"She said that as the eldest daughter of the Ji family and the eldest daughter, the Ji family has accumulated wealth over the years. Her father is the third-rank minister of Taichang Temple, and her eldest brother is the chief guard of the East Palace, commanding the defense of the entire East Palace. In the future, His Highness will ascend the throne. Brother can still go to the next level."
Ji Kuan now recalled the proud look on his sister's face when she said these words. , it’s like changing into another person: “If she gets married, she will definitely be a rich woman, and her mother’s family will be able to support her in her husband’s family for the rest of her life. She will not care about her husband’s future if he is not successful, and will ignore her. The dowry brought into the husband's family can provide the couple with food and clothing for a lifetime, and no one dares to bully the young couple without being wise. It's so satisfying!"
"Miss Ji is absolutely right." Meng Renping looked at Ji Kuan and sighed, "It's rare to see things more clearly than you."
Ji Kuan snorted: "Then you are wrong. These words made me and my mother who were present dumbfounded at that time. Then my mother asked her if she really thought so, and she said she also She didn't expect that this was what Miss Meng told her. She felt it made sense, and she really took it to heart. "
" Yaoyao said it? Renping heard that these words were actually spoken by his eldest sister, which shows that her eldest sister must have thought the same way. He actually didn't know her eldest sister's views on the marriage, so she was so straightforward.
He walked in silence, his brows frowning again unconsciously.
Ji Kuan noticed: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, even Yaoyao never told me this, I never asked, and I don't know what she said to Miss Ji Are these words what she yearns for?" Meng Renping said in a low voice.
Ji Kuan couldn't answer this time: "Didn't His Highness ask you to send a message to your eldest sister? Just ask what you have in mind and whether you are attracted to it, and you will know. There is no need to worry. !”
Meng Renping said: “Yaoyao is no better than other girls. We ignored her very much in the past and never got close to her. When she got her hair this year, she showed her differences. I knew that this was the age when she was leaving the court and she had to show herself. She was afraid that her second aunt would find her an unsatisfactory husband and marry her off casually. She had a hard life in her natal family for the first fifteen years, and she didn’t want to continue to live a hard life in her husband’s family for the rest of her life. ”
"That's why I said that as the eldest brother, you are very incompetent." Ji Kuan was ordered by his mother Lan since he was a child to protect his two sisters, especially his second sister Juanjuan. , so he treated his two sisters differently. He had been obedient since he was a child and had always taken good care of his two sisters.
To this day, Yinyinjuanjuan is old enough to leave the court.
The days pass so quickly.
He said: "You know clearly that your second aunt is your eldest sister's stepmother, but you have never paid attention to her. If you leave it to me, I will not tell you about marriage. After all, we are not that familiar."< br>
But he can be patient enough for Yin Yin, guide Yin Yin to choose the right marriage, and help him solve the problem that no matter how he persuades Yin Yin over the years, Yin Yin just refuses to give up His Highness.
This kind of Miss Meng is indeed as beautiful and kind-hearted as Chi Nan said, and she is very powerful.
Meng Renping opened his mouth and wanted to retort that he and his eldest sister were both family members, so how could he not be familiar with each other? However, when he thought of how His Highness first saw his eldest sister on the Xuanyuan stage, he pointed at her and asked him who he was. At that moment, he almost didn't recognize his eldest sister, and he lost his temper again.
......I was really unfamiliar at that time.
He lowered his eyes in shame, closed his mouth, and walked out of the palace gate with Ji Kuan in silence.
Ji Kuan wanted to comfort him when he saw this, but then he thought about Li Shou and Meng Renping teaming up to ignore him in the Wenhua Palace just now, and he didn't want to comfort him anymore.
I think I should let my best friend shut up for a while!
After coming out of the palace gate, Ji Kuan and Xingzhi mounted their horses, while Meng Renping and Gao Yuan got on the Meng Mansion's cart. They walked together for a while, then separated and returned to their respective homes.
On the way, Meng Renping sat in the carriage, his hands folded into his sleeves, his eyes closed to rest, and he slowly let go of his feelings of shame towards Meng Shisan.
Back at the Meng Mansion, he asked Gao Yuan not to follow him and went into the backyard by himself to the gate of Taichen Courtyard. The gatekeeper didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly reported inside.
After reporting for spring viewing, she asked her mother-in-law to wait, then turned to the main bedroom to ask Meng Shisan for instructions.
Meng Shisan slept soundly. Shangchun called her several times before waking her up: "What's wrong?"
"Miss, the eldest son is here. He is at the gate of the courtyard now. Wait." Shang Chun said.
“Didn’t you tell brother that I had stopped?” Meng Shisan sat up, hugging the quilt and rubbing his eyes that could not open.
"Our courtyard has been locked for a long time. The mother-in-law guarding the door knew that the young lady had taken a rest, and she told the eldest son the truth. After hearing this, the eldest young master still asked the mother-in-law to come in and ask the young lady for permission." Shangchun had already asked the gatekeeper the same question, and she answered like this.
Knowing that she was asleep and still asking her mother-in-law to ask for instructions, does the eldest cousin have something important to ask her for?
Meng Shisan glanced at the clepsydra on the table and realized that it was past three o'clock. "Go and invite the eldest son to Mingxiao Hall."
"Promise." Reward. Chun walked down the stone steps and said to the old lady standing by the Aquarius Gate, "Hurry up and open the door and invite the eldest son in."
"No." The old lady guarding the gate turned around and hurried back to the courtyard with nimble legs. at the door.
Shangchun was about to enter the house to wait on Meng Shisan when he saw Baozhu walking out of the wing and coming this way: "Just in time, the eldest son is here. You go in and wait on the young lady to dress up."
"I know!" Baozhu felt light and came out when he heard the noise, "Why are you here so late? Don't you know that the young lady has already gone to bed?"
"Young Master knows." Shangchun pushed away. The door opened, "I guess there is something important."
Baozhu nodded, said no more, and went straight to the inner room to wait for Meng Shisan to get up.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Meng Renping was sitting in the Mingxiao Hall. Meng Shisan, wearing a homely shirt and skirt, walked into the hall without a face.
"Big brother."
"I shouldn't have come so late, but Your Highness has something you want me to convey to you."
Meng Shisan followed Meng Renping and sat down in the side seat, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, what do you want me to convey to you?" What did you want to convey to me? Are you still in such a hurry?”
Meng Renping didn’t know what was going on, and he couldn’t tell whether he was in a hurry or not. Anyway, he wanted to convey it as soon as possible. My Majesty said, you can make up your mind, but you must be careful not to lose your wife and lose your troops."
Meng Shisan was stunned: "Your Highness, do you know what I am up to?"
It's impossible. She has a plan for a long time, but how to implement it and how to achieve it, she takes it one step at a time. Although it may be successful, she still doesn't have a complete idea.
Since coming back from Bixu Manor, Li Shou hasn't even seen her face. How could he know what she was planning?
Meng Renping thought carefully: "Looking at His Highness's determined expression, he should know it. It's just my guess, His Highness didn't say much."
