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

Wang was embarrassed by Jiang Lingyi.

When I reflected on myself afterwards, I also felt rude. After all, Meng Xian was her husband's niece. If she didn't put enough effort into saving face, others would only think she was wrong.

But the words have been spoken, and even if you want to make amends, you can't take them back.

Wang and Meng Lin didn't think much about the next banquet. They just felt ashamed and wanted to end it as soon as possible and return home quickly.

-

The busiest time for the shop was finally over. After checking the accounts, Meng Xian had some free time and was thinking about whether to go back to Jiangnan when he had free time recently.

Zheng Xuze was also resting at home, "It should be quick to go back and forth by water. Sister, if you want to go back, I will go with you."

Chunxiang thought of something, "But the girl's birthday is on these days. If she sets off, will she celebrate it on the ship?"

Meng Xian smiled nonchalantly, "It's just a birthday, it's not a birthday."

Zheng Xuze: "It doesn't matter, it's the same as going back to Jiangnan to make up for it; besides, even if we stay in the capital, it's just the two of us. It will be so lively when we get home as a family."

"That's right, it's not interesting to live in the capital; go home, I want to eat longevity noodles made by grandma."

The two siblings looked at each other and smiled.

It had been a long time since they had seen their parents and relatives at home, and both of them missed them deeply.

Now that he had an idea, he couldn't wait to order his people to pack their bags and prepare for departure.

Now that he was about to go home, Meng Xian wanted to prepare some gifts for his relatives at home, but he couldn't find anything interesting when he walked from East Street to West Street in the capital.

It's not that the things in the capital are bad, it's just that these things are also found in Jiangnan, so they're not unusual.

Since you are giving a gift, it is natural to choose something precious and rare.

Meng Xian spent a lot of time thinking about this, but she got nothing for two days in a row, which made her feel discouraged and disappointed.

Fortunately, Zheng Xuze was recommended by a friend in the military and knew that there was a small antique shop on the corner of West Street, but its business was very good.

After Meng Xian found out, he went there without stopping after lunch that day.

The clerk in the store saw that she was well-dressed and introduced her to her with great compliments.

Meng Xian is also an expert, and his unique insights make the clerk instantly understand.

"Yes, it seems that the girl is also an expert."

"Then just watch and tell me what I'm told."

Meng Xian has always been neat in doing things, especially when buying things;

Zheng Xuze stood aside, watching his sister spend money like water, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Fortunately, the Meng family is rich and his sister can make money herself.

Otherwise, such a fancy method,

Even the gold and silver mountains will be spent one day.

"Lianxian, Aze~"

The siblings settled their accounts and were about to leave when they were stopped by a gentle and gentle voice.

Xun Sheng looked around and saw an exquisite carriage parked under a strong willow tree opposite the antique shop, and also a young girl.

Although the other person was wearing a curtain hat and couldn't see his face clearly, both Meng Xian and Zheng Xuze recognized the person at a glance.

The two exchanged glances, both a little surprised.

Meng Lin has always stayed close to home, so why...

While the two were thinking about it, Meng Lin had already walked up to them.

-

Teahouse:

"Aze has been in Beijing for a long time, but he hasn't met me a few times. So it seems that I only see you, my dear sister, and not me anymore?" Meng Lin joked with a smile.

Zheng Xuze hurriedly put down his tea cup and explained: "Of course not. I really can't get out of my way during the military service. I'm so tired that I fall asleep when I get home. My aunt and sister are very strict about etiquette. I'm afraid it would be too rash to come to the door in a hurry."

Meng Lin paused, "Why do my family talk about these false etiquette? You live with Mianxian, do you still say hello in the morning and evening?"

"My sister and aunt are different from us. My sister and I are used to being loose and free, and don't like to be restrained, so we don't dare to come rashly."

These words almost made it clear that Wang looked down on merchants.

