Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 76 Pearl Hairpin

When Su Jingning came out of Su Jingyan's yard, she went directly to Su Heng's place, and wanted to ask him if he knew when her grandmother's family would be able to arrive in the capital.

As soon as he got to the door, he saw Meng He coming out from inside.

She stopped and greeted Meng He, and then asked with a smile, "Master Meng came to pay New Year's greetings to father?"

Meng He formally worshiped Su Heng as his teacher years ago. At that time, Meng He's father not only brought his wife and children to present the ceremony of apprenticeship, but also stayed at Su's house for dinner. The two families got along quite harmoniously.

Meng He might as well meet Su Jingning suddenly, blushed first, then hurriedly returned the salute, then smiled and said, "I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to Mr., and I'm here to talk to Junshi by the way."

Su Jingning nodded: "The third cousin is at home, I just came from his courtyard, Mr. Meng, hurry up!"

Meng He responded, hesitated for a while before saying goodbye to Su Jingning.

After watching people enter Su Heng's yard, he raised his hand to touch something in his pocket and sighed in frustration.

When they arrived at Su Jingyan's yard, they also looked sleepy.

Su Jingyan was in a good mood, seeing him like this, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

Meng He shook his head, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Su Jingyan didn't ask any more questions. He just silently brought him a cup of tea and sat beside him.

He has never liked to force others, and he does not want to say that there must be a reason.

Meng He sat with him for a while, then left and went home.

Mrs. Meng was a little surprised when she saw him come back: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Usually, I don’t come back until after dinner.

Meng He casually found an excuse, "After all, it's the Chinese New Year, so I'm afraid that my husband will have something to do and it's not easy to leave after staying longer."

Mrs. Meng thinks about it too, everyone is at home during the Chinese New Year, so it is inevitable to visit relatives and friends, like Meng He's father received his friends in the outer courtyard!

She asked Meng He to go back to her room, "Since I got back early, I might as well stop reading, and those who celebrate the Chinese New Year should also take a good rest."

Meng He responded, and walked in with a dull head.

Mrs. Meng couldn't help but wondered when she saw it: "What happened to this child today?"

The nurse next to her guessed, "Maybe it's because I woke up early in the morning and got sleepy."

Mrs. Meng nodded. She had to worship the ancestors on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she got up much earlier than usual, and she didn't feel so tired even after taking a break from her work.

She thought for a while and ordered: "Let the kitchen bring the bird's nest to the stew pot for the young master to supplement."

Mammy agreed, and said with a smile: "Young master studies hard, so the nutrition must keep up."

Madam Meng sighed: "That's not true, especially in recent days I have been studying harder and harder."

Mammy said, "Although the old slave doesn't know how to do learning, but seeing how satisfied the master is when he takes the exam for the young master recently, he knows that the young master's hard work has not been in vain."

Mrs. Meng was very relieved when she said this: "It's also because he has recently recognized Mr. Deli. That third master Su was a Tanhualang back then. With him teaching He'er, the master and I can feel more at ease."

The nanny echoed: "Master Su is indeed very knowledgeable, even the third son of Su's mansion often praises him!"

Meng Shi smiled: "Otherwise, how would I want He'er to get close to him, the two of us will always benefit more when we are together."

As she spoke, she sighed, "I didn't expect that taking a boat for someone helped He'er find a good husband and classmate."

The nanny complimented: "Madam, your kindness has been reciprocated! If you hadn't brought Miss Su San back to Beijing first, how would things have happened later?"

Mrs. Meng waved her hands and smiled: "I'm not kind, but Miss Su San, not only saved me once, but also brought a husband to He'er later, she is a lucky star."

Thinking of this, she asked: "I remember it's her birthday these few days, did our mansion give you a gift?"

Mammy nodded quickly: "I have given it, and the gift is generous."

Mrs. Meng nodded in satisfaction, and was also happy in her heart. She simply took people to the kitchen and prepared to prepare some food and send it to Meng He herself.

Meng He sat at the desk and took out a box from his sleeve pocket.

Open the box and inside is a butterfly-shaped pearl hairpin, which is very elegant and delicate.

He passed by a jewelry store on the street that day, perhaps because of the clerk's words "Do you want to buy some jewelry for the lady at home", so he entered the shop in a daze, and immediately took a fancy to this hairpin.
At that time, he felt that this hairpin must match Miss Su San very well.

So, I bought it without much thought.

Today he happily went to Su's mansion. Apart from wishing his husband a New Year greeting, he also wondered if he would be lucky enough to meet Su Jingning, and then give her the hairpin.

In the end, he did meet someone, but he just looked at Su Jingning's crescent-like eyes, but he didn't have the courage to take the thing out.

Miss Su San met him a few times only because of her husband, and they were not close to each other, so what excuse did he have to give him hairpins?
Meng He reached out and touched the shiny pearls on the hairpin, feeling very melancholy.

Mrs. Meng came here at this time.

When she entered the room with a smile, Meng Hecai heard the movement and hid the box containing the hairpins in the bedding in a panic, but she happened to be looking straight at her.

Mrs. Meng's eyes flickered slightly, but she pretended not to see and just ordered someone to put the snack bird's nest she brought on the table.

Only then did Meng He breathe a sigh of relief, and went to her side and asked, "Why is mother here?"

Mrs. Meng looked at him carefully before saying: "Mother saw that your complexion was not good just now and she was worried, so she came to see you."

Meng He smiled and said, "Perhaps I've been tired recently, just take a rest."

Mrs. Meng personally brought the bird's nest to him: "That's why I need to make up more, but don't burn your body."

Meng He responded honestly and took his hand and began to eat.

Mrs. Meng turned around while watching him worrying.

"How's He'er's studies going well recently?" She asked.

Meng He nodded: "Mr. taught me very hard, and Junshi often studied with me. My son feels that he has made great progress recently."

"The third master Su is a good gentleman, and the third son is also good." Mrs. Meng smiled, and said tentatively: "If He'er has any difficulties or concerns, you can also talk to them."

She paused, and then said: "Of course, it's okay to talk to mother or your father."

Meng He smiled and ate the bird's nest again, but didn't say anything else.

Mrs. Meng stared at the top of her son's head, but her mind was a little far away.

Just before Master Meng heard that Meng He was back, he sent someone to meet his guests, and Mrs. Meng sent her son all the way to the outer courtyard.

"Go, don't be nervous, it's just a common uncle who wants to test you." She straightened Meng He's collar.

After watching Meng He enter Master Meng's study, she stood up a bit and walked back when she heard voices coming from inside.

All the way straight to Meng He's yard.
