marry a weak waist
Chapter 33 Diseased Bones
In fact, the identities and names of sisters Zhang Yinlian and Sister Zhang Yinlian were used, but they were sent back to their hometown in Wuxi to clean up.Indeed, there is no need to be so neither near nor far, neither distant nor distant.
Meng Yu couldn't tell, there was no love, and as for sex, it wasn't so strong that it couldn't be controlled.He turned around and looked at Yinlian through the dim and dim candlelight, her tearful eyes shone with a little sunshine.
It's really not like Meng Tiao, Meng Tiao's eyes are never sunny in the smoke.In fact, he prefers to sit down and talk quietly with Yinlian about his dreams. She listened quietly, and it seemed that all the anguish accumulated in his heart was poured out.
But at this moment, it is a bit inappropriate to say it. No woman is like a dream, and they are indeed much more fragile than her.He had no choice but to walk back slowly with helpless laziness all over his body, "Then what do you want me to do?"
He sat back on the folding chair in front of the bed, leaned his back, put his arms on the armrests, and opened his chest, a little penniless and not afraid of coercion.He is loveless and is not afraid of blackmailing her.
Yinlian lowered her head, showing half of her pink neck, "I don't ask you to do anything, but I just want you to say something."
"What?" Meng Yu raised his eyebrows.
Yinlian buried her head lower, was silent for a moment, then raised her head vigorously, her eye circles were still red, "What do you really think of me?"
At this moment, Meng Yuduo hopes that Mengyu asked him, or he asked Mengyu, it doesn't matter.However, they are not as brave as the weak Yuyiyi girl in front of them.For this reason, it is difficult for him to say a hurtful word, but he just keeps silent without refusing to welcome.
She remained silent for a long time, but Yinlian was forced to put all her eggs in one basket.She smiled, a tear rolled out of her eyes, and looked at him with a crooked face, "As long as you don't dislike me, I will be happy."
Saying so, she got off the bed and threw herself on his lap, sobbing softly with her face on her lap, "I was writing a letter asking for help, thinking you were just sending the people under your command here. I thought, if you don’t come, if I am saved, I will go back to my hometown in Wuxi and never see you again. I don’t want you to come here again. Why did you come?”
She asked, as if she didn't want to know the answer, she still put her face against his leg, and didn't even lift her eyes, "Why did you come? You came, and I have nowhere to go from now on. I can be by your side now."
She leaned on his lap like a duckweed leaning on a solitary rock, and smiled persistently to herself, "I'm not greedy, I don't want your money, I don't want any status, I just want to follow you. The wife is willing to accept it, even if she asks me to go into the mansion and make her a shoe-handling girl, I am also willing, I just want to guard you..."
The remaining tears in his eyes wet Meng Yu's legs, and the warmth and moistness flicked a little bit of his lust.He raised Yinlian's face and looked at her for a while, but he still didn't understand her. In his opinion, she was just as stupid as a kitten or puppy, and she accepted the Lord with a little favor.
However, anyone who faces such a weak life who entrusts the power of life and death to himself will inevitably feel compassion.He bent his back and kissed the slightly scratched mouth.
When the pleasure of the body swept over violently, there was only an empty heart left, and this simple canopy bed suddenly became boundless.He hugged Yinlian in his arms, relying on her warm and soft jade body to drive away his emptiness.
This is something Mengyuan can't do, on the contrary, the closer he gets to Mengyuan, the more empty he feels.Therefore, for the first time, he felt that he had betrayed Meng Tiao.
It is also from this night that the clouds and rain are scattered, and the horizon gradually ends.
There was another day's delay in the post house, and the next day Meng Yu sent someone to hitch up a carriage for the return trip.Sitting in the car with Yinlian, Yinlian just took his arm and put her head on his shoulder.The mountain wind lifted the curtain of the car, and clumps of early-blooming wild flowers came into view. She smiled contentedly and hummed an unknown Jiangnan tune.
Looking up, Meng Yu's brows were lightly knotted, as if she was preoccupied.She thought to herself, then smiled, "Don't worry, I'll go back to live in Yunsheng Lane. When will you explain to your wife, and when will you come to pick me up. I can afford to wait."
Meng Yu glanced down and smiled faintly, "Since I promised you, I will definitely pick you up, don't worry."
Seeing that he was not happy, Yin Lian straightened her body and tilted her face, "Are you afraid that your wife will blame you?"
He sighed and leaned against the wall of the car, "She won't blame her."
"Then what's the problem?" Yin Lian pursed her lips and lowered her chin lightly, "If there's any problem, I'll still live in Yunsheng Lane. I just hope that you will come to see me often."
Meng Yulai looked at her and hugged her back into his arms, "There's nothing embarrassing." He shook off his messy thoughts and smiled sternly, "The house still needs to be tidied up, so I'm afraid I'll take you in later. There is something I want to tell you, my wife has a bad temper, and even I dare not provoke her when she gets angry. If she teaches you, you have to be more obedient and don't stand up to her, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
Yinlian laughed suddenly, her bright eyes flickered, "Is the wife very fierce?"
"Not fierce, treat people politely."
"Then what's there to be afraid of?" Yinlian said in her mouth, she thought about it for a while, and then nodded solemnly, "She is a wife, and she should be a little dignified. I respect her and don't make her angry. They will never look for me. It's just that there are old lady and Miss Mei in the mansion, I'm afraid of these two."
Meng Yu laughed heartily, "The two of them don't have time to worry about such matters. You just go to greet the old lady on time. As long as you behave well, you don't have to be afraid."
As he said that, he opened the curtain to look at the sky, where the smoke and mist were misty, and he turned his thoughts back to the old net.He muttered in a low voice, "I asked someone to deliver a letter home, but I don't know if my wife has received it."
"As soon as I received it, those officers and soldiers will go back quickly, it won't be long."
Meng Yu listened idly, her brows furrowed again, and innumerable clues knotted in her forehead.Outside the window, the winter has passed, and it is chaotic and green again, with morning sun everywhere, emerald green mountains and old smoke.
