Another day came, September 25th, the day of communion.

The girls all got up early and were called by the old lady to have breakfast in the front yard. They were warned one by one not to behave inappropriately in front of the princess, and then a carriage was arranged to take them to the agreed place.

After staying in the Grand View Garden all day long, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I'm tired of seeing it. Nowadays, it's rare to go out, and the sisters are naturally excited.

Originally, the government allocated three carriages, and it was Shi Xiangyun, and Tanchun took the lead to join in the fun. In the end, everyone crowded into the leading carriage, raising the curtains along the way, pointing and talking and laughing. It was really uncomfortable.

.

When passing by a mansion, Lin Daiyu suddenly said "Hey" and pointed out to everyone: "Is that the Mei family? Why is there still a soul-inducing flag in front of the door?"

Shi Xiangyun looked along what she pointed at and said hesitantly: "It seems to be the Mei family. Is their family having a funeral?"

Mei Hanlin originally planned to help the spirit to return to his hometown for burial, but suddenly he received the imperial edict of demotion and demotion. The matter of supporting the spirit was temporarily suspended, and the soul-drawing flag in front of the door was naturally not removed.

As for the two women being able to identify the Mei Mansion, it was all due to Jiao Shun's initial investigation and detailed description of the surroundings of the Mei Mansion - coupled with the plaque hanging high in front of the door, it is not surprising that they can identify it.

.

Looking away from the soul-inducing flag, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun glanced at each other unconsciously, feeling somewhat inexplicable in their hearts.

Although they were indignant at what the Mei family had done and joined the plan against the Mei family without hesitation, they never thought that the Mei family would be ruined as a result.

this……

Is it too much?

"Been there?"

Listening to Shi Xiangyun's hesitant expression of what was on his mind, Tanchun sneered disdainfully: "If my prediction is correct, it should be Mei Guangyan's mother who died. Then the old lady would have been terminally ill a long time ago. If this didn't happen, she might not have survived.

How many days to live?"

At this point, seeing that the two of them still couldn't let go, they added: "Think about it, if Brother Jiao hadn't taken action, Sister Qin's mother would have dragged her long-term illness all the way to the capital, but she would be called out every day.

Those who responded to the call were unable to respond, and in a moment of anger..."

The words that followed were suspected of cursing her elders, so she did not say them out loud.

But Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun also understood the unfinished meaning of the words, and their originally tangled expressions suddenly relaxed a lot.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but nod her head and said: "Listening to what the third sister said, Brother Jiao is really kind to the Xue family."

She only said half of what she said, thinking secretly in her heart that the second wife of the Xue family didn't know if she could understand this truth. If she could, it would definitely be helpful for Bao Qin to marry into the Jiao family.

"Amitabha."

At this time, Xichun on the side clasped her palms together and said with compassion: "Although what the third sister said is reasonable, the dead person is the most important. Sisters should not rejoice in others' misfortune. They should have a compassionate and tolerant heart."

Everyone didn't notice and looked at her sideways. Seeing her compassionate attitude, they didn't think there was anything wrong with saying these words from her own mouth, and they were all speechless.

After a long while, Lin Daiyu complained to Xiangyun and Tanchun in a low voice: "Could it be that the fourth sister is stupid in chanting sutras? She doesn't show any pretense to the relatives around her, but she shows so much compassion to an outsider who can't be touched by eight poles. This is really..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun were also speechless, neither of them could understand this kind of behavior of being harsh and cruel to family members, but compassionate and tolerant to strangers.

No other words were spoken the whole way.

Seeing that they were not far from the newly built villa of Nan'an Palace, two carriages merged into the group on the roadside, but they were the carriages of Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin.

It was inconvenient to say hello on the way, so after getting off the carriage at the corner gate of Bieyuan, the two groups, who had been separated for many days, couldn't wait to 'bump' into each other.

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu were the most excited. They each held Baochai and Baoqin to talk about their farewells.

After Baochai comforted Xiangyun for a few words, he immediately approached Yingchun and asked about her recent situation. He also comforted her in a roundabout way and expressed his support for her "rebellion against her father".

After this exchange of greetings and greetings, Tanchun took advantage of the opportunity before Princess Nan'an came out to welcome her. He told what he had seen when he passed Mei's house just now, and solemnly reminded: "Nothing else, Sister Bao must beware of Mei."

Family, let’s use Mrs. Mei’s death to cause trouble again.”

Baochai smiled and said: "Sister Duocheng kindly reminded me, but this matter has been solved secretly by Brother Jiao, so the Mei family will never dare to repeat it again."

As soon as Tanchun heard this, he knew that there was something else going on. Before he could find out what was going on, Princess Piannan'an had already come out to greet her, and all the girls came forward to greet her, so they couldn't care less about anything else.

…………

At the same time, Mei Mansion.

Although he had been demoted, because his position had not been determined, Mei Guangyan still wore the seventh-grade official uniform. He opened his arms and let his wife sort out the details, and said in a deep voice: "Baosen, you went to the south."

Remember to visit your old friends on behalf of your father. If there is anything you need, ask your clan uncle to help..."

