marry a weak waist
Chapter 34 Diseased Bones
The curtain leaks at night, but it is the news of spring return.It's only half a month away from Yuanxi, and peaches and plums are newly blooming, and apricots are dyed in green shades, which suddenly breaks this tired harmony.
Mengyu grabbed the skirt and rubbed it with the sole of her embroidered shoes, but couldn't wipe off the two inches of grass, so she simply raised her voice lazily and impatiently, "Housekeeper, pull out the grass from the cracks in the ground, Dong There are clusters in the west, looking at the desolation, how can the new aunt live in it?"
The person in charge was calling for people to hang a small plaque outside the entrance of the cave, when he heard this, he ran to the yard to make an arch, "Madam, don't worry. Madam will see if there is anything wrong with it, so I can hurry up and ask someone to do it."
Meng Tiao's face was crooked, the morning light slanted down from her forehead, and two eyelashes fluttered on her cheeks, thick and long, half concealing the contemptuous trickery in her eyes, "It's easy for you, the bride wants to come in Now, why don't you wait on her heartily in the future? It's your benefit."
The housekeeper hurriedly bent his waist low, "I don't dare! The wife has the final say in this house. The wife said that this house is allocated to the new aunt and needs to be cleaned. It is the wife." If the words are small, I dare not delay, not because of the new aunt!"
Meng Tiao pursed his lips and smiled, and was about to praise him, when Mei Qing came gracefully from under the cave door and praised her, "You're so good. That's it, don't talk about one aunt, just ten or eight." Well, who is in charge of this family, you touch the head on your neck and think about it carefully. If you don’t know how to curry favor, that’s all, I’m afraid that if you curry favor with the wrong person, you won’t know how you will die.”
"Hey, hey." The butler hurriedly bowed his head, Meng Yuan waved his sleeves, and then went away with vigor.
Mei Qing came to the courtyard, gave Meng Tiao a wink, and the two went to the porch to look at the newly tidied house.The furnishings in the room are exquisite, all the furniture are painted red boxwood, and the precious couch under the window base is even more exquisitely carved, with clusters of lotus flowers.
There is still a lack of a bed in the bedroom. There is a huge cabinet standing under the wall, and a few vibrant lotus plants are painted on the door.Open it up, and you will see layers of good clothes, silk and satin, all kinds of materials and various colors and patterns, and the random flowers are really charming.
Caressing those dresses, Mei Qing turned her head and smiled, "Sister is a sister after all, who would not know how to set up such a ecstasy array? Let alone a poor girl who has never seen or eaten."
Mengyu leaned her waist against the round table, turned her eyes away, half of her lips were bent lightly, "What ecstasy array? Don't wrong me, I'm sincere."
"Do you really want to trap this girl surnamed Zhang to death in this rich hole?" Mei Qing is someone who has been here, and she can see through her at a glance. The Hunan skirt is moving, and her eyes are light and beautiful, which doesn't matter, "It's okay." , seeing that I am going to get married, how can I support me without a helper at home? I just hope that she will be a good talent, and I will not waste my sister's food in vain."
Meng avoided answering, and asked instead: "Has Liu Chaoru set a date?"
As soon as it was mentioned, Mei Qing's eyes filled with joy, "Yesterday you were so busy staring at this house cleaning the house, you didn't know that he came home with the matchmaker. The betrothal gift has been put aside, and we are scheduled to welcome the bride in May."
After all, they are sisters, and if she wants to leave the court, Meng Yuan will inevitably be disappointed.She lowered her face and looked at her raised toes, and swayed to the left and right in the swaying dust, "You will be out of the cabinet in a blink of an eye, remember when I found you on the road that year, you were as thin as a withered wicker It seems that I still can't support it, I never wanted to grow up like this."
Mei Qing smiled slightly, looked around the gorgeous house and sighed, "It's been so many years, I finally got out of this golden hole!"
Meng Tiao was still sure in her heart that she couldn't get rid of this body, but she didn't spoil her interest and kept smiling.
Mei Qing asked again: "The house is packed, when will the Zhang family sisters be brought in?"
"Soon." Meng Tiaoqian walked to the window and stroked the spun screen, "It will take three to five days to replace the screen with a silver-red one, and there is still a bed that is not ready. Pick a new one later." On a good day, let the sedan chair pick it up."
According to the discussion between the husband and wife, it was originally Meng Yu who should pick him up in person.But unfortunately, two days later, a letter came from Tai'an Prefecture, saying that the salt that was transported to the bottom last time was sold out by all major merchants.They are all new to the salt business, seeing such a bonus, they are very happy, and they want to make a big deal with Meng Yu.
Da Daren couldn't make a private decision, so he had to write a letter to ask Meng Yu to go to Tai'an Prefecture to discuss with various merchants.Meng Yu took the letter and went to Zhang Mi's mansion first.
Zhang Mi walked slowly around the study room twice, without saying yes or no, and asked with frowning lightly: "Is there any rumors about Dong Mo recently?"
"I didn't hear that." Meng Yu shook her head slowly on the chair, thought for a while, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Qin Xun wants to retire safely, so naturally he will try to stop him, lest he get caught in the fire."
"What about Madam Zun? Didn't hear anything?"
Meng Yu thought again, holding the teacup and shaking his head, "No, she would have told me about it long ago. Besides, Dong Mo thinks she is just a commoner woman, so why would he talk to her about official matters?"
Zhang Mi still seemed a little worried, and slowly sat back on the official hat chair, "The weather has been calm these days, but I feel a little uneasy... How much salt do you need in Tai'an Prefecture?"
"The letter said it was three hundred stones." It's not that Meng Yu didn't know what he was worried about, but he was no better than Zhang Mi. His future was one risk after another, and he was used to insecurity.
He glanced at Zhang Mi, put down his cup and smiled, "Lord Chu is the first cabinet minister, and it's a time when money is short in Beijing. Let's not hurry here, I'm afraid he won't be able to take over."
Zhang Mi stared at the cuffs, raised his hand to straighten it out, "Master Meng is very sympathetic to Master Chu..." He flicked his sleeves, put his wrist on the table with a smile, "Okay, go and raise the price with them." Higher, these businessmen are the best at lowering prices, but don’t follow their way. I’m going to prepare for the salt business.”
