The Mei Mansion is not as magnificent as the East Palace and Zhao Zaifu Mansion, but the mansion has mountains, stones, green lakes, flowers and trees, but it is more refined.
Hua Yan entered the Mei Mansion with Young Mistress Mei, talking and admiring the scenery, when she came to the second gate, she saw a group of people from Mei Mansion surrounded by a kind old lady waiting there.
Although the old lady was well maintained, her hair was already completely white, which betrayed her age.
The old lady was accompanied by several very charming ladies and several young ladies who seemed to be about the same age as her.
Young Mistress Mei immediately said, "That's my grandmother. Her old man never steps out to pick up people. You are the first one."
Huayan thought to herself that this was the mother-in-law of the emperor and Marquis Wuwei, and the grandmother of Yunchi and Su Zizhan, no matter her seniority or status, she should not come out to welcome her, after all she is still a princess who has not married into the East Palace. This is really a big face.
She felt in her heart that today would be difficult, so she nodded.
All the people in Mei Mansion waited to see Hua Yan who was walking from a distance, her face was clear and beautiful, her posture was leisurely, light and elegant. Looking at it like this, I can't help being surprised in comparison to the eldest and youngest mistress of Meifu.
Young Mistress Mei is the most outstanding daughter of the Wang family. In this capital, considering her age, she was the only one back then. There are few people with better temperament and charm than her. She was comparable to Zhao Qingxi today. of.
But Lin'an Huayan, looking idle and careless, makes people feel relaxed and happy no matter how they look at it.
Mrs. Mei's old eyes gradually appeared and then disappeared.
Huayan has long been accustomed to the sight of her like the light from the sun. She followed Mrs. Mei to a group of people waiting around, and Fushen bowed to Mrs. Mei, "Mrs. Lao welcomes you, I'm really ashamed and dare not take it seriously, Lin'an is very polite."
Mrs. Mei received her obeisance, and then reached out to support her herself, with a kind smile on her face like a blooming flower, and said repeatedly, "Okay, my grandson-in-law, I have long wanted to see you, I hope After a while, I finally saw it today."
Huayan got up helplessly, and said with a smile, "Madam, I haven't married into the East Palace yet, and now I only have a decree to marry me, so I can't do it right. It's too early for you to call me that, and the juniors don't dare to accept it."
Mrs. Mei smiled and squeezed her hand tightly, "It's not too early, the Crown Prince came to visit yesterday and mentioned your marriage, saying that it must be settled before the end of this year, and there will be no mistakes."
Huayan scolded Yunchi a hundred and eighty times in her heart, and then said with a smile, "It's just beginning to summer now, and there's still half a year before the end of the year. It's very early."
Mrs. Mei laughed, "My daughter's family has reached the age of marriage, but you are still reluctant to let your parents not rush to marry." After finishing speaking, she smiled and pulled her, and personally introduced her to the family. ladies and gentlemen.
With Huayan's current status, except for Mrs. Mei, she doesn't need to greet others.
The Mei family has six wives, the third is from the concubine, and the third is from the concubine. Mr. Mei and the old lady have three sons and two daughters. Mistress Mei is the eldest daughter-in-law. To marry a wife, there are two young ladies, one is married and the other is now in her boudoir.
After Huayan got to know each other, the old lady took her to the Fushou Garden where the old lady lived.
After a group of people came and went and chatted with Huayan lively, the old lady smiled and said to a maidservant beside her, "Minger, you go to the front and ask someone has come, old thing Why haven't you come here?"
The servant girl named Er felt as if she should be, and went immediately.
Huayan thought about how the old man, the head of the Mei clan, could really be suppressed by Yun Chi after seeing him in Chunhongguan, and persuaded the whole family of the Mei family to treat her so affectionately. After seeing her, she was so angry that she blew her beard and stared at her, wishing she could hand her a sword to wipe her neck, she was really confused now, since she came today, she must see her again.
Not long after, that maidservant came back and said with a smile, "The old man is teaching Young Master Yu Er in the study."
"Yeah." The old lady frowned, "What did Yu'er do again?"
Ming'er took a look at Huayan and hesitated.
Mrs. Mei smiled and said kindly, "Let's talk, the Crown Princess is not an outsider."
Ming'er immediately said, "Master Yu Er heard that Zhao Zaifu and his wife were going to choose a husband-in-law for Miss Zhao in the near future. When he got the news, he immediately went to find the old man. The old man got angry when he heard about it, and told him not to be a toad and want to eat swan meat. With his virtue, he won't go to Zhao Zaifu to lose that old face for him."
Mrs. Mei was stunned when she heard that, "Miss Zhao Fu wants to choose a son-in-law."
Ming'er nodded, "Exactly."
Mrs. Mei looked at the wives on the left and right, "Have you heard?"
The older lady frowned and nodded, "Going back to mother, my daughter-in-law also heard about it early this morning. Unbelievably, Brother Yu has such thoughts. It's because my daughter-in-law didn't teach him well."
