The Meng family's carriage was stopped outside the city gate.
Father Meng patted his wife's hand, opened the curtain and walked outside the carriage. The servant who drove the carriage had already gone down. Seeing him coming out, he quickly took down the step stool and opened it, and put it on the ground so that Father Meng could step on the step stool. Get out of the carriage.
"Two officials." Father Meng stood firm, hurried forward to meet the guards, and bowed to the guards with a smile on his face.
"There are two female relatives in the car, so it's not convenient to get down."
The city gate guard gave him a squinting look, "Your accent doesn't sound like people digging around the capital, where did they come from?"
"It's from He County." Father Meng took out a small purse from his cuff, "This small amount of silver is just for me to invite some of you to have a drink. Please do me a favor."
The leader of the guards took the purse and padded it. This request was normal. He put the purse in his waist, nodded and said, "You don't need to come down for the female relatives, but let us check the inside of the carriage."
"Yes, yes, yes." Father Meng smiled flatteringly, and the guards stepped forward, one got down on the ground to check the bottom of the car, one raised his hand and knocked on the wall to make sure there was no interlayer, and the other two opened the curtain and probed into the car to quickly sweep glance.
"Boss, there is no problem with the carriage." The guards looked at the team leader, and the guard leader looked at Father Meng, "He is from He County, right? Lu Yin brought it for me to have a look."
Father Meng handed over an envelope with both hands, the head guard took it, took out the folded paper inside, unfolded it for a look, then folded the paper and stuffed it inside the envelope, and returned the envelope to Father Meng.
"Okay, no problem, you can enter the city."
Father Meng put away the guide, and bowed again and again, "Thank you, sir, for letting me go."
The guards clasped their hands casually, and each returned to the city gate and stood separately. Father Meng returned to the carriage, and the servant pulled the reins, and the carriage drove slowly towards the city gate.
"What are you doing with those gatekeepers for so long?" Mother Meng asked displeasedly after driving a distance with the carriage, when the guards at the city gate could not hear her.
"Those people were extremely rude. They slapped the carriage hard and looked at us as if they were catching thieves. You even gave them money."
Father Meng smiled helplessly, "It's only two taels of silver, a small amount of money, and it's good for them to do it conveniently."
"What convenience can they do?" Mother Meng curled her lips in disdain, "It's just a watchdog."
The anger on Meng's mother's face did not disappear at all, but Meng Yanxiao, who was reading a book, raised his head, "Mother, now we have arrived in the capital, and the capital is no better than He County. In Shangjing, my son said something bad, and the nobles in Shangjing In their eyes, when they look at our house, our house is similar to the dilapidated households you used to despise, so you should restrain yourself a little."
"Hey, you child, what are you talking about? Why did our Meng family settle down!" Meng's mother stopped listening immediately, and her shrill voice woke up Meng Wanxing, who was sleeping on a wooden box beside her.
"Mom, what are you arguing about!" Meng Wanxing covered her mouth and yawned, "I finally fell asleep, but you woke me up."
"It's not that your brother is sincerely angry with me, saying that our family will become a shabby household when we come to Shangjing." Meng Mu pulled the clothes on her chest, looked at the people in front of her, and felt that her chest was extremely angry. Shun.
"Brother, you are wrong to say that." Meng Wanxing turned her head to look at Meng Yanxiao after listening to Mother Meng's words, "The people in Shangjing are powerful and powerful, but Xie Yuejin will fly on the branches and become phoenixes. Brother, you will be the son-in-law from now on, and our family will be relatives of the emperor."
Meng's mother was pleased by the four words of royal relatives and relatives, and glared at Meng Wanxing, "What do you call Xie Yuejin, that's your future sister-in-law."
"Yo, mother's heart has changed so quickly." Meng Wanxing said in a toneless way, "I said before that Xie Yuejin is not good enough for my brother, and this will teach me not to call my future sister-in-law's name again."
Meng Yanxiao's hand holding the book tightened, a trace of melancholy appeared between his brows, and a little hesitation appeared on his handsome face.
"Selling melon seeds~"
"Candied haws and candied haws, two pennies a bunch~"
"Dough kneaders, come and take a look~"
The carriage bumped a bit, and the few people steadied their bodies, only to realize that they had arrived at the market in the city when they heard the noise outside.
Meng Wanxing lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked out. She happened to pass by an jewelry stand. Various hairbands and hairpins immediately fascinated her eyes.
It's a pity that the carriage was moving so fast that it didn't give her a chance to be nostalgic.
"Let's find an inn to have a meal first." Father Meng lifted the curtain at the door of the carriage and said to the outside.
The servant driving at the door responded in a low voice.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
"Master, madam, the inn is here."
Meng's father opened the curtain first and got out of the car, followed by Meng Yanxiao, followed by Meng's mother and Meng Wanxing.
"Hey, Xiao Er, go to the carriage and take it away. You can't park the carriage at the door now! When you startle the horse, what should you do if the horse gallops and has an accident!" Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper in the inn shouted.
Xiao Er put the sweat towel on his shoulders and hurried out of the inn, "The guest is here for dinner, right?"
Father Meng nodded.
"Then the smaller carriage will be taken down by the guests first, and the carriage cannot be parked here now." Xiao Er hurriedly said, Father Meng looked at the servant who was driving the carriage, "Ah Cai, drive the carriage away."
