Meng Qianqian proposed a condition that seemed reasonable.

Tan'er is her maid, but her food, clothing and other expenses are no different from Bai Yuwei's. She calls her sister all the time, so Shang Wuyou can naturally see that she treats Tan'er as her sister.

So, for Tan'er, she might do this.

But, is Tan'er's life story really as she said?

Forget it, no matter what bad plan she had, he had to go back to Qianji Pavilion.

Tan'er is just a greedy little girl with great martial arts skills, but she is not difficult to deal with.

As for why he placed Tan'er by his side instead of someone else, Shang Wuyou felt that it was because Meng Qianqian had no choice.

Others are too eye-catching and would arouse suspicion at first glance.

Tan'er looks harmless, and no one would take her seriously even if her purpose is suspicious.

Shang Wuyou made a decision in his heart and looked at Meng Qianqian calmly: "Okay, I'll take her to Qianji Pavilion to find her father."

"I want you to look for it secretly and not make it public."

Meng Qianqian's implication was that she didn't want the rest of the people in Qianji Pavilion to know.

Shang Wuyou frowned and asked, "Why?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. No one can guarantee that her father didn't marry someone else. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you are the only one who knows about this matter. With your status as the young master, it shouldn't be difficult to secretly investigate a disciple."

"understood."

Shang Wuyou responded indifferently.

Meng Qianqian added: "Go and say goodbye to Uncle Yu."

Shang Wuyou was like a rebellious child and was unwilling to follow any of Meng Qianqian's instructions.

But in order to prevent Meng Qianqian from changing her mind at the last minute, he went after all.

Uncle Yu was watering his wife's favorite flowers and plants. These flowers were brought from far away from home, so they had to be taken good care of, otherwise they would die if they were not careful.

When he heard that Shang Wuyou was leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going so early?"

"go home."

Shang Wuyou said.

Father Yu looked at Shang Wuyou, then at Tan'er, who was yawning behind him with a bag on her back: "You...you are from the Imperial City?"

Tan Er folded her arms: "He is, um, he's not!"

Father Yu said, "From your accent, that's not the case."

Tan Er pointed at Shang Wuyou and said to Father Yu, "Uncle Yu, his family just moved to the Imperial City as well. What a coincidence, his family didn't notify him either!"

Shang Wuyou whispered: "Isn't it because I was caught by you?"

Father Yu scratched his head awkwardly: "I don't think your father did it on purpose."

"Tan Er, are you going too?"

Uncle Yu asked.

The little girl loves to eat braised pork. Coincidentally, his wife also likes it. His wife will definitely like the little girl very much.

"Yes." Tan'er looked up at the sky and sighed softly, "From today on, I will be his maid!"

As she spoke, she suppressed her exaggerated sadness and grinned at Father Yu, "Uncle Yu, please tell Aunt Yu that I'm going out to play for a few days. I'll greet her when I come back!"

Father Yu said with a smile: "I was afraid you wouldn't come back. You scared me. By the way, nephew Shang, where is your home? I'll ask Lai Fu to take you there."

Without waiting for Shang Wuyou to speak, Tan'er smiled and said, "No need, let's go by ourselves!"

Shang Wuyou said calmly: "How do we get there? Don't tell me we are going to walk."

Tan'er grabbed Shang Wuyou and said, "Let's go!"

Si She and Ji Li secretly escorted the two to Qianji Pavilion and watched with their own eyes as Shang Wuyou brought Tan'er into the gate.

"gone."

Said the Snake.

Ji Li waved his folding fan and said, "Ashe, do you think this kid can do it? He won't cause any trouble, right?"

"do not know."

The snake turned and left.

"Hey! Ah Snake!"

Ji Li quickly caught up with him, "Ashe, I noticed that you have been in a low mood since you avenged the Grand Marshal. How should I put it? It's like you have lost hope and don't know what the meaning of living is. Hey, do you want me to tell you a fortune?"

Snake said calmly: "You should worry about yourself."

"I don't have anything to worry about... Uwaaa——"

Ji Li stepped on a stone slab and fell into a dry well.

"Why am I...unlucky again..."

"Ashe...give me a hand..."

The Snake paused.

Yes, Ji Li had hardly had any bad luck in the past few months. He once thought that his fate of five disadvantages and three shortcomings had been changed after his marriage with the princess.

The snake turned back to the well and looked down at him.

The well was too narrow for Ji Li to even move: "Ashe, what are you looking at? Pull me up quickly."

Snake: "You are with the princess, so you won't be unlucky, right?"

Ji Li said: "Who said that? It's bad luck as it should be!"

It’s just that Princess Wanping will not be affected by his bad luck.

"Hey, Ah She, you haven't been evened by me today--"

Before he could finish the word "tired", the well mouth collapsed, and the snake that was pulling Ji Li fell down with an expressionless face.

