Chapter 77

Gu Qingyou secretly praised him, it seems that being generous also has its benefits, it can really kill anger at critical moments.

Meng Yan's face turned red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple in circles, wishing to stuff his dog's mouth with the lion's head on the table.

Originally, he wanted to bring up a topic, but the fish couldn't take the bait, so he had to take the initiative to speak.

"It is said that Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. My sister is struggling in the palace. The palaces are instigated by others and work together to isolate her. The younger brother feels distressed when he sees it, so he wants to send some obedient and good sons to accompany my sister. , but my sister was afraid of being criticized, so she still refused to agree, and my father got angry because of this, and he was also sick in bed a few days ago, so he couldn't accompany me personally today."

Xue Lan smiled and said nothing. The reason for Meng Guifei's so-called "isolation" lies with herself.

Since she entered the palace, she has won the holy family, and when facing other concubines, her handling method is the same as that of Xue Shi, she greets her with a smile and refuses politely at the same time.

Over time, the emperor cherished her more because she didn't like to stand in line, but the other concubines were labeled as gangsters. The reason is intriguing.

Therefore, rather than being isolated, it is better to say that everyone treats her at a respectful distance.

However, what Meng Yan said about the deep love between sister and brother moved Xue Lin'er, and she warmly said, "Mr. Meng, don't worry, there are still three months left before the draft, when you go to the palace to recommend a few good girls who know the basics, Are you still afraid that the imperial concubine will be lonely?"

Finally getting to the point, Meng Yan concealed her excitement, and replied: "My lord, I don't know. The second prince has recently contracted a serious illness and left Beijing to recuperate. My sister is depressed, and she is getting thinner day by day. How can I wait until after three months? Sigh, My little brother wants to help but is powerless, it's really frustrating."

In the past, he would have disdain to talk to an aunt at all, but when he saw her sitting at the bottom of Gu Qingyou, and her clothes were more expensive than the other aunts, he guessed that she was Xue Lin'er, Song Chengye's favorite concubine.

It is well known in Shangjing that Mrs. Xue loves her niece, and Song Chengye is also famous for favoring concubines and destroying wives. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that Xue Liner's position in the Duke's Mansion is also very important. If she suggested it, I believe Xue's mother and son would not reject.

Apparently, Xue Lin'er was more up-to-date than Gu Qingyou. Hearing this, she picked up the veil and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with empathy: "That said, it's really worrying."

She is not from a low family background, so she is no stranger to drafts. If she hadn't followed Song Chengye early, she would have been among the show girls.

Seeing that Meng Yan was at a loss, he comforted him: "Although the draft in May is a rule handed down by our ancestors, there have always been precedents of presenting beauties to the palace at other times. If Mr. Meng is really worried, you can send the selected good ones in advance. Send it in."

What Meng Yan wanted was this sentence, but he hesitated on the face: "It would be fine if it was in the past, but now the empress's body is not in good shape, I heard that she has not been able to get out of bed for half a month, and she is the younger brother of the imperial concubine. I'm afraid that some gossip will spread in the palace if I send it to the show girl, so I don't want to make my sister more upset."

Gu Qingyou didn't think it was funny, these ancient people were so weak, in a short while, four or five people fell ill.

Before Xue Lin'er arrived at Jiji, she went to the palace with her parents to attend a palace banquet, and had a relationship with Concubine Meng Gui.

At that time when I was young, I couldn't find the most appropriate words to describe the beauty of Concubine Meng Gui. Now after thinking about it, I can only feel that she is gentle and elegant, with a temperament like a lotus, and her every frown and smile are all scenery.

At that time, the emperor was only weak, the suave and romantic young emperor, when he looked at Concubine Meng, his eyes were full of her reflection.

The astonishment when they were young is easier to remember. The scene of the two clinging to each other and looking at each other is deeply imprinted in Xue Liner's mind. A single-minded person, this life is not in vain.

She was lost in thought, so she didn't pick up Meng Yan's words.

Meng Yan leaned forward slightly, watching with full expectation, just waiting for her to say the most crucial sentence——

Xue Lan suddenly interrupted their conversation, and looked at Xue Lin'er dissatisfied: "Young Madam, it is flattering for you to come in and sit together, but Mr. Meng is a foreigner after all, Aunt Lin still needs to be careful."

Xue Lin'er looked at Song Chengye aggrievedly, stood up reluctantly and said, "What my aunt taught me is that Lin'er doesn't dare."

Speaking of it, she and Concubine Meng are also considered to be in the same sympathy. They are obviously the most favored by their husbands, but they have to bow their heads to their status and live in the shadow of others for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, her expression suddenly became sleepy, and no matter how much Meng Yan brought up the topic, she would not open her mouth again.

Song Chengye was delighted to hear that, it turns out that this family is just a donkey dung ball on the surface, knowing that his sister is not doing well in the palace, he said sarcastically: "I am afraid that if you send people in, there will be a few more people competing for favor with the imperial concubine. , when the time comes to cry and can’t find the root of the wall, it will be really miserable.”

After all, no matter how beautiful Concubine Meng Gui is, she has already reached the age of bean curds, and the newly promoted ladies are all delicate and ready to bloom. The emperor is also a man, so he will naturally choose fresh picks.

How could Meng Yan not understand this truth, this is also the reason why he only searched for sons from low-born and good families, because he was afraid that after entering the palace, he would be favored by one move and would be difficult to control.

He is a smart man. He has been walking around all night, and he has already seen that Xue Lan and the others are deliberately pretending to be stupid, and his patience has been exhausted. Banquet, nephew wants to ask aunt for help, I wonder if aunt will agree?"

Xue Lan said: "Whether you agree or not depends on what matters."

Seeing that she did not directly refuse, Meng Yan ignited a glimmer of hope, and said: "My nephew wants to ask the Duke's mansion to present a beautiful girl on his behalf. To show his sincerity, the contribution of the dedication is also in the Duke's mansion. There is no harm but no benefit, Madam will not refuse."

These words are high-sounding, and it sounds like the government has taken advantage of it. Before Xue Lan could speak, Song Chengye was already afraid of Meng Yan's repentance, and said first: "Is this what you said? If these beautiful girls are favored by the emperor Don't jump out to claim credit again!"

"My son, please rest assured, my younger brother only wants to share the worries of my sister, and doesn't care about those false names. At that time, no matter what the reward is, it has nothing to do with my Meng family."

Before things were done, he chose himself out first.

Song Chengye had a small calculation in his heart, and this wave seemed to be a steady profit without losing money. He was about to answer, but Xue Lan had already refused.

"Mr. Meng is not an outsider, so he doesn't hide his old body. Now that the Duke's mansion is without the master, it is like a big tree with its roots destroyed. It looks luxuriant, but in fact it can't stand any wind and rain, and will not take the initiative. To meddle in the affairs of the harem, Mr. Meng should find another way."

Meng Yan didn't want to think about it, but after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire. The news about Concubine Meng hadn't been spread on the surface, but I'm afraid everyone in the capital knew about it.

Except for the ignorant Duke's Mansion, he couldn't think of who he could turn to to be taken advantage of.
