Old Master Mei has gone, and although Zhao Qingxi hasn't sent a funeral to Zaifu Zhao yet, something like this happened to Old Master Mei. Since she and Mei Shuyu are destined for life, naturally they have to come to see each other, even if there is a spirit in her house.
So, early in the morning, she ordered someone to take care of the house, and came to Mei's mansion one step later than Mei Shuyu.
Seeing her coming, the housekeeper of the Mei Mansion did not dare to underestimate her, nor did he dare to entrust her to her. He must have made a fuss in front of Zhao Zaifu's mourning hall a few days ago. The old man had acquiesced in this granddaughter-in-law before his death, and now she came to express condolences, which was also in her rightful place, and if she didn't come, it would make people feel that she didn't care about Mei Shuyu, otherwise she wouldn't have come to express condolences.
The housekeeper of the Mei Mansion respectfully responded to Zhao Qingxi's entry into the mansion, and at the same time sent someone to pass the message inside.
When everyone in front of the mourning hall heard that Zhao Qingxi was coming, they all looked at Mei Shuyu in unison.
Mei Shuyu was so sad that she cried outside, but now in front of the mourning hall, she saw Mr. Mei who was sleeping like a sleeping man, but it was true as he said, so she didn't cry for him.
He stood upright in front of the mourning hall, and even when people reported that Zhao Qingxi was coming, countless people looked at him, but he didn't hear it for a while.
The eldest lady looked at her second son, then at the eldest mistress, and immediately said, "You go to meet Miss Zhao yourself."
The eldest grandma nodded. Zhao Qingxi is the second younger sibling in the future. She is the concubine raised by Zhao Zaifu since she was a child. She is talented all over the capital. She had guessed earlier that she would not end up in the East Palace.
She also admired her brother-in-law very much, no matter how she looked at it, Miss Zhao and her brother-in-law were not in the same way. Unexpectedly, after being abducted by his brother-in-law, the two really became a person in the same way.
She came to the door, and as the sister-in-law, she won in person, which also represented the Mei Manor's recognition of her attitude. The relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law had to be settled early, since they are both smart people anyway.
Zhao Qingxi has lost a lot of weight these days, her eyes are red, and the obviously elegant and dignified person has an unbearable attitude. After seeing the young lady come to win in person, she also knows that Meifu recognizes her. The young mistress saluted, and then said, "I'm here to express my condolences to the old man."
The eldest young mistress was from a famous family, she was exquisite, she quickly reached out to hold her hand, and said with red and swollen eyes, "I never thought, I don't know who is so wicked, first harmed Zaifu, and now grandpa."
Zhao Qingxi said softly, "His Royal Highness will always find out."
Young Mistress Mei nodded, and walked inside with her hand, "Before you came, the second brother just came back and was in the mourning hall."
Zhao Qingxi nodded, she ordered someone to inquire before she came, and Mei Shuyu came back.
Young Mistress Mei thought for a while, and said cryptically and artfully, "Actually, outsiders only hear grandfather beating and scolding my second younger brother, but it's not the case. It's been a few years since I married into Mei's mansion. Grandpa There are many times of mobilization, but he never hit him once. In fact, if my grandfather really fights, he can still beat him. To put it bluntly, grandfather is still reluctant, saying that he is worthless, but in fact he likes his temperament the most."
Zhao Qingxi is a smart person, after hearing this, he understood that Mr. Mei loves Mei Shuyu the most, and likes him the most. On the other hand, now that Mr. Mei has an accident, Mei Shuyu should be the saddest person now.
When she was most sad, he was there, and now, she is here.
Therefore, she understood what Mistress Mei meant, and she was not shy, and said in a low voice, "Let me accompany the second son to kowtow to the old man a few times."
In this case, Mei Shuyu should like to be relieved.
Young Mistress Mei nodded, patted her hand and said, "The old man must be very happy in the spirit of heaven." After finishing speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "That day, when I heard that you and your second younger brother were destined for life, the old man drank a few extra glasses of wine at night. .”
it means happy
Zhao Qingxi accepted Young Mistress Mei's affection, "Thank you Mistress Mei for letting me know."
Young Mistress Mei immediately said, "Although you and your second brother have not yet engaged in three matches and six engagements, His Royal Highness said that the Emperor will be well and the Queen Mother will be in a better mood, so I ask the Queen Mother to marry you and your second brother. With His Royal Highness You and the second brother are sure about this. Although it is too early to call me sister-in-law, you should call me sister first, otherwise it will be too unfamiliar."
