From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 448

Huangjue Temple is a royal temple with a lot of incense. In addition, Master Jingkong is well-known as an eminent monk. The opening of the forum today can be said to be a grand event, and it is held only once in three years, which is really rare.Therefore, almost all the female family members of the official family who believed in Buddhism in the capital went out in full force.

Along the way, there was a steady stream of traffic, and from time to time, people could meet the carriages of acquaintances, and people stopped the carriages to say hello to Mei Xin.

Mei Xin's impatience also slowed down her speed. After thinking about it, she ordered Nanny Song to go out to entertain the people who came to say hello.

Not to mention, she is quite cunning, she dismissed the people who came to say hello in a few words, not to mention offending others, and all of them returned with smiling faces as if they really had a conversation with Mei Xin, became friends with her, and had a relationship with Prince Liang's mansion. friendship.

There was Nanny Song hovering outside, resisting, Mei Xin hid in the carriage to keep her clean.Originally thinking that there was still half an hour's journey away, he would simply sleep for a while, but before he lay down, Cardamom said that the eldest aunt of Duke Lu's mansion had come.

Originally, they were supposed to meet at the gate of the city, but when she arrived, the carriage of Duke Lu's mansion had already left.Without thinking too much, she guessed that there was something wrong, so she set off with Zongzheng Mingzhen and the others.

She didn't expect to meet her here. Mei Xin hurriedly raised the curtain of the carriage, then jumped off the carriage and saluted, calling out: "Auntie!"

"Well, Xin'er!" Smiling, Mrs. Xu walked in front of her, took her hand and whispered into her ear, "Your grandma is here, I want to see you, come with me."

Elderly people seldom go out, especially the wife of Duke Lu, who has been pampered and pampered for a lifetime, and will not move easily.Therefore, Mei Xin was taken aback when she heard it.

Thinking that something happened, she blurted out: "Grandma, why is her old man here?"

Guessing that she would definitely be surprised, Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "Since you entered Beijing, your grandmother has been saying that she wants to see you, but the weather is bad and snowing, and your grandmother is not comfortable, so it is difficult to go out. I said that when I got home that day." Because of your brother's marriage, her old man was worried and insisted on coming to see you, so she can see the girls from other families along the way."

Originally, Mei Xin, a junior, should come to visit her, but it is really inconvenient for her to visit because of her filial piety.Therefore, Duke Lu's old lady couldn't wait any longer, and came out with the eldest daughter-in-law today.

Mei Xin thought something was wrong, but she wanted to help her grandson choose a wife.Smiling lightly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "It's time to see, I'm still waiting for my grandma to make decisions for my elder brother."

After speaking, Mei Xin followed her and left.

Cardamom followed closely behind, and Yunying was worried and led others to follow.However, there are not many people, only five or six.

The carriage of Zongzhenghou's mansion followed them all the time, seeing that Mei Xin followed Xu Shi, and there was only a carriage of Lu Guogong's mansion parked beside the road, Zongzheng Mingzhen frowned slightly.Feeling bad, but couldn't explain clearly, he thought for a while and told Zichen, "You escort the old lady and the ninth princess to continue to Huangjue Temple, and I'll go and see what's going on."

It's not peaceful recently, especially since King Huai of Chu is still locked up in the prison, and he's outside the city right now, it's better to be careful.

Zi Chen wanted to say that he would bring someone over to have a look, but no one thought that Zong Zheng Ming Zhen rode away without opening his mouth.Immediately speechless, seeing the Mei family's motorcade continue to move forward, he could only continue to follow.

After a while, Mei Xin followed Mrs. Xu into the carriage of Duke Lu's mansion, she was a little surprised to see that there was no one in the carriage, she opened her mouth and asked, "Didn't you say that grandma is in the carriage, where is she?"

Sitting cross-legged and lowering the curtain of the carriage, Xu replied calmly, "It's in front, it's windy here, stop the car in front, let's go!"

The carriage started moving before the sound fell, and the driver raised the whip in his hand, and the two horses pulling the carriage started to run.

Mei Xin almost fell down because she was caught off guard and did not expect the carriage to run so fast. Xu shi quickly supported her and asked, "Are you all right, Lu Zi? How are you driving? Slow down."

Looking away and smiling slightly, Xu explained: "The new coachman has not walked the mountain road and is a little unstable. You should lean on the quilt so that you don't fall."

Pulling the folded quilt and stuffing it directly under her armpit, Xu Shifu sat down again, and said lightly: "There are a lot of people going to the Huangjue Temple to offer incense today. It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant. A place with a lot of people Don't be crowded. In the first three months, children are the most precious, and accidents will happen if you are not careful, let Doukou and the others follow closely."

Nodding without saying a word to indicate that she understood, Mei Xin looked around and looked at the decorations in the carriage.Noticing that the carriage was small but well-equipped, she asked inadvertently: "I heard that my cousin is pregnant. I wonder if she came out today?"

I heard from Lu Qingchuan a few days ago, but my eldest cousin already has two children under his knees, and this is the third one.

Speaking of her daughter-in-law Xu's face changing, she seemed a little displeased, she said: "She wanted to come, but the pregnancy was still unstable, so I didn't let her come out. You don't know, you big cousin She is very playful, she is pregnant with her third child and knows how to play all day long. I am not afraid that you will make fun of me. I will worry about how she will live after a hundred years between me and your uncle. Even a concubine can’t hold back and I still count on her to manage it. In the inner house, it's not bad if you don't get ridden on your head by a concubine."

Different men from the Lu family and the Mei family can take concubines, and it is precisely because of such an eldest son's backyard that there is chaos.Now that she is suppressing him, nothing will happen. If she dies, she is really afraid that her eldest son's backyard will catch fire.

Mei Xin saw that her face was full of worry and was very worried, it didn't look like she made it on purpose, and she was relieved.Guessing that she was too nervous and overthinking, she said, "Don't think too much about children and grandchildren who have their own children and grandchildren."

Xu smiled, sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Your uncle said the same thing, but isn't that what parents are like. Raising a child who is a hundred years old is always worrying about 99 years old, and he will not stop until the moment he closes his eyes." Will stop worrying. You don't understand now, you will know when the baby is born."

Before the words fell off the carriage, there was a rush of whistles, which were very sharp and urgent.

As soon as Mei Xin heard the alarm bell, knowing that it was a warning from the hidden guards, she immediately took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve.Holding it tightly, she looked at Xu shi intently and said, "I don't know where grandma's carriage is parked, is it almost there?"

Her sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and Xu Shi became inexplicably nervous when she stared at her.

Not daring to meet Mei Xin's gaze, she turned her head to look out the window and said, "Hurry up, we'll be there soon."

Originally, when she got into the car and didn't see her grandmother Mei Xin, she felt suspicious, and the driver's recklessness made her even more suspicious. Now seeing Xu's whole body trembling, she knew that she had been tricked.