After discussing the matter, Meng Yu was about to resign, Zhang Mi smiled again and asked him to stay, and asked someone to bring out a box and give it to him, "Sister Ling is leaving the cabinet, she and I..." As he spoke, he twisted his beard His eyes were slightly fuzzy, "It can be considered as an acquaintance. In addition to accompanying her with a few hundred taels of silver, there is also a slap in the face here. It can be regarded as a congratulatory gift for her. I hope Mr. Meng will take it back to her."
Opening the box, one can see that the whole golden face is spread brightly on the vermilion satin cloth, glowing brightly.That light flashed across Meng Yu's smiling eyes, and he bowed next, "Then I will thank you for your generous gift on Mei Qing's behalf, she will definitely be happy."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, give her a message for me, even if you are married, don't forget your old friends, you should come and see often."
When Meng Yu returned home, he only handed over the head mask box to the boy and ordered it to be delivered to Mei Qing. He was too lazy to talk to Mei Qing, so he went straight to the main room in the West Garden.Catch up with Meng Yuan who just woke up from his afternoon nap, lazily asks for tea outside the curtain.
Just hearing the voice, Meng Yu could imagine her appearance, she must have a light skirt and a thin waist for walking.
Opening the curtain and going in, she was really lying on the couch, half-closed her eyelids, waiting for tea.Meng Yu untied Yu Jue from her waist, and hung the tassel over her face to tickle her.Meng Tiao opened his eyes awkwardly, and snatched them away, "You don't like it!"
He just sat behind her with a smile and put his arms around her, "Why haven't I seen you going to Little Cicada Alley since I came back from Qi He?"
Suddenly mentioning this incident, Meng Yuan's eyes changed, and he sneered, "Aren't you busy with your marriage? If I don't keep an eye on the house where your new aunt lives, who will keep an eye on you?" She collected the photos Folded legs, straightened the skirt, "Besides, I told Dong Mo that I went back to Wuxi, the two places are far away, how can I come back so soon?"
Meng Yu tilted his face to look at her for a moment, and his smile turned a bit embarrassed, "It's all right, why did you tell him to go back to Wuxi?"
Meng Yuan didn't look at him, but just lowered his head and straightened his skirt, "I see him on weekdays, but I'm bored. You're a man, don't you understand? You men have to hang around all the time to chase after him like a pug."
Makes sense, but not because of this.Meng Yu looked at her like a mirror, and knew her too well.They are the same, they all have a fierce heart and leopard courage in other things, and they dare to provoke people of any status.As long as a little love is involved, I wish I could shrink my neck and hide my hands and feet.
She has moved a little...
He let go of his arms around her waist, sat up lazily, and paced around the room, "I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something. I'm going to Tai'an Prefecture, on the other side of Yunsheng Lane, and I have to trouble you to pick it up."
"What to do in Tai'an Prefecture?"
"The salt I went to last year is all sold out. Those new salt merchants want more. I have to negotiate with them in person. I went to Zhang Mi's in the morning and discussed with him. Tomorrow Let's go."
Mentioning Zhang Mi, he couldn't help laughing and said: "For some reason, Zhang Mi looked a little scared and couldn't let go of his hands and feet. He said that there was no movement on Dong Mo's side recently, but he was flustered. In my opinion, there is nothing to panic about. Now that you have done these things, you have to put your head on the case and wait for someone to fetch it. Afraid of death, hmph, then don’t think about anything. Besides, Chu Pei is sitting high in Beijing, all he knows is to reach out to the people below us for money, If you don’t give it to him, you’ve worked so hard in the past. I’m still waiting for Qin Xun to retire and put me in the chief secretary.”
After finishing talking, he brought up some doubts in Meng Tiao's heart.Just as he was thinking, he suddenly turned around and asked with a smile: "You often communicate with Dong Mo, have you heard any wind around him?"
Last time Xiechun mentioned that the adult surnamed Shao suddenly flashed into Mengyu's eyes along with the phoenix trees outside the window, but for some reason, she raised her eyes and smiled, "No, why would he tell me these things?"
She didn't think until she finished speaking, why did she hide it from him?Even she herself was surprised.Probably because of the crack that gradually opened in my heart.
That is a thin opening, Dong Mo, Zhang Yinlian, or more people and things are likely to make it bigger and bigger.As much as she tried to mend, she instinctively held back.
I don't know what Meng Yu was thinking, did he have the same premonition?
He just nodded and sighed with a smile, "Yes, I told Zhang Mi that too." He fell back and sat behind her, with his face tilted on her shoulder and a flattering smile, "I can only trouble you, go Bring someone back for me."
Meng Yu glanced sideways, and cursed with a smile: "You ask for a concubine, and you want me to be your wife to pick it up? Let outsiders know, and don't you say that I am too virtuous? I won't go, you can send whoever you want. Blow Gongs and drums, what's going on if I'm a woman to pick it up?"
"My dear wife, please, is it all right?" Meng Yu held her shoulders and shook her lightly, "I don't want any sheng, flute, gong or drum, just prepare a sedan chair to carry people in."
Meng Tiao was shaken by him so that the hairpins collided with each other, and the clinking elicited her clear laughter.After a while, the smiling face hadn't faded away, and worry had risen from her heart to her throat. She sighed, "Brother Yu, tell me, is there any couple like us in this world?"
"There are." Meng Yu also felt a little lonely, "There are all kinds of people and things in the world, and there are all kinds of strange things."
After speaking, he got up slowly, and was going to Tai'an Prefecture, and he had to order many things.Walking under the curtain, I suddenly heard Meng Yuan calling him.Looking back, she tilted her face, her eyes were reflecting the spring light by the window sadly, light and powerless, "Brother Yu, I still want to be husband and wife with you for the rest of my life. We are so good for each other."
There was a hint of sadness on her face, which touched Meng Yu's powerless sadness.He rarely smiled sincerely, "Me too."
He walked out, but the housekeeper came in again, saying that the wife's bed was ready, and asked the wife to go and see.Meng Tiao ate a cup of tea and followed, and sure enough, he saw the servants moving a boxwood canopy bed into the room.
The bed was covered with glossy and dark red lacquer, and the two sides and the upper hood screen were carved with patterns of the Chinese character "囍", which were buckled one by one, but you couldn't tell if it was a single character, like a cluster of flowers with endless branches.The bed was like a cage covered in vines.
Meng Tiaojiao was placed under the wall, she touched around the bed, and the twisted vine branches seemed to come to life in her hands, climbing from her fingertips to her wrists, arms, and entangled her whole body.
