Chapter 149 So, what about the fallen red?


    Meng Qianqian thought to herself, I was not ready, and the horse ran away, and I can''t blame me.


    Meng Qianqian looked down at his hand wrapped around her waist.


    Forget it, he must have no meaning, and it makes him look pretentious when he speaks it.


    The shortcuts Lu Yuan took her to take, one of which was an old street near Fangshi, and she would pass there when she returned.


    “Grandmaster.”


    "do what?"


    "Can you go to the market? I want to buy some new books for the old lady."


    There are indeed many scripts in the market, and they are much more exciting than those sold in the study shops outside.


    Lu Yuan nodded casually.


    It seems that Lu Yuan also knows the market, and that place is quite famous.


    Meng Qianqian whispered: "Thank you, Governor."


    Soon, they arrived at the east entrance of the old street, passed through the old street, and the market was at the end.


    Lu Yuan tightened the reins and stopped the horse.


    Meng Qianqian said: "Governor, the market is in front."


    "I know." Lu Yuan said lightly, "Go to eat something first, your stomach is screaming all the way, it''s so noisy."


    Meng Qianqian touched her stomach, and realized that they were busy chasing Zhang Feihu and did not have supper.


    But, is her stomach really rumbled all the way?


    Guru~


    Her stomach screamed again.


    Meng Qianqian was embarrassed.


    The old street is a bustling street, but the green brick floor is a little bumpy, and the carriages are difficult to walk, and the crowds are crowded, making it difficult for horses to pass through.


    Horse boys holding signs can be seen everywhere on the street.


    Several horses rushed forward and surrounded Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian.


    "Young Master, Madam! Do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"


    A horse boy rushed to the front asked.


    “Feed the horse.”


    Lu Yuan said.


    When they heard that they were just feeding a horse, the horse boys left disappointed. Only one of them was still in their place. They looked at the horse''s belly and said to Lu Yuan, "Look at the horse''s ten copper plates, and feed the horse twenty copper plates. You don''t need to feed your horse, you can give ten copper plates."


    Lu Yuan threw him a ingot of silver.


    Ma Tong was stunned: "I, I can''t find it."


    Lu Yuan said: "No need to look for it."


    He took Meng Qianqian off the horse and threw the reins to the horse boy: "Feed it and drink some water."


    Ma Tong was ecstatic: "Yes! Yes! Thank you young master! Thank you madam! Young master! Walk slowly! Madam!"


    Meng Qianqian has been to the market several times, but every time she sits in a carriage and goes straight to her, without stopping on the old street.


    Unexpectedly, the old street, which seemed deserted during the day, was so lively at night.


    Unlike Zhuque Street and Chang''an Street, there are not many new shops on the old street. They are all shops that have been opened for many years, and some have even been passed down for three generations. They look old but have excellent business.


    As the two walked, they met an unexpected person - Lu Xingzhou.


    Meng Qianqian really never thought of meeting her ex-father-in-law here.


    You know, this is the north of the city, very far from the Lu family.


    Lu Xingzhou obviously had the same doubts. He looked at the two people who suddenly walked towards him, and a strong shock flashed in his eyes.


    Lu Yuan stopped, his lips curled up slightly, and a smile that seemed to penetrate the hearts of the people: "Oh, isn''t this Lord Lu? Such a coincidence, you can meet him after walking half of the city. This governor and Lord Lu are really in love."


    Isn’t it a deep fate? But it''s a bad fate.


    Lu Xingzhou bowed and bowed: "I have met the Grand Governor."


    Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Does Lord Lu not know my wife?"


    Lu Xingzhou frowned without any trace.


    How could he not know Meng Qianqian? Even if Meng Qianqian turns into ashes, he knows her!


    However, his daughter-in-law, who was respectful to him in the past, transformed into his wife of his immediate superior, and he failed to fully adapt to the change in his identity.


    He subconsciously did not want to salute his ex-daughter-in-law.


    However, Lu Yuan, a treacherous minister, could not afford to offend him.


