Foster son and husband

Chapter 297
After sending the children out, the couple went back to Tsinghua University to take care of the little daughter. Meimei was a little absent-minded, thinking that the children were expected to be out of the city at this moment, and they were all half-grown children. It must be a horse race, Bao Ju may not be able to restrain them, Heng Er is the eldest brother, usually puts on airs, he should not be able to control so much outside, after all, he is only 17 years old, he is a hot-blooded boy.Meiyi and Meijuan are dressed in men's clothes. The 13-year-old girls have not grown up yet, but they have grown in height. They are like two orchid and jade trees, slender and handsome, riding horses, and mixed with Kang'er, Zhao Jie, Yi'er, etc. Among the boys in their teens, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that they are dressed as girls. Most of the boys from wealthy families are so delicate and tender. Meiyi and Meijuan seem to carry a small bag on their backs. How do daughters grow up? Yes, I know how to take some small personal items when I go out... It's also called bringing maids with me, why not let the maids carry them?

Memes and herself took Cuixi or Cuisi to go out, and the embroidered pouches they carried were full of valuables, including tens of thousands of taels of silver bills, jewelry, and her precious mask. Some cosmetics and medicines, what she often thought at that time was: If she leaves the Hou Mansion at this time, she will not be hungry or cold... There is no reason for her heart to shudder, her child, kindness!She won't have any ideas, will she?

Quickly pushed Xu Junying: "I can watch Meiyi Meifang myself, but you should go and take care of the older children. After all, I am out of town, so I don't worry!"

Under the influence of Meimei, Xu Junying would try her best to take care of and teach the children at home as long as she had free time. Although she felt sorry for her sick little daughter, she couldn't help worrying about those outside, so she nodded in agreement, appeased Meiyi and Meifang, and told the servants and maids to take care of her. In other words, go out with a hundred battles.

It was still too late, Meimei's premonition came true, and when Xu Junying caught up with the children, her kindness had disappeared!
Sure enough, he was young and playful, aiming at a mountain by the river in the distance to race horses. Ah Heng didn't want his two younger sisters to participate, but Mei Yi insisted on playing, and she couldn't stop her. Kang Er and Zhao Jie helped to talk again, so they had to let the two younger sisters participate. She followed her, and Baoju specifically told her son to follow Meiyi closely, but when they crossed a section of mountain road, an accident still happened. During the galloping, Meiyi's horse was suddenly frightened at a turning, and left the road to the side. He galloped away on the broken wall, and only in an instant, before the people behind could shout out, neither the people nor the horses were seen!
The broken wall is not very high, estimated to be the height of a house. Below it is a large river with a wide surface, running through the north and south, with interlaced tributaries, and three or five merchant ships pass by it. Entering the river, the river was swollen and turbid, and the torrent was rushing. Ah Kang led the way, and several bold boys who knew how to swim drove their horses into the river despite the guards' obstruction. As a result, the horses and men separated and went ashore separately. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and there was no trace of kindness. Not at all.

Xu Junying immediately sent someone to report back to the city. Of course, he did not immediately tell Meimei that her daughter was missing. Instead, he searched for relevant personnel and used all manpower to search in all directions. As long as all the boats on the river were searched one by one, neither the upstream nor downstream of the river could be released. However, the people who stayed in the same place searched carefully for the weeds on both sides of the bank until dark and found nothing. The Xu family father and son had to return to see Meimei full of grief.

When the news spread to the palace, the emperor and empress were taken aback. The person disappeared before the decree was issued?
The queen wanted to hide it, but how could she seal the mouth of King Jinling?The prince knew that night, and after being dumbfounded, he closed the door and cried loudly.He is the crown prince, the honorable crown prince, and the whole world will be his from now on. He can get whatever he wants, but he can't yet!He gave the promise to marry, the kindness that he had been thinking about was rejected, and disappeared out of thin air. He found that there was nothing he could do except grief!
From the time he is sensible, he has to receive various teachings, read many books, and learn such skills. He must be absolutely filial and obey the will of his father, queen, and queen.He loved Meiyi wholeheartedly, thinking that Meiyi would be his first wife. When he learned that the princess was not Meiyi, he was taken aback, and then accepted it calmly. He is a prince, and a prince is born with the ability to accept all kinds of unreasonable changes !It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a princess, as long as you can be together, being a princess is just a show, and the best thing is to give kindness.After avoiding his mother, he made up his mind to ask his father and emperor to marry Meiyi as his side concubine. He asked again and again, because Meiyi said: If you don't marry the prince brother, you would rather die!On the wedding night, disregarding the obstruction of the mother and queen, she insisted on her father's decision, but unexpectedly, she was still too late, and her father agreed, but her good intentions disappeared!

Goodness, why are you so impatient?It's only one day away, under the imperial decree tomorrow, we can be together the day after tomorrow!
Meimei fainted after hearing the news, and leaned against the round table, unable to scream. The children experienced the pain of losing their siblings. Seeing their mother like this, they were even more terrified, crying and shouting, and they were in a mess. , the United States couldn't help it, climbed up the chair and hugged the mother's head for inspection. Meimei burst into tears and hugged her daughter tightly, biting her lips for blood, but she couldn't cry aloud. She still had such a young daughter. , don't scare them!

