After a while, only the sound of footsteps outside approaching from far away, Qi Heli walked in the door, saw Jiang Mengzhen leaning on the bed from a distance, took two quick steps with his feet, and then paused again, wanting to get closer but not As if daring to step forward.

It wasn't until Jiang Mengzhen stretched out his hand to him that Qi Heju hurried forward, grabbed his hand and said, "Are you better? Are you still uncomfortable?"

Jiang Mengyou watched coldly from the side. She couldn't judge whether Qi Heli's cautious gesture was true or not. She had seen a strange beast in the palace before, which could change color according to the environment it was in. At that time, she thought it was very novel. , Later, when I think about the cunning and hypocrisy in human nature, it is far better than that.The wives and concubines often gossip about the back house. At a certain time, they often talked about a person who never forgets his dead wife and has deep-rooted love. The world calls it affectionate, and everyone is envious when talking about it. Who knows that someone later went to the government to sue him. Prostitute/wife and daughter, it turns out that this person has touched all the maids and servants at home, and even his wife is mad at him!

People's hearts are unpredictable, and the more she knows about the secrets of the back house and the palace, the more frightened she is by the evil of human nature.In comparison, the fact that the mother-in-law was mean and the maid was crawling on the bed was not worth mentioning. It just made her own brother angry.

"Come on, let's talk. I'll take Brother Yu and leave first." She picked up her son and didn't look at Qi Heji, but said to Jiang Mengzhen: "Remember to promise me that Brother Yu will ask for my uncle at night." of."

"I know."

Qi Heju hurriedly bowed, "Thank you sister for taking care of Mengzhen..."

"I'm not honored by you. It's only natural for me to take care of my younger brother. Brother Yu said that he wants to keep my little uncle for a lifetime!"

As she walked away, Qi Hesi pursed his lips and sat beside Jiang Mengzhen's bed, touched his fingertips, and said after a long time: "...I thought I would never see you again."

"But if you have a fever and a cold, you can die of illness so easily..."

"What nonsense!" Qi He was extremely anxious, "I mean, you don't want to see me, or my sister won't let you see me..."

"My sister is for my own good."

"I naturally know that my sister is doing it for your own good...it's all my fault, and I treat you badly."

"Actually, you treated me..." Jiang Mengzhen didn't know what to say, if Qi Heju really treated him badly, he wouldn't be so sad that night, "...That's all."

Both of them fell silent, and Qi Heju said after a while: "Ten days later, the martial arts competition of Habayashi Wei will be held in the martial arts arena in the west of the city. Can you come and see me?" Jiang Mengzhen didn't speak yet, He rushed to say again: "I will not embarrass you, I will definitely take the first place and show you!"

Jiang Mengzhen nodded and said hello, Qi Heju was very happy in an instant, they hadn't seen each other for more than two months, and time covered up the cracks, both of them missed each other in their hearts, but they were like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl who met, there were too many things to say, and they didn't know where to start How to talk about it, but I can't speak.

In fact, Jiang Mengzhen has a gentle temperament, and Qi Heju puts him at the top of his heart. If there were not so many mistakes, they might not be a loving couple. It's a pity that because of their backgrounds, one is reserved and the other is inferior and paranoid. There are too many things that are difficult to talk about, causing misunderstandings and doubts to accumulate, and eventually reach an irreversible situation.

The dignified servants in the palace came in several times, delivering tea, medicine, and pastries. Qi Heju knew that this was Jiang Mengyou's faceless visitor, so he boldly slapped Jiang Mengyou on his face. She kissed lightly, and said softly with reddened cheeks, "I'm leaving first... Remember to come after ten days, I'll be waiting for you, I've been waiting for you."

After Qi Heju left, Jiang Mengzhen lay quietly on the bed in a daze. He touched the kissed place on his cheek with his hand, and his heart seemed to be filled with soft and white cotton—he was always soft-hearted for Qi Heju, It was precisely because of this soft heart that the feeling of disappointment at that time was like wet cotton falling heavily in my heart, broken and tangled into a ball.

