Zhou Yu came out of the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion. The sun had moved to the west. Mingfu led the horse over and asked, "Second Master, are we going back to the mansion?"

"You go back first and tell Second Madam to wait for me to come back for dinner in the evening. I'm going to the iron shop." After saying that, he jumped on the horse, flicked the whip, and headed towards the south of the city.

"Second brother, you've only been married for four days, and you've only been in the shop for two days. Don't they say that newlyweds can't have their room empty for a month?"

The big black guy patted Liuzi from behind. Liuzi covered his head and shouted, "Dad, keep an eye on your eldest son. Why does he always pat me for no reason? What if he pats me silly and I can't get a wife?"

"You, you're not smart if I don't take a picture. Have you ever seen a wedding where the couple stay in the house every day for a month? The room cannot be left empty, which means that the couple must sleep in the new house at night." Uncle Qi said with a smile as he looked at the iron hoe in his hand.

"What? You have to be with a woman for a whole month, second brother? Xiao Meihua from Zuihualou and Miss Caidie from Yunxiang Yazhu will have to stay alone in empty rooms." Liuzi said, shaking his head.

Slap, he was hit on the head again, "Big black guy, if you hit me again, I will be really angry with you." Liuzi jumped up suddenly.

"I deserve to beat you. What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know what your second brother is doing in that kind of place? And you are still teasing him here." Uncle Qi put the hoe aside, stood up and walked towards the backyard.

Zhou Yu smiled and patted Liuzi's shoulder. "The girl next to your second sister-in-law makes delicious noodle soup. I'll bring her out to make it for you later."

"Really? Is it better than the one at Laowu's shop on the corner?" Liuzi has loved eating noodles since he was a child. No matter how big a dish of fish or meat is placed in front of him, it will never make him happier than a bowl of thin soup noodles.

"Just wait until you have eaten it before judging."

"Then second brother, when can you bring second sister-in-law here? Dad told me to kowtow to her."

Zhou Yu recalled the day before the wedding when Uncle Qi took her to see Wang. Uncle Qi wiped the tombstone with his sleeves again and again, muttering to himself, "Miss, don't worry, the second young master is going to marry a wife, someone you know. I have seen her, she is a very good lady, brave and resourceful, and will definitely not let Hu get the advantage. And the second young master is also very happy. I have watched the second young master grow up, and the things that made him really happy can be counted on one hand. If you know about this in the afterlife, you must bless them, and the couple will be united and grow old together."

Listening to Uncle Qi's choking voice, Zhou Yu's tears fell. He kowtowed and said softly, "Mom, my son has a family now, please rest assured. In the future, when he comes home, he will have hot meals to eat, and someone will leave the lights on for him. When he is away, someone will miss him and worry about him. Meng Wan is very good, you will definitely like her. Wait until I finish the affairs in the mansion, and I will bring her to you to see."

——————

"When the time comes for you to see him, I will bring him here naturally. Why are you in such a hurry?" The big black man took off his apron.

"I'm just anxious to get the red envelope. I don't know how big the red envelope will be for me when I meet my second sister-in-law for the first time, hehe."

"First time seeing you? It's not like you haven't seen her before." Zhou Yu smiled with his arms folded.

"Those few times don't count. She wasn't my second sister-in-law at that time." Liuzi shook his head. "If I had known that she was my second sister-in-law, I should have helped her with more work when she took care of Wu Hen last year."

"Why, are you being lazy?" asked the big black guy.

"No, hey, second brother, when will Wu Hen come back?"

"It will be soon. I just came from Third Brother Yue's place. Wu Hen will definitely be back before the snow falls."

A few people were chatting, and Uncle Qi slowly came over, holding the small pot he usually used to drink tea from, took a sip and said, "The news has spread."

Zhou Yu smiled contemptuously, "Nothing good to say, saying that the princess is kind, but the kindness she showed to the second young master was all in vain. Which daughter-in-law doesn't call her mother-in-law? The second young master of the Prince's Mansion doesn't respect his stepmother, and he doesn't even let his own daughter-in-law recognize her mother."

"Also, what happened last night has also been leaked." Uncle Qi sat down and said softly.

"Oh, that's fast enough. How do you say this?" Zhou Yu asked indifferently.

"The new second wife is domineering and unreasonable. She even didn't let go of a maid she had no connection with. It is said that the maid was still cursing when she was pulled into the car by the matchmaker, and she didn't stop talking all the way from Guishu Hutong to Nanshi Street." Liuzi laughed.