    Lu Xingzhou bowed to Meng Qianqian: "I have met the governor''s wife."


    Meng Qianqian nodded in a slight voice, and brought the governor''s wife''s airs to the greatest extent: "You are kind to you, Lord Lu."


    Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said meaningfully: "Ah, the son will marry a bride in a few days. I will go to watch the ceremony with my wife."


    Lu Xingzhou: I didn’t send a post to the Governor’s Office!


    He is not familiar with Lu Yuan, so how dare he issue an invitation to the Governor''s Office? Besides, Lu Yuan clearly showed that he was incompatible with his son. Even if he didn''t know that Lu Yuan''s fiancée was Meng Qianqian at that time, he would not have invited Lu Yuan to attend his son''s wedding banquet.


    Lu Xingzhou said with a tough bullet: "Thank you, the Governor, for your praise. The lower-ranking official will definitely wait for the Governor and Mrs. Zun''s grandfather."


    Lu Yuan smiled even deeper: "I like Lord Lu''s sensibility."


    After saying that, he took Meng Qianqian away.


    Lu Xingzhou maintained a salute posture until the two of them walked away.


    The respect on his face dissipated, and his fists clenched coldly.


    Meng Qianqian thoughtfully said, "Grandmaster, I suspect that Lu Xingzhou appeared near the market because it was related to the Twelve Guards."


    Last time she got the twelve guards in the market. This time, news about the twelve guards may appear again. Lu hangzhou has nothing to do with the twelve guards, but Lin Wan''er has it.


    Lu Yuan smiled and said, "This Lu Xingzhou is much more interesting than his son."


    He laughed again, and when he smiled, he was so beautiful that he was fascinating, but Meng Qianqian knew that this smile was poisonous.


    She moved to the side quietly.


    Lu Yuan''s face darkened and he asked coldly: "What are you doing?"


    Meng Qianqian blinked and moved back to him.


    Well, it’s safer to be cold-faced Lu Yuan.


    Lu Yuan is particular about eating, and if you want to eat, you can eat the most expensive and best restaurants.


    Meng Qianqian pulled his sleeve and pointed to the alley opposite the restaurant: "I want to eat that."


    There is a small stall selling dumplings in the alley.


    Lu Yuan said murderously: "Meng Xiaojiu, do you want me to eat that kind of thing with you?"


    Meng Qianqian: Lu Yuan is not safe either with a cold face.


    A girl about seven years old ran over quickly, raised her head and said with a smile: "Handsome brother, the dumplings made by my parents are delicious!"


    Lu Yuan is not Ji Li, she likes others to praise him for being handsome.


    Sure enough, Meng Qianqian saw that Lu Yuan didn''t even blink.


    The little girl did not give up: "My parents made it called Baifu Dumplings. It can last a hundred years and be happy after eating it!"


    Lu Yuan: "If it''s not delicious..."


    The little girl hurriedly promised, "It''s delicious! It''s delicious!"


    After she finished speaking, she ran back to the stall and set up a stool, "Big brother sit, sister sit!"


    Meng Qianqian said, "Grandmaster, you are the official of the common people''s parents. You can be a favor. It''s not easy for a little girl. She came out to make a living with her parents at the age of seven."


    Lu Yuan snorted coldly and walked over, looking at the little stool that was not much bigger than Baozhu Pig''s exclusive stool, frowned, and felt like a war between heaven and man in his heart, but he had sat down.


    The table was also very short, Meng Qianqian was just right, but Lu Yuan was too tall, with her long legs nowhere to put, and she had a serious face, and she felt a little aggrieved and pitiful.


    Meng Qianqian laughed. Lu Yuan said coldly: "Dare you laugh at me? Meng Xiaojiu, you are tired of living!"


    Meng Qianqian lowered her head: "I dare not."


    She held her laughter tightly, but she really couldn''t hold it in.


    The sorrow of parting dissipated with bursts of laughter, and my mood became much brighter, and even my body seemed to be lighter.


