"Okay, okay," Mrs. Meng smiled and asked Mama Xu to separate them: "What do you always cry like, you will show your second brother a joke."
Just at this time, the outside servants came to pass that it was Princess Yongning who was visiting. The old lady Meng said: "Qiqi goes out to greet the princess first, and grandmother and your second brother will go later."
Meng Qiqi didn't want to move, Sheng Jiayan frowned, and she got up and walked away.
The old lady Meng shook her head and sighed: "Now she is finally obedient."
Sheng Jiayan hesitated: "Grandmother, I'm going out this time, I'm going to ask her..."
The old lady Meng smiled: "Don't worry, my grandmother will take good care of her."
Sheng Jiayan also smiled and said, "Grandson doesn't mean that."
Over there, Xie Yaohua was jumping around in the corridor of Meng Mansion: "Hey Laiyi, do you know what I brought you this time, you must have never imagined it! It's the five blessed dolls that Doro paid tribute to, don't you? I know how cute those lucky dolls are. They are all made of colored glaze, and they are crystal clear in the sun. It’s so fun! My sixth brother has begged the emperor for several times, but the emperor didn’t give them, but I robbed them and gave them to you. , I'm loyal enough? But don't be too moved, I don't care about you, I just saw how miserable you were, I just wanted to come and laugh at you."
It was rare for Meng Eqi not to choke back, she was weak: "Thank you—"
Her last voice dragged on, Xie Yaohua frowned: "Why are you looking listless again, can't you be as lively as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl! Yansha, your sister's illness is not yet healed, I Looking at the head is still dizzy!"
Yan Sha glanced at Meng Qiqi, the former walked forward in a dazed way like a corpse, and bumped into a pillar, only to know to change direction, Xie Yaohua and the others were shocked.
Yan Sha said: "Princess Yongning doesn't know anything, our second young master from Meng Mansion is going to take the township exam soon, and he has to leave Meng Mansion for a while, so my sister..."
Xie Yaohua's original expression was like this, and she nodded in agreement: "No wonder she is like this."
Xie Yaohua rushed over a few steps and patted Meng Qiqi's shoulder: "Laiyi, it's a good thing, just when your second brother is away, let's go out to play together? I know the hot spring palace in the suburbs of Beijing is very good, as long as we Speak up, the royal father will allow us to live in the third or fourth place, how about it!?”
Meng Eqi pouted and shook his head: "No, I have to practice copybooks, otherwise my second brother will scold me when he sees that I didn't do it."
"Just let your maid copy it for you! Anyway, your second brother won't know if you copied it or not. In a month's time, the spring will begin, and the hot springs will not be suitable for you to go to, so why don't you go now? When? Go to come and go."
Meng Qiqi was very firm this time: "No! I will wait for my second brother to come back at home obediently!"
Xie Yaohua threw his hand away angrily: "You are so boring, you will know about your second brother and second brother at night, then you are bored in the house by yourself, I finally went out of the palace to have some fun. already."
Xie Yaohua stopped, turned around and left. Meng Eqi stood there and didn't move, Yan Sha was uneasy, she took a few steps forward and asked, "Sister, are you really going to stop Princess Yongning? The servant is worried..."
"Has Ayan gone?" Meng Eqi suddenly asked in a low voice.
Yan Sha was stunned for a moment, then turned her head slightly, and out of the corner of her eye caught a shadow of a figure at the corner. She didn't know how long she had been standing there. No wonder Meng Qiqi deliberately behaved so well, but it turned out that she was being stared at. Yan Sha held back her smile and said loudly, "Sister is diligent in studying and practicing hard. When the second young master comes back, I will definitely reward you."
Meng Qiqi pretended to say 'um', then took Yansha away.
She has listened to Sheng Jiayan's footsteps for thousands of years, and she knows how far he is from her with her eyes closed, and she wants to hear her Meng Qiqi's corner! Hum, dreaming!
At the corner, A Rong stood behind Sheng Jiayan and said with a smile: "Young master can now leave with confidence."
"She found us." Sheng Jiayan pursed his lips, and his handsome face showed a touch of coldness, then he turned his head, and his cold eyes shot at A Rong and Bai Gao behind him: "You pushed me so forward, all of them were taken She saw it."
A Rong waved his hand innocently: "It's not me." He turned back and pointed at Bai Gao, who only reached his waist: "It was his belly that pushed me out, and I pushed the young master."
Sheng Jiayan flicked his sleeves and left, A Rong followed, Bai Gao pointed at himself with an inexplicable expression: "Me?!"
The next day, Meng Qiqi bid farewell to Sheng Jiayan in reluctant tears. The old lady Meng took all the family members in the mansion to see him off at the gate, and Meng Eqi watched him ride away on a tall horse, and felt a lot for a while.
Unexpectedly, the high-cold and abstinent His Majesty the King of Hell also has this day, haha!
As soon as Sheng Jiayan left on his front foot, Meng Qiqi urged Yansha on his back foot: "Hurry up and pack your bags."
"Ah!?" Yan Sha's eyes widened: "Sister! Absolutely not, if the second young master finds out that we will follow secretly..."
"Who is going with him?" Meng Eqi rolled her eyes: "I asked you to pack your bags. I'm going to follow in Xie Cui's footsteps and go to the hot springs in the suburbs of Beijing!"
