The streets were bustling with people coming and going.
At the door of the tavern where the carriage stopped, the coachman, who was also an old man from the Meng family, opened the curtain and asked: "Third Miss, do you want to get out of the car?"
Meng Xin shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle Yu, please check for me if Brother Fu is inside?"
She had accidentally met Fu Youting several times in this pub, and she was always drunk.
It's only three o'clock in the morning. If Fu Youting had stayed up all night, he wouldn't have gone back yet.
Uncle Yu hurried away, then hurried back, hunched over and said, "He is here, fistfighting with someone."
Meng Xin covered up the dryness in her eyes and said quietly: "Then just wait."
"Third Miss, if you don't return home after the hour, it will be the first lady to blame you later."
Meng Xin was born as a concubine and had a low status in the Meng family. He was often suppressed by the main wife.
Just because she was willing to get married but to become a medical officer in the palace was already deviant enough.
Now that she is over 20 years old, the eldest lady always scolds her every time she sees her.
She said that she was delusional, thinking that being an imperial physician would only make her attracted by the nobles in the palace.
It is said that she is high-spirited and does not even look at the talents arranged by her family. She has become the old girl she is now, and no one can even look up to her.
It was okay at first, because she was close to Cheng Ning, so the eldest lady only dared to whisper a few words in the house.
Because Cheng Ning protected Meng Xin, she was a veteran leader and basically gave no face to anyone.
Once, in front of Meng Xin, he pointed at his nose and scolded her: "You love marrying so much, how many more times should you marry!"
The doctor almost fainted.
However, since the incident in the Cheng family, the eldest lady felt that Meng Xin's support had fallen, and she had scolded her more and more harshly in the past six months.
Recently, men often came to my door, saying they wanted to see Meng Xin.
As long as she takes the chance, the eldest lady doesn't care about her family status, she just wants to use Meng Xin to sell more money.
So that I can save a dowry for the fourth daughter of the Meng family.
So Meng Xin doesn’t like to go back either.
The driver had good intentions, but Meng Xin didn't want to accept it. She actually set up a stove in the car and skillfully put the hangover medicine she had prepared on it to heat it up.
The driver moved his eyes away and sighed silently.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a loud noise at the door of the restaurant.
The proprietress of this restaurant is a girl, quite old. She said her husband died a few years ago and she never remarried.
But she was very beautiful, and many customers came to drink just because of her face.
Meng Xin opened the car curtain and looked over. He saw Fu Youting, who was in a dank state but was blinded by alcohol. The proprietress was supporting him by his side.
Boss Yang was very petite. He supported Fu Youting and giggled: "General, have you had a good drink today?"
On one side were several of Fu Youting's drinking buddies, all joking.
"It's great! How can I not be happy! Isn't it great to have Boss Yang drinking with me? Boss Yang never spends time with others!"
Boss Yang has a bright red velvet flower hanging on his left temple. It should be gaudy, but with a woman like her, it looks charming.
She said coquettishly: "General Fu doesn't come here every day! He comes here every day and I'll accompany him every day!"
"Come!" This time it was Fu Youting who spoke, and he shouted angrily: "Come back tomorrow!"
Whoever saw this didn't say anything about General Cheng's depravity.
He didn't even go to court these days, and he didn't know if he had fallen out with the emperor.
The news that he asked to return to southern Xinjiang, but was suppressed and rejected by the emperor several times, has spread throughout the government and the public.
It is said that Fu Youting will be the next Cheng Ning, and Wei Yanzhou will cultivate his own party members.
Therefore, Fu Youting began to degenerate, hanging out with a bunch of dudes and drinking every day, and even sometimes appeared in a brothel.
Anyway, the atmosphere in the entire government and opposition parties has changed a lot, and everyone is in danger.
Suddenly Fu Youting's eyes froze, and he passed through the crowd and focused on Meng Xin's carriage.
It was too far away, so Meng Xin guessed that he recognized her, but there was probably no reaction.
Boss Yang also followed Fu Youting's gaze and exclaimed, "This little sister is still wearing official uniform. General, who is she?"
"You also said little sister," Fu Youting let go of her and walked towards Meng Xin, waving behind his back: "See you tomorrow!"
Meng Xin seemed to have heard them arguing and talking about himself, and his expression had no good intentions.
She probably felt that she was Fu Youting's child bride who appeared out of nowhere, and she was still very clingy.
She was laughing, but Fu Youting had already walked in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Youting burped: "Are you following me?"
This was not the first time Meng Xin sat in a carriage and appeared where he was drinking.
Meng Xin shrank back, made room for Fu Youting to get in the car, and handed him the warm bowl of sobering soup: "Drink it."
She was wearing an official hat, which seemed a bit silly to Fu Youting.
Originally, the etiquette officials in Jinyang probably did not consider women as officials at all, and the styles of official uniforms and hats were all men's.
With his jet black hair, Meng Xin looked serious and serious.
After taking a look at her medicine box, he took the hangover soup and took a sip, before Fu Youting said, "Going to see Cheng Ning?"
"Well," the hangover soup was bitter, and Meng Xin gave him the candy Cheng Ning had just given her: "Aning is fine."
Fu Youting nodded.
If everything is fine, it means the fetus is stable.
That's right, Wei Yanzhou was watching closely, and no one in the palace knew that Cheng Ning was pregnant, so nothing would happen to her for the time being.
If one day she finds out and wants to kill Wei Yanzhou, then she will hand her the knife.
Although I wasn't completely drunk, I felt very uncomfortable after drinking.
Fu Youting was about to get up and leave: "Okay, go back if you have nothing to do. Don't follow me next time. I'm still a little kid learning to follow others, tsk."
"Brother - I'll give you a ride. Don't ride a horse after drinking. It's easy to catch the cold." Meng Xin pulled his sleeve.
Glancing down, Fu Youting chuckled: "Your brother was able to defeat someone else's battalion when he was drunk. What's the point of riding a horse?"
Fu Youting is not a serious person at all. He can drink wine, go to brothels, and is not stingy in his life. He is much worse than Wei Yanzhou who pretends to be serious.
But he had to avoid the girl's house. Now that he had been caught by Meng Xin several times, he had almost lost all the face he had.
But he didn't know that Meng Xin didn't care at all: "Really, I'll give it to you."
"Are you on your way?" Fu Youting narrowed his eyes.
It's not convenient at all. Fu's house is on West Street, and Meng's house is just outside the second street in front.
If Meng Xin wanted to give it away, he would have to go in a big circle.
"I'll see you off first, and then I'll go back to the house." Meng Xin said, "I slept on duty last night, and I'm not sleepy now."
I always felt that this girl had something on her mind, but she was never one to take the initiative to tell her.
Fu Youting exhaled and leaned his head against the car wall, his handsome face immersed in the newly emerged sun.
Covered with a layer of gold: "Then let's go."
Meng Xin looked a little crazy. It took him a while to realize what he was doing and told the driver to leave.
But as soon as the carriage reached Second Street, Fu Youting, who originally thought he should be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Stop."
