Foster son and husband

Chapter 108
At Youshi, the attendant walked up to King Qi and said something, King Qi put down the drum stick, Meiniang was relieved, she wanted to run away a long time ago.

King Qi said to Mei Niang: "I still have to enter the palace, so I'm leaving first. Princess Su De returned to Beijing yesterday, and I will come tomorrow... tomorrow may be later."

"It doesn't matter, the business is important. Your Highness has learned some essentials now. The new drum has not been made yet. If you want to practice, you can come at any time. I'm not here, so it's okay to have them with you!"

King Qi glanced at her gloomyly: "I come here to play the drums, do you want them to accompany you?"

Mei Niang lowered her eyes: "Then... let's rest tomorrow."

King Qi thought for a while: "I do have a few things to do tomorrow, how about this, you rest at ease, if I come, I will let someone call you, you live in the yard over there, separated by a door, it is convenient Very good!"

Mei Niang lowered her head and smiled wryly: "It's convenient or not, you'll find out after you try it out. In order to teach you how to play the drums, my sister spent all the time in taking care of the cyclamen. It's not so important to have a private meeting with a lover!"

Sending off King Qi, Meiniang asked Lin Runan, "Who is Princess Su De?"

Lin Runan looked at her and shook her head and sighed: "You really forgot too many things! Princess Sude is the younger sister of the emperor and King Qi. After recruiting a horse, they went to live in the fief together. I also went shopping yesterday and heard that ——Her entourage died not long ago, and the queen mother took pity on her new widow and asked the emperor to call her back to Beijing."

"A widow? She's so young!"

Meiniang thought, the emperor is the same age as Xu Junying, and Princess Sude is one or two years younger than King Qi, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old. She has become a widow before life begins?This is too much!
Lin Runan said lightly: "How about a widow? Royal daughters don't have to worry about marrying. With the queen mother and the emperor in charge, it will take a year or so at most to recruit another horse back!"

Mei Niang smiled and said, "That's right, why worry about her? We have people to worry about!"

Lin Runan looked at her vigilantly: "Who do you want to worry about?"

"I have too many people to worry about, which one do you ask?" Meiniang said with a smile, and suddenly straightened her face:

"Zhang Jingyun may have passed your news to the Queen. Before she gave birth, she should invite us to meet!"

Lin Runan said angrily: "I am the daughter of a guilty minister now, how can I see her?"

Mei Niang said: "If she wants to see her, she will always find a way!"

Lin Runan nodded: "Yeah! I want to see her, if you want to call me into the palace, I'm not afraid!"

Mei Niang stretched out her hand and held her hand: "I'll accompany you!"

Two good friends were standing and talking on the stone path in the yard. Cuixi hurried over with an anxious expression on her face: "Girl, it's getting late, it's time to go back!"

Lin Runan held her tight: "It's never too late to leave after dinner!"

Only then did Mei Niang remember that she was going to have dinner at Jin Hua Tang tonight, she hurriedly broke her hand away: "Let's wait another day, I really can't do it today, I have to go back late, and I won't be able to see Heng Er at night!"

Seeing Lin Runan's reluctance, he comforted him: "I won't come tomorrow, but I will come in two days. Right now, you still don't want to come to Xu's mansion to see me. That place is not fun, and I desperately want to run out." If you are free, go to Cyclamen, let shopkeeper Lu serve you with delicious food and drinks, there are a lot of candidates for the exam, young and talented, handsome, tall, short, fat and thin, you pay attention to it, If there is an eye-catcher, we will invite them to do it..."

Lin Runan listened carefully at first, but at the end pushed her away: "Go, go! I'm afraid of you, it's different when you're really married, you dare to say anything!"

Meiniang took Cuixi Cuisi into the car and told Lin Amao to be careful and drive as fast as possible. Fortunately, there were very few pedestrians on the street and there were not many cars and horses. Meiniang changed her clothes in the car and changed it to a maid The car also arrived outside the west gate of Xu Mansion.

Mrs. Yu was circling around in the courtyard on the west side. When she saw them coming back, she was overjoyed: "Hurry up! Mama Lin has made arrangements, and the journey is fine—Mama Wang came to look for it a few times, saying that if you don't come back, things will get serious!"

Mei Niang was taken aback, what's going on?Even Mother Wang couldn't hold back anymore.

Entering Tsinghua University, Cheng'er walked towards them, looked left and right, stopped in front of them and whispered: "Master Hou is drinking tea in the upper room. He said that we will go to Jinhua Hall together when Grandma comes back!"

Cui Xi and Cui Si jumped, Mei Niang frowned: Xu Junying is boring or what?Could it be that he, like King Qi, has really seen something?
I have to think carefully, what should I do, continue to be Qin Meiniang, or tell him the truth?

oops!Right now, I have to change into this girl's attire first, and go back to the room to meet him.

Mei Niang looked around and asked Cui Si: "Is there a coat of mine in the embroidered bag on your back?"

Cuisi nodded: "Yes, there are two handkerchiefs, a scarf, some headgear and so on!"

Mei Niang said: "Let's go, let's go to the small side yard over there and change clothes in Auntie's room."

Cuixi was stunned for a moment: "Go to my aunt's room? Is that all right? They will tell Lord Hou!"

Mei Niang glanced at her: "Didn't you listen to what Mama Wang said? After Ruyi lost her baby, Lord Hou has never been to their courtyard again... These two were originally second-class maids in the old lady's room, but they are not like Rui Zhu. An elf like Ruibao, who has received my favor on weekdays, shouldn't dare to say anything, let's go!"

