- "Sincerely and enthusiastically."
As soon as Lu Yan's words fell, the eldest princess frowned and said several words "you" in a row.
Her beautiful eyes were round and she looked at him incomprehensibly and said, "You were the one who said you would try it, and you were the one who gave people the calligraphy and painting. If you don't like it, just tell me, why do you have to embarrass her so much? ?"
Lu Yan was silent for a while, and said to the eldest princess, "Why doesn't my mother ask her what she has done?"
The eldest princess' eyes froze, she heard something in his words, and she lowered her voice and said, "She... But what did she do to annoy you?"
Lu Yan said: "The eldest princess thinks it counts as her sending someone to follow me?"
The eldest princess was shocked, and immediately retorted: "How come? In addition to serving by your grandmother in recent days, she has stayed in Fuxue Pavilion to toss with those calligraphy and paintings, and has never even been on the street." Although she didn't like it much Meng Suxi, but what the old lady said a few days ago moved her.
Speaking of which, when did Meng Suxi fall into the eyes of the old lady? Come to think of it, it was the day they played chess in the pavilion.
That day, when Lu Yan returned to the mansion, for some unknown reason, he kept his face cold and didn't save any face for Meng Suxi. Seeing that scene, the old lady felt that it was a bit too much, but Meng Suxi not only didn't blame her, but chased after him eagerly.
What the old lady liked was the temperament of the Meng family girl who knew how to advance and retreat.
As long as she can focus on Lu Yan and be a housekeeper, those identities are not so important.
The old lady has lived her whole life, and she often thinks, how can the life of the three-bedroom be so smooth? Lu Can, a person who attracts bees and butterflies like that, said that it is no exaggeration for him to float among hundreds of flowers. Wen knows how to bow his head, know how to coax people, and when it is cold, hot and harmonious, life is beautiful.
If one holds it and the other holds it, the newlywed Yaner is fine, as time goes by, sooner or later they will become a pair of grudges.
The old lady's words can be said to have hit the eldest princess. In the past two years, the daughter of the British public family is talking about kissing, and the daughter of the Ningguo Hou family is also talking about kissing. She knows too well that she really refuses to coax anyone.
This kind of thing has been experienced a few times, so that the eldest princess was a little pleasant to see Meng Suxi's good at pleasing people... But why...
Lu Yan looked at her mother's darkened face, and said, "If she is safe, I might not do this."
The eldest princess thought for a while, looked at Lu Yan and said, "So, your neck... is it intentional?"
Lu Yan subconsciously touched his neck, "That's not true."
"So, is it true to reject her, and is it true to stay in Pingkangfang every night?"
The corners of Lu Yan's lips moved, and there was a romantic meaning on his face that the eldest princess had never seen before, "Yes." Lu Yan had to recognize these words, and he had to recognize them, otherwise he would be caught Where the marks came from, it is even more unclear.
The eldest princess clenched her hands into fists.
Lu Yan has passed the age of weakness, and it's not that she can't understand this kind of thing, but she can't accept the thought that her bright son is hanging out with women in that kind of place every night.
She took a long breath, and as soon as she gave birth to the idea of taking him a good concubine, she heard Lu Yan say: "Mother don't have to worry, when I get married in the future, I will naturally break it up." A touch of humanity
Princess Jing'an was speechless by him, neither praising him nor scolding him, and even didn't want to say any more words to him.
Who said a child is born like a mother
How could she ever be such a jerk
—
The next night, the Duke of Zhenguo hosted a banquet for Mrs. Meng's family. Although the atmosphere at the banquet was very good, from Princess Jing'an's attitude towards Mrs. Meng, it could be seen that it was difficult to get married. .
But Meng Suxi did a lot, and the eldest princess didn't say much. After all, the girls want face, and so does the government of the township. After all, there is no way to bring such a thing to the table.
It is best to take it lightly and tacitly.
During the meal, Mrs. Meng's face was not bad, but as soon as she left the Xiji room of Yaolintang, her face sank.
Wen hurriedly ran after him and shouted, "Second sister, wait for me."
The Meng family's wife was still walking very fast, until she was stopped by the third grandmother, and she turned back and whispered: "If you have to talk about this matter, I don't think Xi girl did something wrong, obviously it is The Lu family's eldest son stayed in the Goulan Washe first, Xi girl just wanted to see..."
Before she could finish speaking, the third grandmother covered her mouth, "Brother Yan was also brought up by me, and a son who had no concubine by his side in the weak crown year, why did he come here, so he had to stay in the house? That kind of place? Besides, people didn't explicitly say that they want to marry Xixi, right? Second sister, there are many rules and regulations in the big family.
Before the third grandmother could finish her words, the Meng family's wife shook her hand away, "I can understand why my father always shouts about his married daughter, and the water is poured out, the eldest sister is now from the Zhenguo Gongfu. Patriarch, talking and doing things are really different."
Madam Meng's yin and yang's strange words were undoubtedly in Zawen's ears.