    As it turns out, this dumpling is really... unpalatable.


    Meng Qianqian was like a little quail who did something wrong, waiting for Lu Yuan''s scolding. After all, she insisted on pulling him over to eat. If she had eaten like this, she would be deserving of being scolded.


    Unexpectedly, the governor didn''t say anything until he finished the last glutinous rice ball that was so unpalatable.


    After dinner, the two went to the market.


    Unfortunately, this time Meng Qianqian did not meet the killer with a pigeon blood tattoo on her back.


    It was already midnight when the two returned to the Governor''s Office.


    The old lady and Baoshu are already asleep.


    The old lady is sleepy, Baoshu is tired, and taking care of the old lady is tired.


    Pigs are bitter in their hearts, but pigs don’t say it.


    Madam Li waited for two people in the room, her expression was very serious.


    I originally thought that Lu Yuan was out of the way with the lady on the second day of her wedding, but I never thought that when she went to collect the dollar par, she would encounter something even more outrageous.


    In the bridal chamber of a couple, there should be fallen red on the Yuanpa, but there is no one on the young lady''s Yuanpa.


    The lady is still in perfect form, she is extremely confident about this, so what about Luo Hong?


    She was wondering whether the son-in-law and the lady had not fulfilled their relationship last night. Madam Du and Madam Wan blushed and said hesitantly.


    Either on the table, or on the floor, on the windowsill... I wasn''t on the bed, where did I get the red color on the Yuanpa?


    After hearing this, Madam Li was so embarrassed that she thought of Lu Yuan asking Meng Qianqian to read the spring breeze picture in the book pavilion. Madam Li scolded Lu Yuan hundreds of times in her heart!


    "Miss is still young, please take more moderation."


    As soon as he got home, Lu Yuan took the blame: "..."


    Meng Qianqian slept in the wedding room, and Lu Yuan went to the east wing.


    The two are too young and can''t help but be unable to control themselves after first experience. Madam Li has no objection to this.


    "Miss, hurry up and take a break, and you will enter the palace tomorrow."


    After a afternoon of handing over with Manager Cen, he learned a lot of rules. It turned out that Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan wanted to pay tribute to the empress who entered the palace after their wedding. They didn’t need to marry Lu Lingxiao because Lu Lingxiao’s official position was too low.


    "I understand, nanny."


    On the way back, Lu Yuan mentioned it to her.


    Meng Qianqian took a break immediately after washing up. She slept peacefully and it was dawn when she opened her eyes.


    Banxia picked up the curtain and whispered, "Miss, my son-in-law said you can sleep a little longer."


    Meng Qianqian said, "Has he been here?"


    "My son-in-law went to court and gave him instructions before leaving." Banxia said, "It''s so early for me to come to court."


    The court meeting officially begins at the Mao hour of this dynasty. Officials who live far away must afford it at the Yin hour. Zhuque Street is close to the palace, but it is also a two-quarters of an hour.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yuan almost didn’t sleep much last night and just got up.


    "I''ve had enough sleep, please change my clothes."


    Meng Qianqian is not a concubine of the court, so she doesn''t have to wear exclusive clothing for the concubine. She chose a pomegranate red trouser skirt and a transparent gauze embroidered with gold wire.


    Few people can suppress such a bright and extremely bright color. If you are not careful, you will be snatched away by your clothes, making people only notice the gorgeous clothes.


    However, Meng Qianqian has a nearly perfect face, delicate facial features, as beautiful as peaches and plums. Her gauze dress moves gently with the wind, swaying and radiating, revealing a bit of fairy spirit.


    Everyone in the room was stunned.


    Madam Wan exclaimed repeatedly: "I don''t blame me for being a son-in-law."


    Baoshu also entered the palace today, and she was dressed up beautifully, tied a golden little thigh, and put on the clothes of the little tiger cub that she had not had time to show off last time.


    But this time it was not the little red tiger, but the little golden tiger.