The three of them walked to the small side courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard gate, Cuisi's eyes lit up: there is a well under the shade of flowers by the gate, why don't you remember?Immediately stepped forward, seeing that there was half a bucket of clear water in the bucket, he stretched out the handkerchief in his hand to soak it, and held it in front of Meiniang. Put it away for Cuisi, turned around and walked into the room, the woman in the corridor thought her eyes were dazzled: It is obviously the grandma who came, why is she wearing girl's clothes and wearing a double bun?I wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout, I just stood there dumbfounded and stared.

Mei Niang smiled and said: "Haven't you seen me like this? I made a bet with the third grandma. Each of us will dress up in different ways and walk in the garden to see if the other party can find it. I don't think I will lose to her, haha." !"

Ruyi and Xiu'er were sitting in the room doing needlework, when they heard voices, they hurried out, and both bowed to Mei Niang, Ruyi said:

"Grandma is enjoying herself to the fullest? Hot water is being boiled, and the servants are going to fetch water for grandma to wash her face?"

Mei Niang nodded: "Alright, look at my messy hair, let's tidy it up and let Cuixi come!"

Ruyi and Xiu'er were selected to be house maids at the same time, but only Ruyi served Xu Junying for one night and became pregnant. Xu Junying didn't want her child's biological mother to have no name. Madam Zheng was ill and couldn't take care of it, so the old lady took care of it. Lord, I raised Ruyi to be my aunt, but the old lady didn't know how to think about it. She only said that Xiu'er and Ruyi had a deep relationship, they were inseparable every day, and they took care of each other. Because of this, I didn't come to the small side yard again.Ruyi's fetus slipped away, he came to see it once, and never came again after that, the two aunts were discouraged, they got permission, they didn't have to go to the grandma to serve them, they were locked in the small side yard every day, doing needlework together, and lived an ordinary life Lonely days.Few people think of them, and both of them are extremely introverted and cautious, unwilling to take the initiative to interact with others. After Mei Niang was in charge, she went to see them once out of curiosity, and felt that the two women were too honest. And some additional clothes, other daily necessities such as tea, sugar, rouge, etc., they don’t go to report to the manager, the manager may excuse that they are too busy or really forget, if they don’t bring it, they don’t use it, Mei Niang’s respect for them It was incredible to be indifferent and wanting nothing. She was not a real housewife, and she was not repulsed by the two concubines. She sighed and handed Cuixi the responsibility to send all the daily necessities to the small side yard every month. Seeing that they did a good job in needlework, they also gave silk cloth and wool as extras, letting them do what they like, and do whatever they want. Grandma is naturally very grateful.

At that moment, Ruyi Xiu'er hurried to tidy up the dressing table. Cuixi and Cuisi re-combed Meiniang's hair nimbly, inserted gold and jade hairpins, and changed her outer robe. It was only half a cup of tea time, and Meiniang returned to her usual attire. In a hurry, he didn't stop much, and when he got up to leave, he said to Ruyi:
"I come to see you all the time when I'm not free. What's missing, what's needed, just tell Cuixi, eat what you should eat, use what you should use, don't let yourself be wronged!"

Ruyi lowered her head and said respectfully: "Grandma Cheng has taken care of you, the servants are not short of anything now. The servants coughed for a while before, and it was Grandma who asked someone to take the medicine. Now everything is healed. Thank you, Grandma. !"

Mei Niang said a few polite words to them, and then left. She went back to the upper room, saw Xu Junying, sat down at the table, and sighed:

"It's so tiring! I regret that I didn't listen to Lord Hou. It's really not for a weak woman like me to manage such a big family. Just patrolling the garden will kill me!"

Xu Junying looked at her coldly: "I asked Baoju to patrol most of the garden for you, but I didn't hear him say where he saw you!"

"Bao Ju? He hasn't come back yet?"

"Just came back. Cui Lian also sent two people to look for it. The third grandma, the fourth grandma, and the girls searched all the way back from the yard, but they didn't see you. I don't know which garden you went to patrol!"

"Of course they can't find me," Mei Niang took the tea bowl Cui Lian handed over, lifted the lid and took a sip, and said calmly, "I'm in the small side yard, and the two aunts Ruyi and Xiu'er are doing extremely well in their needlework. Well, I like it very much, I sat and watched it for a long time!"

Xu Junying looked at her, probably felt that she was telling the truth, so she looked away.

Mei Niang said: "Master Hou has to spend more time in the small side courtyard. The small courtyard is very nice, the air is fresh and the flowers and trees are flourishing..."

If Xu Junying wanted to accept Zheng Meiyu as a good concubine, it would be better to get closer to these two simple concubines. She may not be as beautiful as her bad cousin, but at least she has a pure heart, dozens of times better than her.

"Didn't you say that the small courtyard is very humid? Choose another courtyard and let them move it!" Xu Junying said.

Mei Niang was startled: "Why do you want to move? Tsinghua University has plenty of houses..."

Was it Zhuang Yulan's or Zheng Meiyu's idea?I haven't married yet, so I chased my aunt first, without the support of the old lady or the wife, how dare they do this?
After thinking about it, I thought again: It might not be good for the two concubines to stay in Tsinghua University. Instead of living here and waiting for the new grandmother and good concubine to come in and torture them to death, it is better to get out as soon as possible. A sum of money, go home and marry another lover, that is to cultivate merit.

But now she really doesn't have time to think about others, so let's forget it, each has its own fate, and it's out of control.

　It's the weekend, the two relatives have a ticket for Ah Rou, okay?
