Mrs. Hou and others took a look at the dishes on the table. This banquet was comparable to an imperial banquet. Seeing that the dishes were still being served, it was even worse.
"Mrs. Hou, please." Mrs. Meng invited the three female family members to sit down at the table. The three women did not hesitate and sat down in order of age. Mrs. Meng was right next to Mrs. Hou. The two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about and refused to leave even when they were in love.
Clap the other person's hand.
"Young lady, please sit down, don't stand still." Mrs. Hou said with a smile.
Xu Ruoshui hurriedly squatted down and said, "I don't dare."
She is a person who knows etiquette. Unless others tell her, they really don't know that she is a bought maid, and they think she is an inconspicuous housekeeper. From the looks of it, Mrs. Meng's training is excellent, Mrs. Hou cursed.
"Late Qiu, since Mrs. Hou asked you to sit down, just sit down and let Ying'er wait on you." Mrs. Meng said.
In this case, Xu Ruoshui thanked her and sat down at the bottom of the table. Although Fang Liying felt a little uncomfortable, she was already better than the deflated Wang Mengjiao. This gave her more capital to show off.
Compared to the men's banquet, which was a feast of wine and wine, the table of the women's family was relatively more elegant. Mrs. Shizi was only curious about Lincheng's dishes, asking from time to time how to make this and how to cook that. It seemed that this dish suited her very well.
appetite.
Xu Ruoshui secretly observed the princess. Every dish that passed through her bowl would be pricked by the maid with a silver needle. This level of care and meticulousness was rare, and she looked a bit aloof. Who would murder someone in her mansion?
A princess, if there really is such a person, must be tired of living. After a few chopsticks, the princess put down her chopsticks with a languid look on her face, and she didn't know how to taste the food.
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Hou saw that her daughter's expression was a bit wrong.
The princess raised her lips slightly and said, "Mom, I'm fine, I just feel a little bored."
"Let me have someone fan you," Mrs. Hou suggested.
"Mom, you'd better stay with the madam. My daughter will be fine in a while." Obviously the princess did not accept this proposal.
"It's really boring just like that," Mrs. Meng is the hostess, so she naturally has to find a way to adjust the atmosphere. It turns out that the stuffiness in the princess's mouth is not due to the hot weather, but also because she feels too bored. Then Xu Ruoshui heard Mrs. Meng's loud voice
He said, "Why don't we give the drinking order?"
When the princess heard this, she realized that although Mrs. Meng's idea was not a good one, it had at least aroused everyone's thoughts, "I...I don't know how to order drinks."
"Madam, please don't be surprised," Mrs. Shizi explained, "my sister-in-law spends all day embroidering and painting in her boudoir, but she doesn't know about this drinking party. If she is reciting couplets or reciting poems, she must be a hero among women.
.”
"Sister-in-law~~~" The princess blushed and glanced at the Crown Prince's wife.
"What's wrong? It's just a couple," Mrs. Meng also had confidence in her son's literary talents, so she said, "Why don't we let Tianqi and the others participate? Wouldn't it be more lively?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Meng said that this was a great idea and asked the female family members to come up with the questions first.
The person who asked the question was naturally the princess. She thought for a moment but said nothing. Mrs. Shizi smoothed things over with a smile and said, "Yun'er is timid now. Normally we see that those top picks and second place picks don't admit defeat at all.
"
"Then I have a question," the princess's voice was as thin as a mosquito's fly, and even Xu Ruoshui at the table almost couldn't understand it.
"This child doesn't look like this usually. I don't know what's going on. He can't let go." Mrs. Hou only had affection in her eyes.
"My first couplet is 'two, three, four, five'. Please correct the second couplet and explain it." The princess finally opened her mouth, but she looked very nervous.
This question had already been exposed by Meng Tianbo at the last banquet to welcome Yu Wenjun. Everyone in the Meng family present knew it, and Xu Ruoshui still remembered that whoever could answer this question could become the Marquis's son-in-law.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel worried, but then she thought about it, if Meng Tianbo could become the son-in-law of the Marquis, wouldn't he be more helpful and find out her injuries faster?
Although Xu Ruoshui thought so, others did not give this opportunity to Meng Tianbo. Through the screen, he saw Meng Tianqi slowly stood up, turned around and raised his fists and said, "The young man has the courage to show off his ugly face."
When the princess heard that it was Meng Tianqi, her face turned even redder. "You can say whatever you want, Second Young Master," but she didn't know where to place her hands. In the end, the Crown Prince's wife stretched out her hand to hold hers.
Hearing the couple's answers, the people who were surprised were Mr. Meng and Xu Ruoshui. It was impossible for the two of them to dismantle Meng Tianqi. Meng Tianbo was eating and drinking as if it was none of his business.
Xu Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time thought about Meng Tianqi's purpose.
When the princess heard this answer, she was stunned as if she were a demon. She opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked, "What's the explanation?"
How could Meng Tianqi not know this answer? When Meng Tianbo told him the answer, he was so shameless. Even if he died, it would be engraved in his mind. He never thought that he would use it today. When he saw the true appearance of this princess, a
The plan was slowly brewing in his mind, and he said slowly and unhurriedly, "Two, three, four, and five are missing one, and six, seven, eight, and nine are missing ten. Together they are 'lack of food and clothing'. I wonder if the young man said this, is it right?"
?”
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Three heavy claps came from the other end of the screen, "My nephew's literary talent is indeed extraordinary, good, very good." The Marquis has been an official all his life, and he is used to cherishing talents and cherishing talents.
, I was even more excited when I saw someone could solve such a difficult pair.
In this way, Meng Tianbo's answer is correct.
Then the Marquis said, "It's a pity. When my daughter came up with this pair, she made a promise that she would marry whoever can solve the pair. It's such a pity." There was regret in his tone.
Xu Ruoshui trembled when he heard this. Meng Tianqi's intention was to marry the princess. Others didn't know that Xu Ruoshui was dead, but Mrs. Meng always found a way for her son.
"Dad, please stop talking," the princess' joy suddenly fell to the bottom. She had forgotten that this man already had a wife, but his whereabouts were unknown.
"Mom, my daughter is not feeling well and wants to take a rest."
Mrs. Meng was in a state of joy, and because she still had something to say to Mrs. Hou, she told Xu Ruoshui, "In late autumn, you accompany the princess to the Yage Villa to have a rest."
Although Xu Ruoshui wanted to know what the two ladies said, she had to follow Mrs. Meng's instructions.
"I'm going too, I'm going too," Meng Tianbo's hands were stained with oil, he broke through the screen and stood behind Xu Ruoshui, "Mom, I'm full."
Mrs. Meng wished that Meng Tianbo would disappear, because she was afraid that if he suddenly said that she was the one who faced him first, wouldn't that mean that her son would lose face?