Maybe the matter of Yan Zhi and Zhu Hen was really a misunderstanding?Jiang Mengzhen just had this idea in his mind, and then he laughed at himself, this is really good, the scar forgets the pain!He suppressed the feeling of jitteriness in his heart, and forbade himself to have any extravagant hopes and fantasies—if he gave up his sincerity like before, he might end up losing everything in the end.

On the day of the Habayashi Weiwu election, Qi Heju wore a black dress with arrow sleeves and a waist, with his hair standing up high, and went to the martial arts field alone with his gun.No one in the Qi family cared about this selection. In their eyes, only the imperial examination was the right way. How could it be possible to choose the kung fu of a three-legged cat after a few tricks?

The candidates were all descendants of aristocratic families, and the ostentation was very grand. When the lottery was drawn, Qi Heju stood out from the crowd of young men who came to report for the master, standing out from the crowd.Around the martial arts arena, relatives and friends of the candidates sat down to greet each other one after another, and they were all well-dressed and wearing gold and jade. Some familiar brothers and sisters gathered together, and many people asked: "Who is wearing black?" Yes, whose family is it?"

"My brother said he didn't know him. He probably wasn't the one who hung out with them and rode horses and cockfighted all day long..."

"Could it be that he came from another province? Even though he's standing among the servants, he doesn't look like a servant!"

"Looking at the wasp waist and monkey back, tall and light, she really has a beautiful posture, I don't know what the front face looks like..."

While talking, everyone looked at Qi Heju's back from the corners of their eyes, and his thin and powerful waist made people secretly blush.Qi Heju quickly received the pair of cards, turned around and walked into the arena. The group of peeking people first saw a pair of cold star-like pupils, bright, dark, and breathtaking. They all said "ah" in unison. There was a sound, and then someone stared at him boldly, and someone quickly lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Qi Heli didn't know that many people were looking at him. Unlike Jiang Mengzhen, a beauty who lived in praise since childhood, his perception of his appearance was still that of that hairy child who was disgusted by gouache and rouge. In fact, even if he grows better now, it is still limited, so he really doesn't understand what Zhu Hen likes about him, and he doesn't know that he has become a handsome gentleman with flying eyebrows and a heroic appearance before he knows it. He is tall and straight, and compared with scholars, he has a tough and neat chic.

He searched for Jiang Mengzhen's figure in the stands, and his eyes collided with people repeatedly. Qi Heju didn't care at all, and he only hoped that Jiang Mengzhen would come earlier, but it caused many people in the banquet to exclaim and shout at each other. joke.

A fat-headed and big-eared boy leaned forward, "My lord, my young master asks you to talk over there..."

Qi Heju frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Who is your young master?"

"It's easy to say, my young master is the youngest son of the grand master of the court, and he is here to participate in the election today. He is in the same team as you in the first competition..." The boy glanced at Qi Heji's pair of cards, and lowered his voice Said: "The young master means, 2000 taels, how about it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, just let you put water under your hands..."

Qi Heju snorted, and was about to leave with his gun in hand. The servant hurriedly laughed and said, "I know, the masters who come here today are all from good families...or five thousand? Give the grand master a face!"

At the beginning, Qi Heju lost his face, but he only begged 50 taels from his mother. 5000 taels was a lot of money to him, but Qi Heju only thought it was ridiculous at the moment, and his sweetheart was about to come Watching him compete, Habayashi Wei is the first step for him to prove that he has the ability to create a world for Jiang Mengzhen. How can money be measured?

"Don't waste your time, even if it's 50 or [-], don't even think about me giving up!"

"You are toasting and not eating fine wine!" The young servant immediately changed his face, and the children of the aristocratic family were also divided into three or six grades. When he saw that there were no servants around Qi Heju, he despised three points in his heart, and turned back to the crowd. After making a face, four or five burly men immediately surrounded him. Everyone's temples were slightly protruding, and their palms were covered with thick calluses. They looked like hard-working kung fu practitioners, "Interrupt You have one leg, let's see how you compete on stage!"

