Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 77
When Xiantou and Meng He left, the nanny next to Mrs. Meng received a signal from Mrs. Meng and directly found an excuse to stay in Meng He's yard.

When Mrs. Meng came back, Mammy was standing at the door and saw her rushing up to meet her.

"The servant guarded the door and didn't let the servant into the house."

Mrs. Meng nodded and entered the room.

Instead of going anywhere else, she went straight to Meng He's window and lifted the quilt with her own hands.

A long box came into view.

Mrs. Meng picked it up and opened it and saw the pearl hairpin.

Her eyes couldn't help shrinking, and there were countless guesses in her heart.

"This... is it that the young master bought it for his wife?" Mammy hesitated for a while.

Mrs. Meng shook her head, it looked like the style used by the little girl.

She made up her mind and ordered: "Call the boy in the yard."

Mrs. Meng has not been able to conceive a child since she gave birth to Meng He, and even the concubine Tong Fang in the house has not been able to conceive.

Because of this matter, Mr. Meng visited many doctors with her, but he couldn't find out what's wrong with her body.

When they were young, the two of them struggled a lot unwillingly, and tried everything quietly.

It's just that they haven't been able to fulfill their wish for many years. At any rate, they already have a son, and the couple slowly gave up.

It's just that Meng He became more and more nervous.

Not only is he careful in everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he is also extremely attentive in parenting and homework.

Mrs. Meng was afraid of delaying Meng He's study, so he didn't even have a maid in his yard, and the house was tightly controlled on weekdays. Except for the occasional conversation with his mother-in-law, the maids were admonished not to talk to the young master casually.

Fortunately, Meng He lived up to expectations. Not only was he obedient and filial, but he was also very hardworking in his homework. He was admitted as a scholar at a young age.

So far, the Meng couple's desire to have a son become a dragon has become even more urgent.

Now that Mrs. Meng suddenly found out that her son had hidden the jewelry from the girl's family, how could she not be worried.

The boy was quickly called up, and seeing the solemn atmosphere in the room, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Mrs. Meng comforted her: "Don't be nervous, I just asked you where your young master has been these days?"

The young man bowed his waist and immediately replied: "Young Master, besides going to the Imperial College to study, he only goes to the Third Master of the Su Mansion, or goes to bookstores and study shops with the third Young Master Su and a few classmates."

Mrs. Meng felt a little more at ease when she heard the words, she didn't want to go to those dubious places.

"Then has he talked to or met any lady outside?"

The little servant was startled, and quickly shook his head: "I didn't see you when I went out with the young master."

Mrs. Meng raised her voice and said "um", and the servant immediately trembled.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng took out the pearl hairpin: "Why is there something for women in the young master's room?"

The young man raised his head and was startled, then blurted out, "Didn't the young master buy this for the madam?"

He happened to be the one who followed Meng He into the jewelry store to buy hairpins, but he didn't understand the difference between women's jewelry, Meng He didn't say anything, he just thought it was for Mrs. Meng.

At that time, he even lamented that his young master was filial!
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing his words.

Could it be that she was thinking too much?

She shook her head quickly.

The servant doesn't understand these things, but her son does. He bought her jewelry before, and he always agrees with her every time. It's impossible for him to make a mistake this time.

What's more, I have bought this hairpin for several days and haven't seen him give it to me, obviously I have other plans.

However, since it wasn't given to the son by another girl, it was the girl the son wanted to give it to.

Madam Meng made up her mind and continued to ask: "Think carefully about which young lady the young master has contacted with. If you dare to hide something, you don't have to wait in front of the young master anymore."

The boy became even more nervous, thinking about it, but there was no one to choose, and he almost cried.

"Ma'am, the young master has indeed never been in contact with any lady! Even in the Su Mansion that I often go to, I have never met any of the other ladies except Miss Su San occasionally!"

Mrs. Meng's expression was shocked, "You mean Miss Su?"

The servant nodded hastily, "I only met Miss San a few times in Master Su San's study, and we left after a few polite words."

Mrs. Meng couldn't help but fell silent.

After a long time, she said: "Go down, take good care of the young master in the future, don't let him know about this, understand?"

The servant hurriedly responded, saluted and retreated.

Mrs. Meng's expression was complicated: "I didn't expect it to be this girl, alas, this child He'er..."

Mammy couldn't believe it: "Did we misunderstand? Didn't the boy say that he only met a few times?"

Mrs. Meng said firmly: "It can't be wrong, there is no one else but her." Her son knew that he should have been interested in Su Jingning since he was on the boat.

She thought for a while and sighed: "This girl is good or bad, I don't have to say anything about her appearance and character, it's just her life experience..."

Although her uncle is about to be rehabilitated, the Mu family and the Bo family are deadly rivals. The Bo family is powerful, and the Seventh Prince is even more favored. Naturally, the Meng family is unwilling to get involved.

Nanny is Mrs. Meng's confidant, so she naturally understands her concerns, and both of them feel worried for a while.

After a while, Mrs. Meng said with regret: "It would be great if she was the daughter of the eldest son of the Su family!"

But this is just thinking about it, and she ordered: "Tell everyone in this yard to keep their mouths tight, and don't let He'er know."

Mammy responded quickly.

Mrs. Meng put the pearl hairpin back into the box and stuffed it into the quilt.

Young and young Ai was nothing at all, but now she is a little embarrassed.

Meng Hecai worshiped Su Heng as his teacher, and he has made great progress recently, but he has developed a heart of admiration for Su Jingning. Whenever he goes to Su's house, he will inevitably meet other girls. Mrs. Meng doesn't know whether he should let him go again. up.

Thinking of this, she sighed again. She was grateful to Su Jingning for the first two hours, but now her mouth was bitter.

However, she couldn't make up her mind about this matter, so she got up and left the house and returned to the main room.

When her husband came back from the outer courtyard, she still had to discuss it with him.

At this time, Su Jingning was in a state of joy.

Su Heng told her that Mu Xiuzhu would arrive in Kyoto around the Lantern Festival.

And her grandmother and aunt will be a few days later.

Su Jingning immediately looked forward to it, and started counting the days after the new year, only looking forward to the Lantern Festival.

On the day before the festival, Mu Hai cheerfully came to the door and said that Mu Xiuzhu had heard the news that he was going to Beijing soon.

Su Heng wanted to take Su Jingning to pick up his brother at the city gate.

Su Jingning hurriedly tidied herself up, and as soon as she took Nianqing out of the house, Danyun came in from the yard.

Seeing Su Jingning, she panicked for a moment before going up to say hello to her master.

Su Jingning asked her to stand up with no change in expression, asked a few questions with a smile, and left with Nianqing.
