Foster son and husband

Chapter 164
Xu Junying said: "The royal family values ​​the baptism ceremony of the three dynasties. Today, court officials of the third rank and above can bring their wives into the palace to watch the ceremony. The auspicious time is set earlier. You are too tired after days, and you have Heng'er by your side. I will be with the emperor myself." Having said that, let you rest at home... The queen heard that you did not enter the palace, so she sent someone to take some of the best supplements in the palace, and asked me to bring them back to make you healthy, and put them in our courtyard. Congratulations on entering the palace There are many imperial wives who watched the ceremony, and the wives who have been in touch with you in the past have asked about you, I can only say that you are slightly unwell, and someone may come to visit you recently, you, you must entertain him well!"

Mei Niang stared at him: Treat a ghost!I'm about to leave this place, and pretend to be a housewife to show off in front of people, she won't do that kind of boring thing!
Yesterday in the Qin residence, she was nervous, busy and joyful. She was dizzy. She didn't remember the three-dynasty baptism ceremony in the palace today. She slept really well. She woke up when Cuixi woke up in the morning. No wonder Xu Junying didn't have breakfast. He ran out after eating, he did it on purpose!If you don't call her into the palace together, she will lose one chance to meet the queen!

Xu Junying, who knows her thoughts clearly, since he knew what she was thinking and wanted to force her to stay, would he regard her as the second Qin Meiniang?
"The baptism of the royal family in three dynasties, all court wives are invited. Why do you hide the news from me? I'm fine, but outsiders say I'm sick. If people believe it and come to visit, how can I explain it? ? When people come, they have to find a way to greet them thoughtfully. How much time do I have to spend laughing and playing with them? If people happen to be busy, but they make a special trip to visit, isn’t it a waste of time for others and myself? You What's on your mind?"

Mei Niang asked angrily, and woke up Xu Junying, who was full of tenderness in his heart, and the expression on his face instantly became serious: now is not the time to show affection, he still needs to be careful, and don't make things too obvious , Let Meiniang notice something, and if she is annoyed, all previous efforts will be wasted.The three-month covenant is not just a casual statement. With Heng'er and Qin Boqing's fame as a fetter, if she can calm down and live with him in the Xu Mansion for three months, he believes that he can impress her with his true feelings!But now things have changed, the eldest wife is ill, Heng'er easily came to her side, Qin Boqing's exam is over, the son and daughter have twins, the fortune of Qin Zhai seems to be soaring all the way, Meiniang has won the trust of the queen and even the emperor, and the king of Qi is here By the way... In three months, if she wants to overthrow it now, Xu Junying may not be able to stop it.Originally, he had thought of fulfilling her wish, asking him to reconcile her and let her leave the Xu Mansion. The reason for doing so was to give her a chance to become Cen Meimei. Didn't she have a good relationship with the Queen?You can use the excuse that you don't want to humiliate your natal family's reputation, leave the Qin family, set up your own family, and ask the queen to give you another name. After that, she will only live in Cen's house, and he will use the name of Heng'er's father to get close to their mother and son. Around her, who would dare to make up her mind?In the end, she will be his, and he can marry in a grand and solemn way, Cen Meimei is his real wife!

But after all, his ability is limited, and he can't control everything in his own hands. First of all, Mei Niang refused to listen to his arrangement, and insisted on putting him and the old lady together, no matter how many times he explained overtly or secretly.With the help of Zhang Jingyun, Lingxuzi and even King Qi, she was eager to leave because she had a choice, even without Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi, she would still meet other men, and he didn't want to make any choices except Cen Meimei!

So he must keep her and trap her in the Xu Mansion first. Whether she wants to or not, he can't afford to lose. If she is released from the mansion, if he accidentally loses her, what else can he do in this life? Come?
Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang: "I said, I just wanted you to rest for a while. There are many people in the palace today. The queen has not fully recovered. I only saw Mrs. Dingguo, and the rest of the wives are only in the palace. Salute and greet outside the door, you may not be able to see you when you go..."

"How would you know? If I go, the queen will definitely see me!"

"Meimei!" Xu Junying glanced outside the pavilion: "Don't talk like that outside, who are you? Why does the empress want to see you? Others will think you are arrogant, and you are suspected of being arrogant!"

Meiniang sneered: "Arrogance comes from pampering? Xu Junlang's concubine gave birth to a son and dared to bully Bai Jingyu, that's called arrogance from pampering. Do you think I'm like that?"

She looked at Xu Junying, and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this - when are you going away?"

"It's still undecided... It involves military aircraft. I've told you enough just now. Don't mention it to others!"

"I can keep it secret, but please promise me one thing!"

Xu Junying's eyes flashed: "Say it!"

"You heard it in Jinhua Hall just now. I offended your ancestor. She was so angry that she almost fainted. Now she hates me terribly. If I live in your house for a day, her hatred will increase. Anger and hatred hurt the body, so within a few days, the old lady may fall ill. The ancients said, all good filial piety is the first, you are a filial son and grandson, and you will never let the old grandmother be hurt, but now I find that it is very incompatible with her old man, If she blames me again, I don't mind making her angry! You go away for more than ten days, and I think something will happen during these ten days. I'm afraid this time Weiyuan will return to the mansion and die It’s not someone else, but the old grandmother! In order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, I think: Why don’t you let me take Heng’er to Cen’s residence for a while, what do you think?”