She withdrew her hand suddenly, stared at her wrist for a moment, then turned her head and smiled, "This bed is well made, and I want to reward the master. It's just that the prepared curtains are not suitable, let's change the color."
Time has changed and things have changed, hanging a pair of light yellow gauze curtains, facing the sunny window, it looks that yellow is tender and delicate, bright and moving.When the wind blows, the light gauze sweeps up, as if a girl with a natural face is sitting cross-legged on the soft quilt, with her elbows propped on her skirt, her back slightly slumped, looking around the bed.
There was resentment in those eyes, and he puffed up his cheeks and complained dutifully: "Who told you to hang up the curtains for me privately? I don't like this color, it looks like it was hung by a charming lady, I'm not , I'm just a commoner girl, I don't deserve this color!"
Dong Mo thought that he would definitely say that when he came back, so he sat under the window and laughed.The windows were also replaced with bright tiles, which were brighter and clearer than before, dripping into his eyes.
Xie Chun looked back at him, pretending not to see through her heart, still beckoning the little girl to hang up the curtain.After hanging it, I went to the window and asked, "Look at this, is it okay? I just don't know if the girl likes it or not."
Dong Mo suppressed his smile and put on his usual cold attitude, "I'll hang up too, it's up to her whether she likes it or not. You guys pack up and go back."
"Don't you go back together?"
"I'll sit down again."
He stayed privately and had nothing to do, so he went around the kitchen.The inside was tidy and clean. Although the pot was cold and the stove was cold, the sunlight under the window fell on the earthen stove, and the whole cool kitchen became bright yellow and warm.
Like a fire under a stove, crackling and burning dead wood.There seemed to be a smell of food in the pot, and the tinkling shovel sounded.It doesn't matter what kind of food he cooks, he doesn't care about food and clothing the least, he can't eat enough to satisfy his hunger.However, in this shabby kitchen, the world is interesting.
He took the lid of the pot in vain and glanced at it, then closed it with a smile, and went into the main room.On the newly made bed, he fell asleep and had a sound dream happily and peacefully.
Opening his eyes, he saw the servant standing in front of the bed, with a smile on his face, "There is a word from the garden that Mr. Liu sent the servant to invite him home."
Dong Mo had no choice but to get up, and led his servants home with Liu Chaoru.This end has been given a new look, and the house has been newly painted. The dilapidated white silk lanterns before have been replaced with four-cornered red palace lanterns, which have been hung around the three sides of the house, and brand new bamboo has been replaced on the windows. Qing Qian yarn.
Going in head-on, Dong Mo teased, "This is like getting married, and you are finally willing to fall in love."
Liu Chaoru greeted the boy to watch tea, and invited him to sit down, "Don't make fun of me, where do I have the time to think about this? Half a month ago, Meng Yu's wife sent a housekeeper to bring the boy over to decorate."
"Lord Meng's wife?" Dong Mo couldn't help thinking of that parrot-like shrill voice, and his pores all over his body trembled again, "It seems that I really want to marry a sister, and I've even thought about these things for you."
"Probably, Madam is careful, and sent someone to say that my mother is not in Jinan, and there is no one to take care of the house. I'm afraid I couldn't think of this, so I helped with the cooking, and it was also for her sister to come and live better."
From time to time, tea came, and Liu Chaoru invited him with a smile, "I have some clues about what you ordered. I contacted a salt merchant in Jinan who went to Nanjing to run salt. Because he knew that I was from Nanjing, he encountered a lot of trouble in Nanjing. Regarding the lawsuit, I asked someone to bring me a letter, asking me to speak for him in Nanjing. I checked it in private, and found that this person kept the price of salt in Nanjing very low, and there was not much profit to be made according to the market. If the price is sold, the cost must be low, and there must be a deficit in the salt tax.”
Dong Mo picked up his tea and smiled, "Naturally, a businessman, how can he do business that loses money? It's just that he wants to smash his job and reveal the collusion with the Salt Transportation Department. How can he be willing?"
"I'm looking for you to discuss this. He committed a lawsuit in Nanjing and offended the people in the Nanjing Ministry of War. How can I speak for the Sixth Department of Nanjing? I'm afraid you have to talk to the people in the Ministry of War and give him a secret order." Some stumbling blocks forced him to submit."
After finishing speaking, Dong Mo glanced at him from the edge of the teacup, admiring him in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just put down the white porcelain bowl slowly, "Alright, just pull Meng Yuzhangmi and others from this person Come out. What did he do in Nanking?"
Liu Chaoru said: "According to his letter, his caravan bumped into a group of officers and soldiers on the way to transport salt. The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to blackmail them and punched them. I asked the county magistrate to arrest the leader of the officers and soldiers, and beat him twenty times without any explanation. Unexpectedly, the officer and soldier was the nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Because he was aggressive, the Minister of the Ministry of War specially placed him in The camp was tempered. He didn't blackmail him that day, but he just watched the conflict between the two sides. He couldn't get angry and helped the brothers in the camp. The county magistrate's slap in the face made the lawsuit aggravated."
Dong Mo smiled, "What mess. Is this businessman still in Nanjing? Where's his family?"
"I was tied up by the Ministry of War. My family, I heard that after the beginning of spring, they took them to Nanjing for a short stay. They originally planned to send them back to Jinan in the summer. This letter was sent to me by his family, please. Please help me." Speaking of this point, Liu Chaoru smiled self-deprecatingly, "You really think highly of me."
Dong Mo was silent for a while, his smile was gloomy, "I have someone in the military department, tomorrow I will write a letter to Nanjing, and transfer him and his family to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. He just doesn't care about his own life. I don't care about my life. When did I say it, when will I let him go, otherwise I will charge him with the crime of framing the imperial court official, I don't see if he can bear it."
After some agreement, Liu Chaoru sent Dong Mo out, facing the warm wind blowing, and the newly grown leeks in the corner of the courtyard were pushed forward layer by layer like green waves.The heads of the newly planted mustard greens were also plucked. Looking from a distance, it seemed that the ground was splashed with emerald green from the cracks in the dilapidated bricks.
The wind recedes, and the city is spring again. It can be seen that nothing will never change. Even a green tree can be pulled out from the crevice of the dark well in the Meng family, which is lifeless all day long.
