Every life can pick up a little cutie
Chapter 12
do not.
The door closed, and Zhu Ling pushed the wheelchair away behind Zhu Yue. He was relieved that the young master came back intact. He was a talkative person, so he asked curiously, "Master, do you know that benefactor?"
"I know, brother's name is Meng Jiaze." He remembered it clearly.
Zhu Ling didn't have a good relationship with the other servants because he was protecting Zhu Yue, and he didn't recognize Meng Jiaze's identity, so he nodded and said in agreement, "Mr. Meng is really a good man."
Thinking of the people in the mansion, he felt sorry for the young master again: "The young master didn't come back last night, the eldest young master and the others still acted as if they had nothing to do with me, even the master didn't send anyone out..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a frivolous voice: "Hey, didn't you come back, but aren't you a cripple... Did you crawl back?" The speaker specially emphasized the word crawling, lest others would not understand Know the irony in this statement.
Zhu Ling blushed with anger, but Zhu Yue was very calm, without embarrassment at all, and distracted herself to appease Zhu Ling.
For this kind of person, the angrier you are, he will only get more aggressive, just ignore his words.Furthermore, Zhu Hui, the second son of the Zhu family, is arrogant and domineering and is deeply loved, so they can't afford it.
"Tsk tsk, climb all the way from the Moon Appreciation Pavilion... ah!" Zhu Fangjian bent his legs in pain, knelt down on the ground, and gave Zhu Yue a "big gift" with his hands on the ground.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his clothes were covered in dust. He stood up covering his face cursingly: "Who! Who sneaked up on me?!"
After being yelled at by him, no one dared to go over to help him, no matter how far away he was, and the closest friend to him...you just called someone crippled, why did they sneak up on you?
"Hiss... It's really unlucky today, and I haven't come to help me!" It's strange, he clearly felt that someone kicked him.Not daring to stay any longer, he hurriedly leaned on the servant and left.
Back in their own house, Zhu Yue and the two laughed. Their residence is very remote, and they are not afraid of people coming.
"Hahaha, young master, do you still remember his pig's head?"
Zhu Yue nodded. Although she didn't speak, she was in a very good mood. I have to say that the moment Zhu Hui "salted" to him was very refreshing.
The shadow guard hiding on the back of the house hides his figure, hiding his achievements and fame.
That night, the eldest and second young masters of Zhu's mansion waited for a group of people who didn't come back until late at night, so the mansion quickly sent people out to look for them, and almost searched the entire capital, only to find a group of people who were sleeping soundly in the brothel at dawn .
Zhu Shangshu was so angry that he slapped everyone on the spot, "A group of rebellious sons!"
The people who woke up were in distress, they were obviously sent here after being knocked out!
-
On the other hand, Meng Jiaze, who returned to Yonghua Palace after being separated from Zhu Yue, also began to carefully plan his plan.
Because he was worried about Zhu Yue, he didn't finish reading the book, but now he has time to study it slowly.
Skipping over the plot where the protagonist Lu Zhujiao slapped the face, he connected all the important events.Lu Zhujiao came through three years later. At that time, the prince not only had the support of the prime minister, but also controlled part of the military power, and his position was very firm.
Coupled with Lu Zhujiao's modern knowledge, many unprecedented inventions made her an imperial merchant, and the absolute advantages of money, military strength, and the right to speak in the court made Meng Jingyi firmly seated on the throne of the prince.
Whether Lu Zhujiao will pass through is still an unknown question. The prince relied on the prime minister to get the support of many ministers. These two points are not easy to start with, so what he can fight for in advance is military power.
In the book, he also relied on the remaining contacts of the Fu family to control the other half of the military power, and there was a battle of strength.That's right, in the book, he firmly refused to admit that he was the heartbreaker who bullied Zhu Yue.
The opportunity for the prince to gain military power was a battle not long after, when foreign enemies invaded, some hermits came out to join the army one after another. The prince personally led the troops to win and won their loyalty.
Compared with the prince, he believes that he will do better, and now he is trying to find a way to get this opportunity.
Meng Jiaze picked up a pen and began to plan on paper.At this time, he discovered that there was a line of small characters in different colors under the last page of "The Glorious Concubine", which read "Readers' Comments Area".
He focused on it out of curiosity, and a new page opened.It was full of words that he didn't know, such as heroine, hero, affectionate second, etc., and he didn't understand the meaning until after reading it.
The heroine is Lu Zhujiao, the time traveler, and the hero is the prince Meng Jingyi. They are the protagonists of the story, and he... is the villain?
As a villain, his fate was miserable, and he tried to rebel and finally died with all arrows piercing through him.
Interesting, a hint of amusement flashed in Meng Jiaze's eyes, he really wanted to know if the protagonist could defeat him, the vicious villain, in this life.
The invisible world line has quietly changed.
The following days became more regular, preparing for the upcoming war during the day, and climbing over the palace wall at night to "night attack" his future princess.
The sky darkened again, every family began to rest after dinner, ordinary people went to bed early, some wealthy families might light a lamp, and rich families might have some recreational activities.
Zhu Yue sat on the bed, asked Zhu Ling to light a candle for him, and looked in the direction of the window expectantly.
"Young master, don't be impatient, Mr. Meng will come." Zhu Ling looked at his young master's eager eyes and said with a smile.
Since the young master was found that day, Mr. Meng would come to accompany him every night, sometimes with pastries, sometimes with some novelty gadgets, the young master seemed much more cheerful.
There is also the bank note found in the baggage last time, which is a full 1000 taels. He has never seen so much money in his life.With this money, he also secretly improved the young master's life.
Mr. Meng must be the young master of a family who came out to travel, right?What a righteous knight.
It wasn't until Zhu Ling found out that his young master's heart had been taken away by someone that he realized that this "knight-errant" was only interested in his young master.
"Dong dong dong." Someone knocked on the window three times, and the time between each two knocks was three breaths, which was their secret signal.
Zhu Ling opened the window, and Meng Jiaze, dressed in black, rolled in lightly, holding a small bundle in his hand.
"Does Xiaoyue miss me?" Meng Jiaze sat next to Zhu Yue, and kissed the tip of his nose affectionately.
"I miss my brother!" A pair of round eyes were curved with a smile.
Zhu Yue is still used to calling Meng Jiaze brother, and Meng Jiaze is both sweet and distressed about it. Although Xiaoyue calls him brother very sweetly, but judging by the calm expression on his face, you can tell that he is not enlightened at all.
Zhu Ling had already left consciously and closed the door behind him.For some reason, when he saw those two getting along, he always felt that he was awkward and extraneous.
"Try to see if you like this, I picked it specially for you." Meng Jiaze held a piece of green pastry and fed it to Zhu Yue's mouth. There were delicate patterns on the pastry. The taste was sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance was soft and not sticky.
Zhu Yue fell in love with it after just one bite, "Brother, what is this?" "Mung bean cake." Meng Jiaze replied casually.He stole it from the imperial dining room. I heard that it was originally intended to be given to the queen. It seemed to be called jade or something cake. Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as Xiaoyue likes it.
After feeding, Meng Jiaze picked up Zhu Yue and weighed it in his arms.Zhu Yue hugged his neck and asked limply, "What are you doing, brother?"
"Let me see if Xiaoyue has gained weight."
"Has Xiaoyue gained weight?"
"Sigh." Meng Jiaze dragged his little butt, "Who told Xiaoyue not to eat well? After feeding for so many days, Xiaoyue only gained a little weight, only a little flesh on her little butt."
Zhu Yue buried her face on his neck in shame, but she said obediently, "Then I will eat more in the future and try to gain weight."
"Hmm... It's comfortable to hold when you're fat." Meng Jiaze agreed, this is for the benefit of his own future.
The candle was burning quietly, and the orange fire lit up the whole room, bringing a little warmth.
After playing around, Meng Jiaze put Zhu Yue back on the bed, helped someone undress and stuffed it under the quilt, "Xiaoyue should go to bed."