The Meng family received the news of Meng Yu's success in suppressing the bandits a few days after Yuan's Eve, the housekeeper didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to pass a message to Caiyi.
When Caiyi came to Mengtiao's room to tell the story early in the morning, it happened that Mengtiao was sitting on the bed tidying up the clothes. The few clothes and some cheap hair and clothes he brought were all placed in the indigo burlap and lived in two corners. A bundle!So I packed up all the messy and soft emotions these days.
Looking forward, it was the dream of the past again, the corners of the lips were smiling but not smiling, and the eyes were as light as cold mist, "Pack up your things too, let's go back."
Caiyi hurried over, "Are you going back now? Did you tell Brother Ping?"
"Talk to him later."
"New Year's Eve is just over." Caiyi put one hand on the screen beside the bed, lowered her head and pouted slightly.
Meng Yu suddenly raised her voice in a high-pitched voice, as if holding a needle, poking down at a dream bubble, "Isn't it just right to go back after the New Year's Eve? You have lived here for half a month, and you even forgot your home." ?”
"No, no, no..." Caiyi lowered her hands and sat on the edge of the bed, "I was just about to tell you that there is a word from home that Master is safe and well, and will be returning home soon."
Meng Tiao was silent, went to the table and turned over a teacup to pour tea, the water dripped, "Where is the person he wants to save?"
"It must have been rescued. I heard that dozens of bandits were all strangled." Caiyi couldn't see her expression, paused, and asked again: "Let's go back, what happened to Brother Ping? Ma'am But I forgot to take advantage of Brother Ping. I see that you and Brother Ping are getting so close these few days, isn't it a good time to push the boat along?"
This is exactly where people are in a dilemma. Meng Yuan's "beauty trap" has gradually become a whirlpool out of control, and she knows very well that she may no longer be able to calmly be a catcher and keep her own life.
She was inexperienced in this situation and had to delay.So I had to avoid it.
She took a sip of hot tea, and her tone continued slowly, "There is no need to rush things, but you seem to be looking forward to getting things done sooner, are you not used to living in that small courtyard?"
Caiyi lowered her face, as if talking in her mouth, hesitating whether to say or not.After thinking about it for a while, he finally said, "No, it's because when I see my wife is with brother Ping, she seems more comfortable and smiling. I think my wife is always happier when she is with brother Ping."
"Look at your silly words, do I always have a straight face?" Meng Yu snorted and didn't care.
"That's not true, it's just that this smile is different from the one at home."
Meng Tiao was startled, turned her slender waist slightly, and saw herself in the full-length mirror under the wall.He is holding a bun tied in an empty cage, with two plain pearls on his hairpin, and he is not even wearing a pair of Erpan. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, like a contemptuous and sad crescent moon.
She was smiling all the time, even she had never seen her before.
The brilliant sun came in through the window and folded on her eyelids, and the lifeless light inside shivered slightly before falling down again.She sat on the couch, sighed, and waited stubbornly for Dong Mo to come over so that she could tell him about returning home.
After noon, Dong Mo didn't come to this room. He was discussing with Liu Chaoru about his old master's reply in the study.
He read it first, his brows became more and more sad, and the wind in the sleeves was a little bleak, so he handed the letter to Liu Chaoru.Liu Chaoru pushed, "I don't like your family letter, you just tell me."
Dong Mo frowned, and smiled tiredly, "My family letter has never been written in the family, you just read it."
After taking a look, it turns out that the writing is alienated, the wording is cold, and it seems to be a business attitude, without even a word of greeting.
Liu Chaoru read it, put the letter back on the desk, and turned around, "It seems that your old man is just as we expected, Meng Yu is most likely to be worshiped by Chu Pei, the servant of the household department, it is strange that he is so unrestrained. "
"The Secretary of the Household Department spoke to the Holy Majesty because of the shortfall in military pay the year before, and his words were fierce, and he meant to accuse the Holy Majesty of not being diligent in his administration. It made the Holy Majesty unhappy, so Chu Pei took advantage of the loophole, and now he is the one who makes the decisions under the Household Department. At the beginning of last year, he was enlisted in the cabinet again, and it was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, and his disciples naturally became a little more publicized."
Liu Chaoru said: "With such a backer in the court, it's strange that your old man wants you to come to Jinan. I'm afraid other people will not dare to step into this muddy water. What are your plans now?"
Having said that, Dong Mo got up from the chair of the grand master, "I asked Mr. Shao to keep an eye on the shortfall in the salt field, the shortfall in the salt tax. I think you are the county magistrate, and you can start with a few salt merchants in this city."
Liu Chaoru thought about it, nodded in response, "The yamen has confiscated fertile land for sale, and I just want to contact them."
After the two finished talking, Dong Mo sent him to the door, and then turned to Meng Tiao's room. There was a bright yellow sun, shaded by a pergola, and the shadow turned away.
The lingering rhyme of Yuanxi is still there, the sheng and flute have not stopped, the jade pipes have started again, I don’t know whose house the spring is in, and the walls are full of noise.It's quiet here in Meng Tiao, the courtyard is full of golden crows, and a window is slanted, which makes Dong Mo feel a little discouraged.
Entering the room, I saw someone lying on the window sill, twisting his waist and picking at the window screen.There was a cold cup of tea on the kang table, Dong Mo walked over, picked it up and ate it, "I'm not coming, are you bored?"
Meng Tiao straightened her body, looked at his hands, "This tea has been sitting here for half a day, it's already cold."
But he doesn't care about it, "Boiling water and cooking tea can't heat up the world's cold state."
Meng Tiao took a closer look at his eyes, it was a little bleak, but there was a smile on his face, looking more and more desolate.She felt tense in her heart, and secretly asked, "What are you busy with?"
"Look over here, we had some conversations in the study." Dong Mo flipped up his clothes and sat opposite him, leaning his head on the window sill, the westward sun shining goldenly on his face, brilliant and lonely.
Just talking to Liu Chaoru would definitely not bring out his lonely look.Meng Tiao wanted to inquire about his thoughts, but in the end he didn't open his mouth, and suddenly fell silent.
