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

Meng Xian had a habit of "judging people by their appearance" since she was a child.

And instead of correcting this problem as he grew up, it only got worse.

Ms. Meng San, who spent a lot of money, booked many theaters for famous opera actors in Jiangnan, so that ordinary people could listen to the music for free.

Of course, there was another reason - there was a young man in the troupe who looked exactly like her.

Money can't buy Miss Meng's affection.

Meng Xian looked pleasing to the eye and was willing to use her most scarce money to support him.

In short, Meng Xian likes everything from large people to small objects around him. The second is whether they are useful or not. The most important thing is that they should look beautiful and delicate, so that they can be pleasing to the eye.

So when Meng Hong said this, it really didn't mean he had wronged her.

Recalling the past, Meng Qi couldn't help laughing, "Speaking of it, I have seen Prince Jiang up close. It's not surprising that he can catch the eyes of Third Sister with such a character."

Jokes aside, let’s get down to business.

Meng Hong had a serious look on his face, "Third sister, my eldest brother also knows that when it comes to relationships, you can't force yourself, so when the Cui family wanted to book you in the early years, because you didn't like it or not, dad and I pushed it away whenever we could."

"But now you seem to be obviously different about Mr. Jiang Xiaohou."

Meng Xian just subconsciously wanted to ask what was different, but Meng Hong didn't give her a chance to interrupt and continued to talk to himself.

"I have watched you grow up, and I understand you far better than my parents; whether it is the look on your face when you mention Prince Jiang, or the interactions between you, it shows that this person is different from others to you. .”

Meng Qi nodded in agreement, "No, I've seen it a long time ago. With your temper, if you didn't like it, you would have pushed him eight feet away."

Meng Lian's girlish thoughts hidden deep in her heart were exposed by these two people's straightforward words.

Admittedly,

Whether you are happy or not is the most difficult thing to hide in this world.

It may be hidden deep in my heart,

But the affection and nostalgia between the eyebrows and eyes will be revealed inadvertently.

The girl was slightly embarrassed, "Brother, I haven't even said a word about him yet, and I haven't promised him yet."

Meng Hong paused slightly, a little surprised, "You mean - it was Mr. Jiang Xiaohou who took the initiative to express his feelings to you first?"

"..."

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Meng Xian was really angry.

The head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, but the face cannot be lost.

What Meng Hong just said was a great "humiliation" to her personality.

Realizing that he had accidentally spoken his true feelings, Meng Hong laughed twice.

"No, it's nothing, just a little unexpected."

!!!

You're surprised that you still say it's not interesting?

Meng Hong slightly shrugged his shoulders and spoke with a hint of defense, "Brother, I'm not belittling you. Who made this little Marquis famous? Who made you -"

Meng Lian's eyes widened slightly, and she seemed to think that if you keep talking nonsense, I will fight you.

"——Who told you to look at your face and put your dishes on the table? It's so impressive."

Meng Hong smiled at the corners of his eyes and slowly completed the unfinished words one by one.

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Wan and Meng Qi couldn't help but pursed their lips and chuckled.

Meng Lian: "..."

It sounds like you are not the same?

……

"Hey, Third Sister, you just said that you haven't given a clear reply to Prince Jiang yet, right?" Meng Wan took over the conversation and asked.

"of course."

Miss Meng San was very arrogant, "I naturally have to think carefully about emotional matters."

Meng Hong: "The implication is that you are just pretending to be reserved, but you will agree in the end, right?"

Meng Xian couldn't bear it anymore.

With a "ferocious look" on his face, he rushed towards Meng Hong with his teeth and claws bared, and he punched the opponent without daring to kick.

"Ah ah ah, brother, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak!"

The brother and sister played around for a long time like they did when they were children.

In the end, Meng Hong relented and coaxed him in a low voice for a long time before the matter was over.

"Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble."

"If you really have such a fate, then don't go against your own will and just take advantage of it."

"But remember, no matter what happens, don't wrong yourself, and don't bully others by arrogantly."

Meng Xian was dissatisfied and said, "Brother, my elder brother always warns others not to bully his sister. Why do you do the opposite?"

"And you don't even ask a few questions, so you can trust me so much?"

Meng Hong: "With your temper, I'll be thankful if you don't bully others."

"Besides, everyone knows what Prince Jiang's character is, so why should I worry about him?"

Meng Xian felt a little strange.

I can’t tell where it came from, but that’s how I feel.

"Brother, why do I feel like...you seem to be very familiar with Jiang Heng?"

Meng Hong smiled meaningfully, "It's not that we are familiar with each other, but we have some understanding."

Meng Xian was confused and didn't understand.

"It's not a big deal. I will tell you when the time comes."

That’s what I don’t want to say now.

Meng Xian knew what her eldest brother didn't want to say, and no one could pry it out from him.

I simply stopped asking.

In the years since the eldest brother took over the family business, he has had many contacts with the government.

And Jiang Heng is a celebrity among the powerful people in the capital.

It's normal to hear some rumors about him.

Thinking of this,

She won't worry about these trivial matters anymore.

……

Meng Hong stayed in the capital for five days, and on the sixth day he set off back to Jiangnan.

After all, such a big family fortune is there,

The unreliable father took my mother on a sightseeing tour again.

As the eldest son, he naturally has to put in more effort.

Meng Wan and Meng Qi did not stay in the capital anymore.

Meng Wan set off for Yuhang, while Meng Qi went to Yangzhou.

It’s the same as Meng Xian’s shop industry in the capital.

Both of them went to check on the operations of their stores and collect the bills.

The house that had been bustling for a few days suddenly became empty again.

Meng Xian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Zheng Xuze's return was a relief after the loss.

Zheng Xuze returned home with a full load, bringing with him various specialties from his hometown, including tea, pastries, and several jars of wine.

Meng Lian teased him, "Why are you hungry while I'm here? What are you doing with these things?"

"My mother asked me to take care of her. She wouldn't be happy if I didn't take her."

"My mother specifically asked me to give some to my peers in the military camp, and then give some to the deputy generals and the others."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xuze looked embarrassed.

"Sister, do you think I should give some to the prince?"

Meng Lian: "You can give it to you if you want, but it's hard to say whether he will accept it or not."

Zheng Xuze: "Sister, how about you help me deliver it?"

Meng Xian raised her head and gave him a cold look.

"You are so brave that you dare to order me?"

"Hehe, I mainly think that if you give it away, the prince will definitely accept it."

"...?"

"And I received it happily!"

"..."

"Speaking of which, sister, I've been away for so long, how are you and the Crown Prince getting along?"

Meng Xian sighed: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Nonsense! Why do I ask you if I want to lie?"

"The truth is - there is no progress."

Zheng Xuze's eyes widened in disbelief, "It's impossible, how long has it been..."

As if he thought of something, he then said with a clear look, "How could I forget that my eldest brother has been here some time ago, so of course you all don't dare to mess around."

"Zheng Xuze, pay attention to your wording. What does it mean to be messy?"

"Okay, sister, it's settled then. I'll ask you to make a trip and help deliver these to the Crown Prince's house."

"Let's go meet someone by the way."

After saying that, he ran away without giving Meng Xian a chance to refuse.

"I'm going back to my room to catch up on my sleep. Call me when dinner is ready."

……

Meng Xian looked at the back of her cousin who was almost running away, and pursed her lips slightly.

That's it,

It’s okay to go there once.

Simply——

She also wanted to see him.
