Chapter 428 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land (2)

If Liu Lai Fu had made other requests, Mei Xiang could have found thousands of reasons to refuse, but the request he made was really hard to refuse.

No one can be so cruel as to reject a child's ambition, especially if you are able to help.

So Meixiang thought it over again and again and decided to help him, but whether he could achieve his goal depended on his own luck.

"Xiao San, find someone to go to the Situ Mansion and ask the Second Young Master Situ to come over when he is free."

"Yes, ma'am."

After going through all the people he knew in his mind, he still had to trouble Situ Yidong. In his heart, he always felt that for things like this, he, who was parading on the streets and riding horses, had more options and was more suitable than Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen.

Situ Yidong arrived very quickly. Less than an hour after the person sent to deliver the message returned, he stepped into the gate of the Princess's Mansion.

"Sister Xiang'er, what do you want to talk to me about?" Before she got close, a voice reached her ears.

Meixiang smiled helplessly. This person was always full of energy. She turned around and looked at the time. This person must be staying for lunch.

"Xiao San, go to the kitchen and see what's available for lunch. Ask the cook to add two dishes that Master Situ likes."

These words happened to be heard by Situ Yidong who just came in. His eyes suddenly shone and shot directly at Meixiang.

"Sister Xiang'er still cares about me. Xiaosan, go and take a look and add a few more dishes. I'm hungry." As he said this, he wished he could push Xiaosan out of the room himself.

Turning around, she saw Meixiang nodded gently at her. Xiao San bowed to Situ Yidong who was standing at the door, then turned and walked out.

Situ Yidong closed the door, took a step forward to Meixiang, and held his girl in his arms. He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Meixiang struggled slightly, "Don't do this, it will be bad if Xiaosan and the others see us!"

"Don't worry. In your house, there is not even this much vision. I'd better replace her as soon as possible." Situ Yidun spoke in a flowery tone while tightening his hands.

Ever since he left Fuzhou Prefecture, he has never been able to get close to Meixiang again. He has been unable to control himself for a long time. Today is a rare opportunity. If he misses it, he will never forgive himself even in his dreams.

Meixiang chuckled and let him go. She then slowly told him why she had invited him here today.

It was a normal love story between a young boy and a young girl, even though it happened in the rather traditional Haoyue, but Meixiang could still accept it as long as it was not excessive and she was not afraid of outsiders seeing it.

With a soft female voice in his ears and a warm and beautiful woman in his arms, Situ Yidong was not Liu Xiahui, who could remain calm even when a woman's lap was on his chest. If he could still hold back and not do anything at this moment, he would not be himself.

So, he simply lowered his head and covered the red lips that were still chattering, until Meixiang couldn't bear it anymore and her body went limp.

"Sister Xiang'er, when are you going to give me a name?" Situ Yidun bit her red earlobe and asked while panting.

God knows how much self-control he had to use to not carry Meixiang away and hide her during the New Year's Eve banquet.

"It's not the right time yet. Let's wait a little longer." Meixiang thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

"Hmm..." Situ Yidong was stunned when he heard that, and asked anxiously: "You still want me to wait? I've been waiting for six years, how long do I have to wait? What do you think?!"

Meixiang shrank her neck guiltily. After the Chinese New Year, she would be seventeen years old, and Situ Yidong would be nineteen years old, which was considered an old youth or an old maid in Haoyue's eyes.

However, the timing is not right now. "You also know the current situation. Everyone is eyeing the position under the emperor's buttocks. It would be fine if there is a suitable candidate, but you have also seen the children in the two uncles' houses. Indeed..."

There really is no one suitable! Meixiang didn't finish her words, but her meaning was clear. If there was someone among them who could take on this responsibility, she could consider abdication, but...

She couldn't and dared not selfishly gamble with the kingdom that her parents had fought for with their lives on that one possible outcome.

"Then, how long do we have to wait?" Situ Yidong tightened his arms involuntarily. "You are such a good doctor, why don't you find a way for them to have more children as soon as possible?"

