Chapter 247 The enemy is in the open, I am in the dark
...
The Meng family is in high spirits these days.
They would stop and chat with people no matter they know each other.
Meng Qingshe, who never liked to go to court, went to court.
With a big black square face, she smiled at everyone she saw.
Madam Meng must go to every banquet.
And no matter what topic they talked about, they would always talk about children.
The minister said that it was cold these two days.
Meng Qingshe said, yes, it was cold these two days. When my two grandsons come back, I must give them more clothes.
The minister said that the emperor wanted to build a Buddhist temple again.
Meng Qingshe said, build a Buddhist temple, oh, I want to go and worship Buddha too, it is really the Buddha's blessing that my family has two more grandsons...
All the people and dogs in the capital should know that the Meng family has broken the curse of single inheritance, and this generation has two more grandsons.
The others are fine.
Fairy Liu was a little embarrassed.
Meng Qingshe kept nagging. Even the emperor, who only attended court once every ten days, knew that the Meng family had two more grandsons.
He felt inexplicably envious.
He should have many grandsons and granddaughters, but he didn't seem to be very close to them.
The emperor had no reason to blame anyone.
He felt that the children were not close to him, and were not as close as his nephew Xiao Han.
But whenever any prince wanted to get close to him, he would suspect that the kid was up to something. Your brother the crown prince is not dead yet, but you want to replace him. Or, your brother the crown prince just died, and you want to replace him. What a rebellious son. The emperor's
heart is hard to predict.
The Meng family didn't think much about it.
They were happily waiting to hold their grandson.
The nursery, the son and daughter-in-law's room, were all ready.
Many sets of clothes for the daughter-in-law were ordered for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The Meng family is rich. After all, the old man has been fighting for many years, and even if the emperor gave him rewards to show off, he also gave a lot.
In addition, sometimes he killed one or two noble princes from other countries in the war, so it was reasonable to collect some money.
Old man Meng himself had no time and no place to spend, so he could only send it back home.
Their whole family is not a person who likes luxury, and they all look low-key.
But now there is a new generation.
If not now, when will they spend it?
The old Meng family spent money very ostentatiously, ordering clothes and jewelry for their daughter-in-law, and they filled up the schedules of the shops in the capital.
It even caused the ministers to report the Meng family's extravagance.
You did everything for you, but my mother and daughter-in-law were not arranged, and you arranged for me at home. Who else can I report if not you?
The emperor was extremely tolerant of such memorials and thought it was good.
If she was really loyal to the emperor and thrifty, he would have suspected that the Meng family had other intentions.
It's just a little money, no big deal.
The people of Beijing are really looking forward to the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, a fairy-level figure who is said to be ashamed even if Daji were alive.
She is so beautiful and charming that the second generation of Meng was so fascinated by her at first sight that he was willing to be his son-in-law. She is a woman of such level that she cannot be separated from him for a day. What's more amazing is that she changed the Meng family's single-line inheritance by her own efforts and gave birth to two sons in one pregnancy. She is a woman with both beauty and strength.
Many mothers in Beijing who have daughters to be married privately want their daughters to worship that little Madam Meng. This level is amazing.
I heard that she asked the whole town to accompany her during her confinement period. The story was getting more and more exaggerated.
However, there were too many repetitive entertainments in the capital. This was the first time I heard of such a thing, which deepened everyone's impression.
Anyway, compared to Fairy Liu, whose psychic powers were sometimes ineffective, the mistresses of the various powerful families were actually more looking forward to meeting the legendary Madam Meng.
After all, this was the real counterattack, marrying upright and giving birth to a child generously. Fairy
Liu was like this, and only some young men would say that she was as beautiful as a fairy. The real mistress of the house would not look down on her. It was like people would ask a charlatan for some information, but would not want to marry a charlatan into the family.
If the Liu family had not agreed to take her in as an adopted daughter, they would not marry her into the family.
Those who want to listen to gossip, want to see Fairy Liu make a fool of herself, and want to marry off their daughters are looking forward to the return of Madam Meng and her second baby more than the Meng family.
Of course, there are also those with dark thoughts. It is unlikely that General Meng will be like Prince Han and become a father painlessly.