Dong Mo turned his eyes away, but suddenly wanted to talk to her, "My grandfather has sent a letter with a total of 42 words, none of which is about me."
It was only when I started to realize that those emotions that had been buried for many years were dug up at this moment, as if they had melted into bones, they no longer had a concrete appearance, and I didn't know how to describe them.
He was silent for a moment, and smiled while waving his hands, "Don't say such trivial things. Have you eaten yet?"
Meng Yao cheered up a little, "Are you asking about lunch or dinner?"
Whether it's sooner or later, it's just in the middle of the future, and they don't touch each other.Dong Mo suddenly smiled at her, "I was confused."
He stared into her eyes, remembering the kiss that night, almost like a superficial touch, without a trace, he did not act excessively again.But right now, against the backdrop of a letter from home, she feels more and more like an extra favor from an indifferent fate.
His attitude was gentle and intimate, "The street is lively, shall I take you out for a walk?"
Meng Tiao was speechless, staring at him for a while, suddenly feeling sad.Just like the poor scholar she met on the street last time, she just wanted him to extort some money, but she didn't expect that it was all his property.
Dong Mo also offered all his belongings in front of his eyes - his heart that was still warm.Mengyu held it, feeling hot.She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm going back."
"Where to go?" He was a little surprised.
"Go home." Meng Yu pursed her lips until they were as bright red and moist as rouge, "At that time, I was afraid that there would be many thieves during the New Year's Eve, so I came to your house to avoid them. Now the festival is over. Yes, of course I have to go back. I was going to leave at noon, but I didn't know you would come, so I waited until now. I have to say goodbye in person."
Speaking of this episode, she secretly peeped into his cold eyes, and quickly smiled, "Besides, there are old houses in Wuxi. Although dilapidated, they belong to the ancestors, and there are two relatives there. Yulian and Yulian should go back and visit their parents' graves, I'm afraid it will take a while before they come back."
When I looked up, I saw that there was a burden skin on the round table, which was still as thin as when the Tathagata came.Dong Mo's heart seemed to sink, "At the other end of Little Cicada Alley, you leave the key, and I will send the bed to you after I make the bed here."
Meng Tiao was silent, so he laughed, "Why, are you afraid that I will steal things from your house?"
"What?" She was also a little frustrated, "You also sent a few valuables."
Dong Mo looked at her, and the small kang table in the middle suddenly seemed as high as the sky and the road was far away, and he felt a little bit reluctant to part with it.Then I thought again, so what if I was married?She will come back to him anyway, if he doesn't come back, even if he digs through the loess, he will snatch her back.
So he nodded his head slightly, "That's fine, when I'm done with the work in hand..." He paused again, implying, "Your work is also finished, I'll let the sedan chair carry you over."
Meng Tiao's heart fluttered for a moment, but on the surface he pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, and said jokingly: "Still using a sedan chair? Why didn't I come here?"
He had no choice but to Yang Hua Lve Ying, to dissipate a little bit of loneliness, and make plans for her, "Is the money enough to pay for going back to Wuxi?"
"Enough."
"Where are the carriages and horses? Where can I hire them?"
"When we came over from Wuxi, we knew a driver of a sports car. He is from Wuxi. He has some friendship with my father, so we can trust him. This time we hired his carriage and horses to go back, and we will still hire his carriage and horses back then."
While talking, Meng Yuan got up to get the fur skin.Hearing him also get up, she hurriedly clutched the corner of the bundle, not daring to turn around, "Zhang Ping, don't send me off."
Dong Mo really stopped on the couch, looking at her back, waiting for her low words.After waiting for a long time, she finally buried her head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
He smiled from behind, with a soft voice like warm wind, "I'm here, I'll be there whenever you come back. Give me a message when you come back, and I'll go see you."
"Okay." Meng Tiao replied lightly, twisting the burden and leaving.
When she reached the door, she secretly turned her head to look again.Dong Mo was still sitting inside the carved screen, and the sunlight lowered his entire back.He propped his elbows on his knees, and pressed his chin with his clasped hands, covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes, like stars in the desert night sky.
And his whole being is that empty desert.Mengtiao thinks that she can't be his wild fire.
She is used to deception, deceit, seduction, temptation, and all the dirty methods in the world to survive.Only not used to being loved.All the pains that she could foresee were safe and stable, and she was already prepared to meet them.But the illusory happiness brought by love was so unpredictable that she was helpless.
She wanted to retreat her heart back into the dark well, cut off the light, snuff out expectations, and be absolutely safe.
There is nothing in the world that never changes, even the dark well is quietly changing, she wants to go back, and sometimes things change.
But Meng Tiao didn't realize it, the general was going home with colorful clothes, before he could catch his breath, he saw the old lady rushing over like a galloping horse, and when he entered the door, he looked around, saw Meng Tiao at the dressing table, hurried to go Go forward and shout:
"I said Meng'er! You're finally back! I have something to discuss with you, but I can't find you. I'm so anxious that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for two days in a row!"
Mengyu was exhausted, and her face in the mirror was a little faded, she gave her a light glance, "Mother, what kind of thing is serious, let's talk about it after I have a tea break."
After speaking, he ordered the little girl to serve tea and sit on the couch with the old lady.As soon as her butt was seated, the old lady couldn't bear it anymore, "Young Master was taken by the yamen!"
"Who?"
"Young Master, Chang Shaojun!"
Meng Tiao took a sip of the tea soup in her mouth, turned her mind slowly, and then remembered that she was talking about Chang Xiucai.She frowned lightly, and slowly dipped her handkerchief into her mouth, "Which yamen took him? And why did they take him?"
"The county government in Zhangqiu County took it!" The old lady mentioned it with a look of displeasure, "On the second day of the New Year's Eve, two servants came from Zhangqiu County, saying that Shaojun had committed a lawsuit in Zhangqiu... ...Oh, it means that he cheated in the court that year, and we want to take him back for questioning!"
Meng Yu became more and more confused, "When is the almanac, now I think about it and look it up?"
"It's not! I think they want to commit a crime! I don't know who the young master offended in Zhangqiu's hometown, so he suddenly came to arrest him for no reason. Wouldn't it be a great injustice to strip him of his fame?"
