From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 698 The cruel reality

Mei Xin took it in her hand and looked at it, feeling that this is not a good place to read the letter, so she didn't open it.Sanniang stepped forward to spread out the whole bundle, and seeing that there was nothing inside except a handkerchief and a brocade box, she couldn't help saying strangely: "What's the meaning of this, the one who mobilizes the people asks someone to send things, give Fang an old handkerchief What does son mean?"

The most important thing is that it is not a handkerchief for women, but a square handkerchief commonly used by men, with the word "Zhen" embroidered on it, and it looks like Zongzheng Mingzhen's worn-out stuff.

Wen Yan stepped forward to check Mei Xin was also very curious, first opened the veil and looked at it, then opened the brocade box and said: "What is this, what is in it?"

Before she finished speaking, she smelled a familiar smell, and if she guessed right, it should be his smell.

"A box of incense, for smoking clothes?" Sanniang blurted out, her eyes were full of uncertainty, because it was the first time she had seen someone give a small box of incense as a gift so far, and she felt inexplicable.

Mei Xin said nothing, but she probably understood what Zongzheng Mingzhen meant.After closing the box and putting away the old handkerchief, she said with a blank expression: "Let's go, go back first, my father will be worried after being out for a long time, and he will come to find me."

It is said that going to the hot spring village to recuperate is actually to avoid the undercurrent in Beijing, and also to let the emperor relax his vigilance and not be so nervous.Therefore, the two of them, father and daughter, have had a hard time these few days.When I have free time, I will go to the fields, let alone go to the vegetable shed to have a look. When I am interested, I will go fishing together.

Every time, she couldn't sit still first, and she always felt uncomfortable when she had a big belly, so that she never caught as many fish as her father.When she was a child, her favorite thing to do was to fly a kite with her father. When she grew up, she would have no free time. Her father was busy and she was also busy. After thinking about it, the two of them hadn't flown a kite together for many years.Wanting to relive the joy of childhood, my father personally tied a kite yesterday and said that he would take her to fly the kite on the ridge of the field today.

Put away all the things according to the words, and Sanniang helped her into the carriage, after which Yunying drove back the same way.There were not many people in the light car, but fortunately there were hidden guards following them, so nothing happened along the way.

As she expected, her father had already come to look for her, to see if she was not sitting on the couch and waiting.Not wanting him to know what happened today, she told Sanniang not to take things in.

"Father, why did you come here so early? Why don't you sleep more when you have free time?" She only ate a few yuan of snacks when she went out, and now she was hungry, so Mei Xin started to eat after she sat down.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and put down the book in his hand. Mei Zhannan stared intently at the voracious daughter for a long time and said, "See you?"

Heart tightened and almost choked, Mei Xin quickly drank two sips of water and put down the plate in her hand, and said, "You...how did you know, who told you? Luoqiu..."

Luo Qiu waved his hand, saluted, and immediately said: "No, this servant didn't say anything."

Sighing silently, Mei Zhannan picked up the teacup and said, "No one told me, I guessed it myself. But... girl, you..."

Hesitating to speak, he put back the tea lid he had just picked up heavily.

Conflicting in his heart and feeling that they are not suitable, he still prefers An Qizheng to Zongzheng Mingzhen.Therefore, I don't know what to say when I think about it.

Mei Xin knew what he was worried about, so she immediately explained: "I just went to have a look, there is no other purpose, please don't get me wrong, let alone think about it."

Feeling guilty, he lowered his head and continued eating after speaking.

He knew his daughter Mei Zhannan well who grew up by his side, and knew that she had a different heart, so he couldn't help but sighed and said, "Dad has grown old in the past two years, but he hasn't aged to the point of being confused. Son Ah, you are not on the same road, you should stay away from him. You may not know it when you go out early in the morning, but your aunt sent a message saying that the queen has secretly contacted the ministers of the court and China to prepare to abolish the crown prince. "

Ever since Zongzheng Wanyin entered the palace, she has never fought or snatched, and has kept to her duty, and she has never shown any enthusiasm for the throne.Doing so suddenly must have something to do with Zongzheng Mingzhen, and when the prince is abolished, according to the establishment of the lineage and the head, only her son, the seventh prince, will be left.

It's human nature, but at this moment, he had to doubt Zongzheng Mingzhen's intentions.Therefore, he was worried when he learned that she was going out.The daughter who grew up beside him is very affectionate, because she is also a little sensitive due to the lack of maternal love, especially after pregnancy, he is very worried, and he is very worried.

Mei Xin was not stupid and quickly understood what Mei Zhannan meant. She didn't want him to worry, let alone think too much, she said against her will: "I really just went to see, I didn't see him, if you don't believe me, you can ask three Niang and Yunying."

It had been many years since she had seen her daughter nervous, Mei Zhannan put down the teacup in his hand and stood up suddenly.Looking straight at her, he pondered for a moment and said: "Dad will never doubt you in this life, but I will believe everything you say. It's just that I want to remind you that the Meicheng and Cheng families are not at odds. Since we have made a choice Then we have to go to the end. It is true that the queen’s surname is Zongzheng, but she is the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. The seventh prince’s surname is Cheng, and Zongzheng Mingzhen is his uncle. If one day you two stand on opposite sides with different positions, what do you think? Have you done it? Have you done it?"

It's fine if you don't rebel all your life, they will loyally assist whoever becomes the emperor.But now it's different, the Mei family wants the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the queen also wants it. As her own brother, Zongzheng Mingzhen naturally helps her.So, what should she do if one day the two armies confront each other and meet each other on a narrow road?
With a shock in her heart, she suddenly raised her head and Mei Xin was stunned, she was stunned who had never thought about this question before.Are you done?

There is no doubt about the answer, it can't be done, but the positions are different, whether it is friend or enemy, how should she deal with her when they meet on the battlefield?
"Originally, when you have someone you like, dad should be happy for you, support you, and fulfill you, but now I really have to remind you in this situation. My child, it is better to cut the mess quickly than to get stuck in the mud, and it is better to have long-term pain." Short-term pain, good for you and him." Love is a double-edged sword that hurts others and hurts yourself, so take it easy at the beginning, and it doesn't matter if you encounter it in the future.

Mei Xin didn't speak, but she stood up in a daze.Feeling that she was wrong, she said in a daze, "Father, I'm sorry, my daughter knew she was wrong, she shouldn't have lied to you."

She is upright by nature and will not lie, but when she lies, she will feel nervous and guilty, and dare not look at others.

Knowing why she denied it, Mei Zhannan said with some distress: "Father knows that it is difficult to forget someone, but I don't want to see you sad, disappointed or even in pain in the future. Xin'er, you are still young, and there are many good men in the world What’s more, you will definitely meet someone better than him in the future.”

With moist eyes, Mei Xin lowered her head again, nodded lightly and said, "Yes, my daughter understands."

Really couldn't bear to see her like this, Mei Zhannan said with emotion: "Nine times out of ten, people don't like things in life, and they are all normal. Dad got up early today and is a little tired, let's go out to fly a kite tomorrow. "

Sighing and shaking his head, he left, Luo Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young General, don't feel bad, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted, Mei Xin raised her head and smiled uglier than crying and said: "I'm hungry, I got up too early in the morning and I'm sleepy, go to the kitchen and get me something to eat, eat I'll get some sleep after that."