-

Yu family.

Meng Qianqian met Madam Yu.

When meeting Father Yu yesterday, Meng Qianqian felt that Yu Zichuan was quite like him. After meeting Madam Yu today, she realized that Yu Zichuan was most like her.

No wonder Yu Zichuan is so handsome at such a young age. Madam Yu is also a rare beauty.

Her eyes were clean and bright, without a trace of tiredness or vicissitudes. After being married for many years, she still had the agility she had before getting married.

This is what it looks like to marry the right person.

Madam Yu took Meng Qianqian's hand and sat on the chair. She turned her head and glared at Yu Zichuan: "Son, you brought guests home, why didn't you wake me up?"

Yu Zichuan said resentfully, "Dad didn't let me scream, and he kicked me out of my room."

Madam Yu glared at Father Yu at the door: "This is where you are wrong."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong!"

Uncle Yu bowed and admitted his mistake outside.

Madam Yu forgave him and said to her son, "Don't blame your father. You are indeed quite noisy."

Yu Zichuan took a deep breath: He was indeed an accident.

Meng Qianqian has accumulated a lot of experience in getting along with other ladies in the capital. She is calm and eloquent far beyond her peers, and Mrs. Yu took to her at first sight.

Upon learning that she was one of the famous Twelve Guards, he couldn't help but favor her even more.

"Mrs. Lu, Xiaochuan must have caused you a lot of trouble. I don't know who this child takes after. Obviously, neither his father nor I are stubborn people."

Meng Qianqian smiled politely: "Aunt Yu, if you don't mind, you can call me Xiaojiu."

Madam Yu laughed and said, "That's what I'll call you then!"

"Ah."

Meng Qianqian nodded and told Mrs. Yu about the interesting things that happened to Yu Zichuan in the capital.

In fact, she had only known Yu Zichuan for more than a year, and she heard many things from Lu Yuan, such as that Yu Zichuan loved to eat Zhou Ji's osmanthus cake, that Yu Zichuan learned archery from a group of Jinyiwei who wielded knives, and that Yu Zichuan had to take a bath three times.

The first time he rubbed his back, Yu Zichuan didn't let anyone else touch him. Lu Yuan rubbed his back, which made Lu Yuan feel disgusted.

As soon as Mrs. Yu heard this, she knew that her son had lived a good life in the Governor's Mansion during the past few years.

If it were worse, I wouldn't refuse to come back every year.

He has grown taller. He used to look frail, but now he is a handsome young man in fine clothes.

Mrs. Yu suddenly burst into tears.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly grabbed her wrist: "Aunt Yu, what's wrong with you? Did I say too much just now?"

Madam Yu choked up and said, "No... I just want to cry... I've been crying every day since I got pregnant... Don't worry about me..."

……

An hour later, Meng Qianqian came out of Mrs. Yu's room.

While the two of them were talking in private, Yu Zichuan and he left.

While his father went to greet guests, he sat outside polishing his bow.

Yu Zichuan raised his eyes and walked to Meng Qianqian: "You talked to my mother for so long?"

His mother didn't talk to him for so long.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Your mother cares about me a lot and wants to know if you are doing well in the capital."

"Oh."

Yu Zichuan seemed to have expected his mother to ask this question, and he was not worried that Meng Qianqian would give a answer that would make his mother worry.

Perhaps this is a kind of unspoken trust and tacit understanding.

"How is my mother?"

He said, "It is said that it will be very difficult for her to get pregnant at this age."

Meng Qianqian said: "It is indeed hard, but fortunately Aunt Yu's pulse is very stable for three months."

Yu Zichuan asked, "How old is three months?"

Meng Qianqian stretched out her index finger and compared it with her thumb: "About this big."

Yu Zichuan was stunned: "That much?"

Meng Qianqian was amused by his surprised expression.

She couldn't help but think of Mrs. Wang who was far away in the capital. She should have given birth. She hoped that she and her child were well.

"By the way, where is Lu Yuan?"

she asked.

Yu Zichuan pointed back and said, "I'm chatting with my dad. Chen Long just went out, but he didn't say what he was going out for."

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Now that we have made a plan, he will abide by it."

She guessed that her brother was probably going to find out information related to Qianji Pavilion.

When the two entered the main room, Uncle Yu was sighing helplessly, and no one knew what the two had just talked about.

Meng Qianqian gave Lu Yuan a questioning look.

Lu Yuan motioned for her to sit down.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Yu Zichuan asked.

"Ah, Xiaojiu, you're here."

Uncle Yu asked Meng Qianqian to sit down.

Yu Zichuan, who was ignored by his biological father: "..."

"You're at home, do you still need someone to greet you?"