Mrs. Mei waved her hand, "It's not your fault, his monkey-like virtues were learned from Lu Zhiling when he was young." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered hearing that Huayan herself said that she liked Lu Zhiling. Xiang Huayan.
Huayan received Mrs. Mei's gaze, smiled at her frankly, and said nothing.
Mrs. Mei thought for a while, and said, "Miss Zhao's mansion chooses a son-in-law. With her appearance and talent, she must choose one of the best sons in the capital. Our Brother Yu will not be valued by Zhao Zaifu. He If you can’t do it, you can’t do it, the old man is right, I won’t go to Mrs. Zhao to make a fuss.”
The eldest lady couldn't sit still and stood up, "Mother, I'll go ahead and have a look, he's used to messing around, and he made father-in-law mad for no reason."
Mrs. Mei shook her head, "His old bone, how could he be so easily pissed off? You'd better not go, lest that old bastard get angry and blame you."
The eldest lady could only sit back again.
Huayan was drinking tea, thinking about whether Zhao Qingxi's choice of son-in-law was real or false. She didn't wait until the title of the quasi-princess on her head was taken off and she had the opportunity to marry into the East Palace.
Obviously she likes Yunchi.
After this little episode, all the people in the room stopped talking and laughing as before, and seemed to be more concerned.
After sitting for two more teas, Ming'er was sent out to inquire again, and got the news that the old man had arrived with Mr. Yuer.
Huayan would also like to meet this person who was brought up by Mrs. Mei and said to be spoiled by Lu Zhiling since childhood.
Not long after, the Mei patriarch walked in with a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old. Old man Mei's complexion was not good, and the young man's complexion seemed to be extremely bad.
Huayan looked at him, her eyebrows were the color of jade, and the ink was dyed like a painting. She was wearing a brocade robe the color of spring tea. There were two large camellias embroidered on the corner of the robe. The camellias were embroidered very flamboyantly. The walking posture is not in harmony with the appearance, but it is full of vigor and youth.
Huayan admired his clothes, attire, and posture from a different angle, and moved the shadow of Zhao Qingxi that he had seen that day to his side in her mind, and she really felt that it was no wonder that Mr. Mei and Mrs. Mei disagreed. No one can bring such two people together.
Zhao Qingxi is gentle and graceful, dignified and virtuous, with outstanding boudoir etiquette, she can be called a lady of good looks.
But this Young Master Yu, his beauty and youthful demeanor should not be matched by someone like Zhao Qingxi, it really doesn't match.
Everyone stood up to greet Mr. Mei.
Hua Yan also stood up, this is the Mei Mansion, not Chun Hong Guan, she doesn't know anything, this junior ceremony is also to be seen.
Mr. Mei stared at Huayan for a long time, then snorted through his nostrils, "Excuse me."
Huayan smiled, thinking that it seems that the old man has not forgotten what happened that day, since he has not, it is easy to say.
After Mei Shuyu entered the room, the room was full of people, he saw Huayan at a glance, and stared at her for a moment, until his mother coughed, he came back to his senses, stepped forward two steps, and asked carelessly , "Grandma, who is this girl?"
He didn't seem to know that Huayan came to Meifu as a guest today, so he asked straightforwardly.
Mrs. Mei frowned, and scolded dissatisfiedly, "Yu'er, how could you be so abrupt? This is the Crown Princess."
"Prince Concubine" Mei Shuyu opened her eyes wide, "The beauty of Lin'an doesn't like the prince's cousin, but likes Lu Zhiling, the woman who openly expresses her feelings and makes troubles all over the city."
Clan Chief Mei's already ugly face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
Mrs. Mei was speechless for a while.
All the people in the room, because the veil that was deliberately created to forget and ignore was lifted, no one spoke, and the atmosphere instantly condensed.
Huayan laughed happily, nodded to Mei Shuyu, and said with a smile, "Master Yu Er is right, I don't like His Royal Highness, but Lu Shizi."
Mei Shuyu was taken aback by her smile, and blurted out, "What do you like about Lu Zhiling?"
Hua Yan said with a smile, "Fantasy and unrestrained, unrestrained."
Mei Shuyu suddenly slapped her thigh, took another step forward, stared at her and said, "I have what he has, you can choose another person to like." After saying that, his eyes were as bright as nebula, "Look carefully Me, in terms of appearance, I am no worse than Lu Zhiling, in terms of chic, I am also a person who can ride a horse and laugh at the wind and moon, and in terms of freedom, I am also a person who doesn't like rules and restraints, and only likes freedom and no one to control him."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned, and many of them opened their eyes wide open.
Huayan was also taken aback for a moment, then laughed, looked up at him, and said brightly, "Don't you like Miss Zhao Fu and want to marry her?"
Mei Shuyu immediately said seriously, "That's because I haven't seen you, and now I've changed my mind."
