Chapter 432: A Meeting Ceremony for Zeyu's Fiancee
In this way, the two of them had breakfast together and left the Zheyue Tower.
The two of them had to hide their whereabouts, and naturally they would not be able to walk on the road in broad daylight, so they took the old-looking carriage to the Meng Mansion.
Meng Mansion is located in a deep alley, far away from the market. There are few people around and it is very quiet.
When they arrived at the alley, Zhao Ji led Li Can out of the carriage.
The two held hands and walked along the alley. Li Can looked around and saw that the houses here were not very big, just ordinary houses with one entrance and two entrances.
Zhao Zhen's uncle lives in such a place, and it seems that he is indeed an upright official.
Zhao Ye led her to a mansion, let go of her hand, and took out a key.
Li Can looked at the copper lock hanging on the vermilion door and couldn't help but wonder, was Zhao Ji's uncle not at home?
What about the rest of the family?
Why does Zhao Zhen still need to bring a key to open the door?
She had countless doubts in her mind, but she didn't ask any questions.
Once inside, it would be too late to ask Zhao Zong again.
She always felt that it was not so safe outside.
Zhao Zhen opened the door.
Li Can followed and walked in.
Zhao Ye raised his hand and closed the door again, and lowered the latch.
Li Can stepped forward and held him, and looked around. This was an extremely ordinary courtyard. It was clean and tidy, and everything around it was neatly arranged.
There was just no one in sight.
She was about to ask a question.
Zhao Ye then led her forward and explained to her in a low voice: "My uncle's house is next door.
There is a secret door on the wall."
After hearing this, Li Can understood that this was to prevent anyone from seeing them entering the Meng Mansion, so they walked this way.
"Whose house does this belong to?" Li Can looked back.
"At the end of last year, I asked someone to buy it." Zhao Zhen replied to her.
"Did you know at that time that you would come to Shenzhou?" Li Can asked him curiously, her long eyelashes fluttering.
"I had anticipated this when my father transferred my uncle to Shenzhou." Zhao Jie explained: "Corrupt officials have become a climate in Shenzhou. If they are not eliminated, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe."
"But how do you know His Majesty will send you here?" Li Can tilted her head and looked at him.
Zhao Ye glanced sideways at her: "What do you think?"
Li Can blinked his eyes and suddenly patted his forehead: "I'm so stupid, your uncle is naturally facing you.
If it's someone from the faction, your uncle may not pay attention to it, so he will keep it for you anyway, right?"
Zhao Zhi laughed softly and said nothing.
While the two were talking, they walked to a wall.
"Where is the door?"
Li Can looked around curiously.
This is just an ordinary red brick wall, with nothing visible at all.
"Don't worry." Zhao Zhi raised his hand and pressed on a brick.
The wall in front of me suddenly started to move.
Li Can couldn't help but open his eyes.
The wall in front of me slowly opened a small door, allowing only one person to pass through.
Zhao Zhen led her through the small door one after another.
Li Can turned around and saw that the small door was slowly closing and it was a tight seal. Although she walked through it once, she still couldn't see any flaws when she looked carefully.
"Here." Zhao Zong pointed it out to her.
Li Can leaned over and saw a very thin gap in the bricks, which was almost thinner than her hair. She couldn't help but admire him: "Whose craftsman is this? If you find it back, build a warehouse for me and hide it in
Isn’t it possible that no one can find it inside the house?”
Zhao Ye raised the corners of his lips slightly and led her forward: "When I go back, I will invite the craftsman back with me."
"That's good." Li Can agreed, but felt a little distressed: "But, should I build this warehouse at home or in the East Palace?"
"It's up to you." Zhao Zhi couldn't help but smile.
"Then where are we going now?" Li Can raised her little face and looked at him: "We came here quietly like this, and uncle and the others don't know."
"I'll take you there, uncle should be in the study." Zhao Guo said hesitantly: "Cancan, we came in like this because of the special circumstances and we had no choice but to do it.
It's not that your uncles don't like you, or that they don't want to welcome you, it's just that the situation doesn't allow it, so don't take it to heart."
"Look what you said, why am I such a petty and ignorant person?" Li Can smiled and shook his arm.
"Well, you are the most sensible." Zhao Zhen nodded and admitted.
Li Can pursed her lips and smiled. Although it was a very common sentence, she had never heard Zhao Zong praise her like this before, and she was still very happy.
