From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 229
Summon cattails and sweet-scented osmanthus to follow, cardamom leads away.

Since she met Lu Qingchuan before, she was not considered an outsider, Mei Xin didn't dress up, and she was wearing a half-worn jacket.Considering that it was the first time they met, and it was the empress's younger brother, a celebrity in front of the emperor, it would be rude to go out like this, and felt inappropriate, so Mei Xin went back to Qing Zhixie and changed her clothes and put on makeup again.

After a stick of incense, Mei Xin, who had redressed her makeup, came to the front yard. As soon as she entered the front hall, she saw more than a dozen large camphorwood boxes on the ground.She didn't expect to get so many things back, she frowned slightly involuntarily.

To be honest, her intention was not to return these things, even though many of them could not be bought even if she had money, she felt disgusted, unlucky, and even more eye-catching after being in the hands of Prince Chu Huai's Mansion.Therefore, she wanted the emperor to give her money directly.

One million taels of silver is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and it is a lot for aristocratic families, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the emperor.The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager loves King Chu Huai very much. Even if the Emperor refused to take the money, the Empress Dowager would definitely take it, but she did not expect that the Emperor would send all these things back intact.

I have to say that this family is quite disgusting, and they don't care about other people's feelings at all, let alone the red-hot loyalty of the Mei family.

While meditating, Mei Zhongkai, who was talking to Zongzheng Mingzhen, spotted her first, and whispered to him, "My eldest sister is here", and he greeted him and called out: "Elder sister!"

Hearing the sound, Mei Xin smiled instinctively, and after a hum, she said lightly: "It's cold at night, why don't you wear more clothes when you come out?"

It's the first snow this year in Liangzhou, and it's said that it's almost here in the capital, and it's much colder today.

Looking down at his clothes, Mei Zhongkai said indifferently, "Fortunately, it's not very cold! Big sister, this is Lord Zongzheng, the empress's younger brother."

As Mei Zhongkai turned around, Mei Xin saw Zongzheng Mingzhen, and saw that he was wearing a dark blue cloud brocade round collar robe inside, a black cloak outside, a belt around his waist, and a piece of emerald jade on his belt.His face was like a crown of jade, his skin was like white snow, especially against that red forehead, he was even more beautiful.

There are beauties in the north, peerless and independent.Take a look at the city of Qingren, and then look at the country of Qingren.Originally it was about women, but Mei Xin felt that it could not be more suitable for him.

He has an amazing appearance, but he is different from Yan Jingchen. Yan Jingchen is weak, like a scholar from Jiangnan.He is full of masculinity, plus he is tall, neither fat nor thin, not majestic, everything is just right.

Mei Xin felt uncomfortable when she saw Yan Jingchen's beauty, but she didn't know why looking at him was pleasing to the eye.The noble son of the capital, the queen's younger brother, and the celebrity in front of the imperial court, did not disappoint her.

"Zongzheng Mingzhen, I have met the eldest princess!" He is a first-rank Marquis, and with Mei Xinzheng's third-rank official title, he must first salute when meeting him.But now that she is named the eldest princess of the town, she is equal to the emperor's daughter, so he has to salute first.

Seeing him clasping his hands and saluting very politely, Mei Xin said: "Master Hou, you are being polite, it's cold outside, let's sit inside!"

Growing up in the military camp, I saw men most of the time. Even though he was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, it was just pleasing to the eye, and there was nothing very special about him.Therefore, as soon as Mei Xin finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the hall.

It was the first time that she was ignored by a woman for her appearance, and Zongzheng Mingzhen's affection for her rose linearly.He thought that she was indeed different from what he had imagined, and she was not a superficial person.

Mei Zhongkai did not follow, but made a gesture of invitation to Zongzheng Mingzhen and said, "Please, Lord Hou!"

Smiling slightly, Zongzheng Mingzhen was not polite to him, and walked ahead of him, and Mei Zhongkai followed immediately.

Sitting upright, the servant girl served tea, and it wasn't until Mei Xin sat down at the bottom that Zongzheng Mingzhen realized that she had changed.Not only did she look better than when she was in Liangzhou, but her demeanor was also quite different.

Because she was wearing women's clothes, Mei Xin wore a cloudy temples today, and she didn't wear a lot of headgear, but only a small fan-shaped red gold ruby ​​walker.The pendant of the Bu Yao is made of ruby ​​the size of soybeans, and the gems are inlaid on a thin gold chain.There are six gold chains in total, and one has eight rubies on it. The gems are separated from each other, and they sway back and forth as they walk, which is very beautiful.

In addition to wearing Bu Yao on her head, Mei Xin is also very beautifully dressed today.The upper body is wearing a blue pair of breasts, and the lower body is wearing a sixteen-panel Yuehua skirt, with a white fox cloak over it, and a jade bracelet on the wrist.Upon closer inspection, the emerald jade bracelet was similar to the jade pendant on his waist, Zongzheng Mingzhen involuntarily curled his lips.

I have to say that it was really a coincidence that he was wearing dark blue clothes at this time, and she was also wearing blue clothes.The bracelet on her hand is also very similar to the jade pendant on his waist.And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that one of them is wearing a black cloak and the other is wearing a white cloak. Standing together, it seems that they have negotiated, and they are indescribably harmonious and suitable.

Zongzheng Mingzhen frowned slightly when the word "good match" came to his mind, thinking that he must be too surprised to think so, subconsciously shook his head.

Mei Xin watched him staring at her and shook her head, thinking that she was not wearing it properly, she subconsciously touched the cape she hadn't taken off and said, "Why, is it strange that I'm dressed like this? Actually, I'm not used to it either. of."

This is the truth, especially when I am walking, I feel that it is in the way.

Hearing the sound, Shenzongzheng Mingzhen shook his head again, smiled and said, "No, it's very nice, and the blue color suits you very well!"

Not liking bright colors such as bright red and green, Mei Xin said: "Yeah, I think so too! I don't know what is the purpose of Lord Hou coming here?"

Looking at the woman whom I once hugged and loved fiercely, listening to her indifferent tone, I don't know why Zongzheng Mingzhen feels a little uncomfortable, it feels weird and weird.Just like her attitude just now, all the women were fascinated and salivated when they saw him, but she didn't feel it at all.

Not only did she feel nothing, she didn't pay attention to him at all.He bet that if he left for a while, if he met again tomorrow, maybe she wouldn't even remember who he was.

Obviously, this feeling of being ignored was not good, and it unknowingly aroused his desire to conquer.

"My name is Ziqian. If the eldest princess doesn't mind, please call me Ziqian." Zi Chen, who was standing behind him in shock, almost dropped his jaw. He felt that he must have heard it wrong.No, it should be said that there is something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he have heard his Master Hou say such things to a girl.

　First official meeting!
