When Shi heard the words, he frowned.

Among these noble daughters, Shi's identity is nothing. She now has no husband's family to rely on, and it is not much of an industry to have an orchard on her hand, but her brother is very important to the emperor, and Huanning is also on good terms with her. Only in this way can we hold the banquet of Qixi Festival today.

Most of the people who come are Jingmen girls and Mrs. Gao Men, all people who want face and face, who would make trouble at a time like this?

Ye Jiao was also a little strange. She couldn't remember to eat the litchi she had peeled on her hands. She just looked at Shi and whispered, "do you want to go out and have a look?"

Because there were other people in the room, Shi didn't want to make a scene, so he whispered back, "there's no hurry." Then she looked at the woman and said, "can you see who it is?"

"one of them is the eldest girl of Lu Da's family, and the other can't tell who it is, but she looks like a girl who hasn't left the cabinet yet."

"quarreling in the garden?"

"not really. As soon as there was a sign, I was invited by the Meng girl to the bamboo grove on the west side of the garden."

Smelling words, Shi Shi and Ye Jiao looked at each other, and they all knew that most of this Meng girl was Meng Zhilan.

Shi turned around in his heart and remembered that Lord Lu was also an official in the Privy Council and should be Shi Tianrui's deputy.

Since he was Shi Tianrui's colleague, Shi naturally wanted to take care of it, so he got up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Ye Jiao also spit out the litchi kernel in her mouth, threw it into the porcelain jar to one side, wiped her hands with a veil and followed.

When entered the garden, it was still a lively scene.

The girls who had not come out of the cabinet gathered together to pierce seven-hole needles, to check their ingenuity, and to go to the garden in twos and threes to borrow the dew on the leaves. According to legend, this dew is the tears of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl when they meet. It can brighten people's eyes and hands by daubing it on their eyes and hands.

On the other hand, married women are not idle. Of course, they don't have to pray for marriage, and they enjoy themselves when they get together to play double land or make an appointment to throw a pot.

This relieved Shi's heart. After all, she was the one who organized the party. If something went wrong, she might end up shameless.

She didn't look nervous at all, and greeted the ladies of the past with a smile.

Ye Jiao looked on and found that Shi knew everyone she saw. She could not only call her name, but also tell her identity, even if she remembered her relatives clearly.

For example, the one who just passed, who seems to be the third brother-in-law's child of the second sister-in-law of his uncle in Shi's hometown, made Ye Jiao feel a headache.

When the two walked into the sheep's path, there was a lot of cleanliness around, and Ye Jiao took Shi's arm and sighed, "Yingxiu is really a good memory, and it's really not easy to write it down."

Shi patted Ye Jiao on the back of her hand with a smile and replied softly, "I've always lived in the capital for a long time, and it's normal to be familiar with it."

However, there is another word that Shi did not clearly say.

In the past, when she was at the Wen family, her life was very light, not because she was short of food and clothing, but when she got home, she had to fight with several concubines, and she always had to look at Sun's fool looking for trouble. Shi was annoyed, so she often went out and got to know more people.

This also has some advantages, at least now that she lives alone, people who have made friends before will give her some thin noodles.

Shi doesn't mind whether they are sincere or hypocritical. His brother is his own, and his best friend is also his own. If he has a backing, he has nothing to hide. In Shi's view, those who despise her but still flatter her are the most pitiful. I'm afraid I don't know how much breath I hold behind my back.

It's just that Shi never told Ye Jiao that people wanted to move on, and she also had Liu Rong, so there was no need to always come out with the old rotten millet of Chen sesame seeds to solicit sympathy.

Ye Jiao treats her well and treats her well no matter who she is. Shi is naturally only happy to talk to her about happy things.

However, when Ye Jiao came out with her at this time, Shi was still a little hesitant in her heart. She paused before going out and said to Ye Jiao, "although all the women want face, they won't be too embarrassed." but the noise will inevitably pollute the ears and eyes, so Jiao Niang should not look at it. "?.

Ye Jiao shook her head gently and said, "Miss Meng Wu is also outside. I went to see her."

Shi remembered that the girl of the Meng family was also outside, so he said nothing more and went out with Ye Jiao.

As soon as went out, could see the woman standing outside the bamboo grove over there.

Because there are only fruit trees around here, which are not tall, it is inevitable that it will be muggy in summer, so Shi Shi asked people to plant a bamboo forest in the south.

Even in today's dog days, you can feel the coolness of the wind blowing on the bamboo leaves, and the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves is particularly beautiful.

When the woman saw Shi and Ye Jiao, she flashed slightly to the side and saluted quietly.

