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

At night, Meng Wan went to bed early.

Meng Xian tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Seeing that the moonlight was just right outside the window, he put on a robe and came to the yard.

The moonlight is bright, shining in the courtyard like daylight.

Meng Xian looked at the cold and noble moon in the sky, and for some reason, Jiang Heng's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Everyone said that the prince of Wu'an was more handsome than Pan An.

When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.

Then I thought of Cui Yusheng in prison, which made me feel depressed.

As my father said when we were in Jiangnan,

This eldest brother of the Cui family is good at everything, but he is reckless and does things without considering the consequences.

When he was at home, the local people were simple and honest, and Cui often did good things such as building bridges and roads and opening warehouses to save people, so no one cared about him.

I didn't expect that this time the escort came to the capital, he would still be so ignorant.

It's not that it's wrong to save people, but that you shouldn't be too harsh on Shen Yu no matter what.

After all, he is the son of the Duke of Guo, and he also has the title of Uncle Guo.

If Cui Yusheng falls into the trap of someone who is interested, there is no guarantee that he will not be accused of being a person who has no law and is guilty of the following crimes.

If he encounters a serious person, and if the queen decides that he despises the royal family, then there is really no way to survive.

Although Meng Xian is from a daughter's family, she is able to run the three shops of Zhenbao Pavilion, Xiangrong Zhai and Yiyun Yi Pavilion in a prosperous manner. She has opened branches one after another, so her skills are certainly not small.

At this moment, she saw everything clearly.

It’s not that Jiang Heng agreed and he could rest easy.

This matter is big or small;

If the Shen family was willing to show their respect, this matter could be laughed off;

If the Shen family is determined to put Cui Yusheng to death;

I wonder if Jiang Heng can stop him?

But no matter what, Jiang Heng is their hope;

Just do your best and obey fate.

The personal maid Chun Yue hurriedly came to the courtyard. When she saw Meng Xian under the moonlight, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Girl, it's really scary how easy it is to find a slave."

Before the resettlement, Chun Yue saw that Meng Xian was restless, so she went to the drug store to get some soothing soup. She cooked the medicine and came to Meng Xian's room.

There was no one on the bed.

Chunyue grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and has been serving in the Meng family's old house. This time she came to Beijing for the first time, and she was quite in awe of the land under the emperor's feet;

In addition, we also know that the status of merchants is low, and their girls are so beautiful and rich, so there won't be someone plotting something evil.

Meng Xian knew what she was worried about and said with a warm smile: "This is our own house in the capital. Who can cause trouble here?"

Chunyue looked serious and said matter-of-factly: "That's hard to say. Uncle Zhong said that there are many evildoers in the capital. Girl, after Master Cui's incident is over, let's return to Jiangnan as soon as possible."

Meng Xian smiled and joked: "Didn't you say you wanted to come to the capital to see the world before? Why are you thinking about leaving now that you've just arrived?"

"Master Cui's incident made me feel that although the capital city is prosperous and wealthy, there is no comfort and ease in the south of the Yangtze River. And as the girl often said, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The more you accompany someone in a high position, the more trouble and danger there will be. There must be more.”

"Yes, Brother Cui's incident has made you grow up a lot. Now you see things so clearly."

Chun Yue was a little embarrassed by the praise, and handed the soothing soup on the tray held by the second-class maid Shun Xin behind her to Meng Xian's hand, "Girl, after drinking the soothing soup, please settle down quickly. I have to go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."

Yes.

Only then did Meng Xian remember that she had a trip to the Hou Mansion tomorrow morning. She drank the soothing soup and went back to her room to sleep.

.

next morning

Even though they don't live in the house in Beijing permanently, the two girls, Meng Xian and Meng Wan, still prepared a full table for breakfast.

Shredded chicken noodle soup, crab noodle dumplings, cream cheese, assorted fried rice, red dates and millet porridge, Yuzhu duck soup, plus various sweet and salty snacks, there are always more than ten kinds of snacks.

No words are spoken when eating, and no words are spoken when sleeping.

Although Meng was a businessman, the education of his children was excellent, and they were taught by famous teachers from all over the world who spent a lot of money to teach them.

Just look at the two sisters eating, chewing slowly, sipping tea and soup, their movements are elegant, and they are as beautiful as those in a painting of a lady.

The girl's family didn't have a big appetite, so Meng Xian used two small cages and put down her chopsticks after half a bowl of duck soup. Meng Wan was a little weak and used less, so she let the people at the table share the rest.

Meng Wan brought up business, "Aren't we going to the Marquis' Mansion today? When will we leave?"

"That's what the young Marquis said yesterday, but this matter can't be rushed."

Meng Wan yawned slightly, with some dark spots under his eyebrows, "Everyone says this capital is nice, but I don't feel as comfortable as Jiangnan."

"Sister, you didn't have any rest last night, okay?"

Meng Wan closed her eyes and rubbed the corners of her eyes, "Maybe I suddenly moved to another place, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

Meng Wan's personal maid Qiu Ning said: "The eldest girl sleeps lightly and chooses a bed. She hardly slept at all last night."

Meng Xian said warmly: "In that case, I'll just stay here and have a good rest."

Meng Wan: "I just hope it will be over soon."

Take this trip, the sky is high and the road is far away;

Asking for help is uncomfortable.

.

At three o'clock, Meng Xian once again boarded the carriage heading to Wu'an Hou's Mansion.

The car leisurely stopped on the right side of the mansion gate. Meng Xian carefully put on her curtain hat and then got out of the car with Chunyue's help.

To her surprise, Baili was already waiting there.

Seeing her coming, he hurriedly bowed forward and said, "Miss Meng, my eldest son invites you to go to the study for a detailed discussion. I will lead the girl there."

Meng Xian nodded, "Thank you."

At the door of the study, Chunyue was about to follow Meng Xian in when she was stopped by Baili, "Miss Meng, outsiders are never allowed to enter the prince's study."

Meng Xian understood and said, "Chunyue, you wait here, I will go in by myself."

Chunyue had no choice but to obey.

Baili opened the door and gave way to one side, letting Meng Xian enter the room. "Girl, please take a seat first. The prince will be here soon."

After saying this, Baili also exited the room.

There was no one around, so Meng Xian took off his curtain hat and put it aside, looking at it as if nothing had happened.

Solemn and quiet.

There is still agarwood burning in the incense burner, and the smoke is curling up, which makes you feel calm and intoxicated.

Unlike the aristocratic courtyard that Meng Xian expected, there are almost no precious toys and furnishings in the house, but it is still elegant and elegant.

The rosewood bookshelf is filled with volumes.

Meng Xian could also see that the several calligraphy paintings on the wall were priceless and unmarketable treasures.

There is a plaque hanging in the middle of the room, on which are written the four characters "loyalty to the emperor and defense of the country" written in fast and vigorous strokes. The handwriting is as graceful as a golden dragon. It can be seen that it is the handwriting of a famous calligrapher.

At this time, Meng Xian was suddenly mentally stunned.

Four words that are commonplace, four words that everyone who is an official talks about.

You can look at the entire court,

It seems that only Wu Anhou can really do it.
