On this day, the huge Meng Mansion was all mobilized. Countless maids, servants, guards in black with swords, and well-dressed house stewards were walking in the long corridor of the Meng Mansion, which was as wide as a maze. They were busy preparing to welcome Meng Jizu. Wait for others and be prepared.
Meng Zhao received the notice early in the morning and treated it as a top priority. He took a shower and changed clothes early in the morning, and his ingenious maid took care of the clothes, hair accessories, belts, etc. His hair was neatly combed, and he was busy.
It took half an hour to put it on, and the whole person looked brand new.
The overall tone is that of wealth and arrogance. The green gown has a straight high collar, shoulders spread out, a white jade belt around the waist, and the boots at the feet are also high-end goods. In addition, Meng Zhao himself has a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. The contrast is extraordinary.
Lu Le also changed into decent clothes and accompanied Meng Zhao. When the time was almost up, he went directly to the terraced house in front of the east gate of Meng's house to wait.
The townhouse is a lounge specially prepared for the owners of the house or VIPs from outside the house. It is spacious and bright. When several mahogany double doors are opened, the sunlight directly enters the house, making it warm and comfortable.
When Meng Zhao took Lu Le with him, he discovered that many people were already sitting in the room. According to the rules and etiquette, they came forward to pay homage one by one.
The first person to worship was Kong Yun, the hostess of the Meng Mansion and the first wife of Nan'an Bo Meng Jizu.
The hostess has outstanding features and wears light makeup, looking very beautiful.
Moreover, her skin is fair and smooth, and she looks very young, like a girl in her twenties. It is completely impossible to tell that she has given birth to three children.
Her dressing style is also elegant and luxurious, with beads and jade hairpins all on her head.
If you take out one piece, I am afraid that it will be a unique piece and a treasure that many people will never see once in their lifetime.
The upper body is draped in gold and red with hundreds of butterflies, and the lower body is an emerald flower pleated skirt, which firmly covers her beautiful figure and makes her look very noble.
Meng Zhao knew that Mrs. Meng came from a saintly family, was extravagant by nature, and loved ostentation. The reason why she was well maintained was because of her money.
That is a huge number that makes many women feel envious and jealous, and makes many men shed tears.
Meng Zhao didn't know much about this hostess. He only met her once and exchanged a few words with her on the day she returned home.
However, judging from the information we have learned, this person seems to have a cold and indifferent temperament. He does not care about the affairs of the house, big or small, and ignores them, delegating power to his younger siblings.
Even towards her husband and two sons, she was very indifferent.
The only person who could show her care and kindness was the girl next to her, Meng Rong, the only daughter of Meng Jizu and the younger sister of Meng Xi and Meng Wen.
Therefore, apart from being polite and polite, Meng Zhao also had no special thoughts to please this person.
He even ignores his own son. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to go to him, a person with whom he has no connections?
In addition to the eldest wife, Meng Zhao also saluted his third aunt, An Hui, the wife of his third uncle Meng Hongdao.
This lady is also very beautiful, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, a round nose, slightly red cheeks, feet together, hands folded on her legs, looking very gentle and virtuous.
Moreover, her clothes are in the simple style and there are few accessories on her body, forming a sharp contrast with Kong Yun.
Although this third aunt looks like this now, she was born in Paektu Mountain, one of the thirteen families. When she was a girl, she also gained the reputation of a chivalrous woman with a fierce fighting spirit.
Later, he met Meng Zhao's third uncle Meng Hongdao, and the two fell in love. After being reconciled by their elders, they made a marriage arrangement and achieved a happy marriage.
Anhui has been a mother for many years and gave birth to two sons for Meng Hongdao. She has cultivated her mind and character. In recent years, she has been helping Meng Jizu and her husband manage the Meng Mansion. She is a virtuous housekeeper.
Compared to Kong Yun, she is the real mistress of the Meng Mansion, but her status is just different.
He saluted the two elders and patiently greeted brothers Meng Xi and Meng Wen one by one.
The two brothers were also dressed very formally today, perfectly displaying the excellent genes of the Meng family.
If these three brothers formed a boy group in their previous life, they would definitely be the top among the top.
And it seemed that in front of their mother, the two of them not only acted very reserved, but their relationship was not as tense as it was in private, and they acted like brothers.
He also greeted his fourth brother repeatedly. No one who has practiced this skill for several years would be so proficient in this kind of acting.
Finally, there is Meng Rong, who is nestled next to her mother, acting cute and naive.
This little girl is only fourteen years old this year. She is very young, but she has already revealed her beauty.
Inheriting her mother's beautiful oval face, her pair of water-cut eyes seem to be hiding stars, suddenly shining and blooming.
She has a jade-like nose, snow-like skin, and a girlish bun. When she smiles, she reveals her neat, white teeth.
The dress is also very cute and cute, with a pink jacket paired with trousers and pony boots, and a silver chain on the hem, which makes a clattering sound when it shakes.
Like a beautiful bell, it gathers all the angels of love and happiness.
After Meng Rong walked in, she kept staring at him curiously, twisting her fingers and unblinking eyes.
Mainly because it was the first time the two met after ten years, and they were full of curiosity.
Ten years ago, Meng Rong was only four years old. At such an old age, she had already forgotten all about Meng Zhao.
In addition, she thinks this cousin is very handsome and good-looking. Anyway, he is much more pleasing to the eye than her two brothers, and her favorability is gradually rising.
And when Meng Zhao took the trouble to salute Kong Yun, An Hui, Meng Xi, and Meng Wen respectfully and politely, he became even more excited.
A pair of bright eyes stared at Meng Zhao, like a kitten longing for the caress of its owner.
At the end, she found that Meng Zhao ignored her and walked directly to a chair next to him to sit down. His movements were quite cool and handsome.
He grinned and said loudly and unhappily,
"Cousin, why don't you talk to me? I've obviously been waiting for a long time."
As soon as these words were said, the situation suddenly became awkward.
Mainly because what Meng Rong said was a bit unreasonable.
The four people Meng Zhao respectfully bowed to were all his elders in terms of seniority and status.
Not to mention the eldest aunt, the third aunt, but also the two brothers.
The phrase "elder brother is like father" refers to this relationship situation.
But not Meng Rong. From a relative's perspective, it was Meng Rong, his cousin, who should say hello to him.
Just like in previous lives, everyone gathered together to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, and it was the younger generations saying hello to the elders.
If you, a junior, ask your elders why they don't take the initiative to say hello to you, you will only be said to be rude, uneducated, and ignorant of the rules.
However, Meng Rong is really a little different.
Because it is obvious that this girl is not so much rude or ignorant of rules as she is naive, ignorant of the world, has no experience in life at all, and is too well protected.
This also has a lot to do with her own living environment and the love of her elders.