Zhao Qingxi is as good as others, "Sister."
Young Mistress Mei also called out, "Sister."
The two of them were talking and came to the mourning hall. At this time, it was not known whether the people in Mei Mansion stopped crying because of Mei Shuyu standing there, or because they heard that Zhao Qingxi was coming. Although countless people gathered in front of the mourning hall, Quite quiet.
As soon as Zhao Qingxi came, everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Who would have thought that this former No. 1 flower in the capital would fall into the hands of the second son who the old man often scolded as a bastard? Zhao Qingxi's talent and reputation, she can be the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan, and it is reasonable to say that she would not marry the second son .
This is really the skill of the second son, and it is also a blessing.
Zhao Qingxi greeted the elders of the Mei Mansion first. After Mrs. Mei fainted yesterday, she couldn't accept it for a while and was still asleep. Now the eldest lady, who is Mei Shuyu's mother, is in front of the mourning hall.
The eldest lady never dared to think about this second daughter-in-law, and now she is naturally satisfied with everything, not looking at the late Zhao Zaifu, only looking at her, even if their family couldn't ask for it. So, when she saw the ceremony, he stepped forward to support her with his own hands, held her hand and did not let go, and said with red eyes, "I knew you would come. The old man said earlier that the emperor in the palace will be well. It's over, please come over to the mansion, I didn't think about it," she said, crying, "The old man suddenly went like this."
Zhao Qingxi also felt uncomfortable. Her father and the old man were on the same page for only a few days. She also shed tears and said in a low voice, "It just so happens that my father and the old man have a companion, so they won't be lonely on the road."
The eldest lady cried and said, "That's true, I can only be so relieved, I don't know who deserves to be killed, sooner or later His Royal Highness will find out, and he will not be spared."
Zhao Qingxi nodded, "Of course it's not forgiving."
While talking like this, Mei Shuyu also heard it. He turned around and looked at Zhao Qingxi with red eyes. The blood red in his eyes made Zhao Qingxi jump.
The eldest lady let go of her hand and signaled Zhao Qingxi to go over.
Zhao Qingxi didn't hold back, she walked up to Mei Shuyu, looked at his appearance, with so many people staring at him, it was hard to hold his hand to comfort him, so she stood beside him and whispered, "I'll come and talk to you Kowtow a few times in front of the old man together, and please leave the old man at ease, I will take good care of you in the future."
Mei Shuyu's heart was warmed by her words, she nodded, and gave a hoarse "um", Zhao Qingxi couldn't hold his hand, after all, it was his daughter's house, so he couldn't be too aggressive in front of others, but he already had a reputation as a jerk , So, it was useful at this time, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Qingxi's hand, and happily pulled her to kneel in front of Mr. Mei's coffin.
Zhao Qingxi has followed the rules and etiquette for more than ten years. After getting along with Mei Shuyu, she felt that there is nothing wrong with letting go of etiquette sometimes. .
Mei Shuyu dared to do things she didn't dare to do, which made her quite fond of them. After she came, she wanted to hold his hand.
So, she obediently leaned on Mei Shuyu, let her hold hands, and knelt down in front of Mr. Mei's coffin.
The eldest lady's eyes widened, so did Young Mistress Mei's eyes, and everyone's eyes widened. In fact, ever since the two decided to live their lives together, they wanted to know what it was like for the two of them to get along. No matter what the rumors said, it was not as good as seeing it with their own eyes.
Now, seeing it with my own eyes, I thought to myself, it turned out to be like this.
Looking at the two in this way, they are still a very good match. Why didn't you think that the two had complementary personalities and were a good match before
Mei Shuyu and Zhao Qingxi kowtowed a few times, and then did not get up immediately. Mei Shuyu took the paper money and handed it to Zhao Qingxi. Zhao Qingxi threw it into the brazier and watched the paper money burn to ashes.
The two knelt for a long time, but Mei Shuyu was afraid that she would break Zhao Qingxi's knee. These days, she also knelt a lot in front of Zhao Zaifu's mourning hall, so she was pulled up.
The two stood in front of the mourning hall for a while, and Mei Shuyu said, "I'll take you home."
Zhao Qingxi shook his head immediately, "How can you go away, I'll just go back by myself."
