The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 844 Kneeling Down

"Chi!" The locust bird took the lead.

Meng Shisan wanted to know about Lan Zhijin's situation in Jinling, so he decided to send the locust bird to check it out. It could fly thousands of miles and come and go quickly, so it was undoubtedly the best choice.

At noon the next day, Meng Shisan took Tong Yu out of the car, wearing a yellow gauze hat and entered Baolai Tower. When they stepped into the Tu Su private room, the three clan leaders were already in the room.

"Please wait, three clan leaders." She bowed.

The three old masters all stepped aside and said in unison, "We dare not accept Miss Meng's gift."

Judging from their identities alone, her status as the eldest granddaughter of Meng Tianguan is enough to overshadow their identities as merchants. In addition, Meng Shisan is very likely the descendant of Meng Zu, so they dare not accept Meng Shisan's gifts.

After the two sides sat down, Meng Shisan saw that they met again today, and the three old masters could actually sit in front of her, while the three masters of Hua Shashui stood behind their respective fathers. She knew that this second meeting should have a result.

Sure enough, soon I heard Old Master Hua say, "After we went back yesterday, we discussed and came up with a solution."

When it came to the idea, he didn't continue talking, but stopped and waited for Meng Shisan's reaction.

"What method?" Meng Shisan asked.

Grandpa Hua glanced at Grandpa Sha and Grandpa Shui and said, "In addition to leaving behind one master, three sets, four pieces and thirteen tokens, Meng Zu also left behind a painting."

"Painting?" Meng Shisan thought about it for a moment, then remembered it. He frowned and said, "It's just a piece of calligraphy. Where did the painting come from?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three old masters stood up at the same time, and the pupils of Master Hua, Master Sha Er, and Master Shui Da also dilated at the same time.

Tong Yu, who was standing behind Meng Shisan, and Tong Chen, who was hiding outside Tu Su's room, also became alert at the same time.

Although there is no visible danger now, accidents often happen suddenly when you let your guard down or when something seems impossible.

Old Master Hua realized belatedly that he had overreacted. He looked at his old friends beside him and saw that they had also overreacted. He calmed down, trying to calm his inner excitement. Then he raised his hand to signal his two old friends to pay attention to their manners.

He himself stepped back and sat back in his chair, trembling slightly.

Old Master Sha and Old Master Shui looked at each other, then at Meng Shisan, and then back at Old Master Hua who had sat back in his chair, and then they slowly sat down again.

"Miss Meng, since you know it's not a painting but a calligraphy, can you please tell me which calligraphy it is?" Old Master Hua has been in the business world for his whole life and is very cunning. He set a trap for Meng Shisan to break, and now he has set a second one.

Inside and outside the Tu Su Ya Jian, everyone except Tong Yu and Tong Chen knew the truth.

The current clan leader of Hua Shashui and the six next clan leaders are the core leaders of the three clans. The three pairs of fathers and sons all know about the objects left by Meng Zu, the thirteen tokens and a calligraphy.

As the ancestor of Meng Zu, Meng Shisan naturally knew the whole story: "Two words - Southern Barbarians."

Before hearing the word "Nanman", Tongchen pricked up his ears to try to understand what the words meant. After hearing them, he was stunned and thought to himself that the Mengzu mentioned by the three clan leaders was really a lazy person. No matter the words engraved on the token or the words left behind, they were all simple and concise.

The token only has two words - thirteen.

The character also has two words - Nanman.

Moreover, they are all easy to understand and straightforward. I think she is a girl who would rather simplify things than complicate things. And this kind of girl was able to teach the three tribes of Huashashui to worship her as the ancestor for hundreds of years, which shows that her kindness to the three tribes of Huashashui was extremely great.

On the way back to the Meng Mansion, Tong Yu sat on the side of the carriage, her heart still beating wildly: "Miss... why did they suddenly... kneel down?"

Three clan leaders, three heads of the family, and three pairs of father and son, a total of six people, knelt down in front of Meng Shisan solemnly and earnestly after she said the word "Southern Barbarians" and kowtowed to her three times without saying a word.

Over the past thousand years, there were so many people who knelt before her that it was hard to count them. Moreover, she had to pretend to be a descendant of Meng Zu on the surface, but in fact she was Meng Zu's own ancestor. She accepted their three kowtows with ease.

Tong Yu didn't know the inside story, and Meng Shisan didn't explain much. He was frightened in Tu Su's room, and even now when he was riding in the carriage back home, he still couldn't understand why they suddenly knelt down.

"You just need to know that they will listen to me in the future and do their best to protect my second brother in Lingnan. That's all." Meng Shisan had no intention of explaining more and picked out the key points to explain to Tong Yu.

Tongyu agreed, and even though she was confused, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The three old masters returned excitedly to the new house and sat down in the hall in the front yard. Old Master Hua asked Master Hua to get the calligraphy passed down from their ancestors, and then the remaining five people waited in the hall together.

After a while, Mr. Hua brought out the long wooden box containing the scroll, gently placed it on the table in the hall, opened the wooden box, took out the scroll, slowly spread it out, and took out the calligraphy of Mengzu that he had copied before going to Beijing.

"Fortunately, Brother Hua had a foresight and asked someone to copy the calligraphy written by Meng Zu himself. Now we can take it out and compare it with others." Old Master Shui couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the copied calligraphy.

Old Master Sha continued, "That's right! Brother Hua, quickly take out the two words that Miss Meng wrote on the spot in the Tusuya room of Baolai Building and compare them to see if they are the same!"

He was impatient and couldn't stand Old Master Hua's slow movements.

Old Master Hua has always been calm and steady. As he got older, his hands and feet became slower and slower. He hated it most when others urged him. Even if they were lifelong friends, he would glare at them first, then spread out a piece of rice paper and place it neatly next to the characters he was copying.

The ink on the rice paper had just dried, and the copied words had been there for some time, but when the two words were placed together, the word "Nanman" could still be recognized at a glance...

There is no difference between them!
Old Master Sha: “That’s right…”

Old Master Shui: "Yes..."

Old Master Hua: "Really!"

Master Hua, Master Sha Er, and Master Shui Da quickly became busy, giving instructions and arrangements one after another in an orderly manner.

The three old masters were listening in the hall, adding to the discussion from time to time, sighing from time to time, and wiping away tears from time to time.

After Tongchen safely escorted Meng Shisan back to the Meng Mansion, he returned to the palace to report. Seeing that it was not yet dusk, he went directly to Wenhua Palace.

When he entered the hall, Ji Kuan and Meng Renping were not there, only Chang Qing was waiting on the side.

He described everything that happened in Tu Su Ya's room from beginning to end without any mistakes. Chang Qing opened his mouth unconsciously, but Li Shou looked completely unsurprised.

After Tongchen finished his report, Li Shou asked Tongchen to return to the dark.

He put down his brush, closed the memorial he had not finished reading, stood up and walked to the platform outside the palace gate, looking in the direction of the Meng Mansion.

Watching it without blinking.