He rambled a lot, but Mapleson's words went in one ear and out the other.

The rebellious son originally thought that after his father's love was stolen, the family would be able to stay in the capital. Unexpectedly, although Mei Guangyan was incapable of doing anything else, he sent him to support his father all the way south and keep filial piety in his hometown on his behalf.

This made Mapleson reluctant in every possible way, but he couldn't find any reason to shirk it.

He muttered for a long time, but suddenly a great idea came to his mind, so he hurriedly said: "Father, after all, my son is young and illiterate. If there are only mistakes, wouldn't it make my grandmother feel uneasy? Why not?

Let the mother go south with her son? With the mother in charge of the overall situation in her hometown, the father can also serve the emperor with peace of mind in the capital."

As she said that, she looked at her mother secretly. Because her filial piety was still there, the lovable Mrs. Mei was covered in plain clothes. Although there was a touch of sadness and bitterness on her face, it not only did not damage the color, but made her look more and more confused.

pity.

Ma Baosen couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva, saying in his heart that as the saying goes, when you marry, you will obey your husband, and when the husband dies, you will obey your son. Although my father is still alive and well, what is the difference between being thousands of miles away and being dead?

Then the mother will naturally...

"Um……"

How did Mei Guangyan know that his son wanted to replace him with Bi Ke?

After hearing that what he said made some sense, I couldn't help stroking my beard and thinking in thought.

"No!"

Mrs. Mei's delicate body trembled slightly, and she immediately rejected it.

If her son had not shown his ambition, she would probably have asked to follow him back to his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to avoid trouble.

But after seeing Mapleson's true face, how could she not know what this beastly thing was up to?

Therefore, she would rather stay in the capital and deal with the hungry wolf than go south with this unfilial son!

That way, even though she lost her virginity, at least she still retained her moral integrity.

"Um?"

After hearing this, Mei Guangyan immediately looked at his wife with an unhappy face. Although he had not yet made up his mind to let his wife follow him south, he could not help but have his wife refuse the matter.

"master."

Mrs. Mei was a little flustered under his gaze, but she still managed to raise her head and look at him and said: "You are not thinking about tea and food these days. You are getting thinner and thinner day by day. I can't take care of you in the capital."

How can we leave with peace of mind?"

Seeing that his wife was reluctant to part with him, but not unwilling to carry the spirit south, Mei Hanlin's face softened a little, and he shook his head and said: "I'm not Baosen, how can I still not be able to take care of myself? Burying my mother is a big deal, if he is only one and a half years old

child……"

"Aren't there some clan brothers at home?"

Mrs. Mei interrupted him and argued rationally: "If the master is not present then, it will be quite inconvenient for me to come forward."

"Aren't there still aunts..."

Ma Baosen couldn't help but interject, but in the middle of the sentence, he was interrupted by Mrs. Mei: "Okay, sir, it's getting late. Aren't you going to the Ministry of Works to see the Jiao Jijiu?"

Engineering is still on the drawing board. As the first and only person to be explicitly transferred to [Demoted] Engineering, Mei Hanlin originally did not need to visit Shangguan so early.

However, after analysis by him and his son, the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, it was determined that the emperor sent him, a person who had a grudge against Jiao Shun, to go to the engineering school in the hope that he could check and monitor Jiao Shun.

In this case, it is natural to take up the post as soon as possible and fully participate in the preparation of the engineering school in order to live up to the emperor's trust.

Hearing his wife's reminder, Mei Guangyan turned his head and looked at the wall clock on the wall, sighed, adjusted his crown in a superfluous way and said: "Come on, Mei is going to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden for the sake of the country and pretend to be a snake.

"

With that said, he strode out of the house with a rather windy and sultry demeanor.

As soon as he left the house, Mrs. Mei turned cold, gritted her teeth and glared at her son, then turned back and closed the door tightly.

When Mabelson saw this, his face immediately fell.

Xindao's mother was so vigilant that she might not give herself a chance to make a move in the short term.

Forget it, I might as well go back to my hometown and lie dormant for two or three years. By then, my mother will probably have forgotten the past, and my father will be getting older and weaker. Without a loving and nourishing woman, it will probably be easier for him to take action.

Fantasizing about the drama of the king's return the next day, Mabelson had a proud smile on his face, but he never thought that not only was his idea completely unrealistic, but he had already been cut off midway.

…………

Mei Guangyan didn't know about the drama of motherhood and sonship at home, so she took a car to the Ministry of Industry and walked around the yamen gate for more than ten times before she finally plucked up the courage to go forward and submit a letter to ask for permission.

Mei Hanlin's name is also well-known in the capital.

Seeing that it was him who submitted a letter asking to see Mr. Jiao, the little official guarding the door immediately became more vigilant and asked with a straight face: "My lord, I want to see Jiao Jijiu, but I don't know why?"

"So that your Majesty will know."

Mei Guangyan slightly cupped his hands and said stiffly: "I have been appointed by the imperial government to be appointed as an official in engineering studies. I am here to pay homage to your superior today."
