Changxing Hou Mansion.

Meng Jinyao sat beside the crib, shaking her rattle and teasing her son who was lying on the crib. Listening to her son's innocent laughter, she felt her heart melting.

At this time, Ningdong walked in with a greeting card, presented it to Meng Jinyao, and said, "Madam, this is the greeting card sent by the second lady."

"Meng Jinyu?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned, shaking the rattle for a moment, and her eyes fell on the greeting card.

Ningdong nodded and replied, "It's her."

Meng Jinyao reached out to take the greeting card and glanced at the content on it. The greeting card said that after returning to Beijing, the sisters had not had a good gathering yet, so she and her husband would come to visit her tomorrow. I wonder if it would be convenient for her.

She curled her lips and smiled. She would have a rest tomorrow. As long as her husband had no other important matters and needed to go out, he would always be at home with her and Wan Wan. He really squeezed the time to send greetings. The visiting time was probably chosen by her second brother-in-law Deng Yuanqing. , it seems that Deng Yuanqing mentioned it in front of Meng Jinyu many times, but Meng Jinyu couldn't push it away, so he bit the bullet and sent the invitation.

Ningdong asked: "Madam, the second girl's maid is still waiting for your reply outside. Is this slave going to refuse you now?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly: "Why refuse them?"

Ningdong was stunned: "Is it possible that Madam will entertain the couple tomorrow?"

Meng Jinyao said with a smile: "My sister, who is married far away, returned to Beijing and came here with her brother-in-law to visit me, the eldest sister. How can I be unreasonable? Go and reply to the maid and tell me that I will not go out tomorrow. If you have free time, they can come tomorrow. "

Ningdong responded and immediately went to reply to the maid.

In the evening, Gu Jingxi came back.

Meng Jinyao chatted with him for a while and suddenly asked him: "Husband, do you have anything urgent to do tomorrow?"

Gu Jingxi said without hesitation: "Yes."

Meng Jinyao was slightly startled: "What's the important matter?"

"I'll stay with you Wanwan." After Gu Jingxi said that, he picked up the little guy on the soft couch. Seeing her startled again, he smiled and asked, "Isn't this an important thing? My husband thinks this is the most important thing. thing."

Meng Jinyao glared at him: "In front of the child, you should be more serious and speak properly, otherwise you will ruin Wanwan."

Gu Jingxi said nonchalantly, "This kid doesn't understand what I'm saying." He paused and then asked, "Ayao, you suddenly asked me like this, is there something wrong?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "My second sister and her husband are going to visit me tomorrow. Our second brother-in-law is urging me very diligently. She has no choice but to come and visit her. She wants to sing a great show of sisterly love with me."

Gu Jingxi asked: "How will Ayao prepare to sing with her?"

"If she is shameless, then I will disgrace her." Meng Jinyao sneered, remembering that Meng Jinyu forged her letters and acted like a sister in front of her husband's family, she became very depressed. For those who didn't know, she really thought that Meng Jinyu That's her baby sister.

Gu Jingxi said with determination: "Then she is destined to be disgraced in front of her second brother-in-law tomorrow."

Meng Jinyao chuckled: "It depends on whether she understands it or not."

-

The next day.

Meng Jinyu originally wanted to take advantage of her pregnancy lethargy and sleep directly to delay her visit to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion. Then she would send someone to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion to tell her that she was unwell and delayed her visit at another time.

Unexpectedly, her gentle and considerate husband woke her up early in the morning.

She was very angry, but she couldn't get angry easily. She said coquettishly: "Husband, I'm so sleepy. Can you let me sleep a little longer?"

Normally, Deng Yuanqing would obey her as long as it was an innocuous matter, but not today. He said warmly: "Ayu, today I have to visit my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law. We have to get up early and go there early. It was us who handed in the greeting card. If you want to visit, it’s better to keep them waiting, don’t you think?”

Meng Jinyu pretended to be sleepy, yawned and said, "It's okay. Sister has been pregnant with a child before. She should understand that pregnant women are sleepy and won't blame us."

Deng Yuanqing said patiently: "Ayu, I'm not saying that eldest sister will blame us for being late, but I think that eldest sister should miss you. My father-in-law is getting married that day, and eldest sister has to deal with those guests, and I don't think I have time to talk to you. Today is a good time for you sisters to get together."

Meng Jinyu had no choice but to get up reluctantly and let the maid come in to serve.

Deng Yuanqing has already ordered people to prepare gifts. He is also very measured. What he has prepared are specialties from Yangzhou and children's toys. The specialties are for the adults of the Gu family and the children's toys are for Wanwan. They are all easy to accept. He did not prepare any valuables such as jewelry. After all, he was going to visit relatives, not to bribe the court officials. Giving those things would definitely make them unhappy. Changxing Marquis Mansion is a hairpin. Yingshi family, what good things have you not seen? He doesn't lack anything.

Meng Jinyu got into the carriage with an uneasy mood, and was absent-minded along the way. If possible, she hoped to never see Meng Jinyao again in her life, and Meng Jinyu definitely didn't want to see her, but she couldn't help it. Her husband mentioned again and again that she would visit Meng Jinyao and his wife. , if she refuses again and again, it will inevitably arouse her husband's suspicion, and it will also reveal that she and her eldest sister are not actually close sisters.

Deng Yuanqing saw her frowning, thoughtfully, and then asked: "Ayu, you will see eldest sister later, aren't you happy?"

Hearing the sound, Meng Jinyu came back to her senses: "Husband, what did you just say?"

Deng Yuanqing asked again: "Aren't you happy to see eldest sister later? I see you have a frown on your face."

Meng Jinyu heard this and immediately smiled: "I'm happy, of course I'm happy. I was just thinking about my third brother. The assessment at Lingshan Academy was about to begin, but my third brother fell ill and couldn't take the assessment for so long. All the preparations we have made have been in vain.”

Deng Yuanqing said warmly: "How can it be in vain? The third brother studied hard not only to pass the academy's examination and enter the academy. He studied hard to acquire knowledge and improve his knowledge. He will have a better chance of winning when he takes the imperial examination in the future. Lingshan Academy is not the only one." Only students who study hard can be on the gold medal list, it doesn’t matter whether they go to Lingshan Academy or not.”

Meng Jinyu's smile was a little forced. She knew very well that the third brother's illness was caused by the third brother himself. At the same time, she also hated iron and steel. They all belong to the same father. How come the second brother can do it but the third brother can't? Lingshan Academy couldn't pass the exam. Last year, he couldn't even pass the examination as a scholar, but his second brother was the head of the case and stole the show.

Fortunately, fortunately, the third brother will inherit the title in the future. From now on, her biological brother will be Uncle Yongchang, so her husband's family will not dare to bully her.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Changxing Hou Mansion.

Meng Jinyu suppressed her cluttered thoughts and got out of the carriage with the considerate support of her husband. Then she was led by the servants of the Hou Mansion to see Meng Jinyao and his wife. When she saw Meng Jinyao looking at her with a half-smile, her heart skipped a beat.