The alley where Prince Shen's Mansion is located is called Guishu Hutong, and Nanshi Street is a very busy street in the east of the city.

"Humph, they must be saying that how can a woman like this be worthy of being the mistress of the Prince's Mansion in the future." Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head.

"Those who believe in them are brainless. Which prostitute wouldn't stuff her mouth and push her out to be cursed at by the servants?" The big black man sat down and started to pull the bellows.

"Yes, that's how it was spread. First, Second Madam called you Princess Mother, which made you unhappy and angry. Then, you were late for paying your respects but refused to listen to the prince's lecture. Also, Second Madam was angry with Young Master Sun because of a skirt, and she drove away Young Master Sun's wet nurse and personal maid. Also, Second Madam didn't get along with your wet nurse, and she made her sick just a few days after she got married. Haha, so, although you have only been married for a few days, you have already become a topic of conversation among the rich and small families in Beijing. It's a pity that a good Second Madam has been said to be useless by them." Uncle Qi said in a deep voice, his face not looking very good.

"Humph, the prince only cares about the disgrace these news bring to his face, but never cares where these news come from. It has been like this since I can remember the first time I got into trouble."

Uncle Qi stopped talking after listening to Zhou Yu talking about his father.

"Second Master, what's next..." Uncle Qi leaned over and asked softly.

"No hurry, let her go. Her son is going to be married soon, she is very carefree, so she is the only one who is anxious. Let's do this for now, no matter what happens, we have to suppress it and let her do it. And Qing'er knows what she is doing. Since she has arranged it this way, she will naturally have a way to deal with it. I have confidence in her. And just now I talked to Third Brother Yue, the most important thing now is to arrange the reunion dinner in the palace."

"That's right. For such a rare opportunity, we must have made careful arrangements. But I didn't expect the idea to be so brilliant. I don't know whether it was Master Lin who came up with it himself or some expert around him who gave him the advice." Uncle Qi slowly sat down opposite Zhou Yu, holding the teapot.

"My brother-in-law also said that in the past six months, some things on Lin Ye's side are very different from before. Some things seem to be predicted in advance."

Uncle Qi nodded. "Anyway, it's moving in the direction we want. Maybe Master Lin has found another smart aide. By the way, how's the matter with Third Master Meng going?"

"I went to the Yue family today to do this."

"Oh? You seem to care about your uncle's affairs." Uncle Qi rarely teased Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu chuckled, "Of course. Among all the brothers in the Meng family, only Meng Wei is truly kind to Qing'er. From now on, I will be kind to whoever is kind to Qing'er."

"Second brother, I am also good to my second sister-in-law. Please give me your tungsten gold horsewhip." Liuzi squatted in front of Zhou Yu and said flatteringly.

"Get out of the way, go play somewhere else, you're just a kid." Zhou Yu pushed Liuzi's head aside.

Uncle Qi looked at Zhou Yu's cheerful smile and breathed a sigh of relief. It was great. Although it was only a few days, Zhou Yu seemed to have become a different person after getting married. He had really calmed down and was no longer the second young master who followed him around and wiped his tears.

"When will Mr. Meng leave? Will he leave with Mr. Yue?" Uncle Qi asked.

"Third brother wants us to go together. After all, Meng Wei is a latecomer. If he goes alone, he might not be able to stand on his own. Besides, we can use this time to let Meng Wei practice more with Master Bao, which will be good for him in the future."

Uncle Qi nodded, "Mr. Meng's move to Miaodi is a good move. Second Madam has a long-term vision."

Zhou Yu listened to Uncle Qi praising Meng Wan and puffed out his chest proudly, "That's right, it's not only a warning to Meng Hai, but it will also provide Master Lin with another move for his next plan."

"Well, it seems like it shouldn't be a problem to reach the fifth rank within two years."

"Third Brother Yue meant that if Meng Wei was really someone who could be trained, he would personally talk to Lord Qin and have a few small fights, and even better, get some military merits."

Mr. Qin is the general of Sichuan Protectorate, Qin Zhong. He was originally the deputy general of the King of Zhenbei. He was brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful. Later, he was recommended by the King of Zhenbei to be the general of Sichuan.

The road is paved, and everything depends on whether Meng Wei is the right material. If he can be helped, he can be used in Master Lin's plan in the future. At the very least, it is better than staying in the Marquis's mansion and doing nothing, living under the watchful eyes of others.
