"Mother, please try that. It's a specialty of our northern Xinjiang and you can't see it anywhere else." Meng Boqin's wife didn't know whether she was really ill, or whether she felt that Sheng Weiqiao was too young to go out in person. The people who came to greet her at the pavilion were headed by Meng Jiayuan's wife Peng. She explained that her mother-in-law had occasionally caught wind and cold during that period and had not yet recovered. She was afraid that the illness would affect Sheng Weiqiao, so she did not show up.
Peng is four years older than Meng Jiayuan, and Ruming is already in her thirties. Could it be that because of the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang, she looks far less young and delicate than that old lady from Chang'an, and her face is rosy and red because of the makeup. , already has obvious lines.
The clothes, jewelry, and hairstyle are very fashionable, and they are not outdated in the eyes of Chang'an people. She doesn't look like a noble lady. If you put it in Chang'an City, she would probably be regarded as a housekeeper of a noble family, and she is not a powerful woman. The steward's dress is brighter than hers.
However, her background is not trivial: her grandfather was Peng Pei, General Zhou's lieutenant. It is also true that after General Zhou committed suicide in compliance with the imperial edict, he tried to appease the Northeast Xinjiang army and asked for help.
Back then, Xu Zijing rose from the army and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army. At first, he was supported by Mrs. Sheng, but in the middle and later stages, it was inseparable from Peng Pei's strong support.
Later, because the battle between the King of Gaomi and the Meng family spread to the army, Xu Zijing was called into the court, granted a title of official, and exempted from military power. The Northern Xinjiang army did not welcome the arrival of Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi, and Peng Pei intervened. Through good mediation, the two were given steps to help them integrate into Northern Xinjiang.
There are rumors that the reason why Meng Boqin became the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army was not because he was more capable than Zhao Shi, but also because he allowed his eldest son to marry Peng Pei's granddaughter, which caused the original conflict between him and Zhao Shiquan. Peng Pei, whose bowl of water was flat, tilted towards him.
Therefore, even though Peng Pei passed away a few years ago, Peng's position in the Meng family is still stable.
At this moment, she smiled gracefully, not feeling ashamed at all because of her ordinary appearance and out-of-date attire. She greeted Sheng Weiqiao warmly and without flattery, "I have asked the doctor before that this product is good for the fetus. I am pregnant in Northern Xinjiang." Most women will go out of their way to eat more! Not when I’m pregnant!”
He also recommended to Xuan Yu Feng, "Old Madam, you might as well try that cup of stewed pheasant with wild ginseng. The pheasant was just caught by the soldiers, and the wild ginseng was freshly harvested at that time. It is the best way to replenish qi and nourish the body."
She did not deny that Meng was the only female family member to come out this time. Compared to her enthusiasm, the woman who came with her, who looked to be in her early twenties, seemed particularly silent, and looked a bit puzzled.
The two aunts and nephews exchanged pleasantries with Peng for a while, but she didn't say anything. Sheng Weiqiao and Xuanyu Feng were just indifferent. Quan Dang didn't notice. Peng frowned a little when he saw it. Taking advantage of the opportunity, He coughed dryly and said, "Fifth younger brother and sister, am I feeling uncomfortable?"
"...No!" The fifth brother and sister were not the wife of the Meng family, Mrs. Fu. They were shocked when they heard this. They raised the wine bottle and said, "He is stupid and won't shut up. He is afraid that the moment he opens his mouth, he will disturb the interest of you all." , Wanwang Haihan!"
He said that he would punish himself with three cups of wine as an apology.
Mrs. Fu has a beautiful appearance and rosy skin. At this moment, because the pavilion is surrounded by screens to block the wind and snow, and there is a stove inside to keep warm, it is not cold. All the female relatives have taken off their fur clothes.
She revealed a green-bottomed narrow-sleeved blouse with eagle-shaped flowers in her mouth, with goose-yellow myrobalan exposed on the lapel. She wore a medium-wide ruby gold peacock and peony belt around her waist, and wore an aqua-colored fairy skirt with auspicious cloud patterns. The hollow lotus hairpin with a cross bun gives it a feeling of Chang'an Xiaojiabiyu.
At this moment, the fear in his eyes became more and more charming.
"Mrs. Fu doesn't have to be polite." Sheng Weiqiao looked at her and said with a smile, "He saw that Mrs. Fu's eyes were sad. Is he worried about General Meng?"