"Didn't you ask Chang Xiucai?"
"He doesn't know who he offended." The old lady clenched her forehead tightly, her face sullen, "I wanted to ask Zhang Mi to ask, but I also thought that Zhang Mi had no relationship with the Zhangqiu County Yamen. I'd better wait for Brother Yu When I come back, ask him to ask someone to find out why. Brother Yu is the mansion, and the top of the mountain is always easier to talk about."
Meng Tiao nodded, thinking of Chang Xiucai's usual behavior, even if he married the old lady, he didn't just coax her money, but seemed a little sincere.Such a person is not like a person who cheats on fame.So he answered the old lady and waited for Meng Yu to come back and tell him.
Meng Yu didn't linger on the road, took advantage of the west wind to raise his whip all the way, and sent Sister Yinlian home in Licheng first, then hurried back to the mansion.
When I entered the door at noon that day, seeing Meng Tiao greeted me at the door, I suddenly felt unspeakable.He paused his steps, smiled at each other twice, and then entered the room with his robes on, "I've been on the road for a few days, and I can't change my clothes in time. Do you see that your body is full of mud spots?"
Meng Tiao also seemed to be a bit born, and it took a while to put her mind back to the behavior between husband and wife, and walked around him, "I see that you seem to have lost some weight."
"Running around all day, how can there be no reason not to be thin?" Meng Yu suddenly picked her up and raised her brows triumphantly, "You've lost two cents in weight, but your strength is not small. Look, you can still hold her in one hand." Move you. You seem to have lost a little bit."
"I've been ill for a while, so I naturally want to lose weight."
"Ill?" Meng Yu hurriedly put her on the couch, and leaned down to look at her face at night, "It's because some of the colors are not good, why are you sick?"
"It's okay for the wind to blow." Meng Yuan avoided his eyes, poured a cup of tea on the kang table and held it to his lips, "Go take a bath and change your clothes, I'll ask someone to prepare a meal for you to eat."
Finally, they asked the girl to prepare for the bath, and ordered someone to prepare meals. After an hour of busy work, the two of them sat down on the couch to eat and talk.When Mengyu talked about Chang Xiucai, it was rare for Meng Yu to put his beak to the old lady, "I think it's better to catch him, so that he won't come and trip my mother all the time."
Meng Yu held the bowl and glanced at him, "I think it would be good for him to stumble on mother. He is a good person, and he is better than those who sing and juggle. He can talk nicely and coax people's money. Mother is no longer as young as she was when she was young. The older she gets, the more confused she becomes, even if she is still sober now, what will happen in the future? Who can say for sure? If she becomes confused, her money can withstand those people's coaxing?"
Meng Yu could only laugh, "Since you say that, I have to bother. I'll send someone to Zhangqiu to ask why. If there's nothing wrong, just let him go. It's not a big deal."
The matter was settled, Meng Yuan moved the chopsticks again.While chewing and swallowing slowly, she glanced at him, "The step family of that damsel was rescued safe and sound?"
"Ah, I've been rescued." Meng Yu was still a little unaccustomed to lying to her. The hand holding her tooth chopsticks paused, and she raised her eyebrows to look at her. How to start.
He knew that even if he said it, she might not be angry, but he was flustered for no reason, and he was afraid that she would not be angry if he said it.Hesitant and anxious here, but Meng Tiao is another set of thoughts——
She thought about going back to this darkened hole, still like before, to set that beating heart out of order.Dong Mo is just the Dong Mo who was deceived by her, his life is just the kind of rich and noble life she pursues, and the husband and wife are still the couple who benefit from each other.Let everything go back to the dull and stable days.
So she put down the bowl slowly, with a sharp smile in her eyes, "I already know, why bother to hide it from me? We took people's names and backgrounds, and it would be heartless not to take care of them. In my opinion, you just take her into It's not cheap to live outside, and people will gossip about her."
Meng Yu held the bowl in silence for a while, then simply asked the girl to put away the kang table, neatly lay on the back of the couch, looked at Meng Yuan and smiled.He was wearing a sapphire blue Taoist robe, with a faint light on the brocade, which swirled into his eyes, like water in a jade bottle, making a muffled sound.
In fact, it is quiet, but there are a few warblers singing outside the window, which arouses endless sorrow.As expected, she was as calm as ever, and Meng Yu felt a little discouraged when she thought about it.He idly fiddled with the teacup and let out a casual sigh, "Who are you talking about?"
"Are you asking me? It's funny." Meng Tiao shook his shoulders and smiled twice, and slowly poured tea for him, "Don't pretend, it's the one named Zhang Yinlian. Why, it may not be that I thought wrong, you Don't like my sister, but my sister named Yulian?"
The teaser made Meng Yu laugh too, "You're talking nonsense, her sister is even more stupid than Caiyi, can I fall in love with her?"
"You're talking nonsense! How stupid am I, Caiyi?" Meng Tiao raised his eyebrows and retorted.
This refutation, as if his personal affair is just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter, it's irrelevant, and it doesn't hinder it.
Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, but she was filled with sadness from the bottom of her heart, and put on a sad smile on her face, "I didn't intend to hide it from you. I was really innocent before, and nothing happened. What happened behind it... ...I don't know how to tell you. I'm afraid that if I tell you, you think I planned it early in the morning."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Yuan cast a contemptuous look in his eyes, "So, when you are so in love, you can't help yourself?"
"Your words..." Meng Yu felt the sourness in this, and she was very happy, and she leaned close to the cold edge of the kang table and coaxed her, "If you don't want to, you won't say anything about taking her into the mansion. , I will take the money and send her back to Wuxi tomorrow."
Mengyu reflected on his slip of the tongue, and then smiled sincerely in the blink of an eye, "I just said something casually, and I don't have any reluctance."
The shadow of the phoenix tree is reflected on the kang table, the blue sky is lingering, and the young leaves are swaying from side to side.How long has it been, they have been chasing after each other, one sticks out his feet, and the other hides back, always refusing to show his feet.
