[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

Hearing her mother say Baochai's name, Liu Mei felt a little confused.

She put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, looked up at her mother, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, I'm out now, if I still want to go back to the garden to see Miss Lin, what else can I do?"

When Mother Liu heard her question, she naturally knew what she was thinking.

"Mei'er," she thought about her words before she opened her mouth, "When I was in the garden earlier, Wu'er told me not to let you know that Second Master Bao was getting married. Secretly hiding Miss Lin's side. This is also for... Miss Lin's well-being!"

Liu Mei quickly shook her head: "It's not like that, mother, you don't understand..."

Bao Dai's former alliance between wood and stone is already old, how can it be counted?What matters now is Daiyu's future.

Mother Liu said, "Mother, why don't you understand?"

She said, sighed and continued: "How does Second Master Bao treat Miss Bao, and how does he treat Miss Lin? We have been in the garden all these years, and we all see it. But for a person like Second Master Bao, he himself How can he be the master of his own marriage? Just think about it, why is the empress in the palace so anxious to order the two families to marry?"

Liu Mei was speechless, after a while, she said softly: "The empress who has gone out of the mansion is happy, I am afraid that she is in urgent need of family support."

She admitted that her mother's analysis was very reasonable, but the point now is really not what will happen to Daiyu when she finds out about the marriage, but what will happen to Daiyu in the future.How to get Daiyu out of Jia's mansion smoothly, lest Daiyu be regarded as a tool to make friends with high-ranking families by Jia's family, and be forced into a red line to marry those who don't know, this is the most important thing .

Mother Liu couldn't understand Liu Mei's thoughts, so she only comforted her and said: "The empress in the palace will issue an order tomorrow, so the mansion will definitely be very busy, and no one else will be allowed to enter. Wait a few days... ...It's not too late for you to go to the mansion again in a few days. Anyway, Second Master Bao hasn't come back yet, so they will definitely keep the news from Miss Lin during this period of time."

But how can Liu Mei wait these few days.

She secretly took the gold medal bestowed by the saint last time on her body, and then went to Jia's mansion.

If it's just a gift of gold and jade for marriage, then that's fine.But in case Jia's mansion acts like a monster and dares to do something that is not good for Daiyu, she can't say, she will ask the old man, the saint, to come forward and suppress her.

When we arrived at the gate of Rongfu, we saw that it was very lively here.

The eunuchs in the palace had already brought Fengyu to Jia's mansion to announce the imperial concubine's decree.The middle door of Rongfu was wide open, and there was an incense table inside. Jia's mother and others all made up according to their ranks, while Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng all came out in official uniforms and knelt down to accept the order.And many people are outside to watch the fun and inquire about the news.

After the servants in the palace announced their intention to leave, more than a dozen firecrackers with a thousand rings were hung outside the gate of Jia's mansion and set off, it was very lively and festive.

Liu Mei secretly inquired among the crowd, and when she heard that the imperial concubine made an order to marry her younger brother and no one else was involved, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She bypassed the main entrance of Rong Mansion, walked through the back street of Rongning, found the corner gate of the Grand View Garden that she used to go in and out of, and knocked on the door to enter.

With a sound of "click", the door panel opened, and a head poked out from inside. Seeing Liu Mei, he immediately said in a strange way: "Who am I? It turns out to be a stinky girl from the Liu family!"

Seeing the face of the visitor, Liu Mei cried out inwardly.

This person is not someone else, but belongs to Qin Xian's family.

At the beginning, Qin Xian's family was sorry for their small kitchen, and even took it to take care of it for a long time. I heard that they lost a lot of money because of it, and they posted a lot of things to go in, and suffered a big loss.So seeing Liu Mei at this moment, Qin Xian's family's complexion was extremely ugly, and his nose almost turned up to the sky.

"Aunt Qin, please, I want to go into the garden to see Miss Lin. When I was playing with Zijuan and the others, something fell into her place."