"Brother is leaving?" A hand stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed the hem of his clothes, obviously trying to make people stay.
"Good boy." Meng Jiaze put that hand back under the quilt, "Xiaoyue, go to sleep, I won't leave."
Only then did Zhu Yue close her eyes.
The sun has not yet risen, and a little light spills in through the window paper.
Meng Jiaze opened his eyes, and as no surprise, another clingy man named Zhu Yue was wrapped around him.He left a kiss on the forehead of the person in his arms, and then began to struggle to remove the person from himself without waking him up.
Xiaoyue is usually obedient and clever, why is she so clingy when she sleeps?Meng Jiaze thought that he was distressed, but he was secretly happy.
Taking advantage of the early time, he dug out the Zhu Mansion and went back, but no one found out.It can be seen that practicing martial arts for many years is still very useful in this regard.
16. Pick up the little brother
Seeing his master leave, Ying Yi also came out of the tree where he was hiding, and followed behind Meng Jiaze.
At this time, the sky is still not clear, and ordinary people are still asleep.Both Meng Jiaze and Yingyi are people with outstanding martial arts, and they noticed a trace of restlessness in this supposedly peaceful time.
"Go and have a look." Meng Jiaze's intuition told him that this trip would yield important results.
The two speeded up and headed east.
In the slums of the capital city, a big fat man in luxurious clothes walked ostentatiously with his chubby head, followed by more than a dozen guards holding wooden sticks, a group of people aggressively broke into a dilapidated but clean house .
Xiao Di, the male owner of the house, was awakened by the noise, and quickly woke up his wife, telling her to hide in the room.
"Stop! What are you trying to do?"
The big fat man waved his hand to stop the smasher, opened the fan in his hand and pretended to shake it twice, showing his golden teeth: "What are you doing? Collect protection money."
"Didn't I pay the protection fee?" The next month's protection fee should not be paid at this time.
"I say when to hand it in, I will hand it in at that time. My brother-in-law works in the palace."
Xiao Di gritted his teeth, if he was still the young master of the Xiao family, then it would be his turn to be oppressed by a group of bastards, "I have no money."
What the big fat man was waiting for was his words: "It's okay if you don't have money, you can buy your wife to me, and you won't need to ask for protection money anymore, sir, I will still protect you from now on."
Although the Xiao family is down and out, but Xiao Di's wife is a beauty, she was fascinated when she saw her yesterday, no, she came here before dawn.
"Dream!" Even if he died, he wouldn't let this scoundrel bully Lian Er.
"If you don't eat a toast, you will be fined, call me!"
The sound of falling sticks sounded, and Xiao Di pulled a chair to fight with them.But he is a weak scholar, how can he beat him?
"Husband!" Yun Lian also heard their conversation, and ran out crying, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'll go with you!"
"Lian'er!" Xiao Di spat out a mouthful of blood and said hoarsely, "Don't promise him, go!"
However, where can a weak woman go?There are poor people with no money and no rights around here, who can help him?
Xiao Di clenched his teeth, he hates it so much!If one day he can take revenge, he must tear these people into pieces!No matter what the cost!
"Shh-"
There was a flash of a figure, and the people around Xiao Di fell down one after another clutching their legs, wailing in pain.
After Ying Yi withdrew his sword, he protected Meng Jiaze again. He didn't kill anyone, but the wounds of these people can't be healed without careful treatment.
Meng Jiaze put on the mask, took the sword in Yingyi's hand, and casually but accurately placed the scabbard on the fat man's forehead.
The big fat man was frightened by his eyes as if looking at a dead object, his legs softened and he knelt down, begging for mercy: "Hero, please forgive me, I, I am also following orders! I have seniors and younger ones, big ones Hero, don't kill me!"
Meng Jiaze withdrew his sword, and asked with interest, "There are old and young?"
Well, that might be true.
"That's right! Hero, don't kill me!" The big fat man quickly kowtowed, crying as he kowtowed, his forehead turned red after a few strokes, and he looked very sincere.
"Then I won't kill you." At the moment when the fat man was secretly happy, Meng Jiaze pulled out his sword and picked his tendons, and said calmly, "Since you have children in your family, they will take good care of you."
Terrible pain came from the limbs, and before the big fat man could scream, he found that he could not use his hands and feet. He was crippled.
Meng Jiaze frowned slightly, ignored the pig-killing screams, and looked at the dozen or so thugs on the ground who had regained their mobility, "Why don't you carry him back?"
"Yes, yes, let's go."
After they hurriedly carried the person away, the room became quiet again.
Meng Jiaze glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, but his heart remained unmoved.Tsk, it seems that he is still a cold-blooded person in essence.
Over there, Xiao Di was supported by Yun Lian and knelt down in front of him, "Thank you benefactor for saving me. Now that Xiao has a low status, there is no way to repay him. If there is a chance to make a fortune in the future, I will never forget the benefactor's life-saving grace."
Although he was in adversity, he still had a good posture even when he knelt down, retaining the pride of the son of the aristocratic family.
The surname is Xiao... A name flashed in my mind, and Meng Jiaze asked, "Your name is Xiao Di?"
"It's Xiao."
This is a coincidence.
Ever since he had more books in his mind, he found that he seemed to be able to see the luck lines of others.Although it is impossible to drive away harm and avoid disasters, the amount of luck represents how much a person has achieved in his life.
Of all the people he has come into contact with now, only he and Xiaoyue can't see the luck. Does this mean that their future will be different?
Having said that, he deliberately showed up this time because he took a fancy to the luck of this person, but he did not expect to snatch the crown prince's number one hero in the future.
Xiao Di, his family was wiped out, and he managed to escape with his wife. When he was down, he was robbed of his beloved wife by scoundrels. His wife could not bear the humiliation and died.From then on, Xiao Di kept his name incognito, and was able to take revenge after being appreciated by the prince. Since then, he has been loyal to the prince and helped the prince at all costs.
"You don't have to wait later, I can help you get ahead right now." Meng Jiaze thought about it, and if he asks for help, he should also give some benefits. "I'll help you change your status as a couple, and you can start your official career again."
"Here, you won't be rewarded for nothing..." Xiao Di wasn't afraid that the other party might harbor malicious intentions, but just had a disturbed conscience.
"Don't worry, when you need you, you pack up first, and someone will come and take you away later."
Xiao Di's eyes were shining, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. En!"
After dealing with Xiao Di's matter, Meng Jiaze left with Ying Yi.
As expected, half a month later, there was news from the frontier that foreign enemies had invaded our dynasty and had captured three cities in a row!
"What's your opinion, dear friends?"
"Back to the emperor, this must be called back!"
"My minister agrees."
Most of the courtiers have this idea.
Of course the emperor thought so too. They had been prosperous and prosperous for so many years, how could they be aggrieved to cede land and ask for peace?But, "Is there a general candidate?"
"This..." Since the fall of the Fu family, other rising stars may not be able to take on this important task!
Seeing that the people below looked at each other with no results, the emperor became impatient: "After three days, choose a general and retire!"
In Yonghua Palace, Meng Jiaze knew that his chance had come.
"Master, there is news from Xiao Di that he has successfully become the prince's guest servant."
"Very good, tell him to ask Meng Jingyi to suggest that I lead the army."
"Obey, master."
After they left, Meng Jiaze took out the jade pendant from his bosom.The jade pendant is made of high-quality warm jade, which feels warm to the touch. It is divided into two identical parts.
It was left to him by his mother, who said it would be given to his wife when he got married.
I don't know if she will like Xiaoyue?Surely it will.
The last words she left to herself before she died were to keep herself from being lost in hatred and to live this life well.
-
In the prince's palace, he called all the guests, and a group of people began to discuss, should they go to the frontier to fight?
The prince doesn't have any capable generals here, and if he goes there, he will die. The key is that he, the person recommended by him, will also be implicated, so he can only go in person.It would be great if they could win the battle, but on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, who can guarantee that they will come back alive?
