Chapter 330 The show begins
Early in the morning, Zhou Yingning came to Zhou Yinghan's courtyard to look for her to go to Junyueju to pay respects. The two sisters' courtyards were not close, Zhou Yingning's was on the east side of Junyueju, and it was just around the corner, so there was no need to take a sedan chair.
Seeing Zhou Yinghan coming out in old clothes, Zhou Yingning's smiling face showed impatience. She stepped forward and took Zhou Yinghan's hand and said, "Second sister, why didn't you wear the new clothes my mother made for you? Don't you like them?"
Zhou Yinghan let go of Zhou Yingning's hand by pulling her clothes. "No, the princess made it for me. I wanted to wear it on my grandmother's birthday. It doesn't matter what you wear today. What matters is your sincerity. As long as I pray sincerely, the gods will bless my grandmother with a long and healthy life."
Guyu, who was following Zhou Yingning, found an excuse to leave the yard first after seeing Zhou Yinghan's clothes.
Zhou Yingning pouted, but her tone was cheerful, "Don't worry, grandma is the best, and we have the guidance of Master Yuan Jing this time, so everything will be fine. Wasn't my second sister-in-law's grandfather favored by Master Fang Zhi that year? Because of this, Meng Qi, oh no, I mean Princess Rui even went to their old house and lived there for more than a month. Hey? Second sister, I heard that Princess Rui came back from their old house that time and brought back a maid who looks very much like my second sister-in-law."
Zhou Yinghan looked up at Zhou Yingning with a malicious smile on his face and said, "I haven't heard of it. Let's go." After saying that, he took a step back. Zhou Yingning snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the room first.
Mrs. Hu looked at the two sisters, nodded happily, and turned to Mother Hong and said, "Today, these two young ladies in the palace are handed over to you. You must bring them back intact. If even a hair is missing, I will hold you accountable."
Meng Wan watched Guyu take the bag handed over by Yunxiang and walk out behind the two sisters. He stood up in silence. He felt extremely bored with the way Hu Shi pretended to be ignorant while knowing the truth, and they didn't even feel tired.
Seeing Meng Wan coming back, Cai'er excitedly pulled the curtain with an expression as if she wanted to ask me something.
After a while, Mother Kong came in with a happy face. She put down the bundle in her hand first, bowed to Meng Wan, and said with a smile, "The Crown Prince's wife is in good health. The cough that she has every year at this time has not been serious this year. Mother Guo also laughed and said that the cough medicine she prepared might not be used."
Meng Wan nodded happily. Meng Changfeng suddenly collapsed a few days ago. It was unknown whether he had some disease or was stimulated by something.
Meng Wan guessed that something must have happened to Meng Hai, either something happened to Meng Hai himself, or Meng Hai made Meng Changfeng do something embarrassing again.
She originally wanted to go back with Zhou Yu to visit the patient, but Song brought a message saying that Meng Changfeng didn't want them to work hard and didn't let them go.
They were not allowed to go, but he could not help but send servants to check on them and deliver some medicinal herbs or something.
"How is Grandfather?"
Mother Kong shook her head. "I didn't see it. I asked an old lady who used to live in Songhe Garden, and she said that the Marquis was angry with the Third Madam."
"Ah? Third Aunt? How is that possible? How dare she?" Meng Wan asked in surprise.
"No one knows the specific reason. We only heard that the Third Madam went to the Marquis's study in the outer courtyard and looked very anxious. It was fine at first, but after a while, the Marquis threw a cup, and then the Third Madam's harsh voice came. After the Third Madam went out with a box, the Marquis said he had a headache."
Meng Wan stood up. It must be that Meng Hai had encountered something troubling. What did he want Meng Changfeng to do? What did Liu Shi get from Meng Changfeng?
"besides......"
"What else?"
"The next day, the Third Madam went to look for the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Madam. The servants saw the Eldest Young Madam smiling as she sent the Third Madam out."
As for Meng Shao and Jiang, no matter whether Meng Changfeng's illness was real or fake, any discerning person could tell that Liu had caused it. The next day, the couple joked and joked with Liu like this, and even if it was nothing, it became something big.