Xiao Er pointed in one direction, "Just go there, it won't block the way—"
Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of gongs in the distance, and then countless guards in armor ran over from the other end, holding long spears, standing on both sides of the road separately, and the spears intersected to block the people. behind.
The road where people come and go is instantly empty.
The sound of countless horseshoes stepping on the dust from far to near, followed by the rolling sound of wheels, the people on both sides of the road immediately knelt down, not daring to make a sound.
The Meng family also knelt down under Xiao Er's reminder, and from the corner of their eyes, they saw the guests who were drinking in the inn and knelt down immediately.
In two quarters of an hour, the long line passed by, and the imperial guards put away their spears and walked forward in unison.
The kneeling people got up and started doing their own work. Father Meng looked at Xiaoer and asked curiously, "I don't know what happened just now?"
"Oh, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess who just came back from the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. The guard of honor passed by."
Meng's mother's complexion suddenly changed, and when the waiter left, she tugged on Meng's father's sleeve and said in a low voice: "So that damn girl Xie Yuejin was in the carriage just now. She looks at us like a princess. As an elder, have you paid her three obeisances and nine kowtows?"
Father Meng frowned, "Ma'am, can you stop being so unreasonable, let alone the fact that the princess is in the carriage and doesn't know we are here, the word "elder" is not what you and I can afford now."
The more Meng's father thought about it, the more angry he went to the inn to open a box, and waited until Xiaoer wiped the seat and went out, then he finished the rest of the conversation.
"If these words reach the emperor's ears, our lives will be in danger." Meng's father is now deeply regretting that he was fascinated by beauty and married such a village girl who can't read big characters and doesn't know the slightest bit of etiquette.
"Isn't the emperor also our in-laws? His daughter will marry into our family, so why not be afraid that they will not please us with Xie's family?"
Meng Li is full of self-confidence. When she was a girl at home, her eldest sister-in-law was the daughter of the head of the next village. up.
Meng's father sighed heavily, because of Meng Li's innocence, "Princess, even if she is married to our Meng family in the future, it is our Meng family who will support her, not her to curry favor with us."
"I'm her mother-in-law, how can there be a mother-in-law to please a daughter-in-law?" Meng Li was not convinced. She had gone from a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law for so many years, and now it was finally time for her to show her prestige, but she still let her go. Do you want to hold your daughter-in-law low and low?
There is no such reason in the world.
"That's right." Meng Wanxing walked up to Meng Li's side and gave her a break. "Then if Xie Yuejin wants to marry my brother, she has to please us. Back then, she begged to marry our Meng family. Mother, you can rest assured and wait to be a mother-in-law."
"Meng Wanxing!" Meng Yanxiao yelled in displeasure, "Go back to your seat, a girl who has never left the court is not afraid of embarrassment when she has her marriage word on her lips."
Meng Wanxing snorted, stomped her feet, walked to a seat not far away and sat down.
[Meng Yanxiao favorability degree 10]
Meng Wanxing glanced at Meng Yanxiao, who looked angry, and didn't quite understand, "God, god, why is my brother angry, but why does he give me that favorability?"
"Because what you said about Xie Yuejin begging to marry him, please please him. Men are like this. They pretend not to listen to it, but they are actually very beautiful in their hearts." 9527 used the voice changer bought in the mall. , but I was a little bit guilty in my heart, the name Xie Yuejin gave it a bad feeling.
However, it has already given the script of this world to others, and this world is simply a blind eye to it.
Fortunately, it has found a suitable host. Although it is ugly and stupid, it is easy to control. It tricked her into saying that it was a fairy, and she thought she had roots of wisdom, so she foolishly believed it.
"Dong dong dong."
After knocking on the door three times, the wooden door with hollow patterns was pushed open, and Xiao Er walked in with the vegetable box.
"Guests, here comes your order."
Xiaoer put the dishes on the table, bent slightly and made a gesture of invitation: "Guests, please take your time."
Father Meng picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat. When he moved, the other three members of the Meng family followed suit.
Qi Heng put away his spell, and the scene of the Meng family having a warm meal disappeared in mid-air.
In the quiet hall, Xie Yuejin's expression was stunned from beginning to end.
Even the mouth was opened in shock, it was so big that it seemed that it could fit an egg.
Even after hearing what Meng Mu and Meng Wanxing said, their expressions did not change.
"Now tell father, after seeing all this, do you still want to marry this Meng Yanxiao?"
The cold and obviously displeased voice brought Xie Yuejin back to her senses. She was always articulate, but after seeing that scene, she was a little speechless at this moment.
"Father, just now... what was that just now?"
"The Meng family, they have already entered Beijing today." Qi Heng said indifferently, "It is estimated that they have finished eating by now. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check it out."
"No, no, no——" Xie Yuejin shook her head quickly, while drawing a frame with her hands, "I'm asking this..."
Said, Xie Yuejin lowered her voice again.
"Father, have you...become a fairy?"
Qi Heng glanced at her, "Don't try to change the subject, tell me - what are you thinking now?"
Father Meng patted his wife's hand, opened the curtain and walked outside the carriage. The servant who drove the carriage had already gone down. Seeing him coming out, he quickly took down the step stool and opened it, and put it on the ground so that Father Meng could step on the step stool. Get out of the carriage.