While agreeing to go, while refusing to go, both sides have reasons, and there is no decision at all.
At this time, Xiao Di said: "The reason why His Royal Highness is in trouble is that he only considers the power of himself and the third prince. If the person who goes there has no reliance, this is also feasible."
Meng Jingyi thought it was reasonable and asked, "Then who can do it?"
"Today's Fifth Prince Meng Jiaze's natal family is a family of generals, and his grandfather, Old General Fu, is a generation of heroes. His ability to lead the army is not too bad. The most important thing is that the Fu family is gone, and the Fifth Prince is also a hero in the palace. If it is not helpful, it will not threaten your status."
"What do others think?"
"I feel that Brother Xiao's words are very reasonable." The second undercover agent thought about it "cautiously" and agreed aloud.
"In this case..." Meng Jingyi was still a little worried. He knew what his mother had done to the Fu family. Although Meng Jiaze was still young at the time, no one would tell him, "Then I'll think about it again."
In order to deal with Meng Jingyi's suspicion, Meng Jiaze walked around the palace a few times in the past two days, completely acting out his helpless but innocent deceitful appearance.
Sure enough, that night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had never been here before Meng Jiaze, came to "visit" for the first time with a greeting gift.
"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to be so depressed here, and the servants in the palace don't have eyes! Don't worry, the elder brother will protect you from now on, and tell the elder brother if you need anything." Meng Jingyi looked indignant.
Meng Jiaze looked at his pretentious acting with cold eyes, and changed into a moved expression after the other party looked over, "Really? Thank you, brother."
"There's no need to say thanks between you and my brother." After finishing speaking, he pulled Meng Jiaze and said a lot of greetings.
Although he was overwhelmed, Meng Jiaze finished listening with a smile on his face.
Those who achieve great things must be able to endure first.
-
Half of the candles have been burned, why hasn't my brother come yet?Are you not coming tonight?Zhu Yue was a little sad, and lay down on the quilt to rest for a while.
Zhu Ling had already been sent to rest by him, and he was alone in the whole room, alone.Zhu Yue was a little sad. In fact, he was always alone before, but after having his brother, he no longer wanted to sleep alone, nor did he want to sleep with anyone other than his brother.
"Dong dong dong."
Hearing a familiar voice, Zhu Yue propped herself up, a little anxious: "Brother, wait for me." As she spoke, she was about to drag her body to sit on the wheelchair.
Meng Jiaze felt something was wrong, so he directly lifted the wooden bolt on the window to open it.Seeing Zhu Yue's dangerous movements, he immediately went over to grab him into his arms.
He didn't feel at ease until he put the person on the bed properly, and taught him a lesson: "No, don't do this again." Knowing that he was late, he softened his voice again: "In the future, you can directly tell me about this situation, or send your wishes to me." Zero woke up, got it? Don't just climb into the wheelchair by yourself."
Zhu Yue looked at him flatteringly, with a hint of coquettishness: "Understood, brother, I won't do this next time."
This obedient appearance made Meng Jiaze soften again, "Xiaoyue is the most obedient."
It's all Meng Jingyi's fault, he chattered for a long time, it was all nonsense.
After shirking responsibility in his heart, Meng Jiaze remembered the most important thing: "Xiaoyue, let me take you out for the Lantern Festival tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!" Although Zhu Yue has been staying in the yard due to physical reasons, and was taken out last time and was thrown down, he still wants to go out and play like a normal person.
And this time it's my brother who took him to play, my brother will definitely protect him!
"Okay, then Xiaoyue will come out at night, I will wait for you outside."
After chatting for a while, Meng Jiaze coaxed him to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep when he was lying beside Zhu Yue.
Meng Jingyi will definitely find someone to push him out when he goes to court tomorrow, since the battle over there is urgent, he should leave within a few days.
Zhu Yue, who was sleeping soundly, leaned her upper body unconsciously, until she rubbed into Meng Jiaze's arms and hugged him with satisfaction before continuing to sleep with peace of mind.
Meng Jiaze also moved over to make Zhu Yue sleep more comfortably.
Xiaoyue will be sad when she finds out, right?He thought to himself, maybe he should come to him after the battle, or come and pick him up after the dust has settled?
However, he couldn't help it.
The book only wrote about the situation after the other party married him. At that time, Xiaoyue had already fallen in love with him, but he didn't know how Xiaoyue fell in love with him at all.
What if he came late and Xiao Yue fell in love with someone else?
Xiaoyue can only rely on him alone like now.
17. During the Lantern Festival
"Master!" Zhu Ling returned to the yard panting heavily, calling Zhu Yue as soon as he came in.
"What's the matter, Brother Zhu Ling?" Zhu Yue just woke up not long ago, and was drinking porridge with a bowl. Thinking of what his brother told him last night, he was very happy.
Zhu Ling's eyes flickered a little, and he said: "The master just came back from court and said that the general who will go to the frontier has been determined."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Zhu Yue wondered.
"But, the master said, the general is the fifth prince of the dynasty, Meng Jiaze." Zhu Ling continued cautiously: "Young Master Meng, is he also called by this name?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yue's mind went blank for a moment, and the porridge she was holding fell out of her hand.
When Zhu Ling saw it, he was frightened to death, and ran over to catch it.He also knew that the other party would be very sad, so he joked: "It's okay, young master, what if I got it wrong, maybe it's just that the name is somewhat similar to Mr. Meng."
Zhu Yue didn't listen to what he said at all, no wonder my brother had to wear a mask that time, no wonder my brother had to jump over the wall to come in every time... Although he didn't know the current court movements, he also knew that Zhu's family was on the side of the prince, so what? Isn't the elder brother the opposite?
After thinking wildly for a while, when Zhu Ling became more and more anxious, Zhu Yue came back to her senses, smiled at Zhu Ling, and comforted: "I'm fine."
"Really? Young master, don't think too much. Mr. Meng is so kind to young master, so it's not because he wants to use young master..."
Before Zhu Ling finished guessing, Zhu Yue interrupted with a smile: "Where are you thinking, brother will certainly not use me. I'm fine. In fact, he didn't hide it from me from the beginning, but I didn't recognize it. come out."
Seeing that Zhu Yue was really not sad, Zhu Ling handed him the porridge, and said with peace of mind: "The young master will drink it first, and I will clean up the house."
"I wish Brother Zero a lot of hard work."
"fine."
Zhu Yue drank the sweet porridge in the bowl, and the last trace of sadness dissipated. Perhaps he should be thankful that he was just a little transparent person who was not valued in Zhu's family, and would not be forced by the family to stand against his brother in the future.
With anticipation, time seems to be much harder. Zhu Yue waited for a long time before the sun finally set.
After dinner, under the urging of Zhu Yue, Zhu Ling had no choice but to speed up to pack his things, and went out with the very excited young master.
In Zhu's mansion, Zhu Yue, as the only concubine who has no backing from his mother's family and is disabled, is a little transparent in the eyes of everyone. In addition, he is also silent. Disdain to target him.
Therefore, no one cares when they leave and come back.
Zhu Ling pushed the young master's wheelchair and successfully sent Zhu Yue out. After a certain distance from Zhu's mansion, a man in white clothes and half a silver mask appeared in front of them.
Meng Jiaze also took good care of himself for this Lantern Festival. He looked handsome and attractive even with a mask on.
"Brother!" Upon seeing this figure, Zhu Yue recognized him and waved happily.He didn't see Meng Jiaze's careful thoughts tonight, because his brother was always the prettiest in his heart.
Meng Jiaze walked over and took over Zhu Ling's task of pushing the wheelchair. Although half of his face was covered, the eyes that were exposed were still gentle and doting.
"Has Xiaoyue dressed enough? It's colder at night than during the day."
"Enough to wear! Brother, let's go play!"