    Meng Qianqian pinched her little face: "Bao Shu is so beautiful."


    Baoshu shook her little head proudly and said to Meng Qianqian: "Nine, too, beautiful."


    The old lady was still sleeping, but Meng Qianqian didn''t disturb her. She held Baoshu and took Tan''er and Banxia to the carriage entering the palace.


    Manager Cen was also in the carriage, and he was sitting outside.


    "Madam, when you enter the palace later, someone will take you to pay tribute to the old lady and the queen. There is no need to go to other palaces. After the Grand Commander comes to court, he will usually go to the Taihe Palace to review memorials. If you feel tired, you can also go to the Taihe Palace with Miss Baoshu to sit first."


    Meng Qianqian nodded: "Okay, I''ve recorded it."


    When we arrived at the palace gate, Meng Qianqian met a young eunuch.


    The little **** saluted Meng Qianqian and the little guy in her arms: "Slave Koizuko, please pay tribute to Mrs. Lu and Miss Baoshu. The Empress has been waiting in Kunning Palace for a long time."


    Manager Cen smiled and said, "He is his own person."


    Meng Qianqian understood that Koizumi was the eyeliner that Lu Yuan''an was stuck in the palace: "I''ve seen you."


    Meng Qianqian entered the palace for the first time and was troubled by Concubine Li. It was Mrs. Wang who invited the queen to come forward in time. At that time, Koizumiko was one of the palace servants who accompanied her.


    Koizumiko smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu has a good memory and is a slave."


    “Pinxia.”


    Meng Qianqian winked at Banxia.


    Banxia took out a purse and handed it to Koizumiko.


    “Not allowed!”


    Koizumiko dared not accept it.


    Manager Cen said, "Don''t you thank your wife for your reward?"


    Koizumiko then collected her purse and said respectfully, "Thank you for your reward, Mrs.!"


    Manager Cen said to Meng Qianqian: "Madam, I''m waiting for you and Miss Baoshu outside."


    Meng Qianqian nodded and followed Koizumi into the palace.


    She and Baoshu went to pay tribute to the old empress dowager first. The old empress dowager was the legitimate mother of the emperor. She ate vegetarianism and chanted Buddha''s name all her life. She was an extremely kind old man. A few years ago, the prince died suddenly. The emperor became depressed and became ill. He abdicated to Zong Zhengxi, and then went to the palace to recuperate.


    He said he was recuperating, but in fact he was under house arrest by Lu Yuan.


    At that time, someone wanted to persuade the old lady to come forward to suppress Lu Yuan, but the old lady moved to the small Buddhist temple in the palace and never took a step out of the Buddhist temple.


    Meng Qianqian met the old lady in the Buddhist temple.


    She was dressed simply, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on her chest, and a half-copied Buddhist scriptures were placed in front of her.


    She is about the same age as the old lady, and is also a long-lived old man.


    Meng Qianqian held Baoshu and asked the old lady for peace.


    The old lady devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha, and everything was empty. She gave Meng Qianqian and Baoshu two copies of Buddhist scriptures she copied, and then asked them to leave.


    Baoshu held the Buddhist scriptures in both hands and ate them for two bites and couldn''t eat them. She didn''t want them anymore.


    She still likes the old lady, and everything she gives her can eat.


    Pinellia put away the Buddhist scriptures.


    Meng Qianqian asked, "Is the Empress Dowager the Emperor''s biological mother?"


    "No." Koizumiko accepted Meng Qianqian''s reward and replied in detail, "The Emperor''s biological mother is a female official in the palace. The female official went there shortly after she gave birth to the child. The Empress Dowager adopted the Emperor to her name and raised her as her own son. However, these are old things, and no one in the palace has mentioned them again. Mrs. Don''t mention it in front of other empresses. The old empress do not like others saying that the Emperor is not his own."


    She just asked casually, but she didn''t expect that she was really not a mother and son.


    "Why didn''t the Supreme Emperor chase his biological mother?"


    "This... I don''t know about it."
