"My grandson will take the imperial examination in three years and must pass it. By then, when he becomes an official in Beijing, it will be too late to consider this matter."
Meng Zilu didn't want to remarry, so he tried his best to calm his grandmother down and would find other reasons when he arrived in the capital.
Meng Zihe said: "Grandmother, mother, we brothers have our own opinions on this matter. Now we all focus on our studies. We brothers have high standards, and the girls from Huayang County may not be able to catch our eyes."
The eldest lady looked at Meng Zihe in surprise. Wasn’t it the second daughter of the Lu family who caught her eye before?
But think about it, this is just an excuse for the two brothers.
"Mom, the brothers have their own ideas, so why not just follow their lead?"
Meng Wei felt that she was still strong, and she wanted to see what reasons the two brothers had to refuse this matter after becoming officials in the capital.
"Alright, I'll do as you say, but you have to behave well at the plum blossom viewing banquet today, understand?"
"Grandma, don't worry, today's prize will definitely belong to our Meng Mansion!"
Su Ningwen and Meng Yunqian listened to the words of their elders and looked at each other silently.
Their dad really needs someone who understands his feelings and is always by his side...
Deer Mansion.
"Second Miss, the eldest lady is also going to the banquet."
"What?" Lu Yao was surprised. "Then didn't my brother-in-law and Aunt Si stop it?"
Nuan Yu shook her head slightly, "I can't stop her. The eldest lady said she walks around the yard every day and is in good health. Now that the princess is pregnant, she wants to go even more."
"Bring my zither to the Princess's residence, so that the Princess can also appreciate the sound of my zither."
"If the princess likes to hear you play the piano, will you go to the princess's mansion every day from now on?"
"Of course." Lu Yao nodded. "I'm very willing to play the zither for the princess. However, I heard from Brother Jie that the princess is multi-talented and has been taught by famous teachers. The princess's zither skills have always been superb. If I go over to play the zither today, the princess might be able to give me some pointers."
"So, do you want to participate in today's guessing game and matching couplets?"
Nuanyu felt that her daughter was smart and learned quickly from the female teacher.
"No." Lu Yao shook her head. "I've only been studying with the female teacher for a few months. How could I possibly know all that? I can only play the piano. I'll just be a quiet spectator."
She has been crazy and stupid for so many years, she would never join in the fun.
Today you can catch a glimpse of the elegant demeanor of talented men and beautiful women.
"Nuanyu, come and help me dress up. I want to look beautiful for the banquet."
Shortly after breakfast, Mr. Si Er came to Lu Mansion with his wife and daughter, and then the Si and Lu families rushed to the Princess's Mansion together.
At this time, several carriages arrived in front of the princess's mansion.
When Miao Xiantong saw Qi Lianli helping out at the door, he thought to himself that something was wrong and hurriedly got off the carriage.
"Master Qi, am I not late?"
As Miao Xiantong spoke, he signaled his attendants to hand the invitation and gifts to the butler Xiao Zhong.
Xiao Zhong quickly asked someone to register the gifts.
"You came here alone, where are your wife and children?"
"Master Qi, you know I didn't bring my wife and daughter with me when I went to Xishui County." Miao Xiantong then leaned over to Qi Lianli's ear and whispered, "Is the princess really pregnant?"
"Of course it's true, how could it be false?"
"That's great! The princess must be pregnant with a boy."
Qi Lianli frowned slightly, "I hope so. You go in first."
"No, I will also stay to help entertain the guests."
"No, you go in first. We can't stand together. Do you understand?"
Miao Xiantong nodded and followed the servant into the yard.
"Eldest sister, we're here."
Su Ningjie and Si Chuyu helped Lu Yuan get off the carriage.
When Xiao Zhong saw the Si and Lu families coming together, he hurried down the stone steps and warmly welcomed them in.
Half a cup of tea later, the Meng family arrived at the Princess's Mansion.
"Master Qi, have my second brother and the others arrived?"
"Master Wen, they've been inside for half a cup of tea."
"Yes, Young Master Wen, they should be arriving at Yimeyuan by now." Xiao Zhong said as he led people into the yard.
"Grandma, please go to Yimei Courtyard first. I will greet the guests at the door."
Meng Wei did not stop him, and took the opportunity to practice her courage.
Su Ningwen walked to the gift registration desk, picked up the booklet and flipped through it for a few times. He quickly wrote down the nourishing products that each family gave to Xiao Lingyu for pregnancy so that he could have an idea of what was going on.
Afterwards, many people came one after another. He personally looked over their invitations, memorized their faces, and politely welcomed them into the mansion.
The guests at the banquet were extremely respectful to Su Ningwen.
I didn't expect that the third young master of the Princess's Mansion could be independent at such a young age and know how to advance and retreat.
He looks so wealthy and has an air of nobility about him.
There will definitely be a bright future and great achievements in the future!
The ladies attending the banquet became more active, especially those who brought girls of the same age as Su Ningwen and began to think about establishing a relationship with the princess's mansion.
Qi Lianli was good at seeing through people's minds. Looking at the way they looked at Su Ningwen, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
The princess’s four children are not simple, especially Su Ning’an, whose identity is even more complicated.
They may have the intention, but they may not have the blessing.
Not everyone can become related to the princess!
When the Meng family arrived outside the Yime Courtyard, they heard the sound of children playing.
Su Ningjie was playing with a big snow-white cat in the yard with Xiao Xier and Mr. Si's three daughters.
"Daddy, I want to go play with the cats with them."
"Go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yunqian ran over in a flash.
At the same time, a beautiful and pleasant piano sound came from the room.
"Huh? Who is playing the piano?"
Meng Wei's face lit up with joy when she heard the voice, "It must be the princess."
"Madam Meng, the princess is waiting for you." Mo Shu respectfully invited the Meng family into the room.
In the room.
Xiao Lingyu sat upright on the warm couch in the middle, Lu Yuan lay behind her with a big belly, and the others sat on both sides.
As soon as Meng Zihe came in, his eyes fell on Lu Yao who was playing the piano in the middle of the lobby. He felt surprised and happy.
After many days, sister Yaoer actually learned to play the piano, and she plays it so beautifully!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Meng family were also extremely surprised that such beautiful piano music came from Lu Yao.
The Meng family was shocked for a moment, and then were led quietly to their seats by Mo Shu.
Lu Yao was so focused that she didn't notice the Meng family coming in.
Meng Zihe sat down and his eyes unconsciously looked at Lu Yao.
The eldest lady looked at her son and shook her head helplessly.
The men of the Meng family are indeed loyal and affectionate. She has been married into the Meng family for so many years, and her men have always treated her consistently.
The fact that her eldest son has not remarried is enough to show that the Meng family has a good family tradition.
She was just worried that Lu Yao didn't have that intention.
After the song ended, Meng Zihe's gaze was so intense that Lu Yao subconsciously looked up at Meng Zihe.
Meng Zihe's heart was beating like a drum, his face flushed instantly, and he quickly avoided her sight.
There was a glint of surprise in Lu Yao's eyes. Why was it that the second young master of the Meng family would blush unconsciously every time he saw her?
Are you shy?
