Chapter 49 The first step

The low-key and restrained carriage left from the side entrance of Earl Xianchang's Mansion, and stopped at the door of a very ordinary small house after traveling for only a cup of tea.

Baozhen jumped out of the carriage first and went to knock on the door. After a few rings, footsteps came from inside the door, and the black lacquered wooden door opened from the inside.

She is a little maid dressed simply.

Tang Xi looked back through her and noticed the woman standing behind the maid. She was wearing a gentle and elegant lilac dress. She was dignified and had a light smile on her face. She was as gentle as water, but not very beautiful.

Her gorgeous appearance makes people forget about vulgarity.

It was Meng Alan.

After leaving Zuihua Tower that day, Tang Xi sent someone to pick her up here the next day so that she could teach.

She already had some foundation, but now that more than half a month has passed, she has changed even better than Tang Xi imagined.

"Who is the girl?" Meng Alan looked at the beautiful girl in front of her. She was so amazed that she suddenly felt that she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't remember when she had seen her.

"I am the third young lady of the Earl of Xianchang's Mansion. As agreed, I will take you to the Earl of Xianchang's Mansion in half a month." Tang Xi gave up his position and made a greeting, "Miss Meng, please."

Meng Alan didn't realize it for a moment. The third lady of the Earl of Xianchang's Palace? Wasn't the person she was dealing with a young master at that time?

Meng Alan didn't dare to get into the car easily, and asked cautiously: "May I ask, Miss, what is the relationship between that young man and you that day?"

Tang Xi smiled, "I am that young master."

Meng Alan looked at her beautiful face and calm posture, and felt a turmoil in her heart.

In the past half month, she focused on getting to know the Xianchang family. She knew that Tang Xi, the third daughter of the Earl of Xianchang Palace, had been frail and frail since she was a child. She had been recuperating in her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. It was only a year ago that she got better and returned to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, he was also watered with decoction every day.

And the young master who negotiated the deal with her that day was a Class A killer in Yongye Pavilion, and he fought with General Ning Yuan back and forth without losing any of them.

She couldn't believe that these two people, with completely different ways of living, were actually the same person.

Tang Xi waited quietly for her to accept all this, "Is Miss Meng ready?"

Meng Alan nodded, but she was still a little nervous. Her life was about to reach a turning point, and she only had this chance. She would definitely seize it, and solemnly said: "Ready."

The carriage set off and returned to the Earl of Xianchang Mansion.

Tang Xi had already written a letter explaining all the procedures to her before. Meng Alan would read it over and over again every day and understood it clearly. At this time, there was nothing that needed additional instructions in the carriage.

The carriage entered Earl Xianchang's Mansion smoothly from the side door.

Tang Xi led her to walk slowly towards Xiyu Pavilion, taking a detour through the mirror.

While walking, introduce in a soft voice.

Meng Alan followed behind her, looking at the dreamlike scenery around her. Even though she had imagined it countless times in her mind, she still could not outline the beautiful scenery in front of her.

It's so beautiful.

Pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, and palaces line up in rows. The colorful glazed tiles are like a fairyland on earth. The strange grass, fairy vines, and green vines are so lovely.

It turns out that this is the Earl of Xianchang's Mansion, the richest Earl's Mansion in Dayu, so majestic and luxurious.

Now she was dazzled by just one glance, and at the same time, she became more determined to stay here.

Tang Xi was very satisfied with her reaction and had the desire to complete the tasks she asked better.

Noisy footsteps came from far and near. Tang Xi's hearing was very good. Words such as "congratulations", "good luck", "married to the right person" broke into her ears. Her eyes darkened slightly, and she looked at the person who was still there.

Meng Alan looked around and said, "The countess is here."

Meng Alan was slightly panicked, but after being prepared for so long, she quickly got into the mood, put on a gentle and virtuous smile, and walked side by side with Tang Xi in an elegant manner.

The two of them chatted, stopping from time to time to admire the flowers blooming by the roadside. Outsiders looked at each other and smiled happily, getting along well with each other.

After a long time, the two met Sun Wanrong and his group.

Sun Wanrong has been pregnant for nearly two months. Although she has not shown her pregnancy, she is showing off her pregnancy. Not only is Qiantang holding her waist to protect her, but there are also two little maids guarding her on the left and right.

Accompanying her was the wife of the Shaofu Shaojian, and the wife of the first wife who was a bachelor's student in the Cabinet. They were all sisters with whom she had good friendships. Among them, the Shaofu Shaojian's wife was even her distant cousin. Because of her introduction, she was able to

Married to a young eunuch of a young mansion, she loved to go to the Earl of Xianchang's mansion on weekdays to show her status in her husband's family.

The moment Sun Wanrong saw Meng Alan, she felt that she looked very familiar, especially her aura, which seemed to be carved out of the same mold as her own.

"Who is this?" Sun Wanrong's face was slightly distorted.

Tang Xi saw it and didn't say a word.

Meng Alan bowed and saluted, and said Yingying: "Meng Alan, a commoner girl, has met the countess."

His demeanor, posture, every frown and every smile are very similar to hers.

The wife of the first wife, who was a bachelor's degree student in the cabinet, had a keen insight into some conspiracies and calculations because there were many concubines vying for favor in the palace. She could tell at a glance that the matter was not simple, but she remained silent and watched on the sidelines.

"Miss Meng, I met Xi'er when we were shopping today." Tang Xi spoke up at the right time, with a sad voice and an unbearable tone, "Her hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River. Something happened to her family and her father passed away. She came all the way to the capital to find her fiancé who was taking the scientific examination.

I couldn't find her for a long time, and the money was stolen again. Xi'er was destined to her and couldn't bear her living on the street, so he took her back to the house. I hope my mother won't mind."

