Chapter 19: Capture the King First
"Fortunately, they don't trust me, they have always looked after me since I was a child, and they have stood in my way. If not, I would have gone to see my own mother long ago." Meng Shisan Following Meng Renping's joke, he complained in a nonchalant manner.
Meng Renping had a lump in his throat, raised his fist to his mouth, and cleared his throat unnaturally: "Cough!"
"Brother has a cold too?"
"Yao Yao.”
Meng Renping's call made him feel helpless, but Meng Shisan smiled slowly.
The silver teeth are slightly exposed, the eyebrows are curved, and the eyes seem to be filled with stars. The face is as white as transparent and makes it look like the morning sun. It is fresh and elegant, with no disease at all, and it is full of joy and contentment. There is a dazzling tenacity coming from the bones.
Teach him to stare blankly.
At this moment, he truly realized that he did not understand the eldest sister in front of him.
In fact, not only him, but also his grandparents, father, mother, uncles and aunts, all of them have never really known the temperament and conduct of his eldest sister.
In the past fifteen years, they have barely known anything about their eldest sister's words and deeds, let alone understanding them.
Whether it is appearance, character, or the thing in front of me, I have recovered from countless serious illnesses and walked on the edge of life and death many times, but I have always been able to persevere and come out with a calm and gentle expression. Face, continue to face this world that has been unfriendly to her since she was a child.
They are all complete strangers.
Moreover, in terms of appearance alone, the eldest sister is better than the second sister. In terms of character, the eldest sister is more suitable for a higher position than the second sister.
If it weren’t for her illness, even if the eldest sister would not marry into the East Palace or compete for the honor of the Middle Palace, by virtue of whether she was born with it or acquired, she would be able to get into trouble. , On the contrary, when encountering Ling, with a sick body and strong ambition, it is more than enough to marry into any high-ranking family, and become the wife of a noble family.
Meng Renping was stunned for a few seconds, and many thoughts, opinions, and sighs flashed through his mind. He had to admit that in just a few days, he had re-recognized the eldest sister he had always kept behind closed doors in the courtyard. , it is indeed different.
It’s so different... like being reborn.
Is it because I have haircuts?
After all, starting from this year, the eldest sister can get engaged and married.
Going out of the turtle abode in the past is probably to find a beautiful marriage for yourself.
Otherwise, if the second aunt has treated the eldest sister harshly for ten years, and if the eldest sister does not come forward to show her own value, her marriage will not make the second aunt a one-sided marriage, but before that, her grandparents did not care, his father and mother turned a blind eye, and the second uncle was in vain. Judging from the situation of being a father, the result will definitely be that the eldest sister will not marry well.
A girl spends her life in her parents' family for the first ten years and her husband's family for the next several decades. Marrying a good man is the most important thing.
No matter how big a change the eldest sister makes, it is justified and reasonable.
"Brother, if you want to ask anything, just say it." Meng Shisan actually woke up when Meng Tianguan came into the blue gauze cupboard to see her, but she had nothing to say about her grandfather. He also continued to sleep.
When her eldest cousin came, she knew that he probably had some doubts that he wanted to ask her.
As the future leader of the Meng Mansion, Meng Renping, regardless of whether she is convinced or not, in this world, the status of a girl is indeed inferior to that of a son, and what she can do is far less convenient than that of a son.
She wants to gain a foothold in the world, get the attention of the Meng family, and strive for a better and more comfortable life for herself and the people around her, so she should make some compromises.
Taking the trouble to gain Li Shou's favor is just the beginning.
It is to improve one's own disadvantaged situation, and it is also the first move to get closer to the current prince.
The law of heaven reincarnates, and all things are equal. There must be a reason why she was struck by lightning and came to this world, and possessed Meng Liangchen's body as a demon soul. But she didn't know the cause, and she didn't know the result. As a great demon, it was taboo to be neither good nor bad.
She must find out the reason, solve the root cause, leave the human body, return to the Jinling Ancestor Cave Temple, and stay in her original demon body to cultivate. Only then can she follow the right path.
To get close to Li Shou, the Meng Mansion outside the East Palace is a bridge. The eldest cousin who is always by the prince's side is even more important. It is the line that closes the distance between her and the prince. .
She is a demon, but she has also passed away. She knows that women in the human world cannot go to men regardless of their reserve, otherwise they will be put into a pig cage and sink into the pond.
Therefore, if she wants to get close to Li Shou, the people and things in the middle who can be used as cover are essential.
Meng Renping was the first bunker.
The only way to make friends with this eldest cousin is to find each other's value. Anyway, the Meng family wanted her to win the prince's heart, and she wanted to get close to Li Shou to find out what he had to do with her being struck by lightning. The relationship is just about helping each other and achieving their goals.
As for why she felt that Li Shou could solve her doubts, it had to start with the fact that she learned from Baozhu Jinyin that the Meng family had a grandson from the East Palace.
At that time, she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and a lot of ornaments in the house and private treasury could only be seen but not sold, so she had the idea of taking advantage of the situation.
After all, she has also been in officialdom.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. The king of Meng Mansion is her grandfather Meng Tianguan, followed by her grandmother Mrs. Meng.
What these two people care about most is their weakness.
As long as she grasps the weak points and gets what they care about most, she will undoubtedly succeed.
It was also luck. Li Shou happened to be in the Meng Mansion that day and asked about the location of Xuanyuan Terrace and Qiushui Lake. Regardless of the worry about the treasure gold and silver, she gave half an order and half a lie, so that Afraid of being frightened and worried, His Highness Prince Baozhu took her to Qiushui Lake to fish.
Fishing with fingers is a fragment of her dream after she fell asleep again on the first night after she was struck by lightning and became Meng Liangchen.
The dream cloud was so misty that she couldn't see it clearly and couldn't brush it away. She could only see small pieces flying past her one after another. No matter how hard she tried to look at it and try her best to grab it, it was all in vain.
After waking up, she only vaguely remembered two vague fragments.
It refers to fishing, which is the second fragment in the dream.
Her original body was a cricket, so she thought fishing was instinctive and not a skill. Although she was confused when she woke up, she didn’t think much about it. So after arriving at Qiushui Lake, she looked at her empty stomach and thought I did it without thinking.
As she expected, it really attracted Li Shou's attention.
Later, the eldest cousin took Li Shou to the garden gate and happened to see her slapping Meng Meili. At that time, the eldest cousin introduced her and when she was saluting, she inadvertently saw Li Shou's left palm hanging down by her side.
It seems that there seems to be a red one.
The accidental glance didn't look very real, and she wasn't sure.
Until the day when Meng Meijing came to provoke her again, she was so cruel that she wanted Meng Meili to learn a lesson and not dare to bully her again. At that time, she saw Li Shou again and went to see Li Shou. She finally saw clearly the palm of his left palm.
As expected, there is a red mole on the marriage line in the center of his left palm.
