The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 99

In addition to regretting, she did not forget to let Meng Renping treat guests well, so that she would not be separated from their peers, so that they would not have something difficult to say in front of her as an elder.

Besides, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. As the mistress of the house, she still has a lot of rituals to arrange. She is really busy and has no time to chat with their juniors. It was impossible for the eldest son of the Zeng family to even come here.

If the eldest son is around, just let him entertain you.

Neither Meng Renping nor Zeng Chongqi responded to Shang's arrangement.

Ji Kuan nodded violently in his heart, with Aunt Meng around, it was hard for him to open his mouth to find fault with Zeng Chongqi.

As soon as the Shang family left, there were only three young men left in Qingmingtang.

Meng Renping and Ji Kuan were sitting in the seats on the left, facing the seat on the right where Zeng Zhongqi was sitting, forming a two-on-one scene.

Ji Kuan pointed to the rabbit lantern and said, "Is this the lantern that Mr. Zeng wants to give to Mrs. Meng?"

"Yes." Zeng Zhongqi replied.

"The Lantern Festival has long passed, and Mr. Zeng is only sending the lanterns now, which is too late." Ji Kuan felt that Zeng Chongqi must have had something wrong with Miss Meng for giving him such a pleasing gift. People's thoughts, "The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, why not send a Zhong Kui portrait to meet the occasion."

During the Xinyuan Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival in the Wei Dynasty, a statue of Zhong Kui would be hung in the hall to bless the house.

Every year, Emperor Zong bestows a statue of Zhong Kui to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Up to now, on the second day of May, all the statues of Zhong Kui in each prefecture are still enshrined behind the altar. No need to prepare any more.

Ji Kuan's remark is undoubtedly to bury the rabbit lantern in Zeng Zhongqi's hand.

Meng Renping didn't say anything, but slightly raised his eyelids, and glanced at Zeng Zhongqi's face.

Fu Feng's every word and every word is escorting His Highness, and he also has the heart to prevent outsiders from spying on his sister, but his identity is different, and his thinking is also different. Whether it is public or private, he must stand on His Highness's side, so Just as the eldest brother, he also had to think carefully about the eldest sister.

If the eldest sister becomes the princess in the future, then that's fine. If the eldest sister fails to enter the East Palace in the future, then the eldest sister will still have to marry. Zeng Chongqi in front of him, he has to admit that his mother has a good vision. However, it is indeed an excellent candidate.

What's more, Zeng Chongqi is still the eldest sister's natal cousin, since the Zeng family always cares about the eldest sister, if the eldest sister marries into the Zeng family, she will definitely be protected and protected by the Zeng family for the rest of her life.

Therefore, he thought that Zeng Zhongqi had more or less room for becoming his brother-in-law in the future.

Because of this leeway, he glanced at Zeng Zhongqi, looking at it with some warmth and expectation.

Zeng Zhongqi listened to Ji Kuan's squeeze and met Meng Renping's complicated eyes. He didn't think much about it. In fact, he couldn't think about it.

Today's trip was something he fought hard for, and he focused on how he would speak after seeing Cousin Meng, so as not to annoy Cousin Meng, how to get along with Cousin Meng, so as not to frighten Cousin Meng's thinking, He didn't care much whether it was the mother and son of the Meng family or the young master of the Ji family.

He is a martial artist, his mind is not so delicate, and he speaks when he has something to say, he has a straightforward personality, without twists and turns, and often does not understand other people's intentions and sweet words. If you don't take it to heart, it's like a deaf ear.

Just like this, Ji Kuan and Meng Renping's eight hundred thoughts were placed on Zeng Zhongqi. He didn't notice it at all. He only replied truthfully: "Before the Lantern Festival, my second uncle specially asked the craftsman to make six There are rabbit lanterns, one for each of the three sisters who are far away in Jinling. The remaining three were all sent to Beijing by the orders of the second uncle. The two sisters in the mansion also have one for each. The remaining one..."

He raised the rabbit lantern in his hand: "Because of some delays, it took until today to send it to my cousin. It is indeed a bit late. But it's okay. Last time, at the peach blossom banquet in Prince Jing's mansion, two people in the mansion My younger sister and my cousin had a very happy conversation, and when I mentioned this lantern, although it is not a rare item, it is my second uncle's love for my cousin, and although it is late, it will always be delivered."

As for the statue of Zhong Kui, he simply ignored it.

This statue is found in every mansion, and it was given by His Majesty, so there is no need for him to send it as a gift, but it is not something to be separated from the Young Master of the Ji family.

Meng Renping and Ji Kuan looked at each other silently after listening to Zeng Chongqi's long list.

They had long heard that although the eldest son of the Zeng family was a Tiqi and had reached a thousand households, he was completely honest. They didn't believe it at first, but sitting together in the same room and confronting each other now confirmed that the rumors were true.

Their eyes were separated, and they were sitting together. The thoughts in their hearts changed again.

Ji Kuan felt that Zeng Chongqi would be placed in front of His Highness, no matter how high or low he was, assuming that his identities were equal, as for Zeng Chongqi, who had a solid heart, if he dared to compete with His Highness who was dyed in ink for the crown princess, Zeng Chongqi would be more likely to be the princess. Even after he has gone to hell, he has to continue to work for His Highness, so there is no need for him to worry about this.

Meng Renping admired Zeng Chongqi even more, and thought to himself that the elder sister's mind is not only good at talking, but also fierce, just as Fu Feng said, as blatant as a tigress, if the elder sister does not become the crown princess in the end , it is the best choice to marry such an honest and loyal person as Zeng Zhongqi.

The two were planning separately, but at the same time they smiled amiably at Zeng Zhongqi.

Zeng Zhongqi didn't know why, he just felt that the two in front of him were easy to get along with, so he smiled back, very simple and honest.

Meng Shisan stepped into the Qingming Hall amidst this harmony.

Because the day after the big day is the Dragon Boat Festival, she was spared the remaining days of being fined to overturn the precious pearls, gold and silver. The two happily joined the four jades, and were taken by Shangchun to weave long life threads, make sachets, and store orchid grass.

On May [-]th, mulancao soup, decontamination and cleansing body, long-lived thread on the wrist, warding off soldiers and ghosts, preventing people from getting sick and plague, wearing a sachet on the waist, containing cinnabar, realgar, clove, angelica, wrinkled ager, purple Fragrance medicines such as sorrel and peppermint have a strong fragrance and can repel mosquitoes and ward off pollution.

In addition, there are also grand events such as hanging a statue of Zhong Kui, hanging five auspicious signs in the sky, eating rice dumplings, drinking realgar wine, fighting with herbs, and dragon boat racing. You can imagine the excitement of the day.

Shangchun also told her that every Dragon Boat Festival, Emperor Zong would kick clothes and give fans.

When giving clothes, civil servants are given a black tortoiseshell belt, and military officers are given a black and silver belt.

The fan was given to avoid the plague. The fan is a picture of the five seasons, with five poisons such as snakes, scorpions, toads, lizards, and centipedes. It means that the five poisons coexist, so they can coexist without fighting each other. The effect of poison.

It is impossible for everyone to have the imperial gift, except for the civil and military ministers who have an imperial fan to avoid plague, and the rest of the officials and family members have to draw or buy it themselves.