Meng Yu didn't blame her for thinking this way, but mostly blamed herself.He couldn't help sighing in his heart, what is love and desire, why does it often make people feel exhausted?
The author says:
Meng Yu couldn't tell, there was no love, and as for sex, it wasn't so strong that it couldn't be controlled.He turned around and looked at Yinlian through the dim and dim candlelight, her tearful eyes shone with a little sunshine.
It's really not like Meng Tiao, Meng Tiao's eyes are never sunny in the smoke.In fact, he prefers to sit down and talk quietly with Yinlian about his dreams. She listened quietly, and it seemed that all the anguish accumulated in his heart was poured out.
But at this moment, it is a bit inappropriate to say it. No woman is like a dream, and they are indeed much more fragile than her.He had no choice but to walk back slowly with helpless laziness all over his body, "Then what do you want me to do?"
He sat back on the folding chair in front of the bed, leaned his back, put his arms on the armrests, and opened his chest, a little penniless and not afraid of coercion.He is loveless and is not afraid of blackmailing her.
Yinlian lowered her head, showing half of her pink neck, "I don't ask you to do anything, but I just want you to say something."
"What?" Meng Yu raised his eyebrows.
Yinlian buried her head lower, was silent for a moment, then raised her head vigorously, her eye circles were still red, "What do you really think of me?"
At this moment, Meng Yuduo hopes that Mengyu asked him, or he asked Mengyu, it doesn't matter.However, they are not as brave as the weak Yuyiyi girl in front of them.For this reason, it is difficult for him to say a hurtful word, but he just keeps silent without refusing to welcome.
She remained silent for a long time, but Yinlian was forced to put all her eggs in one basket.She smiled, a tear rolled out of her eyes, and looked at him with a crooked face, "As long as you don't dislike me, I will be happy."
Saying so, she got off the bed and threw herself on his lap, sobbing softly with her face on her lap, "I was writing a letter asking for help, thinking you were just sending the people under your command here. I thought, if you don’t come, if I am saved, I will go back to my hometown in Wuxi and never see you again. I don’t want you to come here again. Why did you come?”
She asked, as if she didn't want to know the answer, she still put her face against his leg, and didn't even lift her eyes, "Why did you come? You came, and I have nowhere to go from now on. I can be by your side now."
She leaned on his lap like a duckweed leaning on a solitary rock, and smiled persistently to herself, "I'm not greedy, I don't want your money, I don't want any status, I just want to follow you. The wife is willing to accept it, even if she asks me to go into the mansion and make her a shoe-handling girl, I am also willing, I just want to guard you..."
The remaining tears in his eyes wet Meng Yu's legs, and the warmth and moistness flicked a little bit of his lust.He raised Yinlian's face and looked at her for a while, but he still didn't understand her. In his opinion, she was just as stupid as a kitten or puppy, and she accepted the Lord with a little favor.
However, anyone who faces such a weak life who entrusts the power of life and death to himself will inevitably feel compassion.He bent his back and kissed the slightly scratched mouth.
When the pleasure of the body swept over violently, there was only an empty heart left, and this simple canopy bed suddenly became boundless.He hugged Yinlian in his arms, relying on her warm and soft jade body to drive away his emptiness.
This is something Mengyuan can't do, on the contrary, the closer he gets to Mengyuan, the more empty he feels.Therefore, for the first time, he felt that he had betrayed Meng Tiao.
It is also from this night that the clouds and rain are scattered, and the horizon gradually ends.
There was another day's delay in the post house, and the next day Meng Yu sent someone to hitch up a carriage for the return trip.Sitting in the car with Yinlian, Yinlian just took his arm and put her head on his shoulder.The mountain wind lifted the curtain of the car, and clumps of early-blooming wild flowers came into view. She smiled contentedly and hummed an unknown Jiangnan tune.
Looking up, Meng Yu's brows were lightly knotted, as if she was preoccupied.She thought to herself, then smiled, "Don't worry, I'll go back to live in Yunsheng Lane. When will you explain to your wife, and when will you come to pick me up. I can afford to wait."
Meng Yu glanced down and smiled faintly, "Since I promised you, I will definitely pick you up, don't worry."
Seeing that he was not happy, Yin Lian straightened her body and tilted her face, "Are you afraid that your wife will blame you?"
He sighed and leaned against the wall of the car, "She won't blame her."
"Then what's the problem?" Yin Lian pursed her lips and lowered her chin lightly, "If there's any problem, I'll still live in Yunsheng Lane. I just hope that you will come to see me often."
Meng Yulai looked at her and hugged her back into his arms, "There's nothing embarrassing." He shook off his messy thoughts and smiled sternly, "The house still needs to be tidied up, so I'm afraid I'll take you in later. There is something I want to tell you, my wife has a bad temper, and even I dare not provoke her when she gets angry. If she teaches you, you have to be more obedient and don't stand up to her, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
Yinlian laughed suddenly, her bright eyes flickered, "Is the wife very fierce?"
"Not fierce, treat people politely."
"Then what's there to be afraid of?" Yinlian said in her mouth, she thought about it for a while, and then nodded solemnly, "She is a wife, and she should be a little dignified. I respect her and don't make her angry. They will never look for me. It's just that there are old lady and Miss Mei in the mansion, I'm afraid of these two."
Meng Yu laughed heartily, "The two of them don't have time to worry about such matters. You just go to greet the old lady on time. As long as you behave well, you don't have to be afraid."
As he said that, he opened the curtain to look at the sky, where the smoke and mist were misty, and he turned his thoughts back to the old net.He muttered in a low voice, "I asked someone to deliver a letter home, but I don't know if my wife has received it."
"As soon as I received it, those officers and soldiers will go back quickly, it won't be long."
Meng Yu listened idly, her brows furrowed again, and innumerable clues knotted in her forehead.Outside the window, the winter has passed, and it is chaotic and green again, with morning sun everywhere, emerald green mountains and old smoke.
The Meng family received the news of Meng Yu's success in suppressing the bandits a few days after Yuan's Eve, the housekeeper didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to pass a message to Caiyi.
