The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

evening,

Meng Wan informed Meng Xian about the banquet that his uncle was going to host.

Meng Xian was quite happy at first, thinking that the person who could make her uncle pay so much attention to her must be a close friend, and she could have fun together during the Lantern Festival.

But when she heard the name of the person she wanted to entertain, the curve of her mouth froze instantly.

Meng Wan didn't go out with her two younger sisters that day, so she didn't know the whole story.

I met Meng Xian now, but her expression changed drastically when she heard the name. She couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly, "What? Are you scared to death when you heard that you were going to meet an old acquaintance again?"

Old acquaintance?

Meng Xian's brain was shut down for a moment, and then she realized that the old acquaintance mentioned by her eldest sister was Jiang Heng. As for this old acquaintance, it could be anything other than the time when she asked him to save someone.

She straightened her clothes, blinked and said, "Sister, I misunderstood. There are no old acquaintances. The dignified Prince Wu'an may not even remember a little person like me. I don't dare to have an old friendship with him."

This is right to say,

It sounds humble, but in fact there is a bit of yin and yang in it.

Meng Wan was confused and turned her head to give her second sister, Meng Qi, a puzzled look.

After Meng Xian stood up and left, Meng Wan walked to Meng Qi and hit her impatiently with her arm.

"What's going on little sister?"

"I don't know the specifics, but according to my guess, this young prince is too taciturn and cold-tempered, and my little sister is used to being arrogant. She probably feels uncomfortable because of the sudden cold treatment."

"Really~" Meng Wan murmured softly, "That's not right. My younger sister had met him several times before. I remember that she had a very good opinion of this young marquis."

"Just before I went out that day, my little sister was full of praises."

"As a result, before I could react, the two of them suddenly fell out."

Meng Wan frowned, "My little sister should restrain her temper when meeting outsiders."

Meng Qi sighed softly, "No."

The two sisters lamented that their younger sister was too coquettish, completely forgetting that they were also the ones behind this coquettish temper.

Wu'anhou Mansion

In the early morning, after breakfast, Jiang Heng personally prepared the etiquette for meeting his mentor.

The rising sun shines on the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, making the gifts placed in the courtyard shine with a different kind of light.

These were gifts given by the ministers of the DPRK and China recently.

If you want to put it aside, he will never accept it.

I don’t know where this is the people’s fat and people’s anointing.

But after being really hard-pressed and poor, a certain young prince had a long memory.

Don't take advantage of the bastard,

What's more, in the hands of those corrupt officials, this money is just for food, drinking, prostitution and gambling. If it falls to him, it can be taken from and used by the people.

Therefore, this year’s New Year’s Day, I send gifts back and forth,

A certain young prince said - I want them all, no matter how much I have!

Among the gifts sent, several calligraphy and paintings were considered rare treasures. Jiang Heng thought that his father had a warrior temperament and didn't like to do anything with his writing, so he wanted to give them to his teacher Meng Zhou as a tribute.

Get everything in order and set off when the time comes.

From Wu'anhou Mansion to Meng Mansion,

Separated by two streets, these two streets are the most prosperous and wide streets in Beijing.

So the distance is neither too far nor too close.

The boy guarding the door of the Meng Mansion seemed to have been prepared early, and when he saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion, he hurried up to meet it.

Then the old housekeeper, with a smile on his face, bowed his hands respectfully and welcomed the person in.

If it were another house, and the young marquis with great military exploits came in person, no one would have to go out in person to greet him with a smile;

But Meng Zhou was different. He was Jiang Heng's teacher and had the status of elder.

in this way,

No matter how high and powerful Jiang Heng was, he would never be able to put on any airs in front of Meng Zhou.

After entering the mansion, led by the old housekeeper, Jiang Heng formally met with Meng Zhou in the banquet living room.

"The student has seen the teacher and greets the teacher."

Meng Zhou smiled kindly and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down quickly."