Ye Jiao recognized that she was the wife of the Meng family who had come to inform her. Thinking that Meng five girls were in there, Ye Jiao went in with some curiosity.

As soon as I entered the bamboo grove, I heard a mournful sob, and then a clear female voice sounded: "if you cry, you know how to cry, and everyone else thinks you know how to be ashamed, but who is shameless and naughty woman can do such a thing like you?"

Shi recognized that what he said was very strong, so he quickened his pace, and then he saw a woman in a blue skirt standing there with her waist crossed, while on the ground sat a group of girls dressed in white for a month. It was obvious that they had made the noise just now.

About these two people were too conspicuous, and before Ye Jiao and Shi Shi had time to find out where Miss Meng Wu was, they heard the blue skirt woman say, "since you are shameless enough to marry my father as a concubine, you should know that you should not come to these occasions in the future. Who are you crying to now?"

The remark seemed to stimulate the woman on the ground, who cried so loudly that the veil could no longer cover her face.

Ye Jiao stared at her side face, and it took a while for her to realize

Isn't this Miss Zhu Si?

Shi also recognized the two people and stopped Ye Jiao from coming forward, just whispering: "that blue dress is the big girl Lu. I think you also know the one who is dressed in white this month, that is, the first daughter of the Zhu family."

Ye Jiao had some doubts in her eyes and whispered, "didn't you say that all the Zhu family have been derogated from Beijing?"

Shi lowered his voice a little more and covered his mouth with a veil in his hand. "the Zhu family has been derogated from Beijing, but today your Majesty's benevolence still gives them time to deal with the marriage of their children, otherwise they will be guilty," he said. I'm afraid none of the girls can get married. "

At this point alone, Shi felt that Chu Chengyun was a benevolent monarch.

Ordinary emperors seldom have such tolerance. The Zhu family is related to the two kings. To put it lightly, it is the life of the whole family in exile, but Chu Chengyun can still wait for them to deal with the marriage of their children before issuing orders and punishments. it is really not easy for them to be so thoughtful.

However, the marriage of the Zhu family also caused a lot of trouble in the capital, adding to the after-dinner conversation, among which the four girls of Zhu were mentioned the most.

Shi saw that they were going to quarrel for a while, and then said to Ye Jiao, "the person who was originally engaged to the four girls by the Zhu family was a handsome talent. Although she was free to be an official, she thought it would be easy to be the housemother, but aunt Zhu looked down on her and had to find a way to stay in the capital. I don't know how to get together with the 40-year-old Lord Lu. The person who was originally engaged married the common daughter of his family."

Little ginseng is a little confused. After all, most of the people she comes into contact with are only one wife and seldom have concubines. Ye Jiao doesn't understand them very well.

But hearing what Shi said, Ye Jiao thought about it and said, "she seems to be at a loss."

Shi nodded gently: "it's a big loss."

When she became a concubine, she was so disgusted by the noble daughter next to her, but the Zhu family was found guilty, and the whole family moved out of the capital, even if she stayed in this prosperous place, but there was no support from her family. I'm afraid it was as sad as she had to be.

Zhu Si girl did not know that Shi Shi was talking about her not far away. At the moment, Zhu Si girl was so sick that she was about to vomit blood.

She really wanted to come this time in order to meet her former friends.

Life in the Lv family was actually very difficult. Aunt Zhu was ignorant and didn't have much heart, otherwise she wouldn't have done so many stupid things.

Originally a spoiled girl in the family, she thought that being a concubine was a means to win men's sympathy and pity, but it was only after she became a concubine that she knew what it was like to kneel down to people every day. In addition, she had no family to rely on. Even the wife in the family can bully her.

It was only then that Miss Zhu Si wanted to find another way for herself.

For this reason, she begged Lord Lu for a long time before she could get a chance to go out on Qixi Festival.

It was probably that she herself disliked her present status as a concubine, so she did not dress up as a woman, but was still wearing the white dress she liked, trying to find someone while there were more people coming in.

Who knew that she had not entered the door yet, so coincidentally, she was recognized by the big girl Lu who had just entered the door and immediately wanted to come up and scold her.

On such an occasion, if Zhu Si is allowed to go in, I am afraid the Lu family will lose face until next year!

However, Meng Wu girl had a quick eye and hands, and she was stopped by someone on this side, and the wife there stopped Zhu Si and dragged her out the door.

Because these are the same women who went to pick up Zhu Si last time, they are very good at doing things.