Meng Lin also felt that she was wrong. She glanced at Meng Xian who was silent next to her and hesitated several times.

"Sister, why did you come to see me and Aze today?" Meng Mian asked warmly.

"It's okay, can't we three siblings talk to each other?"

When Meng Lin said this, she was extremely helpless.

Suddenly there was dead silence in the room.

Meng Xian didn't know how to answer it.

"Sister, don't worry too much. Neither Aze nor I mean not to see you or to alienate you, it's just..."

"It's just because of my mother, right?" Meng Lin took over.

Meng Xian remained silent, her meaning self-evident.

She has never been willing to aggravate her temperament. If Wang doesn't want to see her, she also hopes to stay away from each other until death.

Why bother to come to your door and find someone who doesn't want to be seen?

"Xianxian, I'm looking for you because I have something I want to ask you clearly."

There was a long silence, and finally Meng Lin spoke up to break the tense situation.

"Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"When Aze joined the army, the army was not recruiting and expanding. Aze's wish came true, but are you going to deal with it for him?"

Meng Xian was stunned. It had been so long. She really didn't expect that Meng Lin would mention it again.

"That's not really true. After all, it's Aze who has the ability to stand up. Otherwise, even if I can make plans for him, he won't be able to stand in the army."

"Xianxiao, if you and Aze need help, you can send someone to tell me. It's not like there is no one at home, so there is no need to owe favors outside."

???

own someone?

Whose favor?

Meng Xian didn't turn around for a while, her eyes were full of confusion.

"Jiang Xiaohou has a prominent status, and his every move is watched by countless people. You must be careful, keep your wealth to yourself, and don't get into trouble."

That's what happened.

"Everyone knows that the Meng family is extremely wealthy, so there is no need to say whether it is revealed or not."

"As for Mr. Jiang Xiaohou, my sister must have heard about why I am related to him. Other than that, there is nothing else."

Meng Lin couldn't help but ask again: "That day during the Princess Ning's Full Moon Drinks, the princess praised you very much. When did you meet the princess?"

Meng Xian felt uncomfortable, feeling like she was being interrogated.

Although Meng Lin's voice was low, her tone was unmistakable and she would not give up until she heard her reply.

"Princess has been to Xiangrongzhai once. It was just once that she happened to meet and said a few words."

"So that's it." Meng Lin felt relieved, "Xianxian, don't blame my sister for talking too much. Beijing is not as good as Jiangnan, and the government is in chaos now. It's always right to be prudent and cautious."

Meng Xian lowered her eyebrows and smiled softly, with picturesque features, "I understand that my sister cares about me."

The girl's eyes are slightly curved, and her face is full of beauty;

This made Meng Lin, who could be called pretty, look much duller next to her.

It was hard for Meng Lin not to notice the difference between her sister Meng Xian and herself.

Although my mother often taught me that when a man marries a virtuous wife, he only considers her appearance when taking concubines;

But there is no woman in the world who doesn’t love beauty.

Who doesn’t want to be more beautiful than others?

Before, she could still be a little proud of herself for knowing the rules and general knowledge.

But the older she grew, the more she realized the benefits of being more beautiful than others.

Just like Princess Ning only met Meng Xian once,

He can be eloquent and boast non-stop. In the final analysis, it is not the advantage of good looks.

And she has adhered to the rules and etiquette for so many years, but she has only become dignified and virtuous.

It's really sad to think about.

Even...

Jiang Heng,

I'm afraid she might be like Princess Ning.

Otherwise, how could a cold-hearted person like him be willing to help Meng Xian, a stranger he had never met, repeatedly.

She had been cautiously attracted to Jiang Heng for so many years, and every time she met him, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing or take the wrong step and make him hate him.

But even so, he was still as cold to her as ever.

His father's repeated explicit and implicit suggestions were all politely rejected by him.

As if she were to him,

He was just a passer-by who was not worth mentioning and didn't bother to pay any more attention to her.