Qi Heju pursed his lips and clenched his gun tightly. In fact, if he said that he was the son of Qi Shangshu, the new son-in-law of the Marquis of Jiangling, and the brother-in-law of the Prince of Jin, his status would be noble enough among the children of aristocratic families. Zui Ji remained silent, letting the group of people drag him out of the martial arts arena.

"I thought you were amazing, but you're just a coward!"

Dodging the patrolling officers outside the martial arts arena, several big men raised their big fists and greeted Qi Heli mercilessly, but their eyes were blurred, and everyone felt that the gleaming spear tip was aimed at them eyes pierced over!

Qi He hurriedly forced one person back with the tip of his gun, and knocked down another person with the butt of his gun, and escaped from the encirclement in an instant, "You will be disqualified for fighting in the arena, thank you for being thoughtful."

A long / spear made him use it like a dragon, and only then did the thugs know that he was not afraid, it was obviously a bold person with high skills, and he didn't take them seriously at all!These people know the hardships of practicing martial arts best, they never imagined that such a young and capable person in the aristocratic family would be beaten so miserably and embarrassingly.

"Don't you want me to have a leg? Reciprocity, I want you to have a foot, is it fair?" Qi Heju shot/pointed his gun, and the ankles of several people shattered.At this time, a bell rang, and the competition in the martial arts arena was about to begin. He put away his gun and walked away, but he didn't want someone behind him to throw a dart, which hit Qi Heji's left shoulder!

Jiang Mengzhen went out of the gate of the palace, and before he got into the carriage, he heard someone calling him: "Mengzhen...Hua Xu, please stay!"

Only Wu Xichun would call him that. Jiang Meng paused at his feet, and saw Wu Xichun jumped out of the carriage that hadn't stopped. Come on, I went to Qi’s house to look for you yesterday but I couldn’t find you, and I can’t see you again today, I really don’t know what to do!”

"What's going on?" Jiang Mengzhen held his cold hand and said worriedly: "Have you cried before? Go into the mansion, wash your face and drink some hot tea before talking..."

When the two returned to the palace, Wu Xichun kept holding Jiang Mengzhen's hand tightly, and the always lively person became haggard and bewildered. "Mengzhen, what should I do..." Wu Xichun opened his mouth, tears fell on the table with a mournful voice, "An Zhiyuan...he wants to take a concubine!"

Jiang Mengzhen was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Why did he tell you about this? Is he...is there someone already? Did you find any clues?"

"I thought... I thought we were fine, I thought it was enough for him to have me alone, I haven't heard from my stomach all these years, and he, he didn't say anything," Wu Xichun sobbed and said: "But before Some days, he suddenly said that I have nothing to do these few years, and he wants to take a concubine to come in and have children..."

"Should you have talked about children over the years, right? I remember Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. I mentioned this, and you said you were not in a hurry..."

"This is what I'm most angry about!" Wu Xichun couldn't help but patted the table, "I asked him about the child before, and he just said that he didn't want the child to disturb our relationship. Anyway, he was still young, and the government was full of infighting and various forces. It's the same if I ask for it in a few years... Why is it that I want to take a concubine all of a sudden now! If he wants a child, shouldn't he ask someone to recuperate me first? Could it be that he doesn't want a concubine but only a concubine? Besides, you Look at my mole, it's so red! How can you decide that I can't have children?!"

"Don't worry, take a sip of tea to calm your breath." Jiang Mengzhen tapped the bright red pregnancy mole on the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, "Don't worry, this mole is born so well, you are definitely not a childless... ...I just want to ask you, did he just have this idea to discuss with you? Or has he already taken a fancy to someone?"

"Speaking of this, you have seen the person he mentioned..."

"Who is it?" Several images suddenly flashed in Jiang Mengzhen's mind, and he lost his voice: "It can't be Li Qingluo?"