Jiang Heng did not take his seat immediately, but looked at the middle-aged man beside Meng Zhou who was similar in age and appearance to him.

Meng Zhou waved his long arm and introduced: "This is my fellow brother Meng Yuan who is my master."

With such a relationship, even Jiang Heng was slightly startled at the moment and didn't know what to call it.

In the end, Meng Yuan couldn't bear the embarrassment and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't mind it, just call me Uncle Meng."

No matter how wise and steady he is in other aspects, when it comes to how he behaves in the world, Jiang Heng is still very ignorant and needs advice from his elders.

When Meng Yuan said this, he was also very polite. He bowed and made a junior salute, "Say hello to Uncle Meng."

After the virtual ceremony, we can talk freely.

Needless to say, Meng Zhou was knowledgeable and well-spoken;

And Meng Yuan traveled all over the country and saw countless strange people and strange things. He is also eloquent and witty;

Although Jiang Heng is taciturn, he can still have a few words with the teacher;

He doesn't talk much, he mostly listens, and occasionally expresses his opinions and attitudes.

Facing two elders who have much more experience and knowledge than me,

Jiang Heng showed unprecedented humility.

All in all, we had a great conversation and benefited Jiang Heng a lot.

"Uncle, dad~"

A soft, sweet and somewhat familiar voice first entered my ears, and then a touch of pretty goose-yellow color appeared.

When Meng Zhou and Meng Yuan saw the visitor, their originally fierce and stern aura softened instantly, and their faces changed from the serious and upright look before to put on an extremely doting smile.

Jiang Heng subconsciously followed the sound and looked sideways.

The girl is wearing a goose-yellow jacket with a ring of white fluff around her neck, which makes her originally pretty eyebrows much gentler and softer, but she still has a snowy complexion and picturesque eyebrows.

Somehow, Jiang Heng suddenly thought,

She probably had all the spiritual energy in Jiangnan, otherwise how could she have such an eye-catching appearance.

Meng Xian, who was so soft and docile in the face of Meng Zhou and Meng Yuan, instantly became furious when she saw Jiang Heng!

Meng Zhou glanced at the two of them and seemed to sense his little niece's vague hostility towards his beloved disciple.

"Lingxiao."

"Ok?"

"You seem to have some prejudice against uncle's students?" Meng Zhou said with a meaningful smile.

Meng Xian suddenly woke up and explained repeatedly: "No, no, uncle has misunderstood."

"How dare I have any prejudice against the young Marquis~"

Jiang Heng looked steadily at the furry little rabbit-like girl in front of him, with a soft light floating in his cold eyes.

"Teacher, I don't blame Miss Meng; it was the student's impoliteness that made Miss Meng unhappy."

"I am taking this opportunity to apologize to the girl."

Meng Zhou: "Xianxian, since Yanqing can't apologize, can you give me some face and stop being angry?"

……

Why do these words sound so much like an elder trying to persuade a quarreling young couple?

Meng Xian raised her eyes and found that Jiang Heng was looking at her with interest, with a faint smile in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Everyone has expressed their opinions.

If you still hold on to it, you will appear to be too stingy and lacking in magnanimity.

Furthermore, Meng Xian is a person who prefers soft things over hard things.

The other party is willing to admit his mistake, and she is also willing to take a step back.

That pretty little face was finally willing to show a sincere smile to Jiang Heng.

Meng Zhou and Meng Yuan looked at this scene. Although they should be happy, they vaguely felt that something was wrong.

It happened that the housekeeper came to report at this moment, saying that someone from the Zheng family in Jiangnan had sent a gift.

The Zheng family is the husband's family of Meng Xian's aunt Meng Xiang.

Meng Zhou and Meng Yuan were so happy when they heard that someone was coming to their little sister's house that they didn't care about anything. The two brothers happily went out with the housekeeper.

In an instant, only Meng Lian and Jiang Heng were left in the hall.

There was no one around, and the thought of settling scores suddenly slowly emerged in Meng Xianqiu's mind.