When they arrived at where Meng Junde was, the boy guarding the door saw Zhao Ge and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
He is Meng Junde's confidant, so he naturally knows Zhao Ge's identity.
"No need to be polite, go and tell your uncle that Cancan and I are here." Zhao Ye raised his hand and ordered.
"yes."
The boy quickly got up and ran towards the study.
After a while, Meng Junde came out of the study. He was dressed in dark green robes, had a beautiful beard, fair complexion, and behaved in a measured manner.
"Ze Yu." Meng Junde looked at Li Can with a slight smile on his face: "Xin'er, right?
Concubine Chen wrote to me and told me your nickname.
The current situation is special and I can't go to the door to greet guests, so don't take it to heart."
Li Can looked at him, stunned, and shook his head: "It's okay."
"Uncle." Zhao Zong bowed his hands and tugged on Li Can's sleeve to remind her to call someone.
"Uncle." Li Can came to his senses and called him too.
She was stunned when she saw Meng Junde's appearance. Zhao Zong and his uncle looked alike!
She looked at Meng Junde as if she had seen Zhao Zong many years later.
Even though he is old, he can still see the grace of his youth, and he looks like a gentleman at first glance.
Meng Junde, a gentleman is virtuous, and a person lives up to his name.
"Hey." Meng Junde nodded and said, "Uncle has not prepared a red envelope. I will ask your aunt to get it later."
Zhao Ye took Li Can and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I can just give you a red envelope when you get married."
Meng Junde looked at him unexpectedly and said with a smile: "That can't be done.
The first visit is a red envelope for the first visit.
When you get married, it will be another red envelope for you."
He saw that his nephew was more than strict but not cheerful enough, and he was worried that he would not get along with the girl's family.
Look at this situation, these two little ones are very close to each other, and the nephew does not care about him, and holds the girl's hand in front of him.
According to his dull temperament, with such behavior, it can be seen that he loves this girl from the bottom of his heart.
But thinking about it, this girl grew up in front of Zhao Zong, so he could understand.
Li Can was surprised when he heard this, and turned to look at Zhao Zong. This was his first visit. Is there any red envelope?
She doesn't understand.
Although she didn't ask, Zhao Xie also understood her doubts, shook his head and whispered: "I don't understand either."
"Go and inform the old lady and your wife that Xin'er and Zeyu are here." Meng Junde ordered, "I will take them to the old lady's place right now."
The boy agreed and ran away quickly.
"Come." Meng Junde invited them: "Follow me.
Zeyu, logically speaking, you should have arrived yesterday evening, right?
I deliberately waited a little longer in the evening, but I didn't expect to see you, but I was delayed on the way?"
He walked ahead and asked questions casually.
"Yes." Zhao Ye replied: "We met An Peijun and Han Lihe at Zheyue Tower."
He told Meng Junde roughly what he saw with Li Can at Zheyue Tower.
Meng Junde listened and said casually: "This is a good opportunity to eliminate harm for the people and intensify the conflicts between An and South Korea.
Have you ever sent anyone there?"
Zhao Ye nodded and said: "We've sent it. We'll start in about four or five days."
"It doesn't matter if I'm late for a few days." Meng Junde said: "Han Lihe and his son are both insidious people, and they love to settle accounts with the Queen.
Being too hasty is not the way they behave as father and son."
"Yeah." Zhao Zhen nodded.
"master."
A middle-aged woman came from a distance with her maid.
She was tall, tall, and good-looking. There was sweat on the tip of her nose. She had obviously come in a hurry after hearing the news.
"Your aunt is here." Meng Junde said with a smile.
Zhao Ye took half a step back and stood side by side with Li Can. Then he let go of her hand and motioned for her to salute together: "This is my aunt."
Li Can saluted after him and called out obediently: "Auntie."
"Good girl, you're welcome." Mrs. Sun hurriedly stepped forward to help her and looked at her with a smile: "My queen often writes to me, saying that my heart is very beautiful.
When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."
"Auntie, thank you very much." Li Can praised her, causing her face to turn a light pink.
"Did you get any red envelopes?" Meng Junde asked her in a low voice.
"Here it is, it has been prepared a long time ago." Mrs. Sun took out a packet of square red paper from her sleeve pocket, took Li Can's hand and placed it in her palm: "Here, this is for our Ze Yu
A meeting ceremony for my fiancée."
Li Can wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it was for "Ze Yu's fiancée", he smiled and took it in his hand.