Sun Wanrong smiled slightly, her smile was a little stiff, she looked at Meng Alan and asked considerately, "I am also from Jiangnan. I saw that Miss Meng was very polite in her gestures and gestures, so she must not be a white man in the family. I wonder if you can tell me who your father and brother are. Maybe I happen to know them."

"

Tang Xi had already prepared for these questions.

Meng Alan had memorized everything by heart.

"My father is Meng Yuan, the chief clerk of the county magistrate of Xiang County in Jiangnan. I am the only daughter in the family and have no brothers."

After saying that, he looked at her expectantly.

Sun Wanrong had not been back to Jiangnan in the past ten years, so how could she know the chief clerk of a small county magistrate?

She shook her head with regret and asked again, "Xi'er said that Miss Meng came to the capital this time to find her fiancé. I don't know his name. Maybe I can help you find him."

As long as it is false, there will definitely be loopholes. Sun Wanrong does not believe that Tang Xi can weave lies seamlessly.

"His surname is Liu Yaren. He is from Xiangxian County. He has been to the capital for twelve years to take the exam, and now he has not returned home for eight years." Meng Alan said, lowering his eyes, feeling sad and pitiful. "He once

Promise, you will come back and marry me after you become successful."

Sun Wanrong's cousin Sun Ruoyun had also been abandoned. At this moment, she felt very much the same way. She took a few steps closer, took her hand cordially, and advised her through experience, "Men are unreliable. Why should Miss Meng wait any longer? You can't say for sure what she's going to do."

My wife and children are already on the hot bed, and I don’t know where to go."

Sun Ruoyun has not been educated for several years, and her speech is not literate, but she often prides herself on being rough and rational.

Meng Alan smiled reluctantly and said firmly: "Thank you madam for your concern. I grew up with him since childhood. I believe he is not such a person."

Sun Ruoyun stamped her feet anxiously. She had thought the same way back then, and she was not deceived in the end. She opened her mouth to give some more advice, but the wife of the principal, a bachelor of the cabinet at the side, stopped her and said, "People have their own ideas.

Why do you have to force it?"

It’s better to worry more about your cousin! She winked at Sun Ruoyun.

Sun Ruoyun was so careless that it was impossible to tell what she meant. She held Meng Alan's hand and did not let go. She must save this woman who has gone astray today.

"Let me tell you, I was just like you back then..."

The wife of the principal, who is the cabinet minister, was speechless and choked. She took a deep breath and said, forget it, she can't explain it to such a country bumpkin.

Sun Wanrong stood aside, frowning slightly.

Yoo Ah In?

She searched her mind and found that she had never heard of this name. She was even more determined that Tang Xi had made it up. She turned around and told Qiantang: "Write it down and let someone find it."

She didn't believe that Tang Xi could make up a non-existent person at will.

As long as she found out that there was no such person, she could easily decipher any number of Tang Xi's schemes.

Then he turned his attention to Sun Ruoyun, who was admonishing Meng Alan to look back. His face turned cold. What a brainless idiot! He is not worthy of publicity!

Then he cast his eyes on Meng Alan's gentle and charming face, cursed vixen, raised his chin, interrupted Sun Ruoyun's words, and assumed the posture of a countess, "Then Miss Meng will stay at the Earl's Mansion first.

, I will send someone to help you find out the whereabouts of your fiancé."

If it is found that there is no such person, she will not let her go, nor will she let Tang Xi go. She is worried that she will not be able to catch her fox tail, so she just wants to let the master see the true face of her third daughter.

Meng Alan was very grateful and bowed, "Then I've been bothering Madam these past few days."

There was a determined smile in the lowered eyes. Great, the first step of the plan was successful.

Sun Wanrong curled her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Don't bother me, you are the first friend Xi'er brought back to the house, so naturally I will treat you as a guest at Earl Xianchang's house."

She said the last few words slowly and meaningfully. Tang Xi seemed unaware and smiled lightly, "Thank you, mother, for making it possible."

Sun Wanrong glanced at the gauze wrapped around her head, smiling softly and saying, "Since Xi'er is injured, she can rest at home to recuperate and don't go shopping anymore, lest she be careless and leave scars."

She should pray day and night that it would be best for her to leave scars and ruin the face that was very similar to Ye Rong.

"Thank you for your concern, mother. Xi'er is tired. Let's go back and rest first." Before Sun Wanrong could respond, she looked at Meng Alan, "Miss Meng, come with me. I will take you to see where you live these days."

"Okay." Meng Alan nodded with a smile.

Bypassing Sun Wanrong's group, he walked towards Xiyu Pavilion.

Because of Sun Wanrong's relationship, Sun Ruoyun never said good things about Tang Xi. Sun Wanrong always acquiesced and even approved of her scolding. At this moment, staring at Tang Xi's back, Sun Ruoyun scolded in a low voice as usual: "She is really uneducated! Fortunately, she is still Xianchang.

The third young lady of the Earl's Palace is arrogant, surly and disrespectful. How is she different from ordinary people in the city?"

The wife of the principal, who is the bachelor of the cabinet, stood aside politely. In the past, she would have more or less echoed a few words, but now looking at Sun Wanrong's unclear expression, she pursed her lips in a low-key manner and remained silent.

Sure enough, Sun Wanrong glared at Sun Ruoyun with a cold face, gave her a stern look, and left with Qiantang's support.

Sun Ruoyun: "?"

What happened? Wasn't everything fine just now?

She looked for help at the cabinet minister's bachelor's degree and the principal wife.

The other party shook his head helplessly and left with his maid.

Sun Ruoyun was left alone, standing there in confusion.