"Hmph!" Qin Xian's family didn't mean to be accommodating at all, "I've already said something, the mansion is busy today, I'm afraid that some idler will come and wander in the mansion..."

Liu Mei: Am I that screwdriver doing nothing?

"Without a badge from the mansion, no one is allowed to enter the mansion or enter the garden."

Liu Mei was furious, turned around and left, planning to think of other ways—there was another way to find her former friend Lin Xiaohong, but Second Grandma Yun must be busy today, so she may not be able to find time to help her.

Before Liu Mei took two steps, she heard Qin Xian's family behind her laughing at her: "Back then, you mother and daughter thought you kept the small kitchen, didn't you? Now it's good, the small kitchen is also closed, and your mother and daughter have also been kicked out. Are you out of the house?"

After going on for a long time, Qin Xian's family actually thought that Liu's mother and daughter were released by the mansion this time because the small kitchen was closed.

Liu Mei turned around and looked at Qin Xian's family coldly, she was hair straightened, she quickly retreated to the corner door, and said loudly: "What are you doing, you are living outside the house now?"

Liu Mei bared her teeth at her, clenched her fist and shook her, the Qin Xian family immediately remembered the two duck heads back then, and closed the door to death with a "snap" in fright, locking Liu Mei outside .

"this--"

Liu Mei looked at the high wall of the Grand View Garden, seeing no good solution, she simply called her system——

"Is there any way for me to knock on this door?"

"The method of knocking on the corner door—no."

Liu Mei was very discouraged.

"But if you want to enter the garden, Shiqing can take you in."

Liu Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she forgot about her "boyfriend"'s ability to go high and low.

"Wait a moment, Shiqing just came out of the palace, let him come to you right away." Shiqing System agreed cleanly.

Sure enough, not long after, a galloping horse came towards Rongning's backstreet, attracting the attention of the servants of Jia's mansion who lived in the backstreet.

When Liu Mei saw this, she sighed: This is not possible, this Prince Zhongshun, wearing a full set of hats and jade belts for entering the palace, python robes and jade belts, took her outside the Grand View Garden of Jia's Mansion, ready to climb over the wall?

Unexpectedly, when Shiqing came to Liu Mei, he stretched his ape's arms, and lifted Liu Mei onto the horse's back. Before everyone in Jia's mansion could see clearly, the two rode away like lightning.

Liu Mei: "Ai ai ai, didn't you agree to enter the garden?"

Shiqing: "Let's go into the garden and wait until it gets darker! There is one thing I want to tell you first."

He is very good at riding, and he came and went like the wind in the not too spacious streets of the capital. In the blink of an eye, he had already brought her to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, jumped off his horse, threw the whip into the hands of the chief historian, and picked her up. Liu Mei went straight to the palace hall.

Liu Mei blinked, and saw a person kneeling outside the gate of the palace, who described it as beautiful, it was none other than Jiang Yuhan who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"This person..."

Liu Mei stared dumbfounded at Jiang Yuhan kneeling on the cold bluestone floor. Seeing Jiang Yuhan's stiff posture, she guessed that this person had been kneeling for a long time.When she looked over, it was at the same time that Jiang Yuhan raised his head, and his eyes met hers.

Liu Mei was certainly surprised, but Jiang Yuhan was also stunned when she saw Liu Mei being carried on Shi Qing's shoulders so intimately and went straight to the mansion.

"Don't worry about him," Shiqing said as he walked, "he's just a begging actor."

Liu Mei lay on Shiqing's shoulder, hugged tightly by him, unable to move, so she could only stare at Jiang Yuhan, and then obediently "robbed" into the mansion by Shiqing.

"I entered the palace today to congratulate you, and I happened to meet someone who came to propose marriage to me. The person in this marriage has something to do with you, so I want to hear your opinion."

Liu Mei guessed it all at once, "The only daughter of the former Yangzhou patrol censor Lin Ruhai?"