It was also on this day that Mengtiao led a group of women and girls to meet Yinlian in Yunsheng Lane.Meng Yu sat in the front carriage, all the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were holding ready-made clothes, and at the end was a big vermilion sedan chair, carried by eight people.Except for the music and beating troupe, this scene doesn't look like accepting a small child, but rather like marrying a wife in a serious way.
Caiyi sat in the car with her mouth pouted, feeling a little unhappy on both sides, "It's such a respectable person, it's taking advantage of her. My wife treats her so kindly, be careful when she enters the door and kicks her nose and face!"
Meng Yuan was sitting upright, with cold arcs on his lips, and a light tone that was dignified, "Wealth and honor can't always fascinate your eyes, so how can you have a charming heart? Whether it's Feng Guanren or Zhang Yinlian, maybe it's different for your master." , but it’s the same for your wife and me.”
"The madam is thinking, let her be Miss Mei's job?"
"Would you like to ask you to push me?" Meng Yao joked while pinching her tender cheeks.
Caiyi turned her face to give way, pouted her mouth high, and immediately took her arm with a smile again, "Madam is reluctant, Madam protects me."
In Caiyi's heart, since her family's downfall, Mengyuan is her sky.What about the dreamy sky?She opened the gaps in the curtains and looked around, and the vast green sky floated above the thousands of buildings, cut seven and eight by the jagged corners of the eaves.
Under the sunny sky, Yinlian stood at the door early to greet her, wearing a concubine-colored soft silk bijia with folded branches, a jade-white double-breasted Changchun shirt inside, a water-red gauze skirt underneath, and only a branch on her head. The phoenix-tailed nobile sent by the housekeeper the day before yesterday.
If Mengyu didn't come, it was Mengyu who came to pick her up, and she was so flustered that she asked her sister if she was dressed properly.Her sister said it a few times, and she became a little impatient, "Anywhere is good. My sister is afraid of what she will do, and the master is protecting her, so she is afraid that she will eat you?"
"Not only to be afraid, but also to respect." Yinlian raised her head to look, and then called people in a skirt to rush into the alley.
Carriages and sedan chairs were not allowed in, so Meng Tiao had to walk in, hugged by her mother-in-law and maidservants, wearing a blushing double-breasted gown, half of a pale plain silk skirt underneath, and a small ruby inlaid on her smooth forehead, looking innocent. Only a jasmine silk flower was worn in the caged cloud servant girl.A dress is simple yet colorful, elegant yet dignified.
Seeing the person approaching with Yinlian's eyes, when she met those eyes, she felt like a clear spring where ice and snow melted, an iceman who was stinging coldly, but her face was smiling and light.She didn't know how to act for a while, so she went up to meet him, only lowered her face.
"Look up and let me see."
That voice was also like a stream of water, and there was a coolness in Cheng Cong.Yinlian panicked for a moment, and slowly raised her face, she was met with a gentle smile.
"Sure enough." Meng Yuan glanced at Yu Lian next to her again, without saying anything, she led her into the door, "Go in and sit for a while, tell them to move your things to the car."
Walking around the main room, several women and maids hugged Meng Tiao and sat on the couch. Yin Lian knelt down and flattered her, "Madam, please have tea."
Meng Tiao picked it up, seeing her trembling eyelashes, she felt a little satisfied, and smiled like a servant girl on both sides, "My aunt seems to be a little afraid of me, tell her, I'm not usually scary."
A woman hurriedly answered and helped Yin Lian up, "I've been with you for a long time, I'll know, our wife looks tough on the outside, but she's soft-tempered."
The colorful clothes stood beside Meng Yuan, put on airs, and smiled intimidatingly, "There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as my aunt respects the elders, serves the master and wife, and does her duty well, no one in the mansion will ask her what to do." Yours is not."
Meng Yu glanced at her, took Yin Lian's hand and held it gently in her palm, "Don't listen to what she said to scare you, this girl just heard that the master married a young girl, so she is helping me. What do children know? Don't worry too much. ah."
"Don't dare, I just listen to my wife's orders in everything." These people surrounded her and said softly and harshly, so confused that Yinlian lost her mind and just nodded.
In the meantime, raise your eyes and look at Mengyuan up close, like the shadow of flowers under the moon, both illusory and real, beautiful and moving.Yinlian became more and more cautious, she didn't say a word, and relied on the servant to move her two boxes.
After a cup of tea, Meng Yao let go of her hand, looked out of the window, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go, we have to visit the old lady and Miss Mei when we return home. It's just that the master went to another place, you The wedding night in the bridal chamber will be deserted. Don’t be afraid, it’s because you can’t run away, and you’ll come back after a while, just make up for it.”
Speaking of which, a group of people went out with a smile on their face, and squeezed out a group of people watching the excitement at the entrance of the alley, those who should get on the sedan chair, and those who should board the sedan chair.
Coincidentally, when Dong Mo beat Liu Chao Ru's house, he said he wanted to walk, and the spring breeze blew all the way here.Seeing the beaming line in front of him, he casually asked the boy: "Who's married, it's so lively."
The young man asked passers-by for a while, and someone told him, and he came up and replied: "It is said that Meng Futai is taking a concubine."
"Take a concubine?" Dong Mo looked at the line ahead, and cut his arms calmly, "Such a big scene, it should be regarded as a wife marriage. Since Meng Futai is marrying a young girl, why don't you see Meng Futai on the horse?"
"I heard that Mengfutai went to the prefecture and county, and it was his wife who came to welcome the new aunt on his behalf. Even this scene was arranged by the wife, and everyone who knows will praise her for her virtue."
Dong Mo thought of that piercing voice again, and shook his head with a smile, "Is there really such a virtuous woman in the world? Even the empress in the palace occasionally gets jealous. This lady is really a legend." .”
While speaking, the pawn carriage was slowly approaching, surrounded by six maids and servants.The car curtains on the window and the door are all dark blue, a thin arm sticks out from the small window frame, the blushing cloak sleeve is stuck in the crook of the arm, and half of the white forearm is exposed underneath. , wearing a thin amethyst bracelet on her wrist, and a purple gauze of Zhang Qinglian hanging on her hand, fluttering in the wind.
Dong Mo gave way to the side, and the silk brushed over his shoulder, like a delicate hand, touched his heart lightly, and then retracted cowardly and gracefully.He looked back, and saw that the carriage was driving towards the sky ahead, which was twisted by the corners of the eaves of the two rows of houses.
He suddenly felt a little unspeakably dull for this strange woman.