When Caiyi came to Mengtiao's room to tell the story early in the morning, it happened that Mengtiao was sitting on the bed tidying up the clothes. The few clothes and some cheap hair and clothes he brought were all placed in the indigo burlap and lived in two corners. A bundle!So I packed up all the messy and soft emotions these days.
Looking forward, it was the dream of the past again, the corners of the lips were smiling but not smiling, and the eyes were as light as cold mist, "Pack up your things too, let's go back."
Caiyi hurried over, "Are you going back now? Did you tell Brother Ping?"
"Talk to him later."
"New Year's Eve is just over." Caiyi put one hand on the screen beside the bed, lowered her head and pouted slightly.
Meng Yu suddenly raised her voice in a high-pitched voice, as if holding a needle, poking down at a dream bubble, "Isn't it just right to go back after the New Year's Eve? You have lived here for half a month, and you even forgot your home." ?”
"No, no, no..." Caiyi lowered her hands and sat on the edge of the bed, "I was just about to tell you that there is a word from home that Master is safe and well, and will be returning home soon."
Meng Tiao was silent, went to the table and turned over a teacup to pour tea, the water dripped, "Where is the person he wants to save?"
"It must have been rescued. I heard that dozens of bandits were all strangled." Caiyi couldn't see her expression, paused, and asked again: "Let's go back, what happened to Brother Ping? Ma'am But I forgot to take advantage of Brother Ping. I see that you and Brother Ping are getting so close these few days, isn't it a good time to push the boat along?"
This is exactly where people are in a dilemma. Meng Yuan's "beauty trap" has gradually become a whirlpool out of control, and she knows very well that she may no longer be able to calmly be a catcher and keep her own life.
She was inexperienced in this situation and had to delay.So I had to avoid it.
She took a sip of hot tea, and her tone continued slowly, "There is no need to rush things, but you seem to be looking forward to getting things done sooner, are you not used to living in that small courtyard?"
Caiyi lowered her face, as if talking in her mouth, hesitating whether to say or not.After thinking about it for a while, he finally said, "No, it's because when I see my wife is with brother Ping, she seems more comfortable and smiling. I think my wife is always happier when she is with brother Ping."
"Look at your silly words, do I always have a straight face?" Meng Yu snorted and didn't care.
"That's not true, it's just that this smile is different from the one at home."
Meng Tiao was startled, turned her slender waist slightly, and saw herself in the full-length mirror under the wall.He is holding a bun tied in an empty cage, with two plain pearls on his hairpin, and he is not even wearing a pair of Erpan. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, like a contemptuous and sad crescent moon.
She was smiling all the time, even she had never seen her before.
The brilliant sun came in through the window and folded on her eyelids, and the lifeless light inside shivered slightly before falling down again.She sat on the couch, sighed, and waited stubbornly for Dong Mo to come over so that she could tell him about returning home.
After noon, Dong Mo didn't come to this room. He was discussing with Liu Chaoru about his old master's reply in the study.
He read it first, his brows became more and more sad, and the wind in the sleeves was a little bleak, so he handed the letter to Liu Chaoru.Liu Chaoru pushed, "I don't like your family letter, you just tell me."
Dong Mo frowned, and smiled tiredly, "My family letter has never been written in the family, you just read it."
After taking a look, it turns out that the writing is alienated, the wording is cold, and it seems to be a business attitude, without even a word of greeting.
Liu Chaoru read it, put the letter back on the desk, and turned around, "It seems that your old man is just as we expected, Meng Yu is most likely to be worshiped by Chu Pei, the servant of the household department, it is strange that he is so unrestrained. "
"The Secretary of the Household Department spoke to the Holy Majesty because of the shortfall in military pay the year before, and his words were fierce, and he meant to accuse the Holy Majesty of not being diligent in his administration. It made the Holy Majesty unhappy, so Chu Pei took advantage of the loophole, and now he is the one who makes the decisions under the Household Department. At the beginning of last year, he was enlisted in the cabinet again, and it was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, and his disciples naturally became a little more publicized."
Liu Chaoru said: "With such a backer in the court, it's strange that your old man wants you to come to Jinan. I'm afraid other people will not dare to step into this muddy water. What are your plans now?"
Having said that, Dong Mo got up from the chair of the grand master, "I asked Mr. Shao to keep an eye on the shortfall in the salt field, the shortfall in the salt tax. I think you are the county magistrate, and you can start with a few salt merchants in this city."
Liu Chaoru thought about it, nodded in response, "The yamen has confiscated fertile land for sale, and I just want to contact them."
After the two finished talking, Dong Mo sent him to the door, and then turned to Meng Tiao's room. There was a bright yellow sun, shaded by a pergola, and the shadow turned away.
The lingering rhyme of Yuanxi is still there, the sheng and flute have not stopped, the jade pipes have started again, I don’t know whose house the spring is in, and the walls are full of noise.It's quiet here in Meng Tiao, the courtyard is full of golden crows, and a window is slanted, which makes Dong Mo feel a little discouraged.
Entering the room, I saw someone lying on the window sill, twisting his waist and picking at the window screen.There was a cold cup of tea on the kang table, Dong Mo walked over, picked it up and ate it, "I'm not coming, are you bored?"
Meng Tiao straightened her body, looked at his hands, "This tea has been sitting here for half a day, it's already cold."
But he doesn't care about it, "Boiling water and cooking tea can't heat up the world's cold state."
Meng Tiao took a closer look at his eyes, it was a little bleak, but there was a smile on his face, looking more and more desolate.She felt tense in her heart, and secretly asked, "What are you busy with?"
"Look over here, we had some conversations in the study." Dong Mo flipped up his clothes and sat opposite him, leaning his head on the window sill, the westward sun shining goldenly on his face, brilliant and lonely.
Just talking to Liu Chaoru would definitely not bring out his lonely look.Meng Tiao wanted to inquire about his thoughts, but in the end he didn't open his mouth, and suddenly fell silent.
Dong Mo turned his eyes away, but suddenly wanted to talk to her, "My grandfather has sent a letter with a total of 42 words, none of which is about me."