Ah Heng rushed into Prince Qi's mansion and shouted at Xiao Hei, he was so dazed that he didn't remember to bring Goshawk Xiao Hei with him when he left the city!

King Qi and Princess Qi had already left the mansion when they got the news, King Qi rushed to find someone, Princess Qi must have gone to accompany Meimei, Zhao Min led Zhao Cong out from the corner gate, Zhao Cong stood on the shoulders of a huge stone like a millstone Xiao Hei, Zhao Min said:
"Brother Heng, Xiao Hei is locked, we just drove it out, and we are going to the waiting mansion, I know you want to use Xiao Hei!"

"Jie'er is too naughty, he brought Xiao Hei back and didn't let him fly away, otherwise it would be useful at this time!"

Ah Heng took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and covered Little Hei's head, then tied it on its paw: "This is the handkerchief of kindness, Cong'er, let Xiaohei fly, let him find kindness!"

Cheng'er and Xue'er went out again after returning home, and came back at midnight. Cheng'er told his parents:
"Master has done some calculations, and said that some people may fall into the river within a radius of three hundred miles today, but no one was injured or injured!"

Meimei calmed down a little, her eyes turned, and finally settled on Meijuan, Meijuan shook her head with tears in her eyes:
"Mother, my daughter really doesn't know anything! My sister slept very well last night and never said a word to me!"

In front of Xu Junying and many other children, Meimei couldn't ask any more questions. She had already asked what should be asked. She went to check Meiyi's room in person. She obviously ran away from home on purpose. Her girl was never really Xiaobai Ignorant, since she was young, she knew how to keep her own treasures. She left a lot of floating wealth and gold, silver and jewels with good intentions. Even the string of priceless imperial bestowed pearls was placed in the most conspicuous place, but she locked it in a small box. I couldn't find a single silver ticket, and Hongxia, the personal maid, cried and said: Miss got the key from her last night before going to bed, and opened the box by herself to check the contents before going to sleep...

Cuixi, Cui Lian and others rushed back after hearing the news. Cui Lian quietly inspected the upper room, and whispered in Meimei's ear:

"Young Madam, your ice spider mask is gone!"

Meimei bit her lip: She hasn't used the ice spider mask externally for many years, and sometimes she wears it to sleep at night for beauty, and keeps it in the bottom of the cinnamon makeup box. Goodness, this elf little girl, when did she miss it?
Cui Xi glared at Cui Si, and Cui Si lowered her head: Sure enough, talking too much caused trouble. What the young lady did before, she added fuel and vinegar, and made it into a story for the beautiful family to listen to. Unexpectedly, the little girl was interested and stole Ice spider mask, don't you want to imitate it?

She doesn't think kindness will die, every year when she takes the children out of the city to live in the villa, Cuixi, Cui Lian and her children are always indispensable. Cuixi is busy, and usually she and Cui Lian accompany the young lady. Come on, the young lady taking the children is like flying a kite. The children are pampered in the mansion, and they become wild monkeys when they go out of the city to live in the villa. Inside and outside the villa, they go up and down the hills and let them run around. Girls can mess around like boys. He Meijuan, as well as the girls of their family, not only can float on the water, but also can't come out after diving for a long time!The girl Zhongmeijuan is good at fisting and kicking, and the best in water is Meiyi. As long as she doesn't get knocked out by any hard objects, she will be fine if she goes down the river and finds a place to go ashore.

well!What good is a silly child doing as a princess?I ran out because of this anger, ran away, why did I jump into the river?Nowadays, the river is turbulent and turbulent, what if you get dizzy and get swept away by the vortex?It's really unlucky, good water quality doesn't help!
Three days later, the palace held a wedding as usual, marrying the crown prince's side concubines Chen Lanyan and Ling Bingyu. Facing the congratulatory crowd, the prince was always dignified and elegant, with a gentle smile, but it seemed that Ah Heng who was accompanying him became more indifferent and cold, with an expressionless face.Marquis Xu Junying of Weiyuan wanted to take care of his sick wife, so he couldn't enter the palace to celebrate, and the family of King Qi didn't come, saying that something happened in the mansion. The queen looked at the queen mother, but she didn't care, but it was the side concubine who came in. For fear that the old queen would feel uncomfortable, the emperor married a girl from the Sun family as the princess, and the queen made every effort to make the two side concubines come from the queen mother's natal family. The wedding banquet was held as grandly as marrying a crown princess, but who would have thought that these people... The queen was waiting for the emperor to arrive, when she suddenly saw a father-in-law beside the emperor coming to salute, saying that the emperor was unable to come due to something, so he just sent a verbal order for the queen to see Just do it!
One month after the crown prince's wedding, the Marquis of Weiyuan also held a happy event. The eldest son Xu Jiheng married Zhao Min, the princess of the Qi Palace. The palace chief Ji Qing who was watching the ceremony took out the imperial decree and read it out with a smile - Xu Junying, Marquis of Weiyuan, was suddenly promoted from Marquis to Duke Rong. Xu Jiheng, the bridegroom officer, also received a corresponding award, and the happiness was added to the joy. The relatives, friends and clansmen of Xu's mansion rushed to tell each other, and everyone was overjoyed. Firecrackers and salutes were fired all the time, and the people who came to celebrate the newlyweds had to celebrate again. More people poured into the mansion, and the Xu family was overwhelmed, and everything inside and outside the mansion was in chaos.
