any way to save her?"

"You girl!" Old Mrs. Meng scolded with a smile, "You are so dishonest in front of grandma!"

"Grandma really knows?" Meng Shisan hadn't yet told Meng Renji that he wanted to go to Lingnan. He only told her now that her grandmother knew everything.

But she wanted to know whether she knew everything, or just a few things.

Old Mrs. Meng said: "Tell me, what's the errand?"

Meng Shisan said with a smile: "So grandma doesn't know!"

Fortunately, my grandmother only knew a little bit about it, but she didn’t know everything.

If not, she would privately ask Shang Chun to inquire about the cause of her mother's sudden hysteria at the house. Wouldn't it be right under her grandmother's nose?

I still have to ask Chun Shang later to see if anyone has noticed it. If not, that would be the best. In the future, Shang Chun will be more cautious in doing things.

"Should you tell me? Grandma won't listen if you don't tell me..."

"Second brother is going to Lingnan!"

Before Mrs. Meng could finish what she was pretending not to listen to, Meng Shisan revealed the second thing about coming to the house today: "General Qiao has already agreed and has met the second brother. When Miss Qiao comes today, After the burial, General Qiao will leave for Lingnan in the next two days. His granddaughter is thinking about going to Nanman. Not to mention the long distance and uneven road, she thinks that she will miss it by two or three days at most, so her second brother will have to leave Beijing quickly. , hurry up and catch up with General Qiao. As long as we meet up and have General Qiao with the second brother, the safety of the second brother can be guaranteed. In addition, the second brother also needs a skilled personal attendant. "

When she heard that it was about Lingnan, the smile on Old Mrs. Meng's face suddenly disappeared.

I thought that the eldest granddaughter just used General Zhennan's power in the capital to find a position for the second grandson as a military general in the capital. So she had nothing to disagree with. After all, she was still under the nose of the Meng family, and the second grandson was doing errands. Whether it goes well or not, the Meng family will be responsible for it, and they are not afraid of losing their lives.

However, going to Nanman is completely different!
"Didn't grandma already guess that the job her granddaughter was looking for for her second brother was related to General Qiao?" Meng Shisan gradually felt a little uneasy when he saw this.

She was originally worried that her brother's life would be in danger if he left Beijing alone. Now seeing her grandmother's reaction, her heart sank.