The author says:
Dong Mo: Even if you are not by my side, there are still rumors about you around me.
Meng Tiao: Please recognize the real me and don't listen to others.
Mengyu grabbed the skirt and rubbed it with the sole of her embroidered shoes, but couldn't wipe off the two inches of grass, so she simply raised her voice lazily and impatiently, "Housekeeper, pull out the grass from the cracks in the ground, Dong There are clusters in the west, looking at the desolation, how can the new aunt live in it?"
The person in charge was calling for people to hang a small plaque outside the entrance of the cave, when he heard this, he ran to the yard to make an arch, "Madam, don't worry. Madam will see if there is anything wrong with it, so I can hurry up and ask someone to do it."
Meng Tiao's face was crooked, the morning light slanted down from her forehead, and two eyelashes fluttered on her cheeks, thick and long, half concealing the contemptuous trickery in her eyes, "It's easy for you, the bride wants to come in Now, why don't you wait on her heartily in the future? It's your benefit."
The housekeeper hurriedly bent his waist low, "I don't dare! The wife has the final say in this house. The wife said that this house is allocated to the new aunt and needs to be cleaned. It is the wife." If the words are small, I dare not delay, not because of the new aunt!"
Meng Tiao pursed his lips and smiled, and was about to praise him, when Mei Qing came gracefully from under the cave door and praised her, "You're so good. That's it, don't talk about one aunt, just ten or eight." Well, who is in charge of this family, you touch the head on your neck and think about it carefully. If you don’t know how to curry favor, that’s all, I’m afraid that if you curry favor with the wrong person, you won’t know how you will die.”
"Hey, hey." The butler hurriedly bowed his head, Meng Yuan waved his sleeves, and then went away with vigor.
Mei Qing came to the courtyard, gave Meng Tiao a wink, and the two went to the porch to look at the newly tidied house.The furnishings in the room are exquisite, all the furniture are painted red boxwood, and the precious couch under the window base is even more exquisitely carved, with clusters of lotus flowers.
There is still a lack of a bed in the bedroom. There is a huge cabinet standing under the wall, and a few vibrant lotus plants are painted on the door.Open it up, and you will see layers of good clothes, silk and satin, all kinds of materials and various colors and patterns, and the random flowers are really charming.
Caressing those dresses, Mei Qing turned her head and smiled, "Sister is a sister after all, who would not know how to set up such a ecstasy array? Let alone a poor girl who has never seen or eaten."
Mengyu leaned her waist against the round table, turned her eyes away, half of her lips were bent lightly, "What ecstasy array? Don't wrong me, I'm sincere."
"Do you really want to trap this girl surnamed Zhang to death in this rich hole?" Mei Qing is someone who has been here, and she can see through her at a glance. The Hunan skirt is moving, and her eyes are light and beautiful, which doesn't matter, "It's okay." , seeing that I am going to get married, how can I support me without a helper at home? I just hope that she will be a good talent, and I will not waste my sister's food in vain."
Meng avoided answering, and asked instead: "Has Liu Chaoru set a date?"
As soon as it was mentioned, Mei Qing's eyes filled with joy, "Yesterday you were so busy staring at this house cleaning the house, you didn't know that he came home with the matchmaker. The betrothal gift has been put aside, and we are scheduled to welcome the bride in May."
After all, they are sisters, and if she wants to leave the court, Meng Yuan will inevitably be disappointed.She lowered her face and looked at her raised toes, and swayed to the left and right in the swaying dust, "You will be out of the cabinet in a blink of an eye, remember when I found you on the road that year, you were as thin as a withered wicker It seems that I still can't support it, I never wanted to grow up like this."
Mei Qing smiled slightly, looked around the gorgeous house and sighed, "It's been so many years, I finally got out of this golden hole!"
Meng Tiao was still sure in her heart that she couldn't get rid of this body, but she didn't spoil her interest and kept smiling.
Mei Qing asked again: "The house is packed, when will the Zhang family sisters be brought in?"
"Soon." Meng Tiaoqian walked to the window and stroked the spun screen, "It will take three to five days to replace the screen with a silver-red one, and there is still a bed that is not ready. Pick a new one later." On a good day, let the sedan chair pick it up."
According to the discussion between the husband and wife, it was originally Meng Yu who should pick him up in person.But unfortunately, two days later, a letter came from Tai'an Prefecture, saying that the salt that was transported to the bottom last time was sold out by all major merchants.They are all new to the salt business, seeing such a bonus, they are very happy, and they want to make a big deal with Meng Yu.
Da Daren couldn't make a private decision, so he had to write a letter to ask Meng Yu to go to Tai'an Prefecture to discuss with various merchants.Meng Yu took the letter and went to Zhang Mi's mansion first.
Zhang Mi walked slowly around the study room twice, without saying yes or no, and asked with frowning lightly: "Is there any rumors about Dong Mo recently?"
"I didn't hear that." Meng Yu shook her head slowly on the chair, thought for a while, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Qin Xun wants to retire safely, so naturally he will try to stop him, lest he get caught in the fire."
"What about Madam Zun? Didn't hear anything?"
Meng Yu thought again, holding the teacup and shaking his head, "No, she would have told me about it long ago. Besides, Dong Mo thinks she is just a commoner woman, so why would he talk to her about official matters?"
Zhang Mi still seemed a little worried, and slowly sat back on the official hat chair, "The weather has been calm these days, but I feel a little uneasy... How much salt do you need in Tai'an Prefecture?"
"The letter said it was three hundred stones." It's not that Meng Yu didn't know what he was worried about, but he was no better than Zhang Mi. His future was one risk after another, and he was used to insecurity.
He glanced at Zhang Mi, put down his cup and smiled, "Lord Chu is the first cabinet minister, and it's a time when money is short in Beijing. Let's not hurry here, I'm afraid he won't be able to take over."
Zhang Mi stared at the cuffs, raised his hand to straighten it out, "Master Meng is very sympathetic to Master Chu..." He flicked his sleeves, put his wrist on the table with a smile, "Okay, go and raise the price with them." Higher, these businessmen are the best at lowering prices, but don’t follow their way. I’m going to prepare for the salt business.”
After discussing the matter, Meng Yu was about to resign, Zhang Mi smiled again and asked him to stay, and asked someone to bring out a box and give it to him, "Sister Ling is leaving the cabinet, she and I..." As he spoke, he twisted his beard His eyes were slightly fuzzy, "It can be considered as an acquaintance. In addition to accompanying her with a few hundred taels of silver, there is also a slap in the face here. It can be regarded as a congratulatory gift for her. I hope Mr. Meng will take it back to her."
