Chapter 409 Have you made an engagement*
Meng Changqing had breakfast at the Zong Mansion. She waited until Dr. Hu and the imperial doctor came to the door one after another to feel Zong Ru's pulse before she excused herself.
Coincidentally, as soon as she finished speaking, a boy came to report at the door, "The old lady and madam are back."
Zong Shouqing immediately said to the boy who sent the message: "Follow me. The old lady said, Mr. Xiao Meng is here.”
“Shu Bo has already said that.” The young man continued, “The old lady wants to see Mr. Xiao Meng.”
Meng Changqing knew that he couldn't leave, so he said to the person: "I will pay my respects when my wife comes back, and please inform me."
More than half an hour passed after the boy who passed the message left. Turning back, she said: "The old lady has gone to the courtyard where the old man is recovering from illness. Please come with Master Meng."
"Let's go."
Zong Shouqing led Meng Changqing towards the small courtyard again go.
Meng Changqing walked to the door of the small courtyard again. When Zong Shouqing wasn't paying attention, he took a deep breath before walking inside.
Seeing a maid walking around in the courtyard, Meng Changqing only focused on looking forward.
Following Zong Shouqing for this section, Meng Changqing also adjusted his emotions on his face. As soon as he saw Mrs. Zong, he immediately greeted Mrs. Zong warmly, asked her how she was, and asked her about her trip to worship Buddha. What strange things may happen on the road?
Mrs. Zong sat on a chair and said to Meng Changqing: "If I had known you were coming earlier, I would have definitely gone out on another day. My child, you came all the way from Liangzhou. You worked hard on the road."
< br>Meng Changqing did not dare to admit this hard work and joked about other things.
"I just went to see your master in the inner room. He is in better spirits than before. He is probably happy to see you." Mrs. Zong said, "It is normal for people to have some physical problems as they age. The imperial doctor should not have called you back, but it’s good that you are back, otherwise I don’t know when I can see you.”
Meng Changqing had a premonition that there must be something behind these words.
Sure enough, Madam Zong then spoke, "I remember you are sixteen this year. Has your mother made an engagement for you?"
"Not at all. I am still young, and my mother He only asked me to focus on the things at hand, and warned me that getting married too early is not a good thing." Meng Changqing asked, "But the reason why my wife asked this is. Did I pay attention?"
"There is such a person. I should have discussed it with your master before telling you, but I think you have had ideas since you were a child, so I might as well tell you directly. If you think Okay, I'll make peace again. If you don't feel good about it, I won't mention it, and your master won't be able to say anything."
Mrs. Zong said, "Do you know about Mr. Mo, the official?"
"Could it be Mr. Mo's daughter that the teacher's wife said?" Meng Changqing asked.
"Exactly, Miss Mo is one year younger than you. She has a decent appearance and a stronger personality. Her father is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Etiquette, and her family background is not bad. What do you think of Miss Mo?"
Meng Changqing said: "Ms. Mo can be praised by my wife for her conduct. I think she is a very good person, but I am far away in Liang." Zhou, the daughter of a Beijing official, I'm afraid she won't like me."
"Don't say this. Miss Mo has met you and has a good impression of you. I came forward to propose marriage. "Everyone will agree." Mrs. Zong asked Meng Changqing to say something right, "Just tell me whether you want it or not."
"Mother." Zong Shouqing's expression was a little strange, "When Changqing returns to Beijing, no girl from a good family will be able to marry."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zong immediately glared at Zong Shouqing, " It’s ridiculous that you only listen to two or three gossips and then slander the innocence of other girls.”
