"The eldest lady is here!" Ruyi repeated.

Meng Meijing stood up immediately: "Ruyi, go and invite sister in! Jixiang, go and make tea!"

Meng Shisan stepped into Wuxia Hall. Meng Meili helped her to sit on the upper left seat, while she herself sat down on the lower left seat. Her intention to please could not be more obvious.

After Ruyi invited Meng Shisan into the hall, he went to watch on the corridor outside the hall. After a while, Jixiang brewed two bowls of fragrant tea, followed by Baozhu, stood behind his master and waited quietly. With.

Meng Shisan did not mince words and directly explained his intention.

Meng Meili agreed readily: "Sister, don't worry, I will go to my uncle's house later, and I will be able to ask him about the situation when he leaves the office. But why is sister so concerned about the case of shopkeeper Liu? His death …”

"It's irrelevant." Meng Shisan cut off Meng Meili's words, "As for why, don't ask so many questions. If you can help, just help. If you can't, it doesn't matter."

"Help, I can help!" After Meng Meili recognized the fact, she had long wanted to get close to her, but Meng Shisan never gave her a chance. Now, after a long time, Meng Shisan took the initiative to approach her and asked her for help. She It is impossible to extrapolate.

"If you are in trouble, it will be okay if you don't help." Meng Shisan knew something about the Wu family's situation. She also knew a little about Meng Meili's not close to her uncle's family and her rather disgusting attitude.

"It's rare that my sister takes the initiative to enter my sister's Wanfei courtyard, and it's also rare that my sister can think of asking my sister to help. How could I be in trouble?" Meng Meili also thought that it was probably because of the fact that she was not close to her maternal family that Meng Shi After knowing this, she said this. She couldn't help but explain, "I was unwilling to go to my uncle's house in the past, but my mother was right. After all, a son never thinks his mother is ugly. No matter how poor the uncle's family is, no matter how young the uncle is, no matter how young the aunt is, It’s useless, no matter how much Cousin Hao is just a scholar, it’s also my mother’s family and my uncle’s family, so it’s impossible to cut off contact with him.”

"It's good if you can think about it." Meng Shisan was slightly surprised that Meng Meili could say such words and also think about it. Judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was trying to deceive her with lies. "I heard that Wu Tuiguan is an upright man and is very capable of adjudicating cases. Although he is only a junior official of the sixth rank at the moment, if there is a chance for promotion in the future, Wu Tuiguan will not always be a junior official of the sixth rank. "

Meng Meijing was not very interested: "Thanks to my sister's good advice, I hope my uncle can be promoted as soon as possible."

She knew very well that her uncle had already passed away, but he was still a sixth-rank petty official. If he said he had real talent and real learning, then he really had real talent and real learning. Otherwise, he would not be able to be named on the gold medal list. However, his lack of background was his biggest flaw, and even more so. My uncle has been an official for so many years. During the same period, most officials have been promoted to the fourth or fifth rank, but the main reason why my uncle is still standing still.

Meng Shisan didn't say anything else. Wu Tuiguan's situation couldn't be more realistic. Like Xi Youyan, who was a junior censor, both were talented but had no background. If we really want to talk about it, Xi Youyan was a censor. The situation is even better than that of Wu Tuiguan.

After all, the Xi Mansion had its glory days, but now it is in decline, and the Wu family is truly a poor family.

When Wu was able to marry into the Meng Mansion and become the second wife, it was purely because her father was fascinated by Wu at that time. Otherwise, given Wu's background, no matter how incompetent her father was, he would still be the son of a heavenly official, and he would be able to continue his marriage. A daughter from a high family, not from a poor family like the Wu family.

Meng Meili knew that Meng Shisan liked to eat cakes, but they were all made by Jinyin herself. Although she also wanted to make some cakes for Meng Shisan to try, she was not good at cooking and had no talent. She cooked several times. , tossing the pastries several times, but never succeeded in making delicious pastries.

Only give up.

Ruyi also found out that Meng Shisan liked to read some miscellaneous books, so she took out a few unofficial history books. It happened that Meng Shisan came to Wanfei Court today, so she asked Ji Xiangdu to get them.

After a while, Jixiang returned to Wuxia Hall holding several books.

Meng Meili stood up and took a stack of books from Jixiang's hand, and handed them to Meng Shisan like a treasure: "Sister, take a look, is there anything you like to read?"

"I like it." Meng Shisan took it and glanced at it, then handed it to Baozhu and said to Meng Meili, "As long as you are good, you will always be my sister."

"Sister..." "As soon as I return home, I will come to you to talk about something. I haven't had time to go to the upper room to pay my respects to my grandmother, so I have to go now."

After Meng Shisan left, Jixiang asked Meng Meimei in confusion: "Miss, what does eldest lady mean?"

Since Meng Meili didn't dare to bully Meng Shisan anymore, all the servants of Wanfei Courtyard, when they saw the servants of Taichen Courtyard, would change their usual arrogance and treat each other kindly and politely.

Ji Xiang, as Meng Meili's bully in the past, followed the No. 1 bully of Baozhu. From then on, she became as cautious as walking on a tightrope in front of Meng Shisan and Baozhu.

Therefore, she cares more about whether her young lady and the eldest lady get along well with each other than all the servants in Wanfei Courtyard.

Meng Shisan's words just now made her feel paradoxical, and she didn't know what the meaning was, so she couldn't help but ask.

Meng Meili said lonelyly: "Sister is telling me that as long as I behave well and don't make mistakes again, then I can forget the past. For the sake of blood being thicker than water, Sister won't do anything to me, and I don't need to be close to you." Sister, I try to please you in every possible way."

"Oh." Jixiang asked again, "Is this good or bad?"

"What do you think?" Meng Meili glanced at Jixiang and couldn't help but scolded her again, "With such an obviously bad result, you actually asked me if I was okay! What a pig-headed person!"

Ji Xiang buried the pig's head and didn't dare to say a word.

Ruyi outside the hall also did not dare to say a word. Ever since the eldest lady turned over, there is no servant in Wanfei courtyard who has not been scolded by the lady.

She also has a pig head.

When Meng Shisan returned to Taichen Courtyard, he asked Shangchun to help write a post inviting Jiang Ziyao to have tea at Quexian Tower.

After Shang Chun understood what he wanted to write, he exited Mingxiao Hall and went to the study. He came back a while later, holding the peach blossom note with the ink that had just been dried: "Miss, will you send it to Jiang's house now?"

"Send it off now." In addition to Meng Meijing, Meng Shisan also has a second partner, Jiang Ziyao, so when she said in Wanfei Academy that Meng Meijing didn't have to be embarrassed, she was sincere.

If Meng Meijing really didn't want to go to Wu Tuiguan's house, she wouldn't force it. After all, she could still contact Lu Luo through Jiang Ziyao, and then use Lu Luo to find out more about Lu Sen.

Lu Sen is the chief official of the capital government. Although Lu Sen is not in charge of the case, he wants to know the progress of the case, but it is only a trivial matter. Therefore, as long as Jiang Ziyao is willing to help, he can also find out the details of Shopkeeper Liu's death.

Shangchun found Xiuyu with the post and said, "Send this post to Jiang Mansion."

"Let's go now!" Xiuyu put down the rag and walked out.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!
