From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 659 Styrax

Looking directly at her with a slight smile, Hua Furong nodded and admitted directly without being humble or overbearing: "My daughter is stupid and misbelieved the rumors, so I ask the eldest princess to forgive me."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and prepared to salute, but Mei Xin stopped her.

Waving her hand to signal that she doesn't need to be polite, Mei Xin leaned back on the soft pillow and said lightly: "I don't blame you, I was born in Prince Liang's Mansion and entered the military camp at a young age. It's normal for outsiders to think of me like this after fighting in the battlefield all these years. Yesterday I want to apologize to you for the matter, I was originally inviting you to talk about it, but I thought something happened suddenly, and I am really sorry for causing you to be stranded in the temple."

Reaching out to take the red plum painted gold box from Luo Qiu, Mei Xin opened it and handed it to her, saying: "This is a meeting gift I prepared for you, I hope you like it, and I hope you can forgive me for missing the appointment yesterday."

Her mother died young, and it is said that it was her aunt who accompanied her up the mountain yesterday.But it seems that I left at noon yesterday because of something at home.Originally, she was supposed to go down the mountain as a girl, but she didn't go out of worry.Not only did she not leave, she also heard from Sanniang that she had been waiting outside the door, waiting for news of her safety.

For the honest and kind girl Mei Xin has always liked, and Mei Guangjian also likes her, the two are likely to get married in the future, she specially prepared her favorite Su Hexiang to express her sincerity and apology.

As soon as the box was opened, there was a familiar smell, and Hua Furong was delighted.However, she did not immediately reach out to pick it up, but said in surprise, "Su Hexiang? This, this is too precious. I can't take it, I can't take it, please take it back, the Eldest Princess."

Styrax has the effect of warding off filth and repelling phlegm, and the smell lingers for several days, but if it is even a little bit, there will be a lingering fragrance as long as the clothes are not washed.The girls in the capital all love fragrance, but the ones sold outside are not genuine, and the fragrance is not right, not to mention the smell.Therefore, as soon as she smelled the incense, she knew that it was something from the palace, it was not available in the market, and it would cost at least a hundred gold to make this box of incense, which is too expensive.

Mei Xin was very happy to see that she was neither humble nor overbearing, she closed the red plum painted gold box and said lightly: "To tell you the truth, this is a gift from the palace, but I don't like fragrance at all, it's better to give it to Luochen if I keep it." People who like it. I heard that you love Su Hexiang very much, so I specially found it from the warehouse and gave it to you, so please accept it, and it is not in vain for Yunluo and the others to find it in the middle of the night."

Hearing this, Yunluo went up to take it and brought it to her, and said with a slight smile: "I hope that the princess will not refuse because of her whole heart."

It would be ignorant of flattery to decline after talking about it.

Hua Furong, who had been in charge of the family for a long time, understood that she had done a good job in human relations and sophistication, and she immediately took it with both hands and thanked her repeatedly.

Mei Xin is very satisfied with her decent performance, seeing that she is not like many official ladies who are weak and weak, the more she looks at her, the happier she is.Mei Guangjian was not very assertive because of her mother's strong temper, so it was appropriate for her to be the two directors of the family at a young age.

He motioned for her to sit down and talk. Luoqiu brought refreshments, and learned that she likes to eat pasta. Mei Xin invited her to come over to play.Hua Furong's first impression of Mei Guangjian was very good, thinking that it would be good to know more about Mei Guangjian, she immediately agreed.The two chatted happily, and when Mrs. Lu Xu arrived, she got up and said goodbye.

Mei Xin was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to go down the mountain as a girl, so she immediately called Mei Guangjian and escorted her home.

Lu Xu saw that although her complexion was not good, she was much stronger than yesterday, and she had the energy to speak, so she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's really a Bodhisattva who blessed Amitabha, but yesterday I was frightened. Fortunately, You and the child are fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain to your grandparents when I go back."

As the year is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the old lady at home has been staying at home.The most important thing is that she has been in poor health recently and has been coughing all the time. If she hears the news of Mei Xin's miscarriage, regardless of whether it is true or not, she will definitely die of anxiety.

Mei Xin felt guilty and sorry for not being able to tell the truth, but there was nothing she could do.Prince Ping was still alive and hadn't been caught yet, so Qiu Yuwei troubled her again and again. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she might be even more pestering in the future.She has important things to do and has no time to argue with her, so she has to teach her a lesson and let her stop for a while.

It will be a matter of time before the crown prince is abolished, and even if she doesn't do anything, Ping Wang will not sit still.Therefore, the day when the East Palace changed hands was the time when her catastrophe was imminent.

Feeling ashamed, Mei Xin took the initiative to hold Lu Xu's hand, and said very apologetically, "It's all because I didn't want to make my aunt worry. I heard from my elder cousin that my grandmother has been unwell recently and has been coughing. , let him go with you in a while. There are many things at home and the capital is not peaceful, so I will send someone to escort you back."

Words are scary, Qiu Yuwei is busy pretending to be pitiful now, it is impossible to come to her troubles when she is free, she is a little worried that the temple is not safe.Therefore, it is better to let them go first, so as not to get in the way when they really fight.

Mrs. Lu Xu wanted to leave very much, but right now she has no one to take care of her. Mrs. Lin will come later, who will take care of her when she leaves?

She shook her head lightly to express that she would not leave. Mei Xin knew what she wanted and said again: "Every household is very busy at the end of the year. Doctor Zhou said that there is nothing serious about me and I just need to rest here for half a month. By my side Don't worry about having so many people taking care of you, besides, you are worried about me and my grandmother, so go back as soon as possible."

An Qizheng came in before the words were finished, first saluted Mrs. Lu Xu, and then said: "The medicine is ready, drink it as soon as it is warmed up. I will go to Duke Lu's mansion to see a doctor for the old lady, and I will be back in the afternoon. Do you have anything to eat and I'll bring it up."

The vegetarian food in the temple tastes good. Mei Xin has nothing to eat, Luo Qiu said: "The ebony plums in Mingji's shop are almost gone. Please, please bring me a pack."

It is a shop opened by the Zongzheng Houfu that specializes in selling dried fruit snacks. Mei Xin likes to eat them very much recently, and basically eats a dozen of them every day.

Habits are a very terrible thing. I don't want to have any involvement or relationship with Zongzheng Mingzhen, and I don't want to eat anything Mingji. Mei Xin opened her mouth and refused: "No, didn't I bring my godmother yesterday Pickled plums, let’s eat that. It’s getting late, auntie, go back quickly, please tell grandma to see her when I go down the mountain, and let her take care of herself. And grandpa, elder brother has already set off for Beijing. I will definitely be home half a month later. My eldest brother not only brought him his favorite wine, but also my daughter Hong, which my father has hidden for 18 years, and told him to take care of himself, otherwise he won’t be able to drink.”

When Lu Xu heard about her and Zongzheng Mingzhen, she thought it was just the man's wishful thinking, but thinking of this silly child, she was also moved.Doomed to be fruitless, she sighed deeply and said, "Alright, then I'll go back first."

　When I was young, I didn't feel much pain when I fell down. When I fell, it hurt so much that I didn't get up for more than ten minutes.The most important thing is that my leg is swollen like a mallet, and I am useless.