Opening the box, one can see that the whole golden face is spread brightly on the vermilion satin cloth, glowing brightly.That light flashed across Meng Yu's smiling eyes, and he bowed next, "Then I will thank you for your generous gift on Mei Qing's behalf, she will definitely be happy."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, give her a message for me, even if you are married, don't forget your old friends, you should come and see often."
When Meng Yu returned home, he only handed over the head mask box to the boy and ordered it to be delivered to Mei Qing. He was too lazy to talk to Mei Qing, so he went straight to the main room in the West Garden.Catch up with Meng Yuan who just woke up from his afternoon nap, lazily asks for tea outside the curtain.
Just hearing the voice, Meng Yu could imagine her appearance, she must have a light skirt and a thin waist for walking.
Opening the curtain and going in, she was really lying on the couch, half-closed her eyelids, waiting for tea.Meng Yu untied Yu Jue from her waist, and hung the tassel over her face to tickle her.Meng Tiao opened his eyes awkwardly, and snatched them away, "You don't like it!"
He just sat behind her with a smile and put his arms around her, "Why haven't I seen you going to Little Cicada Alley since I came back from Qi He?"
Suddenly mentioning this incident, Meng Yuan's eyes changed, and he sneered, "Aren't you busy with your marriage? If I don't keep an eye on the house where your new aunt lives, who will keep an eye on you?" She collected the photos Folded legs, straightened the skirt, "Besides, I told Dong Mo that I went back to Wuxi, the two places are far away, how can I come back so soon?"
Meng Yu tilted his face to look at her for a moment, and his smile turned a bit embarrassed, "It's all right, why did you tell him to go back to Wuxi?"
Meng Yuan didn't look at him, but just lowered his head and straightened his skirt, "I see him on weekdays, but I'm bored. You're a man, don't you understand? You men have to hang around all the time to chase after him like a pug."
Makes sense, but not because of this.Meng Yu looked at her like a mirror, and knew her too well.They are the same, they all have a fierce heart and leopard courage in other things, and they dare to provoke people of any status.As long as a little love is involved, I wish I could shrink my neck and hide my hands and feet.
She has moved a little...
He let go of his arms around her waist, sat up lazily, and paced around the room, "I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something. I'm going to Tai'an Prefecture, on the other side of Yunsheng Lane, and I have to trouble you to pick it up."
"What to do in Tai'an Prefecture?"
"The salt I went to last year is all sold out. Those new salt merchants want more. I have to negotiate with them in person. I went to Zhang Mi's in the morning and discussed with him. Tomorrow Let's go."
Mentioning Zhang Mi, he couldn't help laughing and said: "For some reason, Zhang Mi looked a little scared and couldn't let go of his hands and feet. He said that there was no movement on Dong Mo's side recently, but he was flustered. In my opinion, there is nothing to panic about. Now that you have done these things, you have to put your head on the case and wait for someone to fetch it. Afraid of death, hmph, then don’t think about anything. Besides, Chu Pei is sitting high in Beijing, all he knows is to reach out to the people below us for money, If you don’t give it to him, you’ve worked so hard in the past. I’m still waiting for Qin Xun to retire and put me in the chief secretary.”
After finishing talking, he brought up some doubts in Meng Tiao's heart.Just as he was thinking, he suddenly turned around and asked with a smile: "You often communicate with Dong Mo, have you heard any wind around him?"
Last time Xiechun mentioned that the adult surnamed Shao suddenly flashed into Mengyu's eyes along with the phoenix trees outside the window, but for some reason, she raised her eyes and smiled, "No, why would he tell me these things?"
She didn't think until she finished speaking, why did she hide it from him?Even she herself was surprised.Probably because of the crack that gradually opened in my heart.
That is a thin opening, Dong Mo, Zhang Yinlian, or more people and things are likely to make it bigger and bigger.As much as she tried to mend, she instinctively held back.
I don't know what Meng Yu was thinking, did he have the same premonition?
He just nodded and sighed with a smile, "Yes, I told Zhang Mi that too." He fell back and sat behind her, with his face tilted on her shoulder and a flattering smile, "I can only trouble you, go Bring someone back for me."
Meng Yu glanced sideways, and cursed with a smile: "You ask for a concubine, and you want me to be your wife to pick it up? Let outsiders know, and don't you say that I am too virtuous? I won't go, you can send whoever you want. Blow Gongs and drums, what's going on if I'm a woman to pick it up?"
"My dear wife, please, is it all right?" Meng Yu held her shoulders and shook her lightly, "I don't want any sheng, flute, gong or drum, just prepare a sedan chair to carry people in."
Meng Tiao was shaken by him so that the hairpins collided with each other, and the clinking elicited her clear laughter.After a while, the smiling face hadn't faded away, and worry had risen from her heart to her throat. She sighed, "Brother Yu, tell me, is there any couple like us in this world?"
"There are." Meng Yu also felt a little lonely, "There are all kinds of people and things in the world, and there are all kinds of strange things."
After speaking, he got up slowly, and was going to Tai'an Prefecture, and he had to order many things.Walking under the curtain, I suddenly heard Meng Yuan calling him.Looking back, she tilted her face, her eyes were reflecting the spring light by the window sadly, light and powerless, "Brother Yu, I still want to be husband and wife with you for the rest of my life. We are so good for each other."
There was a hint of sadness on her face, which touched Meng Yu's powerless sadness.He rarely smiled sincerely, "Me too."
He walked out, but the housekeeper came in again, saying that the wife's bed was ready, and asked the wife to go and see.Meng Tiao ate a cup of tea and followed, and sure enough, he saw the servants moving a boxwood canopy bed into the room.
The bed was covered with glossy and dark red lacquer, and the two sides and the upper hood screen were carved with patterns of the Chinese character "囍", which were buckled one by one, but you couldn't tell if it was a single character, like a cluster of flowers with endless branches.The bed was like a cage covered in vines.
Meng Tiaojiao was placed under the wall, she touched around the bed, and the twisted vine branches seemed to come to life in her hands, climbing from her fingertips to her wrists, arms, and entangled her whole body.
She withdrew her hand suddenly, stared at her wrist for a moment, then turned her head and smiled, "This bed is well made, and I want to reward the master. It's just that the prepared curtains are not suitable, let's change the color."