It was only when I started to realize that those emotions that had been buried for many years were dug up at this moment, as if they had melted into bones, they no longer had a concrete appearance, and I didn't know how to describe them.
He was silent for a moment, and smiled while waving his hands, "Don't say such trivial things. Have you eaten yet?"
Meng Yao cheered up a little, "Are you asking about lunch or dinner?"
Whether it's sooner or later, it's just in the middle of the future, and they don't touch each other.Dong Mo suddenly smiled at her, "I was confused."
He stared into her eyes, remembering the kiss that night, almost like a superficial touch, without a trace, he did not act excessively again.But right now, against the backdrop of a letter from home, she feels more and more like an extra favor from an indifferent fate.
His attitude was gentle and intimate, "The street is lively, shall I take you out for a walk?"
Meng Tiao was speechless, staring at him for a while, suddenly feeling sad.Just like the poor scholar she met on the street last time, she just wanted him to extort some money, but she didn't expect that it was all his property.
Dong Mo also offered all his belongings in front of his eyes - his heart that was still warm.Mengyu held it, feeling hot.She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm going back."
"Where to go?" He was a little surprised.
"Go home." Meng Yu pursed her lips until they were as bright red and moist as rouge, "At that time, I was afraid that there would be many thieves during the New Year's Eve, so I came to your house to avoid them. Now the festival is over. Yes, of course I have to go back. I was going to leave at noon, but I didn't know you would come, so I waited until now. I have to say goodbye in person."
Speaking of this episode, she secretly peeped into his cold eyes, and quickly smiled, "Besides, there are old houses in Wuxi. Although dilapidated, they belong to the ancestors, and there are two relatives there. Yulian and Yulian should go back and visit their parents' graves, I'm afraid it will take a while before they come back."
When I looked up, I saw that there was a burden skin on the round table, which was still as thin as when the Tathagata came.Dong Mo's heart seemed to sink, "At the other end of Little Cicada Alley, you leave the key, and I will send the bed to you after I make the bed here."
Meng Tiao was silent, so he laughed, "Why, are you afraid that I will steal things from your house?"
"What?" She was also a little frustrated, "You also sent a few valuables."
Dong Mo looked at her, and the small kang table in the middle suddenly seemed as high as the sky and the road was far away, and he felt a little bit reluctant to part with it.Then I thought again, so what if I was married?She will come back to him anyway, if he doesn't come back, even if he digs through the loess, he will snatch her back.
So he nodded his head slightly, "That's fine, when I'm done with the work in hand..." He paused again, implying, "Your work is also finished, I'll let the sedan chair carry you over."
Meng Tiao's heart fluttered for a moment, but on the surface he pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, and said jokingly: "Still using a sedan chair? Why didn't I come here?"
He had no choice but to Yang Hua Lve Ying, to dissipate a little bit of loneliness, and make plans for her, "Is the money enough to pay for going back to Wuxi?"
"Enough."
"Where are the carriages and horses? Where can I hire them?"
"When we came over from Wuxi, we knew a driver of a sports car. He is from Wuxi. He has some friendship with my father, so we can trust him. This time we hired his carriage and horses to go back, and we will still hire his carriage and horses back then."
While talking, Meng Yuan got up to get the fur skin.Hearing him also get up, she hurriedly clutched the corner of the bundle, not daring to turn around, "Zhang Ping, don't send me off."
Dong Mo really stopped on the couch, looking at her back, waiting for her low words.After waiting for a long time, she finally buried her head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
He smiled from behind, with a soft voice like warm wind, "I'm here, I'll be there whenever you come back. Give me a message when you come back, and I'll go see you."
"Okay." Meng Tiao replied lightly, twisting the burden and leaving.
When she reached the door, she secretly turned her head to look again.Dong Mo was still sitting inside the carved screen, and the sunlight lowered his entire back.He propped his elbows on his knees, and pressed his chin with his clasped hands, covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes, like stars in the desert night sky.
And his whole being is that empty desert.Mengtiao thinks that she can't be his wild fire.
She is used to deception, deceit, seduction, temptation, and all the dirty methods in the world to survive.Only not used to being loved.All the pains that she could foresee were safe and stable, and she was already prepared to meet them.But the illusory happiness brought by love was so unpredictable that she was helpless.
She wanted to retreat her heart back into the dark well, cut off the light, snuff out expectations, and be absolutely safe.
There is nothing in the world that never changes, even the dark well is quietly changing, she wants to go back, and sometimes things change.
But Meng Tiao didn't realize it, the general was going home with colorful clothes, before he could catch his breath, he saw the old lady rushing over like a galloping horse, and when he entered the door, he looked around, saw Meng Tiao at the dressing table, hurried to go Go forward and shout:
"I said Meng'er! You're finally back! I have something to discuss with you, but I can't find you. I'm so anxious that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for two days in a row!"
Mengyu was exhausted, and her face in the mirror was a little faded, she gave her a light glance, "Mother, what kind of thing is serious, let's talk about it after I have a tea break."
After speaking, he ordered the little girl to serve tea and sit on the couch with the old lady.As soon as her butt was seated, the old lady couldn't bear it anymore, "Young Master was taken by the yamen!"
"Who?"
"Young Master, Chang Shaojun!"
Meng Tiao took a sip of the tea soup in her mouth, turned her mind slowly, and then remembered that she was talking about Chang Xiucai.She frowned lightly, and slowly dipped her handkerchief into her mouth, "Which yamen took him? And why did they take him?"
"The county government in Zhangqiu County took it!" The old lady mentioned it with a look of displeasure, "On the second day of the New Year's Eve, two servants came from Zhangqiu County, saying that Shaojun had committed a lawsuit in Zhangqiu... ...Oh, it means that he cheated in the court that year, and we want to take him back for questioning!"
Meng Yu became more and more confused, "When is the almanac, now I think about it and look it up?"
"It's not! I think they want to commit a crime! I don't know who the young master offended in Zhangqiu's hometown, so he suddenly came to arrest him for no reason. Wouldn't it be a great injustice to strip him of his fame?"
"Didn't you ask Chang Xiucai?"