Zhu Si did not recognize these people, but she felt anxious and panicked, but she could not do anything but cry, but Miss Lu did not like her. The more Zhu Si cried, the more she scolded her, even though she did not utter indecent words. but words that refer to mulberry and scold can make Zhu Siou die.

There was nothing he could do about it. Zhu Si could only look up at Miss Lu and said, "Girl, there is a difference between inferiority and inferiority. I am your elder anyway.". "

"bang!"

Big girl Lu was not a good stubble. She was already fierce and overbearing, and she didn't need anyone else, so she slapped Zhu Siyi in the face, and her white cheeks swelled up at the moment. Big Lu didn't pity her at all. She just said in a cold voice, "shut up, my mother is only one, what are you, and dare to talk to me about superiority and inferiority?" the eldest girl said in a cold voice: "shut up, my mother is only one, what are you, dare to talk to me about superiority and inferiority?"

She was also very angry. She only felt that her father was not proud. She was fooled by this woman and brought her home. As a result, a clean door of the Lu family became the laughingstock of the whole city. Even ordinary people could say a few words about the right and wrong of the Lu family and the Zhu family. How can it make the Lv Big Girl angry?.

And Zhu Si really cried, but he didn't know whether he was hurt or angry by Miss Lu.

Seeing that he had moved his hand, Shi could no longer be silent, so he took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "what's wrong with Miss Lu?" If you are so angry, it will go away first, and your hands will hurt carefully. "

Although the big girl Lu wanted to tie up Zhu Si on the spot and throw it here, she still held back her anger and smiled at Shi and said, "Mrs. Shi Fu'an, the family affairs of my family are noisy to Mrs. Shi. It's really my fault." Then Miss Lu said to Ye Jiao, "Mrs. Qi."

Ye Jiao smiled at her, but said nothing, but turned her eyes and looked around.

On this side, Shi Shi and Miss Lu exchanged pleasantries and talked about the scene. Zhu Si over there was tied up by her wife and her mouth was gagged, but these Ye Jiao didn't care. After all, neither the Lv family nor the Zhu family had anything to do with her. Ye Jiao just wants to see where her brothers and sisters are in the future.

Soon, Ye Jiao saw Meng Wu girl standing not far away.

The woman under the emerald bamboo, dressed in a straight bamboo train, was slim and pretty. When she saw Ye Jiao looking at her, she smiled without saying a word, then walked forward slowly and saluted slightly, saying, "Mrs. Qi."

Ye Jiao immediately returned a gift. Ye Jiao had always kept in mind what Liu had taught her, and all kinds of etiquette had become a conditioned reflection.

Then Ye Jiao looked at Meng Wu and said, "you must be Hui Niang's sister." Looking at the eyebrow and eyes, and the Queen Meng have seven or eight points to think, and this body temperament is generally the same calm.

Meng Wu girl smiled and nodded, but she was a little nervous.

As a matter of fact, Queen Meng had already told her that since the Meng family was going to marry the Qi family, Meng Wu and Ye Jiao were not allowed to move around. Queen Meng had said to her before, "Jiao Niang is a good-tempered woman. If you are kind to her, she will be kind to you. Remember not to use any other tricks on her. You must remember that everything is happy at home."

In Meng Zhilan's heart, her sister Meng Huirou is the smartest woman in the world. The woman who can sit firmly in the back seat is naturally different, and the woman who can be favored by Empress Meng is also a very powerful role.

Before she came, Miss Meng Wu crumpled two or three vases, her heart pounding.

Even though she had accidentally met Qi Sanlang several times before, Meng Wu girl had never been so nervous.

But now seeing Ye Jiao, Meng Wu girl's heart suddenly quieted down.

This is indeed a very powerful woman, but what is powerful is not shrewd calculation, but pure clearness that can be seen to the end at a glance.

Meng Wu girl some understand why her sister likes Ye Jiao, the more bent her heart, the more she likes her clean mind, even if Meng Wu girl only took a look at the wife of the Ye family, she knew that she was different.

In terms of making friends, Meng Wu Girl and Queen Meng share the same view.

Ye Jiao did not know that in this short period of time, the pretty girl in front of her had changed so many thoughts.

She just smiled and said, "I always heard Saburo talk about you before, but now I see that she is really a good girl."

Meng Wu girl could not help but put a smile on her lips, the tip of her ear was slightly red, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know.". What did he say about me? "

The servant girl who waited on Meng five looked at her in surprise. Her own girl was not usually like this. Even though she was happy in private, Qi Jiasanlang never spoke to others for fear of being said to be undignified. Now she is very frank.

Ye Jiao really didn't think about it anywhere else, just smiled and said, "say you're smart and gentle, but he won't say much to me or his second brother. After all, he doesn't know anything about you."