"Tsk, do you think you are giving birth to piglets?!......"

Before Meixiang could finish her words, she was blocked by someone who was angry. Only after she promised to make the queen pregnant as soon as possible and let the emperor grant her marriage immediately, did he let her go.

Xiao San, who had just returned from the kitchen after preparing the dishes, saw the closed door and immediately understood what was going on. She blushed and stood guard at the door herself.

Situ Yidong acted quickly. In the evening, Xiao Nuo sent him a visiting card from Qingfeng Academy, one of the best academies in the capital.

"The young master said that since he is the young lady's adopted brother, he should be a good person to the end. The dean of Qingfeng Academy has some friendship with the young master, so he let Young Master Liu go to audit for a period of time before the exam. It is better than studying at home."

Meixiang was stunned when she heard this. What does this boy do? Well, he really pleases her.

Liu Lai Fu was very lucky, but they could only help him up to this point. From then on it was up to him.

"Thank you, young master, for me."

"Miss, you're welcome." Xiao Nuo replied with a smile. Everyone in the Situ Mansion now regards Meixiang as the second young master's wife!

The next morning, Chen San found Liu Lai Fu, who was helping someone write a letter, in a corner of the market and handed him the cloth bag on his shoulder.

"Brother Chen San, why are you here?" Liu Lai Fu quickly stood up and asked in surprise.

"Does Qingfeng Academy know about this?" He asked in a low voice, looking at Liu Laifu who was standing in front of him with a helpless look on his face.

Qingfeng Academy? I'm sure there are few students in the whole month who don't know this name? He nodded hurriedly.

"The young lady has someone recommend you there. You will study there before the exam." She handed the cloth bag in her hand to Liu Laifu, "There is a visiting card inside. Keep it."

Glancing at the young man with round eyes and a stunned look on his face, Chen San couldn't help but remind him, "Don't tell anyone about the young lady's affairs, not even to your parents, understand?"

Meixiang can accept Liu Laifu and even help him within her ability, but that doesn't mean she wants to see Liu Fugui and other people, especially Liu Meihua and her daughter.

You can do good deeds without leaving your name, but you should always say some ugly words up front, to avoid being stuck to you like a smelly dog-skin plaster that you can’t get rid of.

Liu Lai Fu nodded blankly.

"Do you want me to take you to the academy?"

This time, the stunned Liu Lai Fu shook his head.

"Well, Miss will help you here. You have to do your best on your own on the rest of the way!" After saying that, Chen San looked at him deeply, turned around and walked towards the direction of the Princess's Mansion.

They were lucky. God let them meet Mei Xiang, which changed their fate. The three Chen brothers were lucky, the eighteen Mei Yings were lucky, Liu Lai Fu was lucky, and many people in Liuzhou Prefecture were lucky...

It was not until Chen San's figure blended into the crowd and disappeared for a long time that Liu Laifu realized what had just happened. He tightly grasped the cloth bag that was stuffed into his hand, as if he was grasping his own future at the same time.

Before returning to his seat, he slapped the medium-sized and heavy cloth bag on his knees with trembling hands.

Inside were two sets of clothes, covering him from head to toe, inside and out. The fabrics weren't particularly good, but they were definitely no worse than what he was wearing now. For his current status, they were just right.

In the middle of the clothes, there was an exquisite visiting card, signed by the second young master of the Situ Mansion - Situ Yidong, and below it was a silver note worth one hundred taels.

Tears instantly filled his eyes. This was the first time he felt warmth since leaving Liuzhou Prefecture, and this warmth came from the eldest princess, who had an unattainable status.

The examination system of Haoyue required the recommendation of the academic official of the academy or prefecture to participate. He was desperate and just wanted to grab the last straw and try his luck with Meixiang.

He really didn't expect that Meixiang would bring him such a big surprise. Not only did he have a letter of guarantee, he could also study at Qingfeng Academy, and even clothes, food and accommodation were prepared for him.