Yan Sha looked at her sister's secretly happy appearance, and was very doubtful whether the sister who was crying to death or not was herself.
Meng Eqi jumped in front of him, and when he passed a pavilion in the garden of Meng's house, he saw two people standing inside.
One is her eldest sister Meng Yihui, and the other is Meng Qiqi's eldest aunt Yushi.
Yu Shi's face was full of sadness, and she said to Meng Yihui Xiaozhi with affection: "Don't think about that son of the Minister of Rites, I don't think he is a good person, otherwise why are you two secretly private? Will the delivered letter be taken away by her? Maybe the son of the Minister of Rites will use it to please the girls from the Qing family in Dali Temple and laugh at you together. Huier, you have always been prudent and smart. I understand. This incident has brought shame to the Meng family, and your reputation has been damaged. Your grandmother has already criticized it. Let me take care of you. There are so many good men, why should you only be greedy for Qi Xianyuan alone? ?"
Meng Yihui was speechless and lowered her head very low.
Yu Shi sighed: "The child of Qin Yue is a sincere person, and he will never have the kind of crooked thoughts of the Qi family. This time Young Master Qin invites you to go out to play, you should agree to it. Although he is a military general, he may not know in the future. To go to the battlefield, it is true that the Qi family is not as secure as a civil official, but the Qin family has made great achievements in battle, and his uncle is Commander Chi, the personal guard in front of the emperor. In addition to the relationship between your third sister, you Are you afraid of losing out if you marry and be a regular wife?"
Meng Yihui wore a couple-colored woven robe today, with a moon-white quilt skirt, and a string of sparkling emeralds on her hands. She pursed her lips, lowered her head and looked like she didn't want to talk much, her thin white face was cold and charming.
Meng Eqi had indeed not seen her for a few days, but when she saw her like this today, she felt that Meng Yihui was a little thin. Meng Qiqi felt that the Yu family was very reasonable. Compared with a sour scholar like Qi Xianyuan, Qin Yue was less thoughtful, and the relatives at home were simple, so Meng Yihui would not be too hard to pass.
It's a pity that Qi Xieyuan, the son of the Minister of Rites, is probably the jewel in Meng Yihui's heart, so Meng Eqi guesses that she will be in trouble. It's no wonder that Meng Yihui doesn't look down on Qin Yue. One is a talented girl who raised herself in the stack of books, and the other is a major general who dances well. No matter how they match up, they are not harmonious.
It wasn't just Meng Eqi who thought so, Meng Yihui probably thought so too, she just heard her say softly: "It's not that my daughter doesn't respond to that Young Master Qin, it's just that my daughter is still feeling unwell recently, so I don't want to go out with her sick face, so as not to get hurt. I beg your mother's forgiveness."
Seeing Meng Yihui's determined look of not seeing Qin Yue, Mrs. Yu sighed secretly, she really had no choice, so she let Meng Yihui go.
Meng Qiqi tiptoed and dragged Yan Sha away, and when she could not see Meng Yihui and the others, Meng Qiqi hurriedly instructed Yan Sha: "Go to Qin Mansion to deliver the letter, and my elder sister invited Qin Gongzi to the Beijing suburban horse farm tomorrow. Please come early."
Yan Sha was puzzled: "Sister, we won't go to the hot spring!?"
"Oh, what kind of hot spring to soak in? It's related to the future of the eldest sister. I can't let them miss such a good fate. Don't you think that Brother Qin and my eldest sister are a good match? "
Yan Sha tried her best to recall Qin Yue's face, her eclectic attire, the mighty power of drawing swords and knives at every turn, and thinking about the eldest sister's weak Liu Fuhua, writing poems to the moon and crying to flowers. She shook her head honestly: "It's not a good match, sister."
"Either you don't understand! If the eldest sister still has no feelings for Young Master Qin after the two of them meet, then I will not participate in this matter, but before that, I must urge them to meet for at least a few words. Yes! This sister will explain it to you in detail later, and now you can go to run errands and spread the word, I will go to the eldest sister's place."
Yan Sha was pushed out by Meng Eqi, and she turned around and went to Meng Yihui's yard.
When she went, Meng Yihui hadn't come back, so Meng Eqi was pacing back and forth in the yard. When she saw Meng Yihui's shadow, she pretended to be sad and stood in the yard with a sad face.
"Third sister?" Meng Yihui smiled a little when she saw her.
"Eldest sister," Meng Eqi greeted her: "I heard that you are not well recently, so I came to see you specially. I haven't seen the eldest sister for a long time, and the second and fourth sisters are always fighting, and no one has come to persuade us not to make noise. already."
Meng Eqi shook Meng Yihui's hand coquettishly, and the latter led her into the room with a smile, and asked the maid to bring Meng Eqi her favorite pastries: "You haven't taken care of your own body yet, still thinking about it. Come to see me, I have nothing to do, but you, you have to pay more attention."
Meng Qiqi nodded obediently and agreed, she picked up a piece of red bean cake, remembered her intention, suppressed her appetite and put the cake back on the plate, and sighed heavily.
Meng Yihui was amused by her behavior: "I didn't learn it at my age, but I learned to sigh? What's wrong with a frown, and the red bean cake that I usually like to eat doesn't move anymore."
