Chapter 64 The Wind Rises

The west neighbor of the Jiang family, the study room of the Meng family's main courtyard was brightly lit. Meng Huizhou, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, sat behind the case, and the second son Meng Xunli and the third son Meng Xunzhen stood at the table. The father and son were all solemn.

"I heard from Master Ma who went to the palace to submit documents today that Princess Leyang stayed in the empress dowager's harem tonight, and the emperor went to have dinner with the empress dowager and Leyang." Although Meng Er, who served as the judge of Dali Temple, had little official position, was very well-informed.

When Meng San heard Le Yang's name, he felt a pain in his back and said anxiously, "Dad, Le Yang has identified Jiang Er. Once Jiang Er becomes the prince consort, we will be in great trouble!"

Meng Huizhou asked, "It is the matter between Jiang Feng and Princess Leyang's mansion, what does it have to do with my Meng family?"

What's wrong with you? What's the matter with you? You're still stubborn! Meng San's heart is in a slight belly, but he doesn't dare to say, "It's because he's in a hurry, I'll lose his composure. Please forgive me."

Meng Erby and San's brother could speak, "Jiang Song's career was blocked, and the Jiang family struggled to become Princess Leyang's son-in-law. For Jiang Feng, it was a step to reach the sky. The Jiang family could not disagree with this marriage."

"That's it!" Meng San echoed. When he thought of Jiang Er's crazy man walking sideways in the capital after becoming the prince-in-law, he went crazy. No, this definitely won't work!

Meng Huizhou slowly turned the teacup on the table, "The Jiang family has kindness to be a father. Even if the Jiang family is now facing the Meng family because of Jiang Mian's death, my Meng family will still be gentlemanly and repay their grievances with virtue. It is not a mistake to make a mistake. Who does the royal family want to recruit as a prince? It is not something we can interfere with. Whether in front of or behind, you must not criticize this matter or show any resentment. Can you write it down?"

"I've written it down." Meng Er and Meng San bent over in unison.

Meng Huizhou waved his hand and asked his third son to retreat, and then asked his second son, "What else did Ma Zhengkunke say?"

Because of his position, Ma Zhengkun, the young minister of Dali Temple, often went to and from the palace and various departments. He was a famous official in the court. All officials in the court liked to make friends with him, and he was often complacent. Most of the news about Meng Er was obtained from him.

Meng Er whispered, "He said that two more imperial doctors were scolded by the emperor, and there was no one around him."

Meng Huizhou also got the news. The empress dowager was lingering in her sick bed for several months but did not improve. The holy heart was worried and the imperial doctor was reprimanded. Princess Leyang wanted to settle her marriage with Jiang Feng before the empress dowager passed away. With Princess Leyang's temperament, the princess's mansion is probably preparing for the things needed for the wedding now!

Princess Leyang likes male sex. If Jiang Feng is favored, the Meng family will be in danger. Although Meng Huizhou scolded his son, he was worried that he had not slept all night. The next day he went to court with a worried look, and his eyes were all black.

During the scattering court, Meng Huizhou deliberately walked a few steps later and slowly followed the right prime minister Qin Tianye. After saying something to the Duke of Huguo, Qin Tianye turned around and saw the haggard Meng Huizhou. He smiled gently, "Even if there are too many things in the yamen, Lord Meng should take care of his health."

Meng Huizhou took two steps forward and replied respectfully and politely, "I heard that the Empress Dowager Feng was in a state of peace. She did not see any good prescriptions when she read through medical books last night. I was really ashamed."

"If you know that Lord Meng is so thoughtful, the emperor should be moved." Qin Tianye's storm was not revealed, "The Empress Dowager will recover soon after he has been taken care of by the emperor and Princess Leyang day and night."

"You're saying it." Meng Huizhou hesitated for a moment, but finally took into account the occasion and did not dare to ask more questions.

Qin Tianye chatted with him while walking, "Mr. Meng also lives in Shifeng Lane, Huijiafang, right?"

"That's right." Meng Huizhou was excited and felt that the persimmon he sent to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion two months ago had played a role. The Right Prime Minister recorded where he lived. It was a great joy to let the Prime Minister remember him!

Qin Tianye asked slowly, "I heard that Jiang Feng, the second son of the Jiang family in Shifengxiang, brought a son back?"

Could it be that the black boy has any background? Meng Huizhou's heart was thrilled, "According to the Jiang family, the child was born with the same fertility as Jiang Feng's eldest daughter, but he has been raised in the countryside because of his weakness. Now he is getting better, he has been brought back to recognize his ancestors."

"In this way, this is a happy event." Qin Tianye smiled.

Meng Huizhou quickly agreed a few words and changed the subject, "Although the child is nine years old, he has not read many books and is not very polite. He still needs a good education to become a talent."

Qin Tianye smiled, "I grew up in the countryside, and I can't help but neglect this. Since my health is already good, I believe that under the guidance of his father, I will be able to change my face soon, which is impressive."

"What the Prime Minister said is very much." Meng Huizhou's smile could not hide his sarcasm. Jiang Feng had no talent and virtue. Under his guidance, that black boy must be a useless talent! But why did Lord Zuo mention him?

"However, Jiang Feng is afraid that he will not be able to raise himself for a few days." After Qin Tianye said that, he walked slowly into Qingwen Hall with his official steps.

Meng Huizhou stood at the stairs after being poured with cold water until someone approached and returned to his senses. He pretended to be nothing, and quickly returned to the Ministry of Justice. After the fire was renovated, the Ministry of Justice was the latest in the six departments, but Meng Huizhou sat in front of the bright case and felt that everything was dark in front of him.

Jiang Feng, are you really going to become the prince consort of Leyang? The Jiang family is really going to turn over? If the Jiang family turns over... Meng Huizhou clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. So what if the Jiang family turns over? Just rely on the timid and fearless Jiang Song and the useless Jiang Feng, what can they fight him!

Is it a man's sex?

Preparing for the future, Meng Huizhou wrote a letter with a brush and sent someone to quickly send it to his eldest son Meng Xunyi, asking him to quickly collect young and beautiful men in the county under his jurisdiction and secretly send them to Beijing.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Princess Leyang wanted to recruit Jiang Feng, the most beautiful man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as her son-in-law, quickly blew all over the corners of Kang'an City, causing a lot of discussion.

The insider mocked Meng San for shooting himself in the foot. If he hadn't jumped up and down and instigated Princess Leyang to occupy Mr. Jiang Er, Princess Leyang would not have been sincere after seeing Mr. Jiang Er and called him as the prince consort.

Meng San, who was recuperating at home, really wished he could pierce his head into the moat and die.

Everyone is waiting now. Waiting for the matchmaker to visit the Jiang family, wait for the imperial edict, wait for the Second Master Jiang to enter the Prince's Mansion, and wait for him to clean up the tigress of Leyang with his beauty.

The Jiang family, which is highly anticipated, is still quiet and cold. None of the servants in the mansion dares to smile, but they all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the hard days of the Jiang family are coming to an end, as long as the second master is willing to marry Princess Leyang.

Even if Leyang is unbearable, she is still the princess, the empress dowager's biological daughter, and the prince's sister. If she marry her, she will become a royal relative and an existence that no one dares to mess with in Kang'an City.

Jiang Huai was still busy in the newly built meat sauce workshop. No matter who asked him what Mr. Jiang thought, he didn't say a word; Jiang Song locked himself in the study room and never came out all day long; Mrs. Jiang knelt in front of the Buddha statue, closed her eyes and recited the scriptures for a day.

Mr. Jiang was lying on the bed and drank wine for a day.