The two walked away talking and laughing, and Zhu Ling found out that Mr. Meng also brought someone here. The man was dressed in black, with a serious face, and looked very indifferent.
Zhu Ling was a talkative person, so he couldn't help but talk to him: "Brother, my name is Zhu Ling, what's your name? Are you a servant too?"
Ying glanced at him, and said calmly: "Ying Yi, the master's bodyguard."
Zhu Ling never thought of going to the shadow guard at all, and asked with bright eyes: "Wow! Brother, are your martial arts also very good? Can you see if I can learn martial arts? Can you teach me two tricks, I used to... ..."
"You're not good at all, you can't learn." Ying Yi interrupted him impersonally.
But Zhu Ling was not shocked at all, so he changed the subject and continued: "Oh, it doesn't matter if I can't learn, my biggest ideal is to make money, I always wanted to change my name to Zhu Fugui, otherwise I can also wish you money and get rich. .”
The other party didn't reply to him, and he didn't care. He said to himself very happily: "It's a pity that the name was obtained by the supervisor, and he even gave me a zero... By the way, brother, is your name also randomly obtained?" ? The two of us, one and one, are quite a match..."
Ying Yi, who could hold a knife to his neck with no expression on his face, frowned for the first time.
Meng Jiaze noticed the commotion behind him, smiled and said to Zhu Yue: "Zhu Ling is quite suitable for my guards, one talk more and one talk less."
"I wish Brother Ling is well. When I was young, no one played with me, and he was the one who accompanied me."
Meng Jiaze bought a bunch of candied haws and gave it to Zhu Yue, Xiao Yue just glanced at it. "It's okay, I'll be here from now on."
I will protect you, Xiaoyue.
The Lantern Festival is a very lively day. The main streets of the capital are filled with all kinds of lanterns, and candles are lit inside the lanterns to make them brightly lit.
The number of people gradually increased, and Zhu Yue was inconvenient in a wheelchair, so Zhu Ling and Yingyi were alone to protect him.
A young man in Yushu Linfeng was pushing a wheelchair, and the cute boy sitting in the wheelchair called him brother, so that should be his brother.Coupled with Meng Jiaze's doting eyes, they are so gentle and considerate that many young ladies and gentlemen look at him frequently.
This came out with a guard, and he has a good temperament. He must be the young master of a rich family. If he is lucky, he is the son of a minister's family. It would be good to marry him even if he is a concubine and emperor.
Because the first emperor was very masculine, he married several wives despite the protests of his officials, and the most favored one was even named emperor, so the Dayuan Dynasty was quite laissez-faire with Longyang's favor.People are also accustomed to marrying male wives, but after all, a man can't bear children and can't be the master.
The Lantern Festival is nominally a festival of lanterns, but in fact it is just a place for blind dates.If there is a girl who likes it, she will give him a lantern. If the girl accepts it, the man can prepare to propose marriage.
There are many stalls on the side of the road to buy lanterns, as well as places to buy various snacks and snacks.Meng Jiaze took Zhu Yue around, tried all kinds of snacks, and finally pushed him to a stall selling lanterns.
He had observed it just now, and the lanterns at this booth were the best.
As soon as the footsteps stopped, a soft and boneless female voice came from the side: "My lord, I like this lantern very much. You are willing to buy it and give it to me."
A white and tender hand pointed to a lantern painted with peonies. The owner of the hand was a fair-skinned and beautiful young lady who was looking at Meng Jiaze with those peach blossom eyes.
Meng Jiaze glanced at her and didn't look at her again. He turned his head and bent down to hug Zhu Yue, so that he could see all the lanterns: "Xiaoyue see if there is anything she likes, if not, we will go somewhere else."
The meaning of refusal is very clear.
The lady knew she had no chance, so she left.The other people who were secretly watching also took a break, they couldn't even look at such a good-looking person, it seems that they have a fiancée.
Zhu Yue hugged Meng Jiaze's shoulders tightly. For some reason, the way that woman looked at his brother made him feel very uncomfortable and depressed.He couldn't figure it out, so he could only mutter to Meng Jiaze, "Brother, why did that sister ask you to buy her a lantern?"
Zhu Ling smiled and said, "Master, that lady must have taken a fancy to Mr. Meng."
But Mr. Meng is a prince, how could he fall in love with these ordinary people.
Meng Jiaze glanced at him, a little displeased, Zhu Ling immediately shut his mouth.Then he said to Zhu Yue in a gentle voice: "Hey, listen to me, that sister must have admitted the wrong person, so don't worry about her."
"Is that so?" Zhu Yue still believed in him, but Zhu Ling's words also left a small lump in his heart.
"Well, let Xiaoyue choose lanterns."
Unable to figure it out, Zhu Yue put this matter behind her and began to concentrate on choosing lanterns.
Not long after, he fell in love with a gardenia lantern.
"Young master has a good eye. This gardenia is evergreen all the year round, with large, white flowers and a strong fragrance, implying a long and lasting relationship." The boss is a good speaker, and his words are made up so that people can't tell the truth.
"Brother, I want this!" Zhu Yue already had a familiar feeling about it, but after listening to the boss's words, he wanted it even more. His relationship with his brother will last forever!
"Okay." Meng Jiaze also saw this flower for the first time, but he liked it very much when he saw it. He took out the money and handed it to the boss, handed the lantern to Zhu Yue, and asked solemnly: "Xiao Yue, would you accept my gift?" Is there a lantern for you?"
Zhu Yue didn't quite understand his deep meaning, and after receiving the lantern, she kissed Meng Jiaze on the cheek, "Yes! Thank you brother."
Feeling the softness on his face that was ready to leave, Meng Jiaze froze for a moment, and then felt a little sour.
Xiaoyue, do you know what you are accepting?
The cool evening wind blew, and the hanging lanterns shook gently, and the river lanterns on the river floated into the distance.
In addition to the lanterns in the Lantern Festival, another well-known feature is the river lanterns. Write your wishes on them. As long as the river lanterns float far enough, your wishes will come true.
Meng Jiaze brought Zhu Yue to the grass by the river, and Ying Yi and Ying Yi were arranged a little further away by him, and now there were only him and Zhu Yue.
Holding Zhu Yue to sit on the grass, Meng Jiaze also sat down next to him, so that Zhu Yue could lean against him, and the two of them enjoyed the wind by the river for a while.
"After walking around for so long, is Xiaoyue tired?"
"I'm not tired, I'm so happy, brother." Zhu Yue leaned on his shoulder, the light of the river lamp reflected in his eyes, and he smiled brightly and beautifully: "Today is my happiest day."
Meng Jiaze put the river lantern in his arms, feeling a little nervous, "What wish does Xiaoyue want to make?"
Will Xiaoyue tell me?Will there be me in his wish?
"But brother, Xiaoyue can't write." There was no sadness in Zhu Yue's words, and she even smiled.
But Meng Jiaze felt distressed.He held Zhu Yue's hand and warmed it with his own body.These hands are not as delicate as a woman's, they are carefully maintained every day, and they are not as rough as a man's, holding a pen and knife.
All his little Yue can do every day is just sit in that small yard, envious of other people's lives.
But he never gives up on himself because of this kind of life. The things he shares with himself every day are happy, what delicious food he ate, what jokes he heard...
The whole person is sunny and well-behaved, like a grass tenaciously drilled out of the cracks in the rocks.
But how could this be so?
Xiaoyue should rely on herself, complain to him when she is bullied, and cry in his arms when she is sad, instead of growing up strong alone...
18. A token of love
The soft moonlight casts white light on the river.
Meng Jiaze hugged Zhu Yue's waist, and promised in his ear: "Xiaoyue, brother promises, I will take you out to see thousands of rivers and mountains in the future, and we will travel the north and south of the river together, okay?"
After I take revenge, I don't want any throne or power, so I'll just stay with Xiaoyue all the time, okay?
With a sore heart, Zhu Yue's voice was a little soft: "Then, that brother must keep his word."
