Meng Xiuyuan was not at all surprised by the arrival of Lin Chujiu and Su Cha, but he was surprised by Lin Chujiu's dress.
Although he had seen Lin Chujiu before, and he had not seen Lin Chujiu dressed up, but her identity was there, no matter how simple it was, it would not be so simple. Today's little girl's dress is really different from the Lin Chujiu in Meng Xiuyuan's impression.
In his impression, Lin Chujiu has always been a capable and neat woman, and because she was born gorgeous, no matter what clothes are worn on Lin Chujiu's body, it will be more extravagant. Today's pink, fresh and simple dress, It doesn't look like Lin Chujiu at all.
No matter how Meng Xiuyuan looked at it, he felt that it was against the peace. Of course it's not ugly, at least it's not like Lin Chujiu used to be, who can't wear pink clothes, but she dresses herself up to be soft and pink.
"Princess's dress is so... chic." Meng Xiuyuan hesitated for a while before saying this comment.
"If you don't look good, you don't look good, you don't need to be so careful." Lin Chujiu knew that she didn't look good in pink and tender clothes, so she didn't care about other people's comments.
"It's not ugly, just not used to it." Meng Xiuyuan ignored Su Cha's cold eyes and continued to greet Lin Chujiu. I don't know if it's because he doesn't talk too much, or what, Meng Xiuyuan's voice is hoarse, and he speaks very slowly. Every word he speaks is like the whisper of a lover, and the heart is numb. , coupled with Meng Xiuyuan's focused and serious eyes, Su Cha felt that Meng Xiuyuan's eyes when looking at Lin Chujiu were unusual.
Sorry!
He knew that he shouldn't agree to come to see Meng Xiuyuan with Lin Chujiu. If Tianyao knew, he would probably be cramped and skinned by Tianyao.
Su Cha really wanted to step forward and interrupt the conversation between Meng Xiuyuan and Lin Chujiu, but Su Cha was stunned.
This time, Su Cha could not interrupt even if she wanted to, so she could only sit down and drink the tea slowly, while monitoring Meng Xiuyuan.
"Meng Gongzi, to be honest, I came here to ask you for help this time." Lin Chujiu said straight to the point, Meng Xiuyuan didn't care at all, he put down the teacup and said, "What's the matter? Princess Xiao, please tell me, as long as I can Help me and I won't say no."
He stayed in the capital because he was afraid that Lin Chujiu would be in danger. Although there was not much he could do, Wenchang's Meng family's name was there, and it was always no problem to save Lin Chujiu's life at a critical time.
"I want to ask Young Master Meng for information about the Zhang family of the Empire, may I?" Lin Chujiu knew that his request was a bit too much. The Central Empire was very vigilant against the Dongwen and Four Kingdoms, and it was not easy to inquire about the Empire.
Lin Chujiu had already planned to be rejected by Meng Xiuyuan and throw another matter, but he didn't want Meng Xiuyuan to think for a moment, so he opened his mouth and said, "The Zhang family and the Meng family have similar positions in the Central Empire, and they are both second only to the Seventh Congress. The existence of the aristocratic family, but the Meng family is in the text, and the Zhang family is in the business. The Zhang family is rich enough to rival the country, although it is not comparable to the seven great families of the empire, but it is also an existence that cannot be underestimated in the central empire.
In recent years, the Meng family has been tepid, but the Zhang family is gaining momentum, and there is a faint trend of becoming a first-class family and replacing the status of the Lin family. "
Meng Xiuyuan spoke very slowly and seriously, fearing that Lin Chujiu would not understand the status of the Zhang family, he thought about it and added: "Twenty years ago, the Zhang family donated half of the family money to the Empress Dowager's birthday. The emperor sent a pair of twin sisters into the palace at the same time. The twin sisters were deeply favored by the emperor, and they have been favored for 20 years. The eighth prince born to the sister is seventeen years old this year, and is quite popular with the emperor. The emperor did not establish a prince. Now, the Eighth Prince is also competitive."
At the end, Meng Xiuyuan looked at Lin Chujiu worriedly, his deep eyes seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Lin Chujiu didn't realize it, and smiled indifferently: "It looks like I've gotten into a behemoth." With the Zhang family's worth, before she can take action, the other party will take action first.
"It's not a giant, but it's just a relationship with the royal family. Although the imperial power is getting heavier and stronger, the power in the central imperial family is still very large. Even the emperor has to sell the face of the four families of Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong and Xiling."
The seven great masters of the Central Empire are Dongyang, Northern Tang, Nanrong, Xiling and Hua, Tang and Lin. The first four are also the top of the seven families, known as the four dragon legs of the Central Empire. The place where the family lived is exactly the four directions of the east, south, west and north of the central empire, enclosing the capital in the middle.
"I have no friendship with the people from the Seven Great Families of the Central Empire." The Zhang Family in the Empire is a giant to them, but if someone from the Seven Great Families comes forward to train them, that is, a matter of one sentence, they can make the Zhang Family back down, but the problem is Now, Lin Chujiu doesn't have that ability, and has something to do with the Seventh Family.
Although, very reluctantly... She may have something to do with the Lin family in the empire, but let's not say whether the Lin family will help her inexplicable outsider, just saying that the Zhang family is very likely to squeeze the Lin family out of the status of the seven great families is enough to show that Zhang The strength of the family is comparable to that of the Lin family, and the Zhang family will not sell the Lin family's face.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Xiuyuan said, "The Meng family is related by marriage to the four great masters of Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong, and Xiling. I will write to ask, maybe there will be a way."
The Meng family is a scholarly family, and the daughters they teach are all knowledgeable and reasonable, and they are very popular among the big families. The big families like Dongyang love their children, and they find the daughter of the Meng family as a wife, but...
Meng Xiuyuan was not a direct branch of the Meng family of the empire, and Wenchang's Meng family's position in the family was already embarrassing. Even if he wrote a letter back, it might not be effective, so he hesitated.
"You don't have to be so troublesome. Strong dragons don't overwhelm snakes. This is Dongwen. Even if the Zhang family in the empire is arrogant, they must have a degree." Although Lin Chu didn't know the status of Wenchang and Meng's family in the central empire, she didn't want to owe Meng Xiuyuan so much. A big favor, I refused without even thinking about it.
Meng Xiuyuan knew his own position in the main family, so he didn't say any more, he just persuaded: "The Zhang family has become more and more stubborn in recent years, and they have to compare their money with each other, so they can't afford to lose the slightest." Meng Xiuyuan did not persuade Lin Chujiu to give in. I just hope that Lin Chujiu can learn more about the Zhang family's behavior, so as not to suffer a big loss.
"Don't worry, I have a plan in my heart." Lin Chujiu was calm and confident, without the slightest trace of panic and unease, Meng Xiu felt a little better when he saw this.
However, Meng Xiuyuan still felt very guilty for not being able to help, so when Lin Chujiu asked him to help him write an affectionate essay, Meng Xiuyuan agreed without hesitation. Jiu repeatedly sighed: Meng Gongzi is really a good person.
She knew that the literati were so high-minded that they would not easily give ghostwriting, especially a young boy like Meng Xiuyuan who became famous...