Wen's eyes were red, and she said to her: "Second sister said this today, and what is the same as what girl Xi said before she came?"
Madam Meng blushed when she was scolded by her always gentle sister.
But it was said that before Meng Suxi came, the Meng family's wife told Mrs. Wen the difficult situation of their mother and daughter in tears.
Although the eldest man of the Meng family is already a third-rank member of the court, his foundation is a bit shallow, and the biggest backer is nothing more than a saint. Therefore, Meng Ting's attention is very simple. He wants Meng Suxi to participate in the draft in the spring of next year.
The word "draft" sounds bright and beautiful.
But Emperor Chengyuan was the eldest son of the first emperor. Not to mention that he was nearly half a hundred years old. There were six princes under his knees. He let Meng Suxi enter the palace, but he just wanted to earn the reputation of a national uncle and fight for a title.
The Meng family has three daughters, Meng Suxi, Meng Lanxi, and Meng Yunxi. Except for Meng Suxi, who was born by Mrs. Meng, the latter two were both born by Meng Ting's cousin, Auntie Zhuang. Meng Ting had a deep affection for Auntie Zhuang, for fear that these two daughters would be inferior because they were born from a concubine, so she could not help but love them more.
With partial pain, discord naturally arises.
Of the three daughters in the family, none of them wanted to enter the palace to serve the old emperor, but Meng Ting suggested that Meng Suxi was a direct daughter many times.
The Meng family's wives and concubines are out of balance, causing the three children to compete almost everywhere from childhood to adulthood, comparing their knowledge, clothing, and appearance. In this, even if Meng Suxi has a disadvantage, Mrs. Meng will use silver to find Meng Suxi to make up for it. Anyway, her dowry is so much that no one is jealous.
The Meng family's troubles, including Meng Suxi's aggressive temperament, are all clear to the Wen family.
If she didn't know, why would she specifically ask Meng Suxi
Wen shi looked at her own younger sister and sighed, "Okay, let's go, if Xixi doesn't want to enter the palace, think of another way, don't get used to her too much."

In the evening, Lu Yan was sitting in his yard drinking tea with a scroll in his hand.
Suningtang's maid, Yun'er, came over to report in a low voice, "Master Shi, Miss Meng said she wanted to see you and is waiting outside the courtyard."
Lu Yan lowered his head and took a sip, and said in a low voice, "Let her come in."
I have to say, Meng Suxi has more rules this time. She quietly walked up to Lu Yan and said anxiously, "Can you let me explain a thing or two?"
Lu Yan didn't answer yet, only gave her a look of "you said", and Meng Suxi's heart trembled, as if she had done something wrong.
She lowered her head, her tears fell to the ground, choked up and misidentified, but her attitude was sincere, and she didn't mean to hide.
It is said that such a girl looks like she is about to cry, and any man will be soft-hearted when he sees it.
However, when they arrived at Lu Yan's place, Meng Suxi heard his voice flipping through the book.
In an instant, her brewing emotions were blown away by the wind.
Is he listening to her
She clenched her fists, looked at Lu Yan, and called softly: Shizi.
Lu Yan raised his head, looked at her with deep and thin eyes, and said, "I'm listening." The tone was much better than before.
Meng Suxi looked at his eyes, and at the scratches on his neck, she couldn't help thinking, at night, when he was lingering with Wen Xiang in his arms, did he also use such cold eyes
Thinking back to the way he played chess with her, she suddenly felt very sad. The feeling of not getting what she wanted really made her feel sad.
"Tomorrow, can Suxi still invite the prince to play chess?" Meng Suxi closed her eyes and asked.
Hearing this, Lu Yan closed the book in his hand and said to her, "It's not too late, Miss Meng should go back."
Lu Yan's expression was light and his tone was calm, so he didn't mean to be angry.
But she knew what she meant by such a straightforward refusal.
—
After Meng Suxi left, Lu Yan stepped into the inner room with the afterglow of the setting sun. Just when he was a little tired, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Lu Yan said.
After Yang Zong came in, he closed the doors and windows and said in a low voice, "Master Shizi, Miss Shen seems to be ill. My subordinates heard from Mo Yue that she will have a high fever and she will not return the appointment for a day. It's not a problem, Mo Yue found her subordinates."
When Lu Yan suddenly heard the words of Miss Shen, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a trance.
He twisted the white jade wrench on his hand, remembering the night he left.
She fell asleep in the tub, took a cold bath, and it's no wonder she didn't get sick.
Although Lu Yan was not proficient in medical skills, the simple symptoms of wind and cold were not difficult for him.
After thinking for a while, he took a piece of paper, prepared to write a prescription, and asked Yang Zong to get the medicine.
But as soon as he wrote the pen, her delicate appearance suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the phrase she always likes to say - "Sir, I'm uncomfortable."
For a moment, his temples hummed. He threw the pen in his hand and said, "It's almost curfew now, you don't need to order the carriage, I'll ride over there."