"Of course." Meng Jiaze responded
The door closed, and Zhu Ling pushed the wheelchair away behind Zhu Yue. He was relieved that the young master came back intact. He was a talkative person, so he asked curiously, "Master, do you know that benefactor?"
"I know, brother's name is Meng Jiaze." He remembered it clearly.
Zhu Ling didn't have a good relationship with the other servants because he was protecting Zhu Yue, and he didn't recognize Meng Jiaze's identity, so he nodded and said in agreement, "Mr. Meng is really a good man."
Thinking of the people in the mansion, he felt sorry for the young master again: "The young master didn't come back last night, the eldest young master and the others still acted as if they had nothing to do with me, even the master didn't send anyone out..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a frivolous voice: "Hey, didn't you come back, but aren't you a cripple... Did you crawl back?" The speaker specially emphasized the word crawling, lest others would not understand Know the irony in this statement.
Zhu Ling blushed with anger, but Zhu Yue was very calm, without embarrassment at all, and distracted herself to appease Zhu Ling.
For this kind of person, the angrier you are, he will only get more aggressive, just ignore his words.Furthermore, Zhu Hui, the second son of the Zhu family, is arrogant and domineering and is deeply loved, so they can't afford it.
"Tsk tsk, climb all the way from the Moon Appreciation Pavilion... ah!" Zhu Fangjian bent his legs in pain, knelt down on the ground, and gave Zhu Yue a "big gift" with his hands on the ground.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his clothes were covered in dust. He stood up covering his face cursingly: "Who! Who sneaked up on me?!"
After being yelled at by him, no one dared to go over to help him, no matter how far away he was, and the closest friend to him...you just called someone crippled, why did they sneak up on you?
"Hiss... It's really unlucky today, and I haven't come to help me!" It's strange, he clearly felt that someone kicked him.Not daring to stay any longer, he hurriedly leaned on the servant and left.
Back in their own house, Zhu Yue and the two laughed. Their residence is very remote, and they are not afraid of people coming.
"Hahaha, young master, do you still remember his pig's head?"
Zhu Yue nodded. Although she didn't speak, she was in a very good mood. I have to say that the moment Zhu Hui "salted" to him was very refreshing.
The shadow guard hiding on the back of the house hides his figure, hiding his achievements and fame.
That night, the eldest and second young masters of Zhu's mansion waited for a group of people who didn't come back until late at night, so the mansion quickly sent people out to look for them, and almost searched the entire capital, only to find a group of people who were sleeping soundly in the brothel at dawn .
Zhu Shangshu was so angry that he slapped everyone on the spot, "A group of rebellious sons!"
The people who woke up were in distress, they were obviously sent here after being knocked out!
-
On the other hand, Meng Jiaze, who returned to Yonghua Palace after being separated from Zhu Yue, also began to carefully plan his plan.
Because he was worried about Zhu Yue, he didn't finish reading the book, but now he has time to study it slowly.
Skipping over the plot where the protagonist Lu Zhujiao slapped the face, he connected all the important events.Lu Zhujiao came through three years later. At that time, the prince not only had the support of the prime minister, but also controlled part of the military power, and his position was very firm.
Coupled with Lu Zhujiao's modern knowledge, many unprecedented inventions made her an imperial merchant, and the absolute advantages of money, military strength, and the right to speak in the court made Meng Jingyi firmly seated on the throne of the prince.
Whether Lu Zhujiao will pass through is still an unknown question. The prince relied on the prime minister to get the support of many ministers. These two points are not easy to start with, so what he can fight for in advance is military power.
In the book, he also relied on the remaining contacts of the Fu family to control the other half of the military power, and there was a battle of strength.That's right, in the book, he firmly refused to admit that he was the heartbreaker who bullied Zhu Yue.
The opportunity for the prince to gain military power was a battle not long after, when foreign enemies invaded, some hermits came out to join the army one after another. The prince personally led the troops to win and won their loyalty.
Compared with the prince, he believes that he will do better, and now he is trying to find a way to get this opportunity.
Meng Jiaze picked up a pen and began to plan on paper.At this time, he discovered that there was a line of small characters in different colors under the last page of "The Glorious Concubine", which read "Readers' Comments Area".
He focused on it out of curiosity, and a new page opened.It was full of words that he didn't know, such as heroine, hero, affectionate second, etc., and he didn't understand the meaning until after reading it.
The heroine is Lu Zhujiao, the time traveler, and the hero is the prince Meng Jingyi. They are the protagonists of the story, and he... is the villain?
As a villain, his fate was miserable, and he tried to rebel and finally died with all arrows piercing through him.
Interesting, a hint of amusement flashed in Meng Jiaze's eyes, he really wanted to know if the protagonist could defeat him, the vicious villain, in this life.
The invisible world line has quietly changed.
The following days became more regular, preparing for the upcoming war during the day, and climbing over the palace wall at night to "night attack" his future princess.
The sky darkened again, every family began to rest after dinner, ordinary people went to bed early, some wealthy families might light a lamp, and rich families might have some recreational activities.
Zhu Yue sat on the bed, asked Zhu Ling to light a candle for him, and looked in the direction of the window expectantly.
"Young master, don't be impatient, Mr. Meng will come." Zhu Ling looked at his young master's eager eyes and said with a smile.
Since the young master was found that day, Mr. Meng would come to accompany him every night, sometimes with pastries, sometimes with some novelty gadgets, the young master seemed much more cheerful.
There is also the bank note found in the baggage last time, which is a full 1000 taels. He has never seen so much money in his life.With this money, he also secretly improved the young master's life.
Mr. Meng must be the young master of a family who came out to travel, right?What a righteous knight.
It wasn't until Zhu Ling found out that his young master's heart had been taken away by someone that he realized that this "knight-errant" was only interested in his young master.
"Dong dong dong." Someone knocked on the window three times, and the time between each two knocks was three breaths, which was their secret signal.
Zhu Ling opened the window, and Meng Jiaze, dressed in black, rolled in lightly, holding a small bundle in his hand.
"Does Xiaoyue miss me?" Meng Jiaze sat next to Zhu Yue, and kissed the tip of his nose affectionately.
"I miss my brother!" A pair of round eyes were curved with a smile.
Zhu Yue is still used to calling Meng Jiaze brother, and Meng Jiaze is both sweet and distressed about it. Although Xiaoyue calls him brother very sweetly, but judging by the calm expression on his face, you can tell that he is not enlightened at all.
Zhu Ling had already left consciously and closed the door behind him.For some reason, when he saw those two getting along, he always felt that he was awkward and extraneous.
"Try to see if you like this, I picked it specially for you." Meng Jiaze held a piece of green pastry and fed it to Zhu Yue's mouth. There were delicate patterns on the pastry. The taste was sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance was soft and not sticky.
Zhu Yue fell in love with it after just one bite, "Brother, what is this?" "Mung bean cake." Meng Jiaze replied casually.He stole it from the imperial dining room. I heard that it was originally intended to be given to the queen. It seemed to be called jade or something cake. Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as Xiaoyue likes it.
After feeding, Meng Jiaze picked up Zhu Yue and weighed it in his arms.Zhu Yue hugged his neck and asked limply, "What are you doing, brother?"
"Let me see if Xiaoyue has gained weight."
"Has Xiaoyue gained weight?"
"Sigh." Meng Jiaze dragged his little butt, "Who told Xiaoyue not to eat well? After feeding for so many days, Xiaoyue only gained a little weight, only a little flesh on her little butt."
Zhu Yue buried her face on his neck in shame, but she said obediently, "Then I will eat more in the future and try to gain weight."
"Hmm... It's comfortable to hold when you're fat." Meng Jiaze agreed, this is for the benefit of his own future.
The candle was burning quietly, and the orange fire lit up the whole room, bringing a little warmth.
After playing around, Meng Jiaze put Zhu Yue back on the bed, helped someone undress and stuffed it under the quilt, "Xiaoyue should go to bed."