"He doesn't know who he offended." The old lady clenched her forehead tightly, her face sullen, "I wanted to ask Zhang Mi to ask, but I also thought that Zhang Mi had no relationship with the Zhangqiu County Yamen. I'd better wait for Brother Yu When I come back, ask him to ask someone to find out why. Brother Yu is the mansion, and the top of the mountain is always easier to talk about."
Meng Tiao nodded, thinking of Chang Xiucai's usual behavior, even if he married the old lady, he didn't just coax her money, but seemed a little sincere.Such a person is not like a person who cheats on fame.So he answered the old lady and waited for Meng Yu to come back and tell him.
Meng Yu didn't linger on the road, took advantage of the west wind to raise his whip all the way, and sent Sister Yinlian home in Licheng first, then hurried back to the mansion.
When I entered the door at noon that day, seeing Meng Tiao greeted me at the door, I suddenly felt unspeakable.He paused his steps, smiled at each other twice, and then entered the room with his robes on, "I've been on the road for a few days, and I can't change my clothes in time. Do you see that your body is full of mud spots?"
Meng Tiao also seemed to be a bit born, and it took a while to put her mind back to the behavior between husband and wife, and walked around him, "I see that you seem to have lost some weight."
"Running around all day, how can there be no reason not to be thin?" Meng Yu suddenly picked her up and raised her brows triumphantly, "You've lost two cents in weight, but your strength is not small. Look, you can still hold her in one hand." Move you. You seem to have lost a little bit."
"I've been ill for a while, so I naturally want to lose weight."
"Ill?" Meng Yu hurriedly put her on the couch, and leaned down to look at her face at night, "It's because some of the colors are not good, why are you sick?"
"It's okay for the wind to blow." Meng Yuan avoided his eyes, poured a cup of tea on the kang table and held it to his lips, "Go take a bath and change your clothes, I'll ask someone to prepare a meal for you to eat."
Finally, they asked the girl to prepare for the bath, and ordered someone to prepare meals. After an hour of busy work, the two of them sat down on the couch to eat and talk.When Mengyu talked about Chang Xiucai, it was rare for Meng Yu to put his beak to the old lady, "I think it's better to catch him, so that he won't come and trip my mother all the time."
Meng Yu held the bowl and glanced at him, "I think it would be good for him to stumble on mother. He is a good person, and he is better than those who sing and juggle. He can talk nicely and coax people's money. Mother is no longer as young as she was when she was young. The older she gets, the more confused she becomes, even if she is still sober now, what will happen in the future? Who can say for sure? If she becomes confused, her money can withstand those people's coaxing?"
Meng Yu could only laugh, "Since you say that, I have to bother. I'll send someone to Zhangqiu to ask why. If there's nothing wrong, just let him go. It's not a big deal."
The matter was settled, Meng Yuan moved the chopsticks again.While chewing and swallowing slowly, she glanced at him, "The step family of that damsel was rescued safe and sound?"
"Ah, I've been rescued." Meng Yu was still a little unaccustomed to lying to her. The hand holding her tooth chopsticks paused, and she raised her eyebrows to look at her. How to start.
He knew that even if he said it, she might not be angry, but he was flustered for no reason, and he was afraid that she would not be angry if he said it.Hesitant and anxious here, but Meng Tiao is another set of thoughts——
She thought about going back to this darkened hole, still like before, to set that beating heart out of order.Dong Mo is just the Dong Mo who was deceived by her, his life is just the kind of rich and noble life she pursues, and the husband and wife are still the couple who benefit from each other.Let everything go back to the dull and stable days.
So she put down the bowl slowly, with a sharp smile in her eyes, "I already know, why bother to hide it from me? We took people's names and backgrounds, and it would be heartless not to take care of them. In my opinion, you just take her into It's not cheap to live outside, and people will gossip about her."
Meng Yu held the bowl in silence for a while, then simply asked the girl to put away the kang table, neatly lay on the back of the couch, looked at Meng Yuan and smiled.He was wearing a sapphire blue Taoist robe, with a faint light on the brocade, which swirled into his eyes, like water in a jade bottle, making a muffled sound.
In fact, it is quiet, but there are a few warblers singing outside the window, which arouses endless sorrow.As expected, she was as calm as ever, and Meng Yu felt a little discouraged when she thought about it.He idly fiddled with the teacup and let out a casual sigh, "Who are you talking about?"
"Are you asking me? It's funny." Meng Tiao shook his shoulders and smiled twice, and slowly poured tea for him, "Don't pretend, it's the one named Zhang Yinlian. Why, it may not be that I thought wrong, you Don't like my sister, but my sister named Yulian?"
The teaser made Meng Yu laugh too, "You're talking nonsense, her sister is even more stupid than Caiyi, can I fall in love with her?"
"You're talking nonsense! How stupid am I, Caiyi?" Meng Tiao raised his eyebrows and retorted.
This refutation, as if his personal affair is just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter, it's irrelevant, and it doesn't hinder it.
Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, but she was filled with sadness from the bottom of her heart, and put on a sad smile on her face, "I didn't intend to hide it from you. I was really innocent before, and nothing happened. What happened behind it... ...I don't know how to tell you. I'm afraid that if I tell you, you think I planned it early in the morning."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Yuan cast a contemptuous look in his eyes, "So, when you are so in love, you can't help yourself?"
"Your words..." Meng Yu felt the sourness in this, and she was very happy, and she leaned close to the cold edge of the kang table and coaxed her, "If you don't want to, you won't say anything about taking her into the mansion. , I will take the money and send her back to Wuxi tomorrow."
Mengyu reflected on his slip of the tongue, and then smiled sincerely in the blink of an eye, "I just said something casually, and I don't have any reluctance."
The shadow of the phoenix tree is reflected on the kang table, the blue sky is lingering, and the young leaves are swaying from side to side.How long has it been, they have been chasing after each other, one sticks out his feet, and the other hides back, always refusing to show his feet.
Meng Yu didn't blame her for thinking this way, but mostly blamed herself.He couldn't help sighing in his heart, what is love and desire, why does it often make people feel exhausted?
