After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Nanny Wan looked at the tall figure that disappeared at the end of the alley, then looked at Miss Baoshu who was sent back, and said with deep emotion: "The neighbors in the alley... are all good people!"

Meng Qianqian said to Baoshu, "Don't sneak out anymore, understand?"

He then instructed Nanny Wan, "Remember to lock the gate next time."

Baoshu's eyes rolled around and she glanced secretly at a corner of the courtyard wall.

Meng Qianqian: "Seal the dog hole too."

Bao Zhuzhu: "..."

Qingshuang came to pick up Baoshu at night. Meng Qianqian told her that she was going to attend a banquet. Coincidentally, Baoshu also wanted to go out and make new friends that day, so they hit it off.

This was the first time that Meng Qianqian visited someone else's home in her own name, and she couldn't go empty-handed. She was thinking about going to Mrs. Wang tomorrow to ask Mrs. Xing what she liked. Unexpectedly, Manager Cen came over at dawn.

He held up an exquisite jar and said with a smile, "I heard from Qingshuang that Miss Meng is going to visit Madam Xing. Madam Xing loves the crispy candies from our Governor's Mansion. I asked the cook to make some, and Miss Meng will take it to Madam Xing."

Meng Qianqian took the jar and said, "Thank you, Manager Cen."

Steward Cen smiled and said, "Miss Meng, you are too kind to me. Miss Meng is the future mistress of the Governor's Mansion and my master in the future. If Miss Meng needs me in any way, please let me know."

Meng Qianqian pursed her lips.

There is no room for instructions.

Seeing that she was silent, Manager Cen smiled and pointed at the jar in her arms and said, "Mrs. Xing has been wanting this for a long time. She will definitely like it."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Yes."

On the day of the banquet, Meng Qianqian and Yu Li packed up and took Banxia and Tan'er into their own carriage.

"Cousin, are you nervous?"

"Cousin is nervous?"

Yu Li hesitated for a moment and admitted truthfully: "A little bit."

The Yu family is considered a good family in Youzhou, but compared with the nobles in the capital, they are insignificant.

He whispered, "I heard that a brick dropped in the capital could kill three marquises."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Although not to the point, it does make sense. Under the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city, aristocratic families rise and fall, and the power of the dynasty changes. Those who spend a lot of money in the tavern may be a marquis today, but their property may be confiscated tomorrow. There are also common people who get rich overnight, fly up to the branches, wear official robes, and live a life of wealth and splendor."

After listening to this, Yu Li fell into deep thought.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, cousin. I'm here for you."

Yu Li: “Yeah!”

My cousin is really different from when she was a child. She has grown into a big girl and has a reassuring strength in her.

The carriage stopped outside the Xing Mansion and a group of people got off the carriage.

Yu Li said to the servant at the door: "My name is Yu Li, I am from Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, she is my cousin, her last name is Meng, we are from the same family."

The servant looked at Meng Qianqian in shock.

Meng Qianqian nodded slightly: "Yes, together."

The servant hurriedly said, "You two! My wife has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!"

The group entered the Shangshu Mansion.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhou arrived first. They sat in the garden chatting with several ladies and daughters. Next to Mrs. Zhou stood a pretty little maid.

The little maid saw Meng Qianqian from afar, blinked her big eyes, and walked towards Meng Qianqian quickly.

Tan Er's eyes widened: "Sister Zhou?"

Zhou Nanyan covered her mouth: "Shhhhh, keep your voice down, I sneaked out, don't let anyone hear me!"

After she finished speaking, she noticed that there was a strange man standing behind Meng Qianqian, "He is——"

Meng Qianqian said: "My cousin Yu Li just came to the capital."

Yu Li bowed and saluted.

Zhou Nanyan returned the greeting: "You are Sister Meng's cousin, so you are also my cousin. Do you know anyone in the capital?"

Yu Li shook his head.

"That's easy!" Zhou Nanyan ran away, and soon she dragged back a handsome young man, "My second brother Zhou Ye! Second brother, he is Sister Meng's cousin Yu Li, bring him along to play!"

Yu Li quickly bowed politely: "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Ye smiled and said, "You can just call me Zhou Ye. Yu Li, we are playing pot tossing. Come on, I'll take you there!"

Yu Li looked at Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and said, "Cousin, go play first, and then visit the ladies later."

Zhou Nanyan warned: "Second brother, you have to take good care of Master Yu.

Zhou Ye tapped her forehead and said, "You still don't trust your second brother? Yu Li, let's go. Uncle Xing will be leaving the court soon. Maybe he will come to watch us play pot tossing."

Yu Li was pulled away by Zhou Ye.

Meng Qianqian asked Zhou Nanyan, "You said you sneaked out, what happened?"

Zhou Nanyan said dejectedly, "I'm going to enter the palace, aren't I? Imperial Concubine Li suddenly sent a nanny to teach me the rules all day long. I'm not allowed to go out of the main door or the back door. I'm almost suffocating! Today, my grandmother tricked the nanny into having a drink, so I was able to sneak out. However, I can't let anyone find out that I'm at the Xing family's banquet, otherwise I'll be scolded again when I go back."

Meng Qianqian said: "It's really not easy."

Zhou Nanyan said aggrievedly, "Isn't it? By the way, Sister Meng, aren't you going to enter the palace too? Don't you have a tutor at home?"

Tan Er suddenly realized: "The person who was chased away by me turned out to be the teaching nanny sent by Concubine Li!"

Zhou Nanyan: “…”

Meng Qianqian and Zhou Nanyan went to greet the ladies and gave the gift to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing really liked it and couldn't let go of the jar.

Zhou Nanyan winked at her mother and aunts.

Mrs. Zhou said with amusement and anger: "I know, go and have fun!"

As soon as the two left.

The ladies exchanged glances and sighed with regret.

When they were boating on the lake that day, the Grand Commandant treated them with courtesy for Meng Qianqian's sake and sent Meng Qianqian home. They thought that the Grand Commandant was interested in Meng Qianqian.

Who would have thought that the Grand Commander was going to marry someone else.

"I heard she is a daughter from Miaojiang."

Mrs. Wang said.

"Whose daughter are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lin's voice arrived before she did.

Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "Where is your daughter? She hides all day long. When will she come out for us to see?"

Mrs. Lin curled her lips and said, "She is just like her father, a nerd!"

Madam Zhou joked, "He is the chief academician of the Imperial College, but you make him look like a nerd! Believe it or not, if you don't want this nerd, there are plenty of people who want him."

Madam Lin snorted, "Let's see who dares."

Madam Xing said to Madam Lin, "Recently, quite a few people have come to you to ask for your help in getting them into the Imperial College to study, right?"

Mrs. Lin sat down on the stone bench and waved her handkerchief tiredly: "Don't mention the Imperial College. I just want to hide away in peace here with you today."

On the other side, Yu also arrived.

During the five years that Marquis Anyuan was exiled, the situation in the capital had undergone tremendous changes, and those who now held important positions in the court were no longer the same as before.

Yu was not familiar with Madam Xing, and she got the invitation to the Shangshu Mansion through the introduction of a cousin of the Marquis.

In addition to visiting Mrs. Xing, she also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know several other ladies.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the mansion, she saw Meng Qianqian sitting in the pavilion.