"Brother is leaving?" A hand stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed the hem of his clothes, obviously trying to make people stay.
"Good boy." Meng Jiaze put that hand back under the quilt, "Xiaoyue, go to sleep, I won't leave."
Only then did Zhu Yue close her eyes.
The sun has not yet risen, and a little light spills in through the window paper.
Meng Jiaze opened his eyes, and as no surprise, another clingy man named Zhu Yue was wrapped around him.He left a kiss on the forehead of the person in his arms, and then began to struggle to remove the person from himself without waking him up.
Xiaoyue is usually obedient and clever, why is she so clingy when she sleeps?Meng Jiaze thought that he was distressed, but he was secretly happy.
Taking advantage of the early time, he dug out the Zhu Mansion and went back, but no one found out.It can be seen that practicing martial arts for many years is still very useful in this regard.
16. Pick up the little brother
Seeing his master leave, Ying Yi also came out of the tree where he was hiding, and followed behind Meng Jiaze.
At this time, the sky is still not clear, and ordinary people are still asleep.Both Meng Jiaze and Yingyi are people with outstanding martial arts, and they noticed a trace of restlessness in this supposedly peaceful time.
"Go and have a look." Meng Jiaze's intuition told him that this trip would yield important results.
The two speeded up and headed east.
In the slums of the capital city, a big fat man in luxurious clothes walked ostentatiously with his chubby head, followed by more than a dozen guards holding wooden sticks, a group of people aggressively broke into a dilapidated but clean house .
Xiao Di, the male owner of the house, was awakened by the noise, and quickly woke up his wife, telling her to hide in the room.
"Stop! What are you trying to do?"
The big fat man waved his hand to stop the smasher, opened the fan in his hand and pretended to shake it twice, showing his golden teeth: "What are you doing? Collect protection money."
"Didn't I pay the protection fee?" The next month's protection fee should not be paid at this time.
"I say when to hand it in, I will hand it in at that time. My brother-in-law works in the palace."
Xiao Di gritted his teeth, if he was still the young master of the Xiao family, then it would be his turn to be oppressed by a group of bastards, "I have no money."
What the big fat man was waiting for was his words: "It's okay if you don't have money, you can buy your wife to me, and you won't need to ask for protection money anymore, sir, I will still protect you from now on."
Although the Xiao family is down and out, but Xiao Di's wife is a beauty, she was fascinated when she saw her yesterday, no, she came here before dawn.
"Dream!" Even if he died, he wouldn't let this scoundrel bully Lian Er.
"If you don't eat a toast, you will be fined, call me!"
The sound of falling sticks sounded, and Xiao Di pulled a chair to fight with them.But he is a weak scholar, how can he beat him?
"Husband!" Yun Lian also heard their conversation, and ran out crying, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'll go with you!"
"Lian'er!" Xiao Di spat out a mouthful of blood and said hoarsely, "Don't promise him, go!"
However, where can a weak woman go?There are poor people with no money and no rights around here, who can help him?
Xiao Di clenched his teeth, he hates it so much!If one day he can take revenge, he must tear these people into pieces!No matter what the cost!
"Shh-"
There was a flash of a figure, and the people around Xiao Di fell down one after another clutching their legs, wailing in pain.
After Ying Yi withdrew his sword, he protected Meng Jiaze again. He didn't kill anyone, but the wounds of these people can't be healed without careful treatment.
Meng Jiaze put on the mask, took the sword in Yingyi's hand, and casually but accurately placed the scabbard on the fat man's forehead.
The big fat man was frightened by his eyes as if looking at a dead object, his legs softened and he knelt down, begging for mercy: "Hero, please forgive me, I, I am also following orders! I have seniors and younger ones, big ones Hero, don't kill me!"
Meng Jiaze withdrew his sword, and asked with interest, "There are old and young?"
Well, that might be true.
"That's right! Hero, don't kill me!" The big fat man quickly kowtowed, crying as he kowtowed, his forehead turned red after a few strokes, and he looked very sincere.
"Then I won't kill you." At the moment when the fat man was secretly happy, Meng Jiaze pulled out his sword and picked his tendons, and said calmly, "Since you have children in your family, they will take good care of you."
Terrible pain came from the limbs, and before the big fat man could scream, he found that he could not use his hands and feet. He was crippled.
Meng Jiaze frowned slightly, ignored the pig-killing screams, and looked at the dozen or so thugs on the ground who had regained their mobility, "Why don't you carry him back?"
"Yes, yes, let's go."
After they hurriedly carried the person away, the room became quiet again.
Meng Jiaze glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, but his heart remained unmoved.Tsk, it seems that he is still a cold-blooded person in essence.
Over there, Xiao Di was supported by Yun Lian and knelt down in front of him, "Thank you benefactor for saving me. Now that Xiao has a low status, there is no way to repay him. If there is a chance to make a fortune in the future, I will never forget the benefactor's life-saving grace."
Although he was in adversity, he still had a good posture even when he knelt down, retaining the pride of the son of the aristocratic family.
The surname is Xiao... A name flashed in my mind, and Meng Jiaze asked, "Your name is Xiao Di?"
"It's Xiao."
This is a coincidence.
Ever since he had more books in his mind, he found that he seemed to be able to see the luck lines of others.Although it is impossible to drive away harm and avoid disasters, the amount of luck represents how much a person has achieved in his life.
Of all the people he has come into contact with now, only he and Xiaoyue can't see the luck. Does this mean that their future will be different?
Having said that, he deliberately showed up this time because he took a fancy to the luck of this person, but he did not expect to snatch the crown prince's number one hero in the future.
Xiao Di, his family was wiped out, and he managed to escape with his wife. When he was down, he was robbed of his beloved wife by scoundrels. His wife could not bear the humiliation and died.From then on, Xiao Di kept his name incognito, and was able to take revenge after being appreciated by the prince. Since then, he has been loyal to the prince and helped the prince at all costs.
"You don't have to wait later, I can help you get ahead right now." Meng Jiaze thought about it, and if he asks for help, he should also give some benefits. "I'll help you change your status as a couple, and you can start your official career again."
"Here, you won't be rewarded for nothing..." Xiao Di wasn't afraid that the other party might harbor malicious intentions, but just had a disturbed conscience.
"Don't worry, when you need you, you pack up first, and someone will come and take you away later."
Xiao Di's eyes were shining, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. En!"
After dealing with Xiao Di's matter, Meng Jiaze left with Ying Yi.
As expected, half a month later, there was news from the frontier that foreign enemies had invaded our dynasty and had captured three cities in a row!
"What's your opinion, dear friends?"
"Back to the emperor, this must be called back!"
"My minister agrees."
Most of the courtiers have this idea.
Of course the emperor thought so too. They had been prosperous and prosperous for so many years, how could they be aggrieved to cede land and ask for peace?But, "Is there a general candidate?"
"This..." Since the fall of the Fu family, other rising stars may not be able to take on this important task!
Seeing that the people below looked at each other with no results, the emperor became impatient: "After three days, choose a general and retire!"
In Yonghua Palace, Meng Jiaze knew that his chance had come.
"Master, there is news from Xiao Di that he has successfully become the prince's guest servant."
"Very good, tell him to ask Meng Jingyi to suggest that I lead the army."
"Obey, master."
After they left, Meng Jiaze took out the jade pendant from his bosom.The jade pendant is made of high-quality warm jade, which feels warm to the touch. It is divided into two identical parts.
It was left to him by his mother, who said it would be given to his wife when he got married.
I don't know if she will like Xiaoyue?Surely it will.
The last words she left to herself before she died were to keep herself from being lost in hatred and to live this life well.
-
In the prince's palace, he called all the guests, and a group of people began to discuss, should they go to the frontier to fight?
The prince doesn't have any capable generals here, and if he goes there, he will die. The key is that he, the person recommended by him, will also be implicated, so he can only go in person.It would be great if they could win the battle, but on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, who can guarantee that they will come back alive?