She had to tell Meng Qi about this news. It was Meng Qi who had to deal with the Jiang family. She believed that Meng Qi's information about the Meng family must be more timely and accurate than hers, but Meng Qi was really too busy during this period. Zhou Yu came back yesterday and said that she had asked Meng Qi to help find out about the Huipin. In addition, in response to the arrangement of King Cheng, the affairs in the palace would inevitably be inseparable from Meng Qi's "interference".
"Go to the Rui Palace tomorrow and tell Madam Liu who is by the princess's side the news."
Mother Kong nodded in response, "When I went back this time, I saw that the Crown Prince's wife seemed to be unhappy with Madam."
"Unhappy? What do you mean?"
"It seems like they had a quarrel. To be more precise, it should be that the Crown Prince's wife questioned Madam. Madam has been upset these days because of the Marquis's matter, and she even yelled for the Crown Prince's wife to take care of the patient."
"Is grandma crazy? Mother is so old, and she has always been in poor health, yet you want her to take care of the sick? The eldest, second and fourth sisters-in-law are just eating and drinking?" Meng Wan said unhappily. How could Song be sick? It was obvious that she wanted to make trouble for Wang. It was just that Wang had a falling out with her because of something.
Meng Wan frowned. Wang's character was extremely kind. As long as it didn't touch her nose, as long as it didn't involve the interests of her and her children, she would never say a word or ask any more questions.
No, after Zhou Yingning's matter is settled, she must find time to go back to her parents' home.
"Is mother okay? Is she pretending to be happy because she's afraid I'll worry?"
Mother Kong nodded. "When I went there, the Crown Prince's wife was in good spirits and asked me to tell Second Madam not to worry. So, the Crown Prince's wife should have the upper hand in the dispute with Madam. I don't think she was pretending, but I was in a hurry to go there today. If Second Madam is worried, I will go back again and find out more."
Meng Wan waved his hand, and Wang said that it was not necessary, so there was nothing to worry about. After the New Year, Prince Rui was pushed out by the emperor. Although he only did the work of assisting other princes, he was able to show his face in front of people and had a place in the court.
Since the last incident of Wang's dowry, Zhou Yu and I have been disdainful of performing in front of Hu. Hu should also guess that she has been acting for such a long time since she married into the Zhou family.
Meng Wei is now under the command of Lord Qin's first deputy general. At the beginning, those people were not convinced of this young man from the capital. They thought that he would just take a trip, gain a good reputation, fight a few battles in the camp, and then leave. Then the memorial requesting merit would be very impressive.
Unexpectedly, after suffering several setbacks, Meng Wei proved himself to be a playboy. He mingled with the soldiers, trained, ate, and worked with them. He didn't care even if he knew they were plotting against him.
As time went by, everyone was moved by his persistence. After seeing that he was not like those who came and left in the past and did not look down on others, they became closer and closer to him.
The deputy general was very pleased to see Meng Wei's behavior. He was really afraid that Lord Qin would give him a straw bag, and he could not beat him, scold him, or order him around, and he had to protect him so that he would not get hurt.
In this way, Meng Wei fought several small-scale guerrilla wars with the deputy general. With his quick mind and clean hands and feet, he was increasingly valued by the deputy general and recognized by everyone.
More importantly, in his routine situation report to the Ministry of War, Lord Qin emphasized the heroic performance of several people in a guerrilla war, including Meng Wei.
When this matter was reported back to the Huainan Marquis Mansion, Meng Changfeng was quite surprised. He originally thought that Meng Wei just didn't like staying in the capital, and it would be convenient for him to go out for two years with Yue Zhen's face and then come back to find an official position. However, he didn't expect that this grandson, whom he had never taken seriously, could adapt to this industry in this way.
The old couple also sighed that if they had known that there would be such a person among their grandchildren, why would they be so anxious to be controlled by Meng Hai.
Therefore, analyzing the current situation of the above three people, even if the Song family is really dissatisfied with the Wang family, they will not act the same as before.
Meng Wan had reason to suspect that Wang felt the time was ripe and wanted to settle old scores with the Song family.