Lu Yuan hooked a stool for him with one leg.

Yu Zichuan sat down with a gloomy face.

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and asked Father Yu, "Uncle Yu, have you encountered any troubles?"

"Hey."

Father Yu sighed, "My child's mother and I have moved to Beijing for two months, and I still haven't figured out what to do for a living."

Meng Qianqian said: "I heard from Yu Zichuan that the Yu family used to run a winery."

Father Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the Yu family's ancestral recipe has been used to brew wine for many years. It's a pity that the Yu family's wine needs to use local spring water, otherwise it will lose its flavor."

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Father Yu was worried: "But apart from brewing wine, I don't know how to do anything else for a living."

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and asked softly, "Uncle Yu, would you consider making medicinal wine?"

"Medicine?"

Father Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It's a good idea to make up for the missing flavor with efficacy, but I don't understand medicine."

Meng Qianqian asked Yu Zichuan, "Do you have any writing materials?"

"Have."

Yu Zichuan brought out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Meng Qianqian wrote down a recipe for medicinal wine: "Uncle Yu."

Lu Yuan looked at him inquiringly: Do you also know about medicinal wine?

Meng Qianqian: My grandmother taught me.

During the one month in Wushan, Liu Muyan honed everyone's skills and learned many of Wushan's unique secret recipes.

Yu Zichuan said: "Dad, this recipe is very valuable. I advise you not to refuse it."

Father Yu, who had no intention of refusing, said: "..."

Nowadays, if you want to be polite, your son will always see through you.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Uncle Yu, we brought this medicinal wine with us. There are two jars in the carriage. Would you like to try the taste?"

Father Yu said hurriedly: "Oh, that would be great!"

Meng Qianqian once again successfully resolved Uncle Yu's embarrassment, and Uncle Yu couldn't help but like Meng Qianqian so much.

It’s a pity that we’re already married, otherwise if she could be my daughter-in-law, I can’t imagine how satisfied my wife and I would be.

Yu Zichuan went to get it.

The medicinal wine was prepared for Lu Yuan. It has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, calming the mind and promoting sleep.

Even though Lu Yuan no longer had a cold.

But in order to perform the whole act, he insisted on drinking all the way.

After drinking a small cup of wine, Uncle Yu immediately broke out in a sweat and felt his nose, which had been blocked for several days, was hurting.

"This medicinal wine is extraordinary. If I brew it, it will be more fragrant. Xiaojiu, I will teach you how to brew it later."

Yu Zichuan poked his father's shoulder with his index finger: "Dad, didn't you pass on the winemaking technique only to me?"

Father Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't you want to inherit the family business?"

Yu Zichuan was speechless: "..."

Uncle Yu handed the wine glass to his son.

Yu Zichuan: "I don't drink."

Father Yu: "I'll fill it up for you."

Yu Zichuan: Another unpopular day.

Father Yu took a few more sips and said, "It's warm in the throat and sweet in the aftertaste. It's not easy to make medicinal wine like this."

Thinking of something, he said, "How much of this medicinal wine is left?"

"Two altars."

Meng Qianqian said, "If Uncle Yu wants to drink..."

"No, no, no, I don't want to drink." Father Yu waved his hand, "You have just entered the Imperial City, I'm afraid you don't know about the Imperial edict."

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan exchanged glances.

Meng Qianqian said: "I would like to hear the details."

Father Yu said, "The Crown Prince's Mansion is holding a wedding on the 26th of this month. I heard that the Imperial Master loves fine wine, so His Majesty has posted an imperial notice to find fine wine for the Imperial Master. If you are selected, you can personally offer wine to the Imperial Master at the wedding banquet. This is simply a living sign. Now all the wine shops in the imperial city are ready to take action. There are many people who want to take the imperial notice every day. I originally wanted to take the notice too... but the wine I brought broke halfway."

Meng Qianqian was shocked when she heard this.

It was common to post imperial edicts to cure diseases and save lives, but it was unheard of to find wine for the imperial teacher.

Does Emperor Liang dote on the Imperial Preceptor too much?

Just because he helped her find her grandson?

However, on the other hand, it is also a good opportunity for them to get close to Gongsun Yanming.

If he could personally offer wine to Gongsun Yanming, he would have the opportunity to assassinate Gongsun Yanming.

Even if I can't see him in person, I can put some poison in the wine and make sure he won't notice.

"Do you want to reveal it?"

Meng Qianqian asked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said: "Reveal."

If you are lucky enough, you can reveal the imperial edict and not only get close to Gongsun Yanming, but you may also be able to complete the emperor's request and meet the old friend he mentioned.

Lu Yuan looked at Father Yu and said, "Uncle Yu, where is the imperial edict?"

Father Yu said, "I'll let Lai Fu take you there."