While agreeing to go, while refusing to go, both sides have reasons, and there is no decision at all.
At this time, Xiao Di said: "The reason why His Royal Highness is in trouble is that he only considers the power of himself and the third prince. If the person who goes there has no reliance, this is also feasible."
Meng Jingyi thought it was reasonable and asked, "Then who can do it?"
"Today's Fifth Prince Meng Jiaze's natal family is a family of generals, and his grandfather, Old General Fu, is a generation of heroes. His ability to lead the army is not too bad. The most important thing is that the Fu family is gone, and the Fifth Prince is also a hero in the palace. If it is not helpful, it will not threaten your status."
"What do others think?"
"I feel that Brother Xiao's words are very reasonable." The second undercover agent thought about it "cautiously" and agreed aloud.
"In this case..." Meng Jingyi was still a little worried. He knew what his mother had done to the Fu family. Although Meng Jiaze was still young at the time, no one would tell him, "Then I'll think about it again."
In order to deal with Meng Jingyi's suspicion, Meng Jiaze walked around the palace a few times in the past two days, completely acting out his helpless but innocent deceitful appearance.
Sure enough, that night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had never been here before Meng Jiaze, came to "visit" for the first time with a greeting gift.
"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to be so depressed here, and the servants in the palace don't have eyes! Don't worry, the elder brother will protect you from now on, and tell the elder brother if you need anything." Meng Jingyi looked indignant.
Meng Jiaze looked at his pretentious acting with cold eyes, and changed into a moved expression after the other party looked over, "Really? Thank you, brother."
"There's no need to say thanks between you and my brother." After finishing speaking, he pulled Meng Jiaze and said a lot of greetings.
Although he was overwhelmed, Meng Jiaze finished listening with a smile on his face.
Those who achieve great things must be able to endure first.
-
Half of the candles have been burned, why hasn't my brother come yet?Are you not coming tonight?Zhu Yue was a little sad, and lay down on the quilt to rest for a while.
Zhu Ling had already been sent to rest by him, and he was alone in the whole room, alone.Zhu Yue was a little sad. In fact, he was always alone before, but after having his brother, he no longer wanted to sleep alone, nor did he want to sleep with anyone other than his brother.
"Dong dong dong."
Hearing a familiar voice, Zhu Yue propped herself up, a little anxious: "Brother, wait for me." As she spoke, she was about to drag her body to sit on the wheelchair.
Meng Jiaze felt something was wrong, so he directly lifted the wooden bolt on the window to open it.Seeing Zhu Yue's dangerous movements, he immediately went over to grab him into his arms.
He didn't feel at ease until he put the person on the bed properly, and taught him a lesson: "No, don't do this again." Knowing that he was late, he softened his voice again: "In the future, you can directly tell me about this situation, or send your wishes to me." Zero woke up, got it? Don't just climb into the wheelchair by yourself."
Zhu Yue looked at him flatteringly, with a hint of coquettishness: "Understood, brother, I won't do this next time."
This obedient appearance made Meng Jiaze soften again, "Xiaoyue is the most obedient."
It's all Meng Jingyi's fault, he chattered for a long time, it was all nonsense.
After shirking responsibility in his heart, Meng Jiaze remembered the most important thing: "Xiaoyue, let me take you out for the Lantern Festival tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!" Although Zhu Yue has been staying in the yard due to physical reasons, and was taken out last time and was thrown down, he still wants to go out and play like a normal person.
And this time it's my brother who took him to play, my brother will definitely protect him!
"Okay, then Xiaoyue will come out at night, I will wait for you outside."
After chatting for a while, Meng Jiaze coaxed him to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep when he was lying beside Zhu Yue.
Meng Jingyi will definitely find someone to push him out when he goes to court tomorrow, since the battle over there is urgent, he should leave within a few days.
Zhu Yue, who was sleeping soundly, leaned her upper body unconsciously, until she rubbed into Meng Jiaze's arms and hugged him with satisfaction before continuing to sleep with peace of mind.
Meng Jiaze also moved over to make Zhu Yue sleep more comfortably.
Xiaoyue will be sad when she finds out, right?He thought to himself, maybe he should come to him after the battle, or come and pick him up after the dust has settled?
However, he couldn't help it.
The book only wrote about the situation after the other party married him. At that time, Xiaoyue had already fallen in love with him, but he didn't know how Xiaoyue fell in love with him at all.
What if he came late and Xiao Yue fell in love with someone else?
Xiaoyue can only rely on him alone like now.
17. During the Lantern Festival
"Master!" Zhu Ling returned to the yard panting heavily, calling Zhu Yue as soon as he came in.
"What's the matter, Brother Zhu Ling?" Zhu Yue just woke up not long ago, and was drinking porridge with a bowl. Thinking of what his brother told him last night, he was very happy.
Zhu Ling's eyes flickered a little, and he said: "The master just came back from court and said that the general who will go to the frontier has been determined."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Zhu Yue wondered.
"But, the master said, the general is the fifth prince of the dynasty, Meng Jiaze." Zhu Ling continued cautiously: "Young Master Meng, is he also called by this name?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yue's mind went blank for a moment, and the porridge she was holding fell out of her hand.
When Zhu Ling saw it, he was frightened to death, and ran over to catch it.He also knew that the other party would be very sad, so he joked: "It's okay, young master, what if I got it wrong, maybe it's just that the name is somewhat similar to Mr. Meng."
Zhu Yue didn't listen to what he said at all, no wonder my brother had to wear a mask that time, no wonder my brother had to jump over the wall to come in every time... Although he didn't know the current court movements, he also knew that Zhu's family was on the side of the prince, so what? Isn't the elder brother the opposite?
After thinking wildly for a while, when Zhu Ling became more and more anxious, Zhu Yue came back to her senses, smiled at Zhu Ling, and comforted: "I'm fine."
"Really? Young master, don't think too much. Mr. Meng is so kind to young master, so it's not because he wants to use young master..."
Before Zhu Ling finished guessing, Zhu Yue interrupted with a smile: "Where are you thinking, brother will certainly not use me. I'm fine. In fact, he didn't hide it from me from the beginning, but I didn't recognize it. come out."
Seeing that Zhu Yue was really not sad, Zhu Ling handed him the porridge, and said with peace of mind: "The young master will drink it first, and I will clean up the house."
"I wish Brother Zero a lot of hard work."
"fine."
Zhu Yue drank the sweet porridge in the bowl, and the last trace of sadness dissipated. Perhaps he should be thankful that he was just a little transparent person who was not valued in Zhu's family, and would not be forced by the family to stand against his brother in the future.
With anticipation, time seems to be much harder. Zhu Yue waited for a long time before the sun finally set.
After dinner, under the urging of Zhu Yue, Zhu Ling had no choice but to speed up to pack his things, and went out with the very excited young master.
In Zhu's mansion, Zhu Yue, as the only concubine who has no backing from his mother's family and is disabled, is a little transparent in the eyes of everyone. In addition, he is also silent. Disdain to target him.
Therefore, no one cares when they leave and come back.
Zhu Ling pushed the young master's wheelchair and successfully sent Zhu Yue out. After a certain distance from Zhu's mansion, a man in white clothes and half a silver mask appeared in front of them.
Meng Jiaze also took good care of himself for this Lantern Festival. He looked handsome and attractive even with a mask on.
"Brother!" Upon seeing this figure, Zhu Yue recognized him and waved happily.He didn't see Meng Jiaze's careful thoughts tonight, because his brother was always the prettiest in his heart.
Meng Jiaze walked over and took over Zhu Ling's task of pushing the wheelchair. Although half of his face was covered, the eyes that were exposed were still gentle and doting.
"Has Xiaoyue dressed enough? It's colder at night than during the day."
"Enough to wear! Brother, let's go play!"
The two walked away talking and laughing, and Zhu Ling found out that Mr. Meng also brought someone here. The man was dressed in black, with a serious face, and looked very indifferent.
