Chapter 24: My Aunt Visits Relatives

General Meng's Mansion.

The Wen family and others waited until the sunset before leaving. Wen Heng was drunk again, but fortunately, his father did not dare to be too rude because the world was around.

At this moment, Ersi and Qi Zhe were supporting him and putting him on the carriage. Meng Bishuang bid farewell to Shi Qing and others.

The last carriage Shi Qing got on: "Uncle, please stay."

Everyone in General Meng's mansion went to see off the guests outside the mansion, and did not enter the mansion until the Wen family's carriage left. Because in this capital, the Meng family only has the Wen family, so they naturally value it the most.

On the way, Wen Heng fell asleep in the carriage, and Meng Bishuang was also frightened, fearing that Wen Heng said something that should not be said, even if it was her brother's family, but if someone heard something bad, it would also affect the Meng family.

.

Shi Qing was always reading his own book, while the sixth girl was admiring some hairpins given by her two cousins. Meng Bishuang looked at them and thought they were very beautiful: "Those were given by the Qingdai sisters? So many."

"I thought they looked good, so I begged my cousins ​​for two, but my two cousins ​​gave them all to me. I didn't want them, but my cousins ​​said they didn't need them..."

"Sapphire and Qingdai know that you love to dress up, so I gave up my love to you."

"But I said it... but the two sisters said that they like something more plain. These are too fancy and they can't wear them." The sixth girl put away a few hairpins and hugged them in her arms.

"Then you have to give them some gifts they like in return."

"My daughter knows," the sixth girl replied.

Outside, a young boy from the Wen family came. Mother Li asked some questions. The two of them came closer and talked in a low voice. Mother Li nodded and signaled the young boy to leave.

The curtains were half-closed, and Meng Bishuang happened to see this scene. She recognized the boy as the person in their room.

Meng Bishuang thought there must be something going on in the house, so she opened the curtain and asked Mother Li: "What's important?"

Li's mother raised her head and responded: "It's said that a sister-in-law came to visit relatives from the fourth room."

"Sister...is that Mrs. Zhao?"

Mother Li nodded; Meng Bishuang smiled as she listened: "Why did Madam Zhao come to our Earl's Mansion? Doesn't she look down on our Earl's Mansion?"

"The guy said that she came alone, wearing plain clothes and holding a wooden box wrapped in floral cloth in her hand," said Mrs. Li.

"Alone?" Meng Bishuang realized more and more something was wrong. Shouldn't she have come in a big way? How could she be alone and still wearing plain clothes?

"Not through the main entrance?" Meng Bishuang guessed.

"Yes, go through the side door and ask the boy to inform the fourth room. It's Mother Liu who came out to collect it."

"Didn't you go to the old lady to say hello?"

"I didn't go, I just stayed in the fourth room for a while, and said that when Mrs. Zhao came out of the side door, her face was full of disgust, and she spurned Mother Liu..." Mother Li said.

"Do you know what's in her wooden box?" Meng Bishuang became more and more curious.

"No one saw it, so my sister-in-law went to the fourth room. Mother Liu was the only one waiting inside," Mother Li responded as she walked.

Meng Bishuang didn't ask any more questions. She closed the car curtain and thought about it for a long time...

Wenfu.

Arriving outside the Wen Mansion, Wen Heng was shaken awake by his mother: "Master, we are at the manor."

"I... can still... drink." Wen Heng was drunk. He glanced at Jun's mother with one eye open and pointed at her: "Don't stop me."

"Take the master back to the house, remember to cover the master's mouth in time." After the queen's mother finished speaking, Ersi and Qi Zhe got into the car, helped the master out of the car, and took him to the house.

The master got out of the car first, followed by his mother...the sixth girl got off the car last.

Shi Qing got out of the car, straightened her clothes, and bowed: "Mother, that child has gone back to the house first."

Jun Mu nodded: "Go ahead." She turned around and asked Miss Six: "Are you going to your grandmother's house with me or going back to your own house?"

"I'll follow my mother." The sixth girl handed the box to Chun Equinox next to her: "Take it back to the house and remember to put it away."

"Good girl" bowed at the Spring Equinox and returned to the main courtyard.

While walking on the verandah, the sixth girl accidentally burped. Junmu glanced at her and said silently: "Fortunately, you are at your own house... You have eaten a lot of snacks today, and you are so messy.

How can this stomach bear it?”

"I didn't eat anything. It's just that the snacks made by my cousin were really delicious. I was greedy and ate more." Miss Six stroked her belly and pouted.

"There has to be a certain amount, isn't it? If something is delicious, you must eat more." Even though Mrs. Jun scolded Miss Six, she also ordered Mrs. Li to go to the kitchen to prepare some soup for digestion.

"You have to control your food these days. It's best to eat light. Don't eat yourself up. In a few days, you will have to go to Chen Guogong's mansion for a banquet." Junmu walked in front and ordered; the sixth girl also agreed.

.

The big house has a beautiful courtyard.

In the courtyard, several maids had cleaned the yard and were chatting happily together. They all showed off their new accessories and clothes, and gossiped about others. There was laughter after bursts of laughter...

And the ancient tree in the wing room in the side yard is also surrounded by a group of maids, some of whom are holding red silk in their hands, as if they have fallen from the tree...

Shi Qing was walking and reading a book when she heard a burst of laughter on the veranda. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a few maids surrounding an ancient tree. What came into view was a graceful maid standing there.

On the ladder, tie red silk to the branches...

"You're such a nice girl, she's tied up so high, God will definitely see her," said a maid with a pink flower hairpin.

"Yes, yes, they say that the higher the wish silk is tied, the more likely it will come true," said a maid with a rose hairpin.

"I also want to tie it higher," a maid with a lavender hairpin said jumping up and down.

Seeing this, Shi Qing slowly lowered the hand holding the book. He was curious. There was such a beautiful maid in his courtyard. Could it be that she was the newly married maid brought in by her mother?

Just when he wanted to see the maid's face, the maid also half-bowed to take off the red silk from the hand of the maid next to her, and now she tied another one on it.

"The girl's own red silk has been dried and tied to the tree." A maid handed the girl her own red silk.

The girl stretched out her hand to take it, and climbed two more floors. The maid below looked worried, but also envious: "Girl, this is the highest tied, God will definitely see it first."

The girl seemed to want to tie her up higher, but she was almost at the top of the ladder. If she climbed any further, the ladder would definitely shake and it would be dangerous.

The girl thought about it and decided to put her feet up and tie them as high as possible, but it was a bit difficult, but the girl still gritted her teeth and had to tie them up...

The maids below looked worried, and they all stretched out their hands, as if they were ready to catch the girl at any time.

"I hope our second son will go to high school for the imperial examination." The girl said this, and when Shi listened to the sound, she felt that it sounded familiar...