Shiqing nodded, "Yes, it is Crimson Pearl."

For a moment, Liu Mei's heart was ups and downs, and she really didn't know what to think - Jia's family wanted to marry Daiyu into Prince Zhongshun's mansion?

Shiqing understood the reason of Liu Mei's astonishment, and sneered in a low voice: "Besides this king, there are many other families who also received secret hints from Rongfu. A daughter, who is rumored to be both talented and beautiful, even if the Prince Zhongshun is indifferent, she will be warmed by others."

"It's just that, before this king refuses, the Jia family naturally dare not speak out to others."

Liu Mei slapped the table next to her, "Shameless!"

"What Rongfu did was just for a profit." Shiqing was not as angry as Liu Mei.

Liu Mei stood up and said loudly, "Shameless, shameless and shameless!" She felt that her lungs were going to explode, Jia Fu, does this still mean that Daiyu is a relative?Or should it be used as a thing, when it should be used?

However, Shiqing remained calm from beginning to end, as if this "Prince Loyalty and Obedience" was not himself at all.

"Next is the question that this king wants to ask you. If this king agrees to the Jia family's marriage proposal, he will naturally arrange a place for Jiangzhu to settle down and protect her from any worries in this life. Under this kind of result, she is only taking a burden. Marriage with this king is a vain name, but she can enjoy honor and freedom. Compared with other families in the Jia family who released their marriage wishes, her situation may be much better."

"What this king wants to ask is, are you willing?"

Shiqing's eyes were clear, but he stared closely at Liu Mei, not letting go.

Liu Mei ignored his piercing gaze, thought for a moment, raised her head and asked in doubt: "Didn't you always say that the fate of Jiangzhu's tears cannot be changed, so how can you ask these things now?"

"Yes, the fate of Jiangzhu's tears in the lower realm cannot be changed—but, no one has ever said that Jiangzhu's fate should be 'dying with tears'. It can be seen that for her, the most important turning point, It should be the moment when she shed tears."

Shiqing made it clear that Liu Mei felt boundless hopes all of a sudden.

"This means that……"

Shi Qing nodded at her, "Right now, it seems that there is indeed hope."

Liu Mei was overjoyed immediately, and looked at Shiqing with a smile.

At this moment, Shiqing approached Liu Mei, stretched out his fingers, gently stroked the few strands of hair scattered on both sides of Liu Mei's cheeks, and asked lightly, "Liu Mei, you haven't agreed to this king. This king is married to Jiang in name." Pearl is a concubine, are you... willing or not?"

Many thoughts flashed quickly in Liu Mei's mind, she stared into Shiqing's eyes in front of her, and suddenly said decisively: "I don't want to."

Shiqing's eyes shrank slightly, "Why? This king said that if Prince Zhongshun himself nodded to this marriage, Jiangzhu's future situation may be much better."

Liu Mei sighed and looked at Shiqing.

"I've tried my best to understand you and trust you, so don't use this method to test me again, okay?"

Shiqing still stared at her without speaking, but there was a faint light flowing in his eyes.

"I said I would be responsible to you, so what I want to face is a complete you. Feelings have nothing to do with others. Any behavior that involves others at will is irresponsible."

"So, Shiqing, no matter who the other party is, who belongs to you, or who belongs to me, I don't want it. I hope that the relationship between the two of us is the simplest and purest."

"I say so, are you satisfied?"

Liu Mei was very serious and said every word.

But Shiqing suddenly opened his arms, took her into his arms, sighed with satisfaction, reached out and gently rubbed the hair on her hair.

"However, since this is the case, what are your plans on the other side of Jiangzhu?" Shi Qing asked Liu Mei.

Liu Mei struggled out of Shiqing's arms, rolled her eyes, pressed her chest, and said, "Anyway, there is a saint's gold medal, so we are not afraid of any moths flying out of Jia's mansion."

"However, I hope that this time, she can choose by herself."