At this point, Miss Meng Wu laughed again and muttered a nerd in her heart.

It seems that all the people around know that the two families are going to get married, but Qi Sanlang himself does not know.

However, she was in no hurry. Queen Meng said before that Qi Sanlang was different from the other men. He seemed to have a good temper, but he was actually very stubborn. If he felt that he was unstable, he would not be able to get married.

After a while, when the story of Qi Ming and Xiao Yuanbai came to an end, Qi Sanlang's house was also tidied up, and it was only then that it was reasonable to say that the marriage was granted.

When Ye Jiao talked to Miss Meng Wu, Miss Zhu on the ground listened all the time.

Because of their proximity, she had both words in her ears.

On hearing this, Zhu Si's eyes turned round.

Is there a relationship between Qi Jia Saburo and the Meng family?

Is it true that you were robbing your son-in-law with the prime minister's office?

This. What is all this?

But Zhu Si girl now realized that it was too late. Her mouth was gagged and her hands were tied. Zhu Si, who could not move completely, had no chance to beg for mercy.

Meng Wu girl was in no hurry and looked very calm. she just talked to Ye Jiao as if she had not seen her at all.

Only when Ye Jiao took Ye Jiao's hand and went back to the orchard gate, did Meng Wu girl gently turn her head and look at Zhu Si who had been pushed away, with a flash of indifference in her eyes.

She never hated this man pestering Qi Ming, not only because she despised Zhu Si, but also because she trusted Qi Saburo.

As for the fact that Zhu Si has come to this point, it was her own choice, and Meng Wu girl has never been involved in anything.

If she is really asked to do something about it, I am afraid that Zhu Si will not be so lucky to find the Lu family.

Individuals have their own fate, the road is their own, there is no blame for others.

When she withdrew her eyes, Miss Meng Wu smiled gently again and heard Ye Jiao say, "shall we throw the pot together later?"

Meng Wu girl said softly, "I don't know. Can my sister teach me?"

"of course." Ye Jiao is also happy to teach her. After she learns it well, it will be a pleasure to have someone to play with her in the capital.

Meng Wu girl raised a smiling face and bent her eyebrows.

When she was about to get out of the bamboo forest, Ye Jiao remembered something: "Why are you helping Miss Lu?"

Although when Zhu Si made trouble at Qi Ming's place before, it was Meng Wu's girl who asked someone to throw it away, but Ye Jiao looked at her as proud as Hui Niang, and this time she was afraid it would not be just for the sake of jealousy and other trifles.

What's more, Zhu Si is not qualified to make future brothers and sisters jealous.

If there were others, Meng Wu would only prevaricate in the past, but to Ye Jiao, she was particularly frank: "the Lu family is an official of the Privy Council, and the marriage decided by Miss Lu is an official in charge of the Hanlin Academy. I naturally have to help with this favor."

Ye Jiao blinked. For such a long time in the capital, just listening to Qi Yun and Shi Shi was enough for Ye Jiao to understand what Meng Wu meant.

She is not helping Miss Lu, but helping the future Qi Ming to accumulate contacts and benefits.

Ye Jiao could not help saying, "Saburo is really lucky to marry you."

Meng Wu girl accepted this compliment with a smile, only smiling but not saying anything.

When she entered the door, Ye Jiao took Meng five girls to throw the pot together. It was clear that the two met for the first time, but the relationship quickly warmed up.

Shi didn't like it either, but just watched with a smile, happy to get along more with the two future lovers.

And Ye Jiao and Meng Wu girls play in the same thing next to the people see in the eyes, bear in mind.

Although Ye Jiao was born as a merchant, the Qi family had an official Qi Ming, who was the marriageable age.

Now that Ye Jiao is on good terms with Meng Wu, no one can think more about it.

So after this banquet, there were a lot of rumors outside.

It's just a rumor, and many people just laugh when they hear it.

It is true that the gap between the two families is too big. One is the Qi family, who was born as a peasant merchant, and the other is a highly powerful Meng family. Although it is not heaven and earth, it is extraordinarily whimsical. never thought they would get together.

And those women who had speculated gradually felt that the news was too untrue, so they gradually stopped mentioning it.

But when everyone forgot, they heard that the emperor had given a will to marry Qi Ming and Meng Jiawu.

For a moment, the capital shook.

The author has something to say: Qi Ming: why do so many people outside say that Zhilan and I are going to get married? I-I haven't begged yet.

[after the decree]

Qi Ming:. Aah! aah!

Chu Chengyun: love from brother-in-law and future brother-in-law. Jpg