"can!"

Xu Junying pondered for a moment, then agreed, Meiniang was stunned: I heard that right, he did agree!

It was unexpected!It seems that everything can be accomplished by talking about the ancestors, so I couldn't help but probe further: "I don't think it's necessary for the March covenant..."

Xu Junying smiled: "You said that it will be fine for three years!"

"Can't you hear that? I'm talking ironic! You can kill your ancestors in three days, let me live in your house for three months or three years, what kind of chaos will happen to the Hou Mansion!"

Mei Niang's expression is very serious, and now she has to be serious, Xu Junying actually wants to go out to do business for the royal family, I am afraid that Yizhi will have to be postponed, the night is long and dreamy, she has to find another way out, and she has to talk about it before. The words come back to clarify.

Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang with a calm expression: "How can the covenant that has been made be changed easily? Even if there is a need to change, we have to wait until I come back from outside!"

"Wait until you come back? It will be a long time..."

"It's only been three months! Besides, I've only been there for more than ten days. From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to Jinhuatang or Qiuhuayuan for the time being. You have to go and see it at your leisure."

"From tomorrow onwards, I'm going to live in the Cen's house. I haven't seen Lin Runan for a long time. I have to go and see her. Bai Jingyu is now taking care of the affairs of the residence. She is doing a better job than Ning Rulan. There are more people serving in Qiuhua Courtyard." ——Is the eldest lady's illness..."

"no!"

Xu Junying looked straight at Mei Niang: "Don't make wild guesses, no one will harm her! She was not in good health, and her brain was in the early years. Zheng Meiyu's death would not have made her like this, bad is bad. When she took the wrong kind of medicine, she took it for more than a day or two, and on the day when she became ill, she ate some contradictory pills, which caused serious illness. The imperial doctor could only slowly recuperate with acupuncture, supplemented by decoction, and her life was saved. I'm afraid I'll be lying in bed in the future."

Mei Niang was silent for a while: "It will be like this from now on? It's embarrassing, who wants to be so sick, unable to move, it's better to die! I just think it's a bit of a coincidence, the symptoms are too similar to Zheng Meiyu's!"

Xu Junying lowered her eyes: "If you don't deal with Zheng Meiyu, let her go back, she will be protected by her wife, she will still harm people in the future - even if she is dead, the residual poison is still there, I asked Mother He, the medicine that the eldest wife took, Maybe she took care of it, making the imperial doctor look bad, those medicines have all been changed, except her, who has the guts!"

Meiniang was stunned: "Is she crazy? The aunt who loves her so much is also hurt!"

"This, I don't know either!"

Xu Junying didn't want Meiniang to know, maybe it was his fault: Zheng Meiyu once asked him for the headache and dizziness medicine brought out from the palace, and said he would take it back to her father, but he didn't give it to her, the medicine in the palace is precious , the curative effect is good, but it’s not something you can have if you want it. He only supplies the old lady and the eldest lady with headache medicine and other pills for clearing the heart and nourishing qi. The second wife still asks for it from the old lady indirectly, and Zheng Meiyu can’t get it , I guess it was on the eldest wife's side to make an idea to replace her whole box of 24 pills, one pill a day, which is equivalent to eating pills made by street vendors for almost a month without knowing what purpose, but the eldest wife I don't know.

Xu Junying and Meiniang were sitting opposite each other in the water pavilion. After talking for a long time, they couldn't reach the desired result. Xu Junying was very patient, but Meiniang became impetuous in the end, and wanted to leave. Xu Junying's conversation is too boring, and he always misses a point.

On the other side of Jinhua Hall, after Mei Niang left, Mrs. Xu held her heart and panted for a while, locked the door with shaking fingers and said to the people in the room:
"You've all seen it! What kind of girl was born in such a family. She is naughty, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth. She is not filial at all. Marrying into a family like ours is because her ancestors have practiced virtue for several lifetimes, and she still doesn't know how to cherish it! Such a shrew. She has no respect for elders, ignores family rules, doesn't have a woman's virtuous form at all, and makes a lot of noise at home. I can't afford to be angry with her. It's my fate to die of anger. If I go out in the future, it will be like this, but it is humiliating. Hurt my Xu family, ruin my grandson's reputation! How can I tolerate her? Come, give me a make-up, I want to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

Zhuang Yulan, Mother Ji and the others hurriedly helped her get dressed. Because Mrs. Fang was by her side and Mr. Wu had recently become an official, they instructed Mrs. Fang to go back and call Mrs. Wu. People guarded him and ran to the palace.

The second old man went out of the city yesterday and just returned to the mansion. He was resting in Aunt Yan's room when he suddenly got the news. Thinking that the old lady was going to the palace, she must be discussing the matter of Junying marrying a common wife. , couldn't help being taken aback, quickly turned down from the bed, put on his shoes indiscriminately, and ran out while tying up his clothes. The old lady's carriage had already left the house at the second gate, and the second master stamped his feet anxiously:

"My mother, you are so confused! If the emperor knows that his son didn't stop him in time, it will be better!"

　I worked overtime again today, and came back from eating out again. There was only one more shift. . . . . .