Time has changed and things have changed, hanging a pair of light yellow gauze curtains, facing the sunny window, it looks that yellow is tender and delicate, bright and moving.When the wind blows, the light gauze sweeps up, as if a girl with a natural face is sitting cross-legged on the soft quilt, with her elbows propped on her skirt, her back slightly slumped, looking around the bed.
There was resentment in those eyes, and he puffed up his cheeks and complained dutifully: "Who told you to hang up the curtains for me privately? I don't like this color, it looks like it was hung by a charming lady, I'm not , I'm just a commoner girl, I don't deserve this color!"
Dong Mo thought that he would definitely say that when he came back, so he sat under the window and laughed.The windows were also replaced with bright tiles, which were brighter and clearer than before, dripping into his eyes.
Xie Chun looked back at him, pretending not to see through her heart, still beckoning the little girl to hang up the curtain.After hanging it, I went to the window and asked, "Look at this, is it okay? I just don't know if the girl likes it or not."
Dong Mo suppressed his smile and put on his usual cold attitude, "I'll hang up too, it's up to her whether she likes it or not. You guys pack up and go back."
"Don't you go back together?"
"I'll sit down again."
He stayed privately and had nothing to do, so he went around the kitchen.The inside was tidy and clean. Although the pot was cold and the stove was cold, the sunlight under the window fell on the earthen stove, and the whole cool kitchen became bright yellow and warm.
Like a fire under a stove, crackling and burning dead wood.There seemed to be a smell of food in the pot, and the tinkling shovel sounded.It doesn't matter what kind of food he cooks, he doesn't care about food and clothing the least, he can't eat enough to satisfy his hunger.However, in this shabby kitchen, the world is interesting.
He took the lid of the pot in vain and glanced at it, then closed it with a smile, and went into the main room.On the newly made bed, he fell asleep and had a sound dream happily and peacefully.
Opening his eyes, he saw the servant standing in front of the bed, with a smile on his face, "There is a word from the garden that Mr. Liu sent the servant to invite him home."
Dong Mo had no choice but to get up, and led his servants home with Liu Chaoru.This end has been given a new look, and the house has been newly painted. The dilapidated white silk lanterns before have been replaced with four-cornered red palace lanterns, which have been hung around the three sides of the house, and brand new bamboo has been replaced on the windows. Qing Qian yarn.
Going in head-on, Dong Mo teased, "This is like getting married, and you are finally willing to fall in love."
Liu Chaoru greeted the boy to watch tea, and invited him to sit down, "Don't make fun of me, where do I have the time to think about this? Half a month ago, Meng Yu's wife sent a housekeeper to bring the boy over to decorate."
"Lord Meng's wife?" Dong Mo couldn't help thinking of that parrot-like shrill voice, and his pores all over his body trembled again, "It seems that I really want to marry a sister, and I've even thought about these things for you."
"Probably, Madam is careful, and sent someone to say that my mother is not in Jinan, and there is no one to take care of the house. I'm afraid I couldn't think of this, so I helped with the cooking, and it was also for her sister to come and live better."
From time to time, tea came, and Liu Chaoru invited him with a smile, "I have some clues about what you ordered. I contacted a salt merchant in Jinan who went to Nanjing to run salt. Because he knew that I was from Nanjing, he encountered a lot of trouble in Nanjing. Regarding the lawsuit, I asked someone to bring me a letter, asking me to speak for him in Nanjing. I checked it in private, and found that this person kept the price of salt in Nanjing very low, and there was not much profit to be made according to the market. If the price is sold, the cost must be low, and there must be a deficit in the salt tax.”
Dong Mo picked up his tea and smiled, "Naturally, a businessman, how can he do business that loses money? It's just that he wants to smash his job and reveal the collusion with the Salt Transportation Department. How can he be willing?"
"I'm looking for you to discuss this. He committed a lawsuit in Nanjing and offended the people in the Nanjing Ministry of War. How can I speak for the Sixth Department of Nanjing? I'm afraid you have to talk to the people in the Ministry of War and give him a secret order." Some stumbling blocks forced him to submit."
After finishing speaking, Dong Mo glanced at him from the edge of the teacup, admiring him in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just put down the white porcelain bowl slowly, "Alright, just pull Meng Yuzhangmi and others from this person Come out. What did he do in Nanking?"
Liu Chaoru said: "According to his letter, his caravan bumped into a group of officers and soldiers on the way to transport salt. The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to blackmail them and punched them. I asked the county magistrate to arrest the leader of the officers and soldiers, and beat him twenty times without any explanation. Unexpectedly, the officer and soldier was the nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Because he was aggressive, the Minister of the Ministry of War specially placed him in The camp was tempered. He didn't blackmail him that day, but he just watched the conflict between the two sides. He couldn't get angry and helped the brothers in the camp. The county magistrate's slap in the face made the lawsuit aggravated."
Dong Mo smiled, "What mess. Is this businessman still in Nanjing? Where's his family?"
"I was tied up by the Ministry of War. My family, I heard that after the beginning of spring, they took them to Nanjing for a short stay. They originally planned to send them back to Jinan in the summer. This letter was sent to me by his family, please. Please help me." Speaking of this point, Liu Chaoru smiled self-deprecatingly, "You really think highly of me."
Dong Mo was silent for a while, his smile was gloomy, "I have someone in the military department, tomorrow I will write a letter to Nanjing, and transfer him and his family to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. He just doesn't care about his own life. I don't care about my life. When did I say it, when will I let him go, otherwise I will charge him with the crime of framing the imperial court official, I don't see if he can bear it."
After some agreement, Liu Chaoru sent Dong Mo out, facing the warm wind blowing, and the newly grown leeks in the corner of the courtyard were pushed forward layer by layer like green waves.The heads of the newly planted mustard greens were also plucked. Looking from a distance, it seemed that the ground was splashed with emerald green from the cracks in the dilapidated bricks.
The wind recedes, and the city is spring again. It can be seen that nothing will never change. Even a green tree can be pulled out from the crevice of the dark well in the Meng family, which is lifeless all day long.
It was also on this day that Mengtiao led a group of women and girls to meet Yinlian in Yunsheng Lane.Meng Yu sat in the front carriage, all the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were holding ready-made clothes, and at the end was a big vermilion sedan chair, carried by eight people.Except for the music and beating troupe, this scene doesn't look like accepting a small child, but rather like marrying a wife in a serious way.