Mei Shuyu said in a low voice, "The old man once said that the men of the Mei family should treat women well. He hasn't left yet, but he is standing in this mourning hall and looking at me. Beijing is so restless. If I don't Send you back, he can probably get up and beat me to death."
Zhao Qingxi was speechless for a moment.
The eldest lady is very transparent. Although it was sad that Master Mei had gone, her son and Zhao Qingxi got along so well, which made her feel relieved, and she said, "He's right, he's angry with his father when he stays here. Let her take you home."
Now that the eldest lady had spoken, Zhao Qingxi said nothing, and nodded to Mei Shuyu.
After Mei Shuyu sent Zhao Qingxi back to the mansion, he went back to the Mei mansion to thoroughly investigate who Mr. Mei had been in contact with, what he had eaten, and what things he had touched in the past forty-nine days. Is there anyone in the Mei manor who is abnormal.
Although I know that maybe like the Zhao Mansion, nothing can be found out, and the perpetrators are buried too deep, but what should be investigated must be investigated.
When Yun Chi came, Mei Shuyu was conducting a drastic investigation, and now Mei's mansion is his responsibility.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Mei Mansion yesterday, but today he officially came to offer his condolences. Everyone in the Mei Mansion waited for the news, and they were no longer in a mess like yesterday, they all respectfully welcomed Yun Chi into the mansion.
After Yun Chi and An Shuli came to the mourning hall to express their condolences, they asked Mei Shuyu about the progress of the thorough investigation.
Mei Shuyu shook her head with bloodshot eyes, "I'm afraid it's the same as the Zhao Mansion. It won't be found out for a while. The thief hides too deeply."
He still doesn't know that An Shuli gambled with the Marquis of Wuwei. He already knew that the Empress and Mrs. Marquis of Wuwei died from the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion. It was the Marquis of Wuwei who used the Phoenix tree. With the death of Mr. Mei, he could rush to the East Palace and kill Marquis Wuwei at this time.
Yun Chi saw that he had been ruined overnight, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "We will find out."
Mei Shuyu looked at Yun Chi, nodded, and also realized that something was wrong with Yun Chi, "Cousin Prince, besides the death of grandfather, did something else happen?"
"Last night, Lord Jing discovered the Heart-eating Gu, but there is no danger to his life for the time being, so it's not a big deal." Yun Chi's voice was flat, and he never mentioned what An Shiqi had reported.
Mei Shuyu was taken aback, "The heart-eating Gu that the emperor has possessed"
"Well, someone has been sent to invite Hua Zhuo."
Mei Shuyu didn't ask any more questions, but still felt that something was wrong, he said, "Grandfather knows that I am unfilial, even if I want to guard his spirit, he probably won't be happy to see me use me to guard his spirit." When Qi replaced me, I saw that he didn't seem to be doing well, and he was holding on, so I'd better go to the Jinglu Bingma Camp, and after seven days, when my grandfather died, I would come back to see him off."
Yun Chi looked at him, "Are you sure?"
Mei Shuyu nodded, "Even if my grandfather is gone, I don't want me to guard him every day and do nothing. I was unfilial when he was alive, and I will pretend to be unfilial after he dies. I don't worry about Jinglu soldiers and horses camp, cousin Since you handed it over to me, I can't ignore it."
"Okay, let's go." Yun Chi nodded.
Seeing Yun Chi nodding, Mei Shuyu didn't say anything more, and informed the eldest lady.
The eldest lady knew that it was not easy for the emperor, the princess, Zhao Zaifu, and Mr. Mei to have accidents one after another, so she didn't dare to stop Mei Shuyu and asked him if he was in danger. Mei Shuyu shook her head, and she assured him to be careful, even for the sake of Miss Zhao , You have to take care of yourself too. Mei Shuyu nodded, and the eldest lady told him not to worry, Mei Shuyan would be back within a day at most. Mei Shuyu knew about this, and his eldest brother came back, which was why he was relieved to go to the Jinglu Military and Horse Camp again.
So, he rode out of the capital soon.
Mei Shuyu left, and the people of Mei Manor waited for Mei Shuyan to come back. Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was heard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent it to Mei Shuyan late at night yesterday, but Mei Shuyan did not come back until late at night.
It stands to reason that Zhaoyuan County is 500 miles away from the capital city, and it can be reached in the evening on a fast horse, but it is still late at night. The people in Mei Mansion couldn't sit still anymore, the eldest lady was worried and sent someone to the East Palace.