Finally.
On this day, the sky was filled with sunset glow. Although it was winter and there was no wind, it was not cold.
The carriages of the Meng family had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
Come to pick someone up.
Just arrived in the capital, and agreed to go to my brother-in-law's house.
Jiang Mianmian has no right to make decisions anyway, so just follow them.
Many of the servants of the Meng family are veterans who have retired from the battlefield. They look different from the servants of other families.
There is a sense of bravery in them.
Their movements are neat and orderly, and they don't look left and right.
When this group of people saw the leather-clad team coming towards them, their eyes met, and they had a feeling of déjà vu.
The old servant shuddered in his heart, and almost thought that the Jenny people had disguised themselves as civilians to enter the city.
This group of people had cold eyes, and it was unknown what kind of training they had received. They looked neat and tidy, as if they had more than one life on their hands.
When the servants noticed the slightly fat and square man in the lead, they recognized him.
Wow, this is our young master.
Meng Qingshe came to greet him in person to show respect for his in-laws.
Wow, good guy, he didn't recognize his son.
This... the food in the Jiang family is too good.
My son feels that he has gained a lot of weight.
Meng Shaoxia recognized his father at a glance, and instantly felt that his father had aged.
After not seeing him for more than three years, Dad has aged, has more wrinkles on his face, and has become much more worn out.
Meng Shaoxia was both excited and sad.
After reflecting on himself silently, he felt that he was really the kind of unfilial son who forgot his parents after getting married. His parents must have missed him so much that they were exhausted.
"Dad!"
Meng Shaoxia shouted.
Meng Qingshe's horse took a step back. He didn't want to recognize his son. His son was so stupid and fat. After
recognizing each other, the family went to the Meng Mansion in a mighty manner.
There were rows of restaurants and inns near the city gate. There
were many people sitting in the private rooms.
The emperor's grandson Chuxi booked one of the private rooms.
At first, he sent people to intercept and kill the Jiang family, but he didn't expect that the whole army would be wiped out. The failure was unreasonable.
Originally, I thought that a lion would use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
In the end, the lion was bitten to death by a rabbit?
As a result, the actions of the seventh prince in the capital were slowed down.
Of course, the Seventh Prince still has the most advantages. He is like a poisonous snake that has been lurking for years and has laid out his plans in the court long ago.
At the same time, he has long been eyeing Zi Lu's men.
After Zi Lu's death, most of the people defected to him.
The capital is now like a big whirlpool, precarious and ready to explode at any time.
Looking at the troops slowly moving away, Chu Xi sighed. In fact, sometimes he was even grateful to Jiang Er in his heart, because his father liked his second brother very much. His second brother was sincere and brave, and his father always praised him.
The third brother was spoiled and his father loved him very much.
As the eldest son, he could only be well-behaved. Maybe he was too much like his father. His father looked at him like a mirror. In daily life, his father didn't like him very much.
The praise he gave him was also distant praise, never close, like a superior and a subordinate.
Chu Xi was secretly observing the enemy.
How could Jiang Er kill their people?
He found that Jiang Er's horses were very good, and each horse was elite and worth a fortune.
This man was very cruel.
He didn't receive any news because Jiang Er really killed all the people and left no one alive. According to the information reported by the spies, Jiang Er set fire to the mountain.
It may be that everyone was burned to death, but if it was just fire, it would be impossible that no one escaped and no one was left alive. Chu Xi suspected that Jiang Er poisoned them at the same time.
This is a madman who doesn't care about the consequences. He kills, sets fires, and poisons people. He will do anything and has no bottom line
. Damn, the enemy is much worse than he thought.
This person will be a strong enemy, but fortunately, Chu Xi has confidence in his men, and Jiang Er must not know that he sent the person.
The enemy is in the open, and he is in the dark.
The sunset fell, and the long team of people disappeared at the end of the long street.
Jiang Mianmian, whose butt was sore from sitting in the carriage all day, lay down to get some fresh air.
The carriage started and she sat back.
Jiang Mianmian said to her mother: "Mom, someone was looking at us in the restaurant just now. It seemed to be Jiang Wan's cousin, the eldest son of the seventh prince."