Caiyi sat in the car with her mouth pouted, feeling a little unhappy on both sides, "It's such a respectable person, it's taking advantage of her. My wife treats her so kindly, be careful when she enters the door and kicks her nose and face!"
Meng Yuan was sitting upright, with cold arcs on his lips, and a light tone that was dignified, "Wealth and honor can't always fascinate your eyes, so how can you have a charming heart? Whether it's Feng Guanren or Zhang Yinlian, maybe it's different for your master." , but it’s the same for your wife and me.”
"The madam is thinking, let her be Miss Mei's job?"
"Would you like to ask you to push me?" Meng Yao joked while pinching her tender cheeks.
Caiyi turned her face to give way, pouted her mouth high, and immediately took her arm with a smile again, "Madam is reluctant, Madam protects me."
In Caiyi's heart, since her family's downfall, Mengyuan is her sky.What about the dreamy sky?She opened the gaps in the curtains and looked around, and the vast green sky floated above the thousands of buildings, cut seven and eight by the jagged corners of the eaves.
Under the sunny sky, Yinlian stood at the door early to greet her, wearing a concubine-colored soft silk bijia with folded branches, a jade-white double-breasted Changchun shirt inside, a water-red gauze skirt underneath, and only a branch on her head. The phoenix-tailed nobile sent by the housekeeper the day before yesterday.
If Mengyu didn't come, it was Mengyu who came to pick her up, and she was so flustered that she asked her sister if she was dressed properly.Her sister said it a few times, and she became a little impatient, "Anywhere is good. My sister is afraid of what she will do, and the master is protecting her, so she is afraid that she will eat you?"
"Not only to be afraid, but also to respect." Yinlian raised her head to look, and then called people in a skirt to rush into the alley.
Carriages and sedan chairs were not allowed in, so Meng Tiao had to walk in, hugged by her mother-in-law and maidservants, wearing a blushing double-breasted gown, half of a pale plain silk skirt underneath, and a small ruby inlaid on her smooth forehead, looking innocent. Only a jasmine silk flower was worn in the caged cloud servant girl.A dress is simple yet colorful, elegant yet dignified.
Seeing the person approaching with Yinlian's eyes, when she met those eyes, she felt like a clear spring where ice and snow melted, an iceman who was stinging coldly, but her face was smiling and light.She didn't know how to act for a while, so she went up to meet him, only lowered her face.
"Look up and let me see."
That voice was also like a stream of water, and there was a coolness in Cheng Cong.Yinlian panicked for a moment, and slowly raised her face, she was met with a gentle smile.
"Sure enough." Meng Yuan glanced at Yu Lian next to her again, without saying anything, she led her into the door, "Go in and sit for a while, tell them to move your things to the car."
Walking around the main room, several women and maids hugged Meng Tiao and sat on the couch. Yin Lian knelt down and flattered her, "Madam, please have tea."
Meng Tiao picked it up, seeing her trembling eyelashes, she felt a little satisfied, and smiled like a servant girl on both sides, "My aunt seems to be a little afraid of me, tell her, I'm not usually scary."
A woman hurriedly answered and helped Yin Lian up, "I've been with you for a long time, I'll know, our wife looks tough on the outside, but she's soft-tempered."
The colorful clothes stood beside Meng Yuan, put on airs, and smiled intimidatingly, "There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as my aunt respects the elders, serves the master and wife, and does her duty well, no one in the mansion will ask her what to do." Yours is not."
Meng Yu glanced at her, took Yin Lian's hand and held it gently in her palm, "Don't listen to what she said to scare you, this girl just heard that the master married a young girl, so she is helping me. What do children know? Don't worry too much. ah."
"Don't dare, I just listen to my wife's orders in everything." These people surrounded her and said softly and harshly, so confused that Yinlian lost her mind and just nodded.
In the meantime, raise your eyes and look at Mengyuan up close, like the shadow of flowers under the moon, both illusory and real, beautiful and moving.Yinlian became more and more cautious, she didn't say a word, and relied on the servant to move her two boxes.
After a cup of tea, Meng Yao let go of her hand, looked out of the window, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go, we have to visit the old lady and Miss Mei when we return home. It's just that the master went to another place, you The wedding night in the bridal chamber will be deserted. Don’t be afraid, it’s because you can’t run away, and you’ll come back after a while, just make up for it.”
Speaking of which, a group of people went out with a smile on their face, and squeezed out a group of people watching the excitement at the entrance of the alley, those who should get on the sedan chair, and those who should board the sedan chair.
Coincidentally, when Dong Mo beat Liu Chao Ru's house, he said he wanted to walk, and the spring breeze blew all the way here.Seeing the beaming line in front of him, he casually asked the boy: "Who's married, it's so lively."
The young man asked passers-by for a while, and someone told him, and he came up and replied: "It is said that Meng Futai is taking a concubine."
"Take a concubine?" Dong Mo looked at the line ahead, and cut his arms calmly, "Such a big scene, it should be regarded as a wife marriage. Since Meng Futai is marrying a young girl, why don't you see Meng Futai on the horse?"
"I heard that Mengfutai went to the prefecture and county, and it was his wife who came to welcome the new aunt on his behalf. Even this scene was arranged by the wife, and everyone who knows will praise her for her virtue."
Dong Mo thought of that piercing voice again, and shook his head with a smile, "Is there really such a virtuous woman in the world? Even the empress in the palace occasionally gets jealous. This lady is really a legend." .”
While speaking, the pawn carriage was slowly approaching, surrounded by six maids and servants.The car curtains on the window and the door are all dark blue, a thin arm sticks out from the small window frame, the blushing cloak sleeve is stuck in the crook of the arm, and half of the white forearm is exposed underneath. , wearing a thin amethyst bracelet on her wrist, and a purple gauze of Zhang Qinglian hanging on her hand, fluttering in the wind.
Dong Mo gave way to the side, and the silk brushed over his shoulder, like a delicate hand, touched his heart lightly, and then retracted cowardly and gracefully.He looked back, and saw that the carriage was driving towards the sky ahead, which was twisted by the corners of the eaves of the two rows of houses.
He suddenly felt a little unspeakably dull for this strange woman.
The author says:
Dong Mo: Even if you are not by my side, there are still rumors about you around me.
Meng Tiao: Please recognize the real me and don't listen to others.