Zhu Ling was a talkative person, so he couldn't help but talk to him: "Brother, my name is Zhu Ling, what's your name? Are you a servant too?"
Ying glanced at him, and said calmly: "Ying Yi, the master's bodyguard."
Zhu Ling never thought of going to the shadow guard at all, and asked with bright eyes: "Wow! Brother, are your martial arts also very good? Can you see if I can learn martial arts? Can you teach me two tricks, I used to... ..."
"You're not good at all, you can't learn." Ying Yi interrupted him impersonally.
But Zhu Ling was not shocked at all, so he changed the subject and continued: "Oh, it doesn't matter if I can't learn, my biggest ideal is to make money, I always wanted to change my name to Zhu Fugui, otherwise I can also wish you money and get rich. .”
The other party didn't reply to him, and he didn't care. He said to himself very happily: "It's a pity that the name was obtained by the supervisor, and he even gave me a zero... By the way, brother, is your name also randomly obtained?" ? The two of us, one and one, are quite a match..."
Ying Yi, who could hold a knife to his neck with no expression on his face, frowned for the first time.
Meng Jiaze noticed the commotion behind him, smiled and said to Zhu Yue: "Zhu Ling is quite suitable for my guards, one talk more and one talk less."
"I wish Brother Ling is well. When I was young, no one played with me, and he was the one who accompanied me."
Meng Jiaze bought a bunch of candied haws and gave it to Zhu Yue, Xiao Yue just glanced at it. "It's okay, I'll be here from now on."
I will protect you, Xiaoyue.
The Lantern Festival is a very lively day. The main streets of the capital are filled with all kinds of lanterns, and candles are lit inside the lanterns to make them brightly lit.
The number of people gradually increased, and Zhu Yue was inconvenient in a wheelchair, so Zhu Ling and Yingyi were alone to protect him.
A young man in Yushu Linfeng was pushing a wheelchair, and the cute boy sitting in the wheelchair called him brother, so that should be his brother.Coupled with Meng Jiaze's doting eyes, they are so gentle and considerate that many young ladies and gentlemen look at him frequently.
This came out with a guard, and he has a good temperament. He must be the young master of a rich family. If he is lucky, he is the son of a minister's family. It would be good to marry him even if he is a concubine and emperor.
Because the first emperor was very masculine, he married several wives despite the protests of his officials, and the most favored one was even named emperor, so the Dayuan Dynasty was quite laissez-faire with Longyang's favor.People are also accustomed to marrying male wives, but after all, a man can't bear children and can't be the master.
The Lantern Festival is nominally a festival of lanterns, but in fact it is just a place for blind dates.If there is a girl who likes it, she will give him a lantern. If the girl accepts it, the man can prepare to propose marriage.
There are many stalls on the side of the road to buy lanterns, as well as places to buy various snacks and snacks.Meng Jiaze took Zhu Yue around, tried all kinds of snacks, and finally pushed him to a stall selling lanterns.
He had observed it just now, and the lanterns at this booth were the best.
As soon as the footsteps stopped, a soft and boneless female voice came from the side: "My lord, I like this lantern very much. You are willing to buy it and give it to me."
A white and tender hand pointed to a lantern painted with peonies. The owner of the hand was a fair-skinned and beautiful young lady who was looking at Meng Jiaze with those peach blossom eyes.
Meng Jiaze glanced at her and didn't look at her again. He turned his head and bent down to hug Zhu Yue, so that he could see all the lanterns: "Xiaoyue see if there is anything she likes, if not, we will go somewhere else."
The meaning of refusal is very clear.
The lady knew she had no chance, so she left.The other people who were secretly watching also took a break, they couldn't even look at such a good-looking person, it seems that they have a fiancée.
Zhu Yue hugged Meng Jiaze's shoulders tightly. For some reason, the way that woman looked at his brother made him feel very uncomfortable and depressed.He couldn't figure it out, so he could only mutter to Meng Jiaze, "Brother, why did that sister ask you to buy her a lantern?"
Zhu Ling smiled and said, "Master, that lady must have taken a fancy to Mr. Meng."
But Mr. Meng is a prince, how could he fall in love with these ordinary people.
Meng Jiaze glanced at him, a little displeased, Zhu Ling immediately shut his mouth.Then he said to Zhu Yue in a gentle voice: "Hey, listen to me, that sister must have admitted the wrong person, so don't worry about her."
"Is that so?" Zhu Yue still believed in him, but Zhu Ling's words also left a small lump in his heart.
"Well, let Xiaoyue choose lanterns."
Unable to figure it out, Zhu Yue put this matter behind her and began to concentrate on choosing lanterns.
Not long after, he fell in love with a gardenia lantern.
"Young master has a good eye. This gardenia is evergreen all the year round, with large, white flowers and a strong fragrance, implying a long and lasting relationship." The boss is a good speaker, and his words are made up so that people can't tell the truth.
"Brother, I want this!" Zhu Yue already had a familiar feeling about it, but after listening to the boss's words, he wanted it even more. His relationship with his brother will last forever!
"Okay." Meng Jiaze also saw this flower for the first time, but he liked it very much when he saw it. He took out the money and handed it to the boss, handed the lantern to Zhu Yue, and asked solemnly: "Xiao Yue, would you accept my gift?" Is there a lantern for you?"
Zhu Yue didn't quite understand his deep meaning, and after receiving the lantern, she kissed Meng Jiaze on the cheek, "Yes! Thank you brother."
Feeling the softness on his face that was ready to leave, Meng Jiaze froze for a moment, and then felt a little sour.
Xiaoyue, do you know what you are accepting?
The cool evening wind blew, and the hanging lanterns shook gently, and the river lanterns on the river floated into the distance.
In addition to the lanterns in the Lantern Festival, another well-known feature is the river lanterns. Write your wishes on them. As long as the river lanterns float far enough, your wishes will come true.
Meng Jiaze brought Zhu Yue to the grass by the river, and Ying Yi and Ying Yi were arranged a little further away by him, and now there were only him and Zhu Yue.
Holding Zhu Yue to sit on the grass, Meng Jiaze also sat down next to him, so that Zhu Yue could lean against him, and the two of them enjoyed the wind by the river for a while.
"After walking around for so long, is Xiaoyue tired?"
"I'm not tired, I'm so happy, brother." Zhu Yue leaned on his shoulder, the light of the river lamp reflected in his eyes, and he smiled brightly and beautifully: "Today is my happiest day."
Meng Jiaze put the river lantern in his arms, feeling a little nervous, "What wish does Xiaoyue want to make?"
Will Xiaoyue tell me?Will there be me in his wish?
"But brother, Xiaoyue can't write." There was no sadness in Zhu Yue's words, and she even smiled.
But Meng Jiaze felt distressed.He held Zhu Yue's hand and warmed it with his own body.These hands are not as delicate as a woman's, they are carefully maintained every day, and they are not as rough as a man's, holding a pen and knife.
All his little Yue can do every day is just sit in that small yard, envious of other people's lives.
But he never gives up on himself because of this kind of life. The things he shares with himself every day are happy, what delicious food he ate, what jokes he heard...
The whole person is sunny and well-behaved, like a grass tenaciously drilled out of the cracks in the rocks.
But how could this be so?
Xiaoyue should rely on herself, complain to him when she is bullied, and cry in his arms when she is sad, instead of growing up strong alone...
18. A token of love
The soft moonlight casts white light on the river.
Meng Jiaze hugged Zhu Yue's waist, and promised in his ear: "Xiaoyue, brother promises, I will take you out to see thousands of rivers and mountains in the future, and we will travel the north and south of the river together, okay?"
After I take revenge, I don't want any throne or power, so I'll just stay with Xiaoyue all the time, okay?
With a sore heart, Zhu Yue's voice was a little soft: "Then, that brother must keep his word."
"Of course." Meng Jiaze responded
